When a terrible storm began to brew in Kaifeng Mansion due to the arrival of "millions of Western troops" and the Jin people's deceptive peace plan, the Daming Mansion where Zhao Kai was located was still peaceful.
A big battle had just ended, and it was quite hard going up and down, so of course I had to take a good rest for a few days.
On the fourth day after returning to Damingfu City, King Yun Zhao Kai, who had already comforted the three women at home, still put out a sign of recuperating his energy and did not arrange any government or military activities. He just hid in the palace city of Daming Mansion and quietly summoned his three confidants who stayed in Daming Mansion City during the expedition - Chen Ji, Wang Xiaode, and Baiside.
The place to summon these three confidants was not placed in the Chongzheng Hall of the palace city, but was chosen on a section of the city wall of the palace city.
There are horse-mounting and dismounting paths at both ends of the city wall, which are guarded by Tiance guards. No one is allowed to enter the city without Zhao Kai's order. On the entire city wall, there were only four people, Zhao Kai, Chen Ji, Wang Xiaode, and Baiside.
Zhao Kai was pacing pretentiously with his hands behind his back, while Chen Ji, Wang Xiaode and Baiside were walking side by side behind him.
"Your Majesty, the matter of setting up a successor for your Majesty that day was actually initiated by Cai Yuan... He may have thought that your Majesty would not be able to defeat Medicine Master Guo, so he wanted me and Qin Changshi to give away the property stored in the Marshal's Mansion. Give it to him!"
The one who is snitching is Chen Ji. He is Zhao Kai’s confidant and Zhao Kai’s spy who stays in Daming Mansion to monitor everyone. This is what he thinks. They are all used to fight against gold, and they don't pay much attention to spy work.
However, the two lackeys Chen Ji and Wang Xiaode were relatively effective. Without Zhao Kai's instructions, they began to monitor the ministers below for their lord. Not only the military attachés were monitored, but even the senior civil servants in Damingfu City were also targeted by them.
Of course, the spy resources they have at their disposal can no longer be compared with what they had in Kaifeng Mansion. At that time, there were six marriage commanders under the Imperial City Division, with three to four thousand marriage officers. But now they only have two to three hundred former marriage officers, and most of them are officials in the Marshal's Mansion, with their own duties. He can only make a cameo appearance as a secret agent. Therefore, the efficiency of spy work cannot be compared with before.
But it is more than enough to grasp the movements of Cai Mao, Du Chong, Qin Hui, Lu Yihao, Zhao Zhi and others.
"Do you know why Cai Mao wants money?" Zhao Kai asked.
Wang Xiaode hurriedly took the question and replied: "Cai Yuan, Governor Du and Lu Yuan discussed and prepared to mobilize soldiers and horses from Jizhou, Hejian, Cangzhou and other places to defend the name after the king's defeat... At the same time, we are seeking peace from Medicine Master Guo, so we need to spend a lot of money."
"I know..." Zhao Kai thought about it for a while and didn't think there was anything wrong, so he asked again, "Qin Changshi refuses to give it?"
"Of course he refused," Chen Ji said with a smile, "He was sure that the king could win, so he refused to give up."
"Really?" Zhao Kai didn't think so - Qin Hui kept digging at his property and refused to give it to him, it must be to sabotage Kang Jin, or it might be to facilitate his own embezzlement!
The reason why Qin Hui was taken out of Kaifeng Mansion was because he was afraid that he would encourage Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan to betray their country and beg for mercy. And letting him be the chief historian is a last resort choice when no one can... Now that his conspiracy has been discovered, and Zhao Kai already has many talents under him, it is natural to find an opportunity to transfer him out A long-standing post!
Chen Ji didn't know that Zhao Kai had already mastered the irrefutable evidence that Qin Hui had betrayed his country for glory and persecuted Zhongliang. How much did Zhao Kai think of Qin Hui? He actually nodded and said: "Fortunately, Qin Changshi resisted, otherwise the money would have been transferred to Cai, and King Shen might have been helped up by Du Zhizhou!"
"What happened to supporting King Shen?" Zhao Kai frowned and asked, "Does King Shen have a relationship with Du Chong?"
"Your Majesty," Zhao Kai's "General Manager" Bai Side immediately took over the question, "After King Shen arrived at Daming Mansion, he stayed in the palace and never left the palace. He had no friendship with Du Chong."
"Your Majesty," Chen Ji said, "Du Zhizhou just wanted to make a decision... The merits of this dynasty are mainly attributed to the decision. Han Zhongxian was valued by the Heavenly Family because of his contribution to the decision-making of the two dynasties. In exchange for his son, The wealth and honor of our descendants.”
Zhao Kai gave a wry smile: "This dynasty has not made any great achievements since the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty. It has fought repeatedly against the outside world, and even the little Western thieves can't defeat it... The ministers will make plans and make decisions." Good job!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Ji again - Chen Ji was also planning this decision!
Chen Ji felt confident and said: "But Du Zhizhou should not recommend King Shen because the king has a son!"
son......
When Zhao Kai thought about his son and daughter, he couldn't accept it... He always felt that they were two "sluggish people"!
However, Du Chong supported Zhao Zhi, which Zhao Kai couldn't bear, because Zhao Kai felt that he was the chosen one and could not be killed by Guo Yaoshi and his like. However, there is a possibility of being temporarily defeated and unable to return to Damingfu City... If Zhao Xin is appointed as Grand Marshal when he is unable to return to Damingfu City, then when he comes back, he can still take back the power of Marshal ?
This matter is completely different from Li Zhao's theory!
Zhao Lun is a child and cannot be in power. Making him the commander is just like a puppet. The real people in power are Zhu Fengying and Pan Cailian. Of course they can take back their power after they return to the city.
So this Du Chong... must be controlled well, but he cannot be allowed to replace Cai Maozhi in Daming Mansion. .
Zhao Kai asked in a calm voice: "Then what should Du Chong do?"
Chen Ji suggested: "After Pharmacist Guo arrives in Beicangzhou, the king can order Du Chong to counterattack Beicangzhou. If he is willing to go, let him go to Cangzhou to fend for himself. If he is not willing, the king will take the opportunity to seize him. military power."
"How to take it?" Zhao Kai asked.
"The king can order Liang Daguan to lead his army to counterattack Cangzhou. Liang Daguan is to capture and kill envoys. It is his duty to lead troops to attack, while Du Zhizhou is just a civilian official.
After Du Zhizhou handed over his military power, the king transferred him to military counselor, so that he could be emptied. "
Zhao Kai frowned and said, "But how dare Liang Fangping go to Cangzhou?"
"Liang Daguan does not have to leave Daming Mansion," Chen Ji said. "After the king leaves Daming Mansion, Liang Daguan can be asked to stay."
The reason why Zhao Kai entered Daming Mansion first was because Daming Mansion was the headquarters of the Hebei Transport Envoy and the seat of Beijing in the Song Dynasty. The city had many people, abundant reserves, and many garrison troops.
However, Zhao Kai did not plan to stay in Daming Mansion for a long time. Yue Fei's hometown, Xiangzhou, was Zhao Kai's ideal anti-golden base camp. Xiangzhou was adjacent to Taihang to the west, plains to the east, and Zhangshui River to the north. Yecheng, the famous ancient capital city during the Cao Wei and Northern and Southern Dynasties, is located in Xiangzhou!
However, the stronghold of Daming Mansion cannot be given up easily. It must be run by capable defenders. Cai Mao, the former magistrate of the daimyo, had to follow Zhao Kai to Xiangzhou because he served as a transshipment officer in Hebei. The transshipment envoy in the Song Dynasty was a senior official in charge of local money and food. If Zhao Kai wanted to truly control Hebei, he had to take the transshipment envoy Si. in hand.
Zhao Kai shook his head, "How can he keep his name? Let Li Lu from Hebei East Road come to Daming Mansion." He thought for a while and then said, "When Li Lu takes over Daming Mansion, let Liang Fangping take over the Cangzhou soldiers." Leave it to Li Lu and let him continue to serve next to the lonely king."
"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Ji praised Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai smiled and knew that he was very wise. He could tell who was loyal and who was traitorous at a glance, so he asked Chen Ji again: "What about Qin Hui? How should the lonely king deal with him?"
What? What happened to Qin Hui?
Chen Ji, Wang Xiaode, and Baiside were all stunned. They didn't realize that Qin Hui was a traitor!
Zhao Kai glanced at Chen Ji and said in a low voice: "Qin Hui is a traitor and a loyal person, and he is still the prince's son, so he does not agree with Gu. Gu took him out of the capital just to find a capable person to manage the accounts... ....Now that the lonely king has so many talented people, he is no longer needed!"
It turns out that Qin Hui is a traitor!
Chen Ji, Wang Xiaode and Baiside said to themselves: I really didn’t see it...
Chen Ji thought for a while and said to Zhao Kai: "Since Qin Hui is a traitor, the king should not alarm him. It is best to suddenly attack and dismiss him.
However, Qin Hui is a civil servant after all, and he has no serious faults on the surface, so the king should give him a nominal official position first, and then find opportunities to rectify it later. "
Zhao Kai nodded and was about to ask Chen Ji how to deal with Qin Hui when a Tiance guard suddenly ran up to the top of the city, huffing and puffing. When he saw Zhao Kai, he bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Qin wants to see you! "
What?
Zhao Kai and Chen Ji looked at each other, both a little stunned - this meant Qin Hui, Qin Hui had arrived!
...
Asking for a recommendation vote!
