Geng Nanzhong was a special person in the Song Dynasty.
He was not an important minister of the Song Dynasty, but he was a favorite minister of the Song Dynasty.
In Zhao Huan's mind, he and Qin Hui had similar approaches but also had problems that made it difficult for him to choose.
The difference from Qin Hui is that Geng Nanzhong does not have the reputation of killing famous generals in history, but the reputation of this guy in history is really not very good.
In history, on the third day after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he ordered Geng Nazhong to sign a letter to the Privy Council. Geng Nazhong was afraid of the Jin army and "ran away from Fengjiaofang" and once escaped from Kaifeng.
Later, he was also a man of God during his time in power.
He did two things.
The first is to eliminate dissidents, and the second is to "maintain peace talks" and undermine the resistance to gold.
Just such a person, no matter what the reason is, he will die in the hands of Zhao Huan. Even if he, like Qin Hui, has not done as much evil as in history, he will not live long.
But not only did he live a long life, he also lived well. Even the six ministers like Zhao Ding tried their best to be polite to him.
Even the Imperial City Chief Tong Guan back then, or the current Imperial City Chief Zhang Yong, would be extremely polite and stay away from him when meeting him.
Generals stationed abroad should bow first when meeting.
Even if his status is not high, it is the same.
He can have such a status only because he is Geng Nanzhong, and his background is extremely special in today's Song Dynasty.
Geng Nanzhong is a native of Kaifeng. Shenzong Yuanfeng won the Jinshi in the fifth year, so he can be regarded as a guy with quite good talent.
After he won the exam, he was also quite capable, and his qualifications were obvious.
He was promoted to Changping, two Zhejiang provinces, and moved to Hebei West Road, Guangnan East Road, and Kuizhou Road. Later, he was called Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and appointed as Piyong Siye. After sitting down, he went out to Quzhou.
With this qualification, all aspects of solving cases, the location, personnel transfers, and the central household department are all in place.
These qualifications are just embellishments for him. What really made him so proud was his second year in Zhenghe.
As a member of the Ministry of Rites, he successfully became the right concubine of the crown prince, the crown prince Zhan Shi, and the direct bachelor of Huiyou Pavilion. He was also the confidant of Zhao Huan who was still the crown prince of the Song Dynasty.
And this work took a full ten years.
Even if Zhao Huan came to this world now and saw Geng Nanzhong again, a man who had harmed the country, he still couldn't kill him.
Not for anything else, just for the ten years of friendship.
In ten years, no one in the world knew that Zhao Ji loved the third prince Zhao Kai and wished he could give everything he had and even his throne to Zhao Kai.
As for Zhao Huan, at that time he was just a prince whose mother had died, had no backer, and was waiting to be deposed.
Even the powerful officials in the court would have to shame themselves to plead with him.
In this case, only Geng Nanzhong followed Zhao Huan for ten years without any complaints. During these ten years, although he was not that reliable as a counselor.
But his loyalty is still certain.
Such a person, Zhao Huan, really couldn't do that.
This is not just a matter of loyalty and treachery, it is the human heart.
As long as Geng Nanzhong doesn't do anything excessive, Zhao Huan will support him. As long as he supports him, the world will see Zhao Huan's nostalgia.
For an emperor, this is extremely important.
It is precisely because of this that Geng Nanzhong has such a proud status. Even though he does not have any real power position, no one will underestimate him.
When Qin Hui said this person's name, Zhang Yong had such a feeling.
"Qin Hui, do you want to drag me, the Imperial City Secretary, to death with you?"
"Why did Commander Zhang say this?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yong sneered, "You asked me, the Imperial City Secretary, to confront Geng Nanzhong. If you are not careful, your Majesty will not let me wait!"
"But this is the duty of the Imperial City Division in Luoyang. Now that the opportunity has come, the Imperial City Division is standing still. Then your Majesty will probably be even more unable to spare you!"
Qin Hui's words made Zhang Yong's face even more ugly. He kept groping with the handle of the knife on the side of his hand, as if he was thinking about whether to kill this guy right here.
Qin Hui didn't feel any panic at this time. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yong with a smile on his face, as if waiting for his decision.
"With your empty words, could it be possible that I, the Imperial City Secretary, would offend Geng Nanzhong because of your empty words?
He is His Majesty's favorite, even the Six Ministers and Li Guang are not willing to offend him.
Some trivial matters are just a slight reprimand from His Majesty.
This kind of people are beyond our power to deal with! "
"Actually, Commander Zhang Yong knows that Geng Nanzhong, who seems to have a high status now, actually has quite a lot of complaints in his heart.
After all, Geng Nazhong was not a good person when he was still in the East Palace. He was by no means a loyal person, nor was he a minister of the country.
No matter whether it is an official or a minister of the Manchu Dynasty, who doesn't know this?
Isn't that why His Majesty left him idle?
But why did Geng Nanzhong spend ten years accompanying officials in the palace?
After all, it was not because King Yun looked down on him back then, and Emperor Daojun also looked down on him. The official family had no choice back then, and he, Geng Nanzhong, had no choice back then.
Why not go all the way to the dark side, what if a miracle happens?
Now a miracle has occurred, but what has become of Geng Nazhong, who was supposed to be the minister of the dragon?
What he wants is not this honor, what he wants is the right, the real right.
He can't get it, so it's reasonable for him to find other ways..."
"What you said is reasonable, but it's not enough for me to take action!" Zhang Yong interrupted Qin Hui's words, then stepped out, then took out the sword in his hand and put it on Qin Hui's neck.
"You'd better say something useful, otherwise you won't be able to get out today.
Based on what I just said, if a certain family kills you, there is no reason at all! "
Looking at the fierceness in Zhang Yong's eyes, he knew that this guy was not telling lies. He came here today to fight to the death.
He took the initiative to come to the Imperial City Division. Whether he was spying on the Imperial City Division or "falsely accusing" his colleagues in the court, Zhang Yong, as the commander of the Imperial City Division, could take the opportunity to kill him.
In the end, even if someone in the court criticized him, he would just lift it up high and put it down gently.
After all, with the protection of the officials, Zhang Yong would not really recover from the fall, and the Imperial City Division would only lose some rights in the end, which was in line with everyone's wishes.
Qin Hui is not a fool. As I said before, he came here to survive, not to die.
The reason why he dared to come here today was because he had calculated that Zhang Yong not only wanted to kill him, but also wanted to solve the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty.
In recent years, many situations in the Song Dynasty have been learned by the Jin people. Both parties have installed some spies internally and bribed some officials. This is not a big problem.
Tong Guan also did this kind of thing in Jinren and Xixia. Zhang Yong took over the Imperial City Division for many years, with little credit but considerable power.
He needed this opportunity to dig out the problems within the Song Dynasty to prove his ability.
And Qin Hui has now given him this opportunity. As long as he succeeds, then he can be proud of himself in the court.
As for Qin Hui, he will never die here before the dust settles. Zhang Yong needs a scapegoat!
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, whether this matter is true or false, Zhang Yong needs such a person to stand in front of him to share the pressure for him, so as to protect himself.
This is Qin Hui's plan, and of course it is only part of Qin Hui's plan.
"Why do you know that Geng Nanzhong is a spy of the Jin people? I'm afraid it's not credible just based on your baseless guess."
Zhang Yong is really quite talented, and this agility is also the biggest reason why Zhao Huan values him. He directly found the biggest flaw in these words, that is, Qin Hui, a guy who can't catch anything all day long, how did he do it? To understand these things better than their Imperial City Division.
"Actually, the commander has great talents, and there is no doubt about the ability of the Imperial City Secretary, but after all, the commander has been in office not long ago, and he has no foundation in the court before.
When Commander Tong Guan was still alive, he had a dense network of spies in the court. No one was not under his supervision, and no one dared to hide anything from him.
So there is no disadvantage.
But Commander Zhang Yong did not have this advantage, and it was inevitable that he would be restrained by these people.
But it was different for a certain family. Apart from the court and home, their favorite teahouse and restaurant was right opposite the gate of Geng Nanzhong's mansion.
Maybe the commander never found out..."
"Have you suspected Geng Nanzhong from the beginning?"
"A certain family has to seek a way out, and Geng Nanzhong is the person that the certain family can most easily think of, and he is also the person that Commander Zhang Yong does not dare to touch.
In order to survive, you have to do this! "
"what have you found?"
"If the commander trusts a certain family, he can go with that family today. I think there will be a surprise!"
"..." Zhang Yong was silent, but the twinkle in his eyes also showed his heartbeat.
At dusk, under the leadership of Qin Hui, Zhang Yong led hundreds of experts from the Imperial City Division into the area around Geng Nanzhong's mansion. At the same time, after giving an order, the Imperial City Division rushed directly into the mansion.
He pulled Geng Nanzhong directly out of the mansion.
Geng Nanzhong, who was sleeping, had no idea what was going on. His face was full of fear and anger, and he kept yelling at Zhang Yong.
But immediately after, several letters and the woman on his bed were also pulled out.
"The letter was given by the Jin man, and the woman is the beauty sent by Wan Yandan. Naturally, this person is inseparable from the Jin man."
"You fart..."
"Although Commander Zhang Yong and Geng Nanzhong have never had any real power, their relationship is very important in Luoyang..."
