Looking at Chen Junqing's expression, Zhang Jun was slightly moved.
But then he thought of Zhao Gou and Zhao Gou's attitude, and all the plans and strategies in his heart turned into a ball of smoke and drifted away.
The most helpless thing in the world is that the ministers are about to fight to the death, but Your Majesty surrenders first.
So Zhang Jun sighed deeply.
"Yingqiu, I know your ambitions and ambitions, but today's world situation no longer allows us to propose any ideas such as the Northern Expedition. The imperial court has signed an agreement with the Liberation Army to help each other and open up mutual markets. This is of great significance. What most courtiers are after.”
Chen Junqing immediately shook his head.
"They only look at the present and don't look at the long term at all! How powerful the Liberation Army is. I thought this was the second maritime alliance! Once the Liberation Army completely pacifies the north and destroys the Jin Kingdom, it is very likely to go south! By then, the Song Dynasty will what to do?"
Zhang Jun was silent for a long time, then turned his head to look at his friends and followers with different expressions, and sighed deeply.
He didn't say anything about strategies, he didn't say anything about coping strategies, he just said his final farewell.
"I'm leaving, everyone, take care."
Zhang Jun felt that he had a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out anyway.
Zhang Jun didn't have much in Lin'an City. Apart from his family and some simple clothes, everything he had after arriving in Lin'an was rewarded by Zhao Gou, and it was all in that luxurious courtyard.
This time Zhang Jun left, of course he would not take away the luxurious courtyard. He also kept all the things in it. What he took away was only his family and the things they brought with them when they came to Lin'an.
Arriving in Lin'an in the first month and leaving Lin'an in early December, for Zhang Jun, everything he experienced in less than a year was like a dream to him.
When you wake up from the dream, everything is over and it’s time for people to leave.
So Zhang Jun got on the donkey cart without looking back, and the Zhang family's donkey cart team went further and further away, until the people who stayed in Lin'an could no longer see it.
What Zhang Jun didn't know was that when he left, Zhao Gou also climbed to the highest point in the palace and looked to the west of Lin'an City, as if he could see Zhang Jun here.
Tang Situi stood beside Zhao Gou, looking at Zhao Gou looking into the distance and feeling a little strange.
Zhao Goupan and the stars and the moon finally took Zhang Junpan away, but now he seems a little reluctant to leave Zhang Junpan.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Deyuan has left."
Townsend quit speaking as a reminder.
Zhao Gou didn't speak when he heard this, but was silent for a while, then lowered his head and sighed deeply.
"I know he is gone, but for some reason, I suddenly feel reluctant to let him go. Jinzhi, why do you think this is? I obviously don't want to see him so much, but now that he is leaving, I can't let him go..."
How could Tang Situi understand Zhao Gou's extremely complicated heart?
So he could only use the magic elixir of words.
"Your Majesty is tired and should take a good rest."
Tang Situi just used this sentence as a panacea, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had intention. Zhao Gou really felt tired at that moment, and it was a bit difficult to hold on.
He felt that he had been worrying about the life and death of the Southern Song Dynasty for most of his life, and finally managed to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, send the Kingdom of Jin away, and send Wanyan Liang away. He was really tired after persisting until now.
Perhaps it's time to step back, take a break and enjoy real life?
Such an idea popped up in Zhao Gou's mind, and once it popped up, it never disappeared. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger.
On the way back to the palace, Zhao Gou and Tang Sidei talked about something.
"Previously, Chen Kangbo reported to the table that there have been a large number of private salt dealers selling private salt in the border area between Chuzhou and Haizhou. They use the purchased Haizhou salt as private salt and sell it in the Huainan area. The local government has repeatedly banned it. I hope the imperial court can Come up with a countermeasure."
Tang Situi was stunned when he heard this.
"Haizhou Salt? Haizhou...isn't that under the control of the Liberation Army?"
"Yes, the Liberation Army is in charge, so what can you do?"
Tang Situi thought for a while and then said, "Can't we just send someone to negotiate with them and ask them to restrain the private salt dealers in the country?"
Zhao Gou shook his head.
"It's useless. The Chuzhou side has already sent people to tell them, but the Liberation Army is just prevaricating, and it's full of hypocrisy. Therefore, Chuzhou has nothing to do. They also suspect that those private salt dealers may be the Liberation Army. Controlled, this is the money the Liberation Army wants to make privately."
After hearing this, Tang Situi gradually frowned and carefully considered his words before speaking slowly.
"How does Your Majesty think this matter should be handled?"
"I'm asking you."
"This... in my opinion, this matter should not be made public. It concerns the Liberation Army, and we have just concluded a peace treaty. It should not be discussed in a big way. It is best to deal with it in private. Chen Kangbo publicly went public, It’s really out of consideration.”
Tang Situi calmly applied eye drops to Chen Kangbo.
Sure enough, Zhao Gou's face began to look ugly.
"I have also considered this matter in this way. It is related to the relationship between the Liberation Army and our court. It is really not appropriate to make it public, otherwise it will definitely cause bad things. Chen Changqing... I have not considered it!"
Tang Situi was secretly happy and said: "However, this matter is not a big deal. Our country strictly prohibits smuggled salt, but the Liberation Army allows smuggled salt dealers to come to our country to sell smuggled salt. If this kind of thing is revealed, the Liberation Army will It’s not easy to explain, right?
Moreover, I have heard a little bit that this kind of thing happened in the past when the Jin Kingdom was here. Haizhou and Chuzhou have always been the areas hardest hit by private salt. The Liberation Army did not do this at first, but now they have followed the Jin Kingdom and started to do it. I have to say it's a bit excessive. "
Regarding the important salt tax revenue, Zhao Gou was also in a bit of a dilemma.
"This...should we negotiate with the Liberation Army in the name of the imperial court?"
"In this regard, it depends on how His Majesty views it."
Tang Si calmly said that he did not want to say more and would leave everything to His Majesty the Emperor's will.
Zhao Gou then took a few steps forward, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Forget it, the smuggling of salt has been banned many times, not because there are people selling it, but because there are people buying it. As long as no one is willing to buy it, then it's okay." No one will sell it.
At present, the world has not been peaceful for a few days. Let Chuzhou pay attention not to conflict with the Liberation Army. Deal with the private salt dealers in Chuzhou. Kill them when they need to be killed and arrest them when they need to be arrested. Don't be reluctant to do so. Understand. ?
Who are those private salt dealers controlling and profiting from? Do they really think I don’t know? The hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. It’s not that I don’t understand these principles, but I can’t go too far! "
Tang Situi felt solemn and nodded.
"I know, I will make arrangements immediately."
"After getting rid of the private salt dealers, can civilians go directly to the private salt dealers across the street to buy salt?"
Zhao Gou sighed and waved his hand: "In short, remember, try not to conflict with the people of the Liberation Army when handling this matter. The killing is limited to Chuzhou, and you must not cause the displeasure of the Liberation Army."
Zhao Gou set the tone for this matter.
No matter what you do, you must not cause displeasure with the Liberation Army to avoid causing international disputes.
