No matter how the Manchu ministers attacked and denied Zhao Gonglian's ability, Zhao Ji recognized Zhao Gonglian's talent in governing the country and securing the country was definitely the first in the world.

It is this kind of understanding that he first cherished, and then he was determined to weaken Cangzhao and find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Zhao Gonglian, so as not to threaten the throne of the country with harder wings.

Such a peerless powerhouse, and at the age of thirty and sharp, if he really had the intention to rebel, the disaster caused by it is only afraid that the sky will fall, and the consequences will be better than this national disaster that makes people frightened day and night.

The frenzy of rebellion against the people did not upset the Great Song regime, but if Zhao Gonglian rebelled, the direct result would first be that the hearts of the Great Song Dynasty would be lost, and the Great Song Dynasty was only afraid of ......

Zhao Ji was so shocked that his hands trembled, and he only felt that his eyes were black.

After working hard for a long time, he sank down, and looked at the twists and turns carefully again, but he was not grounded and didn't understand the mediocrity of the situation, and he could see what was greasy from the twists and turns.

He only saw that the date of the recital was a long time ago, and he couldn't help but be furious.

The soldiers all instructed that this matter should be reported to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, which shows that they also know the power of it, and they want to report to the emperor to prepare early, but why is this performance only played now?

Zhao Ji immediately cast his angry and suspicious gaze on the prime minister who was standing there waiting for him to respond, and thought secretly: What is the purpose of Bai Shizhong's detention of Song Zhihuai? Why did he dare to be so bold......

Finally suppressed the murderous intent that was about to become perverted and violent again, Zhao Ji tried his best to keep his voice calm and gentle, and asked, "Bai Xiang, what do you have to say?" ”

Bai Shizhong saw that the emperor was looking at him unkindly, and it was really a disaster, so he hurriedly stated the reasons and hardships he had prepared, and explained the reason for the suppression.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

Bai Shizhong is right.

In the sinister situation when the country was out of control at that time, it was indeed impossible to offend the interests of Cangzhao and detonate Zhao Gonglian's anger and murder.

It's a good priority.

It's just that it's one thing to not be able to immediately investigate and deal with Liangshan, and it's another thing to report it. Why didn't you let me know sooner, so I had a plan in mind to prepare early?

Bai Shizhong also knew that this was what could kill him.

He suppressed his panic, and explained calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so, with the chaos in the world at that time, Marquis Wencheng had strong dissatisfaction and even resentment towards the imperial court, but he still kept his eyes on the dynamics of the Liao State and held the northern frontier to prevent the Liao Kou from taking the opportunity to drive the army directly south. He didn't move in the slightest, which is telling. ”

He didn't dare to say that Zhao Gonglian didn't have the heart to rebel.

I haven't figured out what happened to Liang Shanbo;

Nor will he make such assurances.

The imperial court must clean up Zhao Gonglian, sooner or later. Who would be stupid enough to make a political endorsement guarantee for Zhao Gonglian, who has been charged with an invisible crime?

He could only say it so vaguely but effectively guiding the emperor's mind.

When Zhao Ji heard it, it was too.

The period of chaos is the best time to rebel and seize power, it can be called a golden opportunity, with the prestige of the Cangzhao family to lead the rebellion can be said to be easy to become a big thing, I am afraid that not only the Cangbei army will be a hundred responses to the civil and military and follow the rebellion, the entire Hebei East Road people will follow the rebellion, Gaoyangguan Road in the Hebei East Road army will not all follow the rebellion, at least the army will collapse, Zhao Gonglian will immediately be able to gain a firm foothold in the Hebei East Road, the news will spread to the world, The people who want to take refuge in pirates are only afraid that the vast majority of them will turn to the Cangzhao family, which knows and trusts better, and under that trend, the Cangzhao rebels are unstoppable, and even pirates can only retreat overseas to avoid the edge.

Under such favorable conditions, there is no need to be ambitious, but if there is a little rebellion against the imperial court, I am afraid that individuals will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

With such a good opportunity, the country is almost at his fingertips, but Zhao Gonglian did not oppose it, but complained about the injustice of the court and the traitor misguided the country because of the family's misery, which shows that he at least has no objection.

Zhao Gonglian is still loyal, and if he doesn't want to rebel, it's okay.

Zhao Ji unconsciously exhaled heavily, and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and his mood suddenly became much more stable.

At the same time, he was also afraid that he did not reward Zhao Gonglian for his merits in guarding the border, but instead repeatedly beat people by tricks, ignoring the pain and anger of others.

It's really arrogant and ridiculous.

In the crisis of the country, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he should know how to focus on appeasing the strong and capable ministers of the frontier like Zhao Gonglian, strive to stabilize the hearts of the important officials in the military power, and reduce the risk of the overturning of the country as much as possible.

Fortunately, it didn't work back.

Otherwise, this kind of stupidity will go down in history and become another faint joke of the dead country.

However, Zhao Ji was also very aggrieved in his heart.

The frenzy of defection caused by pirates is unprecedented.

Who knew such a terrible thing would happen?

Who knew that the pirate naval battle was powerful, and the land battle was so strong and invincible, I was afraid that it was more fierce than the iron cavalry army of the Liao army?

Pirates are dirty, fierce and barbaric, killing people like mowing grass, and their notoriety is too terrifying and disgusting, and it is just an arrogant and arrogant small state regime created by wild and ignorant wild people outside the territory, composed of wild islands of all sizes, how can it be compared to the corner of the Great Song Dynasty's treasures? Who knew that it could win the hearts of the people, and make a fuss along the coast, and it could actually attract almost the entire soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty to follow them frantically?

The fact that a little pirate who plays in the water and fishes can threaten the regime of the Central Plains has never even been heard of in history. The change of dynasty has always been caused by internal divisions or the northern barbarians riding and shooting with fast horses and scimitars, and looting and attacking with the brutality and ferocity of the invincible, not afraid of death, mad beasts, and massacres.

There is no lesson in history, and there is no experience and psychological preparation in this area!

In the face of such a disaster, it should be normal for the emperor to make a wrong judgment and make some ridiculous decisions, right?

Pardonable.

Therefore, the previous way of making difficulties and persecuting Zhao Gonglian was not that I was stupid, it was not that I was mediocre, nor was it that I lacked the ability to control the country, was politically immature, naïve, and played willful nonsense.

People are accustomed to receiving merit for themselves, and others have it.

This is even more true of an emperor like Zhao Ji, who is extremely vain and arrogant.

He will never admit that he is not smart and unsuitable to be an emperor, and he does not admit that he is unbridled and willful, and he ruined the country.

Even if it is stupid and inappropriate, it is because the civil and military officials under their command are incompetent or do not have the heart to serve loyally, and do not understand the details of the pirates in time, so that the pirates can grow calmly and rapidly to the terrible level they are today, and the ministers have not taken the responsibility of governing the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so that the Great Song Dynasty regime is so unpopular and the population loss is so alarming.

It's all the fault of Cai Jing, an old man with dizzy eyes and a rigid head.

If I am at fault, it is that I should not let such an old Cai Jing take charge for a long time.

This mistake has been corrected.

Replaced people who are in the prime of life, strong and not rigid, and have a rigid head come to power. I have also learned a profound lesson, and I will never use someone too old to be the prime minister in the future.

People who are too old cannot keep up with the form, so they know how to deal with problems with old vision and experience, and they cannot cope with the new situation, and the leadership of the country is too misguided, and they almost bring down the country.

Zhao Ji summed up his mistakes like this, if Cai Jing, who was ambitious and wanted to ascend the phase again, knew, I don't know how this old guy would react.

Deliberately plotting to seize power, Cai Jing is just working blindly, except for further accelerating the demise of the Great Song Dynasty and making him have more sins, there is no other use for other fart.

However, Cai Jing didn't know this.

Zhao Ji hated Cai Jing for misleading the country but did not pursue the crime, and also connived at him to live in the capital for the elderly, wanting to use Cai Jing's political wisdom when needed, giving the old thief the convenience of doing evil.

As a result, Cai Jing was able to continue to be obsessed with the best loser and good partner the emperor, conceited, smart and wise, and resolutely and willfully worked.

Bai Shizhong didn't have the eyes to see through people's hearts, so he naturally didn't know that the emperor had made up his mind in his heart that no one would use Cai Jing as the prime minister again.

He peeked at it and knew that the wise emperor had figured out the key, so he took the opportunity to further explain vaguely in words that the emperor could understand: "In this way, the minister is not too worried. What is going on in the bandit war on the Liangshan side and what the specific situation is also needs to be verified, so the minister did not report the matter as a matter of urgency. It's just that the minister also blames himself. The minister has been too busy in the past few months, so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and there are too many important things to deal with, so he was busy forgetting this recital and missed the early recital. ”

In this way, he not only shirked the blame for the detention of the fold, but also explained to the emperor in disguise his loyalty and the extremely hard work of bearing the national disaster.

Zhao Ji also knew how this disaster was tormenting people and how it tested the ability of the prime minister and the important officials to govern the country and level the world.

He dissipated his anger, regained some reason, forgave Bai Shizhong's mistake, and passed the recital to the ministers for everyone to discuss how to deal with it.

The courtiers all knew the news in advance and were prepared, so they naturally understood that the focus of the emperor's question was not how to reward the government and Liangshan to suppress bandits, but how to investigate the details of Liangshan, and how to deal with it, in case Marquis Wencheng had already rebelled, and had quietly prepared a strong starting force in Liangshan.

Bai Shizhong was naturally prepared in this regard, and he was just about to open his mouth to say a suggestion.

Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, this matter must not be reckless and rude. Deli Qincha should be sent to Liangshan in the form of commendation and condolences to find out. ”

Zhao Ji hummed with satisfaction and praised Zhang Bangchang for his calmness in dealing with the country.

At present, the world is in turmoil, the people's hearts are undecided, the local government is being reorganized, the army is reorganizing, and there is a lack of adaptability, which is the time to anger Zhao Gonglian.

Even if the Cangzhao family has rebelled and made some preparations in Liangshan, the court must be able to appease the delay as much as possible, the more it drags on, the world is stable, the stronger the strength of the court is restored, the more stamina there is, and the greater the grasp of the rebellion, this is the advantage of the country's overall strength and orthodox convenience over the local rebels, and Zhao Gonglian must not be forced to rebel immediately.

Regarding this truth, Zhao Ji is naturally clear.

Zhang Bangchang's suggestion was adopted, and this set the tone.

How to deal with Liangshan became who was the angel to appease and fool Cangzhao, and by the way, find out the reality of Liangshan's troops.

As soon as this issue came, the civil and military officials who discussed hundreds of people at the court meeting became dumb.

It's cold. No one wants to take the initiative to stand up and be this angel.

It's not a good job.

If Liangshan really reserves troops to rebel, the Qin who went to reconnoiter entered the kind of wilderness that can be called isolated from the world surrounded by huge water pools, called every day should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, if no secret is discovered, there may be a chance to come out alive, as long as there is a little discovery, or the people of Liangshan are a little suspicious and want to live? There are no doors.

I can only wait for death there. Only those who were interrogated, tortured, and slaughtered by the Liangshan people at will.

No matter how powerful and majestic the imperial court is, it will not be able to save Qincha's urgency at that time.

Taking a step back, the Liangshan bandits are a unique and ingenious means of the ingenious Cangzhao people, there is no terrible force, and they have no intention of rebelling at all, it is safe to go, so they will not go.

The emperor has the intention to get rid of Zhao Gonglian, and the so-called Xuanfu rewards Liangshan, it is impossible to really take out a lot of real money and silver to help Cangzhao overcome the difficulties of family ruin.

With the emperor's current thoughts, I am afraid that he can't even use Zhao Gonglian's fortune to starve to death by the disaster of Zhao Zhuang's destruction, but he can coax Zhao Gonglian to continue to loyally defend the border for the Great Song Dynasty, until Zhao Gonglian is useless and can be replaced and killed; I'm afraid that I can't wait to swallow up Cangzhao's last bit of industry in Liangshan, so that Cangzhao will no longer have the slightest foundation for recovery and revitalization.

went to Liangshan to commend the award, mainly relying on Qincha's mouth to say it.

The Cangzhao family is not a fool, how can they be fooled with their mouths?

If you can't fool it, it will definitely be counterproductive, and it will only make Cangzhao further recognize the coldness and injustice of the imperial court, causing more resentment. I don't have any objections, so I'm afraid of it.

If you can't coax Cangzhao, the sin will be great.

In short, whoever is an angel discovers the secret of the rebellion in Liangshan will be designated to die there; I didn't find a problem, and it was not easy to explain to the court if I could come back alive.

In the heart of the imperial court, how could Liangshan be fine?

It has to be there if it has no problem.

There will always be people who are suspicious of the arrangement, and take the opportunity to say with certainty: Qin Cha and Liang Shan must have hooked up and made a private deal, and even betrayed the imperial court, and have taken refuge in Cangzhao, only to come back with a clear conscience and say that Liang Shan is fine.

You say good things about Liangshan, saying that the Cangzhao people are still only loyal to the country under such a heavy blow of family destruction and the suspicion and ruthlessness of the imperial court, which is not in line with the intention of the imperial court, including the emperor, to get rid of Cangzhao and the public opinion layout that is slowly unfolding to smear the Cangzhao family.

But, what do you say?

So what can be choreographed?

Saying that the Cangzhao family is unruly, has no court, and does not take the emperor in their eyes, implying that this family has anti-intentions?

That violated the taboo psychology of the emperor and his ministers who were extremely afraid that Cangzhao would rebel at any time.

That's not the kind of recital that the court likes to hear.

The imperial court's treatment of the Cangzhao family is extremely contradictory, if Cangzhao is not only a villain, but also not a villain, it is better to be a fool at the mercy of the imperial court.

However, you said that the Cangzhao family is stupid, and you can't see through the insidious intentions of the court's rabbit and dead dog, and that the Cangzhao people in Liangshan have no strength to rebel and have no intention of rebelling, they are very foolish, they are all eating and waiting for death, and they are all waiting for the day when the court turns its face and is easily destroyed, which is not in line with the truth.
