Section 385 Thick-skinned and black-hearted

Hei Yongkang escaped from death, let out a sigh of relief, and knew that he was begging for mercy just now, and his prestige was swept away, in order to divert everyone's attention and get rid of the embarrassment, he was very anxious, endured the severe pain in his hands, and knelt down in front of Zheng Juzhong and said with grief and indignation: "Fuzun, Cangzhao Xiao'er is arrogant and arrogant, and Cangzhao Diao Nu is also the only master in his eyes who does not know that there is a court, and there is no awe, all of them are lawless fanatics, and they dare to commit wanton murder in front of you, my lord." The whip of the despicable and shameless boy's sneak attack on the last general is actually a slap in the face of the Fuzun, and Cangzhao is provoking the ruling authority of the Fuzun and the imperial court over Cangzhou. ”

This shameless pull also freed Zheng Juzhong from embarrassment and shame.

Zheng Juzhong pretended to snort angrily, cursing Hei Yongkang in his heart for not being successful enough to fail, but he also understood that Hei Yongkang was right.

Cangzhao has been sitting in Cangzhou for a long time, but he is afraid that he will treat Cangzhou as his own land and will not obey the control of local officials at all.

Cangzhao's rampant must be completely defeated.

Otherwise, how can this official be happy as an official in Cangzhou? How can life go on comfortably?

It seems that the trick of cutting off the sea road of Cangzhao's business is the right one, and it must be implemented quickly.

The only advantage of Hei Yongkang's dog is that he is very obedient and hates Cangzhao very much, which is exactly what I need to complete the arduous political task assigned by the emperor.

The Cangzhou Army is the former Qingzhou Army, and it also needs Hei Yongkang, the former Qingzhou marshal, to command. If you want to clean up Cangzhao, you must rely on the army, and you have to use Hei Yongkang.

Zheng Juzhong thought through in a blink of an eye, gently asked Hei Yongkang to get up, pretended to be concerned and asked about the injury, and saw that Hei Yongkang was fine, but he hated Cangzhao even more, so he ordered in a low voice: "Order heavy troops immediately after you go back." First seize the wharf in Qingchi County, which is close to the capital city and easy to control, teach Cangzhao a profound lesson, and also test Cangzhao's reaction and defense ability. Then take the dock on the other side of Zhaozhuang. ”

Hei Yongkang was overjoyed and promised again and again.

On the way back to Fucheng, Zheng Juzhong carefully reflected on today's chance encounter.

He found that Zhao Gonglian, the notorious young brother, was not younger than the tall Zhao Gonglian, darker than Zhao Gonglian, but more robust and sunny, and immediately sat with a strong sense of strength, which made people involuntarily have a strong sense of strength and security at first sight, and his face was even more heroic, more heroic than Zhao Gonglian's appearance, which made people feel ashamed of themselves at first sight.

Unlike Zhao Gonglian, who exudes an elegant atmosphere, a generous, wise, and confident smile, the famous evil young man of the Cangzhao family also has a smile similar to his eldest brother when he smiles, but those eyes exude a wild and devouring wildness, overpowering all other expressions and temperaments.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and surrender, and my knees went weak and fell to the ground, this feeling was so strong, from the deepest part of my heart, it seemed to take root in my heart and grow endlessly.

Even if the official position is conceited like him Zheng Juzhong, he is not convinced, and he doesn't want to have this kind of inferiority complex and weakness, but he can't get rid of it.

Isn't this kid much younger than his eldest brother, only a teenager?

How did you grow so tall and mature?

Isn't it said that it's a waste, the shame of the Cangzhao family?

How can you be so majestic?

This kid simply has the posture of a peerless emperor who dominates the world, and he has the watch of the sky! really crushed all the self-confidence of the world's best men.

Zheng Juzhong really understood at this moment why the elders of the Cangzhao family were unprincipled and accustomed to Pang Junior, and understood why Zhao Gonglian, who has always talked about a glorious and fair image, ignored the principle of being a man and being an official, and blindly took a tough side to defend this younger brother.

Hei Yongkang and other generals who were bleeding and suffocated, silently walked with the carriage, also thinking about these things.

They realized that no matter how much they despised Zhao Yue for being arrogant and rude in their hearts, no matter how jealous and hateful they were for Zhao Gonglian in their hearts, they had to admit that the two brothers of the Cangzhao family were too good, but they were only afraid that their appearance and courage were unmatched in the world, and they were ashamed.

But the more this happens, the more they want to kill Zhao.

The better the opponent and the enemy, the more important it is to eradicate it as soon as possible.

They felt that this was natural and necessary, but they didn't know that in Cangzhao's eyes, they were not worthy of being opponents at all.

Fucheng is in the north of Cangzhou, and Zhaozhuang is in the southeast of Cangzhou, both in the same state, and the distance between the two places is actually very far.

When I returned to Fucheng, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zheng Juzhong originally planned to use his own identity and status, this trip condescended to go to Zhaozhuang in person, and he would definitely be able to suppress Cangzhao to bow his head honestly, as long as he pinched Cangzhao's maritime weakness, even if he bullied Cangzhao's majesty and encroached on Cangzhao's interests, Cangzhao could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, not only did he not dare to turn his face and be presumptuous, but he also had to do everything possible to keep him and put on a sumptuous banquet to entertain him.

Speaking of which, he's a bit of a glutton.

Because the name of Cangzhao Xianda is as famous as Cangzhao cuisine.

Back then, when Cangzhao's business was thriving, restaurants were opened almost all over the states of the Great Song Dynasty, so that people from all over the world knew what was the world's delicious and endless taste.

However, with the greed of the bureaucrats and the jealousy and exclusion of Zhao Gonglian, they tacitly united tacitly to suppress the difficult Zhao business, and these restaurants quickly disappeared from the country.

Cangzhao's stores in various places also seemed to disappear overnight.

Those shops and restaurants were all rented venues, and they were all rented to Cangzhao by the owners in order to curry favor with or fear Zhao Gonglian's status and power. Bureaucrats in various localities can easily succeed just by making things difficult for them on the business premises. Relatively, it is also easy for Cangzhao to withdraw.

What is admirable is that Cangzhao's management methods are indeed superhuman. The loyalty of the people of Zhao Zhuang to the main family is amazing.

There are so many Cangzhao chefs distributed all over the country, and no one can dig up one person. Whether you are a child of the royal family, or a high-ranking official, whether you spend a lot of money to promise the future of the official, or use the power to coerce and coerce, these chefs are ineffective.

Nowadays, even in Tokyo, Cangzhao Restaurant is long gone.

What disappeared were those rare food materials that Cangzhao didn't know where to go.

Even if you steal the cooking skills, it will be useless if you don't have the ingredients to use.

Only the Imperial Palace, the imperial chef has learned from Chef Cangzhao, the ingredients are specially supplied by Cangzhao, and the rare and attractive delicacy can be preserved, but the recipes are also very incomplete, and many things, the emperor can't eat if he wants to, because the pirates have cut off overseas trade routes, and there is nothing to do.

Outside, those delicacies are legendary. The power is as big as Cai Jingjing, not to mention that he is Zheng in the middle.

Zheng Juzhong went under the banner of taking care of both public and private interests, visited the old lady Zhao of the people, and talked about coastal defense affairs by the way.

Whether Cangzhao compromised to curry favor with him in order to protect his business interests, or out of officialdom etiquette, he should have served lunch to satisfy his appetite. As a result, he didn't even have to enter the city gate, and he happened to meet the master of Cangzhao on the road, but he didn't give any face at all.

Leave proudly and go hungry.

Zheng Juzhong was also extremely angry about this matter, and vowed to retaliate fiercely, use all means to overthrow Cangzhao, and trample the Cangzhao family under their feet to ravage them to the fullest, so as to get rid of this evil breath.

Hei Yongkang suddenly became diligent in his official duties, although he was hungry, he didn't even care about lunch, so he went to arrange the dispatch of troops.

This has to be reported to Shi Fu Lian in advance for instructions.

Shi Fu Lian is the genuine commander and the leader of the Cangzhou Army.

Hei Yongkang was transferred out of Qingzhou, the actual official was demoted, and his grade was also degraded, and he was nearly ten years older than Shi Fulian, but he had to be younger.

The life of Shi Fu practice was not easy and very depressed.

At the beginning, Zhao Gonglian took away the reorganized Cangzhou army and left him in Cangzhou, hoping that he could use the methods of training and governing the army to train and strengthen the army newly transferred to Cangzhou.

When Shi Fu Lian came to Cangzhou, he was adhering to the Shi family's opportunistic political survival principle, and followed the capable Zhao Gonglian mixed military exploits to improve his qualifications, how could he bother to endure hardships for military training, but at least he wanted to do something serious in his heart.

Otherwise, the army is unbearable, the Liao Kou will commit again, the border pass will not be protected, Cangzhou will be restless, he will not be able to explain to his superiors, and his career will be uneven.

Who knew that the bastards in the imperial court actually arranged the unusable military ruffians who had been dismissed from Qingzhou in Cangzhou, and transferred the former Qingzhou army marshal and unusable generals who Zhao Gonglian kicked out, in order to use these people's hatred of Cangzhao to deal with Cangzhao.

Shi Fulian's subordinates only had a few henchmen and private soldiers left behind, and the others were all the former Qingzhou army.

He bears the name of the marshal of Cangzhou, and he can't fiddle with the army at all.

Zheng Juzhong was ordered to know that Cangzhou was mainly to suppress Cangzhao.

Shi Fulian lamented in his heart that the emperor's family was ruthless and unjust, but as a child of a speculative bureaucrat, he only talked about real interests, and did not sympathize with Cangzhao, let alone help Zhao Gonglian, who led him to raise his grade easily, played a two-faced method, and was still opportunistic.

On the one hand, he actively took refuge in Zheng Juzhong and cooperated with the suppression of Cangzhao, and on the other hand, he secretly complained to Zhao Gonglian, saying that his subordinates were all Qingzhou military ruffians, and no one listened to him. Zheng Juzhong wanted to make it difficult for Cangzhao, Hei Yongkang and others fully cooperated, he wanted to stop him, but he was powerless.

The reason for doing this is that the founding nobles have been the actual house slave watchdogs of the emperor's family for generations, and they dare not go against the emperor's mind and will not harm their own interests, but he knows that Zhao Gonglian is powerful and the Cangzhao family has a solid prestige and foundation in Cangzhou.

He is not optimistic about the fight between Zheng Juzhong and Zhao Gonglian.

Zheng Juzhong came privately on the orders of the Holy Order, bent on using strong means to complete the task of weakening Cangzhao's economic power and local influence, but he may not be able to fight Wen Chenghou with this kind of Holy Order that cannot be on the table.

Zheng Juzhong is at best just a literati who blends in the gentle countryside of Tokyo City, relying on the emperor's favor to ascend to the throne, he is over fifty years old, even if he can mix with the high position of the internal privy envoy of Dongtai, how many years can he jump?

Now there are several strong forces in the Great Song Dynasty that are difficult to destroy, and there are wild wolves outside the Western Xia and the Jurchens who have suffered heavy losses and become more and more like mad dogs who want to drink blood from the Great Song Dynasty to make up for the double threat of the Great Liao, internal and external troubles, the situation is actually much more critical than before, the country is turbulent, it is when the troops are used, the position of the privy envoy of the commander-in-chief of the whole army is not so easy to sit.

How can a literati like Zheng Juzhong, who is not familiar with military bullshit, be able to play well in that position, just afraid that something will show his ugliness and step down.

Zhao Gonglian was born in the shadow of the sword, grew up in the dangerous and turbulent border, both civil and military and outstanding, but also honed the old and spicy political skills, becoming more and more mature, is the emperor's most important need to rely on the powerful favored minister, as the situation deteriorates, it will only be more and more valued, and so young, less than thirty years old, the future is immeasurable.

According to the principle of political speculation, Shi Fulian naturally wanted to maintain contact with Wen Chenghou and maintain a sense of profit in the future.

He is not a rootless person like Hei Yongkang who can only look for thighs to hug everywhere.

His family in Tokyo is his political foundation and career security.

As long as the family is loyal to the emperor and useful to the emperor, no one can cut off his official career, and his achievements are only the difference between the size of the official position and power.

He doesn't need to really turn to anyone, he has the qualifications to play speculation.

Zheng Juzhong is not a fool, he is very clear about the nature and style of the founding nobles, he warmly accepts Shi Fu Lian on the surface, and he does not trust it at all in his heart.

Zheng Juzhong also knew that Cangzhou was a dangerous border area facing Liao invaders from time to time, and he needed to pay attention to border security.

When Zhao Gonglian was there, Cangzhou was as strong as an iron bucket.

If Cangzhou is invaded and plundered, scolded by the people, and embarrassed, it will not be good if it cannot ensure the prosperity, tranquility and stable production of the jurisdiction, and the task of paying taxes cannot be completed, so that the emperor can see that he is incompetent.

Zheng Juzhong believes in Hei Yongkang's ability to govern the army and defend the border. The ironclad facts of the Cheongju tragedy have proven its incompetence.

He felt that Shi Fulian was always mixed up with Zhao Gonglian, how could he learn some real skills from Wen Chenghou to govern the army and guard the border, and in addition, he couldn't really hang up the dignified Cangzhou army marshal, so that Shi Fulian resented hostility in his heart, and there was more trouble, so he arranged Shi Fulian to train the army and specialize in managing the border defense, and the most important responsibility of the border army should naturally be taken up by the border army marshal.

Anyway, the official characters have two mouths, and it is reasonable to say black and white.

Shi Fu Lianzheng didn't want to participate in the fight for Zhao completely, so he completely offended Zhao Gonglian and had no way out, so he was happy to accept the arrangement.

Anyway, with his foundation, Hei Yongkang and the others can't really threaten his position, and the real power is slowly seized in his hands, and the benefits of the smuggling of the Kacang Zhao business road and the army should be shared with him.

Worry less and work less, there is no shortage of benefits, he just stood aside and watched the excitement of the two strong battles, waiting for the results to come out and then continue to speculate and continue to make easy profits.

Hei Yongkang faked the model and asked Shi Fulian to send troops to help defend Cangzhao Wharf.

Shi Fulian knew Zheng Juzhong's intentions like a mirror in his heart, and he also knew that Hei Yongkang and the others relied on Zheng Juzhong's trust and control and influence over his old subordinates at this time to not take him as a marshal at all, but pretended to be confused, and only said: "Since it is the order of the prefect, General Hei will do it." I'll bother you with the specific arrangement. In this matter, you can cooperate with the prefect, and you don't have to ask me again. ”

Hei Yongkang said: "The last general, thank you for your trust and reuse. ”

When he shook his hand and left, he thought disdainfully in his heart: Lao Tzu is the first person in the army. Count you as a kid. Otherwise, this official will definitely embarrass you and lose face.

Then I couldn't help but sigh with envy.

"The one next door, after the founding of the country, was born with a golden key, born with a good life, as if he was rich and rich, not bullshit, no hardship, no risk, shake his hands and be an uncle, and he is still a high-ranking official at a young age.

And a capable person like me can only rely on bloody battles to get ahead, rely on cheeky gifts everywhere to find a backer to get a throne, gritted his teeth and bled to give away a lot of money and wealth that he finally got in his hands in order to keep the future of power, this comparison is really sad. (To be continued.) )
