In ancient times, scholars were taught the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and counting gentlemen, and many scholars would work hard twice. Like Liangshan heroes Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian and other literati can be martial. The copper chain used by Wu is quite good, and it is no problem to fight three or two thieves.

The scholar Wang Xiaodi became an official. He wanted to be a big official.

But the Song Dynasty is the heyday of feudal economy and culture in history, and it is also the period when traitors come out in large numbers, traitors must have the ability to crush loyal ministers to get ahead, not to mention knowledge, many are calligraphers and painters and other super talents, not only catering to the preferences of Emperor Zhao Ji, but also enjoying a good reputation in the cultural circles, and all of them are smart and good-looking, plus they are slapping horses and beards and black belly and background, and they are very good at pretending to be loyal to the ministers, patriotic and upright, bright and righteous. Compared with these people, Wang Xiaodi's strength gap in the officialdom is too big to withstand, and the petty traitors of the same generation are full of talents, and he can count more than ten or twenty without opening his mouth, and the competition is too fierce, and it is difficult for him to quickly ascend to the position.

Wang Xiaodi saw that no matter how shameless he was to take refuge in the big man and actively be a voice dog, it was hopeless to take off, and he turned his face to see that Zhao Gonglian was born in a clay-legged commoner, young but rising to the top, and his future was immeasurable among young officials, his envy and jealousy were like boiling molten steel, hateful and useless, he could only use his brain to ponder Zhao Gonglian's development law, and one day he suddenly opened his mind.

He felt that Zhao Gonglian was following the path of being a flattering and favored minister at a young age, and the foundation of his seniority had a long way to quickly turn into a minister. The essence is to put it bluntly, it is to meet the emperor's favor wholeheartedly, and only hug the emperor's thighs, which is deeply loved and relied on by the emperor.

"The words of the people become the Hou, the Wen can Anbang, the martial arts can set the country, the civil and military are both complete. I, Wang Xiaodi, am also both civil and military, no worse than him. ”

Zhao Gonglian did the way of the strong northern army to balance the western army and meet the emperor's wishes, and won the hearts of the king. Affordable. Wang Xiaodi felt that he was a close minister, and he had a good impression in the eyes of the emperor. There are big figures such as Zhang Bangchang who take care of the DPRK and China, and they also have a foundation. You can do the same.

Therefore, he resolutely resigned from the post of Weiwei Shaoqing (the second-in-command on which the emperor depended), and impassionedly expressed to the emperor that he was willing to give up the comfortable life in the capital and go to the border to reorganize the army and insult the enemy to repay the king's kindness.

In this regard, Zhang Bangchang and other traitorous ministers also greatly supported and praised it.

Can't let Zhao Gonglian specialize in beauty. Seeing that Zhao Gonglian is becoming more and more difficult to restrict, he must think of weakening his role in the country and reducing the emperor's dependence on him, so as to curb Zhao Gonglian's rise in his career, so as to have a chance to defeat Cangzhao. This is one of them.

Second, the emperor was kept in the dark, feeling that the overall situation of the world was still prosperous and peaceful. He was the Emperor of Anle. The traitors intercepted and concealed the following thieves' reports, and their hearts were clear, thieves in the Great Song Dynasty were everywhere, the society was in turmoil, and there were signs of instability in the country. Of course, they don't think that the Great Song Dynasty is going to be finished, but they feel that at this time, it is better to catch the military power that can be directly called, and strengthen the local forces by the way.

Wang Xiaodi's choice is in line with the overall interests of their gang.

Zhao Ji watched the folds, and the first time he felt that Wang Xiaodi's brain was rusty.

This person does not sit in the position of the Son of Heaven's close minister, and the good life of the capital is not enough. If you want to go to the north to eat sand, do you want to compare with Zhao Qing?

No matter what others say about Zhao Gonglian, no matter how vigilant the Cangzhao family is in his heart, in Zhao Ji's heart. Zhao Gonglian is indeed capable, and he is an absolute outstanding person in history who is suitable for politics, and his ability and potential are high. The Manchu Dynasty was unrivaled in civil and military affairs.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, which official can have a global view as a teenager like Zhao Qing and be the emperor's right-hand man? What official can govern a county in less than 20 years and prosper with political integrity? Who can govern a state's important land in their twenties to a military and political strength? Who can guard the border at less than thirty years old. Let the arrogant, barbaric and fierce Liao army iron cavalry dare not commit a border?

Zhao Qingwen can be my bodyguard, and this Wang Xiaodi's honor guard is good for me. is also smart and capable, but can you compare with Zhao Gonglian? That's a political genius that doesn't come out of the world. Only I, the emperor who has been reincarnated as an immortal, have the blessing to have it.

laughed at Wang Xiaodi in his heart, Zhao Ji thought about it again, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

As an official, who doesn't want to be a Beijing official? How many are willing to give up comfort and take the initiative to apply to endure hardships and defend the border for me?

Wang Qing's loyalty alone should be praised and affirmed. You can't chill his loyalty.

So it was put as the prefect of the sub-border with a relatively treacherous environment.

I hope that Wang Xiaodi can really rectify a strong army there, and he will also make a difference in political performance.

Zhao Ji hopes that there are young and strong officials who can suppress Zhao Gonglian's limelight, and indirectly knock Zhao Gonglian not to get carried away.

Zheng Juzhong (1059-1123) was the son-in-law of the prime minister Wang Qi, and was deeply favored by the concubine as a brother after being promoted to a scholar. In the third year of Zhenghe (1113) to the seventh year of history, he visited the Privy Council, Dazai, and even conferred the titles of Chongguo Gong, Su Guo Gong, and Yan Guo Gong.

In the world where Zhao Yue struggled to incite his wings, the environment of the Great Song Dynasty changed, and many things also shifted, even Gao Yu's career was not as fast as in history, and Zheng Juzhong's mistakes were not as good as in history, but the old guy's level was already very high, and when he was the prefect of Cangzhou, even if he was also the defense envoy of Gaoyang Guanlu, it was absolutely low. What's more, I didn't have both.

Zhao Ji put his playmate and favorite minister Zheng Juzhong in Cangzhou, on the one hand, Zheng Juzhong wanted to get rich in his heart and strongly demanded it, on the other hand, on the surface, it was to strengthen the governance of Cangzhou, increase taxes, strengthen the border strength, and secretly have the deep meaning of strengthening monitoring and controlling the Cangzhao family.

Zhao Ji trusts Zhao Gonglian more, and now he is more dependent, but he definitely trusts Zheng Juzhong.

With absolute henchmen controlling the family led by the courtiers of the Shaozhuang faction who are too capable and influential, Zhao Ji can enjoy himself with peace of mind.

Zheng Juzhong dared to unscrupulously invoke the neck of the army and Zhao Shang with the intention of extortion and blackmail for huge personal gains, and it was fundamentally because the emperor supported him behind his back.

As the emperor's confidant, Zheng Juzhong could clearly guess that the emperor also had the intention of suppressing and suppressing Cangzhao's commerce in his heart.

A family being rich is not a problem. The commerce of the Great Song Dynasty is unprecedentedly developed, with an annual tax revenue of hundreds of millions, not to mention the dignitaries and nobles who have various privileges and conveniences, and even the rich people abound. Cangzhao Business is just doing a particularly prominent job.

But Zhao Gonglian has become an important person who holds important power in the army, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how rich the family is, this will not work.

The powerful family forces are on the border, and they can deal with Zhao Gonglian from afar, and there are no hostages in the capital, which is simply a force and opportunity for rebellion. Zhao Ji couldn't control the generals of the Western Army caused by history, but he absolutely did not allow such an uncontrollable military force to appear again. (To be continued.) )
