Chapter 165: The Sword Goes Sideways
The sword went sideways, these four words deeply stimulated Zhao Gou, and the young man pondered for a moment and said, "Please teach me, teacher." β
Liu Zhenglong wanted Zhao Gou's attitude, he did not answer directly how to go off the rails, but laughed at himself, "I was born in a wealthy family, and I became the king of the mountain by mistake, but I am not willing to become fate like this, I want to be a wife and a son, and I want to be a marquis and a prime minister." In this Great Song Dynasty, where scholars and doctors share the world, I can only mix one Jinshi background, but in the officialdom, Jinshi was born step by step, and I don't know that the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue will be able to realize the dream of being a wife and a son. So, I chose to be a civil official, chose to marry the daughter of the Pan family, while making money and accumulating wealth that rivaled the country, I opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and realized my dream of being a wife and a son early. However, it is far from enough to want to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, at least it is impossible to follow King Yun, so I bet on you, only if you soar into the sky, I can really be a marquis and worship the prime minister. β
is already the prince of Qinling County, the so-called feudal marquis has long been realized, as for the worship of the prime minister, it is just a lack of age and qualifications, which is generally to calm down and boil the qualifications, and make a fool of life, but Liu Zhenglong is still on the sword sideways, betting on the most inconspicuous Kang Wang Zhao Gou. This seemingly simple life trajectory has already told Zhao Gou what it means to be a sword to go sideways, of course, this is just a general trend, as for how to go, that's a later story.
Zhao Gou listened with relish, he slowly savored every word Liu Zhenglong said, and did not dare to interject, hoping to finally hear the most complete sword going sideways.
Liu Zhenglong continued, "Above the court, the crown prince and the king of Yun are fighting, and it has nothing to do with you, what you have to do is to familiarize yourself with government affairs as soon as possible, improve your ability, and let the officials see your ability to take charge alone." After all, in addition to passing on the throne, there is also the selection of talents. King Yun is just a relatively high level of literary cultivation, but he is still far from governing the country. The official family itself is a very high literary accomplishment, and the governance of the country is a mess, so once the crown prince falls, the most suitable person to ascend the throne is not King Yun, who can only make a fuss, but a virtuous prince who is literary and martial, and stable and stable in the country. You've already completed the first step in getting out of the capital, and the next step is to see how you take control of Xijing. β
At this time, Zhao Gou was somewhat enlightened, and he said thoughtfully, "Xijing is a small imperial court, the epitome of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you can govern Xijing well, then you can also govern the country well in the future, is this the truth?" β
"That's right."
"However, Xiao Wang has been in Xijing for a few months, and none of the big and small officials have come to visit, I am a lonely person, how can I govern Xijing?"
When he said this, Zhao Gou looked very depressed, he was not incompetent, nor did he have no dreams, but he couldn't find the doorway, it was like hitting the air, and he couldn't make it out.
Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "Only the Son of Heaven can claim to be alone. In the official family in Miyagi, if there is no outside political hall, there are no officials, and there are no officials, is it exactly the same as you are now. You just know that the big and small officials didn't come to see you, so do you know why they don't want to see you? β
"My father can reign over the world in the palace, that's because he has imperial power, and whoever disobeys will be cleaned up. But as for me, I have neither power nor soldiers, who will listen to me? β
Liu Zhenglong was amused, he drank the wine in the wine glass and said with a smile: "Then the officials don't listen to you, who will they listen to?" β
"Huang Qianshan, he is the prefect of Zhengsanpin sent by the imperial court, on behalf of the imperial court, officials large and small in Xijing are afraid of him."
"Then can I understand it this way, those officials don't listen to you, because Huang Qianshan is there, so if he is not in Xijing, can you straighten out the relationship here and govern Xijing well?"
"I can." This sentence is a sentence that Zhao Gou said, and he said categorically, "Kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, if Huang Qianshan is taken away, other officials will be afraid of me, then I will not be disobedient to me, and I will definitely be able to govern Xijing well." β
"Lord Wang, what you think is too simple, take away Huang Qianshan, then what if there is another Hong Qianshan and Lan Qianshan, can you still get them all away?"
Zhao Gou really didn't think about this question, and was dumbfounded by Liu Zhenglong's question, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Liu Zhenglong continued, "This group of officials doesn't visit you, there must be Huang Qianshan's factor, and I can help you get him away." But if you want to truly control the entire Xijing, you still need to take two steps, the first step is to have people close to you by your side, so that you will not be constrained by others, and the second step is that you must establish your own prestige, so that officials big and small are obedient to you, willing to work hard for you, and believe that you have a future with you. Huang Qianshan's problem, I will help you solve it, and the new prefect will also cooperate with you, as for whether you can stand firm, it depends on your own creation, and I can only support you to this point. Whether it is a dragon or a worm depends on creation. β
Originally, Liu Zhenglong still had a lot to talk to Zhao Gou, but seeing that this young man hadn't grown up yet, he didn't want to say so much, and finally he said, "In the next few days, I will find a way to deal with Huang Qianshan, and let the officials of Xijing know that there is only one result of disobeying your King Kang, that is, the potatoes move and get out." Army, I'll help you catch it, you don't have to worry about this, as for government affairs, it's still up to you, I'll leave you a staff member, you can ask more questions if you have any questions. β
Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, Liu Zhenglong remembered this sentence. He wants to support King Kang Zhao Gou, but he will definitely not unjustly die like Yue Fei in Fengbo Pavilion and seize the military power, if this guy wants to do anything after he ascends the throne in the future, then he doesn't mind having a yellow robe.
Keeping a person like Zhao Ding by Zhao Gou's side can prevent Qin Hui and his ilk from harming the Great Song Dynasty in the future. Of course, Liu Zhenglong also did this to train Zhao Ding, which is definitely a generation of good looks, and it is not suitable to stay in the army.
Zhao Gou is grateful to Liu Zhenglong, he doesn't know how to reciprocate, so he can only bury it in his heart.
Liu Zhenglong said, "There are many ways to get rid of Huang Qianshan, but there is one thing that must be had, that is, because he offended your King Kang, he was driven away, otherwise it would be meaningless to drive him away." I'll figure out a way, what you need to do is to find a day to pick up the wind and dust for the lower officials, invite all the officials, remember not to pull, especially Huang Qianshan, it's best for you to put down your body and visit in person. This link is crucial, don't mess it up. β
Zhao Gou didn't know why he wanted to put down his body to ask Huang Qianshan for a dignified prince, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only do this, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart that if he became the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future, he would definitely kill Huang Qianshan's entire family.
Liu Zhenglong is not in the mood to pay attention to what Zhao Gou's mood is, what he has to do is to quickly solve the scourge of Huang Qianshan, this is the master of Zheng Sanpin, he must not use the inferior means of assassination, he must create ironclad evidence, so that this guy can't turn over, only in this way can he successfully let Zhi Yanzhi take over, otherwise he can only find himself bored.
Dealing with Huang Qianshan, this is not a trivial matter, Liu Zhenglong can't decide on his own that this will affect many things in the court, this guy sent someone to fly the pigeon to the Pan family and the Cao family as soon as possible, and also talked to Liang Shicheng in advance, after all, among the important ministers in the court, Liang Shicheng can still be used, as for Cai Jing, if he cooperates with this old fox, there is no problem in winning Huang Qianshan, but the title of Luoyang prefect will not fall on the head of Zheyan.
After Liang Shicheng read Liu Zhenglong's flying pigeon biography, he thought in his heart, what is this young man going to do, he actually touched the Luoyang prefect of Zhengsanpin, don't you know that this position needs to be approved by the government hall and reported to the official family for approval?
The reason why Liang Shicheng was called a hidden phase is not only because he leans towards the government and the opposition, and from time to time he imitates the thin gold body of the official family to wear the edict, but also because he sees far. After the birth of the imperial grandson, Liang Shicheng knew that the crown prince would definitely deal with himself when he ascended the throne in the future, but the old man also knew that King Yun would not be able to achieve a big deal in the end, so it can be said that the future became blurred.
Could it be? Liang Shicheng quickly reacted, that is, His Royal Highness King Kang was in Luoyang, Xijing, of course, he also knew that the Xijing officials led by Huang Qianshan did not take this unfavored prince seriously at all, Liu Zhenglong insisted on moving Huang Qianshan, and there was only one reason to explain, that is, he bet on King Kang.
Liang Shicheng couldn't sit still, he walked around the room, scrutinizing repeatedly, and felt that although Liu Zhenglong was a bit risky to do this, he was rich and dangerous, maybe this protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven smelled something different.
The soldiers behind Liu Zhenglong, the Pan family and the Gao family, are definitely not fighting alone, and they will not blindly press the treasure on King Kang. After making up his mind, Liang Shicheng sent someone to call his nephew Liang Fang over.
Liang Fang has been proud of the spring breeze recently, although he did not take the position of the commander of the Imperial City Division, but the real power is on par with the commander of the capital Liang Fangping. Of course, there is not only the operation of his uncle Liang Shicheng, but also the beautiful handling of several major cases.
Liang Shicheng didn't plan to go around in circles in the face of Liang Fang, he said straight to the point, "You have Huang Qianshan's black material in your hand!" β
"Yes, yes, not much." Liang Fang thought that his uncle blamed him for collecting Huang Qianshan's black materials, so he spoke very carefully.
"It's not much, just get more, and then let Cai Kun and Liao San send them to Luoyang as quickly as possible and hand them over to Liu Zhenglong, those two guys are Liu Zhenglong's old subordinates and should have been promoted a long time ago, let the two stay in Luoyang this time."
Liang Shicheng generally didn't say much to Liang Fang, he waved his hand and motioned for the other party to go down.
Liang Fang didn't react at first, but he quickly understood what was going on, and while he asked people to sort out Huang Qianshan's black materials, he ran and called Cai Kun and Kuang Zhu over.
Cai Kun and Kuang Zhu can only be said to have mixed well in the past two years, but they are not too good, but the two are still relatively upright and unwilling to follow crooked ways.
Liang Fang saw that the two of them were coming, so he smiled and said, "I asked you to follow Lord Liu at the beginning, but then you didn't want to join the army, so you had to stay in the Imperial City Division. β
No matter how much he didn't have a head, he could also reflect the meaning of staying in Luoyang, and the two hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, don't say too much, this time to Luoyang, the main thing is to do one thing for Lord Liu, what is the specific situation, you will know that the official will no longer ask when you arrive in Luoyang, the local inspectors are under your command, do things beautifully, the last one will stay in Luoyang as a commander, one will enter King Kang's mansion, the matter is man-made, you can do it yourself. Let's start with the three hundred yuan of the account expenditure. β
When the time comes, Cai Kun and Kuang Zhu are very happy, of course, the most important thing is to be able to return to the boss to do things, as for being promoted and making a fortune, it is only a matter of time.
Liu Zhenglong was very happy about the arrival of Kuang Zhu and Cai Kun, and when he saw the two of them, he knew that it was right to put the treasure on Liang Shicheng, and it seemed that this hidden appearance also saw a potential crisis.
After Cai Kun saluted, he directly handed over the materials to Liu Zhenglong, it was obvious that the materials and evidence, and the testimony of the witnesses were all there, and it was impossible to verify whether they were true or false. Although these are not enough to make Huang Qianshan's head fall to the ground, it is definitely more than enough to transfer it away.
It's time to act, Liu Zhenglong said to Cai Kun and Kuang Zhu, "You two have a good rest first, let my righteous son treat the two of you well, and when the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward, okay, you go down." β
Now that the materials are in hand, Liu Zhenglong sent Shi Yong to send them to King Kang, and before leaving, he said to Shi Yong, "You strive to leave a good impression on King Kang, so that he can find a way to leave you in King Kang's mansion, where is the place where you can show your talents." β
"My lord, are you driving me away?"
"Silly boy, I think too much, this temple is too small, there are too many people eating below, and there are not enough military merits to support your promotion. Even if you work under King Kang, then you are still my subordinate, and I will have the opportunity to transfer you back in the future. "Liu Zhenglong still takes a fancy to the more stable Shi Yong, but this guy is not suitable for the battlefield, if he is under King Kang, there will be more room for promotion.
Sure enough, King Kang attaches great importance to the material, and he didn't expect that Liu Zhenglong would complete this matter in just a few days. At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the world with Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin also had the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Xu Maogong and others, but unfortunately there is only one cooperative relationship around him now, and Liu Zhenglong can not be reused.
It's better than nothing, when the son of Qin was the son of Chu De Lu Buwei and finally ascended to the throne of the king of Qin, Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, is now ambitious, and he firmly believes that as long as he operates properly, everything is possible.
Shi Yong saw King Kang Zhao Gou looking at the material in a daze, so he whispered, "Your Highness, these are all done by Lord Liu, but after all, he can't stay in Xijing all the time, and there are many things that you still need to do by yourself." Now Lord Liu's subordinates are like clouds, and there are many capable people. What to do to be able to go smoothly, you also need to have the following people to do things, you can't do everything yourself! β
Yes, no matter how great the ability, no matter how many ideas, no matter how many strategies, someone needs to execute it! This is the biggest shortcoming of King Kang Zhao Gou, because there is no one available in the concubine's clan, coupled with the fact that she has fallen out of favor for many years, she is not valued at all in the court, how can anyone bet on coming to defect in this case?
The most terrible thing is that King Kang Zhao Gou can't give the following people high-ranking officials Houlu at all, great prospects, in this case, there are people who are strange, this is fundamentally different from the crown prince and King Yun, there are many important ministers in the court behind the people to bet on support, and they can promise to the people who come to defect to the high-ranking officials Houlu, and have a great future.
Seeing that this young man said that he was in his heart, King Kang Zhao Gou began to look at the mature and stable young man in front of him, and he quickly understood the content in the other party's eyes, so he said with a smile, "What do you think is the most lacking thing in Xijing's left-behind mansion now?" β
"Deterrence, deterrence." Shi Yong said very boldly, "When Lord Liu first arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, the local officials did not take it seriously, and there was even a bad incident of Lord Liu being assassinated. Lord Liu dealt with the case of the Western Xia traitor with an iron fist, Du Chong, the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, was transferred, and although the new prefect Wang Boyan was not convinced by Lord Liu, he still showed full respect on the surface. Does Your Highness know why? β
"Please advise."
"Because Lord Liu has soldiers in his hands, he can decide the fate of many people. For example, if Huang Qianshan is ready to be brought down this time, if he goes through normal channels, I am afraid that I don't know how many twists and turns it will take and how many benefits will be sacrificed to be realized. However, Lord Liu used the Imperial City Division, and it was quickly realized, and the next step was to make this case an iron case, and let Huang Qianshan come to beg the prince to transfer him away. β
"However, how can a soldier, the important weapon of the country, be used for personal use?" In the cognitive world of King Kang Zhao Gou, the army belongs to the imperial court, and without the order of the Privy Council, it cannot be called privately.
Shi Yong showed a treacherous smile on his face, and he said, "It is also the army that shocks the world, and there are no soldiers in your hands, so what you say has no weight." In the future, if the prince wants to gain a foothold in Xijing, then he must have enough deterrent power for the officials below, so that the people below can obey you, and you can display your ambitions. Back then, if Tang Taizong Li Shimin had no soldiers in his hands, how could the Xuanwumen change come, and how could he pull the prince Li Jiancheng off the horse. If Emperor Li Longji of Tang Ming had no soldiers in his hands, he would not be able to be the emperor. Taizu back then"
"Say no more." King Kang Zhao Gou didn't know about these things, but Chen Qiao's mutiny and yellow robe became a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Great Song Emperor, and he had extremely strict control over the army. Otherwise, King Kang and Zhao Gou would not have been suppressed by the Xijing officials and were powerless to fight back.
Shi Yong knew that when it came to King Kang's Zhao Gou's heart, he knelt on the ground and said, "There are two kinds of soldiers, one is the existence of deterrence, that is, you must have loyal generals under you, willing to serve you, and the other is to eradicate the existence of dissidents, this is your private soldier, to fulfill your heart's wish for you." Now there are dead soldiers in the families of the rich officials, although the number is not much, but it is enough to succeed. β
It takes money to raise the dead, and it can't see the light, so you can only do dark and treacherous things. However, if you want to achieve great things, you must learn from Li Shimin, not Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng is the crown prince and is supported by the courtiers, while King Kang Zhao Gou is just an unfavored prince, a prince who is even looked down upon by local officials.
"So what kind of existence are you willing to be?" Zhao Gou still took this step after all, he didn't want to be His Royal Highness King Kang, who was looked down upon by the magistrates, and if he wanted to become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme who scolded Fang Xuan and looked down on the country, this step must go out and not turn back.
"Remove obstacles for the prince, kill gods when you meet gods, and kill demons when you meet demons." Shi Yong's heart is much more ruthless than Zhao Gou, he knows that his qualifications are very slow to be promoted in the army, and it is difficult to play a role, after all, King Kang has no weight, and it is impossible for him to hold an important position at all, so he will live up to Lord Liu's expectations of himself.
"However, the lonely king has always been poor and cannot afford to support the dead." Zhao Gou, who was shy in his pocket, didn't want to say this, but he didn't say it with his mouth, it took a lot of money to achieve it.
Shi Yong didn't expect Zhao Gou to say this, a dignified prince didn't even have the ability to accumulate wealth, and he still talked about big things, he pondered for a moment and said, "Millions of giants, Lord Liu can, tens of millions of giants, it's not impossible." β
I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless one, he actually asked people for a million, after all, King Kang Zhao Gou was still young and couldn't erase it, he pondered for a moment and said, "This matter, you go and do it, can you complete it?" β
"We will not fail in our mission."
"Okay, in the future, this aspect will be handed over to you, I hope not to disappoint this king, this time for Huang Qianshan, it is best for you to deal with it, so don't bother Lord Liu."
After Shi Yong came back, he reported directly to Liu Zhenglong.
Liu Zhenglong was very satisfied with Shi Yong's performance, he said with a smile, "It's done well, but now there is no one in King Kang's hands to use, so he will reuse you, as long as there is a suitable candidate, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold, and if you don't get back to life, do you know what to do?" β
"Please give me advice."
"If you want to be the king of the mountain, you must learn to get rid of potential threats. If King Kang doesn't trust you, he can't help but reuse you, and he can't leave you until he ascends to the great treasure. Liu Zhenglong said with a smile, "Shi Yong, don't bury your nickname of General Shi, from today onwards, serve King Kang wholeheartedly, before King Kang ascends to the throne, you have only one master, that is King Kang, you want to cut off the connection with this side, if there is a trace of contact, I will destroy your whole family." β
It seemed to be smiling, but in fact, Shi Yong saw a thick killing intention, and he also knew what Lord Liu meant, so he kowtowed and swore on the spot.
Liu Zhenglong said, "Okay, get up, I believe you did this, you won't disappoint the official, you discuss it with Cai Kun to see how to set it up, as for how much money is needed, you can just ask Xiaojiu directly, the biggest money shop in Luoyang is for King Kang, and there is no cap." You just need to set it up according to your own ideas, and you don't have to think about funding. β
