The entire Ying Tianfu knew Xu Zizhen, and they all knew that he was the first person in front of King Kang, and when he came to the door, someone led him in without any notice.

Zhao Gou is reviewing the documents in the study, and there are rules for the yamen to open the court to accept the case, and today is the idle period, which just gives Xu Zizhen the opportunity to have a good chat with Zhao Gou.

"Zizhen, why are you here? It just so happens that I have something to look for you as well. Zhao Gou stood up as soon as he saw him come in.

Xu Zizhen was about to take Lin Chaoying in, but found that Zhao Gou's expression was a little wrong, as if he was a little annoyed, a little sad, and a little unwilling, he was stunned, and immediately changed his mind to send Lin Chaoying out, and then went into the house and closed the door.

"Seventh Master, what's wrong?"

Zhao Gou was silent for a moment and said, "The fifth child went to Zhending. ”

"Old five?" Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment before he understood, Zhao Gou was talking about King Jing Zhao Qi, he sneered and said, "You have to be a grandson if you don't do it, it's really cheap." ”

He didn't have anything to explain, but everyone knew Zhao Qi's intentions, the Jin soldiers were fierce, and they saw that they were approaching Bianjing, and they could break through the city at any time, Zhao Qi is really sure that he is not going to make peace with Zhao Huan, but his peace talks are different from Zhao Huan's peace talks, he must be willing to lower his status in order to seek protection from the Jin people, and in the future, after Bianjing is broken, he can borrow the hands of the Jin people to squeeze out Zhao Huan and become the next emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou naturally understood Zhao Qi's thoughts, so he hated it, he was also a descendant of the Zhao family, but he didn't have any blood and backbone, which made him even ashamed of his surname Zhao.

"Zizhen, what I want to talk to you about is another thing." After calming down for a while, Zhao Gou changed the topic and asked, "Did the little princess of Tubo and the envoys of Western Xia, Western Liao, and Dali go to Bianjing to face the saint?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled, it was not strange that Zhao Gou knew about this so quickly, but obviously he didn't know the real intention here, he didn't want to explain it for the time being, so he just responded.

Zhao Gou suddenly said excitedly: "Then you also hurry up to enter the Beijing Face Saint, now the fifth child goes to meet the Jin people to discuss, if it can really be negotiated, then the role of Liang Shicheng in the eyes of the Emperor will become lower, and it is a good time to take down this old thief." ”

Of course Xu Zizhen has this plan, Zhao Gou didn't say that he had already gone to Bianjing, the old eunuch hid behind his back and instructed others to put cold arrows on him, and I don't know how many patriots and loyal generals have been killed for so many years, and it is not enough to be angry if he is not killed.

He nodded, also changed the topic, and suddenly asked: "Seventh Master, you are now the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, does that mean that all the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are sent by you?" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned by his leapfrog thinking: "This ...... Naturally, it is. ”

"That's good." Xu Zizhen slapped his face, "In that case, I want to ask you something, which place can you hold in those prefectures near the mouth of the Yangtze River?" I mean the guards there are your henchmen, absolutely under your command? ”

Zhao Gou's brows furrowed, and he muttered, "It's close to the mouth of the sea...... I've only been the generalissimo for a few days, and you know what henchmen are. However, if it is not a big problem to arrange a guard, but it cannot be the capital of all walks of life, Zizhen, what do you mean by this? ”

Xu Zizhen's spirits perked up: "It's okay if it's not a house, what place can I arrange?" ”

Zhao thought for a while and said: "Recently, the Yangzhou Shou General was dismissed for corruption and fraud, and the Holy Lord now believes in me very much, and it should not be a problem to arrange for someone to replace the past." ”

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, he had long heard that the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, and what kind of waist wrapped 30,000 cranes to ride down to Yangzhou, this is a good place, and Yangzhou is on the Yangtze River, and it is not too far from here to enter the sea, if the guard will be Zhao Gou's henchman, his plan will be able to have a full security guarantee in the future.

"Okay, okay, Seventh Master, hurry up, find a trustworthy person to guard there, I will be of great use in the future."

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, and he didn't know when he began to say to Xu Zizhen that these two words in the future became extremely sensitive, but Xu Zizhen didn't say it thoroughly every time, and he didn't bother to ask more, he only knew that no matter what Xu Zizhen did, as long as these two words were involved, it would always be beneficial to him.

He is a smart man, and he has a plan in his brain, and said with a smile: "I don't ask you what you are for, but I don't bother the two masters, since you are useful, then this Yangzhou guard will be recommended by you." ”

"I recommend?" Xu Zizhen was stunned, Zhao Gou's trust in him is getting higher and higher, how important is the general of a state, he actually left it to himself, but he hesitated while being grateful, he didn't know many generals at all, who the hell should he recommend? Han Shizhong? Lao Tzu still expects him to lead the Northern Expedition in the future, and it is not possible to throw Yangzhou so far; Wu Jue? This is a good general with both wisdom and bravery, but the legend says that he is guarding Sichuan, if he changes places, will it change the trajectory of history? It's risky.

Suddenly, a person appeared in his head, and he suddenly had a plan.

"Okay, I recommend a person, the former Lanzhou guard general Meng Du, this person is not a fierce general, but he is very calm, quite suitable."

Zhao Gou agreed: "Okay, I will repair the book and report it to the Privy Council and summon him to take up his post." ”

He didn't know Meng Du, but he heard Wen Chengyan say that when he was in Lanzhou, Wen and Meng cooperated tacitly with one article and one martial arts, and they guarded Lanzhou, which was short of soldiers and major generals, for so long, and he was a rare talent, not to mention that now it is Xu Zizhen who speaks, so naturally there is no reason not to agree.

"Zizhen, you ...... Are you planning to do something in Yangzhou? Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment but asked.

The corners of Xu Zizhen's mouth raised, and he chuckled: "Seventh Master, you are so smart, can you guess it?" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, touching his chin and thinking back to what Xu Zizhen had just said.

The Yangtze River, the estuary, the guard, the henchman......

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Water army? ”

Xu Zizhen smiled, clapped his hands and praised: "The seventh master is worthy of being the seventh master, just guess, but a little off, because what I want is not a water army, but ...... Navy. ”

"Navy? You...... You! Zhao Gou was dumbfounded, speechless for a long time, Xu Zizhen wants to build a naval army is reasonable, in the future, maybe the Jin people will continue to go south, the naval army will always be useful, but what is the use of this navy? Could it be that it is impossible to attack their hometown from behind the Jin people by sea?

Xu Zizhen didn't need to guess to know what Zhao Gou was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, I have a way to let the boat sail to Bohai Bay, but you put this in your stomach first, don't tell anyone, I will give you a surprise when the time comes, don't believe it?" We'll see in the future. ”

Of course, Zhao Gou would not doubt that Xu Zizhen had never disappointed him, and of course he would never tell anyone, at this time, he was indescribably excited in his heart, but he wished that time would pass faster, so that he could see what the surprise Xu Zizhen was talking about.

Xu Zizhen looked at Zhao Gou's shining eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, the steam engine has been successfully tested, and the first steamship in the history of this change will appear at that time, I am afraid that it will not only surprise Zhao Gou, but also give Jin Ren a surprise.
