Chapter 204: Intelligence is King
That night, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Li Shien, and Li Shiren left quietly, and they did not say hello to their brothers, and even the presiding officer of the temple did not know when the three of them left, only Zhao Gou and Wang Wu knew.
"Young master, shall we go back?" Wang Wu bowed and asked.
Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "This is one of them, there is another thing that needs to be done!" ”
Wang Wu glanced at it in confusion, lowered his head again, and continued to follow behind Zhao Gou and left. However, Zhao Gou did not go to other places, but returned to the mansion, and ordered everyone to rest, and sat alone in the room, not knowing what to think.
"Senior brother, you're here!" After a moment, Zhao Gou said with a smile.
The person who came was the Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, and he replied, "Senior brother, why did you ask me to come?" ”
"Senior brother, let you come late at night to disturb the rest, and look at Haihan!" Zhao Gou smiled apologetically, and then said, "Senior brother, I want to know the whereabouts of Brother Yan Qing, I wonder if Senior Brother can tell me?" ”
On that day, the court rewarded him, but Yan Qing also refused the reward, resigned and went into hiding, making the four seas his home and wandering the world. Since that day, neither Zhao Gou nor anyone else knows where he is. However, Zhao Gou knew that Yan Qing would definitely contact Lu Junyi, just because he was Lu Junyi's domestic servant.
Lu Junyi exclaimed: "Senior brother, how did you guess that I must know?" ”
Zhao Gou smiled and said nothing, and Lu Junyi continued: "Xiao Yi did contact me, and I also know his whereabouts. I just don't understand, my brother asked me what was going on? ”
"At present, my situation, senior brother must have guessed it, and I don't need to say more!" Zhao Gou said in a straight voice, "Brother Yan Qing is good at using crossbow arrows, proficient in sumo wrestling, strong in martial arts, and versatile. ”
"This time, I need to use his power to help me accomplish one thing. If this succeeds, it will certainly help in the future, and he is the only one of his brothers who has the ability to do so. If my brother knows, I hope you can tell me. ”
Lu Junyi was silent for a moment, stared at Zhao Gou, and said, "Senior brother, do you want to establish your own power?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhao Gou nodded and said, "In the court, I have no strength to stand on, so I can only look at other places." If I didn't guess wrong, as long as I appeared in the court, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of my eldest brother and others, but I was afraid that I would be isolated and helpless at that time. ”
"Now, the brothers are going their separate ways, and keeping you away from the capital is nothing more than a test given to me by my father. If I'm not mistaken, even if my father wants to help me, I don't dare to be blatant. Since there are traitorous ministers in the court, they should be dealt with and returned to me. ”
"Brother Yan Qing's ability, you should know best, and I need him to establish such a huge organization, in order to get the information I want. If you want to truly understand the suffering of the people and know the details of the officials of the DPRK and China, only intelligence is the king. ”
"As the emperor, my father sometimes can't help himself. Although I am not the emperor, but the king of the county, I am a child of the Zhao family and a member of the royal family, how can I ignore it, only care about my own net worth and life, and ignore the safety of the Great Song Dynasty and the suffering of the people. ”
Lu Junyi answered: "What the junior brother did, the elder brother can understand. If this thing can really be done, then the Great Song Dynasty in the future will be completely clear, where will there be so many corrupt officials and traitorous ministers, and the people will definitely be able to have enough food and clothing. ”
Zhao Gou didn't answer, the idea in his heart was indeed like this, but this way was only temporary, he had seen with his own eyes that some people relied on the power in their hands and acted recklessly, which was more dangerous than corrupt officials. However, this is the only way to take complete control of everything and control everything in your hands.
Yan Qing is versatile and lives in the people, if he comes forward to deal with it, everything will be easy. With his talents, he must be able to handle everything, and it is very easy to know the information. Zhao Gou also thought about it for a long time, and only felt that Yan Qing was the most suitable, this was the second step to secretly establish his own power, and the intelligence was established, and then he fought against those officials, and he would definitely let him compromise if he had the handle.
Song Huizong was worried about the chaos of the dynasty, but Zhao Gou was not afraid, instead of keeping useless people cholera court, embezzlement and bribery, and corruption and bending the law, it was better to directly clean them out of the court, kill a hundred people, and let those who really serve the country and the people enter the court.
Lu Junyi agreed with Zhao Gou's approach, he told him Yan Qing's address, and then turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Gou and admonished: "Senior brother, whenever you want to save Yue Fei's life, his life is related to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Senior brother, what does this mean?" Lu Junyi was surprised.
Zhao Gou replied: "Yue Fei's fate is comparable to that of the Jin Kingdom, and with Yue Fei and other generals here, he will definitely be able to compete with the Great Jin Kingdom in the future." Now, Yue Fei will not stay in the court, but will go with you, and the senior brother will give him good guidance, so that he can really take charge of himself and become the general who commands all the armies, and he will be entrusted to you together. ”
Lu Junyi nodded, he didn't ask for a specific reason, but Zhao Gou's words made him understand that Yue Fei was concerned about the fate of the Great Song Dynasty. Yue Fei did not stay in the capital to serve, and was also transferred out of the capital and went with Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi knew that his junior brother was hidden and surpassed his master, so he also believed what Zhao Gou said, and did his best to cultivate Yue Fei, and also attached great importance to it, even if Zhao Gou didn't say it, he would do it, and during the battle against Fang La, he discovered Yue Fei's talent, and this matter also became a secret between the two of them.
After Zhao Gou learned Yan Qing's address, he immediately got up, Yan Qing was not far from the capital, and he lived on the outskirts of the city, and after Zhao Gou came, Yan Qing was also stunned. After that, Zhao Gou handed over all the things to Yan Qing for disposal, and Yan Qing solemnly agreed, and immediately set off to join Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others.
After doing everything well, Zhao Gou turned around and went home, he wanted to establish his own secret power, in order to compete with the crown prince Zhao Huan and others, and the future development of the Great Song Dynasty. Only by secretly cultivating a group of forces can we have the capital to compete with others.
As the emperor, Zhao Ji is the king of a country, and he also has his own secret strength - Amber Villa. Zhao Gou is just painting a gourd in the same way, this thing has been wanted to be done for a long time, and there has been no good time. Now that the time is sufficient, act now.
Zhao Gou muttered to himself: "As long as it can really be completed, it will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results in the future." Whether it is a traitorous minister, or a Jin State or a Liao State, as long as the scale of secret power is reached, the next thing will be a matter of course. ”
"Although I don't have any official positions in the various institutions, I do have the title of Hussar General. Now, there are only three of them who remain in the capital, and the forces behind them are my foundation, and only by establishing a good relationship with them can I truly stabilize my foothold in the court. ”
"It's just that the eldest brother should take action next! With his character, he will never make me bigger and stronger, and he is bound to give me a heavy blow. If you don't guess wrong, I'm just afraid that the wind and rain are coming...... That's fine, see the move, be invincible! ”
