Chapter 1137: The Prince's Ambition
After the reconstruction, the financial system will continue to remain in Luoyang, and it will inevitably be affected by traditional forces, after all, the financial groups are intertwined and unfathomable, and no one knows how many shadows they hide.
After weighing, Wang Ningan decided to bring the headquarters of several major banks to Youzhou.
This decision is still very controversial.
After all, there are many banking businesses, where the headquarters is located, where the cash flow is, the benefits are immeasurable, it can be said that as long as the bank headquarters is still there, Luoyang is the economic center of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the population, economy, and technology of other cities are more than Luoyang, just one financial one, it is enough for Luoyang to be full of money.
But Wang Ningan still insisted on moving away, not because Youzhou was his base camp, and the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders. Rather, Youzhou has the most powerful industrial strength and is a logistics center.
It is necessary to support the development of industry and set up banks in Youzhou nearby, which is convenient and fast, and has great benefits.
In addition, Luoyang has indeed encountered a bottleneck, the environmental damage in the northwest is too great, the land is barren, and disasters are continuous, and a huge amount of money is spent every year in order to maintain the huge consumption of the capital.
There was the idea of moving the capital to Youzhou back then, and now Zhao Shu is recuperating in Youzhou, in fact, a lot of preliminary work has been carried out, and the bank has been moved to the past, and it is just a boat to push the boat, and the timing is just right!
However, the day before the resolution was passed, Lu Huiqing came to ask for a meeting.
"Master, the disciple thinks that moving to the bank is of course a good move, but can you slow down and slowly figure it ......," Lu Huiqing asked tentatively.
"Jifu, you don't have to spit out, if you have any scruples, just say it."
"Yes!" Lu Huiqing opened her mouth, obviously a little embarrassed, Wang Ningan's brows gradually wrinkled, Lu Huiqing didn't dare to slack off, "That's the case, if you move the bank over, it will be of great benefit to Your Majesty!" β
Wang Ningan's face sank instantly, "Jifu, do you know what I don't like to see the most?" β
With a simple sentence, Lu Huiqing's forehead was sweating.
"Of course, Master doesn't like us to kill each other, and I don't like to fight among ourselves...... On the friendship of the door, the saint is our junior brother, and when it comes to the difference between the monarch and the minister, he is the son of heaven, and we are the hundred officials, so we should be loyal and dare not have half a word of complaint...... But there is a word that disciples can't hide from Master, and there are too many people who have been contacting Your Majesty recently, for example, Zhang Fangping once made a statement, Chen said about the situation of overseas colonies, and he also had a lot of slanderous words about Master, and now this note is on His Majesty's desk......"
As Lu Huiqing spoke, he observed his words and looks, and found that the master showed a contemplative expression, and his anger seemed to be a little less, and he was even bolder.
"Zhang Fangping is still only on the surface, and the people in the dark are even more unknown. Just the disciples knew, including the mansion of Wang Xianggong, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo in Kaifeng, and the homes of several forbidden army generals, there were people running to contact. Of course, the disciple believes in His Majesty's wisdom, and also knows that Master and His Majesty have a deep and righteous relationship, and the measures to reform and change the law are also approved by His Majesty, and there will be no mistakes...... However, I am not afraid that there are no good things, but I am afraid that there are no good people, these people keep saying bad things day and night...... And they have also plotted against His Majesty before, and this time it is inevitable that the old trick will be repeated - you must guard against it! β
After Lu Huiqing finished speaking, he lowered his head.
He was also worried that Master would blame, but he couldn't help but say this. Because Lu Huiqing has discovered that the forces that were damaged by the change in the past have all been gathered.
The remaining old guys also regarded this time as their last chance, and he even got a secret report, and the overseas Ercheng was actively contacting the doorman, hoping to have the opportunity to return to the Great Song Dynasty.
Although they were powerful now and didn't care about these people at all, once the Emperor was on their side, the situation was very different.
Since ancient times, the monarchy and the prime minister have been a pair of old enemies, and they have eliminated each other's strengths, but on the whole, they are equally divided, and most of the time the imperial power is still dominant.
If a few old guys, as well as the disciples of science, get the unconditional support and protection of the emperor, it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.
Lu Huiqing's reminder was really out of public intentions, and Wang Ningan bowed slightly.
"Jifu, Queen Wang is sick."
Lu Huiqing was stunned for a moment, why did Master suddenly talk about this, how fast his mind was, and immediately said, "Master, shouldn't you disturb Your Majesty at this time?" β
Wang Ningan pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "He is also your junior brother!" β
After finishing speaking, Wang Ningan turned around and left, leaving the stupid Lu Huiqing.
Oops!
Lu Huiqing's old face was flushed, she was very embarrassed, Master was blaming herself!
But that is the emperor, who can really take care of him as a junior brother, this requirement is too difficult to meet...... Lu Huiqing was very embarrassed and ashamed, and when he came back from the Qin Palace, he had been thinking about his master's words.
It seems that Master doesn't want us to get involved in it, so we make it difficult for Master!
That's it!
Leave it to Master!
Your Majesty, don't let Master down, after all, there is no one else who can do your job!
Lu Huiqing was full of emotion, the same is true for Zhao Shu, he paced slowly in the moonlight, his wife's words kept echoing in his ears, it is true that the dragon chair is not easy to sit on, he worked so hard, but the result was still calculated, and he had to move to Youzhou to recuperate, can the emperor succeed?
Just in the midst of worry, Zhao Ji came to Youzhou, the little guy was timid, and the unfamiliar environment made him very uneasy, but as he saw his father, he finally had a smile.
The son is taller and thinner, and his little face is still a little tired from the journey, with a hint of paleness.
Zhao Shu couldn't help it, and held his son in his arms, he wanted to say something, and wanted to ask how this time was going, and whether it was difficult to be a prisoner...... But when it came to the tip of his tongue, Zhao Shu couldn't help it again.
"Emperor, you take a rest first, and when you are washed, your father will take you to see your mother...... She is not in good health, and you have to please your mother. β
Zhao Wei nodded, he really missed his mother, the little guy ran away, but he ran out a few steps, and turned back, he arrived in front of Zhao Shu, hesitated for a while, and took out an envelope from his arms.
"Father, father, give, give to you."
Zhao Shu was stunned, who sent the letter, and asked the emperor to forward it?
He looked at the envelope, there was no half a word, and after spreading it, his face suddenly changed, the handwriting on it was too familiar, it was the eldest brother Wang Yan!
Wang Yan once served as a bachelor of Hanlin, and Zhao Shu also learned calligraphy from him, how could he not know him?
But the problem is that Wang Yan is not crazy, he even needs to be taken care of for his meals, how can he still write letters? Could it be that something happened to my father-in-law's family?
Zhao Shu began to browse through the content with a stomach full of suspicion.
The more I looked at him, the more gloomy my my face became, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and finally gritted his teeth and clenched his fists!
"Okay, you Wang Yuanze, you are deceiving the sky!"
Zhao Shu tried to control his anger, but his appearance was still terrifying, and Zhao Shu trembled with fright, and tears almost flowed down his eyes.
Noticing his son's condition, Zhao Shu finally regained his composure, and he reached out to hold Zhao Wei in his arms.
"Emperor, you tell your father, what's going on with this letter? Who gave it to you? β
"Yes...... It's Master Tang. β
"Master Tang?"
"Well, Master Tang who taught children to ride horses."
Zhao Shu nodded, "What did he say?" β
"He said that this was a safe letter from the queen mother's family, and my grandfather was worried about the queen mother's body and didn't want to alarm others, so he asked me to quietly send it to the queen mother."
Zhao Shu was even more curious, "Emperor, since you were asked to give it to your mother, why did you show it to your father?" β
"I, I'm afraid that my father will be displeased...... Master said, no matter what you do, you can't hide it from your father, father, did I do something wrong? β
"Yes, not at all!"
Zhao Shu held his son's head and patted him on the back for a while.
"Go quickly, remember, don't tell your mother about this."
"Hmm!"
Zhao Ji obediently agreed, and ran to wash.
Looking at his son's back, Zhao Shu was distracted for a while, and then his eyes fell on the letter, his facial features suddenly became hideous, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
In fact, Wang Yan handed over the letter to Zhao Ji and brought Wang Qing, this method is not bad, after all, no one dares to search the body of the prince of the prison country, the most dangerous place is also the safest.
He never expected that Zhao Ji looked stupid, but he listened to Wang Ning'an's words very much. To put it ironically, Wang Yan gave a lecture to Zhao Shu, he knew very well the relationship between the royal children and the master, which child did not have a bit of rebellious psychology, it is said that every master who entered the palace to give a lecture would be made into a straw man in private, and he would be pricked with a needle every day, which was so hateful!
Besides, ordinary children are afraid of their fathers, and they don't even dare to say anything if they have nothing to do, so Zhao Ji must give the letter to his mother first.
It's just that Wang Yan has been crazy for a while after all, and the information is outdated. Wang Ning'an, this master is different from other masters, he is approachable, flexible in teaching methods, and is very respected by Zhao Ji.
And last time, Zhao Shu fell into the water, Zhao Ji also followed him, and his father took him to see the scenery, and tried his best to save himself...... In Zhao Ji's small heart, the father is definitely much more reliable than the queen mother.
In this way, Zhao Ji sold his uncle almost without hesitation...... So what did Wang Yan write on it?
He told Wang Qing that the reform of the military system by the King of Qin was actually seizing control of the forbidden army and confiscating the banks in order to gather wealth, and the whole dynasty was a protΓ©gΓ© of the King of Qin.
With one hand in charge of the army, the other hand in the hand, and the power in his hands, King Qin is only one step away from ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.
He also said that if the saint is in Japan, maybe the king of Qin will not rebel, but once the saint has a mistake, the prince is too young, it is too dangerous.
It should be for the sake of the crown prince to ask the sage to stop Wang Ning'an's change...... and appointed virtuous ministers to assist the crown prince. Wang Yan instigated Wang Qing very bluntly, as a mother, she can't help but think about her children, and she can't let Zhao Xuan be a puppet, and she will be at the mercy of others for the rest of her life......
Zhao Shu read this letter no less than five times, from the initial anger to deep thought.
How similar!
More than ten years ago, didn't someone say this to the queen mother, and the queen mother also believed it, but the result was a misunderstanding between the mother and son for more than ten years, and now the old trick is repeated, which is really hateful!
Wang Yan, no matter what, I won't let you!
Zhao Shu was furious, and he remembered his wife's words again...... That's right, the dragon chair is too difficult to sit on, he was silent for a long time, and asked people to bring Zhao Ji.
Zhao Shu was very dignified and said a little hoarsely: "Emperor, what do you want to do, can you tell your father?" β
