Chapter 51: Major Events in the DPRK and China
The ten-day patrol ended quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What surprised Wu Shaogang was that the fight in the alley south of Zhongwazi was so tragic that there was not a trace of news coming out, and there was no discussion, the blood stains in the alley in the south were cleaned that night, as for the forty-nine corpses, they were handled by Huang Maosheng, and there was no trace left.
Being able to do it without leaking a drop shows that the power of the guild is really extraordinary.
This also made Wu Shaogang firm in his confidence, and he had to find a way to win over the guild.
After the patrol ended, Wu Shaogang finally went home to take a look.
There were five large sandalwood boxes in the bedroom, which had not been opened, and Qing Niang said that these boxes were sent by the people who claimed to be guilds a day ago, and they were specially sent to Wu Shaogang's bedroom, as for what was in the box, they did not speak.
Supporting the green lady, Wu Shaogang opened the sandalwood box, the whole box of gold, made his eyes dazzled, and the whole person was a little dizzy, these five sandalwood boxes contained a full 10,000 taels of gold.
The fourth master really did what he said, and sent people to deliver the gold directly to the mansion.
In fact, in the later patrol, Wu Shaogang also contacted the fourth master several times, and the two even ate and drank and chatted together, through mutual contact, Wu Shaogang felt that the fourth master was weathered, had deep experience, was bold, and was willing to stick a knife in the ribs for his friends, but his personality was a little irritable.
All these characteristics of the fourth master have many similarities with the boss of the underworld after a thousand years.
Such a person is righteous and worthy of friendship and encirclement.
When Li Siqi came to visit again, Wu Shao had just returned home.
"Vice General Wu, this time I am patrolling in Zhongwazi, I feel pretty good, but I heard that Vice General Wu was very majestic when he led his subordinates to patrol."
"Nothing, patrolling is just walking around and seeing, it's not a big deal."
"Also, Vice General Wu is so brave that he came to the front of the palace to urge the front army, and actually went to patrol, how can this be done."
Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi, and his heart moved, what does this mean, is it difficult to hold grievances for himself.
I don't know if Li Siqi knows about the fight that happened in Zhongwazi.
Before Wu Shao could open his mouth and continue to speak, Li Siqi lowered his voice and spoke, and before he spoke, he also looked in the direction of the door, in fact, in the entire mansion, except for the two of them, that is, Qingniang.
"Vice General Wu, do you know that there are some things happening in the imperial court, and they are all big things."
Wu Shaogang is thinking about the affairs in the imperial court, but at present, he is not qualified to know these things.
"Mr. Li, how could I possibly know what happened in the imperial court."
Li Siqi nodded, obviously agreeing with Wu Shaogang's words.
"Actually, I just heard about it, and I can't help it, so I'll talk to Vice General Wu."
Li Siqi seems to have made up her mind and no longer looks left and right.
"Last month, the emperor planned to appoint His Royal Highness King Zhong as the crown prince, but he encountered the opposition of the left prime minister, Lord Wu Qian, and the right prime minister, Lord Jia, expressed support, I heard that the emperor was very annoyed by this, and I am afraid that Lord Wu's phase is difficult to protect."
Li Siqi's words made Wu Shaogang become serious.
This should be regarded as a real big thing in the court, looking at the entire Song Dynasty, the idea of imperial power is not particularly harsh, and the civil and military ministers in the court discuss the matter of the heir to the throne, which often happens, but it is still very rare to be able to interfere with the matter of the heir to the throne.
Since the emperor proposed to make King Zhong the crown prince, he must have made up his mind, and to oppose it at this time is to touch the dragon scales.
"Mr. Li, I don't know why Wu Zuoxiang opposes King Zhong to inherit the throne."
"That's a long story...
Li Siqi didn't care about Wu Shaogang's loneliness and ignorance, and explained it seriously.
It turned out that the loyal king Zhao Yu was not the emperor's own son, and the emperor had no heirs.
Bless the first year, the emperor selected his nephew Jian'an County King Zhao Kao as the prince, and at the same time changed his name to Zhao Yu, a year later Jin was named the loyal king, so that Zhao Yu became the prince, seven years passed, the emperor felt that he was old, and planned to canonize Zhao Yu as the crown prince, did not expect this proposal, encountered the opposition of Wu Qian, the prime minister of the left, Wu Qian's twists and turns to "the minister has no far-reaching talent, the loyal king has no blessing of His Majesty" to express a clear opposition.
Shi Miyuan mentioned in Wu Qian's sentence is the right prime minister and privy envoy who has been dead for nearly 30 years, Shi Miyuan has controlled the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 20 years, and now the emperor Song Lizong can ascend the throne, Shi Miyuan has the greatest credit.
On the surface, Wu Qian was suspicious of the ability of the loyal king Zhao Yu, but in fact, this was not the case.
The relationship between the loyal king Zhao Yu and the right prime minister Jia Nidao is very good, but the relationship with Wu Qian is average, Wu Qian has already felt a potential threat, once Zhao Yu ascends the throne, then he, the left prime minister, I am afraid it will be done.
However, what Wu Qian never expected was that the emperor had made up his mind to appoint Zhao Yu as the crown prince, and Wu Qian's opposition at this moment had actually threatened his own status.
At this time, Jia Rudao expressed full support for the emperor's canonization of the loyal king Zhao Yu as the crown prince, and obtained the emperor's approval.
When Li Siqi said this, Wu Shaogang had already understood everything.
It seems that Wu Qian's career has turned down.
Since ancient times, the canonization of the imperial throne is an extremely sensitive matter, any emperor, do not want others to interfere in the affairs of their own heir, this is a royal matter, but also the dignity of the royal family, the reason why the solicitation of opinions, is just to do superficial articles, in order to show the emperor's wisdom.
Wu Qian this person is some ability, and is a rare main battle faction in the DPRK, last year the Mongolian army attacked Sichuan and Ezhou and other places, feeling that the country was threatened, the emperor appointed Wu Qian as the left prime minister, presiding over all the affairs of the DPRK and China, after taking office, Wu Qian, refuted the proposal of the peace faction and the surrender faction about moving the capital, and strongly advocated fighting with the Mongolian army.
It is a pity that the representative of the peace faction in the DPRK and China is Jia Nidao, the right prime minister and privy envoy, and the twists and turns of moving the capital were also proposed by Jia Nidao.
At that time, Jia Nidao had just taken office, and it was not enough to compete with Wu Qian, so the smart Jia Nidao led his troops to aid Ezhou, and was willing to take risks in order to consolidate his position.
After the withdrawal of the Mongolian army, the emperor, who felt exhausted, was anxious to be crowned crown prince.
There is already a hidden meaning in this, that is, the emperor does not really think about the main battle, and is willing to live a comfortable life, but because the Southern Song Dynasty court encountered the danger of being subverted and exterminated, he was forced to rely on Wu Qian.
But Wu Qian didn't see this.
Jia Rudao realized this, did what he liked, and agreed with the emperor's appointment of Zhao Yu, the king of loyalty, as the crown prince, and gathered all forces in the DPRK and China, and began to crowd out Wu Qian, the prime minister of the left, on a large scale.
After narrating all these matters, Li Siqi looked at Wu Shaogang.
Although Wu Shaogang is still young, Lu Wende and Li Siqi are willing to inform such a major matter, and they feel that Wu Shaogang must have an unusual understanding and be able to put forward good opinions and suggestions.
Although Lu Wende supports Jia Nidao, he also agrees with Wu Qian's ability, so he has not yet made up his final decision, and he is completely biased towards Jia Nidao.
When Lu Wende and Li Siqi discussed this matter, the two thought of Wu Shaogang at the same time, so Li Siqi came to find Wu Shaogang and asked for advice.
Wu Shaogang had been silent for a while.
In his heart, he also supports Jia Yidao, but only in terms of the heir to the throne, as for the attitude towards the Mongolian army, he supports Wu Qian, the prime minister of the left, but things have come to this point, and it is by no means naΓ―ve and enthusiastic to solve the problem, that is to say, it has become a foregone conclusion that Wu Qian has been squeezed out, and no one can change the situation at present.
Wu Shaogang's future development needs to rely on Lu Wende, Li Siqi and others, so at this time, he must express his opinions, and put forward practical opinions for Lu Wende.
"Mr. Li is so confident, I will tell the truth, I personally think that the emperor's canonization of the crown prince, others are not good to interfere, this is a royal matter after all, the emperor must have a comprehensive consideration, in this way, Wu Zuoxiang's measures are inappropriate, and I think that the matter of canonizing the crown prince is related to the stability of the court, such a major matter, can not be a good proposal, Wu Zuoxiang has the emperor's trust, affecting his prestige in the court."
"What Vice General Wu means, Wu Zuoxiang is afraid that he will be punished."
"I think so, as for how the emperor will think, it's not something I can speculate."
"Vice General Wu's analysis is very reasonable, and Jia Youxiang's opinion on this matter is completely different from Wu Zuoxiang's."
Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi and simply said.
"Mr. Li, I think the emperor must support Prime Minister Jia, as for Prime Minister Wu, it's a little dangerous."
"Is there a possibility of changing the situation?"
"That's not going to happen."
"If Wu Zuoxiang chooses to go into hiding, what will be the outcome."
"Wu Zuoxiang is afraid that he will not be able to do this, after all, as the head of a hundred officials, his status is by no means ordinary, how can he not take responsibility for such a major matter."

Li Siqi stood up and saluted Wu Shaogang with a fist.
"Hearing Vice General Wu's analysis today, Mao Sai suddenly opened, if Vice General Wu can enter the imperial court in the future, he will definitely become the pillar of our dynasty."
Wu Shaogang also stood up and saluted Li Siqi with a fist.
"Mr. Li praised me, I don't have such ability, that is, I just talk about it."
"Vice General Wu should not be too humble, but not everyone can casually say such a profound understanding."
