"Lord, the post from the Wei Wangfu, the King of Wei invited the prince and his wife to have dinner in the Wei Wangfu in the evening."

"Oh, how could my brother be so interested today. Okay, you can put the post first. As a result, Zhao Weiji let his subordinates leave the study.

Recently, Zhao Weiji has fallen into a difficult situation, there are few people available around him now, and there are really not many people who can be trusted.

……

In the evening, in the palace of King Wei.

"Guoxiang, come on, come on, it's so easy for you to come back from the battlefield, and you don't know how to go back to the house to see your mother." The old woman, Wang, was happy to see her child come back from the battlefield safely.

"What my mother said is that it was my son who did something wrong in this matter, and my son punished himself first." After speaking, Zhao Weiji drank all the wine in the cup.

Seeing that Zhao Weiji drank all the wine in the cup, Wang smiled happily, then turned his head to look at Chai Yu and said, "You have been married for a year, why haven't your stomachs moved." ”

Chai Yu was asked by the old lady, and suddenly became a little shy. Seeing that his wife was in some trouble, Zhao Weiji took the initiative to stand up and relieve the siege and said: "We are already working hard, this can't be blamed on Xiaoyu, as soon as we got married, I was transferred to Zhenzhou." ”

"Yes, my mother just asked, I don't know your situation yet."

In this way, the family kept chatting about home cooking until the end of dinner.

After the meal, Chai Yu was left by the old lady to speak, and Zhao Weiji was called to the study by the eldest brother Zhao Weizheng.

"Come on, tell the eldest brother about the situation, our family is the most promising for you now, is there any place for the eldest brother to help." After showing Zhao Weiji a seat, Zhao Wei asked Zhao Weiji with a smile.

Of course, Zhao Weiji did not directly tell Zhao Weizheng about his ambitions, but he briefly talked about the situation he was facing now.

"Lack of people? I already knew that you would have such a day, your kid is now so big in the stall, and now there is a shortage of people. ”

"Big brother someone?"

"I don't have anybody."

"Ugh."

"But we have someone for our father and mother. Here's a list of people on my father's side that can be trusted, so you can take them and visit them one by one. As for my mother's side, our maternal grandfather Wang Pu also has a certain amount of connections left, and I will give you an opportunity. ”

In fact, Zhao Weizheng was able to have so many connections at once, and it was also because Zhao Dezhao's long-term layout began to play an effective role.

Originally, Zhao Dezhao was the one who should inherit the unification of Song Taizu, and the accumulation of these connections was naturally supposed to be prepared for the crown prince.

Before Taizu's death, although the power of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, was already huge, not that no one supported Zhao Dezhao, not to mention that the death of the father and the succession of the son were orthodox, so there were not many people in this category.

However, because Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the reunification in the end, these people who were on the wrong side politically naturally attracted a certain amount of suppression. Despite this, Zhao Dezhao still had an extremely close connection with this group of people's insurance during his lifetime. And after his death, this relationship was naturally inherited by Zhao Weizheng.

Zhao Weizheng has inherited this network for some years, but because Zhao Guangyi has maintained a high degree of "attention" to Zhao Dezhao's line over the years, this network has never had a chance to be used.

Now it's different, what is unexpected is that Zhao Weiji suddenly began to emerge in the past few years, and the speed of the rise is unusually fast.

Whether it is his achievements in civilian business or his status in the military, Zhao Weiji has been described as a rocket rising over the years. Zhao Weiji's strong rise made Zhao Weizheng see a glimmer of hope again, so he decided to transfer this connection to Zhao Weiji.

Seeing this list, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but be taken aback, the first three people at the beginning were the son of Gao Huaide, the son of Zhang Mei and the son of Feng Jiye.

The fathers of these three people are not small, they are all heroes of Song Taizu Conglong, but because they stood on the wrong team in the succession, they were excluded and suppressed at the beginning of Zhao Guangyi's succession.

But they still have political power, and if they can get help from them, Zhao Weiji will undoubtedly be strengthened.

……

Three days later, Gao Fu.

"Junbao, let's say goodbye, let's talk about it later."

In the past three days, Zhao Weiji has visited Zhang Gu, the son of Zhang Mei, Feng Hong, the son of Feng Jiye, and Gao Yu, the son of Gao Huaide.

Although Zhao Weiji didn't get anything substantive from these three people, he got the promise of these three people, and at present, this is enough for Zhao Weiji.

What Zhao Weiji lacks most now is actually the support from the court, although these three people do not have the corresponding status in the court because of their father's relationship, but they have good connections.

Networking is a very important thing in this society. After getting the promise of these three people, Zhao Weiji had an idea, he wanted to bury his own nails in the court through the relationship between these three people.

He now has three candidates on his list, namely Kou Zhun, Li Di and Zhang Zhibai.

All three of them have been in the position of domination since then, but none of them are now famous.

Now Kou Zhun has already sat in the position of the governor of Zhenzhou because of himself, and all he needs is to help.

And Li Di and Zhang Zhibai are just a cloth cloth at this time, and their family background is not very good, if Zhao Weiji can lend a helping hand at this time, they will definitely be grateful to the two.

Of course, these have to be operated slowly, and the problems at this stage have not been completely solved, and there are still too few people around.

……

Just after Zhao Weiji returned to his mansion from Gaofu, two people came to the door.

"In the middle of the iron Zheng."

"There is no shortage of fish in Xiajiang."

"Who are the two of you?" Two people I didn't know suddenly came to visit, and Zhao Weiji was a little stunned for a while.

"Our father was a student of your maternal grandfather, Prime Minister Wang Pu, and he assisted his old man in compiling and sorting out the "Five Generations Meeting". Hearing Zhao Weiji's question, Tie Zheng explained their identities.

Zhao Weiji now understood that these two people who didn't seem to be old turned out to be the connections that the eldest brother Zhao Weizheng said about his mother.

Through chatting, Zhao Weiji learned that Tie Zheng has a strong talent and knowledge reserve in military strategy. The river fish is excellent in terms of political strategy.

"The two of you have such talent, why don't you go to the imperial examination?" This is something that Zhao Weiji can't quite understand.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." As if he knew that Zhao Weiji had such a question, Jiang Yu replied without thinking about it.

"Why?" If it was the previous generation, Zhao Weiji might still be able to guess some, but the Song Dynasty expanded the scope of participation in the imperial examination from Taizong onwards, and basically everyone except for prisoners could add the imperial examination, including the children of merchants.

"Our father was unfortunately involved in the Fuling County Public Conspiracy Case, which caused us to have nowhere to show our skills." Thinking of his own situation, Tie Zheng not only sighed a little about the impermanence of the world.

The Duke of Fuling County was the King of Wei before Zhao Dezhao, his uncle, Zhao Tingmei, the younger brother of Taizu and Taizong. Because Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he made a golden alliance. According to the Jinkui Alliance, Empress Dowager Du taught the Zhao family to be a brother and a brother, so Zhao Guangyi inherited the throne of Zhao Kuangyin.

But in this way, the one who inherits the throne of Zhao Guangyi should be the fourth Zhao Tingmei. Zhao Tingmei has always regarded himself as the heir, but Zhao Guangyi has no intention of giving the stern to Zhao Tingmei after he inherited the throne.

Zhao Tingmei, whose ambitions were inflated because of the knowledge of the Jinkui Alliance, came up with the idea of rebellion, but later failed because the matter was revealed. But Zhao Guangyi did not kill Zhao Tingmei, but only cut his prince and demoted him to the prince of Fuling County.

Although Zhao Tingmei saved his surname, this incident gave Zhao Guangyi a chance to purge dissidents, and many people who had nothing to do with this incident were implicated, including the parents of the two in front of him.

Zhao Weiji, who learned about this situation, began to have initial trust in the two, such a person is definitely more reliable. So Zhao Weiji also gave the two of them an explanation of their basic situation here.

Although Zhao Weiji did not tell the two of them about his ambition to be the emperor, the two of them also probably understood from Zhao Weiji's words that Zhao Weiji's plan was not small.

After analyzing Zhao Weiji's current situation, Jiang Yu spoke: "I feel that if the king wants to really spread his fists, it is best to stay away from the capital. ”

As soon as Jiang Yu said that, Zhao Weiji understood his intentions, after all, if all the layout was carried out in the capital, all every move would be carried out under Zhao Guangyi's nose.

Zhao Guangyi has been operating in Bianliang since he was still the king of Jin and Kaifeng Yin, and it can be said that Zhao Guangyi's tentacles cover the widest area.

At that time, Zhao Guangyi's power in Bianliang was so terrifying that Song Taizu had already proposed the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang, but in the end it still did not happen.

Zhao Weiji has a certain understanding of Zhao Guangyi, the old fox's methods, don't look at him now, he is not bad to himself, but Zhao Weiji already feels that his good life is coming to an end.

Now Zhao Weiji has a tendency to become the first person in the army after experiencing the Yongxi Northern Expedition. Originally, there were many capable people among the second-generation generals, but at this time, there were problems.

Moreover, according to the history known by Zhao Weiji, soon the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty will have problems again, and just this year, Li Jiqian of the Northwest Party will attach himself to the Khitan and get the canonization of the Khitan. And next year, Li Jiqian will raise troops to capture Xiazhou.

Although the details of Yongxi's Northern Expedition have changed because of the appearance of Zhao Weiji, the general trend of history has not changed.

So Li Jiqian's rise is still possible. Zhao Guangyi will definitely not hand over this battle to Zhao Weiji, but if this battle is lost, Zhao Weiji's situation will become very bad.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weiji had to seriously consider Jiangyu's suggestion.

"And where do you think I should go?"

"The southeast coast."
