- Hebei East Road, Daimyo's Mansion.

When Emperor Zhenzong drove his own expedition, he was stationed here, and after the alliance of Yuanyuan, Lu Yijian, who was the prime minister at the time, asked for the Daimyo Mansion to be upgraded to the Great Song Dynasty Beijing. It is determined that this place is the heart of the entire Hebei Road and the core position of the entire Liao defense line, and its importance can be imagined.

The keeper of the famous mansion is the first person in the military and political affairs of Hebei, and he is not a public minister or a marshal, without exception. The previous term was Jia Changchao, who went out of the town with Pingzhang political affairs, and this term was the famous prefect Li Zhaoliang, although he was a military general, but his illustrious background was incomparable.

He is the nephew of Empress Taizong Mingde, the son of the famous general Li Jilong, at the age of four he became the Dongtou worship official, after three dynasties, the holy family of Rilong, with the Pingzhang political affairs, Jingling Palace envoy, Zhaode military festival envoy title for the imperial court to guard the north.

This extremely popular minister, but now he has given up his yamen to others as a guide.

There is only one person in the Great Song Dynasty who can let him do this, and that is Zhao Zongshi, the fake son of the official family...... When the official family comes to Beijing, there is a palace to live in, so naturally they will not live in the palace. Of course, Zhao Zongshi didn't want to rob it, but he had to let him, before he arrived in Beijing, he would move out with his family first, so that you could live if you didn't live.

In fact, Zhao Zongshi got the guidance of his father and understood that he came out this time to show his ability. Do the errand beautifully, so that the world is impressed...... It turns out that the Thirteen Sage Kings not only have the heart of the Bodhisattva, but also the King Kong roar. So that the guys who say he's weak and inactive will shut up.

So he wants to stand up! The old marshal was knowledgeable and interesting, so it was naturally better to let him go, and after resigning, he still led a group of people to live in.

Once he had settled down, he went into a big fight. First of all, he ordered people to copy back all the account books and files of the transfer envoys and the commanders of the various armies. Then he ordered all the troops to assemble and stand by, and not to leave the camp without reason, and all the armies commanded envoys to report to the daimyo's mansion immediately.

Hebei Wenwu saw that Zhao Zong was so decisive and capable, some admired, some were afraid, and some were surprised, and no one dared to disobey. Within three days, the seventeen commanders of the Hebei East Road all rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion. I saw that martial law had been imposed in the city, and inside and outside the prefect's yamen was three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

When the general sat down in the second hall, they heard a shout: "The Qin mission has arrived!" ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The generals stood up in unison. I saw Zhao Zongshi wearing a purple official robe, a jade belt around his waist, a small goldfish hanging in the middle, sixteen guards with knives, and thirty-two small yellow doors following behind, with a majestic and pompous appearance.

When the guards and the yellow gate were separated in the hall, Zhao Zongshi announced the decree. After the generals gave a big salute to the officials. He also saluted Zhao Zong.

Zhao Zongshi changed his smile and said, "Let's get up, everyone!" Said that he sat in the middle of the case, and said: "This time, I was ordered to check the number of soldiers on Hebei East Road, so that everyone came in a hurry, I really don't want to go!" "If anyone sees the scene of Zhao Zhen giving a lecture to the generals of the forbidden army in the Imperial Palace, they will definitely be surprised...... The demeanor, demeanor, and tone of the uncle and nephew. How can it be so similar?

Nonsense, you professionally imitate twenty years, and you are like.

But after all, it is difficult to draw cats and tigers, and Zhao Zhen's bodhisattva heart cannot be learned just by learning.

Zhao Zongshi glanced at the generals. He said in a calm tone: "The country spends half of Thailand and recruits troops to raise soldiers, which is originally intended to make the livelihood of the unemployed people have a trust, and all strong neighbors have nothing to do. It is really the purpose of protecting the country and the people, and appeasing the people. After a pause, he said: "However, over the years, there have been shortages in various forbidden armies, and they have not been made up or reported. The phenomenon of hiding from each other, eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers has become more and more intense, which can be a great shame for the country! ”

Saying that, he said in an accentuated tone: "The princes eat the court, are entrusted by the officials, and lead the troops out of the town, and ask yourself if they are worthy of the trust of the court?" Are you worthy of the deep benevolence and kindness of the official family?! ”

There was a burst of guns and cannons, and the whole hall was full of gunsmoke.

But that's about it. See how the generals of the forbidden army in the capital dealt with Zhao Zongji. I knew that they had been cultivating thick and black for a long time, not to mention that they had already gotten the news from the capital and were fully prepared...... Like their counterparts in the capital, they also spent a lot of money to hire local people and an organized army to enrich the military camp.

There is a way that there is food at home and there is no panic in the heart, so the gentlemen listened to Zhao Zong's practical training with a blank face, but they thought about it in their hearts, it was easy to come back to Beijing, and they had to go to Cuixianglou to have a good time when they turned around......

Seeing that he had said something dry, and the generals were still talking like chickens and ducks, Zhao Zongshi couldn't help but be angry, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I have already obtained the rosters and salary records of each army, and I will check it myself!" After a pause, he said, "But before I find out, you don't have to go back, and you can rest in this mansion for the time being." Rest assured, I am very generous and will not abuse you. You can live in peace! ”

After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, ignoring the generals who looked at each other in the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Zongshi did what he said, and from the day of the fight, he really commanded all the envoys on Hebei Road, and all of them were put under house arrest, and no one could intercede. The officials who are under house arrest will want to see him again unless they have to take the initiative to explain the vacancies.

At the same time, Zhao Zongshi asked the capable ministers sent by Han Qi to go to the state to investigate the army and army, and be sure to pick out all the greasy. It is said that the first thing the officials who were sent to run errands did when they arrived at the barracks was to shower all the soldiers, but all those who washed off their faces were beaten with 30 sticks and driven out of the barracks.

Mao Zi said that things in the world are afraid of the word 'more true'. Under Zhao Zongshi's strict supervision, gratifying results were reported one by one.

In the Daimyo's Mansion, the Cloud Cavalry Army found a shortage of 1,700; The Xiongwu Army found a shortage of 2,100, and the Second Army of Wuwei found a shortage of 1,300......

Zhending Mansion, the first army of Wuwei, found a shortage of 1,900; The armed cavalry found a shortage of 1,800......

Hejian Mansion, Feiwu Army, found a shortage of 1,700; Feiwu Second Army, found a shortage of 2,000......

The inventory was only halfway through, and Zhao Zongshi's summary book had already accumulated a shortage of more than 20,000 yuan.

"In this way, the last 40,000 should not be a problem......" Zhao Zongfu, who came to help him, optimistically estimated: "In this way, even if we take out 10,000 and ease the relationship with the Hebei generals, there are still 30,000, plus the 20,000 on Lao Jiu's side, there will be 50,000." I heard that Bianjing only plans to give up 20,000 yuan, or Zhao Zongji and Zhao Conggu. They must have been compared to skinless and hairless. ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Zongshi said with a rare smile: "Who made them dare not let go of their hands and feet, let them lose convincingly this time!" In fact, he was also miserable, and he was cautious for many years, and he didn't dare to do anything. This time it's easy to get permission, let go of a big fight, that feeling is like holding stool for several days, and finally pooping out, although it is inevitable that chrysanthemum flowers will have pain, but it is really refreshing!

The two brothers were talking, and they saw Xue San, the head of the guards in the house, walking in quickly.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Zongfu frowned and asked.

"The villain came to deliver a letter to the two sons." Xue San saluted, regardless of the wind and dust, took out a wax pill from his arms, and offered it with both hands.

Zhao Zongfu took it, pinched open the wax pill, unfolded the note inside, looked at it, and said in shock: "There has been a big change in the capital." ”

"What," Zhao Zongshi stood up and said in a tight voice, "What happened?" ”

"Zhao Zongji and Zhao Conggu stabbed through the barrier of the forbidden army in the capital and brought the matter to the official family, and finally the official family personally took action and forced out the 50,000 vacancies!" Zhao Zongfu said in a deep voice.

"Ah......" Zhao Zongshi knocked over the five-flavor bottle when he boarded: "They dare? It's so, so shameless......"

"And ......" Zhao Zongfu swallowed and foamed: "Because of this incident, Han Xianggong was transferred out of Xifu and went to Dongfu to serve as Jixian Xiangxiang......"

"......" Zhao Zongshi sat on the chair, his joy turned into nothing, and only his heart was extremely worried.

Although Jixian and the privy envoy are considered to be at the same level, the privy envoy can dominate the western mansion and compete with the eastern mansion. And Ji Xianxiang is Zhao Wenxiang's deputy...... With Han Qi's disrespect to Fu Bi in the past, it is conceivable that if he falls under Fu Bi, there will be some good fruits to eat.

Of course, Zhao Zongshi didn't care about Han Qi's death, he was just worried that after Han Qi's power shrank, he could no longer provide him with strong protection.

"The official family is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle!" For a person with persecution paranoia, he will see all the disadvantages as persecution for himself. Zhao Zongshi said with a depressed face: "Seeing that we did our errands well, he intervened and beat me with Han Xianggong...... Don't want me to be on top of the throne and say it clearly! ”

"Alas......" Zhao Zongfu sighed, but secretly said in his heart, who do you think you are? Will the officials make a big fuss because of you? He also said calmly: "Don't get excited, there are instructions from my father......"

Zhao Zongji narrowed his eyelids and said that he was listening.

"Father said, let's not be affected, just do the errand well, and he has everything in the capital." Zhao Zongfu said softly: "Don't you hate the official family? His recompense is coming. ”

"Well...... Zhao Zongji nodded and said happily: "It's a pity that I'm not in the capital, so I can't see this good show." ”

"It was originally launched at this time to avoid suspicion." Zhao Zongfu said: "Let's just wait to listen to the letter, and deal with the mess in front of us first." ”

"Yes, you can't sit still!" Zhao Zongshi bounced up from the chair, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell those bastards that if you don't explain thoroughly, you won't be allowed to eat!" ”――
