Chapter 5 Fan Zhongyan returned to Beijing
A few days after the night of the assassination, Zhao Lei, in the name of being frightened, completely put off all official duties, and stayed in the Zhao Mansion to accompany his wife and concubine every day, which meant that he was very happy.

"The joy of family, envy others!" In the study of Zhao's mansion, Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, who was smiling gently, and said with a mocking smile.
Hearing Su Xun's words, Zhao Lei said to him with a wry smile: "Brother Mingyun, don't you understand the current situation!" ”
"Understood! How can I not understand, but I am not as pessimistic as Brother Sanshi thought! Su Xun knocked on the writing with the carved bamboo folding fan in his hand, and said indifferently to Zhao Lei.
"Brother Mingyun came to comfort me!" Zhao Lei still said with a distressed face.
"Definitely! Brother Sanshi has been in Bianjing for a short time, but things may not be as serious as Brother Sanshi thinks! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei and said with a smile.
"It's not serious! The official family handed over the construction of the navy to Ye Qingchen, Chen Yaozuo and me, and Ye Qingchen and Chen Yaozuo were one of the three envoys and the other was a privy envoy, and the two of them would definitely not stay away from Bianjing to establish the navy Yamen Zhan Navy, except for me, I am afraid there is no one else. Zhao Lei said with a self-deprecating smile, since he got the holy decree to show the navy with Ye Qingchen and Chen Yaozuo that day, Zhao Lei felt that something was wrong, it was definitely impossible for the navy to be in Bianjing, and what navy could be displayed in these small rivers and ditches, it must be in those coastal cities in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Lei was responsible for establishing the navy yamen, wouldn't it be a disguised seizure of the rights of the new army and the new army's logistics yamen. He was sent to the south coast.
"I don't think so! Maybe the official family will hand over the new army and navy to you at the same time! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, who was self-deprecating, and said seriously.
"How is that possible! The new army and the navy are thousands of miles apart, and the imperial court will not hand over these two armies to one person! Zhao Lei picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip and said indifferently.
Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Su Xun smiled confidently and said, "Not necessarily! Brother Sanshi is a fan of the authorities! Think about it. Brother Sanshi has rarely directly intervened in the affairs of the New Army and the logistics of the New Army recently! Among the five armies of the New Army, Yang Zun, Shi Yuanchun, Gao Zunping and Han Qi each trained their soldiers, and the Chinese army of the New Army, under the control of generals Zhu Dali, Zhao Ming, and Fan Quan, was training hard; The four yamen of the logistics of the new army, under the management of Ding Du, Zeng Gongliang, Xue Xiang and Ouyang Xiu, have also entered the regular stage, and now there is no need for Brother Sanshi to bother, that is to say. Even if the new army and the new army logistics yamen do not have Brother Sanshi in charge, they are still in order, maybe the official family will let you go to the coast to establish a navy at the same time, and also serve as the training envoy of the new army! ”
"The imperial court will not allow this kind of thing to happen, isn't the official family afraid of the tail not falling off!" Zhao Lei pouted and said.
"This is not a trick that Brother Sanshi has laid out before. Looking at the officials of the entire New Army and the four yamen of the logistics of the New Army, I really think that apart from the Chinese army of the New Army, there is no one that Brother Sanshi can completely control, isn't it that Brother Sanshi has already prepared to make this arrangement! Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei who sneered and said in surprise.
Wronged! Zhao Lei thought with a wry smile in his heart. The civil and military officials of the New Army that he chose back then were all the most suitable officials for the New Army, and all of them were extraordinary. will be valued by Zhao Lei, but he didn't expect that in Su Xun's opinion, it would become a premeditated preparation to disperse political risks, what else can Zhao Lei say except to be wronged.
But it's really a coincidence to think about it, the civil and military officials of the New Army that Zhao Lei unintentionally chose back then, now it seems that they are all from several major factions in the imperial court, and none of them have anything to do with Zhao Lei, among the generals of the New Army. Shi Yuanchun and Gao Zunping are people from Bianjing's generals, Yang Zun's Privy Council, and Han Qi are Yan Shu's disciples, all of whom have no deep relationship with Zhao Lei, and among the four yamen of the new army logistics, Ding Du is the protégé of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, Xue Xiang and Ye Qingchen have a good relationship, Zeng Gongliang is a disciple of Zhang Shixun, and Ouyang Xiu is also a disciple of Yan Shudi.
"If you think about it carefully, things seem to be as Brother Mingyun said! However, the imperial court will never let me take control of the two armies, and even if I remain as the training envoy of the new army, I am afraid that a deputy envoy will be added to manage the daily operation of the new army. Zhao Lei pondered for a while, nodded in agreement with Su Xun's words.
"Zhan Haijun Yamen was proposed by Brother Sanshi, and it is a matter of course for you to go to the coast to preside over this work, but this work is not easy to do well, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, no wonder Brother Sanshi is enjoying the joy of family now, I am afraid that Brother Sanshi will not stay in Bianjing for a long time after the New Year." Since Su Xun knew that Zhao Lei proposed to show the navy, he had already keenly felt that Zhao Lei might not stay in Bianjing for long, so he had no objection to Zhao Lei's recent daily nesting in Zhao Mansion to enjoy Wencun.
"Yes! The officials and the imperial court have made all kinds of preparations, the 20 million taels of silver from the household department have been prepared, and the documents of the Privy Council have also been prepared, and as long as the officials in charge of this matter arrive in Guangzhou, they can recruit coastal soldiers, build all kinds of warships and naval bases, and start the affairs of the navy, and the person in charge of this matter must be me, the one who proposed the plan to develop the navy. Facing Su Xun, Zhao Lei said with a wry smile.
"Guangzhou! As expected, the three major ports of the Great Song Dynasty, Mingzhou is specially to the north, and the ports are mostly ships to and from Japan, Goryeo and Liao, while Quanzhou is the largest transit port, only Guangzhou is close to Liuqiu and Qiongzhou, and the closest to Mayi, which is the best place to show the water army. At this time, Su Xun took out a coastal map of the Great Song Dynasty from the thick official document in his hand, looked at the mountains, rivers and seas above and said to Zhao Lei.
"Gentle Township is a hero's mound! I have lived in the bustling place of Bianjing for a long time, and I don't want to stay away, it seems that I am a lot lazy! Zhao Lei didn't care about Su Xun's words, and sighed and said in a low voice.
Zhao Lei knew that some things could not be avoided, such as the various things in the navy in front of him, since Zhao Lei proposed it, he had secretly had the consciousness of staying away from Bianjing. But suddenly I was reluctant to bustle Bianjing.
……
Just when Zhao Lei was enjoying the joy of family in Zhao's mansion, a large-scale search and arrest was going on in the entire Bianjing.
Zhao Lei's assassination made the official Zhao Zhen furious, and the strong bow has always been a prohibited weapon forbidden in the Northern Song Dynasty, and this forbidden weapon actually appeared in Bianjing twenty-four at once, and it was also used to assassinate important ministers of the imperial court. Such a serious matter couldn't help but make the official Zhao Zhen start to think, if someone stabbed him with a strong bow, wouldn't he be in danger of living at all times.
Under the anger of the official Zhao Zhen, the imperial court began to thoroughly investigate how the twenty-four strong bows flowed into Bianjing and how they reached the hands of the assassins, and the generals of the forbidden army who were responsible for the security and defense of Bianjing were even more affected, and a large number of generals were directly demoted to serve in the border army by the official Zhao Zhen who was in a bad mood.
In the Bianjing Imperial Palace. The official Zhao Zhen and the eight important ministers of the imperial court were discussing the matter of preparing to build a navy, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty did not pay attention to the importance of the navy before, which made the Great Song Dynasty navy weak for hundreds of years, and now wants to build it. It's not something that happens overnight, and you need to be cautious.
"What has Zhao Lei been doing lately?" The official Zhao Zhen also knew that Zhao Lei understood the meaning of the imperial court, so he did not disturb his temporary peaceful life, and just waited for the New Year to pass, and everything was ready. Then let Zhao Lei set off for Guangzhou.
"Lord Zhao has been staying at home recently, and it seems that he is enjoying the joy of family, but Weichen thinks. Lord Zhao may not be willing to go to Guangzhou after the New Year, after all, Lord Zhao has issued an official document to the armies of the Great Song Dynasty states through the Privy Council, what kind of Spring Games of the Great Song Dynasty Army is going to be held, and now what sports field is still being built in the north of Bianjing City, I heard that Lord Zhao is going to promote some elites in the army through this sports meeting, and if this matter is not done, I am afraid that Lord Zhao will not leave Bianjing! Chen Yaozuo immediately came out and said to the official Zhao Zhen.
"Spring Games! I knew about it, and I agreed. However, this sports meeting will start in March and end in June, for such a long time, I can't wait, what good ideas do you have to let Zhao Lei go to Guangzhou in advance! The official Zhao Zhen pondered for a while and said to His Royal Highness's important ministers.
"Back to the official's house! Lord Zhao held this sports meeting, undoubtedly for the imperial court to select talents, which is equivalent to the army's martial arts, this kind of thing does not need Lord Zhao to ask in person, as long as the official family sends a new army training deputy envoy to assist Lord Zhao, all the troubles will be solved! After knowing that Zhao Lei was leaving the new army, he had been thinking about how to install the next person of his own in the new army, and when he heard the words of the official Zhao Zhen, he immediately came out and said loudly.
How could other important ministers not know Wang Zeng's intentions, they had also been jealous of the huge amount of money in the logistics yamen of the new army for a long time, so they all supported Wang Zengdi's intentions, in their opinion, once their people could serve as deputy envoys for the training of the new army, and Zhao Lei left Bianjing, the new army was not in their hands at that time, and the silver of the logistics yamen of the new army was not up to them to squander.
"Finding someone to help Zhao Aiqing manage the new army, this is a good solution! But I don't want Zhao Aiqing to have any misunderstanding, thinking that I want to deprive him of his rights, this person can only help Zhao Aiqing manage the new army, and I also want to reassure Zhao Aiqing, I don't want the most important courtier, there is a pimple in my heart, thinking that my chest is intolerant! The official Zhao Zhen said indifferently to the civil and military officials below.
"It's better to transfer Fan Zhongyan Fan back to Bianjing to serve as the deputy envoy of the new army, Lord Fan has a good relationship with Lord Zhao, and is familiar with military affairs, Lord Zhao is absolutely assured that Lord Fan will manage the affairs of the new army for him." Yan Shu had already thought of the best candidate before the official Zhao Zhen's voice fell, and hurriedly came out and said.
After Yan Shu's words were finished, the other civil and military officers scolded in their hearts, you must know that among the civil and military officials of the new army controlled by Zhao Lei, Han Qi, the deputy envoy of the new army, and Ouyang Xiu, the official of the newspaper yamen, are all Yan Shu's protégés, and now let Yan Shu insert another proud protégé Fan Zhongyan, this new army and the new army logistics yamen, isn't it Yan Shu's back garden.
Although the Chinese Wu of the palace wanted to oppose it, but after thinking about it, there was no suitable candidate to serve as the deputy envoy of the new army training, and he would not be pushed by Zhao Lei, you must know that Zhao Lei has been low-key in Bianjing since he got the new official Feihuang Tengda, and his friends are even less pitiful, so that these people could not find anyone accepted by Zhao Lei as the deputy envoy of the new army training in a hurry.
Thinking that Lu Yijian had been demoted out of Beijing, and Fan Zhongyan, who was not in agreement with Lu Yijian, it was time to return to Bianjing, thinking of this, the official Zhao Zhen nodded and agreed to Yan Shu's request, and then a holy decree was issued, which set the subsequent fate of Fan Zhongyan and Zhao Lei.
