Chapter 64: The Black Cauldron and the Careerist

Although Zhao Zheng accepted the apology of the Southern Tang people, he was not satisfied.

The apology is very sincere, and even a notice can be posted, and the posture of the Southern Tang people is very low. Compared with the previous rumors spread and the city was known, the effect of this apology was very limited, and only a few people knew about it.

In the minds of most of the people of Jinling, his image as an envoy of the Song Dynasty is still a frivolous disciple, a brave and ruthless bully, and the hatred of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Tang Dynasty is still very strict.

Got caught!

Zhao Zheng was very unhappy in his heart, and what was even more indignant was that he didn't know who was so vicious, spreading rumors behind his back, and maliciously slandering?

Huangfu Jixun or Zheng Wangfu? Or was it done by the Southern Tang court? Zhao Zheng secretly guessed in his heart.

Judging from Li Jing's attitude afterwards, it is not like Huangfu Jixun and Li Congjia did it, they don't need to take such a big risk and do such a meaningless thing.

If it is said that the Southern Tang side is embarrassed by the same enemy, it is even less like it, such a low-profile apology is somewhat embarrassing. Why did the Southern Tang Dynasty court bother to do such a "self-inflicted humiliation" thing?

There are other people!

Zhao Zheng clearly realized that it seemed that someone wanted to sow discord and deliberately provoke a conflict between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Smear yourself and embarrass Li Jing!

Who could this person be? Huainan's Li Chongjin?

Zhao Zheng was the first to suspect him, and he had received news long before he went south that Li Chongjin intended to unite with the Southern Tang Dynasty to raise troops against the Song Dynasty. Why didn't you hear a trace of wind after coming to Jinling? This is obviously abnormal, is Li Chongjin very careful, or is the Southern Tang side deliberately concealing it?

However, it is not necessarily, it is also possible for the Qian clan of Wu Yueguo, Quanzhou in southern Fujian, and even the Southern Han Dynasty, but all those whose interests are implicated are suspected. Even within the Southern Tang Dynasty, there may be people who want to fish in troubled waters. At the moment, the situation is unclear, and it is impossible to determine who it is, so it is not possible to act rashly.

At this time, a problem was exposed, the intelligence ability of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Tang Dynasty was too weak, and it was simply unable to provide corresponding intelligence information and necessary operational assistance, which was a serious shortcoming.

In fact, there were spies in the Southern Tang Dynasty before, but after all, the dynasty has changed, and it is questionable whether those people are willing to be loyal. What's more, these things were mainly in charge of Li Chongjin in Huainan Jiedu before, where did Zhao Kuangyin dare to use them again? Now it's time to think about it, it's time to install some new people.

Not only in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also in all parts of the Ten Kingdoms, in this era of constant disputes and melee among the Ten Kingdoms, if you want to know yourself and know your opponent, you must be in control, and the espionage cause must be at the forefront. When he returns to Bianliang, he must report to Zhao Kuangyin and let him pay attention to it.

Although he was pitted this time, the loss was not severe, and it was not for nothing. In fact, the excuse of returning to China as a coercion also successfully tested the bottom line of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing didn't have the courage and guts to break with the Song Dynasty, at least he was hesitant, otherwise he wouldn't apologize lightly. Knowing this, the degree of many things is easy to grasp!

However, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty are not vegetarians, they will be soft and tough. The front foot apologizes, and the back foot soft nails and dismounts come.

Li Jing canceled the originally planned welcome banquet on the grounds of physical discomfort, and made it clear that he would not see himself before his birthday and would hang himself.

In this way, he gave an explanation to the subjects of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that he also intended to kill his prestige and sharpness, and then sent his two sons Li Congjia and Li Congshan to entertain him.

Coincidentally, my father's birthday has not yet arrived, but my son is going to celebrate his birthday first. On the seventh day of July, Li Congjia's birthday, a banquet was held in King Zheng's mansion to congratulate, and the invitation was sent to the protocol house.

"Zhao Shaoqing, this ...... Shall we go? ”

Nantang apologized, the truth of the Qinhuai River incident was revealed, Dong Zhongyan was ashamed, it turned out that Lord Zhao of Honglu Shaoqing was really righteous and brave! While Dong Zhongyan admired deeply, he was more afraid. I misunderstood Zhao Zheng before, and he was so ashamed to speak out, and he contradicted and slandered his boss twice.

Based on his previous misjudgment of the form, as well as his prejudice and contempt for Zhao Zheng being too young, Dong Zhongyan made a fatal mistake. Now that he saw Zhao Shaoqing furious, even the Southern Tang Dynasty court took the initiative to apologize, how could he dare to disagree with such a mighty situation? It's strange if you're not afraid. Therefore, now there is a big or small matter, and I don't dare to talk too much, all of which are based on Zhao Zheng.

"Go, why not?" Zhao Zheng smiled: "You prepare a gift and go to celebrate King Zheng's birthday!" ”

Li Yu likes to feast and drink, and it seems that it is true, so he just went to see it. Without intelligence support, I don't know anything about the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if I don't have close contact with the Southern Tang people, I will really be blind and deaf.

By the way, and his princess Zhou Ehuang, to what extent has the country been fragrant? That day was just a glimpse through the curtains, very regrettable, this time I don't know if there is a chance to see the face.

Zhao Zhengwu was free to "beat" Mrs. Li Congjia's idea, and did not remember the old saying "there is no good banquet"!

……

Han Wei was both worried and happy, worried that he was carrying the black pot, and he was "blackened by the pot".

Rumors spread everywhere, the city was full of wind and rain, by the Qinhuai River, the conflict between Zhao Zheng and Huangfu's family was reversed, and I heard such news in the early morning.

This move was ruthless, and it hit Zhao Zheng and Nantang at the same time, provoking confrontation and contradictions. As a bystander, he wanted to see that.

But...... He really didn't do it!

As soon as he heard the news, Han Wei knew that he was going to carry the black pot.

There are many people who think of themselves and think that they did it themselves, such as Huangfu Jixun. There is no shortage of wise people in Jinling, and they are likely to think of Huainan, which is very unfavorable for their next actions.

What he was most worried about was that Huangfu Jixun gave it all up, and if that straw bag still had a trace of sanity, he shouldn't do it. Even so, I still have some worries in my heart, in case ......

If Li Jing misunderstood, he would inadvertently be sure that he had bad intentions and deliberately provoked the confrontation and conflict between the Tang State and the Song Dynasty. It doesn't matter if it's a promising king, but a cowardly king like Li Jing who is timid and afraid of things is likely to arrest himself and hand it over to the people of the Song Dynasty......

Han Wei didn't want to die before he left the school, he regretted it a little, maybe his behavior last night was too risky. At the same time, he was also puzzled, who was behind the trouble? pit Zhao Zheng, pit Li Jing, and pit yourself!

At first, he suspected that it was Zhao Zheng, but if he thought about it carefully, Song Envoy had no reason to do this, it was completely unreasonable. The Southern Tang court would not either, and when he learned that the Tang State had apologized to Zhao Zheng and promised to track down the people who spread the rumors, he was sure.

Huangfu Jixun is safe and sound, and it seems that he did not stupidly confess himself, which is a blessing in misfortune. And he successfully persuaded Li Jing to hang Zhao Zheng for the time being, and he didn't see Song Envoy, which is an unexpected joy!

It is equivalent to setting aside an extra twenty days for himself, but Li Jing's attitude completely disappointed Han Wei, it is really not easy to swallow his anger like this when the people's grievances are so boiling. It seems that he is determined to be a nest emperor, and he can't count on it.

But after this incident, he also saw hope, it turned out that there were still ambitious people in the Southern Tang Dynasty, otherwise why would they spread rumors and muddy the waters? Don't you just want to fish in troubled waters?

Anyway, carry the black cauldron, carry the black cauldron, as long as you can find this careerist, you can solve it easily.

In fact, don't bother yourself, Han Wei believes that this person will definitely take the initiative to find the door, just wait!
