Chapter 30: Confession
Just when the envoys of the Song and Jin Dynasty were rushing to and fro on the road, Tong Guan, a powerful figure who advocated the recovery of Yanyun, could not get out in the south because of the suppression of Fang La, and no one dared to lead the troops. Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao immediately felt the crisis, if they wanted to send someone to lead the army, the most suitable person now was Prince Yan, because they didn't want to, it was not easy to get people in Beijing, and then let him lead the troops to attack Liao, wouldn't it be no different from letting the tiger return to the mountain?
The southeast was initially decided, Fang La was captured, if Tong Guan was transferred back to Beijing to preside over the Liao, but also made Liang and Wang unhappy, and now Tong Guan has made great contributions, and the title of Taishi is only in front of him, then his power will exceed that of Cai Jing before, and he has one more opponent in the court, which is not what the two are happy to see, of course, he has a negative attitude towards the matter of Lianjin and Liao, and even wants to bring down Tong Guan, then his power will rise higher, and even infiltrate into the army, becoming a big man integrating politics and the army, which is incomparable to Cai Jingjing.
However, the matter of cutting down Liao can be slowed down, but chaos has been born in the northwest, and Wang Hao also knows that the situation there is made by his own subordinates, and if there is another 'northwest people's uprising', I am afraid that the prime minister's position that he has just covered up will not be able to be saved. At this moment, the only one who has the ability to deal with the northwest is Prince Yan, this is a proposition of choosing one of the two, Wang Hao is not stupid, and naturally knows the truth of choosing the lesser of two evils...
Another reason that prompted Wang Hao to finally make up his mind to recommend Prince Yan was the voice of the officials in the court, and now not only the officials in Beijing, but also several members of the Standing Committee also followed suit, singing praises to Prince Yan, he was a little irresistible, considering the ambiguity of the emperor and the attitude of his colleagues. Although Wang Hao didn't want to, he could only do so. But he doesn't intend to let things go, he still has to take some necessary measures...
On May 20, the Standing Committee of the Great Song Dynasty unanimously decided to suspend the invasion of Liao, and in order to stabilize the northwest and build the northwest, the leadership group was adjusted, and Zhao Ta, the prince of Yan, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong, Hezhong and Shaanxi, Nie Shan was the prefect of Taiyuan and the envoy of the Hedong Economic and Strategic System, and Zhang Wei, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, was appointed as the Hedong transfer envoy....; Gao favored the doctor of the guard, the founder of the country, the horse in front of the palace, and the infantry army are all marquis; Zhao Ren awarded the doctor of the central guard. The founding son, the commander of Tianwu Weidu; Zhao Zhong awarded the right military doctor and the envoy of the Hedong Army; Zhao Lian awarded Doctor Zuowu, deputy governor of the Volcanic Army on Hedong Lan Road; Why not go to the general doctor, the founding uncle, and the province to give things; Xu Hongzhi Lingzhou, Liu Zi'an Zhidengzhou, and Shen Songyue were the Taiyuan Weapons Supervisors and Young Supervisors. The archers of the various Tibetan tribes and the generals and colonels of the loyal and brave army at all levels were rewarded, and many people were transferred to the forbidden army and the state army!
Zhao Ta looked at the edict and smiled bitterly. Wang Huang is really bad enough, not only dismantling his core leadership into pieces, the loyal army has lost nearly 100 grassroots officers, but also transferring many officials who cannot be tolerated by him to the northwest, most of whom can be classified as 'Qing officials'.
The more the Qing officials pursue the strict implementation of the suppressed and distorted laws, the more they will incite the resistance of power, morality, and human feelings, and it is impossible for such clean officials to escape the shroud of power, morality, and human feelings. It's just that the self-requirements of the Qing officials are higher, and after entering the northwest, I don't know if Lu Dao will go against him.
After Zhao Ta received the edict, he wanted to enter the palace as usual to thank him, but he turned this serious matter into a farce, first staged a parting drama in the queen's palace, and then held a grievance meeting in the palace, anyone can see how much Prince Yan does not want to leave Beijing, just wants to be a free prince. And the emperor left his seat several times with good words and persuasion, and constantly made wishes and authorizations. Only then did Prince Yan agree to the matter and stop crying.
This edict also had time for Zhao Ta to leave Beijing within ten days to take up his post, leaving him a very tight time, but fortunately he had a plan and immediately arranged the aftermath. He divided the national business into four parts. Jiangnan is called Shengdetang, and Zheng Fu is in charge. took over the Xiangyi Wangfu workshop and the Shengyitang business scattered in the south of the Yangtze River; Jiangbei is still called Shengyitang, including all the business in Hebei and Gyeonggi area, which is managed by Zheng Shou, the governor of the Bianjing Palace; The Hezhong, Hexi, and Western Regions regions are called Shenghetang, and Zhang is the chief manager; Hedong and Liao, said that Shengrentang took Sun Erqian as the general manager, transferred Zheng Lu as the deputy general manager to take over the Taiyuan Workshop, and Liu Song as the deputy general manager in charge of the Liao business; Overseas was changed to Shengzhongtang, with Cheng Xishou as the general manager, and the third field squadron of the guard battalion was transferred to the Shengzhongtang armed escort team, and Ma Wei was the captain of the escort team; The Xiangyi Royal Mansion was changed into a separate courtyard, and Yang Feng was still the chief manager, Xiao Yu was the head of the community, and Feng Xi was transferred to the head of the Beijing Palace. …,
After arranging everything, Zhao Ta left the plum garden, walked to the open garden accompanied by Jianxi, and just entered the garden, he saw Zhu Shuzhen sitting alone under the porch, staring blankly at the half moon in the air. Zhao Ta's heart hurt for no reason, it is said that the two are still in the honeymoon, but he can't find the feeling of being a newlywed Yan'er, like glue, but in order to cover people's eyes and ears, he has to act on the spot and put on a happy appearance in front of outsiders, and when no one is around, the two really respect each other, speak politely, and never have intimacy.
"Zhen'er, it's night, go back to the house and rest!" Zhao Ta stepped forward and said.
"Lord Wang, the concubine wants to sit outside for a while, can you accompany me?" Zhu Shuzhen gave a blessing and said softly.
"Good!" Looking at Zhu Shuzhen's increasingly haggard face, Zhao Ta couldn't bear to refuse, took off his cloak and put it on for her, and sat down next to her.
"The prince is about to leave Beijing, and the concubine has already sorted out the things that the prince needs, tomorrow to see what is still missing, and the concubine will be added!" Zhu Shuzhen's body trembled, the prince had never had such an intimate act towards him, and he glanced at the prince in surprise and said softly.
"Thank you princess, this time I caused you to live alone in the capital!" Zhao Ta smiled bitterly and sighed, this time when he left Beijing, the emperor did not mention that he would take him to the post with his dependents, so he could not take her to the northwest with him.
"Lord Wang, tell Niangniang again, let the concubine serve the prince with her!" Zhu Shuzhen looked at Zhao Ta and said, it also knew that it was hopeless, but it still had a trace of luck,
"Alas, don't be embarrassed for your mother, Beijing officials are not allowed to take office with their dependents, I know the northwest as a prince, it is an exception, there is no reason for this, I will return to Beijing when the northwest settles down!" Zhao Ta shook his head and said, this rule is that he is not at ease with officials, he is hostage to his family, and there are more people who are not at ease with him, there is no way to make sense, Zhu Shuzhen was sad and cried, Zhao Ta could only comfort softly, in fact, only he understood in his heart that once he left this time, he would not know the Year of the Monkey when he came back......
"It's the concubine's request that is excessive, I will wait for the prince to come back in Beijing with peace of mind!" Zhu Shuzhen said with a cheerful face.
"Well, in the future, the affairs in the house will depend on you to take care of, now I have a lot of enemies in Beijing, they will not treat you before the wedding, but after we get married, I will leave the capital beyond the whip, and those villains will probably have to put the account on you, so try to go out as little as possible, so as not to give birth to right and wrong, and what to do after I return to Beijing!" Zhao Ta said apologetically that he had achieved his goal after a lot of tossing, but the consequences had to be borne by an innocent weak woman, which seemed to be too unmanly.
"Where did the prince say, we are both husband and wife and one, the prince doesn't have to feel guilty about this, the concubine knows that the prince is doing great things for the country and the people, and he is a hero who stands up to the sky, how can the concubine be afraid of those small things and lose the face of the prince!" Zhu Shuzhen looked up at the prince and said.
"Hehe, I really have such a pride, it's really a woman who doesn't let me shave my eyebrows, which impresses me!" Zhao Ta didn't expect Zhu Shuzhen to say such a thing, and couldn't help but praise.
"So the prince has always thought that the concubine was a weak woman who needed others to decide everything?" Zhu Shuzhen said angrily.
"Well, I'm relieved in that case, but there are some things I have to tell you!" Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, he also wanted to see if this poet full of fantasy and passion could take responsibility, "The long history of the mansion was sent by the Imperial City Division to monitor me in the mansion, and the old man Liu in the gatehouse, the cook Li Ma who washed vegetables in the kitchen, and the Wang Steward of the Ji Division were all eyeliner placed by him. Nian Jiu, who drove the car, was a person from the East Palace, and Cao Hui from the flower garden was a spy from the Prime Minister's Mansion... In addition, in addition to the Silk Village and Baiwei Building, which are the properties of the Fuzhong on the street in front of the house, there are seven or eight out of ten shops arranged by people from all over the place to monitor our palace, so you must always be careful when you do things and speak in the future, and you must not let them grab the handle! ”…,
"Huh?!" Zhu Shuzhen exclaimed, "Lord Wang, wouldn't our every move in the mansion be under the surveillance of others!" ”
"Yes, what we eat and do every day, and where I sleep every day will be monitored, so don't take it lightly, even the people around me can't tell everything!" Zhao Ta nodded.
"Can't you even say who I brought from my mother's house?" Zhu Shuzhen didn't expect these things to happen in the house, it was really shocking.
"The nurse next to you is a spy, she has long been bribed, but I didn't mention it to you for fear of causing your misunderstanding!" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile.
"Ah, the nurse has been by my side since she was a child, and she loves me the most, how can she betray me?" Zhu Shuzhen still refused to believe and defended her.
"Alas, people die for money, birds die for food, originally she had a monthly money of five guan yuan per month in Zhu Mansion, plus the annual reward is only a hundred guan, if someone places a twenty-hectare Zhuangzi for her in her hometown, and allows her son to be an eight-grade official, and as long as she reports to her what I have told you, what I do every day, and what I have seen and what people have said, do you think she will do it?" Zhao Ta sighed.
"Lord Wang, how do you know these things?" Zhu Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, still hard to believe, but the prince was not bad at all, the nurse's monthly money is indeed five times, and she once said that she would go home to retire in a few more years, and she would also live the life of an official family.
