Chapter Seventy-Seven: Volume II

"Instigating your head," Zhao Kuangyi was angry, and gave Song Jiu a few punches when he came up. Of course it's not a real fight, and he doesn't have Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts and strength, but due to genetic factors, Zhao Kuangyi is not small, and Song Jiu was a little hurt after a few punches, and shouted: "Second king, don't fight, don't fight, have something to say." ”

"Ning Ji, come over and tell him the situation, tell him the truth!" Zhao Kuangyi stopped and said. Sometimes this kid is as good as a ghost, and sometimes he is more confused than anyone else. But because the royal brother told him to pay attention, and he used to pay attention, the people outside more or less classified this kid as their own. This kid is bold and thief, if he doesn't explain it clearly to him, he may make a big joke in the future.

This is a behind-the-scenes thing, but there are many people who know the Tao and can make it public, Zhao Kuangyi asked Shi Xizai to tell Song Jiu the truth, and let Song Jiu understand, and deliberately said three words, truthfully.

Of course, Shi Xizai, as Zhao Kuangyi's confidant, will speak very tactfully, but he will talk about it, Song Jiu will listen to it, Shi Xizai will talk about it, and Song Jiu will think about it according to some historical knowledge in his memory and some things he has heard from the ya.

The first thing Shi Xizai talked about was the grievance between Zhao Kuangyi and Zhang Qiong.

It is rumored that Empress Dowager Du had made a golden alliance with Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu before her death, that is pure nonsense, if there is such a thing, from now on, Zhao Dezhao is getting older, Zhao Kuangyin will have already strangled this second brother, instead of staring at it later.

But the old lady likes the second child is useless, there is no doubt.

Besides, I am afraid that the affairs of the Chai family will be staged again, Zhao Kuangyin sometimes goes out to lead the troops to fight, and the capital needs an adult relative to sit in charge, so that there will be no worries. Ninety-nine points 9999 percent of the matter of the Golden Kui Alliance is fake, but the old lady is afraid that she said something similar, so that Zhao Kuangyin, who is the eldest brother, will take care of Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyin intended to support Zhao Kuangyi to the upper position, but Zhao Guangyi's official position was very small at that time, relying on his brother's light, he was named the Marquis of the Inner Temple by Chai Rong, and the worship official knew how much role Zhao Kuangyi played in the Chenqiao Mutiny, Shi Zaixi did not say, there were many rumors among the people, and Song Jiu did not know whether it was true or false.

It was the old lady's chatter that Zhao Kuangyin promoted Zhao Guangyi to the palace capital, and then added Murong Yanzhao, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and others to the official transfer. In this way, Zhao Guangyi jumped from a low-level guard officer to the supreme commander of the front division of the palace.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du smiled and let go of the world, but a new problem appeared, although Zhao Kuangyin supported Zhao Kuangyi to take the position, he could Zhao Kuangyi's rights, but he could not force the hearts of thousands of proud soldiers and fierce generals trained since the founding of Chai Rong.

Think about how many brave generals there are in the forbidden army, now the Northern Song Dynasty is not short of generals, but there are too many famous generals, and generals like Yin Chongke can find at least more than 100. Another example is Zhang Qiong's rivals Shi Qi and Shi Hanqing, who are also two tiger generals, because there were too many famous generals in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and neither of them could be ranked.

And since the replacement of the five generations has developed some bad habits, these generals are more arrogant than the other, Zhao Kuangyin is too powerful, in Chuzhou 5,000 to break the Southern Tang Emperor Fuhui 100,000 soldiers and horses, the Southern Tang Dynasty still has the danger of Qingliu Pass to defend, Yangzhou battle, 2,000 Li Jingda 20,000, cut 5,000 people, the rest are killed for fleeing for their lives, only 3,000 people can escape back to Jiangnan.

They can serve Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyin grew up drinking human blood, you grew up eating milk, a herbivore, how to govern us? Zhao Kuangyi made many jokes during that time, the old lady also died, no one chattered, and Zhao Kuangyin took back Zhao Kuangyi's military power. This thing is too dazzling, when the son killed Lao Tzu in the fifth generation, the elder brother and the elder brother, there were too many things for his subordinates to kill the chief, and then he promoted his henchman Zhang Qiong to be the capital of the palace.

Shi Xizai would not say this, but said that His Royal Highness was not familiar with military affairs because he had no military experience, and because he was still young, although he was extremely talented, he was slightly mistaken.

The predecessor Zhao Kuangyi didn't do a good job, Zhang Qiong came, he couldn't follow Xiao Gui Cao, plus he was born as a military general and had a bold personality, such as some people who were offended by him commented that he had a violent temperament and didn't know how to be flexible, and many people were suppressed, but if they didn't do this, what did the army become? No matter how much you do favors, you can't use the army as favors.

Most of what Zhao Kuangyi left behind was a mess, so some of his practices and words offended Zhao Kuangyi. This made some of Zhao Kuangyi's subordinates dissatisfied, including his brother-in-law Fu Zhaoshou, Fu Zhaoshou did not dare to trouble Zhang Qiong directly, it was to find a draw, but he often had conflicts with Zhang Qiong's son Zhang Lin. Not only Fu Zhaoshou, but also some of the second ancestors, also had discord with Zhang Linduo for this reason, or some other reasons.

Shi Xizai also said that Zhang Qiong was violent and inorganic, and he was very aggressive, but in fact, Song Jiu heard that Zhang Qiong had sold his life for Zhao Kuangyin, and he was not afraid of offending people, and he had to guard the forbidden army well. He did a good job, but he didn't delve into the art of power schemes, Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhang Qiong to guard the forbidden army, which was to pressure them not to make trouble, not to brand the forbidden army with a single character.

Then there were Shi Qi and Shi Hanqing.

They are all deputy heads of the forbidden army, very high military schools, equivalent to the rank of colonel and major general in the military in later generations. Shi Zaixi first said that Shi Jue was appreciated by Zhao Kuangyin for his bravery in battle, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and appointed him as the captain of the imperial horse, and then in a short period of time he was promoted to the deputy head of the Mabu Army and the commander of the big sword. Shi Xizai said it in such detail, it was to pave the way for the future, Shi Shi and the others were not Zhao Kuangyi's people, but Zhao Kuangyin's people. Let Song Jiu understand that Zhao Kuangyi is not a sinister villain, anything happened to Zhang Qiong, it has nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyin is the first person responsible, or there are others, but Zhao Kuangyi cannot be misunderstood. "My own people" must be made clear.

There is a reason why he rose so fast, Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, everything had to be restrained, it seemed that he was more well-informed, but the news he got was true and false, but it was not as credible as the news he heard when he was drunk in the army before.

Therefore, let Shi Shi and the two secretly investigate, some of them are right, Zhao Kuangyin dealt with them one by one, and some Zhao Kuangyin handled them improperly, for example, once Shi Jue learned that a businessman sold goods to the government at a high price, this problem is not so simple, the first businessman is to make a fortune in the country, and the second is to know that the high-priced officials in Lang Dao bought what they wanted, he wanted to investigate, but was stopped by Zhao Kuangyin.

But Shi Jue is not so selfless, Liang Mengsheng became the assassin of Texas, many of Guo Gui's relatives and family members were traitors in Texas for profit, Liang Mengsheng was brought to justice one by one, Guo Gui and Shi Jue were friendly, Shi Jue made slanderous remarks in front of Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin heard that Liang Mengsheng was promoted to Doctor Zanshan. Shi Xizai said: "The saint is wise. ”

In short, over the years, Shi Shi and the two have done some good things, and they have also done some bad things, and they are a little selfish, and they are not without gain, and the biggest shortcoming is that they are good and kind to their subordinates. But helplessly, Zhao Kuangyin used their intentions to be the eyes and ears of the emperor, and it was inevitable that they would make mistakes in judgment.

When Song Jiu heard this, he suddenly thought of some words, spy, Jinyiwei, East and West Factory.

And also understood another thing, and said carefully: "The art of balance? ”

"Song Jiu, you're thinking nonsense again," Shi Xizai hit a Ha Lu Ha Dao, which is actually a balancing technique, Zhang Qiong rectified the forbidden army, and was selfish and unfair, but this made Zhao Kuangyin not very relieved, so he supported Shi Shi and the two to confront Zhang Qiong.

Zhang Qiong is a rough person, she didn't think about it, and she looked down on them for repeatedly making small reports behind their backs, thinking that this was a villain's behavior, and had conflicts with them many times, and even scolded them for witches. Shi Shi and the others also hated Zhang Qiong more and more, and kept making small reports. The confrontation between the two sides is like Liu Luoguo and He Kun on TV, Zhao Kuangyin's goal has been achieved, but the two have become bigger.

Shi Xizai didn't need to say any more, Song Jiu also understood.

Zhang Qiong has a high level and some old friends, and his strength cannot be underestimated, but Shi Shi and the two have Zhao Kuangyin's support, because Zhang Qiong's character, although he has old friends, but not much, maybe because he has offended Zhao Kuangyi, some forces close to Zhao Kuangyi will also secretly support Shi Shi. The three of them have secretly fought evenly over the years, regardless of victory or defeat.

happened to admire Zhang Qiong's bravery, and saw that Zhang Lin was in a weak position in the ya, so he had some sympathy, so he unintentionally walked closer, and saw that the Zhang family was so poor that he only took out 100 yuan, so he simply did good deeds and borrowed 600 yuan to Zhang Lin.

Zhang Qiong wants to save face, where will he receive the benefits of a nobody, but the share deed is established, and he can't regret it, so he borrowed money everywhere, and this matter shook a little. This is a trend, and I rolled myself into it.

Shi Xizai explained a few more things.

Song Jiu didn't get much money in the share deed, the difference was too big, and there were still ways, such as raising shares from the river, and blindly cheap Yanei. But Hezhong is too poor, and although there are many households, it is estimated that they will not be able to raise considerable money. In fact, it was even worse than Song Jiu imagined.

The Yanai are friendly with Song Jiu, and this parent will not object.

But doing business in partnership and headed by Song Jiu, what will these Yanei parents think? Replaced by Pan Mei and Fu Yanqing's children, it is almost the same. One is not necessarily optimistic about the prospects, and the other does not want their children to live under Song Jiu. If it weren't for the Zhao brothers secretly making do with Song Jiu, the result would have been even worse.

It is precisely some extremely smart people who look at the face of the Zhao brothers, plus the children want to join, it doesn't matter, if they don't give Song Jiu face, they have to give the emperor a son, so they took thousands of dollars to let them play tickets. The remaining hundreds of yuan are not the money from their families, but their own private money taken out by these yamen. Now there are more than 70 Yanai in Song Jiu's shares, and only seven Yanai are really recognized by the whole family, including the Pan family!

Shi Xizai looked at Song Jiu with a smile.

That means you still have a play.

Song Jiu also smiled awkwardly. This is a fortunate thing in misfortune, but the real situation Tian will not tell outsiders, God knows what she wants when she agrees with her son's shareholding.

Then he smiled bitterly, it turned out that in front of these lookouts, he was this impression.

But after a while, he remembered that this was not the late Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had just ended, and although the Five Dynasties had been chaotic for decades, people still retained some Tang Dynasty habits, including the degree of openness, including the Tang Dynasty's concept of door valves. However, with the implementation of various systems in the Song Dynasty and the reform of the imperial examination, a large number of children from poor families joined, and after a few decades, the concept of the family will become lighter and lighter. is not to talk about heroes by the door, but to talk about heroes by the imperial examination, and one by one they ran to the Jinshi list to catch their sons-in-law.

It is this concept of the door that Song Jiu's approach angered the two of them, at least one person, Shi Hanqing!
