When Tang Shun heard that Fan Ning was coming, he hurriedly came to the gate of the camp to greet him, and the two greeted each other, Tang Shun immediately took Fan Ning to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhao Zhongzhen had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Fan Ning, Zhao Zhongzhen hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Uncle Fan......."

Fan Ning hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, glanced back at Tang Shun, and Tang Shun hurriedly retreated.

When he turned around and went out, there was a shock on his face that could not be concealed, he heard it clearly, King Liangjun actually called Fan Ning uncle, this is too shocking, if Zhao Zhongzhen ascends the throne in the future, then Fan Ning .......

He walked out of the big tent with a lot of worries, and Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Your Highness is not frightened by the riot!" ”

Zhao Zhongzhen shook his head, "They came too suddenly, and they surrounded the big tent at once, I had just come out of the big tent at that time, so I was lucky not to be surrounded." ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "It's not a fluke, they are just waiting for His Highness to leave before they start to surround the tent." ”

Zhao Zhongzhen's face was suddenly full of shock and said, "You mean that this matter is premeditated and organized?" ”

Fanning nodded, "We all underestimated the seriousness of eating empty money before, I only learned yesterday that a small commander can be greedy for tens of thousands of military expenses in a few years, and they are now not only facing the situation of being held accountable, but also the pain of losing a large amount of income since then. ”

Zhao Zhongzhen sighed, "I'm writing the fourth report to the emperor's grandfather, and I'm going to write about the problem of eating empty money, but I don't know how to start." ”

"It's simple, reveal the problem, then fix it."

Fan Ning took out a few documents from his leather bag and handed them to Zhao Zhongzhen, "These are some facts that should be explained by Cao Official, the military household of Tianfuxiang, as well as the list of empty soldiers, I think it is very typical, Your Highness can write them into the report as a revelation." ”

Zhao Zhongzhen was overjoyed, he just lacked actual cases, and Fan Ning sent these materials to send charcoal in the snow.

He asked, "What about solving the problem?" ”

"There are two directions to solve the problem: first, the other party is willing to repent and rehabilitate, promise not to commit it again, and clear the empty money that has been occupied; However, if the amount involved is very small, as long as you guarantee that you will not commit it, you can also directly not be blamed in the past; The second is today's situation, which directly takes advantage of the opportunity of retiring overage soldiers to incite soldiers who do not understand the truth to make trouble, and this situation must be severely punished by thunderous means. ”

"Thunder means?" Zhao Zhongzhen muttered, he was obviously a little hesitant.

Fan Ning knew that most of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were benevolent monarchs, and they lacked iron-blooded spirit in their bones, but many times, without taking out thunderbolt methods, the law change could not be implemented at all.

He groaned and said, "The gold medal for the transfer of troops by the Son of Heaven is in the hands of His Highness, right!" ”

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded, and took out the gold medal for troop transfer given to him by the emperor's grandfather before leaving, and the emperor's grandfather also told him that if the situation was critical, this gold medal could be directly handed over to Fan Ning to use.

Fan Ning glanced at the gold medal and said, "Since the Son of Heaven gave you this gold medal, he is allowing you to use the thunderbolt method. ”

"But...... It seems that the time has not yet come to use the Thunderbolt method. ”

Fanning smiled and shook his head, "I still remember how I told you before, the change is that you are answering the question, everything you do is the answer, you not only have to show the Son of Heaven your wise side, the generous side, but also show your iron-blooded and decisive side, this is one of the answers you need to write, I was worried before, I couldn't find such an opportunity to show your iron and blood, now that the opportunity has come, what are you hesitating about?" You can't get the strength of iron and blood, how can you let the Son of Heaven rest assured that he will hand over the country to you? ”

Zhao Zhongzhen understood, and he asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's very simple, you take this gold medal and order Tang Shun to send troops, surround the camp of the Xiang army, ask hundreds of troublesome soldiers to come out and surrender, and promise not to hold them accountable, otherwise they will not be left behind, and then they will be strictly interrogated, and those behind the scenes will be held accountable, and they will be killed to make an example of monkeys!"

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded, "I understand!" ”

Fanning smiled again: "Put on the armor to carry out this operation." ”

.........

Zhao Zhongzhen was instructed by Fan Ning and secretly instructed, he used the gold medal for troop transfer, and the 10,000 forbidden troops were quickly mobilized, Zhao Zhongzhen wore armor and led 10,000 forbidden troops to surround the camp of the Xiang army, and issued an ultimatum to the soldiers who participated in the riot in the camp, asking these soldiers to ensure the safety of the envoys, and to limit them to lay down their arms and surrender within half an hour, so that they can not be blamed in the past, otherwise they will be sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion, and the whole family will be involved.

There were more than 400 soldiers in the Tent of the Reform Group, all of whom were over forty years old, and they were instigated to think that the compensation given by the imperial court was too low and seriously infringed on their interests, and demanded that the reform be stopped immediately, otherwise they would contact other military camps and openly resist the tyranny.

More than 400 people did not dare to really rush into the tent to kill people, they sat on the ground, surrounded the five inspectors in the tent, and demanded that the envoy must reply to their pleas within twelve hours.

Most of these 400 people are veterans who have been in the army for more than ten or even twenty years, they are sitting on the ground, some are sleeping, some are bragging and chatting, some are sitting and drinking, and even many people are setting up stalls to gamble, surrounded by a large crowd of people, in them, there is no ambition and pride in them to see the generosity and sorrow.

At this time, someone ran up and shouted: "It's terrible, the forbidden army has surrounded the barracks, and we must go out and surrender within half an hour, otherwise the whole family will be killed for the crime of rebellion!" ”

The news spread quickly, and more than 400 people were stunned, and soon complained to each other that they did not want to participate in the trouble, and they were all killed by the other party.

Soon there were smart people who ran out of the barracks, it was always good to surrender first, some people led the surrender, and the others couldn't sit still, so they got up and ran outside the barracks, although some of the soldiers kept shouting: "Don't be fooled, stick to the end, you will succeed soon!" ”

But it was useless, no soldier wanted to be killed by the whole family, it was not worth it to be killed for some petty profits, only a moment, more than 400 people ran to only a dozen people, and the last person saw that the situation was not good, and stomped his feet and ran in the direction of the camp.

A farce was quickly quelled, more than 400 veterans were stripped of their military uniforms, one by one, barefoot, squatting on the ground in white middle coats, all looking panicked, looking from a distance, like soldiers surrounding a large flock of white geese.

Zhao Zhongzhen didn't expect that it would be solved so easily, and he also used 10,000 forbidden soldiers, it was a lot of thunder and a small raindrop, he only understood now, what Fan Ning meant by building momentum, using the forbidden army, the key is to build momentum, in a few days, he Zhao Zhongzhen led 10,000 forbidden troops to suppress the news of the troublemaking veterans will spread all over the capital.

"Fan Yuanjun, what should we do now?" Zhao Zhongzhen asked in a low voice again.

"Wait!"

Fan Ning said coldly: "Wait for the generals inside to come out, arrest them all, and then interrogate them strictly, and behead the masterminds and organizers behind the scenes with the Son of Heaven Sword to show the public!" ”

Zhao Zhongzhen felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he still nodded, he knew that he was too young, and these things had to be arranged by Fan Ning.

Not long after, the Xiang army commanded Yang Zhuqing to lead more than a dozen generals to come out to ask for guilt, they knelt in front of Zhao Zhongzhen, and Yang Zhuqing said loudly: "The lowly management of the army is not strict, resulting in some lawless soldiers using the law messenger as a hostage to confront the Xiang army, thanks to His Royal Highness's timely arrival, quell the incident, and humiliate to His Highness to ask for guilt!" ”

How nice he said, it's not that he doesn't care, but that the other party has hostages in their hands, and they don't dare to care.

Zhao Zhongzhen snorted coldly, "It's good for you to know your guilt, come on!" Arrest them. ”

The forbidden army swarmed up, knocked down more than a dozen generals, and tied them up, Yang Zhuqing suddenly saw Fan Ning, he suddenly understood in his heart, and shouted anxiously: "Your Highness, don't be instigated by others, there is no intention of rebellion in your humble position, Your Highness, your humble position has been innocent, please Your Highness is clear!" ”

Fanning stepped forward and said coldly to a group of generals with earthy faces: "The military camps everywhere are disobedient, and they just need a few chickens to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and you send them to the door yourself, who is to blame?" ”

Fan Ning's words shattered everyone's luck psychology, and the generals shouted one after another, "It was all arranged by Yang Zhuqing, he embezzled the military and blackmailed the soldiers, we have evidence and are willing to expose it!" ”

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when the disaster comes, they are not husband and wife, but a group of drinking friends who call brothers and sisters at the wine table.
