For the next ten days, Sun Ning has been "recuperating from his injuries". 33

Of course, it was in his own mansion, and after confirming that there was no danger, he was sent back to his mansion and then handed over to his wife and concubines to take care of.

Although it is inevitable that they will have close contact with those women, but fortunately, Sun Ning has an excuse at this time, and he can deal with it calmly, at least they can't see any problems in the short term.

In addition to being with Zhao Qianzhe's wife and concubines, Sun Ning also had contact with some other people in the past few days, all of whom were people who had supported him in his bid for the position of the prince before, such as Zhong Chucai, and for example, the middle-aged official named Wei Zeyuan who was sitting in front of him at this time.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone has the habit of coming to the door to post and ask for a meeting, otherwise Sun Ning wouldn't even know the identity and official position of the other party. Who would have thought that this middle-aged man, who looked polite and gentle, would actually be the criminal minister who is now in charge of the affairs of the entire Luoyang Criminal Prison.

Because the current Pingtian Army has not yet completely played the banner of establishing a separate imperial court, and Zhao Guangxiao has not really called the emperor, so the positions of officials at all levels under this temporary imperial court are naturally not suitable for the official imperial court, such as Shangshu Shilang or something.

So there is this somewhat vague position, obviously he is the head of the Criminal Department, but he is only called the chief of the Criminal Department, but his authority is greater than that of ordinary officials of the Criminal Department, and he can even manage the security of Luoyang and the crimes of the soldiers and horses in the city.

Zhao Qianzhe can have such a strong supporter, which also shows that he, or the Zhong family forces behind him, have a lot of influence in the Pingtian Army.

"Third Prince, about the eldest prince stabbing you in front of the General's Mansion, how do you think it should be safe?"

After greeting each other, Wei Zeyuan asked about the victim's attitude according to his identity.

It stands to reason that even if it is a big man like Zhao Qianhui who commits the crime, his criminal department still has a certain right to dispose of it, especially when the victim insists on it.

Sun Ning just shook his head: "This matter has passed, and my father has already punished my eldest brother, I don't want to expand the situation anymore." ”

"The third prince is going to forget it? In fact, in this matter, we can still strive for some benefits, such as Lord Zhong's side, who has always wanted to take care of the errand of household transfer......"

This is one of the key purposes of his visit today, taking advantage of this opportunity, he can make the forces behind Zhao Qianhui make concessions and take over the matter of transporting grain and straw for various armies.

Sun Ning had to sigh that these people were very sensitive, and just a small matter of sibling rivalry could be used by them to achieve the expansion of their own power.

Zhong Chucai had already held considerable financial power before, and if even such a great power as the transfer of military rations fell into his hands, then his status in the Pingtian Army would inevitably rise and become a truly indispensable big man.

As far as the meaning of Wei Zeyuan's words is concerned, it is obvious that this important power is actually in the hands of Zhao Qianhui's people.

So he quickly said, "I'm afraid they won't give up such an important position easily, right?" ”

"Naturally, it won't be in normal times, but if it is related to whether the eldest prince can successfully compete for the position of the prince in the future? The impact of this incident is quite large, only your attitude can determine the next situation of the eldest son. ”

Wei Zeyuan's words naturally made sense, but Sun Ning wanted to tell him very much, but I had already expressed my position early and forgiven him, and I said it in front of Colonel Zhao Guang.

It's just that he can't say this now, so he only vaguely said: "When I think about it, will it be beneficial for us to do this." By the way, what is my second brother's reaction these days? ”

was suddenly diverted from the topic by him, although Wei Zeyuan was a little puzzled, he still said truthfully: "The second son doesn't seem to be anything unusual over there, but he is just busy with his official business as before." ”

Zhao Guangxiao's three sons are actually quite good, at least not like the sons of big people, who will only be a group of gentlemen.

For example, Zhao Qianhui has been serving in the army, and he has won the love of many officers and men in the army.

Zhao Qianshun is good at handling all kinds of official documents, and he has become a clerical official who often accompanies Zhao Guangxiao, so he will meet Sun Ning in front of the General's Mansion a few days ago.

As for the original Zhao Qianzhe, he is even more outstanding, he can be called an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, he can not only lead troops to fight, but also have the ability to deal with various yamen and mundane affairs, so he is more valued by many people and want to help him snatch the position of the prince.

"What about the people around him? For example, the one named Yang Hongzu, has there been any movement recently? Sun Ning asked by name again.

"Yang Hongzu?" Wei Zeyuan thought hard again, as if he was recalling the identity of this person, and said after a while, "He is just a praise painter in the army, what can he do?" ”

"That might be. You don't know yet, this Yang Hongzu is the most trusted person around the second brother, although it is called Zanhua, but in fact, many government affairs set by the hands of the second brother are all helped by him. Sun Ning explained solemnly.

This point is naturally what Zhao Qianhui told him, after all, they are siblings, and there are some things that Zhao Qianshun can't hide.

Wei Zeyuan was stunned: "There are still such things?" Now that I understand, I'll have people keep an eye on him. ”

If Yang Hongzu's problem can be found, maybe Zhao Qianshun's arm can be broken, which will naturally be of great benefit to their ultimate goal.

After this interruption, the topic of how to make Zhao Qianhui give up some benefits was naturally put aside for the time being. The two chatted for a while, and Wei Zeyuan said goodbye and left.

At this time, Sun Ning asked people to invite Zhao Hanshan, who was a real confidant.

"I want you to do something for me." Sun Ning didn't have much politeness to him, and said directly.

"Childe, please speak."

"You know the Hongbin Building in the outer city, right? In the past few days, send more available people to watch over there, and if you meet a son named Yang Yue who is drinking there, let them have some friction with him, and it is best to make things bigger. ”

Although Zhao Hanshan didn't know what his son-in-law was thinking, he immediately agreed, and then asked, "Then what's next?" ”

"Next, it will naturally be handed over to the relevant yamen to deal with, and you don't have to worry about it. Remember, you and the important people around me don't get involved in it, as long as you let this Yang Gongzi be taken down by the relevant yamen, it will be considered a success! ”

"Yes, I understand. I'm going to make arrangements. Zhao Hanshan agreed, and hurried away again.

For him, such a thing couldn't be simpler, even if he put aside the third son, just himself, there are people who do things with their strength.

Some people died, but not completely......
