When Zhao Heng heard Zhao Xu's passionate words, his brows furrowed and he was silent.

The things that broke the grain and rotted sesame seeds in Jingying, he knew it as well as a mirror in his heart.

When he first succeeded to the throne, he had the ambition to rectify the Beijing camp, and ordered Shen Yuncheng, the secretary of the military department at that time, to take the title of governor of the Beijing camp and start to rectify the Beijing camp. Shen Yuncheng, as Zhao Heng's subordinate of the palace, has excellent ability and does not live up to the trust, and within two years, he has uprooted many drawbacks such as occupation of the Beijing camp, hypocrisy, selling idleness, and package exercises.

The armies of the Beijing camp are disciplined and their combat strength is invigorated.

However, in the Beijing camp, the interests are intertwined, although Shen Yuncheng quickly cut through the chaos and renovated the Beijing camp, but it inevitably violated the interests of the courtiers and nobles, and was regarded as a thorn in the flesh.

On the first day of the first month of the third year of Da Chu Wenhe, Zhao Heng inspected the soldiers of the Beijing camp on the Xuanwu Gate, but unexpectedly the war horses of the Beijing camp were frightened and caused chaos. In the face of the pressure from the government and the opposition, Zhao Heng was forced to remove Shen Yuncheng from the post of governor of Beijing and demote him from Beijing.

After Shen Yuncheng left office, Jingying's old state reverted, and it became what it is today.

When he first ascended the throne, the treasury was abundant, and he was able to spend a lot of money, lay off the old, weak, sick and disabled, recruit loyal and brave people, and support Shen Qing to rectify the Beijing camp, but in the past 20 years, the Great Chu natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the treasury cannot make ends meet.

What Zhao Xu said is indeed good, but if you want to rectify the Beijing camp, how can you rectify it without silver as a backing?

Although this child is kind-hearted, after all, he has just returned to China, and his cognition of some things is still superficial. If he is really put in charge of rectifying the Beijing camp, it is not sharpening him, but harming him!

Just in an instant, Zhao Heng had an idea in his heart, stopped, turned around, looked at Zhao Xu, and said in a deep voice:

"Third child, these words, you and I, father and son know. The matter of Jingying is very important, you are young and shallow, you don't know the severity, don't interfere, I have my own ideas. ”

"Father, the Beijing camp has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and the interests are intertwined, and extraordinary people can rectify it......"

Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, Zhao Heng suddenly waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said coldly:

"What Shen Qing couldn't do back then, you are a yellow-haired child, can you dare to talk about it? That's the end of the matter, don't mention it again! ”

Looking at his father's cold side face, Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and arched his hand:

"Father, in the Beijing camp, there are a lot of fictitious quotas, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, less than four or five out of ten people really have combat power. If it is not rectified, it will waste money and grain, and for every additional day, the treasury will have to pay for one more day's food. It's really not good, the father can also retreat to the second, select the Beijing camp to fight and dare to fight, and form another battalion to defend Shenjing. ”

When Zhao Heng heard this, his words suddenly turned sharp.

"Zhang Chu, send King Ning back to his house!"

After that, he turned around and turned his back to Zhao Xu, obviously really angry.

Zhang Chu stood not far away, and when he heard this, he hurriedly walked to Zhao Xu's side with a lantern, and said in a low voice:

"Third Highness, Your Majesty is angry, Your Highness should go back to the house first."

Glancing at Zhao Heng, who was facing away from him, Zhao Xu sighed lightly in his heart, nodded, and arched his hand;

"Father and emperor take care of their health, and their sons and sons will retire."

Seeing this, Zhang Chu waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs hurriedly carried the lantern and led Zhao Heng towards the outside of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Third Highness, he's gone."

Seeing Zhao Xu disappear at the end of the road, Zhang Chu walked to Zhao Heng's side and said in a low voice.

"Alas......"

With a light sigh, Zhao Heng turned around and said as if talking to himself:

"Zhang Chu, you say, this third child, do you really want to worry about me, or do you want to put your hand in the Beijing camp?"

Zhang Chu's eyelids trembled slightly, and he said softly:

"Your Majesty, not long after His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, Xu has seen a lot of Qi Army, and he has suppressed bandits with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, so I feel it!"

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said:

"You old slave, what you said also makes some sense, it seems that I am wrong to blame the third child."

Seeing Zhao Heng gently flipping over the matter, Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly, King Ning, King Ning, your goose egg-sized night pearl, our family has not harvested it in vain.

Zhao Heng sighed: "I still know the thoughts of the third child. It's just that they all want to do something practical, but they don't think about my situation at all. If I had money in my hands, how could the ills of this Beijing camp be delayed to this day? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Heng's face was already a little hideous.

Shen Yuncheng is a minister of his hidden palace, in terms of ability and loyalty, worshipping the prime minister and becoming a marquis is just around the corner, but because he asked him to rectify the Beijing camp, he fell into a stigma, and was finally degraded out of Beijing by his own hands, and died in southern Xinjiang at the age of thirty-seven.

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.

He felt that he owed a lot to this third son, and he didn't dare to let Zhao Xu take this risk again.

Zhang Chu lowered his head deeply, not daring to say more.

"That's it," Zhao Heng waved his hand and sighed, "Zhang Chu, tomorrow you let someone go to the third mansion and tell him that when he meets the court the day after tomorrow, he will join his two elder brothers in the court to listen to the government." ”

…………

Zhao Xu left the palace and returned to the palace.

Gao Lishi came to Zhao Xu's side and said in a low voice: "Your Highness." ”

Cleaning up his mood, Zhao Xu asked, "Lin Chong and Wu Song, the two commanders, have already rested?" ”

Gao Lishi replied: "After the two adults returned to the house, they checked the guards in the house, and then went back to the house to rest. Your Highness, do you want the slaves to ...... them?"

"Don't worry about it for the time being, they have been running around with this king for so many days, let them have a good rest."

Zhao Xu asked again:

"Gao Lishi, how about a few of them cultivating the Sunflower Book now?"

"Back to the prince," Speaking of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", Gao Lishi's tone couldn't help but increase a few points, "Those four people who have comprehended the "Sunflower Treasure Book" have entered the door yesterday, and in two or three days, they will almost be able to complete the first layer of cultivation." ”

"Oh, according to that, this cultivation speed is not bad." Zhao Xu nodded, "Now, this is just a temporary place to live, the Ning Wangfu Imperial Court has not yet been completed, you still have some free time, if you have time, you can also refer to the "Sunflower Treasure Book." Although you can't practice directly, you can attack jade with the stones of other mountains, and there is no harm in taking a look at them more. ”

Colliers nodded in agreement.

Just when Zhao Xu entered the palace, Zhao Jing, the king of An, and Zhao Chun, the crown prince, also got the news that Zhao Xu had exterminated the bandits.

In the palace of King An.

Zhao Jing's face sank like water, and beside him, whether it was Sima Chengcang or Changshi Zhou Cheng, they were all silent.

No one thought that the Jingshan bandits, who had always been fierce and helpless even in Beijing, would be exterminated by Zhao Xu, the king of Ning, in one fell swoop, and even the three masters led by Wang Hongyi were all beheaded.

The news was so shocking that there was a dead silence in the palace hall.

"Lord Wang, will your letter to the leader of the king fall into the hands of King Ning?"

Zhou Changshi asked astringently.

When he mentioned the letter, Zhao Jing was so angry that his liver hurt, and he couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily:

"A fool who has not achieved enough things, but has more than enough failures!"

Facing the furious Zhao Jing, Cheng Sima and Zhou Changshi swallowed their saliva one after another, and they were silent one by one, not daring to say a word.

Taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down from his anger, and sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Jingfang said:

"The fault of this matter is that the king is not thoughtful. However, the two gentlemen don't have to worry too much, the third brother has just returned to Beijing, and his prestige is not deep. Even if he really got the letter, with his father's benevolent character, even if he believed it, he wouldn't let him get involved between me and the second child, at most he wouldn't send it. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhou and the two nodded thoughtfully.

If you say that you understand your majesty today, your own prince should be true.

"Since the prince said so, then there will be no more words on this matter. Now, the most important thing for the prince is to bring down the crown prince. ”

Zhou Cheng stroked a few strands of long whiskers under his chin.

"The meaning of the circumference history is and the loneliness." Zhao Jing said, looking at Sima Chengcang, "How is that incident arranged now?" ”

Cheng Sima clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile:

"The prince can rest assured, he has put the chess pieces into the East Palace. It won't take long for the prince to be able to make his wishes come true. ”

Zhao Jing nodded and said:

"That being the case, the king has carte blanche to sir."
