Jiang Dingzhong can cover the sky with one hand in Shuozhou City, and it does not all rely on the strength of the Jiang family.

On the second day he came to Shuozhou City, he set up a banquet in the most elegant and extravagant gold cave in Shuozhou City-Huayue Building, entertaining the famous scholars and squires and landlords in Shuozhou City.

Song Chi didn't care much about these people's opinions, he already had his own style, he disdained to be with Jiang Dingzhong and others, and even more disdainful of comparing with such people, but he didn't expect that Jiang Dingzhong was now in power in Shuozhou City, uniting these powerful people, and had the posture of forcibly occupying Shuozhou City.

Although He Lianjun has a backbone, he is a little more sleek than Song Chi, he knows that Jiang Dingzhong is not a good type, and he knows that Shuozhou City cannot fall into Jiang Dingzhong's hands no matter what, he thought about it, and asked Song Chi, "Uncle Song, how many people are still available for you in Shuozhou City now?"

Song Chi didn't know what He Lianjun's plan was to ask like this, so he replied with a little doubt, "Now the subordinates in the prefect's mansion are running away, only those who have been following me are staying in the mansion to serve, there are about twenty people, and there are also soldiers and horses in Shuozhou City, which are still under my control, about five thousand people."

He Lianjun was a little more confident when he heard this, although Jiang Dingzhong is now powerful, but now the prefect of Shuozhou City is still Song Chi, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Shuozhou City are only under Song Chi's orders, "This is our biggest advantage now, Jiang Dingzhong has the ability to encircle the famous families in Shuozhou City, we have to start with the army, after all, Jiang Dingzhong is powerful, but the people around him are also afraid of confronting the army, we only need to firmly grasp the soldiers and horses of Shuozhou City, they can't set off any storms."

Song Chi is a literati and does not know how to use soldiers on the battlefield, but listening to He Lianjun say this, he can't help but have a little more confidence, as the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, the officials do not fight with the soldiers, the Shuozhou city is far from the emperor, Song Chi as the prefect of Shuozhou, has great autonomy, and the army stationed in Shuozhou is only obeyed by Song Chi in addition to the current emperor, which is their biggest hole card.

The uncle and nephew were planning to start with the army and fight Jiang Dingzhong to win the battle, at this time Yu Qingzhi was also brought into the door by the descendants of the Song Mansion, He Lianjun told Yu Qingzhi about his plan, the latter pondered for a long time, but frowned slightly in disapproval, "Xianggong, this plan can indeed solve the predicament of Shuozhou now, but I don't know if Xianggong has thought about it, if it really comes to this point, Xianggong, you can't hide the matter of hiding in Shuozhou City."

Song Chi doesn't know how to use soldiers, if he really confronts Jiang Dingzhong, I'm afraid that he can only be brought forward by He Lianjun with soldiers and horses, although Jiang Dingzhong doesn't necessarily know He Lianjun, but he knows He Lianjun's father, the father and son have a lot in common appearance, if they are really recognized by Jiang Dingzhong, I am afraid that they will be killed.

Yu Qingzhi continued, "What's more, now that Shuozhou is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the army is rashly mobilized, the prime minister has figured out how to explain to the imperial court? Listening to what you said, I also know that the emperor is the most suspicious now, and Xianggong is not afraid that the matter of mobilizing the army will be known to him, and he is suspicious of Uncle Song?"

Yu Qingzhi's analysis was reasonable, He Lianjun fell into deep thought when he heard it, and Song Chi's face flashed with appreciation, and he followed Yu Qingzhi's words and asked, "Then according to what you said, what should we do now?"

Yu Qingzhi did not twist, and replied, "Uncle Song, you have been an official in Shuozhou City for more than 20 years, and the people of Shuozhou City are all unconvinced by you, I asked a few people along the way here, and some of them even don't know the current saint, only Uncle Song, this kind of scene is naturally the best proof that Uncle Song is dedicated to the people and has done his best for the people of Shuozhou City, but Uncle Song, have you ever imagined that if these words reach the ears of the current emperor, according to his temperament, how will he react?"

Song Chi's face changed, and he was a little shocked after realizing it, he stared at Yu Qingzhi's face, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When Yu Qingzhi saw this, she knew that Song Chi understood what she said, and she continued, "Although the Jiang family is powerful, Shuozhou, as one of the nine major states of the Southern Dynasty, how can a Jiang family do it? Uncle Song has thought about it, if there is no indication from the current emperor, how dare Jiang Dingzhong attack you, and how dare he forcibly occupy Shuozhou without the appointment of the imperial court

Thoughts?"

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Shuozhou is far away from the capital, but it is also the territory of the Son of Heaven, if it were not for the hint of the current emperor, how could Jiang Dingzhong dare to hit Shuozhou's attention?

After Yu Qingzhi finished speaking, He Lianjun and Song Chi both understood the deep meaning, and a sneer flashed on He Lianjun's face, "Yes, this is indeed the style of the dog emperor, Uncle Song has been an official in Shuozhou City for so many years, and the imperial court has tried to give you a promotion many times but you have not agreed, where is he not suspicious?" After all, in his heart, he is afraid that the whole world is calculating him, and everyone is calculating his dragon chair."

According to Song Chi's political achievements in Shuozhou City, as early as more than ten years ago, he had the opportunity to enter Beijing as an official, when the imperial court decree was issued, but Song Chi was already concerned about the people of Shuozhou City, and refused the imperial court's order, but I was afraid that from then on, the sensitive and suspicious emperor began to doubt Song Chi's loyalty to himself.

Song Chi was silent for a long time, and then sighed again, with complete disappointment and chill for the current emperor, his eyes were fixed, and his tone was more like an ancient well, "That's it, but I was naïve, I always thought that he still had a bit of a bloody conscience, so although he had not agreed to enter Beijing over the years, he also guarded the Southern Dynasty for their royal family in Shuozhou, and he did not have two hearts."

Song Chi's tone couldn't help but be painful, obviously extremely disappointed in the current imperial court, "Your father was loyal to him and the Southern Dynasty all his life, but in the end he died of his suspicion, but now that he is suspicious of me, what good is it for me to guard the royal family for him?"

He looked at He Lianjun with a solemn face, "Jun'er, if you want to do something, you must occupy a territory, and now I am willing to use Shuozhou City for your purpose and be the root of your trouble, are you willing?"

He Lianjun raised his head suddenly, shocked, "Uncle Song, have you thought about it?" In the future, if I fail, I am afraid that the Song family will also be affected by me, not to mention that the Song family is in the limelight now, there is really no need to take risks for me."

He Lianjun knelt on the ground and made a junior salute to Song Chi, if he remembered that the matter had to be divided, he could not be unmoved by Song Chi's proposal, but in comparison, he was even more reluctant to Song Chi to take such a big risk for himself.

"Why are you and me so polite, the Song family is now from the same clan as me except for me, but when it comes to bloodline, they are already far apart, they are now very powerful in the imperial court, how can they be burdened by me, not to mention, I believe you."

Song Chi helped He Lianjun up from the ground, and he had already swept away his previous sick and weak state, He Lianjun helped him out of the bedroom and went all the way to the study.

Song Chi's study was decorated with no other ornaments except for a full of books, a simple desk and a few stools, he moved the outermost books on the shelf, took out a book with a bright yellow cover from the dark box inside, and handed it to He Lianjun.

"This book was originally given to me by your father when I was young, and I have been alone all these years, and it is this book that has accompanied me all the way here, and now that you have grown up, I will return this book to you, and it can be regarded as a complete love for my acquaintance with your father."

"Jun'er, in the past, I had a lot of support from your father in the officialdom, and when I was young, I was like you, affected by the sophistication of people, and the morality and etiquette I learned in the past, but when you reach my age, you will understand that in a person's life, except for trying to protect the people you cherish, the rest is not very careful."

"What I cherish is the men, women and children of this Shuozhou City, and the people who are suffering in the Southern Dynasty, what do you cherish?"

He Lianjun was silent for a long time, and finally took the book from Song Chi's hand, to his surprise, this book was not a great ancient book, but an ordinary travelogue.

Song Chi saw the confusion on his face, and explained with a smile, "I was also curious in the past, your father had so many lonely ancient books, but he just gave me a travelogue, which was really stingy, but I knew that later I realized that the most precious thing in this world is not the wealth of officials, nor the status and status, but the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, grass and trees in this world, I have been trapped in Shuozhou City for more than 20 years, and I have never seen the scenery outside Shuozhou City, and I will hand Shuozhou over to you, I will go to see the scenery of various places in the Southern Dynasties, and take a look at all kinds of people."

He Lianjun looked down at the book he was holding in his hand, and on the bright yellow cover, the title of the book was written with a black pen - "

Sihai Zhi", he was holding the book, but at the moment he felt that this book weighed a thousand catties, he nodded at Song Chi, promising more than a thousand catties, "Uncle Song, don't worry, I know your good intentions, I will definitely protect the people of Shuozhou City, and I will listen to the hopes of you and my father, protect the customs of all parts of the Southern Dynasty, and let them avoid war."

Song Chi patted He Lianjun's shoulder with great satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Okay, you have this ambition, in the future, when I go underground to see your father, I will definitely talk to him well."

Then, he turned his head to look at Yu Qingzhi again, and asked with a smile, "Niece and daughter-in-law, you haven't finished your words just now, since we can't go head-to-head with Jiang Dingzhong, do you have any other better ideas?"

Yu Qingzhi nodded, "Naturally, Uncle Song doesn't know, we just had a feud with Xie Feng a few days ago, and Xianggong even hurt him for me, now I'm afraid that the concubine in the palace has already gotten the news, and is thinking about how to avenge his brother, we might as well move the flowers and trees now, let Xie Guifei and Jiang Dingzhong face each other?"

"Oh? This is very novel, but I don't know what you have to make Xie Yingying think that Jiang Dingzhong did this?"

Yu Qingzhi's eyes turned, and his smile was full of sly, "Uncle Song, you don't know, the Xie family is now Uncle Xie is back in charge, Uncle Xie, like you, is an old acquaintance of my father-in-law, just need Uncle Xie to send a letter to the noble concubine in the palace, and explain the matter clearly to the noble concubine, the noble concubine will naturally not suspect us, and will only want to kill Jiang Dingzhong as soon as possible."

Song Chi didn't expect Yu Qingzhi to come up with such a clever plan in such a short period of time, he patted He Lianjun with a smile, "Jun'er, listen to your lady more about anything in the future, your lady's brain is much better than yours."

Hearing this, Yu Qingzhi quickly blushed, and was silent a lot, and then heard Song Chi say, "Xie Daoran, that old horseman, how can he be willing to come out of the Taoist temple?"
