It's finally here!

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Ji's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Although the younger brother is only an idle prince, he is a subject of our Great Song Dynasty after all, and the official family has an order, and he will never dare to refuse." ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's statement, his face immediately turned happy, and then he said: "Brother Eleven's attitude is very good, you also know that I plan to send a delegation to Dali, right? As for this candidate, I think about it, and only the eleventh brother is up to you. ”

With that, the emperor stared at Zhao Ji and observed the change in his expression.

After listening to the emperor's words, Zhao Ji's face showed a trace of hesitation and embarrassment, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "It turned out to be this matter, in a hurry, can the sixth brother allow the younger brother to think carefully and consider before replying?"

When the emperor heard this, his face showed a trace of displeasure, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there anything difficult about Brother Eleven?"

"If it is sent by others, since the subordinate brother should come down, whether it is good or bad, it must be done. But if you send an envoy to Dali......" Zhao Ji said with a look of embarrassment: "First, the younger brother has not gained the experience of making a fanbang, if there is a mistake, he will lose face or a small section, I am afraid that I will miss the major affairs of our Great Song State." Second, the younger brother heard that this Dali country is thousands of miles away, and once he comes and goes, it will take a year and a half as long as he does, but the younger brother has made an appointment with the Lord of Wuyue Guanguan to participate in the Taoist Spirit Conference in two months, this 、......"

Hearing Zhao Ji's reason, the emperor's face turned slightly pale, and then he said with a pleasant face: "It turns out that Brother Eleven is worried about this. This first point, you don't have to worry, this time with you Cai Jing Cai is a talented person, even if you have a little omission, Cai can help turn around. Moreover, the most important thing in our Great Song Dynasty diplomatic relations is the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, if you send these two tigers and wolves to the land, even if Brother Eleven you volunteer to go, I can't agree. As for this second point, Brother Eleven, you don't have to mind, the Dao Spirit Conference can't be attended this year and next year. That Dali and the United Kingdom up and down the Buddha, Buddhism and Taoism, there are always some similarities, this opportunity is rare, if the eleventh brother does not go to see and appreciate it, but it is a great pity. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor saw Zhao Ji showing a look of interest, and then added a fire: "Besides, Brother Eleventh is going to Dali this time, although the road is far away, but there are many opportunities to enjoy the magnificent rivers and mountains along the way. I don't set specific travel restrictions for you Eleventh Brother, Eleventh Brother, you go all the way to the ** landscape, looking for the way to visit the immortals, isn't it beautiful?"

The emperor has already talked about this step, and Zhao Ji really doesn't need to be pretentious anymore, so he immediately got up and patted his chest and promised: "In this case, the younger brother will take over this errand and will never live up to the trust of the officials!"

Next, the emperor explained to Zhao Ji some matters that needed to be paid attention to when he was sent to Dali, and the atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed briskly. The two brothers all got what they wanted, and they were two different satisfactions, one bright and one dark.

After leaving the palace and returning to the palace, Zhao Ji grinned at the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't understand why the prince was so eager to go to the country of Dali, he was still happy for Zhao Ji in his heart, so he said: "The prince is going to travel far away, do you want to prepare now?"

"Okay, let's start preparing now. Zhao Ji nodded and said, although there are still more than ten days to go, it is not possible to complete everything in three or two days to arrange everything properly.

Liang Shicheng saw that Zhao Ji still had a happy expression, and couldn't help but say: "The little one really doesn't know what's so good about that Dali country, and it's worthy of the prince's happiness." ”

Zhao Ji just smiled and didn't explain. The reason why he was happy this time was not all because he could go to Dali, but also partly because of Cai Jing. This time, the two sides reached a tacit understanding with each other, and it will naturally be easier to communicate in the future. In the past, Zhao Ji refused to communicate with Wenchen, on the one hand, because he didn't want to appear too detached, and on the other hand, there was really no practical help in communicating with those Wenchen. But Cai Jing is different, he is a central minister, and at the same time, he does have real talent, and he cultivates a foundation first, which will be of great benefit to Zhao Ji in the future.

is about to travel far away, and Zhao Ji has a lot of things to do. He summoned Quan Guanqing first and instructed him to reduce the activity of his group of helpers during his absence from Beijing, and only keep the basic activities. In this investigation of Cai Jing's whereabouts, the power of Quan Guanqing and his subordinates to collect intelligence is indeed amazing, but the shortcomings exposed are also obvious. That's when dealing with huge amounts of information, it's very inefficient. Because of the shortcomings of this link, the overall amount of the organization has been dragged down.

To establish a professional intelligence processing team, but how to do it, Zhao Ji did not have a practical plan. Zhao Ji thought about this matter for a long time and arranged it for Liang Shicheng. The collection and collation of intelligence should be separated, and relatively speaking, the processing of intelligence is far more important than the collection, and naturally it must be handed over to more trustworthy people. Although Zhao Ji did not have the idea of establishing the Great Song East Factory, only Liang Shicheng was the most trustworthy at present.

As for the so-called power eunuch country, Zhao Ji is by no means worried. In fact, since the Song Dynasty, the power structure of the previous dynasties has tended to be perfected, and it is almost impossible for a eunuch or a certain force to cover the sky, of course, if the emperor allows it, it is another matter. Eunuchs and ministers, in the final analysis, are tools in the hands of the emperor, but relatively speaking, eunuchs are more handy to use. But no matter how powerful the eunuch or powerful minister is, as long as the emperor wants to abolish it, two fingers wide and a strip are enough. Even in the Ming Dynasty, where it was recognized that eunuchs were relatively strict, how many eunuchs dared to defy the emperor's authority? As for following the example of the Han and Tang dynasties, it would be completely looking for death!

Therefore, Zhao Ji was very relieved of Liang Shicheng. But at the same time, he does not intend to give this intelligence organization any official status, this is just an extraordinary method in extraordinary times, and it must not be passed on as a permanent institution. Zhao Ji didn't intend to destroy the atmosphere of the most enlightened dynasty in the history of the Great Song Dynasty because of his momentary thoughts, so that everyone was in danger and panicked, which could no longer be regarded as the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition to explaining that Quan Guanqing wanted to settle down and remove the adjustment at the same time, Zhao Ji also asked him to inform Qiao Feng, who was far away in Luoyang, that this time he was going to Dali, Zhao Ji hoped that Qiao Feng could accompany him. This way to the mountains and rivers, Zhao Ji still has a lot of restless thoughts in his heart, occasionally he may leave the mission to move freely, with Qiao Feng, a master by his side, he will always be much more down-to-earth.

In addition to these, Zhao Ji also instructed Liang Shicheng to see the death of Mrs. Ma.

Since returning to Bianliang, Zhao Ji has rarely come into contact with that Mrs. Ma, but he has put a lot of thought into this woman. There are many ears and eyes layered around the Ma family's residence, ensuring that once this Mrs. Ma has any abnormal behavior, she can be informed of it as soon as possible.

What made Zhao Ji feel a little comforted was that Mrs. Ma had been keeping to herself for most of the past six months, neither receiving any visitors, nor going out. If you look closely, she is even more peaceful than ordinary women, just like a nun with a withered heart and an ancient Buddha with green lights, and she doesn't even have an ordinary pastime to go out for fun.

The more this Mrs. Ma is like this, the more strange Zhao Ji feels in his heart. After several contacts, he could see that this Mrs. Ma was unwilling to be lonely, and she was by no means the kind of ordinary woman who was willing to be plain. The reason why she put on such a posture may be because she was aware of her all-round surveillance and deliberately did it for herself.

But no matter what, as long as this woman can keep her peace and keep to herself, it is the best situation for Zhao Ji. He didn't lack patience or time, so he just kept wasting it.

Zhao Ji instructed Liang Shicheng that during his absence from Bianliang, he must pay more attention to this Mrs. Ma, especially her contact with the people in the beggar gang. With similar words, Zhao Ji also instructed Quan Guanqing, asking him to pay attention to Ma Dayuan's whereabouts and safety issues. Beware twice, you shouldn't have to worry about any accidents.

After everything was arranged in place, Zhao Ji thought about it for a long time and made sure that there was no omission of negligence, so he completely relieved himself and stayed in the palace with peace of mind and waited for Qiao Feng to arrive.

In addition to the matter of the beggar gang, there is actually one more thing that bothers Zhao Ji, that is, the puppet Li who has been staying in the palace. Zhao Ji is really a little speechless about this successor of the Carefree School, this person only cares about his drama and singing every day, and as for other things, he ignores everything. In the past six months, Zhao Ji has never seen him practice martial arts. Except for that specious comment on the Northern Spiritual Skill, Zhao Ji didn't hear anything meaningful from him.

This time to go to Dali Kingdom, Zhao Ji is more likely to obtain the Northern Spiritual Skill, although the chance of finding it in the reckless mountains is relatively slim, but if you lock the surroundings of the Infinite Sword Sect, it should be easier. However, Li Puppet's headless and brainless words made Zhao Ji hesitate in his heart, and he couldn't help but knock on the side to ask Li Puppet about the details of this Northern Spiritual Skill. But I don't know if this Li puppet really doesn't know or if he doesn't know, anyway, Zhao Ji has never been able to ask anything. In desperation, Zhao Ji had to instruct the people in the house to take care of this Li puppet, and wait for him to come back. Anyway, whether or not you can find the Northern Pluto Divine Skill is still between the two, and it is in vain to worry about anything now.
