Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Han Shizhong recalled his demeanor in the military these years, except that he liked to find people to fight everywhere after drinking, he was still very low-key.

Perhaps the biggest criticism is that he was very close to King Liao at the beginning.

King Liao was demoted to the South China Sea. Could it be that His Majesty is dissatisfied with himself because of King Liao?

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"

Zhao Ning was taken aback, feeling a little confused by Han Shizhong's words.

But then he remembered the letter of impeachment of Han Shizhong by the Military Governor's Mansion, did Han Shizhong know?

But regarding that incident, Zhao Ning felt that it was pure fiction.

At least Han Shizhong won't be greedy for that small gain.

Fan Zhixu himself was very active, and everyone in the Military Governor's Mansion seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

"What is the crime of a good minister?" Zhao Ning asked.

Regarding the impeachment of Han Shizhong, it has not been made public, and Zhao Ning will definitely not talk nonsense.

"Chen..." Han Shizhong was about to say, but then he remembered Liang Hongyu's advice.

Don't mention this matter, not many people know about this matter, if you mention it, it is tantamount to admitting that you have contacts in the Military Governor's Mansion or the Military Political Academy, which is self-defeating.

So Han Shizhong said: "It was said before that I was very close to His Royal Highness King Liao. As a border commander, I have close contacts with the prince. This is a serious crime!"

Zhao Ning glanced at Han Shizhong indiscriminately. He always felt that Han Shizhong just said that he was guilty, not about Zhao Chen.

However, he would not make wild guesses about things without evidence, let alone pursue them indiscriminately.

"Liangchen, worry too much. Chen'er's growth is also thanks to you. You are my good general. I have never suspected you because of this matter."

"Your Majesty, now that the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, I beg you to resign from all positions, and please allow me to retire and return home."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The minister has gone through many years of battle just to destroy the gold thieves. Now that he has achieved his wish, he has no desires or desires."

"You have no desires?" Zhao Guan's face immediately became serious, "You Han Liangchen said that you have no desires, I believe you, you don't care about your children and grandchildren?"

"They also just want to live a normal life."

"Nonsense! I mentioned Wei Chigong to you just now, and I was thinking about imitating Tang Taizong, building a Jingkang Hall of Heroes, and writing great military exploits for you. Do you think I'm jealous of you?"

"I absolutely dare not!" Han Shizhong knelt down in fright.

Only then did Zhao Ning help him up, and said: "Don't think too much, you will always be the Han Liangchen in my heart. When I called you and Yue Fei into the palace, it was the third time when the gold thief went south and was in danger. It was you , blocked the gold thief's iron hooves!"

"His Majesty……"

"Don't you want the world to call me a foolish king!" Zhao Ning became furious, pointing at Han Shizhong and scolding, "The battle to destroy gold has only passed for less than a month. Song Dynasty fought bloody battles, the frontier marshal with scars all over his body, came to tell me that he would resign from all positions, you want me to sleep all night, don't you!"

"I must never dare!"

"You don't dare! If you don't dare, let me go home now and stay well! It's better not to listen to the gossip in the court!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Han Shizhong stood up and retreated.

When they walked to the door, Zhao Guan's voice came from inside: "You all think that I am a cold-blooded and ruthless king, don't you?"

Han Shizhong's heart sank, but he didn't say anything.

With Zhao Guanjia's temper, being able to say these words shows that Zhao Guanjia treats him sincerely.

It was still raining outside, and Tokyo in May was shrouded in misty rain.

Between the blue bricks and white tiles, under the shade of lush greenery, is full of vitality.

Everything seemed to be going great.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ning summoned the governors of the two governments, but only the governors.

Lu Yihao was in Youzhou and failed to play.

"The Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, and the soldiers have made outstanding contributions. They should be rewarded. How do you think it is appropriate to reward them?"

"The minister said a long time ago that he should be crowned king. This is what His Majesty Daojun said before."

The first one to appear was Fan Zhixu again.

To the other prime ministers, these words were like stepping on the thunder of heaven.

There has never been a king with a different surname in this dynasty.

Yu Yunwen on the side murmured in his heart: Fan Zhixu was kicked in the head by a donkey on the Northern Expedition with Shengjia?How dare you say such things in front of Zhao Guan's family?

"This is inappropriate!" Yu Yunwen immediately stood up, "Did Wang Jue seal it up as soon as he said it, and who should be sealed and who should not be sealed, how to judge?"

"It's simple. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin can all be sealed. Liu Kai, Li Yanxian, and Li Shifu have all made great contributions, so they can also be sealed!"

"It's nonsense!" Yu Yunwen retorted very simply, "After being crowned king, wouldn't the whole court be in chaos!"

Of course, whether Yu Yunwen had guessed Fan Zhixu's true intentions was unknown.

But Yu Yunwen must be sincere.

"The princes must not be conferred, but I feel that these people can enter the court as officials. First, they can be praised to show His Majesty's sages; second, they can reunite with their families and enjoy family happiness; third, they can serve the court Cultivate new talent."

It was Zhao Ding who spoke.

Zhao Ning nodded. Since Zhao Ding said so, Yu Yunwen also expressed his opinion, and Fan Zhixu also expressed his intentions in a strange way, then there is basically no disturbance in the award this time.

A few days later, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin returned to Bianjing respectively.

The imperial decree of the reward was also issued.

Yue Fei gave the Taishi, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie gave the Taifu, Wu Lin, Liu Kai, Li Yanxian were the Taibao, and Li Shifu was the Situ.

In addition, Zhang Xianzhongyihou, Niugao Anbeihou, Yang Zaixing Yongwuhou, Zhang Qinghai Donghou, Huyantong Dingyuanhou and so on.

With Yue Fei and Han Shizhong as the frontier commanders of the first column, they basically have titles, and the highest honor titles of Taishi and Taifu are undoubtedly another kind of favor.

Of course, the rewards for the armed forces and the promotion of many meritorious persons will be handled by the Military and Political Yuan as a whole.

What's interesting is that this list of military promotions was presided over by Fan Zhixu, an old man with an innocent smile every day.

After the imperial decree of reward was issued, the commanders of all sides led the decree to thank them.

But did things really end so smoothly?

Thinking about it, on the intricate banner of the Song Dynasty, it must not be so smooth sailing if you want to be an extremely personable minister and want to be extremely honorable.

In other words, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

The wind came quickly.

The letter impeaching Han Shizhong's smuggling of silver mines from Japan was originally held at Zhao Guan's house, but recently, the people in the Military Governor's Mansion seem to pour a few bowls of chicken blood into themselves every day. .

After Fan Zhixu learned the truth, he was very angry and said that Han Shizhong must be investigated immediately!

Chapter 1501 For the good (first update)

Whether or not Han Shizhong can be investigated is not up to Fan Zhixu, nor is it up to the Military Governor's Office.

After all, at Han Shizhong's level, no one would dare to mess around without the emperor nodding.

Yang Yizhong and Fan Zhixu of the Military Governor's Mansion wrote letters to Zhao's official family, but they were not agreed.

If Han Shizhong can't investigate, then investigate Han Shizhong's people.

For example, the group of officials and generals who followed Han Shizhong to conquer Japan at that time.

In the torrential rain of May, when the storyteller in the wine shop said that smoke was coming out of his throat every day, the Cold War started like this.

For the time being, the Cold War has not stirred up troubles. After all, it is still mainly about rewarding meritorious service.

On May [-]th, Yue Fei, dressed in official uniform, strode towards the back garden of the forbidden center.

After a summer rain, the bright sunshine broke through the clouds and mist, scattering beams of light.

Yue Fei raised his eyes and saw Zhao Guan's family in plain clothes, sitting by the pond and fishing.

He was motionless, his thin figure blended into the smoke and tenderness after the rain, like a peaceful ink painting.

Yue Fei thought about it carefully, he actually didn't spend much time with Zhao Guan's family, these years he was mostly in the frontier, and the communication with Zhao Guan's family was mainly through letters.

In the blink of an eye, 17 years have passed.

Yue Fei's impression of Zhao Ning mostly stayed in the documents.

Zhao Guanjia's writing has a characteristic, calm and powerful.

Just like himself sitting by the pool and fishing at this time.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"You are here, sit down and accompany me to fish."

Wang Huaiji immediately prepared a fishing rod for Yue Fei. Yue Fei sat next to Zhao Guan's house and started fishing.

"Does Pengju like fishing?"

"Reporting to the official family, this is my first time fishing."

"First time?" Zhao Ning couldn't help being surprised.

"For the first time, I used to ride horses, archery, and martial arts. Before joining the army, I studied at home and farmed."

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "I almost forgot that Pengju is a unparalleled general."

"The officials are joking, the minister is just a warrior."

At this time, a fish bit the hook, and Zhao Ning mentioned that it was a very fat fish.

The servants on one side were very busy.

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Pengju, this fishing is different from horseback riding and archery. You can't see any movement when the bait falls into the water, and you don't know when the fish will bite. So if you want to fish, you have to be calm. You need to practice Qi, and it must be as calm as the water, so that the fish will not be aware of your presence, and when they see the bait, they will bite unconsciously."

"What the officials say is very true, I still need to learn more."

"Fishing a few more times, you will be able to do it. I am afraid of being serious about everything." Zhao Ning said with a smile.

It can be seen that Zhao Guan's family is in a good mood, his whole body is relaxed, and even the tone of his speech is different from what he used to say in court.

"However, you can't force anything. I invite you to go fishing today. If you are not interested, you should ride horses and shoot archery more in the future. After all, this life is only a few short decades. Do what you like to do. Boundless fun!"

Yue Fei's heart couldn't help but move, is there something in the official's words?

After saying these words, Zhao Guanjia stopped talking and continued fishing.

He skillfully picked up some baits and cast them, then sat there quietly, looking at the water.

The waves on the water reflected in Zhao Guanjia's eyes, giving him a clear but mysterious feeling.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Ning had already caught more than a dozen big fish, but Yue Fei didn't catch a single one.

Zhao Ning couldn't help joking: "It seems that Pengju is still suitable for riding a horse."

"It made the officials laugh."

"Everyone has their own specialties. If I send troops to the battlefield, I'm afraid it will be less than one ten-thousandth of a Pengju." Zhao Ning stood up, "Come on, go to drink tea, I have prepared a lot of snacks."

The two came to sit in the gazebo.

Zhao Ning continued: "Every line is like a mountain. In history, those emperors who were not born in the army personally commanded the overall situation of the battlefield. Few of them won. Even if they won occasionally, it was because of the right time, place, and people on their side and the absolute advantage. I often wonder if Taizong was not in a hurry to go north, and the situation between Song and Liao would have changed long ago."

Yue Fei sat on the side and listened carefully, he didn't interrupt.

This topic is something that courtiers cannot touch randomly.

But in fact, everyone in the Song Dynasty who knew the history of Yongxi's Northern Expedition knew it well, especially a person like Yue Fei who was able to fight the overall war, the first time he knew Zhao Guangyi's way of fighting, he was extremely shocked.

Zhao Ning continued: "Pengju, do you think so?"

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Officials, Emperor Taizong has Emperor Taizong's considerations, and the officials must not be able to see it."

"In my opinion, Emperor Taizong intervened too much, and later opened the method of the hidden ministers to supervise the army, which is also an important reason why Song Dynasty suffered repeated setbacks on the battlefield."

The so-called minister of the hidden residence is a confidant and follower.

For example, the ministers of Zhao Ji's hidden residence included Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others.

Gao Qiu took the imperial army to Cuju without incident, which already did a lot of harm to the army. It was the Song Army's misfortune to run like Tong Guan to command the army.

The minister of the hidden mansion is the commander-in-chief, and the kind of teacher who is really professional in war can only be the deputy. The decision-making is not made by professionals, but the emperor's hidden mansion attendant.
