Chapter 176 You really fooled me without any skills

"Tell me about the scene at that time."

"I asked carefully. It was obvious that Li Changchong's people were deliberately looking for trouble and forcing the new recruits to fight with them."

"You mean, Li Changchong did it on purpose?"

"Ahem, Guanjia, I have hired people to repair my house before. There is no need to deliberately instigate. That will only delay your own fortifications."

"Then tell me why Li Changchang is like this?"

"I am stupid."

Zhao Ning pondered deeply, originally thinking that this matter was just some dignitaries trying to save money, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a conspiracy and political struggle.

As for whether it is a conspiracy and political struggle, it is too early to judge.

"Follow Li Changchong and the others, arrest them all and interrogate them."

"yes."

Gao Qiu thought for a while and said: "Guan family, do you want to arrest Zhao Ye for interrogation?"

"Don't arrest me yet."

"yes."

Gao Qiu didn't say anything more. Since the emperor said he wouldn't arrest him, he wouldn't arrest him.

He wondered why the emperor didn't arrest Zhao Ye.

There are two reasons:

First, arresting ministers at will without direct evidence breaks political rules.

Even though Zhao Guan's family today cuts people like watermelons, the reason why every person who is killed deserves to die is clearly stated.

Even the person who was killed felt that he would be sorry for Zhao Guan's family if he did not die.

Second, given Zhao Guan's character, he is probably taking a long-term view to catch the big fish.

Gao Qiu stopped making random guesses. After he resigned, Zhao Ning went to Wende Hall alone to think about it.

Although there were only a hundred or so recruits mutinizing, the nature of the mutiny was definitely bad.

When it got dark, Zhang Shuye entered the palace. He reported today's incident and explained the results.

The captain who accepted the bribe was arrested and interrogated by the military governor, and all those who followed him to move bricks were punished.

The supervisory officers under the Military Governor's Office were also punished.

This matter may be considered small, since its current influence is limited after all, but it is definitely big.

When bribery and mutiny were found in the newly established Guards Brigade, this was not a matter of numbers, but a matter of military and political management.

Once this happens, someone will inevitably start in my court of Song Dynasty where there are so many trolls...

Zhao Ning didn't blame Zhang Shuye, he just explained a few words and wanted to turn this matter into a minor matter.

But some people don't want to.

The next day, a memorial was placed in front of Zhao Ning's desk.

Each memorial has only one central idea: Zhang Shu managed the army at night, which caused the soldiers to mutiny.

Isn't this obvious?

This is already quite obvious!

This is someone who wants to cause trouble!

Early on the next morning, Zhao Ye knelt at the gate of the palace.

Many officials who entered the palace saw it and found it strange. This matter quickly spread among the officials.

As soon as Zhao Ning entered the Wende Palace, Wang Huaiji came over and said, "Official family, Mr. Zhao Ye and Zhao Xianggong knelt down outside the palace gate and asked for a face."

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in."

Not long after, Zhao Ye came in.

"The officials and ministers are here to plead guilty."

Zhao Ning seemed to know nothing and asked gently: "What is your crime?"

Zhao Ye took the initiative to tell what happened yesterday, and said that he was guilty and did not take good care of the people below him, which was why Li Changchang took advantage of it and caused such a big trouble.

As he spoke, he began to cry.

He was so ashamed that he wished he could have bumped his head to death on the palace ground.

Zhao Ning sat there, watching Zhao Ye perform in front of him with a smile.

It's really interesting. I didn't expect that an idle official, who doesn't enjoy the good benefits, insists on getting involved in the government affairs, and even gets involved in the military affairs.

Who is behind Zhao Ye?

This is a very interesting question.

The new army won a great victory. Seeing that the emperor wanted to replenish the army of the Guards Brigade, reaching one hundred thousand soldiers, some people became jealous and felt that they should go there themselves.

In the final analysis, political struggles are all about competition for interests.

But the problem is, when the Song Dynasty was always losing battles in the past, you all hid in hiding.

When Zhao Ye was King Qin, he was hiding in Daming Mansion.

These bureaucrats, when faced with difficulties, retreat one by one, and when the difficulties gradually subside, they come out to fight for power and gain.

The reason why Zhao Ning didn't move Zhao Ye was because he wanted to see what this guy wanted to do and who was behind it!

"Please get up quickly, sir. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Officially, although I have long since severed my relationship with Li Changchong, this matter happened to me, and I can't take the blame. Please forgive me."

"I know that you are loyal to the country. How could I mistakenly blame Zhongliang!"

"Thank you, Guan Jia." Zhao Ye wiped away a few tears and stood up.

Zhao Ning said: "I remember that in the first year of Jingkang, you served as the military commander of Hebei Province."

"At that time, I was ordered to go to Hebei, but I was just doing my best for the official family."

Zhao Ning sighed: "You are the pillar of the country!"

When Zhao Ye heard the praise from Zhao Guanjia, he was surprised at first, and then became happy. He quickly said: "I share the worries of the official family and fulfill my responsibilities as a minister."

"Alas..." Zhao Ning sighed.

"Does the official family have anything to worry about?"

"I do have something to worry about."

"I am brave and don't know what worries the officials. Although I am stupid, I am willing to share the worries of the officials."

"The military and political affairs are in chaos, and new soldiers have mutinied. I am very worried. The gold thieves are vicious, and the country has no one. I..."

At this point, Zhao Ning began to sigh again.

"You can't blame Xianggong Zhang for this matter. Commander Zong has made great achievements on the front line, and Xianggong Li Gang and Li Xianggong have also made great achievements on the eastern front. There are so many good ministers, so the officials don't have to worry."

Don't tell me, Zhao Ye is really smart.

He was the one who framed Zhang Shuye, but he pretended to speak for Zhang Shuye in front of the emperor.

"There are some things you may not know. Too many people died on the Western Front. I'm afraid Zhang Jun will have a hard time saying goodbye..."

Zhao Yimei was confused, but he said: "Although Mr. Zhang was defeated in the battle, his loyalty can definitely be seen from the sun and the moon."

"Well, you're right."

fell into silence.

After a while, Zhao Ye suddenly said: "Actually, your Majesty also has good military and political ministers."

"Oh, sir, do you have anyone to recommend?" Zhao Ning suddenly expressed great joy.

In fact, he is really happy that Zhao Yecheng Mansion is really deep, and now he is finally being tricked?

Zhao Ye said: "I had some interactions with Fan Ne, the minister of the Ministry of War, in Hebei. I know him well. He has military talents. At that time, he worked hard with King Kang to recruit King Qin's army."

Zhao Ning nodded repeatedly and said, "I heard Prince Kang mention it before."

Zhao Ning said this on the surface, but in his heart he said: It seems that Fan Ne is also involved in this matter!

And they have all done things with King Kang, could it be...

Seeing that the emperor recognized him so much, Zhao Ye couldn't help but feel a little bold. He said: "Fan Ne is a talented person. If your Majesty is short of people, he can be transferred to the Military and Political Council to assist Xianggong Zhang in handling military affairs."

Zhao Ning suddenly said: "What do you think of Zhang Shuye?"

Zhao Ye was stunned. He did not expect that the emperor suddenly asked such a direct question. He replied: "Xianggong Zhang is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Golden thieves besieged the city. He ignored his personal safety and entered the city to serve the king. He is a role model for us."

Zhao Ye paused, hesitated in his heart, and said: "But..."
