This is a big question, and Han Shizhong did not answer Zhao Chen directly.

He said: "Your Highness, let me think about it and give you an answer tonight."

Zhao Chen bowed and left.

Not long after, Geng Zhu was called in.

"King Qi wants to go to Xijing."

Regarding this issue, Han Shizhong was also undecided, so he asked Geng Zhuo.

It can be seen that he still takes it seriously.

"Isn't Xijing the place where the Jin army may focus on attacking?" Geng Zuo was a little surprised, "Why is Prince Qi going there?"

"King Qi has a sincere heart."

Geng said solemnly: "Does King Qi want to prove something to His Majesty?"

"Just take it as such." Han Shizhong sighed, "Do you think we should let King Qi go?"

Geng Zuo did not answer directly, but said: "Han Shuai, I just received a letter from Dengzhou. What do you think it is about?"

Han Shizhong was not angry at Geng Zhu's avoidance of answering. He understood that Geng Zhu was a very smart man and would not say anything out of nowhere. He must have something very important.

"say what?"

"Some things happened in Qingzhou recently, and they were investigated by people from Su Provincial Academy."

"What does what happened in Qingzhou have to do with us?" Han Shizhong was confused.

"Qingzhou locals collect grain from the local area in the name of the imperial court's war." Geng Zhu said, "This matter is now a big deal, not only in Qingzhou, but also in Dengzhou, and other states on Jingdong East Road are not excluded. The imperial court sends people Under strict investigation!"

Han Shizhong said angrily: "These people are really just trying to make a name for themselves and plunder people's wealth!"

"The most important thing is that there are rumors that you, Han Shuai, allowed them to do this."

"Nonsense!" Han Shizhong's expression changed instantly, "We have a special procurement office for military rations. How could I let them procure food at will?"

"Han Shuai calm down, I naturally believe that Han Shuai will not do this, but people's words can be feared." Geng Zhu looked very calm. He analyzed Han Shizhong, "Han Shuai is fighting on the front line now. He not only captured Fuzhou, but also Now he has conquered Goryeo and achieved great success, and..."

"And what?"

"And what kind of pattern Goryeo will have next is already very clear. Jiaozhi has established the Annan Protectorate. Will Goryeo set up the Andong Protectorate?"

Han Shizhong fell into deep thought.

"Once the Andong Protectorate is established, who will serve as the Protector?"

This is a fat mess.

The continuous dispatch of a large number of town supervisors from Jingdong East Road explains everything.

When the newly emerged territory was still empty of power, various interest groups had already set their greedy eyes here in advance.

And Han Shizhong, as the former commander-in-chief of the army, the one who made the greatest contribution, had a great influence on the Anton Protectorate.

If all interest groups want to develop their own interests in the Andong Protectorate, they cannot avoid Han Shizhong.

However, Han Shizhong was a military commander and did not have deep connections with many people in the DPRK. He could not directly discuss many interest negotiations that were not brought to the table.

So, what's the best way?

It would be best to go with someone you are familiar with.

Since ancient times, where there are interests, there will be struggles. Half of Goryeo's meat has been obtained.

Han Shizhong looked at Geng Zuo and said, "You mean, someone deliberately incited rumors and framed me?"

"When Han Shuai captured Fuzhou, people in the court said that Han Shuai was alone overseas and wanted to support himself with troops. Now that Han Shuai has captured Goryeo, they..."

"They want to say that I want to stand on my own in Goryeo?"

"While they are saying this, they are also playing tricks behind their backs," Geng said.

"Since the rumors about this matter involve me, the Military Governor's Office will naturally come forward to investigate." Han Shizhong said.

Han Shizhong was a general and even a handsome man.

But when he said this, he obviously lacked political talent.

There is a very important rule in the political game: take sides.

When the leader says that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, everyone will applaud.

The leader says that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Only those who are truly loyal to the leader will applaud.

Referring to deer as horses is a good example, which Zhao Gao used to exclude dissidents.

Therefore, many times, the truth is not important. What is important is whether you stand on the same line as me.

The reason why people come together is either because of interests or emotions.

The summary is: making money together and having people and things that we hate or like in common can unite people.

"Even if the Military Governor's Office investigates and finds out the truth, word of mouth has already spread. Won't the ministers in the court have a grudge against Han Shuai?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Han Shizhong said, "Is it possible for me to write a resignation letter to His Majesty and the Military and Political Council now?"

"No, that's not what I mean. I want to say that Han Shuai lacks a political support. Once Han Shuai has such a support, the situation will be much more stable."

"Rely on the political situation?" Han Shizhong wondered at this sentence, "I have a good relationship with Li Gang and Mr. Li Xianggong."

"Li Gang is too upright and Han Shuai cannot rely on him."

A person who is too upright will naturally not form a party, will not have many people to support him, and will not have many people to side with him.

"That……"

"If the King of Qi is allowed to go to Xijing and defend Xijing, the credit for repelling the Jin army will be added to the King of Qi, so that the King of Qi can become the Great Protector of the Andong Protectorate and become a political force that cannot be ignored in the Song Dynasty. Han Shuai, don’t you have a stable backer?”

Geng Zhu continued: "Furthermore, I heard that Xianggong Cai Mao and Cai Xianggong have a good relationship with the King of Qi."

After talking a lot, Geng finally came back to King Qi.

"Then you mean to send King Qi to Xijing?"

"King Qi must go. This is what King Qi must do to become the Grand Protector of the Andong Protectorate."

Han Shizhong did not expect that this matter would be so complicated and the interests involved would be so deep.

If the King of Qi really becomes the Protector of Andong, with Cai Mao's power in the government and the opposition, and Han Shizhong's military and political line, if it is reported that Han Shizhong instigated violent conquests from the rear, countless people will speak for Han Shizhong.

"What you say makes sense, but going to Xijing is too risky."

"We can send more elites to Xijing."

Han Shizhong thought for a moment and said, "Just do what you said."

In the evening, Zhao Chen received an order from Han Shizhong and he was transferred to Xijing.

The next day, Zhao Chen packed up his things and followed Zhang Qing north to Xijing.

Qin Hui thought that Zhao Chen was passionate and eager to prove himself, so he would definitely go north.

But in fact, he overlooked one point: supporting Zhao Chen was the consensus of the Liaodong Army generals.
