There is no way to make excuses now.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. For the sake of my life and death for Your Majesty, please spare my life."

"When did you go through life and death for me?"

Zhang Jun was speechless for a moment.

"Zhao Mi, you go down first."

"I excuse myself."

Zhao Mi went out, and the veins on the back of Zhao Ning's hand holding the sword popped out.

"I just told you that if you throw those evidences in Tokyo, you will be criticized verbally and writtenly, and yet you are still chattering in front of me."

Zhang Jun knelt there and put his forehead on the back of his hands, sweating all over his body.

"Do you know that this is the Yi people's grave sin!"

"His Majesty……"

"Your son, Zhang Zigai, is twenty-four years old this year?" Zhao Ning's voice was calm, but under the calm, murderous intent surged, "Zhang Ziqi, Zhang Zihou, Zhang Ziya, Zhang Zizheng, Zhang Ziren, the youngest is only thirteen years old, right?"

"Your Majesty, please spare me. Spare my family. Your Majesty can do whatever you ask me to do."

Zhang Jun is greedy, but that doesn't mean he is a cold-blooded person.

This person in history worked with Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei and knelt in front of the tomb of King Yue Fei.

But he was particularly fond of his sons.

Zhao Ning put down the tea cup, drooped his eyelids, looked at Zhang Jun, and asked lightly: "Who else in the court is doing these businesses with you?"

"No...no more."

"Um?"

"More...more."

"who?"

"This person is not an official, but his identity is extraordinary."

"How extraordinary?"

"He...he Yong."

"He Yong?" Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment.

He was actually waiting for Wang Boyan's name, or Qin Hui's name.

But he didn't expect He Yong to appear.

Who is He Yong?

He Li’s son!

He Li is the left prime minister and usually keeps a low profile. After the Guo Jing incident in the early years of Jingkang, He Li stamped his seal on the province and basically did not interfere in any political affairs.

This is also what Zhao Ning wants.

There were two prime ministers in the Song Dynasty in order to restrain each other. There was nothing wrong with the system itself.

However, efficiency would be reduced during the special period of the New Deal, so putting He Li in the position of left prime minister was actually just a decoration. By the way, when sealing, he would be reported to Zhao Guanjia from time to time.

This not only reduced the pressure on Zhao Ding, but also increased Zhao Ning's control over the political hall.

It is a very stable equilibrium state.

It seems that there are really not many people in this court who are clean.

"I'll ask you again, who is Mr. Wang?"

"The official Wang is He Yong, which is his pseudonym. He often travels from the capital to Zhaozhou. His father is the prime minister of the dynasty. No one among the officials along the way wants to have trouble with him, and he has not harmed the interests of officials everywhere, so

They all turned a blind eye."

"Is He Li behind this?"

"This minister doesn't know about it, but if Mr. He doesn't know about it, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"Who else?"

"No...no more."

"Really no more?"

"There really aren't any more!"

"How much money did you make at the border?"

"I made... I made half a million dollars."

"Don't force me to raid your home."

"I made five...five million dollars."

Even though Zhao Ning was so calm, his heart skipped a beat when he heard this number.

For an army of 100,000 people, if calculated based on the military expenditures for the eight years of Jingkang's reign, the annual salary would be 2.4 million guan, plus the food and grass expenditure of 1.2 million guan, the full calculation would be 3.6 million guan.

In other words, the money Zhang Jun alone earns on the border can support an army of 100,000 people for a year, and he still has 1.4 million yuan more.

If we include other expenses of the army, such as armor, weapons, etc., they are all used up.

That can support this army for a year!

According to Zhang Shuye's current calculation of 60,000 casualties based on various estimates, the pension cost a total of 3 million yuan, which is really more than enough.

The remaining 2 million yuan is invested in the construction of three towns in Hebei. It is barely enough for one year, right?

Don’t forget, when Mei Zhili calculated the Shaanxi Sixth Route military expenditure, it was only 6 million yuan a year.

Zhao Ning was silent for a while and said: "Otherwise, if you hand over 500 coins, not only will I not kill you and your family, but I will also protect your official position and continue to be an official of the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, as if a drowning man had grasped the life-saving straw. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the kind-faced Zhao Guanjia.

Zhao Ning knew very well that if Zhang Jun was executed immediately, he would never get 5 million yuan. Zhang Jun would not be stupid enough to put all his money together, and it would definitely be stored separately.

Besides, a piece of shit in the toilet can be thrown into the enemy's face to disgust the enemy. If it cannot be thrown, it can also be used as fertilizer.

A person like Zhao Ning must suck someone's bone marrow dry.

If you can use it, you must continue to exploit it.

Now it is equivalent to buying the lives of your whole family with 5 million yuan.

Zhao Ning knew that Zhang Jun had more than 5 million yuan. In the past few years at the border, his money was not only earned from smuggling in the Song and Jin Dynasties, but he must also have many industries in the Song Dynasty.

It is impossible to make 5 million yuan through border smuggling.

The imperial court's sales business could not earn so much in a year.

Another point is that there must be more than just He Li involved behind the scenes. There must be others involved in Zhang Jun's business interests.

Keep Zhang Jun, don't be in a hurry.

He Li's prime minister must not be able to continue doing this.

You have to change the governors one by one. Changing too many at once will cause political turmoil.

From the emperor's standpoint, external frontier stability and internal political stability are the most important.

"What?" Zhao Ning said with a smile, "Don't want to?"

"Yes! Yes!" Zhang Jun kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for your majesty's grace! Thank you for your majesty's grace!"

"Get up and talk."

Zhang Jun stood up tremblingly and startled.

"I actually want to promote you, I think you are a talent!" Zhao Ning's tone changed again, it was the tone of one who hates iron but cannot make steel, "but you disappoint me so much!"

"I am guilty!"

"You can't escape the charge of Zong Han being let go, it's all on you!"

Then, Zhao Ning changed the topic and said: "But the crime is not worthy of death. I will say to the outside world that you made a mistake and allowed the thief chief to take the opportunity to escape. I dismissed you from the position of deputy general manager of Zhaozhou, but I think you are loyal to me.

I asked you to go to Hangzhou Shipping Department. Trade with Japan has been put on the agenda. You love doing business so much. You can handle the trade between Song Dynasty and Japan."

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

"Don't want to?"

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jun's strength is not fighting at all, but doing business.

Moreover, Zhao Ning's decision to keep Zhang Jun here was not just about letting him do business with Japan.

It is known that many officials in the court want to use their power for personal gain. This matter must not only be banned openly, but also suppressed by invisible imperial means.

And this also involves the issue of power fixed lines.

He Li has been sitting in the position of left prime minister for too long. If a person sits in the same position for too long, the power in his hand will solidify and expand.

Therefore, the Prime Minister needs to change people regularly, but not too many people at a time, at most one person.

Who else does Zhang Jun have contact with?

Did he throw a big fish on purpose just now to divert attention?
