She asked: "Over there in Shu, which of the two gentlemen do you think is suitable?"
Ming Yu was deep in thought, glanced at Ji Yuan, and said in unison: "Zhao Xin."
Oh, her cousin Xin, who is now the imperial censor in the imperial court, is a good brick. It needs to be moved wherever it belongs. "Is Zhao Xin still in Liang County now?"
"Yes," Mingxue paused and said, "There has been no news recently. Do you want to send someone to ask?"
Liang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Sizhou, not far from Yuzhou. In the past ten days, someone reported that a caravan passing through Liang County was robbed by many people. It was rumored that the local wealthy family and the county magistrate used Wubao as a convenience to pretend to be mountain bandits and robbed them. So,
Zhao Hanzhang asked the Yushitai to send a censor to investigate.
The Yushitai chose Zhao Xin.
Zhao Hanzhang asked: "How many days has it been?"
After doing some mental calculation, Ming Yu said, "It's been six days."
It was quite a long time. Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Let Zhao Shen lead troops to Liang County. If the information reported is false, then the bandits will be suppressed. If it is true, then Wubao will be destroyed."
Zhao Hanzhang paused after saying this and asked: "How many Wubao are there in Liang County? Didn't Shi Le pull out all the Wubao?"
Shi Le was an expert at destroying forts. During the battle between the two sides, he captured the city and destroyed all the forts visible on the road.
Zhao Hanzhang was very heartbroken at that time. After all, although these Wubao were private forces, once they encountered foreign invasion, their resistance could continue the life of the dynasty.
But after the war ended, she actually felt... not bad, and she naturally enjoyed the results.
Wubao's power is naturally beneficial to the outside world, but internally, it would be a lie to her father, oh, no, it would be a lie to her.
But she never thought about using strong methods to eliminate Wubao. After all, she made her fortune from Wubao. If she put herself in his shoes, if someone wanted to destroy her Zhao family's Wubao, she would definitely fight to the death.
Therefore, in order to prevent others from fighting against him, Zhao Hanzhang decided to adopt a gentle policy and dismantle Wubao in a silent way.
But if some Wubao seek their own death and dare to rob passing merchants and even ordinary people, then she can't be blamed.
"I don't care what their identity is, as long as there is robbery, they are all bandits. If they are bandits, they can be suppressed!" Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Shen to replace Zhao Xin and let Zhao Xin come back.
Zhao Shen was overjoyed when he received the order. He immediately took the order and went to the military camp to order troops with a handwritten letter.
Although it is interesting to watch older single soldiers go on blind dates every day, anyone who organizes so many blind dates will get bored. At this time, let alone suppressing bandits, even asking him to go to the quagmire, he will be pissed off.
Dian followed the order and left. Anyway, just don't let him go on blind dates again.
Zhao Shen received the order in the afternoon and immediately went out of the city to order troops. In the evening, he made a mobilization speech and then quickly prepared food and grass for the trip, mainly dry food that was easy to carry.
The army's granary was independent, and he was marching in a hurry, with only a thousand men, so he prepared quickly.
He didn't go home that night. He led the team to set off at dawn the next day, trying to reach Liang County within one day and start the work the next day.
When the fifth uncle woke up, he found that his grandson had not returned home all night. After asking, he found out that he had gone out to suppress bandits.
Fifth Uncle: "... He ran away without even reporting such a big matter?"
The mountain man said: "Maybe it's a secret, so it's hard to tell the master."
"Fart, if it's a secret, how do you know it?"
Mountain man: "Master, how can you say such vulgar words?"
Zhao Song was silent, repenting in his heart, and reluctantly suppressed his emotions, asking: "Are there many bandits in Liang County? How dare he, a minister of the Ministry of War, be asked to suppress them?"
The mountain people looked around, then lowered their voices and said, "I heard that we are going to destroy Wubao in Liang County."
Zhao Song looked surprised, "Why should we destroy Wubao?"
The mountain people said: "It is said that Wubao is too powerful and does not obey the imperial decree. Some people say that Sanniang wants to push down our Zhao family's Wubao as well."
Zhao Song looked at him with an expression of caring for the mentally retarded, "Mountain people, you don't want to listen to everything when you go out to buy groceries every day. What good will it do to her if you push down our Wubao? Now that Zhao's Wubao is telling the truth, why should she?
Pushwood Castle?”
Mountain resident: "It's because our Zhao family is going to appoint a new clan leader, and we're afraid that he won't listen to Sanniang's orders then."
Zhao Song had a calm look on his face, "Erlang hasn't gotten married yet and has a son. Who should he appoint as the clan leader? Outsiders are too worried."
Mountain man: "But Sanniang is about to get married to Fu Langjun."
Zhao Song was stunned for a moment, then said: "They are old enough and it is indeed time for them to get married. I have urged them long ago."
But I can't help but feel worried in my heart. The Zhao family currently has no clan leader, but Zhao Hanzhang is actually the invisible clan leader.
Zhao Song firstly did not want the Zhao family to fall into the hands of his second wife, and secondly, he was worried that Zhao Erlang could not manage the clan well, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced in allowing Zhao Hanzhang to be the master of the Zhao family.
Many of Zhao Hanzhang's measures were implemented within the Zhao family through Zhao Song and Zhao Ming, his father and son.
Now that she is the daughter of the Zhao family, she naturally focuses on the interests of the Zhao family, but once she gets married...
Even though Zhao Song trusted Zhao Hanzhang enough and kept urging them to get married, she still couldn't help but wonder in her heart, once she got married to the Fu family, could she still take the Zhao family as the main one?
Just as he was doubting, a servant came in and said, "Master, Sanniang is here."
Zhao Song came to his senses and said: "Please come in."
Zhao Hanzhang came in carrying a big fish.
Zhao Song stared at the fish in her hand.
Zhao Hanzhang held up the fish and smiled and said: "This morning Ting Han and I went to the water mill and happened to see fishermen fishing. I took a closer look and a big fish leaped up. I was quick and caught it in one hand.
.”
In fact, it was her feet that were fast. When the fish jumped up, she was on the side. She immediately jumped up, stretched out her legs and kicked the fish, and then the fish was kicked to the shore.
Zhao Hanzhang believed that this fish represented her good luck, so she brought it to Zhao Song with special filial piety.
This is something even her mother doesn't have.
Zhao Song felt her filial piety and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but he still asked first: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
In fact, he wanted to ask, what is your... plan for coming back so early in the morning after you left the city on business?
Zhao Hanzhang said: "First I came to visit my uncle, and secondly I solemnly reported to my uncle that Ting Han and I are getting married."
Zhao Song nodded, "You have both decided to get married for a long time, and it is indeed time to get married."
He paused for a moment, but decided to ask: "Zhao... what are you going to do?"
Zhao Hanzhang sat opposite Zhao Song and leaned forward after hearing this, "Uncle, how about I make Uncle Ming the clan leader?"
"No," Zhao Song flatly refused, "The patriarch must have a direct descendant to inherit, otherwise I won't have the face to meet my ancestors and your grandfather a hundred years later."
"Okay," Zhao Hanzhang did not force him to change his mind and said, "Then let Uncle Ming act as the clan leader and wait until Erlang's children grow up in twenty years."
