This is another day of morning court, and now it is Kaiping Wang Gaoyong who is out to start the performance. This old prince usually cherishes his words like gold and seldom says anything in court. Today, everyone feels strange and curious when he speaks.
Listen to what he has to say.
Zhao Huan also felt strange, and when he heard what he said, he felt even stranger.
There are water bandits in the Yangtze River? And they are still entrenched in Yangzhou? But why didn't any official along the way south of the Yangtze River report this matter, but this idle prince knew about it?
Zhao Huan's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced downwards: "Who can tell me why no one reported this to me? Instead, Prince Gao got the news?"
All the officials he saw lowered their heads. Although Zhao Huan was a useless emperor, he was still an emperor. Sitting on the dragon throne and with such an atmosphere, not to mention that he had worked hard from the position of prince to the present.
Yes, he still has some of the momentum of an emperor.
There was complete silence in the huge court hall, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
Zhao Huan became more and more angry: "Can you just pretend to be deaf and mute and get away with it? Wang Shiyong, I want you to immediately withdraw the Yangzhou magistrate back to the capital. I want to ask him face to face how he became a local magistrate!"
Wang Shiyong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was called by name and had to stand up. He looked embarrassed and was about to answer when he heard a voice on the side saying in a weird voice: "Guan family, Prince Gao is in Bianjing but he doesn't care about people thousands of miles away.
He knows Yangzhou like the back of his hand and is indeed worthy of being the mainstay of the Song Dynasty."
The person who spoke was none other than Liang Shicheng, the great master of the dynasty. Unlike others, he did not speak out of line. He just stood there without even making any clichés. This was absolutely disrespectful. Zhao Huan was already unhappy. Now,
He even looked away with an unkind look.
Master Yong's old eyes narrowed slightly, Liang Shicheng was cunning and cunning, his words were overtly complimentary and covertly derogatory, and could even be called very heart-wrenching. What does it mean to be in Bianjing but know everything about thousands of miles away? It was clearly alluding to his hidden whistles.
Bad intentions.
However, Liang Shicheng is an old fox, and Master Yong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He replied unhurriedly: "You know too much to take it seriously. It's just a coincidence. A few days ago, my boy went to Jiangning Mansion to play, and he met him in person when passing by Yangzhou.
I almost lost my life because of this, if Taifu Liang doesn't believe it, you can send my boy to ask."
Just as Liang Shicheng opened his mouth to speak, Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "No need, King Kaiping is loyal and upright. I don't believe he would deceive the king."
"The official sage!" Lord Yong sang loudly, and before Liang Shicheng could speak again, he went on to petition for the establishment of a naval camp in Yangzhou, and made a thorough explanation of the benefits and benefits involved. Yangzhou is located on the east and west roads of Huainan and Jiangnan.
At the junction of the East Road, it is a perfect place to set up a naval force. In the future, no matter where there are water bandits, they can get there as quickly as possible, which is more convenient and faster than anywhere else.
Zhao Huan was sure immediately, but what he was thinking about was not water bandits, but what he was thinking about was that in the future, if the Northern Front of the Song Dynasty could not be defended, and the Jin people drove them to the south, they could still rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. It would be good to set up a water army camp in Yangzhou.
Lay a line of defense in advance for your future escape south.
Liang Shicheng and Yong Ye had never dealt with each other, so how could they be willing to let him go so smoothly, but when he was about to speak, he saw that Yong Ye had already retreated into the queue, lowered his head and frowned and said nothing. Liang Shicheng couldn't help but be startled, he thought that Yong Ye had spent so much time
Big events will eventually recommend his people to run the navy, but it seems that is not the case now.
Could it be that he was really after the water bandits? Why didn't I receive this news?
In the midst of his doubts, Zhao Huan spoke again: "Let the Privy Council handle the matter of the naval forces as soon as possible. The Yangzhou magistrate will immediately remove them, and the officials will select a wise man to take up the post."
Wang Shiyong just responded, but he saw someone else coming out: "I am telling the officials that the water bandits are causing harm to the countryside. They should be eradicated as soon as possible to eliminate the troubles for the common people. This matter is not a trivial matter. I am willing to recommend someone to be the prefect."
Liang Shicheng immediately shut up, because the speaker this time was none other than Dazai Zhang Bangchang, who had just returned to Beijing from the Zhending Camp of the Jin Army.
Zhang Bangchang has been away from the DPRK for several months since his mission to Zhending. However, he is the Prime Minister of the DPRK after all, and his status is respected. Even Liang Shi Chengdu has to respect him a little, not to mention that Zhang Bangchang came back to Beijing with a mission -
-The Jin army is approaching Bianjing, and he needs to come back to discuss the price of peace negotiations with Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan became curious. He was also an old fox. His favorite thing to do usually was to follow the crowd, and he rarely took the initiative to recommend anyone, but this time he spoke up for the first time.
"Oh? I wonder who Zhang Aiqing recommends?"
Zhang Bangchang glanced at the position not far behind him, and said respectfully: "The minister recommends the emperor's younger brother, Your Highness King Xin."
"This..." Zhao Huan was in a daze. Zhang Bangchang had no contact with Zhao Zhen, so how could he think of recommending him?
Liang Shicheng was secretly happy. Zhao Zhen had always been on good terms with Zhao Gou and often opposed his gang members. Now that he had the opportunity to send him to Jiangnan, far away from him, that would be the best thing.
So he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Xin is smart and wise, and he knows the affairs of Yangzhou Prefecture and is supported by me."
Zhao Huan frowned slightly. Now he didn't want to do anything Liang Shicheng wanted. But just when he was about to veto it, he saw another person came out and said: "Let's report to the official family. Although His Highness King Xin is young,
He is young, but his talent and reputation are far-reaching, so he will definitely be qualified for the job, and the humble ministers also seconded the proposal."
Zhao Huan stopped talking at this time, because the one who came out this time was his close confidant, Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Hui. Since even he had said yes, he would simply give Zhang Bangchang face. As for Liang Shicheng's second opinion, he automatically ignored it.
"Okay, I'm sure."
"Thank you, Guanjia!"
Zhang Bangchang, Liang Shicheng and Qin Hui thanked each other in unison, but Qin Hui did not go back. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I am going to report to the official family. I will send you another memorial."
Zhao Huan was overjoyed. After waiting all morning, the main show finally started. His expression remained unchanged and he asked warmly: "Qin Aiqing, what is the memorial?"
"A humble minister wants to join a treacherous minister who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors." Qin Hui held the memorial in both hands, paused for a moment and then said slowly, "Teacher Liang Shicheng."
There was a deathly silence in the court room, followed by an uproar.
Everyone looked shocked. They couldn't believe their ears. Has Qin Hui lost his mind and gone crazy? How dare he interfere with Taifu Liang? Doesn't he know that all the power in the court is in the hands of the Liang Party? Does he think that a mere official can really do this?
Isn't it possible to combine hiddenness with each other?
Everyone knew these words, but of course no one would say them out loud. At this time, pairs of eyes focused on Qin Hui with various complicated expressions, including sympathy, pity, ridicule, and sarcasm.
Liang Shicheng didn't expect that Qin Hui would suddenly attack him, but he was very deep in the city, so he only smiled coldly: "Oh? I don't know what the crime is for Mr. Qin to participate in my official position?"
Qin Hui didn't even look at him, he just opened the memorial in his hand and said loudly and forcefully: "I joined Liang Shicheng, collaborated with the enemy and treason, formed a party for personal gain, sold his official title, and supported the soldiers of the government, a total of twenty-three serious crimes!"
