Chapter 617: Zhizhou Xiangliang, Shen Tang is worried
Speaking of which, as the prefect of Shaoxing, Xiang Junliang originally had the hope of entering the court if he was promoted again, and even becoming a minister would be a matter of course.
However, at the end of last year, during the three-year court review, under Xiang Junliang's deliberate manipulation, he only received an average or above rating, so naturally there was no hope of promotion.
Even after leaving the post of governor of Shaoxing, he was transferred to Tanzhou.
The reason for this is that before the review, Xiang Junliang received a secret letter from Shen Tang, and he secretly met with Zhang Jun.
"My lord, why should we be anxious?
Come to think of it, His Majesty must have already come up with a countermeasure."
Shen Tang said calmly.
Xiang Liang shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty naturally has a plan, but that old fox Zhu Zhuo is not that easy to deal with, and he is very powerful this time.
It is uncertain, and in the end His Majesty will only be able to tolerate it temporarily.
By then, everything will be too late.
Therefore, Mr. Shen needs to take action early."
Shen Tang smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Sir Xiang, now Shen has no power or position, so even if he wants to take action, he is unable to do so."
"Hahaha!"
Xiang Liang laughed loudly, "Who doesn't know that Lord Shen has a plan?
If others say there is no way, Xiang will naturally believe it, but when Mr. Shen says this, Xiang will not believe it."
When Shen Tang heard this, he still chuckled but did not speak.
"Forget it, since Mr. Shen doesn't want to say more, I won't ask Xiang more.
However, if there is anything Xiang can be of help to, Lord Shen, there is no need to be polite.
Although you and I have not known each other for a long time, we are still on the same road. However, Xiang, who is a few years older, boldly warned Mr. Shen that although this officialdom battle may not seem as fierce as the battlefield, it is also It is extremely dangerous, so there is no room for any kindness.
For some chess pieces, their destiny is to die, and as long as they die well, that is enough.
Nothing in this world is perfect. If you want to break the situation, Master Shen needs to make a decision early!"
Xiang Liang's words caused a flash of hesitation in Shen Tang's eyes. After a while, he nodded and said, "Thank you for warning me, sir. If His Majesty is really unable to deal with it, then Shen will naturally not stand idly by!"
"Sir Xiang, how are you doing with this batch of treasures now?"
Shen Tang asked.
Xiang Liang looked serious, "Don't worry, since I'm going there in person, nothing will go wrong! Now, the land with a radius of hundreds of miles is guarded by my trusted followers, and no one can enter.
Moreover, not long ago, the first batch of foals was born, more than a hundred horses, all of which are good horses! Now, everything is on track, and it only takes three more years. With this batch of good horses, I will be able to Song can create an invincible cavalry."
The biggest reason why Xiang Liang went to Tanzhou was because the land of Tanzhou had the thousands of good horses brought back by Shen Tang!
Only Shen Tang, Zhang Jun and some confidants knew about this batch of horses, not even Zhao Shen knew anything about it.
Originally, the governor of Tanzhou was a direct descendant of Zhang Jun, but he had to be transferred last year.
Shen Tang and Zhang Jun also discussed several times, but they did not find a suitable candidate.
Because, if you want to do this well, you not only need to be your trusted confidant, but you also need to have sufficient ability.
In the end, Shen Tang thought of Xiang Liang.
Shen Tang and Xiang Liang didn't have many interactions with each other, but they knew Xiang Liang a little bit! First of all, Shaoxing Mansion was adjacent to Lin'an, and Xiang Liang was able to manage Shaoxing Mansion in an orderly manner. Needless to say, his ability.
In addition, although Xiang Liang was also a little greedy for money, he was also loyal to the Song Dynasty.
In addition, there was a friendship between Xiang Liang and Zhang Jun from the same hometown, so after several trials, Shen Tang and Zhang Jun decided to let Xiang Liang go to Tanzhou.
After informing Xiang Liang about the matter, just as Shen Tang guessed, Xiang Liang did not refuse at all. He simply gave up the opportunity to set foot in the court and chose to go to Tanzhou!
After Xiang Liang arrived in Tanzhou, he did live up to the trust of Shen Tang and Zhang Jun. Not only did he take good care of Tanzhou, but the horses were also extremely safe under his care.
"Sir, I leave the matter of Tanzhou to you.
This is a trump card of our Song Dynasty, and it will also be our reliance in the Song Dynasty's southern and northern wars in the future.
It's a pity that it has delayed your official career..."
"Haha..." Xiang Liang smiled and waved his hand, "Shen Tang, why do you and I have to be so polite?
Furthermore, although I, Xiang Liang, dare not say that I am an honest and loyal minister, I am still loyal to the Song Dynasty! It is just an official career, so what if I am a general or a prime minister?
Now, I am cultivating the future of the Song Dynasty in my hands. Isn't it more important than the official career?
You and Xiang Zhang can trust me, I should be grateful to you..."
"Well, it's not appropriate for Xiang to stay here for a long time, so I'll take my leave first.
This time the storm is not small, I hope you can get through it safely."
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Thank you for warning me, sir!"
Then, Xiang Liang covered his body with black gauze and quietly left!
After Xiang Liang left, Shen Tang was walking alone in the hall. Regarding the current situation and turmoil in Lin'an, although Shen Tang had not gone out, the Dark Night Pavilion had collected all the news. Therefore, Shen Tang Understand everything clearly.
This civil-military conflict will not be easy to overcome.
In particular, the civil servants headed by Zhu Zhuo not only planned for a long time, but also became so powerful that even Shen Tang was extremely surprised! Of course he knew how arrogant the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were, but he did not expect them to be so arrogant.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to force Zhao Shen in such a tough way. This can be regarded as a major feature of the Song Dynasty.
As the emperor, Zhao Shen controlled the powerful weapon of the Imperial City Division. If he said that he did not know the plans of these courtiers, Shen Tang would not believe it.
However, Zhao Shen's methods have still not been revealed, but Shen Tang is a little worried.
After all, it is easiest to eliminate this kind of thing at the beginning and cause the least damage.
But when the situation has reached this stage, it is not only difficult to calm things down, but it may also cause considerable damage.
No matter what kind of damage it is, the loss is the power of the Song Dynasty. Especially, there are powerful enemies outside the Song Dynasty now. If the court is in chaos, no one knows the consequences.
Although Shen Tang has left Chengdu Prefecture, Shen Tang still cares about the news about Chengdu Prefecture.
Lu Feng still stayed in Chengdu Mansion, and news would be delivered to Shen Tang through the Dark Night Pavilion every day. Especially when he knew that Wang Huaizhen actually wanted to go to war with the Tubo people directly, Shen Tang was almost shocked.
It is true that the Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but the ones that can be used now are the soldiers and horses of Chengdu Prefecture.
Once the damage is serious, the entire Song Dynasty will be in danger.
