Chapter 732: Telling the truth and telling lies, sending an order to Shen Tang
"I have met His Majesty!"
Wang Hu saluted respectfully and then stood beside Zhao Shen.
"How are the Tibetan people doing these days?"
Zhao Shen asked.
Wang Hu bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, those Tubo people are obviously very eager and keep bringing gifts to visit the high officials in the court.
However, with His Majesty's orders, naturally no one dares to contact them easily.
Therefore, in the past few days, they have had conversations with the servants of several mansions, but the senior officials have not met them!"
"This is the government office file that the Tubo people visited. However, in order to prevent them from discovering it, my subordinates did not get too close.
Therefore, there is no way of knowing what the content of some conversations is!”
Zhao Shen nodded and flipped through the file twice.
"His Majesty……"
"Um?
If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Seeing Wang Hu's hesitation, Zhao Shen spoke calmly.
Wang Hu lifted up his clothes and fell directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, the chief officer of the post house Zheng Qiannan is also one of his subordinates. When he and the Tibetan Prime Minister were having a banquet alone, the Tibetan Prime Minister got drunk and said something Some unexpected words!”
"Unexpected words?"
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows, "Come and listen!"
Wang Hu first described the situation in detail to Zhao Shen, talking about the critical moment, and then he continued, "The Prime Minister of Tubo said that the reason why Tubo sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Chengdu was because we were deceived by others. Moreover, he claimed that Tubo Zampu had a letter from the force behind it, and that the force behind it also secretly transported a lot of grain, grass, money and other items to them!"
The highest state of lying is that everything you say is true, but through the tone and adding or subtracting some keywords, the meaning of the words changes greatly and even produces completely different effects.
Lu Dongzan's intention was very obvious, which was to continue to provoke internal strife in the Song Dynasty, and to make Shen Tang the target of suspicion among some people in the Song Dynasty.
Although he did not mention anything related to Shen Tang, if you dig deeper, you will definitely find that this matter may have something to do with Shen Tang.
First of all, being able to use large sums of grain, grass, and money and transport it to the Tibetan people was rare even in the entire Song Dynasty. However, Shen Tang not only had a large amount of financial resources to support him, but also had Huge caravans can travel to surrounding countries.
This is evident from the fact that in this battle, the caravans of the Shaosheng and Sheng families were even three points ahead of the state machinery.
Moreover, the ultimate winner of this war is Shen Tang!
Although Shen Tang had also been valued by Zhao Shen before, we have to admit that the victory in the Chengdu Mansion directly allowed Shen Tang to transform from a fledgling newcomer into a leader on par with Zhang Jun and others in the court. exist.
Lu Dongzan threw out a bait. As long as anyone had the slightest suspicion, they would fall into his trap.
When someone really investigates this matter, they will find that the truth is hidden in Shen Tang...
Although the final result may not be found, most of the time, suspicion is enough!
But he didn't expect that Zheng Qiannan was actually from the Imperial City Division. Not only did the matter not spread, but it was suppressed directly.
Apart from Zheng Qiannan, Wang Hu, the only insider, had some selfish motives, which made the development direction of this matter completely out of Lu Dongzan's control.
As for why Wang Hu had selfish motives, this is not surprising! The Imperial City Secretary is the emperor's confidant. Not to mention the civil and military officials of the court, even the emperor's relatives are not taken seriously by them, but as Wang Hu said , this Imperial City Division is composed of people after all, and they also have family backgrounds behind them.
And Shen Tang is worthy of their friendship!
Shen Tang's biggest advantage is not his current power, but his age! He can stand on the court at the age of twenty. In the future, Shen Tang can definitely surpass anyone in the court now! Even if he is suppressed now , but relying on his own merits, he will never die! He will suffer troubles after defeating the tiger! With Shen Tang’s wisdom and methods, it won’t be long before he will become a top figure again! In this case, for this specious Is it really worth it to completely offend Shen Tang?
Even the Imperial City Secretary's promotion is not always error-free!
But this time, he can sell Shen Tang some face, and he can get rewards from Shen Tang in the future.
As for whether this matter was true or false, Wang Hu didn't even think much about it.
The real seriousness of this matter lies in its possible involvement with Shen Tang. As long as Shen Tang is eliminated, it is just an accident. Even the emperor may not care much.
After all, the Song Dynasty has won the war in Chengdu, and the emperor is very satisfied with it. This is enough. As for the cause of the development of the matter, is it important?
"snort!"
Zhao Shen smiled disdainfully, "Let Zheng Qiannan find a way to inquire more about this matter and see if he can find out more information! However, don't cause more trouble!"
"I obey my orders!"
Wang Hu said respectfully.
"Okay, please step back! Leave those files here first!"
Wang Hu saluted and then quietly left!
After Wang Hu left, Zhao Shen couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "It seems that someone is attacking this Tubo man behind his back!"
As he spoke, he picked up the file, which clearly recorded which mansion these Tibetans visited and what happened to them.
Some of them just closed the door, and some of them had a waiter show up to talk! And the time of the conversation also varied.
After scanning several names, Zhao Shen directly threw the file into the water.
"Royal Quan, immediately send an order to Shen Tang, asking him to hand over the affairs of Chengdu Mansion to the deputy general! Return to Lin'an immediately! The Tubo envoy will eventually meet, but I don't trust others to go. This matter will eventually fall to Shen Only he can meet my wishes."
Wang Quan laughed at the side, "Of course, Shen Zhuangyuan was appointed by His Majesty, and he has served the court several times. He can be said to be His Majesty's minister! The only disadvantage is that Shen Zhuangyuan is too young and lacks sufficient Somewhat calm."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Shen laughed loudly, "What do you know? What I like about him is his youth. If he was as calm as those old masters in the court, how could he do something like running thousands of miles?
If you have reached the age of protecting yourself wisely, how can you lead tens of thousands of troops and dare to take down the Chengdu Mansion to face the hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops?
Our Song Dynasty just lacks this momentum. With such ministers, my Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger! Moreover, this also indicates that our Song Dynasty has vitality..."
