Da Song: Shhh, I'm really not a prince

Chapter 428 Zhang Kang: "Old minister?"
-
From the back door to the front hall, there is also a small room for resting. The lights in the small room are dim. Zhao Shi walked into it. He walked to the innermost part, raised a curtain, and looked into the front hall...

front hall,

There are three people,

There are two quarreling, one is a flower appreciator, and the flower appreciator doesn't care about him, the two people who quarreled, one is 43-year-old Ping He, and the other is 44-year-old Fang Yue, Fang Yue is now pointing at Ping He. Crane cursed loudly: "You are greedy for money and lustful, and you don't know how to live or die. Do you really think that I don't know?"

"Ru, you..." Ping He: "You spout blood."

"Blood spit?"

Zhao Shi turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong returned it like a dog, blowing on the dirt on the brocade stool. Zhao Shi shook his head, then sat down Shi Shiran, raised his legs, and continued to look at the door curtain with great interest. , Seeing Pinghe's whole person, he was obviously panicked. After all, it was late at night, and no one paid attention to him for so long, but... this is the palace!Under the eyes of the emperor, and these new emperors are puppets without power or power: "How dare you?"

"Pooh"

Fang Yue, on the other hand, became more vicious: "Why don't you dare? The old man has a clear conscience, how about you? How dare you say you didn't do anything?"

If he was not sure that his whereabouts should not be noticed by the three people inside, Zhao Shi really doubted whether this Fang Yue knew something, so he deliberately picked such a time so that he could deal with Pinghe. After all, from his own Judging from the information obtained here, of course, I have arranged for him to talk about him, but the commander of the Xiang army, Song Shanhe, seems to have seen something, and if the Xiang army is abolished in the future, Who is likely to jump out and resist,

Not surprisingly,

It should be him too.

Therefore,
Anyone who has a little brain, at this time, understands that being involved with this person, not to mention the great crime of punishing the nine clans, is definitely not a good thing...

interesting,

Zhao Shiyou sat a little further forward, but instead, he looked at the 50-year-old man who was calmly drinking tea and was one year older than Bao Zheng. He should be Zhang Kang. Moreover, he It is indeed like the rumors, he is obviously dressed as a scholar, but his whole body is as strong as a door wall, this will... a slight sneer...

perhaps,

These three people didn't know the emperor's specific plan, nor did they know that the emperor had actually eavesdropped, but, as people who had been watching for many years, they were summoned by the emperor for no reason, and they could still guess that the emperor should arrange for themselves. It's a special mission, so it's okay to summon it as soon as you arrive. After waiting for such a long time, it is inevitable that some people will move their minds to exclude others, let alone...

This sentence,
It may be problematic to use it in ordinary times, but it is extremely appropriate to use it at this time... that is...flies don't bite seamless eggs. Even if Pinghe has no deep contact with Song Shanhe, it must be, indeed, After receiving money from others, he hesitated, and even, a little ashamed, shouted in horror: "Do you have evidence?"

"Ah!"

Fang Yue didn't even bother to look at him: "You don't know, really think that Song Shanhe is someone easy to get along with? Believe it or not, you haven't left the palace tonight. Tomorrow, you have been bribed by him. Can it be spread like an uproar?"

Kang Zhang,

Zhao Shi,

These two people who didn't really care about it and were just eavesdropping frowned slightly. On the contrary, Ping He, who was listening, couldn't help but retorted: "Let's talk nonsense, let alone talk, it is impossible for the old man What kind of bribes do you accept from him? Even if you accept bribes from him, he came to bribe the old man to let the old man do something for him. Since he asked the old man to do things for him, how could he spread it out for no reason? Going out will not only ruin the old man's future, but what good will it do him?"

"so……"

Fang Yue disliked Ping He more and more: "The old man just reminded you in a kind whisper, because Song Shanhe also gave the old man a few pieces of gold, but he never thought that you don't appreciate it, so the old man couldn't help arguing with you. , your brain is not working well, think about it carefully, why did the officials call you and me here today?"

Zhang Kang's fingers were already slightly rubbing against the edge of the teacup. Ping He glanced at Zhang Kang, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It is said that it is... the Jianxin Army?"

Obviously,

Although Zhao Shi's purpose is clear, and those who work for him, whether it is Di Qing, Han Qi, or Yang Wenguang, are still tight-lipped, but there are still a lot of real information leaked out, saying that they are building a new army, but, It is inevitable that no one will guess that it is the disarmament of the old army.
At least,

Regardless of whether it is true or not, as the commander of the Xiang Army, Song Shanhe feels that it may not be a bad thing to ruin the new emperor's plan, even if his ultimate goal is really to suppress the already severe military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty. A mountain, then he is not at a loss, and he may not be ready to rebel and protect himself at this time, but if he can pull more people into the water and pull him to his side, after all, it will not be a bad thing.

And as for,
Why did you give a bribe, and then expose it yourself? First of all, this is not a serious crime. As long as you don’t let the bribe recipient know that you have exposed the bribe, the bribe recipient will definitely compare with you, and only take a few taels of silver against yourself. Get close, this is called, call your face muddy, pull you and me to pee your pants, secondly, Song Shanhe clearly knows that his status has basically come to an end, even if he bribes all the gold and silver, it is probably impossible I have climbed up again, so I don't really care whether the bribe-taker's own future will be greater and bring more benefits to himself. Therefore, he is not so much a bribe and wants to ask for help, it is better to say that he is... It is obvious that there are certain targets that are not quite right, so try to pull as many people into your quagmire as possible.

It's called... collusion.

Therefore,
of course,

Zhao Shi hadn't seen this Song Shanhe yet, but he already sighed slightly: "Yeah, he's a talent." Like Zhao Shi, there was also Zhang Kang who sighed a little, and Zhang Kang couldn't help but look at him. The two people in the distance asked aloud: "Do you know how many people Song Shanhe has given gifts to during this time?"

This……

Obviously,

Zhang Kang and these two people were obviously at odds. The two of them, whether it was Ping He or Fang Yue, obviously hesitated for a while, and then Fang Yue shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know, but there should be quite a few of them." , but, it should be Ping, Du Yuhou, you know more, right?"

平，
Du Yuhou,
That is Ping He, inevitably a little helpless, Fang Yue has an opinion on him, and the reason is that his position as Du Yuhou is more or less squeezed out of Fang Yue, and then, even if the emperor is not there, he hastily shook his head and said: : "The old man has never accepted bribes, but the old man has indeed met Song Shanhe's envoy, and...also...had a few conversations with him, from the envoy's words, there should be quite a few."

"Say..."

Speaking of which,

Ping He still couldn't believe it: "He will really, take the initiative, explode?"

"Not necessarily."

The three of them were startled, and immediately saw a young emperor, wearing a red robe, a jade belt, and a black cape, Shi Shiran walked in, and then, the three trembled almost at the same time, Then, those who were sitting bounced up, and those who were standing straightened up, then knelt down and kowtowed in unison: "Minister, please see Your Majesty."

"Be flat!"

Zhao Shi did not hide the fact that he eavesdropped. Of course, no one would say that he eavesdropped. At most, it was said that it accidentally reached the emperor's ears, and then he explained straightforwardly: "With Song Shanhe's intelligence, On the second day, he might not come out, but in the future, if he senses something is wrong, he must be able to figure it out. You guys won’t dare to risk a big deal with him for a few taels of gold and silver, so instead of waiting Since you are helping each other, why not just... burst out and drag you into the water, presumably, he thinks... as long as he pulls enough military generals and literati into the water, I... will be a little bit afraid..."

if we assume,
When Fang Yue said just now, Ping He still had some doubts about what he said, but now... he wished he could slap himself who accepted the money last night to death, you... are you out of your mind?Dare to accept this?Then, Ping He was trembling, unexpectedly, the other two stood up, but he was still lying on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

And Zhao Shi,
and ignored him,
of course,

Compared with some minor shortcomings, Zhao Shi actually values ​​a person's ability more. However, while he values ​​ability more, it does not mean that he does not require personal virtue at all. Therefore, for a greedy person like Pinghe, since he He didn't want to get up, Zhao Shiye didn't force him, but looked at Zhang Kang with great interest...

"Twenty years ago,"

"The old general asserted that Li Yuanhao has a cruel and bloodthirsty temperament. If he doesn't stop it, he will be a trouble for the Song Dynasty. Later, it came true. More than ten years ago, the old general was ordered to go to Xixia alone. He was unscathed, and he regained the Qiang people and resisted Xixia, which can be said to be a great military exploit."

Zhang Kang...

I froze a bit,
then,

Seemingly, he smiled wryly, and then, more or less in a daze, said: "The officials are absurd."

Is it absurd?
Do not,
Zhao Shi shook his head. If Di Qing's highlight moment was the pacification of Nong Zhigao, and Di Qing didn't actually create any brilliant achievements in the Xixia battlefield, then a large part of the Xixia battlefield's highlights belonged to the strong man in front of him. A Confucian general who pretended not to be a literati, of course, Zhang Kang obviously didn't want to mention this paragraph very much, Zhao Shi didn't have to praise him, praised him, nodded his head, but asked with some expectation: "Old general, what do you think?" What do you think about this?"

what's up?

of course,

Zhang Kangming may not be willing to mention the war in Xixia on the surface, but deep down, obviously, just a few words from Zhao Shi, he was a little touched, and he reacted for a long time before he was a little aggressive He cupped his hands and said: "It depends... Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Oh?"

Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows...
