The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 867
Besides, Zhao Kuangyin won the Zhou Dynasty by virtue of those brothers who followed him. If it weren't for these people to support him, he really wouldn't be able to ascend the throne of the emperor.

Of course, when he became the emperor, he didn't forget his brothers, all of whom got promoted and made a fortune.

Of course, everyone's official position is different. Among them, a few people with high official positions won the military power in the end.

These people were all relieved of their actual power by Zhao Kuangyin's power to release soldiers with a glass of wine, and some of them were just empty positions.

There are not many people with power and none of them have great power, which is what Zhao Kuangyin wants to see.

The official position of Marquis Yu of the Great Neidu is not very high, and the official position of Marquis Yu of Dianqian, who is not as Dianqian, is high but very important.

He can walk in the palace and is still responsible for the safety of the palace, so this seat is very important!
Moreover, this candidate was appointed by the emperor himself, and other people are not qualified to do such a thing.

Because the emperor's wealth and life are in the hands of these people, the emperor has to pay attention to it.

Besides, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Now Yuhou, the inner capital, is also a confidant of the emperor, and his name is Zhang Qiong.

According to the record in Zhang Qiong's archives, Zhang Qiong was a Taoist from Daming Guantao, a typical northerner.

He took refuge in Hou Zhou very early on, and what's even more coincidental is that at that time he was Zhao Kuangyin's subordinate.

It can be said that he is also a brave general, and what is even more rare is that he once saved Zhao Kuangyin's life on the battlefield.

It can be said that if it weren't for him, Zhao Kuangyin would have been done playing at that time. Do you think Zhao Kuangyin could treat him badly?
There are only a handful of people who saved Zhao Kuangyin's life, Zhang Qiong is probably one of them, so he is very appreciated by Zhao Kuangyin.

After Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, he was promoted to the head of the horse infantry capital and the governor of Aizhou because of his military exploits.

Later, Zhao Guangyi was named the King of Jin, and when he entered the imperial court, he temporarily replaced Zhao Guangyi's Marquis of Yu, the capital in front of the palace.

Although he is the Marquis of Yu, the capital in front of the palace, the imperial guards are all at the discretion of the emperor alone, and he is not of much use, but his most important official position is the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the inner city.

This is also Zhao Kuangyin's trust in him. This big inner capital, Yuhou, is really important. Last time when Zhao Guangyi was rebelling against him, it was Zhang Qiong who was pretended to be Zhang Qiong, so that Zhao Guangyi's people could drive straight into the palace. internal.

At that time, Zhang Qiong was imprisoned. Afterwards, it can be realized that it was too serious and Ouchi's defense was given considerable attention.

Although this Zhang Qiong is his own person, Zhao Kuangyin also needs to guard against Zhang Qiong. This is not a matter of distrust.

So Zhao Kuangyin arranged two assistants for Zhang Qiong. To be honest, they came to monitor Zhang Qiong, and they usually had nothing to do.

If Zhang Qiong showed disloyalty to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Qiong would probably be finished, these two people are the nails around Zhang Qiong.

"Shi Gui, you drank again when you were on duty, didn't you? Do you know that this is a violation of military discipline? And you, Shi Hanqing, wouldn't it be the two of you who drank together? Fifty army sticks let them all have a little memory, so they don't know what military discipline is."

The person who spoke was Zhang Qiong. During his inspection, he found that there were two military academies here who were drunk. One of them was Shi Gui and the other was Shi Hanqing.

They were all following Zhang Qiong, it can be said that they were Zhang Qiong's subordinates, but Zhang Qiong didn't know that these two were sent by Zhao Kuangyin to monitor him.

They were drunk when they were on duty, and no one could save them, so they were dragged out to beat the board.

They still don't know this because they are drinking now and have lost consciousness. After the fifty army sticks, they finally regained a little sanity.

"Hey, what's the matter with my ass, who told you to hit me, you really have the courage." Although Shi Gui's official position is not high, he can be regarded as an officer anyway.

Seeing his current situation, Shi Gui was also furious, Shi Hanqing was dizzy and only asked directly, who gave the order.

"Who? It's Lao Tzu. You have reason. You are violating military discipline. According to military regulations, you will be beaten with fifty military sticks. Why are you still not convinced?"

"I……"

"You guys are so good at insulting the superiors, and each of you beat ten army sticks to let them remember." Zhang Qiong was also quite strict in governing the army.

As long as his subordinates make a little mistake, they will be punished. He thinks that the strict management of the army should kill people, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But he didn't know that the sixty army sticks he hit today had brought disaster to him, was it just because of this?
After Zhang Qiong left, there was a crackling sound from behind. It was the sound of hitting a board, and only two people were tortured.

Afterwards, Shi Gui and Shi Hanqing were sent to recuperate. It was a very coincidence that their families were still together.

Shi Hanqing definitely felt that being alone at home was boring, so the two of them together, they all recuperated at Shi Gui's home.

"Brother, you said that Zhang Qiong really didn't give us face. If you say hit us, hit us. You must know that we are the emperor..."

"Shh, Han Qing can't say that. We must keep our identities secret. If someone hears this, our lives will be lost."

Shi Hanqing was about to say that we are the emperor's people, but was blocked by Shi Gui, who couldn't say this because their identities were kept secret.

"Hmph, many people don't like Zhang Qiong. He is so self-righteous. Who would have thought that other brothers would be punished by him for making minor mistakes in translation, just like when we drink a little wine, we are all punished by him. I was beaten up, and I couldn't swallow my breath."

Shi Hanqing said angrily, the two of them have suffered a lot under your Zhang Qiong's hands. Although it is their fault, they still think it is Zhang Qiong's fault.

Especially Shi Hanqing always wanted to find a chance to deal with Zhang Qiong and vent her hatred, especially today one of their little brothers invited them to drink, can they not go?

As a result, he drank too much without thinking, and Zhang Qiong found out that his butt blossomed without thinking, so he was very angry.

"Hanqing, we didn't find any wrongdoing by Zhang Qiong's side, so it's quite difficult for us to do this. We can't frame him!"

Shi Gui was also dissatisfied with Zhang Qiong, because of what, not because Zhang Qiong was too strict, Shi Gui couldn't stand it, and wanted to catch Zhang Qiong's braid.

But no, so I have been enduring it all the time, but today I was beaten again. It seems that they have suffered a lot under Zhang Qiong's hands, but no one would have thought that these two military schools would do something together later. big event.
