Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 184 The Last Dream in Tokyo 5
"The Prime Minister's State Affairs Office has divided the powers of the military, city, and ship divisions to form the power of foreign commerce and trade, and monopolize the power of overseas envoys. This is nothing. Once the Jiangning Industrial and Commercial Bank of China succeeds in the trial, it will not be a limitation. Yu Southeast, Zhong Liqiu is not an easy person!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Huan took a breath and asked subconsciously, why didn't he understand what Geng Nanzhong was referring to.

But in his opinion, according to Zhao Ji's temperament, he flattered Cai Jing, Wang Fu and others.The Industrial and Commercial Bank of Jiangning has succeeded in trying to raise money in various places in the southeast, and it will be promoted nationwide. Wang Fu, Cai You and others will gain more power, which also means that his position as the crown prince is even more precarious.

"For the sake of the common people in the world, Gu will face the emperor tomorrow, and the bank must not be allowed to expand, it will shake the foundation of the country."

When Geng Nanzhong said these words, he exaggerated the harm of the government office and the bank, and planted a plan in front of the prince to strike at Zhong Liqiu.But he definitely didn't want Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji to have a conflict. The intensification of the conflict between the two palaces would do him harm but not any benefit. Isn't this just asking for trouble?Immediately advised: "Your Highness, you must not, the officials are confused by these traitors, and they are on the rise. I am afraid that some people want to see your Highness speaking at this time. The more critical the moment, the more you have to think twice before acting."

Zhao Huan nodded. He knew who those people Geng Nanzhong said were. Wang Fu was the absolute leader. He was ranked second in Zhao Kai's high school, so he started planning to help Zhao Kai seek the crown prince. This guy just couldn't catch him. He used the excuse to ask him to have a conflict with Zhao Ji. I really don't know what kind of tricks Wang Fu and others will do.

"Struggle, but you can't fight, how can you bear it." Zhao Huan sighed, seeing the world being ruined by these gangsters, he was really not reconciled.

"Wait!" Geng Nanzhong said without hesitation. In his eyes, nothing is more important than Zhao Huanwen's ascension to the throne. What kind of traitors and sycophants are in power, what are the common people? realize his political ambitions.

"Wait?" Zhao Huan sneered bitterly, he didn't know how to keep a low profile and bide his time, but Wang Fu, as a die-hard supporter of Zhao Kai, pressed him every step of the way, and Zhao Ji had an ambiguous attitude. It made him very depressed, and sometimes he really wanted to take the opportunity to make a big fuss, to vent the suppressed anger in his chest.

"Your Highness, why bother arguing with those lucky ministers for the length of the day, the future will last!" Geng Nanzhong said meaningfully.

"The future will be long? At that time, what will the family look like?" Zhao Huan said bitterly to himself.

Geng Nanzhong sneered coldly, and said: "Wang Xiu's first song about the bank actually made adjustments to the quality warehouse business. It is no longer mortgaged goods, but how much money you can borrow based on what you have. Cai You and others Human hands, in my opinion, are more harmful than Kuotian Suo and Yingfengsi. The former are looting, loathed by the world, and resisted everywhere. Banks manipulate loan mortgages, and even intervene in people's livelihood transactions. In order to support it, sooner or later, it will suck the bones of the living people, and the profits will go to the top, and the grievances will go to the bottom. If this continues, the rich and prosperous land in the southeast will be squeezed dry quietly."

"It's really hateful, but it's a pity that the official family is on the rise, hey!" Zhao Heng's eyes widened, obviously he couldn't accept it. The country belonged to his Zhao family, and it was also his.

Geng Nanzhong shook his head and sighed: "The officials were kept in the dark by these thieves, His Highness peeled off the demons in front of the officials, and it was regarded as getting rid of one evil, but the evil that really endangered the country is still there. "

"Is there no good way to turn things around?" Zhao Heng was extremely distressed.

"I think the bank is a great disaster, but for His Highness, it is a timely rain." Geng Nanzhong glanced at Zhao Huan and said meaningfully.

Zhao Huan was startled, looked at Geng Nanzhong in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Where do you start with the Qing family's words?"

"Your Highness, Cai You's struggle for power is a great opportunity for this sycophantic internal struggle. It is well known that the Cai family's father and son are fighting each other. Cai You is desperate to earn fame and fortune. If he wants to kill the second son of the Cai family and break Cai Jing's arm, the collapse of the Cai family is imminent. Wang Xiu's proposal for the office and the bank was Cai Jing's memorial, and it is obvious that Cai Jing used Wang Xiu's solid favor, and he also had the idea of ​​fighting with Wang Fu and Cai You."

"Think about it, Your Highness. Wang Fu recommended Cai Youti to lead the office, and Cai Jing recommended Wang Xiu to build it, and set up the characters in the rooms. The tricks are wonderful and amazing. Cai You's plan to seize the power of the office is a long aftertaste. Wang Fu pushes Cai Jiang to the fore, and let their father and son confront each other again, not only will he be favored but also can sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight, it is the best of both worlds."

"It's one thing for Cai You not to accept favors, but in order to win the favor of the officials, even if it's a trick, he also took part in it. Cai Jing is even more scheming, pushing Wang Xiu to the front, and he is behind the remote control. The credit can be attributed to himself If there is any fault, it can be blamed on Wang Xiu.

"Cai Jing is over [-] years old, so of course he has to go all out. How can Wang Fu not know Cai Jing's intentions, and Cai You doesn't want Cai Jing to continue to be in power. The three of them will naturally have a fight for the power of the office and the bank. They will never There is no time to take care of His Highness. His Highness can take this opportunity to plan calmly and obtain the greatest benefits."

When Geng Nanzhong was speaking, he secretly observed Zhao Huan's demeanor, and seeing a smile gradually appearing on his face, he felt relieved, and continued: "In my opinion, this gang of treacherous sycophants has achieved His Highness's good deeds by fighting among themselves."

"Does the Qing family know who is more likely to win?"

"Cai Jing."

"Oh, this is."

"I think Cai Jing is determined to win. He is the veteran of the four dynasties and the bannerman of Xining's new law. He knows the economic law like the palm of his hand. Cai You is just a playboy. He didn't even let the military state go outside. He knows how to manage the world. With Cai Jing secretly supporting Wang Xiu, Cai You's embroidered pillow, what big waves can be caused, and Zhong Liqiu working as a swindler in the office, Cai You may be helpless even if he knows more about miscellaneous matters. His power in the office will inevitably decline, Wang Wei The wings were destroyed, and Li Xianggong secretly helped Cai Jing."

Zhao Huan was startled, and blurted out: "Li Bangyan?"

Geng Nanzhong said: "Li Xianggong and Cai Jing hate Wang Fu very much, but Cai Jing has no other intentions. Cai and Wang are fighting, and Li Xianggong will definitely help Cai Jing secretly. The public can help His Highness. If you can get rid of your anger privately, you can have the best of both worlds."

Zhao Huan looked out the window with some hesitation. For him, Geng Nanzhong did not hesitate to get very close to Li Bangyan. To put it bluntly, he took refuge in Li Bangyan. Good intentions, what a pity for Chen Bangguang."

Geng Nanzhong understood what was going on. Cai Jing flattered Zhao Huan twice, but was mercilessly shunned. The most serious thing was that Zhao Huan smashed the glassware from the Dashi Kingdom sent by Cai Jing, which caused Chen Bangguang to be sent to the palace.

"That matter can only be blamed on Chen Bangguang, and has nothing to do with His Highness. Chen Bangguang put His Highness in a dangerous situation in order to seek fame. Letting him know the palace is considered an advantage for him. However, since Cai Jing wants to please His Highness, Yichen thinks that Cai Jing is also an understanding A wonderful person who advances and retreats and leaves everything behind, as long as His Highness is beautiful, he will definitely not hold grudges against His Highness."

Geng Nanzhong didn't say any more, he had a vague feeling that Cai Jing would not be easily humiliated, as for Chen Bangguang, he didn't like it, a villain with great ambition and talent, who actually persuaded the crown prince to fight against Cai Jing, should be beheaded.

If you are allocated, you will be allocated. Perhaps it is not a bad thing to lose a competitor with capital.

"What the Qing family said makes sense." Zhao Huan was thoughtful.

"I don't dare, I just fill in the gaps for Your Highness and do my duty as a minister." Geng Nanzhong understands the principle of putting the public first, what Zhao Huan hates the most is people who flaunt themselves and flatter them.

"Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu, how does the Qing family feel about this person?" Zhao Huan thought that Zhu Lian was very optimistic about Wang Xiu, and he couldn't get in touch with foreign ministers often. He only heard about it and met a few times. There is a kind of disgust, but even Cai Jing can be outstanding in extraordinary times, so it doesn't matter if he changes his view of Wang Xiu.

Geng Nanzhong speculated on Zhao Huan's meaning, and said decisively: "This humanistic talent is indeed rare in a century. His full of knowledge makes people amazing, but his character makes people despise."

Zhao Huan nodded, acquiescing to Geng Nanzhong's evaluation.

"I think Wang Xiu has internal and external troubles, and has no malice towards His Highness. He will not be a threat in the short term. He is also a chess piece for all parties to fight for, not to mention that he is a deadly enemy with Wang Fu." Geng Nanzhong stopped talking, with a meaningful look on his face. smile.

"Hehe." Zhao Huan burst into a hearty laugh. In the eyes of scholars, the hatred of dismissing fame is even more unbearable than killing one's father and seizing one's wife. Wang Fu openly used Wang Xiu's paper to talk about it. How many people know Wang Xiu was in a good mood if it didn't reach Wang Xiu's ears, and he said jokingly: "It's the same root, so why bother with each other."

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is waiting outside." Li Quan, the Yellow Gate of the East Palace, said cautiously.

Zhao Huan glanced at Geng Nanzhong, but didn't speak.

Geng Nanzhong understood that it was time to leave, he said softly: "I will leave first."

Zhu Lian drifted in, and Zhao Huan looked at her strangely, and said, "Lady, the official told me to watch you, don't move around too much to loosen your fetal gas."

Zhu Lian smiled faintly, and did not answer Zhao Huan's question, but said: "It seems that Bachelor Geng and His Highness discussed yesterday's matter?"

"Hmm." Zhao Huan felt strange. Zhu Lian was in the inner palace, so why did he know so much about the affairs of the court, which made him a little curious.Being a woman with so much political sensitivity is never a good thing.

"It seems that the officials have already made up their minds." Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Huan, said with a half-smile, walked to the couch and sat down.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "What the lady said is not bad, it seems that the lady also cares."

Zhu Lian was taken aback, and then realized that Zhao Huan's words had a pun, and he was somewhat suspicious that she might interfere in politics, or at least suspected that she had political ambitions. There was no shortage of empress dowagers in the Song Dynasty who listened to politics behind the curtain, but the harem's involvement in politics was a big one. taboo.

She looked at Zhao Heng with beautiful eyes, and said sternly: "Officer, a concubine as an official can't make friends with concubines in the harem, so that I can get some news from time to time, so I rushed to tell the official. It seems that the official has already made a plan , the concubine is busy."
