The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 325

Wu Wangfu.

Martial King Zhao Dezhao has been in a state of excitement these days.

His father wanted him to stay in the capital to supervise the country, which was the most obvious hint. This was the rhythm of making him the crown prince. He felt that he had to take advantage of this time to make some achievements.

Because only after everyone sees his ability, they will recognize him and make him a prince naturally.

The flowers in the mansion are blooming beautifully, but King Wu Zhao Dezhao has no time to appreciate them. These days, he has been thinking about what he should do after his father leaves the capital, and after much deliberation, he thinks that he should do What he wanted was to solve what his father had always wanted to do but hadn't done because of worries.

There are many quacks among the people, and quacks often ignore the law, and they do things based on their pleasure and hatred.

He knew that his father had wanted to deal with these Jianghu forces a long time ago, let them be more peaceful like other common people, and don't draw their swords to kill people at every turn, but these Jianghu gangsters involve three religions and nine streams, and many people are involved. If you are not careful, it may lead to civil chaos, so Zhao Kuangyin has always turned a blind eye to these quacks, as long as they don't do too much, let's be happy with each other.

But that doesn't mean they don't want to suppress these people.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao felt that his father wanted to do something that he didn't dare to do, and he could help solve it.

For this reason, he ordered people to investigate these Jianghu forces in the capital.

And the result surprised him a bit.

Among the folks in the capital, there are so many gang forces, accounting for almost one-tenth of the population of the capital. Among these gang forces, the largest is the Cao Gang, which is in charge of transportation in the Bianhe River, and the second is the [-] factions in charge of the land. The broken building.

These two forces control almost all businesses in the capital, and their annual profits are staggeringly large.

Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao decided to start with them.

And just when he was thinking this way, Xia He told him that besides that, he should find a way to weaken the power of King Jin and King Wei in the court. King Wu Zhao Dezhao felt very good about Xia He's reason.

In this way, their general policy during the period of supervising the country was determined.

The time to go to Chang'an is getting closer, but Zhao Kuangyin's heart is hard to settle down.

For the trip to Chang'an, but also for the affairs of the capital.

The reason why he wanted his son Zhao Dezhao to supervise the country was to test his ability. If he performed well during the period of supervising the country, he would be able to flex his muscles after returning from Chang'an and take the power of King Jin and King Wei to the test. Removed one by one, so that his son can be the prince with peace of mind.

But he was also very worried. He still knew the two younger brothers, King Jin and King Wei, and they were not easy to save money. It's really hard to say.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu knows himself best. If he was there, he could also entrust Zhao Dezhao to Zhao Pu. With Zhao Pu's ability, he would definitely help Zhao Dezhao to make a career during his prison period. It's a pity that Zhao Pu knew too much His ambition has gradually increased, and he is afraid that the tail will not be lost, so he just needs an excuse to let him resign.

Thinking of this, he ordered someone to call Shen Yilun.

In this case, he had no choice but to entrust Martial King Zhao Dezhao to Shen Yilun, but it was said to be entrustment, but in fact it was more of a restriction, restricting Martial King Zhao Dezhao from doing some things that did not conform to the etiquette and law, so that he would lose ground.

After talking about these things to Shen Yilun, Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was time to leave the capital.

On a morning of warm sunshine and gentle spring breeze in early February, the traveling team left Bianjing City and headed for Chang'an.

Because the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the scenery is pleasant, the journey is not so boring, but Zhao Kuangyin is full of worries, and finally at dusk, he calls Liu Wei to his carriage alone.

After the two monarchs and ministers sat down in the carriage, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Liu Aiqing, can I trust you?"

Liu Wei was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Kuangyin's sudden question, but he said quickly, "What do you want to say, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "I went to Chang'an to find someone, but it's not convenient for me to find someone. I wonder if you would like to help me?"

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and shook his head: "I don't need you to go through fire and water, you just need to help me find that person."

"Yes, I don't know who the majesty is looking for?"

Zhao Kuangyin took out a portrait from the box of the carriage. The person on the portrait was a woman, a woman who looked carefully at everything. Yan's cheeks made people overjoyed because of the sadness.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin take out such a portrait, Liu Wei suddenly thought of something.

"Is this the kind of person that the sage is looking for?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Exactly, her name is Zhao Jingniang. I had a relationship with her when I was nothing. However, at that time, the war was chaotic and I was going to fight the enemy again. I didn't want to hurt her, so I left without saying goodbye. Now, after many years of separation, I finally got the news that she is in Chang'an City, which is why I went to Chang'an in person."

Liu Wei knew the story of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang, so he quickly responded: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will not disgrace the mission, but I am a little puzzled. With your strength, the emperor, is it not easy to find Zhao Jingniang?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "She is humble, if I send people to look for her, I will inevitably be criticized, even if I find her, I'm afraid I can't wait for her to enter the palace, I... just want to know how she has been doing these years. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help sighing, now that he is in the emperor's house, there are more restrictions, such that he can't even have the person he loves the most, owning it openly.

Liu Wei put away the portrait and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely find Zhao Jingniang."

"Okay, I believe you."
-
The spring breeze was soft, and King Jin and King Wei soon found out that Liu Wei was called by Zhao Kuangyin alone. After they knew it, they were all guessing what Zhao Kuangyin asked Liu Wei to do, but Liu Wei didn't mean to reveal it at all, so They guessed nothing.

Jin Wang wanted to ask Liu Wei several times, but he was worried, because since Zhao Kuangyin called Liu Wei alone, it must be a secret matter. If Liu Wei told himself, would Zhao Kuangyin suspect him?
The team walked slowly, getting closer and closer to Chang'an.

In the afternoon of this day, the sun was quiet. When the team was walking forward, they encountered a group of migrating people. There were not many people, about a hundred or so. Among them was an old man with a gray beard who looked thin and held Holding a banner with the word divination written on it.

When Liu Wei saw the old man, he immediately became interested and ordered someone to call the old man. After being called to the army, the old man seemed trembling, his calves felt weak for a while, and he trembled when he spoke.

Zhao Kuangyin and King Jin were very curious about what Liu Wei was looking for with a fortune-teller. Could it be that he wanted to tell fortunes?
And when they were curious, Zhao Kuangyin guessed a little bit, he thought that Liu Wei might want the fortune teller to tell where Zhao Jingniang was, but when Zhao Kuangyin thought so, he shook his head unbelievably, he I don't really believe the words of these quacks.

But since Liu Wei was looking for it, he felt that there must be a reason for Liu Wei, so he didn't stop it.

Liu Wei asked after seeing the fortune-telling old man, "What's your name?"

"Villain Li Buyi, I kowtow to my lord, the villain has done nothing wrong, my lord..."

"You don't have to worry, I know you didn't do anything wrong, I just want to ask you, you are a fortune teller, you must have good eloquence..."

"This... is not bad."

Liu Wei smiled: "You fortune tellers not only have good eloquence, but also learn to observe words and expressions. The so-called divination is just deduced by observing words and expressions, isn't it?"

"This……"

Liu Wei's face suddenly changed: "In front of this official, you'd better tell the truth, or you won't be able to get out of here today."

Li Buyi suddenly knelt down to Liu Wei: "What your lord said is very true, in fact, we are just doing nothing in this business."

Liu Wei was very satisfied with Li Buyi's reaction. After nodding, he said, "Okay, since you are eloquent, then follow me to Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, how about getting the same amount of money every day?"

"Really...Really?" Li Buyi was a little excited, a day's money is not a small amount.

"Of course it's true, but you can't just let you take the money. After you go to Chang'an City, I want you to do me a favor, would you like it?"

"Willing, willing, as long as there is money, the villain is willing to do anything."

Li Buyi didn't even ask Liu Wei what he wanted him to do, and he agreed to everything, and he was very excited without doubting it. In fact, this is easy to understand. A person like him has reached this age, but still No one likes running around. If he has money, he can also buy a piece of land and build a house, and live his lower body in peace.

The so-called running around is not because they like to run around, but because they have to do it for survival.

After agreeing to Li Buyi, Liu Wei ordered someone to arrange for him to go to Chang'an with them. After the arrangement, Zhao Kuangyin called Liu Wei. Asked curiously: "What is Liu Aiqing looking for with a fortune teller?"

Liu Wei smiled: "Of course it is to help the Holy Majesty find someone. I feel that it is a bit troublesome for us to find Zhao Jingniang, but it is much easier for Zhao Jingniang to come to us."
