Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 197 Two birds with one stone

The emperor transferred Bao Zheng from Hebei from the position of transfer envoy, but did not clarify Bao Zheng's next position.Moreover, the emperor also called Bao Zheng to Da Nei several times, and gave him a letter, asking Bao Zheng to let him write out his vision for the establishment of a police department.

Before the emperor supported Fan Zhongyan to start the Qingli reform, he called Fan Zhongyan to Tianzhang Pavilion to ask for advice.This signal was already obvious. People with bright minds no longer entangled with the affairs of the Police Department. Although they would not express their approval or disapproval, at the same time, there was another frenzy of public opinion about the matter with the third prince.On the seventh day of April, more than 30 officials knelt outside the Xuande Gate and asked the emperor to put the country first and let the third prince out of the palace.This group of people is also fighting for the glory and wealth.

The emperor was under a lot of pressure. He knew that there were ghosts in it, but there were too few people who clearly supported the third prince, and he didn't have the courage to kill the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.Moreover, Li Buqi thought that the emperor had no intention of favoring the fourth prince, but he only had two sons now, and he would not dare to give up the backup of a crown prince, and he would never dare to send his third son to become a monk.

The more than 30 officials who knelt and admonished were completely deceived by rumors, but they were not dealt with at all.The emperor's hesitation can't be concealed from others at all, and someone prescribes medicine to the emperor's hesitation.So on the afternoon of April [-]th, when Li Buqi was in the Military Weapons Supervision, the emperor thoughtlessly gave Li Buqi a gift, and Li Buqi felt that there must be something wrong.After thanking the emperor for the reward, the little eunuchs went to put the rewarded food in the house, and the eunuch Wang Zhongzheng who came to deliver the decree bowed to Li Buqi and said, "Congratulations Li Junjian."

Li Buqi asked, "I don't know why the chief congratulates me?"

Wang Zhongzheng said in a low voice: "This morning, Wen Shenzheng suggested to the officials that Li Junjian allowed Wen Yunwu to know everything about astronomy and geography, so Wen Shenzheng recommended the officials to let the third prince worship Li Junjian as his teacher."

People in the officialdom don't need to speak too clearly.Wang Zhongzheng has already explained the problem by pointing out this matter on purpose. He only needs to say one thing, and Li Buqi knows it in his heart.

What kind of good thing is this? It is because they want to kill the third prince and Li Buqi at the same time with one stone.

Li Buqi sees that Zhao Zhen is a soft bone, and now his heart is biased towards the younger son, so the bottom line is very low, just to prevent himself from being called "unkind".Now Wen Yanbo just gave Zhao Zhen a step, and got the third prince out of the palace in the name of "learning skills from a teacher".

Everyone understands that as long as the underage prince of the Song Dynasty leaves the palace, it has nothing to do with the throne.As for the remaining son, as long as his younger brother is not dead and has no heirs, there is no possibility of inheriting the throne.And if Li Buqi is tied up with a prince who is unlikely to inherit the throne, then Li Buqi will be classified as an alternative, not to mention the next Zhao official family, even the current Zhao official family must be wary of Li Buqi using the prince in his hand do something.Therefore, it is impossible for Li Buqi to have any real power in the future.

This little abacus is really smart.However, Li Buqi just sneered slightly: "It is thoughtful to participate in politics, but it is often difficult to fulfill one's wishes."

Wang Zhongzheng thought that Li Buqi underestimated the seriousness of the matter, and his face was a little anxious: "Officials should not tell others. I guess the officials also have this intention."

Wang Zhongzheng is still young and has a straightforward temper. Such a person is worth dating.Li Buqi smiled and said, "I'm not talking about officials. From my heart, it would be my honor, Li Buqi, to teach the Song Dynasty a prince who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. It's just that things are impermanent." .”

Wang Zhongzheng blinked and blinked, he didn't understand what Li Buqi said, but he couldn't ask any more questions, it was worth going back and returning to his life.

After returning home at night, Li Buqi said to Zhang Yingniang who followed him to the study, "It is estimated that Zhao Guan's family will let his son come to our house in a few days."

"What?" Zhang Yingniang clenched her fists, "What are you doing here?"

Li Buqi said: "On the surface, he wants his son to learn from me, but in fact, he is afraid that his son will kill him, and he wants another son to be emperor, so he will drive this son out, so that no one will gossip. So, if you kill this child, the Zhao family won't feel bad, and will charge your family's officials with a crime. There are many people who are happy to see your family's officials have bad luck."

Zhang Yingniang tried her best to calm herself down and asked, "Does the officer have any thoughts?"

Li Buqi squeezed Zhang Yingniang's face: "The one who knows me is Yingniang too. I have seen that child, and he has a good foundation, so I will cultivate a freak for them. When the time comes, I will take Han Qi and the others." Sacrifice to heaven!"

Zhang Yingniang looked at the murderous look on Li Buqi's face, and nodded solemnly: "The slave family knows that the officials are definitely not willing to be manipulated by others. The slave family will definitely help the officials to complete this matter."

Sure enough, three days later, Zhao Zhen summoned Li Buqi to Chongzheng Hall.At first, Zhao Zhenping retreated to the left and right, and when he had nothing to say, he first asked about how the police department operates, and then changed the subject: "Don't give up, these wonderful ideas of yours are really unprecedented. If I can learn How many points, I think it will not be so difficult to come to the country of Song Dynasty."

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he has his own destiny, so don't underestimate yourself."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's impossible for me to learn from you. Why don't I let the remaining son worship you as a teacher and follow you around to learn skills. I don't know what you want?"

Li Buqi pretended to be confused: "How dare you disobey your orders? I'm afraid that the ministers are not talented enough to teach the prince well."

Zhao Zhen said: "If you have little talent and little learning, I'm afraid that no one in the court would dare to say that you have profound knowledge. After reading your "On Money", I understand why people always propose to make big money but it always doesn't work. It can wake up the dreamer."

Li Buqi hurriedly said, "That's mainly because the scholar named Mao Zhichun figured it out."

However, Zhao Zhen immediately brought the topic back to the matter of apprenticeship: "Your knowledge is really complicated. If you give lectures as before, I don't think it will be good. Why don't you let the remaining son go out of the palace to study with you?"

Li Buqi looked up at the emperor pretending to be surprised, and found that the emperor's face turned red.Not bad, but also know the shame.But Li Buqi couldn't just agree so easily, he just said: "This matter is not in line with the ancestor's rules, I'm afraid it will be criticized by others."

The emperor nodded pretendingly: "Your concerns are justified, but the laws of the ancestors are not unchangeable. I will discuss this matter with the prime ministers. If they agree..."

Li Buqi said: "As long as there is no one to criticize, there is nothing wrong with it. I will do my best to return Your Majesty a prince who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. However, if the third prince really studies with me, I have some requirements."

"Oh, you said."

"First, the third prince must enter the palace at least once a month to pay his respects to His Majesty and the Empress, and make it a regular rule."

"Well, it's natural." Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and finally agreed.

"Secondly, since the third prince wants to study with his ministers outside the palace, it is fine to send someone to protect the prince, but there should not be too many people to take care of the prince's life."

"Well, good." The emperor answered happily this time.

"Thirdly, the third prince is a boy. To grow into a man, a boy must be injured to some extent. Therefore, if the third prince is injured, this..."

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth: "I will never blame you. I can make this clear in the edict."

Li Buqi said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll take over the job."
