Chapter 251 Wu Zhi's Plan
Chapter 251 Wu Zhi’s plan! Fourth update!
Concubine Liu is actually Zhao Fujin's mother.
But based on history, Concubine Liu died of illness at a very young age.
But at this moment she was just a little sick, but she was not as serious as she died.
It is said that Concubine Liu and Zhao Fujin look a bit similar.
She was also the third queen of Song Huizong. Unfortunately, she was posthumously conferred her death after she died of illness.
Now, she is still alive.
There are still some conflicts between the concubine and the queen. Empress Xiansu relies on her being the queen, while Concubine Liu relies on her being favored by the government. It is impossible for the two women to say that there is no conflict.
In addition, Zhao Fujin was Song Huizong's favorite daughter, and neither side could do anything to each other.
Originally, the concubines could not discuss these things, but with the permission of Emperor Huizong of Song, several people communicated casually, but Tong Guan next to him heard it.
Queen Xiansu's words soon reached Wu Zhi's ears.
Originally, Tong Guan had some relationship with Cai Jing, because Wu Zhi often gave Tong Guan some benefits. After all, Tong Guan was a person around the official family. Even if his status was not as good as that of his Duke Zhenguo, Wu Zhi would still be considerate.
He will not take anyone seriously because he is the Duke of Zhenguo.
Tong Guan told Wu Zhi about the matter.
The original intention was to remind Duke Zhenguo that his situation was not so good now, and Cai Jing was in the court, and now Empress Xiansu had shown that Wu Zhi had made great contributions and Song Huizong was afraid of being favored by him alone.
"Thank you, Lord Tong, for your reminder!" Wu Zhi nodded, but it gave people some benefits.
Tong Guan smiled and said, "The Duke Zhenguo is a new nobleman in the court, so there is no need for these things!"
Now Tong Guan doesn't seem to dare to accept the benefits of Zhenguo Duke, but who is Wu Zhi? He believes whatever he says. Whoever wants the benefits is maintained. People are all interests.
Tong Guan is good for Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi is also good for Tong Guan. This is the way to go.
That's why Tong Guan accepted it.
Tong Guan also knew that Duke Zhenguo would have a bigger future, so he would also curry favor with him secretly.
Providing these messages is not just for the benefit of the situation. Instead, we hope to have a way out.
After Tong Guan left, he quietly looked at the silver notes in his pocket and found that there were thousands of taels. He immediately smiled happily: "This Duke Zhenguo is worthy of being Duke Zhenguo, and he is so generous to take action!"
Why!
Tong Guan did not dare to be too involved in the dispute between Duke Zhenguo and Cai Jing.
He only had a little relationship with Cai Jing on the surface, but in fact he was a person who changed his mind.
Before, he intended to be with Cai Jing. Since Duke Zhenguo got up, he has not dared to do so and has restrained himself, but he still has connections with Cai Jing in secret.
Among the two gangs, it was like a fish in water.
As for the news brought by Tong Guan, Wu Zhi suspected that it was a fake news deliberately transmitted by Tong Guan and Cai Jing. He wanted to arouse his hostility towards Queen Xiansu. Once he had any plan, he would reveal his braids and be caught by them.
But it shouldn't be possible.
Wu Zhi believes that many people will have remarks on this aspect, and Wu Zhi is not very hostile even if the queen says this.
Just pretend you didn't hear it.
But this incident also made Wu Zhi feel alert.
Wu Zhi couldn't help but prepare for himself.
If Song Huizong really fears him one day, this is not a good thing.
Wu Zhi was thinking: "Beware of this day, you can only control an army yourself so that you can protect me. Although it is too early to be careful, you have to be careful.
Although I don’t have any idea of being an emperor, I must be wary of others! After all, Song Huizong is an official, and he cannot count on his own wealth and life to change his mind."
Wu Zhi thought about it and it was not difficult for him.
How difficult is it to master the army?
He can send a team out and find a reason to station.
Want to find such an opportunity.
It takes time to wait, but Wu Zhi doesn't want to wait.
Wu Zhi has now conquered a group of confidants, all of whom have no relatives and no reason. Wu Zhi collects them and lets them serve him.
In fact, when establishing the Business Department, Wu Zhi established an intelligence system and a group of his own confidants.
This is a very normal operation for being an official. The group of people Wu Zhi mastered are all people who have no relatives and no worries, and everyone will strictly investigate them.
Give them a lot of benefits to make them loyal and obey themselves.
He came to the Business Department and found someone: "You go and investigate the matter of the Tianhu thief in Hebei. After the investigation, report to me!"
"yes!"
The man left.
The reason why Wu Zhi did this was to cultivate Wu Song.
Wu Song is his younger brother. If it comes to his own people, no one can compare to his younger brother.
Wu Song absolutely protects his brother.
This is also the reason why he asked Wu Song to follow Yue Fei to fight against the Western Xia to establish military achievements.
Then he sent Wu Song to suppress the bandits.
Ask him to take more people out, if one day he has something to do, he will have a base.
And he will also make thoughtful arrangements on his own.
We are cultivating more trusted subordinates.
He knew that Song Huizong might not have any bad intentions towards him, but what about the people around him?
People's words are terrifying. When one day Wu Zhi is really good at making a great contribution, Song Huizong is not afraid of it. People next to him who are in the same camp as Song Huizong will also be afraid of Wu Zhi's power too much, so they are afraid of affecting Song Huizong, their status and interests.
So Wu Zhi did not believe in Song Huizong, but did not believe in the people around Song Huizong.
For example, the Queen Xiansu has such caution now?
Song Huizong could be fooled by Wu Zhi or others.
He didn't dare to say that he could definitely gain the trust of Song Huizong at all times.
During the Chinese New Year.
Officials from the Song Dynasty all have holidays.
Wu Zhi returned to the house.
It was very lively to eat and drink with my family.
Joyful.
The mansion is decorated with lights and brightly lit.
During the Chinese New Year, Wu Zhi asked Zhao San to buy a lot of wine, meat, carbon wood, and gave some servants in the mansion a lot of benefits and rewards for the chef.
As a servant of Duke Zhenguo, the welfare benefits are very good.
The rewards they gave were enough to buy a lot of warm-keeping equipment such as quilts for winter.
Of course, they don’t actually have to buy it. Wu Zhi is not stingy with these things. Every servant has already purchased a lot of daily necessities.
Therefore, Wu Zhi's servants were very grateful and respectful to Wu Zhi, and felt that their master was definitely a good master.
In Wuzhi's mansion, there was actually a previous butler, son and wife of the butler.
The three of them were all in their family and had a meal together during the Chinese New Year. The three of them were moved to tears.
You should know that they are humble servants. When can they sit on the same table with such a big man, they will naturally be grateful to the Duke of Zhenguo.
Unfortunately, they are servants and cannot help the Duke Zhenguo, so they can only secretly want to take care of the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion better and cleaner.
Also more loyal.
After such a long period of observation, Wu Zhi was completely relieved of the three of them.
Because the mansion was given to Cai Jing, the three people were from Cai Jing's mansion before, and Wu Zhi also suspected whether they were Cai Jing's people.
But he stayed, and it was not after observation.
Wu Zhi thought that these people might be able to use them in the future.
Anyone who uses it well has value.
For example, these three people, Wu Zhi, can fake news and let them pass it over.
He didn't believe that Cai Jing would not attack these three people if he wanted to obtain more information.
After all, these people live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and you can know at any time whether Duke of Zhenguo is at home.
After the New Year, Wu Zhi found the family and pulled them into a separate room.
Chapter completed!
