This was not the first time that Heiqi had done something like this. He naturally knew what to do, so Su Shi didn't need to worry about it anymore.
The second thing was that Su Shi met with the northern general Fang Jiugui.
This Northern General is already a general.
Su Shi had no intention of covering up this recommendation. He wanted to use this move to clearly show to others that Fang Jiu valued him.
From now on, whoever wants to cause trouble for Fang Jiugui will not give him face.
"This time I handed over military power and became Bukit Marquis, but it does not mean that I have no power. You have to know that in this world, there is another thing that goes hand in hand with power, and that is money. It just so happens that
,I am rich.”
When he saw Fang Jiugui, Su Shi had no intention of testing him.
Looking at the other party, Su Shi directly named some key points after seeing that Fang Jiugui's head was still red.
"I understand." Fang Jiugui nodded heavily.
If he chooses to surrender to Su Shi, he will not change it easily. Otherwise, such a person will be despised by everyone, and one day he will even become a being that everyone hates.
Yes, it seems that Su Shi has been deprived of military power, and it will be difficult for him to get power in the future. Who can say for sure what will happen next?
Su Shi will only be nineteen years old in ten days. Such a person still has a lot of time in the future. Who knows whether he can make a fortune.
After all, as Su Shi said, he is very rich.
Based on this alone, it is not a loss for Fang Jiugui to join his disciples.
Speaking of which, Fang Jiugui was the first person Su Shi confirmed and accepted from the Song Dynasty military.
Yang Wenguang
Not counting Huyanqing.
They all came from a family of military generals in the Song Dynasty. They were destined to only serve the Song Dynasty, and it was difficult for them to change their ways.
Once there is a conflict between your own ideas and those of the imperial court, they may not listen to you. But Fang Jiugui will.
Lei Meng is the deputy commander of Long Wuwei, and his master is King Jing, who is also not something Su Shi can conquer.
Even if he could, he wouldn't try to conquer it, he would just be causing trouble for himself.
In this way, Su Shi paid great attention to the first general who surrendered to him, and left another 500,000 yuan when he left.
At this time, Su Shi can gain a lot of faith points every day. For him, the most indispensable thing is money.
After stabilizing Fang Jiugui's mentality and confirming that the other party was still loyal to him, Su Shi went to the Huaxia Bank branch in Bazhou City to take a look.
With Su Shi's hard work in the North, who doesn't know his name and who dares to openly oppose him?
This made the banking business progress very smoothly. Although it was not possible to compete with Jiaozi Bank due to the short time, Su Shi believed that this day would come sooner or later.
After all the things that should be done were done in Bazhou City, Su Shi and Pang Ji embarked on the road back to Bianliang City.
Su Shi is not planning to go to Xinzhou. He has been relieved of military power. If he goes there, he will not listen to the imperial edict and will make himself unhappy. Su Shi still has this look.
Pang Ji was very happy about Su Shi's choice. The two had a good conversation along the way. They were both well-informed people and had a lot in common.
The only thing that made Pang Ji a little dissatisfied was that Su Shi returned to Beijing too quickly.
It's too slow. Originally, it would only take a few days, or at most ten days, to get back, but Su Shi was gone for more than two months.
Along the way, Su Shi seemed to be interested in every city he visited. It was a city he must visit every time, and he would stay there for several days. Pang Ji was also drunk.
He even thought that this was Su Shi's intention to let a prime minister accompany him on his sightseeing tour to prove his importance to the world. And all of this was Su Shi's revenge for coming to see Su Shi.
This job.
As an official of the Song Dynasty, if he leaves Beijing for too long, he may leave from the central government. But Pang Ji did not dare to rush. I still remember that once, he just said in a vague way that they could hurry up.
When he returned to the capital, he didn't expect that when he arrived at the next city, Su Shi, who was supposed to stay for only three days, stayed there for seven days.
As a result, Pang Ji didn't dare to say anything and could only slowly drive towards Bianliang City depending on Su Shi's mood.
Just when Su Shi was returning to the capital, a piece of news came that made Su Shi somewhat dissatisfied. Li Di was dead.
He died of illness in bed in his mansion.
Li Di's body was already hollowed out, and it was only a matter of time before he died.
This time, Su Shi was completely offended. As he thought about it, his health became worse and worse, and he passed away just over a month after the New Year.
When he learned the news, Su Shi didn't know how he felt.
Should I hate you or let go of this grudge?
From Li Di's point of view, there was nothing wrong with him targeting Su Shi. This was because he was helping his student, the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, to gain power and clear obstacles.
But in Su Shi's eyes, what he did was wrong.
especially
Especially when he wanted to threaten him with your parents, Su Shi was even more furious.
But now that the person is dead, Su Shi has no chance to take revenge on Li Di, which makes him a little regretful.
Li Di died, and after Pang Ji received the news, he had mixed feelings.
Speaking of which, Li Di often set traps for Pang Ji.
In order to draw him into the chariot of King Jing's line, he took the initiative to dismiss the post of prime minister and promoted Pang Ji to the throne. This time, he even handed over the matter of bringing Su Shi back to Beijing and relinquishing his power.
.
Now that Li Di is dead, Pang Ji can't take off the hat of King Jing from his head, which makes him feel a little unclear.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage, rushing to the next city. In the carriage, they could see that Pang Ji was a little absent-minded, and Su Shi said: "Okay, it's not a loss to protect King Jing. This is a big event in the future."
Emperor Song."
"I know, but it just doesn't feel good to be plotted against." Pang Ji replied, using the word "cool" that Su Shi often used.
"Being plotted? Haha, aren't people always being plotted when they live in this world? In the final analysis, we are just chess pieces, and we must have this kind of awareness. Okay, this time Li Di is gone, and King Jing will be there in the future.
It's up to you to take care of him. After returning to the capital and walking around more, you will find that King Jing is also a future famous master."
After Su Shi sighed, he recommended King Jing to Pang Ji.
Even if Zhao Zhen becomes wary of him, Su Shi will not be able to deal with King Jing very well, at least not as frequently as before. Otherwise, it will not only bring trouble to himself, but also bring trouble to King Jing.
"Um
." Pang Ji agreed immediately.
It's not that he doesn't think highly of King Jing, it's just that he was promoted by Zhao Zhen. Of course, he still needs to take more care of the current officials. But now, Li Di is dead, and he was the candidate recommended before his death. If it were at this time
It would be too deliberate to maintain a certain distance from King Jing.
Thinking about it, everyone in the world thinks that he is from the Jing Wang family, and he can't take off this hat even if he wants to, so he should simply be more generous in doing things.
There is another reason that makes Pang Ji firm in this idea, that is, Su Shi is also very optimistic about Zhao Xi.
Pang Ji had a feeling that if he worked with Su Shi, he would never go wrong.
...
Yanfu Palace.
As usual, King Zhao Xi of Jing came to pay his respects to Queen Cao once every three days.
The Queen is the mother of the world and the true mother of all princes and princesses.
No matter how much Zhao Xi dislikes seeing Empress Cao, even if she has hatred in her heart, she still has to do the greeting. It has nothing to do with anything else. This is a sign of filial piety from the prince.
Zhao Xi came, and Queen Cao was sitting on the phoenix chair, accepting the other party's kneeling, but this time she didn't dismiss it with a few understatements like before. Instead, she said a little more.
"Brother Xi, you are still young, and you may not think carefully about some things. In comparison, your father is truly wise and powerful. Listen to your mother and apologize to His Majesty, and bow your head and admit your mistake.
"
Empress Cao said these words as Zhao Xi's mother, and even showed a very serious look on her face.
Zhao Xi, who had been acting very normal, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. His face was no longer so submissive, but instead had a hint of defiance.
Reverse emotions.
"Um?"
Seeing Zhao Xi who was different from usual, Empress Cao stared with confusion, thinking that she had seen it wrong.
At this moment, Zhao Xi's expression suddenly returned to normal and said: "What the mother taught me is that I will remember it and I will go to my father to apologize soon."
Zhao Xi, who regained his composure, became a good baby again, seemingly completely different from his appearance just now.
But Queen Cao will not forget Zhao Xi's look just now, that look of resistance with a hint of hatred.
But now that Zhao Xi has returned to normal, Empress Cao didn't know what to say, so she said: "Then go ahead."
"My dear, farewell." After Zhao Xi said this, he clasped his fists and turned around and walked away. Empress Cao frowned. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly asked, "Did you feel anything just now?"
?”
"Reporting to the queen, I feel that King Jing seems to have grown up and has his own opinions." Gao Tao, who was waiting on the side, replied loudly.
"You have grown up and have your own opinions?" Empress Cao murmured to herself, but did not say anything else. Instead, she waited until the shift was changed at noon, when another maid, Fan Ying, came to serve her.
The screen retreated and said to him alone: "Send someone to keep an eye on King Jing secretly. I want to know his every move and what he usually says."
"I accept your order." Fan Ying's heart moved and she thought of some possibility, but she agreed immediately.
Empress Cao did not hand over this important task to Gao Taotao because she was worried that her niece would do it because of Zhao Zongshi.
He was so biased against Zhao Xi that the information he reported back to her was wrong.
Fan Ying is different. She doesn't have any inclination. It should be more fair for her to handle this matter.
