The secretariat room in front of the Imperial City Palace.
Luo Yanyi reported to Zhao Kuangyin that a strange thing happened in the palace today.
"Fan Xianggong, the dignified prime minister, followed Wang Hanlin quietly like a thief. He also deliberately pretended that something had fallen off to deceive others. It's funny to think about it."
The responsibilities of the Palace Chief are to guard the palace and belong to the Royal Palace Guards.
The defense of the palace is all the responsibility of the Palace Front Secretary.
Fan Zhi was a scholar, a dignified prime minister, and a very upright man. When had he ever done anything sneaky?
His tracking skills were so poor that the soldiers guarding him on the tower could see clearly and were secretly amused.
Originally, this was just a small episode in the front office, a day's talk.
No one will investigate the reason, and no one dares to offend the Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty.
But Zhao Kuangyin specifically asked him to inform him of any weird and strange things in the palace.
Luo Yanyi didn't know if this was weird or not, so he told Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was slightly stunned and said, "You read that right?"
Fan Zhi is known as the Prime Minister of Qingfeng, and he became the Prime Minister after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. To this day, his character and moral conduct are obvious to all.
Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't believe that he was stalking people in the palace.
Luo Yanxuan said: "I have not seen it with my own eyes, but there are many people who have seen him like this. It is impossible for everyone to take it away..."
Zhao Kuangyin showed some interest in his eyes.
Zhao Kuangyin was acquainted with Wang Zhu. After Guo Rong was appointed crown prince, he returned to Bianjing from Chanzhou and took charge of Kaifeng Mansion.
It was at this time that he, Zhao Kuangyin, became the military envoy of Ma Zhi in Kaifeng Prefecture and became a direct subordinate of Guo Rong.
At this time, Guo Rong had three cronies beside him, two were civilized and one was military.
Wu is Yuan Yan, and one of the two writers is Wang Pu, and the other is Wang Zhu.
Zhao Kuangyin also drank wine with Wang Zhu and had a little friendship.
I know that Wang Zhu is an open-minded person, outspoken and knowledgeable. He has become famous all over the world at a young age.
At that time, Zhou Taizu Guo Wei heard of his name and summoned him as a disciple, so he got to know Guo Rong.
Later Guorong Town Chanzhou...

, appointed Wang Zhu as the observation envoy, second only to Wang Pu's staff.
In Zhao Kuangyin's impression, Guo Rong was extremely affectionate to Wang Zhu. If Wang Zhu hadn't been a heavy drinker, he would have had his place as prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty. How could he still be a Hanlin bachelor until now?
There was a hint of excitement in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he praised: "Well done, go and find out for me what kind of contact there is between Fan Zhi and Wang Zhu."
Luo Yanxuan said excitedly: "I will do it now."
Zhao Kuangyin's heart was filled with excitement. When he went to the palace to conduct inspections and officially became the number one person in charge of the palace, he suddenly felt like everyone was at his feet.
Especially now, Luo Youdu is far away in Youzhou, and Han Tong is busy guarding the internal stability of the Pro-Military Division.
The military is headed by him and respects him. It feels like Zhao Kuangyin can only say four words... a dream.
Fan Zhi's strangeness made Zhao Kuangyin feel that this was an opportunity. As long as Luo Youdu did not return to the army for one day, he would be the number one in the army.
Fan Zhi was the first civil servant.
If the two of them could work together, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
**********
Zhao Zhai.
Zhao Pu and Zhang Jin got together again.
In the past, the two met once every few days to report on the situation.
But since Fu Qing'er received Fu Yu's warning and Guo Rong's condition worsened, Zhao Pu asked Zhang Jin to report the information obtained one day at a time.
The more this time comes, Zhao Pu believes that the opponent's actions will be bigger and the easier it will be to reveal flaws.
The flaws appear in every detail.
Zhao Pu looked at the list he had compiled and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
The connections between the Zhao family and his son were far beyond his imagination.
However, in just over ten days, Zhao Kuangyi personally visited more than 60 distinguished families.
The reason for the visit is very good, so I return the courtesy.
Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to the position of inspection in front of the palace, and most of the prominent people in the city gave him gifts.
Zhao Pu analyzed the relationship between each other through the length of stay, and found that he spent too long with thirty-two of them.
Among them, five are Wang Shenqi, Wang Yanchao, Li Jixun, Yao Yuanfu, and Zhang Lingduo...
Chapter 66: Calculation by All Parties (Page 2/5), click the next page to continue reading.
I stay at home the longest.
These people are all well-known figures from the older generation of the military!
Zhao Pu received the information sent by Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin said: "It's like usual today. I didn't notice any changes in the Zhao brothers. However, when I was investigating Zhang Lingduo, I discovered a strange thing. Not only are we investigating Zhang Lingduo and the Zhao family, there are also a group of people following us.
Likewise, we are also investigating the Zhao brothers."
Zhao Pu was greatly surprised and asked: "Who? Who is investigating the Zhao family?"
Zhang Jin said: "The Han family is the Han family that guards the military department."
Zhao Pu frowned and said, "Han Dianyan? Is he just that big and thick?"
Han Tong's nickname is Han Bingyan, because his eyes are big, and when he looks at people seriously, he looks like he is glaring with anger, which is very scary, so he has the name Han Bingyan.
Zhang Jin said with a smile: "My subordinates went to investigate and found that Han Tong was strong and scheming, but he had a son named Han Wei. Because he was weak and sick since he was a child, his body had been hunched over for a long time, so he was called Lao Tuo'er. This man
Contrary to his father, he was smart since he was a child. When he grew up, he was even more famous for his wisdom. He often did amazing things and every word he said was sure to hit the mark."
Zhao Pu's eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and laughed: "This is interesting... instead of helping his father solve the internal problems of the Guards and Military Division, this camel came over to investigate the Zhao brothers?"
Zhang Jin said: "According to the intelligence we have, they are different from us. When our people followed the Zhao brothers, Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangmei to Zhang Lingduo's residence, we found a group of people monitoring Zhang Lingduo's residence. Before.
It was said in the intelligence that Mr. Wang said we were short of manpower and should not cause trouble. But today, we also found their presence near Zhao's house."
A flash of understanding flashed in Zhao Pu's eyes, and he said: "In other words, they originally monitored Zhang Lingduo, but now they are the Zhao brothers!"
He glanced at Zhang Jin and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know what this means?"
Zhang Jin looked confused.
Zhao Pu tapped his fingers heavily on the table and said: "It means that the ambitions of the Zhao brothers are greater than we imagined. It means that Li Chongjin's dismissal was probably not due to...
Chapter 66: Calculation by All Parties (Page 3/5), click the next page to continue reading.
Because of Han Tong’s stupidity, he fell into the trap of others.”
He stood up, took two steps back and forth, and said: "How did the case of Li Chongjin's criminal defense come to light in front of the officials? There are only two types of people who know the inside story. One is the person who was framed, and the other is the person who framed it."
"Han Tong knows best whether he has done this or not. Now that Han Tong's son is investigating Zhang Lingduo, it means that Han Tong did not do this. Think about it, no matter how stupid a person is, he will not expose his boss, let alone
My boss is still protecting his own people."
"Zhang Lingduo is the Du Yuhou of the Guards and Military Department, and he happens to be in charge of military discipline."
"It's impossible that Zhang Lingduo doesn't know the inside story of this matter..."
Zhao Pu said: "There are two conclusions about this matter. One is that Zhang Lingduo intends to go further and replace Han Tong, so he framed Han Tong. The other is that the Zhao brothers brought down Li Chongjin in order to bring down Zhang Yongde..."
Zhang Jin heard that one was the head and the other was the big one.
But when I see Zhao Pu analyze and analyze, from trivial things, he can analyze this completely irrelevant result, besides admiration, I still admire him.
Zhao Pu said with a smile on his face: "This matter is getting more and more interesting. Brother Zhang, help me send a note to this Han Wei, don't let him know who it is."
As he spoke, he wrote a few words crookedly with his backhand and handed it to Zhang Jin.
**********
Korean house!
Han Tong sat on the chair, a little exhausted.
Li Chongjin's prestige in the Zhou army was too great. As a "whistleblower", he was not only hostile from the guards and pro-military department, but also from his colleagues who were unwilling to get close to him and looked at him with prejudice and hostility.
Han Tong didn't care about the others, but the Guards and Military Division must not be destroyed by his own hands.
Thinking of Guo Rong's kindness and the task Guo Rong gave him, Han Tong clenched his fists and had to bear it no matter what.
"Father……"
Han Wei came forward and bowed in salute.
Han Tong stepped forward with concern, helped him up and sat down beside him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my son. Seeing you so busy and tired, I feel very sorry for you as a father."
Han smiled and said: "My child..."
Chapter 66: Calculation by All Parties (Page 4/5), click the next page to continue reading.
The body has recovered a long time ago and is no longer like ordinary people. Father, please do not treat your child as the infant he once was."
As he spoke, he said in a deep voice: "As for who leaked the news, I have found out almost exactly. But there is no evidence..."
Han Tong sighed and said, "Tell me about it!"
Han Wei said: "Cai Shenting was timid, and Ambassador Li suppressed the matter. My father accidentally learned that there was a dispute, and then asked Zhang Lingduo, the Marquis of Yu, who was in charge of military law, to handle it internally. Zhang Lingduo didn't want to offend you, so he put the matter aside. Guards
There are many people in the Pro-Army Department who know about this, but the three of you are the core. Apart from Ambassador Li and his father, the first person I checked was Zhang Lingduo, the Marquis of Duyu."
"Haier found out that Zhang Lingduo was invited out for a drink in Chanzhou, and it was God bless his father. When Zhang Lingduo went out, he met Zhang Dutou. The two exchanged a few words and said that Zhao Kuangyin invited him to drink. The soldiers on patrol heard it.
middle……"
"The boy went to check out the Chanzhou wine shop, and his father said it was a coincidence. The largest wine shop in the city was bought by someone the next day. The boy also asked about other wine shops, but he had never seen Zhang Lingduo and Zhao Kuangyin... If they hadn't met by chance and exchanged greetings,
The other party left no trace at all."
"After checking here, everything will be clear. Without evidence, there is nothing we can do against them. But the child thinks that no evidence is the best evidence. If they are not guilty, why should they cover up everything?"
"Zhang Lingduo is now trying to win over people in the Guards and Military Department, and I find it strange."
"Zhang Lingduo is really ambitious. He wants to replace his father. Why didn't he fight against his father with Li Shixiang in the first place? He is really ambitious. Why did he wait until Zhao Kuangyin came to the palace to check before he started fighting with his father?"
"My child thinks that Zhang Lingduo's current fight was instigated by others. His failure to fight at the beginning just showed his innocence!"
"Father, you have become a stepping stone for Zhao Kuangyin to seize power!"
