"Brother Six, Thirteen admits his mistake to you. I did something stupid and hit someone again!"
Zhao's frankness surprised the officials.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Si briefly told what happened in Baifanlou, then lowered his head and turned his eyes red, as if he had suffered endless grievances.
"Thirteen thought about Brother Six's teachings and tried to hold back his anger. But those scoldings meant that I had no one to teach me about life, and I was going to lose my life. I couldn't help it, so I went up and slapped him with a big mouth."
Is there anyone who has no one to teach me about life? Why don’t we just scold Zhao Si’s parents for dying early?
The sensitive official's expression changed. His father's untimely death was the greatest pain in his heart.
There is also a family that has been abandoned. Is this an insinuation that he has been on the throne for a long time but has no heirs?
Thinking of this, the official's body, wrapped in a vermilion robe, couldn't help but tremble.
The Han family and his son! What good thieves!
"Brother Six, I'm such a bastard! I accidentally befriended a bad person and brought humiliation upon myself. Brother Six, I really hate you so much!" Zhao Si continued to confess, squeezing out a few tears.
"Is Han Pingxian the son of Han Xueru?" the official asked through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Sixth Brother. At the beginning, Han Dianshuai introduced Han Pingxian to Thirteen. The guy looked gentle and polite, and he was well-controlled. I also thought that Han Dianshuai was Sixth Brother's confidant and someone Zhang Xianggong trusted, so he played with Han Pingxian.
We got together. I didn’t expect this guy to be such a bastard!”
Zhao Si replied cautiously.
Zhao Si knew the details of Han Xueru.
He was originally just a mid-level officer of the Forbidden Army. He first recognized Han Zhen, the minister of Zhongshu, as his uncle, established a relationship with the Zhending Han family, and was promoted to Yuhou, the capital of the infantry and bodyguards.
When Han Zhen was demoted, he seized the opportunity to curry favor with Zhang Dun. As a senior general of the Forbidden Army, he was willing to enter and leave the honor guard for Zhang Dun.
So under Zhang Dun's strong recommendation, he was appointed as the military commander of the Imperial Palace and served as the commander-in-chief in front of the palace, climbing to the highest rank of military general in the Song Dynasty.
When the officials heard about "confidant general" and "person Zhang Xianggong trusted", their expressions were a little complicated.
Zhao Si saw it in his eyes and secretly knew it in his heart.
Sixth Brother is a smart man, and his seemingly unintentional words undoubtedly set off a firecracker in his heart.
It is not a good thing for the king that the prime minister who controls the government has a close relationship with the commander-in-chief of the palace.
Especially now that Sixth Brother has begun to have some opinions about Zhang Dun's power, being quoted so lightly can raise many deep questions.
As for what the imperial brother will think, I can't control it for the time being. I just want Han Xueru to fall and trigger a major reshuffle of the imperial army in front of the palace, so that I can have a chance to get in.
Zhao Si continued: "The person who is collaborating with Han Pingxian is Yuhou Gaoqiu. I heard that he is from Eleventh Brother's house. Eleventh Brother has always been elegant and elegant, how could he use such a despicable person? I'm afraid he was deceived by a villain.
I have to remind Brother Eleven."
When the officials heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Duan Wang Zhao Ji usually liked to make friends with famous people and ministers, and often went to Qingshou Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
He encouraged Zhao Si to form the Long Jie Army, and officials also heard about it.
Now that I heard that Gao Qiu had a close relationship with Han Pingxian, the officials couldn't help but connect many things together.
Secretly befriending the palace commander, colluding internally and externally to frame the Thirteenth Brother...
A certain answer has already emerged in the official's mind.
He has no heirs for a long time.
Sickly.
Life expectancy is not long.
In the past two years, there has been an undercurrent in the DPRK, and ministers have quietly made suggestions to the Queen Mother to establish a crown prince.
Several brothers fought overtly and covertly for the position of crown prince, and they all unanimously targeted the thirteenth brother...
All this is as clear as a mirror in the minds of the officials.
The official was calm, so he sealed these thoughts in his heart and said calmly: "Brother Thirteen, it's not too late to realize your mistake now. From now on, associate less with these treacherous villains and make more friends with upright gentlemen."
Zhao Si knew it well and knew that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he followed the emperor's brother's topic.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I have seen clearly the true colors of these bastards, and I will never be with them again. These days, I am also reading some memorials and papers. The writings are to express one's ambitions, and I want to select a few with outstanding literary talents.
Also, if a famous person with upright conduct is my teacher, if he dislikes me, I will kneel in front of his house."
I still need to hire a few civil servants in my palace, not only as a cover, but mainly because I hope to select a few like-minded counselors.
This king is someone who wants to do great things. It is not enough to have strong generals alone, but also to have counselors.
The official laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Brother Thirteen, if you have this intention, I can rest assured. Just go and choose. He is really a gentleman with both talent and character. He refuses to accept him. I will go out to help you to plead for mercy. No need."
You go and use the bitter meat trick."
"Haha, I have to thank Sixth Brother first." Zhao Si smiled and then seemed to remember something, "Sixth Brother, I impulsively beat Han Xueru's son, fearing that he would have a grudge. The front secretary is a
It's an important position. If Han Xueru is dissatisfied, it won't be good. Sixth Brother, why don't we move him to a better position and raise him up."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si couldn't help but complain, "For such an important position as the Palace Chief, not only a tiger and wolf general, but also a loyal dog could be sent. Sixth brother just sent a pig. No, Han Xueru is afraid
Even worse than a pig."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Si realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly pulled his head back and stuck out his tongue. "Brother Six, Thirteen is talking nonsense, don't mind."
"Brother Thirteen, you are right!" The official laughed happily, "Don't worry about Han Xueru's affairs. But you are right, the front secretary is an important position. Han Xueru and his party members are gone
, who should I ask to take over?"
When Zhao Si heard this, he was secretly happy. He ran around hard, just waiting for the emperor's words!
He pretended to think about it for a moment and then gave his suggestion.
"Sixth brother, I read the newspaper in the palace. There were many victorious battles on the Shaanxi Road, and the court praised many good generals. I was wondering if I could take advantage of the peace talks between the court and the Hexi family and send a few good generals to Beijing while there is nothing going on in the west.
Come."
The official's eyes lit up and he asked further, "Thirteen, what do you think?"
"Sixth brother, that's what I think. These good generals are the pillars of the northwest. It's not enough to be promoted to official positions and titles. We should select a few of the most useful ones and transfer them to the capital. Sixth brother will give them more preferential treatment and win over them. At the same time, we will secretly observe who is brave enough."
There is also a plan, which one is just brave. When the troops are used again in the northwest, Sixth Brother will know what he is doing."
"Sixth Brother, I used to be Meng Lang, who often hung out outside and came into contact with the imperial army in the capital. To be honest, there is no general shape for generals and no soldiers for soldiers. Strengthening the trunk and weak branches is the ancestral method. The emperor's new method includes generals.
In the art of war, great efforts have been made to reduce redundancy and eliminate the weak, and to reorganize the Imperial Guards, which has been quite effective. However, in the past ten years or so, these guys have become ineffective again."
The official listened silently, especially when he heard the word "strategy", his eyes lit up.
Brother Thirteen has really repented, and he has really put his efforts on the right path. Otherwise, how would he know that there is a general and military method in his father's new law? How could he say such sound and logical words?
A look of excitement appeared on Zhao Si's face, "The generals in the northwest were all killed with real swords and guns. Ask them to bring some soldiers to the capital to organize the imperial guards. I, I also have the opportunity to follow.
Have fun later."
After taking a look at the emperor's brother's expression, Zhao Si speculated on his thoughts in his mind.
I have known that since I was a child, my brother Shang Yong was a good martial artist, so now that he wants to take the initiative to ask for a job, it is also a good thing to join him in rectifying the imperial army.
It is better to do something serious than to follow those playboys and cause trouble everywhere. I think the emperor is very happy to see it.
And the most important point is that the generals of the Western Army do not have a deep relationship with the ministers in the court, and they are not involved in the troubles between the conservative and reform parties. The emperor brother can use them with confidence.
For me, the generals of the Western Army, in addition to the above advantages, have another important key point.
Over the years, they have worked hard and performed meritoriously in the northwest frontier, but they have always been discriminated against by the civil servants. If they win with merit, the civil servants will take the lion's share first; if they defeat with fault, all the backhand will be given to the generals.
I believe that after these generals come to Beijing, I will have a good common language with them.
After a while, a look of joy appeared on Brother Huang's face, and his eyes became softer as he looked over. He must have guessed correctly. Brother Huang had figured out the benefits of transferring the generals of the Western Army to Beijing.
Oh yeah! I won another victory.
As the younger brother of an official, although it is the biggest source of crisis, it is also his biggest advantage!
It is so late, and it is close to the time when the palace gate is locked. If other people come to ask for permission, unless it is a particularly urgent matter, they will most likely be rejected.
I just informed him and the officials called me in.
How much advantage can you gain by being the first to make a small report?
Too late to collect evidence? Lose it! What evidence is needed to make a snitch? Just target the pain points of the officials and prescribe the right medicine.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Si took the initiative to say goodbye.
When he walked to the entrance of Chongyi Pavilion, Zhao Si saw Xu Chengzhi, the deputy commander of the front department and an official of the Imperial City Department, walking towards him.
With a thought in his heart, he smiled and greeted Sixth Brother's confidant, "Old Xu, it's hard enough to enter the palace so late."
Xu frankly made a rude promise and replied with a smile: "I've seen the king. It's not hard to do things for the officials."
"You're busy, I'll go back first."
"Your Majesty, walk slowly."
Back at the house, Zhao Si called Li Fang and Yu Huatian.
"Li Gong, I remember that you have a relative who works in the front office of the palace. He is Han Xueru's subordinate?"
"Yes, Your Highness. He is from Yanyan Road and has been a general for a long time. In the past two years, he was elected as the Banzhi in front of the palace because of his bravery. He can talk to Commander Han."
"Introduce this man to Huatian. Huatian, get to know him first, and when the edict to deal with Han Xueru is issued, ask him to send a message to the Han family. If you want to save your life, there is a way, but you need money to spread it.
Shop." Zhao Si snorted, "This bastard has drank a lot of soldiers' blood, so we can't give him any advantage. I still owe three thousand coins in Baifan Tower."
