Zhao Zhen set off back to Beijing that afternoon. Su Jin appeared in the crowd seeing him off. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There were rumors that the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty were at odds. Now it seems that it is true, but it is a thing of the past.
.
Su Jin had to stay for a few days before leaving because he still had a lot of things to arrange. Su Jin would never believe Zhao Zhen's promise, but because of another big plan in his heart, Su Jin had to do it for this
The plan took a year and a half to prepare, so he also used a delaying strategy and agreed to Zhao Zhen first.
Li Chong and everyone in the Su family were very worried about Su Jin's decision. Throughout the ages, people had managed to escape without falling out with the emperor. Zhao Zhen was only able to swallow his anger because of the current situation, and he would definitely settle the score afterwards.
Su Jin only ordered two things. Yan Biyun will stay in Mingzhou from now on to supervise the progress of the twenty large ships set by Mingzhou Shipyard. These twenty large ships must be completed and launched this year; secondly, he ordered Li Chongjia
The major shipping companies imported all the saltpeter and made it into gunpowder bags according to the proportions and kept them properly.
As for why he did this, Su Jin didn't mention a word. He couldn't reveal his purpose prematurely. In the current situation, everything could only be done quietly. If you are not careful, the plan may fail.[
In March of the fifth year of the reign of Emperor You of the Song Dynasty, Su Jin officially succeeded Yan Shu, who had retired, and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, Zhao Zhen changed his reign to Zhihe, which naturally contained the meaning of Su Jin's coming to power to change the Yuan Dynasty and the harmony between the emperor and his ministers.
Su Jin came back to power, and the chaotic situation was immediately reversed. It was his own secret method. The person who tied the bell could untie the bell himself. Su Jin was promoted to prime minister. The people of the Song Dynasty celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and the people spontaneously set off firecrackers and hung lanterns to celebrate.
Su Jin also published a letter of apology through the Pearl Newspaper, apologizing for the delay in official duties and the chaos caused by his "ill-health" in the previous episode, and ordered the National Development and Reform Department's subordinate departments across the country to verify the losses.
Appropriate compensation will be provided to the people who suffered losses.
But for those who took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames after Su Jin recovered from his illness, Su Jin also mercilessly published a list of merchants, explicitly prohibiting these merchants and individuals from getting involved in the infrastructure of the Song Dynasty, and all rights under the preferential policies of the Development and Reform Department.
At this time, some people clapped their hands and praised me, while some people scolded me.
The explanation given by Su Jin at the court was that policies are the policies of a country. Once they are set, they must have continuity and cannot be changed overnight. Unless there are major mistakes that must be stopped immediately, they should never be changed due to changes in personnel.
; These businessmen are making noises and making noises because they are recovering from illness. This is a misunderstanding and contempt for the national policy and must be severely punished.
Zhao Zhen knew that Su Jin was telling him what he was doing. Su Jin's subtext was that even if I left in the future, with this lesson learned, no one would be in chaos because of my departure. In fact, Su Jin understood the source of the chaos.
In fact, it is a kind of panic that the imperial court's policies will change due to people. If Zhao Zhen does not understand this, he will never be able to stop this panic.
Zhao Zhencai didn't care what gesture Su Jin made. The game between him and Su Jin had been completely at a disadvantage. Although the attitude of the officials was still the same, he knew that his status in their minds had been greatly reduced. How could he regain his prestige?
There was only one way to get rid of Su Jin while ensuring the normal operation of the court; after the complete showdown on Shazhou that day, Zhao Zhen understood how scary Su Jin was. The scary thing about Su Jin did not lie in his ability or connections.
How much and how much his family wealth is, but because of his awakened people's wisdom, he has no halo in Su Jin's eyes. He is just an ordinary person. If this layer of household paper is pierced, what will he do?
Can he keep his throne and this eternal honor.
But everything needs to be done slowly and not be too explicit. The price of irritating Su Jin is also the same in the eyes, especially Su Jin's sentence "The generals in the northwest will rebel, I have five thousand muskets on hand", which became Zhao Zhen's inconvenience.
The reason for daring to act without permission. This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen hates Su Jin. The heroes after the destruction of Liao were almost all under the command of Su Jin of the Northwest Army. However, Su Jin had secretly made five thousand firecrackers on hand. This
It shows that he has already planned. This alone can kill him hundreds of times.
In May of the first year of Zhihe, Zhao Zhen appointed Wang Chao Ma Han as the Minister of War, and removed the two from their positions as deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard. It seemed that they were promoted one level, but they were deprived of their military power.
After hearing this incident, Zhao Zhen did not dare to face Su Jin for a few days. He was waiting for Su Jin's reaction. He did not believe that Su Jin could not understand his intentions; but Su Jin did not react and was still busy every day.
, seemed not to notice at all.
A month later, Zhao Zhen, who succeeded in testing, adjusted the positions of Northwest General Jingtai and swapped his positions with those of Fujian Road Transport Envoy. Su Jin still had no response.
Then Zhao Zhen boldly adjusted the positions of the former Northwest Army generals one by one, depriving them of their military power by promotion or s By the end of July, Zhao Zhen completed the change of military power, and
Su Jin was still busy dealing with what he considered to be the most important things, such as the pension medical system, the industrial relief system, water conservancy dams, roads connecting ten thousand counties, etc. Zhao Zhen promised one by one that he would never make any surprises.
, even when Su Jin asked him to issue an edict to announce to the world that these policies would remain unchanged for at least ten years, he did not hesitate to issue an edict to announce it.
On the surface, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was harmonious and peaceful, but many people began to worry. Even outsiders could see the abnormality of Zhao Zhen's various behaviors, and they also secretly reminded Su Jin to be more careful.
Su Jin angrily scolded them for being troublesome. These people meant well, but Su Jin scolded them back. They shook their heads and sighed secretly. Disaster was approaching, but Su Jin knew what to do.
When the news reached Zhao Zhen's ears, Zhao Zhen felt a sense of relief. He believed that it was not that Su Jin didn't know that these arrangements were aimed at him, but that Su Jin believed too much in his promises.
You can rest easy even if you have your own handwriting as proof of your agreement, but in reality, how can those things tie your hands and feet? Just like the Ancestral Temple's legacy, if you follow it, it is a legacy, if you don't, it's a bunch of nonsense.
In August, Su Jin began to promote a large number of new candidates from the imperial examination to the key departments of the Development and Reform Department and the Third Division, and began to give them detailed training on the operation of the Development and Reform Department and the purposes and means of all policies implemented.
This was Su Jin's promise to Zhao Zhen; two months later, at the end of October, Su Jin had also handed over several large mines in Su Ji, including Pearl City, to the imperial court as promised.
There are still four months left before the agreed deadline. Su Jin is making final preparations before leaving. Regarding the candidate for prime minister, Su Jin has already recommended someone to Zhao Zhen, that is Fu Bi. As for whether to use it or not, then
It's not something Su Jin can decide.
Zhao Zhen had made up his mind that he could not let Su Jin escape unharmed. He ordered Zhang Yaozuo to close the four cities tightly during the New Year in the second year of Zhihe, and sent the imperial army to various places to capture Su Jin and his family on New Year's Eve.
The gangster was captured in one fell swoop. Zhao Zhen warned Zhang Yaozuo sternly that this matter must be done beautifully without any leakage. If he succeeds, he will be given the coveted post of Privy Councilor. If he fails, he will be punished.
clan to calm the situation.
Zhang Yaozuo knew that this was an action related to fate. For this reason, he carefully selected tens of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers and sent them to various parts of the Song Dynasty to inspect the defense of various states in the Song Dynasty for the people. He was prepared to make a sudden attack at that time, allowing Su Jin and his followers to counterattack.
Chance.
On November 13th, heavy snow fell in the capital. Su Jin held a banquet for all officials in his mansion because his concubine Rou Niang gave birth to Su Jin's third son, named Su Li. Zhao Zhen also came to congratulate him in person.
He raised a glass and drank with Su Jin, congratulating the Su family on the new member, and conferring the official position of Tiger Wing Lieutenant on the newborn child; during the dinner, Su Jin chatted and laughed and cursed in a businesslike manner, and changed into his usual cautious and interesting image.
Zihuang made jokes all over the place, and even made fun of Zhao Zhen's face, jokingly saying that the emperor's face was getting longer and longer, bigger at the top and smaller at the bottom. It sounded like that, and the officials were frightened and secretly despised him for not changing.
The vulgar nature of merchants.
Zhao Zhen didn't care about Su Jin's verbal insults. He only looked at Su Jin quietly and sighed in his heart: He had to destroy such an outstanding person with his own hands. It was really unbearable. Now that the trap has been set, Su Jin
Now that he has become a sparrow, he can just go crazy and act foolishly, and he won't survive New Year's Eve anyway.[
Su Jin screamed in his heart that he was so satisfied. From the day he woke up from the hospital bed in the Su family's house in Luzhou fifteen years ago, he never thought that fifteen years later, he would reach such a height that even Song Renzong would have to
Put up with your own teasing, but still force a smile.
Fifteen years ago, he was the son of a small businessman and was bullied by the little buggers of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce. Now he is destroying other countries just by talking and laughing, and he can decide the life or death of tens of millions of people with just one word. These two people
How can two words be used to describe them? They are simply as different as heaven and earth.
Fifteen years ago, I came here alone, fearful and cautious; now I have a group of wives and concubines, my family property is in the enemy's country, and there are nearly 10,000 people working in the Su Ji industry. Everyone is careful and independent, and Su Ji is already the leader of the Song Dynasty.
The first commercial empire involves mines, roads, overseas trade, urban real estate, financial exchange and other huge industries. Every financial path is a way to make millions of dollars every day. It is as gorgeous as a yellow beam dream.
Su Jin was so satisfied that he became drunk and unconscious.
