Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 64 Qin Hui digs another hole

"Ms. sir! This is the court..."

Zhao Gou saw that his left and right prime ministers were scolding like shrews and had no rules and etiquette. He coughed heavily and said, "If you two continue to cause mischief, you will be expelled from the court."

The two of them suppressed their anger and stood up again.

It was only then that Qin Hui learned from the reminders of other courtiers that it was Zhao Luo who smashed the wat board just now, and that was another master he could not afford to offend.

After Zhao Gou suppressed these two people, he became curious about Shen Wanshu's so-called sorcery, "Have you ever seen her use sorcery to break down the city gate?"

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, the corners of her beautiful lips curled up slightly, "The official family has never had any sorcery? It's just an enlarged version of this thing."

After saying that, Zhao Yingluo took out a small firecracker from her sleeve.

"Do you recognize what this is?"

When the courtiers took a look, weren't they the recently popular firecrackers?It is said that it came from Kaifeng. In addition to firecrackers, there are also the kind that go up to the sky. They are very beautiful when they explode in the air. On New Year's Eve this year, the officials also ordered Lin'an Prefecture to set off fireworks by the West Lake to celebrate New Year's Day.

Zhao Gou asked with some confusion, "This kind of object can blow up the city gate?"

Zhao Yingluo casually took out another iron box from her sleeve, then took out a firecracker, lit the firecracker, and threw it into the iron box.

"Bang!" After a loud explosion, a hole was blown into the tin box.

After finishing the experiment, Zhao Yingluo spread her hands and asked, "Is this considered sorcery?"

The courtiers looked at each other. If this is the case, it is indeed not a witchcraft!
Qin Hui was speechless...

He never expected that the words he had carefully prepared earlier to slander Shen Wanshu would be ineffective. He never expected that Zhao Luo would prepare these things after he went to court.

Zhao Yingluo actually didn't expect that Qin Hui would raise an issue in the court. She actually thought that Zhao Gou might ask about the siege of the city, so she used this gadget as an explanation.

After watching Zhao Yingluo's demonstration, Lu Yihao was overjoyed, "Hahaha... with this thing, I, the Song Dynasty, will not be afraid of the Jin people! Although I am old, I am still willing to go out for the Song Dynasty and regain the land of Hebei and Hexi." !”

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, her eyes darkened, "That... that... Mr. Lu..."

Lu Yihao looked back and said a little arrogantly, "What? Do you think I am too old? When Jiang Shang became prime minister in his eighties, Foolish Old Man moved mountains at the age of a hundred. Baishi became famous in ancient times, and Fan Li settled down in the country. I am still old. If you can't compare with them, why not?"

Zhao Yingluo replied with a bit of laughter, "Mr. Lu, it's not that I dislike your age, but it's very difficult to make this thing! It took several months to make such a thing. If you want to make it in large quantities, it will be time-consuming and laborious."

Lu Yihao's expression was stunned, and his old face was a little embarrassed...

After this episode, Qin Hui, who was unwilling to give up, began to talk about Zhao Yingluo's private soldiers again, "Your Majesty! Even if these are not sorcery, if Zhao Yingluo is allowed to expand his private soldiers, it may be difficult to control him in the future. I think it should be Put limits on it.”

Qin Hui's words played into Zhao Gou's heart.

On the one hand, he believed that if Shen Wanshu's private army was really powerful, it could be used to defend the surrounding areas of Kaifeng. On the one hand, it would make his father feel relieved, and on the other hand, he would be able to sit back and relax in Lin'an.

But on the other hand, she is too powerful and may threaten her throne!If all the rebels in Hebei were recruited by her, would they pay it back?

Let's see how Qin Hui responds. "What's your countermeasure?"

Qin Hui rolled his eyes and figured out the plan, "That Shen Wanshu has made great contributions, your Majesty should reward her and make her the Hebei Economic and Strategic Envoy! To calm his mind, he made General Wang Yuan the Hebei Recruiting Envoy and commanded him to rule over Shen Wanshu's original territory. Private soldiers and control the army around Kaifeng City, and at the same time recruit the remaining Hebei rebels and grassroots bandits who are willing to be loyal to the imperial court to prevent the Jin people from attacking the border. As for Zongze and Lu Haowen, they can be reinstated."

As soon as Lu Yihao heard that Qin Hui wanted to appoint Wang Yuan as the envoy to recruit and control the people, he immediately understood his intention and appointed Shen Wanshu as the envoy. Logically speaking, this was a real official, but he also ordered Wang Yuan to control all the people. In fact, she is not given military power!After Zongze and Lu Haowen were reinstated, military power was basically emptied.

In this way, her wealth became the logistical support to support the army, but it could not pose a threat to the court.

He knew that this was a hole dug by Qin Hui for Shen Wanshu, but he did not raise any objection.

Lu Yihao is the main militant, but that does not mean that he is a radical. He is the main fighter and protects the world of Zhao and Song Dynasty!What's more, Shen Wanshu is a woman. The appointment of her as the Hebei Economic and Strategic Envoy has gone far beyond the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules. If she is allowed to take over the military power again, who can guarantee that there will not be a second Wu Zhao?

This world must belong to Zhao Song!

"Officials, I think Master Qin's suggestion is good!"

When Qin Hui heard that his old enemy actually agreed with his proposal, it was as strange as when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. What happened to Old Man Lu today?
"But there are two points raised by veteran officials. The first point is that the Hebei envoys are facing the Jin people directly, which is related to the safety of our Song Dynasty. Although General Wang has done meritorious service in escorting the Jin people, he lacks experience in fighting the Jin people, so Not suitable for this position."

Zhao Gou asked, "Does Prime Minister Lu have any recommendations?"

"I think General Han is the best candidate! General Han has been on the battlefield for a long time and has had many encounters with the Jin people, so he is the most suitable person to serve as the recruiting envoy to Hebei."

"allow!"

"Second point, Mr. Qin said that he would strip Shen Wanshu's private soldiers. I would like to ask this young man, if he really does this, will those private soldiers be easy to control?"

Zhao Yingluo sneered, "No one in the world can take care of these private soldiers except her!"

"That's it. I believe that these 10,000+ private soldiers can still be counted as hers, but they are not allowed to expand in size. It is impossible to shake the Song Dynasty with just these 10,000+ private soldiers."

"Alright!"

After all, Lu Yihao was a veteran of the DPRK. In order to appease the main war faction headed by him, Zhao Gou had to make some compromises on this matter.

But Qin Hui still wanted to struggle, "The official family, like this time, if Shen Wanshu acted privately and provoked a war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin people, what would be done?"

"What does Qin Qing say?"

"I think we can let the deputy capital know that Lan Gui is his private supervisor! In this way, even if Shen Wanshu makes any changes, Lan Gui will definitely stop her in time!"

"This is feasible! It's accurate!"

When Qin Hui saw that the official finally approved his suggestion, he felt relieved, hum!So what if you, Shen Wanshu, win?I can still disgust you!
"Since the officials have given Master Qin a suggestion, how about giving me another suggestion?"

Zhao Gou raised his eyes and asked with some confusion, "What do you suggest?"
