Fisherman's Song Dynasty

August [-]th, cloudy.

It's another morning in the court, and now it's Kaiping Wang Gaoyong who came out to play. This old prince usually cherishes his words like gold, and rarely says anything in the court. Everyone feels strange and curious when he opens his mouth today. Listen carefully to what he has to say.

Zhao Huan also felt strange, and when he heard what he said, he felt even more strange.

Water bandits in the Yangtze River?And still entrenched in Yangzhou?But why didn't any officials report this matter along the way in Jiangnan, but this idle prince knew about it?

Zhao Huan's complexion suddenly darkened, and he glanced down: "Who can tell me why no one reported this to me? On the contrary, it was Prince Gao who got the news?"

All the officials he saw bowed their heads. Although Zhao Huan was a cowardly emperor, he was still an emperor. Sitting on the dragon chair added to this atmosphere, not to mention that he had worked hard step by step from the position of prince to the present. Yes, there is still some emperor's momentum.

The huge court hall was so silent that one could hear a needle drop on the ground.

Zhao Huan became more and more annoyed: "Is it perfunctory to pretend to be deaf and dumb? Wang Shiyong, you immediately withdraw the Yangzhou magistrate back to Beijing. I want to ask him face to face, how this magistrate is appointed!"

Wang Shiyong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was named and had to stand up. He was about to answer in embarrassment, but he heard a voice from the side saying strangely: "Officials, Lord Gao is in Bianjing, but he is in front of people who are thousands of miles away. Yangzhou is well known, and it really deserves to be the mainstay of our Great Song Dynasty."

The one who spoke was Liang Shicheng, the grand master of the court. Unlike others, he didn't come out to speak, but just stood there, and didn't even have a formula. This was absolutely disrespectful. Zhao Huan was unhappy at first. Now Even more so, his eyes drifted away.

Master Yong's old eyes narrowed slightly, Liang Shicheng was old and cunning, his words were exaggerating and belittling, and it could even be called very cruel. What does it mean to be in Bianjing but know thousands of miles away, clearly alluding to himself planting secret whistle Bad intentions.

But Liang Shicheng is an old fox, and Master Yong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He replied unhurriedly: "I know everything well and dare not take it as a coincidence. A few days ago, my kid went to Jiangning Mansion to play. When he passed by Yangzhou, he met him personally. He almost lost his life because of this, if Master Liang doesn't believe it, he can send my kid to ask."

Just as Liang Shicheng opened his mouth to speak, Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "No need, Kaiping Wang is honest and upright, I don't believe he will deceive the emperor."

"Official sage!" Yong Ye sang loudly. Before Liang Shicheng could speak again, he went on to ask for the establishment of a water military camp in Yangzhou, and made a thorough statement of the pros and cons. At the junction of the East Road, it is very suitable to set up a water army here. In the future, no matter where there are water bandits, they can arrive at the fastest speed, which is more convenient and quicker than any other place.

Zhao Huan immediately agreed, but what he was thinking about was not water bandits, but in case the northern line of the Song Dynasty could not be defended in the future, and after being driven to the south by the Jin people, he could still rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Pre-buried a line of defense for his future south escape.

Liang Shicheng and Master Yong have never dealt with each other, so how could he be willing to let him go so smoothly, but just as he was about to speak, he saw that Master Yong had retreated into the queue, lowered his head and lowered his brows, and stopped talking. The big event will eventually recommend his people to run the navy, but it seems that it is not the case now.

Could it be that he was really doing it for the water bandits?But why haven't I received this message?

While being suspicious, Zhao Huan said again: "The Privy Council will handle the matter of the navy army quickly, and the prefect of Yangzhou will withdraw immediately, and the official department will choose another wise person to take up the post."

Wang Shiyong just responded, but saw another person coming out: "Show the officials, the water bandits are causing harm to the countryside, we should eliminate the civilians as soon as possible, this matter is no small matter, I would like to recommend one person to be the magistrate."

Liang Shicheng shut his mouth immediately, because the person who spoke this time was none other than Dazai Zhang Bangchang who had just returned to Beijing from Jinjun Zhending camp.

Zhang Bangchang has been away from the court for a few months since he was officially appointed as an envoy, but he is the prime minister of the court after all, and his status is respected. Even Liang Shicheng has to respect him, not to mention that Zhang Bangchang came back to Beijing this time with a mission— ——The Jin army is approaching Bianjing, and he needs to come back to discuss the price of the peace talks with Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan became curious. This is also an old fox. His favorite thing to do is to follow the crowd. He rarely recommends anyone, but this time he opened his mouth for the first time.

"Oh? Who does Zhang Aiqing recommend?"

Zhang Bangchang glanced at the position not far behind, and said respectfully: "My minister recommends the royal brother of the official family, His Royal Highness Xinwang."

"This..." Zhao Huan was a little dazed, Zhang Bangchang and Zhao Zhen had no relationship, how could he think of recommending him?

Liang Shicheng was secretly happy, Zhao Zhen had always been friends with Zhao Gou and often opposed his henchmen, now he has the opportunity to send him to the south of the Yangtze River, far away from him, that would be the best thing.

So he also hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness Xinwang is intelligent and wise, and I know the matter of Yangzhou Prefecture, and I will second it."

Zhao Huan frowned slightly, now that Liang Shicheng wants to do whatever he wants, he just doesn't want to do it, but just when he was about to veto it, another person came out and said: "Qi Zou Guan, although His Royal Highness Xinwang is young I am young, but my talent has spread far and wide, so I am sure I will be competent, and my ministers will also support me."

Now Zhao Huan stopped talking, because this time it was his confidant, Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Hui, who came out on the list this time. Since even he said yes, then he simply sold Zhang Bangchang's face, and he automatically ignored Liang Shicheng's second proposal.

"Okay, I agree."

"Thank you, official!"

Zhang Bangchang, Liang Shicheng, and Qin Hui thanked each other in unison, but Qin Hui did not retreat, but raised his brows and said in a low voice: "Qi Zou Guan, I have another memo."

Zhao Huan was overjoyed. After waiting all morning, the main show finally started. His face remained unchanged, and he asked gently, "Qin Aiqing, what is the playbook?"

"The humble minister wants to join a treacherous minister who deceives the emperor." Qin Hui held the memorial book in both hands, and after a pause, he said slowly, "Teacher Liang Shicheng."

There was a deathly silence in the hall, followed by an uproar.

Everyone was shocked, they couldn't believe their ears, did Qin Hui lose his mind and go crazy?Dare to participate in Liang Taifu?Doesn't he know that all the power in the Manchu Dynasty is in the hands of the Liang party?Could it be that he thought that a mere speech officer could really overthrow Yin and Yin?

Everyone knew these words, and of course no one would say them out. At this moment, pairs of eyes focused on Qin Hui with various complex expressions, including sympathy, pity, ridicule, and sarcasm.

Liang Shicheng didn't expect that Qin Hui would suddenly attack him, but he was very deep in the city, so he just smiled coldly: "Oh? I don't know what the crime is for Mr. Qin to join this official?"

Qin Hui didn't even look at him, just opened the notebook in his hand, and said sonorously and forcefully: "The minister participated in Liang Shicheng, collaborating with the enemy and treason, forming a party for personal gain, selling officials and nobles, and supporting government soldiers, a total of 23 felonies!"
