The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1504 Old Zhao has made up his mind
"Okay, Gao Aiqing, I put you in the position of minister of the Ministry of War for so long, so that one day I will use you again. Now is just an opportunity, so I will rely on you more."

Zhao Kuangyin, his in-laws and brother, knew how capable he was, so he would consider letting him go, at least not to mention being loyal.

"Your Majesty, you're being polite. It's my honor to be able to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty." Gao Huaide's superficial work is not bad.

"I said, old man, didn't I go to the Tianxiong Army? Now that you have sent my father-in-law, what's the point of me going?"

After all the ministers left, Zhao Xu asked in bewilderment, where he was originally going, but now where Gao Huaide is going, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.

"Well, the plan can't keep up with the changes. I believe that Goryeo has been occupied by Fusang. Zhu Qianchou did it. Let Gao Huaide go. I also have my considerations. After all, he is an old man with good abilities and a good relationship with us. It is also appropriate for him to take full responsibility."

Gao Huaide was born in the army, so Zhao Xu naturally believed in his ability. Since Zhao Kuangyin had made such a decision, there was nothing to say.

"But I'm in charge of the Ministry of War. You can let Zhao Lin and Ryan be in charge. I don't know anything about the Ministry of War." Zhao Kuangyin asked him to be in charge of the Ministry of War. And the title of Marshal!
"I plan to have a son, Zhao Lin's foundation is not stable, he can't be in charge of the Ministry of War, and both of you brothers go, just to let people see that the two brothers are in harmony, and to do something for our descendants of the Zhao family. A role model, besides, your grandma is also seriously ill and will go away at some point, so you can't leave even more, so stay in Bianjing for a while."

This was Zhao Kuangyin's ultimate goal. Zhao Xu was relieved when he thought of this, so he couldn't shirk it.

"I don't think I will go to the Ministry of War. Find a stable person to serve as the chief officer of the Ministry of War. Zhao Lin can let him be his deputy, which can be regarded as training him. What do you think?"

Since it was his brother Zhao Xu, although he was unwilling to let him enter the Ministry of War, he couldn't say no to him.

Zhao Xu was also worried. Although Zhao Lin had no intention of being the throne, some special external circumstances forced him to do things he didn't like to do.

Maybe you can't see anything now, but after staying in the court for a long time, don't those people with ulterior motives still take advantage of him?
At that time, it will be too late for anything. The Zhao Xu brothers will definitely have conflicts, and it will be difficult not to hurt them.

"That's fine. You've been running outside for the past few years. You'll be responsible for assisting me in handling various matters. By the way, I'm also going to issue an order to let Fu Yanqing come to Bianjing. This is also his request. After Gao Huaide arrives , I should go back to Beijing, and I am going to make him a loyal King of Wei, which can be regarded as raising him to a higher level, since he is already the king of the county, it can be regarded as showing to other people."

"Alright, I'm rarely in Bianjing. It's time to deal with internal affairs. By the way, I've already got an idea of ​​the counterfeit banknote case, but I don't know if you dare to break your promise?"

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Kuangyin meaningfully, you asked me to help you deal with internal affairs, okay, now I have one thing to look at your attitude, your attitude is really important.

"It depends on whether I dare to break my promise. Can you tell me what happened?"

It can all be related to whether Zhao Kuangyin dares to break his promise, which makes Zhao Kuangyin also curious, what exactly is this talking about!

"Then I'll just say it straight. When you were the emperor, you were well aware of how many iron coupons you gave to avoid death. You can avoid death, but now some people rely on the iron coupons to know the law and break the law more than once. You Say what to do?"

Zhao Kuangyin's heart skipped a beat, he guessed right, in order to reward his brothers, he issued a few iron coupons, promising them that they would be willing to avoid death unless they rebelled.

Therefore, there are many people who are domineering, and my own can only be admonishment, but I can't kill them. In that case, my own will really break my promise. How can an emperor break his promise!
But the laws and regulations of the country cannot be ignored, it really puts Zhao Kuangyin in a dilemma!

"What you mean by that is that some of them violated the rules again. No, is it because they are involved in the counterfeit banknote case this time?"

Zhao Kuangyin handed over all these matters to Zhao Xu. As for how Zhao Xu checked and what was found out, Zhao Kuangyin really didn't know.

"Oh, it seems so." Zhao Xu didn't say anything, but he could tell by looking at Zhao Xu's eyes that his guess was correct.

"They rely on their previous achievements and my grace, and they will be lawless. These people really owe my grace."

Zhao Kuangyin was really angry. These people were his life-and-death brothers. If he wanted to punish them, he really couldn't do anything about it.

In particular, my most powerful brother at the time was Shi Shouxin, who often violated the law. Recently, I heard that Shandong returned to Bianjing to recuperate, and he was much more honest, which made Zhao Kuangyin very pleased.

"Father, do you know how much we lost because of fake bank notes this time, 500 million guan, do you know what this is? Our annual tax revenue in the Song Dynasty is only so much. Let them be so unscrupulous and corrupt these people really hateful."

"What 500 million guan, they are so insane. If 500 million guan are given to the people, I believe that the life of the people will be much better. They dare to do this for their own selfishness. It is time to give them heavy punishment. This person is Who, this time I will definitely not tolerate it."

What Zhao Kuangyin dislikes most is these things, and with 500 million pennies, Zhao Kuangyin is absolutely sure that his own indulges them too much.

"It's not like this person did it this time. He's been in Bianjing for a while, staying behind closed doors. Others thought he was cultivating his morals. Who would have thought that he would actually do such a thing."

Zhao Xu didn't say who it was, but Zhao Kuangyin already understood who this person was, why is it him again, it's always him, does he really think that I dare not do anything to him?

He has always been the one who made it difficult for me. You have helped me, but you have also given you glory and wealth. Don't you think it's not enough?

You have repeatedly violated the laws of my Song Dynasty. Haven't your father and son done few illegal things?
I used to say it was a trivial matter, but this time you want to shake the foundation of my Song Dynasty, how can you let me spare you so easily!
"Do you have evidence? If there is evidence, I will not spare them lightly. Don't forget that I am the emperor, and I will do some things if I don't want to. Even if he is my righteous brother, he has to be dealt with. , and give others a warning."
