Chapter 184 Negotiated candidates

Zhao Kuangyin was even more relieved when he heard Wei's words. After all, the Zhao family did not even have a decent treasure land, and it could be placed under the bed. As for Zhao Pu, he kept praising Wei's words in his heart. These words were said more skillful than him, and the credibility she said was much higher than that of himself. Looking at Zhao Kuangyin again, his face became much brighter. This matter was over and there was no danger.

"Old Zhao, let's go to the study to chat. You can find a way to pull these into the palace first." Zhao Kuangyin's private warehouse used to be only out but not in. Now that he saw it, he naturally ate it in one bite. How could he send it to the Honglu Temple? It was not the account that entered the Ministry of Revenue.

When Zhao Kuangyin sat down, Wei personally brought wine and food, told them to drink less, and then went out.

"Official family, this is a letter sent by the State of Nanyue. You can see it." Zhao Pu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin. If you accept the gift, what should I do? You have to give me an explanation. It is not reasonable to just accept gifts but not to do anything. Besides, this gift was given to my mansion and spread it. Who would give me gifts in the future?

"Tell me, I'm too lazy to read the letter." Zhao Kuangyin was so tired every day when he read the memorials. He really didn't want to continue reading, and his eyes were sore and swollen.

"Official family, do you know that Liu Congyi, the governor of the Qingyuan Army in the south? Two years ago, you personally conferred the title of King of Jinjiang and died of illness three months ago." This matter was too long to say, and Zhao Pu sighed and tried to make a short story.

"I know, I belong to the Southern Tang Dynasty in name, but in fact I established myself on the mountain. I granted him the throne to disgust Li Yu and encouraged him to continue to oppose the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's a pity to die. What's going on now?" Zhao Kuangyin naturally remembered that Li Yu went to the imperial title, claimed to be the lord of Jiangnan, and he was named the king of the people under him. This was indeed disgusting.

"This man has no son, and he has two elder brothers. The eldest one adopted him in the early years and sent him to Jiangning as a magistrate. Isn't this the successor, so he adopted his elder brother's younger son and prepared to inherit the throne." Zhao Pu shook his head. It's not a good thing for the youngest son to succeed to the throne.

"Absurd, how can a child with yellow mouth sit firmly on the throne?" The so-called butt determines the head. Zhao Kuangyin forced the young Chai Zongxun to abdicate and ascend to the great treasure. Naturally, he was quite unhappy with the succession of the young children. You should pass it directly to the virtuous people under your command. What are the benefits of forcing others to rebel?

"Who said no? The two generals below rose up and rebelled. The battle was fierce. The governor of Jianzhou who had been eyeing him was directly led his troops into Quanzhou, killing one of them and the other was huddled up. That was so refreshing." Zhao Pu could actually understand the behavior of staying in charge of the throne. Who would not want to be grateful for his descendants, but this world, haha!

"The Governor of Jianzhou? Not the Governor of the Jiedushi? Can you beat it?" Zhao Kuangyin knew that there was no place in Jianzhou. How could he beat it? How could he beat the Qingyuan Army? Although there was a civil strife, it was not easy to mess with. If it could be handled so easily, the Southern Tang court would not tolerate him staying away all the time.

"I heard that the governor of Jianzhou was named Sun Yu, who was the one with excellent poetry. He should be twenty years old after the New Year." Zhao Pu was really envious. When he was twenty years old, he had not yet become an official.

"So young? Is that good at fighting?" Zhao Kuangyin thought that when he was twenty years old, he was still wandering around. He only joined Guo Wei's command a year later. Sun Yu was actually an important official in charge of the two states. It is estimated that Zhangzhou will be a matter of time sooner or later. The starting point is much higher than that of him. But there are nothing to envy. In history, there are many people who have reached this point. There are very few people who have reached this point.

"It is indeed possible to fight. Before Jianzhou, bandits were in chaos. It is said that Sun Yu decided to Jianzhou in March. Today, Jianzhou is living and working in peace and prosperity." These things were said by people from Nanyue, otherwise Zhao Pu would not know. After all, they were too far away. How could he care about the governor of the Southern Tang Dynasty far away in the sky.

"Send someone to contact us and see if we can join our Song Dynasty." After Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, he found a problem. There were not many generals under his command, and he didn't dare to use those who could fight, so he was idle. Sun Yu was good. If he came to Song Dynasty, he would be very good. He could fight, and there was no help from outsiders. He would be the perfect general candidate. He would be the one who gave me some advice from the side, and he would definitely be able to surrender to all sides.

"Officials, this is unlikely. They will soon have three states and tens of thousands of armored soldiers. How could they come to the Song Dynasty alone? "Anyway, Zhao Pu thinks, he would definitely refuse. Your name of releasing military power has spread all over the world. Sooner or later, the generals under him will be decorated.

"How is it impossible? Good birds choose trees to live on. The Southern Tang Dynasty has been in turmoil. How can we compare to my Song Dynasty?" Zhao Kuangyin is now full of confidence, and he feels like a son chosen by God. Compared with Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is not weak at all. In his opinion, if Sun Yu could see him, he would definitely be intimidated by his domineering aura, and then bow to him.

"What should we do if the Nanyue Kingdom do? They were occupied by Sun Yu. These goods were to let us uphold justice and force the Southern Tang court to return and restore the original state." Zhao Pu looked embarrassed. You have received all the money. You should have done things for the Nanyue Kingdom, but why did you go to conquer Sun Yu?

"If you surrender to my Song Dynasty, you must have a letter of fame. This territory must be handed over to our people. It will be a county and give it to him." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand. If Sun Yu was willing to come to the Song Dynasty, his territory would not be possible to give it to the Southern Tang Dynasty. He would definitely send someone to take over it himself. As for how to go there, there will always be a way.

"Then I will talk to Jing'ansi, they are better at this." Zhao Pu did not dare to take on this terrible thing. He felt that Zhao Kuangyin was completely whimsical and there was no such good thing. As long as he was not clamped on his forehead, he would not agree. Jing'ansi was under the jurisdiction of Zhao Guangyi, the prefect of Kaifeng. They were brothers anyway, so it would be fine if they couldn't handle it. As long as they didn't let themselves take the blame, it would be fine.

"Yeah, I'm relieved to do things in Guangyi." Zhao Kuangyin patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder with an expression that my brother was much better than you.

"That's it, that's it." Zhao Pu nodded repeatedly, but cursed in his heart, "You are just a slut, how could you stay in Kaifeng as the prefectural governor just because you are your own brother, and you still give so much power. You are uncomfortable and will cause trouble sooner or later."

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have something to do here. Let the matter of Southern Tang be released first. Zhou Xingfeng died, and Hengzhou Governor Zhang Wenbiao rebelled. His son Zhou Baoquan wrote to the court for help. What should we do?" Zhao Kuangyin almost forgot the matter, but he came to instruct Zhao Pu to take the blame.

"Good thing, our Song Dynasty took this opportunity to take Nan Chu, and took Nanping away, and directly led the troops to Shu." Zhao Pu felt a little incredible. Such a thing was simple and stolen, so why was it his turn?

"Well, Lao Zhao, who do you think can be the commander?" Zhao Kuangyin nodded. This was indeed a good thing, but the embarrassment he was not in how to deal with this matter, but in not wanting to go out to fight in person, for fear of following Chai Rong's footsteps. He had been in the military for half his life and finally sat on the dragon throne, but he had not yet sat on the warmth. He didn't want to go out and fight hard, and his son was still young.

"Of course it's the imperial guard..." Before the words "personal expedition" were expressed, Zhao Pu realized that he did not want to go to the expedition.

The rhythm, otherwise it would be my turn to say. But this is also strange. Every time I fought, I was at the forefront, but now I am afraid.

Zhao Pu didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin rushed in front to show the people behind so that he could climb up. Now he is already the emperor, so he should sit behind and see others trying hard to show him on the front line, and his status is different.

"I think that General Murong Yanzhao can be the commander." Zhao Pu thought for a moment and thought of the right candidate. Murong Yanzhao had a lot of results in his life. Now he is not only the governor of the East Road of Shandong, but also the second rank of the Secretariat, and can be regarded as the number one general of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty. Since Zhao Kuangyin did not want to lead the army in person, it is most appropriate for him to command the army.

"Yes, Murong Yanzhao can still trust me. When I go to Nanchu, I will definitely use Nanping. Lao Zhao, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Kuangyin's meaning was very clear. This Nanchu was defeated as an enclave? How could it be? It would be better to continue to make Zhou Baoquan happy. It is better to take the elite away from his sight than Murong Yanzhao and he has a limit of trust.

"It might as well send a partial army to take advantage of the situation and take down Jiangling directly while it is unprepared. Then send troops to Nanchu, then advance can attack and retreat and defend. There is an allusion, what is it called?" Zhao Pu had a headache. There is an allusion for this matter. It was a Spring and Autumn Period, but he didn't know it. It was impossible to have nothing to do. Unfortunately, he is old and has limited results when he studied, and most of them can't remember it.

"The strategy of destroying Guo by false paths? Old Zhao has a few tricks. This idea is good. I will say that at the morning meeting tomorrow. Remember." Zhao Kuangyin resisted his inner contempt. He was very familiar with this allusion. Old Zhao was just smart and didn't like to study, but he couldn't do it. Old Zhao could trust him. He had to take the blame for these things so that he could maintain a grand image. As an emperor, how could he have thoughts of being unkind, righteous and moral?

"That, let General Murong be the general, let me take the blame?" It would be fine, but Zhao Pu may not be able to take the blame, he is afraid.

"Of course, these are all your proposals. As an official, how can I take advantage of you? Lao Zhao, you work day and night for state affairs. When the war is over next year, I will give you a palace maid." Zhao Kuangyin looked like you know. He thought Lao Zhao was afraid of his inner self and did not dare to take a concubine. He gave him one as an emperor. This Wei family should have nothing to say.

"I thank Your Majesty." Old Zhao made a cruel decision. If he did this, he was afraid that the Zhao brothers would care about it. Since it was given by the boss of the Zhao family, this should be safe enough. After all, if he was thinking about it, he would not give it to himself. I hope it would not be too ugly.

Zhao Kuangyin had almost drunk alcohol and had eaten most of the food. It was almost dark that day, so he got up and left immediately. Zhao Pu followed behind and delivered it to the door.

"If we are between us, it is a secret discussion between the king and the minister. Except for what you need to say in the court, you know, Lao Zhao, I will leave first." Zhao Kuangyin got into the sedan chair and lie inside. It was so cold outside. I didn't feel that I had led troops to fight in the past two years. I have become more and more afraid of the cold.

"I respectfully send you my Majesty." Zhao Pu wanted to go to Zhao Laoer first and say hello in advance, but Zhao Kuangyin's words just before leaving immediately wiped out Zhao Pu's little thoughts. He was close to the imperial city, and he might have to turn around and go back to prepare for the memorial of the morning court tomorrow.
