Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the end, Zhao Gou finally made a compromise. He promised to reduce the royal palace fees and allocate 300,000 taels of silver from the inner library. As for the remaining 400,000 taels, Zhao Ding was still responsible.

However, after this incident, Zhao Gou had tolerated Zhao Ding to the limit. He has secretly vowed that he will deprive Zhao Ding of the position of deputy minister after the preparation of the military salary is completed! As for who can succeed Zhao Ding, then Zhao Gou and Qin Hui need to negotiate.

"Your Majesty, there is another important matter to report to the minister." After discussing the military payment, Zhao Ding spoke again.

"What's the matter? Say!" Zhao Go's face was impatient.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan imperial camp is very dissatisfied with Lord Wang Yuan! I think Lord Wang can no longer serve as the commander of the imperial camp!" Zhao Ding said.

"Oh? Why is this? Why are the members of Yuying dissatisfied with Wang Yuan?" Zhao Gou asked in surprise.

"As the commander of the imperial battalion, Wang Yuan deducts the army's salary! Last year, the imperial battalion's four hundred thousand two army salary, he issued only thirty thousand taels to the soldiers, and all the rest became his private property!" Zhao Ding said.

"Stopping so much military salary? I'm afraid it's impossible! I still need to check this matter!" Zhao thought about it, and said.

After listening to Qin Hui next to him, he scolded Wang Yuan secretly in his heart. Although it is very common in Jiangnan Army to deduct military pay, but it is the first one to deduct such serious deductions like Wang Yuan! Other generals withheld military pay, generally conspired with their subordinates, the generals eat meat, and the subordinates have to drink soup, while Wang Yuan did all the bad things alone, and the other subordinates of the imperial camp did not get any benefits!

Therefore, no one in the imperial camp, from generals to soldiers, does not hate Wang Yuan!

"Your Majesty, Wang Yuan's reputation in the army is extremely poor! He not only deducts military pay, he often punishes soldiers! In addition, he did not have any military exploits but became the commander of the imperial battalion. Some people in the imperial battalion made outstanding contributions but could not be promoted. People such as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others are strongly dissatisfied! I have also heard that Wang Yuan’s servants can bully Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others! Yuying is afraid that he has endured to the extreme, now if he doesn’t do anything to Wang Yuan I'm afraid that something big will happen!" Zhao Ding said.

"Wang Yuan, as the commander of the imperial battalion and privy envoy, punishes the soldiers who made mistakes. This is normal! As for you said he had no military exploits, huh, Wang Yuan was also one of the first people to take refuge in me that day. He has the escort. Gong, no one in the imperial camp can compare to him!" Zhao Gou said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter carefully! When I saw Lord Wang Yuan entering and leaving the palace, many soldiers guarding the palace looked at him with hatred in their eyes." Zhao Ding said.

"Okay! I have my own consideration of this matter! If there is nothing else, you can leave." Zhao Gou was very impatient in his heart.

He also didn't take Zhao Ding's words to heart. In his opinion, military lieutenants hate Shangguan, which is nothing. Some senior officials are more strict with their subordinates, so dissatisfaction with subordinates will not cause major events. He didn't know that Wang Yuan had already done nothing bad in the imperial camp. From Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan to every soldier, the imperial camp wanted to smash Wang Yuan's body into pieces.

Just because Wang Yuan is a close friend of Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou has been protecting him!

In fact, over the years, many ministers have told Zhao Gou about Wang Yuan's various faults, but Zhao Gou didn't take it to heart.

"I'm tired, let's go now!" Zhao Ding would say more, Zhao Gou had already stood up and said coldly.

He left the Zichen Temple surrounded by a group of eunuchs and court ladies, only Zhao Ding and Qin Hui were left in the room.

The setting sun is already setting, the setting sun is like blood!

Qin Hui looked at Zhao Ding with a faint smile on his face.

Qin Hui has always disliked Zhao Ding. In his opinion, Zhao Ding is pretending to be noble! There are greedy people in the court, but Zhao Ding is not greedy! North Korea and China do not want to war, they all want to make peace with the Jurchens, but Zhao Ding has always opposed the peace!

Judging from today's situation, Zhao Gou has also been intolerable to Zhao Ding. It seems that Zhao Ding will leave the court soon.

Thinking of this, Qin Hui felt extremely proud.

"Master Qin, I hope you can persuade your Majesty to be careful of Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan. I have heard some bad rumors!" Zhao Ding said.

"Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, they are just two humble generals, so what should they worry about? Do they really dare to rebel? I don't believe it!" Qin Hui sneered.

During the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, the status of civil servants was much higher than that of military generals.

Qin Hui always looked down on those mud legs with weapons. Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were from poor families, and he always hated them! Of course, Wang Yuan is not the same as them. Wang Yuan came from a family of soldiers and nobles in the army for generations. Now that Wang Yuan is serving as a clerk, civil servants will not underestimate Wang Yuan! But Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, although important generals of the imperial camp, few people can afford them.

"Master Qin, still have to be careful!" Zhao Ding reminded again.

"I'll look into this matter carefully!" Seeing Zhao Ding's constant reminders, Qin Hui finally got serious, nodded, and said.

"Master Qin, how is the battle in the north recently?" Zhao Ding said again.

"Jiangnan is too far from the north, and the war situation in the north has not yet come! But if you want to come to Emperor Xuanwu to be vulnerable, you will undoubtedly be defeated! We have millions of soldiers and horses, and the Jurchens have hundreds of thousands of troops. Guan Shan cannot be our opponent at all. !" Qin Hui said.

"I also feel that we will definitely win! After this battle, I finally unified the Song Dynasty! Master Qin, if Emperor Xuanwu did not die on the battlefield and we captured Emperor Xuanwu alive, it would be better to spare him his life." Zhao Dingdao .

"Spare him? Why is this?" Qin Hui said.

"He is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, the former crown prince, he inherited the throne, to a certain extent, it is justified! He is also considered to be my son's royal son, it is better not to kill him." Zhao Dingdao.

"Hmph, Emperor Xuanwu has outstanding abilities. In just five or six years, he was a teenager who caused an earth-shaking change in Guan Shan, killing Zhe Keqiu, defeating Jurchen, and Northern Expedition Xixia! If such a person is kept, It is a huge threat from your majesty, so he must be killed." Qin Hui said.

"Master Qin, if the two supreme emperors come back in the future and see him die, wouldn't you blame your majesty?" Zhao Ding said.

"Two Supreme Emperors? Well, let's talk about it in the future." Qin Hui sneered and said.

In Qin Hui's view, the two supreme emperors were dreaming of coming back! It is impossible for Zhao Gou to welcome the return of the two supreme emperors!

Qin Hui smiled as he walked forward, Zhao Ding frowned as he watched Qin Hui's back.

"Fine! Your Majesty never liked me, and the ministers in the court didn't like me either! I finally realized the mood of Qu Yuan back then. Everyone is drunk and I am alone, and the world is turbid and I am alone! This court is not me, Zhao Ding. I stayed somewhere. After the preparation of the military payment was completed, I immediately went to the court, and from then on, I became a free and easy person, and no longer asked about the world! As for the death or life of Emperor Xuanwu, it has nothing to do with me, and I have no choice.” Zhao Dingchang After a long sigh, he finally walked outside.

The night was getting darker, and Qin Hui returned to his home.

His home is also magnificent, but Lin'an City is second only to the imperial palace.

At this moment, candles are being lit in the bedroom, and there is a stove next to it. The room is unusually warm.

Qin Hui was sitting at the table, holding a few letters in his hand, checking them one by one.

These are letters from the prefects and prefectures of various places, all of which are letters that want to take refuge in Qin Hui and support Qin Hui.

"A person who knows the current affairs is a talented person! The prefects and prefectures in various places are still aware of the current affairs! If not, I will definitely replace all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River with my confidants of Qin Hui!" Qin Hui secretly said.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Qin Hui received the letter, and saw a small servant walk in.

"My lord, Mr. Kang from the palace is here, and I'm waiting for the lord outside at the moment!" Xiao Si said.

"Oh? Lord Kang!" Qin Hui was stunned, then stood up and walked outside.

The so-called Lord Kang in the palace is Kang Lu, the general manager of the palace, and Zhao Gou's most trusted eunuch!

After Zhao Gou came to the throne, he had the most trusted cronies for the eunuchs, especially Kang Lv, Yangui, Gao Miao, Zhang Quwei, Zhang Dan, and Chen Yongxi. Some housekeepers. At present, Kang Lu and Yan Gui are in charge of all important matters in the palace, Gao Miao and Zhang Quwei are responsible for purchasing various things in the palace, and Zhang Dan and Chen Yongxi are responsible for building the palace. The six people are all powerful. One of the main reasons why Wang Yuan was able to become a privy envoy and the commander of the imperial camp was to please these six people, and these six people helped Wang Yuan speak in front of the emperor.

Qin Hui entered the hall, and Kang Lu actually stood there with an anxious expression on his face.

"Master Kang, it's so late, what do you want? Why don't you just sit down?" Qin Hui asked in surprise.

"The big thing is not good! The big thing is not good!" Kang Lu said immediately when he saw Qin Hui.

Before Qin Hui could sit down, Kang Lu trot to Qin Hui's.

"What the **** is it?" Qin Hui hurriedly asked.

"I just got news that there seems to be a mutiny in the army!" Kang Lu said anxiously.

"What? Mutiny? How did Master Kang get the news?" Qin Hui said in disbelief.

"Up and down the imperial camp, more than 30,000 soldiers wanted to mutiny and overthrow Wang Yuan! With so many soldiers going to rebel, there is always news! I have some cronies who have received the news, come to inform me! Your majesty is asleep, so I Come to Master Qin immediately!" Kang Lu said.
