Chapter 175
When Li Changchong heard this, he said with some worry: "Mr. Zhao, Zhang Shuye is now the official's favorite, will it be useful?"
"You don't understand, Zhang Shuye has offended too many people." Zhao Ye said with a smile, "The year before last, the officials killed Xu Bingzhe in front of the main hall. It was Zhang Shuye who promoted it. It can be said that the officials killed so many people later because of it.
Zhang Shuye was pushing him behind his back, and there were countless people in the court who wanted to overthrow him."
"But will the imperial court pursue us for secretly paying off new soldiers to build houses?"
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time these things have happened. Besides, with me supporting you, who dares to touch you?"
After hearing what Zhao Ye said, Li Chong immediately found a place to settle down with a hanging heart.
Come to think of it, Zhao Ye was a minister, a deputy prime minister, and last year he was in charge of troops in Hebei and achieved military success. It is said that he was even on good terms with King Kang in private.
King Kang is now a popular figure among the officials.
No one in the government or the public would offend the servants because of these trivial matters.
This is the political game. Everyone adheres to the mentality that doing more is worse than doing less.
Li often said: "In this case, Zhang Shuye's military discipline is not strict in this matter. Now is the time of national defense crisis. If the recruits are like this, how can they defend against the enemy? This is the most taboo of the Zhao family, and it is also
The most worrying thing is that Mr. Zhao’s impeachment memorial was written in the area where the Zhao family is most worried, which will inevitably make the official family very angry at Zhang Shuye and Longyan.”
"You're right." Zhao Ye smiled.
Li Changchong added: "Besides, Zhang Shuye has been dismissed, maybe Mr. Zhao will have the opportunity to take charge of the Military Council. After all, Mr. Zhao had military exploits in Hebei last year."
Have military merit?
Zhao Ye just stayed with Zhao Gou in Daming Mansion, and his achievements were not even as good as Zhao Gou's.
While the two were chatting, a servant from outside suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Zhao, someone from the government is looking for you outside."
Zhao Ye walked out and was wondering who was looking for him. He Bin, Gao Qiu's number one thug, had already walked in with someone. He Bin covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice and said, "Sorry, I got infected recently."
A little bit of wind-heat, some cough, it will be fine soon, don’t worry about it.”
He Binsi spoke politely, then his eyes fell on Zhao Ye, and continued: "May I ask who is Li Changchong?"
Seeing He Bin's attitude, Zhao Ye immediately snorted: "Who are you?"
"He Bin, Secretary of the Imperial City."
Of course, Zhao Ye could tell that this was the Imperial City Secretary. The clothes of the Imperial City Secretary were easy to identify.
"Why didn't you even say hello when you came to my office? Do you know who I am?"
"We don't care who you are. This is the arrest warrant from the Imperial City Division. Are you Li Changchong?"
"You are so presumptuous!" Zhao Ye was furious, "I am my servant Zhao Ye, how dare you talk to me with such an attitude."
"Oh...it turns out to be Mr. Zhao. Okay, where is Li Chang?"
"What kind of place do you think this is?"
"Don't tell me?"
"I am the servant under my command!"
He Bin drew his sword, and Ban Zhi, the Imperial City Secretary behind him, also drew his sword.
Zhao Ye immediately changed his face and said quickly: "Li Changchang is at my residence, inside."
Imperial City Commanders filed in and soon dragged Li Chang out.
"Mr. Zhao, save me."
Zhao Ye didn't seem to hear Li Changchong's plea for help.
"Mr. Zhao, please save me, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Ye glanced at him and said: "You thief, I have severed ties with you long ago, yet you still dare to come to my house. Fortunately, the Imperial City Commander dared to come today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Li Changchong looked confused. Looking at Zhao Ye again, he looked completely different from before.
He shouted: "Xianggong Zhao..."
"Just obey the law and your family will be taken good care of."
Li often understood everything immediately.
Zhao Ye turned back to the house and immediately made preparations. When the Imperial City Secretary left, he took a carriage and went to Fan Ne's house.
Fan Ne, the Minister of War, came out to greet Zhao Ye: "Mr. Zhao."
"Servant Fan, let's talk inside."
The two of them arrived at Fanner's study.
Zhao Ye said: "I ordered Li Changchong to bribe the new army and deliberately forced the new army to beat people. Now the matter has become big."
"Ms. Zhao, won't you be involved in this matter?"
"Haha, Li Changchong and I broke off the relationship two months ago. This is known to everyone."
"No need to get involved?"
"It won't be involved. What happened today was all done by Li Changchong. He did this in order to please me and wanted to return to my mansion as a staff member. I didn't expect that he would cause such trouble. He even ran away afterward.
My government went up to threaten me. I am a servant, so how can I not distinguish between right and wrong? Fortunately, the imperial city commander arrived in time."
"I am also a kind person. After all, Li Changchong was once my staff. Although he has committed a crime, I will take good care of his family."
"Speaking of which, I am also a victim."
After hearing this, Fan Ne burst out laughing: "Xianggong Zhao is really good at killing people with a borrowed knife!"
"The New Army is what Your Majesty cares about most. If His Majesty knew of the mutiny of the New Army, he would definitely be furious. Everyone in the court, admonishing officials, and speaking officials would definitely take the opportunity to impeach Zhang Shuye. This is his dereliction of duty."
Fan Ne said: "If we can overthrow Zhang Shuye this time, we will recommend King Kang to take charge of the Military and Political Council. In the future, we will definitely be able to return to the military and political yamen."
Zhao Ye said: "How are you preparing over there?"
"Already ready."
"Okay, wait for the opportunity, Zhang Shuye and Zongze will defeat him together!"
In the evening, Zhao Ning was reading the latest textbooks from the Martial Arts Hall.
Most of the teaching materials in the martial arts hall involve the art of war.
However, Zhao Ning also wanted Chen Gui to write down the knowledge of military defense and incorporate it into the teaching materials of the martial arts hall.
For example, the engineer arm to be planned in the new army requires grassroots officers to be proficient in this knowledge, and even mid-level officers and senior officers must master it.
If an army is crossing a river, how long will it take to build a bridge or ship?
When the army faced the Jin Army's cavalry, how long did it take to dig a trench?
On the battlefield, time is the concrete manifestation of execution, and time is life.
Officers must know these things clearly in their minds. No matter whether they are at the grassroots level, middle level or high level, when making decisions, they must know what they are thinking and will not pat their heads on the head casually.
Zhao Ning had just finished reading the textbook categories of the Martial Arts Hall when Gao Qiu came again. When he came, he also brought a confession letter.
Zhao Ning read the confession carefully.
Gao Qiu said: "In the official family, Li Changchong's behavior is very strange. When we arrested him at Zhao Ye's house, he saved him one by one, Zhao Xianggong. But when he arrived at the Imperial City Department, he said that he was doing it to please Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye's decision to make this decision has nothing to do with him."
"It has nothing to do with it?"
