Chapter 308 The Horse Buyer

Qin Hui looked normal, but his heart jumped suddenly and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He said in a calm tone: "Guan family, it was given to His Highness Prince Kang by Wang Xie (xie, four tones), the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture. I just did it for you."

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually." Zhao Ning said with a smile, "Nothing else. It's human nature for friends to give gifts to each other."

"Yes Yes."

Even though he said that, Qin Hui didn't dare to think that Zhao Guan's family was just asking casually.

The Zhao Guan family is obviously dissatisfied with their actions, and I'm afraid the Zhao Guan family knows more.

Qin Hui adjusted his mood and said: "I have a personal relationship with King Kang, and I will give you some gifts on weekdays. I actually admire King Kang very much."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning became curious.

"Kang Wang is easy-going and generous. He doesn't seek fame or fortune. He also likes to farm, and I also like to farm. We communicate more casually on weekdays."

Qin Hui likes farming?

What nonsense!

Qin Hui, you only like to have interpersonal relationships, do you think I don’t know?

You see, now I attach great importance to the new agricultural policy, promote Chen Min, set up supervisors and town officials in various places, establish agricultural colleges, and introduce new agricultural taxes.

And you see that Zhao Gou cultivates the land very well at home on weekdays. Do you want to recommend him?

What do you want to do by establishing such a good image among various factions?

Want to join the political hall?

Zhao Ning said: "Kang Wang likes farming?"

"Prince Kang had a special liking for farming, and he planted a lot of it himself at home."

"Oh, I don't know that yet."

"King Kang likes farming, so I recommended him to see Mr. Chen Min and Chen to exchange experiences."

"Oh, it seems Qin Qing has a close relationship with Mr. Chen."

"I also like to farm, so I usually ask Mr. Chen for advice if I don't understand something."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh, almost every sentence of the simple dialogue between the monarch and his ministers had other meanings.

If Qin Hui's answer is slightly biased, he cannot afford the consequences.

However, Qin Hui was well-founded and did not hide anything. He also said, "I am a good official who is honest and has good hobbies."

No wonder he can navigate the line between conservatives and neo-decency with ease.

I am afraid that he did not stop praising the New Deal in front of the New Dealers, and he did not stop expressing his difficulties in front of the conservatives. He even shed tears and gave away money.

Everyone in Dali Temple was trained by Qin Hui to be obedient, and his efficiency can be said to be the highest among the Six Departments and Jiuqing Yamen.

"I also like farming. I will discuss it with you someday."

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning walked inside again, and when he reached the backyard of the Ministry of Justice, he suddenly said: "Many officials have said to me that Qin Qing is a loyal minister, a capable minister, and a capable minister."

"Those are all well taught by His Majesty."

"Zhao Ding said it, Cai Mao also said it, even Mr. Xu Han and Mr. Xu said it, and even Mr. Zhang Jun, who is thousands of miles away, praised you for your goodness."

"I don't dare!" Qin Hui suddenly realized.

Zhao Ning still had a kind face: "You are my good minister, why do you say you don't dare anymore?"

"I work for His Majesty. They praise me, but I dare not take credit for myself. It is only my duty to share your Majesty's worries."

"Have you heard the story of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

"Do you know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established an internal dynasty?"

Qin Hui replied: "In the past, after more than seventy years, the Han Dynasty became strong and powerful. In order to weaken the prime minister and better implement his own policies, Emperor Wu established an inner dynasty. All military and state decisions were decided by the inner dynasty.

The three ministers are only doing execution, and at the same time they are also trying to weaken the power of the prime minister."

"You are very smart."

After Zhao Ning finished speaking, he said nothing more.

The meaning of the emperor's words was too simple. It meant that a second person who was praised by all factions was not allowed to appear within the imperial court.

Not even the prime minister. The prime minister is watched by the Admonition Court and the Yushitai, and is scolded by the old faction. You, Qin Hui, are quite good. You have such a good reputation among all factions.

How do you ask me to use you again in the future?

The beating is over now. If Qin Hui still doesn't know how to measure, then he is looking for death.

Zhao Ning met Zhang Bangchang.

Zhang Bangchang has been in prison for more than two years. His life is definitely not as good as outside, but the food and drink are not less.

"The sinful minister sees your majesty, may you be blessed." Zhang Bangchang knelt on the ground.

"Thin."

"The guilty minister deserves to die, how dare he trouble the emperor to care about him." Zhang Bangchang acted tremblingly, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

Being able to stay in the Ministry of Punishment jail for two years means that he is definitely exempted from the death penalty.

Zhao Guan's family came in person today, which must be a good thing.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Can I still be an official?"

Zhang Bangchang was stunned and did not react for a while.

"Still...still...this...can still..."

"I have some things that I need you to do. If you do it well, you will be promoted. If you don't do it well, you will be beheaded and your house will be confiscated due to your previous crimes."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"I plan to buy a horse racing farm in Guangxi. I need you to go to Dali as an envoy to deepen the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Dali and increase the number of horses purchased."

Zhang Bangchang was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I will never give up even if I die!"

Most of the flattery in the Song Dynasty came from the northwest, and some also came from northern Hebei.

The situation in the northwest is unclear and the horse road is very risky. Zhao Ning definitely plans to send someone special to go there, but he must do it as a backup.

The North has difficulty buying roads, and the South has to make up for them.

Although the horses of Dali are a little short, they are famous for their endurance and can travel on mountainous terrain.

The horses on the Tea Horse Road are the best proof.

The Southern Song Dynasty also bought horses on a large scale in the Dali area.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, you can handle it well."

As per the old rules, my family stays in Tokyo.

Zhao Ning now has money to buy a horse. Didn't he just buy out eight million yuan? The money he bought should be spent!

Zhang Bangchang's matter is still a secret. Externally, he loudly declares a truce, but internally, he keeps a low profile and spends a lot of money on armaments.

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Ning asked again: "Qin Qing, you said before that Wang Xie, the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, gave King Kang a batch of bloody BMWs?"

"Yes."

"Why did Wang Xie give King Kang a bloody horse?"

"Someone reported that at the end of the previous year, when Wanyan Lou's family called, Wang Xie abandoned Yan'an City and fled, resulting in the fall of Yan'an and the death of 100,000 troops."

"So is this true?"

Qin Hui said: "There is no conclusion yet on whether it is true or false."

It is indeed unclear whether Wang Xie abandoned the city and fled. Even Zhang Jun did not say this.

This may involve strife between the Western armies.

Qin Hui was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and was in charge of Xing Prison. Wang Xie was afraid, so he went to the capital to send gifts.

But this move more or less means that there are no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

"In addition to giving King Kang the bloody horse, what else did he give?"

"As far as I know, I have given private gifts to some officials in the capital, all in the name of personal friendship, and they are not expensive gifts."

"Where did that bloody horse come from?"

"It is said that Zhe Yanzhi bought it from the northwest, and Wang Xie bought it at a high price."

Orihiko?

The person who lost his family?
