"What's going on?"

Gao Qiu took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over: "Someone in Jiangning Prefecture secretly organized a newspaper, and..."

"And what?"

"And he published a lot of propaganda in newspapers about the traitorous officials in the imperial court who wanted to increase taxes on the South."

Zhao Ning's expression dropped on the spot, and he took Gao Qiu's document.

This is not a document, but a newspaper.

The Imperial City Division monitored it in Jiangning Mansion and sent it back to the capital at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Ningzai read it carefully.

The content here is more than just about raising taxes in the South?

It was also said that the imperial court had destroyed the peace between Song and Jin because of the Battle of Taiyuan, and the Battle of Liaodong completely pushed the situation between the two countries to the brink of war.

In order to fight the war, the emperor in the capital, who was very happy with his achievements, had to impose heavy taxes on the Jiangnan area regardless of the life and death of the people.

The words used here are no longer vague, but point at Zhao Guan's nose and call him a tyrant like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han!

"Who bought this newspaper?"

"Here!" Gao Qiu immediately took out another document with records on it, "It's a scholar named Wang Xun from Jiangning."

Zhao Ning read it carefully again.

Gao Qiu explained: "This Wang Xun was just an unknown scholar in Jiangning Prefecture two years ago. His family was poor. He participated in the prefectural government's examination last year and failed to pass. It was said that he received a sum of money with the help of a noble person, but

The noble man asked him to buy a newspaper and write these things."

"Has the person behind it been found?"

"No, Wang Xun doesn't know who the other person is. He just comes to see him regularly and never tells him his identity, let alone his address."

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Gao Qiu said: "I think there is someone behind this."

"How can I see it?"

"For some reason, there have been a lot of similar comments recently even in Tokyo."

"What kind of comments like that?"

"As for the war, many people on the streets of Tokyo said that the imperial court invaded Taiyuan without authorization, undermined the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and provoked a war."

Zhao Ning said with great interest: "Qin Hui also mentioned to me today that some officials have made similar remarks. Who do you think is behind this?"

Gao Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

Gao Qiu immediately became energetic and said with a heartbroken look on his face: "I think it is Qin Hui who is behind this!"

Zhao Ning was quite surprised: "Why did you say this?"

"I found out that the Qin family's business in the north has become more frequent in the past year or two. Officials, think about it. Qin Hui has big business in the north. Naturally, he is not willing to go to war. So he deliberately sent people to show off to the people and the court.

, explained the disadvantages of going to war with the Jin people, and also caused trouble in the local area, putting pressure on the court and forcing His Majesty to compromise in order to achieve his ulterior secrets."

"You mean Qin Hui has business dealings with the Jin people?"

"It is very possible to have business dealings with the Jin people!"

"You mean you don't have direct evidence to prove that Qin Hui had business with the Jinren?"

"The Qin family has big business in Hebei, it must be him!" How could Gao Qiu miss the opportunity to mess with Qin Hui?

He continued: "Maybe the Jin people have sent a special agent to contact him!"

When he stopped at first, Zhao Ning felt that Gao Qiu was talking nonsense.

Qin Hui in history was indeed a great traitor.

But right now, Qin Hui has no reason to collaborate with the enemy!

He was already in power, and he was not captured to the Kingdom of Jin.

But Gao Qiu's last words reminded Zhao Ning of Lu Qingliu.

Lu Qingliu said that he was ordered by Qin Hui's wife Wang to go south to buy land, and Lu Qingliu was related to Jinren Xizuo.

So is Qin Hui’s wife, Wang, also related to Jin Ren Xizuo?

Gao Qiu said that the Qin family's business in Hebei was getting bigger and bigger, which actually reached a key point.

People will change.

Young people in the ivory tower always think that they can stick to their ideals all their lives, and even move themselves to tears on countless nights because of their persistence.

He also invented various quotations: Love with all your strength, live with all your strength, pursue with all your strength...

It wasn't until they walked out of the ivory tower, were lightly touched by reality, and fell to their knees, that they understood the truth: make money, kneel down, and don't be shabby.

In the end, I only had to use all my strength to seduce the woman, but found that I had no more energy.

People will change, and people will change as their position changes at certain stages.

Rich people hate war the most.

If it weren't for the Jingkang period when the Jin people went south several times, which caused great anger in the north, many wealthy people would still be unwilling to fight. They would rather spend money to buy peace like they did with the Liao Kingdom.

However, five years have passed since the first year of Jingkang.

With the Fourth Battle of Song and Jin Dynasties, Jin Wushu was defeated in Xuzhou and fled northward in a hurry, and the Song and Jin Dynasties ushered in a period of peace.

Human beings are such forgetful animals.

In just three years, the pain caused by the previous war has changed from numbness, to joy for peace, to the illusion of lasting peace.

On this basis, those with vested interests continue to fan the flames, so some people believe that peace should be a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ning felt that Qin Hui might really be fanning the flames behind his back.

But it's only possible.

In other words, any big business is possible.

For example, Zhang Jun, even Cai Mao, He Li, Mo Chou, etc. are all possible.

As for the interest groups in the South, they are 100% unwilling to fight.

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "Then do you, Captain Gao, do business in the north?"

Gao Qiu was startled and said quickly: "I definitely don't!"

"If you think it's Qin Hui, then you can find evidence for me. Don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"Yes, I have been sending people to investigate in Tokyo."

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Ning waved his hands tiredly, obviously wanting to rest.

"One more thing."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ning was a little impatient.

But Gao Qiu was shameless and said: "Han Shizhong won the battle in Liaodong, but recently some people in the court said that Han Shizhong was arrogant and wanted to support his troops in Liaodong."

"Who said that?"

"It came from the Privy Council."

Zhao Ning paused and said, "I understand, let's go down."

"I excuse myself."

"etc!"

"What else does your Majesty have to do?"

"What happened to the Lu Qingliu you asked to monitor?"

Gao Qiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have sent people to Yingtian Mansion to monitor his family. I know exactly which man his concubine has stolen."

"Go down."

"I excuse myself."

Zhao Ning returned to Funing Palace. He did not deal with any government affairs. After dark, he fell down and fell asleep.

I have been exhausted during this period.
