"This Zhao Junchen will inevitably become a big trouble in the future! But I just don't know...... Will he be a big trouble for Daming? Or is it a big trouble for my Daikin? …… Such a person, if he can't take it for his own use and stay by his side to monitor it at any time, he must be killed to feel at ease! ”

Hearing Xuan Ye's comment, Qian Tong was suddenly shocked.

It is rare for Xuan Ye to give such a high evaluation to a person.

Qian Tong didn't know what the basis of Xuan Ye's evaluation was, and he didn't dare to ask more, but asked cautiously: "Great Khan, we are near the border of Xuanfu Town, and we also control a group of horse bandits, about more than 300 people, if the Great Khan is a little jealous of that Zhao Junchen, let's arrange for this group of horse bandits to find an opportunity to kidnap or kill him to prevent future troubles......"

Xuan Ye waved his hand and said, "I think this Zhao Junchen will become a big trouble in the future, not only because he has scheming and means, but also because I perceive his ambition, but also because he will do anything to realize his ambitions!"

This kind of person is like Cao Cao, a capable minister who governs the world, a traitor in troubled times, must have a master to control, if it is used in the right place, it will naturally benefit immensely, but if it is used in the wrong place, he will become a powder keg that will explode at any time! Scold! If he were my courtier, I would be able to control him, but do you think that Emperor Deqing of the Han people was a master? ”

Qian Tong immediately lowered his head and said: "Deqing is arrogant and lascivious, good at great achievements, good at small skills but lacking in big strategy, and having small strategies but no great wisdom, naturally it cannot be compared with the Great Khan!" ”

Xuan Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right!" I think Zhao Junchen may become a big trouble for my Dajin, provided that Deqing can control him, but if Deqing can't control him, then he will become a big disaster for Daming! Therefore, Zhao Junchen was kept for the time being and let him continue to sit in the big ...... When he grows full-fledged, he will definitely be unwilling to lie in Deqing, and this powder keg will blow up!

At that time, if he blew up Deqing, the Ming Dynasty would fall into civil strife, just the opportunity for my Dajin to get out, if he couldn't blow up Deqing, then he could only defect to my Dajin, and my Dajin would have one more talent! ”

Qian Tong was convinced and said, "Great Khan Shengming! ”

Xuan Ye pondered again for a moment before ordering, "Next, there are two things that you need to do immediately!" First, after Dajin and Daming opened a mutual market, you must keep a close eye on all the movements of Zhao Junchen's caravan, and you must investigate in detail and report to me what they have done and who they have met......

Second, he sent people to spread rumors in the Ming Dynasty, saying that Zhao Junchen had the blood of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, and he himself was also a figure like Wang Mang, who was bent on restoring the Song Dynasty! ”

Qian Tong was shocked, but soon he smiled and said, "The minister will do it!" ”

*

At the same time, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhao Junchen also led the team to rush to the territory of Xuanfu Town.

Along the way, taking advantage of Zhao Zicheng's injury, Zhao Junchen also deliberately showed concern, not only to ask for warmth and considerate care, but also to arrange Zhao Zicheng to recuperate in his carriage, and even put the mink velvet given to him by Emperor Deqing on Zhao Zicheng's body.

Zhao Junchen never thought that he could subdue Zhao Zicheng for his own use, Zhao Zicheng was born in a noble family, and his brother was Emperor Deqing's henchman, the pro-military governor of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, and Zhao Zishan, the Marquis of Jingwu, whose status was not inferior to that of Jinyiwei's commander Hong Jin, and Zhao Zicheng, who had such a family background, would never have taken refuge in Zhao Junchen.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen just wanted to further befriend Zhao Zicheng and make his plan to control Xuanfu Town smoother.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen cared so much about himself, the "general of the defeated army", Zhao Zicheng couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

When Zhao Junchen once again said that he would give Zhao Zicheng the ginseng that Emperor Deqing gave him, Zhao Zicheng was more and more moved, but sighed again: "Alas! It's a shame to be humble, this competition originally wanted to win glory for the court and boost the morale of Zhao Gelao, but he didn't expect it to be because of a temporary miss, and suffered a complete defeat...... After this incident spread, the officers and men in the army didn't know how to treat their humble duties, but they were afraid that they would have no face to see people! ”

Seeing that Zhao Zicheng was not worried about his injury, nor did he care about the pros and cons of this negotiation, but was just concerned about his face and image, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

But on the surface, Zhao Junchen said solemnly: "Mr. Zhao is too humble! Of course, you were slightly injured, but Tuhai also died and lost the strength to fight again, how is this a complete defeat? It's a tie!

I have also heard of the fame of Tuhai, he is one of the best generals among the Jianzhou Jurchens, whether it is He Yu, the chief soldier of Liaodong Town, or Zhang Su, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, they are full of fear of him, and never dare to confront him.

Therefore, no one who heard this incident dared to underestimate Mr. Zhao, but gave Mr. Zhao a thumbs up and praised Mr. Zhao for being a world-famous general and excellent in martial arts!

Zhao Zongbing, don't worry, this competition will end in a draw, I have arranged it, so that everyone is of a unified voice, even the Great Khan of Jianzhou Jurchen has expressed his position and admitted, and no one will dare to question it in the future! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zhao Zicheng was ashamed and happy.

is ashamed that Zhao Zicheng is very aware of the strength gap between him and Tu Hai, and the competition between the two only took a cup of tea to determine the winner and loser, and if it wasn't for Tu Hai's mercy during the competition, he would have been cut off his head a long time ago; If he hadn't taken the tactics of exchanging horses with injuries and only attacking but not defending during the competition, he would not have been able to kill Tuhai's crotch war horse at all; Now that Zhao Junchen insists on saying that this competition is a draw, Zhao Zicheng naturally can't help but feel a little ashamed.

At the same time, Zhao Zicheng cares most about his own face, and Zhao Junchen's approach undoubtedly saved his face, not only did not damage his image, but also gave him one more capital to brag about in the future, Zhao Zicheng was naturally happy in his heart.

Seeing the change in Zhao Zicheng's expression, Zhao Junchen knew that Zhao Zicheng's face was still a little thin, and he couldn't calmly accept his confusion and reversal of black and white, so he spoke again, repeatedly praised Zhao Zicheng's martial arts, and deliberately exaggerated Zhao Zicheng's performance, constantly scratching Zhao Zicheng's itch.

In the end, Zhao Zicheng finally accepted the statement of "tie", not only did he no longer have any shame, but he was also complacent.

At the same time, Zhao Zicheng already regarded Zhao Junchen as his life confidant, and only felt that Zhao Junchen knew himself better than his brother Zhao Zishan, and treated him better.

Seeing that the heat was enough, Zhao Junchen changed the topic and said: "By the way, there is one more thing, that is, those eyeliners and internal ...... of Jianzhou Jurchen I killed them and cut off their heads to send them to the Great Khan of the Jianzhou Jurchens, of course, because I made a decision on the fly and was in a hurry to obey the power, but I was just negotiating with Qincha, and I should not meddle in the internal affairs of Xuanfu Town, and I was also suspected of overstepping my authority when dealing with this matter, but I am afraid that it will cause some criticism in the center of the capital afterwards! Therefore, when this matter is reported to the court in the future, don't reveal my relationship, just say that this matter is all because Zhao Zongbing is aware of everything, and it is all handled by Zhao Zongbing himself, how about it? ”

Zhao Junchen's plan to infiltrate Xuanfu Town was extremely urgent, and naturally Emperor Deqing could not detect any signs.

Emperor Deqing is suspicious by nature, if he hears about this matter, he will inevitably be vigilant and wonder why Zhao Junchen can find out so many spies and eyeliner in just a few days, and then he will speculate Zhao Junchen's infiltration plan for Xuanfu Town, and then it will be difficult for the matter to end.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen emptied all the spies of the Jianzhou Jurchens in Xuanfu Town in one fell swoop this time, although it is also a small credit, but Zhao Junchen definitely does not dare to take it on himself, and he must hand it over to Zhao Zicheng.

On the other hand, hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zhao Zicheng was overjoyed again.

Last night, Zhao Junchen suddenly came up with a lot of detailed evidence, showing that the Jianzhou Jurchens planted a large number of eyeliners and internal responses in Xuanfu Town, and arrested all the suspects without Zhao Zicheng's consent, and then killed them on the spot despite public opinion and insisted on going their own way.

Zhao Zicheng was naturally very dissatisfied with Zhao Junchen's approach, and only felt that Zhao Junchen acted recklessly with the identity of Qin Cha and Pavilion Elder, and also damaged his authority as the chief soldier of Xuanfu! At the same time, Zhao Zicheng has always been unaware of the infiltration of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and Zhao Junchen needs to come forward to expose the matter in person, which will also damage Zhao Zicheng's image in the eyes of Emperor Deqing.

Therefore, Zhao Zicheng originally planned to write a song to impeach Zhao Junchen.

Now, Zhao Junchen took advantage of Zhao Zicheng's good impression of himself, and proposed to give Zhao Zicheng all the credit for the investigation of spies, which undoubtedly offset Zhao Zicheng's negligence, Zhao Zicheng was naturally overjoyed, and the remnants of his heart suddenly disappeared, he only felt that Zhao Junchen was a good person, and naturally he did not plan to complain to the center of the court.

So, Zhao Zicheng nodded again and again: "Actually, Zhao Ge Lao's approach is also a last resort, those eyeliners and internal reflections of Jianzhou Jurchen are the head snakes of Xuanfu Town, everyone is well-connected, if this matter is handled by me personally, it is easy to leak the news, not to mention, it will inevitably offend too many local forces, and it is just right to hand it over to a dragon like Zhao Gechen to deal with it, and Zhao Gechen's impromptu decision is also for the overall situation...... However, since it was Zhao Ge Lao who was concerned about the reaction of the center, I naturally wouldn't let Zhao Ge always be embarrassed, and this matter would all be on me! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, thank you for General Zhao's understanding!" ”

Zhao Zicheng hesitated for a moment, but then said: "However, I still can't believe that people like Liu Youde are also the eyeliner of Jianzhou Jurchen...... This person has always been very respectful to me, and he is also capable of doing things, if it weren't for Zhao Ge Lao, you came up with conclusive evidence, I wouldn't have doubted him anyway. ”

Zhao Junchen still smiled unchanged, and said: "It is precisely because he is a spy of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and he will not leak traces on weekdays, but he must deliberately show a loyal and patriotic appearance, only in this way can he not be suspected and secretly do things for the Jianzhou Jurchen. ”

Liu Youde, whom Zhao Zicheng said, is the biggest businessman in Xuanhua Mansion, although there are also evil deeds such as snatching and robbing people's wives and daughters, but he is indeed not the internal response of Jianzhou Jurchen, and this time he was killed by Zhao Junchen's deliberate framing!

And the reason why Zhao Junchen framed him was because this person had strong financial resources and had a competitive relationship with the "Jubao Firm" in Xuanfu Town, if Xuanfu Town wanted to turn against the "Jubao Firm" in the future, Liu Youde would be the best substitute for the "Jubao Firm".

Therefore, Zhao Junchen took advantage of this opportunity to investigate the spies and deliberately framed him to get rid of him, just to strengthen the influence and control of the "Jubao Commercial Bank" in Xuanfu Town.

In addition to Liu Youde, there is also Wang Ye, the wealthy landlord of Daxuan Township, who has always monopolized the upstream water source, which seriously affected Zhao Junchen's plan to settle Shaanxi and Gansu refugees and cultivate fields in Xuanfu Town, and almost had a fight with Zhang Cheng and others, but was also eliminated by Zhao Junchen;

There is also Xu Zhicheng, a thousand households in Tonghua Thousand Households in Xuanfu Town, who is too greedy and repeatedly asks for benefits from the lion of the "Jubao Commercial Bank", but he often turns his face ruthlessly and takes the money and does not do anything, which seriously hinders the infiltration plan of the "Jubao Commercial Bank", and naturally cannot be kept.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen gave Xuan Ye twenty-eight heads this time, of which only the owners of the twenty-five heads were innocent, and the owners of the other three heads were not Jianzhou Jurchen's spies, but Zhao Junchen's means to take the opportunity to confuse the public and eliminate dissidents.

Zhao Zicheng naturally didn't know about Zhao Junchen's methods, he only felt that what Zhao Junchen said was reasonable, and he couldn't help but be taught, and nodded again and again: "What Zhao Ge Lao said is reasonable, as the so-called 'knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts', the defense area of Xuanfu Town is too close to the sphere of influence of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and these local snakes must be secretly wary of one or two in the future." ”

After a pause, Zhao Zicheng's expression was a little relaxed, and he said: "However, through this thunderous method, not only did I uproot all the spies of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but also deterred those wall grasses who had different thoughts, I don't have to worry too much about Xuanfu Town in a short time!" ”

Zhao Junchen seemed to smile and said, "Yes, all the spies have been removed, and it is natural that you can relax a little in the future." ”

*

On this day, when night had just fallen, Zhao Junchen's team finally returned to the defense area of Xuanfu Town in time.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen and the others returned safely, all the civil and military officials in Xuanfu Town were relieved, especially Gao Yang, the general who was in charge of sitting in the rear, and he looked even more relieved at this time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Junchen did not rush back to Xuanhua Mansion, but spent the night in a military camp on the border of Xuanfu Town.

Not to mention the grand welcome of the officials of Xuanfu Town, the time was soon already in the evening.

But he said that the general Gao Yang, after inspecting the defense of the barracks, planned to go back to his room to rest.

However, when he returned to his room, he found that Zhao Junchen's guard, Zhao Dali, had been waiting for him at the door of the room for a long time.

Seeing Zhao Dali's appearance, Gao Yang seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but change his complexion.

Zhao Dali didn't pay attention to the change in Gao Yang's expression, but just said angrily: "Senior General Gao, my Zhao Ge Lao invites you to go and talk to him." ”

Gao Yang's expression changed again, and he asked with a reluctant smile: "But I don't know, what is the matter with Zhao Ge Lao calling me to meet at this time?" ”

Zhao Dali frowned, and said: "I'm just Zhao Ge Lao's guard, where can I understand Zhao Ge Lao's thoughts, you just follow me!" ”

Then, without waiting for Gao Yang to ask again, Zhao Dali had already taken the lead in the direction of Zhao Junchen's room, and Gao Yang had no choice but to follow in fear.

When Gao Yang was led into Zhao Junchen's room by Zhao Dali, he found that Zhao Junchen was wearing a mink wool coat, and he was cooking a pot of dog meat on the stove while roasting the fire, as if he was planning to eat supper.

Moreover, in addition to Zhao Junchen in the room, there is also a person Gao Yang who is very familiar with Zhao Junchen sitting at the same table, it is Zhao An, the second shopkeeper of the "Jubao Commercial Bank".

After seeing Gao Yang, Zhao Junchen's expression was not salty or light, he pointed to the dog meat in the pot in front of him, and said slowly: "Jianzhou Jurchen Khan Xuanye shot his hunting dog with his own hands, and then gave me the dog meat, saying that dog meat is a delicacy in the world, and I also wanted to taste it, so I stewed such a pot, which smelled really fragrant, but it was too boring to enjoy the food alone, so I wanted to invite Gao Shen to eat with me." ”

On the other side, Zhao An pointed to the position beside him and said with a smile: "Senior General sit down, Zhao Ge has always been approachable, and there is no need to talk about etiquette at this time." ”

Although Zhao An said that there was no need to be polite, Gao Yang still made a big bow to Zhao Junchen with trepidation, and then under Zhao Junchen's instructions, he carefully sat on the seat with half of his buttocks.

Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand and rubbed it by the stove, and sighed: "The life in the frontier military town is really extremely hard, I stayed in the barracks tonight, and I had already planned to sleep, who knew that the room was too cold, and I couldn't sleep when I was frozen, so I simply let people stew this pot of dog meat, and by the way, I used the stove to keep warm...... Alas, I just stayed in the barracks for a night and couldn't hold on, and the living conditions of the soldiers below were not as good as mine, I really don't know how they survived. ”

Gao Yang hurriedly said: "I will serve the court and be loyal to His Majesty, so I won't feel fortunate!" ”

Zhao Junchen sneered and said, "It's really touching that a good one is loyal and loyal...... In fact, the imperial court also knows that the life of the soldiers is miserable, and it also turns a blind eye to some of the practices of the border soldiers on weekdays, and always gives some additional benefits so that you can have hope to persevere...... However, there are some benefits that can be taken, but there are other benefits that are difficult to stop if you take them! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen picked up a thin book from his hand and threw it directly in front of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang's body trembled, and he picked up the booklet with trembling hands and flipped through it, but saw that it was full of evidence that he secretly colluded with the Jianzhou Jurchen.

The evidence wasn't very comprehensive and detailed, but it was enough to make him die or die!

After seeing the contents of this booklet, Gao Yang's face suddenly turned pale, and there was no luck in his heart, so he knelt in front of Zhao Junchen with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao Ge Lao forgives his sins!" Zhao Ge forgives his sins! ”

It turned out that Gao Yang was the most important internal response of the Jianzhou Jurchen in Xuanfu Town, which Qian Tong said!

When Zhao Junchen investigated the Jianzhou Jurchen spies yesterday, Gao Yang had always been frightened, but until the end of the negotiations between Zhao Junchen and the Jianzhou Jurchens, he had not been found on him, Gao Yang couldn't help but feel lucky, thinking that he had escaped.

But now he knows that it is not that he escaped, but that Zhao Junchen has another treatment for him!

Zhao Junchen glanced at Gao Yang coldly, and said slowly: "Forgiveness? Of course, you have to forgive your sins, otherwise, I would have given your head to the Great Khan of Jianzhou Jurchen a long time ago, how could I allow you to this day? ”

"Thank you, Elder Ge! Thank you, Mr. Ge! Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Gao Yang couldn't help but look happy, and kowtowed again and again to thank him.

Zhao Junchen said: "You don't have to thank me, but you should thank this shopkeeper Zhao!" When he heard that I had the evidence of your guilt, he immediately sought out me, saying that you were a usable talent, and that your crime was not serious, and that he had spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy your evidence of collaborating with the enemy! Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept you to this day! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Gao Yang was stunned again, and only then did he understand why Zhao An appeared here, it turned out that Zhao An spent money to save his life.

So, Gao Yang hurriedly thanked Zhao An, saying that he would do his best to assist the "Jubao Commercial Bank" in Xuanfu Military Town in the future, and the matter of the "Jubao Commercial Bank" was his Gao Yang's business.

Seeing Gao Yang's interest, Zhao Junchen was also satisfied.

Among the Xuanfu military towns, Zhao Zicheng, Gao Yang, and Zhang Jie are the three most important military attachés.

Among them, Zhao Zicheng is a very good person, as long as he deliberately sells him some face and compliments a few more words, many things will be handled very easily; Zhang Jie is a filial son, and mastering his hometown mother is equivalent to completely controlling him, and it is not difficult to deal with, but this Gao Yang is a treacherous and greedy person, and it is the most difficult to control.

However, it was precisely because of Gao Yang's greed that he reached out to take the benefits of the Jianzhou Jurchen, which also gave Zhao Junchen his handle, and it was naturally not difficult to operate in the future.

In this way, after mastering these three people in various ways, the day when Zhao Junchen completely controlled Xuanfu Town was already close at hand.
