The weather was foggy, and it looked like it was going to rain. Tang Ning was dressed in thick clothes, but he still felt the biting cold.

Close the study window and return to the desk to continue reading the unidentified letter.

It's already March, and it's been five months since Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne.

In five months, a lot has changed. First, Zhao Ji asked the ministers in the court for their opinions on the war, and under the situation that the new party was suppressed, the old party leaders and factions occupied an absolute advantage.

Therefore, under the situation of the Great Song Dynasty was very good, and the Liao and Jin States had run out of oil after the Battle of the Tianshan Mountains, the Song State signed peace treaties with Liao and Jin.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are bounded by Confucianism, the eastern part belongs to the Song State, and the western part still belongs to the Liao State.

After the peace treaty was signed, some officials resigned. They couldn't understand what Zhao Ji and the ministers of the DPRK and China thought, obviously they could cook the rice as long as they added more fire, but these people preferred to eat half-cooked rice.

In order not to let themselves die in confusion, they chose the same route as Downing. Out of sight, out of mind, just take off the black gauze hat, and go back to his hometown to farm is happier than here.

Of course, there are not many such people, so Zhao Ji also has a competitive mind, he will approve one if he resigns, and one will approve a pair if he comes to two.

In three months, half of the key positions in the key departments were gone, and Zhao Ji was dumbfounded. It is true that there are not many people who leave, but they are all officials in important positions, and they hurriedly drew up a list of employees, but because they are not familiar with the business, the efficiency of the imperial court is low.

However, the situation has not improved until now, and often the decrees drawn up by the government affairs hall cannot be issued by the province until a week later, and it takes a month to implement them in the localities.

Tang Ning was not surprised by this, because this was the state of the Northern Song Dynasty when Zhao Ji was in power.

The upper and lower officials, even including him, the emperor, are desperately trying to make money in their arms, at this time, who still has the heart to care about that bullshit decree?

The above is the first thing written in this letter, and the second thing is about the Zhenguo Army.

Two months ago, the Japanese and Shenwu armies conducted an exercise with the Zhenguo army, and the results were surprising. In favor of Japan, the two armies of Shenwu defeated the Zhenguo army led by Zhao Tong with an overwhelming advantage, and made mockery afterwards.

This move directly led to a fire fight between the two sides, but the Zhenguo Army beat the Japanese and Shenwu armies all over the ground to find teeth.

This incident caused a sensation, because the big and small officers in the Zhenguo Army have not changed, and they are still the team left by Tang Ning. And this time, the matter is obviously that the Zhenguo Army is out of control, so there are only two ways to deal with this matter.

Either the Zhenguo army was disbanded, or the generals and colonels in the army were completely replaced.

Zhao Ji chose the second way, he transferred Fang La, Niu Shi, Chong Jianzhong, Gao Shu and others, and Cao De and Shi

Shi Ru and the others inserted it.

He thought that this would be done once and for all, but he didn't know that the real change had just begun.

Shi Shiru took Gao Shu's place at the helm of the Pingxia Camp, but before a month had passed, he was hoisted to a tree by the soldiers of the Pingxia Camp. Although he was not hanged, Shi Shiru was also insulted.

The Shi family was furious and offered to severely punish those who did this.

And when the commissioner of the Criminal Department went to investigate, 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers of the summer camp said that they had done it themselves.

The commissioner of the Criminal Department is stupid, what the hell is Shi Shiru doing, making two thousand people angry?

Turned his head to ask Shi Shiru, it turned out that this guy didn't understand the rules in the Pingxia camp at first, and if he didn't follow the training, he didn't give the soldiers of the Pingxia camp a supplement according to the recipe of the Zhenguo Army when he ate.

All the clear soup and steamed buns, this simply can't make up for the consumption of a day's training in the summer camp.

Tang Ning once said to the soldiers of the Pingxia Camp that the bone broth and nutritious meals are fixed every day. If anyone loses these benefits, they can settle accounts with him directly, and they don't need to swallow their anger.

And Cao De's side also had the same experience, he sucked the blood of soldiers, and Zhenguojun was obviously rich to the extent of oil.

So he started thinking about deducting food, and as a result, he was almost killed by the angry soldiers.

At the same time, Fang La submitted his resignation to the Privy Council with a vote of the Zhenguo Army General, and the Privy Councillor who replaced Zeng Bu felt that it was Fang La who was playing a temper, so he refused with a sneer, and also reduced their salaries.

This is amazing, it is a complete ignition of the powder keg.

When Tang Ning was there, when did Zhenguo Army be bullied like this? For a month, if you don't have enough food, you can't dress warmly, and even the regular weapons will be rejected for inspection, isn't this forcing yourself to rebel?

So on the day the letter was written, that is, half a month ago, Fang La took a large number of armaments, weapons, grain and grass with 5,000 soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, and escaped from the camp......

Downing felt a headache when he saw this letter, could it be that no matter how much his butterfly flapped its wings, it couldn't cause a storm?

Fang La still embarked on the path of rebellion in the end, but this time, he was more powerful than in the past, because he had gunpowder......

Zhao Ji was shocked when he learned of this, and Cai Jing angrily denounced the Zhenguo army as an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf in the court, and suggested that Zhao Ji send the Shenwu army to eliminate Fang La......

With a deep sigh, Tangning's gaze fell on the urn enshrined in a corner of the study.

Now that things have completely exceeded his expectations, he never thought that Fang La would rebel, and he also overestimated Zhao Ji's IQ and Cai Jing's character.

He thought that if he created such an invincible army for the Great Song Dynasty, he could let them recover Yanyun and dominate the world by themselves, but he was wrong.

When faced with outsiders, they are sheep. But when it comes to dealing with their own people, they become wolves. They greedily squeezed every copper plate they could from the Zhenguo army, and they destroyed this army with their own hands.

And not only that, the Tiangong Academy was abolished, and the funds were used to expand Zhao Ji's Yanfu Palace. Cai Jing teamed up with Yang Jianli to cooperate with the outside world to loot the people in western Beijing and Huaibei.

And that's just the beginning.

In the next ten years, one after another demons and monsters were born. Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others came to a group of demons to dance, and the persecution of the people of the world was unspeakable.

Downing knew all this, but he couldn't do anything. He couldn't get rid of Zhao Xu who appeared in his dream, he still couldn't take care of it, how could he take care of the world?

Besides, the root of all this is not in Cai Jing and the others, but in them, Zhao Ji, who only knows how to have fun.

Do you want to save the people of the world from fire and water? Simple, killing Zhao Ji and setting up a new emperor will be stronger than the current situation, but isn't doing so a rebellion?

And if he really has the ability to kill Zhao Ji, he must be followed by countless people who are looking forward to his yellow robe. Only in this way can they maximize their interests, and what should they do then?

It's not impossible to be an emperor, but ...... Tang Ning closed his eyes, and Zhao Xu's face appeared in his mind.

This world used to be his, if it really came to that day, how would Zhao Xuquan feel if he knew about it? After he dies, how will he face him?

Or forget it...... Downing sighed, leaned the letter to the fire, and watched it burn to ashes.

Then Tang Ning came to the side of the small shrine with a porcelain vase, which was dedicated to Wu Sheng, who Tang Ning insisted on worshipping here.

Regardless of whether Wu Sheng succeeded or not, he died for himself, and without his knowledge and without orders, in order to help himself erase the evidence of the two major crimes.

Tang Ning is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but Wu Sheng has no relatives, he is alone in this world, he is dead, Tang Ning just wants to compensate him, and he has no chance.

So Downing had to rebuild his grandmother's grave and bury his urn with his grandmother. Then he found a precious porcelain vase and put the Wu Shengtou left by Tao Fugui into it and offered it in the study.

Originally, it was just to commemorate him, but it unexpectedly made Tang Ning's psychological condition not so bad.

There was no one to talk about the belly, and Tang Ning would sometimes babble on the porcelain vase representing Wu Sheng all day, like a self-talking neurosis, although the psychological problem was solved, but the brain was abnormal......
