The official family and the emperor agreed.

Liu Xing saw that Zhang Suo and Zong Ze were so entangled in a strategy that could easily change the entire pattern of the world and consolidate the fruits of victory with advanced weapons and military systems, and realized that the two of them should not be just for the public, so he immediately brought out the puppet Zhao Zhen.

This matter was indeed agreed by Zhao Zhen, and at the Dongxia Pass, Zhao Zhen had already seen the framework strategy that Liu Xing had only drafted at that time.

But after going deeper, Liu Xing knew very well that this would involve many fundamental interests of people such as Zong Ze, Zhang Suo, etc., which made them entangled here endlessly.

This fundamental interest lies in who has in his hands how much military power he can hold in the future, and how much practical power he can control in the future.

In such a troubled era, in such a grass-roots new court. Military power is the first thing, and it is the one that can ensure how much voice everyone has.

At this point, Zhang Suo and Zong Ze are very clear that the reason why Liu Xing immediately made the two become Taishi and Taibao as soon as they helped King Xin, and became the prime minister of the dynasty who was on an equal footing with Liu Xing. The biggest fundamental, in fact, is also in military power.

But now that Liu Xing has come up with such a set of strategies for the whole army, the two of them will definitely think of a question in their hearts, that is, whether Liu Xing is ready to play a trick of cooking rabbits and dead dogs. After using the two of them to help him lay down Hedong and calm half of the country's hearts, he was going to drive the two out of their current positions.

In fact, their thoughts had already been thought of by Liu Xing before he convened this meeting of the Heavenly Council.

So after moving out Zhao Zhen pressed the two of them first, without waiting for the two to speak, he immediately said: "The official family also said." The cabinet system is the best nowadays. He hoped that during the time when he returned to Bianjing, the imperial concubine, and me, the first assistant to the country. The first and second assistants of our three cabinets should cooperate more tacitly. ”

Know what you think and prescribe the right medicine. This is an inherent practice that Liu Xing has developed over the years as a doctor.

In Liu Xing's heart, there is no one who cannot be broken. No matter how awe-inspiring the man looks, even though the man seems to be invulnerable. But as long as he is a human being, there is something selfish in his heart. That selfishness is the key point that Liu Xing wants to focus on and attack everyone.

Liu Xing said this, and sure enough, Zong Ze and Zhang Suo's faces changed slightly, and after glancing at each other, Zong Ze said: "Since Shoufu said so, it is naturally difficult for the two of us to object. It's just that listening to what you said, the official family is no longer in Wutai City now? ”

Zong Ze's words directly proved that Liu Xing's guess about the two was not wrong. Two of them old guys. I was afraid that the master would stage them a scene of rabbits and dead dogs, and after they helped me pacify half of the country, they unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.

Selfishness, selfishness, the biggest demon in the depths of everyone's heart! This demon master has it, and even the old marshal Zong Ze, who is known as the most loyal and brave in the world, also has it. It seems that if you want to really stabilize this good situation in the future, you must first know where the biggest point of selfishness in everyone's heart is......

Thinking so in his heart, Liu Xing nodded slightly, and said to Zong Ze: "Since the order of Bianjing City has been restored, Your Majesty can't stay in the palace of Wutai City all the time!" Therefore, last night, the official family urgently recruited me to the palace and asked to return to Bianjing first. As a courtier, I have no right to object, so I can only condemn Zeng Weijie and Chong Yanling to escort the official family back to Bianjing. ”

Actually, the truth of the matter. It's not what Liu Xing said at all.

What is the real situation? It was Zhao Zhen who found out that he was imprisoned, every morning, noon, and night. When there's nothing to do, go crazy and make trouble.

First of all, in the courtyard of the surrounding building of the palace, he unscrupulously molested the young and unmarried female guard, shouting that he wanted the girl to be his concubine and go to the house of the indecent person.

Then he smashed things, set fire to the utility room of the palace, and finally even more outrageously kissed Yang Ling'er in public. was so angry that Yanling didn't care about any dignity, and directly stepped forward to seal his meridians and threw him back to where he should have stayed......

What Zhao Zhen wants to do, Liu Xing knows.

He just wanted to use those endless troubles to arouse the dissatisfaction of the female guards, and then take advantage of the fact that the female guards did not dare to take close care of him to find an opportunity to contact Zhang Suo, Zong Ze and others.

In Zhao Zhen's little head, an idea has actually been formed: since Liu Xing has done what he is doing today, if he wants to protect himself and save himself, he can only find someone who can restrain Liu Xing. And the best candidates are Zong Ze and Zhang Suo.

Because these two old commanders are both known as loyal and brave people, both of whom are known as loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, and they are actually exactly the same die-hard people in the coma as the nominal Privy Council fellow intellectuals.

Only such a die-hard person will really stand up against Liu Xing at all costs for a puppet emperor.

Zhao Zhen thought of it, how could Liu Xing not think of it.

Liu Xing didn't want to be Dong Zhuo yet, and was blocked by the princes of the Eighteenth Road to fight in this Wutai City. Therefore, he wanted to directly hook up with Zong Ze and Zhang Suo, but Liu Xing didn't give him a chance to succeed.

So just last night, Liu Xing ordered Zeng Weijie and Chong Yanling to rush into Zhao Zhen's room regardless of the three or seven twenty-one and "invited" him to Luan. said that it was an escort, but in fact, Zhao Zhen was escorted to Bianjing City.

Liu Ziyu had already left and went to Jingnan Road to confront Zhang Jun. Wu Lan also led his troops to Liangzhou, ready to attack Jingdong at any time.

So now Yang Yizhong is in charge in Bianjing City, Liu Xing believes that Zhao Zhen actually dares to tease Yang Yizhong's sister, with Yang Yizhong's temperament and love for his sister, as soon as he receives his secret order, he will inevitably see the puppet emperor as even more unable to get in touch with any outsiders.

Of course, relying on Yang Yizhong and Liu Xing alone will not rest assured. Let Zhao Zhen get out of the way first and return to Bianjing, Liu Xing has a greater guarantee, that is, Liang Xing also sent out a hundred Tiance wrestlers to mix in Zeng Weijie's escort forbidden army.

There is Zeng Weijie's forbidden army inside, a thousand female guards who have just completed the expansion of Yanling in the middle, and Yang Yizhong's army on the outside.

Liu Xing firmly believed that after Zhao Zhen arrived in Bianjing, he would only be left in despair, because he would no longer have the slightest chance to get in touch with the outside world through these three impermeable walls......

Liu Xing's seclusion and prevention of Zhao Zhen's chance to have any contact with the outside world are actually very clear to Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and even Wu Jue.

But after hearing that Zhao Zhen had returned to Bianjing, Zong Ze still hesitated, stared at Liu Xing and said, "Taifu asked His Majesty to return to the court, why don't you discuss it with us?" Isn't it completely inconsistent with your decision to head the Cabinet and the new law of the Privy Council on the day of the royal family? ”

I had expected Zong Ze to have such thoughts, but Liu Xing made a helpless expression, spread his hands to him and said, "The official family is the emperor, and I am just a courtier." He wants to return to Bianjing first, without consulting with the courtiers, and if he doesn't come to listen to you and me, does Zong Shuai think that I really dare to risk the world's condemnation and insist on stopping it. ”

Scoundrel, when Liu Xing made this move, he disdainfully pretended to have such an idea about himself.

But just a short moment later, Liu Xing's heart quickly calmed down, and secretly thought: To deal with these old fritters, don't try to follow my established ideas and firmly control the situation in the hands of the master. Well, the master can only be a scoundrel, a scoundrel political hooligan......

Zong Ze naturally couldn't know that Liu Xing was slandering himself in his belly, and seeing Liu Xing's helpless demeanor, he sighed lightly in disbelief instead.

Zhang Suo's eyes flashed suddenly at this time, and he said: "Forget it, the official family wants to return to Bianjing, and you and I can't stop it." Mrs. Liu, let's continue to talk about this military strategy. Tell me, apart from giving them land and preserving them to their old age, do you have any more ways to make those soldiers who have been laid off willingly leave the army? ”

The land was given and the pension was managed, but it may not really be able to make many soldiers who are accustomed to eating military rations and do not know how to farm themselves voluntarily leave the army.

After hearing such a question raised by Zhang, Liu Xing smiled indifferently again: "Those who can't farm and don't want to farm can let them be post guards." I want to strengthen the Communication Division, and I want my Great Song Dynasty to truly achieve a universal communication that even the Tang Dynasty has not been able to do. Therefore, many people are needed to supplement the post stations in various places, and naturally there are many post guards. ”

The words stopped slightly, and without waiting for Zhang to speak, Liu Xing continued: "Of course, the post guard is just a choice for those who have withdrawn from the army. Those people can also choose to work as official and commercial supervisors, transit supervisors, warehouse clerks, or river workers. Although they are all low-rank or even low-rank jobs, I believe that it is better for them to engage in peace of mind than their daily knife licking blood! ”

"Officials and business supervisors, transfer supervisors, what are these things?" Before Liu Xing's words fell, Zong Ze immediately opened his mouth and asked with a suspicious face.

Seeing him ask, Liu Xing smiled lightly and turned his head to sit on the side, who had been sitting there as a foil, and were recruited together by Zhao Ding, the secretary of the household department, and Ouyang Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

After the two saw Liu Xing's gaze, Zhao Ding immediately spoke first: "Among the decrees that Mrs. Liu asked the officials, one of the many new laws is to replace taxes with business, and the new system of official supervision and business management. According to this new system, salt, iron, grain, tea, wine, vinegar, and other minerals will all be listed as matters that can only be operated by the government, supervised and commercial, and can only be operated by concessions. ”

Zhao Ding paused slightly, and after seeing that Zhang Suo and Zong Ze had no intention of interrupting, he continued: "In these matters of monopoly, official supervision, and commercial operation, there will be a need for many trustworthy and experienced people to serve as supervisors for the household department and the Yi Yamen in various cities, supervising and inspecting the small officials of the merchants. ”

Stopping again, Zhao Ding took out a few documents from his sleeve, handed them to Zong Ze and Zhang Suo, and continued: "Although there is no rank or low rank, in the new system of the official family's grace and quasi-Taifu, the annual salary of the supervisor of the ninth grade in a county town can be comparable to that of a seventh-grade county now. And it will also make profits according to the local market, and give those people some 'official bonus dividends' at the end of the year. (To be continued......)
