Peerless Pirates

"Master Song, I have been away from Sichuan for a long time. How can Master Song teach me?" Pang Ying recovered from her sadness and asked about the business of reincarnation.

After Song Zheng pondered for a while, he suddenly asked, "Princess Yun has also reached the age of marriage. I wonder if I can marry someone else?"

Pang Ying was stunned, wondering why Song Zheng was talking about Pang Yun, and immediately shook her head, "The Queen Mother has also been making plans to choose a son-in-law in the past few months, but it has not been decided yet."

"I wonder what the holy will is?"

"This...I haven't thought about it. The queen mother should make the decision when the princess gets married." Although Pang Ying loved this sister who was only a few months younger than herself, she really didn't think anything about her marriage.

"Your Majesty, you should treat this matter with caution." Song Zheng said slowly, "When it comes to royal marriages, maintaining the stability of the royal family is always the first priority. And we, Da Qi, only have such a princess now, and we cannot take it lightly. Your Majesty is available to you. There are not too many people, and there are even fewer caring people. Through the princess's marriage, we should be able to win over loyal people."

Perhaps she felt that what Song Zheng said was too explicit, so Pang Ying frowned and said, "Yun'er must find someone who is agreeable."

Song Zheng sighed, "Does the person chosen by the Queen Mother have to be satisfactory? If the Queen Mother is deceived, it may ruin Princess Yun's happiness."

Pang Ying was silent. Pang Yun was not the daughter of the Queen Mother, but one of Gaozong's concubines, and the Queen Mother was not close to Pang Yun. If the Queen Mother was to choose, it would be more appropriate to let herself intervene. Maybe she could really choose one for her sister. A good son-in-law.

"Does Master Song have any good ideas?" Pang Ying asked after hesitating for a while.

"Commander Han Kuihan, what do you think?"

Pang Ying slapped her head and said, "Why didn't I think of Han Qing's family? The Han Qing family is really good, and they are a good match for Yun'er. Master Song's plan is brilliant!"

Song Zheng is not a random couple. He has a good relationship with Han Kui, but Han Kui is so scheming that even Song Zheng has difficulty grasping his thoughts. But Han Kui is the commander of the Forbidden Army. If he becomes a horse again, he can be with him. The little emperor is closely connected. If something big happens in Jiangning City, then Han Kui will definitely become a person worthy of the emperor's trust. Moreover, Han Kui himself has a special status. As a descendant of the commander Han Zhong, his reputation is not lost. And Han Kui is The city guards now control Yang Zhen's nephew. In this way, the young emperor can contain or even control the Jiangning city defense, so that his foundation is not too weak.

The reason why Song Zheng made this proposal was because he was worried about the Duke's Palace. In the past two years, there have been more and more doubts about Pang Tong. If the Duke's Palace only wanted to fight against the Prime Minister's Palace and the Prince's Palace, then it would be It's easy to say, but I'm afraid that the Duke's government has evil intentions, especially regarding opium. Emperor Gaozong died because of opium, and Huang Yue's mother also died because of opium. Pang Tong's intentions are really suspicious. Of course, if Song Zheng asked Pang Hui and Huang Song, he would However, Song Zheng could not explain the dangers of opium to Pang Hui, because he himself was using opium smoke to deal with Pang Hui, and it was impossible to ask Huang Song.

Speaking of what Song Zheng was most worried about after leaving Jiangning, that was the safety of the little emperor. But Song Zheng was not so worried about his family. The one who was most involved in various conflicts in the Song family was himself. His father Song Jue He wears the title of a great Confucian, but does not get involved in any political affairs, so he is not in the eyes of those in power. If he leaves the Song Mansion, the Song Mansion will be much safer.

"Don't worry, Master Song. I will persuade the Queen Mother to facilitate the marriage between Yun'er and Han Kui. Of course, you have to ask the Han Qing family for this."

Song Zheng nodded and hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, I have heard that all royal palaces in the past dynasties have built secret passages leading to the outside of the palace. I wonder if this is possible?"

Pang Ying's eyes flashed and she said in disbelief, "Master Song, isn't it?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. The body of a saint with tens of thousands of chariots cannot be careless in the slightest. It is always good to have an extra escape route at any time."

"Well, I will take this matter to heart."

Seeing that the little emperor was a little careless, Song Zheng said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you must prepare for the worst in everything. Don't forget what happened to the First Emperor Zhao Ji in the past!"

Pang Ying fiercely clenched her fist, anger welled up, and she looked straight at Song Zheng. Song Zheng was not afraid and looked directly at Pang Ying. After a moment, Pang Ying took a deep breath and said, "Don't forget the past, the teacher of future generations. Master Song , I took it to heart. What Master Song just said was all for my sake, and I feel very relieved. If you don’t know about state affairs, how can you teach me?"

"Although the prime minister is very scheming, he is indeed a good hand in running the country. I will rely on him more in the future."

Pang Ying looked Song Zheng up and down and sighed, "He was murdered by him but instead spoke for him. Master Song's loyalty to the Qi Kingdom can be read by all the people in the world of Xuanwu."

Song Zheng thought to himself, only a devil is willing to speak for Huang Yuandu. Who makes Huang Yuandu's position too stable, and it is an opportunity for Daqi generals to use troops externally. If the little emperor becomes angry with Huang Yuandu because of himself and affects the state affairs, I am afraid there will be chaos and give Pang Tong the opportunity. An opportunity to take advantage of.

"What does Master Song think of this dispatch of troops to Guanzhong?" Pang Ying asked in turn. Now, the most important thing for Da Qi is to expand its territory, and the little emperor has great expectations for this.

"Your Majesty, this is difficult for a humble minister." Song Zheng said with a bitter smile, "On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and everything can change. I think the prince and the generals are all veterans in the army, and they can think of strategies to conquer. As for your Majesty, you need to Focus on logistical supplies. When the war begins, Your Majesty can summon the remaining military generals to discuss the war, and I think there will be gains."

"Yes, I have only read a few military books, but I have never faced an enemy. I have a lot to learn. Master Song, don't worry, I won't reach out randomly." Pang Ying is self-aware.

After finishing the explanation, Pang Ying arranged for the money cabinet to be filled and sent Song Zheng out of the palace. The two walked side by side, walking very slowly.

When he walked to a deserted place, he stopped with a cabinet full of money, looked at Song Zheng's face and said, "Xiao Lang, I don't know if we can see each other again now that you are gone. As fellow villagers, our family still wants to see you alive. Without you. , our family also lost some fun.”

"Brother Qian, don't worry, I won't let you down." Song Zheng said calmly, "If something really happens to Song, Brother Qian will have one less helping hand in revenge, right?"

Qian Mancai snorted softly, "You think highly of yourself, haven't you heard of 'if butcher Zhang dies, don't eat pigs with hair on them'?"

"Oh, Brother Qian is very confident now, isn't he?" Song Zheng looked at the cabinet full of money with interest.

The money-filled cabinet was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said calmly, "My hatred is your hatred. Now that you've just patted your ass and left, our family has to work hard, right?"

"Then Song is looking forward to the good news from Brother Qian. I hope that when Song comes back, Brother Qian will be done."

"I hope. If you can come back safely, you will be more sure of revenge. I hope you know what is good." After that, the cupboard was filled with money and he moved forward.

Song Zheng smiled softly, "Brother Qian, please wait and see."

Song Zheng and Qian Mancai worked closely together at first. However, as the little emperor grew up, Qian Mancai became more and more profound and authoritative, and sometimes showed a hint of hostility towards Song Zheng.

The two had a feud, and Song Zheng was not surprised by this at all. What really alarmed Song Zheng was another thing: Mu Yu sent back the news on Shandong Road that the official Shuiding was supposed to deal with was not the governor of Shanzhou. Instead, Zhou Wenzong was already the governor of Mizhou.

Zhou Wenzong was originally the county magistrate of Ju County, and he tried the Songjiazhuang case. A year ago, after Hu Tongxue, the former magistrate of Mizhou, passed away due to illness, Zhou Wenzong was promoted to magistrate. When Zhou Wenzong was the county magistrate, he sent people every year When he went to Songjiazhuang to greet the Wu family, Song Jue also corresponded with Zhou Wenzong several times.

Although Zhou Wenzong is also greedy, he is by no means the greediest among the states in Shandong Province. It makes no sense for Shui Ding to deal with him. So, there is only one explanation, and that is that Shui Ding was entrusted by others to take down Zhou Wenzong.

The person who can hire Shuiding is most likely Qian Mancai. Lu Junqing and Huang Song set up the trap so beautifully that Zhou Wenzong couldn't tell, so they arrested the Qian family and imprisoned them. Qian Mancai hated Lu and Huang Er He is a true man, but he also holds a grudge against Zhou Wenzong. He and Shuiding are both confidants of the young emperor and have a good relationship, so it would be logical to ask Shuiding to take the opportunity to take down Zhou Wenzong. If this matter was not done by Mu Yu and others If we don't help, maybe Zhou Wenzong will really be imprisoned, and it will not be Shanzhou's turn to be the governor.

Therefore, Song Zheng was wary of Qian Mancai. With his unyielding character, Song Zheng did not expect Qian Mancai to spare him in the end. It was just that he had won the trust of the little emperor, so Qian Mancai had no chance.

However, there was something strange about the money-filled cabinet today. He not only gloated over Song Zheng's misfortune, but also seemed to be confident in revenge. This made Song Zheng feel a little uneasy: Where did this eunuch get such confidence? Is he really confident about dealing with Lu Junqing? And Huang Song?

Song Zheng's day to go to Shu was set for July 13th. There was not much time left for him. He had to make plans in just a few days. What made Song Zheng most gratified was that after he took control of himself After the materials were submitted to the palace in writing, Pang Hui's informant in the Song Dynasty also showed up. It was one of the guards who replaced the poisonous salt at Dayuan Wharf that day, named Zhang Chong.

After learning about Song Zheng's plan that day, Zhang Chong passed it on to Fu Hai in the palace. Pang Hui then calmly made arrangements and took the opportunity to get rid of the supervisor He Kuan and poisoned many people.

After Song Zheng sighed, he did not publicize the matter or embarrass Zhang Chong. Instead, he gave him fifty taels of silver and asked him to leave. However, a few days later, Zhang Chong came back. It turned out that he went home to settle down well. When he was young, he came back and asked to follow Song Zheng into Shu to repay Song Zheng's kindness.

Going to Shu, the future was very difficult, and Song Zheng did not want to waste his life. However, Zhang Chongqi was very determined and immediately said that if Song Zheng did not agree, he would kill himself to atone for his sin. After repeated persuasion, Song Zheng fell. Accepted him. After what happened, Zhang Chong must be able to treat himself wholeheartedly.

Before Song Zheng left, the marriage between Han Kui and Pang Yun was also on the horizon. I don’t know how the little emperor persuaded Huang Jiao. After Huang Jiao met with Han Kui, Huang Jiao agreed to the marriage and only waited until next year to get married.

From some unknown source, Han Kui learned that Song Zheng was responsible for this incident, and he was extremely grateful to Song Zheng. When the commander-in-chief Han Zhong was imprisoned, the Han government collapsed. Han Kui had to stay in Yang Zhen's house, and because Yang Zhen was hostile to the palace. Qu Cong left the Yang Mansion angrily and joined the Prime Minister's family. He finally got the qualifications to take the martial arts exam and then became an official. Only he knew the sadness of his humiliation and compromise.

God is wise, Han Kui finally became the commander of the Forbidden Army, and now he has become a subordinate. He is very happy to regain the prestige of the Han Dynasty. However, Han Kui also revealed his wish to Song Zheng, then It means going to the battlefield to gain fame. Han Kui is unwilling to cling to him through nepotism.

Song Zheng tried every possible means to persuade him. Just kidding, there were not many people he could trust around the little emperor. If Han Kui went to the front line, the little emperor would lose some protection. How could that work?

After some analysis, Han Kui finally calmed down, and Song Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. For the safety of the little emperor, he prepared another plan, and Han Kui was an important part of this plan.
