Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

At this moment, it was raining heavily, and Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen were sitting together in Zhefu!

"Father, we have driven away Yue Fei, Wang De and others, when will we drive away Li Gang too? Only when Li Gang is driven away, will the court be truly under our control!" Zhe Yanwen said.

"No hurry! Li Gang's prestige is too high. If we drive him away rashly now, there will be turmoil everywhere! Let's bear with it! In fact, the imperial court is now under our control! No matter what the father says, There will be no objection, no matter what Li Gang says, he will never pass! However, his stay in Hanzhong is always a hidden danger, and I will drive him away sooner or later!" Zhe Keqiu said.

Orihiko nodded.

"Yanwen, how many soldiers have we recruited recently?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"A total of more than 10,000 soldiers have been recruited these days! Many people in Hanzhong are unwilling to join the army, so many men have fled to the mountains! There are also some villages and towns that do not allow our people to enter, so it is difficult to recruit!" Zhe Yanwen said.

"Hmph! You are still not as good as your younger brother! If Yan Zhi was here, he would definitely kill all those who dared to resist! If there are too many people killed, the rest will not dare to resist! We have a large army at hand, we are afraid Are those untouchables resisting?" Zhe Keqiu snorted coldly.

"But, father, should we use other methods to recruit soldiers? Now that the taxes of the whole country are in our hands, we can increase the military salary to recruit soldiers!" Zhe Yanwen said.

"What if no one is willing to join the army at that time?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"This..." Zhe Yanwen was stunned.

"Kill those who should be killed, those who should be closed, within half a year, I want to see you recruit another 100,000 soldiers! Now the world is in chaos, Jurchen and King Kang are all staring at us, even if there are no Jurchen and King Kang, there are still Quduan in the northwest There is an army of 100,000, but Qu Duan is not willing to join us, that is our enemy! Therefore, we must have enough troops! We control such a large territory as Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, can't we afford to support hundreds of thousands of troops? ?” Zhe Keqiu asked.

"Father, I understand!" Zhe Yanwen nodded.

Zhe Keqiu looked at Zhe Yanwen and sighed softly! He felt that his two sons had great personality flaws, Zhe Yanwen was too weak, and Zhe Yanzhi was arrogant, brave and foolhardy! But in general, Orihiko Wen is still better than Orihiko Quality! When he was just a general of one side, he planned to make Orihiko as his successor. Now that he is the "private envoy" and the actual controller of Hanzhong and Sichuan, he is going to let Orihiko be his successor. successor! Therefore, he decided to train this successor well!

"In addition to expelling Li Gang and recruiting soldiers, I'm going to do one more thing!" Zhe Keqiu said again.

"I don't know what it is?" Orihiko asked.

"In Zhuge Liang's list of teachers, there is a saying, 'If you are a good minister and far away from a villain, this is why the Han Dynasty prospered; if you are a good minister and a far away virtuous minister, that is why the Han Dynasty has declined'. Do you understand what this means?" Zhe Ke Seek Tao.

"Of course I understand!" Zhe Yanwen was taken aback for a moment, he was very knowledgeable, how could he not understand the meaning of this sentence? This sentence means that the reason why the Western Han Dynasty prospered was because the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty loved virtuous ministers and distant villains, and the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty declined more and more was because the emperors of all dynasties loved villains and distant virtuous officials!

"Very good, do you know why I said this?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

After thinking for a while, Zhe Yanwen said: "Father, how many villains do you want to arrange for the emperor?"

Zhe Keqiu laughed loudly, and said: "That's right! I want to arrange some villains for the emperor! Those trusted guards of the emperor have left, so let's arrange some trusted eunuchs for him! These eunuchs don't have to be In addition, as long as the emperor is obsessed with sensual dogs and horses! The emperor is only eleven years old now, it is best to teach, if it is a little older, it will be much more difficult to teach!"

Zhe Yanwen also showed a look of excitement on his face, and said: "That's right! If the emperor only knew how to play around when he was young, even if he grew up, he would not have much success, and he would not be able to fight us at all. Sooner or later, the world of Song Dynasty will change. Become our family's world!"

Zhe Keqiu said: "Hurry up and find some people like this!"

Now Zhe Yanwen is going to do this matter, not to mention that.

It rained continuously for several days, and it didn't stop until the first day of the ninth lunar month!

The autumn wind is blowing, and the weather is already a bit cold!

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the morning, Zhao Chen wandered around the palace first, but the palace was too small, so he returned to the Qianqing Palace not long after!

Just when he reached the gate of Qianqing Palace, Zhao Chen was taken aback suddenly!

"Who are you?" Zhao Chen looked at a middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"My minister Lin Bao sees Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man knelt down and said.

Zhao Chen looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and saw that the middle-aged man was a little tall and thin, and his face gave off a very obscene feeling! There was an indescribable "beautiful smile" on his face! In addition, just now his voice was thin and high-pitched! In addition to these, he was also wearing a gray official uniform! Zhao Chen was very familiar with this gray official uniform, it was exactly the clothes of the eunuchs in the Kaifeng Palace back then!

"I haven't seen the eunuch for a long time! Your name is Lin Bao? Why are you here?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it is possible to ask for a discount to let me enter the palace to serve Your Majesty!" Lin Bao said, still kneeling on the ground.

"Oh? Some time ago, a minister said that there was a lack of eunuchs in the Han Palace, and I said no! That day, Master Zhe also said no! Why did Master Zhe send you here again today?" Zhao Chen said.

"This... This is the order of Master Zhe, and the villain does not know!" Lin Bao said.

"Were you a eunuch before? Or have you become an eunuch recently?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The villain has just become a eunuch!" Lin Bao said.

"Are you willing to enter the palace? Or is someone forcing you?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The villain is willing to enter the palace! The villain has long wanted to come to His Majesty's side and take care of His Majesty! Therefore, if you are willing to come, I will immediately agree!" Lin Bao said.

"What did you do before?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The villain was a scholar before." Lin Bao said.

"Scholar? Would a scholar be willing to be an eunuch?" Zhao Chen couldn't believe it.

"The villain is utterly loyal to His Majesty, so he willingly enters the palace!" Lin Bao said.

At this moment, Lin Bao was still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao, and secretly guessed what he wanted! This Lin Bao must have been sent to the palace at a reasonable price, without his consent, it is impossible for any idler to enter the palace! It's just that he sent a eunuch here, why?

"What is your current official position?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The villain is now the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace!" Lin Bao said with a "beautiful smile".

"Very good, come in with me! From today onwards, I will call you Xiao Linzi!" Zhao Chen said.

"Xiao Linzi can't wait for it!" Lin Bao stood up and said excitedly.

Zhao Chen shook his head. Since this person was easily arranged, it might not be easy for him to get rid of him, so let him stay in the palace!

*** ***

Zhao Chen sat down to eat, and Lin Bao respectfully waited on him!

After Zhao Chen finished eating, Lin Bao said, "Your Majesty, the number of maids in this palace is really too small! You are the Lord of the Great Song Dynasty and the Lord of Ten Thousand Chengs. How can such a few court ladies be worthy of your status?"

Zhao Chen said: "What do you need so many court ladies for?"

Lin Bao said with a charming smile: "With palace maids, when His Majesty is tired, they can play music for His Majesty, dance for His Majesty, and play with His Majesty. Isn't that a good thing?"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "No need! A few months ago, I was assassinated with poison by a woman! At that time, the woman entered the palace as a court lady! Hmph, I am afraid of women, it is best not to have one The woman is by my side!"

Lin Baolai obviously had received a good "education" before, knowing that Zhao Chen was once assassinated by a court lady! At the moment, he understood clearly, thinking secretly, thinking "sensuality", "sensuality" is probably very difficult to attract Zhao Chen's heart! Besides, Zhao Chen is only an eleven-year-old boy now, with a young mind, he likes to move and hates to be quiet, so it is impossible for him to be interested in things like "sensuality"!

In the afternoon, Zhao Chen was reading in the Qianqing Palace. Lin Bao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, autumn is coming, and the autumn air is refreshing. It's quite boring for you to be bored in the palace all the time. Why don't you go outside for a walk!"

Zhao Chen said: "I want to go out, but unfortunately, every time I go to the gate of the palace, they will stop me!"

Lin Bao said with a charming smile: "They are worried about your majesty's safety, so they dare not let you go out! But if your majesty has business to do, they dare not stop you!"

Zhao Chen said, "Business? What business?"

At this moment, Zhao Chen was very surprised. This Lin Bao must have been given to him at a discount, but now Lin Bao actually suggested that he leave the palace, which is a bit strange!

Lin Bao said: "If Your Majesty wants to go hunting outside, they dare not stop His Majesty!"

Zhao Chen froze there, then smiled after a while and said, "Hunting? Is this also a business?"

Lin Bao nodded and said: "Of course it's a business! Your Majesty is a young man, and it's time to grow up. If you stay in the palace all the time, you will definitely get sick from boredom! Going out to hunt and relax will also be good for Your Majesty! When the time comes Thousands of soldiers and horses follow His Majesty, and His Majesty does not have to worry about being in danger!"

Zhao Chen didn't understand what Lin Bao meant, so he still shook his head and said, "No need! I'm fine staying in this palace! I've been reading recently, let's read today!"

Lin Baodao: "Your Majesty don't know what book you are reading? If Your Majesty likes some ghosts and legends, I can tell His Majesty about it!"

Zhao Chen was taken aback for another moment. After a while, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Just tell me!"

Now Lin Bao began to talk about it!

His voice was high-pitched and thin, but the legendary stories he told were extremely attractive! Before I knew it, the afternoon had passed!

*** ***

In the middle of the night that day, Zhao Chen was lying on the bed, thinking about his intentions!

This day, Lin Bao's performance was considered "normal", and there was nothing out of the ordinary! He still doesn't understand why Zhe Keqiu sent such a person to the palace!

The night was as cold as water, and after a while, Zhao Chen fell into a deep sleep!

On the second day, before dawn, Zhao Chen had already woken up!

He put on his clothes and was about to go out when he saw Lin Bao standing outside!
