Chapter 181 Like Walking on Thin Ice 11

By the time Zhao She came to change his post, it was already sunset in Xishan, and Zhao Xin was already hungry. Although the food served in the palace is not bad, it is definitely not delicious. It is far from the food at home, so Zhao Xin, who is picky, does not eat in the palace, but would rather endure some hunger and go home.

After laughing and joking with Zhao She, Zhao Xin turned over and hurried home.

When he got home, it was already dark. He asked the servant and learned that his mother had not come back in his grandfather's house. His father first used the meal to approve the government order in the study, but ordered the kitchen to leave food for Zhao Xin.

When I was eating a warm meal, I saw a maid walking in front of me and whispered to myself, "Young master, please go to his study."

"I know." Zhao Xin also ate almost, so he wiped his mouth and put down the bowls and chopsticks, and followed the maid to his father's study.

Zhao Xin's family is not big. At best, it is only the size of a medium family. In addition, Zhao Ju usually does not like human contacts, so it is difficult for outsiders to see that the owner of this family holds a hot internal history position in the court. Zhao's study is not far away, just bypass the courtyard.

Zhao Xin gently pushed the door and went in. Seeing that his father, who was staring at Shu Jian under the oil lamp, did not respond, so he did not dare to disturb him. He just carefully sat down. When Zhao Jian heard the movement, he raised his head and looked at it. When he saw that it was Zhao Xin, he did not make a sound. He just nodded slightly to signal Zhao Xin to sit down, and he continued to look down and concentrate on the books and briefs sent to the Inner History Office.

Zhao Xin did it patiently for a while, and gradually couldn't stand it. He stood up and walked to his father. He picked up a volume of books after reading and read it.

This is a letter sent by the Yangyi County magistrate, saying that the county wants to build a channel to use the water of the Fen River to irrigate the fields, which has been approved by the Sikong Government and handed over to the Internal History Government to allocate money for construction. Normally, the construction of water conservancy insurance is the accusation of Sikong Mansion. Generally, with the permission of Sikong Wang Xu, the Inner History Mansion is just a walk through.

But this time it is unusual. Zhao's thin font wrote at the end of the presentation: Yangyi is more than 500 miles east of Fenshui, and there are many streams flowing through the territory. Why do you give up the near and far to divert water? There is doubt here, stay for delivery, and wait for the discussion.

Zhao Xinjian sighed secretly that his father's upright temper had not changed, and he didn't know how many colleagues he had offended for this. In terms of this matter alone, the county magistrate of Yangyi is small, but the construction of the canal is something that Sikong Wang Xu agreed to do, but his father took "doubt here" as his help to keep it ready to go. If this matter is discussed by the king and the prime minister in the court, where will Wang Xu's old face be put? He must be extremely ashamed and angry and jealous of his father.

While thinking about his origin, Zhao Jian had already put down his pen. Looking at his son's appearance, he guessed what he was thinking and said, "Why, look at your appearance, you seem to be a little disapproving about the treatment of being a father."

"This..." Zhao Xin paused and raised the bamboo roll in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Father, I just think you just hit it back like this. It seems that Wang Situ is a little embarrassed."

Zhao Ya turned around, picked up the tea cup on the table, looked at Zhao Xin and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Xin slightly pondered and said, "I don't think it's better. The Inner History Department has sent a reliable person to Yangyi for on-the-spot investigation. In this way, Wang Situ must be alert. If he is smart enough, he will definitely have a clear relationship with this. If you are not moved, father, you can tell him about this again, instead of putting it in the court to discuss that there is no room for manoeuvre.

Zhao Jian looked at Zhao Xin with a faint smile; "I didn't see that in less than a year, you have learned the ability of being a snake in the officialdom."

Zhao Xin laughed a few times, because he was not sure whether his father was praising him or satirizing him, so he did not dare to answer.

Zhao Jian put down the tea cup and thought for a while before saying to Zhao Xin, "Do you know who the county magistrate of Yangyi is?"

Zhao Xin shook his head puzzledly and said, "I'm not sure. What does it matter?"

Zhao Jian looked up at his son and said calmly, "He is Lou Huan's nephew."

Zhao Xin immediately understood and said in surprise, "Is the king going to..."

Halfway through, he consciously closed his mouth and dared not go on. Zhao Jian had no scruples, but said in a low voice, "It is exactly the twelve officials of all sizes involved in the adjustment this time, and the Yangyi county magistrate is only one of them."

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that you really want such a big move this time? Don't you worry about the master's overreaction?"

Zhao A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and said, "The master won't do it, and he can't do it."

Zhao Xin was stunned and surprised; "Why?"

Zhao Jian did not speak, but wrote down the names and official positions of the twelve people, and handed them to Zhao Xin without saying a word.

"Look, can you see anything?"

Zhao Xin took a closer look for a while and said, "The officials involved this time are all under 500 stones, and there seems to be no important position."

Zhao Jian's face looked like a waterway: "Yes, it's not all right. You can have a look again."

Zhao Xin looked at it for a long time before hesitatingly said, "It seems that they are all people related to money and grain."

Zhao Jian then smiled with relief and nodded; "It is exactly that most of the people I moved this time are under my rule, or petty officials related to money and grain. For example, although this Yangyi is a small city, it is the location of Taicang in the north, and the military food of the land and Jinyang are all from here.

Zhao Xin was stunned for a long time before he said with a stunned face: "Father, you want to control the mobilization of my Zhao Jun through this move, right?"

Zhao nodded and said, "That's good. The master's influence in the army is unmatched. Even if he bypasses the tiger charm, he can easily mobilise the army, especially the elite border troops. However, the three armies have not moved, and the food and fodder go first. If the army marches, it is impossible to allocate food and fodder. According to our Zhao military system, the non-wartime food and fodder allocation is once every five days. In five days, the threat of the land and the north of Jinyang can go.

"And the official equipment transferred this time is less than 500 stones, and there is no need to go through the court discussion, which is equivalent to bypassing the master, and Feiyi can be directly appointed and removed. Most of these people have nothing to do with the master's father, not to mention the master's people, so I'm afraid the master's father will not be aware of it. As for Lou Xie, his nephew was corrupt first, and the evidence was conclusive. Naturally, he did not dare to tell his father about it.

Zhao Xin sighed; "Father, talking about the city, the Lord is really not your opponent. With a light move, he will eliminate most of the threat of the Lord's most dependent army. It's really powerful."

"It's just my father. I don't understand why you said this to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my father?"

Zhao Jian looked at him lightly and said, "Why should I be afraid? You are my son of Zhao Jian, and you are still my son of Zhao Jian. Have you ever seen an old man afraid of his son?"

"I tell you that this is nothing more than knowledge to tell you that the conflict between us is inevitable. This is just a starting point, and no one can predict the future."

After a pause, Zhao Jian looked a little solemn and asked, "Let me ask you, did the master's father deliberately do what he did to blackmail the king and Feiyi for the price of mobilizing the guard? Are you also involved in this matter?

Zhao Xin thought of what Han Sheng said to him, and he understood most of it in his heart. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Father, you look at me too highly. Although I am a close minister next to my father, those veteran soldiers have always been very concerned about my identity. I won't participate in most of the core things, so if you ask me, I can't answer. Come on."

"But according to what I know about my master, with his arrogant nature, I disdain to do such a thing. Otherwise, according to the current situation, he can directly attack Handan and forcibly regain power. Why do he have to give up the near and seek the far and compete with you by these unintrodued means?

When Zhao Jie heard that his son did not participate in it to hide himself, he calmed down and said, "Is that another possibility, is it what Lou Huan did in private, or An Yangjun himself?"

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "I really don't know this. I don't know each other well, and my friendship is just average. If such a big thing is really what they did, the master is hidden in the drum, not to mention my little captain."

Zhao Ju frowned and meditated and said, "Today, after Feiyi returned to the palace, he hurriedly mentioned this matter to the king, and the king invited several of us to the palace to discuss. At that time, I had some suspicions that it was caused by Lou Huan and An Yangjun. Now it is very possible, because they have benefited the most from this matter.

Zhao Xin thought for a moment and felt that his father's speculation was reasonable. No matter whether this matter was successful or not, An Yangjun was the person who benefited the most and the most suspected person. However, of course, this can't be mentioned to the master. The master loves his son deeply. How can he doubt his son? If he talks about it uninterestingly, I'm afraid he will be suspected by the father.

As for Lou Huan, he thought it was unlikely. Although there is not much contact, Lou Huan gives him the feeling that he is the kind of exquisite person. He will never try so hard to fight for the interests of An Yangjun for things that have nothing to do with him. After all, he is now dependent on his master, and An Yangjun is not qualified enough.

Zhao Xin was thinking about being distracted, but he heard his father knocking on the table with his fingers and looking at himself. Then he came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Father, what else do you want to ask?"

PS: The novel has become formal, and ** is almost coming. I'm really sorry for this period of time, because the novels have been procrastinating at home. I guess many old readers have left disappointed. This is indeed my own business. No wonder everyone.

This book, how to put it, I didn't choose the theme at the beginning, so the more I wrote it, the colder it became. I slowly lacked ** and began to drag the manuscript. Now I'm trying to find my feelings, and I hope to get a little support from everyone. I hope to make more helpful suggestions for my creation. For example, a big man said in the book review section that he suspected that Tian Buli was an undercover agent of the State of Qi, which gave me a lot of inspiration, but I didn't expect this at the beginning.
