Chapter 275 Incident
Some people also use Hai Wenyou’s ancestral home to make excuses.
Hai Wenyou’s ancestral home is from Jiangning Mansion. Some people say that he is retaliating.
In fact, Hai Wenyou went to Jiangnan to inspect the fields and chose Jiangning Mansion as his first stop because the Hai family was a wealthy family in Jiangning Mansion.
With the help of the clan, he can quickly figure out the situation, and he can also let the clan take the lead and set an example, allowing him to quickly open up the situation.
Jiangning Mansion has a special status in the south of the Yangtze River. In history, most of the forces that divided the south used Jinling as their capital.
If he could quickly complete the land inventory in Jiangning Prefecture and the acres in other places, it would be much smoother.
His idea was good, but it became an excuse for others to criticize him.
After Zhao Xing knew this, he asked someone to retrieve Hu Zhongyan's files and found that the secret guards had not collected much information about Hu Zhongyan over the years, and there was almost nothing that could be used as a handle.
The reason why I say almost is because it is impossible for the Hu family to have no clues, but it is not a big deal. This small problem is not enough to move Hu Zhongyan.
He asked people to impeach Hu Zhongyan, but he had no intention of concealing the information. The main purpose was to frighten the enemy.
As a result, Hu Zhongyan had no reaction at all in the past few days.
Zhao Xing also had a headache when meeting such a person who couldn't find a handle and was still very calm.
"Since you can't get a handle, why are you asking people to impeach you? Don't you understand the principle of planning and then acting?" the official said angrily.
"My son and ministers also understand what the father said, but because of Hu Zhongze, officials in the south of the Yangtze River have become bolder, and the progress of counting the land is very slow. If nothing is done, I am afraid that It’s even harder to proceed,” Zhao Xing said helplessly.
Jiangnan officials were too involved with those merchants. Those merchants themselves were landlords and held a large amount of land in their hands. Naturally, there was also a situation of hiding the land.
Although Hu Zhongze was dismissed, nothing happened to him. In addition, Bianjing has been impeaching Hai Wenyou, and other officials in Jiangnan are becoming more and more bold.
This is also the reason why Haiwenyou’s progress in Jiangnan is slow.
I didn’t even come back for the New Year.
The official fell silent after hearing this, and said for a long time: "It won't have much effect if you do this."
"It will have some effect." Zhao Xing also knew that it would not have much effect, and did not hide his plan. He said, "But I have sent people to Jinling. Hu Zhongyan can't find anything to do with it. I don't believe Hu." I can’t find it at Zhongze.”
The official’s face softened when he heard this, and he said, “Since you have considered it, just...ahem...”
“Father, Are you okay?"
Zhao Xing quickly came to his father's side and held his back.
"I'm fine!" Guan Jia coughed for a while and felt better. He waved his hand and said, "I just felt cold a few days ago and I haven't recovered yet."
"Father, when did this happen? Why didn't I know about it?"
Zhao Xing saw that his father's face had turned pale, and he felt very worried.
Calculating time, if everything develops as before, my father should have passed away by now.
Although his father had suffered the pain of losing a son once because of him, the previous bereavements had been a heavy blow to his father.
Coupled with the fact that my father was tired all the year round, his health was not very good.
Zhao Xing was not sure how long his father could last.
"It's not a big deal, why do you need to make it known to everyone?" The official shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Since you have considerations, you can figure out the rest of the matter yourself. ”
The Guan family can feel that his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and now he no longer wants to care about what Zhao Xing does.
Wait until Zhao Xing makes a mistake and then tell him where he went wrong. Only in this way can Zhao Xing grow up as quickly as possible.
This is because he knew that Zhao Xing’s liaison was impeaching Hu Zhongyan, but he didn’t ask any more questions. Later, Zhao Xing was called over to explain the reason.
Zhao Xing didn't know what his father was thinking. Seeing that his father's face gradually became rosier, he felt relieved. After chatting with him for a while, he resigned and left.
…………
“Your Highness, Mr. Sheng Weisheng is here.”
As soon as Zhao Xing got off the carriage, Liu Sanshi came to greet him.
"Let him go to the study to meet the orphan." Zhao Xing said.
Before going to court, Zhao Xing ordered people to find Sheng Wei after dawn.
Zhao Xing came to the study and waited for a while before Sheng Wei came.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness!" Sheng Wei saluted.
"No courtesy, sit down and talk." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sheng Wei thanked him and sat down, waiting for Zhao Xing's instructions.
"I want you to go to the northwest." Zhao Xing told Sheng Wei his purpose.
Trading with the Qiang and Tubo tribes in the Hehuang land is still something controlled by the court, such as salt and iron, so a trustworthy person must be sent there.
After hearing this, Sheng Wei pondered and said: "Your Highness, the repairs to the northern border city have not been completed yet. If I go to the northwest, who should take over the repair of the city?"
"This matter is not urgent. "We will have to repair the city after spring plowing, there are still a few months to go," Zhao Xing said.
The Great Wall will most likely have to be built on the northern border. This project is too big and the imperial court will definitely be responsible for it.
The matter of repairing the city was done by the way.
But it’s not convenient to tell Sheng Wei about this.
"Yes, I'll leave as soon as I'm ready." Sheng Wei responded.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded and said, "After you go, follow Wang Shao's arrangements. Zhong Huai is also in the northwest, and he will arrange people to protect you."
"I understand that if His Highness has no other instructions, I will leave first," Sheng Wei said. "There's no rush." Zhao Xing said, "Sanshui, take Mr. Sheng to Shulan Pavilion to meet Concubine Sheng Zheng."
Now Sheng Wei holds the official position of a sixth-grade doctor from the Ministry of Industry, so Zhao Xing calls him Doctor Sheng.
After Shulan gave birth to her daughter, Zhao Xing specially sent someone to the Sheng family to invite the Sheng family to come and take a look.
However, only the female relatives came to the Sheng family, and the men like Sheng Wei did not come.
After all, if a woman is in confinement, even her father and brothers are not allowed to enter the house.
Not to mention Shulan is still the crown prince’s concubine.
However, Sheng Wei was going to the northwest now and would not be able to come back within a few months, so Zhao Xing specifically allowed him to see his daughter and granddaughter.
“Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!” Sheng Wei said with excitement.
After Shulan entered the East Palace, she went back once during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year. Later she became pregnant and never went back.
Sheng Wei has two sons and two daughters. The second son took his wife to work in the northwest, and the younger daughter married the eldest son of his sister's family last year.
Now I only have one son by my side, and I am still very busy every day.
He has not seen his eldest daughter for more than a year, so naturally he misses her very much.
After Sheng Wei left, Zhao Xing thought about the current situation.
Information came back from Xixia years ago that the little emperor of Xixia was indeed very capable.
After taking power for more than half a year, he has completed the internal sorting and completely controlled the situation in Xixia.
Nowadays, Han officials are re-employed, and there are faint signs of mobilizing troops against Tibet on the plateau.
If Wang Shao's plan succeeds, there is a high chance that he can provoke the Tubo and Qiang people in Hehuang to go to war.
Then the Song Dynasty will be able to reap the benefits.
As long as the Song Dynasty can occupy Hehuang, facing Xixia, the Song Dynasty can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and Xixia has nothing to worry about.
As for the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Chongyuan is still staying in Xijing, and he doesn’t know when he will take action.
However, Zhao Xing felt that it would be soon. Yelu Zhongyuan was not stupid. He had stayed in Xijing and the Emperor of Liao should be suspicious.
If Yelu Chongyuan can succeed, the Liao Kingdom can be in chaos for a few years, and the Song Dynasty will have enough time to complete the construction of the Great Wall in the north.
The situation will completely improve by then.
But it’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to God to make things happen.
How things will develop is difficult for Zhao Xing to predict.
…………
Half a month has passed since the impeachment of Hu Zhongyan.
On this day, Zhao Xing was teasing his daughter.
The little guy is almost one month old now, and his little face has grown. It is not as wrinkled as when he was just born, and his little face is very cute and plump.
Zhao Xing named him Zhao Jing.
The word Jing is the name, which means tranquility, virtuousness, orchid-hearted nature, gentleness and subtlety.
Zhao Xing still hopes that his daughter can be as virtuous and quiet as her mother.
At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly walked in and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the palace sent someone to say that Your Majesty summoned His Highness to enter the palace immediately!"
"Did you say anything? Something?" Zhao Xing frowned.
Generally, when his father calls him, he will hardly tell him to come over immediately.
This is the first time I have been so eager.
"The chamberlain who came from the palace didn't say anything. He only said that His Highness should enter the palace immediately!" the palace maid said.
Zhao Xing's heart sank and he said, "Go and notify Sanshui and ask him to notify someone to prepare a car!"
"Yes!" the palace maid responded and hurried away.
"Your Highness, business is important. Please give Sister Jing to my concubine." Shulan said.
"Yeah!"
Zhao Xing handed the daughter in his arms to Shulan. The little girl was awake at this time. Unlike when Zhao Xing cried when she was just born, she really liked being held by Zhao Xing. Happy to hold.
The little girl was still a little confused when there was a sudden change of people, and then she started crying.
Zhao Xing listened to the crying coming from behind, but was in no mood to pay attention and hurried away.
After meeting the chamberlain who came from the palace, Zhao Xing asked: "But what happened in the palace?"
"Today, an urgent report of eight hundred miles was sent from the north. The official was overjoyed after reading it, and suddenly passed out for some reason." Facing Zhao Xing, the servant naturally did not dare to hide anything.
"What?" Zhao Xing was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "What did the imperial doctor say? Did the emperor wake up?"
"Back to Your Highness, it was the Queen who sent a slave to invite Your Highness. The servants who enter the palace don't know whether His Majesty is awake," the chamberlain said.
After hearing this, Zhao Xing turned around and ran out.
"Let someone lead the horse!" Zhao Xing roared.
