Chapter 38 Monster
On the streets of Kaifeng, Zhao Kuangyin stepped back from his servants and drove with Zhao Pu and walked in a light car. He found a stall on the street and sat on the street and started eating. Zhao Kuangyin ordered a bowl of wontons made of chicken, while Zhao Pu only ordered a bowl of noodles.
"The official family has won the world, and people are not at ease. You are always so slight and don't bring followers. What if there is an unexpected change, will you regret it?"
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand indifferently and said, "What can happen if I come out to eat a bowl of wontons? The emperor's rise has its own destiny. If I really go out for a walk, I will kill me by accident. That means I have no life. Then, I will be safe if I don't come out? Eat noodles, and the things will be cold in a while."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu smiled bitterly, and stopped persuading him, and honestly ate noodles with chopsticks.
"It's always boring to stay in the palace, so it's better to come out for some breath. Look at the business of this shop, as before, there is no worry on the people's face, just like when I was not an emperor. Doesn't this mean that people's hearts will be favored? For this, our dynasty will probably be a little longer. Besides, if we say something, we don't have to worry about the eyes and ears around us."
"The official family is kind and loving to the people, and the hearts of returning from all over the world will be long and lasting for thousands of years."
Zhao Kuangyin, however, ate wontons and said disdainfully: "Just nonsense, there is no dynasty in this world that can be passed on for a stable period of a hundred years without chaos. I am already satisfied with the Han and Tang Dynasties."
After thinking about it, he said proudly: "Fortunately, my two younger brothers are still good at it. I heard that the second brother has done a good job recently and is very diligent. It seems that he may be the leader of success in the future, let alone the third brother. After these few times, people in the market say that he is a wise king. Hahaha, even the Mao has not grown all the hair, and he is a wise king. In the future, they can also defend the world."
When Zhao Pu heard this, he said calmly: "The third young master... is indeed smart. Sometimes I even feel that he seems to be too smart."
"I'm too smart? How do you explain this?"
"The official has mentioned to him what we have planned recently?"
"Um?"
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned when he heard this, and his hands were eating wontons stopped and he stared at Zhao Pu.
"Why do you ask this? Only heaven and earth know, you know me, and I know, although the third brother is smart, this is a major event of life and death. At this age, how can he participate in it?"
"Have you really never said it? Then... maybe he guessed it himself, so I said, is he too smart?"
"What did he tell you?"
"He said that our Privy Council is planning major events recently and he is unwilling to participate."
Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and then hesitated: "The big thing he is referring to... is the transfer of the Guards."
"If it's just like that, why don't you want to participate? I think the third young master is very sharp and eager to do things to prove himself. If he is just a guard guard, he shouldn't take the initiative to participate. Can't he even stop him?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still anymore and his expression became more and more serious: "Our plan... is really so obvious? Even a baby guessed?"
The plan to release military power with a glass of wine actually divided into many steps, and there are many conspiracies in it.
The first step, which is what he is currently doing, is to transfer a large number of senior generals from the Palace Front Division to the Guard Division, and then transfer a large number of senior generals from the Palace Front Division to the Palace Front Division.
For example, Shi Shouxin from the former Palace Department went to the Deputy Commander of the Guards Department, and Gao Huaide was transferred from the Office of the Guards Department to the Deputy Supervision Office of the Palace Department.
It seems that all the brothers who put him in the yellow robe were promoted to one level, and normal people would think that he was strengthening the control of the military power of the Guards.
Because Zhao Kuangyin himself was born in the Palace Front Office, the Guards were the territory of Li Chongjin in the past, and the relationship between the Palace Front Office and the Guards was not very good, so he changed his trusted brothers on a large scale, at least on the surface, he was only targeting the Guards.
However, only Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu knew that he did this to separate his sworn brothers from his old subordinates. After all, it would take at least several months for the new official to take office just to get familiar with the work. In the short term, they may not even recognize the new subordinates.
Any slightly larger company, the director-level collective rotation will be a terrible thing if it doesn’t happen, let alone a huge imperial guard.
Once this first step is successful, his second step is to disrupt the middle and lower imperial guard system in the name of eliminating the weak, and completely break the original imperial guard command system before their transfer.
In this way, even if these people return to their original troops, they may not be able to find their own people and cannot be able to do it easily.
In this way, his centralized plan can continue to move forward to the third and fourth steps until he finally realizes the release of military power with a glass of wine, and quietly deposed all the senior generals in the imperial guards, and prevent the country from turmoil.
But all this must be based on the premise that this is a conspiracy. Once it is seen through, these people can easily be held together, so that they can't even carry out the second step, so that they can't walk on the third step at all, and they dare not walk on it, let alone the four or five steps behind.
On the contrary, if no one can see through this step or guess his backup plan, these people will actively break the old system because they are all transferred to positions because of promotion.
The best way for the new leaders of the department to seize power is to launch a major personnel change below. What Zhao Kuangyin wants is that they will actively expand the personnel change and then lay off some elderly people on a large scale.
Zhao Guangmei's current wife is Zhang Lingduo's biological daughter, while Zhao Guanglan is planning to marry Gao Huaide. How dare he talk to his family about this? Even if he only reveals a little bit of it, this matter may be wasted.
Therefore, when Zhao Pu said this, the cold sweat broke out behind Zhao Kuangyin.
He had just taken the first step in this chess! He was actually seen through?
Even if Zhao Guangmei is a genius, he is only thirteen years old after all. If a thirteen-year-old child can see through the situation he set up, what about others? What about his brothers? What about the staff behind his brothers?
He simply didn't dare to continue thinking.
"Will there be... any misunderstandings?"
"It shouldn't be. He strongly recommended the surrendered general named Yang Ye and said that this person will probably become one of the top military generals in our Song Dynasty in the future."
Well, there is no need to guess this anymore. After all, Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide are not old. If it weren't for seeing his true intentions, Zhao Kuangyin knew that he was thinking about removing them all, and Yang Ye wouldn't have been the turn of him to stand up in his life.
"He is only thirteen years old, so he is not smart. He is simply a bit evil. But what is he trying to do when he pointed out this?"
"I don't know, why don't the official go and ask in person? I see that the third young master is very sharp. Although he is very thoughtful, he has no twists and turns. He should not hide his thoughts with you. If you ask, he might just say it."
"Will smart people hide their own thoughts?"
"Although I don't have much contact with the third young master, I think he...he will, but he doesn't want to hide it."
