Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 214
Zhao Yuanzuo is the special envoy of the imperial town, and also a little prince, with Shang Fang's sword at his side.

This identity still cannot be ignored, even if Gao Huaide, the inspector Taiwei, is his uncle, he has to come to Shuiluo City to meet him in person.

Liu An, the prefect of Weizhou Prefecture, accompanied Gao Huaide, the military governor of the Zhongwu Army, to Shuiluo City in person.

When the two sides met, although Zhao Yuanzuo was polite to his uncle, he did not take the airs of the special envoy on the town side at all.

Gao Huaide couldn't help but feel half cold, knowing that he couldn't take charge of this matter this time.

"The envoy came here this time because of the will of the Holy Majesty. The Northern Han Dynasty will attack our Great Song Dynasty in the near future. It is here that our soldiers are heading. Our Great Song Dynasty must clear up the border and store up food. Resolutely resist , must not be neglected.”

"In addition, the people here should also be prepared to move at any time. The Northern Han Dynasty's offensive will definitely not be small."

Gao Huaide and Liu An looked at each other blankly.

Liu An said, "Master Special Envoy! Where did this information come from? There are no such rumors inside and outside the government!"

Zhao Yuanzuo frowned slightly, "Prevent if there is one, and refrain if there is no one. This is the will of the Holy Majesty, and it cannot be canceled by you without information."

Liu An was deflated.

If it is said that Gao Huaide has high authority and has no party or affiliation, then Liu An is actually a member of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi, so Liu An dared to ask the reason before Gao Huaide.

Unexpectedly, he was still dismissed by the little prince with one sentence.

Liu An had a vague and bad feeling.

Is the little prince betraying the King of Qi, or because he obeyed the Holy Majesty's will, he became arrogant.

Although Gao Huaide didn't say anything, he was also puzzled.

The Northern Han army was not as powerful as the Song Dynasty, and it had not expanded much in recent years.

Due to their limited strength, it is unlikely that they should attack suddenly.

But with the lessons learned from Liu An, he was naturally sensible and didn't say much.

But I was half-believing and quite puzzled in my heart.

He decided that what should be cooperated is not to participate.

In order not to cause trouble for himself, and to prevent His Majesty from feeling that he might pose a threat.

Gao Huaide has already made a decision in his heart.

Even if there is a war this time, I will never act rashly.Just be perfunctory.

Wang Jien waited for Zhao Yuanzuo to finish speaking, and then said a few words.But what he said was to instruct Gao Huaide and Liu An to make them behave in a perfunctory manner even if they were perfunctory, not to anger the little prince, and to walk around if they can't eat.

After Zhao Yuanzuo delivered the decree, he followed Gao Huaide to the military camp to inspect the military equipment of the Zhongwu Army.

Liu An is a local official and can't manage the military, so he stayed to flatter Wang Jien.

"Officer Wang! I haven't seen you for many years, but you look younger. Wangzai has prepared a banquet in Chengli, Weizhou, please come and sit with me."

Wang Ji'en raised his eyebrows, "Master Liu! It's better to be exempted. I'm not here to enjoy the will of the Holy One this time. I put official duties first."

"Senior official! You are..." Seeing that Wang Jien, who was always easy to talk and loved to take bribes, became serious, Liu An couldn't help feeling even more flustered.

"Lord Liu!" Wang Jien glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Don't say I won't tell you. Your Majesty is serious this time. The little prince has a Shangfang sword on him, and he can do things cheaply at any time..."

Liu An took a breath of air, "But, Prince Jin..."

"Although King Jin is the father of the little prince, our little prince is usually quite close to King Qi. Besides, it's a different way to live in the world, and I don't count as my King Jin."

hiss!Liu An opened his mouth in horror, and stared at Wang Jien, "This...how could..."

Wang Jien nodded heavily, "This is the situation. In short, Mr. Liu must be cautious and pay attention to everything he does."

Sure enough, Wang Jien was right. As soon as Zhao Yuanzuo came to the front line, he started drastic reforms.

Since he is the special envoy of the town, as long as it is border defense, he will take care of everything.

Originally, Gao Huaide only took care of military affairs, and Liu An only took care of local affairs, but after Zhao Yuanzuo came, he took care of everything, regardless of the military or local affairs.

And Wang Jien also cooperated extremely, one of the two issued orders, and the other carried them out. After a few days, the Zhongwu army and the Weizhou government had an uproar.

"General Wu! What about that batch of lockets?"

"Hey! Beheaded! Colonel Han missed the military plane and beheaded him for public display last night!"

"what……"

Outside the military gate, the two generals were discussing in low voices.

"It's just fifty pairs of mail armor. Why did the upper echelon get so cruel?"

"Hey! Speaking of which, Captain Han is really audacious. He asked his relatives to take over this order of mail armor, but let people pass it off as a good one. If such armor is on the battlefield, let alone the Northern Han army. , Even if you are afraid of an arrow, you can't resist it."

"But isn't it a legend that this Captain Han is the cousin of the Jiedu envoy's concubine?"

"That's so useless! Jiedu envoys have a dozen concubines, and they will stand up for a concubine's cousin? You must know that the little prince from the capital is wearing a sword bestowed by the imperial court."

"Hiss! Good fellow! The legendary Shang Fang Sword, has it appeared?"

"Of course! If this thing is invited out, let alone a small Wupin captain, even you General Wu, or even Liu An, the prefect of Weizhou, will be killed with a single sword, without blinking an eye."

"Well! In fact, this is also good. It is said that there will be a war soon. The army should be cleaned up to be prepared for any danger. If Captain Han dies now, he may go to the battlefield and save a lot of my soldiers from the Great Song Dynasty."

The next day, in a commercial firm, "Mr. Chen! Have you heard? The house of Ma, a cloth merchant in the city, was investigated last night!"

"Of course I heard about it! It is said that the Ma family secretly set up a bridge for Northern Han merchants and sold a lot of ironware to them."

"Hi! Your news is late! Just this morning, Ma's house has been ransacked!"

"Sold ironware to the Northern Han Dynasty, so it deserves to be ransacked."

Salt and iron are military materials on the border of northern Xinjiang, and selling salt and iron is tantamount to funding the enemy.

"But having said that, in recent years, everyone's business has grown bigger and bigger. Who has done less of this business of relying on iron and iron to support the enemy..."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, keep quiet! This kind of joke is not allowed!"

All the businessmen were discussing, suddenly a guy rushed in,
"Hurry up and watch the fun! The Ma family, a cloth merchant, is an enemy of salt and iron. Let's go and kill immediately!"

"hiss……"

Whoa!
……

Just now, the businessman who was talking about who never sold salt and iron was so scared that he peed his pants.

In less than three days, in the city of Weizhou, many businesses were punished and their assets were confiscated, and seven or eight businessmen who were suspected of supporting the enemy had their heads cut off in court.

Zhao Yuanzuo acted swiftly and resolutely, and his prestige spread throughout northern Xinjiang in an instant.

In the government office:
"Lord Liu! This little prince is cruel and ruthless. All the property we have worked so hard to save in Weizhou for more than ten years has been lost to him..."

"Master Liu! Make the decision for us!"

Liu An looked at the panic-stricken subordinates and gritted his teeth, "That's all! I want to give the Holy Spirit a list! Refer to him!"
