    Chapter 321 Unification of the World 15 Over the past three or four years, Han Zhongwei has been busy developing his own strength, but this does not mean that he does not understand the situation in Jiangnan District or the Mongolian Khanate.  .  .  In fact, Ding Chuan's Minister of Public Security did a particularly good job in intelligence collection. As long as Han Zhongwei wanted to know, Ding Chuan would be able to get him accurate information.  Although Han Zhongwei ordered Ding Chuan not to interfere in the affairs of Jiangnan District, this was after signing the agreement. As for the chess pieces that Ding Chuan had laid out before, Han Zhongwei certainly would not let him withdraw. When had he ever done a loss-making business?  Shi Miyuan took great pains to find beautiful women and place them next to Zhao Hong. However, Ding Chuan had already placed people beside Zhao Hong. At that time, they were only placed as idle chess pieces, and he did not want them to play any role.  It doesn¡¯t cost much every month anyway.  But as Zhao Hong was elected as the prince, he immediately became a popular figure, and the people around him also became more popular. Information about Zhao Hong continued to reach Ding Chuan.  Ding Chuan was dismissive of Zhao Hong's threat to Han Zhongwei. He didn't know whether Zhao Hongneng could win the throne, so how could he have the right to come to Han Zhongwei to settle accounts.  Seeing Zhao Hong's words and deeds, Ding Chuan was sure that such a person would never succeed.  The reason why he collected information about Zhao Hong was mainly to see if this person was valuable.  There is an article in the agreement signed between Han Zhongwei and Zhao Kuo that if there is a rebellion in Jiangnan District and the district chief of Jiangnan District asks Han Zhongwei for help, the escort army will be able to enter Jiangnan District to assist in the peace settlement.  Of course, after the verdict, the escort will go back, and everything must be as it was before.  "But with Han Zhongwei's character, once the escort army enters Jiangnan, it will be easy to treat guests but difficult to see them off. It will be difficult to get the escort army back.  "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuo from Jiangnan District is seriously ill, and Shi Miyuan is at odds with Zhao Hong. I think something will happen in Jiangnan District soon." After receiving the news that Zhao Kuo was seriously ill, Ding Chuan immediately reported to Zhao Kuo.  Han Zhongwei reported the incident.  "Of course, Zhao Hong is such a fool. He didn't even touch the throne of the emperor, and he uttered arrogant words. I really don't know how to write the word "death." Han Zhongwei sneered, regarding Zhao Hong who once said that he would kill him.  Han Zhongwei was not even interested in listening to what he said. People like Zhao Hong were not worth worrying about.  Han Zhongwei's only worry is that if Zhao Hong becomes emperor, Jiangnan District may be easier to control, or it may be possible to truly take it back in advance.  "It seems that Shi Miyuan wants to stage a coup." Ding Chuan said with a smile, because Zhao Hong blocked his approach, and if he wanted to maintain his current position, he could only launch a counterattack.  Rabbits will bite when they are anxious, and dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious. Moreover, Shi Miyun is the most powerful person in Jiangnan District. Even if Zhao Hong really takes the throne of emperor, he may not be his opponent, not to mention Zhao Hong now.  It's nothing yet.  "I remember that the district chief of Jiangnan District must be recognized by me to be legal, right?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. This is the benefit of being a nominal ruler. No matter how awesome Jiangnan District is, once Zhao Kuo has an accident, he will  The successor must be recognized by the Chinese central government, otherwise, it will be illegal.  "Yes, if you designate Zhao Hong as the new head of Jiangnan District, even if Shi Miyuan tries anything new, he will only lose his teeth and swallow his blood." Ding Chuan said with a smile.  "Immediately ask the Jiangnan office to contact Shi Miyuan. He has two options. One is to be the district chief himself, and the other is to let Zhao Hong be the district chief. Apart from this, there is no third option." Han Zhongwei said, regardless of Shi Miyuan  No matter what Yuan chooses, it will be extremely detrimental to him.  Zhao Hong made it clear that he wanted to harm Shi Miyuan. If Shi Miyuan followed the established plan and let Zhao Hong take over, he would be asking for his own death.  Everything Shi Miyuan has now was given by Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo dies and Zhao Hong comes to power, all this will be taken away from him.  But does Shi Miyuan dare to replace Zhao Hong?  He couldn't and didn't dare. Even though Shi Miyuan had already controlled the entire court situation, if he were allowed to do such rebellious things, his strength would immediately collapse.  In fact, Shi Miyuan is looking for a new prince. Now that Zhao Kuo is only seriously ill and not dead yet, he still has a chance.  What's more, Zhao Hong's current identity is still the prince, and he has not been appointed as the prince. Zhao Kuo has not let him ascend the throne in advance to complete the transfer of power, which gave Shi Miyuan an opportunity.  Prior to this, Shi Miyuan had actually sent his confidant Xu Tianxi to find a more suitable prince. Shi Miyuan's requirements were that in addition to being the tenth grandson of Taizu, he must also have a clean family background and no political background.  Make sure that people he can control with one hand enter the palace, so that he can control the sky with one hand and dominate the world in the future.  But it¡¯s so difficult to find such a person. Xu Tianxi¡¯s legs were almost stretched thin. His hard work paid off, and he really accomplished this matter.  He retrieved his two brothers from Yuezhou?: The elder brother Zhao Yuju, the younger brother Zhao Yurui.  These two people are the descendants of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.  Because they were not from the same branch as Zhao Kuo, by the time of Zhao Kuo's dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's branch had already declined, and the king no longer existed.  Neither Zhao Yuju's great-grandfather nor grandfather held any official positions. It was only in his generation that he became a ninth-grade county captain.  Although brothers Zhao and Ju are members of the clan, they have lived the lives of common people since they were young. My father, a minor official, passed away early, so he had to live with his mother at his uncle's house.  And his uncle was just an ordinary security chief, so their political background seemed "simple", which was exactly what Shi Miyuan needed.  He summoned the two brothers Zhao and Ju into Lin'an for an interview. Shi Miyun had learned physiognomy before, and he was shocked when he saw Zhao and Ju, thinking that he was "indescribably valuable."  Since Zhao Hong has not been confirmed as the crown prince, Zhao Yu Ju also has a chance. Shi Miyuan tried his best to recommend Zhao Yu Ju to Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo had no feelings for this handsome man.  Shi Miyuan only had the right to recommend, but not the right to decide, so he could only stare blankly at this.  But the wily and scheming Shi Miyuan did not stop there. In order to qualify Zhao and Ju to participate in the competition, he arranged for Zhao and Ju to enter the Jiyi Prince's Palace, become Zhao Huan's heir, and change his name to Zhao Guicheng.  Zhao Yuju, who was renamed Zhao Guicheng, was secretly cultivated by Shi Miyuan. Although Zhao Guicheng could almost be called a commoner, he seemed to be born with the skills of an emperor. Under Shi Miyuan's arrangement, his knowledge and knowledge improved rapidly.  , even the teacher who taught him could only use two words to describe him: "extraordinary".  But just when Shi Miyuan felt that everything was ready, he received an order from Zhongdu Mansion. Han Zhongwei only gave him two choices, either Zhao Hong or himself to replace him. Both of these two options were very important to Shi Miyuan.  It's extremely disadvantageous.  "This is interference in Jiangnan's internal affairs," Shi Miyuan said angrily after receiving the unmistakable news from the office.  "Master Shi, this is in line with the original agreement." Zhu Hong, a clerk in the office, said lightly. In terms of administrative level, Zhu Hong and Shi Mi are far apart, but facing the most popular figure in Jiangnan District,  But Zhu Hong can talk eloquently without falling behind. This is the advantage of having a strong backing behind him.  "The master of Jiangnan should be decided by us Jiangnan people, not Zhongdu," Shi Miyuan said while holding back his anger. Who in Jiangnan dared to speak so unreasonably to him now?  I'm afraid that apart from people from Zhongdu, only today would dare.  "Isn't Zhao Hong decided by you Jiangnan people?" Zhu Hong said sarcastically. As a prince, Zhao Hong would not only register in the palace, but also keep his files in Zhongdu. Shi Miyuan wanted to cover the sky with one hand. If he was in the Song Dynasty,  , maybe it is possible, but now there is China above Jiangnan District. How could Han Zhongwei allow him to do whatever he wants?  ¡°If I must support Zhao Guicheng, so what?¡± Shi Miyuan sneered.  "The escort will enter Lin'an to quell the rebellion, and Zhao Guicheng will be escorted to Zhongdu for trial as the rebel leader." Zhu Hong said coldly.  "You dare?" Shi Miyuan's face turned pale. Although his face was tough, he knew that Han Zhongwei was really brave. Maybe he was looking forward to something happening in Jiangnan District so that he would have an excuse to enter Jiangnan.  "Dare you dare, Master Shi knows it well." After Zhu Hong finished speaking, he left, leaving Shi Miyuan, the most important minister of Jiangnan District, there.  "Master Zhu, please don't leave. Is there any other solution to this matter?" Shi Mi saw that Zhu Hong was about to leave and quickly grabbed his sleeve.  "Master Shi can be the district chief of Jiangnan District." Zhu Hong squinted his eyes and chuckled.  "I can only be a minister but not a king." Shi Miyuan said with a bitter smile. If he dared to replace Zhao Kuo, I am afraid that the entire Jiangnan would continue to attack him.  "Even if you become the district chief of Jiangnan District, you will not be a king, but a minister. There will never be another monarch in Jiangnan District in the future. Even Zhao Kuo is just a minister and the district chief of Jiangnan District.  ." Zhu Hong said disdainfully.  "That's what I say, but in fact the official family is still our monarch. This has not changed at all until now." Shi Miyuan said, "I want to know now, what do the Korean rulers think?" "The country  I don¡¯t think I know what the Lord thinks with Mr. Shi¡¯s intelligence?¡± Zhu Hong said with a smile.  "Is the Korean leader too anxious? Now that the official family is still alive, if I reverse Zhao Guicheng's identity before this and send it to the Central Capital for record, then the leader of the country should not be able to find any thorns, right?"  Shi Miyuan suddenly laughed and said, the reason why Zhongdu dares to force him now is because Zhao Hong has filed a record in Zhongdu. As long as Zhao Kuo does not die for a day, the position of the crown prince will be uncertain.  "You are indeed very smart, but sometimes your cleverness is mistaken for your cleverness." Zhu Hong was surprised in his heart, but his face was confused.But he said with a sneer.  "A smart person will not shoot himself in the foot." Shi Miyuan saw Zhu Hong's expression change, and knew that he had stepped on the other side's sore spot. As long as he did not violate the agreement, he had the final say in Jiangnan.  Zhao Guicheng and Zhao Hong have the same status. They are both the tenth generation grandson of Taizu. However, Zhao Guicheng's father has become a commoner, while Zhao Hong's father is a prince.  But under Shi Miyuan's control, Zhao Guicheng and Zhao Hong were completely on the same starting line. In terms of knowledge or emperor's scheming, Zhao Hong was not even as good as him.  Now that Zhao Kuo is seriously ill, there is not much time left for Shi Miyuan. He has to get this matter done before Zhao Kuo dies. Otherwise, as Han Zhongwei said, once China supports Zhao Hong as the head of Jiangnan District, he will  Ten lives are not enough to survive.  Zheng Qingzhi, who was only a ninth-rank scholar, was a close associate sent by Shi Miyuan to teach Zhao Guicheng. Shi Miyuan only promised to promote him to the third rank, and this guy from a famous Confucian family understood.  Shi Miyuan said to him: "It is difficult for a prince to become a great prince nowadays. I heard that Zhao Guicheng, who entered the Jiyi Prince's Palace, is very virtuous. Now I want to ask Mr. to be his teacher and enlighten him." In order to be promoted, Zheng Qingzhi turned to the past.  The "moral principles" and "natural principles" that we often talk about have been thrown into the toilet, and only the naked "human desires" are left in our hearts.  As soon as Zhu Hong left, Shi Miyuan immediately sent Zheng Qingzhi to Prince Yi's Mansion to inform Zhao Guicheng of his preparations to support him.  If ordinary people heard such news, they would jump for joy, but after Zhao Guicheng heard the news brought by Zheng Qingzhi, he was silent, sitting there as if cast iron, with an expressionless face and said nothing.  Zheng Qingzhi never thought that Zhao Guicheng would slip up at the last moment. This was something he had never expected before.  Zheng Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and Zhao Guicheng was so scheming that he was actually much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Hong.  "What do you want?" Zheng Qing was so anxious that he almost cried.  "My mother is still in Shaoxing." After a long time, Zhao Guicheng sighed slightly and said slowly.  Now can be said to be a critical moment. Zhao Guicheng can be so thoughtful, calm and considerate of the safety of his loved ones without being overly excited or panicked at all. Compared with Zhao Hongyi, this performance is indeed a comparison in the sky.  On the ground, even Shi Miyuan was greatly impressed after hearing this.  As expected, none of the great ancestors and descendants are easy to deal with.  Zhao Guicheng agreed to cooperate with Shi Miyuan in a tortuous and obscure way, and then things became simple. Shi Miyuan's power in Jiangnan District was overwhelming, and it was very easy for him to manipulate the ministers of the DPRK and China.  During this time, Zhao Kuo was dying of illness, and the ministers in the court were completely distracted. He secretly called Zheng Qingzhi and Zhixueyuan Cheng Bai into the palace, forged an edict, made Zhao Guicheng the prince, and named him Zhao Yun.  .  With this status as a prince, Zhao Yun and Zhao Hong are completely equal. Both of them are princes and both have the qualifications to inherit the throne in the future.  Zhao Kuo did not establish a prince prematurely and left only one prince. This needle-sized loophole allowed Shi Miyuan to pour in the wind of fighting.  In order not to leave an excuse for Han Zhongwei, Shi Miyuan immediately wrote to Zhongdu as soon as the matter was settled, and sent Zhao Yun's information to Zhongdu as quickly as possible.  As long as neither China nor China interferes with him, Shi Miyuan believes that he can handle everything properly.  Zhao Yun has become a prince. Although he has Shi Miyuan's support, there is still an unavoidable obstacle to inheriting the throne, and that is Empress Yang's approval.  In this regard, Shi Miyuan prepared two strategies. On the one hand, he contacted the palace commander Xia Zhen and prepared to learn from Han Zhongwei's method. If it failed, he would force the palace and carry out an armed coup.  The other thing is to find Yang Cishan's two sons: Yang Gu and Yang Shi, and ask them to enter the palace to persuade Queen Yang.  Now Shi Miyuan is really ready for everything, he just needs Zhao Kuo to ascend to heaven.  Han Zhongwei, who was far away in Zhongdu, frowned after receiving the text sent by Shi Miyuan on the fast horse. He immediately asked Ding Chuan to come. Shi Miyuan was so anxious to help Zhao Guicheng become the prince, and now he will name him.  For Zhao Yun, it is obvious that Zhao Kuo does not have much time left.  "This Zhao Yun, whose original name is Zhao Guicheng, do you have any information?" Han Zhongwei asked quickly after seeing Ding Chuan.  "Zhao Guicheng's original name is Zhao Yuju. He is a descendant of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and the current Zhao Kuo belongs to Zhao Defang's branch. By Zhao Kuo's dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's branch had declined and had no title. Zhao Yuju's  Father Zhao Xiwen is just a ninth-grade county lieutenant" Ding Chuan suddenly glanced at Han Zhongwei with a guilty conscience, knowing that the Korean master had also been a county lieutenant.  "Go on, there is no need to introduce his life experience in such detail. Let's talk about the differences between Zhao Yuju and Zhao Hong." Han Zhongwei said.  ¡°Zhao Yuju acts with foresight, is calm in situations, and the most important thing is to know the current affairs.¡±Ding Chuan said.  "This man is very scheming. If he really takes Zhao Kuo's place, can Shi Miyuan control him?" Han Zhongwei thought for a moment. Zhao and Ju's identities have natural advantages. If he really takes Zhao Kuo's place, can Shi Miyuan control him?  Expansion, with his scheming, is not without a chance to monopolize power. At least he can ask for help from himself. Of course, he will pay a price, but at the same time, he can also get what he wants: power.  "If he wants to fight Shi Miyuan on his own, he will definitely not be able to win." Ding Chuan smiled softly.  "Does he have ambitions?" Han Zhongwei suddenly asked.  "Ambition? This thing can be cultivated. Even if he doesn't have it now, in the future haha." Ding Chuan said with a smile. Once Zhao Yuju ascends the throne, he will definitely not be regarded as a puppet by Shi Miyuan.  "Actually, it doesn't matter to us who will replace Zhao Kuo. Shi Miyuan is trying every possible means to replace Zhao Hong with Zhao Yun this time. Maybe he will really shoot himself in the foot." Han Zhongwei said with a slight smile.  "If he really smashes his own foot, he deserves it." Ding Chuan said with a smile.  When Han Zhongwei and Ding Chuan were discussing the political situation in Jiangnan District, Zhao Kuo, who was far away in Lin'an, finally failed to survive and died.  After Zhao Kuo's death, Queen Yang was ready to make Zhao Hong the emperor as he wished. However, Yang Gu and Yang Shi persuaded her to change her mind and entered the palace seven times that night, running back and forth between her and Shi Miyuan like a shuttle.  Empress Yang insisted on not giving in at first. She believed that this was a matter for the Heavenly Family. When did it become the minister's turn to dictate?  However, Shi Miyuan did not dare to let an emperor who wanted to harm him come to power. Therefore, he made harsh words that if he could not get it done within an hour, he would use force.  Yang Gu and Yang Shi ran into the palace for the last time, knelt in front of Queen Yang and cried loudly, refusing to get up. They told Queen Yang clearly: "Now that the army has been deployed outside, I will not agree to make Zhao Yun the emperor again."  , our old Yang family will all lose their heads." Empress Yang stopped talking, and she really had nothing to say. She once wanted to ask Han Zhongwei from Zhongdu to take charge of the overall situation for her, but in a blink of an eye, if Han Zhongwei intervened in this matter  , can Jiangnan District be saved by then?  Between Han Zhongwei and Shi Miyuan, Queen Yang finally chose Shi Miyuan. Now that she succumbs to Shi Miyuan, the imperial power will only fall aside. But if Han Zhongwei is allowed to come, the imperial power will decline.  Empress Yang finally nodded, and Shi Miyuan immediately called someone to summon the prince to the palace, and repeatedly warned: "Understand, the one summoned is the prince Zhao Yun of Prince Yi's Mansion, not the prince Zhao Hong of Wansui Lane. If you are mistaken,  I'll kill your whole family." With the support of Empress Yang and Shi Miyuan, Zhao Yun had the green light to seize the throne. When Shi Miyuan led Zhao Yun to the coffin of Zhao to rise and fall as the heir, the one who believed that Long  Zhao Hong was still in the dark about the fact that the chair was his own.  Excerpted from ( )
