For the past three or four years, Han Zhongwei has been busy developing his strength, but this does not mean that he does not understand the situation in the Jiangnan District or the Mongolian Khanate... In fact, Ding Chuan's Minister of Public Security has done a particularly outstanding job in intelligence collection. As long as Han Zhongwei wants to know, Ding Chuan will definitely get accurate information for him.

Although Han Zhongwei ordered Ding Chuan not to interfere in the Jiangnan District, this is about signing the agreement. As for the chess pieces that Ding Chuan had set up before, Han Zhongwei would certainly not let him withdraw, and when did he do the loss-making business?

Shi Miyuan tried his best to find a beautiful woman to put her in a minute. However, Ding Chuan had already set up people around Zhao Hong. At that time, he was just used as a free chess piece and did not want them to play any role. Anyway, it would not cost much money every month. However, as Zhao Hong was elected as the prince, he immediately became a popular figure, and the people around him also rose. Information about Zhao Hong was constantly spread to Ding Chuan.

Ding Chuan was disdainful of the threat Zhao Rong said to Han Zhongwei. He didn't know whether Zhao Rong could win the throne. He had no right to settle the score with Han Zhongwei. Seeing Zhao Rong's words and deeds, Ding Chuan was sure that such a person could not accomplish anything. The reason why he collected Zhao Rong's information was mainly to see if this person was of value.

There is such an agreement signed between Han Zhongwei and Zhao Kuo. If a rebellion occurs in Jiangnan District and the district mayor of Jiangnan District asks for help from Han Zhongwei, the guards will enter Jiangnan District to assist in the verdict. Of course, after the verdict, the guards will go back and everything must be followed.

However, with Han Zhongwei's character, once the guards enter Jiangnan, it will be easy to treat guests and it will be difficult to send guests. If you want the guards to come back, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

"Master, Zhao Kuo from Jiangnan District is seriously ill, and Shi Miyuan is in a bad mood with Zhao Rong. I think something is going to happen in Jiangnan District soon." After receiving the news that Zhao Kuo was seriously ill, Ding Chuan immediately reported this to Han Zhongwei.

"Of course, Zhao Rong, who was stupid, didn't even find the emperor's throne, just spoke wildly. I really don't know how to write the word "death". Han Zhongwei sneered. Han Zhongwei didn't even have the interest in listening to Zhao Rong's words that he had once said to kill him on the horse. People like Zhao Rong were not worth worrying about him. Han Zhongwei's only concern was that if Zhao Rong became the emperor, Jiangnan District might be easier to control, or it might be possible to actually take it back in advance.

"It seems that Shi Miyuan wants to start a coup." Ding Chuan smiled. Because Zhao Rong blocked the passage he was approaching, he had to launch a counterattack if he wanted to maintain his current position. The rabbit would bite people when he was anxious, and he would jump over the wall if he was anxious. Moreover, Shi Miyun is the most powerful person in Jiangnan District. Even if Zhao Rong really took the position of emperor, he might not be his opponent, let alone Zhao Rong is nothing now.

"I remember that the mayor of Jiangnan District must be recognized by me to be considered legal, right?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. This is the benefit of being a nominal ruler. No matter how awesome the Jiangnan District is, if Zhao Kuo has an accident, his successor must be recognized by the Chinese central government, otherwise, it will be illegal.

"Yes, if you designate Zhao Rong as the new Jiangnan District Mayor, even if Shi Miyuan makes any name, he can only kill his teeth and swallow his blood." Ding Chuan said with a smile.

"You ask the Jiangnan Office to contact Shi Miyuan immediately. He has two choices. One is to be the district mayor himself, and the other is to let Zhao Xun be. Apart from that, there is no third choice." Han Zhongwei said that no matter what Shi Miyuan chooses, it will be extremely unfavorable to him.

Zhao Hong clearly stated that it would be detrimental to Shi Miyuan. If Shi Miyuan let Zhao Meng take office according to the established plan, he would be seeking death. Now all this Shi Miyuan has is given by Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo dies and Zhao Meng takes office, all this will leave him. But does Shi Miyuan dare to replace Zhao Meng? He cannot, nor dare, even though Shi Miyuan has controlled the entire court, if he is really allowed to do such a rebellious thing, his strength will collapse immediately.

In fact, Shi Miyuan is a new prince. Now Zhao Kuo is only seriously ill and has not died yet, so he still has a chance. Moreover, Zhao Hong is still a prince now, and he has not made him the crown prince. Zhao Kuo did not let him ascend the throne in advance and complete the transfer of power, which gave Shi Miyuan a chance.

Before this, Shi Miyuan had actually sent his confidant Xu Tianxi to find a more suitable prince. Shi Miyuan's request was that in addition to being the tenth-generation grandson of Taizu, he also had to be innocent and had no political background. He also had to ensure that he could control people to the palace, so that he could cover the sky with one hand and dominate the world in the future.

But it was so difficult to find such a person. Xu Tianxi almost ran away his legs. His hard work paid off. This matter was really done by him. He found two brothers from Yuezhou: his elder brother Zhao Yuju and his younger brother Zhao Yurui. These two were descendants of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Because they were not the same as Zhao Kuang, in the Zhao Kuang Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's branch had already declined and the king's title had long been gone. Zhao Yuju's great-grandfather had never held any official positions, and it was only after his generation that he became a ninth-rank county lieutenant.

Although the brothers Zhao and Ju are children of the royal family, they have lived a life of ordinary people since childhood. When they were small officials, they died early, so they had to live with their mothers at their uncle's house. His uncle was just a very ordinary security chief, so their political background seemed very "simple", which was exactly what Shi Miyuan needed.

He summoned the two brothers Zhao and Ju to Lin'an, and he wanted to conduct an interview. Shi Miyun had learned physiognomy before, but when he saw Zhao and Ju, he was shocked and thought that he was "very expensive".

Since Zhao Rong was not determined to be the crown prince, Zhao Yuju also had a chance. Shi Miyuan tried his best to recommend Zhao Yuju to Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo had no feelings for this handsome appearance. Shi Miyuan had only the right to recommend but no decision-making, and could only stare at this. However, the scheming Shi Miyuan did not stop there. In order to make Zhao Yuju qualified to participate in the competition, he arranged for Zhao Yuju to enter the Yi Palace and become the heir to Zhao Yan, and changed his name to Zhao Guicheng.

Zhao Yuju, who was renamed Zhao Guicheng, was secretly cultivated by Shi Miyuan. Although Zhao Guicheng can almost be called a commoner, he seems to have a natural imperial skill. Under Shi Miyuan's arrangement, his knowledge and knowledge have improved rapidly. Even the teacher who taught him can only describe him in two words: "Extraordinary".

But just when Shi Miyuan felt that everything was ready, he received an order from Zhongdu Mansion, and Han Zhongwei gave him only two choices, either Zhao Hong or he himself replaced him. These two are extremely unfavorable to Shi Miyuan.

"This is interfering in the internal affairs of Jiangnan." Shi Miyuan said angrily after receiving the clear news from the office.

"Sir Shi, this is in line with the agreement at the beginning." Zhu Hong, the minor official in the office, said lightly. In terms of administrative levels, Zhu Hong and Shi Miyuan are a thousand miles apart, but when faced with the most popular figure in Jiangnan District, Zhu Hong can talk freely and not lose the upper hand. This is the benefit of having a strong backing behind him.

"The Lord of Jiangnan should be decided by us Jiangnan people, not by Zhongdu," Shi Miyuan said with a strong anger. Who in Jiangnan dares to speak to him so unreasonable? I am afraid that except for the people from Zhongdu, there are only people who dare to do it now.

"Didn't Zhao Rong decide by you Jiangnan?" Zhu Hong said sarcastically. As a prince, Zhao Rong not only registers in the palace, but also keeps his files in Zhongtian. Shi Miyuan wants to cover up the sky with one hand. If it were in the Song Dynasty, it might be possible, but now there is a China above Jiangnan District. How could Han Zhongwei allow him to do anything wrong?

"If I had to support Zhao Guicheng, so what?" Shi Miyuan sneered.

"The guards will enter Lin'an to quell the rebellion, and Zhao Guicheng will be tried as the leader of the rebel party." 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 hoping that something would happen in Jiangnan District so that he could have an excuse to enter Jiangnan.

"Dare you dare or not, Lord Shi knows it." Zhu Hong left after saying that, leaving Shi Miyuankong's first important official in Jiangnan District.

"Sir Zhu, don't leave. Is there any other solution to this matter?" Shi Miyuan saw that Zhu Hong was about to leave, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

"Mr. Shi can be the district mayor of Jiangnan District by himself." Zhu Hong narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"I can only be a minister but not a king." Shi Miyuan smiled bitterly. If he dared to take Zhao Kuo and replace him, the entire Jiangnan would probably attack him.

"Even if you become the district mayor of Jiangnan District, you will not be a monarch, but a minister, there will be no monarch in Jiangnan District in the future. Even if Zhao Kuo is now just a minister and the district mayor of Jiangnan District." Zhu Hong said disdainfully.

"That's right, but in fact, the official family is still our monarch, and this has not changed at all until now." Shi Miyuan said, "I want to know now what the Korean lord thinks?"

"What did the king think? I think with Lord Shi's intelligence, how can I not know?" Zhu Hong said with a smile.

"Are the Korean Lord too anxious? The official family is still alive now. If I reverse Zhao Guicheng's identity before this and submit it to Zhongdu for filing, the king of the country should not be able to pick up any stings, right?" Shi Miyuan suddenly laughed. The reason why Zhongdu dared to force him now was because Zhao Rong had filed a case in Zhongdu? As long as Zhao Kuo did not die for a day, the position of the crown prince would be variable.

"You are indeed very smart, but sometimes your intelligence is wrong." Zhu Hong was surprised, but he said with a sneer on his face.

"Smart people will not do anything to shoot themselves in the foot." Shi Miyuan changed his face when he saw Zhu Hong, and knew that he had stepped on the other party's pain. As long as he did not violate the agreement, he would have the final say in Jiangnan.

Zhao Guicheng and Zhao Hong have similar identities. Both of them are the tenth generation grandsons of Taizu. However, Zhao Guicheng's old man has become a civilian, while Zhao Hong's old man is a prince. However, under Shi Miyuan's operation, Zhao Guicheng and Zhao Hong stood on the same starting line. If you talk about knowledge or emperor's scheming, Zhao Hong is 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 do this before Zhao Kuo dies. Otherwise, as Han Zhongwei said, once China supports Zhao Rong as the mayor of Jiangnan District, he will not be able to survive if he has ten lives.

Zheng Qingzhi, who only had the ninth rank of Imperial College, was a close confidant sent by Shi Miyuan to teach Zhao Guicheng. Shi Miyuan just agreed to promote him to the third rank by then, and this guy from a famous scholar family understood it. Shi Miyuan said to him: "It is difficult for princes to become great now. I heard that Zhao Guicheng, who entered the Yi Palace, was very virtuous. Now I want to ask the teacher to be his teacher and inspire him well."

In order to get promoted, Zheng Qingzhi threw the "branching, discipline and morality" and "nature" that he often talked about in the past into the toilet, leaving only the naked "human desires" in his heart. As soon as Zhu Hong left, Shi Miyuan immediately sent Zheng Qingzhi to the Yi Palace to inform Zhao Guicheng of his preparation for support.

If ordinary people heard such news, they would jump up happily, but after hearing the news brought by Zheng Qingzhi, Zhao Guicheng was silent, sitting there like a iron cast, expressionless without saying a word. Zheng Qingzhi never thought that Zhao Guicheng would actually fall out of the chain at the last moment, which was something he had never expected before. Zheng Qingzhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. How deeply Zhao Guicheng was actually much harder to deal with than Zhao Rong.

"What do you want?" Zheng Qingzhi was so anxious that he was almost crying.

"My mother is still in Shaoxing." Zhao Guicheng sighed slightly and said slowly after a long time.

Now it can be said that it is a critical moment in the critical moment. Zhao Guicheng can still think so carefully and treat it calmly. He considers the safety of his relatives, and is not overly excited or panicked at all. Compared with Zhao Rong, this performance is indeed one in the sky and the other on the earth. Even Shi Miyuan was greatly impressed after hearing it. As expected, none of the grandsons of Taizu were easy to deal with.

Zhao Guicheng agreed to cooperate with Shi Miyuan in a tortuous and obscure way, and the matter then became simple. Shi Miyuan's power in Jiangnan District was completely overwhelming, and it was very easy for him to manipulate the ministers in the court. During this period, Zhao Kuo was so ill that he was dying, and the ministers in the court were also completely worried. He secretly called Zheng Qingzhi and Cheng Qi, the direct scholar-in-law, into the palace, forged an edict, and appointed Zhao Guicheng as the prince, giving him the name Zhao Yun.

With this prince's identity, Zhao Yun was completely on par with Zhao Rong. Both of them were princes and were qualified to inherit the throne in the future. Zhao Kuo did not make the crown prince too early, but only one prince was left. This big loophole caused Shi Miyuan to pour into the big wind.

In order not to leave any evidence to Han Zhongwei, Shi Miyuan got the matter done and immediately wrote to Zhongdu and sent Zhao Yun's information to Zhongdu as quickly as possible. As long as Zhong did not interfere with him, Shi Miyuan believed that he could do everything properly.

Zhao Yun has become a prince. Although Shi Miyuan has supported him, there is still an obstacle that cannot be avoided in order to inherit the throne, that is, Empress Yang's recognition. In this regard, Shi Miyuan prepared two moves, and contacted the palace general Xia Zhen and prepared to learn from Han Zhongwei's methods. When it really doesn't work, he will force the palace to carry out an armed coup. In addition, he will find Yang Cishan's two sons: Yang Gu and Yang Shi, and let them enter the palace to persuade Empress Yang.

Now Shi Miyuan is really ready, and he only needs Zhao Kuo to ascend to heaven. Han Zhongwei, who is far away in Zhongdu, frowned after receiving the article from Shi Miyuan in a hurry to send him. He immediately asked Ding Chuan to come. Shi Miyuan was so anxious to help Zhao Guicheng as the prince, and now he is given the name Zhao Yun. Obviously, Zhao Kuo has not had much time left.

"This Zhao Yun, whose original name is Zhao Guicheng, do you have any information there?" Han Zhongwei asked quickly after seeing Ding Chuan.

"Zhao Guicheng's original name was Zhao Yuju, and was a descendant of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Zhao Kuangyin, the eldest son of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Now Zhao Kuang belongs to Zhao Defang's branch. By the Zhao Kuang's dynasty, Zhao Dezhao's branch had declined and had no titles. Zhao Yuju's father Zhao Xiyuan was just a ninth-rank county lieutenant...." Ding Chuan suddenly looked at Han Zhongwei guiltily, knowing that the Korean Lord had also been a county lieutenant.

"Let's go to the point that there is no need to introduce his life experience in such detail. Let's talk about the difference between Zhao Yuju and Zhao Xun." Han Zhongwei said.

"Zhao and Ju act far-sightedly and calmly when encountering things. The most important thing is to know the current affairs." Ding Chuan said.

"Is this man very emperor's mind? If he really replaced Zhao Kuo's position, can Shi Miyuan control him?" Han Zhongwei thought for a while. Zhao Yuju's identity had a natural advantage. If he really replaced Zhao Kuo, with his scheming, he would have to take over power, and there would be a chance. At least he could ask for help from himself. Of course, he would pay the price, but in the same way, he could get what he wanted: power.

"If he wanted to fight Shi Miyuan alone, he would definitely not be able to win." Ding Chuan chuckled.

"Does he have ambition?" Han Zhongwei asked suddenly.

"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 and Ju ascended the throne, he would definitely not be regarded as a puppet by Shi Miyuan.

"In fact, it doesn't matter who will replace Zhao Kuo's position. Shi Miyuan tried every means to replace Zhao Yun this time, and maybe he would really shoot himself in the foot." Han Zhongwei smiled slightly.

"If he really hit himself in the foot, he deserved it." Ding Chuan said with a smile.

When Han Zhongwei and Ding Chuan were talking about the political situation in Jiangnan District, Zhao Kuo, who was far away in Lin'an, finally did not survive and died. When Zhao Kuo died, Empress Yang was about to make Zhao Xun the emperor according to his wishes, but Yang Gu and Yang Shi entered the palace seven times that night, running back and forth between her and Shi Miyuan like a shuttle. Empress Yang insisted not to give in at the beginning, and she thought that this was a matter of the Tian family. When was the turn of the minister to point fingers? But Shi Miyuan did not dare to let an emperor who wanted to be unfavorable to him take power. Therefore, he made a harsh statement. If he could not handle it 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 when they died, and told Queen Yang clearly: "Now that the army has been arranged outside. If we don't agree to make Zhao Yun the emperor, our old Yang family will have to lose their heads."

Queen Yang stopped talking, and she 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, will Jiangnan District still be protected? Between Han Zhongwei and Shi Miyuan, Queen Yang finally chose Shi Miyuan. Now she surrendered to Shi Miyuan and could only let the imperial power fall. But once Han Zhongwei came, the imperial power would be declining.

Queen Yang finally nodded, and Shi Miyuan immediately called someone to summon the prince Xuan to the palace, and repeatedly reminded: "I understand. Xuan is summoning the prince Zhao Yun of the Yi Prince's Mansion, not the prince Zhao Hong from Wansui Lane. If you make a mistake, I will kill your whole family."

With the support of Empress Yang and Shi Miyuan, Zhao Yun passed the green light all the way to the throne. When Shi Miyuan led Zhao Yun to Zhao Kuang's coffin to rise and fall as his heir, Zhao Rong, who believed that the dragon throne was his belonging, was still in the dark.
