Chapter So It Was

Zhao Bing next asked about Ardam's situation, whether he would lose control and become a double-sided spy who took both sides, and even leaked the plan to the Mongols, thus ruining the entire plan.

Zheng Huchen was very confident. It was true that Ardam was an Assyrian, who had studied under the astrological master of the Wisdom Hall, and was proficient in astrology. However, his identity was not a scholar recruited by the caravan, but a slave he was bought. After conquering Baghdad in the Mongol Yuan, he escaped the massacre, but his family was captured by the Yuan army and sold to a Persian maritime merchant as a slave.

Persian maritime merchants did not believe in astrology, but Ardam was very knowledgeable about the movement of astral bodies. In this era, sailing on the sea mainly used star maps to identify the directions, and then they redeem all their families. However, their fate was not good. A few years later, the maritime merchants sank the ship and suffered heavy losses. So they sold them to the slave market and were bought back by the Song Dynasty caravan.

Hao Yuntong found that Ardam was very smart. He quickly learned Chinese in just two years and could read and write, so he asked him to stay in Quanzhou Insurance Institute as a general translator. It was definitely not as he boasted with Tiemur. On the way from Baghdad to the Song Dynasty, he learned Chinese in less than a year. When Zheng Huchen was looking for a candidate for the mission, Hao Yuntong recommended this person to him.

Zheng Huchen thought that Ardam's home was destroyed by the Mongols and his tribe was killed. In addition, the Assyrians had a tradition of revenge and had a deep hatred for the Mongol Yuan. Moreover, Ardam's concept of family was very strong. His wife and children were both in the Song Dynasty, and they provided them with a good living environment, which allowed them to restrain themselves, unless he could really make up his mind to abandon his wife and children, and give up his family and relatives.

For those who perform such extremely dangerous tasks, in addition to effective control methods, the Bureau of Affairs also requires them to volunteer to perform. Because coercion or deception can easily cause them to develop a rebellious mentality, the motivation to perform tasks will be greatly reduced, and even perfunctory or even rebellious. Therefore, after Zheng Huchen repeatedly explained the danger of the task to him, Aldam did not retreat, saying that he would do his best to complete the task, and only proposed to treat his family well.

"Well, has there been any progress on He Weixian?" Zhao Bing knew that Boyan had a very high prestige in the Mongol Yuan, and the old sects were convinced by the Han Fa Sect and Semu Ren, and they acted as the reconciliation of the three sects. Therefore, it was still difficult to kill him with an astrologer. It required cooperation from multiple parties, and the pawn he buried was time to be activated.

"Your Majesty, He Weixian is now very favored by Zhen Jin. He asked him to re-establish Zuoyi Guards' Army and appointed him as Wanhu. He transferred 10,000 Guards from Shangdu and Dadu to guard the Dadu Guards' Court and travel as a guard tent for the guards of the besieged army." Zheng Huchen said, "The Han army in this ten thousand households accounted for 70% of them, and the backbone of the He family army allowed him to basically control this unit. Now he often goes in and out of the palace to accompany Zhen Jin, and is regarded as a confidant."

"Has the medicine been sent?" Zhao Bing chuckled. Judging from the current situation, real gold will be in short order, but he doesn't want him to die immediately. He is terminally ill and it is difficult to maintain his current medical level, so he gave him "Fu Shou Paste". Modern people know that in addition to making people addicted, it can also relieve illness to a certain extent, boost your spirits, hang your life, and make people hallucinate after sucking.

"He has been given to He Weixian. According to his words, his spirit has improved greatly after using the real gold. He said that this medicine is very effective and he must be presented frequently and trust him more." Zheng Huchen said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm worried that this guy can't resist the temptation, so I sucked secretly, and ended up becoming an addict and making a mistake!" Zhao Bing chuckled.

"Well, my subordinates will strictly control it and will not give it too much." Zheng Huchen nodded.

"This thing is a good medicine if it is used well, and if it is excessive, it is a poison." Zhao Bing said with concern, "Zheng Jin is weak and needs to be consumed frequently. The drug addiction will gradually increase, the amount required will gradually increase, and the dependence will increase day by day. You need it to seize the opportunity and do what you should do well!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Zheng Huchen said, "According to the secret line report arranged, He Weixian is now in charge of the garrison of the imperial city, and has become the target of win over by many forces. Brother Sang went back and gave him a heavy gift. The pseudo-poster also frequently expressed his kindness and gave him many beautiful women. Ganmala also sent people to show kindness many times and invited him to the palace for a banquet many times."

"Well, he holds military power and controls the power to enter and exit the palace ban. No matter who wants to do things, he can't avoid him. It's not surprising to win over and buy. Tell him not to rush to stand in a hurry. You can deal with them, but you must never make a stand, otherwise he will become Yuzhe's opponent, which will be faster than trying to get rid of it." Zhao Bing said, and he was also worried that this guy would be so proud that he would act rashly, and instead lose his life first. Now, only by holding the thigh of real gold tightly is the safest and convenient for him to act.

"What Your Majesty said is that my subordinates will try to tell him as soon as possible and don't act rashly!" Zheng Huchen nodded and asked again, "Mongyuan asked several times when will I release Tiemur return, and when will I think it's time for you to do it?"

"Don't worry, let him stay for a while. It's not too late to wait until the peace agreement of the Mongolian Yuan will be completed!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, "The Mongolian Yuan is also arguing about the establishment of the crown prince, and Ganmala is temporarily at a disadvantage. He is supported by the Han legal faction, and their strength is insufficient, so they have time to contact them widely. At that time, the two sides are evenly matched, and only then can we get a glimpse of the fight, and we can take advantage of the troubled waters!"

"Haha, Your Majesty can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight at that time, and we can make profits from it!" Zheng Huchen said with a smile.

"What's the basis of Xu Hong? You can find out now." Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and asked again.

On that day, Chen Dun recommended him as the commander of the guard camp. Ni Liang was not relieved, and the two even had a dispute. But now Tan Fei stayed in Xiangyang, and the deputy commander was promoted to the deputy commander of the pro-guard brigade, so he temporarily took over the command. This time, the ritual of the ritual was escorted by him. In Zhao Bing's view, this person was relatively calm, a little introverted, and was in a proper manner. He did not show any outstanding performance.

Zhao Bing thought that Xu Hong might have just arrived at the guard camp to serve, but the situation was not familiar, so it would be appropriate to put harmony first. Furthermore, the guard camp was full of arrogant soldiers and generals. If they wanted to make them obey orders, they had to have real skills. Naturally, they had to observe first and then act; in addition, the commander Ni Liang looked at people with tinted glasses, and Chen Dun's temper would not be unwilling to remind him, so of course he had to hold a little "tail".

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent people to investigate the situation in his family and before he went to Qiong." Zheng Huchen said, "Spy from all over the Bureau of Affairs went deep into his hometown to visit his brothers of the same clan, his classmates when he was young, classmates when he was in school, and colleagues in the army after he entered Qiong. His family background was innocent, his ancestors had no criminal offenses, his parents were still in the hall, and they made a living by farming. His wife served his parents in the village, hardworking and simple. They had a pair of children and had not yet attended school. The classmates said that he was smart and literary when he was young, liked to read classics and history, and admired Yue Wumu, and had practiced martial arts with martial artists in the village. After entering Qiong, he abandoned his pen and joined the new army. His colleagues said that he was brave in fighting, often led by the army, and was familiar with military tactics, able to adapt to changes, and was quite strategic."

"Well, in that case, he is also a talent!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"Have your Majesty heard something new in the palace?" Zheng Huchen did not respond, but said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Bing was curious and asked with a look forward.

"A few days ago, when the palace gate was closed in the evening, one of the soldiers fell off when they came to the door lock, causing the door lock to fall. Commander Xu, who was beside him, stepped forward quickly, held the door lock with one hand, and then hugged the door lock alone and placed it on the rack, which shocked everyone present." Zheng Huchen said.

"Oh, there is something else? His strength seems to be no less than Ni Liang!" Zhao Bing exclaimed. You should know that the door latch at the palace gate is a thick square wood with a weight of about 400 kilograms. On weekdays, four people need to be lifted up and placed on the gantry. And he can put the door latch alone, and his strength is comparable to that of modern weightlifters.

"Haha, it is said that after hearing this, Tong Ni did not speak for a long time, and I think he was very impressed." Zheng Huchen said.

"No wonder, Ni Liang has never mentioned to me that he wants to choose another commander of the guard camp. It seems that he has already agreed with Xu Hong's ability. It seems that he will not look down on those scholars again in the future." Zhao Bing smiled with such an expression on his face.

Speaking of scholars, people's impressions are all about being weak and weak. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and the teacher of all scholars, are respected as "Sage of Literature". They are also regarded as the image of traditional literati by later generations, but the truth is surprising. In fact, he is also a great man who can hold a tripod.

Legend has it that Confucius' strength is even more surprising, which is enough to break the literati's saying that "the power of the literati is without the power to tie a chicken." "Liezi Shuofu" records that "Confucius's strength can expand the gate of the country." Pulling means lifting. The gate bolts of ordinary cities weigh hundreds of kilograms, which requires several people to work together. The gate bolts of the capital will only be heavier, and Confucius can actually lift them up by his own strength, which shows that his strength is quite strong.

The records in "Huainanzi·Zhushi Xun" are even more outrageous, saying: "Confucius's wisdom is more intelligent than Feng Hong, and his courage is more than Meng Ben. He is very capable of rushing to the Jiao Tu and attacking the city gate." Meng Ben was a warrior in the pre-Qin period. He was famous all over the world for his strength. He did not avoid dragons when traveling in the water, and did not avoid tigers and wolves when traveling in the land. Confucius worked equally well and his skills were extremely strong. His running speed was able to catch up with hares outdoors.
