King of Song

Chapter 175 The Emperor Used
Emperor Zhao Xu opened the secret report, read it carefully, and his face gradually became gloomy!
He knew everything about Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao's actions in Hangzhou!
And in more detail and clarity than anyone has ever known.Because he has the most direct source of news around Lin Zhao, and that is Su An!

Su An was from the Forbidden Army and was also a member of the Imperial City Division. Lin Zhao was not very clear about this, but he knew a general idea.The first time I went to Liaodong may be a chance encounter, and I am familiar with books and swords, but this time in Hangzhou, it is not so simple!
The emperor just asked him to help?Lin Zhao doesn't think so, they both know each other well, it's just a tacit understanding!There is a saying that the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, anyway, it doesn't matter if you walk upright.

What's more, this matter is beyond my control, so I have to let nature take its course.It may be a good thing for the emperor to keep track of his movements at any time, so that he can rest assured!
For example, this time!
Zhao Xu can clearly grasp Lin Zhao's every move in Hangzhou!
Now he has received the most detailed report, which is almost [-]% to [-]% of the real facts, and some things have been ignored, such as some people helping Lin Zhao to find out news and so on.

Of course, the delivery of the memorial was a bit slow this time, except that it had something to do with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the difficult roads.There are also some people who intentionally procrastinated inseparably, but Zhao Xu didn't know it.

In other words, the emperor is the most deceitful person in the world. After all, he spent almost all of his life in the palace, a place the size of a palm.All things can only be known with the help of outsiders, it is too strange to the outside world!

After Zhao Xu read the secret report, he knew that the two most promising young talents, Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao, actually confronted each other in Hangzhou, and it was a big fight, and the result was a bit serious.

The emperor was a little angry about this, why did he get to this point?
Especially after reading the detailed content, Su An recorded very carefully, and all the ins and outs and clues were clear, which allowed him to understand the whole process intuitively.

Because Su An himself participated in it, and Zhao Xu believed in his loyalty and neutrality, he fully believed in the authenticity of this memorial.

For Lin Zhao's actions, the emperor was not too angry.After all, County Magistrate Lin is considered a public mind, and he didn't take bribes and pervert the law.Zhao Xu is quite satisfied with Lin Zhao's performance in Hangzhou all the time. The only complaints are the young crop method and Chang Pingcang.

Cai Jing's activities in Yuhang County were in full swing, but Lin Zhao remained calm.There is also the opportunity to use the regular position to play a price war. Although there is a reason for the incident, it is still a bit suspenseful.Especially in order to cope with Zhang Mingyuan's inspection, he actually came up with such a method, it's a good thing he thought of it.

It's really thrilling, even though it's a good intention, but it's really going to be revealed, how should it end?At that time, he will have to be caught again, which is really worrying.

But these were all forced out by Lu Huiqing and his brother!

Relatively speaking, Zhao Xu was more annoyed by Lu Huiqing, because he actually took advantage of him!
Zhao Xu suddenly remembered that one day Lu Huiqing came to speak, saying that the third division wanted to check the grain in Changping warehouses in various places.At that time, I thought it was just the intentional obstruction of conservative officials, and Lu Huiqing was helpless, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

What did Zhang Mingyuan do in Hangzhou?What can be achieved?It is clear at a glance.Lu Huiqing used the third division, but also used herself.

A courtier actually took advantage of the emperor!
There have been many such things in the past dynasties. Many people like to use the emperor's knife to kill people. After all, this knife is the sharpest.But once the emperor finds out, it's another matter...

Who would like to be taken advantage of?Ordinary people are angry, let alone the emperor?Therefore, using the emperor itself is the rhythm of death, and one needs to be very cautious.

Lu Huiqing was careless, he didn't know that the emperor had set eyes and ears around Lin Zhao.The eyes and ears did not cause any trouble to Lin Zhao, but he discovered his little trick!
Think I'm being fooled?The emperor Zhao Xu who was used was very angry.I thought that Lu Huiqing was a loyal young talent, but I didn't expect that he was also such a despicable villain.So reuse him to promote him, but in the end he treats himself like this, Zhao Xu, a young man, feels hurt.

Zhao Xu was thinking in turn, if Lu Huiqing and other cronies were like this, what about the others?In this huge hall, how many people are sincere?How many people are still using their brains, wanting to use themselves, or how many times have they been used?Zhao Xu's mood suddenly became a little sad.

On the contrary, Lin Zhao, although his methods are incomprehensible and crooked, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he is aboveboard.This made Zhao Xu very relieved, at least this one was right!

On the other hand, Zhao Xu was a little annoyed that Lu Huiqing didn't know the general idea.Qiantang County is the place where he hand-picked the Green Crops Law to try out. With the grain market in such a situation, how should Lin Zhao implement it?The two important officials who implemented the new law made Hangzhou a mess, and they would inevitably be accused by conservative officials. At that time, he would lose face as the emperor!
Zhao Xu wanted to punish Lu Huiqing, but the emperor's reason told him - he couldn't do this!First of all, Lu Huiqing is really a talent, he can be used in the reform and can help Wang Anshi, and in the situation of talent shortage, he must make the best use of him.Secondly, although Lu Huiqing used himself, his loyalty to the Song Dynasty has not changed, so this person can still be used for the time being.What's more, it's easier to use a courtier with taint and handle.

We must know that in history, there are many high-ranking ministers who have been jealous of the emperor.In order to reassure the emperor, one of the methods they usually use is - self-pollution!For example, during the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister Xiao Hede was highly respected and capable, so Liu Bang was suspicious of him.Seeing this situation, Xiao He sent his family to occupy other people's fertile land.After this incident, Liu Bang was completely relieved of Xiao He.Imperfect courtiers, the emperor can rest assured when using them!

Furthermore, even if Zhao Xu wanted to punish Lu Huiqing, it would be difficult to do so now.After all, he personally issued the edict, and he was just promoted as Prince Zhongyun, a storyteller in Chongzheng Palace.If he were to be punished and punished at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of himself?Could it be that I don't know people well?

Few emperors are willing to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, and so is Zhao Xu. The majesty of the emperor must not be damaged.So you can't clean up Lu Huiqing, but if you don't give him a look, you will always feel uncomfortable.

Why did Lu Huiqing dare to be so arrogant?Isn't he the proudest and proudest position to be the author of the third department's regulations and detailed texts?Well, let you completely lose this proud capital!What's more, Lin Zhao has already killed one of his brothers, which can be regarded as a pain for him.

Originally, Zhao Xu was still embarrassing Han Qi's Shangshu how to deal with it. Perhaps just a moment ago, he was still determined to confront such veterans.But now he has changed his mind. Since the establishment of the Third Division and the Regulations Division overlap with the functions of the Third Division, and the name is not justified, then it will be abolished!

Such conservative ministers have nothing to say!After all, during this period of time, most of the doubts and attacks on the new law have been concentrated on the establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations Department.

Well, I will follow your wishes, and I hope you can save face, this is barely a political deal!At the same time, it can also slightly suppress Lu Huiqing!

Of course, this matter must not affect the implementation of the reform.If the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Three Divisions is gone, then some compensation should be given to the new law.

It's been a while since Wang Anshi participated in political affairs, and it's time for Xuan Ma to pay homage to the Prime Minister!

Lin Zhao never expected that some of his actions in Hangzhou would unintentionally have such a subtle impact on the court situation. Perhaps this is the so-called butterfly effect!
As for his private mobilization of grain in the Changping warehouse and the delay in the implementation of the Green Crop Law, these made Emperor Zhao Xu quite critical.

But it's all understandable. Su An has already reported that Lin Zhao had applied for the shuffle before, but the post boat sank accidentally. The Ministry of Works can also confirm this.Zhao Bian, the magistrate of Hangzhou, also wrote a letter stating that Lin Zhao had reported it to himself, and it was indeed the case.

It can be seen from this that Lin Zhao did not make his own claims, but clearly defined his own position.Zhao Xu was very pleased about this, and at the same time he was curious, Lin Zhao's ability is not small!With such a strong label of the new law on his body, how could he make the always conservative Zhao Yan appreciate it so much and help him so much?I heard that Su Shi has a good relationship with him, it seems that this kid really has a lot of skills!
Zhao Xu didn't care about this. Although he advocated reform, he felt a little uncomfortable with those conservative ministers who often advised and obstructed them.But as an emperor, he didn't want the court to have obvious party disputes.Of course, small-scale and limited ones are still possible, and it is best to have fun.

These are not important, but I just hope that Lin Zhao will start to work on it as soon as possible. The implementation of the young crop law is the most important thing!

As for the grievances between Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao, Zhao Xu was not worried, and believed that Wang Anshi would not sit idly by.Whoever wants to go too far will have to strike...

After this incident, Zhao Xu, the young emperor, became more mature mentally.He was more aware of the thoughts of the courtiers and the position of the relationship between himself and the ministers.He also became more and more aware of the fact that to be an emperor is doomed to be alone!
use?snort!Zhao Xu snorted coldly, and there will be no more from now on.In the world, only the emperor can use his ministers!

However, he didn't realize that it was not only Lu Huiqing who used this matter, but Lin Zhao also used the emperor!

Through the existence of Su An, the most real situation was reflected to the emperor, which in turn dealt the most fundamental blow to Lu Huiqing.In fact, among all Lin Zhao's tricks, this one is the most ruthless!

Lu Huiqing didn't know about this, and the emperor Zhao Xu didn't notice it either. It can only show that Lin Zhao's inadvertent technique is more natural and more clever!
