King of Song

Chapter 197 Debriefing Bianjing
The unexpected result was also unexpected by Su Shi.

They have already adopted the method of secret rehearsal, and have given the officials and Wang Xianggong enough time to deal with the crisis. No one expected that the matter would be exposed so quickly, causing an uproar in an instant.

No wonder the official Longyan was furious, this time it was justified and he couldn't tell why, a good thing turned out like this.

That's all for himself, after all, he followed the procedures from the beginning to the end, even if the Fuyang County case was made known to everyone, the emperor had no reason to blame him.

But Lin Zhao was different, especially the memorial on the disadvantages of the Young Crop Law, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials and Wang Xianggong.

For such a result, Su Shi was far less shocked than Lin Zhao.Maybe he didn't have much expectations for Wang Anshi, or maybe he knew Wang Anshi better.It is also possible that Su Shi never had any hope for the reform from the very beginning!
No hope, no disappointment!
It's just that, Su Shi was a little worried about Lin Zhao's future!

After Zhao Yan heard the news, he also sighed sadly. Although he had never participated in this incident, after all, it happened under his own jurisdiction, and he always had responsibility.

As for Lin Zhao, it is even more regrettable.

His recent career must have been affected, and it would be good for young people to encounter more hardships, but now he can only comfort himself in this way.

On the ground in Hangzhou, many people were worried about Lin Zhao's future, even the young Wang Chaoyun.

"Big Brother, I'm sorry, I got you into trouble!" Wang Chaoyun was very happy to have his revenge, but he was a little sad when he heard what happened to Lin Zhao.Especially knowing from some people intentionally or unintentionally that this matter has something to do with him, Wang Chaoyun felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Zhao looked at Wang Chaoyun who was wearing filial piety, his eyes were full of tears, he was so pitiful, and comforted him softly, "It's okay, Chaoyun doesn't have to worry, it's you, let's be sad!"

The little girl was really pitiful, first her father died, and her mother became ill because of excessive grief, and then passed away.But in just over a month, Wang Chaoyun changed from a carefree little girl with a happy life to an orphan.

Wang Chaoyun nodded slightly. Although he was young, he was exceptionally strong. Lin Zhao firmly believed that he could survive.The little girl reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, her eyes seemed to be a little stubborn!

"Then where will you live in the future? Do you still have uncles and brothers at home?" Both parents died suddenly, and Wang Chaoyun's life is inevitably worrying.

Wang Chaoyun shook his head lightly and said, "There are no uncles or brothers, but...but sister Runzhi has agreed to let me stay by her side."

Lin Zhao originally thought that if the little girl was really homeless, he would find a way to help her.Unexpectedly, Su Shi's wife, Wang Runzhi, had already taken the lead.Presumably it was Su Shi who saw that he was in a state of desperation and offered to help.That's fine, Wang Zhaoyun and Wang Run's sisters will be called each other in the future, and Su Shi will also meet every day, a marriage should be facilitated!

"Thank you, big brother. When I grow up in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness!" Wang Chaoyun was truly grateful to Lin Zhao.

"Don't worry about it, just live in Hangzhou!" Lin Zhao didn't care about this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After returning from the West Lake, Lin Zhao said to Meng Ruoying, "After the cotton harvest this year, give those villagers more food and money, and their life will be difficult in the future..."

"This time you..." Meng Ruoying also knew that Lin Zhao had caused a disaster this time.

Lin Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's fine, it's just that the affairs of Qiantang County may be out of control in the future..."

The implication is very clear, Qiantang county magistrate may have done his best, as to whether he will be dismissed from office or appointed elsewhere, it is all possible.

Of course, Lin Zhao thinks the latter is more likely, after all, he did not make any mistakes in fact.In short, no matter what the result is, everything is coming soon!

Seeing this, Meng Ruoying nodded lightly and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of the food distribution and cotton purchases!"

"Yeah!" Lin Zhao nodded and said, "No matter what I do, I'm afraid you will have to stay in Hangzhou for a while in the future. After all, our tea plantation, cotton, and winemaking workshops have just started. It’s getting better, but it’s going to depend on these businesses to make a living!”

While talking, Lin Zhao chuckled. Although it was just a joke, Meng Ruoying couldn't help being touched.There is a saying that companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger. It can be said that Lin Zhao is very important to him for how many important things he has done for the officials and Wang Xianggong in the past.In the past, they went to great lengths to counter the rebellion and sent envoys to enemy countries, but now?
However, because of the harsh words, his attitude towards Lin Zhao became much colder, and he completely felt like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.From this point alone, she felt dissatisfied with Lin Zhao.At the same time, she also felt the danger. As a woman, she hoped that her loved one would be in a safe place and not suffer from ups and downs.

Although she really wanted to stay with Lin Zhao and become a rich and idle man, Meng Ruoying knew in her heart that her idea was too selfish.Lin Zhao is a person with insight and dreams. His life is destined to be full of vigor and ups and downs. It is impossible for him to be mediocre.

So, the only thing I can do is to be by his side, help him solve the problem as much as possible, and pray and bless him at the same time.

"Don't worry, I will take care of these things!" Meng Ruoying looked like a strong woman. She used to manage the Meng family's huge property in an orderly manner, but now she wholeheartedly takes care of everything between her and Lin Zhao.Of course, the shrewd Miss Meng was always just a well-behaved little girl in front of Lin Lang!

Although the court didn't have a definite order to move him, Lin Zhao knew in his heart and had a strong premonition that it would be a matter of time before he moved.Just like the emperor's attitude, Zhao Xu didn't blame Lin Zhao from the beginning to the end, but it can be inferred from some other things.

Sure enough, in June of the third year of Xining, Emperor Zhao Xu's edict arrived in Hangzhou, and Xuan Linzhao went to Bianjing to report on his duties, and he was appointed otherwise!
Expected results, not surprising at all!
However, many people understand that this is the fate of offending Wang Xianggong. In the past two years, a bright new star in the officialdom of Song Dynasty will fall like this.

Some people regret, some people sigh with emotion, and some people gloat!
Lu Huiqing was the first to get the news from the Ministry of Education. She was relieved and excited at the same time!

After a series of chances and coincidences coupled with subtle pushes, Lin Zhao finally stumbled and fell out of favor in front of the officials and Wang Xianggong.

As long as he falls out of favor, then Lin Zhao's official career will inevitably decline, and will change from being brilliant to being unknown.

Lu Huiqing had already made up her mind, as soon as Lin Zhao fell, she would find a way to avenge her younger brother Lu Shengqing!
However, Sanlang and Lu Heqing seemed to be even more anxious, and said anxiously, "Brother, now Lin Zhao is a dog in the water, should we..."

Lu Huiqing shook his head and said: "Don't act too hastily. This time the officials and Wang Xianggong are really dissatisfied with him, but after all, the disposal is still unclear. The post of Qiantang county magistrate is gone, but what other arrangements will be made? It's hard to say now, so Don't act rashly for now. You may not know that although Lin Zhao fell out of favor with Mr. Wang this time, he was praised and appreciated by a group of conservative veterans at the same time..."

"Hmph, it's really cheap for this kid..." Lu Heqing was indignant!

Lu Huiqing shook her head and said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, so don't worry, just wait and see how the officials plan to use him!"

"Yes!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
In the city of Hangzhou, Zhao Bian and Su Shi sighed regretfully, Lin Zhao lost his official post after all.

Although it's not a definite dismissal, but this has another appointment... What could it be?Who can tell?Maybe once they return to Bianjing, they may be immediately left out in the cold.

It's a pity that such a young talent is so good, with good ability and political achievements, especially a sincere heart for the people, which is really commendable.To be honest, Zhao Bian and Su Shi were really reluctant to part with this excellent subordinate.

The situation in Hangzhou is very bad. Thanks to Lin Zhao supporting the situation, it seems to be thriving. If there is no Lin Zhao in the future, I don’t know what it will be like?Think about it, the pressure in the future will definitely be much greater!
"Don't be sad in Dongyang. Go back to Bianjing first. If you need anything, you can go to Ziyou for help. I will write to him!" Su Shi was very enthusiastic, and even wrote to Su Zhe to ask him to take care of him. Lin Zhao.

Zhao Bian didn't say anything, but secretly he must say hello to his old friends, and it's not difficult to take care of Lin Zhao.However, Zhao Yan's thoughts were obviously far away, and there were vague and unclear suspicions in his heart. If these suspicions were true, then this incident might not be a bad thing for Lin Zhao.

"Dongyang, look at things a little more. Some issues of principle must be to stick to one's beliefs and obey the arrangements of one's heart. You are doing the right thing!" Mrs. Zhao once used this sentence to comfort him, and now she is passing it on to Lin Zhao.What Zhao Yan is most worried about is that Lin Zhao will have a knot in his heart. If he can't figure it out in his heart, it is not a good thing to be depressed for a long time.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, both of you, let nature take its course, I'm in a good state of mind!"

"It's so good, the old man is more at ease, and handle everything carefully." Zhao Yan said: "Dongyang is a talented person, and he will have great achievements in the future!"

"Then thank you, my lord, for your good words!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Next to the West Lake, on the Leifeng Pagoda, take another look at the beautiful West Lake.

After a year and a half, I still have to say goodbye to this beautiful place!

Here, Lin Zhao experienced life and death, experienced honor and disgrace, reaped growth, and reaped love.

West Lake is a good place for him, and he has left the most beautiful memories!

This time back to Bianjing, because Meng Ruoying had to sit in Hangzhou to take care of business, Gu Yuelun couldn't bear her being alone, so she stayed with her sister Ruoying in a very good manner, and the only one who could really accompany Lin Zhao back to Bianjing was Mu Sihong!
However, before that, Lin Zhao decided to take the three girls back to Jiangning first.I have read a lot about going back to visit some old people, and now I finally have a chance.

Anyway, it just happened to be on the way, so I just lingered in Jiangning for a few days, and then returned to Bianjing!

Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun are naturally very happy about this, and they will part ways in Jiangning, and then go north and south respectively.

Before leaving, Hangzhou and many people rushed to see them off!
Last year's heavy rain disaster, Qiantang County's disaster relief lasted for five months, and many people were saved, so I am grateful to Lin Zhao.There is also the food price war, which warms the hearts of the people in Qiantang County, so when they learned that County Magistrate Lin was leaving, they were really reluctant to part!

In fact, this was just the beginning. When the new county magistrate arrived, he began to implement the Green Crop Law meticulously.Only then did the people of Qiantang County realize how good and great the original magistrate Lin was!Of course, these are all later!
In June, the boat docked at the dock. When Lin Zhao boarded the boat and left, there were many people seeing him off.

Cai Jing appeared relatively late, and the departure time was very close!I don't know if it's because he's busy, or for some other reason...

Although it was Lin Zhao who offended Longyan this time, Cai Jing was also affected, and Yuhang County was also affected.

Cai Jing was somewhat conflicted. He agreed with most of Lin Zhao's views and admired Lin Zhao's fearless courage.Originally, I was full of expectations for the official family and Wang Xianggong, but I didn't expect to get such a result.

To be honest, Cai Jing was a little disappointed and puzzled, and even had the urge to go to school, but he held back in the end.After all, official career is very important in his mind, so it is necessary to keep a little distance from Lin Zhao...

After all, I have worked together for a long time, and I have had many contacts with Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao is a righteous person, and I admire him so much!Lin Zhao's departure from Qiantang County vaguely made Cai Jing feel sad when the rabbit died!Of course, it is also appropriate to come to say goodbye as a colleague...

"Brother Dongyang, take care when you return to Bianjing, I hope everything is fine!" Cai Jing's mood was a bit complicated, and he didn't know what to say, so his words were very simple!
Lin Zhao nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, Yuan Chang, for your concern!"

Cai Jing said: "Brother Dongyang, please speak up if Cai Jing is useful in the future!

"Many, thank you Yuan Chang!" Only then did Lin Zhao discover that Cai Jing also had a righteous side!
Before parting, Cai Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "There is something I have been thinking about telling Brother Dongyang, but unfortunately I forget it every time I think about it."

"What's the matter? Yuan Chang, but it's okay to say!"

Cai Jingdao: "Do you still remember the nunnery where we first met? The one outside Yingtianfu City. After saying goodbye to Brother Dongyang that day, I once met a layman who looked very similar to Brother Dongyang..."

"There are other things...?"

Cai Jing smiled and said: "I just remembered, so I just mentioned that if you pass by Yingtian Mansion this time, Brother Dongyang can go and have a look!"

"Okay, thank you so much Yuan Chang!"
