King of Song

Chapter 295
From Chang'an to Luoyang, there is a Tongguan in the middle, along the Weishui River and the Yellow River, it is almost a straight line, and the distance is not very far!
Although Zhang Zai is a bit old and not in good health, he is not suitable for fast trekking.

But when it comes to the lives and wealth of the students, the whole family of Qingjian City, not to mention Lin Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, really weighs a lot.

Back then at the Luoshui Tianjin Qiaotou, Shao Yong's cozy nest banquet, Lin Zhao's remarks about "heart" had a great impact on him, shocked him, and caused him a lot of thinking.

In fact, when Zhang Zai returned to Chang'an this time, he originally planned to devote himself to academic research, especially the part inspired by Lin Zhao, and he didn't want to be interrupted by the sudden arrival of a student who was a teacher!

From a small point of view, Lin Zhao is collaborating with the enemy and treason?Apart from the so-called evidence, Zhang Zai is unwilling to believe it.Such a learned, young and promising hero, would do such a thing?Although he only met once, he has a good impression of Lin Zhao.A person who dares to offend Wang Xianggong and bluntly speaks out about the disadvantages of the Young Miao Law, will he be easily moved by glory and wealth?A mercenary scumbag?

Mr. Zhang Zai did not believe it!In addition, Sima Guang, Shao Yong and others all spoke highly of Lin Zhao, which further strengthened his opinion.

More importantly, the teacher's way is almost something he watched growing up, cultivated and educated by himself, and he knows his personality best.He absolutely believed in his students, and it would be nonsense to say that Zhong Shidao colluded with Lin Zhao to treason the country!
Without this certainty, Mr. Zhang Zai would not be a figure like the great leader of the Song Dynasty.

From the perspective of the big picture, what Zhong Shidao said about Li Fugui's many deeds in Gyeongju is even more appalling.People who act perversely, frame Zhongliang, and disregard the interests of the country are really hateful.If any one of these things is pulled out, it will be shocking and outrageous!
These things, as long as a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, cannot stand idly by, especially such a figure who has the world in mind.It is more responsible to participate in punishing evil and promoting good.

So Zhang Zai didn't dare to delay this matter, and rushed to Luoyang City as fast as he could shake off a bunch of old bones.

What can you do in Luoyang?What role it can play, perhaps for a while, Zhang Zai himself made it clear.

At least Luoyang has Sima Guang and Shao Yong, they are very influential and capable people!
Especially Sima Guang, after all, had served as a Hanlin scholar and was a close minister of the emperor. He had a greater influence in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and it was much easier to sue the imperial court.

More importantly, he wanted to ask two friends to help analyze the matter and see how to deal with it?
When necessary, Sima Guang can be used to rescue, help, and even intercede!
When we arrived in Luoyang City, we went straight to Xijing Liushou Mansion, only to learn that Sima Guang had gone to Shao Mansion!

Mr. Zhang Zai did not stop, and hurried to the bank of the Luo River, the comfortable nest by the Tianjin Bridge!

At this moment, Luoyang in the Central Plains is in the season of chrysanthemums blooming, and the chrysanthemums in Shao Mansion, a comfortable place, are blooming well, so Shao Yong invited Sima Guang to come in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums.

As for the real purpose, only Shao Yong himself knows!

At the moment the two are walking in the garden to enjoy the flowers, Shao Yong said with a smile: "It is often said that Luoyang peonies are the best in the world, but in fact this chrysanthemum is also blooming extraordinarily gorgeous!"

"That's it!" Sima Guang laughed and said, "But it's also inseparable from Brother Yao's geomantic omen!"

"Haha, Brother Junshi was joking!"

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Where, Tianjin Qiaotou was the most prosperous place in Tang Dynasty. It's not far from the opposite side, but it's the Imperial Palace. Can the Fengshui here be bad?"

"Haha, I'm taking advantage of this?" Shao Yong said with a smile, "The weather has been good recently and it's still warm. If it was placed in Chang'an, or farther to the northwest, it would have withered in the autumn wind."

"That's right!" Sima Guang replied, his heart skipped a beat.Recently, when Shao Yong talked with himself, he often mentioned the Northwest intentionally or unintentionally. Is this the rhythm again today?
Sure enough, after a few words, Shao Yong asked: "By the way, the northwest seems to be restless recently!"

"Yeah, it's very uneasy!" Sima Guang said in a deep voice, "The bloody battle in Dashun City wiped out the entire army. Although Li Fugui took back the fortress. But... Lin Zhao was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason..."

Speaking of this, Sima Guang was also a little puzzled and sighed repeatedly.Because Lin Zhao mentioned the disadvantages of the Young Crop Law, Sima Guang was very impressed with him and liked him very much.

That's why when Lin Zhao went to Hehuang Tubo and passed through Luoyang, he gave him such preferential treatment.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen after only two or three months. Sima Guang was really unacceptable and unbelievable!

Shao Yong frowned and said, "Where is Lin Zhao now?"

"In the prison in Qingzhou, the officials have issued an order to escort him back to Bianjing for trial!" Sima Guang replied softly.

Over there, Master Shao Yong's expression was a little wandering, and the Luo River in the distance was also calm, but there was already a turbulent sea in his heart.

The same is true of the disaster of war, and the same is true of the disaster of prison!
Everything fits, is it just a coincidence?Shao Yong asked himself in his heart!
The facts were there, making it hard for him to deny them.But it's hard to believe, after all, the country is stable now, and the Song Dynasty is long, so it's unlikely that there will be any extraordinary actions!

I can't understand it!Master Shao seems to have fallen into a strange circle of thinking!

But he is still very confident in his vision, maybe this is God's will!As for what is wrong, one day it will be clear.

Sima Guang couldn't help being curious. Every time Shao Yong talked about the Northwest, he always asked about Lin Zhao intentionally or unintentionally.

What is so special about this young man?Let Master Shao Yong care so much?Sima Guang was really curious!Especially after thinking about Master Shao's profession, it is easier to imagine.But Sima Niu has always been a gentleman, so he will definitely not have any rebellious thoughts!

"Brother Junshi, do you believe that Lin Zhao will do such a thing?" Shao Yong asked softly.

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "I personally don't want to believe it, but everything must be based on evidence. If he did commit treasonous acts, there is nothing he can do if he doesn't believe it!"

"But in many cases, it's hard to talk about evidence..." The meaning behind Shao Yong's words was already very clear.

Sima Guang looked at each other in astonishment, he could think of some things, but he couldn't get his hands on it, and if he didn't understand it, he couldn't jump to conclusions, and it wasn't appropriate to speak out.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang Zai, out of breath, arrived!

"Mr. Hengqu, didn't you go back to Chang'an? Why did you suddenly go back to Luoyang?" Sima Guang and Shao Yong were a little surprised!

"Of course there is something urgent!" Zhang Zai took a breath, drank a cup of tea, and then explained what Zhong Shidao said.

Sima Guang and Shao Yong were shocked when they heard this. Is this the situation in Qingzhou?
"In this way, both Lin Zhao and the Zhong family were wronged?"

Zhang Zai said in a deep voice: "I can guarantee Uncle Yi's character, so I trust him, but Li Fugui..."

Kind of teacher way, the name is Uncle Yi!

"Mr. Hengqu's student character is naturally fine!" Shao Yong seemed to be sure of this point.

Sima Guang said in a deep voice: "Then this means that Li Fugui is creating the unjust case?"

"Very likely, they are the same as Zhong Yong before!"

Shao Yong took the opportunity to say: "This matter is really outrageous, I don't know what brother Junshi thinks? Do you have any plans?"

The implication is obvious, will you, Sima Guang, come forward?
Sima Guang said: "If it can be proved that it is Li Fugui who created the unjust case, he will speak up and impeach him. We will naturally believe Mr. Hengqu's high-spirited words, but we can't count them in the court and the court! "

"Uncle Yi has already returned to Qingjian City. I believe that General Zhong Er will not sit still. It is impossible that there is no evidence in the northwest!" Zhang Zai really hoped that Sima Guang would come forward. big impact.

"Mr. Hengqu, don't worry!" Sima Guang said, "Once there is evidence, Guang will immediately go to the prison. When necessary, Guang will come forward and ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the matter in the northwest. Both Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao are rare. How can a young leader suffer injustice because of this?"

Sima Guang was also out of caution, which is completely understandable.With his guarantee like this, Zhang Zai will feel more at ease!

"Brother Yaofu!"

"Ok?"

Sima Guang suddenly called Shao Yong and said, "Brother Yao, can you please make a divination to calculate whether Lin Zhao's visit is good or bad, how about it?"

Mr. Zhang Zai was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Sima Guang was suddenly interested in this.

"Mr. Hengqu, don't mind, I'm just curious!" Sima Guang's move was not because he suspected that what Zhang Zai or Zhong Shidao said was false, but because he was curious.As for the source of curiosity, it is Master Shao Yong!
"Okay!"

Shao Yong smiled, then took out a few copper coins, scattered them on the stone table in the garden, glanced at them, and said: "Good luck!"

Sima Guang and Shao Yong looked at each other and smiled lightly, unfathomable!On the contrary, Mr. Hengqu, Zhang Zai, felt a little foggy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ying Tianfu, Jing and Lay Shi were very depressed, and their hearts were full of worries!
How can a mother like her feel at ease when her son is in prison?
I have been haggard a lot these days!Fortunately, You Mengruo was also with Gu Yuelun, so I felt a little more comforted.

The daughter-in-law is as beautiful as a flower, smart and virtuous, and she is very satisfied.It would be a much happier thing if I could see my son being married with her?It would be even better if he could report a white and fat grandson!
It's a pity that the safety of his son can't be guaranteed at this moment, Jing and the layman couldn't help shaking their heads slightly, their hearts were full of worries.

From a distance, Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun were asking for a lottery in the Buddhist hall!

Meng Ruoying closed her eyes and reverently shook the bamboo stick tube, and soon a bamboo stick fell out.

"How about it?"

Gu Yuelun picked up the bamboo stick and took a look, then said with a smile, "Sister Ruoying, don't worry, good luck!"

Good luck? !Jinghe Layman heard it from a distance, and suddenly felt a lot easier!
