King of Song

Chapter 498 Chapter [-] Wen Yanbo Godson

Wen Yanbo, the newly appointed General Judge of Daming Mansion, Wen Yanbo, Xuan Fu envoy of Hebei Road, finally arrived.

After receiving the appointment, leave the old place at an appropriate speed and come to the Daming Mansion.Obviously, Wen Yanbo had thought it over carefully, and he was very strict about the speed and timing.

After all, Hebei Road is not peaceful at the moment, and it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to see the defeated Mr. Han. Although Han Qi has collapsed, Mr. Wen does not think that he will be defeated.Although he wanted to clean up his network of relationships in Hebei, he didn't want to have an antagonism with Han Qi from the very beginning.With the task of clearing Hebei, it is not good to be too confrontational with Han Qi.

Wen Xianggong believes that if the time is a little longer, Han Qi will not be able to stay any longer.He definitely doesn't want to see himself, and he probably doesn't want to see Lin Zhao either!

But it's not easy to say, there is another variable in it, it is Lin Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Marquis of Weiyuan.

What happened in Bozhou, Wen Xianggong is naturally clear, through the appearance, the deep-seated things behind it naturally cannot be hidden from his eyes.

Lin Zhao was so good at it, he managed to settle so many people in Bozhou in a whirlwind, causing Han Xianggong a big loss, and he had nothing to say in the end.Killing someone's nephew, and then letting such a powerful person lose his position, is definitely a skill.Wen Yanbo couldn't help but shake his head slightly when Han Qi was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, with a half-smile.

However, like Han Qi's opinion, Wen Yanbo also believed that all this was actually the intention of the official Zhao Xu, and most of it was ordered by him.Lin Zhao is just an executor, and what he does is more beautiful, but it is also a little too much.Lin Zhao's real identity was a secret, they didn't know it, so they didn't expect Lin Shilang to have another purpose, so they could only speculate according to the so-called common sense, deviation is inevitable.

However, it is precisely because of this incident that it gives people a very good and timely reminder!

Zhao Xu is cutting off the power of the veteran!

Wen Yanbo couldn't help sighing that throughout the ages, the relationship between monarchs and ministers has never been better.The young emperor ascended to the throne relying on the support of the old ministers. In the end, in order to consolidate his power, he felt that the old ministers were in the way and would threaten the imperial power, so they almost cut off one by one.

Kindness and revenge?

Courtiers are not qualified to criticize the emperor, let alone show kindness to the emperor naively, this is an inevitable result.As long as the word "right" is tainted, such a situation is inevitable, and it can be regarded as a law.

Zhao Zongshi ascended to the throne with the support of a group of people, but unfortunately he had only been in office for four years, and he had not even stabilized his position, and he died before he had time to suppress the old officials.So this task was postponed as it should be, and it fell on Zhao Xu.It just so happened that this official, like his father, was a cold-tempered person, so his work in this regard became even more intensified.

What did Zhao Xu do when he came on stage?Wen Yanbo saw it all.

He, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Sima Guang and several other powerful and influential veterans were almost all demoted to the local area. The meaning is already obvious.Wen Yanbo sometimes felt that the reason why Zhao Xu reused Wang Anshi to carry out reforms was probably not just for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but did he intend to use this to attack veterans and control power?

This emperor is not simple, and the things he does are not simple.

Party struggles have existed since ancient times, and the emperor sometimes tolerated, or even condoned, the ministers below to fight with each other. Only in this way can they be divided and disintegrated, and they will be defeated one by one, and they will all be firmly in their hands.However, there must be a degree of party struggle, and the emperor must grasp this degree and have enough power to stabilize the situation.If something unexpected happens, at least you can control the situation.

But now in the Great Song Dynasty, the struggle between the old and new parties has become more and more intense, but what has Zhao Xu done?Still blindly supporting Wang Anshi, he didn't realize that the critical point of the struggle had already arrived.Under such circumstances, it has gradually been out of his control, but there are still no control measures.

Zhao Xu, somewhat like playing with fire and setting himself on fire!It's really hard to say what Song Jiangshan will be turned into by him?It also makes me a little worried!

Wen Yanbo knew it, but there were some things he couldn't say.With Zhao Xu's self-willedness, he can't listen to other people's persuasion at all, not to mention his own identity is also very sensitive.

Zhao Xu's action on Hebei Road this time is obviously to get rid of Han Qi, this is the rhythm of a complete liquidation!Has he really settled down?Can't the veterans who leave Bianjing tolerate it?

This is a signal, a signal that makes people feel a little dangerous.

Wen Yanbo felt a bit sad about Han Qi's end, and it might be his turn sometime.But the situation should be better than Han Qi's!

Although they are both prime ministers, Han Qi knows how to manage things better. In order to support Zhao Zongshi's ascension to the throne, Han Qi has recruited many people, and they are a very powerful political force.Coupled with the great honor of the Yingzong Dynasty, Han Qi's influence is second to none, so the degree of danger is naturally the highest.

Relatively speaking, I am more low-key. Since the beginning of the Yingzong Dynasty, my status and influence have begun to decline, and my influence in the court is definitely not as good as Han Xianggong.Moreover, Han Xianggong is also the most favored. Starting from him, he can act as a real threat, so as to kill chickens and monkeys.

That's right, Zhao Xu shouldn't be killing people, at least not in a short time.Han Qi here is a warning, as long as everyone is obedient, Zhao Xu will show respect to each other.

Furthermore, he is not as arrogant as Han Qi.If Han Qi took the initiative to soften the matter in Bozhou, maybe it would not be so serious. After all, his nephew is too incompetent, and he happened to meet such a ruthless character as Lin Zhao, so it would be strange if nothing happened.It can be seen that the education of nephews is still very important.

Fortunately, several of my sons are not bad, some of them passed the Jinshi exam, and several of them entered the Taixue, and the rest also devoted themselves to studying. Daredevil, utterly stupid.In particular, the sixth son, Wen Jifu, is the most hopeful seedling of the Wen family. Wen Yanbo does not hide his preference for him at all, and places high hopes on him.

Therefore, I always stay by my side and let him study hard. For example, when I came to Daming Mansion this time, I let him accompany me at the same time.People are still young, study hard, and there is no harm in accumulating temper.Wen Yanbo didn't want his son to be mixed with dudes and get those bad habits, and he didn't want his son to be an official too early, because good youngsters are easy to perish.

Simply keep more souvenirs by your side, let him study hard, whether it is knowledge or knowledge, especially the way of doing things for officials has improved, let's talk about it later!It is precisely because of Wen Yanbo's special care and careful teaching that Wen Jifu has become even better.It was only at the age of 28 that he came out to know Shanzhou as a member of the official department, Wailang, and became famous all over the world for a while, and even caused a storm in the court.Of course, 28 years old seems very young...

It's not that young people can't become officials. Isn't Lin Shilang a notable exception?

There was no mistaking it at all. When Xining met Daolin Zhao for the first time in the first year of Yuan Dynasty, Wen Xianggong realized that this son was extraordinary and had a bright future.In particular, there are many bright spots on his body, and it is precisely because of this that Wen Yanbo deliberately let his son get in touch with Lin Zhaoduo.

Today's facts prove that my original opinion is correct. Lin Zhao's performance is even better than expected, and the commotion on Hebei Road is enough to cause turmoil in the entire Song Dynasty.

He is also the storage of variables!
Would Han Qi just leave in such a dispirited way?Will he give Lin Zhao a counterattack before leaving?Will they still have some trouble on Hebei Road?
Wen Xianggong doesn't want to get involved, and it's better to stay out of some things.However, Wen Yanbo had a vague expectation in his heart, let's see how Lin Zhao would deal with it?Lin Zhao's ability to deflate his old colleague and rival Han Xianggong is not small, even surpassing his own.

It really is the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead!
It was precisely because of this consideration that Wen Yanbo delayed the schedule a little. Of course, it doesn't matter if the delay is too long, that would be slack.Furthermore, there are many things going on in Hebei Road, and the two issues of river management and defense of the Liao Kingdom are very urgent, so we can't go too far.

The Daming Mansion is still peaceful so far, which makes Wen Yanbo a little puzzled. When did Han Qi become so willing to fight and admit defeat?Is he helpless?
Such a situation is a bit strange!

Wen Xianggong shook his head repeatedly, which made Wen Jifu, who was in the same car, very puzzled, and asked, "Father, what are you thinking about? But the situation in Daming Mansion?"

"Yeah, it's very strange. Could it be that my prediction was wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Wen Jifu said, "Lin Zhao started to control the river without waiting for his father. Although it was a little inappropriate, it was just to hurry up and seize the opportunity..."

Wen Yanbo smiled helplessly and said, "Where are you thinking? Lin Zhao did the right thing. No matter what, he would never think about it as a father. Harnessing the river is a major matter for the country. How can it be delayed because of the interests of one or two people?" ? If so, what is the difference between us and Han Jun, Fan Jiyun and others?"

"My father taught me the lesson, my child will remember it!"

"Well! Remember, never be obsessed with temporary gains and losses, as it is easy to lose big because of small gains! Especially because of temporary gains, you can't plant the root of decline or ruin. People can't be too greedy!" Even so, Wen Yanbo still After teaching earnestly, he said leisurely: "Actually, this is a good thing. If it is true that I am here, it would be unbeautiful. Although the governance of the river is a great contribution, it can even be remembered in history. But at present, my family of writers, it is better to have less contribution like this. Better."

"What does father mean?" Wen Jifu shook his body and said in a low voice, "Is father worried that he will be suspected by officials like Han Qi?"

"Suspicion is inevitable. The matter of Han Qi is close at hand. Zhao Xu let him go and let me come. In addition to taking care of the mess on Hebei Road and completely pulling out Han Qi's roots, Zhao Xu deliberately let me see Han Qi's fate, and then obediently obey..." Wen Yanbo has experienced decades of ups and downs in the court, and he has long cultivated a pair of discerning eyes, and he can see through Zhao Xu's thoughts in a flash.

Wen Hefu also felt chills, he could vaguely feel his father's feeling of being too cold at a high place.At the same time, he also felt a bit of resentment towards Zhao Xu, the young emperor was too cold.

"It doesn't matter, he still has use for me now, as long as he keeps a low profile, it shouldn't matter." Wen Yanbo smiled. Although it was true, the words seemed to comfort his son, and even comfort himself.

Unless he retreats bravely, leaves the officialdom completely, and returns to his hometown after returning to his hometown, the emperor's suspicion is inevitable.Whether one day he will end up like Han Qi, Wen Yanbo himself can't say clearly, the road ahead is long and it is really unpredictable.But even so, they are all willing to continue to take risks.

Although he is already 60 or [-] years old, it seems inappropriate for him to give up his power and his current status to become an official.After decades of ups and downs, how can you be afraid of this little thing?Inadvertently, power and the experience of the past decades are nostalgic.Even a man with clear eyes like Wen Xianggong still couldn't retreat bravely in the true sense.In a word, I still can't let go!

Since it can't be done, we must be prepared for possible storms!
Wen Xianggong has already made plans, he will do his best for Hebei Road, he must stabilize the situation in a short time, and then hand over a clean Hebei Road to Zhao Xu, so that he will not be contaminated too much.Wen Yanbo didn't want to be Han Qi's second, and he didn't know if he would be spared with such a low-key avoidance method.

Zhao Xu has the right to make all decisions, so what will that kid do?Even Wen Yanbo, a veteran who has gone through three dynasties and read countless people, can't be sure.Zhao Xu is scarier than imagined, and his father is a virtue, maybe it was a mistake to let Zhao Zongshi be enthroned back then.

But what can be done?Emperor Renzong has no children, this guy is the most suitable candidate.When most people support him, can he be an exception?On the matter of establishing the crown prince, Wen Xianggong only persuaded Emperor Renzong to establish the crown prince many times. As for the candidate for the crown prince, he was not as active and enthusiastic as Han Xianggong.

Everything is in vain, and there is no room for change. Who made Emperor Renzong have no son?If there was another choice, what choice would it be at that time?

Forget it, it's been a long time, and it's futile to think about it, Wen Yanbo shook his head lightly, stopping his thoughts.

"Jifu, after arriving at the Daming Mansion, you and Lin Zhao have more contact!" After a while, Wen Xianggong's focus returned to his son.

"Yes!"

Wen Yanbo instructed: "I'm not asking you to have a relationship with him. It's not necessary. I want you to learn from him. You are the same age, and he is better than any of you."

"Yes, the baby will." Wen Jifu is very humble, and will not complain or feel jealous because of this.Anyway, this is an indisputable fact, and their contacts with Lin Zhao have never been cut off, and they have long been used to it.

"Father, Lin Zhao only needs to kill people in Bozhou, why use such brutal methods as trampling horses?" It's not necessary, and I don't understand Lin Zhao's intentions.In that case, it is normal to go straight to Bozhou and ask for execution, and it will not be criticized in the future.But Lin Zhao did not do this, but chose an extreme method.

"Yeah, it's quite puzzling to be a father. The situation at that time was really unnecessary..." Wen Yanbo was sure that Zhao Xu didn't mean that, and he didn't need to do anything to Han Qi's nephew, nor could it be too heavy.Then Lin Zhao can only make up his own mind, what is his purpose?Such a deceptive rhetoric can't hide it from Wen Xianggong at all.What the people want is fundamentally Lin Zhao's original goal, but why would he do that?

Therefore, it seems that there are not many things obtained. From the perspective of being an official, it is completely thankless, and there is no need for that!Could it be that Lin Zhao really just wanted to avenge those common people who died in vain?Such a heart of sincerity is really rare.But other than that, don't you have any other thoughts?

"There are many extraordinary things about Lin Zhao. You have to get in touch with him more and see if you can discover something. This will be good for your experience." With Wen Xianggong's current status and qualifications, one must see through a It's easy for the younger generation to be born late, but for Lin Zhao, Wen Yanbo shook his head lightly, this young man is too deep, he really can't see through it!Going to Hebei Road this time, I must have had a lot of contact with it, let's see if I can find anything!

"Yes!" Wen Jifu did not reject Lin Zhao's contact, but was very happy.On the one hand, they were good friends, on the other hand, Lin Zhao's special features really made him curious.

"Spring is coming soon, send some tonics to your fourth brother for my father, and let him take care of his health while studying!" Wen Xianggong is not completely partial, and cares more about his sons.Especially since the fourth son was about to take the imperial examination this year, Wen Yanbo was naturally more concerned.

He knew how much his son weighed, and it was not easy to become a student of the emperor if he wanted to be a Jinshi.But even so, Wen Yanbo didn't intend to use his energy for anything.It is not a good thing to use power for personal gain, and Wen Xianggong doesn't want to lose his security at the end of the day.Furthermore, it is harmful to pluck the seedlings to encourage them to grow.

Even if he tried to push his son to that position, would he be able to stay there?If there is any trouble caused by this, it will be a disaster for the world.

Everything is still going with the flow!

"Okay!" Wen Jifu agreed, thinking about when he would be able to take the imperial examination, the bird's wings had gradually hardened, and he was eager to try and jump out of the cage!
Wen Yanbo could see his son's thoughts, and said leisurely: "Jifu, don't worry, what is supposed to come will always come. Now you have to think about whether you will be able to do it? If you don't have a greater certainty to do it well, you must do it well." Don't be in a hurry to start, let alone aim too high!"

"Yes, what my father taught me is that my son will remember!" Wen Jifu finally understood that when he can let go, his father will take time for him.Before that, the only option is to study quietly, continuously accumulate strength and knowledge, and wait for the opportunity to come.

Talking like this, Wen Xianggong seems to have been educating his son all the way, and his thoughts have been far and deep.Before I knew it, I came to Daming Mansion.

And the servant of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Zhao, Marquis of Weiyuan, has been waiting in the Daming Mansion for many days, waiting for Mr. Wen Xianggong to drive him!
