King of Song

Chapter 503 Chapter [-] The rabbit is not dead, the fox is sad

"What? The prince and princess of the Liao Kingdom are in the Daming Mansion?" Wen Yanbo was shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes, I didn't expect it either, it was a very accidental discovery!" Lin Zhaosi thought about it, since Han Qi already knew about this matter, if he didn't have a countermeasure in advance, just in case.It is undoubtedly a very good idea to bring in Wen Xianggong. Firstly, Wen Yanbo has the qualifications and strength, and secondly, it can be regarded as the first step of cooperation with Wen Xianggong!

Wen Yanbo was silent for a short time at first, and Lin Zhao said that there was something embarrassing, but he never thought what trouble it would be.This matter is a bit tricky, Lin Zhao will tell himself now, fearing that the inside story is more than that.

"What does Dongyang mean?" Wen Yanbo speculated on Lin Zhao's thoughts. This young man had a somewhat unfathomable feeling, and it was really difficult to grasp his intentions.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "This is the trouble. The Yelujun brothers and sisters came to Song Dynasty privately, not through diplomatic relations between the two countries. How should we deal with it now? Yelu Hongji is just such a son, and he has detained the Liao Kingdom. People? But it will inevitably lead to disputes and conflicts, and war may be imminent.

It is not without purpose that Yelu Yixin deployed a large army in Youzhou, and even the Pishi army mobilized for drills. The purpose of the Khitan people is to support their crown prince and respond in time...or revenge, so how should we deal with this matter? Woolen cloth? "

"You mean to keep or let go, right?"

"That's right!" Lin Zhao said, "Should we detain them? Or let them go? Of course, let them go quietly, as if they had never appeared before, or send them to the Liao Kingdom with great fanfare. The prince and princess return to the country?"

"This..." Wen Yanbo said with a smile, "What important matter should be reported to the imperial court and let the officials decide!" Obviously, this matter is a bit tricky, and Wen Xianggong is also more cautious. If he can, he is not willing to go there This is muddy water.

"It stands to reason that it should be so, but..." Lin Zhao said with a troubled look on his face, "I have already met the Yelujun brothers and sisters. He claimed that he went south this time just to experience the elegance of the Song Dynasty. Afterwards, he plans to return to the north, and he is about to leave now. It may be too late to report to Bianjing... Besides, if this matter is reported, it will be known to the whole court and even the whole country.

At that time, there will definitely be different opinions, and there will be a lot of noise. How will Yelu Jun think then?How will the Liao Congress act?To this day, the Liao side has kept silent, obviously not wanting to make it public.so……"

"It's a bit embarrassing. It's just that Yelujun is here. If you don't report to the officials about such an important matter, but you don't report it if you know it..." Wen Yanbo already understood that Lin Zhao wanted to kill before reporting. This is not a good sign .Although he has the right to act cheaply, but it is limited to river governance and involves the relationship between Song and Liao. How can he make decisions without authorization?By the way, this is the responsibility of my Hebei Road Xuanfu envoy, so it is reasonable for Lin Zhao to pull himself on!It's just that things are not that simple, right?

Wen Yanbo always felt that there might be something else hidden in it.

"Dongyang, if you say something rebellious, you know about it. If you don't say anything, it's not difficult to send Yelujun brothers and sisters away quietly, right? Why do you have to tell this old man?" Mr. Wen looked at Lin Zhao with a half-smile, His eyes were full of deep search.

Sure enough, he is old enough to see through the crux of the matter at a glance. Lin Zhao said calmly, "This is the second tricky point. Yelujun met a person privately when he came to the Daming Mansion!"

"Oh? So, besides you, there are other people who know his whereabouts?" Wen Yanbo probably understood that this was a fire that couldn't be contained, and Lin Shilang had no choice but to do so.In order not to fall into the crime of failing to report when the time comes, this is asking myself to be his witness!

"Yes!"

"who?"

"Han Qi!"

Click!Wen Yanbo's expression froze when he heard this name!Standing beside him, Wen Jifu clearly noticed the slight shaking of his father's body, obviously quite shocked.

Things are more complicated than imagined, and much more complicated.Lin Zhao is really not simple, he is much stronger than imagined, he is not just asking himself to testify.He also knows what the consequences will be if this incident becomes a big deal!
"It's him?" Wen Xianggong tried his best to calm down and asked softly.

"That's right!" Lin Zhao affirmed, "At that time someone saw Han Qi going out in plain clothes and talking for a long time in the market!"

"Going out in plain clothes? Talking in the market?" Wen Jifu heard this, and always felt that this scene was a little funny.A crown prince and a prime minister, such a meeting seems a bit shabby and strange!
Lin Zhao added in time: "And some people overheard their conversation. They mentioned Bohai Sea, Hebei Road, which belonged to Song and Liao? Be king and minister, national integrity!"

"How did Dongyang know these things? Will he discover this situation?" Wen Yanbo has already realized that Lin Zhao's tentacles extend very long!
"Don't hide it from Mr. Wen, I have sent someone to monitor Han Qi!" Lin Zhao replied very frankly, but it was just Di Qing's unintentional action back then, but now it became deliberate.

Lin Zhao was really brave and thoughtful in following Han Qi!Wen Yanbo smiled, Han Qi didn't seem to be wronged when he met such an opponent!

"After discovering Han Jun's illegal behavior in Bozhou that day, I wondered whether Han Qi knew about it and did not report it to cover up his relatives. He may even be involved in it, or even be the mastermind behind it..." Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Government He Nai is the country's great plan, and the officials trust it heavily, so Zhao dare not live up to it. However, Han Qi has a high position and authority, and is a veteran of the three dynasties, with high morals and high prestige, so he can't take measures easily! So I'm afraid to send someone to spy secretly, so it's easy to sort out whether he is involved Among them, I didn't want to but accidentally discovered such a situation."

This reason seems to be very sufficient. It is completely reasonable to monitor Han Qi because of Han Jun's affairs.

Lin Zhao continued: "The dignified Hebei Road Xuanfu Envoy pretended to go out casually. At that time, he only said that Han Qi was friendly and easy-going, but my people discovered that Han Qi's purpose of going out this time was very clear, just to see this boy and a girl. In addition This young man is very handsome, so my subordinates noticed it and reported it after arriving at the Daming Mansion. Out of curiosity, I personally investigated and found out that it was the Yelujun brothers and sisters I met in Liaodong back then.

Han Qi went out in plain clothes, in order to meet the prince of Liao, the market seemed noisy, but it could be deceiving, the topic of discussion was quite special, this kind of situation is really intriguing! "

A very clear and reasonable context, weaving a good story for Han Xianggong, and at the same time cleverly explaining how he learned of Yelujun's whereabouts.Xiao Guanyin's entrustment and Zhao Weiyi's appearance were completely covered up.

After Wen Yanbo listened to it, he was surprised to find that this matter was a thousand times more complicated than imagined. It was already very difficult for the Prince of Liao to do what he should do!It also involved Han Qi, as the newly-appointed Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, it was unavoidable and inevitable to be involved.

Unexpectedly, it would be such a tricky thing as soon as he took office, Wen Xianggong couldn't help but sigh with emotion!Lin Zhao is really a ghost, troubles happen wherever he goes!Han Qi is out of luck, and he doesn't seem to be at ease anymore!How to end such a big stall is really not an easy task!
"Because of these two reasons, Zhao was really in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to act rashly, just to be in a dilemma." Lin Zhaodao: "First, I asked Mr. Wen Xianggong for advice. Second, after all, it involved the Song and Liao affairs, as well as the Hebei Road. Personnel affairs are related to the country's major plans, and must be reported to Duke Wen truthfully.

Of course, maybe it was because Zhao was overwhelmed. Han Qi's contact with Yelujun was probably due to the appointment of the government, or because of his duty. I don't know if Duke Wen knew about it? Lin Zhao smiled sheepishly: "Zhaoshi doesn't want to make a joke, let alone be accused of framing the minister!" "

"Humph!"

Lin Zhao asking for advice?Wen Yanbo shook his head lightly, Lin Shilang is talented and clever, why should he teach himself?This trick is really brilliant!No matter how Zhao Xu suppressed Han Qi like this, he would not have been appointed to contact the Liao Kingdom. Moreover, the imperial court had no such news. Although Wen Xianggong was in the local area, the news from the central government was still very well informed.

Then Han Qi was in private contact with the Prince of Liao, and with the content of those conversations... just a few key words, Yu Shi can completely catch wind and talk about things.And there is still a lot of room for development. How to play it out is really up to people. At that time, Han Qi may not be able to argue...

Doesn't it count for Han Qi to become an official?Wen Yanbo thought very far-reachingly. In his opinion, Lin Zhao seemed to have no need to pursue Han Qi like this. There seemed to be no deep hatred between them.In the officialdom, everyone pays attention to the scale, why does Lin Zhao act like this?

This Lin Shilang is very smart, obviously not the kind of reckless person, so his actions are very intriguing!It's not his personal intention, it can only be behind his back...

Official Zhao Xu!

It seems that it can only be understood in this way. After the Bozhou incident favored Lin Zhao, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who had a bit of a brain clearly realized that the people behind Lin Shilang were officials.The action on Hebei Road was entirely the intention of the officials, and Lin Zhao was just an executor!It's just that they didn't notice that Lin Shilang gave full play to his subjective initiative in this process, and he also paid attention to the process while emphasizing the result, making it somewhat magnified!
A slight loss is a thousand miles away, the king's heart is inherently unpredictable, and this small magnification is enough to make the courtiers think about it.The ministers are already good at power struggles, and because of their preconceived ideas, it is easy to think too much about some things, and then think wrongly.Even Wen Yanbo and his ilk are unavoidable.After all, Han Qi has too many similarities with him, and we must guard against the lessons learned from the past. Wen Xianggong has some sympathetic worries, so he thinks too much.

Therefore, Lin Zhao only mentioned it briefly, and Wen Xianggong immediately thought of the terrible thing behind it.Is it possible that Han Qi's reputation will be ruined if he fails to become an official?

First dismissed from office in a disguised form, shaken its foundation, deprived of its power, and then charged with accusations, knocked down in one fell swoop.Throughout the ages, emperors have mostly used this method to deal with powerful officials, and there are countless precedents.

Han Qi was really unlucky too, having such a nephew in reality gave Zhao Xu an excellent excuse.Then he was in contact with the prince of the Liao Kingdom, which seems to be true?What on earth is he trying to do?There is no need for Luo Zhi at all, Lin Zhao only needs to grasp this point, if Zhao Xu has the heart, he can really ruin him.

Wen Yanbo couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, it was a feeling of grief.If this is the case, who will Han Qi fall next?Will it be my turn?Is Zhao Xu so cruel?
The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden!The world is not peaceful yet, so why can't we tolerate veterans?Master of high power?is it so serious?But for a suspicious emperor, perhaps it is true!

Wen Yanbo glanced suspiciously at Lin Zhao opposite, what role did this young man play in it?What is the purpose of saying these words to myself today?Was it Lin Zhao's own intention, or was it ordered by Zhao Xu?Is it to kill chickens and monkeys and beat yourself?Or let yourself be an accomplice to kill Han Qi together?
When he came to Hebei Road, he had an unspoken mission, which was to unroot Han Qi and reorganize Hebei. This was completely reasonable and in line with his own interests. Wen Yanbo did not reject it.

This kind of thing can be done in a gentle way, little by little. Is it necessary to use such a drastic way?If he got involved in this matter, the outside world would regard it as a suppression of Han Qi, a struggle between the two husbands.Zhao Xu can withdraw and retreat, avoiding the notoriety of harming veterans.

This is letting myself take the blame and be a villain!

Wen Yanbo was unwilling to do this in his heart. Although he and Han Qi did not deal with each other, and there were confrontations in the open and in the dark, it was not to this extent.Wen Xianggong also wanted to be a gentleman and wanted to preserve his reputation.

But if he didn't agree, it would be tantamount to offending the officials. Would he immediately become the next Han Qi?They are already extremely human ministers, what they want is to spend the rest of their lives in peace, take care of their children and grandchildren, and leave a good reputation in the history!
In the end, reputation is a thing outside the body, and we can only wait for future generations to make a conclusion.Right now, the first thing to consider is to spend the rest of your life safely, let alone harm your descendants. Offending the emperor is a very dangerous thing.

Today's officials are not as benevolent and generous as Emperor Renzong, the risk is really too great!
Hebei Road is a pit!
If I had known earlier, I would have been willing to resign or resign earlier, and I would not have waded into this muddy water.Now in the Daming Mansion, there is no way to avoid it. If you want to retreat, it is impossible to retreat completely.From the moment he received the edict, everything was doomed.

well!How helpless!
The one in the Chuigong Palace in Bianjing, really... Wen Xianggong was a little scared and disappointed, and naturally began to renounce his virtue.

Either way!

Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land, as a human subject, is there any reason to disrespect the king?The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!

For now, we can only take one step at a time.Do your best with this matter!
And this Lin Shilang, it seems that he really needs to have a good relationship!
