King of Song

Chapter 505 Chapter [-] Jane is in the Emperor's Heart

A few days later, Emperor Zhao Xu received several memorials, the core of which was one person—Yelujun, Prince of Liao Kingdom.

One piece of information came from the Xiongzhou Frontier Army, and the other piece came from the spy workers of the Imperial City Division on Hebei Road.

It is claimed that Prince Yelujun of the Liao Kingdom and Princess Yelutri have been in private for many days in the Song Dynasty, and they are now in Daming Mansion.The reason for the frequent mobilization of the Liao army in Youzhou is precisely for this reason, for cooperation and support.In the end, it was specifically emphasized that Weiyuan Hou Linzhao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had contact with the two of them.

The front is just to report the situation, and the last is the key point.

After the news was made public, the controversy over how to deal with Yelu Jun immediately arose.Some people said that Yelujun was the only son of the Liao Lord, and if he was detained, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Liao Kingdom.With hostages in hand, the Liao Kingdom will be wary of doing things in the future.

Some people also said that they can use this to question the Liao Kingdom, what is the intention of the prince to go south and not write the letter of credence?You can use this to embarrass Yelujun.Others said that Yelv Jun should be greeted with grand etiquette, and then sent back home.The Youzhou Liao Army mobilized and drilled frequently, which should not be ignored!In short, some take risks, some are moderate, and as always opinions disagree.

In addition, it is the mass impeachment of Lin Zhao!
It is a serious crime to have a private relationship with the prince of the Liao Kingdom, which is extended to the Liao Kingdom.Some time ago, Lin Shilang offended quite a few people. The relatives and friends of the criminal who died under the horseshoe in Bozhou mobilized together. The impeachment of Lin Zhao can be said to be overwhelming.

Speaking carefully, Lin Shilang really had a lot of troubles.However, this is the second time in a year or two that it has been said to be collaborating with an enemy country. The last time it was Xixia, this time it was Liao. The entire Song Dynasty is absolutely unique.So much so that the officials of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites who often go on missions are a little worried whether they will also be charged with such crimes.But in the end, he is far behind Lin Shilang, and there are so many people who are popular...

Zhao Xu is not stupid, he can see who is behind this.

Just how to deal with such a thing?In any case, it is not appropriate to communicate with the prince of Liao in private.Now that Yelujun had arrived at Daming Mansion and met Lin Zhao, why didn't he play the performance?Knowing but not reporting?Or is there another conspiracy?

These are the two aspects that Zhao Xu cannot tolerate the most.In addition to being suspicious by nature, Zhao Xu still couldn't help being a little suspicious!

Is Lin Zhao going too far?Although Zhao Xu didn't blame him for the incident in Bozhou last time, he vaguely felt that Lin Zhao's methods were too drastic.But seeing the good results, I didn't say anything, ignoring the related adverse effects.

But this time, how will Lin Zhao explain it?
Within a day or two, Zhao Xu received two more memorials!
One was attended by Lin Zhao, who explained the situation of the Yelujun brothers and sisters coming to the Great Song Dynasty.The most important thing is to describe in detail how to discover the two siblings, and the secret meeting between Han Qi and Yelu Jun is also vividly written on the paper!The spearhead suddenly changed, it wasn't Lin Shilang who secretly confided in the Liao Kingdom, but Han Xianggong.

As expected, it was still Lin Zhao and Han Qi's fight.

Only this time, the prince of Liao was involved, which made things a bit troublesome and tricky.Once confirmed, the charges will become more serious.

But the difference is still very obvious. Han Qi used the frontier army and the Imperial City Secretary to deliver the news, so there are inevitably some inaccuracies, and there is a feeling of speculation.There is also a feeling of private use of public equipment and public revenge, and some damage to Han Xianggong's character is inevitable.

On Lin Zhao's side, he took the initiative to write a letter, explaining what happened, acknowledging the problem, and even unreservedly admitting that he was monitoring Han Qi.The most important thing is the evidence. Not only the watchers can testify, but even the stall owner who sold the Four Treasures of the Study was detained at that time, so the evidence is conclusive.

For Zhao Xu, the biggest difference is not here.

Han Qi's side is Ming Zuo, and Lin Zhao's side is Mi Zuo!It's just this little difference that makes a big difference.

The Ming Zuo passed through the Zhengshi Hall, and the prime ministers and officials of the central government could see it, so everyone in the court knew it, and it was bound to turn against Yingtian.There are quarrels are inevitable, and now is the situation.

You must know that Zhao Xu hates quarrels the most in recent years, and this alone makes him a little upset.

Lin Zhaoduo was considerate, if something happened, he would suppress the matter first, and then report to the officials closely, asking for instructions as usual, so that the city would not be full of storms.Especially the whereabouts of Yelu Jun is too sensitive, and it is best to deal with it in a low-key manner.Once the matter is made public and the courtiers quarrel, what should Zhao Xu do?Detain Yelu Jun?He didn't have the guts to tear himself apart with Liao.

Let Yelu Jun go?It also seemed a little afraid of the Liao Kingdom, and it was hard to save face.

This is to make it hard for me to ride a tiger on purpose!While Zhao Xu was feeling emotional, he also had a clear view of the intentions of the two.

Han Qi deliberately used the persuasion of the ministers of the court and the pressure of public opinion to force himself to deal with Lin Zhao.As everyone knows, after the incident with Lu Huiqing, what Zhao Xu disliked the most was that someone used him.Especially if you blatantly embarrass yourself like this, it is even more abhorrent.

Moreover, the relationship between Song and Liao is involved, and it is impossible to make a war imminent. The Song Dynasty can't stand the toss of just being tied.Hasn't Han Qi thought about such a problem?Using power for personal gain, regardless of national interests, is really...

Although Lin Zhao also had intentions, he concealed it well.This is due to his understanding of Zhao Xu, his daily contact, the views of Cao and Zhao Fukang, Ming Yuezong's attention everywhere, and his own foreknowledge of history, so that Lin Zhao can make good use of Zhao Xu's mentality to make things better. Done just right.

Lin Zhao made it very clear in the secret memorial that this matter is more troublesome, perhaps it happened by accident, and Mr. Han may not have done anything wrong.Arguing for Han Qi everywhere, keeping his posture very low.There is only one important point, this matter is handled in a low-key manner, euphemistically expressing the meaning of not embarrassing the officials and not being disturbed.

In contrast, Han Qi's side was very powerful, but it made the officials embarrassed.But Lin Zhao was unusually low-key, saying that he would neither fight nor rob, and had no ulterior motives, just seeking truth from facts.

According to the report, as for how to make a decision, everything is up to the Holy Order.

"To clarify one thing, the Song Dynasty is still the emperor's final decision!" Lin Zhao looked at Di Qing with a smile, and said leisurely: "The Song Dynasty is indeed enlightened, but the monarchy is sacred, and the emperor still has the supreme power. The emperor is the emperor. The way of the king is quite gentle, and he is quite generous to his subjects. After decades, some people have the illusion that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is easy to bully and becomes more domineering! But they are wrong!

So what if there are more impeachments, the final decision is still Zhao Xu in the Chui Gong Temple.Zhao Xu is different from his father, he is arrogant, but narrow-minded, especially when he is still young... Just look at how he relegated many ministers to support Wang Anshi. Self-willed!So, instead of being grandiose, it's better to be simple in the emperor's heart to comfort the emperor's heart! "

Di Qing asked, "Master, are you sure?"

"Seventy percent sure!" Lin Zhaodao: "Zhao Xu is still very young. As a prince in his early years, he had to behave well as a prince. The more restraints he has, the more he will be depressed. How should I put it, the emperor's adolescence... well, it is a stable personality. The time has been delayed... Even though he is in his 20s now, he still has a young heart and a little rebelliousness, so the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound. The more you let him go east, the more likely he will go west If he doesn't like it, it can only backfire!"

Lin Zhao paused for a moment, and continued: "What's more, there is Wen Yanbo standing by our side, what will Zhao Xu think in his heart?"

Di Qing said: "That's right, it's just that after these few incidents, the young master seems a bit lonely..."

"It's good to be a lonely minister for the time being, at least you won't be suspected by Zhao Xu, so that you can be so free and calm!" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Look at Mr. Han, he left the court, and there are so many people responding, Zhao Xu can Don't worry?"

Taking your time?Is it really possible?Di Qing muttered to himself, thoughtful!
But one thing is right, seeing the impeachment memorials flooding up like a tide, Zhao Xu became a little angry.In his view, the normal situation should be for everyone to discuss how to solve Yelu Jun's matter, not to impeach Lin Zhao.

Unpredictable!
Especially with so many people agreeing, Han Qi's influence in the court is still very strong, it seems that it is not enough to just let him go.If this trend cannot be suppressed, will it be reversed?If other ministers follow suit again, will there be peace in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu felt strong dissatisfaction.It seems that Han Xianggong has a very deep foundation in the court, and I don't know how Wen Yanbo is doing?
Zhao Xu was thinking about this matter, and Wen Yanbo's memorials had all arrived in Bianjing.

As the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road and the general judge of the Daming Mansion, it's strange that he stayed out of it or didn't know about such a big incident.

Wen Yanbo said that his source of information was Lin Zhao.

Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with this.The matter was urgent, and Lin Zhao was unable to ask Bianjing for instructions. At the same time, it was right to seek the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei Road to discuss and solve the problem. After all, Wen Yanbo was highly respected and experienced, and he was the highest administrative official of Hebei Road. terms of reference.

At least it shows that Lin Zhao did not make his own claims.How did Zhao Xu know that behind the lack of self-assessment is a big one?

Wen Yanbo said that after receiving Lin Zhao's report, he investigated the case.The so-called investigation is to confirm whether Han Qi had any contact with Yelujun.The testimonies of several witnesses have been sent along with the secret memorial, and with Wen Yanbo coming forward, it will be a little more impartial.

There is no intersection between Lin Zhao and Wen Yanbo, and there will be no collusion between them.After all, one is a rising star, and the other is a veteran of the three dynasties, two types of people who don't get along at all.Furthermore, with Han Qi's experience ahead, Wen Yanbo should be very aware of it, right?
At the same time, Wen Yanbo also gave advice on how to deal with the Yelujun incident.It must be handled in a low-key manner. If Yelujun is not recognized in the Song Dynasty, it should be treated as nothing happened, and then sent back to the Liao Kingdom.
