King of Song

Chapter 536

Zhao Xu finally compromised!

A "Picture of Refugees Starved to Death" is too shocking. The scene of hunger and death for thousands of miles is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, and the impact is quite strong.

Depose Wang Anshi, and rain will surely fall from the sky within ten days; otherwise, if you punish the minister for the crime of deceiving the king, please beheaded outside the Xuande Gate!

This is Zheng Xia's risky remonstrance alone, and it is also the voice of all officials.

Under such circumstances, how can Zhao Xu still sit still?He is the emperor, he has supreme authority, but can he completely oppose all officials?Can it go against the will of heaven and the hearts of the people?
Zhao Xu, who was already shaken, was completely shaken this time, and all the last defense of Wang Anshi in his heart collapsed.

Zhao Xu didn't respond right away, maybe he wanted to retain his final authority as the emperor, or maybe he wanted to give Wang Anshi some dignity!

All the officials were a little disappointed, thinking that the officials still acted arbitrarily and stubbornly.While thinking about how to take further action, the emperor's decree came, and it came before most of the officials had walked out of the palace gate.

Wang Anshi temporarily suspended, go home to rest!

He didn't directly dismiss the Prime Minister, but the officials knew very well that the officials were already giving in if they did so, and it was unprecedented for Wang Xianggong to suspend his post.At least the officials' confidence has disintegrated, and this is already the prelude to dismissing the Prime Minister.

Maybe the official's final decision was to gamble with Zheng Xia whether it will rain within ten days?All the officials are also looking forward to it. After ten days, will Wang Anshi lose his fortune?Or did Zheng Xia's head fall to the ground?
The people all over the world are also looking forward to it. They are looking forward to the coming of the rain more than anyone else. They are waiting for the rain to save their lives!

Ever since, the Great Song Dynasty has entered the mode of all people hoping for rain!
Only Wang Anshi and his son are exceptions!

Wang Anshi is an upright gentleman. The rain from the sky is a good thing for the people and the drought. Presumably he will not object.He just disagreed and associated the drought with himself; he didn't want to admit that the drought had something to do with him.He was also confused, what did he do wrong?
However, an indisputable fact is in front of us.At the beginning of the reform, he and Zhao Xu made a statement, and the first thing they emphasized was that the change of the sky is not to be feared.

He did it, and even when the drought was raging, he remained calm.But unfortunately, the emperor who has the decision-making power failed to do it!

Temporary suspension, go home and rest!
Although he has not lost his position as Prime Minister for the time being, Wang Anshi is not at all lucky, nor is he lucky. The ending may be doomed.Even if it does not rain within ten days, what is the use of preserving the prime minister's position?
The emperor is not as completely trusting as before, and his mood is completely different.At least, you can't go back to the past!Wang Anshi was filled with emotion in his heart, and all he left was a sigh!
In contrast, Wang Yu was very restless.

He never expected that things would develop to this point, and it was Zheng Xia who gave them the final fatal blow, and that "Picture of the Starving Refugees" was the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Maybe Wang Yu felt more annoyed!If he hadn't ravaged Zheng Xia so much back then, and made him so miserable, how could there be a counterattack today?
Zheng Xia is desperate for revenge!
Wang Yu laughed, very bitterly!

He originally thought that Zheng Xia was just a small person, and he was nothing without the protection and support of the Wang family.But now, the facts tell him that the little people also contain huge energy, and once they go crazy, they are unstoppable.Of course, Wang Yu would not know that what Zheng Xia did was the result of the persuasive and persuasive guidance of the big man behind him.But one thing is certain, he once underestimated these two people.

It is not very realistic to dare to pull the emperor off his horse if he is willing to cut himself to pieces.But it is entirely possible for a small person to risk his life to pull the prime minister down.

Things have gotten out of hand, and now no one can change it!
Wang Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed, could only pray silently, God insisted that it would not rain for a few more days!
At this moment, only God can save his father!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day and night, Weiyuan Houfu!

"It will definitely rain within ten days?" Li Cheng still had some doubts, especially when he heard that Zheng Xia had bet his life.

"Should be!" Lin Zhao believed that Shao Yong would not be aimless. Zheng Xia was two days late in presenting the picture, so the rain should come within eight days!

"Zhao Xu didn't just quit, he was obviously waiting for the rain!" Li Cheng said worryingly: "If it doesn't rain, Zheng Xia's head will fall, Wang Anshi's position will be as stable as before, and all previous efforts will be in vain. "

"No, at least we have achieved some of our goals!" Lin Zhaodao: "Suspended but not dismissed, Zhao Xu is insisting on his so-called authority, but he doesn't know that it is not good to procrastinate like this, and it is easy to have the impression of self-willedness and indecision , I believe that the officials are already dissatisfied.

If it rains within ten days, everyone will be happy.If it didn't rain, do you think Zhao Xu would really dare to kill Zheng Xia?Not only that, I'm afraid the backlash from the officials will be even more serious!So, maybe Zhao Xu is also looking forward to the rain now, so that he can push the boat along the way, obey the will of God, and obey the hearts of the people! "

Li Cheng felt relieved a little, and said softly, "Then we won't suffer anyhow!"

"This is an unexpected effect!" Lin Zhao pondered: "But I want to have the best of both worlds, and the original purpose can also be achieved."

"That Zheng Xia is really bold, he really dares to bet!"

"Hi!" Lin Zhao said: "This is a good young man who speaks up for justice, but in the face of reality, he has gradually changed his taste. Maybe this is the reality! If you want to do it, then do it completely, put it to death and live later. Zheng Xia does have some guts!"

"Xu Rong got in touch with him well, and the young master will be able to use him in the future!" Li Cheng seemed to be optimistic about Zheng Xia, and he seemed to be a good candidate when his camp lacked people.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Although this person has talent and courage, after these two things, he is no longer pure. He can use it, but he can't use it!"

Li Cheng just nodded silently, the young master has matured day by day, and he is thinking more deeply.

"Tomorrow's family banquet is ready!" Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then asked softly. The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, so it was natural to have a family feast.

"It has been arranged, son, don't worry!"

"Alright then, arrange for the night watchers to rest early!"

Today's Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not ordinary, there are many guards in the open and in the dark, and the security can be described as a net, the level of security is no worse than that of the imperial palace!
"Yes!"

Lin Zhao was about to go back to bed, but he didn't want to stop after taking a few steps, turned around and said, "Li Cheng, do you feel it?"

"What?" Li Cheng was a little stunned!
"Cool wind, moist cool wind!" Lin Zhao stretched out his hand, only to feel the cool wind blowing towards his face, and the sweltering heat of summer night was swept away immediately.

"Yes!" Li Cheng also felt it, and when he looked up, he found that the crescent moon and the bright stars in the sky had disappeared, and the clouds that had not been seen for a long time began to cover the sky over Bianjing.

"It's going to rain!" Li Cheng was very excited, and just as he was talking, a bolt of lightning split in the air, illuminating the entire city of Bianjing!Immediately afterwards, rumbling thunder sounded in the distance!
A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth, Shao Yong was really right, God is very helpful!

However, this was not the only thing that made him happy that night.Before the smiling Lin Zhao returned to the backyard, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Master Chai, Mrs. Chai is about to give birth!"
