King of Song

Chapter 90

On the way back, thinking of Chen Hong's embarrassing expression at that time, Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Hong did not dare to renege on his debt, and bowed to Lin Zhao in front of everyone.

Naturally, the great opportunity could not be let go, so Lin Zhao put on the teacher's airs and gave a few words of admonition, not to mention how ugly Chen Hong's face was.

The reason why the bet was to have Chen Hong perform the teacher's ceremony meant that this guy had to bow his head every time he met, he could be humiliated for a long time, and he would retaliate in a civilized manner.

However, the life circle did not overlap with Chen Hong, so Lin Zhao didn't take it seriously...

But sometimes things are so evil, the next morning, a servant comes to report that the emperor's edict has arrived!
Emperor's edict?

Lin Zhao was really surprised. How did the edict come so quickly after returning to Jiangning for a few days?

Punishment?Probably not, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave Bianjing easily!

Could it be another appointment?Isn't this too fast?Lin Zhao imagined that even if the emperor wanted to use him, it would be at least a few months later.There was too much commotion in Bianjing a few days ago, and it was necessary to avoid the limelight.What's more, Zhao Xu also has to give his empress dowager some face, doesn't he?
Therefore, it should be punished, even if it is appointed, it must be relegated!

But he is just an eighth-rank sesame official, how can he be demoted?Lin Zhao accepted the imperial decree with trepidation. The person who came to announce the decree was an official from the Ministry of Rites. Before he came, he was very polite to Lin Zhao because he had received advice from the doctor Zhang Zongyi.

The emperor's decree was taken very seriously by everyone in the whole family, and they were all respectful.Gu Qi had a worried expression on his face. He thought that his nephew would be able to stay away from the court and danger for at least a while, but he never expected to come back so soon... No matter what the content of the edict is, it is a disaster rather than a blessing...

In the front hall, the imperial decree was announced!

There was no mention of punching King Qi, and Zhao Hao in Bianjing was forced to speak, it was just a misunderstanding.Of course, people with discerning eyes still know it well...

The content of the imperial decree is only one thing, Lin Zhao has a new place, and he is transferred to Liangzhe Road to promote the city's shipping department.

With the rise of the Maritime Silk Road and the prosperity of overseas trade in the Song Dynasty, a city shipping department was successively set up in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Mizhou, Xiuzhou and other places on the southeast coast, and a promotion officer was set up in each place to handle related affairs!
Lift and control!

The Liangzhe Road City Shipping Department is located in Hangzhou, and Lin Zhao's new position is to serve as the promotion officer for the Hangzhou/City Shipping Department.

For the time being, Lin Zhao is not very clear about the specific ranks of official positions and what he is responsible for.However, I still have some ideas about the Shibo Department. The responsible agency for overseas trade in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties is equivalent to the customs of later generations!
If it is to be placed in future generations, it will definitely be a first-class good unit, a sweet pastry that everyone is vying for.

But at this time, although the Song Dynasty's overseas quota seems to have increased a lot, after all, the proportion is still too small, and the degree of attention is really average.

The scholar-bureaucrats who have always regarded themselves as the kingdom of heaven have a sense of superiority. They don't look down on those barbarians from overseas at all, and they don't pay much attention to overseas trade.At that time, there were many tribute trades, and they were still losing money!
Therefore, the Shibosi Yamen may have some good things to gain, but the importance and status are really not high.Aspiring officials, especially Qingliu, don't look down on them at all, and being appointed as the official of the Shibo Secretary is a bit like relegation and assignment in disguise!
As expected!After beating King Qi, he really offended the Empress Dowager. Zhao Xu didn't take any practical action, and it was obvious that he couldn't do without an explanation.Since the crime was not judged according to the law, and a misunderstanding was used to prevaricate it, it is reasonable to be relegated to the official position.

Well, let's go to Shibo Division!
Although Bianjing is good, but in recent years, it has been a maelstrom, the center of the storm in the Song Dynasty, and it is good to avoid it temporarily.

Fortunately, it's in Hangzhou, a nice place, not a backcountry.Go up to Feilai Peak, pay homage to Lingyin Temple, go to the West Lake for a walk, the broken bridge is covered with snow, the moon is reflected in the three ponds, maybe you can meet a white lady...

Moreover, Hangzhou is not far from Jiangning, and it is much more convenient to come back to visit relatives if you have the opportunity!

But after Lin Zhao learned about it in detail, he couldn't help but smile wryly!

Perhaps it was because the Department of Maritime Ships was not valued very much, and its institutional setup and leadership were not clear. Its responsibility was to manage the cargo ships of the Yi Nanfan countries.It stands to reason that it is under the jurisdiction of the transshipment department, but at the same time, it is also inspected by the prefect, general judge, county magistrate, and supervisor, and the transshipment envoy will take care of it.

That is to say, a small official with sesame mung beans, who has to be controlled by officials from all walks of life in Hangzhou. He is under the eaves, and his life will not be easy after that.

At the same time, Lin Zhao also remembered that Chen Hong's father, Chen Qi, was the county magistrate of Qiantang, Hangzhou, and the city bureau was located in Qiantang County.

What concept?Originally, I thought that I would never have any contact with Chen Hong again, so we must meet often after we can.He was beaten up by the Qinhuai River yesterday, will his father Chen Qi avenge himself in the future?What's more, there is still the grievance of Chen Xuanzhi's death. Before he took office, the enemy already had it...

Lin Zhao didn't know that there would be more than one enemy when he went to Hangzhou!
At the same time, Zhao Zhongshan, Marquis of Fushui, was also on his way to Hangzhou.The last time the Jiangnanju incident got serious, he was the one who rushed Zhao Hao to Jiangnanju to find fault, but he meant to sow discord and use Zhao Hao...

He never expected that Lin Zhao would have the guts to punch the prince, Zhao Hao was injured, and Empress Dowager Gao Taotao was very distressed.In addition to pursuing the responsibility of the main culprit, Lin Zhao, if he knew that he played a role in it, he would probably not let him lightly.

Zhao Zhongshan felt a little guilty, Aunt Thirteen Gao Taotao was not something to be trifled with!Don't dare to stay in Bianjing any longer, and want to go out to avoid the limelight.Where are you going?His father is Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County, so he naturally went to his family to fief Hangzhou...

The children of the royal family are very well-informed.Zhao Zhongshan soon received the news that Lin Zhao would be appointed as the promotion officer of the Hangzhou/Shiphai Division, and he was immediately puzzled!
The father and elder brother have been operating in Hangzhou for many years, and the court has already noticed some actions, and they are somewhat worried.At this time, Lin Zhao suddenly went to Hangzhou, even if he was just a low-level promotion officer, and the Shibo Department was not the main yamen... But Lin Zhao has a special status, but Wang Anshi's person, no, it should be the Emperor Zhao Xu's people……

This time Lin Zhao caused a catastrophe in Bianjing, if not for the full support of the emperor Zhao Xu, how could he be safe?She personally took Lin Zhao to pay homage to Tang Jie, and preserved Lin Zhao in a disguised form...

When Zhao Hao was beaten, the empress dowager was so angry that she even reprimanded Zhang Piguang who was "nosy" in Shangshu... But in the end, she swallowed her anger and said that Zhao Hao's beating was a misunderstanding...

What power can make the empress dowager stop?Who else but Emperor Zhao Xu?Lin Zhao has been protected to this extent, but the treatment of a confidant!
Zhao Zhongshan even doubted whether some of Lin Zhao's actions were inspired by Zhao Xu behind the scenes. Whether it was the Ayun case or Zhao Hao's case, the emperor was the big winner in the end!
Although Zhao Xu is only in his early twenties, about the same age as himself, his tactics and methods are not bad at all.

Many people think that Lin Zhao's relegation to Hangzhou was Zhao Xu's explanation to his mother and younger brother, but Zhao Zhongshan thinks that this matter seems not so simple... Thinking of his own affairs, Zhao Zhongshan is even more worried. He feels that he must communicate with his father as soon as possible. Discuss with elder brother, be careful of Lin Zhao...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Hong also received the news. After Qin Huaihe was humiliated that night, he had been thinking about revenge, so he paid a lot of attention to Lin Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao was transferred to Hangzhou, and Chen Hong almost laughed out loud when he received the news.His father is the county magistrate of Qiantang, and to some extent he is Lin Zhao's immediate boss.The Chen family is in Hangzhou, and it can be regarded as a deep-rooted snake-like existence...

Lin Zhao, oh Lin Zhao, this is fate, it’s not good to go anywhere, but Hangzhou is the birthplace.There is a way to heaven if you don't go, and there is no way to hell if you break in, then don't blame me for being rude!

But that night was really embarrassing, Chen Hong felt so full of hatred that he couldn't eat for several days.He is impatient, otherwise he wouldn't be filled with hatred when he saw Lin Zhao that night, humiliated and took revenge, and ended up shooting himself in the foot with a rock...

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. It's not feasible for Chen Hong, but it's another thing to deal with Lin Zhao in Hangzhou.Before that, I must take revenge first, and vent my anger...

From Jiangning to Hangzhou, it is not that close, and some sections of the road are still in the wilderness.These days, although the law and order in Jiangnan is good, it is not surprising to encounter bandits who rob houses by chance... Hehe...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, Yutong was very efficient, and came to report: "Miss, I have already found out. The young man who guessed the lantern riddle is named Lin Zhao, and he was originally a book boy from the Meng Mansion in Jiangning..."

"But the author of 'But Smell the Green Plum'?" Before finishing speaking, Mu Sihong had already realized that Lin Zhao's "Dian Crimson Lips" is quite famous in Jiangning, and there are also people performing it in Qinhuai River.If it was him, it wouldn't be surprising if he guessed the lantern riddle...

Yutong nodded and said: "It's him. This person went to Bianjing last year. He became an official because he solved a major case. The officials gave him a Jinshi background, and he was envoy to the Liao Kingdom as the head secretary of Honglu Temple... ...a man of the hour in Bianjing years ago..."

They had their own sources of news, and soon learned about Lin Zhao's deeds!
Mu Sihong couldn't help being amazed, in just half a year, he has done so many earth-shattering things, this Lin Zhao is really extraordinary!Wang Anshi's confidant, the emperor favors him so much, it can be said that he has a bright future...

Originally, it was just an exclamation, she didn't care how good Lin Zhao was, and she didn't care!You can hear Yutong continue: "The imperial court has just issued an order that Lin Zhao will be appointed as the promotion officer of Hangzhou/Shibosi..."

The word Hangzhou popped into his ears, and Mu Sihong was shocked!
This person's ability is extraordinary, the key is that the power behind him is powerful, and there are many big figures behind him... Will he go to Hangzhou to open up the situation?Can you take advantage of him?
I have been unable to think of a good way, the reason is that I have no influence, now seems to be a good opportunity...

Especially that night, the conflict between Lin Zhao and Chen Hong, and it was also heard that Lin Zhao and the Chen family had a murderous feud... so good!
I'm afraid the Chen family won't let it go, but is Lin Zhao a kind person?A person who dares to punch the prince and anger the prime minister to death must be daring...

If you grasp it well and make use of it, the Chen family is nothing to worry about... Even those evil people behind it are not impossible...

Mu Sihong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Hangzhou too!"

It is foreseeable that this spring, Hangzhou will be very lively...
