King of Song

Chapter 293
The Gyeongju case is still in the process of fermenting, and it is only in the initial stage. The waves are gathering strength, and it will explode like a tsunami in a short time!
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the wind and clouds have moved, and the wind and clouds are bound to surge!

Lin Zhao, who was at the core, had his life at stake and was the top priority.

In the end, will it become a dead case with no proof, or an unjust case with reasonable and legal acquittal?There is God's will, and there are not many human factors.

At least for now, Li Fugui, Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing all want Lin Zhao's life.The Iron Face Sect Master has urgently sent Jiang Leiting to the northwest, but it is a long way from Yingtian Mansion to Qingzhou, and it will take a long time to rush there at full speed.

It is precisely because of this that the Iron Masked Sect Master is very worried!

For 20 years, was the purpose of the hard search just to find someone?Later, there were many ideas and plans, provided that the fourth prince was safe and sound.

In front of Jinghe layman, he didn't dare to say much, lest his wife would be too frightened and worried, but he was really sweating in his heart.

When you are still powerless and unable to intervene, you can only pray silently and pray for God to bless you.

"Officials, your child has finally been found, you must protect him!" The iron-faced suzerain looked up at the sky, and seemed to see the kindly smiling face of Emperor Renzong, but his heart had already flown to the northwest.

Was Lin Zhao's life and death completely manipulated?

Even if he is in the Gyeongju Prison, it may not be the case!
Li Fugui was also wary at the beginning, not daring to kill Lin Zhao easily.

The most appropriate way for him at the beginning was to take Lin Zhao into custody, and then report it to the court for the decision of the Holy Majesty.Although they knew that [-]% of the officials would issue an edict to escort Lin Zhao to Bianjing, they still wanted to do so.

There is no way, only in this way can we ensure that we can pick ourselves up clearly, and make ourselves appear impartial and free from suspicion.

But Li Fugui didn't want Lin Zhao to return to Bianjing safely. Although all the evidences were concocted to be perfect, if there was any problem in any link, he would be implicated.

No telling is the best solution!

Although there will definitely be rumors and rumors at that time, and some people even doubt themselves, but there will be no evidence, so what can we do?

As long as you don't do anything in Gyeongju and put aside your own suspicions, everything will be fine!

"Mr. Chen, the imperial decree has come down. As expected, the officials demanded that Lin Zhao be escorted to Bianjing." Li Fugui looked at the imperial decree and sighed softly.

Chen Qiao smiled and said: "It's completely expected, I don't know how the officials will react? Is there any trouble in Bianjing?"

"It is said that the officials were very angry, and even after this imperial decree was issued, Chong Er and others have been temporarily dismissed, and the Chong family in Qingjian has also been temporarily controlled. Also, Bianjing officials were outraged and wrote letters of impeachment one after another. Lin Zhao was demanded to be severely punished, and the atmosphere was tense." When Li Fugui delivered the military report, he arranged for his confidantes to go to Bianjing to inquire first-hand information, to ensure that they understood the state of mind and actions of the officials and officials, so that they could know what to do. Countermeasures.

"Lin Zhao's status in the hearts of the officials is really extraordinary!" Chen Qiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Why do you know that?" Li Fugui was a little puzzled, and his words were slightly bitter. Lin Zhao was so young, but he had a more sacred heart than the magistrates who were in charge of power. It was inevitable that he was a little jealous.And under the current circumstances, the more the emperor valued Lin Zhao, the more pressure he was under and the more worried he was.

Chen Qiao said with a smile: "Let Lin Zhao return to Bianjing, and the imperial decree came so quickly, it is even more urgent. From this, it can be understood that the officials are unbelievable and have to inquire in person. Especially the wave of impeachment in Bianjing is so strong. Big, the officials are not moved at all, and it can be seen that the housekeeper is thinking."

"What should I do?" Li Fugui had ghosts in his heart, so he was inevitably a little guilty and worried.

"Everything will go on as usual!" Chen Qiao didn't know whether he was confident or helpless.

"Ah... as usual?" Li Fugui was suddenly confused and didn't react.

"General, is there any movement from Mr. Yuanze?" Chen Qiao didn't answer directly, but asked another question.

"I don't know. When the news reaches Bianjing, there will definitely be news from Mr. Yuanze. It's just that we don't know what he did." Li Fugui believed that even if he didn't speak up, Wang Yu would have no problem with this matter. Definitely help.

As for Wang Anshi's side, he really didn't dare to reveal it lightly, he still had a gentleman's demeanor.Even if Wang Anshi couldn't bear it for a while, he would definitely alienate himself. Li Fugui really still felt a little bit reluctant to let go of the big tree of Wang Xianggong.

Chen Qiaodao: "If Lin Zhao arrives in Bianjing, some things can only be completely relied on by Mr. Yuanze and others, and things will not be under our control. Bianjing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, who knows what will change, I'm afraid Mr. Yuanze, Not even Wang Xianggong can fully control the situation..."

Li Fugui had already fully understood this hint, he himself had considered it this way at the beginning.The matter has come to this point, so we can only do one thing and keep doing two things.

"So, in order to be safe, Lin Zhao cannot be allowed to return to Bianjing alive." Li Fugui gritted his teeth with a ferocious expression.What was he doing in Gyeongju these days?He himself knows best.Once it is exposed, he will be blamed for death.Especially the more than 1000 lives in Gyeongju, if you think about it seriously, you can ransack your family and exterminate your family.

If Lin Zhao dies, these will become eternal secrets and will not be revealed.Even if someone counts on him, there is no evidence to prove it. The big deal is not to be the magistrate of Gyeongju.

Compared with wealth and life, high-ranking officials and rich salary are nothing, and you have to live to enjoy them.At this moment, Li Fugui had already prepared his own worst plan.

Chen Qiao and Li Fugui are completely like grasshoppers on the same rope now, and they can only be with him, and they will go to the dark together.

"General, remember one thing, the technique must be clever, and it is best to do it after leaving Gyeongju!"

"That's natural!" Li Fugui naturally couldn't do something like this where there is no money for 300 taels, but no matter where he did it, as long as Lin Zhao died, he couldn't get away with it.Things have come to this point, and I can't take care of that much.

"Also, we have to consider those soldiers of the imperial army!" Thinking of Su An's fierce eyes that day, Chen Qiao shuddered.I'm really worried, how will these Forbidden Army officers and soldiers react if there is a commotion?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are many people who want to kill Lin Zhao, but it is not so easy to implement it!

It is not convenient to do it in Gyeongju, so I can only think about it on the way out of Gyeongju!
Li Fugui's wishful thinking was shrewd, but it's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. When he arranged to escort Lin Zhao to Bianjing, he came to Huanqing Road alone.

The person who came was Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road!

Li Fugui immediately complained. In the northwest, prefectures were already quite high-ranking officials, especially in the states along the border. Because they wanted to defend Xixia, they had relatively strong military and political powers.

Like in Gyeongju, on Huanqing Road, Li Fugui can cover the sky with one hand.However, in the northwest, there are still people who can restrain him, such as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road.

The official position of the Xuanfu Envoy first started in the late Tang Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, ministers were sent to inspect post-war areas and flood-stricken areas, and they were called Xuanxian Consolation Envoys or Xuanfu Envoys.

In the Song Dynasty, the official position of Xuan Fushi still existed, but the functions had changed a lot!
Xuanfu envoys were not often appointed in the Song Dynasty, but once appointed, their status and power were of great importance.

The status of Xuanfu envoys in the Northern Song Dynasty was equivalent to or served by the ruling ministers.The initial duty was to inspect the local area and ask the officials and the common people. For example, in the third year of Xianping (1000) of Song Zhenzong, Xiang Minzhong, who was a political adviser, was the ambassador of Xuanfu in Hebei and Hedong.

Later, it evolved into a military commander of one or several routes. In the eighth year of Song Renzong Qingli (1048), Wen Yanbo, a political adviser, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and he was a military commander specially set up to suppress King Ze of Beizhou.In the fourth year of Huangyou (1052), Di Qing, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy, which was the beginning of the military minister's appointment as the Xuanfu envoy.At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the eunuch Tong Guan and others also served as Xuanfu envoys.

It can be seen from this that the position and power of the Xuanfu envoy are so great!He can govern all aspects of military and political affairs, and can be said to be the highest official like a prince.

The Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road is even more incredible!

The Xuanfu envoys in other areas may be dispatched only after wars or disasters, but because of Shaanxi Road's relationship with Xixia, Xuanfu envoys have become permanent official positions.

The Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road undoubtedly governed the military and government of Shaanxi Fourth Road, and Gyeongju was also within its jurisdiction, and it happened to be the immediate boss of Gyeongju Zhizhou.

Today's Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road is Han Jiang!

Han Jiang, whose name is Zihua, used his father's shadow to make up for the Taimiao Zhailang, and moved to Huoli to judge affairs.In the second year of Renzong's Qingli period, he was a Jinshi, except for the prince Zhongyun and the general judge Chenzhou.

During the Renzong Dynasty, he successively served as a judge of the household department, promoted to Youzhengyan, Zhizhigao, moved to Longtuge Zhiba, Hanlin, and Yushi Zhongcheng.During the Jiayou period, he successively served as Zhiqing Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture, and Kaifeng Prefecture.Later, he also served as the third envoy.

Looking at Han Jiang's resume, he has held almost all important positions in various aspects of the Song Dynasty.Zhizhigao drafted the imperial edict for the emperor, and the Hanlin scholar was the emperor's senior political adviser, and also served as the third envoy of the Song Dynasty's financial officials known as the "planner" in the Kaifeng government office.

It is enough to prove that its ability is good and its status is lofty, so it cannot be underestimated at all.

During Yingzong's reign, Han Jiang was also highly valued.The current emperor, Zhao Xu, ascended the throne and was worshiped as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.In the third year of Xining, that is, this year, he paid homage to Shenzhi Zhengshi and served as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road as the deputy prime minister.

It is very important for Shaanxi Road to defend Xixia, and the minister in power must be able to take on this important task.Another point is that the Northwest is full of mighty generals, and ordinary people may not be able to control such a situation.

Han Jiang is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate!
But he came to the northwest with a sense of helplessness!
