King of Song

Chapter 406 Chapter [-]
That night, Lin Zhao was too shocked.

He knew that he was actually the son of Renzong, the prince of the Song Dynasty, and he could and should aspire to the throne.At the same time, he also knew that he possessed a lot of invisible power, especially with the help of Di Qing, the eternally famous general who is the most loyal and loyal.

What does Di Qing mean?He controls the Mingyue Sect, an intelligence agency that is even more powerful than the Imperial City Division. This power is very important.Especially after the rescue of Zhewenxin this time, Lin Zhao has a deeper understanding.

Furthermore, Di Qing was the commander-in-chief of the Western Army back then, and the official worshiped as a privy envoy. Could he not have his own strength and influence in the army?Lin Zhao believes that Di Qing will tell him when necessary, and this will be a very important support.Not to mention his military strategy, if he wants to make a name for himself in the army, having such a famous general as a military adviser by his side will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Also, Di Yong, Di Qing's son, was regarded by Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao as his own because he married Princess Qinghe.If something really happens in the future, Di Yong can also make some articles here. This is probably the surprise in the forbidden army that Di Qing said!Lin Zhao didn't know that the matter was far more than that. His "uncle" Cao Yi had already arranged for his grandson Cao Jian to be in case of emergency.

Coupled with the invisible forces that already existed in the court, Lin Zhao was very confident that he could at least try.If you manage it carefully, you will definitely gather a lot of strength in the future.

The throne, which belongs to oneself, can be challenged completely.

It's not about whether you like it or not, as long as you are the son of Renzong, you are destined to fight, you have to fight, and there is no way to avoid it.Even if he doesn't fight, after Zhao Xu finds out, he will definitely kill himself to avoid future troubles.Naturally, Lin Zhao couldn't sit still and wait for death, he had to plan first.

What's more, Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Xu's father and son were sorry for their father and son. The throne belongs to him, and it is only natural to take back his own things.At the same time, it is also a process of revenge. Zhao Xu is cold, and he has not forgotten the hatred of Lin Zhao last time. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

At the same time, Lin Zhao didn't want to see Zhao Xu tossing around, let alone his precious son Zhao Ji ruining the Song Dynasty.Great Song Dynasty has a prosperous economy and brilliant culture, and more importantly, it needs to have strong military exploits. This is one's own responsibility, an inherent responsibility!He wants to use that supreme power to build a powerful Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the throne must be contested!
In the Song Dynasty, although Lin Zhao was always striving for improvement, his goal was never very clear.But this time, it was completely different, and his goal was confirmed.

The sword points to the throne, and the world is pacified!
Today he finally knew why his single name was "Zhao".His uncle told him that Zhaotong Zhao was his surname, and that he, an orphan of the Zhao family, would restore his original surname one day.Zhao also has the meaning of Zhaoxue, how much suffering and grievances my mother suffered back then, and the helplessness of my father, I have to ask for an explanation.

Furthermore, Zhao also means bright and bright.Since he is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and wants to ascend to the throne of God, he must let the Great Song Dynasty flourish like the sun and the moon.

The heavy responsibility entrusted by the name should be completed with effort.

It was dawn, and a round of rising sun slowly rose from the east under the backdrop of auspicious clouds, and the earth suddenly became brighter.The red sun is rising, full of vigor, hope has been born.It won't be long before the sun rises to the sky, and the sky will shine brightly... Lin Zhao's back looks a little tall in the morning light, shining golden...

The road to the emperor begins today!
This is an auspicious sign, a good start.

Lin Zhaolang said: "Mr. Di, thank you for your perseverance in the past 20 years. You have worked hard. The next responsibility should be provoked by me. However, Mr. Di's assistance and correction are indispensable!"

"Your Highness is serious. Everything is Di Qing's duty. Seeing His Highness like this, I feel very relieved." Indeed, Di Qing was really comforted to see Lin Zhao's excellent qualities and talents, as well as his full confidence.At least the son of Renzong is a man who can be made, and he is fully qualified to aspire to the world. As for the opportunity and strength, he believes that he will have it gradually.

Jiang Leiting approached and said: "Your Highness, the existence of Mingyue Sect and you is currently a secret. After today, we will still be called 'Young Master' until the day when His Highness announces his birth to the world!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhao was very comforting. Today he finally understood the meaning of a son, and he also got to know these loyal subordinates.Of course, their existence is also the biggest secret in this world, and it must be strictly guarded.

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Master... Young Master, now that the goal is determined, we should put it into action. It is best to have a clear charter and plan."

"Naturally!" Lin Zhao said, "As Di Gong said, we will do nothing above the court for the time being, and mainly focus on the army. At present, my relationship with the Zhong family is pretty good, and it seems that we need to strengthen it in the future. After the peace talks are over, I want to go to Fuzhou for a while, firstly, my son-in-law will visit me, and secondly... I will meet my uncle Zhekexing!"

Di Qing nodded and said: "That's right, the Zhong family and the Zhe family are the key points, but the other roads cannot be ignored... Han Jiang had a good relationship with the young master, but when he was the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, he didn't go too far." It’s grown, I’m afraid I have to find another way.” Han Jiang has already participated in political affairs, and if it wasn’t for the war, he would not stay in the northwest, and sooner or later he would return to Bianjing to be the deputy prime minister.

"Shaanxi Road may be too early to plan, as for the other roads..." Lin Zhaodao: "The Wang Shao people on Huanqing Road are not bad, but we can get in touch with them slowly... The most important thing is opportunity. According to the current state of Hehuang Tubo It is estimated that there will be a war in Xihe in a year or two, this is a good time to grasp the military power and build military achievements..."

Everyone has heard about the situation in Hehuang Tubo, and according to the current situation, it is certain that there will be conflicts sooner or later.But it's hard to say whether Song Ting will go to war with it. After all, Liao and Xixia are not peaceful at the moment, and Wang Anshi's reforms in internal affairs are also ups and downs.So it's really hard to say when the war will start.

But Lin Zhao is very determined, and the war will start within a year or two.Di Qing was a little surprised, but immediately felt relieved, maybe the young master got more news from Wang Shao!He would never have thought that his young master possessed a moment of soul from a thousand years later, and the battle of Xihe really started in the fifth year of Xining.

Di Qing said: "Since this is the case, then we will strengthen our intelligence investment in the Xihe area, and now you are laying the groundwork. If we really start a war, it will definitely be a good opportunity. We must take this opportunity to expand our strength and influence. You must not miss it."

"That's natural!" Lin Zhao thought to himself, he had been expecting it for a long time.How could a general familiar with the situation there not participate in the war against Tubo?This is an excellent opportunity. Lin Zhao has been looking forward to it for a long time, and he will never miss it easily.

Since it was Lin Zhao's decision, Di Qing and the others would naturally not object, and they should fully cooperate.For them right now, the importance of the Western Army is self-evident. Only by completely controlling the Western Army can they have a showdown with Zhao Xu.Although there are many convenient conditions at the moment, they all know that this matter is not easy, and there is a long way to go.This is just the beginning, and it needs to be developed gradually.

Di Qing said: "Young Master, as I said, a lot of support is needed to seize the throne, and there is another one that is also crucial in the palace, the court, and the army."

"What does Duke mean?"

"The world of the people who win the hearts of the people!" Di Qing said meaningfully: "The aspirations of the people are very important to the ownership of the throne. This is true in troubled times and changing dynasties, and the same is true in prosperous times. Emperor Renzong has been in office for ten years and has a very good reputation. Zhao Zongshi Not to mention a short-lived ghost, but now Zhao Xu reuses Wang Anshi's reform, and the people have complained a lot, which is a very bad influence on him.

The young master had opposed the young crops law at the beginning, and even opened a warehouse to release grain in Hangzhou. This is an act that won the hearts of the people.It's just that the son's status was not high at that time, and his influence was only limited to a few people.This is far from enough, you need to pay attention to doing things in the future, and try to expand your reputation and virtue as much as possible.

Although fighting for the throne is a matter of fighting for strength and a risky behavior, the support of the people is still crucial.Especially after ascending the throne, public discussion and recognition are very important.Therefore, this matter must be discussed in the long run and prepared early. "

"What Di Gong said is true, I will pay attention to it." Lin Zhao smiled, but he was used to doing good deeds without leaving his name, and now it seems that it is not acceptable.Fame is very important. It seems that in the future, you will have to do things in a high-profile way, and sometimes you will have to pretend.Maybe this is the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves!

"Your Highness, let's make a decision like this first! The top priority right now is the peace talks with Xixia, and we will discuss the long-term plan after we return to Bianjing."

"Ok!"

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "When you return to Bianjing, go see the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lin, they miss you very much!"

One is the aunt's mother and the other is the biological mother. Lin Zhao sighed in his heart, the relationship between mother and child is constantly parting, and as a son, he should be filial to his knees.

"Okay, I'll go back to Bianjing!" Lin Zhao agreed immediately.

"Well, the young master has been busy all night, go back and rest earlier!"

"Di Gong is getting older, so he should pay more attention!" Lin Zhao looked at Di Qing's graying hair, and was very moved.

"Old man, his ambition is thousands of miles away, and his old age will be strong!" Di Qing smiled heartily.He is already in his sixtieth year, and he is also a little tired.But in the past 20 years, he has never felt so comfortable and happy as today, and his exhaustion disappeared in an instant, and he was even a little extra excited.

"Mr. Di, I'm short of manpower. Donglin has been doing well recently. How about letting him follow me?" Lin Zhao was not polite on the first day when he knew his identity, and he opened his mouth to ask people to see him.

"That's what it means to let Donglin go to the young master's side!" Di Qing was naturally very happy, and now that they understand each other, they should naturally strengthen contact and cooperation.

"It's a subordinate's honor to be favored by the young master, and I can't ask for it!" Li Cheng said respectfully: "But from now on, the young master can call me Li Cheng, and the name of the subordinate overlaps with the young master, so you should avoid it!" Lin Zhao works by his side, but he is a first-class confidant, who would miss this opportunity to follow the dragon?

It will be different if the identity is disclosed. Lin Zhao is the prince and the future emperor in their hearts.Lin Zhao's nickname was Dongyang, and Li Cheng's nickname was Donglin, which was a bit out of date. He was very self-aware.

Lin Zhao originally cared about it, but then he thought that ancient society paid great attention to avoiding taboos, and if he refused to agree, it made the other party feel uneasy.But this reminded him that if he really ascended the throne in the future, he must change his name. How can the word "East" be taboo?Is it possible that only the North and South Middle Schools will be left in all directions of the world?
"Okay, Mr. Di, Lei Ting, and Li Cheng, I have worked on many things, and Zhao is very grateful!" Lin Zhao knew that he couldn't do without these people.

Being able to persevere for 20 years, people like Di Qing and Jiang Leiting no longer care about honor and favor. As long as Lin Zhao has ambitions and cares about them, that's enough.

"Alright, Li Cheng, let's go back!"

Di Qing hesitated and said, "My lord, over to Madam Zhe..."

"I know it well!" How to tell Zhewenxin, this question is really troublesome.

"Okay!" Di Qing believed that Lin Zhao would handle these trivial matters properly, so he just reminded: "Your Highness, there was a big disturbance in Suizhou City last night, I'm afraid the Xixia people will not be reconciled, so remember to be careful!"

"Yes!" Lin Zhao had the deepest experience of this point, and accidentally slept with the queen mother.Presumably, Queen Mother Liang must be furious, revenge?It is indeed possible, it seems that we must be careful!After thinking about it, Lin Zhao had another strange thought, thinking that it was nothing serious, he was the prince of the Song Dynasty, his status was still higher than that of the Empress Dowager Liang, and sleeping with a woman from a foreign country, that was to think highly of her, it was a favor!

Closer to home, defense must be done well!When he turned around, he let Zhong Shidao and Liu Changzuo move. When he came, he expected that the game of chess in Suizhou would not be easy, and he was afraid that it would not end well.Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The previous preparations can be used, and it is also a good opportunity to exercise.

Let Zhong Shidao and Liu Changzuo perform on multiple stages.Take a long-term view, maybe a commander today will be a general in the future, plotting the Western Army requires unintentional planting of willows, and even more deliberate planting of flowers.It's just that I have to work a little bit harder. I need to be a good gardener to waste my time at the negotiating table.

well!Lin Zhao sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

After turning around and walking a few steps, Di Qing shouted beside him, "By the way, my lord, I almost told you about a happy event!"

"A happy event? Where does the joy come from?"

Di Qing said with a smile: "There is news from Bianjing that Mrs. Meng is pregnant with Liujia!"

"What? Ruoying is pregnant?" Lin Zhao was pleasantly surprised. Isn't this a happy event!

It seems that not only need to be a good gardener, but also a good father, in order to be a good emperor in the future!
