King of Song

Chapter 445 Tear down your wall and repair my room
The weather was still gloomy, and the hall was brightly lit with brightly lit candles.

Zhao Xu said: "Dongyang, look at this!"

Lin Zhao took it over and saw that it was the memorial to impeach Han Qi and reveal the truth about the Yellow River breach.This is Di Qing's handwriting, and Lin Zhao already knew it by heart.Before entering the palace, he guessed that it might be related to this matter, but it didn't happen.

"Han Xianggong? You can't do that!" Lin Zhao's surprised expression was perfectly lifelike.After all, Han Qi was highly respected in the Song Dynasty, so as a junior, he couldn't easily question it.

Zhao Xu sighed: "I don't want to believe it, but some things are true, so it's not impossible."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, or some accidental behavior, which was caught by someone with a heart, and connected together, so that the fake is confused with the real!" In fact, Di Qing couldn't completely conclude that Han Qi had a problem with this matter, but the things he collected were very clever. Sending it to Zhao Xu in front of him will naturally trigger associations.

After all, Zhao Xu's suspicion is still very heavy.Lin Zhao was given the right to arbitrate Hebei, and an eunuch was specially sent to monitor him. An influential and powerful minister like Han Qi was more likely to be suspected.To some extent, Di Qing took advantage of Zhao Xu's weakness.

Lin Zhao, on the other hand, deliberately pretended to be surprised, and mentioned everywhere how Han Qi was highly respected, how he contributed to the country, and so on.The more this is the case, the more it will make Zhao Xu feel that Han Qi's influence is too great, or even too big to lose, and he will naturally be on guard in his heart.He said he didn't believe it, but in fact he had been suspicious of Mr. Han for a long time.Others don't know about Huang Chengsi's secret methods, but Lin Zhao and Di Qing are very clear about it.

"Dongyang, since I have given you the right to be arbitrary, the first thing you need to do when you go to Hebei is to find out about this matter. I will never condone traitors." Zhao Xu's words seemed righteous, but they actually betrayed his most fundamental ideas.

Lin Zhao said fortunately: "I will definitely do it. Anyone who hinders the river governance and harms the interests of the Song Dynasty should be severely punished. It's just that the minister needs to ask His Majesty for instructions. How to control this level?"

"Han Xianggong has high morals and high prestige, so don't move lightly. As for other people, you can figure it out!" Zhao Xu's words almost gave Lin Zhaosheng the right to kill or seize. Except for Han Qi, everyone else can immediately kill them on the spot with Yujian .As for Han Qi, his identity is there, and it's not easy for ordinary people to move around.Even for Zhao Xu, it is estimated that he has to weigh it carefully, and the treatment method will definitely not be harsh, and it is estimated that it will be mostly gentle and light.

This is enough, letting Zhao Xu and Han Qi turn against each other is tantamount to breaking his arm, without Han Qi in the future, it will be much easier to deal with Zhao Xu.You must know that young people like Zhao Xu are not difficult to deal with. What is really scary is this kind of old fox who is scheming and hiding his secrets.

However, what happened to Han Qi moved Lin Zhao's mind. Among the available people in his hands, Di Qing was good at military affairs and intelligence, Ouyang Xiu's appeal, and Zhao Yan's uprightness, but there was a lack of such people who were good at strategy and fighting against the court. talent.This is a shortcoming that must be filled as soon as possible.

You can improve your level, or find a counselor.However, it seems that such a highly respected leader in the court is also needed, not only leading the struggle, but also involving the aspirations of the people.As long as there is such a big person standing by his side, then a large number of people will be on the lookout.

At present, there are not many people like this in the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi is naturally not good, Sima Guang is too upright, Zeng Gongliang is about to retire, and Fu Bi, although highly respected, is already in his twilight years.Then there seems to be only Mr. Wen Yan Bowen who has this qualification and strength and can be considered.

Wen Yanbo and Han Qi were at odds. Han Qi was superior to Wen Yanbo because of his support for Zhao Zongshi's ascension to the throne these years and his meritorious service as a dragon.Presumably Wen Xianggong is somewhat unconvinced!Furthermore, because of Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu relegated Wen Yanbo to a local place and swept away his face. Wen Xianggong may not have no idea.

Moreover, Wen Xianggong seems to have a good impression of himself, and he seems to have been encouraging his sixth son, Wen Jifu, to associate with him.To this day, they still have contacts with each other, and with this friendship, they will be able to talk more or less in the future, and it will not appear too abrupt.

Of course, we still have to think of ways from other aspects. Wen Xianggong must do something to win support.

Lin Zhao didn't know that Zhao Xu was also helping him secretly.He is preparing to replace Han Qi with Wen Yanbo as Xuan Fu envoy of Hebei Road.At that time, Lin Zhao happened to be governing the river in Hebei, and there would be more intersections and exchanges with Wen Xianggong.What's more, they also have a common enemy, Han Qi, so it doesn't seem difficult to make some friends!
But Zhao Xu didn't know that he was not only destroying the Great Wall himself, but also making wedding clothes for his opponent!He couldn't even believe that Lin Zhao, who was standing in front of him respectfully in the Chui Gong Palace, was thinking about these things and harboring evil intentions.

"Dongyang, you need to pay more attention to the river governance. It was I who treated you badly in the past. As long as you work hard, you will have a bright future!"

The emperor patted a minister on the shoulder and said that you have a bright future, which means it is self-evident.If it is on someone else, you will be flattered and happy.It's a pity that Lin Zhao is not rare, his boundless future is the dragon chair, the throne, Zhao Xu must not be willing to give it.

At the same time, Zhao Xu was also apologizing to Lin Zhao, for what he did with Li Fugui was really dishonest.It's just that the damage has already been done before I think of apologizing, it's too late!Maybe it's hypocrisy again, but he just wants to use this to make himself work for him to control the river!But it's okay, under such circumstances, only by gaining Zhao Xu's trust can we develop calmly.Take advantage of his strength to beat himself, and use his strength to beat himself. Lin Zhao will also play four or two tricks this time.

"Yes, I will definitely do my best!" Although I thought so in my heart, I put on an expression of honor and excitement on my face. I have to say that Lin Zhao's acting skills are getting better and better.

"Go when the rain stops, and see if the breach can be blocked in time. If the river doesn't return to the east, I won't be at ease!"

Lin Zhao could fully understand this feeling. The iron cavalry of the Liao Kingdom stared at them like a tiger, and the splendid rivers and mountains were threatened at any time. It was really unpleasant.The country belongs to Zhao Xu, and it also belongs to Lin Zhao. Perhaps at this moment, they are the only ones who really feel sorry for the country.Just being distressed does not solve the problem, it is to find a way to change the status quo.

Both of them had such thoughts, but it was a pity that Zhao Xu went the wrong way and he couldn't do it.So Lin Zhao took up this important task without hesitation, and leave this matter to me!

"Okay!" Lin Zhao said, "Your Majesty, there is a saying that three people become tigers. If I go to Hebei, there will be rumors. It's just that I have a sincere heart to govern the river. My ancestral home is from Hebei, and all relatives died in Hebei. Flooding, that's why I have to resolve to solve the flood problem of the Yellow River. Otherwise, their spirits in heaven will not rest in peace, and I will never do that kind of unfilial thing."

Everyone knew the lie about his background, so Lin Zhao unceremoniously brought up the matter and made up a story for Zhao Xu.In this way, the motivation for governing the river by oneself will be more reasonable. At the same time, in ancient times, filial piety was used to rule the world. Naturally, filial piety was highly valued, and it was easy to arouse resonance.When Lin Zhao said this, Zhao Xu believed in Lin Zhao's pure heart of river governance even more in his heart.

This is indeed true. Lin Zhao just wanted to concentrate on managing the Yellow River well, and he had no selfish intentions in this matter itself.There will never be situations of cutting corners and using power for personal gain. From this perspective, Lin Zhao is indeed the most suitable candidate for river governance.For Lin Zhao, all he wants is the successful process and results of river governance.In the process, "eliminate dissidents" and leverage strength to improve one's status and strength invisibly.As for the result, it is the reputation and the popular will.

Zhao Xu nodded lightly: "Okay, as long as you can manage the Yellow River well, you can go ahead and do it. I believe in you and support you!" Zhao Xu is really interested in governing the Yellow River, and is even willing to support Wang Anshi's reform Lin Zhao.It's just that he is suspicious after all, and it's impossible to believe it completely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Lin Zhao was very fortunate, now that concealment of identity is a great advantage, if not for this, it would be impossible to develop and grow in such a calm and secret way.Now that he is fighting Zhao Xu head-on, he will definitely lose. He has to dig a little bit from him and tear down his walls to repair his own house.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Xu looked at Lin Zhao, thinking from the bottom of his heart that Lin Zhao is indeed a talent to make.According to the current trend, you can completely become your own minister.In the past, he was treated poorly, but in the future, he needs to win over him more.He would never have imagined that Lin Zhao was destined to be different from him, and that every kindness to Lin Zhao now is a knife prepared for his future self!

Lin Zhao secretly laughed in his heart, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is still raining, and it may take some time to make the cement and Junchuan loquat. After the rain stops, let the people from the Ministry of Industry go to inspect and formulate a specific construction plan. If Yes, can I wait until after the Double Ninth Festival before going to Hebei? My wife will give birth around the time of the Double Ninth Festival, can you let me take a look at the baby before leaving?"

Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dongyang, who said you have no selfish intentions, isn't that true?"

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, autumn and winter are the time to harness the river, and I don't know how long the rain will last." Zhao Xu sighed looking at the rainy sky outside, then smiled and said, "Is your first child? Father's mood is completely understandable, so I will allow you to stay for a few more days and listen to the child's cries!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although the matter of Zhihe was important, Lin Zhao really wanted to stay with Meng Ruoying for a few more days and watch the birth of the child, which was naturally the best.

Speaking of children, Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling a little sad.The first three sons all died, and the harem thought that the concubine was pregnant again. I wonder if the child will grow up safely?

There are thousands of miles of land, no successors and no one!
