King of Song

Chapter 447
After things happen, most of the people are watching the excitement, and only the parties concerned are in a hurry.

Lin Zhao served as Minister of Industry, and the news that he presided over the river control affairs soon spread to Daming Mansion, the core position of the Yellow River breach this time.

"Damn, I'm going back to the east again!"

In a mansion, several people sat around a wine table drinking and having fun.Because of the continuous rain, it was damp and cold, and it felt good to drink two sips of wine to drive away the cold.However, the purpose of these people's gatherings is obviously not to drink, but to discuss matters.

"This time I return to Dongliu, I'm afraid those good fields in Qingshui Ze will not be able to keep it."

Several people are dressed in brocade clothes, and their backgrounds are extraordinary.As for the topic of discussion, it seems to be related to the Yellow River.

"It's really bad luck. Isn't Beiliu very good? The Daming Mansion will not be threatened, and our fertile land is safe and sound. But those old men in the court insist on returning to the river and Dongliu. Is it that easy?"

"Yeah, Dongliu is not peaceful, and there is also the danger of breaking through. By then, the fertile land we have worked so hard to buy will be a swamp country."

"Didn't you just say that Lin Shilang invented a new material called cement, which can make the embankment as solid as gold?"

"Do you really believe it?"

"It's not like you don't know the situation of the Yellow River. It's as solid as gold, what are you kidding about? When Zhihe didn't say that, what happened?"

"It doesn't matter what happens in the future, the key is this year..."

"Yeah, I heard that the government gave him the power of discretion, and he has the final say on all affairs of the river. Will there be any further investigation into the cause of the breach..." Mentioning this matter, everyone's faces were full of embarrassment. Some worried color.

"The key point is that this person is very powerful. It is said that many people have suffered from him. There are high-ranking officials and clan relatives who have been defeated by him. He has also sent envoys a few times, killing Khitan people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people. He was disgraced and became a marquis at a young age."

"It's nothing more than a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. How can it be so good in all aspects? It's not easy to rule the river!"

Lin Zhao's reputation in the Northwest is very famous, but in Hebei Road, he is very ordinary. After all, they have no contact, and they have no intersection with Lin Zhao, so they have no experience.

"You're still young after all, maybe you know some engineering, but river governance is not just a simple engineering problem? It's complicated, he's still too immature!"

"Don't take it lightly. Since Lin Zhao can come, we have to be more careful. Let's fool around a bit first, and find out the truth before we talk!"

"Hey, you guys are really scared like this by a brat? As for?"

"Ming Yi, even though Uncle Ling is here, you still need to be more careful. After all, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

"Why worry, with Mr. Han here, no matter who comes, the land of Hebei is as stable as Mount Tai. As for the governance of the river, let's see what that servant Lin does!"

"Yeah, what can he do? How will the officials find us? We are all ministers of the dragon..."

Most of these people are nobles in the Hebei area. They or their fathers and grandfathers have contributed to the enthronement of Yingzong Zhao Zongshi. They can be regarded as ministers of the dragon, so they have nothing to fear.Among them, Han Jun is also the nephew of Han Qi and Mr. Han, so he is naturally extraordinary.

After Han Jun finished the party, when he returned to his residence, someone came to inform him: Master is here!

The master is naturally Han Qi. Han Qi's parents died when he was young, and he was brought up by his elder brother.And he has been teaching him to read, and finally passed the Jinshi examination, so that he can be ranked as the prime minister and have power over the world.It was precisely because Han Qi was very grateful to his elder brother, and after his elder brother passed away, he loved his nephew very much.

The eldest brother and the youngest son Han Jun were directly raised by him, hoping to study hard and make achievements in the imperial examination.However, this talent is mediocre, and he is not very up-to-date, and he failed to be named on the gold list in Li Zhinian.Han Xianggong was very helpless and sent him to Taixue. In the end, the officials looked at their own face and wanted the official position of the head of the county government.After a few years of qualifications, relying on Han Xianggong's status and skills, it is not difficult to find a family background for him.

"well!"

Han Jun was a little reluctant, so he set off.

Daming Mansion Yamen, Han Qi and Han Xianggong are sitting in the study and meditating.Han Xianggong is in his sixtieth year, his hair is already gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead are already deep, but his eyes are extraordinarily bright and deep.Decades of struggling in the power field of the Song Dynasty made him look particularly profound, with a kind of aura that is not angry and self-aggrandizing.

Han Xianggong held an official document from Bianjing, and the government appointed Lin Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to take charge of the river regulation.This is nothing at all. The Yellow River burst, and the court must have countermeasures.The breach was in the Daming Mansion, so I was somewhat responsible for it. It was a natural disaster, and the officials couldn't blame me for it. The last memorial can be said to be watertight.

But in this case, the officials sent Lin Zhao to come.Although he didn't have much contact with Lin Zhao, he still knew a lot about this rookie from the Song Dynasty. However, in his 20s, he had accomplished such a big event. so smooth.Maybe there is an element of luck in it, but this person's ability is by no means ordinary.

I heard that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had a special relationship with this person, and Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yan also spoke highly of this person.But what he cared more about was the attitude of his old friend and rival Wen Yanbo. It was said that the old guy's son Wen Jifu had a close relationship with Lin Zhao.Although Wen Jifu is the sixth child, he is the best among Wen Yanbo's disciples. Can Wen Yanbo not know his every move?Perhaps this itself was inspired by him.

There is also the Cao family, who is an uncle of the country and has a high status, although he does not have a prominent official position.But in the past hundred years, there have been many old disciples, and they have a very deep background in the military.In addition to the old lady in the Qingshou Palace, the influence is extraordinary.Under such circumstances, Cao Yi was also wooing Lin Zhao.

Although Cao Yi recognized Lin Zhao's wife, Chai Minyan, as a righteous daughter because he saved his life by treating illnesses, but Han Qi didn't think so.In addition to the grace of saving his life, what Cao Yi valued more should be the prospect of his niece and son-in-law.Han Xianggong, who has been immersed in the court for decades, always considers the relationship of power and interests when looking at anything.

It can be seen from this that this Lin Zhao is by no means ordinary. Although he is young, he can be considered a formidable opponent.But Han Xianggong is proud of the court, who is his opponent?Even Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Di Qing are all defeated, and a junior will naturally not take it seriously.

What he was worried about was another will of the official Zhao Xu, and Lin Zhao had the arbitrary right to govern the river.

The floods of the Yellow River are mainly concentrated on Hebei Road, and this arbitrary power to control the river is tantamount to saying one thing about Hebei Road.But I am the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, and Lin Zhao's authority conflicts with my own.I heard that the officials and officials gave him Yujian, so under such circumstances, the power is still above him.

Xianggong Han doesn't care about the power, what he cares about is the attitude of the officials.

This is to share power with him, which shows that the officials have begun to suspect him.He is a veteran of the three dynasties and has served as a prime minister for decades. His disciples are all over the world, and his prestige is very high, few people can compare.The most important thing is that I have helped Zhao Zongshi ascend to the position. Although Conglong's skill is good, it is indispensable to be a master of great power.

It was okay during the Yingzong Dynasty, the emperor needed his assistance to stabilize the situation, but Han Xianggong also knew it well, he could grasp the propriety well, and knew how to retreat bravely.Especially after the current emperor Zhao Xu ascended the throne, it is not a good thing for him to stay in Bianjing for one emperor and one courtier.

So Han Qi decisively left the center of the imperial court and came to Xuanfu Hebei.Wang Anshi of the middle dynasty reformed the law, and the old and new parties were in dispute. Han Xianggong ignored it and avoided it deliberately.At the same time, it is also to avoid the suspicion of the official Zhao Xu and cause unnecessary trouble.

He has been in Daming Mansion for several years, and if it wasn't for the Yellow River breach this time, Han Xianggong would not have been involved in the whirlpool.Although it was calm at the moment, Han Qi knew very well that this was the calm before the storm, and he would be involved in the storm sooner or later.

After leaving Bianjing, I still can't avoid it after all.Now Han Qi understands that even if he is released, the emperor may not be at ease with him.Now he can vaguely understand how Di Qing was often consoled when he first came to know Chenzhou.The officials are still worried, so they use this excuse to let a brat divide his power.

Although Lin Zhao himself proposed the arbitrary right to govern the river, God knows it wasn't ordered by Zhao Xu before?Even if he didn't, he agreed to show that he had such an idea. Although Zhao Xu was young, he was very suspicious, and Han Qi knew this well.Furthermore, he also knew that Zhao Xu was cruel.

In order to suppress the clan, he could imprison his uncle Yuhang County King Zhao Zongyong and his family to make an example of them.So when he wants to suppress the veteran, will he use the same method?Back then in Hangzhou, wasn't Lin Zhao the one who did it?Is this going to be repeated?
Han Qi was a little worried!
If it's just decentralization, it's okay, just keep a low profile, and at worst, he will resign immediately and return to his hometown.But giving birth to Lin Zhao or giving him a royal sword to act cheaply, what does that mean?It shows that the officials are not only jealous and wary...

Let Lin Zhao's power override him, is it necessary to explicitly deal with him?To kill the chicken to warn the monkey, is he a chicken or a monkey?Han Xianggong has a deep worry. In the era of the world, the suspicion of the emperor is terrible.As for the kindness to the king, it is worthless.In the face of power and interests, who can the king be polite to?Ruthless is the emperor's family, which is not wrong.

It's fine if I'm clean, maybe I can get away with it.But is it really clean?Nephew, what did they do?Could he not know?Although he didn't participate, he acquiesced.These are all clues, as long as Lin Zhao catches them, they can make a big fuss, and Zhao Xu will not be polite to him at that time!

So before Lin Zhao arrives, all tails must be dealt with!As for the nephew, he must also be tapped to wake him up.

Thinking of his nephew, Han Xianggong hated iron for being weak!
