King of Song

Chapter 487 Self-destruction of the Great Wall
Lin Zhao wrote very clearly in the secret memorial that apart from calming the boiling public grievances and stabilizing the situation in Bozhou, he also had a purpose in doing so.

After all, Zhao Xu is not stupid. Although what he justified is very tight, it is just a high-sounding statement after all, and it can be reasoned in the court.But anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there is something tricky in it, and Lin Zhao's little tricks can't be hidden.

Especially Zhao Xu, he naturally understands clearly that maybe he can get away with it on the surface, but there must be a lot of suspicion inside.Lin Zhao didn't hope so, it's definitely not a good thing to arouse Zhao Xu's suspicion at this time.It's better to be selective and honest with each other, maybe there will be different effects.

The disadvantages of Hebei are very serious, and Bozhou is only the tip of the iceberg. If it is not painful or itchy, it will be difficult to shake its foundation.Only with strong medicine and heavy punches can it have a deterrent effect.

This is what Lin Zhao said!
What are the disadvantages, Zhao Xu is very clear.When Lin Zhao went to Hebei, his first priority on the surface was to control the river, but in fact he also shouldered the mission of shaking Mr. Han. This was confessed by Zhao Xu privately, and only the two of them knew about it.

Lin Zhao's implication is that Han Qi's roots in Hebei Road are very deep, and it would be easy to let him go.As long as there is a problem in Bozhou, especially if Han Jun is involved, Mr. Han can leave immediately.But this doesn't work, Han Xianggong is gone, but the blow to him is not serious at all, the foundation of Hebei Road is still there, and the influence is still there.

You know, Zhao Xu's original purpose was not as simple as driving Han Qi away.In this way, he wanted to weaken the power and influence of the old ministers, regain power, and consolidate his position.If it's just like this, the desired effect will not be achieved at all, and a heavy blow must be struck.

Lin Zhao said very cryptically that it was not convenient for the officials to handle many things, so he would do it for himself.I am not afraid of criticism, not afraid of infamy.A posture of understanding the holy will and sharing the Lord's worries is simply a loyal minister.

At the same time, killing more than 3000 soldiers and civilians must be severely punished, otherwise the people of the world will not be able to give an explanation. This is a matter of common anger. Lin Zhao clearly expressed his tough attitude and did not hide it at all.Furthermore, he also emphasized that if the punishment is too light, it will have an impact on the emperor and his own reputation.

There were already rumors in Bozhou that Lin Zhao stood still because he was afraid of Mr. Han.If the imperial court's punishment is too light, then some people will say that the officials favored the honorable queens and ignored the lives of the people.This kind of thing that damages the reputation and loses the hearts of the people must never be done.At the same time, he also vaguely revealed that he also wanted revenge...

Lin Zhao carefully expressed his attitude and feelings to Zhao Xu, in terms of public and private, and emotional and rational.Good or bad, right or wrong, this is a plan that has been discussed with Di Qing for a long time.The speech to Zhao Xu does not need to be perfect, nor does it need to justify itself, the point is to make Zhao Xu feel that Lin Zhao is loyal, and it is good for him to do so.

Of course, there may be a little selfishness in it, and the method may be inappropriate, but there is nothing wrong with it.For the emperor, what is important is the achievement of the goal, and the loyalty of his subjects.After all, Lin Zhao was only in his twenties, so his behavior was more authentic and would not arouse Zhao Xu's suspicion.

After all, it was his order to let Lin Zhao go north to deal with Han Qi, and he also said that except for Han Qi, everyone else could do whatever he wanted.Lin Zhao did not violate his will, and grasped his meaning very accurately, and carried it out more thoroughly than imagined.Facing Lin Zhao's secret melody, Zhao Xu felt a little ashamed.When it came to dealing with Han Qi, I was not courageous enough, and I never thought of uprooting him!

Lin Zhao is really thinking of me everywhere!

Apart from avenging personal revenge, Zhao Xu couldn't think of any other purpose or benefit for Lin Zhao.Hearing that Fan Jiyun's son molested his wives and concubines, Han Jun almost drowned him, and so many people.He vaguely remembered that Lin Zhao had a more emotional side, especially because he couldn't bear to see such outrageous things that both man and God shared.

When Li Fugui massacred more than 1000 soldiers in Dashun City, Lin Zhao gritted his teeth in hatred and felt guilty for a long time.The situation in Qingshuize is similar now, Lin Zhao may have the same state of mind!Zhao Xu understood it very well, but at the same time, he couldn't find any other reason or purpose.

In Zhao Xu's view, through this incident, Lin Zhaosong was able to gain a little bit of insignificant fame, and it was mainly among the people.As a result, many people were offended, and the court was constantly attacked and scolded, which was completely thankless.If it wasn't for his loyalty, if he didn't have a sincere heart, there would be no need for him to do this!

Lin Zhao didn't have bad intentions!

Zhao Xu quickly came to this conclusion, so how to deal with this matter seems to be relatively clear.What's more, Lin Zhao is also needed for the upcoming Yellow River harnessing project!

After the memorial was delivered, Lin Zhao stayed in Bozhou to wait for the news!

Di Qing also rushed over from Daming Mansion specifically for this reason, and now the main battlefield on Hebei Road is in Bozhou, but that's enough, Han Xianggong is already choked up, so don't worry about Daming Mansion.

Lin Zhao's act of stampeding horses caused a relatively large shock, so Di Qing also rushed to make plans for the young master, so that he could get through this hurdle safely.

"It must be okay to write the memorial like that?" Li Cheng was vaguely worried. He felt that he had already succeeded in justifying his words before, so why bother adding more to the snake?

"It has to be written like this, that's the truth, that's a real young man, with joy, anger, and emotions!" Di Qing said: "Whether the young master will be punished or not, those ministers have the final say. Those impeccable words are enough , but it's not easy to shut them up, but it doesn't matter, because the decision is in Zhao Xu's hands..."

"Zhao Xu can tolerate a minister who makes mistakes, but he can't tolerate someone being disloyal to him. As long as it's not a matter of principle, right or wrong doesn't matter." Lin Zhao said softly, "Besides, I didn't do anything wrong this time. It was for his sake, and I did exactly what he asked, as long as my intentions are 'pure' and I have achieved what he needs, what else can I say?"

"Sometimes, the conspiracy needs to be honest, so that it is easier to gain trust!"

"Yeah, you can't hide from the left and right. You can only give a high-sounding excuse to the ministers in the court. Zhao Xu naturally knows it, so let's just say it straight, so as not to have more suspicions!"

Jiang Leiting said: "My lord's move beat Han Qi hard!"

"Hmph, Han Qi is to blame for having such a stupid nephew who doesn't live up to expectations, no one else is to blame!" Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "If there wasn't such an opportunity, how could there be any chance to make Mr. Han suffer? I can't find a chance, so I just want to make things worse and force Zhao Xu to support me. As long as I am not convicted, what do you think Mr. Han will think? Who else will I hate?"

"Han Qi should be terrified, he must think that the emperor wants to deal with him!" Li Cheng smiled, a little proud.

"Let there be a rift between them, and also directly drive Han Qi out of the court. After all, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, and there are too many old students. If he comes forward in the future, it will be very troublesome. Let him lose face this time and leave The influence of the court will gradually disappear." Lin Zhao smiled lightly: "It's a bit regrettable to say that I didn't have the chance to meet Han Xianggong with my own eyes..."

Li Cheng said disapprovingly, "Why see him, he's just a defeated general!"

"No, it's just a fluke. We still have to be careful with this person. We need to disintegrate those so-called ministers of the dragon!" Lin Zhao still attaches great importance to Han Qi, and he cares more about the group represented by him. Those servants who supported Zhao Zongshi back then.

These are enemies, and they are also obstacles in the future.

The reason why Lin Zhao was ruthless this time was somewhat out of revenge.At the same time, it is also in this way to separate them from Zhao Xu.Until now, Zhao Xu still didn't know his identity, and didn't realize that there was a crisis around him.

Over the years, in order to centralize power and consolidate his position, he has been very rude to those around him.Zhao Zongyong's family was imprisoned in the case of selling smuggled salt in Hangzhou, and Zhao Shiju died tragically. Coupled with the suppression of his younger brother Zhao Hao, the power of the clan was largely restricted and weakened.

Supporting Wang Anshi's reform caused the old and new parties to fight each other. No matter which party was a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, they were alienated by Zhao Xu for practical reasons.Now his father's most powerful supporter, the servant of the dragon, also created a rift because of Lin Zhao's unintentional sowing dissension.

Zhao Xu was being led by the nose by Lin Zhao to self-destruct the Great Wall without realizing it at all!
Now the closest person by his side should be Wang Anshi!But how long can Wang Anshi's position as prime minister last?Without Wang Anshi, what would the rest of the New Party mob do?Could it be that he was counting on a cold-tempered person like Lu Huiqing?

Zhao Xu is gradually becoming a real loner!
And Lin played an extremely important role in this process. It was a coincidence before, but now it is intentional, using Zhao Xu's power to destroy his foundation little by little.Sometimes, Lin Zhao felt that his trick seemed a bit sinister.However, compared to his father's cruelty and treachery, he was nothing compared to the big picture!
On the day when Zhao Xu becomes completely alone, it will be time for him to take over!As for the current level, I think there is no problem!

as expected!The emperor Zhao Xu issued an edict, which scratched an imperfect end to the matter of Bozhou.

Lin Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was safe and sound, and he was only reprimanded in a symbolic sense. He was still in charge of Hebei and was in charge of the implementation of the river control project.It has been a long time in autumn, and the water level of the Yellow River has dropped a lot, which is a good opportunity to close the dam.

As for Master Han Qi, the envoy of Xuanfu of Hebei Road, he asked to be resigned because of his old age and infirmity. After Emperor Zhao Xu persuaded him to stay, he approved it and awarded him a reward to save his face.Although Han Xianggong reported Han Jun's incident, the emperor did not blame him, and did not compare Han Xianggong with his nephew.But the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew in their hearts why Han Xianggong stepped down!
Many people have understood that Lin Shilang Shengjuan is Zhenglong!
A small servant killed another prime minister. Taking a careful look at the opponents that Lin Shilang had killed over the years, the ministers all showed shock and retreated, which further confirmed Lin Shilang's title of ghost!

Lin Zhao, who was on his way to Daming Mansion, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said leisurely, "I only care about who will be the next Hebei Road Propaganda Envoy?"
