King of Song

chapter 488
The request to become an official was approved, and Han Qi was a little disheartened, and immediately set off to leave the Daming Mansion.

It stands to reason that the new Hebei Road Xuan Fu envoy has not yet arrived, so he should stick around for a few more days to handle government affairs and hand over to the new one.But Han Xianggong didn't want to stay at all. On the one hand, he was depressed and had no interest in political affairs, and on the other hand, he didn't want to meet Lin Zhao.

After a round of criticism in the court, Lin Zhao was safe and sound. He was still the minister of the Ministry of Industry, arbitrarily controlling the river, so what was a few mild reprimands?And he, Han Qi, was approved to retire, but at the cost of his nephew's death.If his nephew caused such a big incident in Bozhou, he must be implicated.Resignation is a way of self-protection, and retreat is the way to advance.

If the emperor wants to stay, it means that he still has a little trust in himself, but Zhao Xu didn't even hesitate.It seems that he just took advantage of his wish, and he agreed, even though he gave himself a lot of rewards, it is very grand to take office as the military governor of Wu Shengjun, Situ and servant.

Looking at the posture, after death, he will be granted a ministerial order or something, and then given a good posthumous title, at worst, he will be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.It seems that Zhao Xu is treating the old minister favorably, but what is his intention in his heart?Han Qi felt chills in his heart. After all, he was the emperor and the courtier.Zhao Xu has a cold temperament, and he doesn't think about the kindness of the past at all!
If he didn't have himself, would his father be able to successfully ascend to the throne of God?Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't mention the past, if you talk too much, you will have some plots against Jun'en.Talking about kindness with the emperor, hum, ruthless is the emperor's family, and Han Xianggong knows this better than anyone else.

Facts have proved that it is Zhao Xu's intention to deal with himself, and Lin Zhao is just an executor.In this matter, Zhao Xu had no choice at all, and had no chance to explain, so he was tricked by Lin Zhao like this.Han Xianggong naturally left suspicions in his heart, and misunderstandings followed.

His nephew died, and his reputation was damaged, so he naturally wanted revenge. Zhao Xu was the emperor, so it was impossible to seek revenge from him, unless it was a rebellion. Mr. Han didn't have the thought and courage.

But Lin Zhao must not let it go, this time the attack on him in the court failed, which is expected.After all, in terms of carelessness and procedure, Lin Zhao did nothing wrong.If you want to deal with this kind of person, you can only start from other places. Don't worry, as long as that person is still in Daming Mansion, everything will be easy to talk about.

No, Lin Shilang is on his way to Daming Mansion!

Han Qi didn't want to meet Lin Zhao, and his enemies were extremely jealous, but after all, it was his nephew who was at fault first. In order to preserve his remaining reputation, Han Qi couldn't be too hostile, and had to put on an air of righteousness.Even though Han Qi is old and hot, he can handle various situations, but not this time.Facing the enemy, he had to force a smile on his face, he couldn't do it.

That being the case, it's better not to see it at all!That's why Han Xianggong had to leave the Daming Mansion first to avoid meeting Lin Zhao.Otherwise, he would have to come forward to greet him in his capacity as the Xuan Fu envoy of the Hebei Road, and sentenced him to the Daming Mansion.As for the government affairs of the Daming Mansion, just leave it to the subordinate officials. If Lin Zhao comes, let him take care of it first.At the same time, leaving this place of right and wrong, the next few things can avoid suspicion.Hmph, Lin Zhao, the old man will not let you go.

This trivial matter is not negligence, Zhao Xu will not embarrass him, anyway, the new Xuan Fu envoy is coming soon, as for the candidate, it must be him, Han Qi smiled lightly, thinking of the face of that old friend .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Hebei Road is very important, and it involves the important task of defending the Liao Kingdom, so the post of Xuanfu envoy cannot be vacant.After Han Qi became an official, Emperor Zhao Xu immediately issued an edict that Heyang Tong sentenced Wen Yanbo to pay homage to Sikong, moved to the Daming Mansion, and served as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road.

The Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road is a very important position, and it must be an important minister with status to take up the position.Wen Yanbo, Wen Xianggong has high morals and high prestige, which is enough to compete with Han Xianggong, and taking over this position can be regarded as a high moral and prestigious one.

Han Qi had expected a long time ago that if Zhao Xu wanted to push him to step down, then he would definitely not leave any foundation on Hebei Road.Therefore, those who come must be able to restrain themselves, and they must not be on the same path as themselves.Wen Yanbo was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, and he also opposed the reform, so Zhao Xu naturally didn't want him to stay in Bianjing.

However, it is not a big deal that all high-ranking officials and prime ministers are demoted. Giving Wen Yanbo the status of a feudal official, coupled with the title of Sikong, can play a soothing role.But in the future, once Zhao Xu seized power and felt that Wen Yanbo was in the way, he would end up in the same way as himself.

But the end may be better!My nephew is so useless, but Wen Yanbo's sons are all outstanding!He has read a lot of poetry and books, won the Jinshi degree, and has no reputation or word of mouth!By the way, I heard that there is a son in his family who is very close to Lin Zhao, so...

It turns out that there is another meaning behind letting Wen Yanbo come to the Daming Mansion. Zhao Xu really took great pains!I hope Wen Xianggong and Lin Shilang can get along well!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wen Yanbo?" Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhao laughed suddenly, feeling a little excited.

He had considered this matter at the beginning. He lacked a minister with high morals, high prestige, strategy, and the ability to respond to everyone. After many calculations, Wen Yanbo seemed to be the most suitable candidate.It's just that this kind of thing can't be rushed at all, it's not easy to plant flowers with heart!

Always have the opportunity to contact, and then slowly draw closer to the relationship.Moreover, with such a sensitive identity, it is absolutely impossible to tell Wen Yanbo directly, and a long-term discussion is needed.Lin Zhao also planned that after returning to Bianjing, he would find a way to get in touch with his family's elder Liu Wen and Fu more, and indirectly develop a relationship with Wen Xianggong.

Now it seems that there is no need, Wen Xianggong came to Hebei Road in person, everything is of course a different matter.Where indirect contact is better, it is better to take this opportunity to get close to Wen Xianggong, to get closer, and to pave the way for future things.

"It must be Wen Yanbo. Zhao Xu wants to completely eliminate Han Qi's foundation and influence. Whether it is status or ability, Wen Kuanfu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

Wen Yanbo, the word wide husband!Only Di Qing and his generation called him this way. How many people dare to call Wen Xianggong in the current Song Dynasty?
"Duke Di already guessed?"

Di Qing said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult to guess. At present, there is no more suitable candidate in the court except Wen Yanbo."

"That's right!" Lin Zhao thought about it for a while and it was true. Now he knows a lot about the official situation in the Song Dynasty.

"Young Master looks happy, seems to be happy that Wen Kuanfu came to Daming Mansion?" Di Qing was a little puzzled when he saw Lin Zhao's performance.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "It just fits with some of my visions!" Then he expressed his thoughts, listening to Di Qing's opinion is one aspect. Bo knows more.On the other hand, to handle this matter like this, Di Qing still needs more help, and Mingyue Sect will cooperate with it.

Di Qing was thoughtful after listening, what the young master said made sense, and such a person is really needed right now.Ouyang Xiu can lead the group and lead the world's scholars; Zhao Yan is selfless, fair and strict, these are the only two they are in contact with right now, but neither can achieve the same effect as Han Qi.

Others may not know it, but Di Qing knows very well that Han Xianggong contributed a lot to Zhao Zongshi's success in the past.Competing for the reserve position requires a highly respected prime minister to preside over the court.At present, there are only a few candidates in the Great Song Dynasty, Fu Bi is already in his twilight years, Han Qi is the sworn enemy, and Zeng Gongliang is about to retire.As for Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Han Jiang, they seem to be inferior in both background and ability, and they are not ideal candidates.

Only one Wen Yanbo is the most suitable!
It is completely reasonable for Lin Zhao to have such a conception, but he has ignored many things.Although the military continued to find ways to increase its strength, the Song Dynasty emphasized civil affairs over military affairs, and the civil official group was also extremely important.Think about how easy it is to stabilize the court without the support of officials?
But in this regard, Ming Yuezong really can't help much.Although Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yan knew the identity of the son, they refused to express their views publicly. Apart from the fact that the Great Song Dynasty fell apart because of this, they probably also had concerns.This is human nature, it is good that they are willing to help, and they cannot be greedy.But Di Qing believes that one day, when Lin Zhao is strong enough, their attitude will change.

The others had no contact, and Sima Guang's performance of supporting Lin Zhao several times did not attract their attention.In their view, Sima Guang wanted to use this to attack Wang Anshi, but they didn't know it was because of Mr. Shao Yong's few prophecies.So for the time being, I didn't think of uniting with Bachelor Sima!As for himself, Di Qing is already a dead person, and it is not convenient for him to show up in public.

Wen Yanbo, on the other hand, is indeed the best candidate, and with such convenience now, it is really worth fighting for!For Lin Zhao, there is no need for certain people to fully support him, he just needs to befriend them. If there is any disturbance in the future, with Zhao Xu's suspicious nature, would he still dare to trust these people?Under pressure, even those who remain neutral will have to fall to Lin Zhao's side.

"It's just... Young Master, Wen Yanbo is very scheming, I'm afraid it's hard to get in touch with!"

"But now is an opportunity. After all, we have a common enemy. Besides, I have a good relationship with the six sons of his family, so I can use this to deepen..." Lin Zhao said with a smile: "You said that Mr. Wen is so old. He has experienced all the honors and disgraces, what is he most concerned about now?"

"It's nothing more than descendants and what happens after the death!" Jiang Leiting replied.

"Yeah, what happened to Han Qi will inevitably make him sad. We have to make good use of it... As for the posthumous reputation, if the great contribution of Shanghe River is added, will Wen Xianggong's great achievements be more complete?" Lin Zhao said with a smile: "If you pay, you will gain. We each get what we need!"
