King of Song

Chapter 511
The four years of Xining was a year full of disasters for the Song Dynasty, but it was also a year worth celebrating.

The invasion of Xixia and the breach of the Yellow River, these two events were earth-shattering, and the whole country's heart was raised in their throats. The emperor Zhao Xu and the ministers were all overwhelmed by it.

But fortunately, there were no dangers, and they were all resolved smoothly in the end.

Xixia was defeated in Qingzhou and Suizhou, and finally had to strike down and make peace.After raging for more than two months, the Yellow River has finally calmed down, the breach has been blocked, the embankment is being strengthened, and the river course is also being dredged. Perhaps in the future, the flood of the Yellow River can be completely resolved.

Although the Song Dynasty lost a lot after the two incidents, it is very fortunate that it did not lead to a more terrible disaster in the end.Perhaps it is for this reason that the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty were a little afraid of trouble, and many times they were more willing to calm things down, including spending money to buy peace.

At the end of the year, both the emperor and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. In retrospect, these two major events cannot be separated from one person.That is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Marquis Lin Zhao of Weiyuan!

The war between Qingzhou and Wuding River was the result of Lin Shilang's strategizing and personally leading the army to fight. He took out the river control plan and put it into practice.

In an instant, Lin Zhao, Marquis of Weiyuan, became the person who contributed the most to the Song Dynasty.

The old can't help admiring, the younger generation is formidable, the rare young hero.The younger ones are very envious, Lin Shilang is a young high-ranking official, he is really lucky.However, there are also some people who are more self-aware and need to weigh their own weight before envying them. No one like Lin Shilang has the ability.

Furthermore, there are many people who are popular.Look at how many memorials have been made to impeach Lin Shilang this year?The crime of colluding with the enemy country has been charged several times, and there is also the use of torture without authorization, which is disrespectful to the emperor.Thinking about it carefully, it is not easy for Lin Shilang to come all the way. If he wants to get to that point, he must first have the ability to resist blows like others!

Harnessing the river is a great achievement, and it stands to reason that one should do good deeds.But Lin Zhao is only in his twenties, and he has already been appointed as a marquis, and several wives have also been granted orders. How should he be rewarded this time?Is it possible to be directly named the Duke of the country?What a joke, he is not a son of the clan, and he is not inheriting his father's title. Even if he has made great achievements, he will not be able to be named a duke.Otherwise, how could the respected prime ministers who have worked so hard in the court for decades be embarrassed?
Oh, right!Wang Xianggong is now only Linchuan Bo, and his title is still under Lin Shilang!Therefore, it is really difficult to make a conclusion about the award.Some people also said that if you are too young to occupy a high position, it is inevitable that you will take credit for it and be proud, so it is not appropriate to award it too quickly.So under the balance of the court, the matter of rewards was put on hold for the time being.

Of course, there is always a high-sounding reason.The river control project has not yet been completed, nor has it passed the flood test, so it needs to be investigated.So this matter will be discussed later, and the merits will be rewarded when the merits are completed.But everyone knows it well, but in terms of the speed of blocking the breach, it is a great achievement.

But all the ministers who went to Hebei Road to see the concrete embankment raised their thumbs up and praised after returning. This experience is really solid, and it will definitely stand the test of the flood.It's only a matter of time before the award is granted, it's just to sharpen Lin Houye's temper.

This time will not be long, and the ministers of the DPRK and China all agree so!With the speed of Lin Shilang's meritorious service, it is unknown what amazing feats he will make in the coming year.

This is a lucky star, the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty.

But it is also a evil star, the evil of all officials.

Han Xianggong's overall defeat on Hebei Road made Manchu civil and military see Lin Shilang's ability.Capable, with means, fearless but very scary.He is also protected by the government, so he has already earned the title of "Ghost Seeing Sorrow". Now who provokes Lin Shilang?Under normal circumstances, they are afraid to avoid it.

Of course, more people moved their minds.Lin Shilang is very generous, if he can make friends with him and build up a relationship, it must be beneficial to his career and interests.

Lin Shilang himself is not in Bianjing, so it doesn't matter!Isn't Madam Hou in Bianjing?As a result, every household has launched wife diplomacy.

First, it was the full moon day of Lin Qiuning, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan. Every household that was interested sent congratulatory gifts, and many wives came to visit to show their respect.Not long after, it was reported that Weiyuan Hou's wife and Ping's wife were pregnant at the same time. There were many happy events, and each family naturally seized the opportunity and tried their best to curry favor.

The Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has always been full of guests, but they are all female guests. After all, Lin Shilang himself is not here, so the suspicion of men and women should be avoided.At the beginning, Chai Minyan even came out to greet and entertain in person.However, there were too many female relatives who came to the door later, and the pregnancy months increased, and there were physical inconveniences, so they often declined, and they mainly left it to Gu Yuelun to deal with it.

Over the past few years, Gu Yuelun has really experienced it, and now he is very generous and capable, and he is not at all ambiguous in welcoming and sending.

The visiting female relatives repeatedly praised her, and someone learned that she was Lin Shilang's cousin, who was beautiful and elegant, and hadn't left the cabinet yet, so they thought about it, if they could marry Weiyuanhoufu, it would be very beneficial.

But after thinking about it, this girl Gu is only the cousin of Master Hou, and it is common for aunts and cousins ​​to get married these days.After careful inquiry, Miss Yuelun is almost in her [-]s. You must know that in these days, it is very common for women to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so they can be called old girls.

So……

After a little scrutiny, the situation is intriguing!Therefore, he immediately dismissed the idea, don't fail to get married, and even become a love rival with Lin Shilang, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If you want to get married, you can only think of another way, either send your daughter to the Hou Mansion as a concubine, or you can only wait for the two cousins ​​of Lord Hou to grow up!

Of course, some people also came up with the method of indirect marriage.You can marry the natal families of the wives of Marquis Weiyuan, isn't that also a relative?Isn't that how nepotism is maintained?

So much so that the married sons of the Chai family, the Cao family and the Zhe family, and the girls in the boudoir have become very popular because of Marquis Weiyuan!
Of course, this situation also aroused the dissatisfaction of some speech officials, and impeached Lin Shilang's cronies.As a result, Princess Chu came forward and said that the empress dowager said that all the people who come and go are female relatives, and the women in the boudoir come and go, so it is necessary to make a noise in the court and contact others?

This is also true, what is more important is the protection of the Empress Dowager, it seems that Lin Shilang's foundation is solid, so everything will be over!
Lin Zhao only learned about this on the way back. He never expected that his family members were in such a situation, and that he was so popular.

clique?I still want to be like this, the more people who come to the door, the better, the more the better!
