King of Song

Chapter 594
Zheng Guogong, General Yunhui, Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road!
Lin Zhao has many titles, but there is only one who really shakes the title, and that is Shaanxi Road Xuanfu Envoy!
It is real power to be in charge of the military and political power in the Northwest, and to be in charge of the Western Army with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Song Dynasty.Although there is the control of the Privy Council, once the leader of the Western Army has made great achievements in battle and has a high prestige, it is difficult to control.

For example, Di Qing back then, and Lin Zhao today!
So Zhao Xu moved his mind and prepared to relieve Lin Zhao from the position of Xuanfu Envoy of Shanxi Road.As for the replacement candidate, he had already thought about it and let Wang Shao go.

Originally Xihe Kaibian was the main character, but because of his mother's serious illness, he stayed behind to fulfill his filial piety.Now that Mrs. Wang is fully recovered, Wang Shao has nothing to worry about.He is familiar with military affairs in the Northwest, and without military merits, he will not be so powerful that he can guarantee the stability of the Northwest, so he is the most suitable candidate.

Sitting on the throne for six years, because his father Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne as a descendant of the clan, the environment was special and the pressure was great.As a result, Zhao Zongshi couldn't hold on. After only four years in office, this pressure was naturally passed on to Zhao Xu.

And he himself was only 20 years old when he came to the throne, very young, ambitious, and doing things in a hurry.But in his heart, he was not confident.In addition, various incidents after ascension to the throne, rebellion, natural disasters, and battles in the court all put heavy pressure on Zhao Xu.

Lack of self-confidence is manifested as suspicion and strong suspicion.As time went by, this suspicion became more and more serious.

Lin Zhao made great contributions to him, and before he returned to Bianjing, he began to be suspicious.He didn't think about how to comfort and reward the courtiers who did meritorious service, but he began to doubt whether his loyalty would threaten him?And trying to find a way to deal with him.

Zhao Xu was a little hesitant at first, the reason was not to say that he would not let it go, but because he was afraid of acting too hastily, leaving something behind, and making people gossip.

But he was also afraid of long nights and dreamy nights, and that the Northwest would not settle down, so he was always uneasy.He has even planned that there will be a grand court meeting on March [-] tomorrow, and Lin Zhao will go to the palace to face the king, and then he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will rise and fall secretly.

But unfortunately, born at this time, news came that Lin Zhao's old injury had relapsed and he fell ill in Zhongmou.

What an unfortunate coincidence!
Zhao Xu was helpless, but his suspicious personality made him subconsciously wonder if Lin Zhao had done something wrong?After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything. Lin Zhao's performance these years has always been loyal, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Maybe it's my own overthinking!
Just at this time, Li Chenghua, the county magistrate of Zhongmu, wrote a letter!It was to report to the imperial court that Zheng Guogong was ill, and there were some words in the lines about how he took good care of him.

Li Chenghua wrote the letter because he was afraid that something might happen to Lin Zhao and he would not be able to explain it, so he first reported it to the court.At the same time, it is also showing merit to the court, and I hope that the officials and ministers will be slightly promoted for the sake of serving the heroes of the Song Dynasty diligently!It's also good to get acquainted in front of officials and husbands.

The magistrate's memorandum should be fine, Lin Zhao may really be ill!On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and injuries are common. It is also reasonable to ride the horse back to Beijing and induce old injuries due to bumps and fatigue.

Zhao Xu was a little relieved, but after a while, another layer of frost appeared on his face, which made him more determined to restrain Lin Zhao.

After all, Li Chenghua was a county magistrate, but he was so considerate to Lin Zhao, it was obvious that he was flattering him.As a courtier, his prestige and influence are already too high, he must be suppressed!
Zhao Xu suddenly sent Li Chenghua's memorial to the imperial case, and remained silent for a long time.When the servant came to pick up the official reply, he thought that the official would not issue it, so he didn't ask...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Zhao was lucky. Fortunately, he got to know Shao Yong's master, and he passed by Luoyang to visit him.

Mingyuezong delivered the news very quickly. After Zhao Xu decided to hold a grand sacrifice on March 29, Emperor Renzong's Memorial Day, Lin Zhao received the news on the same day.

After Shao Yong learned about it, he suggested that Lin Zhao delay his return to Beijing!

April 29th was replaced by March [-]th, which showed that Zhao Xu was impatient and couldn't wait for half a month.In this way, it is very likely that you can't wait for a day or two.

The position of Xuanfu Envoy of Shanxi Road is very important to Lin Zhao, which is related to controlling the Western Army, returning to the Northwest in a legitimate way, and many other things.In case Zhao Xu couldn't wait and took the opportunity to quickly remove Lin Zhao's position, it would be a waste of money.

Even if he proves his status as a prince, he may be forced to stay in Bianjing by Zhao Xu!It would be different if he had the status of the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road, at least he could fight for it!

Of course, maybe Zhao Xu wouldn't be in such a hurry, but the matter was so important that he couldn't take any risks.

The best way is to procrastinate!

And the only excuse is to pretend to be sick, and the location chosen is Zhongmou!
Here is very close to Bianjing, if there is any trouble, you can know it in the shortest time, and you can also rush back to Bianjing city in time.At the same time, a small county town cuts off the possibility of interacting with the powerful, so that it will not be suspected.If Luoyang is left behind, then Zhao Xu will definitely suspect Lin Zhao's intentions.

After the Northwest War, the unprecedented illustrious military exploits, rewards for meritorious deeds will naturally not be hasty, and the day of the Great Court Meeting must be chosen.As long as it lasts for a few days, after the Great Court Meeting on March 25th and March 29th, it will be able to survive until the [-]th.
At the same time, Shao Yong felt that it would still be difficult to successfully control the Western Army just as a Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road.After thinking about it, offer a plan!
Lin Zhao was very excited after hearing this. It was a wonderful move, and I am not afraid that Zhao Xu would not agree!

But before that, you need to get through these critical ten days!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The peach blossoms are shining brightly, and Bianjing is full of spring.

Many people in the city rushed out of the city for a youthful outing. Even if they did not leave the city, there was an endless stream of people on the banks of the Bian River, the Jinshui River, and the Iron Pagoda Lake to watch the scenery and enjoy the spring.

Spring brings hope to people, and the people of Bianjing are all filled with the joy of spring.Looking at other people's smiles, Lu Huiqing couldn't laugh.

He is now a political adviser, deputy prime minister, and leader of the new party.It stands to reason that such an identity is a powerful figure in Song Dynasty.

Lu Huiqing also thought so before. Instead of Wang Anshi, she is pointing the country, and the scenery is infinite.Unfortunately, since he came to power, Song Dynasty's focus has shifted from internal affairs to foreign wars.

The Northwest fought fiercely with Tubo and Xixia, and the South fought with Jiaozhi in full swing. In the past two years, it suffered from drought and floods, and the implementation of the reform was difficult.Especially the Green Crop Law, which was supposed to play a role at this time, but in the process of implementation, it put a burden on the common people, so that complaints abounded.

Wang Anshi is a gentleman after all, and he is quite strict with his subordinates.Now that he's gone, the new party officials don't have a bondage on their heads. The newly appointed Lu Huiqing is not a kind person at all.

The new party has been criticized more and more, and its reputation is even worse. Even the emperor Zhao Xu has begun to have opinions.Lu Huiqing was under a lot of pressure, she didn't realize the feeling of being in power, but her status was in jeopardy.Especially the favor of the emperor, if it falls out of favor, the consequences will be dire!
He has offended quite a few people over the years, once he loses power, how many people will want to put him to death?

Lu Huiqing thought hard and couldn't wait until the end of the year. The financial income is still too eye-catching, and the emperor Zhao Xu reluctantly praised it.At the beginning of this year, people's livelihood recovered slightly, the implementation of the new law was smooth, Zhao Xu was satisfied, and Lu Huiqing had a little face.

I wanted to take this opportunity to get some limelight and show some sense of presence, but before it was too late, the good news from the Northwest arrived.

Right now, Lin Zhao, who has made great achievements in the Song Dynasty, is the most popular in the Song Dynasty. Like the scorching sun, it covers up the light of their candles.

Lu Huiqing felt very uncomfortable, if it was someone else, she would just be a little jealous.But it happened that this person was Lin Zhao, the great enemy who killed the two younger brothers, Lu Huiqing felt even more uncomfortable.

Although it has been several years, and the grass on the graves of Lu Heqing and Lu Shengqing is already deep, Lu Huiqing has never given up revenge.

He thought that he would have the strength and capital to deal with Lin Zhao when he became a political adviser and deputy prime minister.

The ruthless reality disappointed him. Lin Zhao's progress far surpassed him. He is now a duke. This time, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. Maybe he will be awarded the title of prime minister or a certain general. His power and prestige cannot be matched Limited.

With my own strength, there is nothing I can do, revenge will become an eternal luxury!
Lu Huiqing was not reconciled, and entered the political affairs hall with a gloomy mood, and met the emperor Zhao Xu.

When he left the palace again, Lu Huiqing had a relaxed expression on his face!

Revenge is not impossible!

Lin Zhao is now very beautiful and powerful, but there is a saying that prosperity must decline, and he will fall when he rises.The higher the position, the more precarious.

I can't deal with Lin Zhao myself, but there is one person who can do it, and that is the emperor!

If you want to do well in the court, you must know how to figure out the emperor's mind, and Lu Huiqing is already very familiar with this.

The emperor is very sensitive, and he is afraid of ministers with high achievements. Once he starts to be suspicious, he will be cruel.The encounter with Han Qi last time was an obvious example, this encounter with Lin Zhao entered the scope of Zhao Xu's suspicion.

Lu Huiqing clearly remembered that after the news of the success of Qingtang City and Lanzhou City was delivered, Zhao Xu was excited at first, but at the end there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

What is he worried about?
Today in the Political Affairs Hall, Lu Huiqing found out that Zhongmu County Magistrate Li Chenghua's memorandum was retained by the officials, and he was furious when he heard that he was very concerned about it.And the content in it is that the official Lin Zhao's old injury relapsed, fell ill in Zhongmou, and the local officials took good care of him.

When playing, he deliberately chose an opportunity to ask about this without being in a hurry.Lu Huiqing noticed the anxiety and uneasiness in the official's eyes!At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Fu Bi warned Zhao Xu that as a king, he should not show his emotions and anger, so that no one can see his likes and dislikes.It's a pity that Zhao Xu didn't keep these words in his heart, and maybe he couldn't do it at all.

Obviously, Zhao Xu has already become suspicious of Lin Zhao!From Lu Huiqing's point of view, this is the inevitable outcome after a master of great achievements, especially when meeting such a suspicious emperor as Zhao Xu!
For him, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If Zhao Xu can be made to intensify his suspicion and suspicion towards Lin Zhao, what will be the result?If some conclusive evidence can be found, the officials will definitely like it more.

It is better to let people feel at ease if they rise brightly and fall darkly!

Lu Huiqing is happy to fan the flames!
