Chapter 234 I will be the second warlord of the Song Dynasty

After autumn, we always have to settle the accounts.

When Lu Yihao heard Wang Lin's calm voice, his eyes turned dark and he fell to the ground.

The remaining Bai Shizhong and others also showed despair and cried out in vain.

The court officials sighed one after another.

Wang Lin sneered in his heart: I know this, why bother to the beginning?

He entered the imperial study room and, under the guidance of the small yellow gate, went straight into the inner room.

The atmosphere is a bit dull.

Zhao Ji sat upright, Zhao Huan stood on one side with anxiety on his face. Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and Wu Min lowered their heads slightly and stood in the hall silently.

Seeing Wang Lin coming in, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up. He immediately got up and rushed up hurriedly, "Siheng, why are you late?"

"I pay homage to the official family and the prince."

Before Wang Lin finished delivering his tribute, Zhao Ji personally grabbed his hand and walked with him all the way, and ordered the eunuch to give him a seat.

The prince has no seat.

Li Gang has no seat in the three phases.

Only he gave him a seat.

Wang Lin smiled bitterly, how could he sit down?

Let Li Gang and others criticize him for being arrogant because of his favor?

Zhao Huan also smiled slightly: "Siheng is here."

Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and Wu Min all looked at Wang Lin. Wang Lin bowed to the three of them, and the three of them hurriedly returned the greeting.

At this time, in Zhao Ji's heart, Wang Lin's status was no longer accessible.

After all, Wang Lin had saved him twice.

"Siheng, King Yun is planning a rebellion, how to deal with the aftermath? I have repeatedly negotiated with the prince and Li Xiang, but it is difficult to decide. What do you think?"

Wang Lin bowed and said silently: "I am a foreign minister. This time I was ordered by the emperor to go to the capital to quell the rebellion. Fortunately, I am not humiliated. But after the rebellion, I will punish the government and the crown prince and the court. I dare not argue with it."

Li Gang and Zhang Shuye quickly exchanged glances.

At this moment, it is rare for Wang Lin to maintain calmness and rationality with his extraordinary achievements and to uphold the true nature of foreign ministers who do not interfere in politics.

Zhao Huan's eyes flashed and he nodded secretly.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "Siheng, why are you so pedantic? If you don't have your strength to turn the tide, the Song Dynasty will be in danger. If you have made contributions to the country, how can you abandon such a grand plan for the aftermath?"

"Even if you speak freely, I will be sure of everything."

Zhao Huan's mouth twitched.

I couldn't help but give a hint to Wang Lin.

How cunning is Wang Lin? How could he not know that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan and his son must have differences in this matter, and Li Gang and the three of them are just so-called.

If he supports Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji will be determined to be unwilling.

On the other hand, if he stands aside with Zhao Ji, he will offend Zhao Huan.

When the emperor asked in person, he would not be able to express his opinion.

After pondering for a while, he said lightly: "I think that no matter how the commission is punished, a major principle cannot be changed, that is, to ensure the stability of the court and not cause trouble to the innocent."

Zhao Ji suddenly laughed and nodded: "You are saying so much, and I also want to do so."

Zhao Huan was a little anxious: "Siheng, King Yun hooked up with court officials, had an affair with border troops, and planned to rebel and usurp the throne. What a serious crime? If everyone took it lightly, how could the court be convinced? If everyone imitated it in the future, what should the court do?

?”

Wang Lin nodded: "What Your Highness said is extremely true. I also think that those involved in the case should be severely punished and should not tolerate or tolerate evildoers."

Li Gang looked at Zhang Shuye from the side and said to each other: "That's what he said means he didn't say it. Unexpectedly, Young Master Wang is not old, but his mind is like he is old, and he does not offend both the official and the prince."

Zhao Ji frowned: "Crown Prince, I have never said that I should take it lightly, but I don't want to implicate too much innocent!"

Seeing that the father and son were quarreling again, Wang Lin retreated aside and stood with Li Gang.

Li Gang looked at him, and Wang Lin smiled without saying a word.

Wang Lin knew very well that Zhao Ji would not object to killing some court officials involved in the plot of rebellion, such as Lu Yihao.

I'm afraid that what he opposed was the killing of the royal family and implicating the royal family, especially the inner relatives of King Yun.

In this matter, he was absolutely unable to participate in his opinion.

Otherwise, if it spreads out in the future, he will become the executioner who strongly advocates the slaughter of the royal family.

The censors from all walks of life will not let him go.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Ji or Zhao Huan will have to make a decision in the end.

Although from my heart, Wang Lin supported Zhao Huan to eliminate the roots.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan fought for a long time, but no one convinced each other and were a little annoyed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ji began to make concessions: "Forget it. King Yun rebelled. Once the royal family participants were found, they would be killed without mercy. Those involved in the case would be punished and all the children were banned. The offspring produced by King Yun..."

A little struggle appeared between Zhao Ji's eyebrows and eyes, and after a long time, he said tremblingly: "Prince Yun's son was demoted to a commoner, and his family members of King Yun were exiled for thousands of miles. He would never go to the capital and would never be forgiven."

"The Princess Wang demoted to a virtuous concubine, and the children born by the Princess were all demoted to the first grade, demoted to the capital, and will never be pardoned."

"The relatives, relatives, and cliques involved in the case will be dealt with according to the law."

"As for the ruling of the rebel ministers, I am tired, so I will leave it to the crown prince and the ministers to discuss. I want to have a break, so you can retreat."

After saying that, Zhao Ji sighed and sat there, never saying a word again.

Zhao Huan knew that this was the biggest concession he, the emperor, had made.

He was absolutely unable to let him kill the emperor's grandfather as the emperor's grandfather, but he demoted him to a commoner and exiled him. At the same time, he demoted all the princes and daughters from Concubine Zheng and his group, which basically met Zhao Huan's requirements.

It's right.

Besides, if you exile... any accidents may occur in the middle or in the future.

Zhao Huan sneered in his eyes, but bowed and bowed: "My son is obeying the saint's order!"

"I will obey the order!"

Zhao Huan led Li Gang and others to discuss separately. Everyone was about to retreat and leave the imperial study room, but Zhao Ji said lightly: "Siheng stay."

Zhao Huan was stunned, looked at Wang Lin deeply, and bowed and retreated.

...

Zhao Ji was silent for a long time and suddenly said softly: "Siheng, this matter has been over, but I am still uneasy. I have thought about it repeatedly that he has never returned the abdication edict I have given to the crown prince. What exactly does he mean?

”

Wang Lin smiled secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, those who took the throne were unwilling to hand over the imperial power unless they had no choice. In the previous episode, Zhao Ji wrote a throne edict to appease Zhao Huan. As a result, the chaos was settled, and he began to think about how to take it.

Return to the edict.

I'd rather not delegate power.

Actually, it is understandable.

Wang Lin carefully said: "The official family, I believe that the prince has no intention of usurping the throne. As long as the official family is alive, he will always be the prince. However, in this situation, the official family still needs to rely on the prince to take charge of the government affairs. As for a throne edict, it will be taken back.

If you still don’t take it back, I think it’s not very meaningful. Instead, forcibly taking it back will cause a grudge against the prince, which is not beautiful.”

"The official knows it well. If it weren't for King Yun's forced design, the prince would not have taken any risks. In fact, if the prince did not listen to his advice and insisted on his own actions in the previous period, no one could stop him."

"Besides, as the crown prince, as the crown prince, why should he take the big ruthlessness of the world and do great deeds? The official should rest assured."

"If he abides by filial piety, I will be at ease to be the emperor in the harem."

Zhao Ji sighed: "It's just that after this incident, I feel that all my sons are evil sons, but there is not a good thing! I always want to kill my father and usurp the throne, which makes me feel heartbroken."

Wang Lin bowed and refused to accept this.

"Well, let's discuss this matter later."

Zhao Ji pondered for a while, squinted his eyes and said, "But I still feel that you are a little far away from me."

Wang Lin frowned and immediately realized that the emperor was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the ropes. He felt that he was too far from the capital in Qingzhou, and that there was really a rebellion. He was afraid that it would be too late for rescue and wanted to move him.

But he had just started operating in the six prefectures of Qingzhou and had already achieved results. It was not a good thing to change and move at this time.

A flash of thought, he said firmly: "Officials, I am training troops and reorganizing troops in Qingzhou. In fact, it will be only a few days before the capital. Whenever Your Majesty is summoned, I will lead my army to serve the king. There is no selfish thought.

.”

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed and said, "Don't you want to stay in the capital, guard me? I'm a little uneasy if I don't hand it over to Jen's hands."

"Officials, I have repeatedly killed treacherous and slanderous people, but I have actually become lonely officials. If I stay in the court of the capital, I must have been attacked by the ministers. Although I am not afraid, I will definitely have some things to do when doing things.
To be continued...
