Chapter 211 Zhao Huan wants to entrust his orphan?
Let’s talk about the ninth son of the emperor, Zhao Gou, the Prince of Guangping, took a thousand imperial guards to travel around the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived in Daming, Hebei slowly that morning.
Qiu Renjie led a group of subordinates of Daming Mansion out of the city to greet him.
Zhao Gou was bored and was free to deal with the local officials who came to greet him, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure at the gate of the city.
Zhao Gou's eyes lit up. He immediately left Qiu Renjie and the officials of Daming Mansion, urged the horse to rush to the city gate, turned over and dismounted, bowed respectfully and said, "Go, I have seen the master!"
Wang Lin laughed, jumped off his horse and helped Zhao Gou up: "I haven't seen you for many days, so your highness is fine!"
Zhao Gou stood beside Wang Lin with a smile. Wang Lin patted his shoulder casually, and then took Zhao Gou's little hand and took him into the city.
One big and one small, very close.
Qiu Renjie and the officials and civilians of Daming Mansion were stunned.
The ninth prince actually called Wang Lin the master and held the etiquette of disciples!
Moreover, Zhao Gou also rejected Qiu Renjie's earnest arrangements for letting him live in the government office and moved directly into the inn where Wang Lin was.
The magistrate Peng Jun lowered his voice and said, "Master Master, this ninth prince is so close to Wang Lin? Isn't it said that Wang Lin is the prince's person?"
Qiu Renjie frowned: "I don't know much about it... I don't care about him. I will hold a banquet later. I will take the opportunity to ask them when they will leave Daming Mansion and send these two plague gods away so that we can deal with Lu Junyi's
thing."
Qiu Renjie felt even more solemn when he remembered that Lujiazhuang, who was imprisoned by the Lu clan, was taken away by Wang Lin's Fuhu Army.
Lu Junyi has become a sharp sword hanging over their heads at all times, and will fall down at some point.
There was also Wang Lin, who didn't know what he wanted to be eyeing him. It was like two huge rocks pressing against Qiu Renjie's heart, which made him unable to breathe at all.
Inn.
Wang Lin and Zhao Gou had a casual conversation. Within a few words, they discovered a lot of valuable information from the capital from the 12-year-old half-year-old Zhao Gou.
Wang Lin has always been doubtful. He went to Qingzhou to represent the Song Dynasty court to welcome the envoy of the Jin Dynasty and the Prime Minister Wu Qimai. It is a major matter of the country. No matter what, it should not be handed over to an underage child?
Why did Zhao Gou, a playful little brat, come here? There must be a lot of articles here.
"Originally, Lu Xiang suggested that the third emperor's brother go to Qingzhou, but he was strongly opposed by Li Xiang and Wu Xiang. Li Xiang meant that Wu Qimai was the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom. We should be the prince's brother on behalf of the Song Dynasty to welcome him. They argued that they had to argue.
No, I heard that I had been quarreling in the court for several days.”
"That day, my father suddenly summoned me to meet him and asked me if I would like to stay in Qingzhou for a few days. I said yes, I happened to go and play with my master."
"So you came?" Wang Lin's mouth twitched.
"Yes, I'm here. This is the first time I've left Beijing. But I didn't expect that Master, you actually ran to Daming Mansion, Hebei to pick me up."
Wang Lin was silent for a while and said, "The welcome to the Jin envoy is related to the Song Dynasty. Even if the officials propose, the cabinet ministers may not be able to agree, right? Besides, isn't there the crown prince there?"
"They disagree, but after arguing, there was no result, so the father got angry and said: Since you can't argue, I will make the decision and order the Prince of Guangping to serve as the envoy of the Jin Dynasty and immediately lead the guardian army.
Go to Qingzhou!"
"At that time, Lu Xiang disagreed and said: The official family, the prince of Guangping is still young, and he is afraid of embarrassing this important task. Li Xiang, Wu Xiang, and Zhang Shuye also raised objections, and his father was annoyed and looked around the ministers and pointed at him: Ancient
There are twelve Ganluo as prime ministers. Now my nine sons are twelve years old. Tianyou is smart and good at riding and shooting. He can read the Four Books and Five Classics and can open a hard bow in the army. What's wrong with sharing my worries? Could you dare to
Can you underestimate the nobles of Tianhuang?"
Zhao Gou imitated Zhao Ji's tone, walked around with his hands behind his back.
Wang Lin held back his smile: "So, did His Highness Yun and the East Palace talk to you one after another before you left Beijing? What did they say?"
"Well, the third emperor just asked me to give a message to Qiu Renjie, the governor of Daming Prefecture, and said that everything is fine in the capital of Qiu, please don't worry."
"As for the prince, I asked me to send you a letter to your master. He didn't say anything else, just told me not to neglect state affairs, be careful and hand the letter to your master, etc. .The next one didn't say anything."
Zhao Gou said, and then he danced: "Master, this Daming Mansion is meaningless. Why don't we set off for Shandong tomorrow? I want to go to Qinghe County and take a look at Jingyanggang where you killed the tiger!"
Wang Lin laughed and cried: "You are just going around Hebei just for this?"
Zhao Gou nodded seriously: "Yes, I long for the master's slap in Jingyanggang that day to eliminate harm to the people!"
Wang Lin's face suddenly changed and he asked again: "You went from Tokyo to Qingzhou, and you didn't have passed by Hebei Daming, but Wang Yun asked you to give Qiu Renjie a little message... Did Wang Yun know you before you left Beijing Do you want to detour Hebei?”
Zhao Gou also frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know. I didn't tell him that I wanted to go around Hebei. Maybe he thought I would go around Hebei, right? It's just a message, so there's nothing to worry about. , it doesn’t matter if you can’t bring it.”
Wang Lin was silent.
Zhao Gou seemed to realize something wrong, so he sat next to him without saying a word, just waiting for Wang Lin's reaction seriously.
Wang Lin thought to himself: Is the battle between Yun Wang Zhao Kai and Crown Prince Zhao Huan fierce?
With the current pattern of the Song Dynasty court, Zhao Huan's position as the crown prince gradually stabilized, and most important officials in the court stood on Zhao Huan's side. More importantly, Zhao Huan held military power, and the 100,000 imperial guards in the Jingying Hall General's Mansion Yutai Wei Zhang Shuye is commanded by him, and Zhang Shuye is the most hard-core princeling.
Without military power, the support of the civil servant group is alone. Just by competing with Zhao Huan, if Zhao Kai had not been mentally ill, he would have had other deep-seated plans.
To seize the throne, you must have military power.
In addition to the imperial guards in Beijing, the elite of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the Western army in Hedong and Hexi, and the Hebei army in Zhong Shizhong. In fact, most of them were also soldiers and horses separated from the Western army in Zhong Shizhong. .
Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, and Zhe family, is Zhao Kai connected with these local military commanders?
But this is just a possibility.
Wang Lin felt that it was really difficult for Zhao Kai to take the two types of military leaders for his own use.
Even if the second one is on his side, the border guards will not be of great help to Zhao Kai's seizing power and fighting for throne, right?
Wang Lin believed that with two kinds of character, it would never be possible to ignore his duties, abandon border defenses in order to agree with the battle for the throne, and lead his army to the capital to support King Yun’s seizure.
Wang Lin frowned and thought hard, and suddenly he remembered that there seemed to be many people on the blacklist of Murong Yanda's bribery at this moment, which was Zhao Kai's wings.
Murong Yanda has been operating in Qingzhou for so long, and has been engaged in marine trading for several years. The huge amount of wealth he has accumulated will not be hidden in private, leaving behind a full pocket. A large part of it will definitely flow elsewhere, such as... For example, Yun Wang Zhao Kai.
If he was not wrong, Qiu Renjie, like Murong Yanda, both made money for Yun Wang Zhao Kai.
When he left last time, he taught the secret account book to the crown prince Zhao Huan. Didn’t Zhao Huan follow the map to remove all kinds of hidden dangers invisibly?
Wang Lin frowned. If Zhao Huan was careless and ignorant, now Zhao Kai jumped out to compete with him for the position of crown prince, he would have to blame him.
"Your Highness Ninth, come and see His Highness the Crown Prince's letter."
Zhao Gou said no, and took out a letter with a fire sign and sealed it out of his arms.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, and did not avoid Zhao Gou, so he took a look after it was opened.
It is actually a very ordinary letter.
In the letter, Zhao Huan talked about some common words throughout the letter, but did not mention any words about the government.
Only at the end of the letter, he said in an extremely plain tone that he would report to the official Zhao Ji in the near future to rename Zhao Chen, the legitimate son born in the seventh year of the Crown Princess Zhu Lian, the only legitimate grandson of Zhao Ji, to Lin.
Zhao Huan is just such a son at the moment.
The eldest son of the crown prince is the third generation of the future crown prince.
Zhao Lin?
Wang Lin felt cold.
Let the future crown prince and his subordinates share their reputations, and do it intentionally... This is simply impossible. He is prosecuting etiquette and breaking the rules. Even if Zhao Ji agrees, the Hanlin censors and civil officials in the court will never agree.
Zhao Huan specifically talked about this, only to show his attitude.
It is like Liu Bei entrusting his son to treat Wang Lin as his father before his death, and ordered Liu Chan to worship Zhuge Liang as his father. The basic principle is to say that Liu Chan was the one who was the father to worship Zhuge.
At the same time, in this way, Wang Lin was pushed to the fire pit and roasted, leaving him and Wang Yun's faction no room for relief.
Of course, this is just some kind of plan by Zhao Huan, and it may not necessarily be implemented. This only means that Zhao Huan can't wait. He wants to burn his boat and take the risk to ascend the throne early, and is worried that if something goes wrong, he hopes that Wang Lin can care about his old love.
Protect his youngest son and his wife's life.
Wang Lin frowned.
It is said that Zhao Huan should not be so anxious to usurp power and take over the throne. After all, he is the legal crown prince, so he will wait patiently for Zhao Ji to return to heaven.
Sooner or later the throne is his.
This also shows Zhao Huan's current situation.
It must be a dangerous situation where you have to die and then live.
Wang Lin was actually not interested in the palace drama of father and son fighting each other and brothers fighting each other. However, the Song Dynasty can no longer have civil strife. Such bloody struggle for the throne and violent dynasty can only accelerate the demise of the cowardly dynasty.
The civil strife and undercurrents in the capital were beyond Wang Lin's expectations.
He thought repeatedly and felt that he could no longer waste his time in Daming Mansion. He had to rush to the capital immediately to stop this palace coup that might happen at any time.
As soon as he thought of this, he grabbed Zhao Gou's little hand, leaned in his ear and whispered a few words.
Zhao Gou hesitated for a while and said, "Master, Qiu Renjie is the relative of Brother Yun Wang and Qiu Fei's father, if..."
"Nothing in case!"
Wang Lin waved his hand decisively: "Qu Renjie is full of evil deeds. He is expending intensive taxes and scams the people's wealth in Daming, and the people are full of grievances. His Highness has come to this for the people's wishes. What's wrong with destroying this corrupt official to correct the rules and regulations?!"
Zhao Gou looked at Wang Lin blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
