No matter how suitable Zhou Chang is in Lin Ruxian's eyes, since the emperor rejected Zhou Chang as the governor of Liaodong, Lin Ruxian has no choice.

He thought about it carefully, and secretly compared in his heart who was more suitable for this position besides Zhou Chang. After thinking about it repeatedly, he could only name the second candidate: "Shi Qiuming, the governor of Huainan Province, knows people well, and can maintain the general stability of Huainan Province when the Central Plains Road is in chaos, and exterminate the thieves in the territory, which shows his talent." Therefore, the minister thought that Shi Qiuming was also enough to serve as the governor of Liaodong! ”

Lin Ruxian is actually reluctant to recommend Shi Qiuming, this is not because Shi Qiuming is not as good as Zhou Chang, as Lin Ruxian said, Shi Qiuming's ability is obvious to all.

At least in terms of leading troops to fight, Lin Ruxian himself was a little ashamed of Shi Qiuming.

He is a pure literati, and he thinks that he is okay with money and food, but in terms of military strategy, he is far from a battlefield Confucian general like Shi Qiuming.

However, Shi Qiuming was not as accustomed to defending the city as Fang Ping, nor was his personality as calm as Zhou Chang. In other words, compared to Zhou Chang, who likes to play steadily, he is more enterprising and more adventurous.

This can be seen from the original battle of Yongyang, in order to create an opportunity to completely annihilate Zhang Feng'er's thief army, he let Lin Fan and them stay alone in the lonely city for more than ten days.

If Lin Fan and the others did not hold out until the reinforcements arrived, resulting in the loss of Yongyang, then Zhang Feng'er's thief army would be able to go straight down Jiangnan Province through Anzhou.

When the time comes, Huainan and Jiangnan will not be at peace, and this thief army can even echo Chen Xinglong and them in the north and south, how difficult is it to completely exterminate them?

But knowing this, Shi Qiuming still did it, maybe he was sure that he could annihilate the thief army in one fell swoop, but after all, it was still too risky.

And for Shi Qiuming to put his only son in the city where he was almost certain to die, but he didn't go to the rescue, and sat back and watched Lin Fan and them fight to the death, it is impossible to say that Lin Ruxian has no worries about this matter.

It's just that Lin Ruxian is not going to abolish the public because of personal gain, and besides, the ending of that incident is still good, and Lin Fan has also made a lot of contributions, so even if he has some resentment in his heart, he will not block Shi Qiuming in this regard.

His reluctance to recommend Shi Qiuming was mainly for the sake of the imperial court, Shi Qiuming's character and method of doing things were naturally feasible in a territory where the official army had an advantage, but if he was transferred to Liaodong, where the official army could only be on the defensive, it might not be suitable for the imperial court or for him.

In case Shi Qiuming still acts like this after he takes over as the governor of Liaodong, I am afraid that something will happen to Liaodong.

The Liaodong Frontier Army is an elite army that gathers the power of the world, and once something happens, I am afraid that the situation will immediately reach the point of being out of control.

At that time, even if Shi Qiuming is killed, who else in the world can clean up this mess.

Lin Ruxian didn't know what kind of plan His Majesty had in mind after he abandoned Zhou Chang, who acted more prudently, and chose Shi Qiuming, who was more adventurous, but his intuition told him that this might not be a good idea.

It's just that the emperor's mind is not something he can change, and the emperor recognizes Shi Qiuming, and he has no choice.

But fortunately, Shi Qiuming is also a rare capable person in the court, even if he is not as steady as Fang Ping and Zhou Chang, but if he is not too sure, he should not be rash.

Although it is not suitable for Lin Ruxian to be the governor of Liaodong, it is better than some corpse vegetarian people sitting in that position.

After all, if there is chaos all over the world today, and most of the talented people in the court are guarding the four directions, it is really difficult to find another person who can not be inferior to Fang Ping in terms of ability and prestige, and Shi Qiuming will take over

Governor of Liaodong, things are not too bad.

Sure enough, after Lin Ruxian said Shi Qiuming's name, Zhao Huan finally relented, and he nodded: "Since Aiqing thinks that Shi Qiuming is the right person, then you can put it forward at tomorrow's cabinet meeting, submit it to the cabinet for discussion, and then hand it over to me to see." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Ruxian could only reply.

After discussing the matter, the emperor buried his head again in the mountain of folds on the table, and said without raising his head: "Thank you, I still have a lot of things to do here, if you have nothing else to do, please step down first!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!" Lin Fan and his son bowed.

The two did not dare to disturb the emperor and slowly withdrew from the main hall. When they came to the outside of the temple, the previous eunuch was already waiting for them outside.

"Two adults, please!" The man smiled at the two of them.

"There is a long time for Lao Gonggong!" The two thanked him.

"You're welcome, two adults!" This person is smiling, and it looks like a spring breeze, but his voice is a little sharp, and it looks slightly gloomy. The difference between the two makes it difficult to associate the voice with the face, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard for the average person to believe that the two are the same person.

He sent the two of them out of the Wuying Palace, and on the way, he chuckled and said: "The two adults are really powerful, I have served Your Majesty for a long time, and I have never seen anyone who can provoke Your Majesty to make such a big fire and still be able to retreat with his whole body." ”

"It just so happens that Your Majesty is in a good mood, and there is no condemnation, just luck!" Lin Fan also replied with a smile.

The man's laughter did not change: "Is it luck or not, Lord Kobayashi knows it himself, and there is no need to explain it to a slave like me!" ”

"Okay, I'll send the two adults here, and Your Majesty is still waiting for me to go back and serve!"

After sending the two of them all the way to the bottom of the steps, the man stopped and said goodbye to the two.

The two hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, please, let's go back by ourselves!" ”

"Okay, two adults go slowly!" The man bowed to the two men and left.

When they came, they had shoulders and sits, and when they went back, the two of them didn't have this good treatment, and the father and son could only walk out of the palace.

On the emperor's side, after Lin Fan's father and son left the main hall, Yu Chaoen flashed out from behind the screen.

He saw that there was a hint of a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth when he was dealing with the fold, and he handed over a letter to the emperor that had not yet been approved, and then asked with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a good mood, it seems that Your Majesty really likes that Lord Xiaolin!" ”

Zhao Huan touched the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Is there one?" ”

As an emperor, you must always pay attention to your majesty, and you must be happy and not show your color, because the so-called sacred heart is unpredictable.

The courtiers are all smart people, and if the emperor is easily seen by others, it is inevitable that he will be used, and he will not know when he will be used as a gunman.

If everyone is like this, over time, who else will put themselves as the Son of Heaven in their eyes, and how can the majesty of the emperor exist?

Zhao Huan has always thought that although those officials look high and high to outsiders, they are just courtiers raised by their own families. Thunder, rain and dew, all of them are Jun En, and he is the one who is above the nine heavens, as for the others, which one is not to let himself be killed and taken away.

Being controlled by others is something that Zhao Huan, a powerful genius, is never willing to accept. Even if it is used by others, it is absolutely intolerable, and it is unforgivable, who dares to do this, Zhao Huan does not mind using his nine clans to establish the majesty of his emperor.

Hearing the coldness in His Majesty's words and the coldness in his eyes, Yu Chaoen, who realized it later, knew that he had committed His Majesty's taboo.

Yu Chaoen hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and slammed the ground: "It's all to blame for the old slave's unobstructed mouth, the old slave should die, the old slave should die!" ”

"You minion, it seems that you have been with me for too long, so carried away that you have forgotten even the most basic rules!" The Emperor tossed the fold aside and said coldly.

However, Yu Chaoen is the old man who followed him to take care of him when he was in the palace, and it doesn't matter if he knocks and knocks, until he finds the next handy minion, the emperor doesn't really think about what to do with him for the time being.

"Alright, get up!" Seeing that the ground was about to be knocked out by him, Zhao Huan said.

"Old slave Xie Your Majesty Longen!" Yu Chaoen stood up tremblingly and stood beside the emperor.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and give it to me? Finding that Yu Chaoen was stunned, just standing there stupidly, the emperor said angrily.

"Hey!" Yu Chaoen hurriedly handed over the recital to the emperor, and at the same time secretly relieved himself in his heart.

I have been with His Majesty for so long, and I know Your Majesty better than anyone else, since Your Majesty is still willing to instruct yourself like this, it means that Your Majesty has no grudges and does not really take this matter to heart.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be ready to make way for young people, and obediently find a place to retire and wait for death.

It's just that although he was happy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it in front of him no matter what.

"You said that I like this Lin Fan very much, so how did you see it?" In order to appease the old eunuch, Zhao Huan asked.

"Just now, when Your Majesty was playing against the two Lord Lin, Lord Xiaolin said good things for Fang Ping, although His Majesty was angry, he didn't do anything to him, but repeatedly comforted him in his words and calmed his heart."

"When Your Majesty was angry just now, the old slave was frightened behind the screen, but he sweated for Lord Xiaolin! If Your Majesty really likes this Lord Kobayashi, how can you allow him to be so offended! "Wise, Your Majesty, Yu Chaoen didn't dare to play any more tricks, so he had to be honest.

"Count you old boy smart!" Zhao Huan said derogatorily.

"You're right, I like young people like Lin Fan, and he reminds me of those days in the palace. At that time, like him, I was eager to make a contribution, dare to think about anything, and dare to say anything. Since I ascended the throne, those days have been a complete farewell to me, and now that I think about it, it is really like a world away! ”

"But I like him for a long time, but I will tolerate his offense, and not just because of it."

"Lin Fan is Fang Ping's disciple, he has studied with him for many years, everyone in the court can scold Fang Ping, and they can also shout at him and kill him, but Lin Fan can't."

"That's his husband, his elders, if he can't say a good word for Fang Ping, or even if he is going to fall into the ground, how do you let the world think of him?"

"If he really does that, others won't say that he killed his relatives in righteousness, even if he doesn't say it openly, there will be criticism and accusations behind his back!"

"This Lin Fan is a smart person, and with Lin Ruxian by his side, he won't fail to see this layer, and he won't be so stupid as to jump into the pit by himself!"

Yu Chaoen was puzzled: "Your Majesty means that this Lord Xiaolin chose to say good things for Fang Ping for the sake of his own reputation?" ”

Zhao Huan dealt with another letter, he took another letter handed over by Chaoen, and said with a smile: "This may not be!" ”
