Bianjing, Qingshou Palace!

Uncle Cao Guo, who was seriously ill and bedridden, was cured, and now he came to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and his sister and brother talked about it. www.biquge.info This did not cause much surprise and curiosity, but rather made some of the fabricated lies more mellowed.

The Cao family has always claimed to the outside world that it was Chai Minyan who rejuvenated and rescued him. In this way, it is logical for the Cao family to be grateful to Chai Minyan, to recognize her as a righteous daughter and to treat her well. The Empress Dowager came forward to rescue her husband Lin Zhao, and it was more reasonable to give her marriage.

The spring is warm and warm, the wicker has begun to reveal new shoots, the stamens are also budding, and everything is full of vitality. When Uncle Cao Guo came, Cao was accompanied by Zhao Fukang in the garden to bask in the sun.

Since learning the news that his "son" is alive, Cao's mood has been good. Although he can't admit it publicly, and he can't do his filial piety, as long as he lives, it is a great comfort, and there is even a little hope. At least the Cao family will not feel that he is a lonely person, not so sad, and he will have an explanation to meet Emperor Renzong under Huangquan in the future.

Although the old lady is happy, she has always been unremarkable, and has always been very low-key. Gao Taotao and Zhao Ji only thought that Zhao Fukang was cured, and Uncle Cao Guo did not die, and the Cao family was happy, so they were not half suspicious. The Cao family has not yet made a decision on how to plan for his son's future, so he has been standing still, not moving at all.

An empress dowager who has authority, but no power, can do too little. In this case, the surname Suo is unmoved, and he will come forward when necessary, and the role of the trump card is to hit with one blow.

When Cao Tong came, the Cao family easily dispersed the attendants, leaving only Zhao Fukang alone. It is normal for their family members to speak considerately and retreat, and their confidential conversations must not be known to outsiders.

"Uncle is in good health?" Zhao Fukang got up to salute, with a smile on his face. Now she is not sick in the slightest, and she is radiant. The appearance of his younger brother made Zhao Fukang's mentality change, as if living had another meaning. Although he has not completely come out of Liang Huaiji's relationship, at least his attention and mentality have changed.

"That's it!" Cao Tong smiled lightly, and sat down after saluting the Cao family.

"I heard that Dongyang went to the northwest?" The Cao family's most talked about now is Lin Zhao, even if there is no greeting, his son is always the dearest. Gao Taotao and Zhao Ji often came to say goodbye, but the old lady was fed up with that kind and insincere approach, and she would feel disgusted.

"Yes!" The reason why Cao Tong entered the palace was not only to visit his sister, but also to Lin Zhao's whereabouts.

"Is it Zhongzhen's uneasy kindness? Still is? "Zhao Fukang is very sensitive, and like the Iron Mask Sect Master, she is worried that her younger brother will be framed if he goes. Now she has no good impression of the emperor's nephew, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the successors are outsiders after all, where can they compare to their brothers and sisters who are connected by blood?

Cao vaguely had such worries, but he didn't want it. The step-grandson wants to kill his own son, such a cannibalism is really cruel, and the old man naturally doesn't want to see it.

Cao Tong was silent for a moment and said: "It's hard to say what the official family thinks, it's just that Dongyang does have a reason to go to the northwest." ”

"I'm most worried about his safety, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes!" The Cao family is worried, whether Lin Zhao's identity is revealed, whether he can ascend to the throne again, these are not important, they can be talked about in the future. But safety is of paramount importance, it is the only bloodline of Emperor Renzong, and there must be no mistakes.

"This, presumably the first emperor will bless him in the spirit of the sky, and the iron mask has already sent enough people to protect Dongyang as much as possible. Jiren has his own natural appearance, sister, don't worry! ”

Zhao Fukang looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "Father, you must bless your son!" ”

"Okay, try your best to protect him, but I really can't find a way to get him back." Completely assured, that is impossible, Cao will inevitably be worried.

Cao Tong nodded, but said again: "Sister, in fact, going to the northwest is also beneficial in the army......

"You mean......" Cao vaguely seemed to understand something.

"Tie Mian said that if Dongyang wants to succeed in the future, he must have the support of the army. The only one who can confront the Beijing camp is the Western Army. Now Dongyang has married the daughter of the Fuzhou family, and he is kind to the family, and he has a foundation in the Western Army. It is necessary to take this opportunity to make military achievements and expand its influence in the Western Army. Even...... It is best to be able to master the Western Army, so that you can compete with Zhongzhen. ”

Cao Tong said today, and his remarks still have a bit of lobbying meaning. They actively campaigned for Lin Zhao outside and found a way, but internal support was also very important. There is a way to be inside and outside, and Cao's side can be said to be the most important link.

"Okay!" Even if there are some things to worry about, Cao is helpless. Because she can't come forward to stop it, to interfere. You can't stop it at all, you can only go with the flow, and when necessary, you will naturally have a choice.

Cao Tong continued: "Tie Mian said that he will do his best to assist Dongyang, so that he can make military achievements and rise step by step." ”

"With him, it's not difficult!" The strength of the Iron Mask Sect Master Cao Clan naturally knew, so he didn't have the slightest doubt, and said leisurely for a long time: "It's just that the time is too hasty, if the son is longer, Min Yan will say that it would be better for them to have a child first!" ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, my brother Jiren will be safe. As for holding your grandson, just wait, sooner or later there will be good news. Thinking of Chai Minyan's superb medical skills, Zhao Fukang was not worried at all, it was a matter of time before he became an aunt.

"Hmm!" Cao Shi nodded, and then asked, "Concubine Lin has come to Bianjing, right?" ”

"Yes, Mrs. Lin is already in Bianjing and witnessed Dongyang's marriage."

Cao nodded and said, "It's okay, it's good to take a look." Her own son got married, but she couldn't participate as a mother, which embarrassed her...... I can't see her, you say hello to her on my behalf, I've really wronged her in the past 20 years......"

"Well, sister, don't worry, Mrs. Lin has been in the nunnery, with a calm mind and a very open view. What's more, now that the son has been found, there is hope and hope. ”

"Hmm!" Cao Shi can't tell whether this hope is hope?

Zhao Fukang on the side did not hesitate at all, for the sake of his younger brother's future, he had to do something as much as possible.

"Uncle, Cao Jian is not young, do you plan to get him an errand?" Zhao Fukang suddenly asked.

"Uh......" Cao Tong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his niece and princess had such a problem, and said helplessly: "I have mentioned this matter several times before, but he can't make it......"

Zhao Fukang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Cao Jian used to be young, and it was not strange that he was ignorant and fun-loving, but now he has grown up." When I saw him a few times, I found that he had become much calmer, but he could take on a great responsibility. ”

Cao Tong nodded and said, "It's hard to say whether he can be a big responsibility, but it's time for him to have more experience, what does the princess mean?" He naturally knew that Zhao Fukang would not mention this matter for no reason.

"What does my uncle think about letting Cao Jian go to the front of the palace and do things under Di Junma?" Zhao Fukang said with a smile: "Presumably, as long as my uncle speaks, Zhongzhen will sell my uncle's face." ”

"The Former Division? Di Yong? Cao Tong was startled, as if he had thought of something.

In the Song Dynasty, the front division of the palace and the division of the guards were divided into the forbidden army. In front of the palace, the commanders of the classes and the infantry cavalry are in charge of their command, training, taking turns to defend the emperor, guarding, moving, punishing and rewarding and other government decrees. The focus of Zhao Fukang's words should be to defend the emperor and defend the palace.

As for Di Yong, he is the son of the famous Wuxiang Duke Di Qing.

This buddy is most famous not for his identity as Di Qing's son, but for his appearance, which is definitely the most handsome guy in Kaifeng Mansion. He is handsome and handsome, ** dignified, was a red and purple star in Bianjing, his fans not only have a small jasper, but also a beautiful lady, sometimes, Di Yong will cause traffic jams in Kaifeng City when he goes out.

This is nothing, Di Yong was on duty in the palace at that time. When Song Yingzong's daughter recruited a horse, she also said: "My future horse will be like Di Yong." So, Song Yingzong pointed at Di Yong and said, "You really look like a human!" ”

As soon as the emperor's Chrysostom was opened, the people of Kaifeng at that time called Di Yong "human". Because his father Di Qing was born as a military general, Di Yong was a little humble and could not be a horse. Later, he married the county lord of Qinghe and became a county horse, and he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Now he is on duty in front of the palace and is quite trusted by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Fukang said: "If Dongyang has any plans in the future, it is necessary to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and the front division of the palace is the top priority!" With Di Yong here, presumably no one will guard against Cao Jian, and it will always be useful in the future. Besides, with the iron mask, Di Yong's side can also be dredged......"

Cao Shi already understood what his daughter wanted to do, shook his head and said, "Cao Jian is still young, don't let him get involved in this matter!" "To be honest, the Cao family really doesn't want his mother's family to get involved, and it goes without saying how risky it is to fight for the throne.

Zhao Fukang shook his head and said: "Niangniang doesn't have to be nervous, just be prepared, and talk about things in the future in the future, don't worry." What does my uncle think? ”

Cao Tong was silent for a long time, and said leisurely: "Presumably Dongyang has already arrived in Gyeongju, and let's take a look at the situation in Gyeongju first, I will take care of Cao Jian's affairs." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Shao, the word Zichun, Renzong Jiayou two years of the Dragon and Tiger List Jinshi, and Su Shi brothers, Zeng Gongwei in the same year.

This person is different from ordinary readers, and he is familiar with the subset of classics and history, and he can be regarded as a genius. What is even more rare is that he is resourceful, full of strategy, insightful in military affairs, courageous and fruitful, and his ability is first-class. After Zhongjinshi, he first served as the chief secretary of Xin'an, and later joined the army as the manager of the Jianchang Army.

A few years later, the Renzong Dynasty held a system examination. It should be noted that the subject examination is slightly different from the imperial examination, which is a special examination system that began in the Song Dynasty, and to be precise, it is a special system for selecting officials.

The imperial examination is held once every three years, while the examination is irregular, and it takes special chance to meet it. In the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, only 22 examinations were held. The procedure is more cumbersome than the imperial examination. Those who take the examination are recommended by the ministers of the imperial court, and then take a preliminary examination.

Finally, the emperor himself will make the exam questions. As long as he passes, he will undoubtedly become a real protégé of the Son of Heaven, which is completely different, and the future is even brighter, and its value and significance are self-evident.

It is precisely for this reason that the selection of the subject examination is very strict. It is said that in the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, there were only 22 subject examinations, and only 41 people passed the talk.

In this exam of the Renzong Dynasty, Su Shi passed the first person in the third class in a hundred years. The examinations are divided into first, second, third, third, fourth, fourth, and fifth, of which the third class is the highest (the first and second classes are fictitious). It is self-evident how powerful Su Shi is, but Wang Shao, who participated in the same period, was defeated.

However, Wang Shao was not depressed, but his interests seemed to have changed slightly. After failing the examination, he traveled to Shaanxi to visit the frontier affairs and conducted in-depth research on the northwest frontier defense and military affairs.

In the first year of Xining, Wang Shao wrote three articles on "Pingrong Strategy", discussing in detail the strategy of taking the Western Xia, saying that "to take the Western Xia, you must first restore the river and Huang, so that the Xia people will suffer from the enemy on their backs." The far-reaching level of his vision is absolutely second to none and commendable.

Because the "Pingrong Policy" correctly analyzed the situation of the Tibetan forces in the Xihe region, it also put forward a strategy to solve the most urgent Western Xia problem of the Great Song Dynasty. Its purpose is consistent with Zhao Ji's and Wang Anshi's political proposition of "reform and reform", which is very much in line with Zhao Ji's ambition to become a great and promising monarch, and also in line with Wang Anshi's grand ambition to break the right arm of Western Xia and restore the old state of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Therefore, it was highly valued and adopted by the Zhao officials of the Northern Song Dynasty and Wang Xianggong, and Wang Shao was immediately appointed as the Qinfeng Road Jinglu driver Yiwen, presiding over the development of the Xihe River. Since then, he has taken charge of the military as a literati and has taken on the task of recovering Hehuang.

However, in the past few years, the time has not yet come to recover Hehuang and fight against Tibet. In particular, it was necessary to contact Tibet to contain the Western Xia, so some planning functions for the war were temporarily put on hold. In the third year of Xining, Zhao Ji sent Lin Zhao as an envoy to Qingtang City to reach an alliance with Tubo. Wang Shao's plan to recover Hehuang was delayed, and he was transferred to Huanzhou to serve as a general judge.

Zhao Ji's purpose was to want Wang Shao to fight against the Western Xia people in Huanzhou first, accumulate experience, and gradually train, so that he could be of great use in the future. Unexpectedly, Wang Shao played a major role in less than a year after he went to Huanzhou.

After Li Fugui had a problem, Zhao Ji's first thought was Wang Shao and asked him to deal with the affairs of Gyeongju. Wang Shao also lived up to expectations, and although he allowed Li Fugui to escape, he successfully stabilized the situation in Gyeongju and temporarily took charge of the military power of Huanqinglu.

As soon as Lin Zhao arrived in Gyeongju, he hurried to meet Wang Shao of Kwon Chi Gyeongju. He came to Gyeongju as a commander, Wang Shao is the acting governor of Gyeongju, and it is necessary to meet him.

If it is a commander, it is a little difficult to face Zhizhou directly, but Lin Zhao has a special identity after all, so the treatment is naturally different.

In the lobby of Gyeongju Mansion, Lin Zhao saw Wang Shao, and at a glance, he knew that he was a scholar, and he even looked a little weak and delicate. Who would have thought that just two months ago, such a weak scholar would take Lee Fu-gyu to take charge of Gyeongju?

At that time, Li Fugui was full of confidants and was not convinced by the newly arrived weak superiors. Wang Shao didn't talk nonsense at all, he took it down directly, and when the head of the people was hung at the gate of Gyeongju, everyone knew that this weak Wang Zhizhou was a hard stubble.

Can the general who presided over the Battle of Xihe, defeated the Tubo people, and expanded the territory be bad? How can you underestimate it? Just at the first glance, Lin Zhao saw the courage and perseverance in Wang Shao's eyes from his eyes.

Appearance doesn't tell the story, Wang Shao is an out-and-out Confucian general. There are many such people in history, such as Zhou Yu and Lu Xun in Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and Qi Jiguang, Yuan Chonghuan, Zeng Guofan and others in later generations can be classified into this ranks.

All in all, Lin Zhao was very satisfied with his new boss, and even had some reverence. This is a capable general, follow him, you can do something. It's just that I don't know if Wang Shao, who looks kind, is good to get along?

In fact, Lin Zhao's worries were completely unnecessary.

The reason why Wang Shao attaches importance to Lin Zhao is not only because his father-in-law and eldest brother are powerful, but also because of the fact that he has been a young leader in the past few years. A person who makes Tubo Zampu dare not underestimate and the Western Xia Kingdom is deflated, can he be ordinary? Others may not know what Lin Zhao did in Qingtang City. Wang Shao, who was bent on planning to recover Hehuang, knew a lot, so he was very interested in Lin Zhao early on.

At least some information can be obtained from Lin Zhao, which will help to start a war against Tibet in the future. In other words, Lin Zhao, who had been an envoy to Qingtang City, was the most suitable person to participate in the Battle of Tubo. For such a purpose, Wang Shao felt that it was always beneficial to have more contact with Lin Zhao.

Moreover, what is the reason for the current situation in the Northwest? Although the fault is Li Fugui, Lin Zhao is undoubtedly the catalyst, causing a sudden change in the situation in the northwest. What does such a character look like? Wang Shao was a little curious.

After seeing Lin Zhao, Wang Shao felt that he was not disappointed, he was handsome, his eyes were bright, and he exuded a heroic spirit. The gestures are very capable, and the most rare thing is to be humble and polite. At a young age, he is already an earl, and you must know that some people who have dedicated their lives in the court are difficult to receive such a reward. Even Wang Anshi, who was famous and powerful, was originally just a lord of Linchuan.

Coupled with the huge background behind him, not to mention arrogance, it is completely okay to be strong. But Lin Zhao didn't see that kind of condescension and arrogance at all, and Wang Shao was very satisfied with this.

As long as Wang Zhizhou is satisfied, Lin Zhao's words will naturally be better. In addition to a good first impression, there is another very important reason, that is, Ouyang Xiu came to write in advance.

Wang Shao was a jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, and the chief examiner that year was Ouyang Xiu, and they had a teacher-student friendship with each other. In addition, Ouyang Xiu is a leader in the literary world, and Wang Shao respects him very much.

Ouyang Xiu wrote a letter asking Wang Shao to take care of Lin Zhao, and Wang Zhizhou naturally couldn't refuse. At the same time, I am also very curious about why Lin Zhao is so special at such a young age, attracting so many big people to pay so much attention and care to him. It just so happens that this time under his own hands, I want to take a good look at Lin Zhao's performance!

Not only Wang Shao, but the entire Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many people are staring at the northwest, looking forward to Lin Zhao's performance! (To be continued.)
