Chapter 41 Eight Sesame Officials
After waiting for a long time, finally an attendant came to pass the word, saying that the official family had summoned him.
Walking into the vertical arch hall, Lin Zhao, who was a little excited, saw the young emperor on the dragon throne at a glance, he was Song Shenzong? It seems that he is only two years older than me, but he has a little bit of the heroic spirit of a genius, but after all, he is still a little young and immature, and there is a slight resemblance to himself in this regard.
Emperor Zhao Ji was also looking at Lin Zhao, his age difference was not much, and the kind of mutual appreciation or natural communication between peers was more direct. even felt a little familiar at first sight, and suddenly had a lot of good feelings.
Not bad! is not very old, but there is a kind of determination and calmness, the whole person looks cautious, sharp but not public! In addition, he is a candidate recommended by Wang Anshi, and he loves Wu and Wu, and his impression of Lin Zhao is quite good.
"Xiaomin Lin Zhao participates in Your Majesty!" Lin Zhao stepped forward and saluted according to Huang Tingjian's teachings! Fortunately, the Song Dynasty was still very enlightened, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, where they had to kneel at every turn! Bow down and not insult your dignity.
"Excuse me!" Emperor Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You are Lin Zhao, Lin Dongyang?" Is it a prison detective? ”
Lin Zhao replied in a deep voice: "Where, it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!" ”
"You don't have to be modest, you may have luck, then you have to have the ability and ability to catch it!" Zhao Ji smiled: "You can be regarded as a meritorious service this time, and you deserve to be rewarded, what do you want?"
Lin Xu shook his head and said: "The official family is serious, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, as a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the honor of the small people to be able to contribute to the country." "How can you not want a reward, the important righteousness on the face is awe-inspiring, the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty! Otherwise, those gentlemen should despise themselves. But the emperor, you must accept it if you don't see it, I will be polite to you, you must not be polite to me......
"The rise and fall of a good world, the husband is responsible, and there are really aspiring young people!" Zhao Ji and several ministers were all amazed, and there was a little more appreciation in their eyes. Lin Zhao recalled it at this time, and inadvertently embezzled a famous saying, the rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the husband seems to be a slogan only in the late Ming Dynasty......
However, it is also just right to use on this occasion, and a minister next to him said with a smile: "Lin Dongyang is really extraordinary, he is young, and he has the ambition to serve the country, ah!" ”
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Lin Zhao, Wen Xianggong does not praise people easily, and it is your honor to make an exception and praise it today!" ”
"I've seen Wen Xianggong!" Only then did Lin Zhao know that the person next to him was the famous Wen Yanbo.
Zhao Ji asked: "You solved this case, do you have any opinion?" ”
"I don't know what the official family means......?" Lin Zhao was a little uncertain about the emperor's intentions, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.
"Who do you think is the mastermind? What is the intention of the Liao people? "The problem became clear and at the same time direct.
Lin Zhao groaned: "In terms of performance, the mastermind is Yeluzhi, but in fact, it should be a belligerent person within the Liao State, is there someone who wants to fish in troubled waters?" ”
"Why isn't it the Lord of Liao, or the meaning of the entire Liao Kingdom?" Wen Yanbo had the heart to take the school exam for Lin Zhao, and immediately asked.
"No!" Lin Zhao said: "It's hard to say what the Liao Lord is thinking, but this case shouldn't be what he meant...... Lin Zhao analyzed: "If it is said that the Liao Lord wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and create a conflict on the border, it is easy to do it with a truth, and then send troops directly."
Why bother to spend so much time making excuses in Bianliang, thousands of miles away? Not to mention the time-consuming and laborious delay of the fighter, it is not Yelu Hongji's style! On the contrary, it is more like someone wants to use this to trigger a conflict between Song and Liao, provoke a war, and then profit from it. Yeluzhen and Xiao Jie are just small characters, and the mastermind behind them must have a lot to do with Liao's [***] political aspects......"
"Yes, the analysis is in place!" The emperor and several adults couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhao, who had such insights at a young age, which was very good. Not to mention, Wang Anshi really recommended a talent this time.
"So what do we do now?"
Belch...... Lin Zhao hesitated: "Such important matters should be discussed by the Holy Judge or with the ministers, and the small people dare not discuss it." Xiaomin did not break the Yelu quality when he analyzed the case, but this person can be used as a breakthrough! ”
Be measured, know what to say and what not to say! Several ministers nodded again and again, very satisfied with the young man in front of them.
Emperor Zhao Ji smiled and said, "That's right! September was the birthday of the Liao lord, and I sent a delegation to pay homage to the birthday and at the same time contact the Liao people about the matter. It's best to have someone familiar with the case to explain to the Khitans, and it seems that you are the most suitable ......."
What the? Let me be an envoy to Liao, won't you? In and out of the words, Lin Zhao heard it. Solving the case is to ask for a reward, and I don't want to be assigned another difficult task! Liao is in the bitter cold and sandy place in the north, the land of brave and fierce tigers and wolves, not to mention that the content of the envoy's contact is not so harmonious, maybe there will be some chaos, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to join in the fun at this time......
"Official...... The minister is a small people, and he really dare not hope that such a major event involves the national system. If you need to understand the facts of the case, Xiaomin can explain it in detail, or write to explain ......" After thinking about it, Lin Zhao planned to euphemistically resign.
Emperor Zhao Ji pretended to be displeased and said: "Didn't someone just say that the rise and fall of the world is responsible?" Now when the court wants to use you, how can you refuse? ”
"The official family is not a prevarication, but it is really a small people's limited ability and low status......"
Zhao Ji's expression was firm and said: "Your ability has been shown very clearly just now, everyone can see it, as for the identity...... You are now a cloth cloth, and I will give you a Jinshi background. Since it is an envoy, it also needs to have an official position, why don't you serve as the chief bookkeeper of Honglu Temple, what do you think? ”
The words came out of the emperor's mouth, and although they had not yet been expressly issued, they were still like holy decrees. is also a Jinshi background, and he is an official, although I still don't know that the so-called Honglu anchor is a duty, what is the official residence? But after all, the emperor is already enthusiastic, so polite, if he doesn't agree, will he be a little embarrassed?
"This ......" Lin Zhao complained a little in his heart, Wang Anshi Wang Bachelor, why didn't you reveal some news to me first when you came, so that I could be prepared! Now it's too late, the emperor is so eager to find out, how can he easily refuse?
Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the fact that the officials and the ministers do not dislike it, this time to envoy Liao, the small people are willing to go and share the worries of the country!" ”
"Good!" Emperor Zhao Ji said: "I am very optimistic about you, and I will behave well this time!" ”
Immediately, a holy decree was announced, with Zhang Zongyi of the Ministry of Rites Langzhong as the main envoy, Zeng Gong of Jixian School, and Lin Zhao, the chief secretary of Honglu Temple, as his deputy, and sent the Liao State to congratulate the Liao Lord on his birthday. Of course, this mission is a major task, and it is definitely not as simple as paying homage to birthdays, and the pressure on everyone's shoulders is also much greater......
Lin Zhao's heart is also full of taste, with the background of Jinshi, he has killed many scholars who have been cold for ten years, as for the main book of Honglu Temple, Lin Zhao is only an eight-grade sesame official after he understands it. However, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the starting point of Jinshi's official grade was not high, and Lin Zhao was also a little balanced in his heart.
It's already autumn season, but people want to go to Liao to blow the cold wind and sand, and intrigue with the tiger and wolf people...... Alas, is it easy for me to be this eight-grade sesame official?
