The murder case of the Liao envoy was easily solved in this way, and it took less than a day from Lin Zhao receiving the holy decree to solving the case!

In the concierge courtyard, everyone looked at Lin Zhao's eyes with a lot of appreciation and admiration! You must know that this is not only a case solved, but more importantly, it is of great significance to the Song Dynasty to eliminate a military disaster.

In the room, except for Yeluzhi, only Wang Gui was not so happy. It is a good thing to solve the case, but the person who solved the case was not the official of his Kaifeng Mansion, but the young man recommended by Wang Anshi.

Before, Kaifeng Mansion had no clue for four or five years, and Lin Zhao revealed the truth in less than a day, and the huge contrast was presented in front of him, which was a naked slap in the face for his Kaifeng Mansion!

Wang Guizhen didn't know how to explain in front of the real officials and the Manchu Dynasty, and how would he be able to hold his head up in the future?

If there are any more evil destroyers who fall into the ground, the consequences will be unimaginable!

His eyes involuntarily fell on Wang Anshi's back, the officials in the palace were still waiting for news, since the case had been solved, it was also appropriate for people to report the good news!

Wang Gui then sent the servants of Kaifeng Prefecture and the forbidden army to surround the protocol house where the Khitans lived, and committed suicide to create an excuse to frame the Great Song Dynasty, which had deeply angered him. The current Khitans are not VIPs but criminals, besieged them, and waited for the emperor and several prime ministers to deal with them. Then Wang Gui also left in a hurry, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he should also go to the palace to report the situation, and this matter must not be led by Wang Anshi alone.

Walking out of the concierge courtyard, Wang Yan asked, "Dongyang, it's really amazing!" But listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that Yelu poisoned Xiao Jie? ”

"** Don't leave ten, it should be him!"

"Then why don't you expose it?" Chai Ruone was very dissatisfied with the arrogant and domineering Yelu who embarrassed his uncle.

Lin Zhao said: "Presumably the two of you also saw that Xiao Jie's death was written and acted by the two envoys of the Liao State. Yelu Zhena said that he deliberately left Chai Gong to talk just to be a witness...... Xiao Jie's suicide should have been planned in advance. Think about how painful it can be for a man to plan suicide, so it was not just because he was poisoned that he was depressed and depressed at that banquet......

I have seen Xiao Jie's dying expression, there is not much fear but not enough calm, it can be seen that he may not be willing to commit suicide willingly. Jerry also seems to have noticed this, and it is estimated that he poisoned him in advance, just in case. Even if Xiao Jie refuses to commit suicide, it is estimated that he will die of poison, and it will still be blamed on my Da Song ......

Therefore, Yeluzhen is the mastermind, and they need the envoy to be killed in the Great Song Dynasty, and then use it as an excuse to send troops. If he is rashly exposed, and both of them are folded in the Great Song Dynasty, will the people who are fighting in the Liao State be annoyed and angry and use it as an excuse? It is better to keep him and let their own people gag their mouths. For such a big event, I don't know what the officials and ministers are going to do, so it's not good to be rash! ”

Chai Ruone couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Dongyang is not only thoughtful, good at detecting and solving cases, but also thinks about things more comprehensively and has more far-sighted!" ”

Wang Yan also nodded with satisfaction, as expected, Lin Zhao is really a talent! He began to admire his outstanding vision......

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

When Wang Anshi and Wang Gui came to the Vertical Arch Palace, several ministers and several Hanlin scholars heard that the murder case of the Liao envoy had been solved, and they all hurried over.

"Wang Qing, I didn't expect to solve the case in less time, out of expectation, it is much stronger than Kaifeng Mansion!"

Wang Gui suddenly sweated, and Wang Anshi, who was praised by the official family, was very dissatisfied with himself!

Fortunately, Emperor Zhao Ji continued: "However, Kaifeng Mansion cooperated in a timely manner, and the disaster relief was done well, and it was also hard!" ”

"This is where the duties of the ministers and others lie......" Wang Gui's mood improved.

Zhao Ji said: "Wang Qing, tell me the facts and results of the case!" ”

"The official family, it has been found out that the Liao envoy Xiao Jie committed suicide!" Wang Anshi then told the details one by one. Emperor Zhao Ji and several prime ministers were quite angry when they heard about it, and the Khitan envoys even used suicide and other paragraphs to make excuses.

Chen Xu said angrily: "I didn't expect the Liao State to be so despicable, using the birthday to create its own incidents and want to provoke a war. ”

"Thanks to finding out the truth, otherwise we would have suffered a dumb loss this time!" Zeng Gongliang is in the position of Zaifu, and the pressure is not small during this time, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"What now? It's an explanation to the lord of Liao! But how should we react? Send an envoy to question the lord of Liao? "Although the matter is solved, there is still a need for a solution.

Wen Yanbo, who was silent at a glance, shook his head and said: "This matter should not be rushed, the top priority is to find out one thing, whether what Xiao Jie and Yelu did was the meaning of the Liao Lord, or whether some people in the Liao State made their own opinions!" ”

"What does Prime Minister Wen mean by this?"

Wen Yanbo said: "The Liao lord Yelu Hongji has always been friendly with my Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State has just experienced the rebellion of the imperial uncle a few years ago, so it may not have the intention of mobilizing troops against the Great Song Dynasty. Could it be that the belligerents in Liao want to deliberately provoke disputes in order to profit from them? This is the only way to determine the countermeasures. If you act rashly, it may backfire! ”

Wen Xianggong's qualifications were there, and although Chen Xu had different opinions, he was not good at directly opposing them, but he just said: "A belligerent person? Probably not! It has been several years since the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan rebelled, and Yelu Hongji should have stabilized the domestic situation and there would be no chaos...... Perhaps the Liao State saw that the new monarch of the official family had ascended the throne, and it coincided with a disaster, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, or it was just a deterrent......"

Chen Xu's words, the suddenly choked Emperor Zhao Xu's face was a little unnatural! What do you mean? Liao spent so much effort, just to scare and scare me? Are you kidding!

"What do you think? There needs to be a closure! Zhao Ji restrained his mood and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we need to give an explanation to the Liao State, but the Liao State also needs to give an explanation to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is reasonable to send an embassy there!" Speaking is a Hanlin bachelor, with a compound surname Sima and a single name!

"What Master Sima said is reasonable! September is the birthday of Lord Liao, and it was originally the mission to send a delegation to congratulate him...... Why don't you handle the two things together, test the Liao country by the way, and ask the Liao lord to give an explanation! Wen Yanbo immediately agreed and added.

Emperor Zhao Ji pondered and said: "What the two Qing families said is good, but what should be the selection of this mission?" This time there is another important task, which is unusual! ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "The name of the mission is still to congratulate the birthday, so this is the candidate for the envoy...... It's just a good thing in name, of course, if you can choose a steady and responsible person, it is naturally the best of both worlds, and the candidate for the deputy envoy can make a good fuss, so be cautious! ”

Emperor Zhao Ji also nodded, and the opinions of several ministers were very pertinent, so he naturally adopted them in time and asked, "What about the candidates for the chief and deputy envoys?" What do you think? ”

Chen Xu said: "If it's just a birthday, Zhang Zongyi is a good candidate for the Ministry of Rites......"

"Feasible!" This time the envoy is just a façade, and the candidate is not so important.

"What about the deputy candidates?"

Sima Guangdao: "The minister recommends one person - Jixian School Note Zeng Gong!" ”

"Ouyang Gong's high feet!" I don't know if it's because of the same surname, Zeng Gongliang said: "Zeng Zigu is a stable person, knowledgeable and capable, it should be no problem to go on this trip!" "Zeng Gong's knowledge and ability are obvious to all, and everyone is not against it, not to mention that he is still a disciple of Ouyang Xiu, just to be a favor!

Sima Guang suggested: "The minister thinks that he should send someone who is familiar with the case to go with him, and then explain it to the Liao lord, so as not to make a fuss about the case again!" ”

"Yes, it should be!"

"But who to send?" Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Wang Gui, and it seemed that he was the one who was familiar with the case. Let the dignified Hanlin bachelor and the Kaifeng government go to the envoy...... What's more, after the chief and deputy envoys have been decided, what are you kidding?

Wang Gui's expression was quite embarrassed, and in the confusion, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a suitable candidate!" ”

"Who?"

"Lin Zhao, Lin Dongyang!"

Everyone was shocked, and Wang Gui explained: "This case was solved by him, and no one is more suitable than him!" "As he spoke, he secretly said in his heart, Lin Zhao, aren't you capable, aren't you able to speak well! Well, let's reason with the Khitans, and let you know how difficult it is to know the world!

"But Lin Zhao is just a cloth cloth, and the envoy to Liao is a matter that represents the national body, it seems a little casual, is it not appropriate!" Sima Guang is a notoriously rule-abiding person, and he is quite suspicious of this.

Wang Gui is now bent on promoting this matter, and said: "Although Lin Zhao is just a cloth cloth, he is also full of poetry and books, but he has not yet gained fame!" This time it is a great achievement to solve the case in my Great Song Dynasty, and the minister took the liberty of asking the official family to give Lin Zhao a background and appoint an official position! ”

The eyes of several ministers flickered on the faces of Wang Gui and Wang Anshi, with Wang Anguo's precedent, why is it difficult to give Lin Zhao a background?

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "This Lin Zhao is becoming more and more interesting, speaking of which, the old minister really wants to meet this young man!" ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Emperor Zhao Ji said with a smile, and turned to Wang Anshi: "Wang Qing, pass on Lin Zhao to the palace, I want to meet him!" This time I have made a great achievement, and I should personally reward it......"

Everyone already knows that this young man named Lin Zhao is really lucky, and his performance has killed countless scholars for ten years of hard work, which is simply a step to the sky!
