It seems that Lin Zhao has caused a catastrophe, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, the matter is not so serious.

Tang Jie's death is true, but the cause of death was a backlash and he died, and as for being angry by Lin Zhao, it is not even a trigger. What's more, at that time, the court argued with each other, which was very normal, and it was he Tang Jie who fired first to attack Lin Zhao, but unfortunately everyone refuted together, Old Man Tang couldn't support it himself, who could blame him?

Therefore, although there are many verbal and written criticisms and impeachment, it is obvious that the reasons for the guilt are far-fetched.

In addition, there is another reason that makes Lin Zhao's mood a little calmer, and that is the attitude of Emperor Zhao Ji.

went to Dengzhou to investigate secretly, and chose to put it forward in the court, it was Zhao Xu's idea, Lin Zhao was just acting on orders, and he was the emperor's vanguard officer.

It seems that Lin Zhao scolded the hundred officials and scolded Tang Jie, but in fact, it was Emperor Zhao Ji who dealt a heavy blow to the conservative minister. Those who have a heart should be able to see that if there is no acquiescence and support from the emperor, Lin Zhao has the courage to scold the prime minister and Hanlin? Of course, Tang Jie's matter was an accident!

What's more, Lin Zhao's behavior was originally hinted by Zhao Xu, and what he instructed was to help the emperor carry the black cauldron. So how to deal with this matter, Zhao Ji should not be too ruthless, and will try his best to maintain Lin Zhao's ......

The trouble is still the beating of Zhao Hao, although it is reasonable, but the rumors are getting wider and wider, and they all say that they are jealous in order to compete with King Qi. There is no way, Chai Minyan said that the name of the first beauty in Bianjing is really too big.

Lin Zhao knew in his heart that Chai Minyan might have been affected, and Zhao Hao and Zhao Zhongshan were obviously aimed at themselves, and they were uneasy and kind. The reason why he made a move was also because that group of gentlemen didn't know the height of the sky, it was too much, and they deceived people too much. As long as it is a man, you can't sit back and watch Chai Minyan being trivialized......

Whether it's impulsive or unavoidable, people have already fought anyway!

Lin Zhao felt that he had to find a way, so he immediately asked Gao Da to secretly go out to find reliable people and spread gossip all over Bianjing. So soon a saying quietly spread, saying that His Royal Highness King Qi took a fancy to the white horse of Master Lin's book, and he couldn't buy it by force, so he deliberately found fault and made trouble......

At the same time, there are various renderings, how hard Lin Zhao got the white horse, and the heroic deeds in the Liao State gradually spread, and the people knew that Lin Gongzi was a hero...... Relatively speaking, King Qi relied on his identity and power, forced to buy and sell, and flirted with women, which was completely a standard gentleman......

Later, even the envoys of the Liao State who came to congratulate Zhengdan had heard of it, and expressed their dissatisfaction at the same time, the white horse was given to Lin Zhao by the crown prince of the Liao State, whether it was bought or robbed, it was disrespectful to the Liao State. A small thing seems to have a tendency to escalate into a diplomatic dispute......

In this way, even if the official is impeached, the problem is not very big, and it is relatively easy to deal with.

But this matter is still very troublesome, because it has offended the Queen Mother Gao Taotao. Zhao Hao is the meat of his heart, and after he reaches the age of sixteen, he still lets him live in the palace, this favor is unique......

There may be only two people in the Great Song Dynasty who can move the empress dowager, one is the empress dowager Cao, and the other is the emperor Zhao Ji. The Cao family can't get in touch, and now they can only hope for Zhao Ji, it depends on how he and his brother are in relationship, and whether he is willing to persuade his mother for the sake of the favored courtiers......

For Lin Zhao, everything that should be done has been done, and other things can only be left to fate......

In the palace, Gao Taotao looked at the bruises and scars on his youngest son's face and body, and Gao Taotao was distressed.

"Imperial Doctor, how is Zhong Ming's injury?" Zhao Hao, the table character Zhongming, the second son of the Empress Dowager Gao. After returning from injury, the entire palace was a little restless. Almost the entire doctors of the Imperial Physician's Office were invited to jointly examine His Royal Highness King Qi.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness only had some bruises and abrasions, but did not hurt the muscles and bones. Flesh wounds are not in the way, apply some ointment, and then eat a few decoctions to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and it will heal after a few days of rest. ”

Lin Zhao is not ignorant of the severity, it is true that he beat Zhao Hao, but he also paid attention to the scale, and he never really hurt his muscles and bones. If you really have a big problem, acupuncture is inevitable.

Gao Taotao finally put his mind at ease and responded: "Prescribe medicine, apply medicine to King Qi!" ”

"Zhong Ming, does it still hurt? It doesn't matter, it's just skin trauma! Gao Tao comforted the second son.

Zhao Hao said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, the pain is a small thing, the reputation and dignity of the son is a big thing, the prince was beaten by an eight-grade small master, how will I see people in the future?" ”

"Hmph, Lin Zhao, I really don't know how arrogant I think I have made some contributions in the previous dynasty, and I actually bullied the royal family, I don't know whether I live or die!" Punching the second son, Gao Tao's phoenix eyes were cold and angry.

"Lin Zhao!" Thinking of this person, Zhao Hao suddenly became angry, his eyes almost wanted to kill, and then said: "Queen Mother, this person is arrogant, has no royal eyes, and punches the prince, should he be arrested and severely punished?" ”

"That's nature!" Gao Taotao immediately ordered: "Go and tell the official family that after you are busy with government affairs, you have to come here for a while!" "Although she is the queen mother, there are some affairs of the previous dynasty that have to be handled by the emperor, otherwise she will be criticized for protecting her shortcomings.

"Zhong Ming, I heard that there is still the daughter of the Chai family? What the hell is going on? Gao Tao was somewhat suspicious and asked softly.

Zhao Hao said: "Chai Minyan's demeanor is moving......"

"Looking back, you are about the same age, if this woman has that blessing, what can you do with me Zhongming as a concubine?" Gao Taotao is absolutely doting on Zhao Hao.

In the vertical arch hall, Emperor Zhao Ji was also listening to the report of the Imperial City Division's personal servants.

Jiangnan Ju was already stared at, and Zhao Ji ordered to pay attention to Lin Zhao, so after the incident, Zhao Ji quickly received a report and learned about the process at that time.

"How did King Qi and Lin Zhao contradict each other?" Zhao Ji was a little strange, how could his younger brother and Lin Zhao fight when they met for the first time?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi and Lin Zhao are indeed meeting for the first time, but ...... More than half a month ago, His Royal Highness went to Jiangnanju with He Neishi, and His Royal Highness seemed to have taken a fancy to Lin Zhao's white horse, and it was estimated that He Neishi's attitude was not very good, so the purchase was unsuccessful, and he may hate Lin Zhao because of this. Yesterday, it was said that Chongyigong's niece happened to be there, and His Royal Highness seemed to be ...... Later, His Highness they ate a lot of wine, so they ......"

Zhao Ji probably understood that Lin Zhao, whom he understood, would not be so reckless, and he would not have made a move if he had no choice but to do so. The younger brother and the group of clan gentlemen are all messing around, and there are some bad habits that are contaminated...... Eighty percent of them were drunk, light on the daughter of the Chai family, and had new and old grudges, so that there was a conflict......

There was already a book of recitals on the imperial case, which was urgently handed over by Chongyi Gong Chai Xiao to ask for guilt. nominally asked for guilt, but in fact, it was to explain the situation in detail, and at the same time take some responsibility for himself, exonerate Lin Zhao, and plead for mercy......

Zhao Ji believed in the content described in the concerto, Chai Xiao didn't dare to fake, this is the case, and Lin Zhao can't be blamed too much. Moreover, the Chai family is involved in this matter, and the identity is sensitive, so it needs to be handled more carefully.

"Who has King Qi been dealing with lately?"

"Recently, King Qi and Zhao Zhongshan, the second son of King Yuhang Jun, have been in contact with Zhao Zhongshan, the Marquis of Fushui, and Zhao Zhongshan and Lin Zhao seem to have some contradictions......"

The official didn't say anything, but among the clues, Zhao Ji had already thought, what role did Zhao Zhongshan play in this matter? It would be foolish for a royal prince to be taken advantage of......

"King Yuhang? Is his family still stable in Qiantang? ”

"Back to the emperor, there has been no unquiet over there......"

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and seemed to mumble to himself: "I don't know how to converge, hmph, I'll clean up your ...... later" and then asked: "By the way, what was the situation at that time?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi's language...... The language is straightforward, and the Duke of Ji Guo is even more rude, and Miss Chai is light, as if Lin Zhao can't see it, so she stepped forward to stop it, and then she started fighting...... "The pro-servant official said: "At that time, His Royal Highness King Qi shouted: 'You are angry with Tang Xianggong...... Today, I will teach you to avenge the Tang Prime Minister's ......'"

"That's what he said?"

"Yes!"

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash, and it was not easy to notice......

At this moment, an attendant reported at the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please have time to come over!" ”

As expected, Zhao Ji's eyes became more complicated! He just answered and didn't move. Instead, he instructed: "Send someone to inform Lin Zhao and wait in front of the Daqing Gate, I want to go out of the palace to mourn Tang Xianggong......"
