Chapter 176: The Emperor Who Was Used
Emperor Zhao Ji opened the secret report, read it carefully, and his face gradually became gloomy!
Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao's actions in Hangzhou, he understands them all!
And in more detail and clarity than anyone knows. Because he has the most direct source by Lin Zhao's side, that is Su An!
Su An is from the forbidden army, and he is also a person from the Imperial City Division, which Lin Zhao doesn't know very well, but he knows a rough idea. The first time I went to Liaodong, I probably met by chance, and I was familiar with books and swords, but this time in Hangzhou, it was not so simple!
The emperor just asked him to help? Lin Zhao didn't think so, they both knew it in their hearts, and they just tacitly knew it! There is a way that the body is not afraid of shadows, anyway, it doesn't matter if you walk right.
What's more, this matter is not something that I can control, so I have to let it be. It may be a good thing to let the emperor keep abreast of his movements at any time and let him rest assured!
Like this!
Lin Zhao's every move in Hangzhou, Zhao Ji can grasp it clearly!
Now he has received the most detailed report, which is almost the true facts, and some things have been ignored, such as some people helping Lin Zhao find out the news and the like.
Of course, this time the report was a little slow, in addition to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the difficulty of the road. There are also some people who deliberately delay inseparably, but Zhao Ji doesn't know it.
Otherwise, the emperor is the best person in the world to deceive, after all, he has spent almost all his life in the palace, a place with a big palm. Everything can only be known with the help of outsiders, and it is too strange to the outside world!
Zhao Ji read the secret report, and only then did he know that the two most optimistic young talents, Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao, actually clashed in Hangzhou, and it was a big fight, and the result was a bit serious.
The emperor was a little angry about this, how did he get to this point?
Especially after reading the detailed content, Su An recorded it very carefully, and all the ins and outs and clues were clear, which allowed him to understand the whole process intuitively.
Because Su An himself was involved, and Zhao Ji also believed in his loyalty and neutral surname, he completely believed that the real surname of this report was beyond doubt.
The emperor was not too angry about Lin Zhao's approach. After all, the Lin County Order is also a public heart, and it has not been corrupted from it. Zhao Ji is still quite satisfied with Lin Zhao's performance in Hangzhou all the time, and the only thing that has a lot of complaints is that the green seedling method and Chang close the position.
Cai Jing was in full swing in Yuhang County, and Lin Zhao was silent. There is also an opportunity to use the regular closing position to play the price war, although it is for a reason, but it is also a little hanging. Especially in order to cope with Zhang Mingyuan's inspection, he actually came up with such a method, it's really a shame that he can think of it.
It's really thrilling, although it's a good heart, but it's really going to be exposed, how to end it? When the time comes, you have to be caught by someone, which is really uncomfortable.
But these are all forced out by Lu Huiqing and his brothers!
Relatively speaking, Zhao Ji was more annoyed by Lu Huiqing, because he actually used himself!
Zhao Ji suddenly remembered that a certain Lu Huiqing came to say that the three divisions wanted to check the grain that was often closed in various places. At the time, I thought it was just the deliberate obstruction of conservative officials, and Lu Huiqing was helpless, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
What did Zhang Mingyuan do when he went to Hangzhou? What can be achieved? Glance. Lu Huiqing is using the three divisions, and at the same time, he is also using himself.
A courtier actually took advantage of the emperor!
There are many such things in the past dynasties, and many people like to use the emperor's knife to kill people, after all, this knife is the sharpest. But once the emperor finds out, it's a different story...... Who likes to be taken advantage of? Ordinary people are still angry, let alone the emperor? Therefore, the use of the emperor itself is the rhythm of death, and it needs to be very cautious.
Lu Huiqing did it carelessly, he didn't know that the emperor had planted eyes and ears beside Lin Zhao. This ear and eye didn't cause Lin Zhao any trouble, but he discovered his little trick!
Think I'm so fooled? The exploited Emperor Zhao was very angry. I thought that Lu Huiqing was a loyal young talent, but I didn't expect that he was also such a despicable villain. So reused him to promote him, but in the end he treated himself like this, Zhao Ji's young man had a feeling of being hurt.
Zhao Ji was thinking in turn, if cronies like Lu Huiqing are still like this, what about the others? How many people in this huge court are sincere? How many people are still using their brains to take advantage of themselves, or how many times have they been used? Zhao Ji's mood suddenly became a little sad.
On the contrary, it is Lin Zhao, although the means are not in tune and crooked, but in terms of the current situation, he is above board. This made Zhao Ji very pleased, at least this one was not mistaken!
On the other hand, Zhao Ji was a little annoyed that Lu Huiqing didn't know the general situation. Qiantang County is the trial site of the Qingmiao Law hand-picked by himself, and how should Lin Zhao implement the grain market into such a situation? The two important officials who implemented the new law made Hangzhou into a miasma, and they had to be blamed by conservative officials, and then he would be embarrassed by the face of the emperor!
Zhao Ji wanted to punish Lu Huiqing, but the emperor's reason told him that he couldn't do this! First, Lu Huiqing is really a talent, he can be used in the matter of changing the law, he can help Wang Anshi, and in the case of a shortage of talents, he must make the best use of it. Second, although Lu Huiqing said that he used himself, his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty had not changed, so this person could still be used for the time being. What's more, a courtier with a stain and a handle is even easier to use.
You must know that in history, there are many high-ranking ministers who were suspicious of the emperor. In order to reassure the emperor, one of the methods they usually use is - self-defilement! For example, during the time of Han Gaozu, Prime Minister Xiao He was highly respected and had outstanding ability, but he was suspicious of Liu Bang. Seeing this situation, Xiao He sent his family to encroach on other people's good land. After this incident, Liu Bang was completely relieved of Xiao He. Imperfect courtiers, the emperor can only rest assured when he uses them!
Moreover, even if Zhao Ji has the intention to punish Lu Huiqing, it is not easy to do it now. After all, he personally issued the edict, and he had just been promoted to the crown prince Zhongyun, and the Chongzheng Palace told the story. If he is punished at this time, will he not be slapped in the face? Isn't it because you don't know anyone?
Few emperors are willing to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, and Zhao Ji is the same, the majesty of the Son of Heaven must not be damaged. So I can't clean up Lu Huiqing openly, but if I don't give him a look, I always feel uncomfortable.
Why did Lu Huiqing dare to be so arrogant? Isn't the position he is most proud of and proud of is the detailed text of the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions? Well, it will make you completely lose this proud capital! What's more, Lin Zhao has already killed one of his brothers, which can be regarded as making him suffer.
Originally, Zhao Ji was still embarrassed about how to deal with Han Qi's superiors, maybe a moment ago, he still firmly wanted to stalemate with such old ministers. But now he has changed his mind, since the functions of the regulations department of the three divisions overlap with the three divisions, and the name is not justified, then it will be abolished!
Such conservative ministers have nothing to say! After all, during this period of time, most of the doubts and attacks on the new law have focused on the establishment of the three departments and regulations.
Well, I will follow your wishes, and I hope you can give some face, this is barely a political deal! At the same time, it can also have a little suppression of Lu Huiqing!
Of course, this must not affect the implementation of the law reform. If the regulations department of the three divisions is gone, then the new law should be compensated to a certain extent.
Wang Anshi has been involved in political affairs, it's time to announce Ma and pay respects!
Lin Zhao definitely didn't expect that some of his actions in Hangzhou would inadvertently have such a subtle impact on the court situation, maybe this is the so-called butterfly effect!
As for his private transfer of Changping grain and the delay in the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, these made Emperor Zhao Ji complain.
But it is understandable, Su An has already reported that Lin Zhao had applied for sparseness before, but the post boat sank unexpectedly, and the Ministry of Industry can also confirm this matter. Hangzhou Zhizhou Zhao Luan also wrote that Lin Zhao had reported to him that there was indeed such a thing.
It can be seen that Lin Zhao did not make his own assertions, and he still clearly positioned himself. Zhao Ji was very pleased with this, and at the same time, he was also curious, Lin Zhao's ability is not small! With such a strong label of the new law on his body, how can Zhao Luan, who has always been conservative, appreciate and help so much? I heard that Su Shi has a good relationship with him, it seems that this kid really has two hits!
Zhao Ji didn't care about this, although he advocated the implementation of the law, he was a little unhappy with the conservative ministers who often advised and obstructed. But as an emperor, he didn't want obvious party strife in the imperial court. Of course, small-scale and limited ones can still be had, and it is best to have fun.
These are not important, I just hope that Lin Zhao will start as soon as possible in the future, and the implementation of the Seedlings Law is the top priority!
As for the grievances between Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao, Zhao Ji is not worried, and believes that Wang Anshi will not sit idly by. Whoever wants to go too far, then they have to shoot...... After this incident, Zhao Ji, the young emperor, became more mature mentally. He became more aware of the minds of the courtiers and the position of his relationship with them. He also became more and more aware of the fact that being an emperor is destined to be alone!
Exploit? Hum! Zhao Ji snorted coldly, there will be no more from now on. In the world, it can only be the emperor who uses ministers!
However, he didn't realize that in this matter, it was not only used by Lu Huiqing, but in fact, Lin Zhao also used the emperor!
Through the existence of Su An, the most real situation was reflected to the emperor, and then the most fundamental blow to Lu Huiqing was inflicted. In fact, among all Lin Zhao's tricks, this is the most ruthless!
Lu Huiqing didn't know about this, and Emperor Zhao Ji didn't notice it, so it could only show that Lin Zhao's inadvertent method was more natural and smarter!
