Hangzhou Mansion, Su Shi looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise, and finally looked at Lin Zhao suspiciously!

"Dongyang, what is this?" Su Shi was a little puzzled, looking at the little girl and feeling very familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it!

Lin Zhaodao: "I still remember the little girl who guessed the lantern riddle on the night of Shangyuan and the West Lake!" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Su Shi immediately remembered that this year was the first time he went out to enjoy the lanterns after his newlywed marriage with Wang Yanzhi, and he naturally remembered it deeply. In addition, the little girl's performance was wonderful at that time, and Lin Zhao was present, so she was very impressed, and she remembered it with a little reminder.

"Oh? So what's the matter? "Su Shi is still confused, what is the purpose of Lin Zhao bringing this little girl to see him? Even speculation is impossible to guess.

Lin Zhao said: "That's the ......" and then told the ins and outs of the matter.

After Su Shi heard this, his expression suddenly became much more solemn, it has something to do with the Qingmiao Law, which is first of all very important, and it needs to be handled carefully.

At the same time, he was also shocked that the implementation of the Qingmiao Law under the rule of Hangzhou had reached this level? It was too chaotic, and it actually caused human lives, which obviously exceeded the bottom line. Moreover, there was a murder on the ground in Hangzhou, and Fuyang County ordered Liu Hui not to report it in time, but wanted to cover it up through very despicable means, or even suppress and conceal it.

This made Su Shi very unhappy, he was in charge of the criminal prison affairs, and he was a conservative official, so this matter should be asked no matter what!

In Lin Zhao's view, Su Shi should be in charge of both emotion and reason. From the current situation, the little girl in front of her is the concubine of Su Shi in the original history.

According to historical records, Wang Chaoyun is a native of Qiantang, Hangzhou, and because of his poor family background, he fell into a singing and dancing class since he was a child, and he is famous for the West Lake. This point, although slightly different from the actual situation now, is also easy to explain. If he hadn't met himself and Su Shi by the West Lake that night, after Wang Yuanwai's death, under the suppression of the county order, the Wang family would probably be ruined, and it would be entirely possible for the dynasty to fall into the dust. History is full of such examples.

After becoming the name of the West Lake, it is not surprising that the hometown record became Qiantang County. The most important thing is that the characteristics of natural beauty, intelligence and intelligence are completely the same.

In the seventh year of Xining, Su Shi and several literary friends feasted and drank in the West Lake, Wang Chaoyun sang and danced, she was only twelve years old at the time, and her dancing posture was beautiful, which attracted everyone's favor. At the end of the dance, the dancer sat down to serve the wine, and Wang Chaoyun happened to be next to Su Shi. At this time, Wang Chaoyun deliberately washed away the lead, and appeared in a pro-beautiful, elegant, pure and lovely, and touching dress. This dress fell into Su Shi's eyes, making his steady heart can't help but fluctuate slightly.

At this time, the West Lake, which was originally beautiful and sparkling, became another scenery due to the change of weather, overcast clouds, and misty landscapes. The beauty of the lake and the mountain, contrasting with each other, Su Dongpo's inspiration came suddenly, and he wrote a good sentence describing the West Lake that has been praised through the ages: the water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate."

A wonderful poem came from this, a twelve-year-old girl can make Su Shi tempted, which is enough to see the extraordinary. And Wang Chaoyun himself admired Su Shi, and it was a coincidence that he appeared by Su Shi's side at that time, and it may also be a way for her to express her admiration.

After this incident, Mrs. Su Wang Yanzhi seemed to see her husband's intentions, so she bought Wang Chaoyun, first as a maid, and then became Su Shi's concubine many years later!

There are all kinds of signs that the Wang Chaoyun in front of him should be Su Shi's concubine, so this matter should be questioned by Su Tong's judgment!

"What does Dongyang think?" Su Shi asked in a deep voice, after all, this matter is very important, and you can't be hasty! So I want to listen to Lin Zhao's opinion first.

Lin Zhao said: "I have written a note, stating the pros and cons of the Qingmiao Law, and I am ready to submit it to the official family, as for the back of the case, if I can, I will ask Su Tong to judge ......."

The words are very clear, the impact of this matter is self-evident, Su Shi knows very well that when the emperor and Wang Anshi are full of joy, it is risky to pour cold water on the book. But Lin Zhao, an official with a clear label of the New Party, insisted on doing this, which shows that this person's character and surname, this alone makes Su Shi very admired and appreciated!

What Lin Zhao carried down was a chore, so the rest of the things ...... It is his business, especially the problems involved, and he should come forward to manage them.

Su Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just ask about this matter!" ”

"What about this kid?"

Su Shi smiled helplessly and said, "Stay, I'll let Mrs. take care of it first!" ”

"That's good!" Lin Zhao is exactly what he means, and it can be regarded as the beauty of sincerity and benevolence. I smiled secretly in my heart, one day, you Su Zizhan will invite me to drink Xie Media's wine.

Lin Zhao left immediately, and in a hurry, he didn't notice the reluctant eyes of the little girl Wang Chaoyun when he was leaving.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fuyang County surprised Liu Hui very much, how could a good judge know about Wang Yuanwai's death.

There is no wall of impermeable walls in the world, and the news eventually leaked.

Liu Hui knew that doubts were meaningless, and the top priority was how to explain this matter, and it was necessary to cover it up.

He knew that Su Shi was a conservative official, and he was "demoted" to Hangzhou because he opposed Wang Anshi's change of law. The two senior administrative officials in Hangzhou are conservative officials who oppose the reform, which is really distressing for an activist like Liu Hui!

Liu Hui thought of a lot of rhetoric, but in the end he found that it was to no avail, and the general judge could be said to know the situation well, and it was impossible to get through the trick.

Why did the official errand clash with the king? Why is there a situation of 30 households with one guarantee? A series of questions suddenly made Liu Hui a little overwhelmed.

So Su Shi immediately sent it to Bianjing, and at the same time, Lin Zhao's recital on what he had seen and heard about the Qingmiao Method was also sent.

Of course, it was very low-key from beginning to end, and it was a secret channel, and this matter needed to be told to the emperor first, so as not to cause an uproar. Because they know very well that once this matter becomes a big problem, the old party will definitely not let it go, and it will inevitably attack the law change, and it is difficult to say what it will turn into when the time comes.

Lin Zhao naturally didn't want such a situation to happen, if something went wrong, he still let Emperor Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi reflect on themselves, and give them time and opportunity to think and deal with it. If it suddenly goes straight to the big one, everything will be out of your control. First, it will refute the face of the official family and the prince, and second, it may be out of control.

Out of prudence, Su Shi and Lin Zhao had a tacit understanding and secretly advised together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bianjing, the palace arch hall!

Emperor Zhao Ji was reading the chapter, and the Privy Council had just reported that the number of horses raised in Shaanxi/West Road had declined this year, and the number of war horses that could be provided was relatively less than two percent.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji was very angry, and at the same time couldn't help sighing!

Because the Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Youyun, and the Western Xia was entrenched in the northwest, the horses of the Song Dynasty were extremely scarce, and a small number of horses came from the Sichuan-Yunnan area, but the quality of the horses was relatively poor.

Therefore, the quantity and quality of the cavalry of the Song army can be imagined, and the weak and pitiful suffered repeated losses in the course of the war against Liao and Western Xia. Without cavalry, long-distance strikes would not be possible at all, and every time a foreign expedition was carried out, the weight of grain and grass alone was already a huge consumption, and it was impossible to go on an expedition at all.

Therefore, in foreign wars, the Song army was almost always in a state of passive defense. Thanks to the good combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Song Dynasty, after losing the Yanshan barrier, they were still able to hold the long border line.

However, the problem of horses has always seriously troubled the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, so they raised war horses in the border areas to barely replenish the scarce war horses.

But what is the reason for the fact that the number of horses on Shaanxi/West Road has dropped by as much as 20% this year? Zhao Ji didn't know anything about this, and in comparison, he cared more about the result.

Horses, horses, how to solve the problem of horses? Zhao Ji has been silently talking about this matter in his heart. He suddenly remembered that not long ago, it seemed that Lin Zhao had written a letter.

It was proposed to open up a tea horse road to trade with Sichuan-Yunnan, Tubo and even Western Xia, exchanging tea and other Central Plains specialties for horses.

He didn't care about it at the time, but in retrospect, it seemed like a good suggestion. He immediately remembered what Longjing tea Lin Zhao sent from Hangzhou a few days ago, which had a unique fragrance and an endless aftertaste. and the quilt sent before the New Year, the imperial grandmother and mother were full of praise, Lin Dongyang is still real and unique, and he has made these strange things.

The proposal of this tea horse road is very good, go back and discuss it with the ministers, the inferior horses of Sichuan and Yunnan are not good, but Tubo can be considered. The relationship between the Tubo Qing Tang Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty in the Hehuang area was good, and perhaps this was an opportunity. As for tea, the Great Song Dynasty had it, and Lin Zhao suggested that the mountains in the south were not suitable for farming, but it was indeed a good choice to plant tea trees.

Thinking about this matter in his heart, the Zhongshu Province submitted the specific situation of the implementation of the Seedlings Law in various places, as well as the income account of the Seedlings in the first half of the year. Zhao Ji suddenly became interested, opened it excitedly, and saw those gratifying data, with a smile on his face, and his face was happy. But when he turned to Liangzhejiang Road, the official's eyes moved, and his face instantly became gloomy.

I saw Zhao Ji staring at the three words of Qiantang County, and then looking at the data behind him, there was surprise and incomprehension in his eyes, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be a little angry!

Xiao Huangmen only heard the official muttering, "Lin Zhao...... Lin Zhao ......"

Coincidentally, at this time, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, two secret performances from Hangzhou!" ”

"Bring it!" As soon as he heard the word Hangzhou, Zhao Ji suddenly looked nervous.

The two secret notes were quickly placed on the imperial case, Zhao Ji hurriedly opened it and took a look, his eyes swept over, the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense, and the color became more and more gloomy.

Xiao Huangmen vaguely felt that this was the prelude to Long Yan's anger......
