Zeng Gong actually represents his teacher Ouyang Xiu, Chai Xiao is Lin Zhao's wife's uncle, Zhao Luan has an extremely secret relationship with Lin Zhao, and Zhang Zongyi is completely unintentional. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is this combination that does not make people suspicious in the slightest, consciously or unconsciously, but very cleverly contributes to one thing, and everything goes smoothly, very fortuitously but also reasonably. Even they didn't know each other existed, so naturally no one else doubted it.

As a result, Lin Zhao became the best candidate for peace talks with Western Xia.

Zhao Ji does not object to this. Lin Zhao has the experience of envoying to Liao and Tubo, and can make the Liao lord Yelu Hongji admire, Tubo Zanpu Dong Yu is convinced, and Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia State, can he be bad? Lin Zhao's ability naturally didn't say.

He has a lotus tongue, is unparalleled in his eloquence, is smart and quick-witted, and is stable and generous, and is a good material for diplomacy in all aspects. What's more, he is now in the northwest, so he has a better understanding of the situation there, and it is more convenient for him to respond to the situation immediately, and his cooperation with the border army is also more closely and convenient. Moreover, Liang Yi was buried by him, and letting him deal with it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end. Zhao Ji also believes that Lin Zhao can handle this matter properly, and he is very confident in this.

He didn't know that Lin Zhao's beloved wife was captured in Jingzhou, let alone that Lin Zhao's private transactions with the Tangut people had begun, and he didn't know that the seemingly casual recommendation of the courtiers contained a special purpose.

Wang Shao of Gyeongju was also benevolent and righteous, and did not report the matter to Zhao Ji, so some special situations in the northwest have always been deliberately concealed. Everything is very natural, the whole thing is lucky, there is not the slightest trace of artificiality.

And so. Zhao Ji happily approved. Lin Zhao presided over the peace talks with the Western Xia as a squire of the military department. Northern Song Dynasty system. The Privy Council is in charge of the military, and the military department is completely a decoration. However, it is better to give a squire the rank of a squire to upgrade his status, and a small commander will go to the peace talks, but he will not be able to take it at all, and he will be said to be deliberately snubbing the Xixia people.

The main book of Honglu Temple, the promotion officer of the city department, the order of Qiantang County, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and then to today's military department, Lin Zhao is only a weak crown year, and the speed of promotion is extraordinary, and there is no one among the young generation. He is second to none young leaders. However, the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility, and at the same time, the power will increase, and the opportunities will increase......

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

"Grandfather, the official family has agreed to let Dongyang preside over peace talks with Western Xia?" Uncle Guo's Mansion, Cao Jian asked softly. Brightly and secretly, Lin Zhao's seniority is higher than him, but his actual age is almost the same, especially before. They are all based on their peers, so when they mention their names. Cao Jian was still vaguely embarrassed.

Uncle Cao Guo nodded and said: "That's right, Zeng Gong got Ouyang Gong's instructions and put forward a very good suggestion, and then Zhao Luan and Chai Xiao and they pushed the flames from the side, and the matter was done." ”

"Presiding over the peace talks, this is a major errand!" After all, the peace talks envoy represented the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, and it was extraordinary that it was related to the future of the country and its interests.

Cao Yan sighed softly: "It's a major errand, and it's not bad for Dongyang to go through it, but it's a little dangerous...... If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhe was captured by Western Xia, it wouldn't be like this......"

This performance in the Bianjing court was made by the Iron Mask Sect Master, and they had already begun to rescue him since they learned that Zhe Wenxin had been captured. It's just that there is no possibility of frontal rescue, and you can only think of a way from another angle. Sometimes, temporary rescue is not enough, and it is always right to take some other preparations.

At that time, the Iron Mask Sect Master realized one thing, the target of the Western Xia people was likely to be Liang Yi in Lin Zhao's hands, and Lin Zhao was destined to participate in it.

Although the Iron Mask Sect Master had no direct intimate contact with Lin Zhao, his understanding of Lin Zhao was extraordinary, far exceeding that of many people, and he could even be said to know everything about it. He was keenly aware that Lin Zhao might be impulsive because of the rescue of Zhe Wenxin, and do something out of the cabinet.

Especially after the statement that Liang Yi was buried in exchange, he was even more worried. Maybe Lin Zhao can take Liang Yi away without permission, but can the exchange go smoothly? What about after the exchange? Letting Liang Yi bury without permission is definitely a big deal, Lin Zhao will inevitably get into trouble, the meritorious deeds that have been established with great difficulty in the northwest will be ruined once it is small, if Lin Zhao himself is in danger, or if it affects the overall development plan in the future, it will be troublesome.

In particular, Long Yan was furious, and the impeachment of hundreds of officials would have a great impact on Lin Zhao's future development and major plans. The risks are significant, so it's important to prevent them before they happen. Lin Zhao couldn't care, but the Iron Mask Sect Master couldn't care, so he started thinking of a way early on, hoping to have the best of both worlds.

If there were peace talks between Song and Xia, would Liang Yi's burial be a purely private matter? If Lin Zhao intervened openly, would it be more convenient and more calm to rescue Zhe Wenxin? After the incident, do you not have to bear any responsibility? The best of both worlds.

Thinking of this, the Iron Mask Sect Master immediately set about implementing it. First of all, he informed Zhao Luan and Ouyang Xiu that since the Western Xia really intended peace talks, then there must be a peace negotiation envoy on the Song Dynasty's side. If this envoy is Lin Zhao, then everything can be easily solved, very smoothly, very smoothly.

Ouyang Xiu couldn't intervene directly, he was now the governor of Ruzhou, and if he rashly talked about such a thing, it would be too abrupt and easy to suspect. There is a lot at stake behind this, and I definitely don't dare to leak any news. Thinking about it, Zeng Gong happened to be in Taichang Temple, which was related to the yamen.

More importantly, Zeng Gong once had the experience of going on an envoy with Lin Zhao, so it was natural for him to recommend candidates. Therefore, Ouyang Xiu directly instructed, although Zeng Gong was full of doubts, he did not refuse, and did as the teacher instructed. Next, Chai Xiao and Zhao Pan sang and harmonized, adding fuel to the fire. As for Zhang Zongyi, he was completely unintentional, and it was precisely because of this that all aspects of the cooperation were seamless, and the event was a complete success.

"I didn't expect the East ...... Gongzi was so powerful, he annihilated 50,000 enemies, and captured Liang Yiburi. It's really ......" Cao Jian now admires Lin Zhao a lot. has gone from before out of reverence for its identity. turned to sincere admiration.

Cao Tong was also very pleased, and said: "It's a good thing that Gongzi has done something in the army, and he will ...... in the future ...... in the future" Uncle Cao Guo stopped, but Cao Jian could probably understand the meaning of the words, and he was thinking about many things in his heart.

"Cao Jian, last time I said that you should be closer to Di Yong. Did you do that? Cao Yan was silent for a moment and asked another question.

"Yes, as I am told. Grandfather, a few days ago, the county lord of Qinghe held a banquet, and his grandson was among the invitees, and he had seen Di Junma! "Cao Jian is a little curious, how can he have a relationship with the generals of the forbidden army? This doesn't seem to be the style of the Cao family, even if Di Yong is a county horse, there is not much intersection......

Cao Tong nodded, seemingly satisfied. said: "Very good, then let you enter the front division of the palace." What do you think of working under Di Yong? ”

"Huh? Go to the forbidden army, in front of the temple? Cao Jian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard his grandfather propose this. The Cao family is a military family, in the early years, Cao Bin was the first general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin was able to dominate the world, and Cao Bin was absolutely indispensable. However, since then, the identity of the Cao family has changed, and it has become more and more valuable, so naturally there is no need to continue to fight on the battlefield.

It's been a long time, and few of Cao Jian's descendants have joined the army. Once the identity is valuable, there will be some fear of death, so there is no need to take risks. Cao Jian was very surprised, he didn't expect his grandfather to suddenly have such a proposal, did he mean to let himself join the army? To be honest, Cao Jian was really a little sudden.

"Yes, Cao Jian, you are the grandson, the burden of the Cao family will naturally be on you in the future, so you must have more experience. With your grandmother and me in the past, Cao Jian's status will not be affected, and he will be as prosperous as ever. But we're all older, and we don't know when we're going to ...... At that time, the Cao family will have to decline and go downhill day by day. Therefore, the future of the Cao family still depends on you, so you can no longer be idle and idle like before. "Uncle Cao Guo's fourth uncle told a very reasonable, well-reasoned reason.

Cao Jian muttered slightly in his heart, military is the tradition of the Cao family, so he has no objection to entering the army to train. But how so suddenly? Even if it's an experience, why go to the temple front division? It seems that his father wants to be under Di Yong, is it possible that there is anything to do with it?

Cao Jian was very puzzled and curious, and then a little belief involuntarily appeared in his mind, Shicai's grandfather had been caring about Lin Zhao, and suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment, could it be related to him? What is the place of the temple priest? This is an important institution for the protection of the Imperial Palace, so it is difficult to bring yourself here......

For a while, Cao Jian couldn't help but think of a lot, and even thought of the worst consequences, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. A pair of cold eyes full of surprise fell on Uncle Cao Guo, obviously curious to ask.

Uncle Cao Guo nodded lightly and said, "That's right, let's go to the front of the palace first, if the official family sees you, maybe they can remember the good of our Cao family." If not, the future will ...... The responsibilities of the front division of the palace are important, and they are very beneficial to your future and the future of our Cao family. ”

"Yes!" Cao Jian seemed to have a slight understanding, and only vaguely thought of something. I didn't expect to be in charge of such an important thing. Although some things have not yet been brushed up, and the possibility is very small, Cao Jian has a strong sense of expectation in his heart, looking forward to the arrival of that day......

Let Cao Jian enter the front division of the palace and go to Di Yong's subordinates to do things is the proposal of Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of Chu State!

Cao Tong thought about this matter for a long time, and only recently did he have some relatively clear answers, and finally agreed.

There are many reasons, the first one, as Zhao Fukang said, Cao Jian is already a big boss, but in fact, he is idle and has nothing to do, and over time he will become a gentleman. Although Cao Jian's situation is quite good and he has been much more restrained, he is a little too frivolous after all.

It's not wrong to let him enter the barracks to have a good experience, sharpen his character, and lay a foundation for his career, maybe he will do something in the future. It is also good that the grandson's future can be settled.

That's right, Uncle Cao Guo is prepared with both hands. Do you have to have any other ideas when you enter the temple? Cao Jian stayed in front of the palace step by step, safe and stable, loyal, presumably it would be beneficial for the emperor to see him, at least in the short term, Cao Jian's status and interests would not be affected.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a long-term investment. In case Lin Zhao's side can have a greater development in the future, and at the critical moment of great success, Cao Jian of the front division of the palace can give key help, which will definitely be a major achievement that shocks the world.

In fact, from the very beginning of contact with the Iron Mask Sect Master, the Cao family had already made a choice. Uncle Cao Guo just didn't want his grandson to get involved, after all, Cao Jian was still young, in case something went wrong...... It's worrying.

After Zhao Fukang's proposal, Uncle Cao Guo thought about it carefully, some things are not so absolute. It is possible to let Cao Jian adapt to it first, but it is not necessary to fix a certain goal from the beginning, or it can be improvised, no matter what the result is, the interests of the Cao family are the first priority......

Of course, what they want to see the most is the latter, hoping that Lin Zhao can make a breakthrough in the future and achieve great things. Cao Jian is now involved in it, and it is impossible to withdraw and retreat, and in this way, the status and influence of the Cao family will change qualitatively, and it will definitely not be in such a half-dead state as it is now......

Uncle Cao Guo also hopes that Lin Zhao can succeed emotionally, and let Cao Jian be in front of the palace, and the most important thing is to work from the dragon one day in the future.

As for the possibility, there is still a lot of hope for the present.

Lin Zhao's performance in the northwest was wonderful, and Liang Yi, who was captured in the Battle of Dashun City, was buried, which was a good time to become famous. The spread of nature, coupled with the deliberate promotion by some people, Lin Zhao is now an idol in the Western Army, the god of war, widely praised and admired, and has gathered a lot of popularity, and everything is developing according to the expected situation.

Lin Zhao's performance did not disappoint him, and the future can be described as bright. It is precisely because of this that they need to try their best to find ways to protect Lin Zhao and make it as convenient as possible for him, so that their careers will not be hindered by some trivial things......

Therefore, as soon as the news of the Iron Mask Sect Master arrived in Bianjing, Uncle Cao Guo began to run, and several people cooperated quite well. At present, the heavy responsibility of peace talks with Western Xia is in the hands of Lin Zhao, and rescuing Zhe Wenxin can also be bright.

It's just that the stakes are very high, and the opponents on the Western Xia side are also extraordinary, and it is not easy to succeed easily.

Cao Guo's uncle and grandson are looking forward to it, this is a preliminary test, and they are looking forward to Lin Zhao's future road becoming more and more exciting...... (To be continued.) )
