The emperor's mind is very speculative, especially a young and suspicious emperor like Zhao Ji. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The original intention of the Iron Mask Sect Master was to use the fact of the assassination in Taiwan Prison and the heavy rain to create a false impression that Lin Zhao was wronged, so as to win the support of public opinion.

But it turned out that he seemed to be wrong, Zhao Ji didn't listen to these at all, but felt that the Manchu civil and military ministers seemed to be persecuting him, and at the same time exposed the power behind Lin Zhao.

Perhaps the Iron Mask Sect Master's original intention was to deter Lu Huiqing, Wang Yan and others, but Zhao Xu's sense of smell was really too sensitive, and his suspicion was even heavier. It was a little counterproductive, but he was suspicious and dissatisfied with Lin Zhao, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted a little.

Moreover, Wang Anshi's reaction was stronger than expected, and the Iron Mask Sect Master didn't expect Wang Anshi to come forward again to openly support Li Fugui at such a sensitive time.

No one knew that this was actually Wang Yan's idea!

When the plan to assassinate Lin Zhao failed several times, Wang Yan was already a little flustered, especially the death of Lu Heqing, which fully proved that the other party had been aware of his and Lu Huiqing's actions. The people on Lin Zhao's side already know, will the emperor know?

What else can we do now?

Once Lin Zhao turns over, the negative impact on their father and son will inevitably be great, rather than this, it is better to insist on going his own way and persevere to the end.

Lin Zhao's case must be made into a death case!

In addition to collecting evidence, it is to win the attitude of Emperor Zhao Ji. Wang Yan knew that the emperor was actually biased towards his father's side, and Zhao Ji was now inseparable from his father, if he had to make a trade-off, he would definitely support his father and son.

Now. The emperor seemed to be a little wavering. Then it is necessary to let him take a "reassuring pill". So Wang Yan began to encourage his father Wang Anshi.

To be honest, Wang Anshi is a little wronged, he has a stubborn temper and character, but his heart is not bad. Throughout the Xining reforms, Wang Anshi's relationship with many people is very tense, but they are also gentlemen's disputes with different political views, and there are few villains who hurt people behind them.

Wang Anshi kept many things in the dark, and his daily worries were mainly about the implementation of law change measures. As for Lin Zhao's case, he didn't care too much.

The biggest characteristic of the unjust is stubbornness, once a person or something is determined to be right or wrong, it is difficult to change. The friendship between him and Li Fugui began in his early years, perhaps at that time, Li Fugui was still a gentleman, an official loyal to the monarch and serving the country, and the friendship between them was relatively sincere.

This is how Wang Anshi decided that Li Fugui was a good person, and he seemed to completely ignore that people can change over time. Lee Fu-gyu's mentality and character are also changing. Especially after he became prime minister as a friend, and his stubborn trust. To some extent, it fueled Lee Fugui's ambition and guts.

Think about it, if it weren't for a powerful prime minister's friend, would Li Fugui dare to do whatever he wants in the northwest? Are the officials of the northwestern states and counties afraid of Li Fugui because of this? Even if Wang Anshi had no intention of conniving at Li Fugui, in fact, it had already caused such a result. It's the same thing that you don't kill Beren, but Bethen dies because of you.

Wang Anshi's thoughts may be relatively simple, and the reason why he supports Li Fugui is mainly because of his trust in Li Fugui's conduct. Wang Yan's starting point was a little more utilitarian, and he took a fancy to Li Fugui's role and support in the army. In any case, the purpose of the father and son is still the same after all.

Of course, Wang Yan's later helplessness may have originated from Wang Anshi's first impulse, he should not have been so reckless to directly support Li Fugui, making all subsequent actions very passive.

But things have happened, and they can only go all the way to the dark, but fortunately they have the advantage.

Since my father has already supported Lee Fugui once, why not support it again? So Wang Yan instigated Wang Anshi, especially Lin Zhao, to form a party for personal gain, how disgraceful he was in this matter, etc., to add fuel and vinegar to his father.

Not to mention, Wang Anshi really believes it, can what his son said be wrong?

Wang Anshi's biggest shortcoming is stubbornness, and in addition to that, there is another point, that is, to protect the short!

He loves and protects Wang Yan in every way, even if Wang Yan makes a mistake, he unceremoniously protects his shortcomings. Perhaps he had the impression that his son was perfect, flawless, and stubbornly insisted on the fact that he was stubborn.

It is precisely because of this that he was deceived and used by Li Fugui and his son.

Wang Yan did take advantage of Wang Anshi to some extent, but in his own eyes it was a completely white lie. Can I just rely on my father's so-called gentleman's style to make things happen? Especially when conservatives oppose it so fiercely.

If you want to achieve great things, you can't lack the tricks of a gentleman and a villain!

Since his father is a gentleman, Lu Huiqing's villain has limited strength, so he has to reluctantly embarrass him. Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that Wang Yan is going farther and farther and more bold. For example, this time, he felt that everything he did was actually helping his father make up for his mistake of boldly supporting Lee Fugui.

Wang Anshi's letter did have weight, so that Emperor Zhao Xuan had to protect his henchman Wang Xianggong, and when Wang Yan learned of such a result, he was still a little complacent.

But after all, he was still too young, and he was a little arrogant when his eyes were above the top, and he didn't understand what the concept of coercing the emperor was? Zhao Ji has no choice but to stand with them now, but what about the future?

As everyone knows, Zhao Ji has long been very dissatisfied in his heart!

Speaking of which, he is the supreme emperor of imperial power, and the ministers obey him, but how is he not a tool used by the courtiers? A Lin Zhao case is enough to illustrate many problems, and it also makes him understand a truth, that is, courtiers can only be used for use.

Count on who to become a complete henchman and achieve a good story of a loyal minister of the Ming monarch, hum, don't dream. In the end, no one can be trusted, Lin Zhao is like this, and Wang Anshi is like this!

Unintentionally, Zhao Ji's mentality has changed. Not only for the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but even Xining's reform of the law also had some other ideas.

Perhaps at the beginning, he hoped to enrich the country and strengthen the army through this change, and become a generation of promising masters. But at the moment, beyond that. Zhao Ji had another thought.

Looking at the Qin Emperor, Han Wu and other promising monarchs. Which one is not in power? The premise of being promising is to first be a truly powerful emperor.

But what happened to the Great Song Dynasty? Taizu Taizong centralized power by dividing power. Strengthen the process of the monarch **. It also invisibly increased the power of the prime minister and scholars, and the power of the monarch was restricted to a certain extent. For example, the two scholars of Jixiandian and Zhaowenguan, as the prime minister and second minister of the Great Song Dynasty, have great power. In addition, the Hanlin scholars who served as the intellectuals had the right to refute them, and in some cases they could dismiss the emperor's decrees.

In addition, the Song Dynasty emphasized civil affairs over military force, did not get convicted for words, and did not kill scholars and doctors, which also invisibly connived at the civilian official group. This situation was taken to the extreme in the Renzong Dynasty. So much so that the current situation has been formed.

Zhao Ji deeply felt that he was not the emperor at all, and many times, many things still depended on the faces of the ministers, which made many things more restrictive.

After a long time, Zhao Ji was very unhappy, especially after being used many times, this depression and dissatisfaction gradually broke out. Lin Zhao, Wang Yan, Lu Huiqing, Wang Anshi...... No one would have thought that some of their unintentional actions would make Zhao Ji's imperial mind change so much.

From this moment on, Zhao Ji changed. The purpose of Xining's reform is no longer so pure, and the Great Song Dynasty has brewed another system reform. Who would have thought. Song Shenzong Yuanfeng's idea of restructuring originated today? Is the real purpose of Emperor Zhao Ji so complicated?

Zhao Ji's mentality has changed, from this moment on, he has become more ruthless, and at the same time, he needs to become tougher and more ruthless! And the performance is the attitude towards Lin Zhao's case, Wang Anshi's "coercion" he can only endure temporarily, so Lin Zhao naturally became his first knife to sacrifice the flag.

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

The case of Lin Zhao's treason against the enemy has progressed very quickly, and throughout the ages, the trial of the case has to go through procedures. With the emperor interrogating and many people adding fuel to the fire, the case soon began to be heard.

Among the three legal divisions, Dali Temple did not participate in order to formally avoid suspicion, and the case was jointly tried by the Yushitai and the Criminal Department. Because the person was locked up in Taiwan, the interrogation hall was placed in the Imperial History Tower.

Perhaps because the case was too big and attracted too much attention, neither Zhongcheng nor Shangshu of the Criminal Department came forward, and the presiding judge was only an ordinary Imperial Shi Li Han and Wang Dongjian, a waiter of the Criminal Department.

As for how this case will be tried and how it will be judged, these two people know it in their hearts. What was the reaction of the officials of the DPRK and China? What is the public opinion in Bianjing? They all know something about it. The balance in their hearts has begun to tilt, coupled with the news from the palace, the thoughts of the officials, and the opinions of the prince, this kind of vital information makes them understand in their hearts that it is self-evident how the case will be decided.

Lin Zhao was brought to court in such a situation!

I thought that I finally had a chance to argue, but I didn't know that all kinds of external forces were making his argument more and more powerful and meaningless......

This kind of rapid trial also made it impossible for some important evidence to be in place in a timely manner, and Lin Zhao's situation was very bad. Lin Zhao himself didn't know about this, and some others could only be in a hurry.

"Lin Zhao, what do you have to say about your collusion with Western Xia and treason with the enemy?" Wang Dongjian's first sentence was so direct.

Lin Zhao smiled coldly: "Collusion with Western Xia, what are you kidding!" ”

"Above the Imperial Monument, who is joking with you? Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia Dynasty, wrote a letter here, what else do you have to say? Li Han roared, and the momentum was very loud.

Lin Zhao had a vague bad premonition, today's rhythm doesn't seem right?

"Liang Yi's letter? Have you ever heard of the Counter Scheme? I was incompatible with him in Hehuang, hundreds of forbidden soldiers have seen it with their own eyes, and I colluded with him? It's a joke! Just find a soldier of the forbidden army who is on an envoy and ask it, and it will be clear! ”

"Really?" Wang Dongjian snorted coldly and said, "Okay, then find a few soldiers of the forbidden army to ask!" ”

Immediately, several soldiers of the forbidden army who accompanied the envoy were brought up, and their identities were witnesses.

Li Han asked, "Lin Zhao, do you recognize them?" ”

These people often follow him, and Lin Zhao naturally recognizes them.

"Do you all know the prisoner in front of you?" Wang Dongjian pretended to ask the soldiers of the forbidden army.

"Know, we once accompanied him, who was still an envoy at the time, to Hehuang Tubo!" Several soldiers of the forbidden army replied in unison.

"That's good!" Wang Dongjian nodded and asked, "Let me ask you, what did Lin Zhao do when he went to Hehuang to Tibet?" What contact can there be with Liang Yiburi, the prime minister of the Western Xia Kingdom? ”

"When Lin Zhao was in Qingtang City, he buried you with Liang Yi on the surface. But in fact......"

"Actually?" Li Han was interested. Immediately follow up.

A soldier of the forbidden army said: "Actually." They have a private relationship, and they secretly communicate with each other...... The concierge house is only separated by a wall, and on two occasions I have seen Lin Zhao secretly going to the Western Xia side......"

"What?" Lin Zhao suddenly became angry, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" What nonsense? How have I ever seen Liang Yi buried? Which eye did you see? ”

"We've all seen it!" Several soldiers of the forbidden army answered almost in unison.

Lin Zhao was suddenly a little stunned, there was nothing at all, why did the soldiers of the forbidden army lie?

Could it be that someone bought them! No, these forbidden troops are all from the front division of the palace, almost the emperor's own soldiers. How can ordinary people buy it? But why do they lie and slander themselves? For a moment, Lin Zhao was a little confused, almost completely at a loss!

Wang Dongjian looked at Lin Zhao, who was stunned, and sneered: "There are all the human and material evidence, and the facts are all there, what else do you have to quibble?" ”

"Why are you lying?" Lin Zhao asked coldly, and then asked, "What about Su An?" Looking for him to ask? ”

"Aren't the words of a few soldiers enough? You keep saying that you want to find Su An, could it be that this Su An is your comrade? Li Han said unceremoniously: "Su An has been dismissed for the time being, and it seems that it is necessary to let the front division of the palace investigate." Don't let the forbidden army also be mixed with collaborators and traitors! ”

What the? Su An was dismissed?

He knows who Su An is, and the only person who can dismiss Su An seems to be ......

Lin Zhao's heart suddenly became cold. A terrible feeling welled up in my heart, and if so, it was......

Su An was dismissed, the soldiers of the forbidden army gave unanimous perjury, and the unjust attitude of the Yushitai and the Criminal Department, all of which were linked together, made Lin Zhao realize a terrible truth.

Even Prime Minister Wang Anshi can't instigate so many people at the same time, and there is only one person who can do it, and there is no doubt that it is Emperor Zhao Xuan......

Is the emperor going to put me to death? Lin Zhao smiled coldly in his heart, and a powerless sadness and fear flooded his heart.

The belief that supports Lin Zhao's persistence until now is to return his innocence, because of Wang Anshi's participation, the only thing Lin Zhao hopes for is Emperor Zhao Ji.

Prior to this, Lin Zhao had always believed that Zhao Ji could level a bowl of water. The last time he spoke out against the Qingmiao Law, Wang Anshi was very angry, and Zhao Ji still reused himself in the end, which gave Lin Zhao an illusion. It was like that before, and this time Gyeongju has such a big matter, the official family will definitely uphold justice.

But when I arrived, I realized that I was wrong, everything was wrong!

Lin Zhao didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and he couldn't guess Zhao Ji's thoughts......

At this moment, there is too much sadness and disappointment in my heart, and I have such a mentality towards Wang Anshi and Zhao Ji. I used to be so sincere to help them and do things for them, but in the end, who appreciated it? Which one is not crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey?

Disappointment, anger, and even hatred surged into his heart together, and the taste of betrayal made Lin Zhao very uncomfortable. What is loyal to the monarch and pays sincerely, it is all bullshit.

At this moment, all the values since the rebirth were in vain, ruthlessly shattered, crushed!

Lin Zhao stood in place as if he was lost, the crime may not matter anymore, this kind of mental blow is the most cruel and cruel.

Wang Dongjian looked at Lin Zhao, who was a little depressed, and sneered: "Yes, did you acquiesce?" ”

"Default?" Lin Zhao also smiled coldly: "If you want to add to the crime, why do you have no excuse?" ”

"The facts are there, and you still want to quibble?" Li Han said: "Also, what do you want to buy war horses from Hehuang Tubo?" Is it collusion with the breeders? Ali Gu has already confessed to Tubo Zampu that you are the one who wants to blackmail him into providing war horses......"

Betrayal, another betrayal!

Although they used each other with Ali Gu, they didn't expect that this guy would also cross the river and tear down the bridge, and he also stabbed him in the back.

Either way, no matter what! Let's let the betrayal be enough at once!

"I bought the war horse, and it has nothing to do with the breeder!" Anyway, this is a fact, and it is impossible to deny it at all, so I simply and generously admit it. But one person does things and one person does things, Lin Zhao doesn't want to involve the breeder for no reason.

"It has nothing to do with the breeder, so who does it have to do with it?"

"You want to deny it, don't you? What are you secretly doing in collusion with the Seed Master? ”

"I bought the war horse, I just want to sell it for some money, and it has nothing to do with others!" The matter has come to this point, and it does not affect the planters, nor does it affect the families. Since the emperor has already killed himself, what can he do if he tells the truth? It's just a matter of implication...... It will also shake the Northwest Frontier ......

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao couldn't help but curse secretly, it's all come to this point, and he still thinks about his mother's border line! The Zhao family is not distressed, so why should he be idle? In this way, even if it is to help Fold Wenxin, give the last gift to Fold Seven Girl!

"So, you're pleading?" Li Han and Wang Dongjian both looked at Lin Zhao with a wicked smile.

"Plead guilty to what?" Lin Zhao sneered: "I bought the war horse, I admit it!" But collusion with Western Xia is pure nonsense! ”

"Then you refuse to admit your guilt? Don't force us to use torture instruments, how can you say that you are also a scholar, we don't want to be too rude! ”

Lin Zhao stood proudly and said loudly: "I didn't do it, why should I admit it?" Not only that, but I also want to avenge my grievances, avenge the grievances of the more than 1,000 soldiers who died in vain in Dashun City, and accuse Li Fugui of killing Pao Ze and concocting an unjust case! ”

"Lin Zhao, you are so bold, you refuse to admit your guilt, and you want to slander the loyal minister, it is a great crime!"

Wang Dongjian said coldly: "False accusation and reverse sitting, the crime will be added to the first degree!" (To be continued.) )
