Chapter 119 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
The imprint on the newspaper is urgent!
What could it be? It's so serious that it's usually only the case in an emergency military situation.
Zhao Ji hurriedly took it, opened the fire paint seal, and took a closer look, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his expression was suddenly extremely solemn.
The Hangzhou private salt case has already begun to see its eyebrows, and it will be possible to have a result without saying it, Zhao Ji is very satisfied with this article, and Lin Zhao and others can be regarded as worthy of their mission.
The following continues to write: Yuhang County found that some people were raising samurai and secretly hiding weapons, which seemed to have the intention of plotting against them. It has now been found that Yuhang County Ling Li Feng is inescapable, and the Shenwu general Zhao Shiju has a close relationship with him, and it seems that he is implicated. This is based on the evidence of the Chen's speculation, and there is no real evidence at present.
However, the matter is really important, and I am afraid that there will be great changes, and the minister does not dare to hide it, so he has to take the liberty of speculating and reporting it, and ask His Majesty to learn from it. It is not known whether the traitors were involved in the sale of illicit salt.
Moreover, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the king of Yuhang County held a banquet on the West Lake, and he was afraid of a great change. The minister discussed with Su Shi and Shen Kuo, and if the situation was urgent, he wanted to jointly request Zhizhou to transfer troops. If you don't have the right to ask for the order, the ministers and others will make claims, please forgive me!
The meaning is very clear, the matter of private salt is already eyebrow-raising, as for what results can be investigated, it depends on their ability. Whether it can reach the expected level, this is hard to say, Zhao Ji believes that maybe Lin Zhao will surprise him.
Compared with the sale of illicit salt, there was another thing that shocked him even more!
Shenwu general Zhao Shiju and Yuhang County ordered Li Feng to rebel, although Lin Zhao said that it was only speculation and there was no evidence. But Zhao Ji believed that after all, there was no wind and no waves, and things would not come out of nowhere, and Lin Zhao could report it urgently, so he must have noticed some clues.
Moreover, since ancient times, this kind of thing of rebellion has been preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go, and since there is a stir, it must definitely be taken seriously.
What's more, it involves the Shenwu general Zhao Shiju, his rank is not high, but his identity is too sensitive. Since Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the descendants of Taizu have always been dissatisfied, and now it has been almost a hundred years, and it has reached the point of rebellion.
Zhao Yan was very angry, and Long Yan was furious!
At the same time, he was also very worried, after all, Zhao Shiju's identity and status were there, once it was revealed, what kind of impact would it cause? Especially in collusion with the magistrate, Li Feng is just a county order, this is found out, so it was not found out? Liangzhejiang Road, the south, the entire Great Song Dynasty, how many people still colluded with Zhao Shiju? I don't know!
Will it affect the safety of the throne? How much damage will it cause to the Great Song Dynasty? None of this is currently unpredictable and frightening.
Lin Zhao didn't exaggerate, this news was really urgent, even if it was just speculation. Zhao Ji vaguely hoped that this speculation was false, or they would not launch it for the time being, and they could solve it calmly.
It's a pity that time waits for no one, Lin Zhao specially emphasized that on June 6, something big may happen, how can this be good?
After a while, Zhao Ji gradually calmed down, and suddenly realized that this problem was also a good opportunity.
Since ascending the throne, there have been many people who have been unconvinced, and many people still regard themselves as juniors, and the prestige of this emperor is still not enough. Now it is just right that someone who is not afraid of death is sent to the door, and it is just with the help of the first rebellion after ascending the throne to deal with it with thunderous means and establish the authority of the emperor.
There are also those who sell illicit salt, as long as Lin Zhao can grasp the handle, he will definitely not be merciful. This is an incomparably rare opportunity, either not to do it, or to be completely complete, which will make everyone's hearts tremble, no matter who will not let it go.
Moreover, rebellion can be a good way to attract attention and divert contradictions, and the attention and resistance to change may not be so great. However, the recital came too late, and Lin Zhao made it clear that the change was likely to happen on the sixth day of the sixth month of June.
What is the situation in Hangzhou, and whether there will be major changes, Zhao Ji does not know. But one fact is very clear, if it is really June 6, the imperial court will have no time to react. The situation in Hangzhou is going to count on themselves, Lin Zhao has already greeted in advance, asking Zhizhou to mobilize local troops, as long as it is used to quell the rebellion, naturally he will not be blamed.
But the key is whether it can be successful? The highest administrative official in Hangzhou is Zheng Zheng, but unfortunately he doesn't know anything about this, and I don't know if they can say anything! Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng, I hope you are more interesting, don't miss my big event.
I don't know how many people Zhao Shiju's traitors gathered locally, can Hangzhou itself solve it? What's more, there is also the sale of illicit salt, and it is estimated that Uncle Yuhang may not give face, and the situation in Hangzhou is really chaotic.
You all wait, wait for the matter to pass, and then clean you up one by one! I don't know if I am remembered by someone or by the emperor, and the consequences are self-evident.
However, there are clear rewards and punishments for doing things, and there are punishments for mistakes, and merit is naturally rewarded! Zhao Ji secretly said in his heart: "Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, if you do this well, I will definitely reward you and give you a bright future!" ”
"Your Majesty, but what happened?" Wang Anshi stood at the bottom, saw Zhao Ji's face change several times, and guessed that something big must have happened.
Zhao Ji said: "Yes, Hangzhou may be about to change!" Convene the Ruling Minister's Hanging Arch Hall to deliberate! ”
Immediately, the emperor's secret edict was immediately sent to Jiangnan East Road, Huaibei Road, and various parts of central Fujian, so that the garrisons everywhere were on high alert for revenge, and then they were dispatched at will. Once the situation in Hangzhou cannot be controlled, it can only be dealt with by force, and the preparations that should be made are all indispensable.
On the fifth day of the first month ......~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~of June, there was only one day left before the West Lake banquet of Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County, Hangzhou, seemed to be calm on the surface, but in fact it was an undercurrent, and the atmosphere was actually unprecedentedly tense.
In the palace of Yuhang County, Zhao Zongyong asked in a deep voice: "Are the ships all arranged?" ”
Zhao Zhongye, the prince of Dongyang County, replied: "Father, rest assured, everything is in place and ready to be loaded and shipped at any time." ”
"Are you ready?" Zhao Zongyong was a little uneasy and asked one by one.
Chen Qi, who was sitting on the side, nodded and said, "Don't worry, the prince has already been prepared, just waiting for the shipment." ”
"Where's the money?" Zhao Zongyong loves money like life, and he attaches great importance to money at all times.
Chen Qi nodded and said: "The old rule, fifty percent is collected, and the other half will be served after the goods are shipped." These merchants are all old customers, trustworthy, and the prince can rest assured. ”
"That's great!" Zhao Zongyong nodded and said: "Since the evening of the Ming Dynasty, this king has held a banquet in the West Lake, gathering all the officials on the ground in Hangzhou until the evening. During this time, you hurry up to load the goods and ship them as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Zongyong made up his mind, and he personally went out to see all the officials, who would dare not give the face of the king of Yuhang County? When the time comes, the dragons will be leaderless, and no one will take care of things, so as to exchange this for time. It's a big deal to create some other chaos when the time comes, divert everyone's attention, and the possibility of success will be greatly improved.
"When the time comes, Zhong Ye and Zhong Shan will follow me to the West Lake to entertain the guests, and as for the loading and shipping, I will leave it to Chen County to make you fully responsible." Zhao Zongyong continued to make arrangements.
"Yes!" Chen Qi had no choice but to agree, but he really had other thoughts in his heart, and he had already cursed Zhao Zongyong's father and son eighteen times. You go to the West Lake to eat and drink well, let me work hard to load the ship, in case something goes wrong, put all the blame on me?
Think about it, don't think about it! Chen Qi is most worried about his son Chen Hong, no matter what, he can't affect his son Chen Hong. After going back, I have to take care of him, in case something goes wrong, things will be in trouble. He was still thinking about whether to find a way to send his son away first, but he didn't know that Chen Hongzai had already sneaked out to carry out his great plan at this time...... Zhao Zongyong asked again: "By the way, what are Su Shi, Shen Kuo, and Shen Kuo doing now?" Is there an abnormality? "That's what worries him the most.
"No, Su Shi is still busy with the headless case, Shen Kuo has just rushed back from Huzhou, and he said that he is going to attend his father's banquet. As for Lin Zhao, every time he says that he is nostalgic for the gentle township, he is already happy! Zhao Zhongye replied, but he was still a little uneasy, especially the mastermind behind the Fangjia Village bloodbath had not been found. The uncertainty made him uneasy, especially at this tense time.
"It's good that there is no change, watch tightly, don't dare to make a mistake at the last moment!" Zhao Zongyong was relaxed and quite confident.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ last moment, Lin Zhao's side also secretly discussed countermeasures!
At noon, Lin Zhao secretly slipped away from the flower boat, avoided everyone's eyes and ears, disappeared on the West Lake, and secretly went to meet Shen Kuo and Su Shi to discuss countermeasures.
"It is certain that there may be a large amount of illegal salt shipped tomorrow!" After many confirmations and several analyses, this conclusion has been determined.
"That's obviously when the net is closed, right?" Shen Kuo said with a smile: "It is more convincing to get stolen goods!" ”
"It's natural, but how do you collect this net? It's not a good thing that the fish doesn't slip away, or the fish dies and the net breaks! Su Shi was also quite worried about this.
"The matter of collecting the net, we can almost do it with our current strength, it seems a little stretched, try to do it well!" Lin Zhao said: "The key is that this rebellion, there is no news, when it will be launched, what will be done, we don't know anything, this is the most terrible thing." ”
"What should I do?"
Lin Zhao said: "I want to come to Bianjing, but the time is limited, we can't receive the will of the official family, I think it's time to see Zheng Zhizhou!" ”
"It's okay, mobilize the Hangzhou garrison, be prepared! Besides, it will be much more convenient for us to collect these big salt lords! ”
"Yes, go see Zheng Zheng now, prepare early, I hope that tomorrow can be safe and smooth!"
Su Shi and Shen Kuo both agreed!
For a while, the atmosphere in Hangzhou was tense, and it was really a mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings!
