When Emperor Taishang Neichan abdicated, he had already made checks and balances on Emperor Xiaode.

He arranged for Prince Yizhong to be in charge of the household department and Prince Zhongyi to intervene in the military department, and at the same time asked Emperor Xiaode's younger brother Prince Zhongshun to intervene in the ministry, so that a delicate balance could be formed in the court.

But Emperor Xiaode used Lin Ruhai to patrol the history of Yangzhou salt, which directly broke this balance.

Because of Lin Ruhai, Lin Zhao's father and son's strong ability to hold money, Emperor Xiaode had enough money, and he did not devastate the checks and balances of Prince Yizhong and Prince Zhongyi, and drove Prince Yizhong and Prince Zhongyi out of the court through exquisite political means, imprisoned them, and cleaned up their subordinates.

After this battle, the voice of the Emperor Taishang was greatly weakened in the court.

Therefore, at this point, Emperor Xiaode gradually reached the point of being arbitrary.

This fully shows how important it is to have money and power.

After all, everyone has worked hard to become officials, and most of them are not for the benefit of the people, but for power, wealth, and beauty.

Your Prince Yizhong has the financial power, and the money you make is not as much as that of a salt patrol and imperial history yamen, why do you mix with you?

So the situation has developed to the present, and there is no enemy in front of Emperor Xiaode.

All the opponents, except for the Emperor Taishang in the Taiji Palace, have all been hidden in the dark.

Therefore, the hunting of the Iron Net Mountain, the work of the Dragon Guards and the Jinyi Guards has become the top priority.

Therefore, after the Great Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Xiaode met with Lin Zhao alone.

"The iron net mountain is surrounded, and there are imperial horse guards and dragon guards around me, and you brocade guards must be responsible for the periphery, and there can be no mistakes. Emperor Xiaode said.

"The affairs of the ministers, the responsibilities, naturally duty, Jinyi Wei will go all out to ensure the smooth progress of the Iron Net Mountain. Lin Zhao said.

Emperor Xiaode nodded and said, "Okay, draw up a strategy as soon as possible and submit it, I want to see it as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he said: "Since you came to the capital, no one has called the name of this good wealth boy, but the signboard of Jingjie Tiger is very loud." ”

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty praised it falsely, in which mountain, sing that song, and do what work in what position, when the minister was patrolling the salt imperial history yamen to do the canonical history, he naturally had to clean up the salt rats, but now it is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he can naturally only do the work of patrolling the streets and arresting them." ”

"So you're doing your duty. Emperor Xiaode sighed: "But now there are not many people who keep their duties." ”

"That's because people's hearts are insufficient. Lin Zhao's tone was flat in front of the emperor, and he spoke eloquently: "In fact, the main thing is that Your Majesty is too merciful, as long as those who have bad intentions should be suppressed with majesty, those who are greedy for money should be begged, and those who rebel will be beheaded, and then let the common people improve their lives through struggle, to that point, Your Majesty's majesty and benevolence will spread throughout the Great Zhou, and everyone will naturally keep their duties." ”

"It's easy to say, I'm afraid that the rule of three generations will not reach this point. Emperor Xiaode sighed.

Lin Zhao was silent.

His Ming Empire barely reached that point.

However, he is an immortal, and he has tens of thousands of Paul Kochakin under his command, so he can barely do this.

So you can't use this to ask for Emperor Xiaode.

Emperor Xiaode said: "Okay, my momentary sigh was actually taken away from the topic by you." Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been founded for a hundred years, the land annexation is becoming more and more intense, and I have the intention to curb it, but I also know that the containment and annexation is only worth a while, but the Great Zhou uses money everywhere, you good money boy, what can you do to share my worries?"

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Yes, please open the port of Songjiang......"

......

We talked for a full hour.

Emperor Xiaode is smile: "Lin Aiqing, you are really my lucky star!"

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Your Majesty is eloquent, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the ministers are just doing what they like." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xiaode was slightly stunned, and then said: "The rewards and punishments are clear, you have such a suggestion, what do you want to reward?"

Lin Zhao thought about it, and was not polite to the emperor: "I heard that Your Majesty has a Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan's "White Picture of the Night", and the minister has admired it for a long time. ”

"Hahaha......" Emperor Xiaode laughed: "You have such a great achievement, I only rewarded you with a "White Picture of the Night" is really a bit out of your hands, and Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Festival" also rewarded you. ”

Lin Zhao bowed his hand slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Okay! I'm tired, Dai Quan, send Lin Aiqing out of the palace. ”

"The old slave obeys!"

......

Dai Quan was the confidant eunuch of Emperor Xiaode, and he personally sent Lin Zhao out, which was naturally a great promotion.

This naturally has a huge repercussion among the civil and military officials.

However, Lin Zhao didn't take it to heart.

In his opinion, there are two national treasures, "Illuminating the Night White Picture" and "Mid-Autumn Festival", which already reflect the mind of Emperor Xiaode.

He didn't care, but Dai Quan didn't dare to take it in front of him.

In fact, the Great Zhou is different from the Ming Dynasty, although the eunuchs in the palace are powerful, they are not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty's celebrants.

Dai Quan respectfully sent Lin Zhao out of the Wenhua Palace, and after walking a few steps, he met the eldest prince Dingwang and the second prince Yiwang who came to ask Emperor Xiaode for peace.

Emperor Xiaode is in good health, it was the same year, and he has only been on the throne for four years, and his brothers have not yet cleaned up the ropes, so naturally they will not add to the blockage of their next generation so quickly, so the sons are all kings, studying and practicing martial arts together, and there is no choice who is the prince.

Lin Zhao glanced at the two princes, moved the two paintings under his armpits to one place, and arched his hand slightly: "I've seen the two princes." ”

Lin Tongzhi was polite. This king will not dare to accept your great gift. King Ding smiled and said: "Although I often see Lin Tongzhi, but every time I come in such a hurry, I go in a hurry, it is rare that today is a good time, there is good tea from the fennel country in this king, why don't you go to this king to eat an extra cup of tea before leaving?"

Lin Zhao glanced at King Ding, and said with a smile: "Jinyi Wei is a foreign minister and military general, and his identity and responsibility lie, so he won't trouble King Ding, and King Ding will forgive me." ”

It was nothing for the minister and the prince to say a few words in broad daylight, but it was not a mistake to get together for tea.

Besides, I don't know who is who in the future, so why get too close to these princes?

King Ding was not reluctant: "Even so, this tea king and others have given you to go - it's not a good thing, you don't have to be polite to this king, it's not worth anything." ”

Isn't it a good thing that you gave me?

Am I rare?

Lin Zhao complained in his heart, and he had a trace of disdain for King Ding.

The people who came out of the palace couldn't speak so much, and they still wanted to win people over?

So Lin Zhao just smiled slightly: "Thank you King Ding." ”

The expression on his face was without any gratitude.

King Ding didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

A twenty-year-old young man from other places, it only took a few months to firmly control the entire Jinyiwei, and also built it with a new look, the people of the capital praised it, and the children of the family were afraid of it.

If it were time, Lin Zhao would definitely become an important minister in the court.

King Yi was on the side, and he seemed to be able to feel the embarrassment in King Ding's heart, so he smiled on the side: "Lin Tongzhi is really polite." But this king heard that the Lin family loves to drink this tea, and most of it is for Ling Mei?"

Lin Zhao replied lightly: "Yes, the sister-in-law has a weak spleen and stomach since she was a child, and this tea has a light taste, which is suitable for the sister-in-law to drink, so if someone sends this tea, the minister is naturally only grateful." ”

King Yi on the side said casually: "Lin Zhizhi's sister, Lin Xiangjun is also eleven years old, right? This girl is a year older, without delay, Lin Tongzhi should talk to his parents, and it is time to look at others with his heart." ”

Lin Zhao glanced at King Yi.

Just by looking at it, King Yi felt a shock in his heart, and the plan that had just risen was all extinguished unconsciously.

King Ding's mouth sneered, and he was very disdainful of King Yi's brainless behavior.

Dai Quan smiled on the side: "The hour is not early, the slave maid was ordered to send Lord Lin out of the palace, so he will not serve the two highnesses, and allow the slave and maid to retire." ”

King Ding waved his hand: "Don't dare to delay the justice of justice, Lin Tongzhi, if you are free, please sell face and have a cup of tea." ”

Lin Zhao arched his hand slightly and nodded with a smile.
