My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 235 Wang Lin and the Emperor's Interest Exchange
Zhao Ji leaned lazily on the bed, legs crossed, with a meaningful expression on his face.

Wang Lin knew that the emperor couldn't bear it at last, and wanted to talk to him about Zhao Fujin.

The matter between him and Zhao Fujin did not hide from the emperor's eyes.

It's normal to say that, after all, he didn't deliberately cover it up, especially when he took Zhao Fujin out of the palace today, it was almost blatant, it was a deliberate temptation to the emperor.

But he didn't take the initiative to speak.

As long as he opens his mouth, he will consume the holy family and offset this great contribution to saving him.

But it was different when the emperor opened his mouth on his own initiative.

Wang Lin pretended to be stunned and said, "I don't know what the official wants to say to the minister?"

Zhao Ji snorted: "You boy are really cunning, you and Mao De these two days...do you think I don't know?"

Zhao Ji swallowed the phrase "a concubine's love" in time.

A look of panic appeared on Wang Lin's face at the right time, and he quickly knelt down and bowed down: "I deserve death for my crimes! I saw that Maode Diji was so sad and haggard for my minister that she was almost broken. I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't help myself for a while. , please punish the officials!"

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment.

Said lightly: "I have also seen the situation of Maode in the past six months, and it hurts in my heart. Maode has a deep affection for you, I don't know, but Qing is married, she is the emperor's daughter, if I order you to divorce your wife and marry another , you definitely won’t follow, but if it weren’t for this, how could my own daughter, the Great Song Empress, be a little girl for you?”

Wang Lin remained silent.

Divorcing a wife is impossible, you are talking nonsense, if you say it, you don't say it.

He said in his heart that you are the emperor, you have the final say, and you will definitely find a way.

He didn't believe it anymore, he saved him twice, shouldn't he give him something in return?

Moreover, with Zhao Ji's panic-stricken mentality, he still counts on himself to defend me. Can he have a rift with himself because of the so-called secular concepts and the etiquette of the Song Dynasty?
Of course, Wang Lin didn't completely count on Zhao Ji.

Wait a few more years, anyway, Maode is still young, the future... Once the time is right, all the problems will no longer be problems.

As long as Zhao Ji doesn't force Zhao Fujin to marry.

"How are you going to arrange Maode?" Zhao Ji said slowly.

"I don't know, I'm going to die!" Wang Lin fell on the ground and couldn't afford it.

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing and said: "You boy... are you playing tricks on me?"

Wang Lin: "..."

Zhao Ji: "..."

"Originally, you are my protégé and my beloved minister. It would be the best to form a friendship with me as a husband and son-in-law. But in the Song Dynasty, the son-in-law cannot lead the army. I am in a dilemma."

"After thinking about it, this matter is difficult. It is difficult for me to make a decision at the moment."

Zhao Ji thought about it and said again: "But there is no rush in advance, what should be yours will always be yours. But there is another matter that needs you to share my worries."

"I listen to the hadith."

"Although I want to demote Prince Yun's heirs to common people and exile his family members, and concubine Zheng's heirs will be demoted to nobles and deposed from Beijing, but I really can't bear it. They are all my children, and I really don't want to see fratricide. ...It's better to let these people be resettled in Qingzhou, I don't know what you want?"

Wang Lin's complexion changed.

really.

The emperor wanted to plant a thorn between him and the prince.

It seems that at this moment, he and Zhao Huan will never return to the harmonious state of father, virtuous and son filial piety.

In order to form a check and balance against Zhao Huan, he came up with his own ideas.

"I know you are in a difficult situation, but in the current situation, only you can protect my heirs. Otherwise, the prince will definitely not let it go, I am right."

Wang Lin's eyes flickered, the emperor wanted to exchange benefits with him.

As long as he agrees to protect the children of King Yun's family members and Concubine Zheng, he will agree with Zhao Fujin.

In this way, he and Zhao Huan must be at odds.

The harmony of face may be maintained in the present, but it will definitely fall apart in the future.

Wang Lin thought to himself: It seems that this time his title of Prince and Young Teacher must be taken off.

He suddenly remembered that Zhao Ji had sent Zhao Gou to Qingzhou as an envoy to welcome the gold, and this time, he wanted to send all the princes to Qingzhou. Zhao Ji obviously wanted to set up another flag outside the prince.

I'm afraid... Zhang Shuye will be transferred from the capital.

I still underestimated Zhao Ji a little.

After all, for those who have been emperors for 20 years, even rotten wood has been smoked into huanghuali.

Zhao Ji stared at Wang Lin with piercing eyes.

Wang Lin thought for a while, and then made a decisive decision.

After this incident, the possibility of Zhao Huan seizing the throne again is infinitely close to zero.The heads of those implicated by King Yun are rolling. I am afraid that most of the courtiers, including the generals who lead the army, will learn a profound lesson.

And without the political enemies of King Yun and Lu Yihao, the cabinet ministers such as Li Gang might not necessarily support his early ascension to the throne.

And Zhao Ji, the emperor, is in a prosperous spring and autumn, and he still has many years to live. Except for him voluntarily giving up the throne, Zhao Huan would find it difficult to replace him.

"I should do my best, please rest assured that the officials. But this matter may cause strong opposition from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Lin said.

Zhao Ji laughed loudly: "Zhen will make a decree to send it to China and abroad. If he wants to object, he will come to me to argue."

……

Zhao Huan discussed with Li Gang, Zhang Shuye, and Wu Min, and finally decided on the regulations, and prepared to play Zhao Ji's ruling:

[-]. Prince Yun's heir was demoted to common people, and his family members were exiled in Yunnan and Guizhou, never pardoned, and never entered Beijing.Foreign relatives and cronies were exiled.It mainly involves the relatives of Princess Yun Zhu Fengying and side concubine Qiu Zhi.

Second, Wang Guifei was demoted to a virtuous concubine.Su Wang and others were demoted to the first rank, dismissed from Beijing and moved to the Hebei frontier, never hired.

[-]. The king of Yan, the king of Wu, and the captain of the son-in-law, Gu Dachuan, were rebellious and bestowed with death.Three branches seized the title, and the descendants of the descendants were confined to Ying Tianfu.

[-]. Lu Yihao, Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, Xue Jirang and other nine persons were sentenced to death, and their families were exiled to Lingnan.The rest of the rebellious courtiers and generals were punished, and the past was not to blame.

In fact, this is a relatively appropriate plan, which achieves the goal of severely punishing rebellion, without implicating innocent people, and ensuring the stability of the court to the greatest extent.

However, Zhao Huan took this plan and went to Yanfu Palace to find Zhao Ji to play. Zhao Ji undoubtedly proposed detailed changes and agreed in principle, but changed the exile and resettlement of the family members of King Yun's descendants and King Su to Qingzhou.

Zhao Huan was naturally furious, and the father and son argued again.

But this time Zhao Ji was very tough, Zhao Huan had no choice but to grit his teeth and submit.

Outside the Yanfu Palace, Li Gang and others, Zhao Huan's face was ashen, and they were secretly thinking about it when they asked what happened.

Obviously, the emperor was guarding against the prince, and he wanted to artificially set up barriers between the prince and Wang Lin to prevent the prince and Wang Lin from being integrated inside and out.

In fact, Zhao Huan knew it well, but the anger in his heart could not be contained, so he walked away.

Looking at the back of Zhao Huan leaving, Li Gang suddenly said: "Zhang Taiwei, the emperor's mind has always been like this. After this incident, I am afraid that the officials will not trust anyone in the future. However, the prince will still be the prince. I hope he can Keep a straight mind and focus on the overall situation."

Zhang Shuye sighed: "In addition, I'm afraid that the officials will also feel resentment towards the old man. I guess that within two days, the officials will issue an edict to exchange the old man with the seed masters in Hebei."

Wu Min was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "We are loyal to the country, how can we neglect state affairs because of personal honor and disgrace. In fact, it is imperative for Zhang Taiwei to go to Hebei to lead the army. King Yun has many collusions with the frontier army. If he does not change generals, I'm afraid that the officials' hearts will be unstable."

Let's say that Prince Zhao Huan returned to the East Palace angrily.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhu Lian, the Crown Princess, came in and cried and bowed on the ground: "Your Highness, my concubine's father has never done anything rebellious. King Yun's conspiracy has nothing to do with my concubine's family. I beg Your Highness to show mercy. On the face of it, please forgive the Zhu family."

Zhao Huan was in a bad mood at first, but Zhu Lian came to cry again, and immediately became angry: "You still have the face to shout in front of this palace? Is your Zhu family innocent? Your sister Zhu Fengying is Princess Yun, and King Yun and you Zhu The family has a close relationship, how can you make me believe that the Zhu family is innocent?"

"It is already a great grace for me not to punish the nine clans of the Zhu family."

Zhao Huan immediately remembered that Zhao Kai married the Zhu family's daughter as his wife in order to plot against him. He subconsciously believed that the Zhu family was betting on both ends.

"What kind of thing is your father, Zhu Bocai?! A mere Zhu family, what is the intention of marrying the two daughters to Ben Gong and King Yun? How dare you say you don't know?"

Zhao Huan's face turned ferocious, and suddenly he reached out and slapped Zhu Lian hard across the face: "Don't talk about the Zhu family, even if it's you, I won't be able to forgive you... I will play Emperor Father tomorrow and depose your prince." As a concubine, you and your speculative Zhu family will be exiled from Beijing!"

Zhao Huan left with a flick of his sleeves.

Zhu Lian covered her delicate face and burst into tears. She never imagined that the young couple who were originally incomparably in love would end up in such a state of renunciation. He... he actually wanted to abolish himself! ! !

Zhu Lian wept bitterly and fainted in Zhao Huan's bedroom.

……

Prince Yun's Mansion.

The concubine Wang Guifei, who was still charming in her forties, was the biological mother of King Yun, with a sad face, looking helplessly at the children standing in front of her, two lines of tears flowing silently.

Su Wang Zhao Shu was 17 years old, Prime Minister Zhao Wei was 8 years old, and Xu Guogong Zhao Di was 11 years old.

The newly married Emperor Chongde and her concubine Cao Ti.

Concubine Yun Zhu Fengying.

The youngest child of King Yun's side concubine Qiu Zhi and King Yun.

The news got out, and the dust basically settled.

The Forbidden Army has surrounded Prince Yun's Mansion.

At most ten days, they will be deposed and exiled to Qingzhou.

Zhao Shu looked angrily and said: "Mother Concubine, the Crown Prince is going to put us to death. I don't accept it. I want to go to the palace to find my father!"

Concubine Wang Gui suddenly reached out and gave Zhao Shu a slap in the face, and said sharply: "If it wasn't for your father's kindness, you would have become a ghost under the prince's knife. At this moment, do you still want to make trouble? Accept your fate, okay You are going to Qingzhou, your father just sent someone to tell me that he has already told Wang Lin that he will not give you any pain."

"This is fate!!" Concubine Wang was in pain.

Zhao Shu and others also cried and bowed to the ground.

Zhu Fengying suddenly said coldly: "If King Yun didn't seek rebellion, why did today's disaster come about? Are you really innocent? Pity me, the Zhu family, who suffered the disaster for nothing. Who will say a word for my Zhu family?"

Zhu Fengying looked up to the sky and sighed quietly, and suddenly slammed her head into the beams and pillars in the hall, her head was bleeding instantly, and she died on the spot.
