Chapter 596 Candidates for Governor of Jingzhao

The disputes in the court, about the old and new party disputes, about Zhang Shiru's mother-killing case, about Yu Zhongchao's corruption and deceiving the world and stealing names, the dust has settled, and it has come to a successful conclusion.

And the emperor became the biggest beneficiary of this political turmoil that lasted for half a year.

The imperial power lies in the power of the prime minister, winning the game with the collective participation of the court scholars and bureaucrats in discussing and discussing the political power.

Since then, Wang Lin has been in charge of the universe alone, and Gan Gang is arbitrary.

But new problems were placed on the emperor's desk.

How does Dayan express his position on the massacre of [-] Han people by the Kingdom of Jin?

As I said before, it is not in the national interest of Dayan to easily provoke a national war.

But ignoring it will damage Dayan's national prestige and military prestige, and at the same time, it will be difficult to appease the turmoil in the country.

Therefore, in the first few days after Yu Zhongchao was punished by Ming Zhengdian and Chen Zixuan committed suicide by taking poison and quit the court, the court was quiet for a few days, and then began a turbulent performance, asking the emperor to respond to the Yongzhou massacre as soon as possible.

Royal study.

The emperor was in the middle, five people including Li Gang, and six ministers including Zhang Jun sat on both sides.

Also participating in this military meeting that concerns the dignity of the country are the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department in Beijing, Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong.

Wang Lin said slowly: "My dear friends, how should we punish the massacre of Han people in Yongzhou? The imperial court is full of discussions. If there is no response, I am worried that there will be trouble."

Li Gang pondered and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has discussed with the cabinet members for a long time, and we think that the war between Dayan and the Kingdom of Jin has not long since ceased, and the national strength is recuperating, so it is not appropriate to start the war easily.

But the failure to start the war does not mean that the court ignored the massacre of Han people in Yongzhou.

How about sending a mission to enter the gold, severely instructing the court of the Kingdom of Jin to give Dayan an explanation, adopting a strategy of mediation in foreign affairs, asking the Kingdom of Jin to hand over the culprit, and at the same time sending officials from the Ministry of Rites out of Gubeikou to sacrifice to the souls of [-] Han people. "

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

After Li Gang finished speaking, the four of Zong Ze echoed.

Wang Lin chuckled.

The attitude of Li Gang and five people is actually a routine.

It is a diplomatic rhetoric to sternly protest and blame the culprit.

However, the two sides have fought a few rounds of verbal wars, and on the surface, they can also give an explanation to the people.

Wang Lin looked at Zhang Jun and the other six.

Zhang Jun said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that Jin Guo committed such a horrible thing. I am afraid that some people in the Jin Kingdom want to initiate a national war between the two countries. The court must not be fooled. But as Li Xiang said, if the court ignores this, Then there is a loss of statehood.

I feel that in addition to sending envoys to the Kingdom of Jin and seriously ordering the Kingdom of Jin to hand over the murderer, you can also mobilize tens of thousands of Mongolian and Khitan remaining tribes and our army to deploy outside Gubeikou, making it possible for our army to attack the Kingdom of Jin at any time. The posture can also guard against the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin. "

Ma Kuo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a delegation to the Kingdom of Jin to mediate with the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin!"

Going to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy at this time, the risk factor is still very high.

Ma Kuoneng took the initiative to invite Ying, Wang Lin nodded inwardly, and said slowly: "No matter how my court of Great Yan reacts, it is necessary to send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin. The cabinet drafted my letter of credence to the Kingdom of Jin, and canonized Ma Kuo as my concubine." The imperial envoy will lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to the Kingdom of Jin."

Ma expanded his body to receive the order.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "But just verbal condemnation and pursuit of the murderer are not very effective. Jin people are like tigers and wolves, they still have to rely on fists.

What I mean is that, on the one hand, we dispatched 5 troops from the Mongolian Qiyan, Borjijin, Tatar and Khitan tribes, led by Xiao Wan, to enter the north of Gubeikou, and Han Shizhong led our [-] elite troops out At Juyongguan, an army of one hundred thousand is ready to guard against unexpected events.

Tell Xiao Wan and Han Shizhong that the louder the movement, the better.

more importantly--"

Wang Lin suddenly looked at Yan Qing.

"Xiao Yi, I wish you to ride [-] men in brocade clothes and irons, go out of the frontier fortress, and attack Bei'an Prefecture by surprise.

A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, build a Beijing temple for me in Bei'an Prefecture, as a warning to others!"

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was shocked.

The emperor still wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin.

If 3 Jinyi cavalry slaughter Bei'an Prefecture, it will definitely lead to a national war between the two countries.

Huang Qishan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this move is tantamount to declaring war on the Kingdom of Jin. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Wang Lin smiled lightly: "You are worrying too much. I expected that Wu Qimai would not declare war with me. Even if we want to fight, then we will fight! I want everyone in the world to know that I, the Great Swallow, cannot be insulted lightly, my Great Swallow People should not commit light offenses! Otherwise, if barbarians from all over the world follow suit, what will be the safety of our overseas Chinese and merchants in Dayan?

But I am not a golden man.My Dayan is not a barbarian court like the Jinren.Xiao Yi, I allow you to kill Jin soldiers, but I forbid you to kill Jin people.It would be best if we could follow the example of the Jin people and expel the Jin people's cattle, sheep, livestock and people to our Great Yan and serve as slaves. "

Yan Qing took a deep breath: "The minister leads the decree!"

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zong Ze and Yue Fei, and said, "Order Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi to pretend to attack Luanhe River and support Yan Qing's advance. At the same time, tighten the inside and loose the outside. If the Jin people really dare to fight with me, I will fight against you in one place." Within a month, gather hundreds of thousands of troops and follow my Northern Expedition to destroy gold!"

Wang Lin's words were generous and powerful.

Seeing the emperor's determination and attitude, the ministers dared not persuade him any more.

……

The ministers left the palace.

In fact, these ministers are busy with state affairs.

There are endless things to do every day.

For example, Zhang Jun also temporarily served as the Governor of Jingzhao.

That is, the top leader of Yanjing Capital.

This is a very critical and important position.

Although it is only a third-rank position, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Now that Zhang Jun is a reserve minister of the cabinet and in charge of the Ministry of Officials, he no longer has the time and energy to manage the affairs of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Therefore, the cabinet is considering candidates for Jingzhao Fuyin.

The cabinet favored Sun Zhiliang, one of the original six ministers.

But Wang Lin also thought of someone recently.

Li Qingzhao's younger brother Li Hui.

Li Hui has been working in the local area for a long time. He has served as the magistrate of Qingzhou and the prefect of Jinan, with outstanding performance.

The only shortcoming is that his qualifications are shallow.

Wang Lin originally wanted to release Li Nai to serve in Yunnan Province.

Later, on second thought, the Jingzhao Mansion was more important, it was related to the safety of the emperor and the capital, and Wang Lin was not at ease not letting go of a person who was loyal to him.

Wang Lin wanted to use Li Hui, but obviously, this would definitely arouse criticism from the court, so he appointed his relatives.

Fortunately, the current emperor has all the power, and the authority to appoint officials above the third rank is firmly in his hands, and no one dares to stand up and make irresponsible remarks.

Wang Lin then issued a decree to mobilize Xixia Prime Minister Zheng Yuanshui to be the Governor of Yunnan Province and concurrently serve as the comfort envoy of Dayan Southwest.

This caused quite a shock in the court.

This is the first foreigner to occupy the position of a local high official since the emperor promoted foreigners to enter the court as officials.

Immediately afterwards, Namin was canonized as Governor of Fujian Province, and Sun Zhiliang was appointed Governor of Sichuan Province.

Although the two left the positions of the six ministers and the center of the imperial court, they also became local officials, and their official ranks were from the second rank, at least not on the rank.

The two expressed their thanks.

Knowing that this is the emperor still read it in the face of Li Gang and other cabinet ministers, and gave some kind of explanation to the two of them.

Now that Sun Zhiliang was transferred to another place, the candidates for the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion quickly became a hot topic.

But many people did not expect that the emperor would use Li Zhu.

……

Li Qingzhao Palace.

Li Qingzhao has been living with Zhu Shuzhen for so long, and the two women stay together in the harem and are rarely separated.

The two women sang poetry and prose together, but they also complemented each other.

Li Hui returned to Beijing to report on his work, and went to the palace to meet Li Qingzhao.

Wang Lin's harem is not as serious as in the former Song Dynasty. The palace is strictly controlled, allowing relatives of the concubine to visit the palace. This is the greatest benefit and care Wang Lin can give to his women.

Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen hosted a banquet in honor of Li Hui. Now Li Hui is in his thirties with a stable personality.

Li Hui was actually a little uneasy in his heart.

He had just been in office for a year in Jinan Prefecture, and many things had just been pushed aside. Unexpectedly, at this time, Jin Yiwei suddenly conveyed the emperor's secret decree, asking him to go to Beijing to report on his duties immediately.

According to common sense, this is a sign that the emperor wants to give a heavy responsibility.

But Li Hui didn't want to be a Beijing official.

In his view, local governance can better realize his ambitions.

And as a relative, he felt that it was better to avoid the turmoil and intrigues in the court.

It's his way of protecting himself.

"Your Majesty, I'm returning to Beijing this time, I don't know Your Majesty..." After all, Li Wei still wanted to get news from his sister.

Li Qingzhao was quite surprised: "Li Nai, didn't you return to Beijing to report on your duties normally? Your Majesty asked you to come back?"

Li Hui nodded: "That's right. I don't know what to do, so I want to ask your majesty if your majesty has other arrangements for my younger brother."

Li Qingzhao fell silent.

She didn't have much political acumen, and she didn't know why the emperor suddenly recruited Li Hui back to Beijing.

Zhu Shuzhen was extremely intelligent. She drew inferences from one instance to another, and immediately remembered the dispute over the candidate for Jingzhao's prefect in the court, and couldn't help laughing: "I would like to congratulate Mr. Li. Your Majesty summoned you back to Beijing. It must be because of another appointment. Are you afraid?" It's about to be promoted."

Li Hui sighed: "Returning to your mother, in fact, my younger brother doesn't want to be an official in the capital... Besides, with my younger brother's qualifications, being able to serve as a governor of the local government is already regarded as your majesty's kindness, how dare you expect anything else?"

Before the words were finished, Wang Lin suddenly strode in.

"Li Hui, why don't you want to be an official in the capital? Tell me what you think." Wang Lin waved his hand, stopping Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen from paying respects, and also stopping Li Hui.

Li Hui's face turned red and he said: "Your Majesty, I... I have low qualifications and are relatives. There are already criticisms in the court. If I enter the court as an official, I am worried that I will be very annoying and cause trouble for Your Majesty."

"There must be troubles. But now I have no one available, and it is the time when I am short of people. After thinking about it, I will let you come to the top." Wang Lin pondered for a moment: "You will be the governor of Jingzhao Mansion. I feel at ease."

Such an important position as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Hui never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to take such a key position.

His face turned red, and he murmured for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

On the contrary, Li Qingzhao took the initiative to help him resign and said: "Your Majesty, this younger brother, my concubine, is still young, has little qualifications, and has no outstanding talents. Jingzhao Mansion is such a critical yamen, and you should not pay lightly. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

For Li Qingzhao, if her younger brother can be an official and live a safe and happy life, she is worthy of her parents.

There are so many official positions in this world, why do you want to get involved in such sensitive and important positions.
