Chapter five hundred and seventy-two: the emperor is angry
Chapter 572: The Emperor is angry
After hearing what Lu Lin said, Zhao Heng smiled even stronger, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, and suddenly fell on Lu Lin: "Mr. Lu means that as long as the prince comes forward and supports the envoys in the foreign countries, the envoys will definitely make a fuss?"
Lu Lin said with confidence: "This is for sure. Fanbians had been attacked by illegal maritime merchants before, and now they are going to cede land again, so they must have a grudge in their hearts."
Zhao Heng smiled softly, his eyes flashed quickly. At this critical moment, whoever stands up to target Chen Ao can gain a reputation and get the support of many ministers. The prince has no party, and even if he has a party, he is just a few confidants. Now that Chen Ao is in power, Zhao Heng has realized that if he doesn't take any action, it will be useless to say anything later.
Zhao Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Who else in the court is willing to stand up?"
Lu Lin said: "There are many people on the six tribes and nine ministers, but no one leads, or there is no leader. The Grand Master is now leaving nothing, but many people are complaining in their hearts. This year, the Grand Master gave in to Chen Ao and made everyone suffer losses. If they continue, what's wrong? There are at least twenty or so people on the side of the Censor, all of whom are disciples and old officials, and their memorials are ready."
This means that as long as the prince is willing to stand up, it will definitely be a sensational situation.
Seeing that Zhao Heng was still hesitating, Lu Lin continued, "Everyone is preparing for this matter. The Chen surnamed Chen returns to the court. When the court discusses, if he can move at the right time and attack together, then Chen Ao is extremely powerful, so what can he do?"
Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of my father's side. When my son is in front of him, I will definitely be punished."
Lu Lin said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. Now the traitors are in trouble with the country, and everyone is punished. Now the emperor is deceived by this thief. The crown prince should stand up. Should he watch the world become a surname Chen?"
Zhao Heng was shocked when he heard this: "Nothing is said."
Lu Lin said seriously: "The officials dare not talk nonsense. Chen Ao is in charge of military power and is also connected with the outside world. There are so many lackeys in the country. How have the national dynasty ever seen such a person? What is the difference between today's affairs and the Anshi Rebellion during the Xuanzong period of the previous dynasty? The prince should make plans early and prepare for the future."
Zhao Heng snorted coldly and said, "He said he is An Lushan. He doesn't have the ability yet, but if this person is not eliminated, the world is in trouble. Look at how many people he killed when he went to Quanzhou? How can I settle with him with such a vicious and vicious way? You should step down first, I have my own idea."
Lu Lin Surong stood up and said, "Your Highness, the emperor needs to prepare, let's take a step first."
After saying that, Lu Lin said goodbye, got back into the sedan chair, and went straight to home.
Lu Lin's mansion covers a considerable area, and the continuous buildings are larger than the mansion of the Minister of Revenue. It has a nine-story courtyard. It has been stepping in and along the way. When the servants and maids saw him, they would whisper to the master and then leave immediately.
Although the house is magnificent, many places are covered with a layer of black gauze and filial cloth. Lu Lin's face turned pale and went straight to the innermost main hall. As soon as he arrived at the door, a chief official said, "The second master has already entered."
Lu Lin just nodded his head and walked straight in. There were dozens of tablets inside. The curtains made of black veil looked a bit solemn, and there were many sacrifices on the altar. At the bottom of the altar was a man in numbness, kneeling there with his head down, pinching his thigh flesh with his hands.
Lu Lin changed into filial piety clothes from the man, respectfully went over to incense the many tablets, and then knelt on the man's head, and a hint of sadness finally appeared in his eyes.
The man next to him looked at him and said angrily: "Brother, why haven't you avenged the revenge of your parents and relatives? Chen Ao killed our Lu family, and until now, he can't even get back the corpse. Let's just let it go?"
Lu Lin closed his eyes, raised his head and deliberately avoided the man's gaze, but said slowly: "The time has not come, I'll wait for you."
The man clenched his hand into a fist and smashed it down on the ground, saying viciously: "When will it take? If Chen Ao is not killed, what are we going to be like? The grudge between parents is irreconcilable! On that day, I saw the captain surrounded our Lu family with his own eyes and raised them one by one. If my father had not asked me to leave first, maybe I would have died. Brother, if it really doesn't work, we would buy the evil...
"Nothing!" Lu Lin shouted: "How many murderers can you buy? There are five hundred lieutenants around him. After entering Bianjing City, there are even more guards. If something goes wrong, it will be a dead end." He hesitated for a moment and continued: "Don't worry, the prince is willing to come forward. To be honest, this trip was envoys from the 18th Route Army and the prince, and hundreds of court officials tried their best. As long as Chen Ao came to Bianjing, the palace would definitely be discussed by the court. When the court discussed, Chen Ao would not be able to take it."
The man said in a daze: "Didn't it mean that the foreigners have already negotiated with Shen Ao? The Quanzhou also said the same thing, and said that envoys from various countries had a great time talking with Chen Ao, how could they work for us?"
Lu Lin sneered: "Do they dare not talk to each other very happily? Chen Ao has a hand covering the sky and holding the power of the world. What benefits can the foreign vassals have to fall in love with him? At this time, as long as someone is willing to stand up and speak for them, they are willing to make trouble and turn against Shen Ao. The prince stands up and is an introduction."
The man was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother is right. I said, Chen Ao bullies them like this, cedes land, garrison, and even indulges maritime merchants to illegally betrayal. How could they still laugh with Shen Ao?"
Lu Lin looked at the dazzling array of tablets on the altar and said word by word: "This is driving a tiger and swallowing the wolf, leveraging the force. Originally, I wanted to encourage Cai Jing to come out, but Cai Jing is an old fox and will never do anything dangerous. He is old and confused. He thought that this would allow him to live his life. Sooner or later, Chen Ao will definitely attack him. The prince has long been dissatisfied with Chen Ao. Since Cai Jing refused to do it, let the prince do it. Whether our Lu family can take revenge depends on the court discussion this time."
In the Lu family's ancestral hall, the atmosphere of mourning suddenly became murderous. The shrill sneer came out, and someone gritted his teeth and said, "The Chen surnamed kills many people in the Lu family. Our Lu family wants him to pay for it. The court's discussion is only the first step. If this step is right, the next step is to impeach him to rebel. Some people on the Censorate are famous and famous. If they encourage them, they will come out one after another. If the palace does not nod at once, there will be a second and third time. As long as the resentment in Bianjing is ignited, it will be his Chen Ao's death."

At night, there is a faint mist on the side of Wansui Mountain. At night, many palace lanterns are dotted on the mountainside. Occasionally, I hear the light breeze and cranes, or the clear sound of the palace servants stroking the strings of the piano. In these layers of mist, looking at the little bits of starlight and lights from afar, it feels like being outside the sky, and I feel floating.
On the side of the mountain is a loft built along the mountain. There is a stream flowing by the attic. There are the most lights here, and the dim lights have an inexplicable tranquility. The attic does not appear luxurious, but there is a kind of ethereal poetry in the book. The extremely well-mounted calligraphy and paintings do not appear abruptly when they are stuck on the wall. The long desks in the room look a little mottled, but if someone underestimates them, they will not know the goods. The wood on the long desk is the best, more expensive than gold. The paints painted on it are even more from famous artists. If someone recognizes the goods, it is not difficult to sell them for a thousand dollars.
Zhao Ji's hand gently placed on the pen holder that looked like a forest, as if he was hesitating, and wanted to catch the pen, but he shook his head again. He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes moved upwards, and landed on a painting on the wall. Then he shook his head again, muttering to himself: "If it doesn't work, it's still not possible, it's always a bad charm." Then he waved his hand and said: "Put the painting away, I'll draw it in two days."
There was an unfinished landscape picture on the table. Yang Jian, who was beside him, carefully pinched the two corners of the drawing paper and moved the drawing paper away, carefully handed it to an eunuch and asked him to put it away.
Zhao Ji sat behind the desk and was stunned, and smiled calmly, "In this Wansui Mountain, I have also seen my mood. I really don't want to touch the vulgar things I used to be busy with."
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Then your Majesty will stay for more days."
Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "With the days, Shen Ao will only arrive in the past few days. I can't do this apartment. Unfortunately, Shen Ao is a person who can't rest as he can, otherwise he would come to Wansui Mountain to accompany me to see the cranes and paint. This is interesting."
Yang Jian pursed his lips and smiled: "Shen Ao is busy outside, so His Majesty has leisure. If he is free, His Majesty will be busy. For example, this time, the envoys came over with great momentum, and the servants thought there would be something big, but Shen Ao didn't use a lot of effort to stop them."
Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did I hear that the envoys were not willing to do so, as if they were threatened by Shen Ao? This is not good. Our Song Dynasty has never had a precedent for bullying others. This time they can make them dare not speak out, but what about next time? They can't always suffer losses and always knock their front teeth down and swallow them in their stomachs."
Yang Jian had only a little understanding of the matter of the mission. He wanted to use this to express his merits to Shen Ao. It turned out that there was still a hidden story behind his back, and he was speechless for a moment, so he had to say embarrassedly: "What your Majesty said is that Shen Ao was making a little nonsense, and he wanted to teach a lesson."
Zhao Ji shook his hand and said, "Forget it, as long as the foreigners are not allowed to be punished, even if it is his credit, I will not be interested in the rest of the matter. I am afraid of trouble." After that, he continued, "I don't know when he will come. After he entered Bianjing, I should go back to the palace. I can't hide here for the rest of my life. There has been more than a month since the court discussed it, so I should meet the court officials."
Yang Jian smiled and said, "It will definitely be very lively at that time."
Zhao Ji stood up, pushed open the small window of the attic, and a night wind blew in. He held his hands and a pair of clear eyes, looking at the darkness and sporadic lights in the distance, and said, "I have also heard a lot of rumors. The clear discussions in the capital are all saying that Shen Ao is not."
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then said, "I have heard of it too."
Zhao Ji smiled coldly and said, "Chen Ao has clarified the sea according to my will. Isn't it mean that they slander me like this? "
