Zhao Lin wanted to seize Chen Qifeng's military power, and he had many ways to do it.
But he and Li Weibai had no grudges against each other, and he needed Li Weibai's help, so there was no need to fight.
The most important thing is that Zhao Lin has a big appetite and he doesn't even care about three thousand soldiers.
…
"Godfather, Zhao Lin's memorial and a secret letter."
Safely deliver Zhao Lin's memorial to Zhu Zhongyan.
Zhu Zhongyan only took one look and frowned: "Zhao Chenhan hates Zhao Lin so much that he even sent people to cause trouble? This is ridiculous!"
Anquan didn't know what was written on the memorial, so he asked, "What did Zhao Lin write?"
"Hmph, Zhao Lin came to complain. The robbery of the flower and stone embassy some time ago was done by people sent by Zhao Chenhan." Zhu Zhongyan said.
"Ah? Zhao Chenhan is so bold?"
Anquan was surprised and said, "He even dared to steal the Flower and Stone Gang. Zhao Jingzhou can't protect him, right?"
Zhu Zhongyan shook his head and said, "Zhao Lin has no evidence."
Anquan asked, "What are you going to do, godfather?"
Zhu Zhongyan opened the secret letter and read it through. He said solemnly, "This Zhao Lin, despite being so young, is so cunning and experienced. We must be on guard."
Anquan was curious about what was in the secret letter, but Zhu Zhongyan didn't give it to him. He said, "We will present this memorial to His Majesty. Even if we can't convict him, we will at least disgust Zhao Jingzhou."
Anquan said: "Zhao Jingzhou relies on the 200,000-man army under his command. If he doesn't give face to Godfather, he should be dealt with."
Zhu Zhongyan presented Zhao Lin's memorial to Emperor Chengping, who was indeed furious after reading it.
"You're asking for your own death! Someone, bring Zhao Chenhan to me."
Zhu Zhongyan quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is absolutely not allowed."
"Um?"
Emperor Chengping glared at Zhu Zhongyan.
Zhu Zhongyan said, "Zhao Lin has no evidence, and he is Marquis Zhao's only son. If we punish him, the 200,000 soldiers under Marquis Zhao will be left in the lurch."
Emperor Chengping was shocked.
"Zhao Jingzhou is loyal to his emperor and patriotic. He wouldn't do something like that, right?"
Zhu Zhongyan advised: "Your Majesty, the human heart is unpredictable, so you can't gamble. Wang Yan's case is a lesson for you."
Wang Yan was a general of the previous dynasty and also the general guarding Zhenbei Pass. Because his son abused his power to bully others and committed many evil deeds, he was punished by the emperor. As a result, Wang Yan immediately rebelled, opened Zhenbei Pass, and led to the invasion of the Northern Di people, causing great suffering to the people. The previous dynasty was destroyed as a result, which benefited Taizu Daqi.
Wang Yan only had 100,000 soldiers under his command.
Zhao Jingzhou has 200,000 men under his command, and they are the 200,000 most capable men in Daqi.
Emperor Chengping's expression changed from gloomy to bright. He said, "I trust Zhao Jingzhou."
Zhu Zhongyan said, "Your Majesty, please look carefully. Zhao Lin is not complaining, but warning. Zhao Chenhan dared to ruin Your Majesty's grand plan of building a garden, so what about Zhao Jingzhou? Moreover..."
Zhu Zhongyan hesitated to speak.
"explain!"
Emperor Chengping said angrily.
Zhu Zhongyan knelt down quickly and said, "This is the emperor's family affair. I dare not say anything more."
"I forgive you and tell me quickly." Emperor Chengping said impatiently.
Zhu Zhongyan said: "Zhao Jingzhou is Prince Yu's father-in-law."
Just this one sentence is enough.
Because Zhao Lin told Zhu Zhongyan in the secret letter that he only needed to say this one sentence.
An old fox like Zhu Zhongyan understood it at a glance.
What is the problem with unification for the emperor?
suspicious!
Although Emperor Chengping trusted Zhao Jingzhou extremely.
The 200,000 troops were given to Zhao Jingzhou.
Never doubt him.
But when Zhu Zhongyan said this.
Emperor Chengping still became suspicious.
There is no other reason. The emperor fears his own son the most, not outsiders.
The emperor wants to live forever, but the prince does not want to be the prince for life.
Twenty years is enough to drive the prince crazy.
Although Emperor Chengping was incompetent, he was aware of the struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.
I understand better their desire for the throne.
So when Zhu Zhongyan said that.
Emperor Chengping immediately assigned Zhao Jingzhou to Prince Yu's camp.
"Prince Yu..."
Emperor Chengping whispered.
Zhu Zhongyan waited quietly.
Too much talk will lead to mistakes.
At this time, all you have to do is wait.
Emperor Chengping will figure it out himself.
really.
After a moment, Emperor Chengping said expressionlessly, "Issue an imperial decree. Hanlin Zhao Chenhan is young and promising. He should be sent out for training. He should go to... Qingzhou."
Zhu Zhongyan quickly asked, "Any position?"
Emperor Chengping said, "Didn't Zhao Lin arrest the former Tongzhi? Let him go."
Zhu Zhongyan said, "As ordered."
When the decree was conveyed to Zhao Chenhan, he was immediately stunned.
What's going on?
I have only been a Hanlin for a few days and am still at the stage of copying documents. How come he suddenly performed so well and was sent out to gain experience at such a young age?
Moreover, the place of exile is Qingzhou.
Go and work for that bastard Zhao Lin?
Zhu Zhongyan said with a pleasant expression, "Zhao Hanlin, no, Zhao Tongzhi, please accept the order."
Zhao Chenhan suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, I accept your order. Long live your majesty."
Zhu Zhongyan handed the imperial edict to Zhao Chenhan and said, "As you know, something happened in Qingzhou that delayed the collection of the Flower and Stone Gang. His Majesty is furious, so he sent you there. Do not let His Majesty down."
Zhao Chenhan finally understood and said, "Please tell His Majesty that I will do my utmost to ensure the success of the Flower and Stone Gang project."
Zhao Chenhan cleverly slipped a silver note to Zhu Zhongyan.
"Well, Your Majesty is right about you. A tiger father will have a dog son."
Zhu Zhongyan happily put away the banknotes and whispered, "His Majesty is very dissatisfied with Zhao Lin. Well done, the prefecture is yours. You will have sufficient experience when you return to the capital in the future."
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, eunuch."
After returning to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion from the palace, Zhao Chenhan excitedly told Han Yuehua and others: "I am going to Qingzhou to take up a post."
Seeing that the emperor actually sent Zhao Chenhan to Qingzhou, Han Yuehua was shocked: "There are so many places he can go, why should he go to serve that rebellious son?"
Zhao Chenhan comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. This is His Majesty's trust."
He explained the situation and said, "My elder brother did not do the job properly. His Majesty was furious, so he sent me."
Han Yuehua became happy: "Do it well and show that rebellious son what it means to be raised in a noble family."
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely assist big brother and get the job done."
Zhao Chenhan said: "Big brother, you have done a good job. It is also an honor for our Marquis Mansion."
"Humph, if only this rebellious son were half as sensible as you."
Han Yuehua called all her daughters to come and practice with Zhao Chenhan.
Zhao Mingzhu was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, is this arrangement really that simple? Is there no other intention?"
Zhao Chenhan smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhu explained that he sent me there because my elder brother didn't do well."
Zhao Mingzhu was still puzzled. "Although His Majesty did issue an edict reprimanding Zhao Lin, that doesn't mean he has lost His Majesty's favor. Furthermore, Zhu Zhongyan is the man behind Zhao Lin, so how could he not speak up for him?"
Han Yuehua frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Mingzhu said, "I suspect this matter is not that simple."
