The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

"I, Han Wu, swear, I really didn't"

"get out."

Watching them go out, Yang Lin couldn't help but smile: "This guy can fight, he can fight, there are too many problems."

The few generals I promoted each have their own shortcomings, and it is really Zong Ze who is better on the stage.

The little Taiwei Yao Pingzhong drinks and fights and likes to ask for immortals, and Han Wuhan Shizhong has a naughty personality, bad gambling and likes to visit brothels; Timely Rain Song Jiang likes to pull people to worship him when he is fine, the world has too many habits

Speaking of which, they were born as Scholars, and these Confucian generals with a bit of fame can rest easy. Whether it is Zong Ze or Zhang Shuye, they are all talented in fighting wars and governing the people.

Yang Lin smiled and said in the hall, Yin Muhong immediately said: "No one is perfect, when the country employs people, it is often these people who can make achievements."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrible thought suddenly rose in his heart. Shaozai has been fighting here and there all these years, and his confidantes are all over the country and border.

In the east, there is a naval commander controlling the coast; in the west, Song Jiang leads various ethnic groups, and his troops are strong in the Western Regions;

Yin Muhong's mind was far more complicated than that of ordinary people. He tried calmly and said: "The generals here are all promoted by the young ministers. As expected, they are all generals. I admire this vision."

Yang Lin smiled reservedly, and said, "I also have a little knowledge of people. The reason why I can appoint people on their merits is the most important point. You don't know, and you don't understand."

Yin Muhong watched intently, without any change in expression, not even a slight panic, which showed that Shaozai had no other thoughts in his mind, Yin Muhong's eyelids drooped, knowing what was in his mind.

When doing things with someone, you must understand his purpose, otherwise it will be difficult to speak to his heart when making suggestions. This is the way of a counselor.It is very difficult for a counselor who wants to follow his own plan in everything and drags his lord away.Only when deciding between life and death, is it necessary to desperately persuade.

After driving Han Shizhong back to Youyan, Yang Lin was in a good mood, just at this moment, Lu Wang walked in.

He looked around and found Shaozai's confidants, so he lowered his voice and said, "Young Zai, someone is secretly investigating Shaozai's alchemy."

Yang Lin was startled, this matter is not trivial, Yin Muhong has already asked: "Have you ever found out who made the move?"

This is particularly critical. If the emperor sends someone to secretly investigate, it is impossible to fight back.This is what Yang Lin was most afraid of, and the two of them stared at Lu Wang together, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that the person who came here was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyway, he has something to do with Liang Shicheng. As for whether he was appointed by the government, none of us can say for sure. It was the children of the Little Wolf Camp who found out that something was wrong and secretly contacted him. In the past, I only found out about it after checking it back.

They seem to have visited the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang at night, and the scouts from the Little Wolf Camp found a sketch of the alchemy room in their residence. "

Yang Lin's face became more and more gloomy. This Liang Shicheng is still lingering, and he will never end with me.My own elixir is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and the starting point is still good, in order to prevent Zhao Ji from eating mercury indiscriminately, and the situation will be difficult to control if he dies.

After all, today's Great Song Dynasty needs such an emperor very much. The princes are young and ignorant, and they are easily held hostage by others.

Fortunately, he was careful enough not to leave any obvious evidence on the elixir. Even if he tried his best, he wouldn't know that he was made by doctors.

But since Liang Shicheng was spying on him in the dark, he must have done nothing good. He has a lot of tricks, many of which are not visible.

It turned out that it was so uncomfortable to be investigated secretly. No wonder the old man had such a big reaction when he sent someone to investigate Cai Jing's grandson.

The old man who checked the old man smiled, what does it mean to be checked by the old man

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "A eunuch, above all officials, has controlled the government for so many years, and he is not satisfied. I have to work hard outside, and I have to guard against him. I am exhausted. As the saying goes, only a thousand There is no reason to be a thief every day, so there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. This time, find a way to make this old thing never harm people again."

Get rid of Liang Shicheng?Everyone present thought that they had heard it wrong, Liang Shicheng's followers were all over the Great Song Dynasty Hall, and his power was overwhelming.Although not as good as it was in its heyday, it is still far superior to Yang Lin's existence, and even the current Cai Jing dare not just say that he is able to stabilize him.

Yin Muhong coughed lightly, and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term, otherwise, this old thief will jump over the wall in a hurry. I think it's better to start from the yamen under his command, draw out the bottom line, squeeze out the lackeys of the Liangmen step by step, and install our people. In this way, Liang Shicheng is a poisonous snake with its teeth pulled out, and it will be difficult to make trouble."

"To put it bluntly, the power he has accumulated step by step can be replaced by us so easily, and where is Cai Jing waiting to see? I think we have worked hard to get rid of ten of his yamen, and we can get one or two. That’s right, Cai Jing was taken advantage of for no reason. When you shoot a man, you shoot a horse first, and when you capture a thief, you first capture the king. Instead of drawing your salary from the bottom of the pot, it’s better to get rid of this old thief once and for all.”

Yin Muhong could see that Shao Zai was a little flustered now, he had too many tricks, which made him eager to get rid of Liang Shicheng.This is not a good phenomenon. People are prone to make mistakes when they are in a hurry. In the Bianliang officialdom where power is overwhelming, one must be calm and patient enough to be the safest.

Failure is not tolerated here, Wang Fu is so beautiful, once he loses, he will die tragically and no one cares about him on the street.Yin Muhong took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Young Zai, this Liang Shicheng has also reminded us that some things have to be done in a hurry, and it is inevitable that we will be a little careless. It is time to clean up our foundation and Shao Zai is the best." It’s time to leave Beijing, and we will leave the rest to us.”

Yang Lin thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Chapter 4 Thirteen

Gen Yue, in the imperial garden.

"Supervisor?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, frowned and said, "Shouldn't the Yanjing government officials do this trivial matter?"

Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Officials, of course our Long Live Camp knows best what we need to transport the strange stones to Genyue. We are planning to go to Pinggu first to use Tianjin Wei Port to transport some back by sea. Although this move is not as good as chiseling It is convenient to open a canal, but it is also a compromise.”

Zhao Ji was very moved. Most officials were unwilling to leave Bianjing. Yang Aiqing traveled everywhere for Zhenzhen.On such a hot day, I still have to go to sea to transport stones, which is simply loyal.

Yang Lin looked carefully at the emperor's expression, and basically ruled out that he ordered Liang Shicheng to investigate him. Zhao Ji didn't have such high acting skills, and he didn't need to act with him. He could investigate if he wanted to.

Out of the Imperial Garden, Yang Jian followed up calmly, and the two walked to a small pavilion one after the other. Yang Jian asked, "Brother, you have only been back for a few days, why are you going out of Beijing again?"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Someone wants to punish me, go out to avoid the limelight."

Yang Jian glanced around, no one was around, lowered his voice and said: "Our foundation is still too shallow, then Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing have a large number of officials following them, occupying various positions in the court, brother, your confidants are not in the capital, just say no It sounds good, the sky of the Great Song Dynasty is the one above our Bianliang head, and the other places are probably useless."

Development power?This is not difficult for Yang Lin, if he wants to, he can hold many positions in the six parts in his hands.Yang Lin secretly thought, Zhao Ji looks like a Taoist master who is indifferent to the world, but in fact he is a chicken thief. If his power spreads and he has so many cronies outside, it will be no wonder he can feel at ease.

It might as well be the same as now, leaving a few important chess pieces in the court, so that if I fall out outside, there will be no troubles in Bianliang.Because the Song Dynasty is really as Yang Jian said, Bianliang is far more important than all other state capitals combined.

Yang Lin didn't want to go into too much detail with him, some things had to be reserved, and in the struggle among the inner circle, he couldn't fully trust anyone, even Yang Jian, who had been his ally since entering Beijing.He spread his hands helplessly, and said, "I can't help it. We are born to work hard. This trip has exhausted me. My concubine just gave birth to a daughter for me, and I didn't even have time to celebrate." After that, we will leave Beijing."

Yang Jian smiled and echoed, "We'll make up for you when you come back. Do you want to get together before you leave?"

"That's right, I'll call Shang Qingshui and Shi'an, let's go to my house and have a drink together."

---

"Yang Lin is going out of Beijing again?" Liang Shicheng frowned, lowered his eyes and pondered for a while before raising his head: "Do you know why he is going out of Beijing?"

"It is said to go to Youyan to pick out strange stones for the officials." A little servant replied politely with his hands down.

"This little thief just came back from Youyan, so there's no reason why he's in such a hurry to go back. Could it be that something serious happened to Youyan?" Liang Shicheng was puzzled, and rolled his eyes and said, "Go and invite Gao Taiwei and Wang Shangshu, Let’s talk about something important.”

It is very interesting that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty came to Huizong's first dynasty. Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng fought openly and secretly, but his eldest son Cai You was Liang Shicheng's disciple, and he used to be closest to Wang Fu;

Cai Fu Sanlang is Cai Jing's favorite son, but he is Yang Lin's disciple, and he lives in Yang Lin's Zhaode Square all day long;

Gao Qiu is the confidant of Liang Shicheng's confidant, but his son is the mainstay of Yang Lin's faction, and is one of the most respected people by Yang Lin;

Qin Hui is Yang Lin's best friend and Cai Jing's cousin-in-law. His forgotten wife is also Tong Guan's goddaughter.

These three factions are fighting each other, but they are inextricably linked, which also shows that no matter which of the three factions they are, they all have the capacity to accommodate others.In the past party struggles, if you got involved with a hostile camp, you would be squeezed out and suppressed.

Both Sima Guang and Wang Anshi have this problem, but Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Lin are far superior to the previous party leaders in this regard.

Some time ago, Gao Qiu was a bit eager for money, and sent his servants to push a few carts of gold and silver into the fund-raising of Xiulou Kaihe, which became the talk of the people of Bianliang after dinner.

Hearing Liang Shicheng call himself, I felt a little flustered, and after getting off the carriage, a familiar voice came: "Gao Taiwei, could it be that you are also called by the Mansion of En?"

Seeing that Wang Ning was still there, Gao Qiu immediately stopped being nervous, and said with a smile, "Does Wang Shangshu know that the En Mansion called me to the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time, why?"

Wang Ning spread his hands and said: "I am also confused, I will know when I go in."
