Chapter 345 The Bigwigs in Beijing 1

In the summer of 22 years of Annan, there was a great drought in the north, almost no grain, seeing this, Su Jianyu, the emperor of Su, issued an amnesty to the world, and at the same time allocated grain from Beijing to support the north, but the treasury was insufficient and the grain was not decentralized, at this time, the prefect of Songcheng played a book, saying that the former Songcheng prefect official Chunge had accurately predicted the drought when he was in office, and collected the grain in the warehouse as soon as possible, so the grain of Songcheng could solve the drought in January in the north, and provided the imperial court with a month to collect grain for disaster relief.

As soon as this incident came out, the hot topic of discussion among many people returned to the young man in the prison, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for such an unknown prophet. Many people in the north prayed for Chunge when they got food, in order to repay this southerner who had made great contributions to the north. This Chunge can be said to be a person who is not in the rivers and lakes, but there has always been a legend of him in the rivers and lakes.

"Godfather, this official Chunge is really amazing, everyone is in prison, and he has to make waves." Zhao Xian has heard the voices of the people praising Guan Chunge more than ten times just by passing through the market in the past few days, and recently, many northern officials have tactfully asked Su Jianyu to release Chunge, which is enough to make him angry.

"This is the genius of others, he doesn't fight for anything, but no one can take it away from him." Lin Xiang didn't expect Chun Ge to see through the sentence in "Lao Tzu" at a young age: If the husband does not fight, he will not go, it is because he does not deliberately show off his merits, and those merits will be remembered, and he really learned Guan Peng's set all over again.

"No matter how clever you are, it's not that you are staying in the prison, the emperor gave amnesty to the world some time ago. Didn't he not be included? The corners of Zhao Xian's disgusted mouth were as if Chun Ge was a virus, he and Chun Ge have been on the same page over the years, reaching a point where there is no self, and the reason is Chun Ge's rapid rise and immeasurable potential.

Zhao Xian is a jinshi in the Annan period, he is not the champion, so his is much lower than Chunge, of course, even if he is the champion, he will not be higher than Chunge. Zhao Xian is the same as all non-top candidates. The same hatred of those champions, because as a champion, there will always be many opportunities to emerge, which can be called the representative of this section. Zhao Xian's champion obviously had such an innate advantage, and it could be said that he was in the limelight at that time, but Zhao Xian was gradually buried in the crowd. Be a little talker, and occasionally jump out and say a few insignificant words. He is unwilling, he is also frivolous when he is young, he thinks he is full of economic and talented, but he can only watch others soar behind their butts.

Just when Zhao Xian's career was at a low point, a turning point appeared. At that time, Lin Xiang was not a minister, he was a secretary like Lu Qingshi, and he needed someone to be the last straw that crushed the prime minister at that time. Zhao Xian learned the news by chance. He did not hesitate to take refuge in Lin Xiang, drafted a recourse for Lin Xiang, and became a fierce general under Lin Xiang, and then Zhao Xian even flattered Lin Xiang's wife. After only three years, he was accepted by Lin Xiang as a righteous son.

In those three years, Zhao Xian jumped from a little-known six-rank official to a fourth-grade Hanlin, and then appeared in the sight of the government and the opposition. This speed can be said to be five or six years faster than that of normal officials, but compared to Chunge, it is definitely a world of difference, Chunge uses Wupin as a pedal. Before becoming the champion, he was already a party patrol who was quite popular with the people, and what was even more fortunate was that Chun Ge was promoted to the prefect in the second year after he became a fellow governor, this speed is tantamount to taking a rocket, how can Zhao Xian not regard Chun Ge as a thorn in the flesh.

Moreover, Chunge's father, Guan Peng, was the main reason for the decline of Zhao Xian's family, and the new hatred and old hatred were superimposed, so it was no wonder that Zhao Xian wanted to put Chunge to death. As for Zhao Xian's methods of assassinating Chunge over the years, it can be called an endless stream, but everything went bankrupt without Chunge knowing, and it wasn't just who helped Chunge in secret.

"Look at you as a clever person on weekdays, don't be carried away by jealousy." Lin Xiang is rare to receive a righteous son, and the promotion over the years has not been broken, and Zhao Xian has also become a general under Lin Xiang. Among the many officials who were willing to work for Lin Xiang, Lin Xiang was the only one who appointed Zhao Xian, a six-grade petty official, not at will, and what Zhao Xian had done in the court over the years made him feel very pleased, of course, this had to remove Zhao Xian's ineffective little stumbling blocks to Chunge's envoys.

"Got it, godfather." Zhao Xian pursed his lips and said in a low voice.

"Go back early, don't run to me these days, the emperor is worried, you should take the opportunity to share your worries." Lin Xiang stuffed a large amount of silver ticket to Zhao Xian without a trace, Lin Xiang's family property can be said to be countless, but it is all stored in a hidden place, that place is only known to Lin Xiang, Lin Xun, and Zhao Xian, so it can be seen that Zhao Xian's status in Lin Xiang's heart.

"Yes" Zhao Xian put away the silver ticket and retreated lightly.

Looking at the back of Zhao Xian leaving, Lin Xiang picked up the tea next to him and squinted his eyes, as if recalling the brilliant but bleak life when he was young.

If you want to talk about Lin Xiang's young career, it is a twist and turn, Lin Xiang's father is also Xiangguo, so Lin Xiang has been the son of a high-ranking official since he was a child. When he was a child, Lin Xiang's demeanor was not weaker than that of the current Lin Xun, but few people remember it, and there is only one reason, that is, Guan Peng. At that time, Lin Xiang and Guan Peng were known as Nanguan and Beilin, but Nanguan's reputation was much higher than Lin Xiangliang, so that Lin Xiang's reputation in the capital was also overshadowed. Lin Xiang, who was arrogant when he was a child, was determined to trample Guan Peng under his feet to calm his resentment.

Lin Xiang studied hard for ten years, in order to beat Guan Peng in the imperial examination, Lin Xiang at that time passed all the way and took four yuan, but Guan Peng did not go all the way because of his mistakes, just when Lin Xiang thought that even five yuan was at his fingertips, Guan Peng was appointed by Taizong at that time as Huiyuan, and Lin Xiang was so angry that he called a tooth itching. He originally wanted to try to win back a city in the palace later, but Guan Peng approached the champion with all his might, Lin Xiang's scientific research road for many years, and the dream of the first six songs in ancient and modern times, was ruthlessly broken by Guan Peng. The career that began later was also shrouded in the shadow of Guan Peng, and the people of the world only saw Guan Peng walking smoothly in front of him, but ignored Lin Xiang who was chasing behind him. Although Lin Xiang was not satisfied with his situation, he also admired Guan Peng's personality, and I have to say that Lin Xiang at that time was also a gentleman with a pure heart.

Lin Xiang is still in front of his seven-rank petty official step by step, but Lin Xiang is upright by nature, although he has the prime minister's father, he disdains to rely on the power of his family, once Lin Xiang's top boss proposed to reduce the scale of Confucius's sacrifice, who knew that the first but right person was Lin Xiang, the man was furious on the spot and scolded: You want to betray me. I saw Lin Xiang replied indifferently: Betrayal is born from attachment, I have never attached myself to you, so how can I say betrayal. These words made the official half angry, and it was Lin Xiang's father who came forward to suppress this matter, but Lin Xiang also offended many officials because of this matter.

But it was also because of this incident that Lin Xiang and Guan Peng came together, and the two untied the estrangement of their childhood, became confidants and old friends, and once became friends of Bao Guan praised by the DPRK and China. It's a pity that the good times don't last long, in the sixth year of Lin Xiang's politics, the Lin family has undergone great changes, Lin Xiang's father died of a crime, the reason has become a palace secret, and only Lin Xiang and a few other young generations of the huge Lin family survived. Since then, Lin Xiang has begun to change. Lin Xiang's promotion to the top of the line began at that time, and unconsciously the two of them, who had a very good relationship, began to have disagreements, and unconsciously Lin Xiang later came up to the top and ranked the same as Guan Peng, and was in an important position in the court. However, a trip of Taizong was the fuse that completely broke the relationship between Lin Xiang and Guan Peng.

That year, the treasury was empty, but Taizong insisted on traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, and the official Peng of the Ministry of Rites told Taizong that this move would cost the people and money, and he could not do it. However, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee did not dare to speak, and even Lin Xiang, who was usually in collusion with Guan Peng, turned against each other in order to curry favor with Taizong. Guan Peng was furious, and it was convenient for Lin to break off his friendship on the spot, and the relationship between the two could be said to have fallen to the freezing point. After that, all the official Peng played by Lin Xiang repelled each other, and all the official Peng's invitations were also rejected by Lin Xiang, and it can be said that the relationship between the two has intensified year after year.

At the time of the 23rd year of the great drought in Taizong, Guan Peng risked his death to play, but it became a symbol of Lin Xiangdou's defeat of Guan Peng. And what really made Lin Xiang go to the house of one person and ten thousand people was the Annan period after the current emperor of Su ascended the throne.

In the early years of Annan, not only the mountain bandits in the south loved to toss, but the imperial court in Beijing was not much inferior. The former prime minister's surname was Xia, and he was called Xia Xiang. This Xia Xiang has to get it, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he ascended to the position of prime minister in one fell swoop after Lin Xiang's father retired, and he has been in office for more than ten years. This person is good at everything, but he can't see the younger generations, and the former official Peng Lin Xiang is his confidant. He even took the initiative to attack Lin Xiang after his status was threatened.

What kind of person is Lin Xiang, in the face of Guan Peng, who has a lot of friendship, he can step on it fiercely, let alone this Xia Xiang who wants to play him to death. But he knew that Xia Xiang's power in the court was not trivial, and if he touched it hard, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so he chose to forbear. He worshiped under Xia Xiang's door, won Xia Xiang's favor, and then waited for an opportunity to lurk. Finally found an excellent opportunity two years later, he asked Zhao Xian to denounce Xia Xiang, and sure enough, Su Jianyu was furious and immediately dismissed Xia Xiang's official position. And Lin Xiang personally went to Xia Mansion to comfort Xia Xiang, and said that he would intercede for him, and when he returned to Lin Mansion, Lin Xiang also said this to his relatives and friends, which made poor Xia Xiang believe in Lin Xiang's loyalty.

In fact, Lin Xiang did this because he saw that the emperor still had attachment to Xia Xiang, and the emperor was a nostalgic person, Xia Xiang's minions were still moving around, and the time was not yet ripe. Later, Su Jianyu really regretted it and wanted to recall Xia Xiang again, but under the persuasion of Lin Xiang, he dispelled this idea. And Lin Xiang has also sat firmly in the position of Xiangguo for 20 years, and he is still in a high position, and he is one of the veritable bigwigs in Beijing.
