Chapter 343: The Dismissal of the Prime Minister (II)
Although Yang Yingqi has a lot of ears and eyes, what Chen Xian's father and son said in his own house can't reach his ears after all. What's more, Yang Yingqi may not be in the mood to pay attention to these things now.
Since the formation of the Han Department, Yang Yingqi has been sitting in the position of Zaifu, so far for more than 20 years, it can be said that this position is not just a position for him, but has become a part of his life, deep down in his heart there is even a thought that has never surfaced the surface of his thinking, that is, he thinks that unless he resigns, he may stay in the position of Zaifu until the day of old death. Although he had been mentally prepared for being deposed by Zhe Yanchong, Yang Yingqi still felt an unprecedented loss on this day, as if his life had become incomplete, and even his future had become unreliable.
Zhao Ju'er was sad when she saw his lost soul, and she barely cheered up, and said with a smile: "Qilang, isn't it what you have always thought about retiring?" Now is the perfect opportunity to take a break after so many years. β
Yang Yingqi sighed and sighed: "This ...... Alas, I also know what you said, but now the 'work' has not yet been 'completed'. β
Zhao Tanger's said: "It's not unsuccessful, Mobei has been pacified, the Han has stabilized, on martial arts, three uncles, five uncles and six uncles, they don't have to say, that is, which of the dozen or so generals is not in charge?" Thesis, over the years, the old, middle-aged and young people of all walks of life are talented, and you yourself often say that there are at least four or five Han people who are qualified and capable of being prime ministers, and there are at least twenty or thirty people who can be the head of one section and the head of the road, and there are countless ministers of counties and counties who are like carp crossing the river. Such a good situation is not enough, so how can it be calculated? National affairs can never be sorted out, even if the north and south of the country are unified? Maybe it's time to go on an expedition again. The state affairs are endless, and the life is endless, so let it go when it is time to let go. β
After listening to his wife's words, Yang Yingqi was able to let go of his mind a little, and said with a smile: "What you said is good, what you said is good, but I am too addicted." When I didn't retire at the beginning, I also thought about what to do after I retired, but now that I've retired, I can't let go. Never mind! That's fine! The big brother will be annoyed by the major national events, and I will take care of my little life in the future, no matter how many things happen! β
Zhao Ju'er smiled and said, "That's right." β
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone handed in an urgent secret report, Yang Yingqi didn't think about it, took it and looked at it, and exclaimed: "Not good!" Help me put on my shoes! I'm going to the palace to see my eldest brother! β
Zhao Ju'er was also a little surprised, and asked while helping him put on his shoes, "What's wrong?" Is something big going on? β
Yang Yingqi said: "There was a rebellion over there in Western Xia, I don't know how it happened, but it has only been annexed there for a short time, so you have to be careful in everything!" Hey, why did you stop? β
Zhao Tang'er sighed: "What does it have to do with you if something happened to Xixia?" β
Yang Yingqi was stunned for a moment, looked at the left foot that was shoeed, then looked at the right foot that was not shoeed yet, and finally looked at the urgent secret report, and lost the secret report with a sigh, and said with a smile: "I forgot that I am no longer the prime minister." β
In fact, not only he couldn't twist it for a while, but the entire system that had been led by him for 20 years couldn't be twisted either. Yang Yingqi and the Han Dynasty began to become invincible, and in the process he devoted himself almost wholeheartedly to the construction and development of this regime, and his personal life became an episode. Especially in the days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to deal with the strong enemies inside and outside the country, Yang Yingqi had to use not only the power of the public and the sun, but also the power of the private and the dark, and it was difficult to make a clear distinction between public and private black and white -- this phenomenon existed in almost all the founding actions of the country in ancient and modern China and abroad. The combination between the position of Zai Fu and Yang Yingqi has almost reached the point of inseparability today, so although Zhi Yanchong dismissed Yang Yingqi as prime minister, some of the secret reporting system still inertly transmitted the news to him.
At that moment, Yang Yingqi sealed the secret report, and wrote more than a dozen letters, informing those old ministries to directly transfer the news to the new Zaizhi in the future, but there are still some organizations and individuals with subtle status, unfair and private, and both public and private Yang Yingqi does not know how to deal with it for a while.
He was busy for a whole day, before he could think of it and deal with the things that he could hand over, Zhao Juer brought a bowl of ginseng tea to relieve his fatigue, Yang Yingqi drank half a bowl, took his wife out of the room for a walk, and suddenly found some eye-catching boxes piled up in the corner of the house, so he asked Zhao Juer what it was, Zhao Juer said: "This is something to clean up." β
"Pack up? Why do you have to clean up? β
"We're moving, of course we have to pack up."
"Moving? Yes! Oh, how did I forget. β
The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Han Dynasty is divided into two parts, the front is the office and the back is the home garden. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he can live in the Prime Minister's Mansion during his tenure, but he has to move out after leaving office, which is a rule that Yang Yingqi participated in formulating, but at this time, he had to be reminded by Zhao Cheng'er to remember.
Zhao Tang'er said: "Although no one has come to urge, but since you have left your post, it is only in accordance with the rules that we should move out." Anyway, we still have a villa in the capital, and we can live there when we move there, and we are not afraid of not having a place to stay. β
Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "Yes, yes." But after walking a few steps, looking at the boxes in the corner, I suddenly felt irritated, and stopped walking, and went back to the house in a daze.
When Zhao Ju'er saw him like this, she knew that her husband was still difficult to let go, but she didn't say anything, just continued to ask the servants to count and pack, while politely refusing all visitors. However, on the second day, there was a guest that Zhao Tanger's hard to refuse, and that was Ouyang Shi.
Zhao Cheng'er saw that he was coming, and hurriedly sent someone to invite him to the study, in the study, Yang Yingqi was playing chess with Lin Yu to relieve his boredom, Ouyang Shi smiled and said: "Old Seven, so Yaxing." β
Yang Yingqi sneered and said: "What is Yaxing or not Yaxing, I am now unofficial and light!" What else can you do but play chess! β
Ouyang Shi was a little embarrassed by what he said, Lin Yu got up early and saluted him, and said, "I'll go get some refreshments for the fourth uncle." "Actually, where do you need him for refreshments? It's just an excuse to go out so that Ouyang Shi and Yang Yingqi can talk, and when he goes out, he turns around and says, "Fourth uncle!" Don't move this board! It's easy for me to gain the upper hand once, don't spoil my situation! After saying that, he left.
Ouyang Shi said with a smile: "Old Seven, you are mediocre in Go, but you are good at chess, and you can't play your son today, it's really rare!" β
Yang Yingqi said: "I'm in a bad mood, so I can't get off him." β
Ouyang Shi sighed, restrained his smile, sat down and asked, "You...... Complain about the boss? β
"How? What if you don't complain? Yang Yingqi said: "Actually, I also knew that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." β
Ouyang Shi said helplessly: "Alas, it's a pity, I can't help you." β
Yang Yingqi glared at him and said, "Fourth brother, don't pretend to me!" Now you alone in the world can help me! Hum! If the eldest brother wants to dismiss my appearance, no one can say anything, but you have the right to refute it! β
Ouyang Shi seemed to have been caught by Yang Yingqi and turned his head and said, "This ...... This one...... If you ask me to refute it, don't you want me to go against the boss directly? If I refute it, it will be tantamount to teaming up with you to fight against the boss - how can it be done! Now that there is something going on in the south, and there is a rebellion in Western Xia, we have to unite and not mess up. β
He said a lot of nonsense, and when he stopped, Yang Yingqi sneered: "I'm not saying that you should help me, nor that you shouldn't refute it, it's just that you obviously don't want to do it, so why come to me and pretend to be helpless?" β
Ouyang Shi couldn't laugh when he was stabbed by Yang Yingqi so single-handedly, he couldn't sit still, he still didn't dare to turn his head to face Yang Yingqi's eyes, waved his hand and said: "Old Seven, I'm sorry for you this time, and I have nothing to say." I'm here today to ask if there's anything I can do to help? β
Yang Yingqi sneered: "What are you?" Do you want to make up for me? β
Ouyang Shi is a person with a flexible tongue, but at this time, Yang Yingqi said a little wooden, and said, "Sort of." β
Yang Yingqi pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, the eldest brother dismissed me this time, not for personal grudges. There is nothing to say about the major affairs of the country, and the prime minister has different opinions, either I persuade him to change his opinion, or he changes the prime minister, which is nothing to say. Seeing that the eldest brother's meaning is so resolute, even if you refute it, he will most likely have to quit the second time, and if you refute it the second time, he will probably have to quit the third time, and if you refute it to the end, he will most likely convene a Yuan National Standing Committee to discuss this matter - then there will be a political tide, and I don't want to see the country make a mess like that, so even if you refute me, I will probably have to resign myself. β
Ouyang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then don't you blame me?" β
Yang Yingqi said: "Is it useful to blame you?" β
Ouyang Shi smiled bitterly: "Old Seven, don't play with me, why can you be very accommodating for a while, and full of resentment for a while, what do you want?" β
"Not much." Yang Yingqi sighed: "I think I've figured out these things, but I can't accept them emotionally for a while, so it'll be fine in a few days." Speaking of this, he snorted and said, "You all kicked me out, can't I complain a few words in private?" β
"It's done!" Ouyang Shi said: "In this way, I will give you a five-masted sea ship and let you go to sea to relax, how about it?" Or I will transfer to you the two sweaty and bloody horses that Liunuer gave me a few days ago, and let you take Lin Yu or the princess around to see the splendid rivers and mountains that our brothers have beaten down. Well? Still not satisfied? Seventh, you are so greedy, just give you the boat and the horse, what else do you want, tell me, my brother must find a way to do it! β
Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "Fourth brother, I appreciate your kindness, but ...... If you really want me to go with peace of mind, then promise me one thing. β
Ouyang Shi hurriedly said: "Cheng!" I'll say anything! β
Yang Yingqi said: "I hope you can reconcile with Zhenghui." β
Ouyang Shi frowned when he heard this, and snorted: "Old Seven, what are you talking to me about this!" β
Yang Yingqi said: "Fourth brother, I know that you have a grudge, but you also forget it. I know you're good at face, but you don't care about the big picture for the sake of face. Now it's just two of us, and I'm not afraid to spread it out. Zhenghui jumped to me from you at the beginning, although it was all within the Han Dynasty, but he changed from to you to me, and it still has a great influence on you and me. However, since he came to my side, he has never done anything harmful to the fourth brother, but he has changed from helping the fourth brother to do things personally to helping the Han Department do things, and he is also dedicated to the public. β
Ouyang Shi sneered: "Dedicated to the public? At that time, you were in charge of the Hanbu, of course you said that you were dedicated to the public! β
Yang Yingqi smiled slightly: "It is difficult to have eternal friends in the world, and there are no eternal enemies. What's more, Zhenghui changed from helping you to helping me, not because I could give him more benefits, but because he thought that I was more able to assist my eldest brother to lead the Han Department to realize the ideal of Datong, at least from this point of view, he was full of heart for the Han Department and for China. Such a person has merit even if he is an enemy, not to mention that he is not an enemy - right, Fourth Brother? β
Ouyang Shi snorted, and Yang Yingqi said again: "If you look at personal grudges, you used Li Yu's matter that day to take revenge on him." I saw that the fourth brother didn't move him again after you took that breath, and I knew that the fourth brother was broad-minded, and he didn't care about it anymore, but he couldn't pull it off his face. β
Ouyang Shi sneered: "Care! He's not worth my attention! β
"Yes, yes." Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "Since the fourth brother doesn't care about personal grievances, he should think more about official affairs." β
Ouyang Shi said: "I don't have anything to talk about with him!" β
Yang Yingqi said: "Fourth brother, the reason why you wanted to fight for the position of the general speaker of the Yuan National Assembly was because you just wanted to fight for power and profit? Or do you want to really contribute to the country? β
Ouyang Shi said: "Of course I want to contribute to the country!" β
"In that case, why do you refuse to be thousands of miles away for a little bit of the Year of the Monkey?" Yang Yingqi said: "Zhenghui is a person who is dedicated to the public, and you can recognize this." When you were in the place, I was in the center, if you help you and succeed, the Han Department may split, if you help me and succeed, the Han Department will move towards unification, and the Han Department will be divided and the fourth brother will also suffer, and the unification of the Han Department will be beneficial to the fourth brother! That's the reason why he didn't help you. Since he could have helped me for this reason at the beginning, he can also help the fourth brother for this reason today - because the fourth brother is now in the center and is the general speaker of the Yuan National Assembly! As long as the fourth brother is sincere in doing things for our country, I can't think of any reason for Zhenghui to go against you. β
Ouyang Shi snorted, but the smell of gunpowder spewing out of his nose was obviously not as strong as Fang Cai.
Yang Yingqi said: "Now the situation between the DPRK and China is uncertain, there are changes in the southern expedition outside, and there is a situation of change in the inside. And fourth brother, as the general speaker of the Yuan National Assembly, these things will have a lot to do with you. Especially the person who will succeed me as Prime Minister in the future...... I guess it's going to be Chen Xian. β
Ouyang Shiqi said: "Chen Xian? Not Han Fang? β
"It won't be Han Fang." Yang Yingqi said: "I pulled up the civil official system of the Han Dynasty, and this time I was dismissed, most of the people below will be dissatisfied." It's not good for everyone to complain about the emperor, but they must find a punching bag - so Han Fang and Liu Cao will bear the brunt. If Han Fang takes my place, many people will have opinions. With the wisdom of the eldest brother, he should not have thought of this. As for Zhenghui...... Although his qualifications are on par with Han Fang, because he is too close to me, my eldest brother will not use him. Zhang Haozhi's ability is slightly inferior to Han Fang and Zhenghui, so this time to appoint the prime minister, if Yang Pu is not transferred to Beijing, then it must be Chen Xian, and I think Chen Xian is the most likely. β
Ouyang Shi heaved and said, "If this old man is allowed to be the prime minister, then don't you listen to the eldest brother in everything?" β
"Almost." Yang Yingqi said: "However, Chen Xian is calm and sophisticated, and he will be the prime minister, although he will not come up with any tricks, but he will not make mistakes." But he will definitely be a weak prime minister relative to meβnot only for the emperor, but also for the deputy ministers below. His days of returning to the Han Department are not as good as Zhenghuichang, and his relationship with his eldest brother is not as close as Han Fang, so the prime minister's mansion in the next few years is likely to form a pattern of several phases standing side by side. In this pattern, Chen Xian is big, and Han Fang is secretly strong. Although Zhenghui is also against the Southern Expedition, he is a very practical person anyway, and there is no suitable person to replace him in his current position for the time being. So as long as he buries his head in the office, talks less and does more things, I guess the eldest brother will keep him. After I leave, if he is isolated and helpless, he will inevitably be excluded and persecuted by Han Fang, which is not only good for himself, but also for his eldest brother, Nanzheng, and the entire Han Dynasty. But if the fourth brother is willing to take care of him, then he doesn't have to be afraid of Han Fang. National events will be corrected, and the relationship between the Yuan National Assembly and the Prime Minister will surely become closer. β
Ouyang Shi had a sparkle in his eyes, but he pretended to be impatient and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you said so much just that I want me to help you take care of your old subordinates, don't worry, for your sake, I won't care about the past with him." Now that the country is in trouble, we have to put the state affairs first, no matter what. Seventh, you're right? β
"Yes, yes!" Yang Yingqi said: "I know that among our brothers, the fourth brother is the most reasonable." β
The brothers were chatting happily, and Lin Yu came in and said, "Lao Yang, your fifth brother is here." β
It turned out that he had arrived at Yuguan, and after hearing the matter in Bozhou, he stopped for a while, and rushed back with a request, only to enter Beijing and heard that Yang Yingqi was dismissed, which made him anxious, and quickly ran to find Yang Yingqi, and shouted when he entered the door: "Seventh, the boss really removed you?" As soon as he looked up, he saw Ouyang Shi, and asked again: "Fourth!" Did the boss really remove the seventh? β
Yang Yingqi didn't expect Aru Man to come at this time, he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Ouyang Shi said, "Yes." β
Aru was displeased: "Boss, what's wrong?" In the whole world, who else can sit this son except for Lao Qi? I think he was deceived by Han Fang and Liu Cao's traitors! No, I'll go into the palace to find him!" β
Yang Yingqi exclaimed: "Fifth brother! Don't go! "But where can I hold him?
