Chapter 0354: The Old Things of Yongzheng Year
It just so happened that at this time, the guy came up to pay tribute to the goose, listened to the loud drinking in the house, and then slapped the table and kicked the leg of the stool, and was startled. ”
Seeing the butter-fragrant tribute goose coming up, Zhang Jixian's gloomy face became clearer. He waved his hand for the guy to go out and said, "None of your business. ”
The guy replied yes and slowly exited the room. Zhang Jixian was not humble either, and couldn't wait to eat a large piece of goose meat first, chewing it soundly, with a satisfied look on his face.
Gege and Dark Fragrance glanced at each other and smiled.
After feasting for a while, he poured himself three glasses of wine, and Zhang Jixian exhaled happily. At this moment, the guy served a few plates of new vegetables such as braised eggplant, salt-fried beans, and fried green pepper boxes, and Gege and Dark Xiang also ate a few chopsticks at random.
After Zhang Jixian was half-full, Gege asked again: "Ruoqing asked Brother Zhang why he called Xie Zhonglin and Fang Song old thieves?" ”
Zhang Jixian's face was stunned, and he suddenly woke up for a moment, put down his chopsticks excitedly, and said angrily, "These two old thieves are the most hateful." Gege is not in the court, and he doesn't know the inside story of the court. Fang Song controlled the appointment and dismissal of officials in Beijing, and he was very arrogant, and he colluded with the foreign minister Xie Zhonglin and became an invisible friend. Most of those who are close to them are promoted, and those who are not close to them are directly dismissed if their performance is poor. Zhang hated them, and most of them didn't blend in, so he almost fell into their way several times. If it weren't for the emperor's sage, Zhang was afraid that he would be sent back to Jiyuan's hometown last year. ”
Gege said in his heart that the emperor was most afraid of collusion between Beijing officials and foreign ministers. Especially the civil officials and military generals, their union, means that it will be a big hidden danger for the imperial court. Qianlong was not too powerful, Yongzheng period. Because of Yongzheng's suspicious and yin nature, there are many guards who spy on the ministers and report to the emperor. That's when the Blooddrops came into being. The minister went down to the court, and when he went home, he didn't dare to talk about the government, and he didn't even dare to drink and touch cards with his wife, for fear of being accidentally discovered by the emperor.
Legend has it that a certain minister retired home one day, drank some wine at home with his wife, and then borrowed wine to draw a few games of cards. Early in the morning. Yongzheng asked the minister. What did you do last night? The minister didn't dare to hide it, and honestly replied that he had played cards in his wife's room at home. Yongzheng smiled and said. The minister originally forbade gambling with cards, but it doesn't matter if you play a few hands at home. I'll reward you with something, and you can go home and take a good look at it. Anyway, give the minister a thing. The minister was inexplicable. Take the things home and open the cloth bag in front of the wives. A concubine exclaimed, "Isn't this the one we lost last night?" The minister was naturally frightened and trembling, and even at home in the future, he would be careful in handling things. For fear of being caught by the spies sent by the emperor.
After Qianlong came to power, he was lenient and clear, but he didn't care about such things as forming a party for personal gain. He's too lenient, dare he not know?
Silent for a long time. Gege opened his mouth and said, "For today's plan, I think we have to show favor to Xie Zhonglin first." ”
Zhang Jixian was drinking a mouthful of goose soup in his mouth, and when he heard Gege say this, he accidentally squirted out. He didn't bother to wipe his mouth, he glared at Gege in surprise and asked, "Did I hear me wrong?" What did Gege say just now? ”
Gege Zhengse said: "I said that I want to show favor to Xie Zhonglin." ”
Zhang Jixian's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Zhang really thinks highly of Qing Gege, I don't know that Qing Gege also has to rely on forming a party to do private business?" ”
Dark Xiang knew Gege's temperament, and when she heard him speak badly, she hurriedly persuaded: "Master Zhang is not impatient, Gege must have something else hidden!" ”
Zhang Jixian finally wiped off the water stains hanging on his mouth, and snorted coldly: "Forget it, what about the secret, Zhang can't see what the noble Qing Gege can hide?" ”
After listening to these words that teased him, Gege was not annoyed, and said hesitantly: "Haven't you heard of long-distance close attacks? ”
Dark Xiang suddenly understood, but Zhang Jixian was still muttering: "What kind of long-distance and close attack, it's not bullshit, Zhang can't get used to people like you who tend to be inflammatory." But Zhang doesn't understand, does Qing Gege still need to be inflammatory? Why do you have to run behind their butts? Does Qing Gege want to interfere in the government? Zhang said something that I don't know how high or low, Qing Gege is afraid that he can't interfere in the government and politics, what can a female stream become? After muttering for a long time, Gege just took it calmly and drank the tea slowly. Dark incense was embarrassed, and she was very worthless.
After a long while, Zhang Jixian looked at Gege in amazement and asked, "Does Gege want to attack from afar, break them up, and break them down individually?" ”
Gege said casually: "Ruoqing is just a woman, and if she has the intention to interfere in the government, I'm afraid she can't." Brother Zhang is a man and a direct minister, so there must be a good way. If you are stupid, you can't help. ”
Zhang Jixian squeezed out a smile on his face, made amends and said: "Jixian's mouth is fast, his brain can't keep up, I hope Qing Gege will forgive me a lot!" Jixian and Gege have known each other for so long, Gege should always know that Jixian is reckless, don't worry about Jixian! It's a big deal that Jixian invited this meal, Gege was dissipated, and Jixian was listening to the advice. ”
Gege Fang only groaned and said: "The ancients said that in the melee, in the middle of the vertical and horizontal, each takes advantage. Far from attacking, but can be advantageous. Back then, after the Qin State changed the law, its power developed the fastest. King Qin Zhao began to plot to annex the Six Kingdoms and dominate the Central Plains. Day and night planning to cut down. At this time, Fan Sui presented the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" to King Qin Zhao at this time. He believed that the Qi State was powerful and far away from the Qin State, and to attack the Qi State, the troops would have to pass through Han and Wei. There are fewer troops, and it is difficult to win; Send more troops, and even if you win, you can't occupy the land of Qi. It is better to attack the neighboring countries of Han and Wei first, and gradually advance. In order to prevent Qi from forming an alliance with Han and Wei, King Qin Zhao sent envoys to take the initiative to form an alliance with Qi. In the following 40 years, Qin Shi Huang always adhered to the policy of "distant friendship and close attack", broke through one by one, and finally realized the desire for great unification. ”
At this time, Zhang Jixian already understood what Gege meant, and said quickly: "Jixian understands." Xie Zhonglin is far away in Henan, and he can't talk about interfering in the government, but he is just supporting Fang Song with his wings. Fang Song is an old fox, with a good palm and a hand covering the sky, take him first, and we will win this game of chess. Speaking of happiness, Zhang Jixian high-fived and smiled: "It's really a wonderful strategy!" Sure enough, it's a brilliant idea! ”
Dark Xiang smiled: "Master Zhang is really smart, and he can understand it as soon as he says it." Now that you have comprehended that this is a clever strategy, is this meal invited by Lord Zhang? We're going to eat too. ”
Zhang Jixian sighed, touched his sleeve and said ashamedly: "Can you keep accounts?" (To be continued) R466
