Chapter 228: Cabinet Minister
Can Zuo Jinglun really help us? Wang Xiao asked.
Qian Cheng twisted his long beard and slowly spit out three words:
"Not necessarily."
Wang Xiao: "......"
Qian Chengyun only then remembered that now that he has taken refuge in this attached horse, it is still not appropriate to be too careful.
"Zuo Jinglun may not be willing to vote, but you must convince him!"
Wang Xiao was worried that he was playing tricks on himself, and said, "Isn't it the same that Your Majesty issued a decree?" Who would dare not listen to His Majesty? ”
"Who dare?" Qian Chengyun laughed, and said as a matter of course: "We don't listen to Your Majesty!" We are civil officials who govern the country, and we are not eunuchs and servants of His Majesty. ”
Wang Xiao was speechless.
"You still don't know anything about the court......
The expression on Qian Chengcheng's face is quite complicated, it is a kind of expression that is both 'distressed' and 'flattering'.
"Ahem, of course, it's rare for a horse to be so outstanding at such a young age. But there is inevitably a little bit of unfamiliarity...... If I hadn't come to see Xia Guan today, I was afraid that I would be killed by the traitor Wenbo Jian, alas, it's a pity! ”
Wang smiled: "You don't pat yourself on the back, say it quickly!" ”
Qian Chengyun said: "Your Majesty's own will can only be called the middle will; And the decree drawn up by the cabinet and sealed by the celebrant is called a holy decree. Only the holy decree is recognized by the court. When the first emperor wanted to repair the palace, the cabinet refused to draft a vote, and the first emperor insisted on issuing a decree, and Cai Ying, the secretary of the household department at that time, led the order to allocate silver to purchase materials, do you know what happened to Cai Ying? ”
Wang Xiao asked, "What's the end?" ”
Qian Chengyun said: "I was beaten to death by hundreds of officials!" This has been the atmosphere for 200 years, and hundreds of officials are ashamed of obeying the Central Decree and proud of opposing the Central Decree. Do you understand? It's a very simple truth, the scholar is to rule the world with the Son of Heaven, and he is responsible for all the people, how can he come from the Son of Heaven? ! ”
The king laughed and said, "Bah, you now say that you have a duty to all the peoples. In the event of the death of the country, the responsibility is all borne by His Majesty alone. ”
Qian Chengyun smiled, and it was not easy to argue with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Your charter is obviously problematic, it's too inefficient......
Qian Chengyun said: "All in all, we must convince Zuo Jinglun. ”
"Why Zuo Jinglun? How to convince? ”
Qian Cheng took two steps calmly and said, "Attached to Marco, do you know what the three members of the cabinet mean to Your Majesty?" Why does Your Majesty use them so much? ”
Wang Xiao said impatiently: "You can say it well, don't keep asking me!" ”
Qian Chengyun had no choice but to say: "Zheng Yuanhua is diligent in his work, and His Majesty can't leave him, which represents the status quo; Lu Zhengchu observed the Sacred Heart, and when he was in danger, he was able to serve the Son of Heaven to tour the south, which represented a way out; And Zuo Jinglun ......"
"Zuo Jinglun can be mediocre, but he has the ambition to prosper the country, and he wants to cut the clan and change the law. He represents His Majesty's ...... Ideal. ”
Wang smiled: "But Your Majesty doesn't mean to reuse Zuo Jinglun." ”
Qian said: "Your Majesty doesn't dare. His Majesty did not dare to move the clan, so he did not dare to use Zuo Jinglun. But His Majesty wants to put him there, and every time he sees him, His Majesty will think: If it is a last resort, it is a big deal to use Zuo Jinglun, and a big deal is to break up with those royal magnates. Understand ......"
He didn't dare to ask Wang Xiao again: 'Do you understand?' I had to cough, and said: "Attached to the horse must think that Zuo Jinglun and Qin Chengye don't deal with each other, right?" ”
Wang Xiaoqi said: "Isn't it? ”
Qian Chengyun smiled faintly: "If you don't use Qin Chengye to guard Liaodong, who can guard it?" Zuo Jinglun is not at odds with Qin Chengye, what he wants is to snatch Qin Chengye from Lu Zhengchu. For example, in the case of Liaoyu, Lu Zhengchu raised Liaoyu, and Zuo Jinglun had to oppose it, but if Zuo Jinglun was to preside over Liaodong's affairs, he could only raise salaries for Qin Chengye, understand...... Cough. ”
"Another example, Qin Chengye's grandson, Qin Xuance. As soon as he entered Beijing, Zuo Jinglun sent someone to investigate. At that time, I was still an ally with him, and it was I who arranged for someone to go to the Xingwang Gambling House to find out the bottom of Qin Xuance. Oh, I didn't expect that by mistake, this kid fell in love with Zuo Jinglun's granddaughter. The two children thought that they were hiding from Zuo Jinglun in private, but they didn't know that Zuo Jinglun saw this matter clearly, and he was hanging Qin Xuance......"
"Only by obtaining Qin Chengye's support can Zuo Jinglun persuade His Majesty to let him cut down the sect domain...... Therefore, Zuo Jinglun does not look down on Lu Zhengchu. I never understood before: Why did Zuo Jinglun always fail to defeat Lu Zhengchu? I have been in prison for the past few days, but I have figured it out. ”
Wang Xiao had no choice but to ask again, "Why?" ”
Qian Chengyun smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "Because, Zheng Yuanhua and Lu Zhengchu are actually in the same group. ”
"How is that possible?!" Wang Xiao exclaimed: "Your Majesty has been using Lu Zhengchu to deal with Zheng Yuanhua, and in the last palace trial, Zheng Yuanhua was also stepping on Lu Zhengchu's ......."
Qian Chengyun sneered and said: "It's just a discord on the surface, what is done for Your Majesty is also for everyone to see." Just this point, it can be seen that Zheng Yuanhua has bad intentions! ”
"Zheng Yuanhua's authority has long aroused His Majesty's jealousy, and His Majesty led Lu Zhengchu into the cabinet to contain him. Unexpectedly, the two had already formed a strong political alliance. ”
Wang Xiao exclaimed: "Alliance? What are they going to do? ”
"For example...... The matter of the Southern Tour. Qian Chengyun said: "I've always been very strange, even such a brazen person as me hasn't let His Majesty tour the south, why did Lu Zhengchu start to do it?" The family and country are still there, how can the hundred officials agree to His Majesty's southern tour? Without Zheng Yuanhua's consent, how could Lu Zhengchu rectify the Beijing camp? ”
"But after figuring out that the two of them are one party, everything will be solved!"
Qian Chengyun became excited and said, "They ...... They don't want to serve the Son of Heaven to tour south, they want to serve the prince to tour south! Zheng Yuanhua has the heart of regent! In this situation, if the matter of the southern tour is discussed, the hundred officials will definitely oppose it, and His Majesty will definitely not be able to tour the south. ”
"The king must not be moved, but the prince can! Let the prince tour south, and no one will object. And when they get to the south, they have a camp in their hands, and this useless prince will be controlled by them! They were already laying out, just waiting for the time to take charge of the dynasty and swallow half of the country. ”
Wang Xiao was shocked and shocked.
At this point, he understood why Zuo Jinglun evaluated Zheng Yuanhua as Jia Xu and helped Cao Pi ascend the throne.
But looking at his heart, I'm afraid it's more like Sima Yi......
But then, Wang Xiao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But Lu Cifu may not have this in mind, otherwise why would he raise Liao's salary?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Qian Chengyun said categorically: "Master Ma, this is our opportunity, we are the most loyal to Your Majesty!" As long as we defeat the Wen family this time, we will stand firm and find another opportunity to trample Zheng and Lu and the party hard! ”
Qian Chengyun said, and even his body was trembling slightly.
After going to prison, when he figured it out, he couldn't sleep for several nights in excitement.
It's a pity that it was too late, he had already lost. I thought that I would never be able to return to that court, so I could only die lonely with this big conspiracy.
But today, when Wang Xiao walks into this cell, everything will be different!
Hahahaha, hard-working people, the sky is not worth it, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!
"Attached to Master Ma, you believe me, we are going to be a supreme minister. You will become the mainstay of His Majesty's henchmen, and from then on, you will be crowned as a prince and a duke, and you will be glorious for a lifetime, and you will be full of glory......"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Ahem, but you have to convince Zuo Jinglun first......"
~~
Qian Duoduo was very happy in her heart.
His sweetheart was reconciled to his father.
The two of them were still very close, and they chatted with each other for half an hour and half an hour across the wooden fence.
They also said that they were going to do something 'secretly son-in-law', which was really embarrassing and ashamed......
At this time, she was sitting on a pony with her feet cross-legged, and the corners of her skirt were folded at her knees, looking very ladylike. She held the osmanthus cake in her hand, her eyes stared at Wang Xiao, and she only felt that her heart was sweeter than the osmanthus cake.
The next moment, Wang Xiao coughed twice, and said very solemnly: "Old Qian, come." ”
As he spoke, Wang Xiao helped Qian Duoduo up.
"Come, apologize to my little flower......"
