Chapter 42 Exchange of Interests
Zhao Zhen was a little curious and fiddled with the rhino horn in the car, there was a deep groove on the top of the rhino horn round body, and a post protruded from the bottom of the bottom of the depression, which was probably the reason why it was commonly known as the gutter hill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The whole rhino horn is carved into the shape of a wide-mouth cup, the cup body is the appearance of an old birthday star, auspicious clouds, exquisite carving and gorgeous cup body is a little unusual.
Seeing Zhao Zhen fiddling with the rhino horn cup, Ding Wei smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also likes rhino horns?" ”
"I'm just interested, although the rhino horn is good, it is extremely valuable, and the top is good, and the bottom will be very good! Ding Xianggong said bluntly, it's not a good thing for the prince of the political hall to meet the prince alone, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation? ”
Zhao Zhen put down the rhino horn in his hand and said lightly.
In the face of the ridicule in Zhao Zhen's words, Ding Wei was not embarrassed at all, but said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true, as for the reputation, can I still have a good reputation now?" ”
This is said to be extremely frank, and it can also be said to be shameless.
Ding Wei's openness and honesty made Zhao Zhen feel at ease, after all, he was still a little nervous about dealing with an old fritter like him, and Ding Wei must play some tricks, and it would be really difficult to ride a tiger when the time came.
Zhao Zhen relaxed on the futon: "Ding Xianggong can say it directly, I am still a child, so you don't have to go around in front of the child." ”
"The old minister hopes that the prince will be honest, I wonder what the prince thinks of the old minister?"
This is making things difficult, Zhao Zhen was shocked by his words, this thing actually asked himself straightforwardly what he thought of him, this is simply a strange news in the world!
"Talented, ruthless, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, framing loyalty, and crowding out political enemies."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and then said what he really thought.
Ding Wei, who was on the other side, breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The prince really understands things, but why doesn't the prince want to think about why the old minister wants to do this?" ”
This is also what makes Zhao Zhen the most curious, the historical Ding Wei used all kinds of means to crack down on dissidents, but it was not until he was about to monopolize power that he was dismissed by Liu E and demoted to Yazhou.
But why he did what he did has been bothering many people, you must know that he is now a supreme minister, although he cannot monopolize power, but what he says is also quite weighty.
If you just look at his governance, there is nothing bad about it, and it can even be said that it can only be done by famous ministers.
Clever and resourceful, versatile, celestial divination, calligraphy, painting, chess, piano, poetry and music, all proficient. He chases Han and Liu, and his poems are like Du Fu, and he was once known as "today's giant Confucian".
And he also has the ability to never forget, and he can recite an article of several thousand words after reading it.
This is even more genius than Cai Boyu, and his governance measures also make people sigh, not much to say about the wisdom of skillfully building Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, even knowing the military affairs in detail!
Wang Jun in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region rebelled, and the imperial court mobilized soldiers to resist, but turned to Kou. These people were familiar with the mountains and rivers, conquered states and counties, plundered men and women, and made enemies of the government.
Ding Wei was ordered to dispose of it, and as soon as he arrived, he ordered the army to be dismissed, ventured into the river cave to meet with its leader, told the court to appease, and declared that he had an edict from the official family, all of them were pardoned and not killed, and they were given brocade robes and silver silks, so that they would be grateful.
They expressed their willingness to pay tribute to the imperial court for generations, and engraved the oath on stone pillars and erected them on the border, and the southwest region was peaceful from then on.
This is just the beginning, in order to truly appease these people and let them work with peace of mind, Ding Wei adopted the method of exchanging salt for grain to solve the disadvantages of military salaries in Kui and Wanzhuzhou, and at the same time alleviated the labor of the border people in delivering imperial grain over long distances.
He also allowed the horses raised by the people in southern Guizhou to be freely exchanged in the market. He personally planned and operated the construction of the Kuizhou Walled City to strengthen the border defense.
Zhao Heng once asked Ding Wei how to make the border defense long-term and peaceful, and the ethnic minorities did not dare to do wrong. Ding Wei replied: "As long as the officials sent by the imperial court do not invite merit and make trouble, and win with quietness, they will be peaceful." ”
It can be seen that his great wisdom is not only an indicator but also a cure for future troubles!
There are countless other things, such as crossing the Yellow River and retreating from the enemy, building water conservancy, reducing and reducing taxes, etc., what Zhao Zhen admires the most is that this product is still an economic expert!
When Ding Wei served as the third envoy, he rectified the economy and taxes, first conducted in-depth investigations and personally visited the people, and then made corresponding regulations and policies, which were used as a standard to benefit the country and the people.
In general, he is a talented but power-hungry person. The reason for the mixed reputation is that he ignores the interests of the country and the people, blindly panders to the emperor, and gives the emperor bad ideas, which will naturally be opposed by upright people.
Facing Zhao Zhen's thinking, Ding Wei was not in a hurry, but sat cross-legged, took out a book and slowly flipped through it.
"I didn't understand your behavior before, there is no need for a supreme minister to curry favor with the official family, and it is still unprincipled to curry favor, which is too much sacrifice for you, but you talked to me openly and honestly today, indicating that you have a hard time, I don't know the specific reason, but I guess it is probably to get more rights to do bigger things."
Zhao Zhen's words made Ding Wei's eyes light up, and he raised his head suddenly: "The prince might as well tell me what you think." ”
"It's not an idea, it's just an analysis of the facts, first of all, you can't rebel, because it's not your ambition, and you know that it can't succeed."
After pausing slightly, seeing Ding Wei nodded with relief, Zhao Zhen continued: "Since this is the case, then you really want to get greater rights to solve the things that you can't do now, either you have an amazing move, or you just enjoy the feeling of monopolizing the world." ”
The corners of Ding Wei's mouth cracked, and his natural slanted eyes exuded excitement and looked at Zhao Zhen: "Does the prince think that the old minister wants to have amazing deeds or enjoy the rights of the world?!" ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to see through people's hearts, but I know that you are now enjoying your rights and doing many shameful things for this." ”
Ding Wei sighed and said: "The prince is not unable to see through, but wants the old minister to say it himself, the young man is wise and terrifying, and in the future, please ask the prince to let my Ding family live." ”
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Don't treat me as a tyrant, I don't need you to stutter, as long as I do my part, I won't make it difficult for you, but I must see your plan, the problem of three redundancies is imminent!" ”
"It is not advisable to use strong medicine for serious illnesses, and it is the best policy to slowly figure it out." Ding Wei's face changed and he said seriously.
"I want you to sort out a plan, understand?"
"The old minister understands, when His Royal Highness is in power, it is the time for the old minister's note to be delivered!"
Zhao Zhen nodded, the communication between smart people is convenient, the two of them just tried a few words to know each other's intentions, and the two sides also exchanged opinions.
Ding Wei saw through Zhao Zhen, and at the same time opened his heart, allowing Zhao Zhen to see himself clearly.
Watching the prince leave like a thief, Ding Wei lifted the curtain of the car and muttered to himself: "How wise and close to the demon, think about it carefully, it's terrifying!" ”
In this conversation, he wanted to explain what he had done to the prince and make him understand him more, but the prince already knew his intentions, and the chilling gaze in Gyeongbokgung Palace really scared him.
Talking to him seemed to forget his age, this aura full of majesty and everything under control in his mind reminded him of Taizu, coughed lightly, beckoned to the coachman in the distance, and Ding Wei gently put himself on the soft fur.
Today he was very tired from performing, and the pressure in his heart was also very great, and Queen Liu's words still echoed in his ears: "You have to make the prince trust you, the prince's character is straightforward, don't be too pretentious, let him believe that you are telling the truth!" I can give you what you want, but the prince can't! ”
