Chapter 556: State Affairs, Family Affairs
Jia Dian is the most experienced among them in addition to Lu Zifei as an official in four years, the short-term Hanlin Academy repaired, followed Lu Zifei to establish the Ministry of Public Security, was the director of the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, and now he has returned to the Criminal Department, so he knows more about many secrets in the court than Han Jiang.
"Song Xiang is bent on stability, he doesn't want to make waves during his tenure, the emperor must be dissatisfied with what he has done, the Great Song Dynasty is now changing with each passing day every day, if he can't keep up with the changes in the general trend of the world, it will be a matter of time before he quits the prime minister."
Han Jiang's father also retired from the position of the feudal official, and his sense of smell of the government is no worse than Jia Di, which was created by the environment since he was a child, so he immediately thought of another thing.
"And what about the next prime minister? The court and the emperor have nothing to like. ”
Jia Dian smiled: "That's interesting, there are many candidates for the next prime minister, and there is now a call in the court that Fan Xianggong and Han Xianggong may come back, Song Qi is the emperor has long thought of the prince, Wen Shangshu and Fu Shangshu are qualified, it's hard to say." ”
Han Jiang muttered to himself: "You said that I still believe in other people, Fan Xianggong and Han Xianggong are not very likely!" It took a lot of effort to let the two of them leave the center at the beginning, and now one is defending against Western Xia in Qinfeng Road, and the other is defending against Liao in Hejian Mansion, no, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. ”
"You can think of it, do you think others can't think of it? The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop! This time, not only the prime minister will be replaced, but the privy envoy will also be replaced, and the top positions of the two Great Song Dynasty will be vacated, you say that it will not be lively. ”
Du Yan came back as a privy envoy and asked Han Qi to go to Jingluo Hebei and Hebei Road, which was a last resort at that time, and Du Yan was only a temporary replacement, everyone was not surprised that he stepped down, and the unexpected thing was that the prime minister and the economic envoy were replaced at the same time, which was quite a big change.
Jia Dian said: "The reason why the emperor is dissatisfied with Song Xiang is not only the drought in Tangzhou, the disaster in Tangzhou Song Xiang is at most a crime of negligence, how many states in the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible for the prime minister's eyes to focus on only one state, Tangzhou is just the last straw that crushed Song Xiang." ”
Han Jiang said: "What's the matter, is there anything else hidden here, tell me quickly, don't let me go in and out like a fool when the time comes." ”
"When the Ministry of Public Security was established and the local public security bureaus became regular and played an unparalleled role, the emperor had the idea of rebuilding the Criminal Department, because the Ministry of Public Security's independence did not conform to the golden mean, and it was impossible to monitor each other.
Therefore, the reconstruction of the criminal department is imminent, after Song Xiang came to power, several court meetings vetoed the emperor's intention on the grounds of immaturity, in fact, Song Xiang thought so, it is understandable, but he underestimated the emperor's determination, and the root cause had already been buried, but now the winner is only now decided. ”
Han Jiang said: "I remember that this idea was also put forward by Hanzhang, and the imperial court was afraid that these two yamen would be owned by individuals after they were rebuilt, so they left Hanzhang idle, and now it seems that the emperor has not forgotten it!" ”
Jia Di sneered: "No emperor can refuse the temptation of a thousand years of greatness, and today's saint is no exception, why did I leave the Kaifeng Public Security Bureau, I don't believe in it without the emperor's means, no one will like this scene." ”
Han Jiang said with a smile: "These things are not what we can worry about now, if Han Zhang is there, he can still operate one or two, he is dragged by the quagmire in Dali and can't move, let's wait and see what happens." ”
Jia Dian also nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Zhenhua came to me a few days ago, saying that he was too bored in Hanlin Academy and wanted to go out for a walk, but I refused, I said that he was still young, and that kid was not convinced. ”
"A few of them are taught by Hanzhang, the ability must be there, the heart is higher than the sky, not every champion can do the show, he is an exception, Hanlin Academy, Liubu Guanzheng, Waifang, Shilang, Political Affairs Hall, this is his future promotion road."
Jia Dian said with a smile: "The two of us have also stayed in the Hanlin Academy, the people in that place are all from Jinshi, everyone is similar, they pay attention to the first to come, first to come, Zhenhua and a few of them are sharp, it is normal to be excluded by others, let them pass this level first." ”
Today is the day when Empress Cao returns to Beijing, Zhao Zhen's happy days are over, the queen is the master of the harem, and there is still some chaos in the consequences without the queen, mainly because Zhao Zhen misses his son, and it is really strange to not see him for a few months.
Zhao Xin doesn't care about those? In Luoyang, Empress Cao's laxity, he was also crazy, and when he returned to Beijing, he remembered that there was a father in the palace, and with a roll of his eyes, he pulled his good friend back to Beijing together.
The Wangbei Houfu in the capital was vacant after Cai Mengyue became pregnant, and this time he came to the capital to let people know that there were still people in the Lu family, but her father returned to Beijing to report on his work, and she also wanted to see her family when she took this opportunity.
Cai Xiang since the post in Quanzhou, more and more like to drink tea, now Quanzhou's tea in the Great Song Dynasty are famous, back to Beijing to visit relatives and friends he behaved very arrogant, the master is not anything else is more tea.
Wang Su sniffed the little dragon group in the teacup and said intoxicatedly: "The Wang family is also a family, and such a good tea is not something you can drink if you want to, where are you going to go to work when you return to Beijing this time." ”
Cai Xiang smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can decide this kind of thing?" Let's see how the big men of the slaughtering room and the officials decide! I'm not in a hurry, what about you? How about in Goshidai. ”
"What else, the same old way! It's okay to impeach Zhang San and Li Si, if there is something, go up to the leader and give a tank, generally speaking, there is no passion and no big event, it is stable, have you heard about the affairs of the court? ”
"I've heard a little, I knew that this was the case, I just pretended to be sick and pretended to be ten days and a half months before returning to Beijing, now it's not going in, it's not going back, I'm coming to you today, I'm just asking for help."
Wang Su said jokingly: "You noble man still need to beg me, how many people in Quanzhou fought to go that time, but the result was not for you to take the lead, this time you didn't write to ask your son-in-law." ”
"How embarrassing are you for this kind of thing, after all, we are elders, and he has a lot of enemies in the court, you have been in the capital for a long time, help me come up with ideas, I am really a bit of a master now."
Wang Su looked at Cai Xiang's face and said: "It has nothing to do with you that the situation is confusing, you are a foreign official returning to the court, and you know your task in Quanzhou, so there is really a job suitable for you in the court at this time, but there are many people who want to get this job, you have to be prepared." ”
To be honest, Cai Xiang didn't have much hope for coming today, but Wang Su's words gave him a little hope, so he asked curiously: "What kind of work, you tell me, forget about the third division and the household department, the water run by people can't be splashed, and we will be low-voiced when we go." ”
Wang Su said: "It has something to do with the three divisions and the household department, and now no one can say it, you know the big Song Bank!" Many people rumored that this bank had something to do with the emperor and your son-in-law, and when the Third Division audited the accounts last year, they found that this sharp weapon was too huge, so they suggested to the imperial court that it be merged into the Third Division and set up a new department. ”
This is a lot of information, Cai Xiang didn't react for a while, this bank is now very powerful in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it is a big city, you can see them, but in the end, it is still a non-governmental organization, how can this still enter the eyes of the imperial court.
"Isn't it just a cabinet shop? It also needs to be merged into the three divisions, isn't it a bit of a fuss. ”
Wang Su sneered and said: "You are in the blessing and do not know the blessing, do you know what the profit of the three divisions went to the bank in the capital to check their annual profits last year, and it will really scare you to death if you say it, which is equivalent to half a year's income of the Quanzhou City Bo Division, do you say that it is a big fuss." ”
Cai Xiang got up from his chair suddenly, this data is a little scary, he doesn't doubt that Wang Su will lie to himself, because the data is in the third division, there must be more than one or two people who see it, no wonder the imperial court has to make such a decision.
Wang Su continued: "The imperial court has long had this intention, but it has been stranded if you can't negotiate with the bank, if you can win this position, the benefits will be great." ”
Cai Xiang can't listen to one person's words and make a decision in a hurry, he has his own considerations, his daughter has returned to Beijing, just in time to ask her, that is, the elders ask these questions to the juniors, a little embarrassed.
"Dad, you will live at home when you come back, there is a place at home, why bother to live in a post house, it is comfortable to live at home outside."
Cai Xiang said: "Do you know about the bank? I remember Xiao Fei told me that it was also his industry. ”
Cai Mengyue said: "I know! My husband mentioned this matter to me, and he seemed to agree to the merger of the bank into the Third Division, but on the condition that Fan Shige be the head of this department, the imperial court did not agree, and felt that such an important department could not be placed in the hands of a young man. ”
After thinking about it, Cai Mengyue understood what her father meant, and she said with some embarrassment: "Does my father want to seek this position, this daughter can't be in charge, but I can ask my husband." ”
"The woman is not staying! As a father, I just asked, no, I don't need to use Xiaofei, why didn't you bring my good grandson when you came back this time. ”
"His grandmother felt that the child was too young and didn't let me take it back to the capital, but my father, you know that you won't go back to Quanzhou this time, why don't you bring your mother and them together."
Cai Xiang said: "I'm not sure about my work, I'm afraid that they will follow me to suffer, I heard that your family's academy in Luoyang is very powerful." ”
Cai Mengyue said: "Dad, you want to put your younger brother in Luoyang, that stinky boy hasn't seen him for a few years and still doesn't listen." ”
Cai Xiang said: "I'm afraid that you won't believe it when you see him, now he will be a demon king of the world, and when he returns to Quanzhou, the clansmen and your grandmother are about to spoil him, I really can't help it, if he goes on like this, he will be abolished." ”
Cai Mengyue felt that his father's words were exaggerated, an eleven or twelve-year-old child he could mix there, boys are nothing more than skin spots, this is not a big problem, when he arrived at the academy, with those high-IQ students, Cai Mengyue believed that a month would definitely make him obedient.
