Chapter 21 The Monarch and the Minister

Wang Dan trembled into the main hall, the empty hall looked particularly gloomy, and the sunlight could only shine on the wooden floor through the cracks in the windows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the floor is wiped for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some ups and downs, and there will be a creaking sound when walking on shoes.

Zhao Heng frowned and raised his eyelids, to see who disturbed his tranquility, at this time he was enjoying the feeling that the world was under control, although he could not go to the court, but the music in front of him was the best way for him to understand the current situation in the court and the situation in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he saw Wang Dan's drooping old face, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes and interrupted Wang Dan's salute urgently: "Who is here from the Dao, it turns out to be the prince!" Sit down! At such an age, don't care about etiquette! ”

"The old minister doesn't want to be unsure of the old man, he is said to be an elder who is presumptuous in front of the official family when he is old." Wang Dan smiled and saluted.

Although he and Zhao Heng have the name of monarchs and ministers, they are also teachers and friends, and they usually pay great attention to etiquette and dare not go beyond the slightest, but at this age, they really don't care so much, looking at Zhao Heng's appearance, Wang Dan also wants to be casual, so as not to make the official's mind heavy.

Sure enough, Zhao Heng was extremely happy: "Haha, you have been like this all your life, and you are very cautious, so I can trust you with the responsibility of slaughtering." Oh yes, why are you here today? You were hiding from me in the past! ”

Wang Dan sat down on the brocade, picked up the tea handed by the waiter, looked at the palace people, and only said after all of them were pushed away: "The official family still likes this little dragon group, life is impermanent, and the old minister originally planned to meet the official family today......

"No! It's easy to say anything, but you can't mention this matter again, so you should do me a favor?! Zhao Heng first interrupted brutally, and then pleaded in a slower tone.

It was the first time for Wang Dan to see an official begging like this, and he didn't have such a look when he was forced by Kou Zhun to drive the royal expedition.

Shaking his head and sighing: "It's not that the official family is unwilling to assist, but that they can't do it!" The old minister's body has been half cut into the ground, and he really has no ability to help the official family, so he is ready to resign today, but the old minister doesn't plan to leave! ”

"You can't...... Well? Not going to go? That's true! Zhao Heng was unhappy at first, and when he heard Wang Dan's last sentence, he turned angry and asked with joy.

"The old minister is not leaving!" Wang Dan didn't care about the etiquette, and reached out tremblingly and grabbed Zhao Heng's shriveled palm.

The palms of his sixty-year-old men are warmer than the palms of the officials, and it seems that the officials took pills back then, and they couldn't help but beat their thighs.

Seeing this, Zhao Heng smiled miserably: "The prince doesn't have to be like this, everything is my own fault, you tried your best to stop it back then, but I have already lost my mind." ”

Zhao Heng tore his nose and snorted: "Don't say this, why did you take the initiative to stay this time?" ”

Wang Dan smiled mysteriously: "Of course, the old minister stayed this time because he wanted to ask the official family to be a big official!" ”

"Haha, what an official position, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The crown prince and the prince!"

Zhao Heng looked at Wang Dan in surprise and said, "The crown prince and the prince are fictitious, and there is no real ...... Are you going to teach the prince?! ”

How can an official who has lived in the court for a long time not know what Wang Dan means, he wants to restore the system of three princes and three divisions during the Tang Dynasty, the prince and the prince are just the beginning, and slowly there will be the appearance of the prince and the prince!

Wang Dan nodded and said: "The official's guess is right, the previous recital is no longer practical and the current situation, the queen is a woman after all, and it was decided to let her come to the dynasty as a last resort!" ”

"But Yi'er ...... after all"

"The official family still underestimated His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't the Prince handle the Voice of Long Live today's Crown Prince very well?"

Zhao Heng nodded: "It's really good, how similar this is to what happened to me back then." After speaking, he glanced at Wang Dan again, and said with a smile: "But he doesn't have an auxiliary minister like the prince!" ”

Wang Dan smiled dumbly: "The official family should not wear a high hat for the old minister, the old minister is already old and cannot assist the official family, but it should be possible to enlighten the prince." ”

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm not sure, but I'm scared." This time, the authority of the prince's three divisions was opened, in case ......"

Even if he didn't say it, Wang Dan understood that Zhao Heng was afraid that the third division of the crown prince would become a permanent family law of the ancestors in the future.

Over the years, the Zhao and Song dynasties have played a good hand of checks and balances, using civil power to control military force, and then returning the rights of civil officials to the central government.

The three princes and the Taifu Taibao, who originally had real power, have all been turned into fictitious titles, and now if the rights of the three princes and the three divisions are lifted, it will not be easy to take them back...... It seems that the official family still doesn't believe in Wenchen!

Wang Dan shook his head and sighed: "The official family doesn't need to say much, the old minister knows." ”

"Don't mind the prince, I have a good plan!" Zhao Heng saw Wang Dan's disappointed eyes, and hurriedly remedied, he didn't want the prince to lose a great help.

"What is the best plan for the officials?"

"The position of prince and master, I will give it to you! At the same time, the crown prince and the prince Taibao who are loyal to the king are elected in the court! Zhao Heng said in a surprising voice.

Wang Dan was dumbfounded, the official family still looked like they would never let go just now, why did they suddenly become so fast?

"But after the prince is in power, the third division of the prince will take the initiative to resign, and he will be supervised by the imperial history!"

Sure enough, it was about the same as he imagined.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Wang Dan knelt down and bowed: "The official family is wise, from now on, there will be an old and heavy minister to assist the prince, and there will be no phenomenon of civil servants chaotic government!" In this way, it will continue for eternity! ”

"When will the prince learn to walk his beard?"

Wang Dan said with a smile: "From Kou Laoxi, Ding is the one!" ”

"Ding Wei is talented, don't talk about him like that." Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile.

Wang Dan sighed: "How many literati have been inspired by the official family's poem "Encouragement of Learning". It's a pity that those who are outstanding are not necessarily talented! ”

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "Mingjun is not afraid!" ”

Looking at Zhao Heng's confident appearance, Wang Dan really didn't say much.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Wang Dan changed the topic and said: "Aren't the officials curious why the old minister wants to ...... in person?"

"I don't know your mind? It must be the prince's talent! The prince has a heart of love for talents and sees hope! Zhao Heng said with a little meaning.

In fact, it was very different from what he guessed, Wang Dan smiled bitterly: "The official family really understands the old minister, the prince has a mellow nature, a young man is benevolent, judging from this incident, he already has the ability to deal with the crisis, and the most important thing is that he is only eight years old!"

The old minister didn't believe the rumors, but now it seems that the official family is really the reincarnation of the immortals, otherwise how could such a unicorn be born? ”

Wang Dan's words hit Zhao Heng's heart, and he had also thought about it before, whether Zhao Zhen's talent had something to do with his immortal father?

Although he didn't believe in pills or anything now, it didn't hinder his beliefs.

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, Wang Dan just said it casually, but in Zhao Heng's heart, he took it seriously!

A simple chat between the two gentlemen and ministers set a series of things, which seemed to be breezy and calm, but it was the result of careful consideration by the two.

But! Fate is unpredictable, and whether their plan will work or not can only wait for the test of time.
