Chapter Ninety-Three: To Help or Not to Help
When Mo Hu asked if the telegram could be submitted, Liu Zhenghang first shook his head and said, "The cabinet will not allow it, and Taifu will definitely point this out clearly tomorrow." ”
Mo Hu nodded and said, "Go on." ”
"Another point is to show foreign powers and those 'democratic' people in China, which can be regarded as paving the way for King Hua and relieving the pressure of public opinion after King Hua came to power, after all, the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs is the head of the civil affairs hall and the head of the government, and the members of the royal family will be scolded by the world's scholars even if it is placed in ancient times."
Mo Hu said: "Well, because I was the chairman of the royal family, I caused a lot of criticism because I was the chairman of the military government. ”
Liu Zhenghang finally said: "Another point is that Your Majesty wants to see the hearts of the Taifu, you, Li Huaqian and the three princes. But none of these important ministers did not have the support of the three members of the political council and the local princes, so this time it can be regarded as a 'touchstone'. ”
Mo Hu was stunned for a moment, and when Liu Zhenghang saw Mo Hu stunned, he hurriedly said: "For the military government, there are three things to guard, one is to prevent outsiders from coming, and the other is to prevent the old man from leaving. ”
Mo Hu let out a "hmm" and asked, "What about the third?" ”
Liu Zhenghang: "The third is the most harmful to the military government, which is to enable idlers. I analyze that it is impossible for the three princes to come to the court to serve, if the Taifu gives them positions, otherwise they will go back, and the Zhaojia scene will be staged all over the country immediately; It is not terrible for outsiders to come, after all, the foundation is not deep, and the army recognizes the Lord after all; I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be idle, after all, those old generals have become famous in His Majesty's southern expedition, and they also have their own troops, this qualification and influence, you can't hold it up marshal. ”
"Enable the Idle General." Mo Hu also seemed to think of this, Liu Zhenghang understood at this moment that he should not speak at this time, and leave enough time for the leader to think.
"I remembered that when Shu Changshi first told us about His Majesty's holy decree, I mentioned this matter of leisure, and I brought it up at that time. Besides, what do you mean by 'those old generals'? There are three people in total, Shi Quan, Xia Ze, Qi Bei, Xia Ze is impossible, more than eighty. It's also Shi Quan and Qi Bei, but these two people have the case records of the 'three major cases' on their backs, I'm afraid it's not so simple to get up, don't worry. ”
Liu Zhenghang looked at the confident Mo Hu, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.
Huadu Huaxiang Palace Cabinet
"You come to see this article, the child is enlightened, it's good." Like a child, Mo Haige happily held a telegram and handed it to Wu Peihang.
Wu Peihang took it, and the title was "The People of the Boat and the People of the Sinking of the Boat".
Seeing the first half, Wu Peihang said: "This person is talented. ”
Seeing the middle, Wu Peihang said: "This son is in chaos." ”
Seeing the end, Wu Peihang glanced at the name, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "This son is dangerous." ”
"He and his father both read me a poem 'The Buddha platform is dust-free, how to sweep the dust' Now I look at it, this Buddha platform has a little dust."
Wu Peihang glanced at the telegram again, and when he saw the words 'secret telegram' printed in red on the head of the telegram, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, it is a secret telegram, and this kind of article cannot be leaked." ”
"Do you think it's well written?" Mohag asked.
Wu Peihang: "Okay, but it's too idealistic." The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. ”
Mohag smiled and asked, "The people you are talking about are the people who carry boats?" Or the people of the shipwreck? ”
"I'm afraid, the 'people' I'm talking about, Taifu, don't show me this kind of article!" Wu Peihang returned the telegram.
"I told Your Majesty this morning that I will be old, and when the new generation comes up, I will say goodbye. The position of the cabinet minister, I recommend you. Mohag said this very indifferently.
Wu Peihang shook his head and said, "I can't hold it up, and the Taifu makes fun of me again." ”
"After Your Majesty heard this, he asked me, what he asked was, has Yanhua's Yishan Palace been built?" Mohag said.
Wu Peihang smiled and said, "How can it be built?" ”
"There will be a day when it will be built." After Mo Haige finished speaking, he patted Wu Peihang on the shoulder.
This sentence let Wu Peihang know that Mo Haige was not joking.
Wu Peihang knelt on the ground and said in an extremely authentic official dialect: "I have been an official of a Maori Yakou office all the way to the present, if it were not for the support of Taifu, I would still be an official." Outsiders don't know your inappropriateness, but I know that you are now the center, you don't enjoy the center at all, but you are tired of business, the empire is too big, you are so busy alone, you can't be busy, I was taught culture by you, I was admitted to the imperial examination, and I became an official in various places, at first these people despised me as a foreigner, but it was your continuous support that gave me backbone. Outsiders say that I entered this council because I am a foreigner, and His Majesty showed it to foreigners. In fact, I know that I can be where I am today because of your support. ”
"Say no more, get up." Mo Haige stepped forward and helped Wu Peihang.
When Wu Peihang got up, his eyes were already a little red.
"Outsiders say that you are a 'smiling tiger', how can you be like a kitten now. Peihang, these five days, no matter what method you use, you have to guard it for me, Your Majesty may not let me hand over power, nor do you want me to hand over power, I can understand, but you have to understand, if I participate in these five days, I will not tell the old or not. ”
Wu Peihang said: "Taifu, are you going to 'hide'?" ”
Mohag smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty wants to vote, I naturally have to respect Your Majesty, I will not participate in these five days, and I will not make arrangements for the following." ”
Without pondering this, combined with the context before and after, Wu Peihang also understood.
What Mo Haig means is: Last time, because of Mo Longxiang's matter, he personally "ended", which made His Majesty very unhappy, and even made trouble to the point where he needed Mo Haige to tell his old age, and now in the past five days, no matter what happens, Mo Haig will not "end", everything needs Wu Peihang to come forward.
Wu Peihang changed to a Maori accent and said, "As long as Taifu trusts me, I will definitely do it." ”
Early the next morning
Early in the morning, on the royal dock of Huadu, officials at all levels gathered here to welcome King Hua's arrival in Huadu.
There is a convention in the empire, called "shallow send-off", and upgrading to the level of the imperial court is not to re-send-off, but to usher in again. The big and small officials in Huadu ranked left and right according to the requirements of the inner court, and the ones standing at the forefront were Mo Haige, Mo Hu, Wu Peihang, Li Huaqian, and Hua Tianxiong.
Keen people can see that Li Huaqian's position is different from the past, but everyone has no doubts, after all, everyone has seen the holy decree, and the more shallow officials will think: Li Huaqian's status is hanging this time.
From ranking second in the political trial committee to standing in the fourth position now, Li Huaqian is not feeling well, not only in his heart, but also physically. I got on the boat in Yanhua last night, met King Hua on the boat, communicated for about an hour, and then took a fast boat to the dock here, because the time to go home was also cumbersome, so I washed and changed my clothes at the dock on the spot, and when all this was done, Taifu's car also arrived.
endure the nausea of not sleeping all night, and show yourself as a hundred times more energetic.
High-ranking officials, there are too many things to consider.
The busy officials at the dock would come over every quarter of an hour to report the distance, and the boat should be a little closer, but for some reason, when he was about to enter the dock, King Hua ordered the expulsion of the reporters on the ship, leaving only the reporters of the "Imperial Daily".
When the reporters were driven away, Hua Wang's boat could be regarded as docking, and at this time, it was almost noon.
According to etiquette, first of all, the minister of the trial council uploaded to greet him, Wu Peihang is now mixed with the right side of Mo Haige, and he stepped forward to help Mo Haige, Mo Haige glanced at it, and nodded at Wu Peihang.
Mo Hu is fine, but in this kind of scene, he walks half a step to show respect.
Li Huaqian felt that his legs were wooden, even if he was the foundation of martial arts, he was a little trembling when he walked at the moment, and the little attendant beside him wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Li Huaqian with a look.
In this kind of scene, whether to help or not to help, is also exquisite.
Mo Haige is willing to let Wu Peihang help, just to show that he is old.
Li Huaqian was reluctant to be helped, just to show that he was not old.
According to etiquette, Mo Longxiang was wearing the clothes of a naval admiral and standing on the deck to greet the ministers of the trial council, he saw the twisted feeling of Li Huaqian's walking, and suddenly thought of Prince Gong's words: "In politics, the biggest advantage of the children of the royal family is age. Thinking of this, Mo Longxiang straightened his waist again.
When several people arrived on the boat, Mo Longxiang stepped forward to greet him, and after saluting and shaking hands, Mo Haige pointed at Mo Longxiang with joy and said: "The first fake minister, Kou is not even, and finally won the general Jinwu." ”
This sentence comes from "New Tang Dynasty Book Wang Shi Biography", Wang Shi, the general of Jinwu of Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, encountered the chaos of Ningguo, and the emperor asked him, what should I do? Wang Shi said: As long as you lend me soldiers and horses, it will not be difficult for the enemy to be pacified.
Then Mo Haig quotes this sentence here, it is very interesting, everyone on the face can understand that "the first fake soldier, Kou is not enough to peace" is a boast, the meaning is: you see, the soldiers he borrowed can calm Zhaojia's affairs; The latter sentence "Finally get the general of Jingo" contains the meaning of encouragement. But after a careful tasting, Mo Haige summed it up very well, this time Mo Longxiang borrowed troops to calm the Kou, first, to warn Mo Longxiang that you have nothing to take credit for this time, so Your Majesty will punish you, and you must be psychologically peaceful; The second is to warn the rest of the people that he does not have a private army, he is still a proton, and the people and soldiers he uses are all borrowed, and he should not be deducted from the name of raising private soldiers. The third is to remind Mo Longxiang, don't be concerned about "that position", you are at most the position of a general.
This is probably what Mo Hu often said: Taifu is going to test our books again.
Mo Haige speaks and does things, and a casual sentence is to quote the past and discuss the present, which can make people ponder carefully, and it is also powerful.
