Chapter 658: Upholding Principles

Ouyang Xiu seems to have discovered a new world at Tsinghua University, where new knowledge attracts him all the time, and for a scholar, this is heaven, and he seems to have forgotten the task given to him by Zhao Zhen.

The collision of two ideas will inevitably put one of them at a disadvantage, in order to verify which one is in a weak position, you will keep researching, to ponder, and then you slowly find that when everyone loses, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

If you can't solve this loop, you will always be stuck in it and can't get out, Ouyang Xiu can come out, then he is still the first person in the literary world, if he can't get out, this life will be over.

Lu Zifei didn't bother to dial anything, unless a person like Ouyang Xiu came out by himself, other people's opinions would be a constraint on him, and it was best if he could come out by himself.

There is a limit to a person's patience, and Lu Zifei has also heard some bad rumors recently, but it has nothing to do with him, so he didn't take it to heart, but the capital doesn't seem to be so beautiful.

The outbreak in silence was more impactful than the one on the table, the procrastination, the funds distributed by the states, the salaries of individual military camps, and a series of chain reactions finally reached the moment when they could not be suppressed.

Wang Yaochen sat at the desk with a decadent face, a yamen against the entire imperial court, and insisted for so long, it is said that he is proud enough, but he is unwilling!

"What has your brother been doing lately, since the last time he returned to Beijing, he hasn't replied to a single letter."

Liu Chu still looked shocked, as if Wang Yaochen's words had nothing to do with him, "I didn't reply to me, I felt that he was a little drifting, and he couldn't recognize himself clearly." ”

Wang Yaochen said: "What's the matter, your brother is doing a good job in Tangzhou!" The assessment of the officials is excellent, what do you mean by floating. ”

"I wrote to me from home that my brother's meeting with Lu Hou was not very pleasant, and I don't know what happened, but the letter said that my brother seemed to be a little carried away."

mentioned Lu Zifei, Wang Yaochen thought of the dispute at the beginning of the matter, he wrote a letter to ask Lu Zifei to stand on his side, but there was no news of two letters in a row, and he understood what Lu Zifei meant, I don't want to get involved, you fight slowly.

Didn't help himself, didn't help Du Yan, is it fair? It's unfair, because he is the weaker party, Lu Zifei is not in the court now, but he has a very heavy voice in the economy and money, and many people have to consider his words.

There is no if, the bank seems to have strengthened the strength of the three divisions, but it has become a stumbling block for itself, from unfamiliar to familiar This is a very long process, and the chief officer of the three divisions has not figured out the doorway until now.

"I haven't seen Lu Hou until now, what he wants to do, or what he wants, in the matter of the bank, I naively thought that he would come to the third division to help me, but as a result, people didn't take a look at it, as for your brother, let's talk about it after taking office in Tangzhou!"

Recommended, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

Liu Chu said: "Brother-in-law, the outside world has gone crazy in the struggle of the three divisions this time, what do you think." ”

Wang Yaochen rubbed his temples, "It doesn't matter what I think, the biggest surprise in this matter is the emperor, I think the emperor will support me to the end, but in reality, you have also seen it, no, the emperor also wants to know whether the three divisions are suitable for the current situation." ”

"Does that mean that the three divisions will inevitably be banned? so

A behemoth, the court is not afraid of any disorder. ”

"The three divisions have a household department, the Privy Council has a military department, their skeletons are all complete, it is nothing more than a division of labor problem, the problem of the three divisions has to rise to the level of the whole country, simply by good and bad can not be distinguished."

Liu Chu still didn't understand, "Why do you want to do this?" The tasks that the household can complete can also be done by the three divisions, all of which are the same functions, I feel that there is no difference, what is the point of everyone fighting to the death. ”

Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "That is really significant, your brother-in-law and I are purely for our official position, but the prime minister is different, if you think about the cause of this incident, they feel that the imperial power and the minister's power are not equal, beyond their bottom line, they can't tolerate it." ”

"Then the emperor should support your brother-in-law even more! Weakening imperial power does not do the emperor any good. ”

"The people in Zhongshu also underestimated the emperor's courage, so in the end, all the world saw was the confrontation between me and the East and the West."

Liu Chu is still too young, and most of what he sees is the surface of things, and he has never touched it deeply, so he can't think of it.

"There are guests here, and the lower officials will come back later." Cai Xiang said unexpectedly after coming in.

"What guest, this is my brother-in-law, Jun Mo is here?"

Cai Xiang said: "My lord, now the people of the yamen are panicking, everyone has no intention of working at all, do you come out to clarify, or to calm people's hearts, the basic normal work can not be maintained." ”

"Jun Mo, I can't hold on, the three divisions have become like this, think about what the outside world says about us, for the sake of my family, I decided to give in, there is no suspense in the stalemate."

Cai Xiang didn't expect Wang Yaochen to say such earth-shattering words, if the third division was still there, he would have a chance to take over Wang Yaochen, the third envoy, in fact, Cai Xiang in history was indeed regarded as the third envoy for three years.

"Are you really going to give up? The tens of thousands of adults in the three divisions really don't pity it at all. ”

Wang Yaochen smiled bitterly: "I can understand Jun Mo's feelings, why am I not the same?" Didn't you hear anything when you were in the capital? The book and the Privy Council have joined forces, and we have no chance of winning. ”

The boiled duck flew, Cai Xiang didn't feel good in his heart! Many people asked him to contact his son-in-law and let his son-in-law do a hand behind his back, he felt that it was unnecessary, how could the court be so dizzy that he banned the three divisions, but now it has become a reality, and he can't accept it.

"Is it really irretrievable? We still have a backhand, and we still have the capital to save our lives! My lord, you just gave up so easily? ”

Wang Yaochen said: "At what point has it really been, does Jun Mo think that you and I will have a good end?" I did what I could, I did my best, really, I did my best. ”

Compared with the depressed atmosphere of the three divisions, Zhongshu is much more relaxed here, victory is in sight, why are they unhappy? The months of struggle are just around the corner, and there's nothing wrong with celebrating early.

"There won't be any more moths on the third side! It's still Du Xiang. Zhang Dexiang cheekily slapped a sycophant, and it was a little difficult for him to pat the sycophant at this age.

The others rolled their eyes, let's make a face, it's okay, it's a person in his sixties, He Shaoyuan sat there motionless like a Buddha, Song Qi looked at it and laughed, in fact, he didn't know where he had flown to.

Du Yan: Yes

What these people think in their hearts is even clearer than themselves, the fall of the third division, then Du Yan, the prime minister, will come to an end, this is the same as what he said before he did this, I gamble with my career.

"There is one thing that I have to make clear here no matter what, no matter how we fight with the three divisions, it will not involve Wang Yaochen, if you don't understand this, I advise you to put away your dirty thoughts earlier."

This is a warning, don't bring the grievances of the court to personal attacks, the defeat of the third division has little to do with Wang Yaochen, it is the defeat of the third division, and it is deeper that I step down, don't try to hold on to my previous affairs.

"Of course, Wang Yaochen still has the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fight against us for so long."

Who will be his successor, Du Yan also thought about it, Song Qi is a little young, and he may not be able to suppress these old fritters when he comes to power, if he can serve another term in the Privy Council, then the most suitable candidate for prime minister will not work now.

He Shaoyuan has enough qualifications, he was the secretary of the criminal department before he participated in political affairs, but he is a little old, and he is obviously unable to deal with government affairs.

Zhang De is like a jumping joy, but this person's pattern is too small, he must be repaid, he is not suitable to be the prime minister, and a prime minister who takes power is not suitable, so there are only a handful of people left, Wen Yanbo is counted as one, and the probability is also the largest, and the royal history is still not qualified enough, and Yin Wang Gongchen and Song Qi of Kaifeng Mansion are facing the same problem.

I have the right to recommend, and the emperor's meaning cannot be ignored, but if the emperor asks him, who should he recommend?

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, the messenger arrived at the door of the political hall, Du Yan asked several deputy prime ministers to do their own things, and when he came to the vertical arch hall, he saw that Wang Yaochen was actually there.

Is the emperor going to end this struggle? I'm tired, I'm afraid Wang Yaochen won't be easy!

"Du Aiqing, Wang Qing said that the three divisions are not in line with the current national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, and I want the household department to make decisions on the finances of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, what do you think?"

The emperor's words are to give the two of them a step, there is no need to take care of anything, both parties are here, isn't it exactly what he expects to solve it completely?

"The minister thinks that this is the best, the rights of the household department and the three divisions are intertwined, and many functions and powers overlap, and it is good for the work and the court to make decisions by a yamen."

"Very well, so be it! Announce it to us again tomorrow morning, and you can make the household department mentally prepared for this handover. ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, Wang Yaochen's heart was complicated, how could Zhao Zhen and Du Yan not be? A yamen that had been appointed by Taizu for a hundred years was decided by three people in this way, and no one could have imagined it!

Wang Yaochen didn't know how to get out of the vertical arch hall, the third division was the highlight of his political career, but also a failure, and he didn't know what the indescribable emotions were, anyway, it was just a sentence, uncomfortable.

As for where to go in the future, in that position, he doesn't care so much now, he lost his prestige, he lost his career, but he doesn't regret it.

When I got home, my wife asked, "Is there a result?"

"The emperor has decided"

"Why don't you just give up in the first place? You've lost weight all this time. ”

"What do you know, you have to be principled to be a man, and insisting on this matter is my principle as an official."
