Chapter 653: Su Xiang's Promise?
The whole book, the fastest update to win the latest chapter!
Su Xinghai is nearly sixty years old this year, and in terms of the seniority of the cabinet, he and Duan Tanglin are the oldest.
Of course, their so-called division of the chamber is no longer the same as the Dai Gao era, when Dai Gao was the first assistant, Dai Gao can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and the big and small things in the court and the central government have to be implemented with Dai Xiang's nod, and the cabinet at that time was the real cabinet.
Su Xinghai and Duan Tanglin were both prime ministers introduced into the cabinet by Dai Gao, and they almost didn't have any say in Dai Gao's era! After Dai Gao, the crown prince supervised the country, the king of Qin participated in politics, and the cabinet disappeared overnight, and the king of Qin and the prince directly spared the cabinet to give orders in the face of the six ministries, and Emperor Xinde often issued orders directly without going through the cabinet deliberations, and the position of the cabinet became awkward.
But thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi, and now there is suddenly no prince in the capital, Emperor Xinde is obsessed with cultivating immortals and asks, such a big Dakang country, can government affairs be slack for a day?
For a while, the cabinet became hot again, and the importance of Su Xinghai, the first assistant, directly climbed, so that in recent years, he has stayed up late day and night until the third watch in recent days, but he is still in good spirits and full of energy.
The cabinet, Menzi came to report, saying that Lu Zheng, the secretary of the ministry, came to visit, and Su Xinghai hurriedly said: "Hurry, please!" Please, Lord Lu! ”
"Su Xiang, boy Lu Zheng has come to greet you!" Lu Zheng walked in from the outside with a smile, and looked at his appearance, wearing a purple official robe, smiling and polite.
Su Xinghai was in a trance for a while, according to the rules of the Dakang Dynasty, those in purple robes need to be on the third grade. And the third-grade officials are more than fifty years old, and it is extremely rare for someone like Lu Zheng to wear a purple robe at a young age.
Lu Zheng was wearing a purple robe, and there was an elegant and chic temperament in his seriousness, which made people feel comfortable when they looked at it, Su Xinghai couldn't help but praise: "What a young man, ambition is not old, and the ancients are honest and not deceive!" ”
Su Xinghai's mood was obviously excellent, and he shouted at the waiters outside: "Hurry up and serve tea, take the tea before the rain!" ”
The age difference between Lu Zheng and Su Xinghai is not small, Lu Zheng is a generation later than Su Qing and Su Zhi, Su Xinghai is Lu Zheng's grandfather, but now the two are sitting as hosts and guests, where does the generation come from?
The tea came up, Su Xinghai warmly greeted Lu Zheng to drink tea, the two chatted while drinking tea, the atmosphere was very harmonious, Su Xinghai said: "The hero is a young man, recently the officials heard that the weather has been greatly changed, and it has a new look, and all parties have received rave reviews, Lu Zheng, you are a good scholar!" ”
Su Xinghai's words gave Lu Zheng a lot of affirmation, in fact, this is not his affirmation, it is true that after Lu Zheng went to the ministry, he showed everyone's expectations, and he quickly grasped the situation.
You must know that the two squires in the Ministry are not ordinary people, especially Duan Zhengxian, whose background is very deep, Su Xinghai and him feel a little difficult to wrestle, but after Lu Zheng took the position, he mastered the situation in just a few months, and Duan Zhengxian didn't see much of a wave, to put it bluntly, Su Xinghai was still very surprised!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Duan Zheng is an old opponent of Su Xinghai, his age is slightly younger than Su Xinghai, but the two have been officials in the court for about the same number of years, and there is another point, that is, the Duan family and the Su family are both wealthy and powerful lords in the capital, and the two families have been wrestling openly and secretly since the founding of the Dakang Dynasty!
Su Xinghai has gradually grasped power as the first assistant recently, but the Qin King on the side of the Sixth Department has been in operation for a long time, and there is another key point, that is, Su Xinghai is still facing the constraints of Duan Tanglin on the cabinet side, and Su Xinghai is also under pressure.
Duan Zhengxian and Duan Tanglin are both members of the Duan family, although they are a little discordant internally, but there is no doubt about their unity when they are united with the outside world! In this case, Su Xinghai needs a helper!
Lu Zheng tasted the tea and praised it: "Good tea!" Su Xinghai said: "This tea is a special tribute from Jiannan Dao, and His Majesty's old ministers are fond of this mouthful and rewarded in private!" If you like it, I'll ask someone to pack a pack for you later and take it home, so you can taste it more when you go home! ”
Lu Zheng was also not polite, and said, "Then you are polite Su Xiang!" I didn't mean anything else when I came to visit Su Xiang today, just to make a statement! At present, there is no backbone in Beijing, the king of Qi and the king of Qin have gone out to fight for the country, and the Dakang Dynasty has so many provinces and so many places under its jurisdiction, and the government affairs are heavy, and our six departments cannot divide and rule, so the burden on the cabinet side must be very important.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion outside, saying that the battle for the first assistant of the cabinet is fierce, in the opinion of the boy Lu Zheng, what is there to fight for the first assistant of the cabinet? We are all on an errand for Your Majesty, and there is no doubt that Your Majesty appointed you as the first assistant, since this is the case, Su Xiang, you should pick up the burden.
I don't dare to say much about other departments, but our ministry is absolutely full of strength, and only Su Xiangma is the first to look forward! ”
As soon as Lu Zheng said this, the audience was silent, Su Xinghai was stunned, and ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. Lu Zheng said this bluntly, but the more straightforward it was at this time, the more urgent it was for Su Xinghai.
Su Xinghai calculated in his heart that there was a great chance to win Lu Zheng among the six departments, because Lu Zheng had a close relationship with the Su family, he was a student of Su Qing, and he had a lot of intersections with Su Zhi, no matter which aspect, he should stand on Su Xinghai's side.
But after all, political things involve interests, everything is an exchange of interests, there has never been support for no reason, let alone no reason to send charcoal in the snow, Su Xinghai needs Lu Zheng's support, what benefits can he give Lu Zheng in turn? If not, why should Lu Zheng support him?
Su Xinghai took advantage of Lu Zheng's tea to drink tea, he had been secretly thinking about this matter in his heart, he had faintly come up with some ideas, and was ready to take this opportunity to say it slowly, but he didn't expect Lu Zheng to have such a direct and refreshing attitude, which made him feel very surprised.
"Lu Zheng, a young hero, a young talent, it's really true!" Su Xinghai praised, he said: "Lu Zheng, since you say so, I, as an elder, don't hide it, the situation in the capital has changed a lot recently, not only for you and me, but even for our Su family and your Lu family, this is a challenge, but also an opportunity!"
You can come here today, which shows that you and I have similar political views, and you and I both hope that Dakang will be prosperous! In that case, I'll land at the door of the house and walk around with your grandfather more! The Lu family has suffered too many grievances over the years, and it's time to turn around! ”
When Su Xinghai said this, his promise to Lu Zheng was very clear, that is, Lu Zheng supported him, and Su Xinghai let the Lu family take root in the capital, which meant too much to the Lu family.
Just imagine that over the years, several wealthy families in the capital, the Zhang family that has been finished, not to mention, just the Gu family and the Chen family, they have moved their families to the capital, how have they ever gained a firm foothold in the capital over the years?
The capital is not an ordinary place, it is not easy to act here, and now Su Xinghai has agreed to the Lu family, which means that the Lu family can take root in the capital, and this time the Lu family can return to the industry of the powerful and wealthy families, I have to say that Su Xinghai's promise is indeed very tempting.
However, from Lu Zheng's point of view, he doesn't care very much, whether the Lu family can rise Lu Zheng doesn't care about it now, because now the situation of Dakang is becoming more and more complicated, if Dakang is compared to a boat, then there are more and more variables about where the ship is heading, so Lu Zheng attaches more importance to practical interests.
However, Lu Zheng will not ask Su Xinghai for these interests, because in the current situation in the capital, Su Xinghai is the best to take the lead, because no matter whether the King of Qin or the King of Qi triumphs, after they come back, there will be new changes in the political situation of Dakang, in that situation, Su Xinghai is the one who is on the cusp, and Lu Zheng is a spectator who hides behind and watches coldly.
Compared with the so-called benefits in the front, Lu Zheng is more concerned about the possibility in the back! Lu Zheng is now very jealous of Emperor Xinde, he is too afraid that His Majesty will push him to the forefront!
Think about Lu Zheng's experience, he went to Beiyan on the cusp, after the prince rebelled, Emperor Xinde worshiped Lu Zheng as the head of the counterinsurgency, responsible for exterminating the traitors, which is on the cusp again!
Lu Zheng knows very well that standing on the cusp of the limelight seems to be chic, but in fact, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe......
Now that Su Xinghai is in front and Lu Zheng is hiding behind, there will be drastic changes in the future, and Lu Zheng can at least avoid the limelight, which is extremely important to him......
