Chapter 792: Chess Piece, Chess Piece
There are countless mediocre and mediocre lords in history, and the remaining monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty since Song Xiaozong are becoming more and more mediocre, and there is almost no one who can make people slightly impressed in governing the country and the country.
Whether a mediocre or mediocre monarch does not mean that they do not want to be the lord of the day, or even that their ambition to become a monarch is still at the top of the list compared to other rivals they are qualified to compete.
But the reason why they became mediocre and mediocre after ascending to the throne is entirely because they don't have that responsibility at all, what they care about is the unrestrainedness after becoming a monarch, and the feeling of self-esteem in the world.
As for the political affairs of the court, they are not interested, they have neither the ability nor the heart to focus on the political affairs of the court and the society of the country.
For today's saint Zhao Dan, he is such a monarch, he hopes to become a king, but what he likes is the scenery and unrestrained after getting the throne, what he likes is to do whatever he wants for the emperor, and the feeling that the ministers bow down and the whole world is in his hands.
As for the political affairs of the court, obviously, he is not very interested, he is only interested in one thing, that is, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today.
As for the safety of the country and the turmoil in the court, whether it will lead to the extinction of the Zhao and Song clans, he will not think about it, and he doesn't want to think about it, after all, when the Great Song Dynasty was a hundred times more dangerous than he is now, he was able to survive tenaciously, and then continue to live a life of luxury and pleasure in a corner of peace.
What's more, now that the imperial court has recovered the Beidi Fourth Road and Jingzhaofu Road, there are those who can conquer and fight habitually, and those who want to raise the pen to calm the world, in his heart, Zhao Ruyu's clan is like his right-hand man, and he is fully capable of helping him govern the Great Song Dynasty.
And because of the relationship between the clan, he can also trust him unconditionally and entrust him with some important things.
The main strong minister is weak, the main weak minister is strong, almost like the iron law of history, in thousands of years of history, it is almost difficult to see the prosperity of the two and strong, and even if there is such a prosperous era, but once it comes to the end, you will find that there is always a side of the end is very miserable, so that every time you think about it, you have to sigh.
In the Funing Palace, when Li Fengniang walked out, it was when Zhao Ruyu was waiting at the door, so as Li Fengniang left after Zhao Ruyu saluted, Zhao Ruyu walked into the Funing Hall quickly.
originally thought that when he met the queen Li Fengniang at the gate of the main hall, the queen should have discussed with herself and revealed a few words about the saint's call to enter the palace, but Li Fengniang didn't say a word, which made Zhao Ruyu, who entered the hall, begin to figure out again in his heart, and the saint hurriedly ordered himself to enter the palace.
Compared with facing Li Fengniang, the saint Zhao Duan at this time is obviously much more calm, unwilling to govern and dislike the court, it does not mean that this monarch is a stupid person with a hard IQ.
Therefore, Zhao Dan's weakness in front of Li Fengniang has nothing to do with his IQ, and he was completely suppressed by Li Fengniang's strength from the beginning, so that even after becoming the emperor, he still can't turn over and be the "master".
"You take a look at this first." Zhao Dian threw the piece he had just shown to Li Fengniang to Zhao Ruyu again.
Zhao Ruyu, who was stunned for a moment, took the piece respectfully with curiosity in his eyes, and when he saw the familiar handwriting in the first line, and when he was about to be familiar enough to recite the content, Zhao Ruyu could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart.
"It's just God helping me, it's worth it to feast King Qing in the mansion before leaving." Zhao Ruyu was secretly active in his heart, in his opinion, King Qing was doing this completely to help him.
Although King Qing didn't know that he had coveted the position of Zuo Xiang for a long time, King Qing was able to send the two of them together, and the saint hurriedly ordered him to enter the palace, which was like doing him a great favor Zhao Ruyu.
In the past two days, the Han family is taking advantage of the festive atmosphere of the first day because of the fact that Han Yanzhou is about to go on an expedition, and the house is full of courtiers from top to bottom, who are seeing off Han Yanxuan for the future of the Yuan Dynasty, so Zhao Ruyu is sure that now King Qing impeached Liu Dexiu for corruption on Huainan East Road, and the Han family must not know.
"What do you think about this?" Zhao Dian sat back on the dragon chair, looked at Zhao Ruyu with some royal momentum and asked.
"Back to the Holy Lord, Minister...... The minister also has a copy of the same piece here, both from the hands of King Qing. Zhao Ruyu said as he handed his share of the cantata, along with the one that Zhao Dian threw to him, to the eunuch next to him.
As the eunuch next to him handed the two identical pieces to Zhao Dian, Zhao Duan just pretended to flip through them at random, since Zhao Ruyu said so, then these two pieces, or Zhao Ruyu's part, could not be fake.
"I have always come to see the King of Chongqing, after all, King Qing is my brother, and I believe he will not lie to me. Just like you, the right minister, you are my most trusted minister in the court, so what do you think the right minister should do? Zhao Dian asked with a relaxed expression.
"Back to the saint, the minister thought that since King Qing only gave the saint and his ministers this impeachment of Liu Dexiu, it has already been explained that King Qing, who is now on Huainan East Road, does not believe in Huainan East Road to appease Ye Qing, otherwise, King Qing should have told Ye Qing as soon as possible. So....... Zhao Ruyu almost didn't give Zhao Dian a chance to ask, and continued to speak: "So the minister thinks that Liu Dexiu was recommended by Zuo Xiang Han Cheng back then, so naturally this matter must not be allowed to involve Lord Zuo Xiang, and although Ye Qing is the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, he has the right to judge the officialdom of Huainan East Road, but King Qing's recital has also explained that King Qing is worried that Ye Qing and Liu Dexiu's officials are protecting and colluding. Moreover, the minister also received this recital, and the minister is now in the position of the right minister, so please ask the Holy Decree that the minister will judge the case. ”
"So you will be sentenced, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai are afraid that it is not easy to explain, of course, you do have your authority as the right minister, but is it a thin person?" Zhao Dan's words don't seem to be from his heart, but like he is reciting someone else's words.
Zhao Ruyu listened to Zhao Dan's mechanical words, and didn't think much about anything else at this time, not to mention that what Zhao Dian said was indeed true, plus he was a right minister, although he had the recital given to him by King Qing in his hand, but it was indeed a little thin.
Zhao Ruyu, who was in a hurry, took advantage of the interval between the replies, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, Dali Temple was like a judicial yamen in Ye Qing's hands, and he must not be allowed to participate, otherwise, it is likely that such a credit will be snatched away by Ye Qing at that time.
And Yushitai has always been close to Shi Miyuan, although the supervising Yushi has died in the Northern Expedition, but the other Yushi and Shi Miyuan, who is full of copper smell, still have the same smell, so letting Yushitai participate in it is not good for him Zhao Ruyu.
So the only one who can participate in it is Qian Xiangzu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, not to mention how this person is, with the prestige of the Qian family in the Lin'an area, as well as the relationship with the Zhao Song clan, including all kinds of connections before the succession of the saint, it is worthy of him Zhao Ruyu to recommend him to judge the case with him.
What's more, for him, this is not the first time he has dealt with Qian Xiangzu, after all, when he supported the saint to ascend the throne, Qian Xiangzu has always appeared in the prince's mansion, so Zhao Ruyu led Qian Xiangzu to judge the case as the right minister and the clan, which can be said to be beneficial and disadvantageous for him.
Qian Xiangzu is naturally no stranger to today's saint Zhao Dan, after all, when he was still the crown prince, he was already his person, and what is even more commendable is that the Qian family has never participated in any party struggle above the court since the Song Dynasty, so he is naturally willing to assist Zhao Ruyu in this sect errand, he is naturally a hundred willing and rest assured.
"But if it is...... What should Ye Qing do if this matter is involved? After Zhao Ruyu finished getting excited, he began to think that the officialdom of Huainan East Road, which was as strong as an iron bucket, was not like other roads, which could let the officials sent do whatever they wanted in their place.
Zhao Dan held the teacup, looked at the tea leaves floating inside, and thought for a while: "What do you think?" ”
"The minister thinks that since King Qing's recital does not mention Ye Qing, and he does not suspect Ye Qing's involvement, so the minister thinks that whether Ye Qing is implicated in this matter still needs to be carefully verified, and before that, before there is conclusive evidence, the minister thinks that it is best not to alarm Ye Qing." Zhao Ruyu said with a calculation in his heart.
After all, what he wants to weaken through this matter is Han Cheng's prestige above the court, there is no need to offend Ye Qing after offending Han Cheng because of Liu Dexiu's incident, if this is the case, then he Zhao Ruyu doesn't have to toss hard, he directly washed his neck and waited to be slaughtered by the two of them.
It was precisely because he thought of the consequences that if he offended the two of them, he would force the two to unite, so after getting Zhao Dian's approval, Zhao Ruyu, when he walked out of the Funing Palace, couldn't help but start thinking, why couldn't he secretly unite with Ye Qing because of this matter, and treat Ye Qing as one of his pawns, and even use it as a shield for Han Cheng's attack and revenge in the future?
Liu Dexiu is Han Cheng's person, and he was sent by the prefect of Yangzhou in the officialdom of Huainan East Road, presumably Ye Qing would never want to see that Liu Dexiu has been in Yangzhou, stopping at his feet like a dead dog, or like Han Cheng's eyes, monitoring his every move on Huainan East Road all the time.
And the reason why Liu Dexiu has always been able to be safe and sound in Yangzhou, Zhao Ruyu analyzed that in addition to Liu Dexiu's cautiousness and not being caught by Ye Qing, it is Ye Qing's focus on Huainan East Road in recent years, most of which has been placed on the Northern Expedition, so he tolerated Liu Dexiu to stay in Yangzhou.
Therefore, if he only needs to reveal a little sign to Ye Qing, then with Ye Qing's shrewdness, he must be able to see what he means, and he has no reason to refuse to cooperate with him and help him remove a thorn in the side of Huainan East Road!
Zhao Ruyu, who gradually walked out of the palace, thought about his plans and plans, but the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he didn't notice at all that Guan Li, who had been going to the Lonely Mountain Garden for a long time, had just passed by him and walked straight in the direction of the Funing Palace.
