Chapter Seventy-Seven: Intercession (2-in-1)
Song Jing brought the topic back, he was still the prime minister of the dynasty, and his age and seniority were the first of all.
A word also stopped the frolic between friends.
Wang Hui said excitedly: "What Song Xiang said is not unreasonable, but they are involved in opposing Your Majesty, and they really deserve it, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to deal with it." ”
Compared with Song Jing, Wang Hui's words were not so polite.
Song Jing is the seventh grandson of Song Ben, the official of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the Song family is not a famous family, but it also has a lot of background, especially his wife is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, and she speaks a little conservatively.
Wang Hui did not have this concern, he lost his father at an early age, raised by his grandfather Wang Youfang, bold and expansive by nature, diligent and studious, Xianheng for three years, admitted to the Ming Classics, was awarded the Qingyuan County Lieutenant, from a small county lieutenant, step by step to today's prince Zhan Shi, tired of Zhongshan County Duke. He has today's achievement, all on his own, without any reliance, and naturally without any scruples.
Among the four people invited by Zhang Shuo, Song Jing, Su Ying, and Zhang Jiazhen are all prime ministers.
Only Wang Hui is not, but he has a very good relationship with Song Jing and Zhang Shuo.
Zhang said that once he became prime minister, Wang Hui would be promoted, and his rise was a matter of course.
Compared with a few of them, Wang Hui's temperament is also more strong.
Because he, like Pei Min, belongs to both civil and military talents, that is, he can lead troops to fight, he can also govern places, and quote scriptures.
He has come to this point by virtue of his military exploits, so he is not the slightest polite to the clan involved in the rebel organization.
"You can't say that!" Su Ying twisted his beard and said: "Judging from the evidence, many people involved in it, not many of them really know the details. Most of them just know that starting with the four major families, each with the resources in their hands, they will cultivate organizational talents and set up an unknown organization to restore the glory of the past. Their group of people, to use a common saying, is to let lard blind their hearts, they know that the family is the biggest, as long as it is beneficial to the family, no matter what the overall situation is, it leads to this ending...... But they have a great fault, and they have no intention of defending them. But if you really want to kill them all, if you don't talk about chaos in this world, people will inevitably be panicked. It even makes it difficult to implement politics and law, and it is the people of Datang who are ...... to suffer."
Su Ting's words are definitely not alarmist, but they are true.
Whether a court political and legal system can operate accurately and whether it can be effectively implemented depends not on the high-ranking prime minister, nor on the six books, but on a group of small and medium-level officials.
The prime minister, the six scholars, and even the emperor, officials at this level are all decision-makers.
Middle- and lower-level officials are the real enforcers of politics and law, and it is up to them whether or not government decrees can run smoothly.
This is also the reason why the Taizong Dynasty and the Gaozong Dynasty, the prime ministers and key officials of the Ming Dynasty, are not members of the five families, but they have no choice but to do anything about the major wealthy families.
The control of the wealthy family has never been the prime minister's officials, but a group of middle- and lower-level officials.
Through recommendations, through doors, and through the connections accumulated over thousands of years, they assign family members to various places to serve as middle- and lower-level officials.
Once these officials strike, it will bring the Tang Dynasty to a halt, and the consequences will be extremely serious.
It is true that Wu Zetian recreated the family through bloody means, and continued to use a large number of poor disciples to make up for the vacancy.
But in the past 20 years, the wealthy family has faintly recovered again.
Now that many of the local officials are provided by the family, if they are really liquidated one by one, they will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Therefore, Zhang Jiazhen also echoed: "That's the truth, the front car is covered, and the rear car is ringed." How can you ignore the bright examples in front of you? ”
At that time, Wu Zetian liquidated the family, and the results were gratifying. But if you really want to calculate it, it has also caused a certain amount of harm to the country.
Especially at that time, cool officials were rampant, and Wu Zetian let go of recruiting officials, so that the officials from small and medium-sized landlords and the children of poor families who had to take over the posts had uneven personalities. As a result, the bureaucracy has increased dramatically, and the burden on the people has increased.
After the Shu landlords came to power, together with the original gate valve clans, they doubled down on the exploitation of the common people, making the trend of land annexation more vigorous, seriously undermining the system of equalizing land, and further deepening the contradictions.
During the Wu Zhou period, the military was weak, of course, because Wu Zetian killed famous generals indiscriminately, and another reason was the destruction of the Juntian system.
The serious destruction of the Juntian system meant the collapse of the government military system.
This soldier is not strong, how can he win the battle?
However, with the momentum of the family at that time, Wu Zetian's approach still outweighed his faults.
But now that the family is weak and the cold family is also rising, in this case, it is not a wise move to use a knife and kill the family.
Zhang said: "In terms of the overall situation, it is indeed enough. But who do you say is not good for the Cui family to move, but to move Pei Guogong? I don't want to think about it, Pei Guogong can move when he says he can? As far as Pei Guogong's merits and his status in His Majesty's heart are concerned, we may not be able to match them together. Anyway, His Majesty was very annoyed by this matter, and Long Yan was furious. If you really want to mention this to him, you will definitely be anxious with us. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I agree with you below, but I'm not sure how to convince Your Majesty, so I ask you to discuss and sum it up. ”
They don't know the process of the false accusation and rebellion, but even if the news is blocked, it is impossible to hide it from Song Jing and Zhang Shuo, the prime ministers, and they all know about it.
Song Jing said again: "Now the situation in our dynasty is very good, and in more than ten years, it will not be a problem to surpass Taizong and Gaozong, and we will definitely leave a name in history when the time comes." If this matter is not handled properly, even if it does not hinder the general trend of the world, it will be a big stain. ”
And he said this, and the hearts of the people went away.
This man has selfish motives.
Duplicate names are a common problem for almost all literati.
To be able to go down in history without stain is to do what you dream of.
"But it's just His Majesty's temper......"
Everyone also understood this truth, and when they thought of Li Longji's selfish temperament, they were helpless for a while.
Su Ying said: "In my opinion, we can't get anything out of our discussions here. This heart disease also needs a heart medicine doctor, and the key point in this matter lies in Pei Guogong, only he can handle this matter well. ”
Song Jing said: "I have also thought about this method, but it was falsely accused of rebellion, who can see it?" Who can endure what happens to them? This slander that is full of evil, and I can't bear it if it were me. ”
"Yes!" Wang Hui echoed: "What Song Xiang said is reasonable, and everyone knows what Pei Guogong said. He regards his mother as filial piety, and if he is alone, it is better to say, this is a disaster! ”
A few people thought about it and said many ideas and methods, but to no avail.
In the end, I still felt that finding Pei Min was the only and best way.
Zhang said with a headache: "No matter what, let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, I'm thinking about other ways." A few of us wrote a prayer post together, and acted as a lobbyist together, hoping that he would sell us a few thin noodles. ”
"That's it!" Song Jing, Su Ying, Zhang Jiazhen, and Wang Hui said yes together.
For Pei Min, they don't dare to guarantee that they will sell their face.
Of course, all of them are high-ranking and powerful, as well as the prime minister and vice minister of the current dynasty.
But Pei Min's status and identity are not inferior to them at all, and he is also a generation of Wenzong.
If you want to ignore them, you can ignore them, and if you don't want to pay attention to them, they are helpless.
One by one, they all wrote the greeting posts seriously and sent them to Pei's mansion.
**********
Late at night, Pei Mansion!
Pei Min caressed the delicate body of his beloved wife Jiao Chen, helped her soothe the charm afterwards, said love words in her ear, and said in a greasy voice: "I really can't bear you to go, why don't you stay and stay for a few more days?" ”
Jiao Chen gave a wink and said, "It's dragged on day by day, and it's all dragged on." ”
Since she gave birth to Little Seven and Little Eight, she has taken care of the two little ones almost every inch.
Now it's the first time I've left, and it's been more than a month, and I want to spoil the child in my heart.
But Pei Min didn't allow her to leave and forced her to stay.
Over the years, because of the need to take care of the little seven and eight, Pei Min and Jiao Chen's sexual affairs have been restrained, and they are worried that they will quarrel with the two little guys, and they can't let go in front of their children.
It's rare that the guy who gets in the way is not there, and he can live a two-person world, Pei Min naturally has no scruples.
He is not yet thirty this year, it is when he is young and strong, he knows the taste of marrow, and he is happy every night, where is he willing to let Jiao Chen leave.
"The concubine body misses the little seven and the eight too much!"
Jiao Chen is also reluctant, the self-enjoyment of this boudoir pleasure is not as good as mother's love after all.
"Okay!" Pei Min looked stupid.
Jiao Chen couldn't help but said: "Then stay a few more days, anyway, Xiaoqi Xiaoba has Aunt Yan to take care of, and teachers like Zhang Jiuling and Wang Wei will guide their studies, and they will not be in the way." ”
Pei Min was overjoyed, kissed the white and tender cheek, and laughed happily.
Jiao Chen said: "It's a matter here, marry Miss You into the door as soon as possible." In this way, you don't have to grieve yourself, no one takes care of you. ”
Pei Min said with a little eyebrows: "It's almost over, you didn't see the few greetings I received today, the four prime ministers and one prince Zhan Shi are all characters who stomped on the court and made the court tremble." One by one, they begged to come to the door, but they wanted it. This matter can be regarded as an end. Miss Yu also said that this time you can go into the cold with me. ”
Jiao Chen snorted: "Forgive them so easily, and it will cheapen them." ”
For a traditional woman, her husband and children are her heaven and earth.
Jiao Chen is such a woman, she can give everything to those who intend to harm her family.
No matter how poisonous and ruthless she is, she doesn't think it's too much.
This is also a real woman, not the Virgin, the White Lotus.
Pei Min said: "How can it be so easy to cheapen them? Is it true that your husband has no temper? It's just that there are some things that can't be forced. There is no need to kill them all, to harm others and not to benefit oneself, and to bring disaster to the world. Isn't it beautiful to have to pay the price for their husbands, but also to do something for the world, in exchange for their own good name and counting birds with one stone? ”
He hugged Jiao Chen and slept beautifully.
At the end of the next day, Song Jing, Su Ting, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Shuo, and Wang Hui came to Pei's Mansion as promised.
Pei Min asked them to be invited into the living room.
In the face of such a luxurious lineup, Pei Min naturally had to blow up with them.
Talk about each other's deeds as a sign of respect.
Everyone took their seats, and Song Jing, as the prime minister, was the first to explain his intentions: "Pei Gong! ”
He is directly referred to as "Pei Gong".
Pei Gong, Pei Guogong!
A word difference, but the meaning is a thousand miles away.
Song Jing is over 60 years old this year, and when he is the prime minister of the dynasty, there are very few people in the world who can be so respectfully called by him.
"In a certain life, it is very rare to convince people, but Pei Gong is one. This time, it was you who persuaded His Majesty to change his mind, right? If there is no national government, I don't know how much unnecessary consumption will be lost. Pei Gong's intelligence and responsibility are really admirable. ”
Pei Min said "pass the award", but there was not much color on his face.
Now he lives a life of light cars and leather belts, brocade clothes and fine food.
But how did this life come about?
It is worshiped by the people of the world, and what is not good is the people's fat and people's ointment.
Every Tongbao he spends is the blood and sweat of the people.
Don't forget to dig wells.
It can make the people get some benefits, so that they are worthy of being worshiped by the people.
If you talk about it, you can save a lot of money. In Pei Min's opinion, it is a matter of duty, and there is nothing to be proud of.
Song Jing continued: "In front of the Ming people, don't say code words. Today we are here for the family, not to intercede for them, but we really feel that it is enough to punish them. If you really want to do it to the extreme, it is not conducive to the world, and even more so to the people. ”
Pei Min smiled quietly: "Song Xiang's intention, I understand." What you say is indeed reasonable, but it is strange to say. Someone is the one who is falsely accused, and the most innocent is me. As a result, after so many days, not a single one came to apologize and make amends. They all went to your house to plead, and you said, is this a strange thing, a strange thing? ”
"When a certain person entered and exited the Imperial Historical Observatory, Cheng Gongxingzhan, the imperial historian of the year, taught a certain saying, 'The imperial historian is not a cool official, and the purpose of the imperial historical platform is not to arrest people, but to prevent official corruption with a supervision system'. In the same way, the intention of punishment is not to punish, but to make the other party know his mistake and sincerely correct it. I didn't feel the sincerity of the other party, Song Xiang thinks that this anger in a certain heart can be dissipated? ”
As he spoke, he also pointed to his heart.
Song Jing understood what Pei Min meant, and the others stopped persuading.
After a lot of talking, he said goodbye and left.
Several of them left Pei's mansion and found a restaurant nearby to meet and discuss Pei Min's intentions.
As the prime minister, Song Jing is well aware of Pei Min's influence and appeal: "It seems that Pei Gong has already planned, just waiting for others to come to the door to discuss the conditions!" There is a hunch that the family will let Guogong pull off a layer of skin this time! ”
Zhang said: "Guogong has never played cards with common sense, but he can always get miraculous results. Although I don't know what his intentions are, I have some expectations in my heart. ”
Su Ying stretched his waist easily and said, "It's none of my business, I don't have to worry about it." It's up to them to negotiate the results, and it's none of our business anyway. The root of the ear is finally able to get close. ”
"Great goodness!"
On the same day, Pei Min received many more greetings, and this time he visited the rulers of several major families.
