Chapter 637: Old Treacherous Slippery
"Shengshang, Song Zheng has just joined the right division, and in just a few months, he has achieved such good results, which is indeed gratifying and congratulatory to the latest chapter of the transformation clothes. It can be seen that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother entrusted him with the post of right supervisor, and he has the wisdom to know people. ”
As soon as Huang Yuandu spoke, there was no movement in the hall, and everyone was waiting for this Xiangye to make a move. You must know that this time to impeach Song Zheng, although Huang Yuandu himself did not play the concert, he knew that he was behind the scenes, otherwise, it would not have been possible to have such a big momentum. As for whether Huang Yuandu really praised Song Zheng, which one in the hall was not an old fox, and everyone knew how to suppress the first promotion.
Huang Jiao calmed down and resumed her posture of sitting upright. The little emperor has also been in the court for so many years, and he will not be overjoyed by Huang Yuandu's praise.
"Fighting corruption is a top priority for the country. As the prime minister, the minister was ashamed to neglect to inspect Lin Han and his ilk, so the minister asked the queen mother and the saint for their guilt. ”
Song Zheng scolded secretly in his heart, he had never heard of the prime minister being punished because of a few corrupt officials, this old thief first praised people, and then blamed himself, it was clearly pretending to win the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, Huang Jiao spoke, "The prime minister handles the affairs of a country, and his hard work is high. Lin Han and others were greedy and had nothing to do with the prime minister. ”
"Empress Dowager Xie is considerate!" Huang Yuandu got off the donkey, "Ranchen is always uneasy. The minister has been thinking about it these days, Lin Han, Zhu Xiyi and others have a huge amount of corruption, although they have not yet been put into practice, but their crimes seem to be beyond their reach. Now as soon as the right division made a move, it was found out at once, so that the people were full of rumors, and it seemed that there were no officials and no greed. In addition to the heartache, the minister couldn't help but think, is it true that my Daqi has reached the place where corrupt officials are everywhere? ”
Speaking of this, Huang Yuandu looked at the little emperor.
Although Xiao Ying hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials, she does not dare to say that the world is full of corrupt officials, which is equivalent to putting herself on the opposite side of a hundred lawsuits. After thinking for a moment, he spoke, "In all dynasties, there will be greedy officials, but there are only too many and too little. ”
"Holy Wisdom." Huang Yuandu arched his hand, "The rule of Wenjing of Chahan, the Zhenguan of Tang and Kaiyuan, it is not necessary to catch a few greedy officials and lead to prosperity." In the same way, I am also the same. Since his ascension to the throne, the saint has been of the same heart and mind, so that there is today's prosperity, and a few corrupt officials are just scabies. ”
It is impossible to object to these words, since we cannot knock down all the officials, nor can we say that today is a troubled time. The final foothold is that good officials are the vast majority, and corrupt officials are a very small minority. It's just a relationship between nine fingers and one finger.
Song Zheng suddenly figured out Huang Yuandu's thoughts, this old thief is really old and spicy, and his argument is so far, it is impeccable, so the following inference is logical.
"Chen thought, since this is the case, then why are the people rumoring? And the hundred officials are even more panicked and have no intention of political affairs. Even if you are a minister, you can't sleep well! Huang Yuandu looked sad.
"Oh?" Xiao Ying snorted lightly, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door." If there is no ghost in the heart, the hundred officials can act boldly, why be afraid? ”
"What the Holy One said is very true." Huang Yuandu said calmly, "It's just that this round of anti-corruption is as fierce as fire." From the south to the north, from the capital to the localities, in addition to deterring the small crumbs, it is inevitable that the officials of the world will be noisy and uneasy. The Holy Lord and the Queen Mother borrowed the hands of hundreds of officials to rule the world. If the officials are unstable, the government will be unstable. Recently, hundreds of officials have written a letter, not to protect corrupt officials, nor to have personal grudges against Song Zheng alone, but because people's hearts are unstable and the cornerstone of the government is shaking. ”
The little emperor frowned, although he was reluctant, he had to admit that Huang Yuandu was right. The fire of the right division burned too fiercely, and the fierce officials couldn't stand it, so they wrote to impeach.
At this time, Huang Yuandu came up with another reason: "I am in an eventful season, and stability is the first priority, otherwise I will not be able to raise my strength externally." If the officials are not interested in political affairs, it will inevitably affect the preparation of major events. ”
This major event is naturally to raise troops to attack Guanzhong. Although this matter has not been made public, most of the officials know what Huang Yuandu is talking about, and Xiao Ying even knows. Indeed, raising troops in a big group was originally a reluctance, and if it was internally unstable, it would definitely be a failure.
Huang Jiao calmed down for a moment, and followed Huang Yuandu's words, "The prime minister is old and seeks the country, and what he said is reasonable. This time the hundred officials shook it, which was really a mistake by the right division to act rashly. ”
The little emperor was not happy, "The right division is greedy to cure corruption, but it is not possible to cure the sin?" ”
Huang Jiao heard her son openly contradict her for the first time, and she was ashamed and indignant. However, thinking of his own bad things, he didn't have the courage to refute his son.
Huang Yuandu connected, "Controlling corruption and officials is certainly a major matter of the country, but you can't be too anxious about the drug lords in the last days." For example, if you boil medicine, you should simmer it slowly over low heat, and if you attack it with fire, the medicinal properties will be lost. ”
"So, the prime minister wants to investigate the sin of Song Shi and Yousi 'fire'?" Xiao Ying squinted and pressed straight over.
Huang Yuandu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Song Zheng and Yousi, although they are in a hurry, their hearts are loyal and commendable. It's no wonder that although Song Zheng is both civil and military, he is only seventeen years old after all, which is the age when he has a mind to take the clouds in his heart, but he lacks a little overall view in this matter. However, this is not a crime, so the minister does not advocate the punishment of Song Zheng and Yousi. Not only that, but the minister thought that Song Zheng was a piece of jade, and as long as he practiced more in the future, he should be able to become a cadre in the hands of the saint. ”
The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Huang Yuandu: This is quite good to hear, but why would this guy speak for Master Song?
Song Zheng sneered in his heart, Huang Yuandu's fox tail was about to be revealed. It's really hard to talk about this guy, and it can lead to the ultimate goal after all.
"Although the minister does not advocate the punishment of crimes, it has only been a few months since the establishment of the Right Division, and the relationship between the following roads has not yet been straightened out, and at the same time, it will take a lot of energy to change the personnel and mobilize the commanders of the various states. Therefore, the right division should take the internal cleaning as the first priority. After the rectification of the right division is completed, it is not too late to play its role. As for Song Zheng, for the sake of the stability of hundreds of officials, the minister still asked the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother to transfer Song Zheng from the right division. It not only reassures the hearts of officials, but also allows them to be tempered in other positions, so that they can become talents as soon as possible. With that, Huang Yuandu leaned down again, indicating that his words had been finished.
"Yes, the Prime Minister's words are really a prudent plan." Huang Jiao came back to her senses and said to Xiao Hui again, "Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Hui has been closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't expect Huang Jiao to ask him. He opened his eyes, glanced at Song Zheng, whose face was as heavy as water, and said in a deep voice, "The minister has no opinion. ”
Huang Yuandu buttoned down the big hat of "stability", Huang Jiao and Xiao Hui also reached an agreement, the little emperor knew that he could no longer keep Song Zheng, so he only muttered, "Since you are not guilty, why do you need to transfer Song Shi?" ”
However, this was not said with enough confidence, so Huang Jiao should not have heard it. Even if Huang Yuandu heard it, he wouldn't answer anything.
Song Zheng shook his head secretly. It's not that he didn't think about making a counterattack, otherwise he wouldn't have directly carried all the wealth of Zhu Xiyi and Fang An to the palace. Fang Cai, he almost thought that he had succeeded, after all, the hundred officials had been dazzled by those greedy money on the surface, which gave him the upper hand for a while.
However, Huang Yuandu was too cunning, avoiding the rights and wrongs of Song Zheng's corruption itself, but focusing on the overall situation, saying things fairly and rightly, but pushing himself step by step in the direction he wanted. This kind of grinding kung fu is really good. In this regard, Song Zheng can only say one sentence: admire!
Huang Yuandu's words are equivalent to putting an end to today's impeachment of Song Zheng by hundreds of officials: the right division will rectify it by himself first, and then talk about when he will attack again, anyway, he will not arrest people for a while and a half. As for Song Zheng, he is definitely going to leave the right division.
With a "seconding", the little emperor had no choice but to order Song Zheng to be transferred.
In the afternoon of the same day, Huang Yuandu entered Xizhai.
In the evening, a personnel adjustment was made to the right division: Mu Yu was suddenly promoted to the right division, and Shui Ding was appointed as the supervisor of the right division. Yuan Rong served as the deputy commander of the capital and the commander of the right division of Jiangning. At the same time, Cai Yong was promoted to the deputy commander of the Jiangning Right Division. This is Song Zheng's reserved backhand, and Yuan Rong will slowly transfer the matter of the right division of the Gyeonggi Land to Cai Yong. As for Shao Zhijie, he is still the deputy capital.
At the same time as this purpose, Song Zheng also received an appointment: he was the envoy of the Great Qi State to the Shu State.
On the day of the appointment, Xiao Ying summoned Song Zheng again. Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Ying was full of shame and shouted "Master Song", but she couldn't speak anymore.
Song Zheng knew that the little emperor had done his best. As Song Zheng expected, when discussing the candidate for the right division, Huang Yuandu reported that Lu Junqing's condition had improved, and he could take matters into account, and he had no intention of replacing him at all. Xiao Ying used Song Zheng's serial strategy to resist layer by layer, and finally won the above result. This result is a slight change from the position proposed by Song Zheng, but it basically realizes the intention of Song Zheng and Xiao Ying.
Originally, the little emperor also planned to appoint Song Zheng as the squire of the Ministry of Rites, so that Song Zheng could enter the ranks of high-ranking officials, so that Shu would have a little more scruples about dealing with Song Zheng, and Song Zheng also had a guarantee.
However, how could Huang Yuandu and Huang Jiao agree. Their reasons are also sufficient: First, Song Zheng is too young to be promoted suddenly. The second is that Qi and Shu have not communicated with each other for a long time, and if they send high-ranking officials as soon as they come up, Daqi will have no face. The third is that this move was originally meant to be a temptation, paving the way for the future, and it is really not necessary to make it too grand.
After being silent for a while, Xiao Ying's eyes were red and she said, "Master Song, you must come back alive." ”
Song Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, eating a trench and growing wise, presumably after this incident, the little emperor will be more mature, and he will also be more aware of who is the most loyal to him in the end. It's just that as he grows up step by step, I don't know how many times he will be able to reveal his true feelings like now.
Pretending to smile easily, Song Zheng said, "Don't worry, the minister has already planned it, if things go well, it's fine, if it doesn't go well, the minister will escape." The saint knows that the minister's escape kung fu is good. I only hope that the Holy God will not punish the sins of the ministers at that time. ”
"No punishment! No Punishment! Xiao Ying waved her hand again and again, "As long as Master Song can come back, it will be a great achievement." He knew that this trip would go well, after all, Daqi sent troops to Guanzhong, aiming at Hanzhong, the north gate of Shu.
"It's good to have the words of the saint. Hehe, this time the minister is also exploring the way for the saint, and when the Shu Kingdom is attached, so that the minister can be a guide and travel to Bashu! ”
Song Zheng said easily, but the little emperor still had a solemn face, "I would rather lose Shu than Song Shi!" ”
