Chapter 723: Right and Wrong Are Hard to Tell

"Singing through the sun, the tears are not dry, the fame is left and the meal is added, and the floating water is sent to the infinite tree......"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, an old man who was nearly sixty years old was wielding a large pen more than seven feet long, writing on the bluestone slab and writing the naughty princess. As he wrote, he read it out loud.

Stone is used as paper, and water is used as ink. Because the writing was too urgent, and the water was not evenly dipped in water, the words were written intermittently. In some places, small puddles are accumulated, and in others, the pen is broken. In any case, the big characters are all teeth and claws, like angry dragons, writhing their bodies wantonly on the stone slabs, and the place where they strike is like a sharp sword, full of the spirit of never turning back and preferring to bend.

However, when the last sentence was written, "The river is not evil, and it is difficult to walk in the world", the dancing dragon seemed to be sucked away from its muscles and bones, softened, and lost its flamboyant momentum. That line of words still looks rich and atmospheric, but it is like a wooden sculpture, losing its lustre.

With the last stroke, the writer threw down the pen, staggered to the chair next to him, and sat down. Huang Yue quietly served a cup of tea, stared at the handwriting that had changed dramatically, and sighed secretly. The pen power has gone, and the line of words has become a few mixed water stains, mottled.

Huang Yue knew that what really touched his father was the last sentence of this song "Partridge Sky". For some reason, when my father wrote this sentence, he suddenly became discouraged, so that the line seemed to become an ugly woman, and he was giggling at his father.

Huang Yue also knew that when his father learned about the words and phrases of Song Zheng's westward journey, he laughed disdainfully, "Fill in the lyrics according to the song, moaning without illness, at a young age, how can you chant the wind and the moon!" But now, my father, like Song Xiaolang who was forced to leave Jiangning, lamented that the world was difficult.

Huang Yue didn't understand the Tao, in the past ten years, even if the juniper held the world's soldiers and horses, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city, his father was still high-spirited, skillfully maneuvered, and finally turned the war into invisible. The army marched west into Guanzhong, seized Xijing, and the pair of generals Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu composed a magnificent song of expanding the territory.

The current situation is not much worse than when they were about to compete, why did my father lose his confidence? Could it be that my father is really old? Is this what the year of the hanging tomb looks like? But Na Tong is more than ten years older than his father, why can he be old and strong, and stir up the turmoil?

Huang Yue couldn't figure it out. If Song Zheng was here, he would definitely tell Huang Yue: Between gains and losses, it all depends on the Sacred Heart---- the master is young, and the subordinates can be slaves and bully the master. Now that the master has grown up, if he plays the slave bully again, he is purely looking for death, not to mention that this master has a scheming old slave helping him.

The little emperor will be in charge next year, and he will no longer rely on Huang Yuandu for everything like he did when he was a child. Huang Yuandu also admits this, but after more than ten years of Zai Fu, Huang Yuandu's familiarity with political affairs is not comparable to that of the little emperor. Therefore, although Huang Yuandu endured a lot, he still clashed with the little emperor from time to time.

For example, when Song Zheng was forced to send an envoy to Xishu. Song Zheng won the sacred heart, and since he was appointed as the right supervisor, he snatched the dark eagle that originally belonged to the Prime Minister's Mansion, rectified it with an iron and bloody wrist, and turned it into a sword in his hand. As far north as Shandong, south to Jinghu, several corrupt officials were arrested, and even in Jiangning City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, several officials were taken off their heads.

Huang Yuandu was deeply afraid of the rise of Song Zheng, so he had already made a move, let Song Zheng be transferred to the Ministry of Rites as Langzhong, and took advantage of the general trend of the Qi army to advance westward, and instigated the little emperor to send Song Zheng to Xishu. When the little emperor was just about to wake up, Huang Yuandu mobilized hundreds of civil and military officials and carried out an impeachment similar to forcing the palace. In the end, Song Zheng went to Xishu, and he went for more than half a year.

Song Zheng was forced to leave, and the little emperor was extremely dissatisfied with Huang Yuandu. If it weren't for the foreign war of Great Qi, the little emperor would have rebounded long ago. Even so, Huang Yuandu was forced into a predicament. The little emperor found a good helper---- Guogong Tong. This old and immortal guy took advantage of the situation to ascend to the position of captain. originally thought that the seventy-year-old Xiaotong was just a transition, but who knew that he was an old and strong snake. With the thoughts of the little emperor, with the energy accumulated over the years, dazzling sparks burst out all of a sudden.

Because of the Ji family case, Huang Yuandu lost the support of everyone in Jiangnan, and his daughter Huang Jiao was the last reliance, but Huang Jiao still chose the latter between her father and son. Huang Yuandu was lost both inside and outside, and soon fell into a predicament: the Duwei Army was gone, Wei Buzhou, who was suppressed by Huang Yuandu, also came to power, and even the old cases for many years were used as spearheads, faintly pointing at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Huang Yue didn't think so thoroughly, but he also knew that his father's life was not easy, and he couldn't do anything about the current predicament of Huitong Commerce and Trade.

Of course, the one who made Huang Yuandu the most sad was Huang Song. In order to let Huang Song "change his evil and return to the right", Huang Yuandu did not hesitate to let him be grounded for more than three months. The final result was that Huang Song "changed his past" on the surface, and never looked back after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if Huang Yuandu threatened to sever the relationship between father and son, Huang Song was dismissive. Do you really want to break off the father-son relationship? That dignified prime minister's mansion really became a joke.

Thinking of this, Huang Yue was a little happy---- how about Huang Song, who you originally trusted? It's not that I left the house to stand up for myself, or even turned against you, but I, the "three-eyed gourmet" you look down on in every way, are still by your side. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

However, looking at his father's gray hair, Huang Yue's heart also softened, and he put away his schadenfreude.

"Father, since the world is difficult, why don't you quit this phase? You're getting older, and you've been slaughtering for more than ten years, so it's time to take a break. ”

Huang Yuandu's body was shocked, he turned his head to look at Huang Yue, his eyes instantly became fierce, and his body also emitted a tiger-like momentum, and shouted angrily, "Who told you to persuade me to retreat?" ”

Huang Yue was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "No one instructed him, it was the child who felt uncomfortable when he saw his father working so hard." As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. Even if you are not the prime minister, our family is still rich in clothes and food, and life is worry-free. You have worked hard for Daqi for so many years, and you should enjoy it. ”

Huang Yuandu's body froze, and after a while, he stretched out his right hand tremblingly and touched Huang Yue's head, "Good boy, it's your father's fault for blaming you." Huang Yuandu also understands that with Huang Yue's IQ, he can't play tricks in front of him.

"Father, you have been the prime minister for more than ten years, assisting the young lord to grow up. Daqi is in your hands, and it is also regarded as the rule of the officials, and the country is everlasting. The merits and demerits of the world are seen by the world. What's more, the saint is gradually becoming disobedient to his father, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid it won't be a way to protect himself. ”

Huang Yuandu smiled bitterly, "It's not because I'm nostalgic for this position for my father, but because I have to be unpredictable, I'm afraid it's even more sinister than Xiao Jun." If you leave at this time, in case something happens in the court, I am afraid that there will be no one to compete with this old thief. ”

Huang Yue said secretly, now that it has been forced to this point, and he is still thinking about state affairs, I really don't know what to say about you. He opened his mouth to persuade him, but was stopped by Huang Yuandu waving his hand, "Do you think I'm here to support this phase?" The harm of everyone in Jiangnan, you Huitong Trade Bank may feel the same way. Everyone in Jiangnan wants to grow up in my hands, if I don't suppress them, what merit can I talk about! Besides, I'm still the prime minister now, as long as I'm still here, everyone in Jiangnan won't do too outrageous. In case I fall, they will attack Huitong Trading Company with impunity. This time, they are mainly dealing with Lu Dafu, if I fall, I am afraid that you, Xu Mingxuan, and Song Zheng will all be unlucky. ”

Huang Yue's eyes were red, but he couldn't say anything. After a long time, he muttered, "If only Song Zheng hadn't sent Xishu." ”

"This time, that time." Huang Yuandu sighed, hesitated for a while, and patiently explained, "Song Zheng forcibly took away the right division, if I don't fight back, will I still be the prime minister?" Besides, he was too impatient to deal with the officials of Daqi with such means. How can the rulers of a nation be governed by brutal punishment? Just like the reorganization of the army, it is hateful to eat empty salaries, but when it comes to governance, it is not something that can be done by removing a few generals. Nepotism, one grasp power, not even as good as the juniper. Cong Kui and Liang Shouxin, who he brought up, are they good generals? ”

"Song Zheng's methods are a little anxious, but they are very happy, and they can't be compared with Xiaotong."

"Nonsense!" Huang Yuandu said disdainfully, "Don't think that being happy is a good thing." If Song Zheng is allowed to kill like that, the officials of this Great Qi will not be killed? Who will govern the country then? When the water is clear, there are no fish, don't you understand? Besides, even if I don't make a move, everyone else will be idle? Even if Song Zheng pleases the little emperor again, once he stands on the opposite side of the entire officialdom, he can drown him by spitting Xingzi alone. On the other hand, I let him leave Daqi, and I also protected him. ”

Is forcing Song Zheng away to protect Song Zheng? Huang Yue's mind was a little confused.

"Forget it." Huang Yuandu was excited, "You are not the material for politics, and you don't understand it if you tell you too much." ”

"That'...... Father still has to resist? Huang Yue asked nervously. Father seemed to have a point, and even Huang Yue didn't know if he should let his father step down.

Huang Yuandu smiled softly, "Who said I was going to resist?" I have prepared the resignation folder and will hand it in tomorrow. ”

"Then Father is stepping down?" Huang Yue was still confused, his father had talked a lot of truths just now, proving that he couldn't leave the phase, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to hand over the fold to resign, and he really didn't know what was going on.

"I'm not feeling well and need to rest for a while." Huang Yuandu's face was sly. He patted his son on the shoulder, stood up, and walked out, his steps seemed brisker.

Huang Yue looked for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and a common saying almost blurted out: When ** wants to build a memorial arch again! He could almost deduce what happened next: his father wrote to resign, but the saint did not allow it. Again, no more. When it was the third time, my father no longer said that he would resign, but changed to sick leave.

According to the usual practice, if a senior official is determined to resign, and the above does have the idea of replacing him, he will generally wait until the third resignation to twist the approval so as not to be considered too ugly. In fact, with Huang Yuandu's status, I'm afraid that three words are not enough, and I am afraid that five or six words will be needed before the little emperor Ying will approve it.

In any case, Huang Yue was complacent that he could guess his father's intentions, as if he was not a political idiot!

Just when Huang Yue was rejoicing in his IQ, Huang Yuandu, who walked to the door, turned his head and said, "I have already arranged for someone to go back to my hometown, there are about fifteen or six hundred hectares of fertile land at home, I will leave one hundred acres for the elderly, and the rest will be sold." Let's get together, almost 100,000 taels of silver, you can go around a little more and see if you can make up enough for the 280,000 taels. Alas, what I did back then will still have retribution! ”

Huang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were wet with tears.
