Chapter 421: The Pattern of the DPRK and China
Everything is as Yang Lianting and Tian Lingzi thought, and as Tang Xizong expected, the original Shangshu ordered Cui Yanzhao to vomit blood and faint in public in the court on the day of the arrival of the good news, even if he was treated by a group of divine doctors in the Tai Hospital after returning home, the final result was also because he was too old, injured his vitality, and could not recover in a short time, although Cui Yanzhao still wanted to go to the court, but his own body even walked a few steps to cough and gasp, and he was really more than capable of strength.
After almost two days and nights of hard work by Wang Feihong, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and Liu Yonghao, the Zhongshu Ling, who was ordered by the emperor to lead his assistants to assist, a detailed reward plan was also calculated.
Just two days later, after Tang Xizong took over the plan, he announced a thing that shocked the government and the opposition, Shang Shuling was old and sick, and retained his original position, but the actual responsibilities of Shang Shuling were temporarily concurrently held by Liu Yonghao, but he also explained to the civil and military officials that Liu Yonghao only temporarily replaced the exercise of Shang Shuling's rights, as for the future, it remains to be seen.
Although Tang Xizong deliberately made an explanation, it is better not to explain this explanation, but it seems to be hinting to the ministers that the future Shangshuling is Liu Yonghao, otherwise, how can Shangshuling be such an important position casually replaced, although it is said temporarily, but the meaning is self-evident.
This sudden change made the old foxes in the court who had long stood on Liu Yonghao's side secretly rejoice, and the henchmen of Cui Yanzhao's faction had begun to rethink in private, considering whether to make other plans as soon as possible for their future careers. Of course, some of the weak officials have long been accustomed to the behavior of the wall, after Tang Xizong announced the news, in the afternoon and evening of the same day, he began to send their own henchmen to deliver the message, just to probe Liu Yonghao's tone, and then hint at his thoughts, and even tell about the hardships of following Cui Yanzhao before he was forced to follow.
Of course, for these middle and low-level officials who couldn't get on the stage, Liu Yonghao didn't take them seriously at all, but now that they have taken the initiative to show goodwill, Liu Yonghao is still very happy, and naturally he is extremely generous and tolerant of the other party's mistakes. Moreover, although these people have lower official positions, they belong to several layers of officials, and it is still good to collect more for their future prestige, and more importantly, they can reflect the style of the prime minister who can support the boat in his belly.
However, this is only for those middle and low-level officials, as for the core members of Cui Yanzhao's faction, Liu Yonghao did not give the other party any chance at all, and even had the posture and determination to put the other party to death, and he also took action.
It turned out that the four famous fathers who were crisscrossing Chang'an, Jingdong, and now the two Zhang brothers have been implicated in the assassination of Lin Feng, the king of the Han Dynasty, one was beheaded and the other was exiled. And the other two, the first of the four famous fathers, Shangshu Ling Cui Yanzhao, is also self-insured, and this is a real self-insecurity, because whether that old bone can be healed or even how long it can last is not certain.
Almost three of the four have gone, and the remaining one of the left servants of Shangshu is now simply unable to support Wang Feihong, and Liu Yonghao, who has been suppressed by Cui Yanzhao's faction, has now become Wang Feihong's top boss, although the Son of Heaven himself said that it is only temporary, but it is also a top boss, as long as Liu Yonghao is still ordered to perform the duties of a day of Shangshu Order, then Wang Feihong must suffer a day's anger under his nose.
For example, when discussing the matter of rewarding the reward, because Yang Lianting had privately told everyone, Liu Yonghao proposed to spend three million taels of silver from the treasury as a reward for the army, but Wang Feihong, the left servant, refused in public. The reason is that near the end of the year, the palace spent a lot of money, and even the surrounding states that came to Chengdu Mansion to visit at that time, just returning gifts and rewards was a huge expense, and it was not suitable to spend such a huge amount of silver on the army.
Although what Wang Feihong said was true, when Liu Yonghao turned his attention to Honglu Temple (Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples, responsible for state guest etiquette and other matters, and has a cooperative relationship with the six ministries, which is also equivalent to being under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province. How dare Honglu Siqing have a relationship with today's Liu Yonghao? At the moment, he only said that he was willing to obey Lord Liu's arrangement. This also made Wang Feihong almost vomit blood and faint on the spot, as the left servant of Shangshu, Honglu Siqing is just a small role in his eyes, usually he doesn't dare to look up when he sees himself, but now he is openly singing against himself.
However, anger is anger, Wang Feihong has no way to deal with the other party, but Wang Feihong came up with another trick, and even directly reported the situation to Tang Xizong above the court, pointing out in public that the reward of three million taels is too much, which is not quite in line with the current situation.
At first, Tang Xizong was not angry, but he just opened his mouth lightly and asked how much is appropriate, Wang Feihong actually said that it was at most one million taels, and directly pointed at the other party's nose in public, and scolded, my Tang soldier's life is not worth ten taels of silver?!
Subsequently, Liu Yonghao once again led all the ministers to come forward, including those who had just turned upside down, and launched a verbal and written attack on Wang Feihong's 'stinginess'. During this period, even Lord Ye Liqiu, the head of the household department who was in charge of the financial power, also stood up and told Tang Xizong that the current treasury expenditure of three million taels of silver in the Tang Dynasty was still more than enough. At the same time, a number of officials such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu, Shilang and other officials also said that even if the treasury is in difficulty, it must not be too stingy in supporting the front-line army, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the Tang Dynasty soldiers!
After this incident, Shangshu's left servant shot Wang Feihong's prestige in the court also plummeted, and at the same time, there were also people's hearts that fell together, and I don't know whether someone deliberately or unintentionally released the rumors, saying that the left servant shot Wang Feihong This is a personal vendetta in the communiqué, and wants to use his power to wear small shoes to the loyal martial arts Feng's army on the front line.
Not only that, but then there was more news overwhelmingly pressed on Wang Feihong's body, the most unfavorable of which is that there is no impermeable wall in the world, Wang Feihong gave the Zhongwu Feng family army 'wearing small shoes' This matter will definitely reach the ears of the Han King on the front line in the near future, I am afraid that after the Han King leads the Feng family army to capture Chang'an and welcome back the holy car, it is time to turn around and clean up Wang Feihong.
As for whether this kind of news that is completely speculation is true or not, whether Lin Feng will target Wang Feihong in the future, everyone is not interested in this, and what they are most worried about is to distance themselves from Wang Feihong as much as possible, so as not to change their lives in the future, but they are innocently implicated.
The Zhang brothers were also deep-rooted and had many henchmen in the DPRK and China before, isn't it completely finished because of Lin Feng's excerpts, although there is a charge of participating in the assassination and collusion against the party as a reason, but how much is the truth in it, everyone actually seems to have a mirror in their hearts.
In the end, within a few days, Wang Feihong became a loner, and the original henchmen, regardless of whether Liu Yonghao was willing to accept them or not, made up their minds to cut off contact with Wang Feihong anyway, in order to protect themselves.
