Chapter 11 South Hall
Walk into the imperial city from Xuande Gate, and the majestic Daqing Hall will come into view. Raising his eyes to look at the magnificent hall, Fu Bi turned his head and headed towards the east, and soon a wide corridor appeared in front of his eyes.
Many officials in the corridor came and went, like schools of migratory fish.
Fu Bi tidied up his clothes slightly, and then walked into the corridor.
"Right Zhengyan ......" Many officials who knew him, when they met Fu Bi, hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted slightly to show respect.
It's just that this respect is given to his official position, the Right Righteous Speaker of the Governor's Yuan, not his own.
So, most people just salute in a hurry and then run away as if they were fleeing.
But Fu Bi didn't care, he still walked in the cloister with his head held high.
He had expected today's situation and accepted it gladly.
Out of the cloister and along the side street to the north, the Privy Council is already in sight.
"Right Zhengyan ......" An official of the Privy Council was already waiting here: "Yuantai is in the south hall, and the officials are ordered to welcome Zhengyan!" ”
"There is labor!" Fu Bi bowed his hand slightly, so he followed the official, passed through the main entrance of the Privy Council, and exited through the door on the south side, and a palace appeared in front of him.
Here, there are more officials, generals and colonels coming and going, and the atmosphere has become extremely tense.
Because this is the South Hall.
The wartime command center of the Great Song Empire.
Now, the Western captives are rampant and arrogant, and the Liao people are also ready to move, so the focus of the country has completely shifted to the military.
The two governments had to face both the attack of the Western captives and the threat from the Liao from the north.
Whether it is Prime Minister Lu Yijian or the Privy Council, it seems that there is a huge pressure.
This South Hall has become a busier institution than the Government Hall.
Under the guidance of the official, Fu Bi walked through the noisy and busy front yard of the South Hall and came to the door of the back office.
At this time, the place is deliberating.
Therefore, Fu Bi can only wait at the door.
However, it didn't take long for someone to come out and say to Fu Bi: "Yuantai heard the truth, please come in and listen!" ”
Fu Bi laughed and said: "Zhongtang is beautiful, but it is disrespectful, and the lower officials will obey it!" ”
He is a Taiwan official, and according to the system, there is nothing that he cannot listen to and see, and there is nothing that he cannot say and criticize!
So, under the guidance of the man, he stepped into the yaku.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Bi found that all the ministers and consuls present had turned their heads sideways and looked at him with strange eyes.
This made him a little uncomfortable, so he respectfully bowed his hand and bowed again: "Xiaguan Fubi, I have seen all Ming Gong!" ”
"It's just in time!" Prime Minister Lu Yijian, who was sitting at the top and presiding over the meeting, suddenly got up and smiled at Fu Bi: "I am still talking to this soldier!" ”
The Privy Councillor, who was sitting opposite Lu Yijian, nodded with a smile.
Fu Bi's heart suddenly chuckled, because the two mansions of the Great Song Dynasty have never been a harmonious two mansions.
On the contrary, the struggle between the two governments has never ended.
Especially after the Xiyu weighed the system, in order to fight peace, attack and defend and throw the pot, the heads of the two governments were broken and bloody.
The last governor of the two governments died together, and only then did Lu Yijian worship as the prime minister again, and with Zhang Dexiang's ascendancy, there was also the matter of the meeting of the two governments in the South Hall.
However, the struggle between the two governments did not stop with the departure of the former prime ministers, ruling ministers, and cardinal envoys.
On the contrary, it intensified.
Lu Yijian, the Duke of Shen Guo, had a tough attitude towards the western thieves, advocating an all-out attack and defeating the thieves, while the Privy Council was inclined to defend and did not advocate taking the initiative to attack.
Governor Song Itch then argued with reason, and the two sides fought from the monarch to the political hall, and then from the political hall to the south hall.
It can almost be said that the skin has been torn.
But now, the rulers of the two governments, who have been fighting inextricably, are sitting together, waiting for him with a pleasant face?
What's going on?
Fu Bi was puzzled.
"Zhengyan sits down and talks!" Zhang Dexiang squinted his eyes with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.
So, someone brought a chair and invited Fu Bi to sit down.
This flattered Fu Bi, and even felt that the bottom of his buttocks was boiling, he stood on his toes cautiously, did not dare to raise his head at all, and asked the ministers and consuls above him: "The lower officials are frightened, I don't know what the rank Ming Gong commands?" ”
"Don't worry...... Zhang Dexiang said with a smile: "I specially invited Zhengyan today, it is a good thing, and I want to discuss with Zhengyan!" ”
Zhang Dexiang gently picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of the tea he brought from his hometown, then closed his eyes, and asked leisurely: "Have you heard of the incident of Chunfang last night?" ”
Fu Bi immediately bounced up like clockwork and asked, "This soldier ...... Is the legend true? ”
Last night, the officials and the rulers of Zaifu joined forces in the forbidden middle school to visit Shou Guogong.
Immediately, the official family and the ministers feasted in the Shengping Building.
It is said that last night, there was a rare sound of singing and dancing silk bamboo wind music in the Shengping Building, and the officials were even drunk.
Then, today, among the officials of Bianjing, there are all kinds of stories and legends.
Some people say that Shouguo Gong was blessed by his ancestors, and Emperor Xuanzu personally rescued him.
Some people also say that after Shou Guogong woke up, he made a poem, showing the mind and courage of the holy king, and the eunuchs and palace people inside and outside the palace bowed their heads to worship.
There are many monks, monks said conclusively that someone has entered Beijing from Gong County, Henan Province, according to its clouds, the Yong'an Mausoleum in Gong County has been in the past month for more than a month, the grass is clear, the pines and cypresses are flourishing, and the local people with good hopes have concluded: This ancestor has a spirit, bless the sect, and the country will have blessings!
As a Taiwanese official, Fu Bi naturally paid attention to these movements early on.
It's just that since the end of the first month, since Shouguo Gong contracted the disease, in this Bianjing City, among the tile city hooks, similar legends and stories have already been fried and told hundreds of times.
Just two days ago, Empress Cao went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to make incense, and in the afternoon of the same day, there were rumors such as "Shouguo Gongfu" and "the official family wept endlessly".
Therefore, Fu Bi didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, however, the heads of the two governments and the consuls specially summoned him to ask about the matter.
Fu Bi immediately understood that the rumors in the market were probably eight or nine without leaving ten.
That Shou Guogong, the future of the country, is really great?!
Fu Bi couldn't help but clench his fists, a little cheerful.
"Rumors, although it has always been absurd......" Zhang Dexiang squinted his eyes and said in a slightly Fujian dialect tone: "But sometimes, the truth is more or less ......"
"As Zhengyan knows, Guogong is indeed very good!"
"Last night, I visited the Guogong with Yuantai and the consuls and officials, and saw that the Guogong was smart and quick-witted, and the Holy Communion was peaceful and ......."
Speaking of this, Zhang Dexiang waved his hand, so a clerk sent a blank piece of paper to Fu Bi.
"The poem that this prince chanted after waking up last night, let's take a look!" Zhang Dexiang said unhurriedly.
Fu Bi lowered his head and looked at the paper in front of him.
"Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger, and nourishing the spirit under the green shade tree...... Fu Bi read softly, and the waves in his heart are rolling: "If I don't speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound?!" ”
The poem ...... Is it really the work of the national government? Fu Bi was shocked inexplicably.
Since ancient times, poems have been written in words, and songs have been sung.
Fu Bi himself is a lover of poetry, and he can naturally produce this seven-character quatrain, which contains the boldness and spirit, and can feel the royal demeanor that rushes to his face.
But here's the problem......
Shou Guogong is only two years old!
The ancient Ganluo worshiped the prime minister at the age of eight, which is already a miracle and cannot be replicated.
"Indeed!" Zhang Dexiang nodded and replied.
On the opposite side, Lu Yijian also nodded and agreed: "In this matter, there is no need to doubt it, what we have seen and confirmed is absolutely not half false!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yijian curled his lips and was slightly proud: "Heavenly Holy Lord, this omen of the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty is also ......."
The other rulers also looked excited.
Especially the governors of the main government, one by one, they are about to raise their eyebrows to the sky.
This made Fu Bi look at it and be a little worried.
Because, he has realized that this matter may be used by the Zhengfu and become an important weight in the offensive strategy that Shen Guogong is desperately demanding.
Heavenly Lord?
Since God bless the Great Song, the destiny of heaven is in me.
Of course, you can't be polite to traitors and rebels, you must drive the king to Lingzhou and capture Zhao Yuanhao in Xingqing!
On the contrary, Fu Bi and his friends are all guarded.
It's a little awkward.
Fu Bi looked at Zhang Dexiang, Du Yan and other cardinal officials, but saw that Zhang Dexiang and the others were all drinking tea with their heads bowed and silent.
So he knew that the two governments had reached an agreement on this matter.
In other words, he and his friends.
Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu, Tian Quan, Ding Du, Zhang Fangping...... All abandoned.
From December last year to the present, the offensive and defensive battles that have been debated endlessly in the court are about to come to an end.
The state is about to give full support to the offensive strategy!
But can you attack now?
Is there an offensive capital?
Are the armor, resources, and intelligence prepared?
Fu Bi knows, there is no one!
For a while, this right Zhengyan was worried, and he no longer had the excitement and joy when he heard about Shou Guogong's physical recovery.
Zhang Dexiang raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw Fu Bi's expression, he smiled knowingly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said softly: "Zhengyan can be seen, why do I, Yuantai and Zhugong specially summon Zhengyan now?" ”
When Fu Bi heard this, he also frowned suspiciously.
Oh, yes!
He is just a Taiwan official, and he is only a seven-grade official, and even the scarlet silverfish bag is 'borrowed'.
Even if he was the son-in-law of the three envoys, there was no need for the ministers of the two provinces to summon him to inform him of the matter.
At most, the government sent a book to give him a text introduction.
If he wants to understand the facts and facts, he has to go to Zhongshu Province in person to find a resident or a relevant department to check the documents.
"Because ......" Zhang Dexiang's voice suddenly sounded in Fu Bi's ears: "Today, Guogong specially mentioned the right words!" ”
"The country has ministers, the family has loyal servants, and the country will be safe!"
"This country is known as the Xu Yuan to make the right words......"
"The right words are straightforward, and the national prince also knows ......" Zhang Dexiang said half envy and half approval: "Presumably, in the future, there will be a place for the right words!" ”
Fu Bi's brain was buzzing and chaotic when he heard it.
I felt my heart pounding, my breathing was short, and my mind was blank.
His mind was completely occupied by those twelve words - the state has a minister, the family has loyal servants, and the country will be safe!
Almost subconsciously, Fu Bi immediately knew that what Zhang Dexiang said was not wrong!
His promotion is already a certainty!
And, it will be soon!
Both inside and outside the two prefectures, as well as the government and the opposition, will take the initiative to help him pave the way and open the way for him.
There is almost no doubt that he will be promoted to governor or privy councillor before the age of forty.
Why?
Zhengchen, who was praised by Shou Guogong, who dared to stop him from being promoted? Aren't you afraid of being put in small shoes?
It's just that......
Why?
Why me?
Fu Bi was full of questions in his heart.
But no one could give him an answer, so he could only turn his eyes for help to Zhang Dexiang, who was above him, hoping that the elder could mention it.
Zhang Dexiang did not disappoint Fu Bi.
This soldier glanced at Prime Minister Lu Yijian, who was sitting opposite him, and then said: "An hour ago, the initiate Guo Zhi sent the words and deeds of the Duke of Guo's life in the past two days to the Privy Mansion and the Political Affairs Hall......"
Fu Bi listened intently, and didn't dare to omit a word.
"This is a copy of the transcription of the Privy Mansion......" Zhang Dexiang waved his hand, and immediately someone sent a booklet to Fu Bi: "Read it first, and then talk about it after reading it......"
Fu Bi nodded, then solemnly opened the booklet in front of him and read it carefully.
This reading set off a storm in Fu Bi's heart.
Wake up and recite poems, Emperor Xuanzu fell into a dream, and the emperor was moved to make a move......
In the past, only in legends and stories, the bridge is reflected in reality.
And then before Queen Cao, he said, 'The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not damage it lightly, let alone the mother's gift?' The image of Shou Guogong's benevolence and filial piety has been vividly displayed on the paper.
After Empress Cao left, she questioned Wang Shou and forced him to apologize, which showed the skill and wisdom of the prince.
Especially the last sentence: In this way, Lone is relieved! The country has ministers, the family has loyal servants, and the country will be safe!
Seeing Fu Bi was full of excitement and excitement.
Literati doctors, isn't that what they are pursuing?
The Holy Monarch of the Ming Lord, it is really the Holy Monarch of the Ming Lord!
Da Song is saved!
The world is saved!
When he was excited in his heart, Fu Bi listened to Zhang Dexiang and said: "Zhengyan, now you can know that we specially invited Zhengyan, right?" ”
"The ancestors are holy, the holy lord is natural, this is the blessing of the country, and the blessing of the world!"
"However......" Zhang De stood up suddenly: "To make Mencius's sage, Mengzi's mother still have to move her home three times to support Mencius's trip, the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black......"
"Shou Guogong is the foundation of the country, and he bears the weight of the world......"
"Righteousness is valued by the national public, and in the future, he should be more close to him to guide the words and deeds of the national public......"
Fu Bi then bowed, and the chief of the audit bowed: "The lower officials are respectful of the soldiers, Yuantai, and the religion of the Ming Gong!" ”
Note: There are many titles for the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Yuantai and Zhongtang are more common names, of course, the most common is Xianggong~
The head of the Privy Council is generally referred to as the soldier or the minister or the minister.
