Zhang Shangying looked like an old master, and when he was angry, he didn't speak.

It was his entourage that pointed and reprimanded, "Zhao Cheng, you are a Huangkouxuan, openly slandering and insulting the minister? ”

Zhang Shangying thought about it again, this was a very important meeting, the purpose was to work on the people of the Chizhou department and Huang Wenbing, so that they would not stubbornly support Zhao'an's decision.

Thinking about it, Zhang Shangying was patient with the last temperament, "For Cai Zhizhou's sake, Zhao Cheng, you are still young, and the headquarters will not investigate your faux pas for the time being." I just ask you, how dare you take responsibility for the headquarters is nonsense, how dare you accuse the headquarters of Naixuan? ”

Cai You also looked at Zhao Cheng unhappily, thinking that Lao Zhang had a lot of jokes, but for such a person, he was limited to talking about it behind his back as a joke, and it was basically unique to fight like this in person.

"This person's arrogant behavior is not once or twice, the talent has not yet been confirmed, but the arrogance is the top, I don't expect him to say anything, please Zhang Xianggong drive him away, so as not to continue to confuse him and control the direction of the discussion."

Wang Hao deliberately reminded him.

Cai You also planned to call Zhao Cheng away to avoid this drama, but Zhang Shangying said the opposite, "It's okay." Everyone has been young, and his young thinking who wants to be grandiose once had a husband who was the most disgusted in his life, so let him speak freely, as long as he can say the truth, he can forgive his arrogance. ”

In this way, countless bureaucrats in the hall couldn't help but admire Lao Zhang's demeanor, and they all twisted their beards and nodded frequently in agreement:

"It is worthy of Zhang Xianggong."

"This is called elegance and humility."

"Some people, who don't have the knowledge, even if they write Xiaobaiwen, are so disrespectful to Zhang Gong, who is so elegant and cares about the suffering of the people, tsk"

As long as there are big people, this kind of attachment is normal in any sincerity, but it really makes Huang Wenbing and Cai You unable to come to the stage, and they are embarrassed to scold them in person.

Huang Wenbing deliberately approached Cai You and whispered, "What are you doing as a protégé, why did you provoke Mao Lao Zhang, or did he really have any good deployment strategy to win the Battle of Chizhou?" ”

Cai You was inevitably a little embarrassed, and whispered: "To be honest, I don't know in Benzhou, he may really have some good plan, or it may be that the book business is grandstanding, which means that he has no choice." ”

Huang Wenbing nodded frequently on the surface, but in fact he thought, damn, what is the difference between you and what you didn't say. Although this Lao Zhang is also a bunch of nonsense, he has taken some reason, stood on the commanding heights of Rende's reputation, and caught the two defeats of Xishan and Lingyang Mountain as a stain and reason.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Wenbing continued to whisper to Cai You: "You really want to support Zhang Shangying backhand and pit your own protégé, right?" ”

Cai You was also a little embarrassed, he didn't say it bluntly but thought, damn it, I didn't want to fight in the first place, but it was you people who made trouble again, which made me Chizhou fall into passivity.

But on the surface, Cai You had no choice but to say something relatively loyal and brave, and said in a low voice, "Lord Huang, this matter is not as simple as you think. When Zhang Gong reached this age, he had seen too many storms and waves, and you and I had never seen tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people without food or clothing, but he had not only seen it but also experienced it. His precautions and intentions have their own reasons. On the other hand, Zhao Cheng is my protégé and my own person, so Benzhou will demand more from him. The key is to continue, and he, Zhao Cheng, is not sure to reduce the damage and win the war. So there is a reason why Zhang Gong appeared. ”

"For a moment, my old Huang almost believed that you were a person who was worried about the country and the people."

Huang Wenbing scoffed.

Cai You was a little embarrassed, his old face was slightly red, he raised the tea bowl to drink water, and he didn't say much.

This made Huang Wenbing very helpless, "Bai said that here are all kinds of beings, Zhao Cheng is indeed a bit like a trick and a trick, blindly giving people confidence, but on the other hand, how can Lao Zhang Shangying not?"

There is no doubt that the see-saw of rhetoric here has implicated the interests of many people in Chizhou, and the results of the mutual compromise and balance here will also have a far-reaching impact on the dynasty.

Cai You's appearance also reflects Cai Jing's mentality to a certain extent, so Zhang Shangying came to Chizhou.

Right or wrong no longer matters here⊥ it depends on the starting point of Zhang Shangying and Zhao Cheng's point of view, who represents the interests of the most people.

Maybe he, Zhang Shangying, really lives in a benevolent mentality and makes decisions based on the people, but he is helpless, but his seconders are not this mentality, they are for their own interests.

On the surface, the copper mines in Chizhou do not belong to the imperial court, but to countless other large or small interest groups.

This is the will of the majority of vested interests in Chizhou, so they fight. This is also a problem for Uncle Zhang, the treasury official, so he sent troops to rob!

Now some people are sitting in this hall, most of them are directly involved in personal interests, or they have gloves to participate in interests, plus there is Cai Jing's will to support this matter, it seems that Zhang Shangying is so confident, and their voices are so loud when they watch and boo Zhao Cheng.

Thinking of these, Huang Wenbing was very unconvinced. But there is no good way to be unconvinced, and now, Huang Wenbing can already think of the ending from the situation in this hall. Even if Zhao Cheng's brainwashing is very strong, the concept that a soldier must kill a thief is also very important, but obviously Zhao Cheng will not win.

He Zhao Cheng may really be able to beat Wang Xiu, but he can't beat so many unspoken political rules, he can't beat so many bureaucratic interests, and Zhang Shuye can't beat him either.

The mistake is that for various reasons, Xishan and Lingyang Mountain lost both battles. Before that, Chizhou had no performance to prove that it could win the war, so ordinary people did not dare to follow the bet. This is called a stop-loss.

The grass on the wall that goes with the flow will always be the mainstream, and there are only a few people who rely on the belief that soldiers must kill thieves.

Thinking of this, Huang Wenbing sighed, no one could do anything about it.

There was enough silence in the lobby, the atmosphere was paved enough, and after Zhao Cheng was watched enough, Zhang Shangying twisted his beard and said, "Speaking of Bacheng, if you can tell me why, this official will not investigate your disrespect?" ”

Zhao Cheng hesitated and bowed, "So no one can say it." In fact, no one has been able to convince anyone since ancient times. Because at the end of the day, you can't tell whether it's better to die slower, or whether it's better to have a long pain than a short one. It's a chicken-and-egg question. ”

Zhang Shangying said coldly, "Since it is a question of chicken or egg first, how dare you accuse the old man of nonsense?" ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Because Ming Gong's starting point is wrong, the issue of chicken and egg can be argued, and that is because it is irrelevant." However, the issue of position should not be confused, if the official can compromise with the thief, and the thief can turn around and become an official, then the lower official must ask whether there are more people who want to be an official or more people who want to be a thief? If encouraging thieves can solve the problem, what do you want the government to do? Is the legitimacy of the government in question? This kind of doubt is really not a chicken-and-egg problem, it will become very serious."

"Nonsense!"

As Zhao Cheng expected, it was impossible to say why this kind of question was true, so Zhao Cheng was interrupted by Zhang Shangying angrily before he finished speaking.
