Chapter 222: Cui Wenqing's Choice

The lights and candles in the Chaoyang Building were brilliant, and Zhi Zhao and Cui Wenqing sat opposite each other, with a serious expression.

"If you talk about the downside, if Wang Anshi is really ready to reuse the minister, then the relationship between you and me will bear the brunt." The air is like a blue orchid, and the phoenix's eyes are constantly flickering.

"You mean, our relationship as husband and wife?" Cui Wenqing frowned and asked.

"Yes," Zhi Zhao said, "You are my husband of Zhe Zhao, it can be said that above the court, the two of us are sharing weal and woe, and the camp is the same, if you invest in the power of the law change, then in the eyes of others, it means that I Zhe Zhao and 50,000 Zhenwu soldiers will support Wang Anshi's new law with you, which is a great trouble for the conservatives led by Sima Guang, and it will even affect the stability of the court." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed his head and said: "Lady said this, I understand, if you stand on the side of the law changer, it will definitely make the conservatives feel very much pressure, and the confrontation between the two factions will be more obvious." ”

"Yes," Zhi Zhao said with a wry smile, "To this day, the reformers do not have the slightest power in the army, and my grandfather has also written to me several times to tell me that I should not have too close friendship with any faction and intensify the confrontation, as a Zhenwu army, it must not have obvious political tendencies, if the army has its own thoughts, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the country." ”

Cui Wenqing understood what Zhezhao meant.

Indeed, the army can be loyal to the country, and it is categorically unable to intervene in political struggles, and I believe that this is also the bottom line of the imperial court.

If Wang Anshi was really ready to reuse himself, he would inevitably have no idea of winning over Zhe Zhao, which made Zhe Zhao, as the governor of the Zhenwu Army, indeed difficult to deal with.

"And if your husband joins the camp of changing the law, he will definitely be ruthlessly attacked by the conservatives, and it will be very unfavorable to your future, husband."

Cui Wenqing was silent for a while, and only after thinking for a while did he speak: "What does the lady mean, is it that I should be left and right, not to favor and offend one side?" ”

"Yes, that's what I mean, I don't know what my husband thinks?" Zhe Zhao asked solemnly.

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing smiled.

Before today, perhaps he would not hesitate to agree that he would not get involved in the struggle between the reformers and the conservatives.

However, Zhizhao's gaze had great limitations, she only thought of the stability of Daqi and the safety of the Zhenwu army, but she didn't understand the trend of the general trend of the world at all.

Although the Liao State is strong now, it is not the biggest trouble.

In just a hundred years, there will be the brave and warlike Jin people, as well as the invincible Mongols who rose in the northeast and the desert, the heroic Wanyan Aguta, and a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan will appear on the stage of history one after another.

In particular, as soon as the Mongols came out, they swept almost the entire Eurasian continent and had no opponents at all.

If Daqi wants to continue and preserve the true Chinese civilization, it must look at problems and seek things from the perspective of the general trend of history.

Those who have not sought eternity since ancient times are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.

Only by changing the law and reforming and innovating can we deal with the imminent invasion of foreign races.

Only by changing the law and trying to become stronger, reform and innovation, can ancient China always stand tall in the east of the world.

At this critical moment, since he should go forward bravely and seek peace for China, how can he be held back because of trivial matters?

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing's heart was firm, and he said solemnly: "Lady, the husband of a man was born in the world, and he has done something and has not done anything, so I can do things seriously and be worthy of myself, so why bother with the fight between the two factions?" ”

After receiving Cui Wenqing's answer, Zhi Zhaomei's eyes dimmed slightly, and he smiled reluctantly: "Husband thinks like this, I don't want to say more, then okay, husband can just do things according to his own heart." ”

Cui Wenqing naturally felt that Zhi Zhao seemed to be a little disappointed, but he was in the overall situation, the height he occupied was different, and his way of thinking was naturally different.

Zhe Zhao may be disappointed now, but Cui Wenqing believes that in the near future, she will understand her good intentions.

After Cui Wenqing said goodbye and left, Zhi Zhao thought for a long, long time in front of the independent window, and then sighed for a long time: "Cui Wenqing, Cui Wenqing, if you do this, you will bring the Zhi family and the Zhenwu Army into danger, what should I do?" ”

The moon was as cool as water, and the night wind was howling, but no one could answer the question.

In the next few days, Cui Wenqing was almost with Su Shi.

Su Shi is highly knowledgeable and talented, and he is a brilliant talent in the world.

And Cui Wenqing has unique insights and transcendent thoughts, and many novel and transcendent ideas will surprise Su Shi, and when you think about it, it will be amazing, and she will be admired.

Within a few days, the two became good friends, and it was too late to see each other.

Today, Lu Huiqing arrived in Fugu and made a special trip to discuss the major affairs of Hedong Bank, Cui Wenqing thought about it for a while, and hurriedly went to the Fuzhou branch of Hedong Bank with Su Shi.

Fuzhou branch is located in the south of the city, located in the middle of the city, is a very wide store, the flow of people is not stopped, the business is also very good.

At present, the imperial court has lifted the ban on military debts, and the Zhenwu army can continue to issue military bonds, which naturally attracts a large number of customers, some come to buy military bonds, and some come to borrow money to repay the money, which is really lively and noisy.

Knowing that Cui Wenqing was coming, Lu Huiqing did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly greeted him in person.

"Brother Huiqing, this is Su Shi, the intellectual system of the Hanlin Academy of the Imperial Court, Brother Su, this is Lu Huiqing, vice president of Hedong Bank." Cui Wenqing smiled and acted as an intermediary for the two.

Knowing that the young scholar in front of him was the famous Su Shi, Lu Huiqing immediately changed color, and hurriedly said excitedly: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be the new Su Bangyan, in Xia Lu Huiqing, polite." ”

Su Shi smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, in fact, I have long heard Brother Wen Qing say that Brother Lu is your name, and I really got what I wanted when I saw it today." ”

Cui Wenqing held the hands of the two of them separately and said with a smile: "Okay, you guys don't be polite to each other, let's go in and talk about what you have to say." ”

Entering the official office of the Fuzhou branch, Lu Huiqing first reported to Cui Wenqing on the recent operation of Hedong Bank.

"Governor Cui, because the ban of the imperial court has been lifted, the number of people who come to our bank to buy military bonds and treasury bonds has increased greatly, and the silver taels stored in the treasury have also risen sharply, but in general, the people are still hesitant to borrow money from our bank, especially some poor people, most of them would rather borrow from their friends or relatives, which makes the balance between the two silver and silver seriously unbalanced, and at present, we can't spend a lot of silver."

Speaking of the back, Lu Huiqing suddenly had a headache, obviously in trouble.
