Chapter 264: The Struggle Between the Big Guys

"Me?" Eldest Sun Hong frowned and said in surprise: "You want me to go to Beijing?" ”

He was leaning on the inside of the city wall with a leisurely posture, but at this moment he stood up straight: "I am a small regimental training envoy, why does Zhongshu Province want me to go to Beijing?" ”

Wang Kui was also very confused, but Yang Yang held the letter in his hand: "The reason was not written in the letter, but in the first letter, it was mentioned that the new right prime minister and privy councillor envoy had already taken office. ”

Changsun Hong took it and read it quickly, and when he put down the letter, the puzzled expression on his face was gone.

Returning the letter to Wang Kui, he took Wang Kui's hand and said, "Big brother, let's talk while walking." ”

Wang Kui looked at his demeanor and knew that Changsun Hong probably understood something, so he put the letter away and walked slowly along the city wall with him.

The newly built city wall, the stone bricks at the foot are flat and wide, the outer breast wall and the inner female wall are solid and firm, and the arrow holes at the battlements are wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and the arrows can be controlled from the inside to the outside. And every five or six zhang away, there is a hole for the bed crossbow, and there is a difference between the rollers of the mechanism for the erection of the oil and iron pots, and some stonemasons and carpenters are making the final improvements, and when they see the two of them coming, they all get up and bow down in a panic to say hello.

Wang Kui waved his hand absentmindedly and casually, but kept his eyes on Changsun Hong, waiting for him to speak.

Changsun Hong didn't let him wait, and said as he walked: "On the first letter, it was said that Master Shi was ordered to go home to worry, but he basically set his future. In the future, it is unlikely that Master Shi will re-enter the center, and being a rich man for the rest of his life is the best destination. ”

Wang Kui nodded with a calm face, Shi Songzhi cheekily agreed to win affection, and was willing to stay in the court and continue to be an official, and he had already expressed his attitude. Emperor Lizong reversed his word, and a few days after the seizure of love, he regretted letting him return home, which is enough to prove that Lizong's attitude has reversed, and the reasons are complex and diverse, but the group attack of the courtiers is definitely the main one.

Shi Songzhi is finished, this is clear.

"The person who took over was Du Fan, the official family made him the right prime minister and privy council envoy, and Fan Zhong was the left prime minister and knew the affairs of the privy council, and the two took the position and became the chief executive, which was very clear in the first letter." Changsun Hong continued.

"These two people and Shi Songzhi probably don't have much political opinions, right?"

Facing the inquiring gaze of the eldest grandson, Wang Kui took a square step and replied slowly: "I know something about the officials in the court, and I have also heard of these two people. People say that Fan Zhong is a rare Qing official in the past hundred years, with a modest nature, erudite and talented, both civil and military, and his family is poor. ”

"And Du Fan, but he is famous for his upright temperament, he is very straightforward, and he is not ashamed of the villain in his eyes, and he once resigned and dismissed the official the year before last, because he refused to be a minister in the same hall with Li Ming, a close confidant of Lord Shi, and left angrily, forcing the official family to release Li Ming, so he was left behind."

"These two people have the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, they are extremely talented, Du Fan dares to decide, Fan Zhong is good at strategizing, and for the relationship with the Beiyu, they both advocate war and peace, and they are at odds with Lord Shi's peace."

Changsun Hong listened carefully, didn't say a word, looked down at the bricks under his feet, followed suit, and waited until Wang Kui finished speaking, before raising his head.

Wang Kui took a deep breath, glanced at Changsun Hong with some apprehension, and said uneasily: "Could it be ...... The newly appointed Zai Zhi is worried that Lord Shi has deep roots and many old officials in the court, and people like me should be summoned to Beijing and taken on the spot? ”

Changsun Hong rolled his eyes and laughed: "Big brother panicked? ”

Wang Kui shook his head: "It's not panicked, the man's husband, for the country and the family, what are you afraid of?" The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and they are not the private soldiers of a certain big man, even if they get closer, they will not be charged...... It's just ......."

He sighed, stopped, touched the towering stone on the female wall on one side, and said regretfully: "It doesn't matter if you want me to go, it doesn't matter if this official is inappropriate, it's just a pity that Xichuan has just laid so many foundations." People don't suffer too much and suffer without a leader, once I leave, I don't know who will take over? Will it still raise the strength of the whole Sichuan to reorganize the army for war? ”

"The seedlings planted by the people of Sichuan this year have not been harvested once, and the military fields under the tun of tens of millions of soldiers have just been leveled and reclaimed.

Changsun Hong listened to him silently, and also touched his hand to the female wall, his palm touched the stone under the afterglow, and he felt the coldness of the hard stone in his palm, but he felt that there was a fire burning slowly in his heart.

Wang Kui didn't look at him, just stared at the city under the city by the last light before sunset in the busy city construction of the army and civilians, with a strong vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows: "The new construction of Chengdu City, the new establishment of the mountain city of Luqi everywhere is at the most critical juncture, and a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources will be invested in the follow-up...... ”

He exhaled again, turned his palm into a fist, and slammed it on the women's wall, making a muffled "bang" sound.

"I am really ashamed of the people under my rule, ashamed of this official robe, and ashamed of the countless soldiers who died on the battlefield!"

Wang Kui's face was red, the green tendons on his forehead were bursting up, the more he talked, the more excited he became, he couldn't think of anything in his mind, and he wanted to hit the wall with his fist.

"Big brother doesn't have to be like this."

Changsun Hong stretched out his hand and stopped him, with a smile on his face.

"Conduct yourself in the world, as long as you have a clear conscience, don't put such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, the world is alive, can you take care of it?"

Wang Kui glared and did not agree with Changsun Hong's statement.

Especially looking at the face of Changsun Hong smiling, it was very uncomfortable, how could he giggle on such a serious topic?

But before he could refute, Changsun Hong immediately patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Big brother looks at the problem, is he too pessimistic?" How do you know that this trip to Beijing must be a curse or a blessing? ”

Wang Kui's frowning brows suddenly unfolded, turning into a surprised look, looking at the smiling face of the eldest grandson.

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

"When the gods fight, the people may not suffer." Changsun Hong smiled and said: "Du Fan and Fan Zhong are veterans who have been through the eunuch field as you said, and they will not do stupid things like this recklessly. Not to mention that both the DPRK and China are the same, at least there are three or four percent, right? And at the moment of the great enemy, the strong enemy in the north is ready to move, what kind of stupid brain will make a self-destruction of the Great Wall and self-chaos? ”

Wang Kui was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned crimson.

Touching his beard, he coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that these two people are dizzy, and they hate Shi Songzhi to the core, and they want to cut them down and eradicate them forever, but the official family let Shi Songzhi go home and worry about it, and there is no other expression, it seems that it can't be confirmed."

Changsun Hong continued, leaning against the city wall and talking, while Wang Kui listened with bated breath.

"Therefore, this time in Beijing, I think it is unlikely that Xingshi will ask for guilt, but the possibility of winning over temptation is very great."

"If my prediction is correct, the officers above the command level in all places and the envoys and consolation envoys in various places are all among the calls, and the eldest brother is called to Beijing, which is the proper meaning of the question, no need to guess, no need to panic."

Wang Kui pondered for a moment, patted his head, and suddenly realized: "What the second brother said is right, a seat of words is like an enlightenment, waking up the person in the dream!" ”

Changsun Hong said with a smile: "And these two people are both pragmatic people, who focus on reality, do not seek exaggeration, do not care about fame, but are good candidates for Zaizhi." ”

"Oh?" Wang Kui was puzzled, with the eldest grandson, he always felt that his IQ was not enough: "This can be seen? ”

"Me, they have summoned me to Beijing." Changsun Hong pointed to his nose and said lazily: "A small regimental training envoy, someone must have told them the story of the Xichuan war, so they will find me, which also shows that they will not find us trouble, but will only test our loyalty, whether to follow Shi Songyi's road to the dark, or willing to listen to their dispatch." ”

"This ......" Wang Kui touched his chin again: "How should we deal with it?" ”

"Of course it's hugging the thighs of the imperial court!" Eldest Sun Hong slapped his face: "The court has money and silver, who will give us money if you don't hug their thighs?" ”
