Chapter 1000

Zhu Guangting, who had already taken his job and was still in Beijing, never thought that Liu Zhi, an old friend, would come to visit at this time.

After hearing this, he hurried from the study to the front hall, and smiled at Liu Zhi, who was already sitting in front of the iron stove and sipping tea to warm his hands. "Liu Xiang, what kind of wind is this, it actually blew you here?"

"Okay, don't come to these false courtesies, you are a Liu Xiang, do you dislike the old man?" Liu Zhi glared at the old friend angrily.

"Hehe, okay, okay, I was wrong...... However, I don't seem to be in a good mood when I see Brother Tai, could it be that the DPRK and China have encountered something difficult? Zhu Guangting smiled, sat next to Liu Zhi and asked.

"Difficult matter, alas, although you have left the court, but with your friendship with me, can you still be unclear about anything in the court?"

Zhu Guangting smiled helplessly. "I know what it can be, in other words, the old man was defeated at the hands of Wang Wushan this time, and he was unwilling at first, but now, he really has to accept it."

"That Su Dongpo took the great merit of the sky, played to His Majesty, please respect Concubine Zhu as the queen mother, this move, although it caters to His Majesty's wishes, but this move is actually a big basket. After all, this is something that has never been done before in all dynasties. ”

"Moreover, since ancient times, the dispute between the concubines and concubines has been a matter of conclusion, isn't he doing this to make himself uncomfortable? So at that time, the old man thought that Su Dongpo was proud of his achievements and did a stupid thing. ”

"Originally, I thought that this matter would eventually be resolved, or that Your Majesty hardened his heart and was willing to bear the burden of being poked in the back by all the people in the world, and tried his best to override public opinion and respect Concubine Zhu as the queen mother."

"But as a result, the old man was ready to watch a good show happily, but this good show was lightly resolved into an invisible ...... by Wang Wushan's letter."

Hearing Zhu Guangting's words beside him, Liu Zhi also nodded with a bitter smile. "Yes, the mother of the Queen Mother, the biological mother of the Queen Mother, the two honorific titles, have solved the biggest problem. and brought out that His Majesty is the son of destiny, and the mother is more precious than the son. This is not contrary to filial piety, but also a long-standing truth, which is really difficult to find faults. ”

"Such a scheming and scheming, the old man lost in his hands, and he really has nothing to say......"

Liu Zhi stroked his long beard and nodded in deep agreement. "Although this person is young, his style of acting is really unpredictable and very accessible. And talented, whimsical, don't you know, since the beginning of winter this year, no one in the land of Sanzhou has starved to death in winter. ”

"This ...... It's unlikely, right? Zhu Guangting couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Liu Zhidao.

"Don't think that the old man is joking, this is exactly the performance of the imperial history from the Imperial History Terrace, and besides, Your Majesty also has other channels to check, if it is false, Your Majesty is afraid that you will be embarrassed to show off with the ministers."

"Don't forget, what is the prestige of Wang Yang Wang Wushan in the court, there will always be people who want to find his mistakes and loopholes."

Zhu Guangting had to nod and admit that he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at Wang Yang and the three states under his rule, but if there was a little mistake, it would definitely be the impeachment case that flew towards the Son of Heaven like snowflakes.

Therefore, if the imperial history of the Yushitai dares to play like this, it must be true, otherwise, dare to cover it up for Wang Yang, unless the officials of the Yushitai family do not want to mix in the old party circle.

"What is it about that that makes you so depressed?"

Zhu Guangting's words made the bitterness on Liu Zhi's face deeper and deeper. "You must also know that Su Dongpo has made meritorious contributions on Shaanxi Road, and now, he can no longer be in charge of military and political power on Shaanxi Road......"

"This is natural, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, all those who have made great contributions have to return to the DPRK for a period of time." That Zhu Guangting nodded as a matter of course.

"Isn't it that Your Majesty doesn't want Su Dongpo to return to Beijing?"

"If Your Majesty opposes it, then it is fine, in this case, it is Your Majesty's responsibility, not the fault of the ministers in the court. Unfortunately, that's not the case......"

"No matter what kind of candidates are recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China, they will be rejected by His Majesty for their own reasons, and so far almost all the candidates who can be qualified to serve as the pacification envoy of Shaanxi Road have been taken out and slipped, but Your Majesty has never been satisfied."

Zhu Guangting was stunned, frowned, stroked his beard and groaned. "Then there must be a reason, could it be that Your Majesty has other ideas, or is someone else in his heart, and we just haven't picked the candidate in his mind, so we will take the opportunity to dismiss it?"

"It's still a virtuous brother, your brain is spinning fast, hehe, you are really not wrong, at first the old man just thought that His Majesty was deliberately considering the courtiers, but today, I went to meet the Empress Dowager, and then I understood that Your Majesty does have a candidate." Liu Zhi took a sip of the warm tea, and his expression looked very complicated.

Seeing that Liu Zhi didn't open his mouth for a long time to continue, Zhu Guangting gradually came to his senses and couldn't help but gasp. "Could it be that your Majesty is the one you like......

Seeing Zhu Guangting's expression, Liu Zhi nodded happily and smiled bitterly. "Yes, what Your Majesty likes is the old man, who should face the right ......."

"No, no, no, brother, you are wrong, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is that Your Majesty likes this position under you." Zhu Guangting is worthy of being a resourceful old driver, and he quickly came back to his senses.

"What do you mean......" Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows tightened. Your Majesty is ready to let Su Dongpo come back and replace the old man? ”

"This is natural, after all, Brother Tai, you are the right servant and the middle scholar." Zhu Guangting stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the left servant shoots and the servant under the door is the deputy minister, and the right servant shoots and the middle book waiter is the main minister. The rest still have a few high-ranking positions that can also be called ministers, but in this era, it is still the most noble left servant and Zhongshu Shilang, and it is recognized as the position of the prime minister.

"I think it is Your Majesty that with Su Dongpo's merits, if you enter the court, you can treat him as a phase, so that he can soothe his heart, but the problem is that His Majesty feels that it is still not enough to give it in other phases."

"That's why Your Majesty has been deliberately embarrassed by the courtiers, but he is embarrassed to inform the old man in person, which has formed the current stalemate......" Liu Zhi's expression was gloomy and authentic.

"If it weren't for the old man who went to see the Empress Dowager in person today, I'm afraid he would have to be kept in the dark."

Seeing Liu Zhi's expression, Zhu Guangting stroked his long beard and nodded slowly. "Brother Tai, you have been in charge of the government for several years, conscientious, and upright, and you have made great contributions to my Great Song Dynasty."

"With the prestige and talent of Brother Tai, he is not inferior to him Su Dongpo. And the Son of Heaven has no reason to drive you out of the court, but the problem is that Su Dongpo enters the court, if you stay in the court, then there will inevitably be a big dispute between the court and the court. ”

"The important thing is that the Son of Heaven must also know very well that the ministers of the court and the central government will mostly stand on your side of the brothers, so I am afraid that with Su Dongpo's stinky temper, he will not stay long, and he will be angry and ask for a transfer from ......the court."

"Therefore, I am afraid that Your Majesty intends to let Su Dongpo stay in the court for a long time, so he will hit the head of Brother Tai."
