Chapter 630: The Great Eunuch (Not Gu Li)
๏ปฟ
??โ Hahaha! โ
Seeing that the Jin people were leaving in embarrassment, Zhao Ji laughed and stood up from the chair, and walked to Wu Zhi's side with Ling'er Hui'er and the officials. { With }{ Dream } ั{ mะตng [ ] [
"Aiqing is witty and saves face for my Great Song, I am very relieved!" Looking at Wu Song and them, Zhao Ji also nodded with satisfaction: "You generals are worthy of being my great Song generals, and you have done your best, so you should be rewarded with Wu Aiqing!" โ
"Serving the country and being loyal to your majesty is the business of our courtiers, and your majesty does not need to reward it."
Wu Zhi shook his head and smiled and excused himself, but this kind of reward is at most some gold and silver brocade, and it doesn't hurt to ask for it.
"Master Wu is worthy of being the first-class young talent of my Great Song Dynasty, but it's a pity that he has already been married, otherwise it wouldn't be perfect to become His Majesty's concubine after defeating the battle of wisdom this time!"
After Jin Ren left, the atmosphere was much more relaxed and private, and Tong Guan tried to speak for Wu Zhi in a joking tone.
Cai Jing also smiled: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"If I have such a son-in-law as Wu Zhi, it will be my blessing, haha!"
Zhao Ji stroked his beautiful beard, with a smile on his face, listening to Zhao Ji's tone, Wu Zhi couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seems that things with Ling'er are not as difficult as imagined.
Ling'er beside Zhao Ji also lowered her head and smiled, and Hui'er beside her was also secretly happy for her sister.
"I said Wu Zhi, you are angry and leave the Jin State Mission, won't the matter of our Great Song Dynasty attack Yanyun be delayed again?" Just when everyone was happy, Wang Hao suddenly had a strange aura of yin and yang.
was reminded by him like this, Zhao Ji and the others began to make difficulties, yes, it was cool for a while, but it delayed the country's plan!
"Wu Zhi, how is this good?"
Zhao Ji didn't blame Wu Zhi at all, but looked at Wu Zhi with hope, he knew that Wu Zhi had the best way.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, it's really rude for the Jin people to show off their power and ask for too much, and they will be driven away! As for the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, with the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty, we don't need to rely on the Jin people at all! Wu Zhi said unhurriedly.
"I'm afraid that I'm just afraid that the Jin people will make trouble when the time comes......" Wang Hao said coldly.
"Yes, the Jin people are heavily armed to the north of Yanyun, and after our Great Song Dynasty fights Yanyun, I'm afraid that the Jin people will take advantage of the situation." Tong Guan worried.
Wu Zhi smiled disapprerovingly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, let's see." When the time comes, the minister has his own good strategy, so that the golden people will not dare to make trouble! โ
Wu Zhi's words are actually very unreliable, but if they are not reliable, it depends on who said it, others say that no one will believe it, but he Wu Zhi is different, as soon as this wild word came out, Zhao Ji immediately believed it ninety out of nine, and even Tong Guan Cai Jingjing felt that Wu Zhi must have a hole card since he dared to say this...... Wu Zhi has always been a surprise.
"Good! When the time comes, the matter of Yanyun will be handed over to you! โ
Zhao Ji finished throwing off the pot, his face was relaxed, and Wang Hao didn't say anything more.
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart, originally he was a civil official who had not yet entered the two mansions, and this kind of thing recovering Yanyun would not necessarily have his business, he would at most just make suggestions, and after Zhao Ji said this, he would have to bear the burden of recovering Yanyun in the future!
With great power comes great responsibility!
โโโโ
After the Jin people left, Wu Song and other generals also returned to the garrison one after another, and the New Year was approaching, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty entered the most cumbersome time of the year.
Wu Zhi, as one of the senior officials, was tired enough before and after the New Year this year, but fortunately, the ladies were gentle and considerate, so he did not suffer from lumbar muscle strain.
finally survived the New Year, and it happened to be the birthdays of their four dolls, but this year's birthday Wu Zhi's family was very low-key and simple, just a light meal for a large family.
In mid-February, Wu Zhi held a banquet in Fanlou and invited two eunuchs.
One of these two eunuchs is Li Yan, the personal eunuch of His Majesty, Wu Zhi's "old friend", and the other is Liang Shicheng, the chief eunuch of the inner court, who leans towards the government and the opposition!
The reason why Liang Shicheng, a eunuch in charge of the inner court, leaned towards the government and the opposition, mainly because he secretly approved the imperial power of reading the chapter on behalf of Zhao Ji, this power is amazing, and the entire power of the Great Song Dynasty is only divided into two halves, one is a civil official system composed of thousands of officials; The other half was reserved for the Emperor alone.
The two powers are like two weights on the scales, and they are generally balanced with each other. And now the emperor has handed over his power to Liang Shicheng, and Liang Shicheng is naturally powerful.
Fortunately, Liang Shicheng held so much power and did not do anything too out of the ordinary, it was nothing more than corruption and bribery, ********, and promotion of cronies...... Doing something to accumulate money - although this is already a crime, it is nothing in the court where corrupt officials are rampant nowadays.
As long as he did not dictate to the administrative state policy and caused chaos in the court, Cai Jing and other civil officials not only did not trouble him, but got along with him very well.
Liang Shicheng has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has always served the queen, and generally does not leave the palace. And Wu Zhi is now an official scholar of Zhaowenguan, and he is recommended by Li Yan, but it is not difficult to meet the "hidden appearance" of the Great Song Dynasty.
"The old slave meets Master Wu."
As soon as Wu Zhi entered the box, Liang Shicheng immediately got up slowly and made a gesture.
Wu Zhi is a first-class civil official, and he has to make scenes when he befriends Liang Shicheng for the first time.
"Grandpa Liang!"
Wu Zhi also clasped his fists and saluted, and greeted Li Yan as well.
"There are no outsiders here, don't see the two of you, please sit down!" Li Yan, as an intermediary, hurriedly enlivened the atmosphere.
"Good, good"
Liang Shicheng sat down with a smile, and then picked up the teacup: "I don't know what Master Wu has to tell the old slave?" If you have something to say, whether you look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, the old slave will not refuse. โ
Wu Zhi smiled, Liang Shicheng was worthy of being Su Shi's illegitimate son, and he was really a smart person. He said this straight to the point that he really wanted to help himself, and he didn't say anything if he could help him, because he knew that he was a smart person like him, and if he couldn't help, he would definitely not look for him.
As for why he is so cheerful, of course, it is not that Wu Zhi has any friendship with him, but that he is a close confidant of the queen's mother, the last time the queen saw Wu Zhi say that Ling'er did not shy away from Liang Shicheng at all, Liang Shicheng knew that Wu Zhi and Queen Ling'er also had a relationship with his uncle Murong Yanda, where would he refuse this Wu Zhi for the first time when he asked him to do something.
"Haha! Father-in-law Liang is really straightforward, then I'll say it directly! Wu Zhi raised his wine glass and saluted Liang Shicheng: "Wu Mou actually has nothing else to do with Liang's father-in-law this time, just for this year's spring." โ
"It turned out to be for the spring to take the scholars."
Hearing this, Liang Shicheng smiled easily and took a sip of tea.
Chunfu is the ancient college entrance examination, for the national selection of officials, extremely important, in the past Chunfu all matters were arranged by the emperor himself. And after Zhao Ji delegated power, the most important person in the spring festival every year became Liang Shicheng, and whoever he wanted to win the champion could win the champion.
"It's simple, just draw up a list of students for me later, and I promise to let them become a jinshi." Liang Shicheng looked at Wu Zhi, "It's not impossible to send you a few top three." โ
With Wu Zhi's current power, it is not difficult to help students get a Jinshi quota, so Liang Shicheng thought that Wu Zhi would beg him definitely not for one or two people to ask for a Jinshi quota, but for many people, after all, Wu Zhi was the dean of Qingzhou College, and this year it is said that a large number of Qingzhou College graduates came to Bianjing to participate in the Spring Festival.
"Thank you father-in-law for your kindness!" Wu Zhi bowed to Liang Shicheng, and then said lightly: "But my father-in-law misunderstood, I didn't come to ask my father-in-law for a quota." โ
"And who are?"
Liang Shicheng looked puzzled, and Li Yan also looked at Wu Zhi a little strangely.
"I hope that from now on, my father-in-law will not interfere in the affairs of the Spring Festival."
As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Liang Shicheng's face suddenly changed, and Li Yan on the side was even more embarrassed.
"Why?"
Liang Shicheng squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Zhi faintly. Let him let go of Chunqiu, that is to cut off his financial route! Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!
Wu Zhi chuckled and shook his head: "There is no reason, my father-in-law will let it go in the future." โ
The tone is not high, but it is unmistakable.
Liang Shicheng looked at Wu Zhi with a calm face, his face twitched, he was very smart, but he was too selfish, he didn't understand Wu Zhi's real intention of asking him not to interfere with the country's selection, and Wu Zhi didn't bother to say anything high-sounding, because Liang Shicheng wouldn't believe it.
"Master Wu, do you want Gonggong Liang not to interfere in the Spring Festival, you have to make some conditions, right?" Li Yan smiled bitterly on the side.
For Wu Zhi's method, he has long understood it, Wu Zhi had asked him to let him give up all the large amount of land annexed in Hebei, at that time his face was not much better than the current Liang Shicheng, fortunately, Wu Zhi finally offered him five points of the Great Song Bank dry shares in exchange, so he swallowed this breath without feeling distressed.
"The conditions are naturally there, I can guarantee that after Gonggong Liang does not interfere in the Spring Festival, no one in the imperial court will dare to do anything in the Spring Festival!" Wu Zhi said lightly.
"That's all?"
Li Yan was stunned, what kind of quid pro quo is this? What about the benefits? At the very least, you have to give some bank shares or something, right?
Wu Zhi looked at Li Yan, if it weren't for Li Yan's friendship with him before and his loyalty to Ling'er, Wu Zhi would not have given him any shares when he recaptured the land for the people.
Now that Liang Shicheng is rich and rivals the country, Wu Zhi asked him not to stretch his hand so long and he didn't need to give any benefits, don't look at Liang Shicheng's power in his hands, but for Wu Zhi, a powerful minister who is deeply favored by the emperor and empress, Liang Shicheng can't fight Wu Zhi in the court or in the palace.
As long as Wu Zhi does Zhao Ji's work a little bit, and then finds Brother Murong to blow in front of the queen, he can let Liang Shicheng out of class in minutes!
Eunuchs and civil officials are different, civil officials have a chance to recover whenever they are demoted after class, and eunuchs, especially eunuchs like Liang Shicheng, who have been in power, are dead ends when they get out of the palace.
"Wu Zhi! Aren't you afraid of offending me! โ
Liang Shicheng threatened in a deep voice. He had already figured out that he had to promise Wu Zhi today, and he would threaten it.
"It's just that if you let Liang's father-in-law give up such petty profits, will you offend your father-in-law?" The corners of Wu Zhi's mouth rose, and he smiled faintly: "Father-in-law shouldn't be so stingy, right?" โ
"Humph!"
Liang Shicheng got up angrily, shook his sleeves and left without looking back, Li Yan looked at Wu Zhi helplessly, and hurriedly caught up.
"Father-in-law!"
Liang Shicheng just walked to the door, but he heard Wu Zhi's tone and said solemnly: "If his father-in-law is in trouble in the future, Wu Zhi will protect his father-in-law's life and let you enjoy your old age in peace." โ
"Humph!"
With a cold snort of disdain, Liang Shicheng left the box, but in addition to anger, there was actually a little sadness in his eyes.
Wu Zhi smiled, he knew that Liang Shicheng would pull his hand and would not hold a grudge against him.
Because Liang is a smart man.
And Wu Zhi asked Liang Shicheng not to interfere with Chunyu this time, in addition to restoring the fair order of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also because there are indeed many students from Qingzhou College who come to take the exam this year, and the gambling contract when he first came to Bianjing to meet Zhao Ji has expired!
Zhao Ji was afraid that he had forgotten it a long time ago, but Wu Zhi had not forgotten that in the three-year period, the students of Qingzhou College would compete with the students of Tai College.
After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the head of Tai Academy is equivalent to half of the Minister of Education of the Great Song Dynasty, and his status and power are not lower than that of Kaifeng Mansion Yin. Wu Zhi felt that being the head of the Tai Academy would not only enrich his resume as an official, but he also wanted to promote the university model of Qingzhou College to the entire Great Song Dynasty.
After becoming the head of Tai Academy, he must open a few more universities in Bianjing.
There are also women's colleges run by the ladies and Li Qingzhao and Li Shishi, which should almost be included in the Great Song Dynasty education system and promoted.
These can only be done by Wu Zhi when he is the head of the Tai Academy.
- I'm sorry for the past two days, brothers, but I didn't expect the new book to be a little popular...... But this is Gu Li's hard work, and it will be written down seriously, and the wonderful and obscene part is coming soon!
