Chapter 168: Recommending Famous Generals
Compared with Cai Jing's high-profile, the reception of Jin Chongyue and others was much more low-key.
I chose a quiet pavilion in a second-rate restaurant in Bianliang.
When Zhao Hao walked into the pavilion, there were not many people present, only a few people, and when they saw Zhao Hao coming in, they all got up to greet each other, looking quite excited.
Jin Chongyue, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites from the second grade, Xu Churen, a scholar from the Guanwen Temple, and Wu Min from the fourth grade.
These three people are the representatives of the Qing school in the court.
Although the Qing faction is considered a faction, before the Jin people went south, it was almost uncompetitive above the court, and it could only survive in the gap between the two factions of Tong Guan and Cai Jing.
The real strong rise of the Qing school was that the Jin people went south, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong ascended the throne, and Chen Dong, a student of Tai, wrote a book to punish the six thieves, Li Gang, Zong Ze and others were pushed to the court, and only then did they usher in the spring of the Qing school.
However, Zhao Hao knew that the energy of the Qing faction was more terrifying than the energy of any party in history.
Qingliu was the name of a political faction within the ruling class during the feudal dynasty of China. They commented on current affairs, omitted their opinions, impeached ministers, reprimanded eunuchs, and advocated external and hellish affairs outside the country, and internally advocated the rectification of discipline.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were students Guo Tai and Jia Biao, and ministers Li Ying and Chen Fan joined forces to criticize the government, expose the evils of the eunuch group, and open up the first school of the Qing Dynasty.
After that, the Qingliu Party almost ran through the entire history, such as the Qing school headed by the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, the former Qing school headed by Li Hongzao in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Later Qing school headed by Weng Tongshu.
Although the Qing school in history regarded themselves as loyal ministers and took it as their responsibility to worry about the country and the people, there were those who worked hard to save the country, and there were also those who misled the country with empty talk.
However, the Qingliu Party in history basically did not like the emperor, and most of them had little time in the court, but outside the court, they almost occupied the folk mouthpiece for thousands of years, and there was even no shortage of people who reversed black and white.
Those who are disliked by the Qingliu Party will inevitably be hacked out by the Qingliu Party, such as Yan Song and others; Anyone who is in the Qingliu Party, even if he is corrupt and perverts the law, will be beautified as a tall and all-round character, such as Xu Jue, who is even more corrupt than Yan Song.
This is because most of the Qingliu Party regard themselves as loyal to the country, honest and honest, and they are deeply worshiped by scholars and literati all over the world, especially those from poor families, and they are often famous for their emperors, so the world's scholars, especially those who boast of their own style, will attach themselves to it, admire it, and take it as an example.
The power of the world is in the hands of the emperor and the ministers, but the mouthpiece of public opinion is in the hands of the Qingliu Party most of the time.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hao attaches importance to the Qingliu Party.
For Zhao Hao, what is most needed is not power, but fame.
To put it bluntly, he has a system in hand, and he is a clan, and now that the troubled times are about to arise, it is not difficult for him to add a yellow robe, but if he wants to erase the reputation of being in a bad position, it is even more difficult, after all, there are hundreds of people in the clan within three suits, and according to the rules, even if Zhao Ji and dozens of his sons are dead, it will not be his turn Zhao Hao to take the throne.
The only way is to build momentum and create a Wei Guangzheng image who worries about the country and the people, and is wise and martial, so that the people of the world can come to the conclusion that Zhao Hao is not enough to save the Great Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, even if he is in a yellow robe, he will soon face a situation of endless internal strife and endless external troubles, and it will be difficult to end.
In the pavilion, the dishes are also extremely simple.
A plate of crispy fish with bones, a plate of dried meat, a bowl of tofu soup, a plate of fried eggs, a plate of fried cabbage, and a jar of daughter red.
Four officials of the fourth grade or above, in the Great Song Dynasty, where the officials were extremely rich, only ordered five dishes and one wine, which can be regarded as wonderful.
Showing people with the image of diligence and thrift is a typical style of the Qing school.
Zhao Hao didn't care, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries, then sat down generously, each of the four of them occupied a side, and talked about the wine, although the dishes were simple, the daughter was only five years old, but she also ate deliciously.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was not seen at all, the expressions of the three of them became more and more solemn, and their eyes were full of reverence, after all, although the other party's official position was small, it was a clan born with a golden key, and it was born in the rich and rival Jiangning Zhao Mansion, and it has always been pampered.
After the third round of drinking, the old man Jin Chongyue's face was already red and his mouth was red, and his voice was getting higher and higher.
Bang~
The old man suddenly tilted his neck, drank a glass of wine, and then slammed the table, and said excitedly: "Now that I am in the Great Song Dynasty, it seems that the four seas are peaceful, but in fact, the officials are corrupt, the people are not happy, and there is a northern trouble, and the clouds have not recovered. ”
Zhao Hao looked stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, but Xu Churen on the side had already picked up the words: "Jin Tolerance, when Dr. Zhao was in Jiangnan, he scattered all the money and grain to help the people. Now that Dr. Zhao has just entered Bianliang, he beat Gao Yanei on the street, and the people are happy, and he sacrifices himself to protect and eliminate the thief Gao Yu in the vegetable market, as a model for my generation, the leader in the clan, how can I complain? ”
Zhao Hao's face was silent, but he smiled indifferently and said: "I can't hide it, in the middle of the next day, I went to my husband's banquet on the Bianhe River, and King Yun and my husband went on a blind date in front of the Moon Tower......
The three of them were about to continue talking when they sang and harmonized, but when they heard Zhao Hao say this, they couldn't help but change their faces.
The old man Jin Chongyue was anxious, his face became more and more red, and he pointed at Zhao Hao and said angrily: "In this way, the old man has mistaken Doctor Zhao!"
Zhao Hao laughed, laughing without saying a word.
Xu Churen understood, laughed and said: "Since the prince went to the banquet of the Moon Tower, if he is in the same stream, how can he come here again tonight?" ”
He is not called Zhao Hao Zhao Doctor, but called him Gongzi, which is already extremely intimate.
Jin Chongyue and Wu Min, seeing that Zhao Hao's expression had acquiesced, also laughed, and the three of them raised their glasses together and toasted Zhao Hao.
Although Zhao Hao didn't say too many words, the three of them already had the same heart, and they were no longer restrained when they chatted.
And Zhao Hao knew that Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen and the other three were all real loyal ministers, and they were also in the same main battle faction as Li Gang, Zong Ze and others in history, and they were quite respectful.
What's more, he needs the mouthpiece of the Qing genre even more to build momentum for himself.
When talking about the rise, Wu Min smiled bitterly: "Although the son is loyal and upright, dedicated to the country, and has won the trust of the officials, it is difficult to support him alone......"
Xu Churen answered: "I don't know what the head of the three yas thinks about this time?" You must know this, the intention of the official family seems to be all in the words of the son, and the son must not be careless. ”
Zhao Hao didn't know what the three old foxes meant, and said with a slight smile: "Although Li Boji is a pillar of talent, the official family doesn't like it, and his current rank is too low, if he is the head of the three ya, it is difficult to convince the public, I recommend one person, he will be able to take this big responsibility, and the official family should also accept it." ”
The three of them looked stunned, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know who the son wants to recommend?" ”
Zhao Hao smiled, stretched out his fingers, dipped them in wine, and wrote three big characters on the table.
The three of them stared at those three words, and after reading them carefully, they all showed a relieved look on their faces.
The old man Jin Chongyue was even more convinced, and sighed: "Although the prince has just entered the court, he knows everything about the ministers of the court, this person is indeed more suitable than Li Boji, and the old man admires it!" ”
Suddenly, the three of them glanced at each other, got up in unison, and bowed to Zhao Hao: "Now above the court, it is rotten, fortunately the son is wise, and he has won the trust of the official family. ”
Zhao Hao finally let out a long breath in his heart.
The Qingliu party is the party he wants to win over the most, and now it has surrendered to himself, and it will have twice the result with half the effort in a certain period of time for the future grand plan and hegemony.
As for the long run, the policy of emphasizing literature over military force will change sooner or later, and the policy of sharing the world between scholars and officials is even more unlikely to continue for a long time, and he Zhao Hao will sooner or later touch the interests of scholars and doctors, and it is unknown whether the Qingliu Party will still be his staunch supporters, but at that time, he will no longer need to deliberately win over anyone.
……
The next morning.
Everyone still arrived at the vertical arch hall on time, arranged shifts in order, and waited for the arrival of the official's house.
It's just that the atmosphere above the court has become more and more weird and solemn.
If nothing else, the results of the battle between the three yas will be announced today, and the winners and losers will be divided.
Cai Jing and the others no longer count on Zhao Hao, but they are not completely without countermeasures and sit back and wait for death. As for Tong Guan's party, Zhao Hao was originally listed as a member of the same party, and secretly inquired that Zhao Hao was at the banquet in Wangyue Tower, and he did not give Cai Jing and others any face, and he was even more relieved in his heart, and he was already gearing up and preparing for the last fight.
With the sound of footsteps, Zhao Ji, surrounded by Liang Shicheng and others, came up and boarded the dragon chair.
After some etiquette, Liang Shicheng still has the same words for many years, "You have something to do, and you have nothing to retreat from."
As soon as the words fell, Tang Ke, the head of the household department, had already stepped forward, took the lead in mentioning the matter of the head of the three ya, and recommended Liu Yanqing to be appointed again.
Zhao Ji didn't wait for Tang Ke to finish speaking, he had already interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, looked at the sequence of the three rank masters, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is Zhao Hao?" ”
Zhao Hao had already prepared this time, slowly came out of the ranks, and said respectfully: "Weichen is here!" ”
Zhao Ji asked: "The head of the three ya, have you ever thought about who to recommend?" ”
In an instant, hundreds of eyes in the entire court all looked at Zhao Hao, and the audience was silent.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, straightened his official robe, and helped the long wings on the pipe hat, and then replied solemnly: "Weichen recommended the famous general of Pingxi Xia, the deputy commander of the guard pro-army horse army, and the Ying Dao army Chengxuan envoy Uncle Yi as the head of the Sanya Forbidden Army, and I hope that the official family will approve it!" ”
As soon as Zhao Hao's voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.
PS: I'm a little unwell, and I can't do it for three more......
