Chapter 64: The Way to Stop Chaos
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tao Qing sat quietly, reviewing some recitals and texts.
Wang Sheng was kneeling and sitting on the side, and after seeing that Tao Qing was busy, he hurriedly said, "Tao Gong, Uncle Zhang has done his best there." ”
Tao Qing sighed softly, indicating that he knew, and did not speak, obviously these were all expected by him, after all, Uncle Zhang was still a person with some integrity.
Wang Sheng was a little unwilling, because since he defected to Tao Qing's command, as long as he went out, he had never failed, but this time Zhang Ou didn't give him face, so he said angrily: "Tao Gong and Uncle Zhang have known each other for decades, and I can't imagine that for these nonsense things, he will turn against Tao Gong, which is really dampening!" ”
Tao Qing shook his head a little tiredly when he heard this, and said, "Not really, it's just that the political views are different, and you don't need to be beaten to death with a stick." ”
When Wang Sheng heard this, he immediately understood in his heart, since Tao Qing said this, it showed that he could do something to Zhang Ou.
Tao Qing's meaning couldn't be more obvious, "You don't need to be beaten to death with a stick", which means that you can take his position as a court lieutenant, and the rest can be held accountable.
After all, Tao Qing is the prime minister, some words can't be said so bare fruit, the prime minister still has to have a tolerant heart, of course, this is said to his own people.
Wang Sheng was just about to say goodbye and leave, pondering about Zhang Ou's affairs, Tao Qing suddenly said faintly: "Wang Sheng, you may not know it, Your Majesty admired the will of the Empress Dowager and killed Liu Wu, the king of Chu, in Chang'an. ”
Wang Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty has really decided to cut the domain?" Aren't you afraid that the Chu State will rebel? ”
"Although Liu Ning, the eldest son of the King of Chu, is only thirty years old, he is a tyrannical person, and he has the support of the King of Wu.
"Tao Gong, you have to make plans early!" Wang Sheng said worriedly.
Tao Qing sighed and said: "The old man knows all these things you said, but Your Majesty has long had the heart to cut the domain, and he can't bear those princes and kings for a long time. ”
"You must know that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't be in a hurry! But this person is bent on his own merits and ignores the reality of the Han court, it is really ... Speaking of this, Tao Qing's eyes flashed with a very vague murderous intent.
If it was just a political disagreement between Tao Qing and Chao Cuo before, then Tao Qing was really murderous about Chao Cuo at this time.
Because of such a big matter as killing Liu Wu, the king of Chu, Emperor Jing didn't even discuss with him Tao Qing, you must know that he Tao Qing is the prime minister! It's not a cat or a dog.
Taking a step back and saying that killing the King of Chu is an internal matter of the clan, but it is always necessary to say hello to the prime minister and Zongzheng, and this procedure on the surface still needs to be followed, but how did Chao do it?
It can be arranged by one person directly, and eating alone will violate the taboo of officialdom, and such a desperate grasp of power is also a taboo, or the wrong hand of that sentence is stretched too long.
At this time, Tao Qing did not want to cut off the wrong hand, but also to cut off his head, otherwise he Tao Qing would really become the clay prime minister of the country for 50 years.
Prime Minister Zuo Tianzi reconciles yin and yang and commands hundreds of officials, it is not simple, it requires iron-fisted means, otherwise how can it be able to control the field?
At this time, someone suddenly walked in in a hurry, Tao Qing regarded him as a eunuch in the palace, and saw him bowing and saying, "I have seen the prime minister." ”
Then the book in his hand continued: "Prime Minister, this is the will of His Majesty to canonize the princes and kings. ”
Hearing this, Tao Qing hurriedly got up and took the book, and instead of opening it, he asked, "Who drafted this will?" ”
He obviously asked knowingly, and the chamberlain didn't dare to hide it: "It was done by the Imperial Doctor." ”
Tao Qing frowned when he heard this, but he didn't want to be angry with the waiter, after all, the waiter represented the face of Emperor Jing, so he had to wave his hand to let the waiter retreat.
The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked out.
Tao Qing picked up the book and began to watch it slowly, bowing his head while reading, because he completely agreed with the opinions written on it to canonize Liu Wu's third son, after all, only in this way can the interests of the imperial court be maximized.
Wang Sheng was eager to know the content, so he said with a smile: "Duke Tao canonized Liu Ning as the will of the king of Chu?" ”
Tao Qing said with a strange face when he heard this: "Yes and no." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Sheng asked suspiciously.
"It's... Forget it, see for yourself! Tao Qing handed the book to Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng also began to look through the book slowly, and the nonsense of the emperor's grace in front of him was omitted, and he waited until he saw that "Liu Lin, the third son of Liu Wu, inherited the title of King of Chu, Wang Pengcheng, the second son Liu Yan is the king of Donghai, Wang Donghai County, and the eldest son Liu Ning is the king of Lu, and Wang Xue County." ”
Wang Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "This trick and strategy is really good, Su Qin Zhang Yi and other vertical and horizontal families are probably nothing more than that!" The soldiers leveled the Chu country without blood, it was really powerful, Wang Sheng was ashamed of himself! ”
"But this is a bit of a superficial waste of growing up and standing young, but it is the way to take chaos! If Tao Gong wants this will to be foolproof, he should..." Having said this, Wang Sheng's voice became smaller and smaller, because he felt that his subject was a little off, so Tao Qing's face was a little gloomy.
Wang Sheng was a little annoyed for a while, when will this problem of liking to mess with ideas be changed!
Of course, this kind of problem is not easy to change, just like someone who has to go to the toilet before going to bed at night, regardless of whether they have the urge to urinate or not, a sentence is customary.
Wang Sheng didn't know that it was precisely because of his habit of liking to come up with ideas and talk nonsense that Tao Qing fell into the field of the prime minister in the future and almost died.
Tao Qing also felt that this plan was good, but he also felt awkward, because this plan was not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the edict was issued by the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was equivalent to asking him to carry the black cauldron!
Although the will is very clear, the biggest thing in the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times is not the Son of Heaven, nor is it the prime minister or the queen mother, but the rules, the kind of rules that have not changed for thousands of years.
Although the three sons of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, are all concubines, but after all, the young and the young are orderly, although the king of Chu can't talk about abolishing the long and young here, after all, they are only princes and kings, so this opening can be opened, but it can't be opened from Tao Qing.
Because Tao Qing relied on these to maintain his career in the sea of eunuchs, if you put it another fashionable way, it is politics, governance, life and life.
Obviously, this idea is so black-bellied, and it is in line with the style of the Zongheng family, so Tao Qing naturally pressed this on Chao Buzhi's head.
Because of the people around Chao Cuo who can use such means, apart from Chao Buzhi, Tao Qing really can't think of anyone else.
Tao Qing has never heard of a sentence, that is, there will be a counterattack day for Diaosi.
Tian Wei was only willing in the first half of his life, but he didn't expect to finally shine in front of Emperor Jing, and he was also worn by Tao Qing.
