Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Falls (75)

"Han Xianggong went to the society."

"Hmm."

"Yang Qiangu [Yang Ji] went out of the city from Fengqiu Gate in the afternoon. In the past few days, he has gone out of the city from the north gate many times, probably to meet his outer house - Yang Qiangu's outer house is placed in Sanqingtai outside the gate...... But the grandson thinks it's not that simple. ”

"Hmm."

Su Xiang looked up at his grandfather first.

Su Song leaned back on the recliner, his eyes closed, and only a short nasal response, unable to figure out whether he was asleep or not.

Su Xiang moved his mouth first, and then lowered his head. Unable to get the expected reaction, he could only continue to read the secret report in his hand.

"Shen Shu secretly reported his illness, and the officials of the General Administration of Railways came to inquire, but only Fang Xing did not arrive."

"Hmm."

"Wang Zhongzheng left the palace in the afternoon and went to the mansion of the Duke of Tanguo."

"Hmm."

"Wang Sunsin is taking people to the horse race again today."

"It's a good ride."

Su Song finally opened his eyes and had a somewhat different reaction.

The actions of the prime minister, the privy council, and the council failed to make him open Chrysostom, but it was the news of Wang Sunchen, a vulgar martial artist, that got Su Song's reaction.

Su Xiang thought about it first, and said tentatively: "This one is used to being the only one in the Western Regions. ”

"Mention 3,000 soldiers and horses to expedition thousands of miles in the desert, with more than 10,000 lonely troops to guard the west for ten years, and the weakness of his temperament has long been eaten."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Beijing." Su Xiangxian said boldly.

Su Song glanced at his grandson and closed his eyes again.

Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head, his cheeks were hot, and the flame of shame overflowed in his heart.

Su Song suddenly opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of pressure, as if a basin of ice water was poured on Su Xiangxian's head, "Nothing else?" ”

Su Xiang first understood Fang Cai's gaffe, and let himself lose a lot of points in front of his grandfather, so he hurriedly cleaned up his mood and replied: "There is also the matter of Lu Guogong, I just got in the car and returned to Luoyang." ”

"Hmm." Su Song didn't seem to care about Wen Yanbo's actions, but he asked Su Xiang for his opinion first, "What do you think?" ”

Su Xiang couldn't figure out Su Song's thoughts first, and replied honestly, "...... The old man of Luguo was confused, and he was embarrassed again and again. ”

"I'm not confused, I'm very shrewd, but I'm not smart." Su Song raised his eyes and looked at his grandson, who loved his cousin too much, and emphasized, "You can not be very shrewd, but you must be smart." ”

Su Song watched his grandson's face turn red.

Children and grandchildren are never worry-free. Su Song, who is in his twilight years, can only sigh.

Although he has the ability to be admitted to the Jinshi, because he is too close to Zaifu, he thinks that he has the ability to be Zaifu, which is equivalent to half Zaifu. The common problem of the children of the gentleman is that there is never a shortage of children and grandchildren.

Lack of sufficient self-knowledge, like a participant in the preparatory meeting of the Great Council.

The preparatory meeting is.

The only thing that was certain to be done at the meeting was a waste of time.

In fact, the final resolution of the preparatory meeting has now been placed in Su Song's study. It will be promulgated in the name of the constitution after three or four preparatory meetings.

The most basic is only nine, and according to Han Gang, it is not easy to settle down.

The rest of the election and how to discuss politics can be discussed slowly, and if there are inopportune things in the future, they can also be changed, but the content of the constitution cannot be changed by a single word - in Su Song's view, this is just a decorative term, used to distinguish between important and unimportant provisions.

Of course, regardless of whether Han Gang's words are accurate or not, these inside facts will not be told to the old ministers and the sons of the elders who participated in the preparatory meeting. The first draft they saw had dozens or hundreds of articles, and the nine articles of the predetermined constitution were hidden in it.

When participants want to try their hand at power, they can gradually remove these non-important clauses to show that they have made a concession. Regardless of whether there will be anyone among them who will see through it - in Su Song's opinion, this possibility is not small, among the people who are invited, there are not many fools who lack eyesight - with the respect of the prime minister, being able to sit down and give people room for bargaining in a decent manner, regardless of true feelings or falsehoods, it can be regarded as giving enough respect to the participants.

After Wen Yanbo was disposed of, there were not a few people who were scared and silent, if it weren't for the fact that Nei should be in it, this plan would have been greatly discounted. However, under the encouragement of Nei Ying, coupled with the weakness of Han Gang and Zhang Dan, it has only been two days, and many people have lost their weight.

Do you want to praise Zhang Dian and Han Gang for their full preparation, or do you have to sigh that it is the eternal reason to be dizzy?

The more he looked at Sun Tzu, the more Su Song thought of the participants who didn't know his importance, and the more he felt that his choice was correct.

"Let's go down first." Su Song was really tired.

"Grandfather!"

Su Xiangxian didn't think about it, and left obediently, but stood still.

"Why, what else do you want to say?"

Su Song raised his eyelids, and his heart became more and more displeased.

Seeing Su Song's grim expression, Su Xiang's original determination dissipated most of it, and he barely gathered his remaining will, and said, "Grandson, I want to ask my grandfather, what do you want to do?" ”

Su Song's face was solemn, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Su Xiang started first, but he became bold, "The court is secret, and my grandson shouldn't ask too much." But grandfather, Zhang, and Han are planning and plotting, where do they want to make the world go, and the grandson is brave, and he asks his grandfather to tell him one or two. ”

Su Song's heart sank.

Because of his identity, the Su family is on the cusp of the storm, and in order to allow the family to survive safely, he has to involve his children and grandchildren.

It's just that the qualifications of children and grandchildren are not optimistic, and there are many confidential things that Su Song didn't tell them. I only want to hide it in my heart and take it to the grave in the future.

Maybe after getting involved, seeing the change in shape, the sons have a little calculation in their hearts, but it's been so long, and no one dares to ask him in person. But this grandson, stunned, actually asked.

But Su Song wasn't sure, this was really Su Xiangxian's own thoughts, "Is this question instigated by your father?" ”

Regarding his grandfather's suspicions, Su Xiang first insisted, "It's the grandson himself who wants to ask!" ”

Su Song stared at his grandson's face, wanting to see something, "What do the two governments want to do, haven't they been announced?" If it's really a secret, how can you be mixed in. ”

Su Xiang said first: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, the Son of Heaven is detained, my grandfather was powerful for a while, and Youyun is governed with the world's corporal doctors, so I can't help my grandson not worry about the future." ”

"You're going to rebel when I'm waiting?" Su Song was shocked to realize that he had said too little to his family, so that they all had undue worries, "You can also be admitted to the Jinshi this year, and the historian's book should have been read intensively." Have you ever seen who would have rebelled so much in history? Even if he deceives the world and steals his fame like Wang Mang, he is trying to monopolize power, rather than dividing power from outside. ”

Su Xiang looked out for a moment and said in a low voice, "This is exactly what my grandson is afraid of!" ”

Su Song's face was expressionless, and he patted the small table next to him, "Let's hear it." ”

Su Xiang sat down next to Su Song first and leaned into his ear, "If my grandfather wants to seek a great position, my grandson would rather die here first than dare to do something without a plan." ”

Su Song's heart was a little sad, could it be that in the hearts of his children and grandchildren, he was such a wrong-hearted person.

"Your grandfather knows his age." Su Song said coldly, with the loyalty and filial piety of Confucianism, this grandson is afraid that he will not believe it.

Su Xiangxian said again: "If the grandfather wants to seek tiger skin for others, and the grandson is unknown, why bother? ”

"Definitely. Zhang Zihou and Han Yukun did not dare to do such a rebellious thing. ”

Su Xiangxian's voice also cooled down, "With what my grandfather did, but he still hesitated, the Su family died at both ends." ”

Su Song tilted his head and looked at his grandson, "Have you ever seen the holy face of the Son of Heaven?" Do you know what the temperament of the Son of Heaven is? What about endowments? ”

"My grandson has never been Mu Qingguang. The temperament of the Son of Heaven can only be the same as that of people. But Yingrui is the emperor, and mediocrity is also the emperor. As long as he is still in the great position, a qiΔ“ is different from a courtier. ”

Su Song shook his head, there were some things he couldn't say deeper, "Believe Han Gang, time is on his side." ”

Yes, time was on Han Gang's side - although saying so would definitely make Sun Tzu want to be crooked - but Su Song didn't mind.

For Su Song, it is not so much that he believes in Han Gang's judgment on the longevity of the Son of Heaven, but rather that he believes in Han Gang's age.

In 20 years, the general trend of the world has been renewed. In other words, twenty years ago, who could believe it?

With Han Gang's physical condition, he still has at least thirty to forty years of life, which is a lifespan that no one in the current dynasty can reach.

For Tianshui Zhao, Su Song does have feelings, but Su Song's feelings for his achievements are even deeper.

He didn't want to see his life's work ruined by future generations.

'The king should be heavenly, not a man. The wise rule together, and the parliament supervises it. ’

It sounds a little unreliable, but in fact, it's 'not very useful' - this is said by Han Gang himself.

It's not very useful, and to put it bluntly, it's useless.

It's useless at allβ€”if it's not backed by forceβ€”that's Su Song's own understanding.

The lack of force to support power is like a flower that has been cut off, which still looks beautiful, but in fact withers in the blink of an eye.

Nine out of ten of the legislators who have been elected now have the idea that it is a fool not to take advantage of them.

Su Song didn't believe that they would firmly defend the Great Council.

Once the emperor returns to power, when they call the emperor long live, they will definitely not remember what the sages rule together, they will only say that the Su thief, the chapter thief, and the Han thief are demagogic, and if they are not deceived for a while, they really deserve death.

Perhaps in the future, when they fear the emperor's unpredictable power, they will regret it and realize how precious it is to give it up.

- If Han Gang didn't have military power in his hands, he would definitely become like this in the future.

But Han Gang has a firm grasp of military power, and even more firmly grasps time, which is an advantage that no one can match.

"Don't ask any more." Su Song raised his rugged right hand, blocked Su Xiangxian's questioning, and repeated one side again, "Remember this, time is on Han Gang's side." ”

After a pause, Su Song said in a low voice, "If you are still worried, wait until tomorrow to ask." ”
