No. 595 Empress Dowager Zhu's Thoughts 2 No. 3 Update
"Yes, what Daochang Cai said is true. We have discussed small things, and big things are still indispensable to the opinions of the Queen Mother. The six prime ministers were happy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, so they hurriedly suppressed the desire in their hearts and said respectfully.
"The queen mother, the concubine is still a guilty body, and she can accompany her children all the time, and the concubine is already satisfied. Please also ask the Queen Mother to take back your fate! Meng Shi is a woman who is greedy for power, and she is also sincere.
"Alas! Let's go! You guys! I just don't want the mourning family to be quiet for a few days. After listening to the words of the important ministers, Empress Dowager Zhu sighed and said.
In fact, she also knew in her heart that the possibility of her idea being implemented was very small. She knew in her heart that as long as she was alive for a day, it would be impossible for the Meng family to cross her and govern for her companions, not to mention, even if she restored her status as the queen, she would be a little unjustifiable.
"Dao'er, although the order you just gave is not wrong from the results, the method is wrong. Therefore the mourners will punish thee. Empress Dowager Zhu suddenly saw Cai Dao's smiling face, since she was not allowed to be idle, she decided that she could not be idle for this lazy boy.
"I implore the Queen Mother to condemn her. Poor Dao has indeed made a great mistake and deserves to be punished. Cai Dao didn't care, not to mention, he really did something wrong.
Even if Cai Dao didn't detain Zhang Dun, Zhang Duan wouldn't do anything more, because that was just looking for death.
"Since Dao'er rashly participated in political affairs, someone came, pulled off the Taoist robe from this kid, and went to prepare a cloth robe for him. Also, after a while, after Ban'er ascended the throne, he issued an order to let Zhang Dian Zhishi return to his hometown, and the position he left was temporarily held by Dao'er as a cloth cloth. As for forgiveness? Meng, what do you think? The Queen Mother suddenly said such a decision.
"Queen Mother, you can't!" Cai Dao was a little convened, and without this robe, it means that as long as Xiao Zhao is not in charge for a day, he will work hard for the Zhao family. Although the little child who is about to inherit the throne is likely to be his son. But he didn't want to give up his previous comfortable life at all.
It's a pity that the six prime ministers present know in their hearts that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, except for Zhang Dan, that is, this Luo Guozi is the most suitable to take over as the third envoy, and there is no more suitable person than him in the world. Whoever left the six of them to be this powerful financial minister turned out to be blind.
Empress Dowager Zhu's decision is really wise.
Therefore, after Empress Dowager Zhu's words were finished, none of the six prime ministers spoke, and they didn't even glance at Cai Dao, who had been giving them a look.
Meng Shi replied at this time: "Queen Mother, it is still up to the ministers to discuss the punishment of this person!" The concubine had no grudge against him. However, the Queen Mother, the concubine has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
"You say!" Empress Dowager Zhu nodded and said.
"Empress Dowager Xie. The southern expedition to the Great Yue Kingdom and the cure of the companion's illness, His Majesty has never rewarded Lord Cai, and the general who snatched His Majesty's dragon body just now, should he also immediately redeem the reward for them! Everyone didn't expect that Meng would actually say such a thing.
The merit is not rewarded, but Zhao Xu's reward for Cai Dao is still a little thinner.
"Queen Mother, since this is the case, while the new emperor will succeed to the throne, Lord Cai, that general, as well as Zhang Qi, Cai Bian, and Cai Xuan will be knighted together." Wang Bowang, Wang Qi's son, stood up and said approvingly.
"However, the Queen Mother, Lord Cai has two titles, but if you can be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, Lord Cai's merits are not enough, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" At this time, another old and serious prime minister asked.
"Hmmm! What Aiqing said is very true. However, about the Southern Expedition, you Aiqing don't need to mention it anymore, this meritorious mourner has other rewards for Dao'er. As for the others, according to Wang Qingjia's words, you should discuss the reward of the forbidden army in Beijing and other meritorious ministers in the western army. Empress Dowager Zhu said.
The matter of the southern expedition to the Great Yue Kingdom has been decided, and since Zhao Xu did not fulfill his promise to reward Cai Dao at that time, no matter what the reason, it is an unchangeable result.
Moreover, Empress Dowager Zhu did prepare a big gift for Cai Dao, a big surprise.
Just now, Wang Bowang only mentioned the issue of rewarding some civilian officials, but did not mention the issue of rewarding those meritorious generals in the Western Army.
In order not to cool the hearts of the front-line soldiers, besides, now that Xiao Zhao is about to succeed to the throne, he must first stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time, in order to guard against Zhang Qi, Empress Dowager Zhu asked the six prime ministers to continue to discuss the matter of rewarding.
At the same time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the forbidden army in Bianliang City also needed to be rewarded.
In short, it is a thousand things, and Zhao Xu's stay of these six prime ministers has come in handy.
Having said so much, in fact, what Empress Dowager Zhu wants to do most is to leave Cai Dao in Bianliang City, and the best thing is to be able to hold an official position and completely tie him to the Great Song Dynasty.
Now that orphans and widows have ascended the throne, who is not worried that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to make the Chenqiao Mutiny happen again.
Empress Dowager Zhu knew Cai Dao and knew that although this child was ambitious, she looked down on the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty, and she did not disdain to bully their orphans and widows. Although Cai Dao is a little cautious, he will repay his eyes, but that is for his enemies.
Those who make friends with him will receive corresponding benefits, and those who are willing to submit to him will be richly rewarded.
is like Pan Xiong of the Pan family, he was originally just a concubine of the Pan family, if Cai Dao did not appear, he would be like the concubines of other families, living this life mediocrely.
However, now looking at Pan Xiong, he has grown into a general who is in charge of one side, and has become the pillar of the Pan family and the leader of the new generation. However, Pan Xiong doesn't look down on these things at all now.
As Cai Dao often said to these henchmen in private, they worked hard for a lifetime, but it was just for the Zhao family. If the merit is great, the merit is high, and the merit will not die well, and the merit is small, even if you are embarrassed, it may be that the Great Song Dynasty did not leave a chance for yourself to perform. The warriors who defended the country were looked down upon by the literati and the common people, and the literati continued to fight each other against each other.
Zhang Dian is the best example, just a few days after the court stopped, he teamed up with the punishment and forgiveness, as well as Yang Wei, who had been hiding in the shadows, to eliminate dissidents and attack important ministers who might threaten his position.
This is how Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying were demoted from the capital.
Moreover, the biggest difference between Cai Dao and Zhang Dian is that Cai Dao never engages in a word, even if most of the time, his opinions are right, but he always asks for the opinions of his peers or subordinates.
