The butler's words are not false. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After sitting in Du's mansion for a long time, Du Chong heard him coming, so he put down his official duties and hurried back to his house.

There were only two uncles and nephews left in the hall.

Du Chong looked at the house full of gifts and said with a smile: "About it, you and I are a family, why be so polite." You know, the old man has never paid attention to the rich woman. ”

He is a mean and cruel person, who likes to play with power, but he has little interest in money. As the saying goes, a young husband cannot be without money for a day, and a big husband cannot be without power for a day.

As long as there is power, nothing can be obtained.

As he spoke, he opened a bamboo basket, but his eyes lit up: "It's a shame that you have a heart, not bad, not bad." ”

It turned out that it was full of dried longan, dried bananas, fungus, mushrooms, yellow flowers and other dry goods, which were rare in the years when the merchants were not prosperous in the south.

Du Shu saw that Du was full of intentions, and his heart was also happy. He peeked at it, but saw that Du Chong's face was a little swollen and looked unhealthy, so he hurriedly asked: "Uncle is working hard, I see that your complexion is very bad, your old man is our backbone, take care." What kind of medicine does my uncle need, the little nephew sent some from Jianghan. ”

"I don't have any medicine here, but you have this heart, and the old man is also comforting." Du Chong sighed softly and arched his hand in the southeast direction: "After all, he is an old man, from Hebei to Jiangnan, he has traveled along the way, his affairs are complicated, and his body is so good." However, the official family has been very kind to me, and I was promoted from a government to a governor of the government, and the sky is high, so I can only repay this old bone. ”

This is a scene.

Du Chong was originally a narrow-minded person, thinking that Du Shu was his nephew, and felt that there was no need for the family to say these empty words, so he couldn't help but snort: "About it, when you left Jiankang, you also came to see the old man once, and at that time a certain complexion was not bad until now, it is really a traitor in the court, the old man is simply unpleasant to eat these days, and he is angry!" ”

As he spoke, he threw one of the dried dragon's eyes in his hand to the ground.

Du Shu was shocked and hurriedly helped Du Chong to the chair: "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

"What else, it's just that someone has taken a look at this chair under a certain ass." Du Chong patted the armrest of the chair with his hand and scolded: "Du Shu, you have a lot of alcohol, how much have you drunk?" Drunk and dreaming of death is ridiculous. If the old man falls, it will be up to you and Wang Shen to see what will happen to you. The old man originally thought that you were a worthy person, but today I was disappointed to see you foolishly. ”

was scolded by him, and Du Shu didn't dare to make a sound.

Du Shu is a good-tempered person, and after being careful for a long time, the waiter Du Chong ate a cup of hot tea, and it was not easy for the anger in his uncle's heart to calm down.

Without waiting for him to ask, Du Chong let out a long sigh: "The old man originally thought that Zhang Deyuan had gone to Shaanxi, and Lu Yihao had resigned as prime minister. With the merits of the old man, and guarding Jiankang and the southeast half of the country, how could he have entered the palm print of the political hall, but he still missed a little bit after thousands of calculations. ”

Du Shu interjected: "Uncle is not on good terms with Fan Zongyin Fan?" He knew that when he went to Huangzhou with Wang Shen at the beginning of this year, the political situation in the DPRK and China changed again, and Fan Zongyin, who was far away in Ezhou, was recalled to Lin'an at the same time, and he rose all the way.

The speed of promotion is really lightning fast, which is dazzling.

After he became the prime minister, many people still didn't know who this person was.

Du Chong is famous, when Zhao Ding was the prime minister in the past, everyone knew that he was just a temporary generation, with Zhao Xianggong's prestige and ability, it was not enough to coordinate yin and yang, and the communication up and down left and right, sooner or later would be replaced by stronger people.

Zhao Ding himself is also well aware of this, and he has a quiet personality on weekdays, and he is not very new in political affairs.

Later, Zhao Ding resigned as prime minister and Lu Yihao came to power. This man is a prestige and can control the scene, but unfortunately he later broke things and could no longer accommodate himself in the court.

At this time, the only people who could take his place were Zhang Jun and Du Shu. Zhang Deyuan is self-evident, his prestige is extremely high, and Du Chong holds the power of the two Huai soldiers, and after holding the Jiankang Mansion, he is also famous all over the world.

But the final result was that Zhang Jun went to Shaanxi, but the position of prime minister fell to Fan Zongyin, which was really surprising.

Du Chong snorted, full of annoyance: "It's not harmonious, it's naturally not harmonious." He Fan Zongyin was just a prefect before, so why did he do the palm print of the political hall. He is the prime minister, and the old man is the right minister, so naturally he can't get along. ”

Seeing that his uncle was not writing to vent his dissatisfaction, Du Shu echoed: "My nephew is also unwilling for my uncle." With the credit of his uncle, he presided over the state affairs, and everyone expected it, and the officials didn't know what they were thinking. ”

After Qin Hui returned to the court, he claimed to have killed the Jin soldiers who were monitoring him, grabbed the boat and fled back, and the courtiers were more skeptical. It was Fan Zongyin and Privy Council Li Hui who tried their best to protect his loyalty. ”

Du Shu asked: "The Qin Hui that my uncle said is the left secretary of Jing Kangnian and the Qin Huizhi in the imperial history." ”

Du Chong: "Who else could he be?" ”

"Wasn't he captured by the Jurchens, he had been a prisoner of the Jurchen rank all these years, and suddenly ran back, saying that he had killed the Jin soldiers who were monitoring him and returned to the south, no one knew if it was true or not, how could he be entrusted with a big responsibility?"

"Who said it wasn't, but with Fan Zongyin's guarantee, the official family just believed it. Moreover, Fan also paid homage to the prime minister because of this. ”

"Therefore, how can an old minister who has returned to the south change the situation of the court?" Du Shu was puzzled.

Du Chong: "It's not that this time the Jurchens are going south, and the official family is going all the way in, I'm really scared, tired, and I don't want to fight anymore." Qin Hui went south this time, and someone from Fan was promoted, and he entered the palace to make peace, proposing to make peace with the Jin State, and follow the example of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to divide the river and rule. Qin also said that in order to promote this peace conference, 'if you want the world to be fine, the south is from the south, and the north is from the north.' ’”

Du Shu's color changed, and he took a breath of cold air: "Isn't it ridiculous that the southerners return to the south, and the northerners return to the north?" We are all northerners, is it possible that we will all be removed from our official positions and rushed back to Hebei? There are few real southerners. Could it be that the official family allowed such a madman to bark wildly in the court? ”

"Yes, it's ridiculous, the official family was also annoyed at the time, saying that the south is from the south, the north is from the north, I am originally from the north, is it possible to let me return to the north?" Du Chong said: "I originally thought that Qin would be kicked out of the court and never be used. It's no wonder that it's here, within a few days, Qin was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Zongyin, who recommended him, was also promoted to prime minister. ”

"This ......" Du Shu was dumbfounded.

Du Chong's face was depressed: "At this time, the old man realized that the official family was really tired of being chased by the Jurchens, and wanted to enjoy happiness in half of the south of the Yangtze River." Just recently, the official family also said that they would build a large number of buildings and palaces and gardens on the edge of the West Lake in Hangzhou, making it clear that there was no intention of the Northern Expedition to recover their homeland. It's ridiculous that the old man hasn't figured out the holy will for the past year, and he still says that he wants to use troops against Jiangbei all day long. I knew that I would also discuss peace, but I preempted the latecomer surnamed Qin. ”

"The most ridiculous thing is Fan Zongyin, who also wants to capture the military power by using troops in the north, but now he has made a wedding dress for Qin Hui, the lord and faction, and has become the benefactor surnamed Qin."

"Moreover, according to the old man, Qin Hui is also a treacherous villain, and his methods are extremely spicy! He is now a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and in the future, I will discuss peace with the Jurchens, in order to win the trust of the Jurchens to show their attention, I will not be promoted to the political hall to be the minister, and at that time, I will come to grab the position of the old man. ”

Yes, if Qin Hui enters the political affairs hall, the first unlucky person is him Du Chong. After all, among the several ministers in the political affairs hall, only Du Chong's foundation is the thinnest, and he does not have his own mountain in the court. If you don't take him, who else can you take out?

Du Shu: "Uncle, how is this good?" ”

"Of course, I am going to fall, and he Fan Zongyin will also be unlucky. Peers are enemies, and once the surnamed Qin gains power, Fan Shoufu's position is afraid that he will not be able to sit still. Who called him the main battle, and the official family was bent on peace, Qin Hui seemed to be promoted, and he was the one who released it to probe the wind. Qin Hui entered the political hall with peace and policy, and he was bound to be the enemy of Fan Zongyin. Du Chong gloated and said: "Although the old man has a shallow foundation, he is in charge of the army, and if he doesn't do it, it's a big deal to stay behind." Fan Zongyin is a prefect in the district, and his roots are even shallow, and he was suddenly promoted to Zaifu, and there are many people who are jealous of him. In the future, once it is removed by Qin Hui, I don't know what the end will be? Fan Xianggong is now just afraid that it will be as if he has swallowed a fly, and he is already disgusting, right? ”

Du Chong didn't think about what he should do next, but laughed at Fan Zongyin first. Du Shu was speechless for a while: "What my uncle said is just speculation, and things may not be like this in the future." ”

"It's not necessarily that way, that's for sure." Du Chong sneered: "Qin Hui returned to the south with hundreds of retinues, and now they are all appointed as Beijing officials, even the shipwright who opened the ship for him...... What's the name, by the way, it's called Sun Jing. A vulgar savage who can't read big characters also fills the official as Chengxinlang, which shows the current saint of Qin Hui. ”

After sneering, he changed back to his previous decadent appearance: "It seems that the situation is not good, and the old man is afraid that he will not be able to stay in the political hall for a few days." ”

Hearing him say this, Du Shu also became worried.

But he was a bad middle-aged person who was used to drinking all day. Although he has a good character, he is actually a bad person who has no ability.

Suddenly he was so anxious that he couldn't stop rubbing his hands: "Oh no, no, no." ”

"What are you anxious about, it's a big deal to take one step at a time, and we'll talk about it later." Du Chong: "About Zhi, why did you come to Jiankang to see the old man this time?" ”
