Chapter 55: Dialing (4)
Zhao Guangyi and the ministers had already preconceived notions, and believed Lu Mengxiu's words, even if Lu Mengzheng opened his mouth to refute at this time, no one believed him anymore, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't know what to do. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If in the past, an official committed this kind of human crime, whether it was the emperor or the ministers, he would have been dismissed and killed, but Lu Mengzheng is not as good as others, he is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, in charge of the court, and now the prime minister Zhao Pu is dying, and Lu Mengzheng is the candidate to replace Zhao Pu in the minds of everyone.
But if a high-ranking official makes a mistake, he should be dismissed immediately, and someone should be found to represent him, which will only happen in the script, or in people's imagination, let alone the head of the hundred officials.
The actual situation is that such high-ranking officials, who always stand at the top of the pyramid, are in charge of many big people, big events, big powers, know many secrets and secrets, and even when they are not known, they may still be doing some major national affairs.
A country dominates, dominates a country's major affairs, and holds the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if no one is around to teach for a few years, how can it be possible to see that everyone can replace him?
Even if the person who replaced him used to be a ruler and later retired, it is impossible for him to return to the throne casually, not to mention that the state affairs are changing with each passing day, and it is by no means something that can be dealt with in a short time.
What is it that is the ruler of the slaughter? What is the attachment? To put it bluntly, it is the civil and military officials of the whole world.
In order to stabilize the relationship between all parties, Zaizhi is often the fulcrum on the balance beam, once the fulcrum is withdrawn, where can the balance beam be balanced?
To put it bluntly, in order to facilitate the development of the work, the Zai Zhi will install his own henchmen in the court and win over the allies, once the Zai Zhi is withdrawn, these people will inevitably not be tolerated by the new Zaizhi, then the court will have a big blood change, after all, after the new Zai Zhi takes office, he will inevitably install his henchmen, but there are so many positions in the court, if you want to come up, other people's henchmen will inevitably go down.
Obviously, Zhao Guangyi and the ministers didn't want this to happen, so they didn't want to deal with Lu Mengzheng.
The Great Song Dynasty is very big to say, but high-ranking officials like Lu Mengzheng are not so easy to cultivate, so everyone did not speak, and since Lu Mengzheng spoke, the Zichen Hall fell into a strange silence again.
After a long time, Zhao Guangyi coughed: "That's it, I've been a little tired lately, let's talk about this matter tomorrow." ”
Wang En, the chief eunuch, had followed Zhao Guangyi for many years, and immediately understood what he meant, and stood up and said, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
Zhong Wenwu also guessed Zhao Guangyi's purpose, so they retreated and dispersed as usual, only Lu Mengzheng and Lu Mengxiu's faces were very ugly, and the black was terrifying.
Lu Mengxiu's face was ugly, because he could see that the emperor just wanted to make peace with the mud and maintain Lu Mengzheng.
Lü Mengzheng saw their deep disappointment in himself from the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, and almost all of them believed Lü Mengxiu's words about stealing his younger siblings.
"Alas. That's it, so far, what face do I have to stand above the court. On the way home, Lu Mengzheng did not take a sedan chair, but chose to walk, and after walking for a while, Lu Mengzheng sighed heavily in his heart.
At this time, the sky is already bright, the people are starting to get busy, Kaifeng City is full of people, people who get up early to go to the market bargain loudly with a smile, and the people who do business are bitter, until finally the buyer throws down the money and carries the things away, they only feel slightly comforted, although the transaction did not make much money, but after all, they still earned some.
What a simple people!
Lu Meng was watching the scenes on the street in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally sighed faintly and went home.
After returning home, Lu Mengzheng went directly into the study, wrote a letter of paper, and finally wrapped this document and sealed it.
When this document was handed to Zhao Guangyi's desk, Zhao Guangyi was so shocked that he almost stood up directly and knocked over the inkstone.
"Quick, pass on Prime Minister Zhao Pu to come to discuss the matter."
Soon, the prime minister Zhao Pu, who was nearly seventy years old, walked into Zhao Guangyi's study with the support of the eunuchs.
Prime Minister Zhao Pu looked very weak, his face was sallow and white, full of folds, and his hands were full of green tendons, which could almost be described as skin and bones.
During the time he walked into the study, he had already coughed five times, and although he tried his best to suppress it, Zhao Guangyi still heard it.
"Brother Huang, has your old problem recurred?" Zhao Guangyi asked with a concerned face.
Zhao Pu reluctantly bowed to Zhao Guangyi, took the tea handed over by Wang En and took a sip, then he felt better, and replied: "Let the emperor worry, I have been sick for many years, as long as the weather is cold, it's okay." ”
Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi are not related by blood, but everyone is the same Zhao family, the reason why the Taizu Emperor Chen Qiao's mutiny was successful, Zhao Pu was also a great contributor, and later the Great Song Dynasty Dingding Central Plains, Zhao Pu was saddle before and after the horse, many years in the prime minister's high position, for Taizu and even Zhao Guangyi shared a lot of things, so not only Zhao Guangyi, even Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is also commensurate with his brother, but Zhao Pu has never taken credit, he has always called the emperor the emperor, and never regarded himself as the emperor's brother.
Zhao Guangyi nodded: "I'm sorry to disturb the imperial brother, I really don't want to go, but now that something big has happened in the imperial court, I still want to hear the imperial brother's opinion." ”
Saying that, Zhao Guangyi told Zhao Pu about the affairs of this morning, and after Zhao Pu heard it, his brows furrowed slightly, and a ray of light flashed in his chaotic eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him.
After Zhao Guangyi finished speaking, he asked: "Brother Huang, Lu Meng is the prime minister I agreed with you, if you are unable to govern in the future, he will share the burden for you, but now Lu Meng is going to make a decision, how should this be good?" ”
Zhao Pu thought for a while and replied: "This matter is open, the problem is still on Lu Congjian, since the emperor has spoken, the minister will try to make him change his tone." ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "It's so good, then there will be Brother Laohuang." ”
Zhao Pu smiled, the old face immediately wrinkled like the bark of a tree, and after Zhao Guangyi cared about him a few more words, Zhao Pu left with the support of the eunuch.
Back in the house, Zhao Pu coughed heavily, and an old man immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiangye, is there something wrong?" ”
The smile on Zhao Pu's face flashed, and he said, "Go, let Xiaozhuzi bring Zhao Gu." ”
