Chapter 37 Ambition Alone
Gao Huaiyuan pretended to be stupid and said: "Mr. said it was funny, how can Huaiyuan have the ability of an unpredictable prophet as you said!" However, since Huaiyuan arrived at the palace, he followed Mr. to meet a lot of important ministers in the court, although Huaiyuan didn't expect Mr. to take me to someone's house today, but he didn't dare to be negligent, so he felt that it was better to prepare a thin gift first, so as not to lose Mr.'s face! It seems that Huaiyuan has done the right thing again this time! Otherwise, wouldn't it be smiling and generous to go to see Xiangye so empty-handed? ”
Zheng Qingzhi has been accustomed to Gao Huaiyuan's generous style during this time, and he is also very satisfied with his answer, feeling that Gao Huaiyuan is indeed a guy who knows the current affairs very well and knows what to do.
In fact, Gao Huaiyuan was just guessing in the morning, and he was not sure who Zheng Qingzhi was going to take him to meet this time, but once Zheng Qingzhi told him that he was going to take him to see Shi Miyuan, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
So far, he has never seen Shi Miyuan, although he has studied Shi Miyuan's affairs, and is always paying attention to what this old traitor is doing, but he didn't expect to see Shi Miyuan so soon, so he still feels a little nervous in his heart.
This meeting with Shi Miyuan is a very critical meeting, whether he can gain a firm foothold in the capital in the future, it can be said that this meeting will play a vital role, as long as he is a little careless, if Shi Miyuan does not like it, then so many things he did in Lin'an City before are likely to be wasted.
Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan's mind moved, and he showed a nervous and excited look in front of Zheng Qingzhi, only this kind of demeanor is the mood he should show, otherwise, it will definitely arouse Zheng Qingzhi's suspicion.
Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's restless appearance, Zheng Qingzhi smiled slightly after seeing it: "Huaiyuan, you don't have to be too nervous, although Shi Xiang is high and powerful, but he is very kind to me and other subordinates, as long as you are respectful and respectful after seeing Shi Xiang for a while, you don't have to be so restrained!" ”
Although Gao Huaiyuan was a little nervous about today's incident, he was not really at a loss, and secretly laughed in his heart that this is not for you!
So he sat beside Zheng Qingzhi, rubbed his hands and said with a nervous face: "That's so, but in the end, I've never seen a big official like Shi Xiang, and it's impossible not to be nervous at all!" You must know that my father has mentioned it many times before, if one day I am lucky enough to see today's Xiangye, I must be respectful and respectful, I want me a small seven-grade martial arts, today I am actually fortunate to be able to see today's history, it is really a blessing for the three lives of the lower officials! This is thanks to Mr. Zheng! Huaiyuan is really grateful! ”
Zheng Qingzhi looked at the nervous and excited look on Gao Huaiyuan's face, looking at his helpless appearance, he really felt a little disdainful in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't feel a little dumbfounded, in fact, he didn't know what kind of character Shi Miyuan was, in his own opinion, he had always prided himself on being high, and he shouldn't have been inflammatory, but in the end, didn't he succumb to Shi Miyuan's obscenity?
Zheng Qingzhi is actually a very high-minded person, he was full of ideals when he was an official in his early years, and wanted to serve the country, but when he really stepped into the top of the political circles, he found that this place was already a tank of troubled water, Shi Miyuan had already controlled the government, and anyone who attacked him was either dismissed from office in the end, or ended up with a broken family, so he retreated, and chose to cling to Shi Miyuan, became Shi Miyuan's trusted adviser, and participated in this incident.
So when he saw Gao Huaiyuan's performance, he first despised Gao Huaiyuan, but then he put away this thought, compared to Gao Huaiyuan, how strong can he be? It's that people have selfish intentions, Gao Huaiyuan's expression shows that he is very eager to hug Shi Miyuan's thick legs, so why shouldn't he Zheng Qingzhi also have this idea?
The wheels of the carriage pressed against the stone pavement on the street of Lin'an City, making a sound of rattling, Zheng Qingzhi suddenly fell silent, and he asked himself, does he really want to go on like this forever? Seeing Shi Miyuan tossing the Great Song Dynasty like this? He was suddenly taken aback by this question of his own, because he immediately came to a conclusion, this conclusion is negative, he is not satisfied with living in the shadow of Shi Miyuan forever, he actually wants to make a difference from the bottom of his heart, he himself thinks that he and the "four woods" and "three murderers" under Shi Miyuan are not all the way, at least he did not participate in the impeachment of those loyal ministers in the court in the past, and did not deliberately harm those people.
At this point, he thinks that he has a clear conscience, so unlike the other accomplices under Shi Miyuan, his only hope is to make a difference in the political arena and one day return the Song Dynasty to a clear sky.
And now he has this opportunity, because Shi Miyuan pulled him into this dispute over the heir, Zheng Qingzhi himself knows very well why he is involved in this matter, the reason is very simple, now the whole court and the central government know that he is Shi Miyuan's person, and now the prince and Shi Miyuan are almost incompatible, the prince's teacher is Zhen Dexiu, who is Zhen Dexiu? That is the great Confucianism recognized by the government and the opposition today, the official name is even more incorruptible, and is deeply respected by the people, if the crown prince is on the throne this time, then his fate can be imagined, if it is good, he will be excluded from the court one day, and if it is bad, he may end up in a disgraced end.
So this time in this battle for succession, he has no way out, he must help Shi Miyuan and push Guicheng to the throne, only in this way can he reverse his fate, and sooner or later one day as an emperor to complete his ideals! Otherwise, he'll be crushed! So this time, he has no way back, no matter what, he has to continue to walk.
Gao Huaiyuan still looked restless, but at this time his heart had calmed down, and he remembered a sentence, "If you want to be a loyal minister, you have to be more traitorous than a traitor!" Otherwise, how can you fight the traitor? ”
Gao Huaiyuan made up his mind, if he wanted to do something for the Han nation, what would it be if he was wronged now? It's true that a man has gold under his knees, but if he can do something for the future, it seems that his knees are going to be a little wronged!
