Chapter 607: Prime Minister (5)
Zhao Zhen was a little displeased, including Pang Ji, who saw all the benefits brought by the right, but did not know the responsibility that the right had to bear.
"Your Majesty, Duke Shen was once famous all over the world for his skills." Lan Yuanzhen whispered.
Skill is not necessarily a derogatory term, half derogatory and half praised, Lu Yijian cherishes the right, is cold by the gentleman's party, and finally causes a precedent for party contention, but Lu Yijian's merits are flexible, and few people can match it. However, Zhao Zhen looked at Lan Yuanzhen with suspicious eyes.
Lan Yuanzhen's heart was empty, but his eyes were very calm, he couldn't talk about Wenchen, but when it came to disguise, Wenchen was not as good as him, and said calmly: "Zheng Lang has strongly recommended this person many times. ”
At the mention of Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen couldn't make a sound, and continued to stare at the notes written by Pang Ji.
Zheng Lang's plan to magically get Ning Lingge from Western Xia to Khitan will bring all kinds of benefits to the Song Dynasty. This potential has been achieved, but the benefits have not yet come, if the use of this potential, the benefits will be implemented, but also need a variety of arrangements and arrangements to continue to cooperate with it.
For example, Pang Ji's advice at this time.
When the Khitan gets Ning Lingge, they will inevitably start a war with Western Xia again.
If they want to lose both, instead of the Khitan taking the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty should put aside the current war and controversy, and send an envoy to Feng Langzuo as the lord of the country and give the name of righteousness. Let the Western Xia have the strength to compete with the Khitan, so that they can fight on an equal footing. Otherwise, once the Khitans were ready to start a war against the Western Xia, they would send envoys to oppress the Song Dynasty, and they would not be able to forgive the lord of Zuo, or even coerce the Song Dynasty to help the troops.
A very sensible admonition.
This is the genius of Pang Ji, it turns out that Wang Song has become a pile of garbage. Kick it away. Now seeing his importance, extending an olive branch again can not only attract an important talent. In the conversation just now, except for some secret lists, the special agent battalion asked Pang Ji to find out almost all the truth. Make him in the first place. can accurately guess Zheng Lang's next plan, so the writing was sent to the inner palace overnight.
As for going through the Hanlin Temple, to hell with it.
What are rules?
I don't understand!
Zhao Zhen twisted his eyebrows and pondered, and suddenly said: "Go and pass on Pang Ji to see you." ”
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark."
"Biography."
Pang's family is poor, and although he is the prime minister, he has no other income, so his residence is somewhat remote. It was a long time before Pang Ji was brought to the palace.
After giving the salute, Zhao Zhen asked: "Recently, there have been endless disputes in the court, and there are many words and ministers who are wrong in their arguments, and Pang Qing is okay?" ”
Pang Ji was stunned, why didn't he talk about the prince of Western Xia, but asked the prime minister? It was quite unexpected. But he still replied: "Your Majesty, it is not that the ruler is wrong, and the injustice in the East Mansion last year is caused by the incompatibility of the three phases." This year, Xia Zhu came to Xifu, and Yanchen still did not tolerate Xia Zhu. Therefore, Yun Jae is wrong. ”
Half of the words are right, the reason why Yanchen did not tolerate Xia Zhu was because he was in the palace assassination case, and once again angered He Tan and other gossip officials, but Zhao Zhen is not to blame, Xia Zhu is kind to Pang Ji, and as long as he does not go too far, it is a virtue.
"Then what do you mean, the officials of the two governments should not change?"
This is impossible, first of all, Zheng Lang can't be left in Beizhou, Wang Ze has long been extinguished, Zheng Lang has been shelved for several months, it is not right, but Pang Ji faintly heard it, and the emperor may be about to summon Zheng Lang back. After thinking about it again, he replied: "Your Majesty, if you want the country to be quiet, the prime minister is still Chen Xianggong, and Zheng Lang will assist him again, and if Your Majesty wants to reform and renew, you must have Zheng Lang as the prime minister......"
Gritted his teeth and said: "Then Chen Xianggong will be the Privy Council envoy with the authority of Ping Zhangshi." ”
It hurts to say that this time, your own Privy Council will become a pipe dream, and you will not think about it.
"Why?"
"If Chen Xianggong continues to be the prime minister, Zheng Lang will not be supported, and can only make some small additions, and dare not make a big move, Chen Xianggong has been the prime minister for many years, with deep qualifications, plus Zheng Lang's auxiliary supplement, the country will inevitably be very quiet. If you want to reform and plan for a new life, if Chen Xianggong stays in Dongfu, there will be a great constraint on Zheng Lang, and it will inevitably be resentful over time, and Zheng Lang's various policies will inevitably produce vicious results, so the minister thinks that Chen Xianggong must be transferred to Xifu as the prime minister and move out of the power space. ”…,
The answer is very pertinent.
Zhao Zhen's tone softened, and he asked again: "How is Xia Qing?" ”
"Xia Xianggong has kindness to his ministers, but his personal kindness cannot be brought to state affairs, Xia Xianggong also has the ability to govern officials, but the ministers and Qingliu are incompatible, even if they have the ability to govern, the post of prime minister of Xifu cannot be held."
The response was quite decent.
But Pang Ji was in a cold sweat behind him.
What he played was only for Brother Ning Ling, and it had nothing to do with the current personnel changes, the emperor didn't say a word about the former, only said the latter, which made him smell uneasy.
Zhao Zhen is beating.
Since Zheng Lang recommended Pang, Zhao Zhen has been secretly observing Pang, compared with Zheng Fan and Han's three major border ministers, Pang's nationality in Shaanxi is the least outstanding one. But after entering the court, he was not bored, and he handled affairs decently, so Zhao Zhen's impression of him was not too bad.
But as long as it is a person, it is always selfish, Pang Ji is different from Ding Du, Xia Zhu, Song Zhen, Zheng Lang, Jia Changchao and others, he has taught Zhao Zhen knowledge, and his personal relationship is deep, and Pang Ji and Zhao Zhen have no personal relationship. Comparatively speaking, the merit is a little smaller. So Zhao Zhen is just observing, and he has no intention of reusing it.
Today, Pang Ji bypassed Xia Zhu's march, which made Zhao Zhen very dissatisfied. Deliberately beat, don't be in a hurry to roar, even if I use you in the future, it's not now, now I can stay honestly in the position of the privy deputy and do things in a down-to-earth manner!
Pang Ji understands Zhao Zhen's meaning, and implements it honestly, and the future will be high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to swim. If you can't get around, this time you will leave a very bad impression on Zhao Zhen, and the future will be at the top when you reach the privy deputy envoy.
It seemed that the response could still satisfy Zhao Zhen, and his tone softened, and said: "Pang Qing, I and Zheng Qing talked twice about the issue of national domination, and Zheng Qing replied twice, on the choice of prime minister, Qing should be the first, followed by Wenqing." ”
"I dare not be ashamed," Pang Ji said even more uneasily, but he couldn't figure out why Zheng Lang recommended himself twice?
Seeing that Pang was puzzled, Zhao Zhen said again: "Juxian does not avoid family hatred. It is the wind of the benevolent of the ancients. ”
"Whoa."
"Retreat."
Pang Ji walked out, the moon was half above the willows, and it was April. In previous years, it was close to May, and the wheat in the wheat fields outside Kaifeng City had begun to be harvested, and the weather was hot. Although it is slightly cool at night. But all the pedestrians on the street only wore a single coat, but a cool night breeze blew, and Pang Ji couldn't help but shiver, and silently thought in his heart, the power of the sky is unpredictable.
is still a thief, if it is not for the sake of power, if he makes a small move, he will not have the idea of fear.
With Zhao Zhen and Pang Ji answering. Xia Zhu entered the countdown.
The outside world didn't know that He Tan and Zhu Yushi continued to reverse the great cause of Xia, and they could no longer let the emperor divert the topic, so He Tan simply wrote a piece of more than 1,000 words about Xia La.
There is no other way to govern the country and the country, verify the name and the truth, and do not do the evil. Therefore, since ancient times, sages have ruled the world. Take the gentleman and the villain as a warning. You can't be partial because of likes and dislikes (ridiculing Zhao Zhen's words), and you can't advance with evil and righteousness (dissatisfied with Zheng Lang, especially Zheng Lang's book of benevolence and righteousness, and dissatisfied with Zheng Lang speaking justice for Xia Zhu back then), otherwise the country's rise and fall will not be expected. The people's denial is not guaranteed. With the saint of Yao, there are also ministers who destroy the faith and abolish loyalty, with the wisdom of Shun, there are also ministers who slander and say that they are killed, but although they lose their responsibilities at the beginning, they are finally enlightened and dethroned, and these two saints are so saintly.
Xia Zhu is evil, extravagant, his learning is not erudite, his behavior is hypocritical, he is feminine, he has no minister's upright hope, and he doesn't care about his temperament, and he can't help but be sincere. Wanton deception can be concealed; Allowing oneself to flatter oneself is said to be correctable. There is no shame in violating discipline, and there is no doubt that impostors are abandoned. Accumulation of goods and breeding, in order to be greedy, not worthy of shame; than Zhou Quanxing, in order to forge ahead, can not be said to be in the right way. The husband is generous and extremely generous, which can be described as surplus; With this pet position, it can be said that it is too much. And it is as insatiable as it gets, it does not stop, it has covetousness, it is strange and evil, and people are unscrupulous, and so on. …,
Zhao Zhen was speechless when he saw this.
actually said Xia Zhu so badly, it was even worse than Li Linfu. I had to endure my scalp and look down.
The rebellion of the guards broke into the palace, which can be described as chilling. Anyone who fails to take precautions in his duties should be punished with mass murder (according to the law, the relevant officials should be executed). However, Xia Zhu and Yang Huaimin communicated, bending to hide, private favors, ignoring the safety of the lord, ignoring the criticism of the people, and not discussing their crimes, resulting in uneven lawsuits, and the thieves could not be investigated. It is a great disloyalty to be disloyal to live in the heart of the humerus......
Not only He Tan alone, but other ministers echoed the impeachment.
I can't figure it out, I can stab it in the inner palace, and I can actually make it with mud!
However, the emperor also acquiesced in Xia Zhu's harmony, and these ministers were about to go crazy.
Coincidentally, it happened that Zhao Zhen summoned the Hanlin bachelor to sit in the hall and ask about government affairs, and it happened that there was no cloud in the sky over the capital, but there were several thunderbolts, and the idiom was a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Zhao Zhen and a few Hanlin scholars looked at the thief and looked at each other.
It happened that Zhang Fangping arrived from outside, Zhao Zhen was still a little confused by the explosion, he really made God toss and scared, and said to Zhang Fangping: "Xia Zhu is treacherous, so that the sky has changed like this, that is, it is made out of grass." ”
Zhang Fangping asked for rebuttal.
It always takes some reason to abolish the phase, and it can't be abolished in a vague way.
Zhao Zhen was angry and said, "Spend your life with equal work." ”
Even if he is abandoned, he can't put a treacherous hat on Xia Zhu, then he will not be able to turn over for eternity.
Strike the privy envoy and sentence the heavens.
However, Xia Zhu continued to use the invincible method of shameless people and barkless trees, and begged for the title of the palace scholar to stay in Beijing.
He Tan and the others were so angry that they wanted to beat Xia Zhu violently, but they were very angry, and they said that Xia Lai didn't care about shame. The situation is treacherous and treacherous, and it has been heard of the world for a long time. His Majesty made a holy decision, dismissed the cardinals, and the Chinese and foreign courtiers did not celebrate each other. He could not let him stay in the imperial court, but still commanded him to urge him to take up his post.
But just like he did with Fan Zhongyan back then, he sent guards and eunuchs to escort Xia Zhu on the road.
Zhao Zhen played on the spot.
It seems that this time it is Yanchen's victory, but in fact, it is that Xia Zhu is too deep, which makes Zhao Zhen unhappy, so he obeys Yanchen's impeachment. At this time, Zhao Zhen is no longer the Zhao Zhen of the past, how can he casually remove several prime ministers because of a few ministers?
News has finally arrived at the border.
The Khitan began to increase troops to the northwest one after another, and rumors spread in Western Xia.
But the capital of the Song Dynasty was finally quiet.
Xia Zhu finally got out of the court, and He Tan and the others accepted it when they saw it, and it was quiet.
Zhao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze to the northwest direction. He was also thinking, Zheng Lang explained the reason, how how, so he didn't hide that he had to attack Yuan Hao, but Zhao Zhen was not stupid, and he would meditate carefully, how wise it would be to be able to do more than half a year before the incident, even if it was the direction of the changes in Western Xia.
Zheng Lang was thinking wildly, why the palace case happened just before the return of the airboat, Zhao Zhen did not have any bad thoughts about him, it was just a coincidence. Lu Yijian's scheming and selfishness dare to use it, why doesn't Zheng Lang dare to use it?
I'm not afraid that the minister has the ability, but I'm afraid that he doesn't have the ability.
Hearing all kinds of good news from the border, Zhao Zhen was in a more relaxed mood and said to Zhang Fangping: "Write an edict for me, and Zhao Zheng Lang will return to Beijing." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )RQ
