. As soon as the early dynasty dispersed, Zhao Guangyi brushed his sleeves away, and didn't even say a word to Yang Hao, until he returned to Nanya and sat down in the Qingxin Building, and then he scolded angrily: "This idiot is making his own opinions, and he doesn't discuss it with me." Going to Honglu Temple? Do you want to go to a place like Honglu Temple to eat and wait for death? It's a shame that this king cultivates like this, it's really a failure! ”

Song Qi was surprised and said: "Didn't the prince go to the court today to ask for merit from the Yang Academy, who made the prince angry?" ”

"It's not that Yang Hao!" Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Even if the forbidden army can't enter, you can arrange an important position, he can be good, I don't know who was bewitched, and he actually took the initiative to ask to go to Honglu Temple to be an official." entered the Honglu Temple, sharpened the edges and corners in the morning and evening, and turned him into a slippery and inactive official, alas! This person is a waste, and the king's efforts have been wasted. ”

Song Qi was stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself: "This person is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, which is really difficult to understand, so ...... Is it necessary for the prince to hold a celebration banquet for him tonight? ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The banquet is still going to be held, even if he is useless, this work has to be done enough, no matter what, he is promoted, no matter what, he is my Nanya's person, if there is no one to congratulate him, my Nanya's face is not good-looking." Let's talk ...... again."

He gritted his teeth and scolded: "When this fool understands what kind of yamen Honglu Temple is, he will turn around and beg me to transfer him away, and when the time comes, this person will still be useful." ”

Song Qi saw that Zhao Guangyi was sullen, and hurriedly picked some happy things to say, and smiled at him: "Lord Wang, Tang Wei has supervised the construction of a number of warships in Xiaoxixi, and the combat strength of our naval army is not as good as that of Tang Guo, so I have to work the battleships, Tang Wei hired a large number of skilled craftsmen, and the warships built have their own wonderful uses, Xia Guan has seen it today, there is a kind of small boat specially used to burn the opponent's giant ship, the bow is equipped with iron spikes, and it is difficult to scratch the hook and strut when it is nailed into the opponent's hull, and then remove the wedge wood on the hull, The second half of the ship can be turned into an independent small boat, so that the soldiers who operate the ship and set fire can escape back the same way, which is really ingenious, and once these large and small warships with different uses are used, they will certainly be of great benefit to our navy. ”

Zhao Guangyi turned his anger into joy when he heard this: "Hmph! Zhao Pu doesn't want me to get involved in the forbidden army, hehe, I can still make military merits if I don't touch the army. Tang Wei is indeed capable, let's invite him to a banquet tonight, these rich gentry and giants can serve the king, the picture is to have a closeness and a backer, but don't snub him. ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

That night, a banquet was held in the "Qianjin Yixiao Building", and all the officials above the rank of Gongcao in Nanya participated, and many gentry and celebrities were invited, giving Yang Hao enough face. This momentum still has to be created, because today's court meeting is not the end of this dispute between the kings and prime ministers, but the beginning of a full-scale outbreak of contradictions^※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "The old man tolerated him for ten years, and now he ...... It's time to get started! Zhao Pu looked around at the group of henchmen on the left and right, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" A blue-robed scholar agreed: "The eldest son of the emperor has grown up, the eldest son of the emperor is the king, and the eldest son of the emperor is sent to hunt on behalf of the sky. ”

He smiled slightly, and said: "Brother to brother, after all, it is a last resort, now that the eldest son of the emperor has become an adult, and has revealed his talent, the official's actions have clearly told us that he is going to establish a prince, and this crown prince ...... Not the emperor's brother, but the prince! ”

All the staff members were gearing up, their faces were excited, only a master who was sitting under Zhao Pu stroked his beard and was silent, Zhao Pu glanced at him slightly, and asked, "What does Guo Weng think?" ”

This Haoshou master's surname is Guo Mingyong, and Murong Qiudrunk is the most relied on right and left hand of Zhao Pu among the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Yong twisted his beard, frowned and thought hard for a long time, Fang Shen said: "Xianggong, everyone, the official family may have the intention of cultivating the King of Wei, but they may not have the heart to bring down the King of Jin, the King of Jin has worked hard to run Kaifeng for many years, his latent power is really not small, it may not be so easy to bring down this big tree, especially ...... Does the official family have this heart? If the official family doesn't want to touch him, then let's strike with all our might, expose our strength in vain, and arouse the official's vigilance, then it will be a waste of rice to steal chickens. ”

Zhao Pu was originally a calm-minded person, but when he said this, his impulsive mood calmed down a little, and after pondering for a moment, Zhao Pu asked solemnly: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Guo Yongdao: "The official family intends to neutralize the prince in the heir, this should be undoubted, the son inherits the father's business, the family and the country are passed on, this is human nature, and the emperor's family is not exempt from vulgarity." However, there is no doubt about the brotherly affection of the official family for King Jin. The official family is in full bloom, and he is not in a hurry to clear all obstacles for the crown prince, and he may not have cultivated it slowly, so that King Wei's wings will gradually plump until it comes to fruition. If that were the case, he wouldn't have moved King Jin. We must not ignore this. ”

Lu Fengxiao, another staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, couldn't help but ask: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, let's continue to tolerate the dictatorship and always override my Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Guo Yong smiled slightly: "Fengxiao doesn't have to worry, the old man doesn't mean that." The old man thought that taking advantage of the official family's intention to support the prince, this Nanya was going to sharpen its sharpness. However, we have to think clearly, whether this stick will succeed or fail, and what will be the success? How to deal with defeat? How much force does this stick have to go down? If even the official family is in pain, then we will inevitably lose, and the most important thing is to find out the thoughts of the official family. ”

Zhao Pudao: "The prime minister has followed the official family for many years, and he knows the mind and temper of the official family best. Between brothers and sons, if you want to choose an heir, the official family will choose the prince, the emperor's eldest son Dezhao has outstanding character, and his ability is also good, I think the official family belongs to him, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the sister-in-law of the official family's wife Empress He, and the inheritance is well deserved. ”

"Good!" Guo Yong said: "Then let's smash it, next, let's have to see, how much power is on the Jin King's side, how much power we can use here, either don't do it, we will completely knock him down, tell him to pack up and leave Nanya, and from then on be a famous and powerless idle king, this can never be troubled, these years the King of Jin has worked hard, many of the strength has not been moved to the table, we can't be careless, if you are not very sure, you must leave a back hand, so as not to be subject to it." ”

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "Over the years, the King of Jin has indeed used the dual identity of Kaifeng Mansion Yin and the emperor's younger brother to attract some people, but ...... His identity as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion limits the connections he can make friends with, and what if those ninth-rate characters are attracted no matter how much they are wooed?

Did you say anything in court? Xue Juzheng and Lu Yuqing, who are in charge of the matter, only the old man is looking forward, and he does not dare to make an obstacle from it. As for the privy councillors...... Hehe, that's the old man's sons and daughters. There is another one, that is, the third envoy, Chu Zhaofu, the official has done it, and the old man has already promoted Luo Gongming to return to Beijing......"

Jiang Chenyi, one of the staff members of the Prime Minister's Mansion, grinned like a toothache: "Xianggong, Luo Gongming's old fox is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, Xianggong guarantees that he will return to Beijing, and he may not be grateful for Xianggong's kindness, and he will stand on Xianggong's side." ”

Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and said: "Luo Gongming is just protecting himself, but he is not a person who does not know the times, this minister will protect him to return to Beijing, at least he will not stand up against this minister, as long as we overwhelm the king of Jin, at that time, even if Luo Gongming is reluctant, he has to stretch out a foot and help us step on the king of Jin." ”

He looked around at a group of staff, and said with a smile: "The Zhongshu is in the hands of the Prime Minister, the Privy Council is in the hands of the sons and daughters of the Prime Minister, the Zhongshu and the Second Privy Council control the civil and military powers of my Great Song Dynasty, and then there are the three envoys who hold the financial power and are noncommittal, even if the official family sees such a momentum, then it must make a choice between the stability of the court and the King of Jin." If you were an official, what would you choose? ”

"How to choose?" The staff pondered for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

Zhongshu and privy council represent the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are the foundation of the imperial court. Even if it is an emperor, even if it is the Taiping Emperor, who has been in the world for a long time after a hundred years of inheritance, he does not dare to oppose the Manchu Dynasty in order to protect a brother. What's more, this emperor originally intended to weaken his brother's authority and ensure his son's smooth accession to the throne. In this case, the Manchu Dynasty was just asking the emperor to let his brother give up his official position and become his prince of peace, so as to ensure that the prince could be the crown prince steadily.

Guo Yongdao: "In that case, let's ...... now." You have to find the stick that can knock down King Jin first. ”

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "The King of Jin is cautious in his work, and rarely leaves people behind, although we know about his friendship with courtiers, it is difficult to catch his true evidence, and it is impossible to ask those courtiers who are bribed or refuse to be bribed by him to come forward to testify...... Get it back! ”

Watching the staff say goodbye and leave one by one, Zhao Puzhi stood up proudly, as soon as Zhao Guangyi fell, he was the first person under the Son of Heaven, and no one could challenge his authority again. Moreover, once the Son of Heaven and a courtier will have no effect on him, and in the next Son of Heaven, he will still be the first person under the Son of Heaven.

He has waited for so many years, just waiting for the prince to grow up, waiting for the official family to give birth to the heart of the prince, as long as the official family vaguely has such a mind, it is enough, and he will do other things for the official family. It's like...... At Chenqiaoyi that year, I personally put on the yellow robe for him......
