Chapter 68 Lobbying I
After Ji Xiancheng heard this, he frowned, looked Gao Huaiyuan up and down, and couldn't help asking: "It turns out that you have been busy all this time, and you are busy with Jingdong's affairs!" I want to ask, is there anything the lord is hiding from Ji? Why are you paying so much attention to the situation in the Jingdong area during this time? ā
Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly shook his head again and again: "No, no! I'm just very concerned about the situation in Jingdong, you must know that my father is also an official in Huaidong now, and he will deal with Li Quan's subordinates from time to time, how can I not worry about him?
What's more, Jingdong is very important to my country, how can I not care at all? Sir, let's think about it, how this incident can make Shi Miyuan, an old guy, change his mind! I'm thinking about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, don't misunderstand me, sir! ā
Ji Xiancheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan suspiciously, and did not say whether he believed what Gao Huaiyuan said, but his thoughts still turned to what Gao Huaiyuan said, and he lowered his head and began to ponder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's not easy to do! Shi Lao Thief doesn't want to cause any trouble now, so he is so tolerant of Li Quan's actions, he now wants to focus on the matter of succession, and recently I heard that the body of the saint is not as good as day by day, and it is a bit uncertain whether it can last until next year.
You have also been in contact with Empress Yang's nephews Yang Gu and Yang Shi during this time, and you must know some inside stories, this matter is probably not different from what we expected, and now it is an imminent time, so it is really not easy to make Shi Miyuan change his mind and make the court continue to flow in the muddy water in the north! After thinking for a while, Ji Xiancheng shook his head and said, the expression on his face was quite helpless.
Gao Huaiyuan immediately stood up and said angrily: "Is it just like watching Peng Yibin fight alone?" You must know that Jingdong East Road is a very important thing for our Song people to recover the Central Plains, how can this matter be abandoned because of this, is it possible that all the officials have to be sinners for the ages? ā
Ji Xiancheng raised his eyes and looked at Gao Huaiyuan, nodded slightly with an appreciative smile, stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, and coughed lightly: "I understand your intentions very well, and I also know that you have no sense of respect for the current imperial court, and the reason why you are so worried is because of us Han people!"
In fact, there is not necessarily no way to do this, at least there is someone by your side who can help you! ā
Gao Huaiyuan then strode behind Ji Xiancheng and asked him, "Who?" Who can help me? ā
Ji Xiancheng turned his head, looked at Gao Huaiyuan and said, "Zheng Qingzhi!" He can help you! ā
Gao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Zheng Qingzhi?" His official position is not high now, and now he mainly stays in the Yiwang Mansion to teach Guicheng, what can he help me? ā
Ji Xiancheng shook his head and smiled: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" You underestimate Zheng Qingzhi too much, you must know that since Zhendexiu left in Lin'an City, there are few Confucian people, and Zheng Qingzhi is just one of them, you can't underestimate the energy of people like him, even if there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court, you can't underestimate people like him!
Many officials are from a scholarly background, although there is a literati who are contemptuous, but the literati like to cling to famous Confucianism, like Zheng Qingzhi, many literati and writers are very willing to give him face, once he speaks, it will have a great impact on the government.
And according to your and my observations during this time, Zheng Qingzhi is not a completely inflammatory, he still has some ideas! That's how you feel about it, too!
In my opinion, you might as well tell Zheng Qingzhi your thoughts this time, one is to explore Zheng Qingzhi's personality, and the other is to try Zheng Qingzhi's ability, if he can't help you in this matter, then he is just a short-sighted literati, but if he can help you with this, this person may be a big help for you in the future, you might as well get closer to him! ā
After Gao Huaiyuan heard Ji Xiancheng's words, he immediately had a feeling of being sudden, so he immediately turned his worries into joy, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji! You are truly the best of men! Ha ha! I understand! I'll go to the palace to find Zheng Qingzhi! ā
After saying that, Gao Huaiyuan immediately turned around and was about to leave, but Ji Xiancheng immediately stopped Gao Huaiyuan again: "Wait!" Hear me out! ā
"What else does Mr. Ji have for advice?" Gao Huaiyuan stopped on the road.
Ji Xiancheng shook his head and smiled: "You are still a little too impatient, in fact, this time, you can take advantage of more than Zheng Qing, for so long, you have also made a lot of friends in the capital, many of them are still quite influential in the court, these relationships are all you can use, including even the people around Shi Miyuan, even including Xue Ji, you might as well try."
What I want to tell you is that there are two more people, you might as well try it, that is the two Yang brothers, they are now the kings of the dynasty, each of them is high-powered, even Shi Miyuan will let them have three points, and their opinions are also quite weighty in the current queen, and I know that these two people are not very evil, and many times they still know how to worry about state affairs!
You might as well go to the Yang brothers and tell them your thoughts tactfully, maybe you can get miraculous results! Also, it looks like I'm going to take a risk this time! Xu Xiji is my classmate and friend back then, this person is also a person with great ambitions, although he has now taken over the mess of Huaidong's system, but he has no rights at all, at least in Huaidong he has the right to transfer troops, and he is not without soldiers and horses, at least there is a Zhao Bangyong available!
This time, I will take a risk and write a letter to Xu Xiji to see if my old face can be used, if Xu Xiji can remember the affection between him and me, he should help Peng Yibin!
You go about your business now! I'll do the writing to Xu Xiji, and I'll arrange for someone to send it to Xu Xiji right away, and see if I can help you a little! ā
Gao Huaiyuan was even more overjoyed after hearing this, originally in his opinion there was no way to do anything, but when he came to Ji Xiancheng, he actually came up with so many ways for him, it seems that literati should not be despised It is really true, or just say, why did the literati in the Song Dynasty keep suppressing the generals, so that the generals could not raise their heads! There are many literati in their hearts!
Gao Huaiyuan immediately bowed to Ji Xiancheng to the ground, and said with a deep salute: "Thank you, sir!" Huaiyuan can be assisted by Mr. in this life, it is really Huaiyuan's luck! It's all with you, Mr. Lao! ā
When Gao Huaiyuan sat outside Guicheng's study with a sad smile and sighed, Zheng Qingzhi walked out of the study, and saw at a glance that Gao Huaiyuan's demeanor was not right, so he paced to Gao Huaiyuan's side with a book in his back, put the book on the stone case, lifted his robe, and sat opposite Gao Huaiyuan.
"What's wrong with the high control system today? Why do you look so worried? Could it be that something difficult to do was encountered? Zheng Qingzhi asked Gao Huaiyuan casually.
Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Zheng Qingzhi, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Actually, it's nothing, don't say it!" It's just me, me! To put it bluntly, it's unfounded! ā
His words immediately aroused Zheng Qingzhi's interest, so he raised his eyebrows and asked Gao Huaiyuan, "Oh? This made Zheng a little curious, what could it be that could still make you, a high-level ruler who is now in Lin'an City, worried? How about telling Zheng too? ā
Gao Huaiyuan looked very embarrassed, looked at Zheng Qingzhi, and said with a wry smile: "What can I do!" In fact, if you say it, I'm afraid that Lord Zheng will laugh at me, I'm a small commander the size of a sesame mung bean, but I'm worried about the country, I'm afraid that saying it will make you laugh off your big teeth! Don't say it, don't say it! ā
Zheng Qingzhi's appetite was hung by Gao Huaiyuan, so he leaned over and asked Gao Huaiyuan: "Hugh wants to talk like this in front of me, we are all people who are ministers of the same court, and we are worried about state affairs, so why laugh at it?" What bothers you so much, just tell me and let me hear about it! ā
Gao Huaiyuan saw that the heat was almost over, so he said: "Actually, this matter shouldn't have been considered by me!" Speaking of which, it is because of my father, during this time, Xia Guan paid close attention to the situation in the Jingdong area, this time Li Quan committed a crime and caused the Chuzhou Mutiny, a few days ago, Lord Zheng, you also mentioned this matter many times, but it is a pity that the imperial court finally adopted the strategy of calming things down, which made me and other martial artists feel very aggrieved!
And I heard yesterday that the imperial court had promised to distribute the grain and straw that had been allocated to the Northern Army to Li Quan, Peng Yibin, Fu Daquan, ** and other armies, but since the Chuzhou Mutiny, the imperial court was forced by Li Quan's pressure to retract this promise, still maintain the previous state, and allocate money, grain and other materials to Li Quan for deployment!
In this way, isn't it equivalent to raising tigers? In the past two days, the more I think about it, the more I feel like a wretch! As a military general, for Li Quan's actions, Xia Guan is quite unpleasant! And for Peng Yibin, Fu Daquan and others who dared to insist on resisting Jin and resisting the Mongol army's southward entry into the Jingdong area, Xia Guan was quite admired!
And the imperial court is now so self-defeating, no matter what the officials think, they feel that this is wrong, you must know that Peng Yibin's 100,000 army, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Fu Daquan's command, only the grain within their jurisdiction is far from enough to support their anti-Jin and anti-Mongolian army. And if Peng, Fu and the others continue like this for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue, and it will be a matter of time before the army is defeated!
This kind of thing shouldn't be pondered by people like me, but I, Lord Zheng, also know that it's just a tendon, and if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, so I'm very entangled in my heart!
The court should not dare to talk about it without permission, but in this way, it will cool the hearts of those soldiers in Peng and Fu's army! I was born in the army, and I know what the soldiers think, which is why I am so unhappy! It made Lord Zheng laugh! ā
