Chapter 319: Who Rises and Falls (Part II) (Second Update)
- In order to give birth to a dragon son in the past few years, the official family has put almost all of their energy on the belly of a woman. It's not without results, in three years, eight princesses were born one after another, but none of them took the handle. Although no one dared to say it, the emperor would definitely not give birth to a son...... After all, there are still a few pregnant people in the palace, and no one knows if there will be hope until the moment of birth.
But everyone knows that hope is already very slim. But when the water comes out, it is also the moment when the fish and shrimp are empty, and the only way to strike is to strike first! Inside and outside the palace, in the government and the opposition, all people with ambitions, ideas, and greed have already made small calculations.
Establishing a good relationship with the next emperor in advance has become a topic that people gradually no longer avoid......
"Now it seems that the winning face is on Zhao Zongshi." Zhang Dian said bluntly: "If you don't have the belief to fight, then when I haven't said anything, I will try my best to protect your family in the future!" β
Strong, too strong, this chapter was still trying his best to restrain before, but now he has drawn his sword out of the sheath and his aura is fully open, and the pressure on Chen Ke actually has Han Qi's charm.
He won't allow you to be reluctant at all, yes or no, he has to give an answer!
If you continue to be vague, you will be underestimated by this guy, Chen Ke sneered in his heart, picked up the wine glass and said: "Borrow a word from you, it's man-made!" β
"!" Zhang nodded and clinked glasses with him.
Putting down the wine glass, Chen Kefang continued: "But I am not for my own selfish interests, our one is indeed more suitable than Zhao Zongshi." β
"How?" Zhang's eyebrows moved.
"I won't say it, Zhao Zongshi is pretending to be a saint in order to be the emperor." Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "I only know that we, we, are always thinking about restoring Yanyun's ......"
With this idea, both sides can go to the urethra in a pot. Zhang Dian nodded in satisfaction. Said: "I'm waiting for your good news! After a pause, he said, "But time waits for no one." Don't keep me waiting too long. β
"No problem." Chen Ke nodded and smiled: "But can you tell me, why don't you like Zhao Zongshi?" β
"The reason is simple, the champion should have been mine." Zhang Dian said lightly: "In order to build momentum for Zhao Zongshi, Liu Chang put Liu Hui ...... It's that Liu Ji, who is ahead of me. β
"I see." With the character of the chapter and the retribution. Naturally, he will no longer flatter Liu Chang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After being full of wine and food, Chen Ke sent Zhang Dan back to his outer house to rest...... Zhang Dian originally lived in the guild hall, but Chen Ke strongly invited him to live at home, and Zhang Dian did not refuse.
The carriage drove slowly down the street, and the thick walls of the carriage cut off the sound of the outside world. The two people in the car were a little drunk, so they quietly closed their eyes and rested.
But in fact, the minds of both of them are spinning rapidly.
For Zhangton. He came to Chen Ke, it was indeed his own opinion, first, he didn't like Zhao Zongshi. And has a great affection for Chen Ke - just like he said. He felt that Chen Ke and Wang Anshi were the ones who could change the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
But the most important thing. Or is he himself naturally adventurous. In fact, before leaving, he was ordered to contact Zhao Zongshi, but halfway through hearing the news that Zhao Zongji and Chen Ke had sent an envoy to Liao and returned victorious, he temporarily changed his mind and chose Zhao Zongji behind Wang Anshi's back.
This is an out-and-out political speculation, and its means of doing so is the legendary 'cold stove', or 'cold betting'.
This hand is not trivial, and winning or losing depends on the parties' accurate vision, courage, and the discerning eyes of heroes. If you bet on it, you will naturally make a lot of money and follow the master to make progress, because sending charcoal in the snow will always be more thankful than the icing on the cake. But the meaning of the cold stove is that everyone is not optimistic. Everyone is not optimistic, and naturally there are reasons for not being optimistic, and the possibility of failure is far greater than success.
If you fail, everything will be lost, and all your life's ambitions will be in vain......
But wealth is in danger, Zhang Dian believes in his own vision, and he calmly analyzes that he will not have anything in return for currying favor with Zhao Zongshi, who is red and purple. The most important thing is that Zhao Zongshi will definitely rely on those old ministers who helped him ascend to the pole in the future, and Wang Jiefu is still useless.
So he resolutely decided to attach himself to Zhao Zongji, who was second in line, had no foundation, and seemed to have little hope. He made this decision with a keen intuitionβan extraordinary being beyond the ordinary, able to sense very clearly the presence of another person who was similar to him. It's like a wolf who can easily know the danger factor of the beast on the other side.
Although he didn't know Zhao Zongji, he knew Chen Ke and knew that such a person would never toss blindly with Zhao Zongji when he had no chance of winning. He believed that the reason why Chen Ke did not give up Zhao Zongji must have his reason!
Chen Ke was carefully calculating how much help this new student would have...... Although he knew that this must be a large force, otherwise it would not have swept the world ten years later and made the whole of China unrecognizable. But what Zhao Zongji urgently needs is ready-made help! It's the power that can help him ascend to the throne!
This is not to underestimate the Xinxue people, after all, the official family does not like Wang Anshi very much, if Zhao Zongji disobeys Zhao Zhen's will and gets too close to Wang Anshi, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing. If the Xinxue people can only exert their strength in the future, then there is no need to involve them too much, after all, if Zhao Zongji becomes the emperor one day, they can only take the initiative to take refuge if they want to do things, and they have nothing to do with it before, but it is a good thing.
But Zhao Zongji is really short of people...... How can you easily let go of this support?
In this way, each of them walked all the way, and the carriage traveled to an alley behind Nanmen Street. As soon as the unpretentious gate opened, the carriage went straight in.
When the car stopped in the courtyard, Zhang Dian came down, and saw twenty-four Japanese women lined up in four rows, bowed down to them and saluted them together: "You are back, you have worked hard......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After settling Zhang Dun and letting him enjoy himself, Chen Ke rushed to Zhao Zongji. Zhang Dian couldn't wait long, and he had to give him an answer as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the palace, he saw Zhao Zongji sulking there with a gloomy face.
"What's the situation?" Chen Ke took a sip of fragrant tea, yes, it was clear tea.
"Problem solved." Zhao Zongji said with a dark face: "Fu Xianggong, he agreed to the request of the Liao people without hesitation. Tell me that the Liao people don't want to be relatives, so forget it, just don't take advantage of them. β
I said, how can this be considered a advantage? Since it has been discussed from generation to generation, the official family is Yelu Hongji's uncle. Zhao Zongji said indignantly: "Why don't he call if he doesn't want to!" β
"What did the rich minister say?"
"He was silent for a long time by what I said, and finally said to me that from the position of the prime minister, we must consider the situation of the whole country, and now the imperial court is about to disarm, and there can be no chaos on the border." Zhao Zongji paused and said: "I also said that this is also the meaning of the official family, and I am entangled endlessly for a title, because of the small loss, the gain outweighs the loss!" β
In this way, Fu Xianggong, who took into account the overall situation, basically agreed to all the requirements of the Liao State. Except for the lack of coins, I promised him everything! Zhao Zongji said angrily: "I really want to know, where is the Fuyan country that fought for the country at the expense of his life!" If he saw that his behavior today was no different from that of Lu Yijian and his ilk, would he feel ashamed? β
"Dissipate your anger...... Chen Ke comforted softly: "Perhaps, Fu Xianggong does have a last resort." β
"What's the problem?" Zhao Zongji snorted.
Chen Ke told Zhao Zongji what he had seen and heard in the past two days, and Zhao Zongji said a little calmly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, it's really a good habit." β
"If you feel unhappy, write an article to vent and clarify your attitude to the world." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"It's already written!" Zhao Zongji walked to the desk, picked up a few pieces of letter paper and said, "Look! β
Chen Ke took it and took a look, only to see that it was written: 'I implore Your Majesty to think about the shame of contempt for the Central Plains in the north, and always harbor hatred for snow.' Sitting on the salary and tasting courage, not forgetting to be vigilant, the internal is to revise government decrees, clear rewards and punishments, distinguish between evil and good, and save money. Outside, the generals are selected, the soldiers are trained, the Anfu is abolished, and the building is mighty. So that the two sides hear the wind and do not dare to be introverted, even if they invade the territory, it will not be a serious trouble......
"Very good, just write it like that." After reading it, he nodded and smiled: "As soon as this piece of music is published in the newspaper, many people will move closer to you." β
"I don't know if it's going to get closer." Zhao Zongji suddenly smiled and said: "I only know that we have only been back in Beijing for two days, and someone has already been impeached." β
"So fast?" Chen Ke was surprised.
"It's that fast." Zhao Zongji nodded and said: "A few officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory are arrogant and rude when we go to the meeting; There are many words that invade the Liao Lord, causing the negotiations to drag on for a long time, and there are more than a dozen articles, and we are criticized to the fullest. β
"Then why are you so happy?" Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Because the official family gave them a word," Zhao Zongji smiled: "Get out!" β
"Hahahaha......" Chen Ke laughed: "Good scolding, it's refreshing!" β
"Yes," Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "This group of fools actually thinks that the official family doesn't know right from wrong......
"Is it clear what is right and wrong...... Chen Ke stopped laughing, and whispered the matter of 'Liu Tianwang' to Zhao Zongji.
"I know that Liu Meiren, but this is the first time her brother has heard of ......" Zhao Zongji snorted and said: "Such a stupid thing is rampant on the streets, it is really a shame for the royal family, you clean up well!" I'll give you the top if something happens! After a pause, he said faintly: "But it's nothing, then Liu Meiren is almost finished......"
"How?" Chen Ke said softly: "Didn't you hear that she is pregnant?" β
"Otherwise, she won't be finished." Zhao Zongji said in a deep voiceββ
