Chapter 67: The Prime Minister
Yuxiushan was righteous, and walked out of the door of his official residence in Lin'an. I looked up at the sky. Lead-gray clouds pressed low. The first snow in Lin'an, I'm afraid it's going to fall today. He sighed and lowered his head into his carriage.
Looking out of the swaying car window, the bleak winter scenery of West Lake is still the same as when he left ten years ago. But people have already quietly grown old. He was a little uneasy in his heart. After receiving Zhao Fan's letter the day before yesterday, he took care of it. , his unsuccessful son, has actually made a small achievement in the north............ This kind of opportunity will not be given up by the various factions that are looking down on the DPRK and China, and he and the child who is far away in the north are only afraid that they will be more deeply involved in this treacherous situation.
Fortunately, after so many years of ups and downs, I have already seen these things clearly. And can his own son cope with it? He vaguely felt that the wheel of history seemed to have been gently pushed and transformed. And what exactly is, Yuxiu Mountain in the winter of 1232 does not know.
The carriage stopped suddenly, Yu Zhong lifted the curtain, and replied to Yu Xiushan, who was in a trance: "Master, Zheng Shenzheng's carriage is in front, and he wants to invite you to get in the car and talk." ”
Yu Xiushan was startled, carefully checked his body again, and lowered his head and got out of the carriage. Sure enough, a dozen paces ahead, a delicately crafted, but old and faded painted carriage was waiting for him.
After Yu Xiushan entered the carriage, he saw a thin old man looking at him with a smile. Yu Xiushan didn't dare to snub this old man. In the 20 years of the reign of Minister Shi Miyuan, when the power was overwhelming, he could still stand in the center. It is also the teacher of the current emperor when he was in the palace, and outside the court, there are also his own proud disciples who are in charge of heavy troops. Seeing that Shi Mi is not far from death, he is the person who will be a man of his word in the future.
Yu Xiushan said with a smile: "Lord Participating in Politics, the carriage is cramped, forgive me for not being able to pay full salutes." Zheng Shenzhi also smiled: "Why should Brother Xiushan and I be so polite?" Please sit down and talk. ”
Waiting for Yuxiu Mountain to sit down, Zheng Shenzhi pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "This time, the government and the opposition have the highest call for Mr. Xishan, Mr. Heshan, and Brother Xiushan to return to the center, and the folk even have the song of 'Three Mountains come out together, everything is worry-free'. But in the end, the sage only chose Mr. Xishan to be the academy, Brother Xiushan to be the living room, and Mr. Heshan was still the county of Zhiwai............ What does Brother Xiushan think about this? ”
Yu Xiushan couldn't see any change in his expression, and said lightly: "The sage's decision, we as courtiers, we can't have the slightest doubt, I have already been discouraged." The saint re-upholstered me in the mud, which is the grace of heaven and earth............ It's just that Mr. Heshan's academic character is far better than mine, and he should be the one who stands on the court. ”
Zheng Shenzhi smiled and didn't speak, turning his head to look at the scenery slowly passing by outside the window. There was silence in the carriage for a long time. When it comes to their experience, a lot of things don't have to be said thoroughly, and they can take care of each other.
After a while, Zheng Shenzhi said softly: "The reward of the Xiushan brothers, the sage has already approved, and the noble son has been named the missionary, and the right to know Xuzhou, in addition, it is still to mention the military and political affairs of the Jingxi Road, Henan Guiyi Army is under control, and the Jingxi Yingtian envoy ............ Although it is a military dispatch, it is still the rank of a civil official, and in the future, the noble son will still have to advance in his career, and the rank of a civil official will be much better for him in the future............"
Yu Xiushan gave a deep salute: "Thank you for your trouble, the little dog is actually quite stubborn, and he has achieved something, but now he has been given such a big official position, which will only do more harm than good to him, so it is better to ask the political officer to suppress the luck of the children a little." ”
He knew in his heart that Zheng Shen was eager to do something, and wanted to lay the pattern of the Zheng Party's dominance in the court bureau after Shi Miyuan in one fell swoop. That's why he has grasped any bit of progress in the north, and high-ranking officials are even more stingy. I can barely be considered half of the Zheng Party's figure, but do you really want to bolt yourself to this carriage?
Zheng Shenzhi smiled noncommittally at his words, and asked with a smile: "Today is the day of the feast, what does Brother Xiushan want to talk to the saint today?" ”
Yu Xiushan knew that Zheng Shenzhi didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, and said with a smile: "Today, I am going to talk to the sage about Dong Zi's Spring and Autumn Dew, which is quite different from today. The saint was also very interested. ”
After speaking in the palace for a long time, Li Zong also asked with great interest about Yuxiu Mountain's son-in-law in Henan. It's a pity that Yu Xiushan only received a letter from me to report his safety, and a letter from Zhao Fan relaying Kangyong's experience. There's really nothing to talk about.
Before he got out of the palace gate, he was stopped again, and he took a famous post from Shi Miyuan and asked him to talk. Yu Xiushan sighed, this turmoil in the court, it seems that he can't avoid it.
Shi Miyuan's bedroom was originally very magnificent, and he has always been an old man who can enjoy it very much. But when Yuxiushan walked in, he didn't know why he only felt a heavy twilight. Even the body suddenly felt cold.
The old man who had mastered the Great Song Dynasty for twenty years was half-leaning on the bed, holding a teacup with his skinny hands. Dumbfounded as he watched the heat drift in front of him.
Yu Xiushan gave a deep salute: "Shi Xiang, I don't know what to summon the lower officials." ”
Shi Miyuan's dim old eyes looked at Yuxiushan, and only after a while did he say in a low voice: "Xiushan, sit down, we haven't seen each other for ten years." Let's put away these officialdom titles. ”
He chuckled lowly: "I can't do it, you have attacked me for so many years, it's not a big deal to talk to an old man who is dying." ”
Yu Xiushan sat down and said lightly: "The political views may be different, but Shi Yuan is indeed a little arbitrary, since the students can't stand up, they will rush back home to sell medicine." ”
Shi Miyuan burst out with a dull laugh in his throat: "Xiushan, you are still the temper of ten years ago, the gentleman is harmonious but different. You're a gentleman, and I'm ............ But now that it's this day, I've seen everything. At the end of the day, it is impossible to escape this body. I don't know why, but now I think about this imperial court ............ the most."
Looking at this old man in the twilight, Yu Xiushan suddenly felt a little unbearable, but he still couldn't say the words of good praise and good prayer. Only silence faced him.
Shi Miyuan said tiredly: "Even the mourning behind me, I know it now............ Posthumously crowned the king of the guard, and gave loyalty and dedication............ What does all this mean to me? I'm afraid that after a few days, even my body will be dug up and slashed again............ Now I can only take care of the living............"
He looked at Yuxiu Mountain, as if he suddenly rejuvenated his spirit again: "The matter of forming an alliance with Mongolia to fight gold has been decided." Everyone is very enthusiastic about such a big thing............ If the Jin Kingdom is gone, will our life in the Great Song Dynasty be better? But I'm old now, and no one listens to me............ Everybody's all eyes on where I left behind when I died............"
He took a sip of tea, but it leaked from the corner of his mouth. He didn't wipe it either. Shaking his head, he said: "Even my nephew is eager to fight Jin Guo, but how can Lianghuai be willing to let him see the merits?" Linglang of Xiushan heard that he was doing very well in Henan............ But there are two Huai, Ling Lang can't count on it............ It's too far, and it's too difficult to transfer by water. And my nephew is just in the right place to support him............ If we have a solid foundation in Henan, we may not be defeated too badly against the Mongols in the future............"
Yu Xiushan just listened in silence and did not express his opinion. Shi Miyuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm also selfish, I've been playing power tricks all my life, and I'm dying, so I have to plan for myself............ If Songzhi can come up, I can stay underground for a few more days............ You should go back and think about these words of mine. ”
Yu Xiushan stood up, and wanted to leave after giving the salute. Shi Miyuan suddenly stopped him: "Xiushan, you are also considered to be from my hands, and now I am going to die, can you tell me what you think of me?" It's also a definitive decision on my coffin. ”
Yu Xiushan thought about it for a while, turned around and said loudly: "Shi Xiang has been in power for more than 20 years, deciding things in the room, exercising power in the bed, destroying the national official system in the hall, manipulating the Taiwan admonition, controlling the way, and the world is silent. When Ning Zong, Han Xiang was in power, and the power of the world was like a young man who was weak and sick, and his treatment was easy to achieve. History is in power, the trend of the world, such as people dying of old age and getting sick, it is difficult to cure it. However, the history of the outside shows the flood and hides its traces, and the inside uses the cage to see its opportunity, and whether it is the kind of subordinate biography behind him is not something that students can guess............ Saying that, the student was offended. ”
With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out. Only Shi Miyuan was left muttering in the back: "Loyal minister............ Quan Chen............ ............ traitor? ”
The first snow of the year fell in Lin'an in the evening. Yu Xiushan stood in front of the carriage, watching the snow flakes gradually change from small to large, and finally sighed. Got into the carriage with a bow.
