"Xia Yan said a few days ago that he would sacrifice separately, and separate the ritual of sacrificing heaven and earth on the winter solstice every year and sacrificing to heaven alone. Zhang Xuan is too, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, but he is still willing to deal with Xia Yan and others, and he has to quarrel with Xia Yan to argue. Originally, after Bing'er killed corrupt officials, the nationwide strategy of fighting corruption and advocating clean government and recovering hereditary Qi Zhuangtian has been implemented very well, and Zhang Xuan has made great contributions. The national economy is slowly beginning to recover, quite a revival and a new look, and now I am afraid that I will be on fire with Xia Yan, and it will be delayed again. Hey, Zhang Xuan is a mad dog, Xia Yan didn't mess with him for anything. Lu Song sighed and said.

Duan Qingfeng smiled, Lu Song looked at him suspiciously, Duan Qingfeng said: "Don't blame Zhang Xuan for going crazy, this matter is Xia Yan who moved Zhang Zhang's bottom line." ”

"Why?" Lu Song looked at Duan Qingfeng with a smile, his eyes were full of appreciation, it seemed that he had also thought of it, just to see if Duan Qingfeng had thought of it with himself.

"Zhang Xuan started by debating etiquette, and now the saint governs the country with etiquette, isn't Xia Yan robbing other people's jobs and taking the top position, if it is me, I have to be anxious." Duan Qingfeng Road.

"Okay, Qingfeng, if you enter the court as an official and are a great talent, you can see the problem really thoroughly, and you can analyze the problem so clearly and directly through the essence in a moment, uncle, I admire." Lu Song Road.

Duan Qingfeng clenched his fists and said, "Uncle praised it." ”

"It's not an exaggeration to say that, you're a talented person. Well, let's get back to business, although Zhang Xuan is the first assistant of the cabinet, it is too far worse than the previous first assistant's Taishan collapsed and remained unchanged, and he was so happy. And extremely crazy. For example, Yang Tinghe demoted him to Nanjing at the beginning of the ceremony, and he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere in despair, and later after the minister of Zuo Shunmen's court. He began to be arrogant again, like a man who suddenly became rich in the village. No one is making enemies everywhere in his eyes, hey, but the times create heroes, if he is placed in normal times, he will not be able to climb this position at all, but today's Jiajing is the era when he Zhang Xuan is active, at least for now. Lu Song said.

Lu Song sighed and continued: "After taking the throne, Zhang Xuan began to be greedy. Although no one of you brothers told me about this, I am not blind after all, Bing'er induced Zhang Xuan to change from a corrupt official to a huge greed. It's really 'indispensable'. ”

Duan Qingfeng smiled and didn't speak, which was considered to be a tacit acquiescence. Lu Song also smiled: "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Being an official does not want to be prosperous and rich. That's only the ambition of the picture, and after the ambition is successful, it's time to make the picture more affordable. Therefore, Zhang Zhang's later greed was nothing, and he was not too excessive. On the contrary, in addition to Zhang Zhang's attainments in etiquette, Bing'er also guided him to do many good things for the country and the people with good intentions, and Zhang Zhang's implementation was very good, and his innovation was also good. Indeed, according to the characteristics of officialdom, according to local conditions, the Ming Dynasty has been completely renewed. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and Daming is thriving. It's really my luck. It's just that this person's personality is very distorted, like a mad dog, as soon as Xia Yan provoked him, he gave up these great careers and devoted himself to the scolding war with Xia Yan. ”

"Xia Yan I have seen, although there are some talents, but his identity is very different from Zhang Xuan, if I am Zhang Zhang, I will definitely turn a blind eye and listen to it, let it go, I am a Honghu How can I compete with the bird." Lu Song said.

Duan Qingfeng stopped talking for a moment, and Lu Song frowned slightly: "Virtuous nephew, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why should there be any restraint between you and me." ”

"It's a pity that you are not Zhang Zhang, and you will not be able to become Zhang Xuan in your life. You are like a circle, delicate and edgeless, and you hide your personality in officialdom, making you become featureless. This kind of person will not offend others, and it is difficult to make people remember, even if it is the emperor, he does not dare to reuse it, because he is too tactful, and the emperor can't grasp his weaknesses and can't control him. Above the officialdom, people without edges and corners can only go with the flow, sliding up and down like going uphill and downhill with the factors next to them, and will not stop or get stuck in one place like other shapes. In this way, it rises and descends quickly, and there is no foundation to speak of. Duan Qingfeng said bluntly.

Lu Song's face was blue and red, and the red was what Duan Qingfeng said, which was reasonable, and Qing Zai couldn't help but be a little unable to get off the stage when he was taught a lesson by a junior. Duan Qingfeng is right, Lu Song has no edges and corners of his own, and the previous decline and current fortune are all because of the relationship between his son Lu Bing's status and his own relationship with the old man of Xingwangfu. Hey, I've seen it too thoroughly, and I'm too slippery to be a person, so it's good, but it's not good

Suddenly, Lu Songha laughed, patted Duan Qingfeng's shoulder and said, "Yes, virtuous nephew, you are right, but such a blunt statement can make the old man a little unbearable." In fact, think about it, you and I are the same kind of people, we both see too thoroughly, but I am mixed in the officialdom, you are outside, I have become a fan of the authorities, and you have become a bystander. ”

Duan Qingfeng opened his mouth and didn't continue, he was a little lost just now, sometimes people can't listen to the truth. Is he really the same as Lu Song? Naturally it is different, Duan Qingfeng understands in his heart that the difference between himself and Lu Song is that Lu Song is mixed in the officialdom because he loves power, and he has inseparable feelings for high-ranking officials, lofty status and respect of thousands of people, and he is nothing more than for a love word.

"Qingfeng Xian nephew, guess who won the battle between Xia Yan and Zhang Xuan in the court today?" Lu Song looked at Duan Qingfeng with a smile.

Duan Qingfeng sighed slightly and said, "Is it Xia Yan?" ”

"Why do you think Xia Yan won?" Lu Song said: "This Zhang Xuan is very powerful, and he doesn't know how much deeper the foundation in the court is than Xia Yan, and he is a red man in the eyes of the emperor, and he is the hero of the great ceremonial time." On the other hand, Xia Yan is alone, his foundation is not deep, and he has no deep relationship with the saints, even if he is eloquent, it is impossible to fight the Confucians? ”

Duan Qingfeng said: "The people of the world are all his people in the eyes of the emperor, no matter whether the relationship is deep or not, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all the same." Whether the relationship is deep or not depends on the emperor's mood and preferences, if I like you today, the relationship will be better, and I will become a celebrity in front of the saint, I don't like you today, or something has provoked the anger of the saint, hehe, just like Lu Bing back then, even if he is like a brother, he has to be degraded as worthless? What's more, he has been in charge for three years, and when the big etiquette incident has passed, Zhang Zhang's enthusiasm should also pass, he has fought with Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing over the years, no matter who he borrowed, but after all, he won on the surface, and the way of imperial equilibrium should also let Zhang Xuan lose once. ”

Lu Song nodded approvingly, and motioned for Duan Qingfeng to continue, Duan Qingfeng continued to speak: "In terms of facts, Xia Yan said that this time it has reached the crack in the emperor's heart. In terms of the Ming system, no matter how high the position of the minister, it is difficult to defeat the emperor's words, so it is useless to have no foundation and no connections. Now that bigwigs like Yang Ting and Yang Yiqing no longer exist, there is no one else except Lu Bing, so Zhang Zhang's so-called connections are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the emperor, and they can be vetoed in one sentence without considering his feelings. ”

"Anything else?" A glimmer of light appeared in Lu Song's eyes, and he felt a deep feeling, and giving birth to a child should be like a breeze.

"Absolutely." Duan Qingfeng was also not polite, and said frankly: "These network foundations will not only not become a condition for helping Zhang Zhang, but will become a factor dragging him down, if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that Zhang Xuan will also be planted on these so-called network foundations." ”

Lu Song was shocked and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"The imperial power is inviolable, openly gang up, let the emperor think when he sees it, the tree is a big move, and he is ruined, and he used his own strength and a few allies to fight against Yang Tinghe and Zhang Xuan of the Manchu Dynasty, how can I not think about it, isn't Xia Yan now him at that time? The emperor likes this kind of lonely and loyal minister, a person listens to the emperor's orders, does not form a party or engage in personal interests, he is the emperor's person wherever he goes, and he is blind when he only listens to what the emperor's others say, can the emperor not like such a person? The way of being an official is naturally not like this, because otherwise, even if the family background is illustrious and the hard work is high, it will not be mixed, but if you climb to a certain position, it should be so, as long as you can go around in front of the emperor's eyes, you must be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner. It was also because of this that Zhang Xuan became the emperor's descendant. But now that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, when it comes to the big sky, Zhang Xuan's people are also people, can the emperor be happy? Duan Qingfeng said.

Lu Song frowned and said, "Isn't that Bing'er too big-flying?" You compare him to Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing, and the fate of these two people is both."

"Lu Bing is different from them." Duan Qingfeng said resolutely, without a trace of hesitation in his voice: "Lu Bing has taken a different path, I can't say anything in the future, but no one can move Lu Bing at the moment." The emperor knows that Lu Bing is righteous, although in front of the world, let alone righteous brothers, even if they are brothers, how many enemies are enemies. But Lu Bing's foundation of Shandong's rich and rival country and 100,000 male soldiers only listened to him, and he had become a prince, even the saints in this world did not dare to move Lu Bing easily, and for a fierce person like Lu Bing, he could only win over and not suppress. I think the saint is a smart person, and he should have understood this truth through what Lu Bing has done over the years, even if he may have doubts and indignation in his heart, he is helpless. ”

Lu Song breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, but immediately looked at the left and right nervously, what Duan Qingfeng said just now was a big disrespectful word, Duan Qingfeng said with a smile: "I know that the wall has ears, uncle, don't worry, there is no one nearby." ”

"Qingfeng virtuous nephew, with your help, why should Bing'er worry about the great cause?" Lu Song clenched his fists and bowed slightly to the young Duan Qingfeng. (To be continued......)
