Chapter 98: Three Dozen (12)
On New Year's Day, Da Song was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. If it was a tradition in the past, the court of the Great Song Dynasty would hold a banquet, as well as various sacrifices to the sky and lanterns. The royal family and noble officials were in prominent positions to 'rejoice with the people'.
On the New Year's Day of the 335th year of the Great Song Dynasty, according to the tradition of the Zhao official family, the newspaper published the news that "the Zhao official family went to the army station to comfort the army", and the local chief officials in Kaifeng and other cities also went to the public security, fire department, telegraph and other departments to pay New Year's greetings to these front-line workers who were fighting on the front line during the New Year and maintaining the festival.
As for the royal family, Zhao Qian took his wife and children to the old lady's house, greeted the old lady for the New Year, and had a meal by the way. Empress Qin was in a good mood, but she didn't mention the reason for her good mood. After eating, she chatted with her daughter-in-law about some topics that women cared about. Zhao Qian could only take the child to set off firecrackers outside.
Zhao Qian personally did not have much interest in firing artillery, and he used more vigorous 'cannon battles' on the battlefield and the construction site of the mountain. When it comes to explosives, Zhao Qian has only one trained caution. Watching the children happily fire, he couldn't help but have an inexplicable feeling of 'I'm old'.
was thinking wildly, but saw the eldest son turn his head and shout: "Mother, come and set off the cannon." The little guy shouted and ran towards the door behind Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian turned his head and saw his wife appear at the door. Now he only felt relaxed, but someone could take on a huge responsibility.
handed over the baby to the baby's wife, and Zhao Qian went to see his wife. As soon as I saw the old lady, I heard the old lady smile and say, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Qian to speak, Qin Yuzhen pointed to the sofa opposite, and changed into a more comfortable position on the soft rocking chair. Zhao Jiaren's three-flowered cat didn't know when it was lying on Qin Yuzhen's lap and dozing off, this little thing was chased by Zhao Qian's babies before without a trace.
Waiting for her son to do it, Qin Yuzhen asked, "I heard that you forcibly asked the officials to do what you wanted?" ”
Seeing the old lady's calm expression, Zhao Qian couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking. If it had been before, the old lady would have reprimanded Zhao Qian. So he said very cautiously: "Where do I have so much courage, it should be the officials who scold me." ”
"What did your dad say about this?"
"My dad sent me a telegram saying that the order was not right, and that we would discuss it again." Zhao Qian felt that what his father said was right, but he didn't know where it was.
"Your father said that you science and engineering students always feel that there is absolute right and wrong in the world. I originally thought that those children looked good one by one, but later on, what your father said was still true. Qin Yuzhen's tone was full of ridicule.
Zhao Qian wanted to roll his eyes, but suddenly felt that his eyes lit up. Looking at her son's expression, Qin Yuzhen smiled and said, "Don't tell me what you think." You've added the title of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and it's time for you to make your own decisions. ”
This familiar style made Zhao Qian shut his mouth. He felt that the old lady always liked to look at himself like this. This has been the case since childhood. However, Zhao Qian is also thinking about whether to let a new wave of officials from science and engineering take on the heavy responsibilities of the court in the future, so he doesn't want to talk about these things with his mother. Zhao Qian turned the topic to the matter related to the ministry, "Mother, why do you think my father said the wrong order." ”
Wen Tianxiang said for sure, send the official you think is down. Did I guess wrong? ”
"Exactly."
"I guess you must ask Wen Tianxiang to directly set the rules, and then send down that official according to this rule."
"Yes."
"You just follow the method proposed by Wen Tianxiang." Qin Yuzhen gave the answer.
"But after this is done, I will go to the Military Counseling Committee......"
Qin Yuzhen's hand stroked the three-flowered cat on her lap, and said a little lazily: "Since you are about to go to the place, you have to do this." You leave everything to Wen Tianxiang, this is making things difficult for them. ”
"Isn't that because of people?" Zhao Qian said his reasoning.
"What is not a matter of people? If you don't meet someone you don't like to look up to, how do you know what is right and what is wrong? It's like this in officialdom, and some people do things that cause public outrage, so there are rules. If you set the rules and then deal with people, that's what people do. How we come to the truth, it must have accumulated a lot of things first. The reverse is completely wrong. ”
"This is officialdom, not the system." Zhao Qian knew that his ideas were flawed, but he still took it out and said it to see how the old lady would criticize.
"That's why you science students think so. Things between people are actually simpler than your dozens or hundreds of theorems. After finding out the person to dispose of it first, tell everyone that if you do it again, you will continue to clean up. Someone will definitely come out and continue, and then you will deal with it. At this time, the formulation of the system was smoothly completed. You're going straight to the finish line, but everyone doesn't know what you're going to do. ”
"Hmm...... That's right, too. Zhao Qian felt that what the old lady said was not wrong at all.
Looking at her son's expression, Qin Yuzhen smiled and said, "Oh? Are you so looking forward to going to the local area to seize the military power? ”
Zhao Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you ...... Can you see this? ”
"Wen Tianxiang and those people will retire sooner or later, once a son of heaven and a courtier, when they retire, you don't have your own people, and you are still subject to officials. I used to think that your father's education was wrong, but now that I look at it, it turned out that I was wrong. You can master the army in a year or two, and you will have the confidence to do anything. Well done. Qin Yuzhen's tone was gentle, which was very inconsistent with what she was talking about.
"Understood." Zhao Qian felt that what the old lady said was what he thought. These days he feels like he's finally dawning on a lot of things, especially how to face the journey to power. In the past, he always floated on the surface of the complicated world, and those contradictory people and things were tangled together, which made him dizzy. When he was finally able to settle down, he saw a completely different world.
"Go ahead. Well done. Qin Yuzhen gave an eviction order.
Waiting for her son's family to leave, Qin Yuzhen continued to sit in the rocking chair. She felt inexplicably melancholy, her former son didn't seem to grow up, which made Qin Yuzhen annoyed, and she couldn't wait for her son to fly in the sky. Now that my son has finally grown up, his wings are stiff, and he is finally able to move forward on his own. Looking at the child's back, Qin Yuzhen began to worry that her son would fly farther and farther away, and would never even come again.
This contradictory mood made Qin Yuzhen herself not know how to solve it. Then she found that she was looking forward to her husband Zhao Jiaren being able to return to her as soon as possible. In this empty home, she only felt as if this was no longer a place to belong.
The seven-day holiday on New Year's Day passed quickly, and Zhao Qian went to the Ministry of Officials again. This time, it was those people who came forward, and Zhao Qian directly complained to Wang Quanle, the prefect of Luoyang. When he thought of Wang Quanle before, Zhao Qian's heart was full of various emotions. At this time, talking about Wang Quanle and Wang Quanle's actions, Zhao Qian found that this person and everything this person did was just one thing for Zhao Qian, and it would be over after dealing with it.
This kind of experience is also rare for Zhao Qian himself, and Zhao Qian always felt that it was difficult for him to really solve a matter in the past. Especially those things that impress me, those things always seem to haunt me. He thought that Wang Quanle would do the same.
At this time, Zhao Qian found that Wang Quanle was like the mud stuck to his shoes when he passed through the swamp, and after removing the mud, he could move on. This matter is finally over.
Wen Tianxiang, the secretary of the ministry, officially accepted Zhao Qian's complaint, and after asking Zhao Qian to sign the complaint and the minutes of the meeting, Wen Tianxiang told Zhao Qian, "We will notify Director Zhao if we have the result." If necessary, I will ask Director Zhao to come again. ”
"Okay." Zhao Qian felt a sense of relief in his heart. It's finally time to move on to the next step. He said: "I propose to add a recommendation that retaliation is strictly prohibited, I wonder when the officials will give a reply?" ”
After speaking, Zhao Qian pushed the report in front of Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang didn't even look at the report, "Whether you accept it or not, we will reply to Director Zhao within fifteen working days." ”
Then the meeting broke up. Walking out of the gate of the ministry, Zhao Qian wrapped his scarf tightly and put on a mask. It was snowing heavily, and Zhao Qian didn't bother to look back at the official building, and set off directly towards the next destination. He had to go back to the Water Resources Department to go through the transfer procedures, and Zhao Qian would be the chief cadre of the Military Retirement Committee in the future. Then I had to pack my luggage, say goodbye to my family, and report to my new job.
It's going to take at least a year. There are many, many things to do.
The matter took three days to finish, because the place of work was in Zheng County, very close to Kaifeng, Zhao Qian told his family that he would come back once in half a month. The eldest son couldn't help but cry when he heard that his father would only come back once in such a long time. When the other two babies heard this, they cried inexplicably.
Zhao Qian and his wife finally stopped crying, Zhao Qian said: "Dad is not at home, you can't cry anymore, you have to help your mother do more housework in the future." Only then can you become a good person with responsibility. ”
Although the baby seemed to understand or not, she still nodded vigorously. Waiting for Zhao Qian to leave, the eldest son suddenly remembered something, "Dad, you said you told the story, but in the end you still didn't finish it." ”
"Oh. That's the story. I'll finish telling you. Zhao Qian sat on the sofa with the child in his arms and talked about the last paragraph.
The first two beatings of the white bone spirit made the white bone spirit true soul come out of its shell, but it only knocked down two flesh bodies. Tang Seng only saw the corpse that was beaten by Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, no matter what Sun Wukong said, he felt that Sun Wukong was fierce, not only killed people, but in order to cover up the crime, even the family of the first victim was killed to avoid future troubles.
At this time, the unwilling white bone spirit once again possessed an old man, saying that he was looking for his daughter and wife who had not returned home. At this time, Tang Seng felt that his heart was weak and he didn't dare to say anything. Wukong hid the golden hoop stick by his side, stepped forward to face the goblin, and said with a smile: "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me!" I know you goblin. Wukong took out the golden hoop stick, afraid that the master would recite the incantation, so he did not do it immediately, and secretly called the gods and ordered: "This goblin has come to deceive my master three times and twice, and this time it will be killed." You testify in mid-air. "The gods are watching from the clouds. Goku picked up the golden hoop stick and killed the goblin with a single blow, and the goblin turned into a pile of white bones after his death.
The Bone Spirit has finally been destroyed.
After listening, Zhao Qian's son couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, it turns out that there are many immortals to prove it." ”
When Zhao Qian heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Although he laughed, Zhao Qian was not happy at all in his heart. This incident in Luoyang taught Zhao Qian a very profound lesson. If nothing happens, the guys of the True God Sect will probably be executed, and Wang Quanle, Secretary Lu and the others will not have a good result.
If you look at it from the water, after Zhao Qian's efforts, the truth was revealed, and the villains were punished. But from a wider underwater point of view, all the bad things are just the result of the final stirring up of many underwater undercurrents that cannot be seen on the surface.
The capital that a Luoyang prefect can influence and control is only a little bigger, and compared with the forces behind him that want to move to the military, it is just a small bubble. With the collision of the invisible undercurrent underwater, Wang Quanle instantly became very large and conspicuous, and in the next moment, Wang Quanle's bubble burst.
It's like Sun Wukong called many immortals and killed the white bone spirit with a stick. Killed and killed. Killing a white bone spirit was just a small hill encounter between their master and apprentice who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.
What unfolded in front of Zhao Qian's eyes at this time was far grander than what appeared on the surface. The army looked at the position of dominating the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and probably all the civilian officials would rejoice at this news. But after the army is reorganized, it will become a sharper blade, and any force that tries to really confront the official family will be slashed by this knife.
What Zhao Qian has to do now is to make this knife into a power that only belongs to the official family.
As for the civil officials, Zhao Qian also has his own ideas. He didn't know the attitude of the officials and cadres who came out of the department to the old-school officials, but now Zhao Qian completely understood. It was the counterattack of these officials that exposed the true face of Wang Quanle and Wang Quanle's voters in broad daylight. They didn't do it before, they just couldn't.
Without the emergence of a powerful person like Zhao Qian, who does not represent a traditional official, any resistance will only be retaliated against more violently by Wang Quanle and them. Wang Quanle thought that he could settle everything, but he didn't expect that it was his unscrupulous attitude that led to his failure. If Wang Quanle relented a little, even Zhao Qian couldn't do anything about him.
