Chapter 81: Various Foreign Appointments
A person's energy is always limited, and no matter how serious a person is, he will have a bad brain after reading dozens of pieces. Dong Songchen has a deep understanding of this, not only because he has sufficient experience in dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Looking at the official family or the ministers of the government hall handling official business, they also have the same performance.
According to the order of the official family, he entered the main hall, and gently swept the movements in front of the official family, and Dong Songchen determined that the order of the concerts he was quietly arranging had played a role. If Zhao Jiaren's recital is put in the first place, officials who are still strong will feel that they should be cautious. Although it is not deliberately indecisive, people always like to waste a little more energy when they are energetic.
After several successive pieces with the obvious same vein make the official feel the boredom of repetition, a different piece of music from the previous one can easily arouse the interest of the official family in making a decision. There are many things that the chamberlains must be careful about, especially not to deceive the officials, and Dong Songchen knows this very well. However, the means used by the chamberlains to influence the officials are not necessarily to do things openly, and those who pretend to be smart will definitely be recognized.
After saluting, he stood in front of the official family, and Dong Songchen heard Song Lizong say: "Ma Guangzu recommended Zhao Jiaren to be the governor of Fuzhou. What do you think. ”
Sure that this was indeed the case, Dong Songchen immediately replied: "Official, I don't know if Zhao Jiaren can tell the official family that he wants to be the governor of Fuzhou." ”
"Yes." Although Song Lizong is busy with government affairs and is old, he has not completely forgotten it.
"In that case, the official family must have a royal judge." Dong Songchen replied according to a very ordinary process. It was Song Lizong who was in charge, not Dong Songchen, and all the servants who couldn't understand this ended up very miserable.
"For some reason, I always feel like it's hard to decide." Song Lizong said to Dong Songchen, who was very trusting, "I think Jia Yidao is afraid that he may not be willing to agree to this." ”
"Why didn't Jia Rudao agree?" Dong Songchen followed Song Lizong's words and guided downward.
"He mentioned that he wanted to establish a cotton business, and asked Zhao Jiaren for a cotton official camp." Song Lizong's grasp of the government is not bad at all.
Dong Songchen also understands this, and when he got here, Dong Songchen replied: "Official." Jia Rudao wants to use his official position to clamp Zhao Jiaren, and it is difficult for the official family to use his official position to clamp Zhao Jiaren? ”
At this end of the conversation, Song Lizong's heart suddenly brightened. If Zhao Jiaren's cotton cloth official camp is made, it is just a matter of edict. If Song Lizong used his official position to blackmail Zhao Jiaren, it would be a shame for Song Lizong. With a wave of his hand, Song Lizong asked Dong Songchen to go down, and he continued to deal with the recital himself.
Leaving the main hall, Dong Songchen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Jiaren's desire to do Fuzhou Zhizhou is officially on the table, and Dong Songchen can only say so much for the time being. Whether it can continue to promote in the future also depends on the situation. Of course, there is also the possibility that Song Lizong will approve it immediately. Before this matter enters the game of interests again, Dong Songchen also has to wait for the opportunity.
Dong Songchen had no intention of repaying the favor, and he had no intention of helping Zhao Jiaren get things done at all costs because he wanted to repay the favor. As an in-house attendant, Dong Songchen thinks that Zhao Jiaren can also understand this. Anyway, regardless of whether Zhao Jiaren understands it or not, Dong Songchen feels clear of conscience because he didn't deliberately ruin Zhao Jiaren's affairs.
Zhao Jiaren also did not take into account the factor of Dong Songchen, Dong Songchen once did something to recommend Ding Daquan, which caused a great backlash in the entire court. If he can come back this time, he will definitely not dare to touch his head again. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren did not take Dong Songchen as the main force to promote.
Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, Zhao Jiaren is ready to visit Jia Rudao's mansion. However, the guard who sent a message to Jia Yidao came back to report, and Jia Yidao actually said that he was busy these days and had no time to see Zhao Jiaren. It can be seen that the matter of cotton cloth is not Jia Yidao's top priority at all, and this reality makes Zhao Jiaren feel quite unhappy.
Jia Yidao is indeed the prime minister of Zuo, but Zhao Jiaren is now also a person who goes up and down thousands of times a day. dragged him in Lin'an and couldn't move, this waste of life is really very unpleasant. Just when some people were restless, someone handed over a prayer post, indicating that it was for Zhao Jiaren. Zhao Jiaren didn't know what happened to Lin'an, who was unfamiliar with the place. In the same year of his old age, Sima Kao was taking classes in Quanzhou.
After taking a look, Zhao Jiaren came to the spirit. This is a letter of worship sent by Wen Tianxiang, after seeing Wen Tianxiang last time, Zhao Jiaren has a very good impression of him. Hurriedly opened the post, it turned out that Wen Tianxiang asked Zhao Jiaren to dinner.
'Prime Minister Wen' invited, how could Zhao Jiaren not agree. He wrote a reply letter and promised to meet this time. However, the meeting place should be changed to the wine store opened by Zhao Jiaren's Lin'an commercial point.
Zhao Jiaren once held an annual meeting here for his subordinates who stayed at the commercial point, and invited everyone to eat together. At that time, most of the employees went back for New Year's Day, and there were not many people. At this time, I feel that the popularity is much stronger.
Zhao Jiaren is more than 180 tall, and Wen Tianxiang is taller than Zhao Jiaren. Coupled with his fair complexion and burly figure, he is really the focus of everyone's attention. At this time, Zhao Jiaren was no longer as shocked as when he first saw Wen Tianxiang, and when the image of this masculine man with a magnificent appearance replaced the image of a withered Chu prisoner, Zhao Jiaren felt more and more that Wen Tianxiang should be like this. Only such a beautiful man has the appeal and can support the struggle of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty in history. If the leader looks like a smoker, his subordinates will feel unconfident when they look at it.
The two sat down in the private room, and the meal was quickly served. After eating and drinking for a while, Zhao Jiaren found another reason to like Wen Tianxiang. This 'Prime Minister Wen' was born in a wealthy family, so there was no fuss in his behavior. There is no such thing as deliberately making a fuss to please others.
The current criminal department judge Wen Tianxiang didn't know Zhao Jiaren's thoughts, he drank all the wine in the cup, and then said: "I also just learned that Brother Zhao has returned to Lin'an. I was about to let go of my foreign duties, so I hurried to get together with Brother Zhao. If we don't see each other again at this time, we don't know when we will meet again. ”
Zhao Jiaren was born in 1240 in this era, and Wen Tianxiang was 'four years older' than Zhao Jiaren, born in 1236. Wen Tianxiang was the champion of Bao Yu for four years. Zhao Jiaren was a jinshi in the first year of Baoyou. So Zhao Jiaren said with a smile: "I don't know where Brother Wen has been promoted." ”
"Ruizhou on Jiangnan West Road." Wen Tianxiang replied briskly.
"Jiangnan West Road ......" Zhao Jiaren didn't know what to say for a while. Jiangxi has never been a wealthy place, and a dignified champion was sent to a state there to be a governor. It's not a good arrangement.
Seeing Zhao Jiaren's expression like this, Wen Tianxiang smiled and said: "I have always felt that Jia Yidao is a traitor, and he has been on the table many times. Taijian are all Jia Nidao people, and they have repeatedly impeached me. A few days ago, I talked about Jia Rudao's chaotic change of the old system. It seems that Jia Xianggong is determined to drive me away. ”
Unexpectedly, Wen Tianxiang and Jia Yidao had such a grievance entanglement, Zhao Jiaren was quite surprised. But at this time, Zhao Jiaren couldn't even decide whether to say more.
"Brother Zhao, you should be able to be a Beijing official this time, right?" Wen Tianxiang didn't care about his own affairs, but asked Zhao Jiaren happily.
"I want to be the governor of Fuzhou, I don't want to be a Beijing official." Zhao Jiaren also told the truth.
"Why?" This time it was Wen Tianxiang's turn to be puzzled. In the Great Song Dynasty, everyone wants to be a Beijing official, and no one wants to be alone every three years.
"As a Beijing official, I don't think I can serve Jia Xianggong." Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but tell the truth to Wen Tianxiang.
Hearing this, Wen Tianxiang was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud. After laughing heartily, Wen Tianxiang picked up his wine glass, "Brother Zhao said it well. In order not to serve Jia Xianggong, I drank this cup! ”
