Chapter 39: Heartfelt
Zhao Tingzhi did not look at General Xu, but said to Zhao Xu: Your Majesty, I heard that the night before yesterday, Ouyang Shu, the new imperial examination person, had gone to General Xu's mansion to pay a visit, and it seemed that he had some trouble with General Xu. The minister thought that it was possible for Xu Jiang to take revenge for personal gain because of this, and it would be unfavorable to Ouyang Shu in the matter of interpretation, so please make a clear judgment on your Majesty.
Although he knew that Ouyang Shu and his son Zhao Mingcheng were wrong, at this time, in order to attack political opponents, he didn't care about that little grudge.
Xu Jiang said angrily: Zhao Tingzhi, don't spew blood. Turning to Zhao Xu, it is true that there is no speculation between the minister and Ouyang Shu, but if you want to retaliate against him, how can you be willing to let him stay as an official in Beijing?
Zhao Xu was about to speak, but Zhao Tingzhi had already preemptively said: This is the cleverness and cunning of your Xu General. Openly showed kindness, but secretly ordered the headquarters to strictly check his performance. Aren't you going to be a secretary of the ministry? This kind of thing is just a matter of public and private pence to you, isn't it?
The ministers saw these two bigwigs arguing, and most of them were amused. Anyway, it's none of my business, and I just want to see the excitement in a relaxed mood. Therefore, no one came out to be a peacemaker. Mu Yun, who should have been excited, glanced at Zhao Tingzhi in front of him with some pity, and shook his head secretly.
Xu Jiang said calmly: Zhao Tingzhi, you only rely on speculation and have no real evidence to slander an important minister of the imperial court like me, I am afraid that this is not an official system! Besides, it is more appropriate to give your words to yourself.
Turning to Zhao Xu, he suddenly knelt down and said: Your Majesty, there is a discord between Zhao Tingzhi's son Zhao Mingcheng and Xinke Tanhua Ouyang Shu, which is a well-known thing, and he attacked the old minister like this, I am afraid that the purpose is not the old minister, but Ouyang Shu. Please let Your Majesty call the shots for Wechen!
When you hear it, that's exactly what happened. Originally, Ouyang Shu's slapping of Zhao Mingcheng was covered up recently because of more and bigger gossip on him. Without being reminded, everyone almost forgot for a while, and when Xu Jiang said this, their faces showed sudden expressions.
Although Zhao Tingzhi didn't see everyone's expressions, he clearly felt this. He hurriedly said angrily: General Xu, you don't want to spew blood
Okay! Zhao Xu interrupted a little impatiently: "It's all my minister, look at you one by one, what kind of system you have become!"
Zhao Tingzhi was scolded by Zhao Xu, and suddenly sobered up, and secretly said in his heart: What's wrong with me? What am I talking about today? Even if it is a young man who has just been included in the court class, he should not be like this, alas, this time, it can be regarded as planting!
Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zhao Xu waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, Xu Aiqing, you should tell me, what kind of positions can be arranged for these two among the current Beijing officials?"
General Xu thought for a while and said: The minister has an idea, please refer to it!
That night, although it was already late, the study room of Duanwang's Mansion was still brightly lit. A large group of guards waited a few dozen paces outside the study door. In this way, they themselves could not hear what the two people in the study were saying, and others could not know. They were given a very firm order: whoever came in, they were to stop it, even the princess.
Everyone wanted to know who this mysterious guest was, but they could only think about it in their hearts, and judging from the importance of the king, this person was definitely not simple. When working in the palace, you will always find that there are many secrets in it, and you will inevitably be curious about these secrets, but it is much safer not to know than to know.
This mysterious guest is naturally Mu Yun. Although he and Zhao Ji are in a cooperative relationship, he has never exposed his identity in front of anyone in the Duanwang Mansion other than Zhao Ji himself. And today, after witnessing Tong Guan pass the denial and get through so easily, he strengthened this determination. Before Zhao Ji really ascended the throne as the king, Tong Guan was never willing to let people know the relationship between him and Zhao Ji.
Although Zhao Ji also understood Mu Yun's caution, he was still a little difficult to accept in his heart. During the day today, there were too many people who wanted to see him, and some of them were not even under Mu Yun's official positions, these people still walked generously to the front door to visit, and Mu Yun walked through the back door, and it was so mysterious, how could Zhao Ji be happy about this.
However, if you are unhappy, you are not happy, but Zhao Ji knows Mu Yun's details and understands his strength. In fact, when Mu Yun first contacted him, he did not hide his Mingjiao background. Instead of concealing it, it was used as a bargaining chip. With the kind of things that Mingjiao has done for so many years, Zhao Ji has every reason to believe that Mingjiao can become a great help for him to inherit the unification.
As for Mingjiao's reputation among the people, as well as everyone's attitude towards it in the court now, Zhao Ji has no need to think about it. In order to ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five, it is nothing to insist on going your own way. He even took out that famous sentence to comfort himself: Those who are virtuous do not conform to the customs, and those who have achieved great achievements do not seek the public. He felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing for a person to be criticized and act arbitrarily, and it was nothing to be misunderstood or even criticized for a while in order to achieve the great achievement of inheritance.
Out of such considerations, Zhao Ji did not think about it at all, and agreed to Mu Yun's request to make Mingjiao the state religion after succeeding to the throne. It has been quite a short time for the two sides to start this cooperation.
Although Zhao Ji was dissatisfied with Mu Yun, his face did not show a trace of such a look. His face was full of smiles, and this smile was even this humility: Tianyu came to find Gu today, I don't know what happened?
Mu Yun was also laughing, and his smile was also very humble: His Royal Highness should know about what happened in the court today, right?
Zhao Ji didn't hide it, nodded, and said: I can't imagine that the thirteenth brother would be planted in the hands of a eunuch like this, it's really a sigh to think about!
Although he sighed in his mouth, there was no hint of a sigh on his face, but a trace of a smile was born, and his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were about to narrow into a slit.
Mu Yun also echoed and said: Your Highness's words are really deafening! However, King Jian is now down, but Your Highness, your great cause will continue. Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, this is the eternal principle, and I hope that His Royal Highness will learn a lesson, don't repeat the mistakes of the past!
Zhao Ji's face suddenly sank. It is undeniable that Mu Yun's words are a word of advice, but most of all the words of advice will seem to be contrary to the ear. Zhao Ji was on top of his head, but Mu Yun sent such a somewhat obscure sentence, and it was natural for him to be displeased. However, Zhao Ji was using Mu Yun at this time, so naturally he would not be thundered because Mu Yun didn't like a word. On the contrary, he had to make a polite and virtuous corporal, and he looked like a stream, and said: What Tianyu said is really a pearl of words, and the lonely king has inherited the teaching! So, what do you think we should do for today's plan?
Mu Yun said solemnly: Your Highness, the lower officials think that first, you should still distinguish who is traitorous and who is loyal, and those who are loyal and who come to meet with false feelings or have to change the court because of the fall of the master, Your Highness still don't accept it! The lower officials heard that today suddenly a lot of people came to His Highness's house to deliver worship notes, wanting to meet His Highness. Xia Guan felt that there was no need for His Highness to see them now. With His Royal Highness's current status and status, and with the help of so many ministers in the past, it should not be difficult to sit on that chair, so why bother to find more people to share the merits of Conglong and cause the followers of His Highness's lineage to be unhappy!
