Chapter 216: A game within a game, being an official depends on acting skills

Su Yunjun shook his head: "I'm just guessing, now that the Su family has been cleaned up, if she can still place people in the mansion, she doesn't need to make such a fuss in front of the Hua family." She can do something in the Su family, so that I can't make a family affair with King Song. ”

"But Yunjun, don't forget, if you don't enter the Song Palace, then the Song King will not take a concubine, and she will have no chance." Zhou Pan thought about speaking.

A sneer flashed in Su Yunjun's eyes: "Sister-in-law, don't forget, when she comes out of the door of Hua's house, if my marriage with King Song is stopped, she can only do enough in front of people to be the hostess of King Song's mansion." Let outsiders praise her again and again, and then pity her for being nameless and pointless, when the time comes, the emperor is afraid that he will be the master for her. After all, she is the daughter of Puzhou Thorn Shi, and she can be regarded as a good one. ”

Wei Mao looked at Su Yunjun and Zhou Pan: "Are you Chen Tang's women so powerful?" This is going to be put in Tubo to become a military division! ”

Su Yunjun smiled: "The princess will be in Chen Tang in the future, and she will understand when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Wei Mao's face changed: "If I want to marry, I will marry from the beginning to the end, if it is Chengri, it will be these bad things." Then I will never stay here to be wronged, and I will directly write a letter of resignation, and from then on he will take his Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge, and each will have a destiny. I don't want to waste time on this kind of thing, and spend all day trying to intrigue and intrigue. So when King Song rejected me, I was a little unhappy at first, but knowing that King Song rejected me because you were his favorite, I figured it out. He has someone he likes, and if I forcibly intervene again, it will only ruin the happiness of the three of us, and the gains outweigh the losses. Wei Mao looked at Su Yunjun very seriously.

One sentence made Su Yunjun and Zhou Pan look at her with admiration, how many people hope that they can be a couple for the rest of their lives, but how many people can understand this truth, and how many people can see it.

I can't help but appreciate the straightforward nature of the euonymus more, to be able to say this, and to know when to let go, and what to grab may not be able to get.

Su Yunjun and Zhou Pan glanced at each other, and they both thought of Su Zijin.

The Hua family has always done things quickly, and they just told Su Yunjun that they would send Hua Wensong and Hua Wencheng to Youzhou, and let them go to Yanbei to take root first. However, after three days, Zhang Yi wrote to Ruizong and wept bitterly, telling that Youzhou had insufficient troops and that the Hu people were always harassing the people, and asked Ruizong to send troops to Youzhou to suppress the Hu people and keep the people of Youzhou peaceful.

Immediately in the court, a cadre of civil servants was divided into two groups. It is said that Youzhou is located in Yanbei, although it is far away from the capital, it is also the land of our Chen Tang, and it is categorically impossible to allow the Hu people to make a mistake in the territory of Chen Tang. Some people also say that foreign enemies need to be suppressed, but they must first be at home before they can be taken out of the country, and the focus should be on rectifying the inside of the imperial court at the moment. After all, after Wu Wei and Wei, Chen Tang is far less prosperous than when Gaozong was in the country, and the oblique officials are wanton, and there are only a handful of people available in the court.

Seeing that the courtiers were in a mess, Wei Anshi, Yao Chong, Song Zhang Yue and other old ministers didn't say a word, and Ruizong's face sank. Several old ministers kept silent, and others were arguing, but I was afraid that a few old ministers didn't want to be a human being.

The argument was fruitless for a long time, and Ruizong was also tired of listening, so he directly announced his retirement from the court, leaving only a few old ministers to speak in the council.

Wei Anshi and the others looked at each other, and they all knew it in their hearts.

When he arrived at the inner hall, Ruizong looked at Wei Anshi and said, "What does Duke Wei think of what Zhang Yi mentioned today?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Anshi said respectfully: "In fact, the emperor has made a decision in his heart, and now although the court is in turmoil and needs to be rectified, the land of Yanbei cannot be ignored. After all, letting the Hu people do evil in Chen Tang's territory will only fuel their arrogance, and they are afraid that something bad will happen when the time comes. ”

Yao Chong saw that Wei Anshi finished speaking and continued: "Tubo, Turkic, Ryukyu, and Goryeo are all subject countries of my Chen Tang, if they see a small Hu tribe can be so arrogant, I am afraid that all the tribes will be restless at that time, so please ask the emperor to know it." ”

Ruizong sighed when he heard this: "I don't know this, it's just that there are very few people available in the court now, if General Qi and others are really sent to Yanbei, what about Kyoto." The Ryukyus had just sent envoys to ask the imperial court to send troops to support, but now the Japanese are everywhere, and the Fujian generation has suffered from the harassment of the Japanese invaders. ”

Song Wenyan: "Your Majesty, if it is a minister of the emperor's letter, the minister is willing to recommend one." ”

"Song Gong, please tell me who it is?" Ruizong heard Song speak, and hurriedly spoke, if there is someone available at this moment, it is naturally the best.

Seeing Song's face solemn, he said: "Jin Guogong Hua Qian!" ”

"It's... Jin Guogong has resigned and wants to enjoy his old age in peace, if he is allowed to go to Youzhou or Fujian at this time, he is afraid that it will cause criticism. Ruizong said with a sad face: "And Jin Guogong is only afraid that he will not accept this errand." ”

Before Hua Qian became the prime minister, he did the history of assassination in two places, whether it was the Western Regions or Yanbei, it was the place where Hua Qian had guarded. At the beginning, it was also a great feat, and when Gaozong was there, he relied on Hua Qian to hold half of the country, so that he could sit back and relax. If Hua Qian can go on the expedition, then whether it is Yanbei or Ryukyu, at least one side can be stabilized, so that the imperial court can also free up its hands to deal with the other side.

But when Hua Qian ascended the throne in Ruizong, he proposed to resign, and Ruizong also agreed, and now when he encounters a problem, he invites others to come out, and Ruizong also thinks it is not appropriate, after all, Hua Qian is also sixty years old.

Zhang Yue saw Ruizong's thoughts, and immediately rolled his eyes: "If the emperor is worried that the Duke of Jin will not go on the expedition, the minister has a plan, and the emperor might as well try." ”

"What scheme?" Ruizong couldn't help but look at Zhang Yue when he heard this.

I saw Zhang Yue say with a respectful face: "I heard that the eldest prince of the Jin State Mansion has always been smart, and he has also won the respect of the Jin State Prince, and now the eldest prince has just gotten married, although he has been in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp for half a year, but he has not really been on the battlefield." If the emperor sends the Hua Wensong brothers to Youzhou at this moment, the Duke of Jin will definitely not be at ease, and when the time comes, let Liu Xiang, who has always been at odds with the Duke of Jin, be the Sima of the prison army, and the Duke of Jin will only be afraid that he will show an old face and beg the emperor to take back his life. At that time, the emperor just put on a displeased posture and said, if you can't put it down, you can follow, and then there are ministers and others to knock on the side, and you are not afraid that the Duke of Jin will not follow. ”

Zhang Yue was full of confidence in his words, and Ruizong nodded when he heard this: "Now it has to be like this, if the Duke of Jin can really go out with the army, he can ensure the peace of the party." ”

Song Wenyan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Daoji's plan is good, and it can be used, but I also ask the emperor to order the Hua Wensong brothers to go to Yanbei." ”

Ruizong couldn't help but look at Song: "What does Song Gong mean by this?" ”

Song Wenyan said respectfully: "The Duke of Jin has been stationed in Yanbei originally, and he is more familiar with the situation and terrain of Yanbei, if he dares to let the Duke of Jin go to Fujian, he needs to re-familiarize himself with everything, wouldn't it be a waste." The minister once served as the assassin of Fujian, and the minister dared to ask the emperor for his life, and the minister went to Fujian. ”

Ruizong didn't expect that Song Yijie Wenchen would ask for orders to suppress the Japanese invaders, and suddenly his heart jumped and hurriedly said: "Song Gong is worried about the country and worried about the suffering of the people of Fujian, I can understand, but this matter of leading troops to fight is really not what Song Gong should do now." I also need Song Gong to stay in the palace to help me deal with the world's major affairs, and the matter of Fujian will be stopped, and I will send someone else. Wei Gong. ”

"The minister is here." When Wei Anshi heard this, he immediately responded.

Ruizong then ordered: "Immediately go down to the province to draft an edict, seal Hua Wensong as the general of Zhenbei, order them to prepare, and lead the troops to Yanbei with Zhang Yi in three days." ”

"Yes, the minister obeys." Wei Anshi respectfully received the order.

Taking advantage of Ruizong's inattention, several old foxes glanced at each other, and then respectfully watched Ruizong leave the council hall.

After confirming that Ruizong had left, Wei Anshi and the others smiled at each other, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Since the things ordered by the Duke of Jin have been done, Dao Ji will bother you to go again, tell the Duke of Jin, let him wait at home with peace of mind, and the edict of Zhongshu Province will be sent to his mansion later, so hurry up and get ready." ”

Zhang Yue smiled and nodded: "I'll go now." ”

When the edict from Zhongshu Province was delivered to Hua's family, Zhang Yue was sitting in the room drinking tea with Hua Qian, when he heard someone from outside, saying that it was the emperor's decree.

The two of them immediately went to receive the order respectfully.

Sure enough, Hua Qian was first surprised when he saw Gonggong Wan in the front hall, and then knelt down tremblingly. After listening to Gonggong Wan's reading, Hua Gan's brows were almost wrinkled, he took the edict, looked at Gonggong Wan and couldn't help but say: "Gonggong Wan, you are waiting by the emperor's side, can you help say something good, my grandson is still young, it is really difficult to take this position." ”

Gonggong Wan followed Ruizong's side, and naturally knew the words in the council hall, and couldn't help laughing in his heart when he saw this, the emperor just wants you to bow your head, how dare the slave talk more. Although he thought so in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Don't embarrass our family, this is the emperor's will, how can it be what our family says, the two young generals are now crowned General Zhenbei and General Guoyi, congratulations to the Duke of Jin." There is still something in the palace, and the emperor can't leave our family, so the Duke of Jin Guo will leave first. ”

Hua Qian watched Gonggong Wan block all the words, and suddenly grabbed Gonggong Wan anxiously, his face was very helpless.

Seeing this, Father-in-law Wan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue, who was standing on the side, immediately understood, stepped forward and pulled Hua Qian and said: "Duke Jin Guogong, since it is the emperor's will, let the two young generals go on the expedition." Now that the people of Chen Tang need them, it is their mission, if they can make a contribution and a half, the future of the two major generals will be limitless. This should be happy, Jin Guogong should think about the future of the two generals. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Hua Qian aside.

Wan Gonggong Ma withdrew and went back to the palace directly.

Waiting for the housekeeper to send Father-in-law Wan out, Hua Qian was still playing with Zhang Yue with a sad face. When he saw that the housekeeper came back and said that Gonggong Wan had returned to the palace to resume his life, Hua Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly his face changed, without the slightest sorrow, and he was completely strategic.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile and said: "Yao Gong and Guangping have always said that among us, Su Gong is the most tolerant, and you are the most slippery, it seems that this is a good word, it is simply two people before and after." ”

Hua Qian didn't care, just smiled and said: "I still have to prepare, I will go into the palace to cry later, alas, it's really not easy now." ”

In a word, it made Zhang Yue feel the same way: "Yes, it's not easy." It's just that why did the Duke of Jin have to go to Yanbei to gain a foothold, even if he stayed in the capital, King Song still had enough advantages. ”

Hearing this, Hua Qian shook his head and said, "If Bai Zhou stays in the capital, he will not necessarily lose, but what about Chen Tang? ”

Zhang Yue was speechless.

Yes, Chen Tang can't stand the toss anymore, if the King of Song competes with the King of Linzi, he will definitely set off a storm, and I am afraid that the entire Chen Tang will be buried in their hands. Although Hua Qian is the mentor of the King of Song, he is also an old minister of Chen Tang, if this is the case, he is sorry for the emperor under Jiuquan even if he dies.

"King Song went to Yanbei, preserved his strength, and gave King Linzi a chance to breathe. If the king of Linzi has no way, when the king of Song waives his army into Beijing again, the name is justified, and he can also defend the Chen Tang Dynasty, which is better than fighting in Beijing and losing both. If the king of Linzi can govern the whole world and the country and the people are safe, then the country will be very fortunate, and the king of Song will be the king of Yanbei with peace of mind. Besides, with the King of Song in Yanbei, the King of Linzi will also be a little jealous in his heart, and he can be conscientious when he sits in that seat, if there is no suppression by the King of Song, I am afraid that he will be so happy that he will become a faint monarch at that time. Hua Qian said all the words in his heart.

Hearing this, Zhang Yue nodded: "When things are like this, there is no better way." ”

"Daoji, in the future, I am afraid that I will still bother you, and after I leave the capital, I will ask Daoji to take more care of Guangping Houfu." Hua Qian thought about it and said to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue immediately responded when he heard this: "Where did the Duke of Jin Guo say, Duke Su and I have the grace of appreciation, if there is anything in the Guangping Houfu, I, Zhang Yue, will definitely not stand idly by, you just have to rest assured." ”

Seeing this, Hua Qian nodded: "With your words, it's enough, now that the time is almost up, I should also enter the palace to complete the last one." The emperor is only afraid to wait for me now, and he is in a hurry. ”

Hua Qian said as he smiled at Zhang Yue.

Hearing this, Zhang Yue nodded: "Then I will also say goodbye first, and I have to go to Zhongshu Province for a trip, so I won't accompany you." ”

After saying that, Zhang Yue gave up his hand, Hua Qian sent him all the way to the door, then turned back and changed his clothes, and then rushed to the palace with a sad face.

Ruizong had been sitting in the inner hall waiting for Hua Gan to come in, and just now Father-in-law Wan came back and said that after Hua Gan received the edict, his face was almost wrinkled. In his heart, he was happy, and this Hua Qian seemed to have really been calculated, so he was in a good mood and ordered someone to recruit Wei Anshi into the palace to play chess.

When he heard the report of the internal affairs supervisor Jin Guogong asking to see him, he couldn't help but smile and put down the chess pieces in his hand, and said to Wei Anshi: "This Zhang Yue, he really got it!" ”
