Chapter Twenty-Nine: Returning with a Great Victory
Chapter 30: Returning with a Great Victory
"Hmph! There are no brothers in the court, only the importance of the country, before we were each our master, I don't know how to prove that you are dedicated to the Xiao country. ”
Prime Minister Chen's words were righteous and righteous, but they made Yuan Songziguo's statement irrefutable.
The officials of the state of Xiao can make inferences of guilt against them, which is very reasonable.
"I wonder if Chen Zai remembers what the teacher said?" asked Liu Zai.
"Don't take the master as a trap, the king of heaven and earth is the teacher, the king is in front, and the master is behind!" Prime Minister Chen's every sentence can be regarded as a sign of righteousness, and the officials of the Xiao State are even more arrogant, and although the officials of the Song Zi Kingdom are more numerous, their hearts are already shorter than the officials of the Xiao State.
"Hehe, before we left the academy, the master asked us a question, do we live for the king, or live for the people of the world, I remember that our senior brothers answered in unison that they live for the people.
However, the senior brother said wildly that he would add a people in the middle in front of the prince of heaven and earth, and this people should be put after heaven and earth, before the king, and the senior brother said that this people is the people of the grass people, the people of the untouchables, the people of the people, and the people of the people.
So why should I do things for the sake of the people of Songzi Country!"
Prime Minister Liu directly blocked Prime Minister Chen in one sentence, this sentence was what he said before, and Shizun said that he hoped that he could remember what he said today.
Nearly twenty years have passed, and he has forgotten it, but Senior Brother Liu has written it down.
Xiao Ran listened to the argument between the two brothers on the throne with interest.
"It's so good to eat melons!" Xiao Ran thought.
Prime Minister Chen couldn't speak for a long time, and seemed to be in deep thought, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Xiao Ran didn't speak, but as time passed slowly, Prime Minister Chen's face was flushed, his breath fluctuated, and his righteous aura was like the ebb and flow of the sea.
"This is about to break through!" Xiao Ran saw it, and knew that this Prime Minister Chen was about to break through, in his perception, this cultivator who had always been in the realm of peace, the three realms of Confucianism, enlightenment, peace, and life.
The cultivation of a prime minister is indeed a little low, but now, this Chen Zai seems to be about to reach the realm of life.
In the end, the heroic righteousness of the whole body surged above the court, until Chen Zai finally collected all the breath and returned it to himself.
"I have been an official for nearly 20 years, and now I know my mission, and I am a waste of time, I am not as good as my senior brother!"
Chen Zai performed a Confucian etiquette to Prime Minister Liu, rather than a courtesy between officials, which represented Chen Zai's recognition of Liu Zai.
It's just that Prime Minister Liu didn't speak. He himself is a Confucian cultivator in the realm of destiny, so he naturally knows the reason why his junior disciple has not made an inch of progress in the past twenty years.
Although Songzi Guo was defeated, it was not the reason for him, the prime minister, and the victory of Xiao Guo was not the credit of his junior brother.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister believes that in order to solve the remaining problems of Songzi State, the original Songzi State should be mixed with the local officials of the Xiao State, and some of the former Songzi State officials should be placed in the local area of the Xiao State and even the imperial court, and they should be examined according to the same standards! However, Prime Minister Liu can no longer be the prime minister, and he should be dismissed from his official position!"
Prime Minister Chen first thanked Liu Zai for his help, and then took a step back, and was willing to accept the courtiers of the former Songzi Kingdom, which was already a big concession, after all, it was designed to benefit many officials of the Xiao State.
However, the dismissal of Liu Zai did make the officials of the former Songzi Kingdom angry.
"It's unbelievable!"
"Thanks to Liu Zai's kind words and persuasion!"
......
The courtiers of the former Songzi Kingdom pointed fingers at Prime Minister Chen.
However, Prime Minister Chen's face was indifferent, and he didn't feel that he was a villain, after all, two prime ministers of one country would lead to poor government decrees, and it would also cause officials of the two countries to form gangs.
In the end, it is estimated that there will be a localist faction and a non-local faction. Party strife will most consume national strength.
When Liu Zai heard this, his face was gloomy, he knew that in one day, the officials of the two countries might not be able to integrate, he was the head of the hundred officials of Songzi Country, and he had absolute appeal.
This minister's rebellion, although he did not personally participate, but it is inseparable from his acquiescence, he has already committed treason once, presumably the prince and the emperor will not tolerate him.
"Chen Zai's words are serious, the two Zaizhi are from the same family and have rich experience in governing the country, but the Xiao Kingdom is in ruins, and the two Zaizhi are both important treasures of the Xiao State!
Xiao Ran used the tone of those old leaders in his previous life, and the mud, anyway, he was like seeing the chaos in the court, although the two senior brothers were from the same family, it was obvious that the two of them couldn't get used to each other.
is the same as the ruler, who will obey whom.
Prime Minister Chen understood in his heart when he heard that the prince was young, but the emperor's mental skills already had a bit of the meaning of Emperor Xiao, and the emperor liked to use the art of checks and balances, so even if Liu Zai couldn't be the prime minister, at least he was the first person under the prime minister.
Liu Zai hurriedly knelt down: "The minister kneels and thanks His Highness for his support!"
Liu Zai also sighed in his heart that this young prince was familiar with political affairs, but he was very grateful to the prince, if it weren't for the prince, he would really become an amateur today.
Anyway, the two prime ministers glanced at Xiao Rangao, those who can fight may not necessarily understand politics, but Xiao Ran obviously understands, and there are already signs of surpassing Emperor Xiao.
Xiao Ran didn't know that his ministers were already a scheming prince in their hearts, and they were still happy for their wit.
The affairs of Songzi Kingdom were almost arranged, and Xiao Ran took some of the officials and princesses and concubines of Songzi Kingdom to talk to the princess and went towards the imperial city of Xiao Kingdom.
......
On the top of the mountain of Baifeng Academy, a woman in a skirt listened carefully to Dean Qin's story of what she had seen.
"You said, Xiao Ran still wants Liu Dehuan to be the governor of politics!" said the woman in the skirt in surprise, but there was no disapproval in her eyes, but a little appreciation.
"Yes, teacher, Xiao Ran not only did not treat the royal family of Songzi Country badly, but also planned to be important officials of Songzi Country!"
Dean Qin said respectfully.
"It's a bit of an emperor!" The words of the woman in the skirt made Dean Qin's face change, there are hundreds of emperors in the world, but I have never heard that the emperor is looked at by the teacher before.
However, a prince of Xiao Kingdom was praised by the teacher, so Dean Qin looked up to Xiao Ran a little more in his heart, and being able to get the teacher's praise was also a blessing for the emperor, not to mention that he was still a prince.
After more than a month of trekking, Xiao Ran's team finally approached the imperial city of Xiao again.
The old emperor came to the city gate early to wait, and everyone around him could feel that the old emperor was in a very good mood today.
And Xiao Ran's three elder brothers have sad faces, these are ironclad they can't touch the throne, Xiao Ran took the entire Songzi country, and nearly doubled the state of Xiao country, what a merit, the three of them are absolutely impossible.
