When Zhao Shi saw the post, he had already sat down with Cheng Luan in the flower hall of the back house......

Li Shixiong, speaking of which, the son of the monk of the household, from a small household official, has come all the way to today's point, and the promotion does not seem to be fast, but it is down-to-earth and smooth.

Moreover, Li Shixiong's experience in these positions is not abundant, except for the Criminal Department, he has stayed in the six ministries, and he has also served as a waiter in the East Palace, and has formed some friendship with His Majesty today.

With qualifications and help, there is nothing lacking except for no foreign experience and some lack of political achievements.

In the eyes of some people, this is obviously the number of soaring roads, but the smarter ones can see that Li Shixiong's age is there, and if he wants to go up, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

Zhao Shi looked at the post, thought about it, and then ordered: "Take the guests to meet the old lady, let the second lady set up a banquet to entertain, and then call Nan Changshi, Mr. Li to accompany him, don't slack off......"

What he considered was that Li Shixiong was not young, and he was cautious, if the situation was turbulent today, the Great Qin Dynasty was not stable, so it was better not to let the son of the old man get involved.

Of course, the premise of this is that no one in the court knows the relationship between Li Shixiong and the general Zhao Shi.

It is impossible to hide such a relationship from someone with a heart, such as today's Majesty, but no one knows that Li Shixiong, who is quite honest and has a very good popularity, has such an Austrian aid.

Cheng Luan guessed in his heart there that the person who came must be Zhang Shijie from Yushitai, but he heard about it. Zhang Shijie seems to be ...... Because of the death of his father. Went back to his hometown and mourned......

Good for the family. People from the Li family? Or is someone from the Zhang family in the northwest entering Beijing?

He speculated wildly here, but he would never have thought of Li Shixiong, who was about to be promoted to the Ministry of Works.

To say that Li Shixiong's step is a bit big, but the imperial court is at the time of employing people, he is an old man in the East Palace, and with the support of the general Zhao Shi, the Ministry of Industry is also suffering. But it is also a very hard yamen, so this step is also very logical......

Although he was a little curious, he saw that Zhao Shi did not mean to call people here to entertain, so he naturally did not ask, there are many guests in the Dingjun Marquis Mansion now.

When he came, the carriages and horses outside the palace gate were also seen, recalling that when Emperor Jing was in the first dynasty, the courtiers were trembling, in front of the various mansions. Most of them are deserted, and now a few years have passed. But he has changed, and he can really be said to be a son of heaven and a courtier.

This change in the government and the opposition, no one can say it, but think about it, most of them are waiting for these subordinates, most of them are just asking for a wealth and honor, if they live all day long, in fact, it doesn't mean much, I think when he was in the military department, didn't he repeatedly ask for a term of release, so as to stay away from the idea of the government and the opposition disputes?

It's just that in the end, it's all pressed down......

He was thoughtful here, the wine and food had soon come up, the flower hall was not small, only three people sat opposite each other, it seemed a little empty, but as Zhao Shi said, the back house of the Dingjun Marquis Mansion was very clean, although there were many people who came to see today, but few could see the general himself.

Waiting for the servants to go down, Zhao Shi immediately raised his glass, "Lord Cheng, the last time we sat down and drank together, it should have happened many years ago in the Yulin Left Guard Camp, right?" ”

Cheng Luan nodded and said with a smile: "The general remembers well, the lower official entered the left guard camp in Yulin at that time, looked at the left guard all over the world, and talked with the general, and it was determined that the general will not be in the pool in the future, but now it seems that the general is still the little one in the general......

Zhao Shi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Over the years, Lord Cheng has been in the Ministry of War, and he has helped him many times, and I remember it in my heart, but I can drink and talk with Lord Cheng today, which is really a little emotional...... Come, drink this cup together, even if I make amends to adulthood? ”

Cheng Luan hurriedly raised his glass with both hands and said humbly: "The lower officials don't dare, these years, if there is no general, the lower officials may not be what it looks like, this cup should be the lower officials respecting the generals." ”

After a glass of wine, I ate a little bit of food......

Cheng Luan settled down, and finally opened his mouth to get to the point, "Forgive the presumptuousness of the official, now that the general has returned to Beijing, the government and the opposition are paying attention, but I don't know, what is the general's plan?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Shi immediately knew that the main topic was coming, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "What do you say about Lord Cheng?" ”

Cheng Luan stroked his beard, thinking about the wording, it should have been better to talk about this when the wine has passed three rounds and the food has passed the five flavors, but since he entered the mansion, the prayers have come one after another, and the conversation has always been interrupted, but it is not good to wait, who knows who will come?

After a while, Cheng Luan arched his hand and said: "Forgive the official's bluntness, with the status and power of the general today, it is completely different from the past, it goes without saying in the army, these years the general has fought in the south and the north, and the merits are unmatched, and the prestige in the army is also incomparable, but it is ...... in the court."

Cheng Luan shook his head slightly, and continued: "The lower official knows that the general and His Majesty have known each other since childhood, and their affection is extraordinary, but the general has been fighting all year round, and it is inevitable that there will be villains who are jealous and jealous, and plot against it, Wang Hanqing's matter is a lesson from the past, and it is impossible not to guard against ......it."

"It is true that with the current status of the general, one or two slanders will not be harmed by the general, but in the long run, if no one often speaks up for the general in front of His Majesty, he will always leave a mustard in His Majesty's heart, and this mustard is too much...... It is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"The subordinate sincerely seeks for the general, and if there is any inappropriate speech, I hope the general will forgive the sin."

Zhao Shi listened very seriously, in fact, such a shortcoming was the tail left by Jingxing, at that time, the generals in the army, no matter who they were, were very taboo to make friends with courtiers.

Therefore, in addition to the wealthy families like the two families, not only he Zhao Shi, but also others such as Wang Pei, Zhang Peixian and others do not even have much room to speak in the court.

Speaking of which, he is even better, before Li Yanchu, and then there is a kind of subordinate, in the Privy Council, news exchanges, and he can open his eyes a little.

At that time, Emperor Jingxing was bent on letting the generals not rely on the left and right, and whoever came out had to suppress it, at the beginning, it was not wrong, but later, it had reached the point of extremeism, and the temperament of great joy was also revealed.

In this way, I want people to work, and I don't feed people, but I rebuild the palace and choose beautiful women, just ask, how can there be so many pure ministers in this world? Therefore, when the foundation of Daqin was thriving, it was hit by a counterattack, at that time, the Zhe family was hidden behind it, Wang Pei took refuge in the Wang family, and Zhao Shi himself connected the Zhang family and the seed family in the northwest.

Under the collision, it almost made the sky fall apart, it seems, it is no different from rebellion, in fact, in the final analysis, it was all forced by Emperor Jingxing.

Therefore, the court is in charge, and in the end, it is necessary to talk about a sense of proportion, and the truth that things must be reversed is also applicable here.

What Cheng Luan said is very reasonable, and it is not a real insight, many people can see this, whether it is Zhao Shi himself or the staff in the Dingjun Marquis' Mansion, they have discussed this matter many times.

It's just that this is not easy, although this time is different from the past, but making friends with courtiers and connecting into a party is not a one-time thing, let alone blatant, it is an authentic long-term effort.

Especially like Zhao Shi, he is not liked by the courtiers, even if there are people who take refuge, but they also have a low official position, and they just want to take advantage of the general's momentum.

Zhao Shi himself is also away all the year round, if there is no old minister like Chong Congduan in the court, no matter how many people he becomes, it will be just a plate of loose sand, and he will leave a handle for nothing, and he will be attacked by others.

Therefore, this matter is not easy, and no matter how much you discuss it, it will not help......

Zhao Shi narrowed his eyes, and Sun Wentong next to him also put away his relaxation and sat upright.

After a while, Zhao Shicai said slowly: "What Master Cheng said is good, I am also very sincere here, but ...... It's easier said than done, and adults must have already made up their minds when they say so, so you might as well talk about it. ”

Cheng Luan immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most afraid of was not the side, but that the general had to stick to the rules, and he had the stubbornness of a martial artist, or he cared about his reputation and didn't want to get too close to the courtiers, in that case, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

And when he heard this, he was much more sure in his heart.

After holding back the excitement in his heart, he replied: "Don't hide it from the general, the lower official does have some plans here, but it may not be thorough, and if what he said is wrong, please ask the general to correct it." ”

"There are no outsiders here today, so there is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." At this time, Zhao Shi showed the heroism and straightforwardness of a martial artist.

Cheng Luan was overjoyed, and then said: "Then the lower official is better to be respectful, than to obey his fate...... The general was born in the military, whether it is public or private, it should be more important than the Privy Council, and the military department will be ......"

Zhao Shi smiled, "There is an adult in the military department, so what am I worried about?" ”

Cheng Luan choked, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The lower official is negligent in his talent, but he can't be praised by the general so much, and he doesn't dare to deceive the general, in the past few years, thanks to the blessing of the general, a little business is true, but the time is still short, there is always a feeling of being alone, but now there is an opportunity, which can make the general add a lot of help in the court, but I don't know if the general can agree......

(Ask for a monthly pass, the weather is a hot and stuffy mess, the QQ weather forecast is not accurate at all, and it was said that there was rain tomorrow at night, and the next day, it was cloudy again, I really don't know where this weather forecast came from, Acao always has a feeling of heat stroke in the past two days, very uncomfortable.)
