Chapter 180: To Each His Heart
readx;? The court meeting dispersed, the emperor returned to the palace, and the ministers retreated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The subordinates who are usually good friends naturally walked together and discussed what happened at the court meeting just now.
For them, it was not that this result was unacceptable, but why the emperor's attitude had changed so much.
People who are accustomed to commanding and commanding cannot get the emperor's approval, which first shows that the emperor wants to take back the decision-making power of the court, and it is no longer anyone's word.
Naturally, this kind of change is not acceptable to them.
Liang Shicheng walked a few steps, caught up with Wang Hao in front, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang stays." ”
Wang Hao was figuring out what the emperor meant, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it was Liang Shicheng, so he replied: "Is there something wrong with Lord Taifu?"
Liang Shicheng smiled and said, "I ...... at the court meeting just now."
Wang Hao waved his hand again and again, signaling that he didn't need to explain, and said: "It means that the old man understands that it is better for a eunuch to pick himself clean, otherwise it will not be good for you or me, but you often serve around the saint, I don't know what big moves the saint has made recently, why is there something wrong with our majesty?"
Liang Shicheng confused his eyes and thought for a while and said: "The saint is still the saint, but the recent cultivation has not been able to be saved, some can't think about it, the temper may be a little weird, don't care about it, I heard that a new Taoist priest has come, he is a capable person, presumably it won't be long before His Majesty will start his cultivation again, when the time comes, this court is still ours, isn't it?"
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.
However, there is one thing that Wang Hao still can't figure out, that is, he is now the prime minister, but most of the opinions, the emperor still adopts Cai Jing's opinion, I don't know what hints there are, or rather, it is simply to divide them, let them hold grudges against each other in private, and then achieve some kind of balance.
If this is the case, then it is terrible, this is simply the emperor playing with power, and it has nothing to do with whose opinion is adopted.
His Majesty wants to keep the male of Chang'an County, which is to increase the third factor between them, so that his position will be more solid, and if he wants to do something in the position of prime minister, I am afraid it is not such a simple thing.
figured out the reason, and was happy in his heart, so he invited Liang Shicheng to his home as a guest, of course, through the back door, so that no one could see what had anything to do with them.
Here Li Gang went down to the dynasty and walked with Li Ruoshui, there are fewer and fewer ministers who are loyal to them, and where there are few people, it indicates that where the people are loyal ministers.
Everyone else is busy echoing the new prime minister's new position, where can they care about anything else?
"Alas, you and I are old, not to mention the influence, and the prime minister who has retired from the family is surrounded by water, and only the two of us are alone, and no one cares. ”
Li Ruoshui didn't know whether it was sarcasm or envy.
Li Gang shook his head and said, "The old man has some rice wine at home, how about drinking it together?"
This was exactly what Li Ruoshui wanted, and he quickly nodded and said yes.
The two walked to Li Gang's house, it was not too big, and the luxury was not to be talked about, and the things in the water pavilion were not to be talked about.
It's such a place that it seems quiet, and the two of them drink some wine and eat some dishes, which is very comfortable.
"There's something wrong with the emperor, do you see it?"
When I go home, I naturally don't need to be as restrained as outside, just say whatever I want, and don't pay attention to the choice of words, just say it casually.
Li Gang drank the wine in the cup and said: "It's a little different, this is a blessing for the court, according to the old man, that kid is good, he does things eclecticly, dares to act, is not afraid of power, is a talent, the saint can have such an awareness, it is not easy, you must know that it is not easy to produce a famous general in the Great Song Dynasty, especially a famous general who can affect the battle situation, then there are only a handful, the old man sees that this kid meets all the conditions."
Although we are literati and we must safeguard the rights of literati, but the court is in difficulty, these false names can be put aside for the time being, and we must protect this seedling for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise it is easy for people to strangle. ”
Li Ruoshui felt the same way, and said: "Young people are all stinky tempers, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth at every turn, if this is the case, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to keep it." ”
"Hehe, you're wrong, looking at this kid's style of doing things, he must not be the kind of brainless, he knows that his credit is too great, and he can't enjoy it, so he killed Zhu Mian in front of the whole world, which made him angry, and also gave Yushi the opportunity to impeach him.
This is very smart, if you don't make any mistakes, when the time comes, how should you reward the victory? The privy envoy is a little young, and his merits are not enough, not to mention, he has just been awarded the title of county man, and there are whispers from the government and the opposition, if the promotion is too fast, it is not necessarily a good thing.
So, this kid still has brains, not the kind of Ma Daha you said, otherwise he wouldn't have led an army at a young age, and he would have won consecutive victories, such a person, throughout the Great Song Dynasty, how many have you seen?"
Li Gang's words made Li Ruoshui fall into deep thought, isn't this the truth? This kid is not an ordinary chicken thief.
Seeing that Li Ruoshui was a little surprised, Li Gang poured him a glass of wine and said: "The minister sent a letter saying that this kid seems to have known that the Holy Lord was going to send his family to Tokyo, and when he left, he settled down at home and said that if the court wants them to move, don't have any resistance, just follow along, do you think such a person will be a stupid pig with no brains? According to the old man, he is a demon who has come to bring disaster to the world." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, just as the old wife came to serve the food, and said: "Is there really such an unpredictable prophet in this world?
The two laughed even harder.
The old wife asked puzzledly: "What are you laughing at, the old body is serious!"
"There is such a person by the side of the saint today, named Zhang Xubai, you go and ask him, and promise to tell you everything, maybe people can calculate your hundred years for you. ”
The old wife felt that her old man was joking with herself, and said, "Isn't that Taoist priest just a liar? ”
"You know that we are joking again, and we have to ask, where are the uncertain prophets in this world, they are all deceitful, even if they have this ability, they are also based on the facts, guess what may happen, this is called wisdom, also called erudition, don't talk if you don't understand, just cook your meal, the dishes are a little salty these days, and the cooking skills are a little regressive. ”
When the old wife saw that there was a guest, she didn't care about him as usual, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and get it again for you." ”
After finishing speaking, he picked up the dishes he had just brought up and returned to the kitchen in the back hall.
"My old wife, I miss my children, I am a little stunned, and I always want to let people tell fortunes to see when the children will come back. ”
Li Gang also seemed to be very depressed, and drank two glasses of wine in a row, but the dishes on the table did not move.
"It's all for the court, for this family, to be honest, our kindness is a little too much, let those traitors ride on their necks, act arbitrarily, we are important ministers of the court, but our children can't be filial piety by our side, which itself violates the ethics of the program, but it echoes the laws of the court, this is the contradiction of Chiguoguo, there is no way to change it, that court is always bigger than our family, and this should be what it means to be loyal, right?"
"Who says it's not? But the Holy One has given us hope, as long as it changes, it will bring a new atmosphere, this is the gospel of the Great Song Dynasty, we should applaud it!"
The two chatted happily, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng were also more speculative, at this time, a jar of wine had already been eaten, and the face and ears were red when they drank, and there was no door on their mouths.
"Lord Wang, it's not for you to blow, the new Taoist priest these days is actually a talent recruited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the people, and he is placed next to the saint, just to blow the wind in his ears, and also to completely tie the current saint to the ship of Chengxian and can't get down, then, this throne will naturally be conceded in advance, His Royal Highness the prince can't wait to take the throne in a hurry, do we have to choose the right one?"
Wang Hao blushed, unable to see his expression, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful to speak, be careful that the wall has ears!"
Liang Shicheng felt that Wang Hao was a little timid, and he had to be careful when he spoke in his own mansion, was there any royal law in the Great Song Dynasty? He said with a smile: "It's okay, even Your Majesty also allows the people below to do this, just to create a scene for the crown prince to ascend the throne, otherwise it will be difficult for the new monarch to ascend the throne, it will be difficult to carry out the work, why do you think the saint should suddenly change his attitude?" It is intended to tell everyone that the Great Song Dynasty belongs to the Zhao family, and it is not your turn to command, in this way, the new emperor will ascend the throne, it will be logical, I am afraid that Wu Xi is a good candidate for the crown prince, and the saint is just a favor. ”
Wang Hao said: "You say so, the old man is stunned, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder the saint is weird, it turns out that he has the intention to abdicate, or good, he has been the emperor for so many years, and the people's grievances are boiling, and he is the only one." ”
"That's right, so are we courting the prince?"
Wang Hao waved his hand and said: "Don't use it first, the old man always feels that things are not so simple, King Kang's activities seem to be very frequent recently, and it must have something to do with this matter, let's wait and see." ”
Knowing the holy will, all the problems were solved, and the heart was happy, so he let the next person serve a jar of wine.
"King Kang is also interested in the throne?"
Liang Shicheng was shocked, he had just heard about this matter, you must know that he was just a concubine, even if he took his turn, it would not be his turn, what qualifications and advantages did he have to fight for power?
"In this way, the royal family will have a good show, and as courtiers, we can't help it!"
"Yes, but no matter who is in power, Wu Xi must be eliminated, this person is very thoughtful, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you and me, it can be seen from the fact that he killed Zhu Mian. ”
Liang Shicheng laughed and said, "It's good to wrap it up on me, there are just some entanglements that need to be dealt with, Lord Wang, you just wait to watch the show!"
