Chapter 92: Class Contradictions
In fact, when Elfang was under Zhao Yun, he had always stayed in the city as a deputy general. In addition to the Le'an army rushing to the city, when the situation is in crisis, Elfang will make a move.
The raid on Sun Ru's three battalions was the first time that Elfang went out with the army. Unexpectedly, Elfang died on the battlefield in the first battle. Because of Elfang's special identity, this incident also made Zhao Yun regret it a lot. Knowing this, he would not let Elfang leave Le'an City for a single step.
In fact, in addition to the funding of the Elk family itself, only based on the credit of Elfang alone, not to mention Wang Yanzhang, who repelled the thieves and swept away Xiliang at the time of crisis, Chai Cun, Dong Run, Zhou Cang, Qi Guoyuan, Wang Yanlong and others are not much worse than him. However, in this case, Zhang Shuo still posthumously named Elfang as the 11th rank right lord, which is enough to show the importance of the Elk family.
At this time, Lu Zhu asked him about Lu Fang's performance in the army, and Zhao Yun, who was delicate, naturally understood what to say.
Sure enough, hearing Zhao Yun's answer, Lu Zhu, who had a sad and sad face, his face softened a lot, and he turned to Zhang Shuo and said:
"I don't want a title, I just want to set up an ancestral hall for my deceased brother, and warn the descendants of my elk family to learn from their ancestors, serve the country loyally, and die. I hope that the monarch can erect a ancestral plaque for my disciples! ”
"Monarch, the minister has something to say!" As soon as Lu Zhu's voice fell, Sima Tai, director of the Construction Division, came out to proclaim.
"Oh? What is Mr. Chen's objection? Looking at Chen Wen, whose face was angry, Zhang Shuo said with a smile.
"Monarch, it is true that this elk Fang has merits, and it is a great honor for the monarch to take the position of the right chief. However, Director Elk also delusionally thought that the monarch would personally mention words for his brother, and he was a little arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes! ”
"Monarch, the minister doesn't think so!"
As soon as Chen Wen finished speaking, Wang Anshi, director of the Shi Zhi Division, came out of the list.
"Say!"
Zhang Shuo did not stop the conflict in the court, but maintained a consistent smile and said with a pleasant face. There was a dispute in the court, which was something Zhang Shuo liked to see. If the ministers are all twisted into a knot, he will have to worry that his dragon chair will not be secure.
"Loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and bravery, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. The minister thought that Director Elk wanted the monarch to give a message to his brother, which could better show that Director Elk valued his feelings and righteousness, and was a person who could be trusted.
Moreover, Director Elk also said that he was willing to exchange for a 10th-class military merit title. This can completely show that Director Elk does not mean to be arrogant. ”
"Nonsense!"
As soon as Wang Anshi finished speaking, Zhao Lei of the Criminal Law Department couldn't wait to jump out. As a result of the various changes that have taken place within the Qianguo in recent days, the interests of these old nobles have been seriously touched. In addition, especially the frequent changes and releases of laws, it has brought a huge workload to the Criminal Law Department, so that Zhao Lei, the director of the Criminal Law Department, has always been suspicious of Wang Anshi.
Now seeing that Wang Anshi was actually speaking for a businessman in the court, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and he couldn't help but stand up.
In this regard, Wang Anshi also had bitterness and couldn't say it, although he presided over the reform of the country on the surface. But in fact, he can only be regarded as a staff officer and consultant by Zhang Shuo's side. Most of the changes were proposed by Zhang Shuo himself. Wang Anshi himself, that is, to make up for the gaps and help the other party improve some deficiencies.
"What is Zhao Qing's opinion?"
Zhang Shuo smiled, now, he still feels good about Zhao Lei. Because of the period of law change, Zhao Lei has been working diligently. Not only has the political attribute been improved by three points, but even the intelligence has been improved by one point, and the progress is obvious to all. And Zhang Shuo just likes this kind of enterprising courtier.
"Thunder and rain and dew, it is the grace of the king, and the reward and punishment of the country are determined by the king, how can there be any reason for bargaining!"
Hearing Zhang Shuo's words, Zhao Lei said indignantly. Because Zhao Lei pulled the matter to the top of the royal power this time, Lu Fang and Wang Anshi didn't dare to speak for a while.
"Director Zhao is serious. The director of the elk is a businessman. Businessmen seek profit, and their ideas are naturally different from ours. But this should not be used to accuse him of contempt of the monarchy. ”
Li Fei, director of the Arsenal Department, also stood up and said with a smile. It seems that he is speaking for Elk, but in fact, it can be seen that this is a class exclusion.
After Li Fei, several ministers came out of the ranks, although they did not say it explicitly, but they were secretly rejecting Wang Anshi and Lu Zhu.
Among them was Wu Lin, the director of the Zongzheng Division, but Xie An, who made Zhang Shuo care about the most, stood there with the old god and did not express any opinions.
"Silence! Quiet! ”
Looking at the ministers who were gossiping and arguing, Zhang Shuo finally became a little impatient, and immediately spoke out to stop the quarrel. It's just that for the next ruling, he doesn't know how to end.
Regarding the matter of monarchy, Zhang Shuo is more concerned than Zhao Lei. After dealing with government affairs these days, he also understands the importance of this thing. If he insists on making a teleprompter for Elfang now, I am afraid that it will affect his authority, and there will be more and more courtiers bargaining with him in the future. In the future, when new decrees are enacted, the resistance will be even greater.
But if you refuse Lu Zhu's request, you will inevitably make the other party feel left out. As the richest merchant in Donghai County, Lu Zhu's support was of great help to Qianguo.
"Xie Dazai, what do you think about this?"
Zhang Shuo, who didn't know how to adjudicate, finally threw this problem to Xie An after some consideration. In his opinion, he is a decision-maker, not a planner, if he needs to think of his own answer to everything, then why do he need so many auxiliary ministers?
Because of Zhang Shuo's words, everyone's eyes in the hall focused on Xie An. As a representative of the aristocratic class, Xie An's words are not only related to the decision-making of Qianguo, but also to the image of many nobles of the Xie family in Qianguo.
"Monarch, the minister thinks that Director Zhao of the Criminal Law Department is reasonable. If Director Elk's words are wrong, he should be punished according to the law! ”
Feeling the gathered gaze, Xie An still maintained an unfazed appearance, and the words he said made many of the courtiers of the Qianguo State look relaxed and happy.
However, he didn't wait for Zhang Shuo to speak, and continued: "However, Director Elk is a businessman, and he has just entered the official career, and he is not familiar with the national etiquette and law, so it is understandable that he lost his words for a while. Abandoning the knight for his brother is a great righteousness, and it should be rewarded! ”
