Chapter 114: This matter is left to Lu Xiang!
Prime Minister Lu Cheng's body was shocked, and he said with a worried face: "Queen Mother, the old minister privately thinks that this matter is not so simple. ”
Su Chengxi naturally knew that things were not so simple, because the silver grain for disaster relief in the original text was privately swallowed by corrupt officials, so the silver grain soldiers she sent out this time were divided into two routes, one open and one secret, and sent to the south for disaster relief, but the silver grain was still lost.
How does this make her not angry?
She stared at Prime Minister Lu Cheng twice with heavy eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "The household department and the Ministry of Rites must be strictly investigated, collusion between Beijing officials and local officials is not uncommon, as long as there are signs of it, all of them will be found out by the mourning family, and they will be severely punished!" ”
When Prime Minister Lu Cheng heard this, after hesitating for a long time, he said with some embarrassment: "Queen Mother, this matter is not so simple, if you want to uproot it, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
If the matter that affects the whole body is not handled properly and causes a counterattack, the gains will outweigh the losses.
It is easy to fold just over, and there is no fish in the water.
That's the reason.
Su Chengxi understood Prime Minister Lu Cheng's hint, his eyes became dark, and he was silent for a long time without speaking.
In the original text, Prime Minister Lu is undoubtedly the embodiment of wisdom, after the male protagonist appeared to show his identity, although he was shocked, but after determining the identity of the male protagonist, he immediately returned to the male protagonist with the current situation, which can be called a think tank.
is because although he is conformist on the surface, he is not inflexible, he understands people's hearts very well, and he also understands the operation of the court.
Sometimes it's slippery like a loach.
He cherishes the people of the world and is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but he is more loyal to his ideals and ambitions.
If you want him to stand on her and her son's side, you must give enough sincerity and free play, and trust and respect are essential.
Su Chengxi is not extremely smart, and her scheming and scheming may be 108,000 miles behind Prime Minister Lu, but it doesn't matter, she just listens to persuasion. What she can't accomplish, she can leave to someone who can do it.
As a superior, it is enough for her to give encouragement, praise and affirmation.
"Then in Lord Lu's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Su Chengxi took his son's little hand and invited people into the imperial study, politely asked the palace people to prepare hot tea and pastries, and said very sincerely: "You also know that the mourning family is just a woman's family, and they are not good at handling political affairs. As soon as they heard that someone dared to embezzle the silver and grain for disaster relief or colluded with officials and bandits, the mourning family was anxious, and it was inevitable that they could not make up their minds. Lu Xiang, you have been an official in the court for many years, high and powerful, wise and brave, the first emperor often said to the mourning family that you can have you, it is the blessing of Yunsheng, and the mourning family deeply feels it. And this matter is very involved, except for you, the mourning family thinks that no one can handle it properly. I also ask Lu Xiangneng to take over this matter, fight against corrupt officials and corrupt officials for my Yunsheng Dynasty, and return the people to Haiyan River! ”
Su Chengxi stood up and bowed deeply to Prime Minister Lu.
First show weakness, then give praise, and finally clearly affirm the other party, which will definitely move people's hearts.
Sure enough, the results were perfect.
Prime Minister Lu hurriedly stood up, avoided Su Chengxi's movements, and said with a moved face: "Queen Mother, what are you doing?" As a Yunsheng official, it is the duty of the old minister to serve the country and the people, and the Queen Mother hurry up! How can you stand it? ”
Su Chengxi sighed lightly and stood up, his eyes were firm, his expression was sincere, and he pleaded: "Lu Xiang, the mourning family doesn't know strategy, doesn't know how to govern the country, and doesn't know how to investigate and judge cases, so this matter can only be handed over to you to be responsible." The mourning family believes that you will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the people of the world and the victims of the disaster in the south, and you will definitely be able to recover the lost silver and grain, and punish the corrupt officials and corrupt officials. All your contributions to the Yunsheng Dynasty will be seen by the mourning family, and the people of the world will also be remembered in their hearts. ”
Su Chengxi's serial punches made it difficult for Prime Minister Lu Cheng to refuse.
Perhaps, from the beginning, he had no intention of refusing to resign.
