85. Persuade Yang Dong
Zhao Mengqi came to Yang Dong's office, left Chang Geng and the others at the door, and only took Huang Gong in.
Entering the door, this public house is not big, it is also a square to see the square, the furnishings are also very simple, a large case is full of official documents, a little spread out in the middle, a little messy, the brush on the pen holder is still condensed with ink droplets.
On the three walls, there are cabinets that are all leaning on a person's height, all of them are locked, and they want to put documents and the like, and there are no books, calligraphy, paintings, and literary decorations, which is somewhat unexpected by Zhao Mengqi.
The elegance of the Great Song Dynasty can be seen everywhere, but Yang Dong, a well-known person, has such a 'shabby' public house.
After Yang Dong came in, he carried a copper kettle and prepared to pour tea, "The ministers here are all words and paper, it is inconvenient to make a fire, only a big pot is used to boil the tea, it is very coarse, the taste can not be exquisite, just quench your thirst, but it is Your Highness Jian Slow." ”
Huang Zhi immediately stepped forward to take the teapot, "Don't dare Mr. Lao, let the little one come to this kind of work." ”
Yang Dong and Huang Zhu were also familiar with each other, so they handed it to him with a smile.
The two teachers and students sat opposite each other in the small case, and Yang Dong sighed, "Your Highness, you are too reckless in the matter of the Qian family. ”
This teacher is really outspoken, and opening his mouth is a lesson, but Zhao Mengqi is not disgusted, and smiled apologetically, "The student's behavior Meng Lang makes the teacher worried, but the teacher doesn't have to worry about it, the student actually knows it." ”
"How is this an overwhelming?" Yang Dong thought that Zhao Mengqi was not aware of his situation, and his tone was a little anxious, "Your Highness, you know that the government and the opposition are in an uproar now, and there is a lot of criticism of you, that's it, if it weren't for the fact that the officials have not been in the court these days, I'm afraid the ministers have already attacked you in groups, as far as the ministers know, not only is the Yushitai in tandem, but even Xie Xiang's actions are not small, and now Yan Guifei is pregnant again, Your Highness, your just stable storage position has become precarious again!" ”
Yang Dong's anxious appearance made Zhao Mengqi feel genuinely concerned, his heart warmed, and he opened his mouth to comfort, "What the teacher said, in fact, the students know that things are not as bad as the teacher thinks. ”
"Oh? What does this mean? ”
"Teacher, look, have you seen the Qian family move?"
"That's not because you're holding on... No, it's a pair of children of the Qian family who are by your side, so they are naturally a bogeyman. ”
"Haha, teacher, you want to say that students kidnap tickets, this is just an illusion, a wealthy family like the Qian family, if you really want to do something, where will you care about the life or death of one or two children, besides, I am a dignified son, can I really make that act of tearing up the ticket?"
"That'...... What does Your Highness mean that you really reached a settlement with the Qian family? Call... That's good, as long as the owner doesn't make a fuss, there is still room for turning around at this time. ”
"Hehe, in fact, it's more than that, the Qian family should be regarded as an alliance of students, although in the style of the family, it may not be very reliable, but before I completely fall into a desperate situation, they dare not regret it."
Hearing this, Yang Dong couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and asked suspiciously, "In that case, why don't you let the Qian family speak early?" It stands to reason that after the turmoil of the election of the reserve, His Royal Highness's position has been consolidated, and the rest only need to follow the steps step by step, and slowly raise hope and accumulate talents. With His Royal Highness's current intelligence and knowledge, even if Yan Guifei gives birth to a dragon son, she will not be able to compete with His Royal Highness, and when His Royal Highness successfully ascends the throne and then shows his ambitions, he will definitely be the king of Zhongxing in my Great Song Dynasty. But now that His Highness has put himself in danger, what do you want? ”
"Time is running out!" Zhao Mengqi picked up the teacup and drank all the coarse tea in one gulp, "Teacher, my Great Song Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, where can I withstand the ruin, the Mongolians are like wolves and tigers, and the heart of encroaching on the world is extremely fierce, if we don't make changes early, I'm afraid that the country will not be far away." Now the central government is flooded, people are floating in things, all of them only think about the peace and quiet, thinking that a Huai River, a Yangtze River can stop the iron hooves of foreign races, but they don't want to think about it, the Mongols have never stopped the pace of conquest since the establishment of the country, they are different from the Jin people, as long as there is a visible place in the world that is not under their rule, they will not let go of Nanshan for a day. So, even if I can't be in power now, I don't want too many voices of opposition to affect my reforms! And this time, it's my attempt to sweep away Shen Ke! ”
Yang Dong was stunned for a long time, and after digesting Zhao Mengqi's words, he realized that this highness clearly planned to lead the tiger out of the mountain, and then eradicate dissidents in one fell swoop!
What is the difference between an heir to the throne doing this and grabbing power, it can even be said to be a big rebellion!
From the perspective of a courtier, Yang Dong should resolutely oppose this practice and maintain the rules of the imperial court, but the mortal threat of the Mongols that Zhao Mengqi said really hit his heart, making him a little confused for a while, and he didn't know how to evaluate Zhao Mengqi's approach.
Huang Ji filled a cup of tea for Zhao Mengqi again, and Zhao Mengqi took another sip, "Actually, the last time the prince was also an attempt by me, my original intention was to use fraud to set off a big case and clean the court from the inside out, but unfortunately, my father is old after all, and I regret it when it comes to the end, since I can't rely on him, then this time I will come by myself!" ”
Yang Dong was extremely frightened after hearing this, and he broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that his student suddenly became so deep and terrifying, and his methods were so cruel.
If it really went according to his idea last time, then few of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would be good, and I am afraid that it would be a river of blood!
"Your Highness! In this way, this big Song Ke will be in chaos! If the center is swept away, who else will rule the world for the Great Song Dynasty!? Your Highness! The minister knows that you have the ambition of Zhongxing, and you are excited, but this ruling a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't be impatient, this court has many shortcomings, but it should be slowly planned, not completely broken! ”
Yang Dong bitterly admonished, he definitely didn't want the imperial court to fall into that kind of uncontrollable future, it was simply a big gamble, with the Great Song Dynasty as a bet, a game of life and death, although there was a chance to win, but he thought it was very small, and it was more likely that the Great Song Dynasty was torn apart and collapsed!
This highness's gambling nature is too big, too terrible!
"If you don't break it, you can't stand it! Break and stand! Zhao Mengqi's tone was light, but extremely resolute, and then sighed lightly, "Of course, I also thought about it afterwards, this approach is indeed too dangerous, not to mention that without the full support of my father, it is impossible to achieve, and I can't really make a big rebellion, after all, I don't have the capital like Li Shimin." ”
Yang Dong was shocked, this student is afraid that he is crazy, he can talk nonsense!?
Seeing Zhao Mengqi continue, "Since I can't break and then stand, then I can only retreat and stand up while breaking!" So don't worry about the teacher, there will be no uncontrollable consequences this time, but I need the teacher's help. ”
Yang Dong was silent, thinking for a long time, and Zhao Mengqi didn't urge, just slowly tasted the 'coarse tea' one bite at a time.
In fact, it is not really coarse tea, the benefits given to officials in the Great Song Dynasty have always been generous, and the supply to ministers is naturally high-quality tea, but in order to save trouble and convenience, Yang Dong chose to brew leaf tea that had just begun to appear, which was the common drinking method in later generations.
The tea is still produced in Longjing, so it is very in line with Zhao Mengqi's taste.
It wasn't until Zhao Mengqi finished drinking two more cups of tea that Yang Dong came out of his thoughts, his eyes seemed to become dry, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, isn't there any other more secure way?" ”
Seeing that Yang Dong was still struggling, Zhao Mengqi sighed, "Maybe there is, but I think this is the fastest and most suitable method for me right now, teacher, for the sake of the Han family, why not try it?" ”
"Whew...... Well, what does Your Highness need to do? In the end, Yang Dong could only choose to support his students.
"Huang You, you go out first, and promise that no one is allowed to approach!"
Zhao Mengqi sent Huang Gong out, and then discussed with Yang Dong for a long time.
With the in-depth understanding, Yang Dong became more and more frightened by Zhao Mengqi's layout, not how subtle it was, but full of uncertainty everywhere, to put it bluntly, he was gambling all the way!
But he also understands that with the power in Zhao Mengqi's hands now, it can only be so, and what he can do is to try to help this student improve the winning rate a little.
In the end, Zhao Mengqi said, "Seeking things is in people, and success is in heaven, maybe I may not be able to win this time, but I will not lose, at most I will find another way." ”
Yang Dong glanced at him deeply, and vaguely felt that what he said about finding another way was not a serious way, "I hope it can be done this time." ”
"By the way, this time, I have to trouble the teacher to do a little favor, which can be regarded as a cover for my trip."
"What?"
"I want to recruit Fang Lu, the right army inspector of the original army patrol court, and let him be the loyal king's mansion Yishan, and then promote Mo Chun, the right army inspector, to the army patrol envoy."
Yang Dong thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed, "The official document can be issued tomorrow morning, and the formal process can be completed within two days." ”
"Then thank you, teacher." Zhao Mengqi is very satisfied with this result.
Yang Dong smiled slightly bitterly, "Compared to those, this is just a trivial matter. ”
After the matter was discussed, Yang Dong sent Zhao Mengqi all the way to the entrance of the official department, and just as Zhao Mengqi was about to get into the carriage, Xiao Geng mustered up the courage to shout, "Noble, wait a minute." ”
Zhao Mengqi turned his head and looked at the second stunned man with interest, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Nobleman, you just asked the little one to follow you, are you still counting now?"
"Figured it out?"
"Yes, the little one is willing to follow the nobleman."
Zhao Mengqi smiled, it is estimated that this kid knows his identity, but there is nothing to care about, after all, it is just a whim, "Okay, you will follow me in the future." ”
Then he turned to Yang Dong and said, "Teacher, this shouldn't be a big problem." ”
Yang Dong waved his hand, "You just take the people away, arrange the place, and let the people do the handover." ”
The carriage started, and there was a newly harvested trash fish in the team.
Liu Yashi leaned on the door and looked at Xiao Geng's distant figure, muttering to himself, "Silly boy, the opportunity has finally been caught, whether you can fly in the future depends on your creation, Lao Geng, Lao Geng, Lao Tzu will live up to your brother for so many years......"
