Chapter 68: Political Rest, Lifting the New (5)
When the prince heard this, he hurriedly ordered the people to be informed of the matter, so that they would not make any more noise; Gradually, order was restored to the hall, and everything fell silent.
The prince looked at the official letter, and felt quite lost in his heart, so he said to Ye Yongjia: "The waiter is enthusiastic, which is really admirable, but he is too anxious, and it is not a big mistake to misunderstand the innocent person." Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a false accusation, is it? ”
How dare the ministers not give the prince face, glanced at Ye Yongjia, and all bowed their heads and said: "The prince is benevolent, we will obey the order." ”
"Tinglong, you are indeed reckless in this matter," Niu Yuan also criticized him in a matter-of-fact manner, "My original intention was only to rectify the border defense, and now that I have instructed Shi Du to train the troops, the prestige of the imperial court has been greatly proclaimed, are you not satisfied?" If you really want to make great contributions, you don't have to doubt Chunchen. ”
Ye Yongjia won't trust him now, and after tirelessly listening to this verbosity, he only replied coldly: "Got it." ”
"After such a long time of turmoil, in the end it was only a false alarm, which is really a great joy for everyone. You should rest and sleep well," the prince was expressionless, as if he felt a little regret for the end of a big show, "As for the withdrawal of the border patrol team and many aftermath problems, I should tell my father and the emperor in full, and listen to the holy judgment, you should not be worried." The meeting was adjourned. ”
The ministers left separately, but Niu Yuan saw Ye Yongjia's thoughts, so he walked slowly, and only walked in front of him: "Ye Shilang, the rest of the things still need to be considered, how about sitting in my house?" ”
Ye Yongjia straightened his head and raised his eyelids slightly: "The lower officials will listen to the dispatch of the minister." ”
"I know you really want to make a contribution and complete this reform," Niu Yuan said as he poured him tea, "but the important affairs of the imperial court are not allowed to be played with." There should be a sense of proportion in doing things, and it can be considered in the long run. ”
"You ......" Ye Yongjia wanted to refute as much as possible, but he still took the words back, "You are right." ”
Niu Yuan saw that his expression was not good, so he immediately put down the teapot and said with a wry smile: "Tinglong, don't always think about yourself, you should understand the suffering of this official." Your time as an official is not short, I think you can understand that the dispute in the court is not a dispute between the people and the people, but a fight for their own interests. When our interests are found, we want to share their share. ”
"I have to distinguish you and me clearly, and now we will be called ......" Ye Yongjia felt extremely ironic.
"After all, no matter how everyone fights and calculates, they must always do things under the emperor's hands and maintain the entire court together. This is the essence of the so-called political clarity. If you seem to be bored and begging for change and offending everyone cleanly, who will control the situation for you? Attacking each other in a chaotic manner, but if there is a disconnection, the long-standing evils will be exposed in broad daylight. ”
"Then you reform ......"
Niu Yuan changed color suddenly: "The reform of the original phase does not seek urgent results, and it is enough to exercise the prestige of some provincial ministers." If it really makes a storm and storms all over the city, and makes the people of the world see our jokes, then where is the prestige of the monarch's father? Where is the dignity of the nation? Where is the face of my generation? Ye Shilang, you should also know the importance of your speech! ”
After hearing these words, Ye Yongjia thoroughly understood that this group of emerging so-called reformers was nothing more than a group of old-fashioned people who had changed their skin, except for taking a few steps outward, there was not much difference. They may be called 'Liu Dang' or 'Qingliu', and in his eyes, the two sides are like fire and water, but at this moment they are as closely united as brothers, and those who are forever isolated and unaware are only a few people.
He had never expected such a situation, since Chen Zhou entered Nanjing, everyone he saw was full of hatred for the Liu Party, how could he reconcile so easily? There are such things in the world, and it doesn't sound strange today. Party and non-party, He Zeng is two meanings.
"Your subordinates must keep ...... in mind" Ye Yongjia suddenly felt a different kind of relief in his heart, and he had no hatred for Niu Yuan.
"Lord Liu is very optimistic about you," Niu Yuan's tone softened slightly, "Your energy is indeed rare in the current dynasty." If you don't think about so many things in your head, the road to reform will still be smooth. ”
Ye Yongjia had nothing to say, and after a hasty salute, he quietly walked out of this mansion. 'Xia Renying's original words may be correct...... ' He was standing on the empty street, looking into the distance, and the road ahead was boundless, and there was no end in sight.
The emperor consulted Liu Zhennian and officially issued an edict announcing the suspension of the reform of the military department and the withdrawal of the border patrol team.
The two attendants hurried to Xuanhua, Shi Yiyi was overjoyed, personally placed wine to entertain, and knelt to receive the holy decree. He praised several words of 'holy wisdom' and went south to burn incense and worship.
Governor Shi sent soldiers into the barracks to call for people, and this time his attitude was much better, not only sending back boxes and other items, but also bringing ten taels of silver to each person.
Cai Xianqing looked at the silver in his hand, sighed, and muttered: "How can Ye Shilang beat them...... then packed his luggage and returned.
In view of this loss, Shi Yiyi ordered his henchmen to severely punish the sergeant who was bribed by Cai Xianqing and imprisoned him in prison; Fearing that the captives would commit another offense, the court would be frightened, so he brought several cartloads of gold, silver, and jewelry, and ordered the imprisoned sergeants to form a team and carry the carts to the big tent.
The Khan was overjoyed and ordered hospitality to the envoys, who proposed to send the soldiers as slaves, but the Khan resolutely refused and sent them all back to the country. Shi Yiyi had no choice but to kill and bury these soldiers together, take the money they got for himself, and still return to Suidi to indulge in pleasure.
The border is so peaceful that it has reached Layue, and the beacon fire of Xuanhua has been lit again, but the imperial court is in full swing to do a big thing, so there is no time to take care of it.
It snowed in the palace last night, and the heavy snow covered the feet, covering the roof of the city wall, and even crushed the plaque of the household yamen.
I saw that Chen Tongpao came from afar. He wore a fox fur on the outside, a court robe on the inside, and cotton boots on his feet, and walked to the gate step by step.
"Chen Shilang, you are here, Lord Shangshu is warming up in the house, just waiting for you to go to the meeting." A scribe leaned on a ladder and turned back.
"What? The plaque fell? Comrade Chen walked to the door and dusted off the white stains on his clothes.
"The old man is discussing that big thing, and if he neglects it, it's a big deal. This is not a good sign...... "A scribe wiped the snow behind the plaque with his hand.
"Don't, don't talk nonsense!" Another person hurriedly scolded, "You wish something would happen to our officials!" ”
"How can I mean that......"
Comrade Chen ignored it and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
