Chapter 404: Killer Feature
What are your expressions? β
"I don't sit with people who are riddled with bad luck!"
"But I ......"
What can Hao Sui do, he is just continuing the rules of the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and this rule can only be placed in secret, not in the open. When he was put on the surface, the rules were no longer rules, and he would no longer protect him, but he became a traitor.
Don't look at Hao Sui's ability to follow the emperor now, but it is a foregone conclusion that he will leave the emperor and leave the palace. If you are close to this, then Hao Sui's successor will definitely be resentful. After all, eunuchs who are famous for their cautious eyes can't hold much in their hearts. It's a bit of a revenge, and I want to take revenge from morning to night.
It's like dog shit on the road, stepping on it, but dirty shoes, disgusting yourself, there is no benefit, you can only take a detour.
Thinking that he was going to be unlucky, Hao Sui couldn't hide his sadness.
Fortunately, Gao Yu is a good person, and he didn't dislike him as much as Li Kui and Han Deqin, and fell into the ground.
Li Kui can't help it, civil official, the emperor's quasi-brother-in-law, he can't bully.
Han Deqin has no choice, a proper martial arts magnates, important ministers of the court, he has to stammer.
Only Gao Yu, the head of the unpopular palace juju team, although it is a military position, but if you really want to talk about it, it is nothing.
Hao Sui looked at Gao Yu with this old face, and sighed for a long time: "See the truth in adversity, Gao Yu, our family has always misjudged you before." I thought you didn't have any skills other than Keju. Unexpectedly, you are still a righteous person. β
Gao Yu likes to listen to this, he calls himself benevolent and righteous, so naturally he is not talking about it. Especially now, seeing that Hao Sui is about to be unlucky, how can Gao Yu fall into the well? He was concerned: "Father-in-law Hao, if you leave the palace, where will you go?" β
"I can't stay in the capital, although Your Majesty didn't say it this time, our family has also figured out a few places to go." Hao Sui felt that there was no need to hide it, his enemies were in the court, but to the foreign ministers, he was a non-threatening person. It doesn't hurt to talk about it: "Our family has thought about it, but it is nothing more than going to the Daimyo's Mansion to govern the big river (Yellow River), and now the big river has been diverted, and the prime ministers are arguing about the diversion of the big river." First, the Great River entered the Liao Territory, which was unfavorable to the northern border of our Great Song Dynasty. The Liao State can threaten our Daimyo Mansion by crossing the water, and in turn pose a threat to the capital, and the diversion is inevitable. β
"Second, after the diversion of the big river, there will be no water available for irrigation in our Jeju, Qizhou, and more than ten prefectures, and millions of people will suffer, so we must find a way to solve it."
Hao Sui felt that it was not bad to govern the river and be a river worker, and it could be regarded as loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.
Although this is true, Li Kui did not think that Hao Sui had this ability, and the big river was diverted, and it went out to sea from the vicinity of Laizhou in Qizhou, and moved five or six hundred miles horizontally to the north at once. If this is restored to the original river, millions of people will not be enough. The court couldn't take out so much money at all.
This is a solution that is difficult to solve even by manpower.
Hao Sui forget it, right?
He has this ability, and he has long been developed during the Shenzong period. After all, whether it is Wang Anshi or Emperor Shenzong, they all have a strong obsession with governing the river, why did Hao Sui not develop in the first emperor, but he had to entrust him with important tasks during the Shaosheng period? It's not that he doesn't have special talents recognized by the Divine Sect. However, he did not immediately debunk Hao Sui's behavior of putting gold on his face, and asked: "I don't know if Grandpa Hao has experience in river management?" β
"Nope!"
Hao Sui said angrily, how can he have experience, he has not even been out of the capital a few times.
However, he quickly cheered up, after all, after the eunuch left the palace, he served outside, and the Daimyo's Mansion was the best place to go. Close to the capital, the Daimyofu is also one of the best male cities in the Great Song Dynasty, with a population of one million and a prosperous city, which is not worse than Bianliang at all.
He also thought of a place to go: "If you can't go to the Daimyo's mansion, you can only go to Hangzhou." β
But Gao Yu didn't see it that way, and said to Hao Sui: "Father-in-law Hao, you patronize a good place." I didn't think about going to a less prosperous place. β
"Not too bustling?"
"What do you mean?"
Gao Yu said: "I heard you say that Your Majesty has been discussing the affairs of the northwest with the ministers these days. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to the Northwest. Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road have sent important ministers to garrison. It can be seen that His Majesty's greed for Western Xia has become unbearable, and perhaps a major war is inevitable. If there is a war in the northwest, you will inevitably need a prison army trusted by His Majesty, so you didn't want to go to Shaanxi Sixth Road to be a prison army? β
Hao Sui's fall from grace is a sure thing, and Gao Yu is no longer afraid of him.
Of course, Gao Yu's crow's beak caused Hao Sui's strong reaction, and Hao Sui panicked the next moment, the six gods had no owner, and his eyes were hollow and said: "If our family goes to this place, won't we want to die in a foreign country?" β
There is also a reason for saying this, most of the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty are from Kaifeng Mansion and Gyeonggi Road. If you really leave the capital, it is equivalent to leaving your hometown.
In an era when the concept of the countryside is very heavy, especially in the face of military disasters, Hao Sui is a eunuch, not a general, so it is strange not to panic. The point is, it's easy to say that you win the war, but what if you lose?
Even if he hadn't died at the time, would he have been a scapegoat, okay?
"Our family, our family...... How good is that? β
Gao Yu gently patted Hao Sui's shoulder and said sympathetically: "Father-in-law Hao, you can go with confidence." Brother and you work together, although I can't help Father-in-law Hao much, but your family in the capital, I will take care of it. β
"Brother Gao, I didn't expect you to be a hot-blooded man!"
Hao Sui was quite moved, but in addition to being moved, he felt a little wrong. His family, why should Gao Yu take care of it?
And Li Kui and Han Deqin were completely stunned. Gao Yu, your kid is so promising, you even worry about the eunuch's wife and concubine. Han Deqin pointed at Gao Yu and scolded with a smile: "Most of Hao Sui's money in this life has been spent on the wife and concubine of the mansion, and everyone is unlucky to be like this." You kid, you still want to eat ready-made. β
Hao Sui then understood, what was wrong just now? I can't wait to pinch Gao Yu's neck and kill him: "Gao Yu, you didn't think about our family, but you were looking forward to our family's death, so that you could inherit our family's mansion and wife and concubine Meiji, and our family will not let you go!" β
Gao Yu said with a straight face: "Father-in-law Hao, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." I am a friend and a colleague with you, and I am not your son, how can I inherit your mansion and wife and concubine. Besides, how old is your wife and concubine, I have to call my uncle when I see it, right? β
Han Deqin suddenly laughed: "Gao Yu, you have miscalculated. Hao Sui's wife and concubine are not very old, they are younger than you. This guy just died of his wife two years ago, and he was promoted to the front of the palace, which can be described as a spring breeze. Hao Sui is a celebrity in the palace, and the manager of the sect does not dare to offend him at all, this guy will marry all the Oiran of the sect and go home, and the concubines have become the top brand of the sect, spending a lot of money. A few years ago, it was also the first in the palace. If you really inherit his mansion, you will marry the entire priest's house. Straight lady thief, I have an idea. β
Gao Yu looked at Hao Sui's old face in horror, and almost yelled in his heart: What about the loyal and unswerving love that was promised?
In these years, even eunuchs are so affectionate, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!
But Hao Sui was so frightened by Gao Yu, he was really wilted, he originally only thought of good things, but he didn't expect that in case, he was reminded by Gao Yu, and suddenly thought of this possibility. Go to the northwest, with the will of the emperor, gritted his teeth and fought to the death with the Tangut people. But the Xixia people are hard, his teeth are broken, and he can't even gnaw it!
Let's talk about the emperor.
After a period of calm in the court, there was a sudden commotion again.
At first, it was because of Cai Jing, who suddenly petitioned the emperor to ask for the restoration of the former prime minister Cai Qu's official position, identity, and proposed nickname.
This request seems very simple, because Cai is indeed dead, and there is still Conglong Zhigong, who was an important minister before the death of the first emperor, and one of the important ministers of the court who insisted on making Zhao Xu the emperor. But when he died, he was ruined and thrown to the end.
Of course, Cai does have another identity, Cai Jing's uncle.
This matter is simple, Zhao Xu originally intended to discuss it in the court, but he was strongly opposed by Su Zhe. Taiwanese official Liu Zhi also strongly supported Su Che's position, believing that Cai did slander Prime Minister Wang Qi, who also had the merit of Conglong and had greater credit than him. Unexpectedly, Wang Jue died, so he didn't let his treacherous plan succeed. Moreover, there is another witness here, Li Qingchen.
When Shenzong was dying, Li Qingchen was a bachelor of Hanlin and knew it. In other words, the holy decrees promulgated by the Divine Sect to the outside world must pass through the hands of Li Qingchen.
At that time, Cai Qu's conspiracy could not bypass him.
But Li Qingchen is this guy! is pretentious, and sometimes even the stain of his own people has to be pointed out.
In fact, there is no need for Li Qingchen to jump out, Cai is really a problem, when he was in the local office, he was bribed, which is a stain that cannot be washed away in a lifetime among the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
In particular, Cai did receive strong sponsorship from Wang Qi, and he was so vicious to his benefactor and extremely despicable character.
How can such people be restored to their official positions and reputations?
Zhao Xu was also embarrassed, Cai Qu's problem was very serious, and he didn't like it. But the problem is that Cai does have an identity, he is the prime minister who implemented Wang Anshi's reform in the early years of Yuanyou, and he is the banner figure of the reform faction in his dynasty. To deny Cai is to deny himself. This made him very embarrassed.
But soon, the building of the court hall was crooked again.
Originally, they criticized Cai Qu well, but they didn't know how to do it, but Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu suddenly began to divert their attention and criticize Sima Guang and Lu Gong. And the emperor will abolish these official positions and titles before and after death, and the grace of the imperial court.
On the surface, this is a very ordinary counterattack.
But the person who presided over the counterattack was Zhang Dian, which made Su Zhe start to be alert. It's not that simple, think about it, and think about it deeply. Once Sima Guang and LΓΌ Gongshu's honors were abolished both before and after their deaths. So can Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu, who have been buried, still enjoy the burial of the founding father?
Once you can't enjoy it, isn't this going to dig up the grave and the coffin?
Thinking of this, Su Zhe's heart was also confused. The two sides fought in the court, and the spitting stars flew like spit, and the emperor was caught in it, but there was no way at all.
This is also the reason why the emperor hurriedly came to consult the third uncle: "Senior, I am afraid that the 'procrastination decision' you taught me before may not be useful, and now the housekeepers are pointing to the old past and attacking each other, once everything is turned up, it is inevitable that the deceased grandmother will suffer." When she was in charge of the old family, she listened to the villain, but as a grandson, I can't let the hatred between the stewards affect my grandmother's reputation, right? β
Filial piety.
This is the foundation of all Chinese dynasties for thousands of years.
If Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't even keep the veil of pretending to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson, he would not be far away from becoming a faint monarch.
The third uncle is so angry, what's going on? He glanced at Zhao Xu and said in his heart, "What's the use of such a steward?" Killed. "But if you really give people such an idea, wouldn't it be smashing your own signboard? The point is, does his official still have to fall on Zhao Xu? Before becoming an official, he didn't dare to offend Zhao Xu.
The old man was so sad that he almost pulled off the beard on his chin one by one, but he had to maintain the appearance of pretending to be a high-level master, which really hurt his old man.
Suddenly, he thought of a way and asked Zhao Xu: "There is a way for people to advance and retreat, in order to preserve strength." But there is no way to retreat, but there is a time when you can't defeat the other party, you have to think of the trouble, you ponder, do you have any colleagues who are afraid of your housekeeper? β
Zhao Xu didn't think this method was very useful, he couldn't tell the third uncle that the housekeeper of his family was noisy all day long, and he didn't take him as a family member very seriously.
If he really said that, the third uncle might want Li Lin to lead someone to help Zhao Xu break the leg of the thief who was making trouble.
But Zhao Xu used a fake identity, if he really showed his true identity, whose dogleg would you let Li Lin dare to break?
Zhangdu?
Zengbu?
Li Qingchen?
Cai Bian or Cai Jing?
Su Zhe or Fan Chunren?
When the time comes, the fifth uncle Li Lin, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will face this group of grass-eating literati, and the terrifying aura exuded will also scare the pee.
However, the third uncle asked Zhao Xu to think about it carefully, and Zhao Xu really thought about it, it seems that there is such a person, the conservatives regard him as a tiger wolf, and the reformers regard him as a fierce god. Zhao Xu said with a strange face: "Senior, there is really such a person. β
"Afraid of him?"
The third uncle always felt that Zhao Xu's temperament was weak, and he was a little worried that Zhao Xu's description was untrue. If his family makes a fuss like this, according to the temper of the third uncle, even if he has a few fewer grandchildren, he will suppress it. It's the other way around, I don't stop making noise every day, I really think the tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat?
Zhao Xu nodded seriously and said, "That's right, I'm afraid of him." β
Only then did the third uncle open his mouth and laugh heartily: "Boy, teach you a trick, this is called a killer feature." As long as you use it, your gang of local chickens and dogs will have to stop cooking. β
When Zhao Xu heard this, his confidence suddenly rose, and he said excitedly: "Senior, do you mean that if you call this steward back from the Grange outside, the family will be safe?" β
It's not that the third uncle hasn't taught his apprentices, and when he encounters such a stupid guy as Zhao Xu, his old man's anger is also rising, and he said angrily: "Stupid, the reason why the killer weapon is called a killer weapon is that it is a killer weapon when you hold it in your hand, and it is a mallet thrown out!" The old man has been teaching you for many days! β
While speaking, the third uncle suddenly approached his upper body, pressed his left hand on the case, raised his right hand high, opened his palm, and raised it in mid-air, as if he wanted to give Zhao Xu a resounding slap.
Zhao Xu was so frightened that he sat down on the seat and exclaimed: Ah!
However, it was not only Zhao Xu who was frightened, but also Li Kui, Gao Yu, Hao Sui, and Han Deqin...... I'm almost scared to pee.
The fastest reaction was of course Li Kui, and he saw a black shadow, swishing out of the distance, and hugged the third uncle in an instant, Li Kui was also frightened: "Third grandfather, calm down!" β
