419: Kindness is only a weapon

Zhang Zhibai's face was red, like a red-hot piece of iron in a steel furnace.

Just now, he still wanted to pit the young man.

But now you listen to what people say, and then look at the dirty methods you have done.

Judge from above!

The old man's skills are not as good as others!

Zhao Zhen also saw the embarrassment on the faces of several Zaifu.

But who is this thing for, and who is not embarrassed?

A group of old men who added up to more than 300 were pressed to the ground by a teenager and rubbed repeatedly, and they were powerless to 'beat' them when they were not there!

If we continue to talk about it, I am afraid that a few old guys will be angry......

Zhao Zhen could only interrupt with a wave of his hand and said, "This matter ...... Tomorrow again, tomorrow ......"

He was also a little embarrassed, blushing and feeling very embarrassed.

After all, he had reprimanded Qin Wei before, but he didn't expect that the courtier who was reprimanded by himself was the loyal minister who was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty!

Xu Mao, as the emperor's side, naturally knew how to round the field.

He kept a straight face and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Qin Wei has been lazy at home recently, and the Secretariat can't go to the bureau twice a month, and the Northern Expeditionary Army outside the city is also slack......

"Too lazy."

Wang Yaochen also knew Zhao Zhen's thoughts, so he said with a straight face: "Young people should not be lazy, they should call him tomorrow." ”

This is to save some face for the monarch and ministers.

However, everyone knows that the reason why Qin Wei didn't go to the bureau was not because he was lazy, but because he was too diligent.

The more stable the bureau is, the more worried the DPRK and Central Ministries become.

Now that there is Zong Sheng, he can completely maintain the basic operation of the department, and if Qin Wei still has to bow down to everything, it will only make the officials of the various ministries panic.

Qin Wei's methods are much more ruthless than Zong Sheng's.

During the monthly assessment, when he met officials who occasionally did not meet the standards, Zong Sheng mostly turned a blind eye and passed, after all, he did not have the foundation and background like Qin Wei.

But Qin Wei is different, if this kind of thing happens, he will definitely punish him with a heavy hand.

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Xu Mao would naturally arrange it.

"Qin is ......"

Li Erzhu said after realizing it: "It turns out that Qin Langjun can still go to the court? The villain still thinks that he is not good enough...... That also scolded the officials with him, Your Majesty, the villain is guilty. ”

He knelt down and kowtowed, full of fear.

This is really wronged, he was not originally from the Great Song Dynasty, he only had a subjective judgment on Qin Wei, and felt that a fourth-grade official was not qualified to meet at all.

I didn't expect Qin Wei's status in the Great Song Dynasty to be so high.

It's ridiculous that he thought that this person must be bragging, but now that he looks at it, his words are definitely not bragging!

Listen to the sound of the knock.

How much it hurts!

Zhao Zhen frowned unconsciously and said, "Not guilty." ”

An attendant came over and pulled up Li Erzhu.

A picture suddenly appeared in Zhao Zhen's mind: Qin Wei drank too much in front of Li Erzhu, the appearance of a large number of officials in the court.

He's definitely going to foul language again.

The man never paid attention to his appearance, and he scolded whenever he wanted, not like a scholar at all.

If he can't figure it out, he even scolded the Zaifuke......

Thinking about it made him feel funny.

But if you scold me, he naturally won't, I take care of him like this, how can he not understand proportion?

But he still slipped his mouth, and subconsciously said: "Then he has scolded me?" ”

Poof!

Li Erzhu knelt down again in an instant, his face turned pale and trembled uncontrollably.

This is frightened, which also indirectly shows that Qin Wei should have said bad things about Zhao Zhen...... Otherwise, Li Erzhu would not be so afraid.

Zhao Zhen's face was full of black lines, and he felt that he had really fed the dog.

Zhang Zhibai and the others were thinking about Qin Wei's words, and they also felt funny when they saw this.

If you want to say that this Great Song Dynasty dares to openly slander the emperor, it is only for Qin Wei, this kid really doesn't know how to write dead words!

Look at Wang Zhen's face!

Wang Zhen, who had just been proud of the fact that the younger generation in his family had come out, the smile on his face froze almost instantly, and then the smile turned into anger.

It seems that this kid can't give a good beating!

After Zhao Zhen was speechless, he said lightly: "What did he say?" ”

I want to see how unconscionable he is......

Li Erzhu didn't dare to hide it, and said: "He said that His Majesty is merciful and forgiving, but ...... Kindness is mercy, but some people are mostly cheap, and the more merciful you are, the more unscrupulous he becomes, with such people...... To say that it sounds good is to be kind, and to say that it is bad is to indulge! ”

Under what circumstances would the emperor indulge his courtiers?

Under no circumstances!

Under the imperial system, the emperor is the supreme existence, and no one can restrain him, let alone let him go!

But some people held their own weight, so they began to challenge the emperor's bottom line, and the emperor himself was weak, which led to more and more unscrupulous people.

They are always fearless, feeling that the court can't do anything about themselves, and even feel that the emperor has to rely on them.

Once the desire sprouts, it can no longer be eradicated in time.

Becoming a devil is only a matter of moments.

Zhang Zhibai and the others' faces turned green, and their anger overflowed......

Is this saying that I am waiting for Zaisuke?

Wang Zhen also felt that Qin Weizhen would go to the house to uncover the tiles if he didn't fight for three days.

Is that what you can say?

If the emperor is not merciful one day, just your words, you can lose your head!

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead and was speechless.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that this was really the case...... He has been in a translucent state all these years, knowing that it has only gradually taken over power in the past two years.

In the past, when Liu E was there, Zhao Zhen was not at home, so he naturally couldn't consider this.

Now think about it, when the Queen Mother was in power, did these people dare to do this? Do they dare to kick the Queen Mother in the face?

Compared with the two generations of rulers before the Great Song Dynasty, Liu E's wrists are much harder.

It depends on her daring to put Zhang Zhibai in the position of the first assistant, if she is indecisive, she dares to do so!

There is also the original Ding Wei.

Liu E will never be soft when she should make a move, and when she comes up, she will kill and wipe out Ding Wei's party in one fell swoop, how can such courage be something ordinary people can have?

And when you change to yourself......

Zhao Zhen was slightly lost in his heart.

Compared to Emperor Zhenzong, he lacked majesty, so these courtiers always felt that the emperor was young and easy to bully.

Compared with the Empress Dowager Liu E, he also lacks the aggressive means and the momentum to dare to go to war.

Aren't these the consequences of kindness?

In an instant he sat up straight.

But after seeing the contemplative faces of Zhang Zhibai and the others, he sighed secretly again and gave up that plan.

What if I pretend to be harsh?

What the ministers and the people of the world are afraid of is the queen mother who is dictatorial in the court, he does not have the courage of the queen mother, no matter how serious he is, he only has his appearance.

In addition, he is now in power, if the means are too tough, I am afraid that the situation will be a mess.

"Zhuqing, go your own way."

Then Zhao Zhen smiled slightly.

Don't think I'm tough enough? There was a bit of a hatred of those whining.

Zhao Zhen was originally a little lost, but gradually remembered what Qin Wei had talked to him, and regained his confidence.

Don't worry, I'm still young, and one day these people will see my edge!

"He's not drinking well, someone."

"Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen said playfully, "Send some decanting soup and let him sober up." ”

Xu Mao bowed down and responded, and then went in person.

The courtiers complained, feeling that the emperor was too weak and should be dealt with as a matter of course.

Even if you don't deal with it, you have to take advantage of the situation to beat it, otherwise anyone will dare to get drunk and tease the emperor in the future, and then the court will not be able to control it.

But Zhao Zhen just asked people to send the sobering soup, and laughed at it.

Such an emperor is indeed merciful and heartbreaking.

Although he was young, he knew that the emperor knew that he was not without majesty, but he knew how to hide it, and he knew how to transform majesty into practical benefits.

The little emperor has matured!

The Zaifu turned around in unison, then bowed.

"Your Majesty is merciful and forgiving."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Zhuqing, let's go." ”

He gradually realized that kindness came from his bones, and there was no need to change anything.

He just needs to do his duty and use kindness to 'influence' these people......

Sometimes soft knives are more lethal than hard knives.

……

Later, there were frequent people in and out of the palace, and many fresh faces entered.

The words of a few businessmen can only be adopted, but they cannot be the basis for the decision-making of the imperial court, otherwise it will be child's play.

Zhao Zhen was constantly looking for someone to question.

Including those officials who previously served on Quang Nam West Road, and some officials who knew the local customs were called.

The results of the questioning again and again were exactly the same as what Li Erzhu said.

This couldn't help but make him turn pale.

To sum up, Jiaozhi's ambition has long been more than just harassment!

They had long begun to covet the resources of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the land of the Great Song Dynasty...... Especially under a belligerent monarch like Li Rizun, the Jiaozhi people were by no means good.

I underestimated the enemy before!

And what he didn't know was...... A few decades later, in the third year of Jiayou, Jiaozhi gathered 50,000 troops to raid Qinzhou in the Great Song Dynasty!

Cochin won a big victory, and returned with a show of strength outside the city!

These people took the sneak attack as a matter of course, and never felt that such a practice did not emphasize martial virtue, let alone the condemnation of the Song court.

That kind of words that don't hurt or itch are tantamount to farting to the people of Cochin.

They invaded all parts of the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty one after another, and the local state capital did not have a decent resistance at all, and they were unable to even defend themselves.

Being pressed to the ground by a small country that is several times weaker than itself and rubbed repeatedly, this situation can only happen in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Out of the palace!"

Zhao Zhen finally discovered the essence of Jiaozhi.

This has never been a kind neighbor, if you are not careful, maybe it is really as Qin Wei said, in a few decades, there will be no peace in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

And what he didn't know was that after waiting for more than ten years, a child named Nong Zhigao would grow up, and then slap him hard!

The southwest has never been calm, and it is now and will be in the future.

Fortunately, the current Cochin has just risen, and they only rely on a momentum to conquer, and they do not have deep support.

If Da Song could face up to this matter earlier, there would be room for reversal.

So Zhao Zhen couldn't sit still, uncomfortable, and felt like someone was staring at him.

So he changed into civilian clothes and left the palace with a few family officials and Xu Maoze.

……

"You must know that the Great Song Dynasty is not peaceful, these superficial prosperity are just rootless duckweed, which look beautiful but are scattered when touched.

In the Qin family's study, Qin Wei was instilling ideas into several 'pro-lineage' disciples.

If you want to change the development trend of an era, you must first change the thinking of young people in this era.

No matter what time it is, young people are the real mainstream, and they will eventually mature and then slowly shape the direction of the country.

He glanced at Ouyang Xiu, who was listening carefully, and was slightly satisfied in his heart.

"Xia in the northwest, the tiger and wolf in the Liao, the effect of Jiaozhi in the southwest, and the city take advantage of the opportunity, and there are more distant Goryeo...... These people are like wild dogs that will bite you off two pieces of meat at the chance! ”

Zhao Yunrang was in a daze, and Ouyang Xiu asked seriously: "Mr. Qin, do Jiaozhi people really dare to covet the Great Song Dynasty?" Do they have the ability? ”

"Then do you think that Li Rizun plundered the realm so frequently, just to rob some food and drink money, so that he could have a fat year?"

This was the first time Ouyang Xiu had participated in the Qin family's private tea party.

In the past, Qin Wei told Zhao Yunrang and Di Qing about this, so that they could recognize the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty earlier and determine their future goals in advance.

Later, there was another Pang Shiying, although this young man was a little arrogant, but he obeyed Qin Wei's words.

But these people are more or less directly related to Qin Wei.

Zhao Yunrang is the heir to the Shangjun Palace, and his status goes without saying.

Pang Shiying is a genius, and his father Pang Ji has just been promoted to privy envoy, and this future can simply blind people's eyes.

Although Di Qing's status is not high, he is brave and is the most effective general of Qin.

They can all help the Qin family directly or indirectly.

But what about me?

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were a little dazed, and he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, what do I have?

He didn't have anything......

Even if Qin Wei was in trouble, he didn't have the ability to share his worries.

This kind of gap made Ouyang Xiu feel inferior for the first time, and he felt deeply inferior......

In the past, he always thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely be able to create his own world in the future...... But today he discovered that some things are destined by birth, and he may not be able to achieve them in his life!

Qin Wei didn't know what he was thinking, he just knocked on the table and reminded, "But tired?" If you are tired, you can rest and have some refreshments......"

Ouyang Xiu is not as good as them, not only has to study hard, but also helps his mother work, and he hates to sleep every day.

For his students, especially those with excellent character and learning, Qin Wei is still very concerned.

This made Pang Shiying on the side pout, and looked at Ouyang Xiu with some jealousy.

Ouyang Xiu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Mr. for your concern, the student is not tired, but he is a little distracted." ”

Ouyang Xiu, who has always been steady, will also get distracted?

Qin Wei didn't think much about it, just smiled.

Pang Shiying saw Ouyang Xiu's thoughts very smartly, and said with a smile: "Ouyang, you and I are both students of Mr. Qin, although we can't help Mr. yet, but one day we will grow up, and then Mr. Qin's ambition will be realized by us together!" ”

This is to comfort Ouyang Xiu not to be lost.

Everyone in the world is different, and everyone has their own chance to shine!
