Chapter 397: The Right Time
"Speaker. That's why you're here for me?"
Zhang Shangying hesitated and looked at Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what am I for?"
Probably feeling a little tired, he had to find a seat and settle down so that he could be more comfortable.
"But Prime Minister Xiao did a good job, why do we still oppose it?" Zhang Shangying didn't understand.
Wang Xuan shook his head, and then said: "There is no greater sin than desire, no greater misfortune than discontentment, and no greater guilt than desire." The saint also knew that if there was no limit to power, it would cause great calamity. And you should also understand the power of the prime minister. If it were a different person, would you still be like this? For example, Qin Hui, Han Tuoxuan, Jia Yidao, Ding Daquan, Shi Miyuan and others?"
Zhang Shangying thought about it carefully, and if the prime minister was replaced by someone else, he felt a burst of fear: "No." ”
As for what Wang Xuan said, they were all well-known traitors in the Song Dynasty, and they had been ruling the court since they moved south with the Song Dynasty.
If the prime ministers of the Huaxia Dynasty are all of this kind of goods, it is simply unimaginable.
"That's exactly the case, so I and the others should take precautions and prevent this from happening. The power of the Song Dynasty must not happen in our dynasty. Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked directly at Zhang Shangying.
Zhang Shangying's body was shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "Speaker Qiqi, I understand." ”
A character like Xiao Feng is just an exception after all.
As for Qin Hui's treacherous appearance, Fang is the common sense of people.
His eyes were slightly condensed, and Zhang Shangying noticed Wang Xuan's physical condition, his back was no longer as strong as usual, and his pale hair were all telling him what the man in front of him had become.
Zhang Shangying realized in his heart, maybe it was because he was aware of his physical condition, so he told himself, so he said: "So the speaker." Did you ask me to be here in the hope that I would be able to stop this from happening?
"That's right. Maybe when I was younger, I used to have bad deeds, but now I'm that old enough to step into the grave anytime and anywhere. After all, I am already old, Prime Minister Xiao is also old, and my former colleagues are also old. We don't have much time left, and what we have created will eventually be handed over to you. ”
Seeing that Zhang Shangying finally made up his mind, Wang Xuan's eyes closed slightly, and he rested a little, the previous words seemed to have consumed too much of his strength, and only after a while did he open his eyes, seeing that Zhang Shangying was still standing in the distance, he relaxed a little and continued to advise.
"The reason why I said this to you is also because I feel that there is something wrong with the lifelong prime minister, not just to question Prime Minister Xiao. After all, with her current merits, she is already wronged to be the prime minister. If she really wants to be the emperor, we are afraid that there is nothing we can do, and it will be difficult to stop it. But since you have inherited the People's Party, you have to be careful and you must stop it. Got it?"
"Don't worry, Speaker, I'll get this done. ”
Zhang Shangying bowed and bowed, and made a solemn promise.
And as far as Wang Xuan said, the lifelong prime minister has always been a disaster, if it was just Xiao Feng, after all, she does have the talent and character to hold this position. But if it were someone else, it would be unimaginable. A person who cannot be restrained and restrained, and who also has a huge army in his hands, if this person really wants to do something, then there is really no one who can restrain him.
It was just out of fear in his heart that Zhang Shangying also knew that he had to push for this matter, abolishing the lifelong prime minister, and making it the same as the prime minister and chairman, with term of office and rotation restrictions.
The misfortune of the Song Dynasty must not appear in the Huaxia Dynasty.
Wang Xuan was slightly relieved, and replied with a slight bow: "That's good, that's good." After seeing Zhang Shangying leave, he looked slightly sideways at the spirit card placed on the auditorium, which was his younger brother Wang Ling's.
"Alas. ”
Wang Xuan thought about his previous actions, and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I also hurt you." If I hadn't asked you to raise Zhao Yu at the beginning, how would I have made today's situation? One wrong step, one wrong step. Perhaps, is this what happened to you on the wrong path? If you had only chosen to teach and educate people, would it have been a different scene? Alas, it would have been a pity!
He didn't have the idea of revenge for his younger brother Wang Ling, after all, Wang Ling was also self-inflicted, and Wang Xuan couldn't put his family into it, just for a younger brother.
And as far as the current situation is concerned, restoration is no longer possible, especially after Xiao Feng opened the palace and allowed everyone to be a dragon chair all day long, the mystery that once shrouded the emperor was completely torn apart, and it became an existence that everyone could laugh at and joke about.
To restore in this situation is simply delusional.
On the other hand, Zhang Shangying had already been entrusted by Wang Xuan, so he set up a banquet, invited Zhao Wenying over, and invited him to Wenxuan Building for a meal and friendship.
After all, if he alone wants to promote this matter, it is really difficult, and he has to rely on the strength of others to succeed. And when he was in Jiangling Mansion, he was most familiar with Zhao Wenying, so he naturally found Zhao Wenying and wanted to ask him for advice on this matter.
"So you hope that we can take action to abolish the prime minister's lifelong system, so that it can be transformed into a rotating system like the chairman and the prime minister?" After hearing this, Zhao Wenying couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I have to say, I really regret coming here and eating your table." ”
Earlier, he thought that Zhang Shangying's invitation to him was just an ordinary friendship, but after he came, he realized that Zhang Shangying's purpose was not only that, but also wanted to let himself participate in the cause of abolishing the prime minister's lifelong system.
Zhang Shangying smiled awkwardly: "There's no way, I don't have much money in my pocket, so I can only buy these." ”
A plate of vinegared cabbage, a plate of braised osmanthus fish and a plate of roast mutton, for ordinary people, these are much more luxurious, but for a person from a wealthy family like Zhao Wenying, I have to say that it is much simpler.
Zhao Wenying smiled: "It's okay." It's just that if you want to win me over, just rely on these drinks and food, I'm afraid it still won't work. ”
"So, are you unwilling?" Zhang Shangying was slightly disappointed.
The objects of their previous struggle were figures such as Kang Di and Yan Gongnan, although they had the support of many scholars, but after all, they were not in the climate, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now, they are going to change direction and target Xiao Feng, which is a different scene. After all, Xiao Feng is no better than others, and what happened to Kang Di, they have never forgotten it, and it is always a deep memory.
If Zhao Wenying wants to help him fight against Xiao Feng, it is impossible to think no matter what.
"What do you think?"
Zhao Wenying put down her chopsticks, stared at Zhang Shangying with a smile, and asked, "It's just that I'm curious, why did you suddenly have such an idea?"
"It's not just me, it's actually the idea of Speaker Wang Xuan. But now that he is old, he entrusts this matter to me. I have also received a lot of favors from him in the past, so naturally I should also help him, right?" Zhang Shangying nodded and admitted: "And don't you think, in terms of the current situation, the power of the lord is too huge? If the lord is down, it is fine, if it is replaced by someone else, I really dare not imagine." Only by abolishing the lifelong system can we avoid the misfortune of treachery like the Song Dynasty, isn't it?"
Remembering what Wang Xuan said, Zhang Shangying was even more worried, and just wanted to reach an agreement now, so as not to repeat the Song Dynasty.
There is some truth to that. ”
Zhao Wenying paused, and said: "But have you ever thought that the war is far from over now, and the Yuan army in the Song Dynasty has not been completely wiped out. If we raise objections at this time, I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by those who have a heart, and it will affect the major event of exterminating the Yuan army. What will happen then?"
"This, it shouldn't be possible, right?" Zhang Shangying asked rhetorically.
He hadn't thought about this before, but there was still luck in his heart, thinking that this matter might be successful.
Zhao Wenying persuaded: "Why not? Think about it, those Song Dynasty scholars were already dissatisfied with the lord, if we propose it at this time, we are afraid that they will take advantage of it, and then it will definitely form a turmoil, so that the lord will succumb." When the time comes, the Lord will certainly be distracted from this matter. If at this time, the Yuan army will take advantage of this to escape, what should we do?"
"You mean, you don't want to help?" Zhang Shangying was a little unhappy, looking at Zhao Wenying's eyes, there was also some rejection.
Zhao Wenying hurriedly explained: "Not really. It's just that the time is not ripe for now. You should also know that the reason why the lord was able to defeat the Yuan army and recapture Lin'an was because of waiting. Only when the time is ripe can we make a decisive attack, otherwise where can we take down the Yuan army so neatly? It is precisely for this reason that this bill should pay more attention to the timing, and only when the time is ripe can it be realized, isn't it?"
It's not that he's afraid of Zhang Shangying, he just doesn't want to fall out with Zhang Shangying, after all, in this council, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
"If that's the case, then you really need to think about it. After Zhang Shangying heard this, he had already retreated in his heart.
As far as Zhao Wenying said, this is indeed not the time to put forward this bill.
Zhao Wenying smiled: "This is natural. And now that Lin'an has been conquered, the annihilation of the Yuan army is just around the corner. When everything is settled, we will raise the matter, and the lord will probably accept it, won't he? After all, even the speaker of the king knows the problem in this, and with his wisdom, he must understand the reason why we are proposing this proposal. ”
"That's good. Let's put that on hold for now. ”
Zhang Shangying sighed slightly, and thought silently in her heart: "It's just that time, when will it come." ”
"Let's leave this alone, let's eat. Zhao Wenying smiled, then raised his chopsticks and stretched out to the roast mutton in front of him.
Zhang Shangying smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to respond, but he was heavy and did not taste the taste of food, and the whole meal was also cold, which made people feel particularly boring.
