The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 168 Left Prime Minister Tang Zhongze

Back then when Situ Rui first ascended the Great Treasure, the situation in the court was unstable. As a queen born in the Qin family, she not only helped Situ Rui to quell the external turmoil, but also helped him deal with the affairs of the court. , Coupled with her many years of military exploits, she is even more convinced.

Situ Rui likes to reuse new officials, and he doesn't like to see old officials like Mr. Tang very much.Therefore, when Situ Rui encountered problems in the court, he asked Qin Wange for advice. Most of the time, Qin Wange discussed countermeasures with Mr. Tang Zhongze.

Tang Zhongze deserved to be the prime minister of the three dynasties. His vision of seeing people is very good, and the suggestions he put forward are even more to the point every time. He will never look down on women like some people.

At that time, after Mr. Tang Zhongze dealt with her on the reform plan of the Central Household Department and the Ministry of War with her, he also praised her: "The empress's eyes are not comparable to that of women in her boudoir, and her chest is full of hills and valleys. The old minister really admires it. I am Xiling It is a blessing for the common people to have this queen."

……

Tang Zhongze was reused by the late emperor when the late emperor was alive. At that time, a Xuanwu seal and a Zhuque seal were handed over to Tang Zhongze and Qin Han, both of whom were ministers of civil and military affairs who were reused by the court.The remaining white tiger seal was handed over to the queen mother who was only a concubine.

At that time, the late emperor once said that if the emperor's meritorious deeds are outstanding, he can benefit Xiling, he can bring peace to the country, and he can bring peace and prosperity to Xiling. The Zhuque seal, the Xuanwu seal and the Baihu seal are handed over to the emperor, and they can enter the imperial mausoleum after death.

Perhaps the first emperor had already noticed that Situ Rui was narrow-minded and not a wise master who could take on the world.This way, on the one hand, restrains Situ Rui, and on the other hand, encourages Situ Rui to hope that even if he can ascend the throne as emperor in the end, he should work hard on the throne.

But the first emperor underestimated Situ Rui's ambition. He wanted to get the jade seal, but he didn't want to seek the well-being of the common people in the world and let the people live and work in peace. The whole family, the queen mother was imprisoned without giving the white tiger seal.

If it weren't for Mr. Tang being a veteran of the three dynasties, with fragrant peaches and plums, and old friends all over the world, plus the fact that the Tang family has always kept a low profile, Mr. Tang's position in the court and in the hearts of scholars all over the world is unshakable. He would have already attacked Mr. Tang Zhongze .

It was also when he returned to Beijing that Qin Wange learned that when something happened to the Qin family, Situ Rui sent Mr. Tang directly to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the drought in order to prevent Tang Zhongze from pleading for the Qin family. North Korea, everything is a foregone conclusion.

The affairs of the Qin family have formed an irreparable gap between Situ Rui and Tang Zhongze, and Situ Rui has reused new ministers such as Li You over the years to deliberately suppress Tang Zhongze, the ministers of the court who were left to him by the former emperor. There has long been no harmony to speak of, and it is simply tense.

Qin Wange called Yingxue and asked, "How's the relationship between the Emperor and Prime Minister Zuo in court these years?"

Although Yingxue didn't know why Qin Wange asked this seriously, she still said very responsibly: "Go back to your mother, ever since something happened to the Qin family, Prime Minister Zuo had a big quarrel with the emperor when he came back from Jiangnan. Mr. Xiang has always said that his health is not good and he is recuperating at home. Therefore, although there are two prime ministers in the court, the one who holds the power is only the right minister. Moreover, the left minister has not allowed the children of the Tang family to become officials in recent years. The emperor no longer reuses the disciples of Prime Minister Tang, and most of the upstarts in the court are selected by the emperor and the right minister."

Hearing what Yingxue said, Qin Wange sneered slightly.

She is very clear about Li You's character. Most of the people he picked out were villains like him. Even Mr. Tang Zhongze was so angry that he would not let the members of the Tang family become officials. It can be seen that Mr. Tang treats the emperor well. level of disappointment.

"In these years, if there is a major event in the court, if the emperor can't hold it down, people will invite the left minister to go to the court, but because the left minister's opinions are often contrary to the emperor, the emperor can't listen to it, so every time the left minister goes to court, he will go to the court. The emperor returned to the palace angrily." Rumeng said this with a faint smile.

"Then what happened to the flood in Yongzhou this time?" Qin Wange asked.Yongzhou also suffered from floods in the past. As a flood-prone area, it is necessary to strengthen the embankment every year.

"The flood in Yongzhou has been going on for a long time. There will be floods at this time of year, and it will affect more than a dozen counties and counties. In June and July every year, the people in Yongzhou will suffer heavy casualties, but this year it will be particularly serious. A few. The torrential rain in Yongzhou caused floods, the dams were washed away, countless people were killed and injured, which aroused public anger, so the emperor hurriedly recalled Mr. Zuo Xiang, who had not been in court for half a year. However, I don’t know Zuo Xiang What did the adults say, it is said that the disturbance in the court this morning was very unpleasant." Yingxue said.

Qin Wange knew what she was thinking right away. Seeing what Qin Wange was thinking, Yingxue made some tea for Qin Wange and then left without disturbing Qin Wange.

Adai has been watching Qin Wange from the side, the princess seems to be different at this time, there is no cold look in her eyes, there is sadness in her eyes.

Adai couldn't help but said: "Princess, tell me, what is the flood like? We rarely have floods in southern Xinjiang. At that time, we were beaten to the door by the Xiling army. I always thought that the people in Xiling were doing well. You can’t look down on us. But, tell me, not all the people in Xiling are happy.”

After she said this, she found Qin Wange looking at her, and Adai was so frightened that she quickly changed her words, "Ma'am, did I say something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Qin Wange said this with a blank face, and then turned away, "You are right. No matter where the people are, there is no absolute happiness. It's hard to live in peace, unable to live and work in peace and contentment. It doesn't matter whether it's Xiling or Nanjiang."

"Princess..." Adai always felt that something was wrong with the princess when it came to this question.

Qin Wange was not silent anymore, the eyes of Master Kuchan in Xiangguo Temple looking at her jumped out of his mind, and those few words rang in his ears.

"The benefactor is too obsessed, and repaying kindness and revenge is in the mind of the benefactor. No matter what the benefactor chooses in the future, I hope the benefactor will not be blinded by hatred... The people are innocent, and the country is innocent. Back then, the benefactor guarded these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I hope the benefactor will not Forget the past..."

"Good and evil are all in one thought. There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and resentment, parting from love, not being able to ask, and not letting go. If the benefactor can let go of everything, it will definitely not be as painful as it is now..."

It didn't take long for Situ Rui to come over. Sure enough, as Li Deshou said, he was furious when he saw it, and his face was extremely bad. If anyone said anything at this time, he would definitely explode.

Seeing Situ Rui's appearance, Qin Wange served the lotus seed and lily soup in person, and said softly to Situ Rui: "This lotus seed and lily soup is cooked by Su Su himself. Your Majesty, eat something to calm your anger. I'm so angry." Dragon body, it's not good."

Situ Rui saw that Qin Wange served the soup himself, the white porcelain bowl and that fair hand seemed to be integrated into one, and the lust and anger disappeared a little. Watching Qin Wange's hand dreaming in his mind, he ate it. The bowl of sweet soup.

After eating, he said to Qin Wange with unfinished thoughts: "Susu is the most caring. Seeing you makes me feel much more comfortable."

Seeing that Situ Rui's anger had subsided, Qin Wange pinched Situ Rui's shoulders behind him, and asked pretendingly puzzled: "The emperor is so well behaved today, why is he so angry, but who can't do it well?" Did you offend the emperor?"

"It's not that old guy Tang Zhongze!" Situ Rui was very angry, so he didn't notice that there was something wrong with his words, and then complained to Qin Wange: "Tang Zhongze relied on himself as a veteran of the three dynasties. He likes to tell me what to say or do, but I really want to know whether this world belongs to the Situ family or his Tang family!"

Seeing what Situ Rui said, Qin Wange's eyes flashed brightly, but he still tried to persuade him: "It's just a subject who did something wrong, why does the emperor get so angry and ruin his body? It's not worth it. "

Situ Rui is not wary of Qin Wange anymore, so he complained to Qin Wange: "You don't know what Tang Zhongze said. Today I asked him to go to court to ask if there is any good way to control the water in Yongzhou. He Fortunately, after going to court, he didn't talk about the problem of water control, but instead criticized me."

Qin Wange listened obediently and refused to talk, but Situ Rui said he was addicted.

"He said that the flood in Yongzhou was so big because the dams were washed away. The dams built last year were destroyed this year. He said that my employer didn't notice, and Lin Yong was appointed as a major. The officials of the embankment said that Lin Yong embezzled the money for repairing the embankment, which caused such a big disaster, and let me take the initiative to conduct a review in order to appease the anger of the people."

After speaking, Situ Rui took a sip of tea, and then said to Qin Wange: "You said he dared to say that to me in front of the ministers, and he didn't know how to scold me in private! He actually asked me to review , he deserves it too! If it weren't for the Xuanwu seal in his hand, I would have been unable to tolerate him long ago."

While waiting to speak, Situ Rui suddenly felt that he had talked too much.

Seeing that Qin Wange's expression was still the same as usual, as if he didn't hear the last sentence he said, with a faint smile on his face, Situ Rui heaved a sigh of relief.She is from southern Xinjiang, so she probably doesn't know what the Xuanwu Seal is.

Qin Wange said to Situ Rui: "If the emperor says so, then Su Su will congratulate the emperor."

"Congratulations to me?" Situ Rui was attracted by Qin Wange's novel words, and asked puzzledly, "It's nice of you, I was so angry with Tang Zhongze, but you are here saying congratulations to me."
