Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 457 Moving to the South 9
"Juemin is away and doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. Well, let's not talk about it, brothers. Come on this festive day, let's have a drink with you and my brother." Wang Xiu really didn't want to go off topic, so I might as well He and Fan Zongyin are on fire, so as to deepen their relationship with each other again.

"What's the matter with Wenshi?" Fan Zongyin Duanbei said lightly, but the taste was a thousand words.

Wang Xiu smiled and said coolly: "What Juemin said is that I think I should go to the funeral too, please."

Fan Zongyin seemed to think of something, his face changed a few times, and he hurriedly took a cup to hide his embarrassment.

The next day, the Chuigong Hall
"Your Majesty, my lords, the Ai family is a woman, and should not be in charge of the court. But the royal family was dusty, and the emperor went to the north to hunt, so he had to listen to the government under the imperial edict. But he dared not specialize in state affairs. Today, the scholars are on the table, and Tokyo is facing the north. The rivers north and east of the river are not controlled by me for the time being, and I want to ask the emperor to be happy with Jiangning in the south, because the Ai family can't make a decision, please discuss together."

Zhu Lian was talking behind the jade curtain, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Xiu, and his mood was particularly gloomy.With the return of King Kang and a large number of important ministers sent abroad, the power of the temple has changed significantly. It is true that Wang Xiu still has an absolute advantage, but it is mainly military power, which cannot absolutely guarantee the smooth passage of the resolution of the two governments.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you." Li Gang came out of the class and glanced at Wang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, has been appointed to know the imperial edict. It is already a rare honor to be in charge of internal and external edicts, since the founding of the country, it has been a rule to lead the five roads to promulgate and appease, please Your Majesty make a holy judgment."

As soon as these words came out, most of the ministers from the two governments and the six ministries of the Shangshu who were present at the scene nodded secretly. Li Gang said that they were depressed, and it was considered to relieve the suffocation these days.Of course, some people also secretly laughed at Li Gang's Yulu, this outcropping bird is very cool, he is the biggest contributor to King Qin's rescue, and now the captives have retreated, but the crisis has not been resolved, the knife is a bit too early.

Wang Xiu sneered, who would have thought that Li Gang would take the lead in attacking him, and directly cut his power by more than half, Nima, it's too bullying, where are you in the bloody battle between Lao Tzu and Jin Jun?Now there are five people and six people standing up, where is the fruit, it is simply snatching, he said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Li said, the minister deeply agrees."

Li Gang and the other ministers in the palace, including Zhao Gou, seemed to be taken aback. No one thought that Wang Xiu would second Li Gang. Everyone felt that it was unreasonable. Everyone was secretly speculating, what is Wang Xiu's purpose?The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange.

"Yesterday, the bachelor asked to resign from the envoy of the Five Routes Xuanfu, and mentioned a memorial to the four walls of the capital. The Ai family has been hesitant and can't be arbitrary. Since Li Qing's family is invited today, let's discuss it!"

Zhu Lian's words broke the silence in the hall. Some people, Monk Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out and couldn't help booing each other.Li Gang's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Wang Xiu very rudely.

Qin Hui glanced at Li Gang contemptuously, and smiled ironically. Zhao Gou was at the head of the courtiers, with a serious expression on his face, as if the affairs in the palace had nothing to do with him.Only Zhang Qiyuan's eyelids twitched, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "What a golden cicada escapes its shell, Wang Dalang is really a good planner!"

Wang Xiu didn't care what others thought, he looked indifferent, and said calmly: "When the captives besieged the city, for the safety of the country, the minister Dian was in charge of defending the capital and defending the emperor. It was really a last resort. Now that the peace talks are initially settled, the world is gradually calming down. , The minister’s allotment of soldiers violated the imperial system, and the minister did not have a day to sleep and eat in peace, fearing that the world would discuss it, so he wrote a letter asking to stop the army, and hope your majesty will approve."

"What do you guys think of the invitation of Xueshi Wang?" Zhu Lian's voice was a little cold, and even a little angry.

"My lord Wang has contributed to ZTE and set up a role model for all ages." Sun Fu was surprised at first, and then respected. After all, not everyone can resist the temptation. Wang Xiu, who has gone to the military power, is definitely a promising minister he wants to support .

Tang Ge casually glanced at Wang Xiu, and saw that slightly haggard face was so calm, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no matter whether Wang Xiu's resignation was a strategy or sincerity, it was heartbreaking It's bold, and I believe few people can do it.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhang Shuye also had the same mood as Sun Fu. He felt a sense of misunderstanding and guilt towards Wang Xiu, but he was still happy to see Wang Xiu's request to lift his military power. After all, an orthodox minister, It is because he does not want to see a situation where the minister is strong and the master is weak, especially a minister like Wang Xiu who is well-known all over the world and whose reputation is increasing rapidly.

"Your Majesty, I think it is absolutely impossible to do it all."

This unusual tone appeared in the court hall, causing all the officials to look sideways at it, and everyone's eyes were almost focused on Qin Hui.

It's time!Qin Hui didn't even look at the officials on both sides. He decided to make another gamble for his future future at this appropriate time. Although there were often many uncertainties in the future, he felt that his decision was still valuable.

Because the truth is in the hands of a few people, Wang Xiu will never be aimless, there is only one possibility, and that is to retreat to advance.It is conceivable that Wang Xiu, who gave up his military power, already has the political capital and prestige to compete with Sun Fu, Tang Ge and others, and it is precisely his strong support that is needed.

"My lord Wang has the merits of Zhongxing. Although he is extremely humble, I think it is reasonable to dismiss Xuan Fu, but as an auxiliary minister, it is really inappropriate not to enter the two governments."

Those sophisticated people suddenly understood that Qin Hui was showing favor to Wang Xiu on the premise of not offending the ministers, why didn't he think of it.There was not a single fool present, Qin Hui's thoughts were not secretive, it can even be said that everyone could have thought of it, but they didn't think about it, and only realized it after being reminded, what a mistake!

"Your Majesty Wang resigned from his position as governor, and would like to abide by the ancestral system of dismissing soldiers and returning to the province. However, since ancient times, ministers have been in charge of assisting the government. May I ask why Hanlin bachelors are ranked as assistant government? The draft edict is true, but the officials are really afraid that they will be above the heroes of Jingnan, and they are afraid that the army and the people will doubt it, and it will be discussed at home!"

There was silence in the hall, and the silence made people feel uncomfortable. Zhang Qiyuan frowned slightly with a calm expression on his face.yes!Wang Xiu is resigning, but he is a hero of Jing Nan, and he has a high prestige in King Qin's army. It is really chilling not to enter the two mansions. Show off the riches and honor.

Even he felt that it was difficult to handle. Wang Xiu's move was too fierce, and he was willing to give in when he made great achievements. Now he has to be persuaded by others.

"How can I be in power, I hope Your Majesty will approve." Wang Xiu broke the silence, and said in a loud voice: "Looking at the sea, King Chenqin is just a matter for a minister, and it is not worth mentioning. The year of the minister is only He has been established and funded for less than ten years, and now he is suddenly promoted to Xuanfu of the Hanlin, and he is in the imperial court with the world's famous ministers and great scholars. "

"Bachelors, don't be humble! With the merits and talents of a bachelor, it is more than enough to enter the two houses." Tang Ge's mouth trembled when he spoke. Li Gang, who showed off his military power, had his face slapped.

In fact, everyone understood that once Wang Xiu was relieved of his military power, it would be absolutely impossible for him to rely on his merits to not enter the two governments. Their strife with Wang Xiu was nothing more than adhering to the court's laws, not a personal criticism of Wang Xiu.On the contrary, I still appreciate Wang Xiu's talent and bearing, and think that Wang Xiu is the talent of the prime minister.

If Wang Xiu really only wanted to be an Imperial Academy, the people of Kaifeng would not scold the important ministers of the two governments to death!What would those generals who worked hard for the king think?Wang Xiu is related to the future of a large number of powerful generals, this is no joke.

Of course, several important ministers have a deeper consideration, that is, the vested interests they have obtained after the chaos.Wang Xiu held the five-way Xuanfu envoy in Hanlin, and he could say that he did not enter the two governments for the time being, but the resignation of the five-way Xuanfu and not entering the two governments undoubtedly declared the collapse of the auxiliary government system. The ministers who were abroad returned to Beijing one after another. A power struggle is about to unfold.

They sit back and watch the emperor be dusted and unable to return to heaven. Compared with the powerful faction in the field king, their achievements and prestige are not enough to compete. Instead, they forcibly share their vested interests.What's more, once the auxiliary government system disintegrates, it may cause the internal court to rule. Although the emperors of the previous dynasties have experienced the queen mother to listen to the government, it is after all a temporary system under the control of the civil officials of the external court.

The intelligence shown by Zhu Lian really made the courtiers feel that he was capable, which was even worse than that of the Empress Dowager Liu in the Renzong Dynasty.Only by maintaining the existing government system can it be possible to grasp the existing power, prevent external forces from sharing power, and prevent the occurrence of the internal dynasty's rule. The key point falls on Wang Xiu.

The minister in Beijing is very embarrassing, but there is no difference in Wang Xiu's ears. The only difference is that the arrogance of the powerful faction outside Beijing has been destroyed. Once Wang Xiu enters the two governments, a fixed pattern will be formed. The minister in Beijing will firmly hide his own interests. .

Politics is so ridiculous sometimes. At a critical point, the distribution of benefits has prompted several important ministers, ministers, and ministers of the two governments to support Wang Xiu's entry into the two governments and speak hard for him.

Facing Wang Xiu, Sun Fu said in a gentle voice: "A bachelor has turned the tide, protected the emperor from danger, and presided over the peace talks between the north and the south. He has done a great job! Now that the major events have been finalized, a bachelor is still needed." But I don't feel good in my heart. You have been slapped in the face, and you still have to speak up for the person who slapped you. Can you not feel aggrieved?

Zhang Shuye also nodded slowly, and said: "It's only natural for a bachelor to enter the two mansions."

The drastic change in the attitudes of the important ministers of the two governments, Wang Xiu knew very well that they were nothing more than wanting to protect their own vested interests. He was funny but understood these things.Which of the most sage and virtuous ministers in the past has no dark side, even a treacherous sycophant, there is also a moment when his humanity shines.
