Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 459 Moving to the South 11
"Bachelors don't have to be overly humble, I just discuss things based on facts. With the talent of a bachelor, he can serve as an Hanlin for three years, go abroad for three years in a large county, and return to the imperial court for another two years. After seven years, he deserves to be ranked in the two prefectures. However, things There is a priority, given the current situation, it is necessary to temporarily stay in the capital." Li Gang said lightly.

Where he should not speak bluntly, he revealed too bluntly, which surprised the ministers present even more. Even his friends secretly accused him of being talkative, ignorant of current affairs, and making false remarks about whether the ministers would stay or not. To put it badly, he was arrogant.You know, Wang Xiu has been from Liguo to the present. He has experienced prefectures and counties, served as a cabinet secretary, and led the army several times without any disadvantages. The slightest procrastination, this kind of person can be pointed out by others?It's a joke in the world.

However, Wang Xiu was shocked by Li Gang's words from the bottom of his heart. Although the words were not pleasant and seemed inappropriately naive, the words were eloquent, which made him secretly admire that he definitely did not have Li Gang's upright character.Because he could hear Li Gang's sincerity, absolutely no other intentions.

"Since this is the case, Wang Qing's family should not refuse any more. Dismiss the Xuanfu envoy, mention something about the four walls of the capital, except for Shangshu Sheng Shangshu Zuocheng, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences will take the decree. Li Gangling will be removed from the Kaifeng government affairs , wrote about Tongzhi’s Privy Council affairs, moved to the silver doctor Qing Guanglu, Fan Zongyin eliminated Zhongshu Sheren and judged provincial affairs, Zhang Qiyuan eliminated the Baohe Palace servant system, and had the right to test the household minister.” After Zhu Lian finished speaking, he said to Sun Fu: "What do you think the prime minister wants?"

Everyone was a little uncomfortable with Zhu Lian's quick cutting of messes. They didn't expect that a girl would be so decisive, and she should be decisive without delay.

Li Gang knew the affairs of the Privy Council together, which could balance the power of the ministers, let the forces entering Beijing get a seat to participate in decision-making, and let Li Gang be in charge of the cardinal, alleviating the contradiction between the ministers.Dr. Qianyin Qing Guanglu made Li Gang's rank higher than Zhang Shuye's, which eased the embarrassment of being under Zhang Shuye, and also allowed the two to check each other so that the Privy Council would not be dominated by one family.

The appointment of Fan Zongyin enabled the power of ministers entering the capital to control the Ministry of Education and balanced the loss of certain interest groups.As for Geng Nanzhong, Zhu Lian didn't consider at all the betrayal of this former minister from Conglong, Geng Nanzhong when he was in distress. She deeply hated his poor character and disdain to appoint him.The irony is that regarding Geng Nanzhong, the courtiers have an astonishingly unanimous idea that this person must not be reused, and it is better to promote the palace.

As Zhao Huan's confidant, Zhu Lian certainly didn't like Zhang Qiyuan, but he also gave him face. not bad.

"I have no objection." What Sun Fu could say, Zhu Lian's arrangement was indeed very suitable.

"Well, if you have no objection from your family, then let's draft an edict from the Academy of Sciences!"

Wang Xiu was in a daze. As the imperial academy, he was the one who had received the decree and knew the edict. In fact, he was the Quanzhi Academy. He should have drafted the edict, but his appointment was included in the edict, which made him look embarrassed.Even if he entered the two prefectures and was in charge of the Academy of Sciences, the family law of the ancestors of the Zhao family is still a bit violated, and there are few cases, but no one cares about it, because he has made great concessions, and it is wrong to make irresponsible remarks. It's close to human.

The expected and hasty power distribution and checks and balances ended peacefully under Zhu Lian's decisive and orderly auspices.

Regarding the issue of the emperor Nan Xing, no one took the initiative to touch it, or he was not in the mood. What everyone cared most about was the redistribution of power between the two governments, and what kind of benefits they could get. For the ministers, it seems irrelevant. Anyway, the emperor is going to make a tour, so there is no way to talk about it, at least the ministers present think so.

After announcing his resignation, Qing Jun stood beside Zhu Lian, saw Zhu Lian looking at Wang Xiu's back with a smile, and whispered to himself: "Stupid!"

It's night, Wang Xiu's mansion

"Uncle Li's record is really hateful!"

Wang Xiu's appointment has not been announced since the palace meeting discussed matters, so there is no need to go to Dutang to be on duty.That night Qin Hui visited him in the mansion, he was mentally prepared for Qin Hui's arrival, but Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin came to visit hand in hand, which was beyond his expectation.All the ministers above the main hall insisted on speaking for themselves, especially Qin Hui. It can be said that Qin Hui began to draw closer politically, and saying some things in front of Qin Hui could increase the trust between the two parties.

Qin Hui didn't make a sound, just nodded his head slightly to show his approval. For him, excluding Wang Xiu's motivation to take credit for the master, and establishing a solid political alliance with Wang Xiu, it can even be said that he is politically attached to Wang Xiu, can serve the country well. He brings great benefits.

Wang Xiu was about to take the position of Shangshu Zuocheng, and he was above him, so he could reluctantly accept it. It could even be said that it was his wish. With Wang Xiu's prestige, his position in the court was above him, which was absolutely justifiable.

Li Gang is not very high in his evaluation of the ministers of the DPRK and China. He admires Li Gang's straightforwardness and uprightness, but he disapproves of Li Gang's arrogance, pedantry, and ignorance of current affairs, not to mention the return of Li Gang and others. To the distribution of power between the DPRK and China.He is very soberly aware that there is an undercurrent between the ruling and opposition parties.

Without the pressing force of Li Gang and others, they could force Wang Xiu to hand over military power in a short period of time. Wang Xiu seems to have a soft spot for Hanlin scholars, and has no great interest in entering the Ministry of Shangshu.As long as Wang Xiu enters the Ministry of Ministers a few years later, he is likely to become a member of Tong Zhongshu's family. Li Gang's troubles forced the auxiliary ministers to invite Wang Xiu to enter the Ministry of Ministers in advance. It can be said that his chances of becoming prime minister are very slim .

Hate, he hated Li Gang to death!
However, Fan Zongyin had a different mood, remembering that when he was serving as a censor in the official residence, he was like a leader among young officials. Although Wang Xiudang was talented and famous, he was far behind him.Now, he is a famous minister of Zhongxing, and he will be in power again. His reputation is so high and his prestige is so high.

Although Zhongshu Sheren and Judgment are the actual highest officials of Zhongshu Province, they were appointed by the Queen Mother to balance the contradictions among the ministers.His tenure as Zhongshusheren will certainly not be too long. As the situation becomes more and more stable, the contradictions among ministers of various factions will inevitably intensify again, and he will be the first to bear the brunt.

Now, the only thing that is beneficial to him is his old friendship with Wang Xiu.It's really helpless to think about relying on Wang Xiu's big ship to keep your position.

"Brother Hui, my younger brother has offended the king and the others." Fan Zongyin said bluntly, which made Wang Xiu and Qin Hui startled.

Qin Hui could only respond with an ironic smile to Fan Zongyin's words. He understood that if Fan Zongyin wanted to gain a firm foothold, getting closer to Wang Xiu was the best strategy. It is not difficult to understand such straightforward words.

"Juemin's words are wrong! We serve the people of the world, how can we offend?" Qin Hui was still not sure about Wang Xiu's attitude, so he could only say some superficial words to cover it up.

"Brother Hui said that you and I have to work together to assist the emperor, and don't mess up your own position because of some trivial matters." Wang Xiu's tone was still flat, but exciting.Although he did not expressly woo, but the heart of wooing is clear.

Fan Zongyin didn't have a thorough understanding of Wang Xiu's future direction. What he wanted was to please both sides, no one would be offended, and he wanted to gain real benefits from the court wrestling.

Qin Hui is not the case. As the main minister of war, he enjoys a high reputation today. For him, Wang Xiu is definitely a good ally. In terms of maintaining the auxiliary government system, it is indeed necessary to bind him.He even has a good relationship with many ministers who have returned to Beijing. No matter which side is in power, he has a place.

"What Wen Shi said is that the emperor Nan Xing, I agree very much." Fan Zongyin said, and suddenly saw a meaningful taste flashing in Qin Hui's eyes, and he immediately understood that he was very ignorant of current affairs.

As we all know, judging from the current situation, Nanxing is an inevitable move. Most of the ministers have a clear understanding of the southward migration. The reason for their opposition is that Wang Xiu has military power in his hands, and he is coercing the emperor to order the princes.Now, Wang Xiu has given up his military power. At this time and place, it can be said that it is extremely inappropriate for him to discuss this matter in front of Wang Xiu.

When Fan Zongyin was embarrassed, Wang Xiu said: "Juemin has a very good heart. Now the north of the river is full of fishy smell. The emperor temporarily lives in the east of the river to avoid its sharp edge. He will recharge his energy and recharge his batteries in the future. When the royal family recovers their lost land, they will drink Huanglong .”

Although Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin were not optimistic about the future drawn by Wang Xiu and didn't think too much about it, they were still touched.

"Good ambition!" Qin Hui praised.

"I haven't comprehended my brother's tea art for a long time. I'll wait for my brother to get together. Can I let my younger brother see the elegant skills." Wang Xiu didn't expect them to understand, so she turned the conversation aside.

Qin Hui frowned, and said with a smile: "I haven't done it for a long time, but I feel a lot less familiar."

"Brother Hui, why bother to be humble, brother here has all the items, and Brother Hui insists on not performing skills, wouldn't it be cold to our minds."

Amidst the bursts of tea fragrance, Wang Xiu looked at Qin Hui's skillful tea cooking skills with a smile, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled from time to time.

A political alliance, perhaps temporary, was proclaimed amidst the tea mist, without any affectation, let alone any words.The three of them are very aware of the need for their alliance, and even more clear that if one day they need it, the other party will mercilessly subvert this covenant.

Of course, Wang Xiu didn't want such a day to come. Although Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin were in Wang Xiulai's time and space, one was an eternal villain who everyone scolded, and the other was a jester who advocated peace and was jealous of the capable. History has changed due to Wang Xiu's participation, and they have lost the soil to become traitors and mediocrities.

History is often full of astonishing variables. Wang Xiu has always believed that there is no absolute history, and people are not absolutely good or bad. They are all sketched out by future generations according to the needs of the times. To establish a more sustainable system.
