"Since we are being honest with each other, tell me now, did you come to wait for me at my door today on your own initiative or on Zhao Xuanji's initiative?" Zhang Biwu asked.
Fu Yuzhi replied sincerely: "It is both my own intention and Mr. Ge's intention."
"That's what he meant."
Zhang Biwu was familiar with Fu Yuzhi's character and knew the truth as soon as he heard these words.
He sneered and said: "I thought about how high-spirited and high-spirited Mr. Ge was back then. I didn't expect that there would be times when he would sink to this level."
Fu Yuzhi frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
"literal meaning."
Zhang Biwu sneered and said: "In the past, he only had others begging for him, fawning over him, and flocking around him. He tried every possible means with one purpose: to please him and gain his appreciation, so that he could embrace him.
Get on this big ship."
"If I had a conflict with him at that time, he would never let you come to me. Even if he did, he would have sent me an imperial edict to dismiss me from office and lose my life."
"But now, I have a conflict with him, but he still hopes that I can go back and continue to work for him, which proves that he is really old and has lost the ability to control all situations."
After Fu Yuzhi listened, he asked a question.
"So Brother Zhang, if it were him before, would you still dare to have a conflict with him?"
This question made Zhang Biwu's face darken, and he became a little angry.
The anger on his lips turned around, but it was not vented. Finally, Zhang Biwu sighed and laughed at himself: "Yes, I am just a clown, someone who adds insult to injury, why should I laugh at him?"
"Brother Zhang, there is a banquet at the old man's house tonight. Just you and me, let's go together. After so many years of colleagues, what can't be said? The past is in the past, and people always have to look forward.
of."
When Fu Yuzhi tried to persuade him again, Zhang Biwu already had a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, Fu Yuzhi immediately stepped up his efforts and said, "When I came here, Mr. Ge told me that he intended to push you to the position of confidential minister vacated by Hu Pi."
It would have been better not to say this. As soon as he said it, Zhang Biwu immediately became furious. He said coldly: "Your Excellency, you have been talking for a long time, do you just want me to do something for you?"
Nowadays, Fu Yuzhi is the provincial minister under his command, and they arranged Zhang Biwu to be this confidential minister, which is the greatest humiliation for Zhang Biwu.
In the cabinet before, he and Fu Yuzhi were on par, and even for many important matters, Zhao Xuanji contacted him directly without going through Fu Yuzhi.
But now asking Zhang Biwu to serve as Fu Yuzhi's subordinate is even more uncomfortable than killing Zhang Biwu.
Fu Yuzhi seemed to have expected such a reaction from Zhang Biwu, and he immediately said: "Brother Zhang, you can't take things at face value. The position of this confidential minister is very important now, and it is just a springboard for you. A man can bend and stretch.
Can’t you bear this little grievance?”
"If you think about it carefully, among the three provinces of the Prince's New Deal, the Shangshu Province is the most important. It is in charge of six ministries and thirteen divisions. This is the unified management of internal affairs, and the secrets of state affairs are controlled by the two ministries of Menxia and Zhongshu.
The two departments are the embodiment of the will of the imperial power and are used to check and balance the Shangshu Province. The three provinces combined formed the original cabinet."
"Mr. Ge is now the Minister of the Shangshu Province, and I am the Minister of the Province. If we cooperate with you, you, a confidential minister, can be the second most important person in the Province."
