Chapter 577: Two-faced Saint, Zhao Shen closes the door
Shi Hao and Zhang Jun thought for a while, and then headed towards the palace first. As long as they could persuade His Majesty not to have other thoughts, other clowns would not be in their eyes at all!
However, when they arrived at the palace, what happened next made their hearts sink.
"Two prime ministers, the officials are tired today and have already rested.
If something happens, why don't you two prime ministers wait until tomorrow to report it to Your Majesty in court."
At the entrance of the main hall, Wang Quan said respectfully to Zhang Jun and the others.
Zhang Jun's expression changed, "I really want to see your Majesty for something, please go and report it!"
Wang Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has already rested."
Hearing this, Zhang Jun even wanted to break in, but Shi Hao on the side quickly grabbed him and winked!
"Since His Majesty has rested, let's meet again tomorrow.
However, there is something that requires Mr. Wang to go through a lot of trouble!"
Shi Hao said to Wang Quan with a smile.
"The prime minister ordered!"
"The day before yesterday, an old friend from Fuzhou sent me some top-quality Xiao Long Tuan. Your Majesty would like this tea ceremony. Mr. Wang, go with me. How about bringing some back to your Majesty for tasting?
There are a lot of things going on in the court these days, and His Majesty is also upset, so this little cup of tea will relieve His Majesty's worries."
Wang Quan thought for a while and then said, "That's fine, I will thank you on your behalf."
After saying that, Wang Quan turned around and explained to the chamberlain, then followed Zhang Jun and the others to leave the palace and headed towards Shi Hao's residence.
After walking quickly, the three of them entered the Shi's Mansion and directly entered the study.
Then, the door was closed tightly and the three of them sat down opposite each other.
"What do you two prime ministers have to do? If I can help you, please let me know."
Wang Quan said seriously, of course he understood that Shi Hao brought him here not for tea.
Shi Hao and Shi Hao looked at each other, and then made up their mind.
"King Quan, the matter is urgent, I won't beat around the bush.
Now, Shen Tang is in dire straits again, I hope you can help me.
If you agree, then both of us will owe you a great favor. If you don't agree, we won't have much to say. You can just leave, and neither of us will have any blame."
Shi Hao said seriously.
"What?"
Wang Quan's expression changed, "Isn't Shen Zhuangyuan in Chengdu Mansion?
Could it be that the war in Chengdu has changed?"
"What orders do the two prime ministers have? Please tell me! Although I, Wang Quan, am not a perfect person, I still know how to serve the country with loyalty! Shen Zhuangyuan has always been loyal and good. If something happens, our family will help you no matter what."
There wasn’t much contact between Wang Quan and Shen Tang, but he admired Shen Tang very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have secretly helped Shen Tang several times! Moreover, although Wang Quan was an eunuch, he also had a lot of thoughts. , but overall it can be considered loyal.
Even better than some scholars who claim to be loyal and good.
Therefore, when he heard that something was going on in Shen Tang, he immediately spoke up.
"good!"
Zhang Jun patted Wang Quan's arm and said, "I saw you right!"
Going to court today is not a matter of royal authority, and things just happened
"After going to court today, His Majesty did not return directly to the palace, but went to the Supreme Emperor's office first.
Until you left, you had just come back!"
Hearing Wang Quan's words, Shi Hao and the other two also looked surprised!
Normally, when the two of them asked to see each other, Zhao Shen had no reason not to meet him, no matter in terms of status or friendship.
But now, he actually blocked the two of them from the door. Apparently, he guessed the reason why they came.
If Zhao Shen didn't make a decision, or even didn't care about this matter in his heart, he would definitely meet them.
Without seeing them, the only possibility is that Zhao Shen has already made a decision in his heart, and this decision is not good for Shen Tang.
Because of this, Zhao Shen knew that the two of them were Shen Tang's lobbyists, so he simply stayed behind closed doors.
"No, I'll go straight to the palace to face the Holy One!"
Zhang Jun stood up immediately.
Shi Hao quickly stopped him, "Mr. Zhang, now is not the time to be impatient. Since things are not going well, we should think about a countermeasure."
In fact, Zhang Jun's city government and planning were no less than those of Shi Hao and others. However, the matter involved Shen Tang, and even related to Shen Tang's future, so he couldn't help but not be anxious.
“It’s already this time, what countermeasures are there?
By the time we thought of countermeasures, the imperial edict had already been issued, and everything was too late."
Zhang Jun said anxiously.
Wang Quan on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Prime Minister Zhang, if you rush into the palace to see your majesty now, I won't say whether you can see your majesty. Even if you do, it will only arouse your majesty's anger and make things even more unfavorable.
It's better to listen to history and let's sum up one or two first.
Furthermore, Shen Zhuangyuan devoted himself to serving the country and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. Now it is just some speculation. Even if His Majesty has some ideas, there will be no room for change.
If we mess up our position now, we will end up in trouble."
After listening to what the two of them said, Zhang Jun could only stamp his feet bitterly and sit down again.
"It seems that although His Majesty may not necessarily believe what Fang Tianhua said, he has some thoughts after all.
In this case, Shen Tang can no longer stay in Chengdu Mansion."
The three of them were silent for a moment, then Shi Hao suddenly said.
"How can this be done!"
Zhang Jun immediately retorted, "You also know the situation in Chengdu Prefecture. If Shen Tang leaves, who can pacify Chengdu Prefecture?
Even if I go there in person, I still don’t have any confidence."
Shi Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, now is not the time to think about Chengdu Mansion's affairs. If Shen Tang continues to stay, His Majesty's thoughts will become more serious and it will harm Shen Tang.
Now, only Shen Tang can retreat to advance, in order to solve the current catastrophe.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, even if Shen Tang is loyal and good, it will be difficult to be kind if there are treacherous and sycophantic people in it."
"You and I both know that Shen Tang is responsible for everything in Chengdu Mansion, including Lian Licheng! Humph, those people don't even think about it. If Shen Tang had not been a special person, would Lian Licheng be as glorious as it is now?
In this case, let Shen Tang retreat to the end.
Hand over the military power in your hands, and even the city of Licheng.
And take advantage of this period of time to find a way to re-establish trust between Shen Tang and His Majesty. When the matter cannot be resolved, Shen Tang will take action to save the situation.
At that time, what can others say?
Even His Majesty can't say anything."
When Wang Quan heard this, he nodded calmly, "Yes, Xiang Shi's method is the safest."
sp;Shi Hao gave a bitter smile, "Prime Minister Zhang, now is not the time to think about Chengdu Mansion's affairs. If Shen Tang continues to stay, His Majesty's thoughts will become more serious, and it will harm Shen Tang."
Now, only Shen Tang can retreat to advance, in order to solve the current catastrophe.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, even if Shen Tang is loyal and good, it will be difficult to be kind if there are treacherous and sycophantic people in it."
"You and I both know that Shen Tang has no solution to the problems in Chengdu Mansion, including that of Lianli City! Humph, those people don't even think about it. If Shen Tang had not been special, how could Lianli City be as glorious as it is now?
In this case, let Shen Tang retreat to the end.
Hand over the military power in your hands, and even the city of Licheng.
And take advantage of this period of time to find a way to re-establish trust between Shen Tang and His Majesty. When the matter cannot be resolved, Shen Tang will take action to save the situation.
