As soon as the morning meeting ended, Zhao Guangyi walked away without even saying a word to Yang Hao. It wasn't until he returned to Nanya and sat down in the Qingxin Building that he cursed angrily: "This idiot, he did it all on his own."
You don't want to discuss it with me. Go to Honglu Temple? Go to a place like Honglu Temple to eat and wait to die? Thanks to this king's cultivation, it is really useless!"
Song Qi said in surprise: "Didn't the prince come to court today to ask for merit from Yang Yuanshi? Who is this person who made the prince so angry?"
"It's not that Yang Hao!" Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "Even if the imperial army can't enter, he can still arrange an important task. It's good for him. I don't know who was bewitched him, but he actually asked to be an official in Honglu Temple.
. After entering Honglu Temple, sooner or later he will be polished off and turned into a slippery and incompetent subordinate. Alas! This person is considered useless and all my hard work has been wasted."
Song Qi was stunned after hearing this and murmured to herself: "This man is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid. It's really hard to figure out. So... is the celebration banquet held by the prince tonight for him still necessary?"
Zhao Guangyi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The banquet still has to be held. Even if he is no longer of any use, he must do enough work. No matter what, he has been promoted. No matter what, he is still from my Nanya.
, if there is no one to congratulate me, my Nanya face will not look good. Besides..."
He gritted his teeth and cursed: "When this idiot understands what kind of yamen Honglu Temple is, he will turn around and beg me to transfer him away. By then, this person will still be useful."
Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was unhappy, Song Qi hurriedly picked up some happy things to say, and smiled at him: "Your Majesty, Tang Wei has supervised the construction of a batch of warships in Xiaoxi Lake. The combat power of our navy is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, so on the warships
With more work, Tang Wei hired a large number of skilled craftsmen, and the warships they built had various functions. I went to see it today and saw a small boat specially used to burn the opponent's huge ships. The bow was equipped with iron spikes.
Once nailed into the opponent's hull, it will be impossible to push the hook pole apart. At this time, remove the wedges on the hull, and the second half of the boat can be turned into an independent boat, so that the soldier who set the boat on fire can escape the same way. It is really
Once these large and small warships are unique and have unique uses, they will definitely be of great benefit to our navy."
After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi turned his anger into joy: "Huh! Zhao Pu doesn't want me to be on the side of the imperial army. Hehe, I can still make military achievements without being on the side of the army. Tang Wei is really capable. Let's hold a banquet tonight to honor him."
Please come, these wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen are willing to serve this king just to have someone close to him and to have a backer, so we must not neglect him."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
That night, a banquet was held at the "Qianjin Yixiao Building". All the officials of Nanya's meritorious service and above attended, and many gentry and celebrities were invited, which gave Yang Hao enough face. This trend still needs to be created, because today's court meeting is not
The end of this dispute between the king and the prime minister was the beginning of a full-scale conflict.
"I have tolerated him for ten years, now... it's time to take action!" Zhao Pu looked around at the crowd of confidants and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" A green-robed scholar nodded in agreement: "The emperor's eldest son has grown up, and he is crowned king. He sends the emperor's eldest son to patrol the sky on his behalf. Today, the court also appointed the emperor's eldest son Dezhao as Yu, the former director of the Forbidden Army Palace.
At this time, the official’s intention has been made very clear.”
He smiled slightly and said: "After all, it is a last resort for brothers to marry each other. Now that the emperor's eldest son has grown up and has shown his talents, the official's actions have clearly told us that he will immediately
He is a prince, and this crown prince... is not the emperor's younger brother, but the prince!"
All the staff were gearing up and looking excited. Only a wealthy man sitting under Zhao Pu was stroking his beard and said nothing. Zhao Pu glanced at him and asked, "What do you think, Weng Guo?"
The surname of Hao's wife was Guo Mingyong. Together with Murong Qiuzui, he was Zhao Pu's most trusted right-hand man among the staff of the prime minister's office. At this moment, Murong Qiuzui was not in the capital, so Zhao Pu asked him what he meant.
Guo Yong twirled his beard, frowned and thought hard for a long time, and then said deeply: "My lord, sir, the officials may have the intention of cultivating the King of Wei, but they may not have the intention of overthrowing the King of Jin. The King of Jin has worked hard to manage Kaifeng for many years, and his potential
The power is indeed not small, and it may not be easy to bring down this big tree, especially... Do the officials have this intention? If the officials don't want to touch him, then we will attack with all our strength, which will expose our strength in vain
, arousing the vigilance of the officials, it would be a waste of money."
Zhao Pu was originally a calm-minded person. After hearing what he said, his impulsive mood calmed down a bit. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Pu solemnly asked: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, what should we do?"
Guo Yongdao: "There is no doubt that the official family intends to establish a heir among the heirs. The son inherits the father's inheritance, and the family and country are passed down. This is human nature, and the emperor's family is not exempt from customs. However, the official family's relationship with the brother of the King of Jin
There is no doubt about his feelings. The official family was in its prime, and he was not in a hurry to clear all obstacles for the crown prince. It was also possible that he had not slowly cultivated the plan to let King Wei gradually become more powerful until it was natural. If that was the case, he would not move.
King Jin, we must not ignore this."
Lu Fengxiao, another staff member of the Prime Minister's Office, couldn't help but asked: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, we will continue to tolerate autocratic and domineering people, always overriding our Prime Minister's Office?"
Guo Yong smiled slightly: "Don't be anxious about being a filial piety, that's not what I mean. I think that taking advantage of the official's move to support the prince, Nanya wants to weaken it. But we have to think clearly.
If this stick is hit, will it be a success or failure? What will happen if it succeeds? How to deal with failure? How much force will it take to hit this stick? If even the officials are hurt, then we will definitely fail. What is the most important thing?
We need to find out what the officials are thinking."
Zhao Pudao: "I have been following the official family for many years, and I know the thoughts and tempers of the official family best. The official family has a heart to seduce the King of Jin. You don't have to doubt this. Between brothers and sons, if you want to choose an heir,
The official family will definitely choose the prince. The eldest son of the emperor, Dezhao, has outstanding character and talents. I think the official family will choose him. He is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the legitimate son of the official wife, Queen He.
It is well deserved to inherit the great power."
"Okay!" Guo Yong nodded and said: "Then let's smash it. Next, we have to see how much power King Jin has and how much power we can use here. Either we don't do it or we have to do it.
Knock him down completely, ask him to pack up and leave Nanya, and become a famous and powerful idle king from now on. Only in this way can we avoid future troubles. King Jin has worked hard over the years, and many of his strengths have not been brought to the table. We cannot be careless.
, if you are not very sure, you must have a backup plan to avoid being controlled by it."
Zhao Pu smiled brightly and said: "Over the years, King Jin has indeed used his dual status as Kaifeng Fuyin and Emperor's younger brother to win over some people, but...his status as Kaifeng Fuyin has limited the connections he can make, those low-level people.
No matter how many characters you win over, so what?
Did you speak up to what was said in the court? After knowing that Xue Juzheng and Lu Yuqing were on business, I was the only one who was on the right track and did not dare to interfere with them. As for the privy envoy... Haha, those are my sons and daughters. The third one is the Third Secretary Envoy.
, this official Chu Zhaofu has reached his end, I have recommended Luo Gongming to return to the capital..."
Jiang Chenyi, one of the aides of the Prime Minister's Mansion, grinned as if he had a toothache: "My lord, Luo Gongming, that old fox, is a master who never sees a rabbit but doesn't let an eagle fly. My lord recommended him to return to the capital, so he may not necessarily be grateful for my lordship."
Ende, stand firmly on your husband's side."
Zhao Pu smiled slightly and said: "Luo Gong is wise enough to protect himself, but he is not ignorant of current affairs. I recommend him to return to the capital. At least he will not stand up against me. As long as we overwhelm the King of Jin, at that time, Luo
No matter how reluctant Gongming is, he still has to stretch out a foot and help us step on King Jin."
He looked around at the group of staff, stroking his beard and smiling: "Zhongshu is under the control of the prime minister, and the Privy Council is under the control of the relatives of the prime minister's children. The two offices of Zhongshu and Privy Council control the civil and military power of the Song Dynasty. What's more,
The three envoys who control the financial power are noncommittal. Even if the officials see such momentum, they must make a choice between the stability of the court and the country and the king of Jin. If you were an official, what would you choose?"
"How to choose?" The staff thought for a moment and smiled knowingly.
Zhongshu and Privy Council represent the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are the foundation of the imperial court. Even the emperor, even the Taiping Emperor who has been at peace for a long time after a hundred years of inheritance, would not dare to protect a brother from the Manchu Dynasty.
What's more, this emperor originally intended to weaken his brother's authority and ensure that his son could ascend to the throne smoothly. In this case, the Manchu civil and military officials just asked the emperor to let his brother give up his official position and become his Prince Taiping to ensure that
If the prince can be the crown prince steadily, which emperor would not go along with the situation?
Guo Yongdao: "In that case, we now... must first find the stick that can defeat King Jin."
Zhao Pu smiled and said: "The King of Jin is very cautious in doing things and rarely leaves anyone behind. Although we know about his dealings with courtiers, it is difficult to obtain real evidence about him, let alone the courtiers who accepted or refused bribes from him to come forward to testify."
, I can only have other plans, the truth is calling you here just because I want you to go and try every possible means to get that stick... back to me!"
Watching the staff say goodbye and leave one by one, Zhao Puzhi stood up proudly. Once Zhao Guangyi fell, he was the first person under the emperor, and no one could challenge his authority. Moreover, once the emperor and his courtiers treated him
It will be of no use, and he will still be the first person under the emperor the next time.
He has been waiting for so many years, just waiting for the prince to grow up and waiting for the officials to have the desire to establish a son as a heir. As long as the officials have such a vague intention, that is enough. He will do other things.
Going to do it for the official. Just like... when I was in Chenqiaoyi, I personally put on the yellow robe for him...
