"The crux lies here!" Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "Lao Longtu knows better than me why the imperial court adopted the New Deal twelve years ago. It is because at that time, the country's many problems had reached the point where they could no longer be cured.
.But in the hands of the officials, the New Deal has flourished, and the problem has not been solved. I would like to ask Lao Longtu, now more than ten years have passed, do you think those problems have been reduced, worsened, or remain the same?"
"The politics of the imperial court are relatively clear. If we are lucky and there are no natural disasters or wars, we can still maintain it."
"Then we just leave it to fate."
"This is already the best situation." Bao Zheng sighed deeply and said with a worried look on his face: "Sanlang, to tell you the truth, the situation is worse than you can imagine. Even today's official family, at most
In ten years, trouble will break out."
"If the authentic official family is like this, what will happen if it is replaced by a weakened version?" Chen Ke said solemnly: "So I say, if he only has this ability, he will be at the helm of this old empire that is full of worries. He will definitely do it.
On the rocks!"
"Zhong Fang is biased. You just said, 'Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.' How could you not know that there is another saying, 'The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors.'" Bao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "In his situation, it is actually very difficult.
Embarrassing. He is very talented, but his performance is only five points, or even three points. He is not fully satisfied, and naturally there is no conclusion."
"There is a folk method called 'Lead a mule or a horse out for a run.'" Chen Ke said leisurely: "The imperial court has a rule that 'no one can be appointed as a minister without being the local governor'. Even if you are a new scholar, you need to practice in the local area first."
.To assess their capabilities before making appointments. Why do you have to rely on luck when it comes to choosing the foundation of a country?"
"Hahaha..." Bao Zheng laughed and said: "You mean, let the officials give him an official job first to test his ability?"
"Why not? A clan like theirs has all kinds of false positions. The court only needs to change it to actual awards and order them to go to work in local places." Chen Ke said without realizing it, "On the one hand, it can make people work in different places."
As he increases his practical experience, he will not ask, "Why not eat minced meat?" On the other hand, you can also examine his administrative ability and understand his governing policy. To say the least, if there is a dragon son in the official family in the future, or he is not suitable
The imperial court only needs to order him to continue serving as an official in the local area and not allow him to return to the capital. This will not damage anyone's face and will have the least impact on the imperial government."
In fact, Chen Ke had a more reliable strategy, but he was talking about establishing a throne, and he showed careful consideration. It was obviously harmful and unhelpful. Anyway, he only needed to express one point of view, and using immature methods was enough.
"Although your method is unrealistic." Bao Zheng thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "But at least it has awakened me. The choice of the future prince is related to the future of the country and must not be rushed!"
"Yes, don't be in a hurry!" Chen Ke nodded heavily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the same starry sky, Han Mansion and Han Qi's study are located outside Xihua Gate.
Mr. Han Xianggong had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. He was woken up from bed. But it was not until he was dressed neatly and energetic that he went to the study to see Prince Runan.
"The old prince came late at night." After taking a seat, Han Qi said calmly: "But he is not afraid of being criticized."
"I don't care about that much anymore," Zhao Yunrang still looked half-dead, and said with a wry smile: "As the saying goes, 'more children, more grandchildren, more enemies'. What can I do if I have given birth to some troublesome ancestors?
"
"There is also a saying called 'If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a family man'." Han Qi pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "There are some things that you should just turn a blind eye to. They are going to make trouble. If the old prince
If everyone has to worry about it, there will be no leisure for a while."
Although this sentence was deliberately said randomly, Zhao Yunrang was very emotional and lamented: "The Book of Songs says, 'I am sorry for my parents, who worked hard to give birth to me'. Parents are born to owe their children, what can you do?"
In just a short moment, he had already said "What can I do" twice, and Han Qi knew that he was asking for help, so she looked at him without saying a word.
Zhao Yunrang was also looking at Han Qi, waiting for him to finish a sentence or a half to introduce the topic. But Han Xianggong just sat upright with his beard twisted, as if he was listening attentively.
It is not surprising that Zhao Yunrang knew that he did not want to wade into this muddy water. Because a top minister like Han Qi did not need to take sides... No matter who became emperor in the future, they would need to rely on him and even please him.
And when an official reaches the top level, no matter how much credit he has, it is difficult to make substantial progress. Making suggestions and establishing a reserve will offend the official family. In the future, when someone else becomes the emperor, he will have to live with it.
No one else would do such a high-risk, low-reward thing.
This is also the reason why Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others never got involved in the dispute over the establishment of a reserve.
But Zhao Yunrang had to drag him into the water, not because of today's crisis. He believed that Wang Su, Tang Jie and Fan Zhen were enough to convince Bao Zheng. The reason why he came to ask Han Qi for help was actually because he wanted to take the opportunity to bring him down.
Pull up your own chariot.
Because only with the protection of ministers of this magnitude can Thirteen’s road to the top in the future be smooth.
"Xiangong Han's son strives for success and cannot understand my troubles." Zhao Yun let himself laugh and said: "Then let's talk about something else."
"Your Majesty came to me in the middle of the night, and it was not just for chatting." Han Qi said lightly, which can make people choke to death.
"Mr. Han." Zhao Yunrang sighed, "I am so honest with you, why are you so guarded? I am just a father who runs all night for his arrested son. This is human nature, and no one can say anything about it.
What happened?"
How could Han Qi not know the truth? But if he kept pretending, he would have his identity. He sat upright and said, "What does the prince want to say?"
"What I want to say is that a few days ago," Zhao Yunrang said quietly, "an assassination occurred near Lanmao Street. The murderer used a military crossbow, and the target was a boy named Chen."
"I heard something." Han Qi said calmly.
"This is a strange thing. Many people guessed that it was my boy who did it. But no matter how bold they are, they would not dare to kill people with bows and crossbows. In fact, there are people who deliberately want to fish in troubled waters and blame Jia Changchao, Xianggong Jia, but they want my son to do it for them."
He took the blame because he had a good plan." Zhao Yunrang coughed twice, looked at Han Qi with cold eyes and said, "Mr. Han, who do you think this person could be?"
Han Qi stopped talking. He was indeed the mastermind behind the Blue Hat Street assassination incident. Zhao Yunrang was right. He just wanted to fish in troubled waters and drive Jia Changchao out of the center so that he could go back and become the Privy Councilor. After a long silence, Han Qi finally
He said, "What do you want me to do?"
There was no winner's smile on Zhao Yunrang's face, but a look of heartbreaking sadness: "This old man's disease cannot be cured for a long time, I'm afraid he won't be able to live for a few more years..."
"..." Han Qi pursed his lips and listened to him continue: "If you die, you will die. No one has that day. I just don't worry about my family. Mr. Han, can you continue to take care of him for me after I die?"
These words were said suddenly, but the listener's heart jumped suddenly - this was to make Zhao Zongshi regard him as his father-in-law! This is not an ordinary relationship between monarch and minister. If Zhao Zongshi can successfully become emperor, then he will
It is an invincible existence!
The temptation was so strong that Mr. Han, who had always been bold, could not help but be tempted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhao Yunrang did this after careful consideration. First of all, he did not lie to Han Qi. His body really could not last much longer. Without a backer for Zhao Zongshi, he would not be stable under Jiuquan. He chose among the important ministers, and he chose him.
Han Qi. In fact, Wen Yanbo is a better choice, but the old man has lost the emperor's trust. Although it is usually fine, the more critical the moment, the easier it is to lose control, so he cannot choose.
As for Fu Bi, he was a virtuous gentleman who was loyal to the emperor and valued his own conscience. What's more, he was about to take over as prime minister, and he couldn't count on either emotion or reason.
Only Han Qi has top-notch abilities, connections, and reputation, and has a strong desire for power. Now that such a person is wronged in the position of the Third Secretary, there is the possibility of wooing him.
Sure enough, after some thinking, Mr. Han nodded slightly and said: "Okay."
"I will never forget Mr. Han's kindness, and neither will my son." Zhao Yunrang burst into laughter, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I'll be counting on you in the future!"
"Let's not talk about the future." Now that he has taken over this business, Han Qi stepped into the role and said coldly: "Let's talk about it after we get through the current situation."
"Hey." This is the cleverness of Zhao Yunrang. I don't ask you to do anything, I will take care of you. Then my son's business is your business, so there is no need to waste words.
"Why did you let Zhao Zonghan get involved with the gang?"
"I have twenty-eight sons..." Zhao Yunrang said helplessly: "I can't even remember their names, let alone what they do."
"Since we have many sons." Han Qi is a ruthless character. He is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others: "Then just pretend that he doesn't have that son."
"This..." Zhao Yun let his throat tremble and said bitterly: "As for this?"
"He fell into Lao Bao's hands and still wanted to run away?" Han Qi sneered: "As a father, you can't escape the fault of lax discipline. And by extension, the other children you educate will not be able to let others go.
satisfy."
"This is an example." Zhao Yunrang panicked and said: "The nine sons of a dragon are different. What's more, among my dozens of children, there is no one who is unworthy."
"A grain of mouse droppings appeared in a pot of porridge. You said that except for the mouse droppings, the porridge is clean. Who believes it? Who would drink it?" Han Qi said ruthlessly: "Old prince, it is natural to protect the calf, but don't
If you even protect your unworthy son, it will harm your good boy."
