Returning to the Jixian Prime Minister's room opposite Han Qi, there were no outsiders in the room, and Wen Yanbo's face showed anger!
Wen Yanbo had nothing to do with Han Qi's distribution, because it was exactly the same as his original division of power with Fu Bi.
The only difference is that what Fu Bi got at that time is what he gets now. But with Fu Bi's indifference and forbearance, even if he felt unhappy, he would not quarrel with him.
But am I, Wen Yanbo, the kind of person who is quiet and forbearing? Otherwise, I would stay in Luoyang with Fu Bi and roam around the forest.
Thinking of Fu Bi, he recalled the conversation at Fu Bi's house half a month ago...
"Brother Xian, let me ask you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully." Fu Bi looked at Wen Yanbo and said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, where will the current situation of the court go?"
Wen Yanbo's heart moved. He asked such a serious question. It was obvious that they had important matters to discuss. He said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we will break up."
"Oh, Brother Xian's view is indeed unique," Fu Bi said with a half-smile, "but now both the government and the public believe that the overall situation is settled, and there will be no trouble."
"Jiao Liang?" Wen Yanbo said with a faint smile: "Brother Yan Guo thinks so too?"
"You asked me about it instead." Fu Bi also smiled lightly and said, "But it doesn't hurt to answer you. I have a similar view to yours."
Wen Yanbo secretly thought, I guessed it right,,,,,if he really thought that Fu Bi was the kind of crappy guy who could be swayed by others with just a few words, then he would be underestimating the great Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty and even more insulting his own wisdom.
In fact, Wen Yanbo had already guessed that Fu Bi was trying to avoid the troubles in Bianjing City.
"Brother Yan Guo, where is the chaos?" Wen Yanbo said: "Now someone from Han in the center is covering the sky with one hand. His Highness is trapped in Jiangxi again. No matter how you look at it, the overall situation is determined."
"You old ghost just said that you want to become one." Fu Bi laughed hoarsely and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, but most people are just confused by the authorities."
"Oh?" Wen Yanbo was a little surprised. He realized that although Fu Bi and he had the same judgment, their arguments were different. In Wen Yanbo, because he knew the true power of Zhao Zongji, he was actually unscathed, but was forced by someone all the time.
He only seemed so weak...Although Ouyang Xiu had a close relationship with Chen Tian, ββhe was not a party to Zongji. This truly loyal minister became the first victim of this war.
However, Fu Bi looked at this issue from a higher perspective.
Just listen to him say slowly: "Many people are talking about the official in private, saying that he ignores the country for his own selfishness and has been unwilling to establish a prince, which has led to the frequent instability and chaos in people's hearts today."
"I've heard this saying too." Wen Yanbo nodded.
"Actually, what the ministers said was only half of what they said - what they really complained about was the delay in establishing the crown prince of Qingling County." Fu Bi looked at Wen Yanbo and said, "My dear brother, I think you have the same intention, right?"
Wen Yanbo had no choice but to say: "Prince Qingling's appearance, talent, and academic bearing are indeed outstanding among the princes. His personality is tolerant and gentle, much like an official. Everyone is used to living well under the rule of a benevolent king, so they all want him to succeed him."
Bit."
"I'm asking what you mean, brother Xian." Fu Bi said reluctantly.
"This,,,," Wen Yanbo sweated on his forehead. This is what Fu Bi really wants to know! But can you say this casually? If it doesn't agree with Fu Bi's ideas, everything must be over. But if
If you deceive him, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Shilin in the future. This is the power of a gentleman!
No information could be seen from Fu Bi's face, which made his ability to observe people's emotions useless. In an instant, Wen Yanbo thought several times and finally decided to take a gamble:
"Thanks to the great blessings of the official family and the economy of brother Yan Guo, the world has been peaceful for a long time. It has been more than ten years without war. The country is prosperous and the people are prosperous. The signs of a prosperous age have begun to appear..."
"My dear brother, you don't have to take care of my face." Fu Bi said with a self-deprecating smile: "Looking at the history books, how can there be a prosperous age when strong enemies are on the side, and we can seek peace and pay tribute? How can there be a prosperous age when the national treasury has been growing continuously and cannot make ends meet? It's just relying on this.
The weather has been good for a few years, but Liao and Xia have their own troubles. After only a few years of peace, do you dare to call it a prosperous age? Anyway, I am not that shameless!"
"Haha, of course, in the prosperous age, there are also many hidden dangers. Wen Tian's martial arts play has many shortcomings and needs to be rectified. However, this is beyond the power of ministers. It requires the concerted efforts of everyone!" Wen Yanbo also simply let go and said in a deep voice:
"Therefore, if we want to revolutionize the old and create a new one, and eliminate the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty, the candidates for succession must meet three major conditions. First, they must be wise and wise. Only by being wise and wise can they understand today's critical situation and make decisions to prescribe the right medicine. But they must have a strong will.
Only by being determined can you be brave and courageous, overcome difficulties and be determined not to steal!"
"Yes." Fu Bi's eyes lit up and he nodded, indicating for him to continue.
"Third..." Wen Yanbo said slowly: "You should try to have as little involvement as possible with ministers and relatives. The more involvement you have, the more ties you will have. How can you cheer up?"
"Oh..." Fu Bi's eyes flashed and he said: "These three of you seem to have hit the weak spot of Prince Qingling." I looked on with cold eyes. This is why the officials have been reluctant to store it - this is the reason.
!, Wen Yanbo said word by word.
After he finished speaking, the study fell into silence.
After a long time, Fu Bifang sighed quietly: "Not bad..."
Hearing these two words, Wen Yanbo's hair stood up. As expected, the official did not like Zhao Zongshi!
"In fact, in this year's imperial exam question, the officials used a 500-word text to tear apart the veil of the prosperous age, revealing the sorrowful state of the Song Dynasty. This was a great sacrifice, great kindness, and great courage.
It is the officials who are announcing to the world
Wake up from self-anesthesia, stop praising the peaceful and prosperous age, and think of ways to eliminate the evils and cure them!" Fu Bi's voice suddenly rose, and he said sadly and indignantly: "But now all the officials in the government and the public are thinking of being a hero of the dragon, okay?
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. But few people understand the painstaking efforts of officials...,"
Wen Yanbo was on pins and needles hearing this, wasn't he one of them...
"Looking at the current situation, if the Prince of Qingling County is established as the crown prince, everything will be fine, people's hearts will be stable, and there will never be any trouble. But the officials have been too lenient, and he is more lenient than the officials. If
When he succeeds to the throne in the future, he wants to cheer up, but he has no choice but to support him, who is a mixed bag of people and has a complex relationship with each other. How can he do it? "
Wen Yanbo felt as if he had eaten ginseng fruit again. His sweat and pores were filled with relief. It seemed that he had guessed right! If he bet this bet, he would make a fortune!
"So for the sake of the country, the official family does not want to choose the Qingling County King." Fu Bi said with a Chen Su look on his face: "However, the reserve position of the country is not something that the officials can arbitrarily decide! Now that the Qingling County King has become the general trend, if the officials rashly
The officials will not agree to the establishment of another one. When the time comes, the monarch and his ministers will be unable to compete with each other. In any case, it will cause irreparable damage to the prestige of the prince." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "And those generals and nobles are already standing at the celebration.
If something happens to Prince Ling, who will command the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Bianjing? No one dares to guarantee..."
"But the official has made up his mind to promote someone bit by bit. Just the appointment will cause an uproar. If no one can help that person calm down the situation, it will be self-defeating. Not only will it not be possible for him, but
We still have to destroy him." After Fu Bi was heartbroken, he looked at Wen Yanbo steadily and said: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu wants to ask you one last question, are you interested in going out to stabilize the official family in such a big change?
If you are willing, I can recommend it to His Majesty."
"Brother Yan Guo is not worried about me, but he is also on the side of Prince Qingling?" Wen Yanbo asked in return.
"Don't worry, people make plans, and God makes things happen." Fu Bi shook his head and said calmly: "Whether you want to be the mainstay to turn the tide, or follow others and be a lowly person, I think you will have your own decision..."
"Haha,,,," Wen Yanbo laughed: "Brother Yan Guo is really unreasonable. He ran home to hide for a while, but asked me to support you."
"Without it, I am no match for Han Zhigui." Fu Bi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "He is used to dealing with a stable person like me. Looking at the world, only your brother can compete with him."
A knock on the door interrupted Wen Yanbo's memories. He composed himself and whispered: "Come in."
Then I saw an official in his thirties coming in with a stack of documents and said respectfully: "This is a case that needs to be decided urgently. Please review it."
Wen Yanbo nodded and said with a smile: "Sit down." This official was not an outsider, but Lu Gongbi, the second son of Lu Yijian. Wen Yanbo was favored by Lu Yijian for his guidance, so he naturally took good care of his son. He was the one who got Lu Gongbi into the army in the first place.
Book.
With this relationship, Lu Gongbi was naturally not so reserved, so he picked up a chair and sat down.
Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "You boy, when I was here, I was just checking the official affairs of the Zhongshu and Li's offices. How come you have become more and more backward in the past few years?"
"The political affairs hall has been replaced by two prime ministers," Lu Gongbi said with a wry smile: "As an old man who was the former prime minister, there is no reason why I should not step aside." He chuckled and said, "I have written all the memorials that I requested to be released.
Well, if I hadn't known that my husband was coming back and would need help, I would have handed it over long ago."
"You are really good at being a good boy!" Wen Yanbo laughed and scolded: "If you want to leave, give me the memorial, and I will go and ask for favors from Xianggong Han, and let you go to a good place to be the magistrate of the state. How about that?"
"Let's forget it." Lu Gongbi said with a flattering smile, "I just want to follow Mr. Xian."
"Hahaha, it's cold..." Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "Then do it well for me!" He picked up the file, flipped through it, and his eyes froze and said: "Ms. Han really thinks highly of me, this time.
Just entrust him with important responsibilities.β
"I'm just waiting for my husband to come and top the tank," Lu Gongbi whispered: "What is my husband going to do about the Ergu River construction case?"
