Nine hundred and twentieth chapters villain succeeds
Although he has not finished speaking, Zhao Huan's meaning is already very obvious. He wants to find a more substantial position for Geng Nazhong. Now Geng Nazhong is just a leader in the East Palace and has almost no rights in the court.
And status, more strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a minister of the DPRK at all, not even Qin Hui.
Geng Nazhong looked at Li Qi eagerly. Obviously, with Zhao Huan's passive character, he would never take the initiative to recommend Geng Nazhong. It must be Geng Nazhong who took the initiative to cry, make trouble, and hang himself in front of Zhao Huan, hoping to make plans in the court.
An official and a half-job.
You must know that Zhao Huan is now increasingly influential in the court with the help of Li Qi and other ministers. There is no reason to put such good resources aside here. Moreover, Geng Nanzhong has learned his lesson. When Wang Fu took power
When he was young, he would grab him, round him, flatten him, and play with him at will. If he was unhappy, he would be kicked out of the East Palace. The reason for this was because he had no status, no power, and no power in the court. If he and Li Qi
Similarly, no matter what Wang Fu does, he has to weigh it carefully. Besides, he is not young anymore. If he doesn't just follow Zong Yaozu, he may not have a chance in the future. However, Song Huizong's health is not good now. When Song Huizong abdicates, he estimates that
Of course, if he had known that the Jingkang Revolution was coming, he might not have been so eager to take over.
Li Qi's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he thought to himself, this Geng Nanzhong really has a big appetite, and he wants to be the right person as soon as he comes out. He really thinks that the court belongs to your family.
In the Song Dynasty, the three provinces, collectively known as the Menxia Province, the Zhongshu Province, and the Shangshu Province, had far less power than the Tang Dynasty, and had almost been abolished in the previous years. Although they are still retained today, the power is really limited and the power has been depleted.
Inevitably, this is closely related to Dazai's inability to use it exclusively.
And if this right statement is strictly based on Yuanfeng's restructuring, it is definitely a false position. To be fair, this is obviously an admonishment official, but he does not have the qualifications to admonish and needs the emperor's permission. However, because the official positions in the Song Dynasty were too limited,
If there are too many, it will be difficult to manage, so the admonishers in the province will continue to impeach hundreds of officials as usual, regardless of how many there are.
Since he is an admonisher, he has the right to speak in the court. Moreover, the biggest opponent of the Menxia Province is the Yushitai, which is also a supervisory agency. The two sides often argue fiercely in the court. The duties of the Yushitai are
They are dedicated to impeaching hundreds of officials, and admonishers are dedicated to helping the monarch return to justice. However, because Song Huizong did not like to hear these words, the admonishers in the province began to turn their attention to Yushitai. If you impeach, I will specially impeach them.
Yes, it’s okay to argue every day anyway.
Zhao Huan had not less suffered from the pain brought to him by Yushitai. He also needed more people to help him speak in the court, and he could not rely on Li Bangyan alone.
But there is one thing that Li Qi still doesn't understand. This Li Bangyan is the left prime minister and the minister, that is, the head of the province, and Li Bangyan is your confidant Zhao Huan. In addition, the relationship between Li Bangyan and Geng Nazhong is also good.
It's too late. Why don't you go and beg Li Bangyan? Come and beg me instead. What's wrong with this? So he asked, "Does His Highness want to recommend Geng Zhanshi for this position?"
Zhao Huan nodded slightly.
Li Qi quickly glanced at Geng Nanzhong again and saw his attentive appearance. He thought to himself, this man is a typical villain. If I offend him, he will definitely remember it and maybe he will give me more love.
It's not a small worry, so it's better to be cautious. So he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, with Geng Zhanshi's ability, it is more than enough to serve as You Zhengyan Na."
Geng Nanzhong was overjoyed when he heard this. But then he heard Li Qi change the topic and said: "But, Your Highness, wouldn't it be more appropriate to go to the Prime Minister Zuo for this matter?"
"this---."
Zhao Huan looked embarrassed and said: "As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded. Although Geng Zhanshi is talented, he has always stayed by my side, preventing him from using his talents. So far, he is still unknown.
If you recommend it rashly, I’m afraid the possibility of success is very small.”
Li Qi frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "What do you mean by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment and then said: "So, I want to ask Geng Zhanshi to go to your Bureau of Commerce for some experience first."
Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning was conveyed, that is, he planned to use the Commerce Bureau as a springboard for Geng Nanzhong to enter the DPRK.
In fact, Geng Nazhong first went to Li Bangyan because he and Li Bangyan had a very good relationship. However, Li Bangyan also knew Geng Nazhong very well. He had no merit except being loyal to the prince. Although this sect's provincial affairs were no longer what they used to be.
, but it is still a central organization, and the admonishment officer must be appointed by the emperor himself. No one has the right to choose him. Even relatives of the emperor cannot hold this position. If you don’t have a tenable reason, you will soon be dismissed.
He continued to refute, so Li Bangyan gave him a plan and asked him to ask Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan asked Li Qi to find him and arrange him to join the Commerce Bureau.
Why? Because now the new law is rampant, and the Commerce Bureau is the initiator of the new law. It is really easy to make meritorious service. Once he has made meritorious service, Li Bangyan can immediately recommend him to Song Huizong and let him enter the province.
Geng Nanzhong felt that it made sense, and there were so many places to make money in the Commerce Bureau. He had never done business before and always thought that the reason why Li Qi was so wealthy must have been from the Commerce Bureau.
, so he was very tempted and hoped to get along with Li Qi, so he immediately went to ask Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan had a soft heart and had always followed Geng Nanzhong's advice, so this request was "natural". After all, Geng Nanzhong had been with him for ten years, so there was no reason not to promote him, so he immediately agreed.
But when Li Qi heard this, he was very angry. He cursed secretly, "What the hell do you think of my Commerce Bureau? Come in if you want. There are so many talented people in our Commerce Bureau. No one is just a freeloader. Even Qin Hui, a big businessman."
Even if you have to coil up a python, you, Geng Nanzhong, are just a penny, short-sighted and only greedy for small profits.
However, you can't say that. He pondered for a moment, glanced at Geng Nazhong secretly, and then at Li Gang, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "This is just a small matter, I have to trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to come and make a trip in person.
, it really shouldn’t be.”
Geng Nanzhong was very happy when he heard this. Zhao Huan said: "Did you agree?"
Li Qidao: "If I refuse even this, then I will really be ashamed of the favor I have given to His Highness the Crown Prince." At this point, he suddenly changed the topic again and said: "But, I think there is a place more suitable for Geng than the Commerce Bureau.
Zhan Shi."
Zhao Huan groaned and said, "Where?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Honglu Temple."
Zhao Huan was stunned. He had never thought about this.
Li Qi added: "His Royal Highness, our Commerce Bureau is only assisting in receiving foreign guests this time. Honglu Temple, headed by His Royal Highness, still has the final say. Therefore, I thought this was a good opportunity to make a contribution. In this case,
Why not let Geng Zhanshi enter the Honglu Temple. Of course, if Geng Zhanshi wants to join the Commerce Bureau, I can help him arrange a position now, but --- this position may not be too high."
Geng Nanzhong couldn't help but hesitate again after hearing this. The Bureau of Commerce is a new department, and the official positions in it are all new. Except for the economic envoy and deputy economic envoy, almost all the others have positions but no grades. In this way, it is incompatible with his original intention.
Somewhat contrary to that.
However, Zhao Huan did not think about Geng Nanzhong at this time, because Li Qi's words revealed another important news, saying: "Li Qi, what you said is too modest. You and I both know that this time
Those foreign guests coming here to attend the New Year's Day meeting are only secondary. The key point is that they are here for our new laws of the Song Dynasty. They should focus on your Commerce Bureau, and we at Honglu Temple will assist from the side."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I know this, but now and then, please forgive Li Qi for saying something that offends you. Your Royal Highness, you should also take some responsibilities, but you can't be the same as before."
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of surprise: "What do you mean?"
Li Qidao: "I think this negotiation is a rare but rare experience for His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince should also use this opportunity to demonstrate his talents, increase communication with those envoys, and promote mutual understanding. Therefore, I think
Honglu Temple is leading this negotiation, with the Commerce Bureau and the Ordnance Supervisor assisting. Isn't this also the responsibility of Honglu Temple?"
After these words, Zhao Huan was extremely moved. Li Qi made it clear that he wanted to give all the credit to him. However, even though he was moved, he seemed a little timid because this negotiation will implement the Song Dynasty's new diplomacy with surrounding countries.
Policy is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly. Song Huizong also attaches great importance to this point, which makes him hesitant because he lacks confidence.
Li Qi could see the worry in Zhao Huan's heart at a glance, and said: "Your Highness, just go ahead and do it. Now they are begging us. The initiative is in our hands, so there is no need to worry too much. In addition, I will also be here
To assist His Highness the Crown Prince."
Geng Nanzhong rolled his eyes and thought, if the prince had full authority to make the decision, then there would be nothing better for him to enter Honglu Temple. He would be able to take the credit, and he would not have to ask for help. He would kill two birds with one stone. He quickly said: "Your Highness, I am the official
I think what the economic ambassador said makes sense."
Li Gang suddenly said categorically: "Yes, a man should do something, not to mention your Highness. Now is the time for His Highness to step forward. You can't give in anymore. Otherwise, how can you convince the public in the future?"
His words were sonorous and powerful, and the implication was that you will be the emperor in the future, and now you should shoulder heavy responsibilities and not just choose to hide when encountering difficulties.
Zhao Mingcheng also quickly added that he was the second-in-command of Honglu Temple, and he would definitely have to take credit for his contribution. He would still settle the account.
Li Qi frowned secretly when he heard this, and glanced at Li Gang, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, but it passed quickly.
Zhao Huan heard what they all said, and with Li Qi's guarantee, his confidence increased greatly. He smiled and said: "Li Qi, you are really my king's think tank. Okay, I will follow your words." The voice.
Full of gratitude.
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. This is our duty as ministers."
This kid finally got the idea. Bai Shizhong stroked his beard and looked at Li Qi with satisfaction, feeling very comforted in his heart.
