Sitting on the bed, Zhao Xin carefully looked at the 'old acquaintance' in front of him. He was different from the future prime minister in his memory.
Today's Fu Bi is very young.
He must be thirty years old at most. He is extremely good-looking, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose that looks like a gallbladder, a strong figure, and a powerful face. He looks like he is full of energy and fighting spirit.
It is really a far cry from the rich husband, Fu Chitose, whom Zhao Xin was familiar with in his memory.
There was something familiar between Cuo Fei's eyebrows, and Zhao Xin couldn't believe it. This was the future conservative boss, a die-hard member of the Song Dynasty!
"Sure enough, it was the day when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp it..." Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have expected that the future number one conservative figure and spiritual leader would now be the core figure of the reform faction in the Song Dynasty, a young upstart who strongly advocated reform and reform, enriching the country and strengthening the army?
Even their personalities are completely different.
The Fu Bi in Zhao Xin's memory was always smiling, hiding things in his cotton, and always had a hand in everything he did, ready to dig holes for others at any time.
But now Fu Bi is sharp and forward-looking, with little consideration for his own options.
Just like last year, after the defeat of Sanchuankou, Song Itch, a political advisor, panicked and proposed "Chengtong Pass". Fu Bi immediately wrote a letter saying: I heard that the emperor has been guarding Seyi since ancient times. Today's city is Tongguan, and the land of Guanxi has been abandoned.
What?
Song Chu was so ashamed that he hated Fu Bi to the core!
In addition, most of the contemporary literati and doctors are patients with Liao phobia. When they see Liao people, they tremble with each other and dare not even say anything.
But Fu Bi dared to speak harshly, talk powerfully, and argue with reason in front of the dignitaries and even the king of Liao. As a result, he even won the respect of Yelv Zongzhen, the Xingzong of Liao, and he also made a good friend in Liao, Xiao
Ying, relying on Xiao Ying's intelligence, Fu Bi completed his mission perfectly and suppressed the Liao Kingdom.
Looking at the high-spirited young minister in front of him, Zhao Xin knew that he could only say that the world was made up of people and the society was too complicated!
However, this is reality, this is the world!
Therefore, Zhao Xin sat up straight and said softly: "I love you, no courtesy!"
"Envoy Xu Yuan!" Zhao Xin turned to Xu Xi and ordered: "Give You Zhengyan a seat!"
So, Xu Xi moved a chair in front of Zhao Xin's bed, and then invited Fu Bi over.
Fu Bi bowed gratefully and then sat down on the chair, with tears even in his eyes.
Because the ministers of the Song Dynasty have not been able to have a seat in front of the king for a long time.
As for the prince, there are only a handful of ministers who can sit in a seat before the prince.
For literati and officials, having a seat in front of the emperor is not only a sign of respect, but also an expression of trust.
Therefore, in Fu Bi's eyes, the little prince in front of him was just a child.
But the image is already very high.
But he didn't know that all Zhao Xin's current actions were specially designed for him.
Zhao Xin knew that Fu Bi liked to be respected, especially whether he could have a seat.
So, as soon as you meet him, ask him to sit in front of you.
Zhao Xin also knew that Fu Bi believed in destiny and was superstitious about the cycle of heaven.
That’s why I deliberately mentioned Fu Bi’s name yesterday.
Otherwise, there are so many people in Bianjing city who can be used and controlled by him? Why go to Fu Bi alone?
It's because Fu Bi now is young, energetic, and full of energy, and is easy to use and inspire.
It needs to be replaced by someone else.
For example, Zhang Fangping, the right admonishment official, or Jia Changqi, the Zhizhigao official, who were both in the Zhijian Yuan, were not so easy to fool and deal with.
Or is a young elite full of idealism and romanticism like the current Fu Bi more suitable for Zhao Xin's current situation.
After all, only children can think about right and wrong, good and evil, while adults only talk about interests.
"You Zhengyan!" Zhao Xin sat on the bed, bowed slightly like an adult, and asked: "Gu Jian Zhengyan, there is a hint of worry in his eyebrows, but what's the matter?"
This is preemptive strike!
It is an art of conversation that Zhao Xin gradually mastered during his more than thirty years of imperial career in his previous life.
It targets a long-standing flaw in Fu Bi’s character—his inability to hide things!
Not to mention the current Fu Bi, even the future Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Fu Bi, was like this.
He has never been able to hide things. If he has a problem, he always wants to talk about it.
You can’t control your mouth, and you can’t control your heart!
This was known to everyone in the future Fu Bi's friends and enemies.
Wang Anshi repeatedly took advantage of this to dig holes for Fu Bi, but Fu Bi jumped in every time.
Nowadays, nature is normal.
The moment Zhao Xin walked in from Fubi, she already noticed that You Zhengyan's expression was abnormal, and there seemed to be something hidden in his heart.
So he asked questions decisively, showed his sword in advance, and took the initiative in the conversation.
When Fu Bi heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to him: "The Duke of the country is a wise man, but I am indeed worried about you!"
Fu Bi is a very smart man.
If he were not smart, it would be impossible for him to be liked and close to Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, Sima Guang and many other people.
In fact, Fu Bi had already thought about it thoroughly before coming.
He knew very well the reason why Prime Minister Lu Yijian and Zhi Privy Council had specially summoned him yesterday and specially arranged for him to come to pay homage to Duke Shou today.
Because... today's officials are always in poor health.
On the 29th day of March in the second year of the Ming Dynasty (Jiawu), the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu and Liu passed away. Now the officials were officially in charge, so they were gearing up and eager to try, intending to refresh the political system and rejuvenate the country. Therefore, in November of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, an edict was issued announcing the restoration of Taizong.
During the Japanese-Korean system, this official was even more excited and said to his ministers: Every time I retire from the court, I will personally read all the memorials to the world!
However, this situation did not last even for a year. In August of the first year of Jingyou, the official fell ill, so he had to issue an edict: "The auxiliary minister Yanhe Hall will report the affairs, and all the ministers who have the authority to order the auxiliary ministers shall be punished."
After finally recovering from his illness, he officially resumed his duties in the first year of Baoyuan. However, Yuan Hao made a rebellion, and within a few days he moved the court meeting back to Yanhe Hall.
This is also the reason why things in the northwest have deteriorated into what they are now.
It is not just the ministers of the previous generation who were afraid of things and blamed each other.
There are also reasons why the officials themselves were unable to deal with various military situations in a timely manner, which led to the corruption of the situation.
It has been almost a year since the defeat of Mikawaguchi, and today's officials have been holding on to their strength and carrying out high-intensity government affairs processing and personnel arrangements.
No one knows whether he will collapse from exhaustion again this time?
Even, like the late emperor Zhenzong, he simply lingered on the sick bed?
Therefore, even if the Duke of Shou is only two years old, it is very likely that he will be pushed to the forefront in future emergencies, imitating the story of today's official family, and supervising the country's governance as a prince.
Therefore, the ministers are planning in advance.
And he, Youzhengyan, will play the role of the agent or mouthpiece of Duke Shou in this layout.
In a sense, Fu Bi knew that he was the mouthpiece sent by the two governors to ask Duke Shou for instructions and convey Duke Shou's will.
As for control, manipulation?
Not to mention that no one in the two governments has the courage, even if they did, no one would really dare to take action.
Lord, minister, father and son, superior and inferior, this is the law of heaven, and those who exceed it will die!
