Chapter 497 The prince visited Huishan secretly, and Zhang Julu Tavern drank alone.
The Liyang Temple where all the wise men made a sensational stir, and it came so rapidly that all the Grand Secretary of the Palace and the Minister of the Six Ministers were dumbfounded. With the sacred intention of this dynasty, Zhang Julu still insisted on mobilizing Gu Jiantang, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of the North, to move the empire’s most sharp sword to the neck of Xichu and cut the mess quickly, instead of the previously established position to be in charge of Beiguan. If this is the case, no one in the court dares to question it loudly. Although Biyaner has relaxed her control over the five departments outside the Ministry of War over the years, she has always kept the advice of the Taiwan Advisor tightly, so the Chief Auxiliary does not need to take action personally. These censors who only follow Zhang Lu’s horse can kill almost anyone. Fortunately, Chief Auxiliary Zhang has rarely deliberately targeted anyone, but as long as Zhang Julu holds this pawn, even if he never makes a move, no one in the court dares to be unscrupulous. Unfortunately, at the end of the spring of the first year of Xiangfu, even if the words were all at the hands of Zhang Julu, even if the temple was extremely skillful and invincible for more than ten years, the Chief Supervisor finally had his first defeat. It’s no wonder, because this time his opponent was Tantanweng, and a powerful minister behind Mr. Huan – Zhao Youling, the head of the six ministries, the recognized prime minister Yin Maochun, and even the new Minister of Rites Yuan Guo, a large group of veteran military generals led by Zhao Wei, a general who had not yet ordered the south to attack Western Chu, and a royal family member who had been suppressed by Biyan’er for more than ten years. What’s strange is that these people did not have any agreement in advance. After Huan Wen pointed the finger at the Chief Supervisor, these people made a series of reports one after another, all of whom “north and south use” were too rash, and a Western Chu who was looking back was far from comparable to the millions of string-controlling men in Beimang. At that day, the court meeting was undercurrent. Except for Wang Xionggui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood on his mentor’s side without any suspense, almost everyone chose to be timid and silent, and did not dare to get involved in the most bizarre fight between gods since the first year of Yonghui. The reason why it is said to be almost the reason is that in addition to Wang Xionggui, there is also Jin Lanting, who has been very proud recently, unexpectedly followed Wang Xionggui and spoke for Shou Guard Zhang.
Anyone who is interested saw that after retreating from the court, Tantan’s eyes were squinting and passed by the Prime Minister directly. Wang Xionggui, who was in a state of dismay, followed the indifferent Yonghui Master, and instead never took the initiative to approach Jin Youjiu, who was the prime minister, and walked firmly beside Zhang Julu. Today’s ups and downs made bystanders both dazzled and inexplicable. When they retired, they only heard the sound of pearls and jade knocking, and did not hear a loud talk or whisper. This was the only strange scene that they had seen in the 20 years of the Liyang Dynasty. Zhang Julu slowly walked down the white jade steps, without looking at the young right priest betting beside him, but just laughed softly, “Shen Sanlang, you may have to bet the wrong bet this time.”
Jin Lanting, who had a beard and clear-minded, shook his head and said, “I’m not taking a risky bet. I deliberately made enemies with all the civil and military officials in the court to please the chief minister. It’s just that a real man should do something, that’s all.”
Zhang Julu smiled, slowed down, and said straight to the point: “Do you.”At first, I intended to pull you into Zhanglu, and then control the way of speaking for me, but since Your Majesty looked at you with admiration, I am a minister, so I don’t want to take away the beauty of the monarch. “
I don’t want to, I must not.
There are still some clerical and military officials who have not left the palace city yet. Not to mention that they have not left the palace city, there are many slow-moving civil and military officials not far away.
Zhang Julu said calmly: “Looking at the struggles between gentlemen and villains in all dynasties, most court officials with a reputation as gentlemen lost a lot during their lifetime, and at most they were posthumously awarded a posthumous title by the next emperor after their death, which was of no benefit to the country and the people. It would be better if this kind of reputation left in history. There is nothing unspeakable mystery about party disputes. The more you care about the people, the more you need gentlemen and friends, and the more you need a smart evil dog among your colleagues who can bark and bite people. Instead of a group of people who are all there, who are just doing things with integrity and can only be a scholar. In the end, it is nothing more than writing a few poems about lonely graves that make future scholars cry during their exile. It is quite boring. “
Jin Lanting stumbled for a moment and said to himself, “It is hard to escape the rut when he was young. “
Zhang Julu turned around and patted Wang Xionggui on the shoulder, “I’m not on duty today. You go to Zhanglu to sit there. When a colleague asked, you only responded with the word “ignorant”. “
Wang Xionggui nodded and left quickly.
The purple-bearded and blue-eyed men who held power and Jin Lanting walked slowly forward and crossed the threshold of the palace together. Zhang Julu suddenly smiled and said, “The first time I saw you reminded me of my situation back then, and I was ashamed of wits and grievances as you did. But to be honest, you are still much worse than me back then, so you are better at making rice paper than me. “
Jin Lanting smiled knowingly, “It is enough to have something that makes the Prime Minister willing to admit defeat and give it to him. “
Seeing that Jin Lanting wanted to speak but stopped, Zhang Julu said calmly: “You are wondering why that old guy had a fight with the same family.”
No matter that Jin Lanting was the favorite minister of the emperor and the hero around His Highness the Crown Prince, his future was destined to be brilliant. This right priest dared not say a word at this time, nor did he even dare to speculate on it.
Zhang Julu said: “I and Huan Wen both have a scale in my heart, and I have never underestimated the restoration of Western Chu. It is just that the two ends of a scale have been severity. There have been some differences over the years: I value Western Chu and Northern Mang than Northern Mang, and he value Northern Mang than Western Chu. He had his plans and vision. He insisted on using Beiliang to consume Beimang’s national strength, for fear that once Gu Jiantang went south, he had already decided to swallow Beiliang first and then break through Beimang, who had changed course, mistakenly thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, the Tai’an City spread from Beiguan to our feet, and there were all wolves everywhere. “
Zhang Julu pointed to the south, “The old guy not only saw the north, but in addition to the stubborn disease in Northern Liang, Tantanweng also saw the seemingly ‘undecisive’ Yan Ladao, and the Spring and Autumn Period that could not withstand the blowing of the spring breeze. His concerns were naturally understandable. I am afraid that Xichu will become a quagmire, leading to spring and autumnThe country was destroyed and he was afraid that Beimang would go south from the eastern line, causing the whole world to be quagmire. I and him are a real big bet. Even if you stand at the center of the dynasty, you will not be able to see these things. Because of the court, everyone has their own plans. The warriors thought of being a marquis and generals during their lifetime, and the literati thought of accompanying the sacrifice to Zhang Sheng Temple after their death. The reason why I complain to you is that you, Jin Lanting, is rarely confused and interesting. After all, it is not uncommon to be scolded by Old Man Huan, and it is very rare to be beaten. “
Jin Lanting subconsciously touched the cheek that was slapped by Tantanweng, and quickly retracted like a hot hand.
Zhang Julu whispered softly: “You and I will come here. ”
Jin Lanting stopped tactfully, and only heard the Prime Minister leave a word, “Do you often date the new Shangshu in the future. “
Jin Lanting was stunned – is the new Shangshu Yuan Guo from the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War Lu Baijie?
Or is there both? Coincidentally, today, the two of them walked together. The two were young and middle-aged pillars and officials in the temple full of frost white eyes. They had many similarities and common languages, and had different backgrounds, but were both first-class romantic figures in Liyang. Lu Baijie was the Tangxi sword immortal on Jiangnan Road, and Yuan Guo was a famous figure who could be called brothers and brothers with anyone. Both of them had no sense of victory or defeat, and they looked at many things that others regarded as precious. They had a very good reputation in the court and the country. They had no enemies, nor had they obvious factions on the mountain. They were both guests of Tantanweng and were scolded by Tantanweng. They had met the saint, entered Shuanglu, and were scolded by Huan Wen. The three steps that the Liyang court had to take to become a powerful minister, and these two ministers obviously had experienced it. When they retreated to the court and returned to the “Zhao Hero Urn” outside the palace, they returned to the “Zhao Family Hero Urn” Lu Baijie did not return to the extremely busy Ministry of War immediately, but followed Yuan Guo to the Ministry of Rites, which was very different from the Ministry of War. In the ritual office where scholars and celebrities gathered together, everyone dared to make fun of him. Because when Yuan Guo, the new wine worm, took office, he carried a large box in an open place, but not a book, but more than twenty bottles of Jiannan Spring Brews given by His Majesty the Emperor, and then his Majesty, who came to the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, started to drink wine with the ministers. The king and his ministers sat at will, and while they were drunk, the Emperor Zhao family did not forget to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the heartbroken Secretary Yuan, and smiled and said that I took the initiative to help you win over the relationship between ministers, so don’t thank you. Remember to go back and get a salary and buy a few pots of good wine to send to the palace.
