Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Black Materials
As soon as the morning was over, Zhao Guangyi walked away without even saying a word to Yang Hao, until he returned to Nanya and sat down in the Qingxin Building, then he cursed angrily: "This idiot, you are a fool! Advocate, don’t discuss it with me. Go to Honglu Temple? Go to a place like Honglu Temple to eat and die? Thanks to this king’s cultivation, it’s really useless!”
Song Qi was surprised and said: "Didn't the prince go to court today to ask for merit from the Yang Yuan envoy? Who made the prince angry?"
"It's not that Yang Hao!" Zhao Guangyi said angrily, "Even if the imperial army can't get in, he can arrange an important job, but he is lucky. I don't know who was bewitched, and he actually asked to be an official in Honglu Temple." After entering the Honglu Temple, sooner or later the edges and corners will be worn away, turning him into a slippery and ineffective subordinate, alas! This person is useless, and it was a waste of my king's hard work."
Song Qi didn't feel dazed when she heard this, and murmured to herself: "This man is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, it's really hard to figure out, then... is the celebration banquet held by the prince for him tonight still necessary?"
Zhao Guangyi gave a wry smile, shook his head and said: "The banquet is still going to be held, even if he is useless, he has to do enough work, no matter what, he has been promoted, no matter what, he is from my Nan Ya , if there is no one to congratulate you in the deserted place, it will not look good on my Nanya. Besides..."
He gritted his teeth and scolded: "When this idiot understands what kind of government office Honglu Temple is, he will turn around and ask me to transfer him away. At that time, this person will still be useful."
Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was unhappy, Song Qi hurriedly picked up some happy things to say, and smiled at him: "My lord, Tang Wei has supervised the construction of a batch of warships in Xiaoxi Lake. Our navy is not as powerful as Tang Guo's, so on the warships, there are only a few warships." It takes a lot of effort, Tang Wei hired a large number of skilled craftsmen, and the warships they built each have magical functions. I went to see it today. There is a small boat specially used to burn the opponent's giant ships. The bow is equipped with iron spikes. If it is nailed into the opponent's hull, it is extremely difficult to push the hook and strut away. At this time, the wedge wood on the hull can be removed, and the boat can become an independent boat in the second half of the load, so that the soldier who set the boat on fire can escape back the same way. With unique ingenuity, once these large and small warships with unique functions are used, it will definitely be of great benefit to our navy."
After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi turned from anger to joy: "Huh! Zhao Pu doesn't want me to be on the side of the imperial army, hehe, I can still make military achievements without being on the side of the army. Tang Wei is really capable, and he will be invited to the banquet tonight." Please come, these tyrants and tycoons who are incomparably rich are willing to work for this king, the purpose is to have a close friend, a backer, so we can't neglect him."
"Yes, the officer obeys."
That night, a banquet was held in the "Thousands of Gold and a Smile Building". All officials above the meritorious level of Nanya attended, and many gentry and celebrities were invited, which gave Yang Hao enough face.This trend still needs to be created, because today's court meeting is not the end of the dispute between the princes and ministers, but the beginning of a full-scale outbreak of conflict.
"The old man tolerated him for ten years, now... it's time to do it!" Zhao Pu said in a deep voice, looking around at his confidantes. "Yes!" A green-robed scholar nodded in agreement: "The eldest son of the emperor has grown up, he has been crowned king, and sent the eldest son of the emperor to hunt on behalf of the sky. At that time, the meaning of the official has been expressed very clearly." He smiled slightly and said: "Brothers end up with younger brothers. After all, it is a last resort. Now that the eldest son of the emperor has grown up and has shown his talents, the actions of the officials have clearly told us that he will immediately Reserved, and this crown prince... is not the emperor's younger brother, but the prince!" All the staff members were gearing up, looking excited, only a master with a bright head who was sitting under Zhao Pu stroked his beard and said nothing. Zhao Pu glanced at him and asked, "What do Weng Guo think?" This Haoshou wife's surname is Guo Mingyong, and Murong Qiuzui is Zhao Pu's most important right-hand man in the prime minister's staff, at the moment Murong Qiuzui is not in the capital, Zhao Pu asked him what he meant. Guo Yong twirled his beard, frowned and thought hard for a while, then Fang Shen said: "Master, everyone, the officials may have the intention of cultivating the King of Wei, but they may not necessarily have the intention of bringing down the King of Jin. The King of Jin has worked hard to manage Kaifeng for many years. The power is really not small, and it may not be so easy to bring down this big tree, especially...do the officials have this heart? If the officials don't want to move him, then we will use all our strength to expose our strength in vain , to arouse the vigilance of the officials, that is nothing more than stealing chickens." Zhao Pu was originally a person with a calm mind. Hearing what he said, his impulsive mood calmed down a little. After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Pu asked solemnly: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, what should we do?" Guo Yongdao: "There is no doubt that the official family intends to establish a crown prince among the heirs. It is human nature for the son to follow the father's business and pass on the family and the country. There is no doubt about the love. The official family is in the prime of life, and they are not in a hurry to clear away all obstacles for the Crown Prince, and they may not have no plan to gradually cultivate the wings of King Wei until it will come to fruition. If that is the case, he will not move. King Jin. We must not ignore this point." Lu Fengxiao, another staff member of the prime minister's mansion, couldn't help but asked: "Then according to Guo Weng's opinion, let's continue to tolerate domineering power and always overpower my prime minister's mansion?" Guo Yong smiled slightly: "Don't worry about being filial piety, this old man doesn't mean that. The old man thinks that taking advantage of the government's intentions to support the prince, this Nanya wants to weaken its vigor. But we have to think clearly, Is it a success or a failure when the stick is thrown down? What happens if it succeeds? Find out what the officials think." Zhao Pudao: "I have followed the official family for many years, and I know the mind and temper of the official family best. The official family has a heart for King Jin. You don't have to doubt this. Between brothers and sons, if you want to choose an heir, The official family will definitely choose the prince. The eldest son of the imperial family, Dezhao, is of outstanding character and ability. I think the official family is interested in him. He is the eldest son of the imperial family, and he is also the son of the official wife, Empress He. Inheriting the Great Tradition is well deserved." "Okay!" Guo Yong nodded and said: "Then let's smash it. Next, we have to see how much power King Jin has and how much power we can use here. Either we don't do it, we do it. Take him down completely, tell him to pack up and leave Nanya, and become a famous and powerless idle king from now on, so as to avoid future troubles forever. King Jin has worked hard all these years, and many of his strengths have not been brought to the table. We can't be careless. , if you are not very sure, you must keep a back hand, so as not to be controlled by it." Zhao Pu smiled and said: "Over the years, the King of Jin has indeed used his dual identities as the prefect of Kaifeng and the emperor's younger brother to win over some people, but...his status as prefect of Kaifeng limits the connections he can make. So what if there are more characters? Is there a good thing to say in the court?Xue Juzheng and Lu Yuqing, who know the business, but the old man is the first to follow the lead, and dare not interfere with it.As for the privy envoys... Hehe, those are the relatives of the old man's sons and daughters.There is another one, the third envoy, Chu Zhaofu is an official, the old man has already recommended Luo Gongming to return to Beijing..." Jiang Chenyi, one of the prime minister's aides, grinned like a toothache: "Master, Luo Gongming, that old fox, is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles. Mr. Xiang recommends him to return to Beijing, so he may not be grateful for Mr. Ende, stand firmly on the side of the husband." Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Luo is just wise and wise to protect himself, but he is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. The truth recommends him to return to Beijing. At least he will not stand up to oppose the truth. As long as we overwhelm King Jin, at that time, Luo Even if Gong Ming is reluctant, he has to stretch out a foot to help us step on King Jin." He looked around at a group of staff, stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Zhongshu is under the control of the truth, and the privy is under the control of the sons and daughters of the truth. The three envoys who hold the financial power are noncommittal, even if the officials see such momentum, they will have to make a choice between the stability of the court and the country and the king of Jin. If you were an official, how would you choose?" "How to choose?" The staff members thought for a while, and smiled knowingly. Zhongshu and Privy Councilors represent the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are the foundation of the court.Even the emperor, even after a hundred years of inheritance, the Taiping Emperor, who had been in peace for a long time, would not dare to oppose Manchu Wen in order to protect a brother.What's more, the emperor had intended to weaken his brother's authority to ensure that his son would ascend to the throne smoothly.Under such circumstances, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty just asked the emperor to let his brother give up his official position and become his Taiping prince, so as to ensure that the prince can be a prince in a stable manner. Which emperor would not follow suit? Guo Yongdao: "Since that's the case, then we... have to find the stick that can defeat King Jin first." Zhao Pu smiled and said: "The king of Jin is very cautious in his actions, and he rarely leaves anyone behind. Although we know about his courtiers, it is difficult to grasp his real evidence, let alone those courtiers who accepted his bribes or refused his bribes to come forward to testify I have no choice but to find another way, the truth calls you here, and it is precisely because I want you to go, and try every means to get the stick... back for the truth!" Seeing his staff say goodbye and leave one by one, Zhao Puzhi stood up proudly. Once Zhao Guangyi fell down, he was the number one person under the Son of Heaven, and no one could challenge his authority anymore.Moreover, once the emperor and the courtiers will have no effect on him, when the next emperor, he will still be the first person under the emperor. He has been waiting for so many years, just waiting for the prince to grow up, waiting for the official family to have the heart to set up a son as a prince. As long as the official family has such a vague idea, it will be enough. Other things, he will I went to do it for the officials.It's like... back then in Chenqiaoyi, personally putting on that yellow robe for him...
