Chapter 234 Official Fight

Zhang Shixun has been in the officialdom for decades, and this time he has been prime minister for the third time, and it is the only one in the history of the Song Dynasty. I wonder what Li Ruogu is thinking at this moment?

A faint smile was filled with a hint of confidence on his old face. "Long! Sand! King!"

When Zhang Shixun spoke, his voice was not loud, and he was even a little lower than when he was usually speaking.

But even such a sound, such words, were no less than a thunderclap in Li Ruogu's ears.

After a long time, Li Ruogu came to his senses and looked at Zhang Shixun in disbelief. He smiled and said, "This is a bit useless, right? Why should An Huaman be conquered with the prince's honor?"

"It's great! The barbarians of the ten prefectures must send generals to conquer!" Zhang Shixun's eyes were a little chilled, and he looked at Li Ruogu with a steady attitude.

Li Ruogu remained silent, lowered his head slightly, avoiding Zhang Shixun's gaze.

Zhang Shixun said again: "Yanzhou is a military center! These magistrates have all given him a mourning and filial piety. Once they return to the court, they will be hungry tigers who leave the prison and want to eat people! Shaoyuan is careful!"

Li Ruogu sighed, said nothing, bowed to Zhang Shixun and retreated.

Looking at Li Ruogu's slowly withdrawal, Zhang Shixun showed a smug smile on his old face.

Zhang Shixun met with several other prime ministers in the name of discussing pacifying An Huaman. Some agreed and some expressed silently in the middle, but what made Zhang Shixun angry was that some people actually opposed it firmly!

This person is Cheng Lin, the assistant minister of the government. Cheng Lin is the only prime minister left when Lu Yijian was in the court. When Zhao Yuan returned to Beijing to work, nine prime ministers were now old, and those who were demoted were demoted. Wang Zeng, Li Zi, Cai Qi and others were all sick. Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi and others were all demoted.

Even Song Shou, a young and powerful faction, was known as the "Young Guard" in the officialdom, was demoted to Henan Prefecture as the Minister of Rites.

The only remaining one is Cheng Lin, the envoy of the Three Divisions, who is now the chief of political affairs.

Speaking of which, Cheng Lin and Zhang Shixun were not at all good. In the second year of Ming Dao, Song Renzong took power, and Zhang Shixun cleaned Cheng Lin to Jingdong East Road to quell the rebellion. If it weren't for Zhao Jin's help, Cheng Lin would have been unable to be so depressed. At the same time, Cheng Lin had a close relationship with Lu Yijian. When he was able to return from Jingdong East Road, he was able to serve as the envoy of the Three Sessions, but it was entirely recommended by Lu Yijian.

Both Lu Yijian and Zhao Jin had a bad relationship with Zhang Shixun, and Cheng Lin himself had been harmed by Zhang Shixun, so how could he go with Zhang Shixun?

Now, after finally half a year, Zhao Feng returned to the court. At least he had someone to join forces to fight against him. How could he be willing to obey Zhang Shixun?

But Cheng Lin is a man who is an official. Sometimes he is really wrong. It’s like during the Tiansheng period, he actually gave Liu E a “Picture of Empress Wu’s Reign” in the morning court and encouraged Liu E to be the second Wu Zetian. As a result, Liu E didn’t know what she thought about, but instead scolded Cheng Lin and talked about her mother-son relationship.

Liu E has gained enough face inside and outside, but Cheng Lin is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - she is not a human inside and outside.

This time Cheng Lin was the same. After the talks with Zhang Shixun, Cheng Lin angrily entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

The Prime Minister is here to ask for a meeting!

It was naturally impossible for Emperor Renzong of Song to disappear, so he asked someone to summon Cheng Lin in.

As soon as Cheng Lin came in, she shouted, "Official family! You can't live this life! There are great traitors in the court!"

Song Renzong was not as shocked as the readers thought. There was no way. The officials of the Song Dynasty just liked to pull the banner, and even Zhao Jin exaggeratedly said that he had destroyed Song Zhexi.

As an emperor who has been an emperor for more than 20 years, Song Renzong is very calm. "Cheng Aiqing! What happened? What made you so angry and excited?"

"It's Duke of Ying!" Cheng Lin was not scared and pointed the finger at Zhang Shixun without hesitation.

I would like to bring the camera to Zhang Shixun here. As Duke of Ying, Zhang Shixun was even more a teacher of Song Renzong. How could he have no eyeliner?

Cheng Lin went to ask for a meeting, and there were already familiar imperial soldiers coming to report. Duke, great! Oh no, that Cheng Tianqiu! Go to the palace! He looked angry and most of the time, he was suing you!

Zhang Shixun thought, is this okay?

He quickly asked the concubine to prepare for court ward and wanted to enter the palace to meet the saint.

Nangong Tang happened to come to find Zhang Shixun. Seeing that the people in the room were busy, he naturally asked the reason. "Dongweng? Didn't you just get out of the yamen? Why do you seem to be preparing for court uniforms? You are old, don't be able to do anything so much!"

Zhang Shixun rolled his eyes secretly when he heard Nangong Tang's unruly teasing. This kid was so worried! Zhang Shixun said angrily: "It's not Cheng Tianqiu's bastard! This word is really correct, it's just a bastard! I asked him to discuss An Huaman's rebellion. It would be fine if the bastard didn't agree. I'm still saying that I'm selfish and suppressing loyal ministers and filial sons! Just as the head of an imperial soldier told him to enter the palace and face the holy place. What's wrong with this sanctuary? No matter how you say you can't let him throw dirty water on me, and you can defend yourself in front of the official!"

Nangong Tang swept his hem, sat opposite Zhang Shixun with a golden sword, and said carelessly: "I said Dongweng! Have you forgotten the lessons of the past?"

Zhang Shixun was not a fool either. Although Nangong Tang's words were completely unfinished, he could hear the smell from it. He immediately became scared and sweated.

What made Zhang Shixun so frightened?

Do you still remember why Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were exiled? Just because the two prime ministers attacked each other, Song Renzong simply came to beat each other and beat each other fifty-pounded. If Zhang Shixun and Cheng Lin had a fight, would they beat each fifty-pounded each other like Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng?

Zhang Shixun thought it was quite possible. After all, if Song Renzong could tolerate Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, how could he give them fifty boards? After all, Zhang Shixun had to admit that these two were the prime minister in handling government affairs, which was better than what he did!

Government affairs may not be better than ex-boys, but they attack each other like their ex-boys. It would be strange if Song Renzong did not demote.

However, Zhang Shixun was still unwilling to give up. He stomped his feet and said hatefully: "Is it possible to let Cheng Tianqiu impeach me like this? Isn't this the one who is the one who is a slaughter? Isn't this the one who is a good man? Is it a good thing that I am a dignified Duke of Ying, and he is like a weak woman who is so helpless against a big man?"

Zhang Shixun became more and more angry as he spoke, and cursed: "The weak woman can still shout a few times. I shouted, and I can't even shout anything! I simply went to the palace to fight Cheng Tianqiu. Both sides will be injured if both sides are injured!"

Zhang Shixun became more and more popular as he spoke, and his whiter face turned red.

Nangong Tang disagreed. He leaned on the back of the chair leisurely and said slowly: "Dongweng! Why are you confused? In the opinion of the students, Cheng Lin's complaints in the palace will not only not help the King of Changsha. In the future, the King of Changsha will go to Guangnan West Road, maybe thanks to Cheng Lin's entry into the palace this time!"

Zhang Shixun was stunned and couldn't help asking, "How could this happen?"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Shixun thought of the answer and his face turned red immediately.

Nangong Tang looked at Zhang Shixun with contempt and said, "Dongweng! Are you too inferior? The King of Changsha is barely considered a military man. Cheng Lin served as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and also as the envoy of the Three Divisions. Now he is also the chief political affairs. In addition to military positions, my Song Dynasty court has served as the top leader. Although it is said that people are cold, who has not many old subordinates left in it? If a minister like this is with the King of Changsha, do you think the officials will be suspicious?"

Zhang Shixun coughed and said in disappointment: "Why don't I know about this? It's just a mistake! This time I didn't go to the palace to meet, and I have to pretend to be sick at home."

Nangong Tang said happily: "That's right!"

After hearing this, Zhang Shixun was immediately angry and said, "I'm not kind, what do you mean? It turns out that what I did in the past is wrong?"

Nangong Tang stood up, patted his clothes, and asked with a smile: "What do you think Dongweng?"

After saying that, Nangong Tang ignored Zhang Shixun, who was angry and left slowly.

Zhang Shixun looked at Nangong Tang's back and was amused and crying. He sighed and said, "This is not good! Everything is good, it's too arrogant and he's angry when speaking! If he is an official, he will probably be eaten by his colleagues and subordinates, alas!"

And where is Cheng Lin? Cheng Lin’s complaint was very smooth. This success did not mean that it touched Song Renzong, but that no one interrupted him. When Song Renzong faced Cheng Lin’s complaint, he did not agree or expressed an impossible attitude. He just nodded, or asked by chance. When Cheng Lin finished speaking, Song Renzong just said that he knew.

Cheng Lin walked out of the palace and was nervous. What was going on? Why was the attitude of the government in the government so ambiguous? Is this the King of Changsha? At least the government has a little bit of a brother protecting his younger brother?

The next day, the people in the Secretariat surprised, why did Duke Ying not come to work today?

Soon, Zhang Shixun's family came and said that Zhang Shixun was sick. What disease? I occasionally got a minor illness, but I had to take a rest for a while when I was old.

How long does it take to recuperate?

I don’t know! Duke Ying is old, so I can’t tell you about the conditioning. Maybe one day, maybe one month.

But soon, I didn't know that a message was posted there.

Official Zhang San said to Li Si: "Do you know? Why didn't Duke Ying come to some Mao?"

Li Si glanced at Zhang San, looked strange and said, "You can't even know this, right? Duke Ying was sick! What's wrong with this? Duke Ying was already 75 years old, so what's wrong with being sick? Maybe after a while, the official will still be polite to the old ministers and let Duke Ying go on a five-day date!"

Zhang San curled his lips disdainfully and said, "What do you know! Duke Ying is sick. I saw him yesterday! His face was red. Although he was seventy-five, even if he was sixty, he would believe him! I heard that! The reason why Duke Ying is sick is pretending to be sick!"

Li Si frowned slightly and asked, "Pretending to be sick? What happened?"

Zhang San lowered his voice in a sneaky voice, "I'm just my buddies tell you about this matter! Don't spread it everywhere! I heard that there were barbarians on Guangnan West Road, and the Duke of Ying wanted to order the King of Changsha to quell the rebellion. The Minister of Political Affairs and Affairs came to the palace to meet the saints, saying that the Duke of Ying was forbidden, which was called quelling the rebellion, but in fact, it was to impose the King of Changsha to Lingnan! He also said a lot of bad things about Duke of Ying, such as city grace and formation of cliques! He also said that this made the King of Changsha to Lingnan, which was to cut off the official family, so that he could take the opportunity to control the court and become a powerful courtier in the world."

Li Sida was shocked and said, "Wow! Two more prime ministers attacked each other so soon?"

After pausing, Li Si immediately said strangely: "No! Duke Ying seemed to have no reaction. What's wrong? Duke Ying has recited the Buddha's name too much and is compassionate?"

Zhang Sanyi looked at Li Si with disdain and said, "What do you know! How dare Duke Ying speak? It would be fine if he didn't let the King of Changsha know about this matter, but if the King of Changsha knows, Duke Ying still dares to speak there! Do you know how powerful the King of Changsha is? Even if it is Ding You, the governor of Yanzhou who is involved in the world returns to the capital with his tail in shame. In June of this year, the King of Changsha has finished mourning. At that time, wouldn't Duke Ying be bad? Now Duke Ying seems to be pretending to be sick, but in fact he is surrendering to the King of Changsha and Gong Cheng."

The rumor became more and more intense, and in the end it changed. It was not that Zhang Shixun pretended to be sick. Instead, it was that Changsha King Zhao Xun sent a letter to Zhang Shixun, which was written with blood. Do you dare not kill anyone?

It scared Zhang Shixun so much that he became sick.

How could Song Renzong not know about such a thing? Soon a eunuch came and reported it one by one. Even the rumored version was said five, which was really dedicated.

After hearing the eunuch's report, Song Renzong said silently for a long time. He looked down and saw that the eunuch was still far away. He said indifferently: "I already know, you go down!"

The eunuch couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Official family, just... that's it?"

Song Renzong looked at the eunuch coldly and said, "I already know! You go down!"

Although he repeated the words just now, the eunuch was so scared that his back was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly stepped back. He was secretly alert in his heart that the emperor's mind was really like the sky. It might be a sunny moment the moment, but the next moment it would be dark clouds!

Four days later, morning court.

The matter was reported, and the new inner minister Wang Shouzhong was preparing to let all officials retreat.

But Song Renzong suddenly made a gesture, and Wang Shouzhong quickly stopped his throat, which made him feel very suffocated and his face turned red.

Of course, those who are officials are smart-eyed. Many people saw Song Renzong's gestures and immediately guessed in their hearts, what is wrong with the official family? What are he going to say?
