Chapter 77 Intercession (2 in 1)(1/2)
Song Jing brought back the topic. He was also the prime minister of the current dynasty, and his age and qualifications were the first among everyone.
A word stopped the fun among friends.
Wang Shi said excitedly: "What Song Xiang said is not unreasonable, but they are really guilty of being punished by opposing His Majesty. It is reasonable for His Majesty to deal with it."
Compared to Song Jing, Wang Shi was not so polite.
Song Jing was the seventh-generation grandson of Song Bian, the Minister of Personnel of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although the Song family is not a famous family, they also have a considerable background, especially his wife is a girl from the Cui family in Qinghe, who speaks somewhat conservatively.
Wang Xun had no such concern. He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his grandfather Wang Youfang. He was bold and open-minded by nature, diligent and studious. In the third year of Xianheng, he passed the Ming Jing subject and was awarded the title of Qingyuan County Magistrate. From a small county magistrate, he climbed step by step to today's prince Zhan Shi, and was awarded the title of Duke of Zhongshan County. He achieved his achievements today entirely by himself, without any reliance, and naturally he did not have any concerns.
Among the four people Zhang Shuo invited, Song Jing, Su Feng and Zhang Jiazhen, were all prime ministers.
Only Wang Shi was not, but he and Song Jing and Zhang said that they had a very good relationship.
Once Zhang said that once he was promoted to the Prime Minister, Wang Shi would be promoted, and it was natural to rise.
Compared to them, Wang Shi was also more strong-willed.
Because like Pei Min, he is both civil and military, and he can lead troops to fight, manage local governments and quote classics.
He has reached this point with his military achievements, so he is not polite to the aristocratic races involved in rebel organizations.
"You can't say that!" Su Feng said: "From the evidence, many people involved don't really know the details. Most of them just know that starting from the four major families, each with the resources in their hands, cultivating and organizing talents, and establishing an unknown institution to restore the glory of the past. In the saying goes, their group of people is to make lard blinded, and they know that the family is the greatest. As long as it is beneficial to the aristocratic family, they will not care about the overall situation and lead to this ending... But they have a big mistake and have no intention of defending them. But if they really want to kill them, the world will not be in chaos, but people will inevitably be panic. Even the political and legal difficulties are difficult to implement, and the people who are damaged are the people of the Tang Dynasty..."
Su Ying's words were definitely not alarmist, but were just a matter of fact.
Whether a court's political and legal system can be operated accurately and implemented effectively depends not on the superior prime minister or the six ministers, but a group of small and medium-sized officials.
The prime minister, the six ministers and even the emperor, and officials of this level were all decision makers.
Officials at the middle and lower levels are the real implementers of politics and law. Whether the government orders can operate smoothly depends on them.
This is also the reason why the two dynasties, including the prime ministers and key officials of the Taizong Dynasty and the Gaozong Dynasty, were mostly not members of the five-subject family, but they were unable to do anything to the major wealthy families.
The wealthy families have never controlled the prime ministers and officials, but a group of middle and lower-level officials.
Through recommendations, channels, and through the connections accumulated over thousands of years, they allocated family members to various places to serve as middle and lower-level officials.
Once these officials go on strike, the Tang Dynasty will stop operating, and the consequences will be extremely serious.
Although Wu Zetian used bloody means to severely damage the aristocratic family and continued to use a large number of poor families to make up for the vacancies.
But in the past twenty years, wealthy families have vaguely recovered again.
Nowadays, many capable officials in the local area are provided by the aristocratic families. If they really want to settle one by one, they will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Therefore, Zhang Jiazhen also echoed: "It's this principle, the car in front is overturned and the car in the back is ringed. A bright example is in front of you, how can you ignore it?"
When Wu Zetian settled the aristocratic family, the results were certainly gratifying. But if we really counted it, it also caused certain harm to the country.
Especially when cruel officials were rampant at that time, Wu Zetian let down the officials, and ordered officials from small and medium-sized landlords who took over the position to be polite and poor families to have mixed personalities. This led to a sharp increase in the bureaucratic group and heavy corvee labor, which increased the burden on the people.
After the common landlords came to power, together with the original clans, they doubled the exploitation of the people, making the trend of land annexation more prosperous, the equal-land system was seriously damaged, and the contradictions were further deepened.
During the Wuzhou period, military weakness was caused by Wu Zetian's random killing of famous generals, and another reason was the destruction of the equal-field system.
The serious damage to the equal-field system means the collapse of the military system.
How can this soldier win a battle if he is not strong?
However, with the momentum of the aristocratic families at that time, Wu Zetian's approach was still more important than his faults.
But now the aristocratic clans are weak and the poor are rising. Under such circumstances, it is not a wise move to attack the aristocratic family and kill them.
Zhang Shuo also said, "From the overall situation, it is indeed enough. But if you say that the Cui family is not good, they just go to Duke Pei? Don't think about it, Duke Pei can move it just by saying that? As for Duke Pei's achievements and his position in His Majesty's heart, we may not be as good as that. Anyway, Your Majesty is very annoyed by this matter and Long Yan is angry. If you really want to mention this matter to him, you will definitely be anxious with us. I am not afraid of you making jokes, but I agree with your views, but I am not sure to convince Your Majesty. Then I ask you to discuss and make a conclusion."
They did not know the case of false accusation of rebellion, but no matter how tight the news was, it would not be possible to hide it from Song Jing. Zhang said that the prime minister knew about this.
Song Jing said again: "The situation in our dynasty is very good now. In more than ten years, it will be no problem for Emperor Gaozong to surpass Emperor Tai. At that time, we will definitely leave a name in history. If this matter is handled improperly, even if it does not hinder the general trend of the world, it will be a big stain."
He said this and everyone was in a hurry.
All of this man has selfish intentions.
Repeating names is a common problem among almost all literati.
Being able to keep the reputation in history without leaving any stains is doing what you have always dreamed of.
"But it's just your majesty's temper..."
Everyone also understood this truth. Thinking of Li Longji's selfish nature, he felt helpless.
Su Feng said: "In my opinion, we cannot discuss any results here. This mental illness requires medical treatment. The key point of this matter lies with Duke Pei. Only he can do this well."
Song Jing said: "I have thought about this method too. Who can be clear about it when he was falsely treasoned? Who can tolerate it when it happened to him? This disaster caused the slander of the whole family, if I were me, I would not be able to bear it."
"That's right!" Wang Shi echoed: "Song Xiang said it is reasonable, and everyone knows what Duke Pei is. He regards his mother as filial. If he targets him alone, it would be fine. This is a disaster for the whole family!"
After thinking about it, the few people said many ideas and solutions, but they were not effective.
In the end, I still felt that finding Pei Min was the only and the best way.
Zhang said with a headache: "No matter what, I'd better give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'm thinking about his method. We wrote a message together and acted as lobbyists together, hoping that he can sell us a little bit."
"I have to do this!" Song Jing, Su Feng, Zhang Jiazhen, and Wang Xun agreed together.
They couldn't guarantee whether Pei Min would sell their face.
Although they all have high positions and powerful positions, there are also the prime ministers of the current dynasty and the second ministers.
But Pei Min's status and status are not inferior to them at all, and he is also a generation of literary masters.
If you want to pay attention to them, you should pay attention to them. If you don’t want to pay attention to them, they can’t do anything about it.
They all wrote a letter of worship carefully and sent it to Pei's mansion.
************
Late at night, Pei Mansion!
Pei Min gently stroked her beloved wife Jiao Chen's beautiful body, helping her to relieve the charm of the aftermath, and said in her ear, "I really can't bear to leave, why don't you stay and stay for a few more days?"
Jiao Chen gave a charming look and said, "It's all the time to drag the seven stars."
Since she gave birth to Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, she has taken care of the two little guys almost in a row.
This is the first time I left, and it took more than a month in a flash, and I want to ruin my child in my heart.
But Pei Min refused to let her go and forced her to stay.
In recent years, Pei Min and Jiao Chen have been restrained from having sex with Xiaoqi and Xiaoba over the years. They are worried that they will quarrel with the two little guys, but they are also a little unwilling to let go in front of their children.
The rare guy who is in trouble is not here, and he can pass by the world of two people, so Pei Min naturally has no scruples on Hu Tian and Hu Tian.
He is less than thirty years old this year, and it is the time when he is young and strong. He is ecstatic and enjoys every night, so he is not willing to let Jiao Chen leave.
"I miss you so much!"
Jiao Chen also looked reluctant. The self-enjoyment of the joy of the boudoir is ultimately not as good as maternal love.
"Okay!" Pei Min looked disappointed.
Jiao Chen couldn't help but say, "Then stay for a few more days. Anyway, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are taken care of by Yan Gu, and Zhang Jiuling and Wang Wei, teachers like him are instructing their studies, which is not a problem."
Pei Min was overjoyed, kissed her white and tender cheeks, and smiled happily.
Jiao Chen said: "It's up to you, so marry Miss You as soon as possible. You don't have to be wronged, and no one takes care of you."
Pei Min said with a hint of elegance: "It's almost done. You haven't seen the number of greetings I received today. The four prime ministers and the prince and the secretary of the prince were all stomping their feet in the court, making the court shake. They all asked to come to the door one by one and wanted to finish the matter. This matter came to an end. Miss You also said that you can join me in this time."
Jiao Chen snorted: "Forgive them so easily is a good deal for them."
For a traditional woman, her husband and children are her heaven and earth.
Jiao Chen is such a woman. She can give everything to those who intend to harm her family.
No matter how vicious or cruel it is, she doesn't think it's too much.
This is also a real woman, not a Virgin, or a White Lotus.
Pei Min said: "How can it be so easy to get them? Do you really think your husband has no temper? You just can't be hard on some things. Kill them all, for a moment, to be quick, harm others but not for oneself, and to harm the world. There is no need to do this. For your husband, you must pay the price, and do something for the world, and to exchange your reputation for a lifetime, and to count birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful?"
He hugged Jiao Chen and slept beautifully.
At the end of the next day, Song Jing, Su Feng, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Shuo, and Wang Xun came to Pei Mansion as promised.
Pei Min asked them to be invited into the living room.
Faced with such a luxurious lineup, Pei Min naturally had to joking with them in business.
Saying each other's deeds to show respect.
Everyone took the seat, and as prime minister, Song Jing first explained his purpose: "Mr. Pei!"
He directly referred to as "Pei Gong".
Duke Pei, Duke Pei!
The difference is one word, but the meaning is thousands of miles apart.
Song Jing is over 60 years old this year. There are very few people in the world who can be praised by him so respectfully.
"After a lifetime, Mr. Pei is one. This time, the one who persuaded Your Majesty to change his mind is Duke, right? If there is no Duke, I don't know how much unnecessary expenses it will be. Duke Pei's talent and responsibility are really admirable."
