Three hundred and sixty-seven who is the prime minister?
After the Spring Festival, at the banquet after the Spring Festival, Zhao Bohu, who was having a drink with his clansmen and guests, gave a congratulatory speech: "At the beginning of the New Year, the king has also been crowned and takes charge. At this time when everything is renewed, you are the guests since you are here.
, I’m having a drink to celebrate the New Year, don’t talk about anything. Come, I’ll summon a tiger to honor you all!”
The officials and disciples looked at each other and drank a lot, but everyone kept silent. Zhao Bohu was chatting and laughing without realizing it, and kept asking about the family affairs of his subordinates, clearly like a kind brother.
.
The chief scribe suddenly fell to the ground and said, "Xiang Guo------, I and other old officials feel that Dazhou has done too much to disgrace the Prime Minister."
A group of officials all bowed down and said, "As soon as your Majesty came to power, he promoted Rong Yixiang to the Prime Minister's Office. He clearly wanted to divide the power of calling the Prime Minister. We are not convinced!"
"Where are you talking? Get up!" Zhao Bohu hurriedly helped up a group of officials, sat down and sighed: "You have been serving as officials under me for many years, do you still believe that Zhao Hu is loyal to the king? The government situation is complicated, why?
Isn’t it difficult for the king? Rong Yi often comes up with strange schemes, and his wisdom is far superior to that of a tiger. The king’s trust is something that should be deserved——”
After some consolation, the officials calmed down and the banquet continued. Uncle Mi quietly walked into the hall and spoke a few words to Zhao Bohu. The latter's face darkened and he started walking to the back garden.
Duke Zhou was sitting under the thatched pavilion in the back garden. He really couldn't stand the warmth created by the burning stove in the hall surrounded by curtains. He would rather stand alone in the thatched pavilion on the top of the mountain, with the spring snow just around the corner and the biting wind blowing
The cold snow particles hit my face, but it was still so hot that my face was covered with sweat, and I was so confused that I didn't know what to do.
"My lord, it's too cold here. It's better to go into the hall and wait. Otherwise, the prime minister should blame me for not treating guests well!" This was Boyan's voice.
"No!" Zhou Gongding replied categorically: "I'm waiting here. If you Prime Minister doesn't see me suffer some hardships, you won't show up!"
"Who said I won't show up anymore? All the ministers of Zhou Guogong have a higher prestige than Zhao Hu, how can they be so condescending and condescending?" There was a burst of laughter, and Zhao Bohu in linen and cotton robes walked up from the mountainside path.
The two met and Zhao Bohu was about to tell Boyan to prepare wine and food, but Zhou Gongding waved his hand, opened a wooden box on the stone table, took out a shiny copper box, and then took out a red and faint box.
He picked up the wine barrel and said with a smile: "As the ancients said, you should not knock on the door if you are justified. Duke Zhao has to accompany me to drink this barrel of wine!"
Zhao Bohu said angrily: "What's the point of just a barrel of wine? Just drink it. Boyan serves the wine!"
Zhou Gongding laughed loudly, watching Boyan arrange the wine and meat, raised a big pottery bowl and drank it first, then put down the bowl and sighed: "After the great dynasty, Duke Zhao must be holding his breath in his heart, so he has a good time."
So what if you tell me? It’s still you who summoned Young Master Mu, Prime Minister.”
"How can I, Zhao Hu, be one of those people who is greedy for position?" Zhao Bohu drank down the wine in his mouth and felt a steaming heat in his belly, and said with emotion: "I just don't know the details of Rong Yi.
I know clearly, and I am worried that he will lead the king to an unknown evil path. After all, when the late king and queen were dying, they entrusted the king and the fourth prince to me. The responsibility is heavy, so I have to be very careful!"
"Since Zimu has said this," Zhou Gongding poured another cup for him and asked with his empty hand: "I would like to ask you, what kind of person is Rong Yi in your eyes, Zhao Zimu?"
Zhao Bohu's slightly red eyes stared at Zhou Gongding: "He is a rare talent recognized by the world."
"How about you summoning Zimu?"
"Tiger thinks he is capable of doing things, but his cleverness and resourcefulness are inferior to those of Rongyi, and they are far beyond his reach!"
"Okay!" Zhou Gongding slapped the stone case fiercely: "Zhao Gong is a scholar and a man of heaven. It is difficult to find an opponent in Hao Jing. I have a question to ask."
"If you don't dare to take it seriously, please ask the Duke to speak."
"Comparing my ancestor Zhou Gongdan with Lu Shang and Jiang Taigong, who is more talented?"
"Of course Taigong Jiang is more talented!" Zhao Bohu said without hesitation, his power was irrefutable.
"Then, when King Xianwu passed away, why did he entrust the young king to Zhou Gongdan instead of Lu Shang? Is it just because the ancestor is of the bloodline of Ji?"
"That's not entirely true." Zhao Bohu frowned and thought deeply: "Lü Taigong originally had no desire to govern for a long time. He is wise and has nothing to do with governing the country.
Talent has nothing to do with it!"
"So, if Lu Taigong has the ambition to govern for a long time, King Wu will support the whole country?"
"Lu Shang's heart is not in governing the country!" Zhao Bohu's words were already stagnant.
"What if his ambition is to rule the country?" Zhou Gongding kept an eye on him.
Zhao Bohu pondered for a moment and bowed slightly: "I would like to hear the Duke's noble opinion."
"The prime minister has the capacity to tolerate people, so I can speak frankly." Zhou Gongding had a smile on his face and his tone was serious and candid:
"The ancestor Dan and Lu Taigong have two different talents. Only because of this, they can neither replace each other nor change their positions. Lu Shang's talent is planning, ancestor Dan's talent is doing things. Planning and doing things,
These are two very different types of talent. The key to planning is to be able to change things unexpectedly. You can predict the unpredictable and predict the unpredictable. Only by being insightful and rebellious can you have strange strategies and long-term strategies.
The most important thing to be able to do things is to be down-to-earth, not to abandon the trivial, not to be tired of the drama, not to envy the weird, and not to go beyond the common sense. Only then can you deal with things tactfully, resolve disputes, and make things work with one heart and one mind. Does Zhao Xiang agree with this difference? "
Zhao Bohu frowned and thought, but nodded slightly. Zhou Gongding was inspired and his tone became more generous:
"Suppose that all those talented, independent-minded planners and strategists who know the mysteries of heaven and earth are to be prime ministers, governors, or ministers. They can deal with all kinds of things every day and cannot wander around. Trivial matters disturb the mind but cannot bring about brilliance. However, great talents are not
If you become a mediocre official, how can you destroy people? How can you become a human being?
In the same way, if you let someone who is capable of doing things become a strategist and use common sense to figure out the world, there will be no strange strategies in the world! If Jiang Shang has no talent for governing the country, how can King Wu conquer the world? If Jiang Shang has the talent to govern the country, how can King Wu conquer the world?
A talented person who governs the country has never been involved in the affairs of governing the people and the country. For example, if you recruit Zi Mu, the king still appoints you to handle the government affairs of the prime minister's government. This is because you trust your talents. As for the honor of serving as a minister, it is just an excuse.
His wisdom and wisdom are just to assist you."
These generous words made Zhao Bohu's heart clear. He laughed loudly and said, "Well, Duke Zhou, how long have you been preparing this speech at home? Could it be that you are here as a lobbyist for someone?"
"What are you talking about, Zimu? After all, I am also a minister. He is an honorable barbarian, a mere minister, and an empty-handed prince. Is he worthy of me working my legs and lips for him?"
"Then," Zhao Bohu thought with a thought, "could it be that the king is worried that I have a grudge and sent you here to comfort me?"
Zhou Gongding looked directly into his clear eyes, neither denying nor confirming, and smiled faintly: "After all, it is the teacher-student friendship that has existed for many years. Sometimes, I really envy you for recruiting Zi Mu! In the two generations of Zhou kings, you have done your duty.
