"When a wise man presides over the moral education, it is advisable to hold his power silently and make decisions at the right time, so as to help the alert and alert." On the usefulness of drama.
"They said, it's all according to your wishes, brother." Zhao Wen said with some annoyance: "In fact, they also have this plan. Although it is not as explicit as the Taiwei, I heard that Yang Shizhong has mentioned it to His Majesty several times and wants to give it to Huangfu.
Song has been sealed."
"Huangfu Yizhen is now a hussar general, and he was originally the Marquis of Huaili with thousands of households in the city. It is said that there is no official or no title." Zhao Qian said slowly with a calm face: "Your Majesty can never let this happen.
He becomes a great general."
The shortcomings of sending Huangfu Song to lead the army to conquer Hedong were revealed at this time. Although the emperor successfully curbed Dong Cheng's rising strength, he now had to face the dilemma of how to reward Huangfu Song.
In fact, Huangfu Song is easy to arrange. After all, there are not many choices left for him. If he is really allowed to become a general, not to mention others, he himself will not be happy.
And everyone can roughly guess that Huangfu Song’s final destiny can only be to give up military power, become a general and become a prime minister. Only in this way can everyone be happy. But the only question now is whether someone is willing to give Huangfu Song
Move position.
"They are all looking forward to my death." Although he knew that there would be such an ending, Zhao Qian was still a little heartbroken.
Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty can actually extend the favor and distribute the reward to Huangfu Song's relatives. Although Huangfu Song has no heirs, he still has a son, Huangfu Li."
"Zirou, don't say any more." Zhao Qian slowly shook his head. The man in front of him was the brother he couldn't be closer to. He no longer hid his words: "No one would like to see Huang Ziyan and I standing side by side in the court.
, whether it’s Your Majesty, Uncle Ma Weng, or the Yang family.”
Zhao Wen asked in a daze: "Mr. Yang is worried about you competing with Huang Sikong for the limelight, but why is Taiwei? If you are at odds with Sikong, wouldn't you be playing into his heart?"
"Brothers are jealous of each other." Zhao Qian looked deeply at Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen understood and said: "Resist the insults from outside."
This is the case for Taiwei Ma Rixi and Shangshu Lingshi Sun Rui. Although they had internal differences and calculations with each other, they were not put on the table, nor did they delay the overall interests of the Kansai scholars. If Zhao Qian returned
If he continues to be in this position, his relationship with Huang Wan will be the same.
It was rare for Zhao Qian to speak for such a long time. Zhao Wen was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and wanted to persuade him to rest, but Zhao Qian waved his hand and refused. He continued: "Yang family, Huan family, isn't that a century-old, powerful surname? If it weren't for me,
Your health is really bad, and there are no disciples or old officials left to you, and you won't end up with them in the end. You have to be careful about everything in the future, don't blindly listen and follow blindly, and have to plan more for me, Mrs. Zhao."
Zhao Wen was also a man who was good at making changes. With tears in his eyes and confusion in his heart, he agreed to whatever Zhao Qian said.
"Now His Majesty wants to promote salt and iron, but has been blocked by many parties. It's time for me to help." Zhao Qian suddenly coughed violently several times. Zhao Wen patted his back and stroked his chest, and helped him stand up and go to the bowl.
After spitting out his phlegm, Zhao Qian's mind suddenly became extremely clear when he lay back on the bed.
He figured out what the emperor meant by sending his close aide Huang Men to see him today. He wanted to hint that he would resign due to illness and free up the position of the Three Lords for others. But in doing so, what were the conditions offered by the emperor? Mr.
Don't you want to let Zhao Qian give away his power in vain?
In addition, the emperor was in an unfavorable situation caused by salt and iron, and it was time to seek the support of Zhao Qian, who still had a strong voice in the court. At this time, Zhao Qian was hinted at withdrawing, if for no other reason.
That's simply a bad move.
Based on Zhao Qian's understanding of the emperor, the other party must have given extremely favorable conditions and hints in advance, otherwise he would never have done this, let alone use Mu Shun's words to remind him.
Zhao Qian tried hard to think about whether he had missed something extremely important. He had been bedridden these days, sleeping all day long, and had never been involved in political affairs. At this time, he really couldn't think of anything wrong, so he had to continue to ask: "Your Majesty
After proposing to reestablish salt and iron, what else have you done? Where have you been? What edicts have you issued?"
He knew that the emperor liked to do things step by step, and every seemingly inadvertent move would lead to great changes. The advantage of doing this was that it was carefully thought out. Others could not see through the emperor's plan and could only lament that the Sacred Heart was unpredictable, which made them more in awe of the disadvantages.
But it makes it difficult for supporters to judge and interpret the emperor's intentions behind it.
The emperor naturally knew this, so every time he would either hint in person or remind him casually, such as Mu Shun who was sent today.
As a guard and a foreign official, Zhao Wen could not appear around the emperor unless he had anything to do. In addition, the emperor had extremely strict control over him and did not allow his close servants to gossip about him. Therefore, even his secretary Lang Wangcan, who was friendly with him, could not be without him.
He hesitated to tell him everything. In this regard, Zhao Wen had to look for clues from the several trips he accompanied the emperor: "Except for going to Shanglin Garden to practice riding and archery, your Majesty has not gone anywhere these days. His Majesty went to Mingguang the day before yesterday.
palace."
"Mingguang Palace has been abandoned for more than two hundred years, with broken bricks and tiles. What's there to see?" At this point, Zhao Qian added: "Is this your third time there?"
Zhao Wen said: "Well, the place was originally deserted. It wasn't until your Majesty went there this time that Duke Yin Cui of Jingzhao and Wang Lingcai, the commander of Chang'an, conscripted and cleared it, and planned to build a small hall on the original platform."
"This is a move to benefit the people." Zhao Qian said: "If no one opposes it, there must be something fishy."
"That's right!" Zhao Wen suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty asked Mr. Taichang to visit Xuanpingmen a few days ago."
Xuanping Gate is near Mingguang Palace. Zhao Qian felt deeply that there was any connection between the two. He licked his dry lips, tried his best to cheer up and said: "Zhongfu? What is this?"
"Sanfu and Hongnong and other places have recently recommended more than 60 Confucian scholars. His Majesty asked Taichang to go to Xuanping Tower to conduct tests on the spot and select the best ones to be admitted as officials."
"Can you tell me what position you were given?" Zhao Qian asked.
This was just a very common move, and there was no direct involvement from the emperor, so it was ignored by Zhao Wen unintentionally. He understood the meaning at this time, and said: "The person who is ranked first is worshiped as a doctor, the person who is ranked second is the prince, and the person who is the last is the prince.
Those who have not been resettled yet.”
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wen hesitated and said: "This seems to be"
"Tai Xue's annual examination method!" Zhao Qian suddenly said excitedly, breathing heavily as he spoke, and after a while he said uncomfortably: "Whether it is Taichang Zhongfu who is in charge of the examination, or whether he is the one who takes the test?
The arrangement of official positions by the participants is all based on the previous imperial court's practice of annual examinations for imperial students."
The Imperial Academy existed in name only after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an. Does your Majesty's move mean to revive the Imperial Academy?
Before Zhao Wen could react, Zhao Qian suddenly grabbed his wrist fiercely.
I saw Zhao Qian gasping weakly, with a rare sharp look in his eyes: "You must see the right time these days and submit a letter to resign on my behalf!"
