After all this bickering, the two sides finally agreed on the content of the peace treaty, exempting all the two harsh requirements at the beginning, except agreeing to abolish the New Deal and 30,000 taels of silver. Although Niu Yuan was dissatisfied, he still wanted to make peace.
After public discussion, he had no choice but to agree to this condition. Since then, his prestige has been completely lost, and he has been living in the provincial station all day long, not daring to interfere in political affairs. He only served to deliver orders for Liu Zhennian, and he gradually made plans to resign and give way to the throne.
Having lost a capable deputy, Liu Zhennian could only take over the power again and do everything by himself. But after all, he was old, blurred and deaf, and could not handle the complex official affairs nowadays. He still needed the help of a trustworthy person.
Only then. He was planning to teach Ye Yongjia to take charge of the general affairs
However, after only one day, his thoughts changed. He suspected that he was friends with Chen Tongpao's group, and there was a gap in his heart. Looking at the close friends around him, it seemed that there was only one Su Zongshan who was talented and learned and could be used.
He thought that when the new political candidate came back, he would explain it to him in detail.
"You won't forget what you said before?" Lian Chongwen followed Su Zongshan into his mansion and stood at the door of the study, waiting for him to open the door.
"I'm not a person who breaks my word. I will help you solve the problem. I've given you a tael of money without greed, so you still don't want to believe me?" Su Zongshan took the key and opened the copper lock.
He kicked the door lightly and invited Lian Chongwen in.
"Although I want a lot of money, it is extremely difficult to do it. It sounds easy to say that the dismissed officials were involved in the case and were dismissed. But I want to ask Mr. Su, how to prove that they are related to this case? How can we do that?
Guarantee that they will not be resurrected?"
Su Zongshan smiled and said: "Envoy Lian doesn't know. Before you came, a large number of people were killed just because of this shelling case. They were basically the confidants of Mr. Niu. They were directly related to this matter. There is no need to find another reason."
.As for the comeback...do you think Fengxiang can make a comeback?"
"I don't understand your rules," Lian Chongwen shook his head. "Even if it's as you said, my Atlantic ruler is not a fool. What if he learns through some information that these people were there before I came?"
If I were to be dismissed, wouldn't I be cut into pieces? Who dares to take this risk?" After saying that, he looked at Su Zongshan steadily, thinking that he would be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Su Zongshan said calmly: "This is easy. There are still a few of Niu Yuan's confidants, but they have not been expelled all. The reason is probably that they have little power and little threat, so they are not taken seriously. But now you are anxious.
If you want someone, someone can ask them to resign immediately."
Lian Chongwen was very happy and leaned slightly towards him: "Thank you, sir."
Si Tianjian, Zhengshi Zhengxiu, is sixty-three years old this year. In this ever-changing court, he seems to be in a place outside the world, unable to contact, let alone care about the party struggles in the outside world, so he is safe and stable
I spent thirty years leisurely and leisurely
There has never been any turmoil in his heart. Of course, in order to ensure his absolute safety, he often attached himself to Yan Wen, Niu Yuan and other powerful figures, but he did not have too much contact with them.
Just agreeing.
His body bones are still strong and his eyes are still hale and hearty. When talking to others, he just says that he is lucky. This is of course not contrary to his intentions. After all, when his predecessor was still in power, he still had to adjust the calendar every year and was very busy.
But when he took office, the country's laws gradually weakened, and people no longer paid attention to things like revising the calendar. There were no official duties in the prison, so they became lax.
There is no need to even go up on stage to take a look at the sky. After all, there has been great turmoil in recent years. In order to maintain the situation, the imperial court did not allow them to report disasters. So every day they wrote some auspicious signs such as "The star of Jinxian Ming" and "The star of Sui guarding Wenchang".
, and passed it on to the emperor and the ministers in the court. Although everyone knew it well, they were still so happy that they congratulated each other and praised the world for peace.
Shi Zhengxiu originally planned to become an official next month, but he had told everyone the news. Perhaps because of his good popularity, the dignified imperial censor Gui Fu came to see him alone because of this matter, and advised him to stay a little longer.
Year. He couldn't restrain his joy and repeatedly agreed to Gui Yushi's request, and immediately burned the written memorial.
He slept well that night and didn't wake up until noon the next day. As soon as he got up, he heard that the Ministry of Public Affairs wanted to summon him. It must have something to do with becoming an official. He quickly put on his clothes and washed them as if they were brand new.
After wearing his official uniform and smoothing out all the wrinkles on his sleeves, he strode out of Si Tiantai.
"Oh, Lieutenant Gui!" Shi Zhengxiu entered the gate and spotted Gui Fu, who was sitting stunned, and hurriedly went up to him to bow.
Gui Fu did not return the gift immediately. He rubbed his hands on the armchair, looked at him worriedly and said, "...you wrote a secret letter to Niu Fengxiang yesterday?"
"What...what's wrong?" Shi Zhengxiu noticed something was wrong, and slowly separated his hands, "Yesterday, Su Shenzheng came to me in person, saying that the Prime Minister couldn't swallow it because of the failure of the New Deal, and he fell ill at home, crying.
I wrote a letter to urge him to come back and take charge of government as soon as possible."
"But where did Fengxiang fall ill? He has been in charge of the provincial affairs department!" Gui Fu said, pretending to be surprised.
Shi Zhengxiu's face turned pale, and he moved his hands repeatedly at the corners of his clothes: "How could Su Shenzheng lie to me... What's the reason for this?"
"I don't know, but it's impossible for Su Shenzheng to do such a thing, so why bother to frame you as a Si Tianjian? In any case, now your matter has become a big deal, and people in the whole dynasty have begun to discuss, saying that you are a Niuyuan party member.
Alas..." Guifu sighed, "Anyway, he is in the study room, you just go and see him."
Shi Zhengxiu took a long breath, agreed to him in a low voice, and walked out of the capital hall.
"You're finally here, sit down." Su Zongshan was reading a notebook when he heard the creak of the door panel. He quickly put down what he was holding, pulled out a pearwood chair, and asked Shi Jianzheng to sit down.
.
"Why did you..."
Before Shi Zhengxiu's question came out, Su Zongshan waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't be anxious, I will talk to you slowly. Now the fire has burned to the Yushitai, except for Mr. Gui
The ministers at home and abroad are all impeaching each other, and they can no longer stop it. Now you are in a dilemma, and nothing you say will work. Only by acknowledging these impeachments and taking the blame can you stop the spread of rumors."
"It was you who asked me to write that letter! Now you are still talking about this truth openly!" Shi Zhengxiu was filled with anger and couldn't listen to his words at all, so he shouted angrily.
After Su Zongshan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't hide it from you, but I am actually forced by others and have no choice but to do it."
