Ye An had many guesses about the court of the Song Dynasty. When he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he discovered that everything recorded in the history books was just the tip of the iceberg and a drop in the ocean.
Everything now is very different from what is recorded in history books. After all, history books are written by people, and there are too many limitations in them.
The pair of Zhao sisters in front of him were completely beyond Ye An's expectation. They would actually get involved in the struggle for power in the court. Of course, the courtiers hoped that the power would be transferred to Zhao Zhen's hands, so in a sense
Come up and say they stand together.
Therefore, the relationship between the two princesses and civil servants is very close, which can be seen from Li Zunxu's body.
The two princesses in front of them were drinking tea quietly, but a pair of shining "moves" were nailed on Ye An's body. Apparently they wanted Ye An to express his attitude.
Zhao Qingyu's words have already made it very clear. The lone minister can only be the lone minister of Zhao Zhen, not the lone minister of Liu E. It may seem like an understatement, but it is a matter of principle.
Although you are also a solitary minister in the court, everyone is staring at you as a solitary minister!
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "Changsheng is just a young minister of Sinong Temple. Although he is the lord of the founding prince, he is nothing. Even if he is a lonely minister, it is just for the sake of peace."
Zhao Qingyi sneered and said: "You want to protect yourself wisely? I'm afraid it's impossible, right? You found out that there were party members behind the Huanzhou Rebellion. This is beyond the reach of ordinary courtiers. Do you want to look at the Song Dynasty?
Is there anything wrong with Bianzhou?!"
"That's just Chang Sheng's speculation. As for whether Dang Xiang is planning it behind the scenes, Ye An has no evidence. He doesn't have much talent."
"Don't you hope that the officials will take over the government as soon as possible?"
Ye An shook his head slightly: "There are advantages and disadvantages for officials to take charge of the country as soon as possible, and there are also advantages and disadvantages for saints to supervise the country. The choice between the two just depends on whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. If the minister in the court feels that the disadvantages of the saints' supervision of the country are great
, then there will not be a few people who are pro-government, but now..."
Ye An's meaning is also clear. He only looks at the pros and cons. No matter who is in charge of government, as long as it is beneficial to the country, he will assist anyone. Of course, the so-called assisting is also a bit loud, and it should be more appropriate to use effectiveness.
It seems that they are still facing their own people. Zhao Qingyi and Zhao Qingyu are a little dissatisfied with Ye An's statement, but this is also reasonable. It is impossible to force the "little fox" of Ye An's plan to defect.
An impartial attitude.
Zhao Qingyi and Ye An's families have been tied together because of their business, so it is impossible to threaten him with this. As for Zhao Qingyu, she has already become a monk, and she only came forward out of concern for her nephew and the old Zhao family's country.
Obviously, the Huanzhou Rebellion had made both of them feel uneasy, especially after Zhao Qingyi got the terrifying speculation from Ye An.
Only now did Ye An know how much pressure Liu E was facing. Both Zhao Qingyu and Zhao Qingyi supported their nephew, especially when Liu E's power was so strong.
No wonder she brought Wang Qinruo back to check and balance the opposition forces in the court. She was worried that Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian would join forces. As long as the court was slightly more stable, she would be free to deal with other forces.
As for external contradictions... Han civilization pays great attention to internal contradictions. To fight against foreign aggression, one must first settle the internal conflicts. This is not the opposite of Chiang Kai-shek alone. On the contrary, it is the imprint of the Han family flowing in the blood.
Now Liu E is following this old path, so the turmoil in Huanzhou is not the focus in her mind. Liu E will only know the pain when the board hits her.
Ye An did not hesitate at all when he left the Shangqing Palace, even though Li Zunxu stood beside his ox cart and repeatedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Li family!"
Ye An didn't bother to listen to his explanation. In fact, this was the posture that a civil servant should have. But looking at Li Zunxu, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, holding the Wang Gang's hand ready to crack the whip, and facing him with a flattering smile, Ye An still sighed helplessly.
Said: "It doesn't matter whether this matter has anything to do with you, or even the matter itself."
"How can the importance of the national tripod be irrelevant?!"
Li Zunxu was a little dumbfounded. He did not expect that a major issue related to the position of civil servants would become insignificant in front of Ye An. He felt that Ye An's statement subverted his cognition.
"Do you know who the literati are loyal to?"
Li Zunxu was slightly startled: "Isn't it an official family?"
Listen to this answer... As soon as you hear it, you will know that he is not inferior to the civil servant system and is excluded, so the attitude of the Li family is influenced by Zhao Qingyi.
Ye An frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty is also an envoy to the Privy Council, a tutor of the school, and a military governor. How come you don't know this?"
Li Zunxu's face suddenly turned red, and finally he managed to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth: "My late father was a military general!"
It was clear. Ye An nodded slightly and said: "That's no wonder. Maybe your father didn't know it when he came. In fact, the civil servants were loyal to their ideas and the entire Zhao and Song Dynasties. Therefore, being an official and in charge was in line with their wishes to King Yao and Shun.
When thinking about it, they naturally tried their best to encourage officials to pro-government. As for those ministers who hope that the saints will continue to supervise the country and govern the country, they naturally also have their demands. Of course, there are more historical reasons. Do you understand what I mean?
?”
Li Zunxu looked at Ye An and said, "Who are you loyal to, Changsheng?"
Ye An suddenly laughed and said "viciously": "What I am loyal to is rights! It is a right that can bring this country together, and it is a right that can protect our Han family! The saint can do it now, and
But officials can’t!”
"If the officials know this, what do Changsheng think the officials will think?"
Ye An shook his head indifferently: "I'm not afraid, and you don't want to see what I'm doing now? I am a bachelor's student of the official family. My purpose is to make the official family a person more suitable to rule the world than a saint.
Couldn’t the officials see it? Could it be that the saint couldn’t see it? If the saint knew it, why didn’t he stop it?”
Li Zunxu suddenly realized that yes, Liu E did not intend to monopolize power forever, and he did not prevent the official family from reaching the peak of power step by step.
"What Ye Hou means is that we are waiting for...ahem...someone is worrying unfoundedly?"
Ye An couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Come on, let me see what's in your head, Uncle Li. You have been doing business all your life and have been hanging out in the court for so long. Is it even possible to do such a thing?
Can’t you see it? Can’t you see it clearly? What do you think will happen after the saint takes that step? Apart from other things, will there be people in the court who will support the saint? The civil servants want to pay tribute to the kings Yao and Shun basically because they want to leave a name after death!"
"What a wise nephew! This has solved a big confusion in my uncle's heart! This woman is always thinking about her nephew's gains and losses when she has nothing to do, but she doesn't care about the family! Even entering the palace is for the sake of the Zhao family's country.
But in the end, I still acted foolishly."
It was rare for Li Zunxu to burst out with the "heroism" of a man and talk nonsense on the bullock cart, but Ye An knew that this guy would probably "kneel down and sing conquest" to Zhao Qingyi after returning home...
