Chapter five hundred and fifty-four the confidence of the solitary minister
The content of the court meeting was not much, but it was very lengthy. It not only reflected the etiquette of the Tian family, but also made Ye An feel the barriers and divides between the civil and military officials in the court.
It can be said that the most basic trust between people is decreasing. Civil servants, military generals, and Liu E have become a tripartite force. However, when these three parties compete, there is also some conflict between the forces of the rear party and the imperial party.
Ye An, who originally planned to sleep against the palace pillar, was finally amazed by the power and methods in the Song Dynasty court and lost all sleep.
Although I don’t want to be entangled, I can only be on my own when I understand the forces of all parties. Otherwise, can I cope with it freely?
The main purpose of the Dachao meeting is to summarize the results of the Huanzhou Rebellion. Since the turmoil of the Western Qiang people has been quelled, it is natural to reward them based on their merits. However, no one cares about the Song army outside Tokyo. Everyone
The credit should be attributed to Liu E's proper employment, Fan Yong's good leadership, Cao Yi's bravery and skill in fighting, as well as Ye An's blocking of the Xiqiang people at Qingping Pass and several great victories.
This is what Ye An is happy to see happen, and it is also the inevitable result after he rejected all forces.
"The great victory in Huanzhou not only put down the rebellion of the Western Qiang people, but also ambushed the elite party members so that they did not dare to invade the border for several years. It can be said that it was a complete victory and a battle. It is the wisdom of a saint and the virtue of an official!
"
Wang Qinruo was the first to discuss his merits. After hearing this, Ye An knew what he was going to do. He described Liu E's merits, while Zhao Zhen's were just illusory things and made judgments.
Li Zunxun curled his lips and whispered: "This traitor must have said that Your Majesty is young, and a saint should work hard for the country and assist Your Majesty..."
"However, since the emperor is young, he should learn more about politics. A sage should rule the overall situation and rule the country. He should be in charge of the four directions!"
Ye An looked at Li Zunxun in surprise. Sure enough, he had been hanging out in the court hall for a long time and had heard from his acquaintance. He could guess what Wang Qinruo said.
"The merits of the saints cannot be ignored. However, this is the law of the country. Only when the ministers serve the country wholeheartedly and the civil and military forces work together can such a glorious victory be achieved! Now that the victorious army has been outside the city for a long time, the people are at a loss.
It is not the manners of a superior country to laugh at someone outside the court!"
Sure enough, it was Lu Yijian, civil and military, internal and external, who worked together to expose Liu E's thoughts, and also forced some "advisers" into the corner...
If anyone in the court can launch an organized and planned attack, it must be the civil servants. As long as the civil servants stand together, few people can resist.
After all, there are only a few courtiers who agree with Wang Qinruo. Who doesn't cherish their reputation in the imperial court? Except for Wang Qinruo's confidants, no one else will express their stance at this time.
Following Lu Yijian's revolt, Wang Zeng was naturally not to be outdone. He was the courtier who tried to protect the young emperor's ascendancy. He said loudly: "Now that the country has won a great victory, the official family deserves its title of ruling the world. It should be the country's dynasty."
What a blessing, it is a blessing for the people of the world! The return of righteousness will bring the world to your side, the imperial line will continue and all the people will obey! Your Majesty, I once sent a memorial to invite the saint to return to power!"
"I am writing to invite the saint to return to your Majesty's administration!"
This has forced Liu E to a dead end. Ye An slowly closed his eyes. If he looked at the court again, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. He didn't expect that what he had spent so much effort on Baal and risked his life to get was actually in the end.
It will turn into a forced marriage.
And this forced palace will definitely trigger the estrangement between mother and son of the Tian family, and even more fierce confrontation in the court, which is almost a devastating blow to the stability of the Song Dynasty.
But at this moment, Zhao Zhen spoke: "I am still young and old... The saint has been behind the curtain for a long time, and the matter of stabilizing the country has been decided by the saint since the death of the late emperor. I am incomparable. Now the power of the country
Seeking stability, waiting for me..."
"Your Majesty's words are inappropriate. At present, the country is stable and the seas and rivers are clear. It is the time when Your Majesty is in charge. His youth is not a concern. The sixteenth Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, which is the foundation of a strong and prosperous Han Dynasty!"
Cao Lili's sudden defection caught everyone in the Daqing Palace off guard. The civil servants would not have thought that the Privy Councilor they were afraid of would actually support the officials and refute Zhao Zhen's words in front of Liu E.
As for Liu E, who was behind the bead curtain, she was even more surprised. Lan Jizong could clearly feel her shoulders shaking.
It was Liu E who appointed Cao Yong as the privy envoy at a critical moment. Unexpectedly, he would turn against the civil servants at this time. Anyone with a little sense would know that this was a show of goodwill and loyalty to the officials!
"Hey, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Cao Liang would choose the opportunity to act. It seems that he is planning for the officials, isn't he also cultivating the civil servants?"
Li Zunxu's words made Ye An suddenly realize, yes, this is another "kill two birds with one stone" strategy, a very smart way of killing two birds with one stone!
It's scary to think about it! Ye An feels that he is too young compared to the big bosses in the court. Whether it is talking or doing things, plotting, or even standing in line, he is not as good as others.
"Brother Li really has a poisonous vision, but who in this court really cares about the future of Huanzhou or the warriors outside the city?"
Ye An's words made Li Zunxu freeze his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "You are wrong, there are indeed people. The officials have issued an order to allocate the brocade silk and copper coins stored in the inner treasury to reward the army. Although the amount is not large, it is
I have ordered the Third Division to collect the genuine reward, I am afraid that the princes in the court still don’t know about it..."
clever!
Sure enough, you have grasped the benefits. What is most important after the war? Of course it is the reward! This is the best opportunity for you to win people's hearts. If you miss it, Ye An will have to say something to the little emperor!
Since Zhao Zhen has done it, it is a good thing. He raised his head to look at Zhao Zhen on the throne, only to see him looking at him with stern eyes. Ye An nodded slightly.
The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth raised slightly. Although he couldn't move too much while sitting on the throne, he believed that his "little gentleman" of the same age was affirming him.
Touching the memorial in his sleeve, he felt more confident.
With a slight cough, the entire court fell into silence, which actually made Zhao Zhen feel a little scared, but then he said: "The army has returned to the court after winning the victory. The soldiers are fortunate to have suffered. There should be a reward. I should also reward the army and remove the armor of the soldiers.
, offer prisoners to the Ancestral Temple to comfort the ancestors! This is a prosperous age, why bother with it elsewhere?
The most important thing for the people of the world is food, grain, and harvest. All the memorials I have collected recently are full of praise. There is only one memorial that makes me happy. It was written by Fan Ziyuan and Ye An, the young ministers of Sinong Temple.
, although they are quite meant to be remonstrances, I am deeply gratified by the two people's determination to take care of farming for the people of the world.
There is something in the book advising me, "We should follow the steps and treat the victorious army with etiquette. After that, the government of the country should put the people first, promote good seeds, and provide food and clothing for all the people!" This statement is conclusive and resounding!
I see you today arguing about the affairs of the Lord, and when I think of the people who are hungry and cold in the winter, I feel ashamed to praise you all!
The saint hangs down the curtain and governs the four directions. It is the system of the former emperor. I am still young. I can also study state affairs in Zishan Hall. It is also okay to sit in the court and listen to the government. When the saint has the rules in his heart, he will return the government to me! Why do I need courtiers?
Please? Wouldn’t it alienate the mother-son relationship between me and the saint?!”
What does it mean to be courteous and polite? What does it mean to be impressive? What does it mean to be a guest?
The stunned Li Zunxu suddenly turned his head to look at Ye An, and lowered his voice and said: "You cunning boy, you are trying to drain the fire, but you have also offended everyone. Let's see how you behave in the court in the future!"
"Don't forget, I am a lonely man! What you are telling is the truth! To attack me is to slap the official's face, don't you think?"
