Chapter 280: Wake up and take control of the world
There are many people in the imperial study room. There are the newly appointed Prime Minister Ouyang Zheng, the right Prime Minister Wu Zhongshu, the Pushe Liu Si of the Secretariat, and Xu Jie, who is now a member of the Secretariat, has nominal organizational relationships under Liu Si. After Pushe is the Minister, it is the Minister's turn.
There is also Wang Yuanlang, Xu Jie and Wang Yuanlang have seen him in Taiyuan, and in the capital. Wang Yuanlang in the capital is somewhat different from Wang Yuanlang in Taiyuan. Wang Yuanlang in Taiyuan has a gentle and elegant style, but Wang Yuanlang in the capital has a sharp look.
Xu Jie stood in the back row, and the one standing in front of Wu was King Xia Han. Xu Jie was not surprised by this. Xu Jie also knew that this old emperor still didn't like Xia Rui after all, because Xia Han was here, but Xia Rui was even outside the imperial city.
Chang Kai has already held his own troops for such a big event, which is a matter of shaking the country and the country. The old emperor has long since been wrinkled.
At this time, the old emperor seemed to have suddenly become ten years older, his eyes no longer as beautiful as before, and even his sitting posture seemed a little depressed.
Xu Jie looked up and knew that the old emperor might not have much time left. Some things are really hit hard. If there were no such blows, it would be no problem for the old emperor to live for another year or two. If God is favored, it would be possible to live for another three or five years.
But at this time, the old emperor's spirit was really depressed and sluggish.
Xu Jie stood behind everyone and listened to the words of everyone in front of him. Ouyang Zheng was talking about how to issue an order to summon him, and even asked the court to promise Chang Kai's personal safety, put national stability first and overall situation first, so as to avoid the loss of life.
In fact, what Ouyang Zheng said is also a safe method and the least expensive solution.
Wang Yuanlang said that he was worried and worried that he would force Chang Kai to become anxious. He really cooperated with Shi Wei people inside and outside, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Liu Si made a poisonous plan, forcing Chang Kai to submit to the life and death of the entire Chang family in the capital, and saying that the imperial court's majesty cannot be coerced. Liu Si's words actually make sense. If the court is really coerced successfully, if this hole is opened once, there may be endless troubles in the future. The Chang family is not the only one of Chang Kai. There are countless Chang family children under Chang Kai's command, but many families are in the capital. It is also a good way to force the family to exterminate the clan.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and the old emperor could not make a decision for a while.
Seeing Xia Han's embarrassment, Xia Han said: "Father, according to the views of my sons, I have been in great power for three hundred years, and I have been in power all over the world, but I have been in peace for a long time. It is also because of this, which has made many people forget the power of the court. This is actually not a bad thing. According to the views of my sons, Chang Kai's affairs should be a good thing."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xia Han, and Xu Jie also looked at Xia Han. Such remarks were somewhat beyond Xu Jie's expectations. Xia Han was not such a person who could talk like this in Xu Jie's heart, and even made amazing words. Xu Jie was also somewhat expecting, looking forward to the subsequent high remarks of His Highness the King of Wu.
The old emperor was also a little surprised and asked, "What is Han'er's trick? Come on."
Xia Han first looked at the people around him, then raised his head and said, "Father, my Dahua rose up in troubled times, and established a country with military force. Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Shu, Chu, and others, one by one, destroyed them one by one. At that time, how might it be. Many people are afraid that they don't remember it now. Now, when the world knows the power of my Dahua again, Chang Kai rebelled at the right time. It is the time to use troops to wipe out Chang Kai, and then wipe out Chang Kai, which can kill the chicken and warn the monkeys, so that those who are indiscretion in the world will no longer dare to have any disobedient intentions. It is really a good thing and a one-time method. Therefore, my son thought that there must be no compromise. We should use a large army to suppress the people of the Chang family first to sacrifice the flag, and then the army will go to the battle to kill him. My son was willing to proclaim his power on behalf of his father and take back Chang Kai's head in person."
Xu Jie had heard Xia Han say that Chang Kai's affairs were a good thing, and he thought Chang Kai would really have some great arguments. Hearing this, Xu Jie smiled, looked up at the old emperor, and wanted to see how the old emperor reacted.
The old emperor also smiled like Xu Jie and said, "Han'er's plan is quite brave and brave, but she lacks practicality and is too forced, which can easily cause trouble. We should make plans again."
If the old emperor could agree to this method, it would be really a kick to the donkey. Where is Chang Kai? In Datong, when the border of Datong opened, Shi Wei's iron cavalry entered the Central Plains like a wolf or a tiger. This is an opportunity that Shi Wei people have been waiting for for many years. If this situation really happens, Shi Wei people can wake up in a laugh in their dreams, and Changsheng naivety will really appear.
When Xia Han heard this, he said, "Father, my son dares to issue military orders, and cannot destroy Chang Kai. My son comes to see you."
The old emperor waved his hand gently, and saw that everyone present said something else: "Xu Wenyuan, why don't you speak?"
Everyone present was talking, but Xu Jie didn't speak. At this time, he heard the name, and he could only say, "Your Majesty, what the left prime minister said is reasonable, and should be mainly appeased. As long as Chang Kai returns to Beijing, all conditions can be discussed. The stability of the border town is an important matter."
"How can I tell?" asked the old emperor. The left prime minister was Ouyang Zheng. It was normal for Xu Jie to support what Ouyang Zheng said, but this method made the royal face a little bad, and it might even bring some future problems. So the old emperor asked Xu Jie to really tell me that.
"Your Majesty, nearly twenty years have passed since the Battle of Shiwei. When Shiwei attacked the city, it suffered heavy losses. Now twenty years have passed, twenty years have passed and twenty years is a generation. The losses of Shiwei people back then have been made up, and their strong soldiers and horses are not less powerful than that of the past. Now Shiwei is waiting for an opportunity. As long as the time comes, they will inevitably go south. The Central Plains and nomadic people are always like this, and there is no need for any excuses. Therefore, stability in the border town is the most important thing for the country." Xu Jie explained, in fact, it means that after so long, the Shiwei people are already strong and powerful again, and they cannot take risks.
The old emperor asked again: "Where should the majesty of the court be placed?"
Xu Jie replied without thinking: "Li Qiming is dead, and the majesty of the court is already known to everyone in the world. If it weren't for the majesty of the court, how could Chang Kai not dare to return to the capital? Chang Kai's actions were fear of authority."
"Okay, Xu Wenyuan's words have won my heart." said the old emperor.
Xia Han, who was standing aside, looked at Xu Jie with an unhappy expression and said, "Father, Xu Wenyuan's strategy is a coward. If Chang Kai fears power, he will definitely act like apologizing for guilt. How can he still hold troops and respect himself? Don't be deceived by Xu Wenyuan's clever words."
Xu Jie no longer said anything and was too lazy to argue.
The old emperor had already begun to arrange: "Wang Qing, you should quickly lead your troops to Taiyuan, first resist them with the military attack to prevent future troubles. Ouyang Qing will draft an order and report to decide."
The two stepped forward and bowed.
"Father, my son-in-law don't think this is appropriate. According to my son-in-law, the two-minded thieves will not dare to return. The act of appeasement will definitely not work." Xia Han really wanted to compete with Xu Jie.
The old emperor looked at Xia Han and said slowly: "Han'er learns more about the affairs of the government. Regardless of whether it works or not, but now this method should be taken first, and it is safe to do so. If it doesn't work, think about other things."
The old emperor knew how to deal with things, and to deal with plans and changes. The old emperor could use this method, but it was not that the old emperor was so magnanimous. Some things could not be thought about. Even if Chang Kai asked for a price all over the place, what would happen if everything was agreed? After agreeing, what would happen to the Chang family? Some would do it.
This is the emperor's heart, black-hearted, ruthless, and has nothing to do with kindness. Xu Jie knew these things and said those words, and knew that the old emperor would inevitably agree with his thoughts.
When the meeting ended, Xu Jie followed Ouyang Zheng, and Ouyang Zheng turned around and praised: "Wen Yuan, you are as old as you, but you can be so far-sighted. The future of the court is with young people like you."
There is a kind of expectation, expectation, and longing in Ouyang Zheng's words.
Xu Jie heard that he didn't know how to take it. In this era, all people, both civil and military, were just like the words, learned civil and military skills and sold goods to the imperial family.
But Xu Jie is really passive and lazy. Once a person is lazy in his heart, it is useless to say anything. Xu Jie doesn't think that this world cannot be transformed without himself. Just like Ouyang Zheng, perhaps the 20 or 30 years of the imperial court and the government's talent is no better than Ouyang Zheng's right. Even the family foundation of that war was accumulated by Ouyang Zheng in a few years.
But Ouyang Zheng has been in the primary school for more than ten years, and isn’t this country good? Without Ouyang Zheng, the court will not operate.
Xu Jie would not think that the court would not be able to operate without him. No matter how much Ouyang Zheng values or praises him, Xu Jie did not think that he was the chosen one to save the world.
Ouyang Zheng seemed to feel some of Xu Jie's emotions, sighed slightly, and said, "Everyone feels that he is amazing, and he thinks that no one else is better than me, you are the only one. Be careful and old, and thinks that nothing matters."
Xu Jie smiled, heard the helplessness in Ouyang Zheng's tone, and asked back: "Teacher, how do you feel when you have become the left-right husband of the Shangshu Province?"
Ouyang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, stopped and looked back at Xu Jie. He thought seriously, but seemed a little stunned. Then he said, "I have never thought about it seriously. If I were young, when I was promoted, I would invite friends and hangover all over my rank. But now I seem to have no feelings, I can only devote my energy and devote myself to it."
"Teacher, do you have no sense of pleasure when you are in charge of power? Students have heard a saying that wake up and hold the power of the world, and lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful man, so that they can be a real man. Now the teacher can also hold the power of the world, but can they be as refreshing as a real man?" Xu Jie said, with a strange smile on his face.
Ouyang Zheng looked at Xu Jie's expression, raised his hand and gently patted Xu Jie's official hat, and smiled and said, "You kid... are you doing nothing, why don't you have a beauty knee lying with me? Even if you have a beauty knee, I can't lie down. Haha..."
Xu Jie also laughed: "Haha... teacher, why don't you try it? Maybe you're even stronger."
Ouyang Zheng raised his hand and hit him again, but Xu Jie did not dodge. After the beating, Ouyang Zheng looked slightly solemn and said, "I know what you mean, alas... You don't want to live like this, you don't want to work hard every day, you don't want to devote yourself to your whole life. You want to be free and easy. You don't want to take control of the power of the world, but you want to lie drunk on the knee of a beautiful woman. Take a step back ten thousand steps, how can you be safe if a man has no power? How can you ensure that the knee of a beautiful woman can be pillowed for the rest of your life?"
Ouyang Zhengben wanted to talk to Xu Jie about the greatness of ideals, the nobleness of gentlemen, the beautiful virtues, the ability and responsibility, the people of the world, and the pursuit of life.
But Ouyang Zheng did not say it, but said that there were unexpected situations in the world and said some selfish words based on the perspective of individuals. Without power, how can we ensure that we can really be free and unrestrained in our lifetime?
Ouyang Zheng knew that he was not qualified to criticize who was selfish, because people were selfish. Even a person like Ouyang Zheng was not selfish? As long as Xu Jie was in the officialdom, Ouyang Zheng would definitely find ways to make Xu Jie rise to the top. Even Ouyang Zheng would let his son rise to the top in the future. How can this idea be explained by the country for the people, in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from selfishness.
But one thing is certain, to do the politics of his position. Ouyang Zheng also knew that Xu Jie would be like this. These two people couldn't do it. Being an official is not as easy and simple as imagined. It sounds like a country's affairs, in all aspects, to control the power of the world. If you really control the power of the world, then you will never talk about being careless again. In addition to working hard, where can there be anything else in the world?
If life really reaches this point, how could there be anything else except for official documents all day long? Many people think that the work of documents is whining without any illness, but in fact it is a portrayal of reality.
There is also another truth: in life, except for the unsatisfactory life of one's own life, others' lives are enviable. This truth is a portrayal of everyone. Only Buddhism has a more philosophical saying: people are born suffering because no one can live the life they want. This is also the reason why the Western Paradise is attractive to everyone.
Xu Jie just wanted to live the life he wanted.
Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "The teacher is right because of this reason, so students will compete with others in the world. It is also because of this reason that students will remain in the capital at this time."
Ouyang Zheng asked: "Do you really want to leave?"
Xu Jie nodded. The palace gate was not far from the palace gate, and the frame was outside the palace gate. The two got into the car.
As soon as Ouyang Zheng got into the car, he asked: "Wen Yuan, let's talk about the matter between you and the King of Wu."
Xu Jie looked at Ouyang Zheng. This teacher had always been wisdom, but he didn't show it much, but he knew everything. Maybe this was the true wisdom.
Xu Jie didn't hide it and told the story. At the end, Ouyang Zheng frowned and did not let go for a long time. The frame was still in the yamen, and Ouyang Zheng was still frowning.
That night, Xu Jie went to Xie Fang's mansion, and it had been a long time since he was at Xie Fang's mansion. Xu Jie played chess again and played the piano. Xu Jie wanted to learn a few more real skills to entertain himself in his life.
So Xu Jie was particularly serious and Xie Fang was extremely happy. Xie Fang was exhausted during this period, both physically and mentally. With his personality, he participated in the battle between the emperor and Li Qiming. This was actually a torture, but it was also the responsibility he should fulfill as an official position.
Perhaps Xie Fang is the one who wants to resign than Xu Jie. But Xie Fang is still in front of this official position, which is the difference between Xie Fang and Wu Boyan.
It may also be because Xie Fang’s selfishness is some of the selfishness in his heart, because Xie Fang has two sons who are officials in other places, so Xie Fang cannot be truly free and easy. At least in his son’s future, Xie Fang will really care about it.
Wu Boyan also has a son, but Wu Boyan never cared about it. But is it that Wu Zhongshu is in a high position that makes Wu Boyan completely ignore it?
Xie Fang was drunk, and Xu Jie was also a little drunk when he went home.
Walking on the road, Xu Jie felt relaxed. The lights of thousands of families were on fire. Xu Jie remembered the jokes he had with Ouyang Zheng before, and he laughed again, muttering: "Do you have to find some violent medicine to send them, so that the old man can grab a little of the tail of youth and lie on the beautiful knee again?"
Xu Jie talked to himself, half-joking, and was happy. After saying that, he laughed louder. He even touched his own bottom with the intention of drinking, and laughed: "Virgin, Virgin!"
Xu Jie was really happy at this time. He was so happy that he was a little unrestrained for a long time.
Suddenly, Xu Jie seemed to hear a piano sound coming from the front, with only one tone. Xu Jie looked up and looked forward, making Xu Jie's hair stand up.
Xu Jie didn't see anything clearly, but he was cold all over. He suddenly flew up and his body was crisp. After Xu Jie turned around before he landed, he looked at Xu Jie's official hat on the ground, which was already split in half, and a few strands of hair were floating in the air.
Xu Jie changed direction and flipped in a strange posture in the air again, and a sharp force stroked across Xu Jie's body.
Xu Jie was nervous, but his eyes were searching. There was no one around him, and there was no weapon that was coming.
This shocked Xu Jie. When did this martial arts be used in this world? Even those who are like Lu Ziyou and Yang Ershou have their strength and skills, rather than being able to be fired at will and hurt people invisibly.
After listening to a slight sound of the piano, Xu Jie turned over and hid again, and still suspected that the invisible sharp force was related to the sound of the piano.
Then he watched Xu Jie's feet stumble and shot towards the piano sound.
(ps: Lao Zhu had another funeral. Zhu's uncle died of a stroke and left alone. Lao Zhu watched the whole process of death with his own eyes, and used to help a lot. It seemed that he had to face the separation of life and death from his age, one by one until the day when he died of old age. Those who want to read poetry and swords are older, can you see it more slowly?
I'm sorry for being more than banned next month, so I'll do my best!)
