Chapter 1205 Lack of Prime Minister
Zhao Cheng returned with honor and stepped down as prime minister, and then the court was shocked.
Especially the Political Affairs Hall, it is like an earthquake, and people's hearts change drastically, or people's hearts are ups and downs.
Logically speaking, the next prime minister should be Sun Zhao, after all, he was in his forties and has been a minister for many years, and his qualifications are suitable.
However, Sun Zhao also has shortcomings, and he is very frugal. His years of wealth career have made him develop a stingy problem, and he does not have the relaxed mind as much as Zhao Cheng, so both the court and the officials behind the government affairs hall were talking about it.
The words of virtue that do not match the position are disturbed.
Sun Zhao was very annoyed. As the second prime minister, it was right for him to inherit the prime minister. How dare they?
However, he was still rational after all. When Zhao Chengrong returned, he couldn't help but complain privately: "As soon as my husband left, there were very few old ministers in the Xingwang Mansion, and the court was incredible."
"You can't say that!" Zhao Cheng stroked his beard and looked at Sun Zhao's angry look. He couldn't help but smile: "Mianzhi, you are like this, it seems that you are not happy to go back?"
"Old husband, you don't know!" Sun Zhao said helplessly: "The government and the opposition are talking, and the Prime Minister is hanging in the air. I'm really angry."
"You are still worried!"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "Now, there are only you and Deng Huazhang in the Political Affairs Hall. They are old ministers from Yuan Dynasty. He is younger and harder to accept. Your Majesty can't hand over the government to those old people in the previous dynasty?"
A word woke up the dreamer, and Sun Zhao suddenly realized.
Yes, how many years have I been in the court for many years? How many years have I been feeling anxious? There are only ones who may be myself.
"Thank you, my old husband, for your advice!"
Sun Zhao bowed.
"I am just a man and I can help you, but remember one thing!" Zhao Cheng said softly.
"You said!" Sun Zhao was respectful.
"In the future, as the prime minister, remember to make a statement in person and rarely participate in the struggle for power, especially if you have been a secondary minister for many years. If you should let go of financial matters, you have to let go!"
"This..." Sun Zhao hesitated. It was still a bit difficult for him to let go of the finances that had been in charge of many years.
"Confused-" Zhao Cheng cursed lightly and couldn't help but say, "As the Prime Minister, he has great power in human affairs, and if he holds financial power, how can the world tolerate you, and how can the court tolerate you!"
Sun Zhao woke up in shock and said that not only the court, but the one in the palace could not tolerate him.
"The Prime Minister focuses on assisting, regulating the court and mastering the battle. Don't be too careful about some branches and leaves, but instead fall into a inferior position."
"I'm here to learn from you!" Sun Zhao was filled with emotion and couldn't help but bow to you sincerely.
"Just understand!" Zhao Cheng nodded and sighed and said, "As soon as I leave, I will never see Luoyang in my life. It's okay. I have worked hard for half my life and returned to my hometown!"
"Report, Your Majesty is here to say goodbye to your husband!" At this moment, there was a sudden shout.
Zhao Cheng was shocked and hurried out of the car with Sun Zhao. Then he looked at the dusty scene in the distance and couldn't help but feel moved.
"What Xiang Gong is doing is so fast!"
Li Jia rode on a horse and looked majestic and extremely heroic.
"The old minister returned home and actually asked His Majesty to come in person. It's really, really..."
Zhao Cheng was so moved that he couldn't speak.
“Isn’t this supposed to be?”
Li Jia got off the horse and said, "Ten years of the king and his subjects, how many decades can a person have in his life? Together, the old husband made great contributions!"
Immediately, the emperor asked someone to bring a box containing a million-dollar money ticket and said casually: "After the king and his ministers, just accept it!"
Zhao Cheng looked at it, finally nodded, signaling his son to accept it.
This is a private gift from the emperor. Considering that Zhao Cheng has spent a lot of money all the way, his family's wealth may be difficult to match.
After all, Xianggong Zhao is also a decent person. He can't be shabby along the way. He must be decent for retirement, and it is appropriate to be loyal to him.
Sun Zhao looked at the box with envy. No matter what it was inside, it represented the emperor's favor for it.
The king and his subjects said goodbye again, but in the end, they could not resist time, so Zhao Cheng left slowly.
Li Jia rode on the horse, staring at the carriages and a team of cavalry, and looked for a long time until they disappeared, and then turned back.
This behavior aroused a lot of responses in the court, highlighting the emperor's image of affection and righteousness. All officials were excited: It's great to have such an emperor!
The newspaper was also quickly printed, with capital title: On the merits of Xianggong Zhao
Zhao Pu came to Wang Pu's house, and the two of them discussed the situation in the court while playing chess: "The Prime Minister was hanging in the air for several days, but Grandpa Sun was not in a hurry!"
"The first few of him were a little impatient, and today he was stable!"
Wang Pu did not raise his head and said directly: "By the way, this political affairs hall can only be him. If Your Majesty seeks stability, it must be him."
Nowadays, the rankings in the Political Affairs Hall are Sun Zhao, Deng Bin, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Zhao Pu. Relatively speaking, Wang Pu still has hope.
Zhao Pu was honest and knew that he couldn't do it, so he asked Wang Pu to give it a try.
Wang Pu knew that he had no chance of the position of the Prime Minister now, and whispered: "Mr. Sun has been in charge of financial power for ten years, Mr. Deng has a little bit of personnel, so we have to keep a low profile!"
"Don't forget our identity!"
Wang Pu whispered, and Zhao Pu woke up from his dream, then smiled bitterly and said, "Is it impossible for us?"
"Not impossible, it's impossible now!"
Wang Pu also wanted to be the prime minister, but he didn't have enough qualifications and forced himself to take office was just a shame. He couldn't help but say, "What's the use of planning here? Everything is in the Holy Prison, so Sun Zhao is no longer impatient."
"Just follow the times."
"Besides, for us, one has been introduced, and power naturally changes-"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and stopped talking.
The court was full of troubles, and Li Jia was quite comfortable staying in the harem.
In order to serve the sect leader, Goryeo has changed its lukewarmness and now seems particularly enthusiastic in order to obtain hundreds of miles south of the Yalu River.
It seemed that I had inquired about something. This time, I sent nearly a hundred petite and beautiful Silla maids, who were considerate and gentle, held in my arms, looking delicate and well-behaved, and there was a hint of coolness in summer.
While enjoying the exotic style, the prime minister had been vacant for five or six days, and finally the discussions flocked from the court to the harem. A large number of memorials were told intentionally or unintentionally, which made the emperor quite annoyed.
In fact, it is good not to have a prime minister. The political affairs hall is full of sand. It is too much trouble, but there are too many books that make it difficult to deal with.
Forget it!
Although Sun Zhao is not very satisfactory, it has been working hard for many years. Let’s drive the ducks on the shelves!
"Come, go and announce the imperial edict, and add Sun Zhao as the third rank of the subordinate of the Secretariat of the Secretariat--"
"promise--"
