Prime Minister Su Fengji immediately objected, saying that since ancient times, only the central government can command the local government. How can the local government command the central government? If Guo Wei is released but retains the Privy Council, then central affairs will be subject to local will, and Bianzhou will be subject to Weizhou. Are you kidding?
Shi Hongzhao was immediately furious, saying that Guo Wei's trip was not only to control Weizhou, but also to coordinate and organize all the forces of the towns in Hebei to counter the Khitan. If there was no official title from the central government and it was just a district on the same level as the towns, If this happens, coordination work will be difficult to carry out and will inevitably encounter many obstacles.
Nowadays, the main contradiction of the Later Han Dynasty is the ethnic contradiction, and the biggest threat is the threat of the barbarians in the north. Therefore, all work must give a green light to the resistance to the Liao Dynasty, and special measures should be taken. Therefore, Liu Chengyou finally agreed to Shi Hongzhao's suggestion, and Guo Wei still retained the title of Privy Councilor.
The reason why Shi Hongzhao supported Guo Wei was for his own sake, because everyone was in the same boat and had common interests. If Guo Wei sets a precedent today, then the precedent will become the norm. In the future, Shi Hongzhao can also serve as a local military envoy while retaining the power of the privy envoy.
It was with Shi Hongzhao's support that Guo Wei became the uncrowned king north of the Yellow River. Liu Chengyou issued an edict that all resources such as troops, food and wages, personnel and materials north of the Yellow River were under the control of Guo Wei alone!
On April 16, all civil and military officials paid a farewell party to Guo Wei. Prime Minister Dou Zhengu held a banquet at his home, and all officials gathered together happily.
During the dinner, Shi Hongzhao stood up and toasted Guo Wei, and Guo Wei also stood up and returned the toast. Shi Hongzhao held the wine glass and said sternly: "At the imperial meeting yesterday, someone actually spoke against us. I don't know what their intentions were!" As he said that, he glanced at Su Fengji viciously from the corner of his eye.
Su Fengji also quickly picked up the wine glass, signaled to Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei at the same time, and said: "Different voices should be allowed for national affairs. Besides, I am dedicated to the public. I have no other intentions. Don't abandon private interests because of public affairs."
Military general Yang Bin also stood up to help smooth things over and said for Su Fengji: "Yes, public is public and private is private. When discussing in a meeting, there are always pros and cons, so why bother."
Shi Hongzhao snorted coldly and said to Yang Bin and Guo Wei who were helping to save the siege: "To defend the country and protect the people, we have always relied only on spears and swords. What is the use of so many awls?"
"Mao Zhuizi" is the martial artist's name for the writing brush, and it also expresses a contemptuous name for scholars.
At this time, Wang Zhang, who was in charge of the third division, couldn't help but defend Su Fengji and said, "If there were no Mao Zizi, where would the army's salary and rewards come from?" Or the accounting staff can speak, and use their own work as a metaphor, which is reasonable. Well-founded and easy to understand.
In fact, Yang Bin, who was also in the military camp, also had conflicts with Su Fengji, but in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he still chose to intercede for Su Fengji; although Wang Zhang was also a "mao awl", he also hated the civil service group very much and was usually very He was hostile to Su Fengji, but he also spoke for Su Fengji in this farce.
With the joint persuasion of Yang Bin, Wang Zhang and others, as well as the mediation of the owner Guo Wei, Shi Hongzhao finally suppressed his anger. Although there was no bigger commotion, the dinner ended on bad terms.
Just one month later, Shi Hongzhao drank like crazy at the wine table again, almost killing someone.
1.2.3 “May Wine Bureau”
Just one month after the "April Wine Bureau", on May 16, Wang Zhang hosted a banquet at his home to entertain civil and military officials. At first, it went very smoothly. Colleagues chatted and laughed, and drank more and more wine. So someone suggested drinking in an elegant way - drinking orders.
According to records, this is a drinking game in which gestures are used as drinking orders, and the loser will be punished with drinking. It should be a game similar to punching. Maybe the rules are different in different places, but Shi Hongzhao, a rough man from the army, can't play and doesn't understand the rules.
At this time, Yan Jinqing, the envoy of the Hakka Province, happened to be sitting next to Shi Hongzhao, and Yan Jinqing patiently explained the rules of the game to him. The job of an envoy to a foreign province is to represent the central government in visiting local areas or foreign countries, and to be proficient in the drinking culture of various parts of the country and at home and abroad. Yan Jinqing is considered a high-ranking master in this regard. Under his guidance, Bronze Shi Hongzhao will definitely be able to lie flat. fly.
So, Su Fengji said to Shi Hongzhao: "With an old driver named Yan accompanying you, are you still worried about being fined for drinking?"
This sentence seems ordinary, but it is a double entendre. Because Shi Hongzhao's wife was also named Yan, and her previous job was not glorious. In classical Chinese, she was called a "drunken prostitute."
You can say shameless in front of a dwarf, but don't call a thief bald in front of a monk. Su Fengji, a veteran driver who has been professionally serving as a bartender for thirty years and whose surname is Yan, made Shi Hongzhao furious with one sentence.
Shi Hongzhao immediately spit out fragrance and cursed Su Fengji with the most vulgar and obscene words.
Su Fengji knew he was speechless and did not dare to speak back, so he remained silent.
The more Shi Hongzhao cursed, the more he couldn't understand his hatred. He immediately punched Su Fengji, but Su Fengji dodged.
"You still dare to hide?"
Shi Hongzhao turned around, drew his sword, and chased Su Fengji. Su Fengji performed the King of Qin's running around the pillars with flexible positioning.
At this time, Yang Bin came to the rescue again. He hugged Shi Hongzhao tightly, and was so anxious that he burst into tears. "Mr. Su is the prime minister of the dynasty and the leader of all officials. If you kill him, how will you explain it to the emperor? Brothers, you should think twice!"
Wang Zhang, the owner of the wine shop, also advised Shi Hongzhao to calm down, and at the same time winked at Su Fengji, "Run away!"
Su Fengji escaped in embarrassment and ran wildly.
Shi Hongzhao chased him out with his sword and jumped onto his BMW. Yang Bin quickly grabbed his reins.
"Ah, I'm going home. Lao Yang, let go."
Yang Bin immediately called his entourage to bring his horse, "The wine has not been finished, the conversation has not been fully discussed, and I haven't visited my house for a long time, so I might as well disturb you today." Then he and Shi Hongzhao rode together and sent Shi Hongzhao home. Soothe and enlighten.
After Liu Chengyou heard about it, he ordered Wang Jun, the envoy of Xuanhui, to hold a party to reconcile the hangover in Gongzi Pavilion. Shi Hongzhao refused to give this honor, and the solution to the hangover ended in vain.
Since then, the conflicts between civil and military generals have reached their peak.
Su Fengji was very frightened, so he planned to take the initiative to go out and become a military governor in the local area to avoid Shi Hongzhao, but he soon sobered up, "Once I leave the center, a small note from Shi Hongzhao can make me shatter into pieces, like a pinch." Kill me like an ant."
It was from this moment that Su Fengji began to figure out how to get rid of Shi Hongzhao.
2. Yang Bin
2.1 Yang Bin and others
Yang Bin is a native of Weizhou. When he was young, he was a temporary worker in a government department, responsible for paperwork and archives. This background is very important. His background as a "official" made him hate "officials" extremely much, which paved the way for his life.
His outstanding performance at work brought him into the sight of a big leader, who not only promoted him to the position of impound officer and was responsible for tax collection, but also married his daughter to him. Because at that time, the great leader was tasked with an important and arduous task of plundering the people.
