"Servant Han, congratulations. You must fulfill your duties as the military supervisor this time. I dare to say that as long as everything goes well, you will be given a new official position when you come back. Now you have fulfilled your wish." Two figures After finding a secret place and standing still, the one who spoke was Weiwei Qing Zu Zhongen.
The old man's tone seemed a little careless, and it was obviously not the answer Han Xizai wanted. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I would like to thank you, old general. I am devoting myself to you and you should be loyal to your majesty. But I'm sorry. There is still something unclear, and I hope the old general can give me some advice!"
Zu Zhongen grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, curled his five fingers, and said calmly: "Shilang Han, you can speak frankly."
Han Xizai nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. The reason why I stood up to seek this job was actually a helpless move. After Prime Minister Sun was deposed, I was extremely unwilling to wade into troubled waters again. The general has a sharp eye and should be able to see my current position..."
"Stop it!" Zu Zhongen interrupted unceremoniously, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp: "Servant Han, if you are still covering up in front of me, why bother to stop me? Your position, Minister Han, has never been Your Highness, King Yan?"
Looking at the veteran general's calm eyes, with an expression of insight into world affairs, Han Xizai suddenly became startled, and then hurriedly whispered: "Old general, in this case, I can only speak out boldly! For many years, the country and the dynasty have been monopolizing power. , previously it was the Feng brothers and others who had defiled the holy hearing, and now King Zheng and his party were also involved in the arbitrariness, and the court had long been in a state of turmoil...
His Royal Highness, King Yan, is polite, benevolent, and upright by nature, and is deeply in line with the legacy of the great ancestors. Only if he ascends the throne in the future can our Tang Dynasty be able to clarify the world and regain prosperity. This so-called rebellion by Li Yuan was unanimously discussed by Feng and Xu, and it was obvious that there was an unknown conspiracy.
Old general, you are the founding minister of our country, and I dare not hide anything. Li Yuan, Governor Li, is actually an outside arm of His Majesty King Yan... His Majesty's weight in front of His Majesty has been greatly reduced since the defeat of the Northern Expedition. Regardless of whether Li Yuan is treasonous or not, in short, if he fails again Without him, His Highness's situation will only become more difficult in the future...
In short, I, Han Xizai, have completely offended Feng Xu and others today. The old general has also seen it. Feng Yanji’s eyes today want to eat me, and I am afraid that he will also target the old general in the future! What I want to ask is, the old general has never asked about political affairs, why did he come forward to help me this time? Could it be that you also support His Highness King Yan..."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Zu Zhongen shook his head and said: "Shilang Han has misunderstood me! Since I followed the late emperor, I have never been interested in the affairs of the court. This is not my responsibility. For me, no matter who inherits the Tang Dynasty in the future, As long as it is of royal blood, there is no difference in the rest.
You don’t need to tell me more about the relationship between Li Yuan and King Yan. Although I am old, I am not confused. Others don't know that old guy Zhou Zong, but I know him very well. He has always advocated direct succession. This was true when His Majesty came to the throne, and it is the same now. Therefore, he and his son-in-law are naturally on the side of His Majesty's eldest son, King Yan. This is self-evident.
I came forward today because I couldn’t bear the misfortune of your majesty’s bloodline in Langzhou, otherwise I would never have spoken for you. Because I understand that as long as you, Minister Han, go to supervise the army, Wei Cen will not dare to use troops indiscriminately, so that His Highness Prince Zheng can be protected as much as possible. Of course, if Li Yuan really does something rebellious, he should still take our country as our priority.
As for how Feng Xu and others will target me in the future, I don't need you to worry about it. I have been on the battlefield for many years, so I can’t be easily manipulated, and I don’t have the guts to measure them..."
Han Xizai had an obvious look of disappointment on his face, then squeezed out a wry smile and said: "The old general is still so upright and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but he is still superficial after all!
However, old general, please forgive me for talking too much. Even people like Li Yuan and others who claim to be the world's guardians, Feng Yanji and others dare to make decisions. If they really bring down a whole town of envoys this time, their arrogance will be unleashed. out of hand. Even if the old general wants to remain neutral at that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult... If the old general stands up for me today, sooner or later there will be a conflict with Feng Yanji and others, why not prepare early - "
"It doesn't matter." How could Zu Zhongen fail to hear Han Xizai's intentions and immediately rebuffed calmly: "You don't need to worry about how I can take care of myself, Minister Han. You should worry about yourself first! The sages said, if you govern a great country, you don't have to worry about it. Cooking fresh food. Everyone wants to have a share of the imperial palace, but if you are not strong enough and can't even put it on the table, you won't even be able to smell it in the end..."
Seeing that Han Xizai was silent, Zu Zhongen wanted to leave, but glanced at the eaves of the Golden Palace in the distance, but he couldn't help but frowned, as if he had other thoughts, hesitated for a moment, turned around and said: "I understand, in the future After Sun Cheng came out of the capital, you, Minister Han, have been holding back and waiting. You just want to gain a foothold in the court and hope to wait until the day when the court is revived. But you have to understand one sentence. If you want to destroy the enemy, it is always better to take the initiative than to be passive. It's much better to wait.
But don’t blame me for speaking outright, but you, Minister Han, are not even qualified to take the initiative. To put it bluntly, I hope you will not focus on those illusory so-called ambitions, but first weigh the weight of your own reality. Although His Majesty has great trust in you. Jia, but after all, your purple robe is still in name but not in reality. Even Pin Yi can't compare to Feng Yanji, so what are you going to fight for? "
Han Xizai swallowed his saliva. It was rare to see Zu Zhongen speak like this. He suddenly had a premonition of something and hurriedly raised his hands and asked: "What do you mean, old general?"
"You, Minister Han, might as well keep an eye on Feng Yanji's position. To be honest, I hope that you will benefit the most from this incident. As long as you can become the left prime minister and your biggest supporter, you will be qualified and capable. Have the confidence to purge the court.
Do you think that if you remain patient and wait, the enemy will let you go? It's just that I don't want to do anything to you now. To them, you have already become the fish on their anvil and the soup in the wok. "
Cold sweat broke out on Han Xizai's back, and he couldn't help but said in horror: "The old general wants me to take the position of left prime minister?! No, no, wouldn't I immediately become the number one thorn in Feng Yanji and others' eyes?" "
Zu Zhongen smiled and said: "When did you, Minister Han, not become a thorn in Feng Yanji's side? As for whether you are the number one, since you dare to stand up today, don't you know the consequences? After today, we will really compete with whose methods are ruthless. It's time to compare who is stronger.
If you can occupy the position of left prime minister, you will have the confidence to compete with others. If you don't even have the weight of your position, you will naturally be slaughtered..."
