Chapter 406: Father-in-law
Wu Zheng looked at Qian Sule steadily, and Qian Sule also looked at Wu Zheng like this.
After a while, Wu Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to propose Mr. Wozi as the first assistant of the cabinet, but it seems that I have to choose someone else." ”
Qian Sule was stunned, he and Chen Zilong always thought that Wu was bound to win the position of first assistant, and it was originally a must-fight, but they found that the position of first assistant did not have much real power, so they gave up.
But at this time, when he heard Wu Zheng say that the first assistant position was going to recommend Chen Zilong, Qian Sule was indeed surprised.
But he has a lot of experience, and he immediately understood Wu Zheng's intention, which is to exchange interests.
But the problem is that Qian Sule can't push it, because Wu Zheng said that he wants to recommend Chen Zilong, and Qian Sule can't make up his mind for Chen Zilong.
For a while, Qian Sule was speechless and fell silent.
"Father-in-law."
This is the first time that Wu Zheng has called Qian Sule so in person since the marriage of the two families, which made Qian Sule tremble.
"Otherwise, you'll do it."
These words made Qian Sule feel that something was wrong.
But Wu Zheng suddenly changed his tone, "The son-in-law thinks that he is not a decent gentleman, but he has an obsession of loyalty to the country and the nation in his heart, and he will not be inferior to his father-in-law." All told me that my father-in-law was more suitable than Mr. Wozi, my father-in-law was calm, Mr. Chen was impatient, and my son-in-law thought so too. If the son-in-law nominates his father-in-law as the first assistant, I am afraid that it will cause Mr. Wozi to insist on opposing Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet, and it will also cause the separation between his father-in-law and Mr. Wozi, which has all kinds of harm and no benefit to the country and the court...... Ay! ”
Qian Sule was stunned, listening to Wu Zheng's sudden confession of true feelings, he had a shock.
Is this still the Zhenguo Gong Wu Zheng, who leans towards the government and the opposition and is so arrogant that he insists on killing the literati who oppose him in the whole city as soon as possible at the noon gate?
These words aroused the depression and grievances in Qian Sule's heart, which was dug and designed by Chen Zilong and others.
Qian Sule couldn't help but sigh from this, "What you said is that everyone in this world should have a quiet desk." ”
"My father-in-law is a reasonable person, and he should understand that King Lu is not a master who can be relied on after all, but the change of Chun'an has indeed made the son-in-law angry with the ministers of Yingtianfu."
Qian Sule looked at Wu Zheng bitterly, "Hey...... If...... If it was before Chun'an, you would have made your life experience public, and there would have been no change in Chun'an. ”
The meaning of Qian Sule's words, Wu Zheng understood it.
"It's not too late!"
Qian Sule glanced at Wu Zheng deeply, "You have to get that...... Location? ”
Wu Zheng said solemnly: "Yes." The son-in-law knows that this road is extremely difficult to walk, and he may be notorious because of it, and even die because of it, but if I don't do it, this world is Manchu, and my father-in-law must know this very well in his heart. What has Shaoxing done in the past two years? If it weren't for my existence, the change of Fang Guo'an alone, the imperial court would have died. The government orders are mediocre, the military discipline is lax, everyone only knows intrigue and power, the father-in-law, the martyred Zhang Gong and Zhang Cangshui, such a righteous man and gentleman, have been repeatedly suppressed and unable to display their ambitions, and there is no cure in this world. And what I want to do is to tear down and start over, and keep the inheritance of thousands of Han people, the foundation of survival - this land. ”
Qian Sule looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and only after a while did he speak: "But why do you have to recommend Ma Shiying to the cabinet?" In public and private, he is not a good minister, and he will do you all kinds of harm but no benefit. Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, and the prerequisites for the Ming Lord. ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "I thought it was ridiculous, after there are villains in the world, a gentleman will appear." In other words, there are few gentlemen and many villains in the world. What my father-in-law meant, let me kiss the minority and abandon the majority, so clear to the Lord, how ridiculous? In my opinion, the only way to save the present is to do the opposite. ”
Qian Sule was a little confused, was the saint's words wrong?
"Besides, I don't think Ma Shiying is a villain, at least a real villain with merit. Even if he is really a villain, if he uses his villain's way to deal with the Tartars, wouldn't it be in line with the way of making the most of everything? Knowing people and making good use of them is the prerequisite for becoming a master, does your father-in-law think so? ”
Qian Sule was really a little confused, he was stunned for a long time, stood up, and suddenly asked: "The gentleman deceived him, if according to what you said, the rule of the country should be a villain?" ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "The gentleman is the foundation, the villain is the means, and each goes his own way, so that the world can be peaceful." ”
"But if the heart is not right, what is the good result?"
"The consequences of a good person doing an errand are far more destructive than a bad person doing a bad thing. The idea is important, but the result is even more important, and the process is negligible. ”
Qian Sule let out an "oh", as if he understood something, he asked again: "I don't understand one thing, if you don't tell me this, but directly recommend me as the first assistant tomorrow, causing a dispute between me and Mr. Zi, in this way, wouldn't my voice in the court be higher?" Why....... ”
"Too much?" Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The fight between you and Mr. Wozi is a loss of the strength of the entire imperial court. If I did that, my intention would have been wrong, and the outcome would have been wrong. ”
Qian Sule nodded silently, thought about it, bowed his hand to Wu Zheng, and left.
Walking to the door, he suddenly stopped, did not look back, and said, "Jinxuan is a good boy, don't let her down." ”
Wu Zheng said: "Qian Qiaogong's uncle and nephew are also good, and their hearts are clean. ”
Qian Sule nodded, raised his legs and went out.
……。
After Qian Sule left, Ma Shiying, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped in.
"Does the lord really plan to let Ma enter the cabinet?"
Wu Zheng turned his head, looked at this "traitor" who was spurned by the world, and nodded solemnly, "These people in the court seem to be powerless, but they are extremely destructive, and the only way to deal with them is to rely on Master Ma." ”
Ma Shiying bowed and said: "I originally thought that I wanted to follow the lord, but I didn't want to be a minister in the same hall with them, but since the lord has decided, Ma will definitely live up to the lord's expectations." ”
Wu Zheng nodded slightly: "Do you know what you are going to do?" ”
Ma Shiying chuckled: "Ma can't lead the troops, but if you want to say that you are intriguing with others, you don't dare to be arrogant, rest assured, from now on, I will oppose what they are in favor of, and I will agree with what they oppose, and I will never let them have a chance to breathe." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, and for a long time, Wu Zheng let out a sharp scolding, "Fart!" ”
Ma Shiying was stunned for a while, and looked at Wu Zheng in a daze.
"It's really a dog that can't change eating." Wu Zheng pointed at Ma Shiying, constantly pacing back and forth in the room, and was almost fainted by him.
