Chapter 910: Sima Guang makes a move
According to Han Qi's meaning, you Cui Wenqing is still young, you are still a shallow official, and you don't know how to make money, what is your suggestion not nonsense?
This argument alone made many ministers who opposed "Suggestions" nod their heads, and they all felt that Han Xiang was worthy of his old and spicy eyes, and his words were to the point.
If ordinary people were faced with such a question, they might have been speechless.
However, will Cui Wenqing be an ordinary person? He has been in the second class since he was a child!
So, he raised his hand and arched, and there was a little confidence in his faint smile that seemed to be not taken for granted at all: "Lao Tzu Taoism is natural, knows all things, and wrote the Tao Te Ching out of Guanxi into the quicksand, and is listed as the ancestor of Taoism, but Lao Tzu has he been a Taoist priest for a day?" Apparently not! Sun Tzu is a great sage of the Art of War, knows how to fight, and his book "The Art of War" is famous all over the world, but before he wrote the book, Sun Tzu was a hermit, did he command the army before? Apparently not! Han Feizi's legalist celebrity, the power to change everyone, the book "Han Zi" expounds the rule of law, its calligraphy, art, and power are combined, even if it is a thousand years later, it is also a must-read book for the monarch, but Han Fei He has been an official for a day, does he understand the important tasks of power? Apparently even more! ”
After that, Cui Wenqing waved his hand in a chic manner, and said to Han Qizheng: "There are many, many people like this, Xianggong is a famous man in the court, highly respected and famous all over the world, so how can he completely deny the advice based on the age gap, official experience, and no contact?" Please also think about it carefully. ”
At the end of these words, the entire hall was as quiet as an empty mountain and valley, and only the rapid gasps of the ministers were heard.
Chen Hong, who was sitting on the throne, was even more red, and the palm of the hand that was clenching the armrest of the throne was even more green and faintly white, obviously very excited in his heart.
Wonderful! This statement is just too wonderful!
When faced with Han Qi's questioning, Cui Wenqing did not directly open up, but told the deeds of Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Han Feizi.
According to Cui Wenqing's logic, Lao Tzu is the only idle official and realizes the Tao and knows the law, and makes the Taoist representative "Tao Te Ching"; Sun Tzu is the only hermit and knows how to fight well, and makes the representative of the soldier "Sun Tzu's Art of War"; Han Feizi is the only bachelor who knows power and knows how to strategize, and makes the representative of the Legalist "Han Feizi", can't he Cui Wenqing make suggestions on the way of wealth?
Han Qi obviously didn't expect Cui Wenqing to have such a good eloquence, he was a little speechless for a while, and his heart was full of annoyance and anger, and he gritted his teeth with an old face and said angrily: "Cui Wenqing, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Han Feizi are all ancient sages, how can you be virtuous, and you actually want to be on a par with a saint?!" ”
Cui Wenqing replied unhurriedly: "Back to Han Xiang's words, saints are also people, but their moral character is much higher than ordinary people, and they seem to be talented, and there are not many advantages in the next, but for the way of wealth, it can barely be regarded as talented, I dare not say that I am unique in the world, but it can also be regarded as the best in the contemporary era." ”
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the ministers were in an uproar, obviously surprised by Cui Wenqing's words.
This Cui Wenqing, do you want to be shameless? Do you know the way to be humble? How can he say that his way of managing wealth is the best in the modern era?
Is there such a shameless person who praises himself?
Chen Hong, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, he raised his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet for the time being, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Regarding Cui Qing's words, I will say a few words, first, the idea of the banking industry came from Cui Qing, the first bank established from ancient times to the present day was also from Cui Qing's hand, and the national bonds and military bonds were also issued according to Cui Qing's intentions; Second, the welfare lottery that has now made the imperial court a lot of money is also imagined by Cui Qing, which has increased a lot of income for the imperial court over the years; Third, the animal husbandry planting, cotton planting, and the issuance of silver bills that are currently in full swing in the four northern states are all from Cui Qing's thoughts, and judging from the current situation, they have already benefited the people. So I think Cui Qing's views on the way of money and goods are still very good. ”
The calm and clear voice fell, and the ministers were silent, and many people had already nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, the old minister has a word!"
The words fell, but I saw another person walking out of the court, it was Sima Guang, the Zhongshu Ling.
Seeing this, he immediately attracted a surprised gaze, and all the ministers were a little stunned.
Today's court meeting is really a bit strange, and the way of deliberation is also very different from the past.
In the past, when the court discussed matters that were difficult to decide, those humble officials were the first to speak, and the prime minister, who was a prominent minister, was generally the last to speak, which was also the practice of the court meeting.
Just like chess, at the beginning, the chariots, horses, and artillery men are equal to the first, who starts to play the old handsome as soon as they come?
But today, the situation has changed, Han Qi jumped out at the beginning of the court meeting, but he didn't expect the second one, even Sima Guang, the second person in the courtier, to go into battle in person.
Sima Guang's expression was as cold and serious as ever, and his tone was gentle but firm: "The official family, as the saying goes, is born in the state and county, and the fierce general starts from the army, from ancient times to the present, he is old to seek the country, if he does not go through the ups and downs of the sea and the concept of officialdom, how can he have the ability to govern the country, Cui Wenqing is indeed very methodical, and he does have good suggestions on financial endowment, but if he feels that he has the ability to manage financial income and expenditure, the old minister feels that he has to discuss." ”
Sima Guang's words were also reasonable, and many people nodded again and again.
It is true that it is one thing for some people to be able to speak the word, but it is another thing to be serious about doing things.
A very good way does not mean that you are very capable of doing things, this is Sima Guang's argument.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Cui Wenqing, and he secretly sighed that this person was questioned by the two prime ministers one after another, which was really unlucky, but more importantly, how he was going to answer.
Facing Sima Guang, Cui Wenqing's feelings were mixed.
Because in his previous life, Sima Guang existed as a historical minister, and the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder has made this famous minister pass down through the ages.
Moreover, Sima Guang is upright, talented, and righteous in government, which is enough to be admired by many people.
So from Cui Wenqing's heart, he is naturally full of affection for Sima Guang.
However, now, because of political disagreements, he has to have a bad relationship with Sima Guang, which is really a pity.
And what makes Cui Wenqing even more regretful is that Sima Guang is Sima Wei's father, and since then, the relationship between the two has become even more powerful.
Don't think about it too much, Cui Wenqing calmed down and replied calmly: "Sima Xianggong, Weichen has an insight, please listen to it." ”
Compared with his attitude towards Han Qi, Cui Wenqing is obviously much more polite to Sima Guang, no way, who let Han Qi you don't have a beautiful daughter.
