0799 Shang Shufu shot
Princess Xingnan crossed the river from the capital, although the scene was not small, and there were many relatives in the old ones. But in today's capital, it is just a trivial matter, the people are happy for themselves, and Taiwan is worried about it.
However, no matter whether it is sorrow or happiness, the problems to be faced have reached the point where they have to be solved. And it was not until this point that the ministers realized that no matter how they had rioted and how they quarreled before, they had not even figured out the most basic question, why Shen Weizhou detained the good news.
Although there is no shortage of children in Jiangbei and Huainan, and there has been a lot of communication between family letters before, but what Shen Zhezi's intentions are, he has not yet arrived in Jiankang through any way. Previously, they knew from the exchange of letters that the situation in Huainan was very good, and Shen Weizhou and his people had a unique and irreplaceable prestige in Huainan today. But they didn't know anything about what Shen Weizhou wanted next and what he wanted to do!
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Huainan detained the good news and did not play, Shen Weizhou was to teach these Taifu not to take it for granted that they should be too arrogant, and should try to lower their posture and negotiate.
Regardless of whether there is such a reason or not, many Taiwanese assistants have realized that this is one of the few ways to solve the current predicament. Previously, they were more concerned about how to divide the huge benefits brought by the Huainan victory, and they had made many efforts, but in the end, many efforts were useless, and the so-called huge interests were still hanging in front of them, visible but not touched.
Recently, some Taiwanese ministers have tried to persuade Prime Minister Wang Cheng in private, hoping that Taichung can take a tough attitude and order Shen Weizhou to give a speech on Chen Huainan's military affairs, but Wang Dao has never made a positive response to this.
"Shen Weizhou, you can't afford it. Huainan Jiebao was stranded in the town, and he gathered a lot of resentment, how could he not know this? Now in Taiwan, the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be the consul general, but in fact, there are many orders. I am not afraid to be ahead of everyone else, and I dare to urge and be disgusted. But if the edict is out of the house, and the rut is overturned, the prestige of Taiwan Province will be gone! ”
Director Wang remained silent to the outside world, and still confided in his own children Wang Huzhi and others in private. Although he is the prime minister and the head of a hundred officials, in fact, he is not the only one who can challenge his majesty in the stage alone.
In fact, the situation has evolved to this day, and Director Wang also regrets it a little. If the news of the Huainan victory had just been transmitted back to the capital, when all parties had not yet reacted, the Prime Minister's Office ordered Shen Weizhou to report on his work, and he could also avoid the current predicament. If Shen Weizhou dares to delay, he will be completely opposed to the entire Taicheng. At that time, what we will have to face is no longer the battle of the portal, but the long-standing contradiction between the center and Fang Zhen.
But now, an alliance of interests has been quietly formed, and there are too many opportunities for convergence between them. Not to mention anything else, from the beginning to the end of Princess Danyang's crossing of the river to the north, Director Wang has been kept in the dark, which is not a kind of alarm for him?
He will not be naïve and conceited enough to think that only Huainan is the only interest that each family can fight for nowadays, in fact, he is also a high-ranking and delicious prime minister, and he can share the food.
Even if they are both Qingxu Qiaomen, or even the same clan of the Wang family, Wang Bin suddenly spoke to recommend Ye Wanggong to go north, so he has never discussed it with Wang Dao. And Zhuge Hui's mansion has also had frequent gatherings recently. It's all variables that are beyond his control.
Therefore, if Director Wang dares to directly anger Huainan in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, Shen Weizhou may have already prepared for it, and may even incite the forces of all parties in Taicheng to take him down as the Prime Minister first!
Director Wang is not nostalgic for power, in fact, he stays in the position of prime minister just in vain. It is no exaggeration to say that his current situation is somewhat similar to that of the little emperor, with only high vanity, and the emperor's position is even more stable than that of him, the prime minister.
"In this battle in Huainan, Shen Wei Zhou showed that his peers had few choices to fight for. The rebellion in the north has risen again, and my family is still ignorant, and now I am still in his place, or I can shadow my children a little. If I go to the throne, my family may not be able to get any more help. ”
When Director Wang talked about this, his expression was already lonely. As for the audience, they either felt the same way, or they were not angry. But Director Wang didn't plan to continue to talk about it further, otherwise it would just be more frustrated.
In short, Director Wang is unwilling to take a tough attitude towards Huainan here, and the rest are even more unrepresented. If you can't use force, then you can only talk calmly and see what kind of conditions Huainan wants, so that you are willing to let things return to the old track.
However, there is an understanding, but only now that they realize that there is no one to talk about! The Shen family is now in the capital, and the only important clansman is Shen Ke, but whether Shen Ke can represent Shen Zhezi with full powers, everyone is still not sure. If they are entangled with Shen Ke here, wasting time and energy, not to mention, in the end, it will be considered a negotiation, but Shen Zhezi will refuse to accept it! At that time, they will also have no choice, but will explain the bottom line to others clearly!
Do you want to send a Chinese envoy to negotiate directly with Huainan? But in this way, the dispute went back to the starting point, is Huainan willing to receive the envoy? Even if Huainan is willing to receive it, who should he send? Who can represent all the interests of all parties in the situation impartially? Moreover, even if Huainan is not far from Jiankang, it is really necessary to waste too much time on the road to negotiate, and it is completely impossible to meet the requirements of resolving the matter quickly.
As a result, the problem facing Taiwan now is that no one will take the lead with force, and no one will be able to find a target for negotiations, and it will simply become a dead knot! If it was in previous years, it could also be used to stir up the contradictions between Fang and Town. But now that Xuzhou is being pulled by Huainan, it is impossible to turn around in the short term. And the war in Jingzhou is not over yet, and even the more remote Jiaojiao and Guang are still attacking each other with Cheng and Han.
But there is no endless road, and how can the political game be a dead end. After some weighing, the Taifu still found another option, that is, to summon Shen Chong to return to the capital. Shen Chong is now sitting in Beijing, firstly, it is not the front line, secondly, it is close to Jiankang, and thirdly, even if Shen Zhezi wants to cheat, he can't even oppose the result of his Lao Tzu's negotiations.
However, if Shen Chong is summoned to return to the capital, in what name, and what kind of official position should be arranged for Shen Chong?
Previously, Shen Chong took the initiative to give up the history of the assassination of Dongyangzhou, and then Taichung appointed him as a temporary appeasement of the history of the Yangzhou assassination. Later, due to the needs of the war, Shen Chong was transferred to Beijing to sit in the town, and the general of the town army was added. If Shen Chong's official position is not adjusted, and he is transferred back to the capital like this, does he really want to deal with the military and political affairs of Yangzhou Bengi? If this is the case, what is the significance of the previous abolition of Dongyangzhou? Is it just to increase Shen Chong's power?
Therefore, Shen Chong's official position must be adjusted, at least his military power must be removed, this is a bottom line! Otherwise, both father and son are in charge of the army, one is in the center of Jinnei, and the other is in the outer town to strengthen the domain, so they can simply surrender directly to the Shen family!
However, even if it has to be adjusted, what kind of official position should be arranged for Shen Chong? It is impossible to be demoted, not to mention that at the moment, they have to take the initiative to fight for Shen Chong to return to the capital, although Shen Chong himself has no external conquest merits, he also has the labor to maintain the situation in the inner town.
When this issue was mentioned, there was no too heated dispute in Taiwan. Because now the club has realized that inviting Shen Chong to return to the capital is an opportunity to break the situation, if it really makes too much trouble and angers Shen Chong because of this, he simply doesn't come, and he will hang them here again, helpless.
Therefore, even if some people have realized that letting Shen Chonggui serve as a high position in the Taiwan Pavilion may be one of the demands of the Shen family. But at this time, no one is cleverly obstructing them, all they need to solve is how to give Shen Chong the highest possible position within the acceptable level of each family.
If there is no dispute, the efficiency of decision-making in Taiwan is still quite high, and soon, Shen Chong's new position was drawn up: with the crown prince Shaobao plus the servant, Guidu replaced Guangling Dai Miao as the right servant of Shangshu, went straight to the cabinet, and opened the palace with the three divisions. In this way, although there is no longer military power in hand, it directly becomes one of the rulers of Taicheng.
This is already the highest treatment that the southerners can get in the central court since Zhongxing, and the Lu brothers are no more than that. If you take another step, you can only Shangshu Ling or Sangong Jialu Shangshu. Even because of the honorary title of Prince Shaobao, it is half a level higher than that of Chu Yi. And because he is also a leader, he is close to a cardinal, so it can be said that he is very sincere.
And in order to show the importance of Shen Chong's return to the capital, some people even suggested that Taichang Feng Huai should carry the edict to the capital to announce the edict and invite Shen Chong to return to the capital. But this is simply a joke, Taichang is the head of Jiuqing, even if it is the real appointment of the three princes, there is no need to come forward in person to announce the edict too often. Even if Taichung has been choked by the neck now and has nothing to do, it can't be so bottomless!
So the final result of the discussion was that Guangluqing still sent the messenger to the edict, but Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, also went with the messenger. The king of the East China Sea does not have a formal order, but following his peers also shows enough sincerity in the introduction.
Taichung is so sincere, Shen Ke and other Wu people will naturally not obstruct the trouble. In fact, Shen Chong's return to the capital is indeed one of their demands, and now in the center of Taicheng, the Wu people still lack a leading figure at the highest decision-making level. Although the Lu family of Wu County also belongs to the Wu people, and there is still Lu playing in the court at the moment, after all, they can't pee with the new Wu group with the Wu Xing people of the Shen family as the main body. As for Yu Tan, he is already an old man over seventy years old.
Shen Chong is in the prime of life, and he is a relative of the emperor, not to mention that there is such an enviable son as Shen Zhezi. When they return to the capital, they will be able to integrate the power of the Wu people in the court, become a powerful political force that is not inferior to any party, and directly participate in determining the future direction of the Jiangdong court!
