As soon as the Dengzhou assembly was over, Xu Ping hurried back with Yang Xu, Wang Yaochen and others, but Li Di and Chen Yaozuo, who went late, stayed there for two more days, accompanied by Zhao He and Jia Changling. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Nanyang Ancient County, there are many scenic spots, and it is the place where Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and there are many places to visit.

Fang Kai, who was sitting in the south of Jingxi Road, took the opportunity to take his subordinate officials to Xixia County, which is not far away, to see the newly opened copper mines there. Xu Ping was busy with affairs, so he just asked Fang Kai to organize how much copper to be transported to Luoyang Fu Financial Supervisor every year, and the miscellaneous matters were not taken care of.

On April 20, it was nearly evening, Xu Ping and his entourage returned to Luoyang City, did not go to Yamen, and went home directly.

After paying homage to his parents and reporting safety, Xu Ping hurried to the backyard garden to see Lin Suniang sitting there. As the days went by, Lin Suniang's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was going to be on the plate in two or three months, and she was inconvenient to move, and after nearly half a month, Xu Ping's heart couldn't rest assured.

This is the most beautiful season of the year, just summer, the weather is not hot, but the cold has gone. The back garden is full of flowers, fragrant grass, and birds chirping from nowhere.

Under the golden light in the sky, Lin Suniang sat on a bamboo chair and watched the sun in the western sky.

Not far away, Panpan was playing with her sister, and there was no match, and she was a little impatient. This sister used to be hugged by her side every day, almost brought up by her, and now she will also leave and talk, but Panpan doesn't like to take her to play anymore. Panpan is innocent and lively, and she is active by nature, but she didn't expect her sister An An to show her true nature now, which is diametrically opposed to her. An An is quiet by nature, shy when she sees people, and she doesn't dare to talk to people, so she will only stick to her sister every day.

Nine-year-old Pan Pan likes to play when he likes to play, where can he stand being followed by a stuffy oil bottle every day, except for pulling the corners of his clothes, he won't do anything. I can't play a lot of things I want to play, so how can I not be depressed.

Xu Ping's figure appeared, Pan Pan cheered, came over to take Xu Ping's hand, raised his little face and asked, "Why does Daddy leave for a few days?" Did you bring anything interesting for me to go to such a far place? ”

Grabbed Panpan, looked at An Anmai behind him and pouted and followed, Xu Ping took out two small jade carvings, and said to Panpan: "Panpan, you are a sister, remember to watch your sister at all times, why did you run over alone!" ”

Panpan twisted her nose, said "um", and turned around to grab her sister.

Jade carving a little dragon, is Pan Pan's genus, a puppy, is An An's genus, Xu Ping divided it to them, let Pan Pan take her sister to play by herself, and she has to talk to her mother.

"It's not fun!" Panpan took the little jade dragon, pouted, and pulled her sister to the side to count the butterflies.

Xu Ping sat down opposite Lin Suniang, took a bag of black plums and handed it to her: "There are no good things in Dengzhou, but it is close to Jinghu Lake, and the plums sold look more exquisite than ours here." ”

Lin Suniang put the black plum aside and said with a smile: "I'm at this time, what kind of plum do I still eat." This trip to Dengzhou, everything is going well, right? This time, your movement is so big, the people in Luoyang City are talking about it. ”

Xu Pingqi said: "What are they talking about? This time it has nothing to do with the people. ”

"Luoyang is Xijing in the end, how can it also be a royal city, how can the people of Wangcheng not care about the affairs of the government? If this kind of thing is placed in Kaifeng, it will definitely be all over the city, and the people of Luoyang are not concerned about it. ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head, the people at the foot of the royal city really have a hobby of discussing the government.

Lin Suniang said again: "You have left these days, but something really happened to the imperial court. Today, a few sisters from the official family came to talk to me, and even the women's family was talking about it. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "With all the prime ministers here, what big deal can it be?" I can change them all—"

Lin Suniang looked down at Xu Ping, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Da Lang, as the saying goes, what you say is the voice of your heart, are you really looking forward to changing the ministers in your heart?" At your current age, you can't be the prime minister, so it's not good to think like this. ”

"What nonsense! You say that something big happened in the court, could there be something bigger than this? ”

Lin Suniang sighed: "You are right this time, although the prime ministers have not all been replaced, they are almost the same." ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "Is there really a Zai Zhi who has been replaced?" Who have changed? East or West? ”

"My woman's family, where can I tell those clearly! I only know that overnight, the two prime ministers and the two consuls were all dismissed, and there was only one minister left in the political hall. Isn't that a big deal, you say? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and after a long while, he said, "What you said is true?" It's not a rumor from your woman's house chewing your tongue indiscriminately—"

Lin Suniang took a sip: "What nonsense! This kind of major event will come to Luoyang in a day or two, how many eunuchs are there in this city? How could such a thing be spread badly! ”

Xu Ping lowered his head and thought for a while, calmed down, and then said to Lin Suniang: "What the hell is going on, tell me what you heard!" It's not a trivial matter, I'm afraid it has something to do with my future, the more detailed it is, the better! ”

It was because it was related to Xu Ping's future that Lin Suniang was concerned about this news, otherwise she was not a long-tongued woman who usually did nothing at home, so she asked what she was doing.

After telling Xu Ping the news he heard, Lin Suniang sighed: "Lu Xianggong is not bad to say, but he is too powerful, if he can tolerate people a little in his heart, where will he be today?" Fortunately, I can advance and retreat, there is no entanglement, and I walk fairly neatly. Otherwise, you will definitely be gossiped about. What a good person Wang Xianggong is, he is kind to everyone. ”

Xu Ping was confused: "Why do you say that?" Where did you hear about it? ”

"What kind of news do you want, isn't it obvious? I have seen Wang Xianggong when he was in the capital before, a very kind and kind person, and it is said that no one has ever seen him blush. Such a person was so squeezed by Lu Xianggong that he couldn't do it in the political hall, it can be seen that Lu Xianggong is too alone, otherwise where would this be? ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "Don't talk about it, where is the state affairs like you women think." By the way, what do you mean when you say that Lu Xianggong simply didn't entangle? Who did you listen to? ”

Lin Suniang said impatiently: "Who are you going to listen to?" Isn't it obvious? As far as the mouths of the people in the capital are concerned, what happened in the political hall, and who said what the next day the whole city knew clearly. If it weren't for Lu Xianggong's simplicity, where would the four Xianggong be together like this all of a sudden. Wang Xianggong spoke, didn't he just continue? Is there anyone else who drives him away? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "A woman's opinion!" I thought you had heard some terrible news, and you dared to figure out the thoughts of the court! ”

"Oops, what did I say that doesn't make sense? You have been an official for a few days, and you have learned to look down on women! ”

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you to let you know yourself." Even if you hear this news in the future, don't try to analyze political affairs, that is, me, you will be laughed at if you tell others. - Joke with me! ”

Seeing that Lin Suniang's eyes couldn't help but widen, obviously unconvinced, Xu Ping said: "Let me tell you, among the people in the world who don't want Wang Xianggong to leave the political hall, there is at least one Lu Xianggong. The two prime ministers of the political hall must check and balance each other, and it is not possible to be intimate, so it is very common for Lu Xianggong and Wang Xianggong to have different political opinions, and it has nothing to do with the size of their hearts. ”

"When you say this, the two of you have to be speechless? Can't you be harmonious? ”

"Harmony, then just forget it, why do you need two people? I don't have to have two prime ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, and after the founding of the country for decades, is there still less one who is alone? The emperor has not been in power for many years, whether it is Lu Xianggong or Wang Xianggong, they are all old courtiers left by the first emperor, the emperor is not sure in his heart, how can he let a person preside over the state affairs? ”

Lin Suniang is a smart person, but since she married Xu Ping, she has been at home with her husband and children, and she doesn't care about outside things. When Xu Ping said this, she understood that the situation of the two prime ministers competing was intentionally created. Don't talk about others, didn't Zhang Shixun cooperate closely with Lu Yijian when he was the prime minister? Why did you replace him with Wang Zeng?

The emperor is young, and the Manchu Dynasty is an old minister, and it is abnormal not to take measures to check and balance. After waiting for one or two decades, Zhao Zhen has his own team, of course he can not do this, not to mention that the prime ministers cooperate with each other, even if they are alone, it doesn't matter, but now it can't be.

The reason is understood, but Lin Suniang is still unconvinced: "Even if the court has to have two prime ministers, Lu Xianggong doesn't necessarily have to leave!" Wang Xianggong wants to leave, the big deal is to change someone who is similar to him, can't Lu Xianggong stay in the court! ”

"Lai in the court? Why is he stuck in the court? Xu Ping shook his head again and again. can balance Lu Xianggong, how many people can there be in the world? Li Xianggong of Mengzhou was squeezed out by Lu Xianggong, which means that he can't be helped. Privy Counsellor Zhang Xianggong clearly has a shallow relationship with Lu Xianggong, not to mention that they are still relatives. Can you still name people? Su Niang, the ministers in the court have thought carefully about things! As soon as Wang Xianggong said that he was willing to go by himself, Lu Xianggong knew that his phase could not be kept, and it was impossible to keep it no matter what! Even if he didn't leave at that time, the emperor would drive him out in a few days! Instead of having an ugly face at that time, it is better to simply not let people underestimate him. Can you rely on it, do you think he won't rely on it? Woman's view! ”

The government has reached this point, and the only one who can restrain Lu Yijian is actually Wang Zeng, once Wang Zeng makes up his mind not to be the prime minister of the same dynasty as Lu Yijian, Lu Yijian's prime minister will not be able to continue. It is precisely because of this that Lü Yijian would rather accommodate Wang Zeng's opinions in many matters, as long as it does not damage his interests. The same is true of the New Deal, and the most important reason for Lu Yijian's change of attitude is Wang Zeng. wanted to cover the sky with one hand, but Lu Yijian's slap was not that big.

In fact, after listening to Lin Suniang's general situation in the political hall that day, Xu Ping basically guessed the cause and effect. It seems that the two prime ministers have obtained their own compilation of "Rich Country and Security Policy", but there are differences in how to use it. In the end, Wang Zeng found that he could not bear the measures taken by Lu Yi briefly, and simply left together. He can't stop Lu Yijian's governance, and he can still pull him down. In fact, as soon as Wang Zeng's meaning was clear, Lu Yijian knew that the overall situation had been decided and could not be reversed. The response in the back is purely for others to see, especially for Zhao Zhen, at least to keep his qualifications to recommend future generations.

Of course, Zhao Zhen is like a mirror about this, so he will dismiss the four of them together, empty the door of Zhongshu, and wait for the newcomer to take office.

Lin Suniang looked at Xu Ping and said, "Da Lang, what's going on with your eyes in the past few months?" So who do you say will be the prime minister? ”

Xu Ping sighed: "For the sake of my parents, for you, for my children, I can't help but have more eyes!" It is impossible to say who will be the prime minister, but nine times out of ten, Lu Xianggong and Wang Xianggong will each recommend one person. ”

Due to the fact that Zhenzong did not open a department for a long time in his later years, there was a fault line in the talents of Jinshi, and now he is old and young, and I am afraid that Zhao Zhen himself has no bottom in his heart about how to use people. The safest way is to let the two former prime ministers recommend it. The former prime minister was not in harmony, and the people they recommended still maintained a situation of mutual checks and balances. I'm afraid that other ministers will do the same. Only in the key positions of the middle and lower levels will Zhao Zhen begin to promote the talents he values and slowly cultivate observation.

The emperor's position is not so easy to sit on, especially since the Zhenzong Dynasty, the emperors of the Imperial City Division have been severely suppressed by the foreign dynasty, and Zhao Zhen has limited understanding of the outside intelligence. Taizu Taizong Dynasty, what the minister ate at night The emperor knew the next day, how could it be done now? Feng Zheng was quite extravagant at home, and when he was seriously ill during the Tiansheng years, Empress Dowager Liu sent an attendant to the door to ask about the disease, and he made the house shabby, covered with a broken quilt, and moved Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Zhen to tears. In this case, Zhao Zhen must keep the personnel in the court check and balance each other, who does he dare to put power to?

It's not that Xu Ping has grown in the past few months, it's that Fan Zhongyan's demotion has really stimulated him, and he always keeps his heart guarded. In the DPRK and China, officials are like thin ice, and they dare not say that they are cautious and do not dare to make mistakes, but it is always right to recognize the situation and remain vigilant.

Xu Ping said so much, Lin Suniang knew in her heart that her husband was no longer the teenager who ran horses and dogs back then, and the days of officialdom were not in vain, and it would be meaningless for her to make suggestions like before. The news that should be listened to in the future is naturally listened to, but the analysis of the benefits and losses is still avoided, it is nothing to be laughed at by the husband, and it is not good to be laughed at by outsiders.

Seeing Xu Ping sitting there thinking about his thoughts, the setting sun sprinkled on his body, Lin Suniang's face couldn't help but smile. After all, this family is supported by her husband, and when Xu Ping grows up, she can feel at ease. What kind of high-ranking official, since having a child, Lin Suniang's attraction is not so great, and it is best for the family to be safe and sound.
