67 Chapter 67
Wei Yunqing's words were loud, Yang Yi's fists on his side clenched suddenly, and he admitted that he deliberately gave a woman to Yan Rusong because of the anger of the cold war with Wei Yunqing in the past few days, and because he wanted to use it to destroy the relationship between the two.
He thought that when he first met Wei Yunqing, he had heard her say that the fairy world is a lifetime and a couple, and if Yan Rusong already has a concubine in the house, she must have a quarrel with Yan Rusong...... He even thought about giving Yan Rusong a marriage immediately, so that his Yunqing sister would be even more unlikely to be with Yan Rusong.
But he still underestimated his weakness and timidity in the face of Wei Yunqing. When she threatened to warn him with such decisive words, he retreated. Now that Sister Yunqing is still willing to stay here, and even is ready to meddle in the affairs of the cabinet, he doesn't mind, he can't wait for her to linger in the affairs of the palace and no longer want to leave. It's that he thinks about it, as long as he doesn't let Sister Yunqing see Yan Rusong again, as long as she stays here, sooner or later she will ......
"I'm done with what I'm going to say, you can do it yourself." Wei Yunqing didn't want to tell Yang Yi more, so he turned around and left.
"Sister Yunqing!" Yang Yi was reluctant to let her leave, and immediately shouted eagerly and chased a few steps.
Wei Yunqing left the palace without looking back, and his footsteps did not stop at any point because of his shouting.
Yang Yi chased to the door of the palace, and when he saw Wei Yunqing walking decisively and without hesitation, he felt like he was holding a ball of anger in his heart, and he returned to the room angrily, crackling and smashing a lot of porcelain.
A day later, Lantian heard the news that the two palace maids who were originally given to Yan Rusong returned to the Qianqing Palace intact.
Hearing this, Wei Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She understood that her goal of running to Yang Yi to make a scene had been achieved, at least he understood her attitude and her determination, and would not easily stumble her behind her back.
And Wen Huai's side also came with news.
In order to give Wen Huai time to act, Wei Yunqing did not go to the cabinet today, but he did not forget to send someone over to pay attention to the cabinet. Soon Wen Huai came with the news - although several adults did not explicitly agree to Wei Yunqing and Cao Jun to enter the cabinet, they did not go up to impeach the matter, which shows that they have acquiesced.
So another day passed, Wei Yunqing came to the cabinet in high spirits in advance, hung up the curtain and played with the curtain to listen to the government.
The ministers represented by Mao Yirong arrived one after another, and only lightly saluted Wei Yunqing behind the curtain, and the rest of the attention was focused on Cao Jun, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
According to what Wen Huai conveyed to them, Cao Jun somehow hooked up with Wei Yunqing and used her as a cover to justifiably meddle in the affairs of the cabinet to confront Zheng Xiang. Several ministers are naturally full of disdain for eunuchs, but Zheng Xiang is powerful, and the emperor trusts Zheng Xiang, if there is no strong force to intervene, I am afraid that these ministers will become puppets in name only in the near future. And Wei Yunqing's deeds in the harem, they naturally heard about it, and they were surprised that Cao Jun could catch such a concubine who was in the limelight, and a little mocking respect, Cao Jun walked just right, with the imperial concubine in front of him as a shield, he could naturally fight against Zheng Xiang, and they, the ministers, just sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.
Therefore, the ministers naturally despised the intervention of Cao Jun, a eunuch, but as a person who fought on the front line with Zheng Xiang, he had a bit of a rescue flavor in their eyes, so their emotions were naturally quite complicated.
After all, it was the first time to discuss matters in front of harem concubines and eunuchs, and several ministers were a little restrained at first, but soon let go—because they quarreled with themselves.
On the issue of eunuchs, several ministers are unanimous to the outside world, but they are not monolithic internally, each has its own administrative philosophy, usually no one can persuade anyone, there was Sun Chengji, a famous and prestigious old minister of the Three Dynasties, they couldn't make anything, but now Mao Yirong, the second assistant, can not convince the public, and after disagreements on many issues, he has not been able to come up with a unified result.
The incident of the quarrel between the five people this time was about the peace talks between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liang.
Before the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty because of the problem of civil strife, the Great Liang naturally couldn't ask for it, and there was a resolute main battle faction in the cabinet at that time, but Sun Chengji knew very well that with the current national strength of the Great Liang, it was very dangerous to continue to fight, so he accepted the peace of the Great Song Dynasty against the public opinion, and also sent envoys to negotiate with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty.
The negotiation between the two countries is a process of pulling each other's skins, you want this land, I don't give it, how much money I want, you don't agree, so it is a rather long tug-of-war, and Sun Chengji did not have time to see the final negotiation results, he died unjustly in prison.
Now what several ministers are arguing about is the issue that the Great Song Dynasty is obviously perfunctory in the negotiations. Wen Huai, as a loyal supporter of Sun Chengji, naturally advocated continuing the peace talks at this time, but Mao Yirong believed that the Great Song Dynasty was delaying time, and after the domestic situation in the Great Song Dynasty stabilized, he would send troops to Daliang again. Wen Huai also has reasons for opposing it - what will Liang take to send troops? If there are no soldiers and no food, sending troops is to send them to death.
Among the cabinet ministers, there is one who supports Mao Yirong, named Jin Yan, who is currently the secretary of the household department and a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and the two are the main battle faction. There is one who supports Wen Huai, named Li Shan, who is currently the secretary of the military department and a scholar of the Huagai Palace, and the two are the main and faction. There is also a person named Jiang Huaigu, the prince of the country who is a priest and a bachelor of Hanlin, who is a neutral faction, and no one asks him for his opinion.
Wei Yunqing listened silently behind the curtain to the quarrel of several extremely powerful ministers like children, while listening to Cao Jun whispering to her to point out the identities of these ministers. Hearing the introduction of the golden lady, she suddenly remembered that she had heard of this person.
When she was still outside the palace, she heard that the daughter of the household secretary wanted to marry Yan Rusong, and she thought he was a scheming boy at the time.
Because of her natural dislike for Jin Yan, coupled with the fact that Wen Huai is the main peace faction, Lord Sun is also the main peace faction, and Wei Yunqing herself hates war, so on this issue, she is personally inclined to the main peace.
But she thought she didn't understand military affairs, and she said at the beginning that she was here to listen, of course she wouldn't interject or say anything, but judged the reliability of these people from the process of quarreling with them - this was the real purpose of her insistence on entering the cabinet, and she didn't even reveal Cao Jun.
The first is the second assistant Mao Yirong. According to Cao Jun, Mao Yirong is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has been an official of the Ministry of Rites for decades before, and he attaches great importance to etiquette and is also the most restrained one when quarreling with the rest of the ministers.
On the other hand, Wen Huai is a person who is familiar with poetry and books, and he is also an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he is under Mao Yirong as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but he does not lose to Mao Yirong in the ability to quote ancient sayings.
Mao Yirong is a bit like a rigid teaching director, while Wen Huai is a tenacious Wenqing, and the two of them are half a pound and eight taels, but because Wen Huai is on his side, Wei Yunqing naturally thinks he is very good.
In Wei Yunqing's eyes, Master Jin Yanjin was the embodiment of treachery, but after looking at it for a while, she could only be disappointed to find that this Lord Jin was really not as unbearable as she deliberately imagined. Jin Yan is the main battle faction, and his temper seems to be a little impatient, and he feels a little like he wants to roll up his sleeves and fight with Wen Huai, but at least on the surface, his main battle reason is very legitimate and sufficient. However, another lord and faction, Li Shanli, the secretary of the military department, made the other party dumb with one sentence: Can you get the money to fight?
Li Shan, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, knows very well what the situation of Daliang's army is now, except for the veterans who were stationed in Jinyang under Yan Rusong to fight against the Great Song army, the quality of the soldiers that Daliang can pull out is not good, I am afraid that I will be frightened before I see the enemy on the battlefield. Therefore, he should be the best at arranging troops, but he is a resolute Lord-peace faction, and he really knows too well that this battle cannot be fought.
However, in Wei Yunqing's eyes, the performance of this military department secretary seemed a little timid - in Wei Yunqing's evaluation system, she would not give him more points just because Li Shan had the same position as her.
Finally, there is the neutral Jiang Huaigu. Guozijian is roughly equivalent to the modern Ministry of Education and Tsinghua Peking University, and is responsible for national education management and cultivating elite talents. The principal was quite old and comparable to Sun Chengji, so when several people asked him for his opinion, his usual answer was, "What do you say?" The old man's ears are not good and he can't hear clearly. Yes? What? You said the winter solstice is coming, it's time to prepare the dumplings? Yes, the old man also said this to Neiko, but unfortunately the old man is a lot older, this rice ball can't be chewed, and he can't be restrained after eating it for many days, and he has been blessed for several years......"
Wei Yunqing felt that this principal was too tactful, although he could live longer in the officialdom, it might not be of much use to Da Liang, after all, he was really old, and it was estimated that he would really be able to do it in a few years.
Wei Yunqing looked around and was disappointed to find that none of these five people were as good as Sun Chengji and Master Sun, and they couldn't be the first assistant. She has been in contact with Lord Sun many times, and she is the object of his deathbed care, the image of Lord Sun in her heart has long been insurmountable, and each of the five people in front of her is objectively or subjectively speaking, none of them can compare to Lord Sun.
But how can a character like Lord Sun be found casually? As long as the cabinet is passable, no matter how you say it, it is more reliable than Yang Yi.
Wei Yunqing's ears were filled with the quarrels of several adults, and he was already thinking about asking Cao Jun to investigate their backgrounds. If there is a big problem, she will have to find a way to get the other party out of the cabinet, if it is just a small problem, just turn a blind eye - for example, the problem of corruption, everyone knows that corruption is wrong, but human nature is greedy, these people are in a high position, how can they not be moved at all?
Just like herself, in fact, she is also greedy, but she is not greedy for money and status, but for a free life as in modern times. Just like she reuses Cao Jun, it's not that she doesn't know that Cao Jun is greedy for money, but he can use it in other ways, and it's not too much to collect money, so she also turns a blind eye. She is not a judge of this era, she is not a warrior of justice, and she will not even think of turning things around with the power of modern society.
After arguing for a long time without a result, Mao Yirong suddenly turned to the curtain and said loudly: "Please also ask Niangniang to tell the emperor on your behalf, is this and the Great Song Dynasty, is it a war or a peace!" ”
Behind the curtain, Wei Yunqing spoke for the first time today, and said leisurely: "Lord Mao, please rest assured, this palace will transfer the truth of your two parties to the emperor today, and the emperor will decide." ”
"Niangniang, can you remember all the truths of how many of us are today?" Mao Yirong's tone was stiff, "If there is a mistake or omission, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, Weichen will draw up an excerpt later, and ask Niangniang to transfer it to the emperor on his behalf." ”
Wei Yunqing tugged at the corners of his mouth behind the curtain, he looked down on her, and felt that she couldn't even remember their arguments just now! …… Well, she has no problem with the arguments, she really can't remember the arguments, Mao Yirong and Wen Huai have been talking crookedly for a long time! I don't understand at all!
"Oh...... Then I'm going to bother Lord Mao. Wei Yunqing said softly, "But for the truth that Master Wen said, Master Mao should not make mistakes." Oh, and also, the fact that the household has no money has to be capitalized. 166 Reading Network
