To the spring of the seventeenth year.
Lin Yuan sat by the window sill. This year is the second year of Xu Shouhui's Taiping and the third year of Han Liner's dragon and phoenix.
Originally, this year should also be Zhang Shicheng's four years of God's blessing.
Today's Zhang Shicheng is also called Zhang Jiusi. He is a young general under Chen Bosong's account.
Chen Bosong has been guarding him.
Lin Yuan is sometimes strange. Chen Bosong doesn't seem to be someone who has a plan for people's hearts, but he seems to be able to perceive the pros and cons. He knows that once Zhang Jiu Si is more powerful and prestige than him, his position will change. Cheng was in jeopardy, and for this, he had to compare Zhang Jiushi.
General, originally refers to the person who kills the most and who can kill the most. He can't suppress Zhang Jiusi. If he suppresses it, it will appear that he has a guilty conscience.
It was so strong that Zhang Jiushi couldn't catch up.
Lin Yuan saw it and was happy to hold Chen Bosong.
Chen Baisong is his grandma. He and his mother have both received the great kindness of the Lin family. Moreover, Chen Baisong has no wife and children. His deepest bond is his mother, so Lin Yuan is not worried about his betrayal. There are also Li Congrong, Yang Zian and Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention the following teenagers.
Lin Yuan took a sip of cold tea and felt that he seemed to be getting more rational and less human.
In this world, you can't rely on "feelings". Brothers and sisters are all against each other. How many relatives in modern times have turned against each other for property, and they can still do such things with the same blood. He can't bet on this.
Therefore, Lin Yuan did not give the generals more power. They only needed to fight, not to participate in politics, nor to manage people's livelihood.
Military generals are easy to deal with here, as long as one side is not dominant, several generals can always check and balance each other.
The civilian side can't do it. Lin Yuan's most "favorite" now is Song Shizhao. Song Shizhao can suppress other civilian officials. He is born with this. Yuan thinks about him in everything and can't leave him.
Lin Yuan was also willing to support him before, but now it's different. If you support him again, Song Shizhao will really fly to the sky.
Although it didn't show anything in the big event, Song Shizhao obviously couldn't find his own position recently. Lin Yuan wanted to change Pingjiang into the second Gaoyou. Song Shizhao actually said to him: "You are a great talent, but Pingjiang is different from Gaoyou. The rules are…”
He said a bunch of things, to the effect that he thinks Lin Yuan's ideas are good, they must be good, and there is nothing wrong with Lin Yuan's ideas.
But the rule of Pingjiang is not bad. After all, it has lasted for so many years, and the people are living well, so why bother to change it? If it changes again, it will not be better than it is now, but it will add a lot of trouble.
Yuqing, Lin Yuan can understand him.
No matter how forward Song Shizhao's thoughts are, he is also a native of the ancients after all. Perhaps in his eyes, Pingjiang's rules are correct. Everything in Gaoyou was caused by Lin Yuan, but he didn't dare to persuade Lin Yuan at that time. .
But Yu Li, Lin Yuan couldn't allow him to say such a thing. This is exhortation in a good way, and a domination in a bad way. Does Song Shizhao really think that he can control the government
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Song is right, Yuan is anxious."
Since that day, Lin Yuan has never seen him again, and the atmosphere has changed very quickly. In the past, Song Mansion was full of traffic, and countless people came to visit. Lin Yuan revealed a little bit of meaning, and those people stopped going.
After all, everyone would rather offend Song Shizhao than Lin Yuan.
Then Lin Yuan picked up Song Lian and Wu Changqing again.
He is now discussing matters, and the people sitting under him are Song Lian and Wu Changqing. Song Lian is a newcomer, which means that Lin Yuan is thirsty for talents, and Wu Changqing is an old man who has been there before, which means that he will not like the new and forget the old.
Without Song Shizhao, there would be Wu Changqing, without Wu Changqing, there would still be Zhou Changqing and Li Changqing.
Song Shizhao thought that he was irreplaceable, and now he regretted it.
—
"Master, have something to eat." The servants handed Song Shizhao the bowls and chopsticks, and there were porridge and side dishes on the table. Although they were not rich, the green vegetables were crunchy and gratifying.
Song Shizhao couldn't swallow, his throat was bitter and tasteless, he could vomit even after eating meat, he could only drink some clear porridge.
No matter what the servant said, he could only put down the tableware and sit aside.
Song Shizhao regretted it. He thought that Lin Yuan had a good temper and would not be angry about this, but he forgot that Lin Yuan just didn't wear a crown. Although he was not crowned, he was already a king.
It is okay to persuade a Zhizhou and a village owner.
But as a minister, admonishing the king is inherently dangerous. The king is the master of everything, and his rules are the rules, nothing else.
From Lin Yuan's point of view, he could understand why Lin Yuan was so angry.
His exhortation was heard in Lin Yuan's ears, wasn't it: "Your rules are not as good as those of the court"
Song Shizhao slapped himself.
After being careful for so long, in a word, I am out of luck.
The ministers advised the king on the head, and the king listened to it. It was the king who was humble and generous, and could already be called a wise king.
If the king does not listen, what else can the ministers do
He misestimated his face in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is willing to give face, he is the director of Song who is flattered by everyone. Although he is not the prime minister, he also exercises the power of the prime minister.
Lin Yuan is not willing to give face, he is nothing.
"Director Song." Wu Changqing came in from outside the door and saw Song Shizhao drinking bitter wine alone, the smile on his face faded instantly, and his brows wrinkled.
Song Shizhao saw Wu Changqing, and then he remembered that the next person came to inform him before. After two sips of wine, he forgot about it.
"District Chief Wu." Song Shizhao got up, and the two greeted each other.
Wu Changqing was not polite, sitting opposite Song Shizhao, and took a wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine: "I didn't even go to warm it up, cold wine hurts my body."
Song Shizhao smiled: "Mayor Wu is now on the rise, and Song is congratulating him."
Wu Changqing waved his hand: "Why does Director Song have to fight these verbal lawsuits with me?"
"If you want to come here, you won't forget your old feelings." Wu Changqing took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "This wine is good, the mouth is sweet, it is rare to see it."
Song Shizhao: "The wine given by the adults is naturally different from other places."
Wu Changqing looked at Song Shizhao. For the first time, he realized that Song Shizhao was already so old. He had spots on his face and hands, and his energy was not as good as before.
Wu Changqing also sighed a little.
Song Shizhao was so beautiful before. Although he only manages the merchants, the lord will always discuss political affairs with him. He is also seated in the first place on the lower left of the lord. Everyone calls him in charge, and they all think he is already the prime minister. When your lord ascends the throne, Song Shizhao's door will be beyond the reach of Gao's others.
But no matter how beautiful it is, it can't match the eyes of an adult.
There is no need for adults to say anything. As long as they don’t see it, will there be fewer smart people below
People who are going to be stepped on by adults, may they not support them themselves
"What is Director Song worried about?" Wu Changqing, "Worried about being rejected by adults?"
Song Shizhao sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can only manage the business of the merchants in the future."
Wu Changqing smiled and said, "What's there to worry about, it's best not to move."
Song Shizhao shook his head: "Demotion is a good thing."
When he descended, and when he ascended, the adults taught him a lesson so that he could continue to use him.
Hanging in the same place, neither high nor low, he felt that he could live for more than ten years. Could it be that these ten years have been spent like this
"Your Excellency is a master of sage." Wu Changqing said, "Now is the time when Your Excellency is standing up, and Director Song is so smart, but he can't see through this?"
Song Shizhao sighed: "I am old, my eyes are dim, and I have no brain before speaking."
Wu Changqing held back a smile: "This time, I was told to watch the fun."
Song Shizhao raised a cup to throw him.
Wu Changqing cupped his hands and said, "Director Song, calm down, calm down, it's my fault that I'm so angry."
Song Shizhao coughed: "It's your beauty now."
Wu Changqing: "Who said no? It's the first time I know what a door is. My family has six sons. Fortunately, three of them are old. They are too busy receiving guests every day. Fortunately, I have many sons, otherwise I'd be afraid of smoking. I'm not free to come and see you."
Song Shizhao: "Someone, invite District Mayor Wu out! This person has a bad conscience!"
Wu Changqing laughed: "Director Song, don't worry, Wu Mou is standing in front of you, you still don't know what the adults mean?"
Song Shizhao: "I understand, it's just..."
He just didn't expect that Lin Yuan would let him go so easily.
And he understood a little.
What Lin Yuan planned, others just need to go according to his plan.
Lin Yuan could tolerate his courtiers picking on details, but he could not tolerate courtiers denying his plans.
It was Song Shizhao who was so embarrassed in front of Lin Yuan that he forgot his duty.
Wu Changqing said: "The supervisor is different from me. You were with the adults when they started. Money is easy to get, but friendship is hard to find. The adults still miss you."
Song Shizhao: "I understand."
It was because of this that Lin Yuan didn't move him, otherwise he would kill an old official to show his desire for change, and it would be easier to do this. .
Song Shizhao: "Your heart is soft!"
Song Shizhao said to Wu Changqing, "Mayor Wu, I'm not as good as you."
Wu Changqing made mistakes, but he quickly found his seat, willing to be the pawn of the adult, with a knife in his hand, and a pure minister.
Chunchen is the person that adults lack the most today.
Song Shizhao surrendered to Wu Changqing and said willingly for the first time: "Mayor Wu will have an unlimited future in the future. I hope Mayor Wu can keep his original intentions unchanged."
Wu Changqing also said sternly: "Take people as a mirror, and the subordinate officials and supervisors will encourage each other."
The two looked at each other and smiled, each holding a cup and drank it.
They all understood that after this night, they were still friends as enemies.
In the future, there will only be one person who will be a very high-ranking official.
