Chapter 21 Brush

Your Highness, you don’t know that today we were facing up, and the tone in our hearts was so smooth!

Dou Huaizhen said with a flushed face. He couldn't wait to arrive at Princess Taiping's Mansion in Zhenguo and described the situation in detail in detail.

Although Princess Taiping had already received the news, she still listened to Dou Huaizhen again with great enthusiasm, because Dou Huaizhen imitated his expressions and movements, which was very ornamental, and Princess Taiping was also willing to have fun again.

Dou Huaizhen smiled and said: Their old brothers were so red that I almost laughed out loud at that time. I didn’t try my best to hold back my demeanor of honor and disgrace.

Xiao Zhizhong, who was standing beside him, smiled and interrupted: You said, "You are holding back, I clearly saw you write everything on your face, but didn't you see Mr. Zhang (Zhang said) always look at you?"At that time, I was really worried that you would fight.

Dou Huaizhen shook his head and said: How dare he hit me?In the afternoon, I discussed the "Three Rivers Law" in the meeting hall. Doesn't Zhang agree?Even if he felt a hundred unhappy, he could only swallow it in one breath.

Xiao Zhizhong said: We won this time, and the greatest contribution is naturally Xue Lang, Sanhe Fa... I admire him; secondly, the contribution should be considered as Lu Xianggong (Lu Xiangxian). Sanhe Fa came out of Lu Xianggong's mouth, which was resounding and justified.

Taiping listened to others' praise for Xue Chongxun, but his smile remained unchanged, but his heart was still smooth.

She didn't say anything just now. When she mentioned Xue Chongxun, she immediately spoke. Of course, her tone was not as proud as Dou Huaizhen. She just said lightly: Chongxun still needs to be trained, so don't praise him too much, so as not to be arrogant... In fact, I used to value Liu An, but I didn't expect that he could not come up with a charter for a long time. This is not as good as Chongxun.

The bureaucrats next to them were thinking about Taiping’s words, wasn’t they just praising their son?

Xiao Zhizhong said sincerely: Where did Liu An get the courage to cut off the wealth of the Taiping family?

Xue Chongxun has that courage, but he is only based on his identity. Of course he is not afraid. If Liu An had a position, even if he had understood the Three Rivers Law, wouldn’t he really have to worry about the interests above?

However, Xiao Zhizhong was much more cautious in his dealings than Dou Huaizhen. Although he thought so in his heart, he said in accordance with his peaceful mood: Xue Lang is brave and resourceful, decisive, and is absolutely comparable to others; but His Highness's trust eliminates Xue Lang's worries and is also very important.

Taiping said again: Lu Xiangxian did not refuse me to push him into the preface at the beginning, but I knew his attitude was still towards me... This person is too noble and I didn't say that I would come and have a walk on this day.

Dou Huaizhen smiled and said: Isn’t it just a name?

Xiao Zhizhong frowned and said: How can I say this?Will entering and leaving the Princess' Mansion affect your reputation?

From the first is Dou Huaizhen's word "口", which is really ironic. Not only did Dou Huaizhen not end up in one direction, but instead relied on several powerful people...

He heard Xiao Zhizhong's words, his face slammed and said a little unhappy: Do you have to argue with me?Your Highness is the younger sister of today, with a high status. A person like Lu Xiangxian is so virtuous. The more powerful you are, the more lukewarm he is. If you want me to explain this, you will understand!

Taiping smiled and said: Don’t care about Mr. Lu, he has always been that kind of person.If he doesn't value reputation so much, the effect of upward work today will not be so good, right? What do you think of Zhang Shuo?

There are now six prime ministers in the court (there were originally seven, and Liu Youqiu was exiled to Lingnan, with only six left), five of them are people who are inclined to Taiping, and the last one is Zhang Shuo, so Taiping has this question.

Xiao Zhizhong pondered: I didn’t see Zhang Shuo or his confidants coming in and out of the prince’s mansion. He might be facing the prince’s side, but it’s different from those of Liu Youqiu.

Taiping nodded and said: Zhang said that such a person has the foundation and talent, and is both literary and martial. It would be a good thing if he could win him over.

Xiao Zhizhong said: It may be difficult. He is now the prime minister. Your Highness cannot win over him like he would recommend Lu Xiang as a prime minister.This person is not greedy for money or lust, he acts well, has a strong backbone, and is very difficult...

People always have weaknesses.He said too plainly.

Dou Huaizhen was just looking down and thinking about something, but suddenly she suddenly realized: I know what Zhang Shuo values!

Tell me.Taiping asked with interest.

Power.

Dou Huaizhen said confidently, I can guarantee that he cares a lot about power!I heard that he often accepted bribes in the past, but now he can try his best to restrain himself and gain a reputation of not being greedy for money, because he values ​​power more than money; there is another thing, I said, "Your Highness will know when he hears it. Zhang said that he was the Minister of War before. Later, he was promoted to the Minister of War and the Minister of War and the subordinate of the Minister of War, and his rank was higher than that of the former Minister of War. However, he felt that he did not respect himself enough by relying on his seniority, so he tried to force him to retire.

Princess Taiping was quite happy after hearing this. Since this was the case, it would be easy. As long as he tried to put pressure on him, he would be demoted from Chang'an if he didn't surrender. If he really valued power so much, he would naturally know what to do.

Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly advised: This method may not work. Zhang said that the scheming was very deep and could bend and stretched. If he was optimistic about the prince, he would probably not submit even if he was demoted.

Princess Taiping said coldly: Of course it is good to win over. If not, try to demote him from Chang'an, so as not to gather a group of censors to cause trouble for me like this time.

……

The Zhang said that Taiping and others discussed is indeed a person who can bend and stretch.

The layout of impeachment of the slanted official was actually done by him. Zhang said that he was the highest-ranking boss among the people who were directly involved in this matter. His personal relationship with Yao Chong and others was not harmonious, but he successfully completed three steps by seizing Gongxin. Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun was defeated completely.

Failure did not make Zhang Shuo angry. Instead, he adjusted his mentality very quickly. Not only did he support Sanhe Fa in the Prime Minister's Seminar Hall, he also wrote an article to praise the innovation a few days later.

Zhang said that he was very literary and his articles were spread quickly...

In this way, Zhang said that public integrity is well known to the government and the people, which well demonstrated his principle of putting the country and the people first in everything.

Sanhe Dharma is good, and he does not belittle it just because it was proposed by his opponent.

The dispute between law and fu Zhang said that he lost, but the loss was not ugly.

Without Xue Chongxun's surprise, Zhang Shuo's rigorous layout would not have been lost; and his final praise of the Three Rivers Method was simply a brilliant stroke and a powerful force to reverse the decline.

Zhang Shuo said with great sincerity to his nephew Zhang Jishi: Respecting your opponent is the minimum cultivation; being able to bend and stretch is the minimum ability.The "Three Rivers Method" proposed by Xue Chongxun can definitely be regarded as a masterpiece. If you lose, you will lose, and it is not unfair.
