Fu Song

Chapter 47 Benefits
In the past, almost everyone thought that he was a staunch anti-war faction.

Therefore, in his capacity, although he does not need to please the prince, in the eyes of the court and the opposition, this person is the natural ally of the prince.

As the head of the West Palace, to go a step further and become the head of the East Palace, this life can be called complete.

So, it's better to be quiet.

However, Xiao Ding suddenly found out that Chen Gui was not as rumored to be, but he was born to be an anti-war faction.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's not that he doesn't want to recover Youyan, defeat the Liao Kingdom, and rule the world.

He was just afraid of making an inadvertent move and ruining his bright future.

Of course, if it is a little more grand, it can be said that it is afraid of ruining the current situation of the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Ding suddenly remembered a few words his brother Xiao Cheng had told him in the letter.

In fact, none of the officials of the Emperor Song Dynasty, as well as the Zaifu of the two prefectures, did not want to take back Youyan when they were in power, defeated the Liao Kingdom, canceled the humiliating New Year coins, and even further forced the Liao Kingdom to become a subject. tribute.

This is the long-cherished wish of the officials of the emperor and Song dynasties.

This is also the ultimate dream of the imperial and Song literati class.

But these people, after all, are just giants in thought and dwarfs in action.

Once implemented into reality, countless entanglements of interests will make them discouraged, and even sing the opposite.

But Xiao Ding's attitude today made Chen Gui see another possibility.

The toughest main battle faction is not insisting that the fight must start now.Instead, it advocates that from now on, it is necessary to strengthen the national policy, make a unified plan, recuperate and gather, and then try to make a fatal blow at a certain key point.

And I'm afraid King Jing also means this.

Otherwise, why did he come back from Hebei Road.

If he really doesn't want to come back, there is a way.

For example, some incidents were created on the border, causing the relationship between the two countries to suddenly become tense, and swords were drawn. Under such circumstances, would the court dare to change a coach with a high reputation and popular support on Hebei Road?
dare not.

The second king is sober, knowing that now is not the time to immediately launch an attack on the Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Ding, as his close confidant, of course also knows the key to this.

Looking at Xiao Ding in front of him, Chen Gui even felt that Xiao Ding's remarks might be inspired by King Jing.In this way, you can show yourself an attitude and get your own support.

If this is the case, then King Jing is really much smarter than the eldest prince.

He knows what he wants.

And what about the king?
It is a bit low-end to make short promises to oneself through some middlemen, give gifts to oneself, and do what one likes.

As the Prime Minister of the two governments, do you lack these things?
And if King Jing has this attitude, then it needs to be discussed, isn't it?

Now that he is the head of the West Palace, if he starts to promote this matter now, after a few years, he will be able to obtain the honorary position of the East Palace, and that is the time to show his skills.

Once done!
Chen Gui imagined the glory of that time, and he couldn't help but get carried away.

Don't say anything about being a king or not, with your current position, if you die in the future, you can always get the title of a county king.

But if you really take back Youyan, a person who enjoys the Taimiao will definitely have his own.

This kind of glory is enough to ensure that his family and his children and grandchildren can obtain the yinze for several generations, and his name will surely occupy the most important part in the annals of Huanghuang history.Instead of being like many of his predecessors, in the writings of historians, Liao Liao numbers are nothing more than numbers.

With this idea, Chen Gui became more polite to Xiao Ding.

"Don't run around in the past few days. Maybe the official family will summon you. The official family is very interested in the two consecutive victories of the Guangrui army in Tianmen Village. I also yearn for the land and scenery, and when I can't tell, I have to ask you." Chen Gui said.

"Thank you for reminding me that Xiao Ding hasn't returned home for the past three years. When he came back this time, he wanted to spend time with his parents, wife and children, so he wouldn't wander around." Xiao Ding stood up and bowed.

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will inevitably ask you about the war between Song and Liao. You are resting these few days. You might as well think about it and write a book or something. Be prepared. Once the official asks, you will not be unprepared. ."

"Yes! Xianggong has no other orders, and Xiao Ding will leave."

Chen Gui nodded, but stood up and walked to Xiao Ding, unexpectedly wanting to send him out.

This surprised Xiao Ding.

"Where do you dare to send each other off?" Xiao Ding, who was waving his hands around, seemed to be in a hurry.

"Those who have earned face for the imperial court deserve a gift from the government!" Chen Gui smiled, but insisted on sending Xiao Ding to the door. Although he did not cross the threshold, the people who were waiting outside saw it. this scene.

Just like Xiao Ding, these people were shocked one by one, watching Xiao Ding salute Chen Gui again like a wooden and clay sculpture, and Chen Gui also waved with a smile.

These etiquettes in officialdom seem to be no different from ordinary people, but the political meaning contained in them is extremely strong.

Send or not?
to where?

There are clear rules.

Chen Gui believes that the news that he personally sent Xiao Ding out today will reach the ears of the eldest prince before it gets dark.

Then his disciple who was being attacked by the censor was in a hurry, and saw that he was about to fail, so he could hope to escape safely.

Your Majesty's manpower in the Censor's Desk is solid!
Thinking of that disciple, Chen Gui became a little angry. He finally put on the red robe. After Ding You, he worked hard to find a good position for him. He was accused by his servants of hiring prostitutes and feasting during Ding You. In the Song Dynasty, when the country was governed by filial piety, Bu Ji was poking a hornet's nest, and he couldn't even speak for him himself.

If it weren't for his close disciples over the years, this one would be more promising. Chen Gui really didn't want to wipe his ass for him.

Xiao Ding came back just in time, and he could just take advantage of this incident and deal with these filthy things of his disciples.

You don't need to shoot yourself, and you don't need to signal yourself.

clever!

Chen Gui gave himself a compliment in his heart.

After turning around and returning to the major case, he began to deal with the mountain of affairs on the case.

This matter, he turned his head and threw it behind his head. For him, it was not a big deal. When the time came, it would be enough to push the situation.If you want him to take chestnuts from the fire and sail against the current, unless the situation is critical and must be done, why take the risk?

If you want to take a risk, you have to have an adequate return.

Xiao Ding also never imagined that what he thought was a simple job debriefing would be personally met by Chen Xianggong, and he talked about it for nearly an hour.After coming out of Chen Xianggong's public house, he went to the Hebei Road Division of the Privy Council to deliver the corresponding official business. When he walked out of the gate of the Privy Council, the sky darkened.

Returning like an arrow!

He got on his horse, brought two guards, and went straight to the Xiao residence.

The flow of people on the street did not decrease because it was getting late, but instead increased.In the middle of the road, there is a wide imperial road that is empty, but Xiao Ding's two heads do not have the courage to run up to the horse.Walking on the sidewalk, but rubbing shoulders, let alone any speed, it is not bad to be able to move forward slowly.

This is still the result of passers-by seeing Xiao Ding's ferocious image, and the two guards with a sullen look on their faces, riding high-headed horses, carrying knives and bows, and automatically giving way to them.

When we arrived at the house, it was really dark.

Several large lanterns at the entrance of Xiao Mansion were lit up.

Xiao Ding dismounted, and saw his second brother Xiao Cheng standing at the side door at a glance.

"Brother, let me wait!" Xiao Cheng greeted him and said with a smile, "The eldest sister-in-law in the house will send someone to ask questions every once in a while, and the little girl next to the eldest sister-in-law will also come to probe her brain every other moment, but the delivery is over. It's just business, why do you use all this time? Could it be that a friend was dragged to drink?"

"What's the mood to drink!" Xiao Ding threw the reins of the horse into the hands of the ushered Si Shi, and said, "I was caught by Mr. Chen Xianggong to ask questions, and he talked about it for more than an hour, isn't it too late? "

Xiao Cheng's eyes flickered, looking a little surprised: "Chen Xianggong?"

Xiao Cheng nodded, but did not want to bring up this topic again. "Let's talk about it later, let's go, don't make mother wait any longer."

Xiao Han's is indeed in a hurry.

The whole afternoon, he was restless in the house.When I thought that my son was still a suave and suave brother when he left home, when he came back, he was already a standard military man, and I felt a little sad.

Especially seeing Xiao Cheng Yushu who was waiting by his side before, looked even more annoyed.

Although Xiao Cheng was raised as his own son since he was a child, he was still separated by that level.It's normal to feel uncomfortable when comparing a real son with a sent son.

The Han family in Xinyang, but a serious scholar-official family, and a big family that has been passed down through the generations, has views on the generals themselves.I don't mean to look down on it completely, but contempt is always inevitable.

In the end, Xiao Cheng was sent to the door to wait, out of sight and out of mind.

Finally, when Xiao Ding came back, Xiao Han couldn't help but burst into tears. He dragged his son and asked countless irrelevant topics. In the end, Xiao Cheng reminded Xiao Han, which made Xiao Ding. I was able to get away temporarily and went back to my Erjin East Crossing Courtyard to wash and change clothes.

Here, Xiao Han hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and then ordered the servants to go to the door and wait to see when Xiao Yu came back.

For a while, the difference between the upper and lower levels of the Hefu was left behind.

Xiao Cheng was sent to see if the guards brought back by Xiao Ding were settled, where to live, food, food, and everything.

These people are his son's personal soldiers, and they are at stake with his son's life. Xiao Han's heart is clear!These people must be wooed at all costs.
