Chapter 478: Confessions
"Prime Minister, I wonder what you ordered me?"
Ye Ping said suspiciously that since he entered Jing'ansi, the superiors who had dealt with him directly were basically Jiangling, silent them. Occasionally, Emperor Xuan and Emperor intervened directly, but there were only a handful of such things. He had heard of Zhang Taixuan's name for a long time, but there were few interactions. After all, the functions of the two people were very different, so he was very puzzled why Zhang Taixuan called him.
Although he didn't know, Jiang Ling, an old man in the court who had been an official for a long time, could tell at a glance what Zhang Taixuan's purpose was.
"Prime Minister, if you guessed correctly, I'm afraid you should have something to do with Chen...Shenwu Gong?"
Jiangling did not go around the corner, but directly touched the theme and pointed out Zhang Taixuan's purpose in a simple and clear manner.
Zhang Taixuan is a famous scholar. Even if he is not as eye-catching as Chen Anzhi's palace examination article, he is also a scholarly family and a noble family. He is also the leader of civil officials in the court, with many disciples occupying the majority of the seats. A small number of powerful figures worshipped Chen Anzhi and cannot be a good place for the time being. But with his return, everything is not good.
"It's still Jiang Sicheng's eyes are like a riveting. I'm just thinking. I won't say anything else, and you don't have to tell me about Shenwu Gong. We all know that all dynasties have been peaceful and prosperous times, and it's normal for literati to emphasize literature over military affairs. But the emperor valued Chen Anzhi, which is an ominous sign and the beginning of a chaotic era. We are both important officials of the court and have to consider the people of the world."
Zhang Taixuan stared at Jiang Ling and others' eyes, "As far as I know, the emperor wants to use Chen Anzhi to do a big thing."
Jiang Ling was shocked. He had already begun to think about why Emperor Xuanhe summoned Chen Anzhi back to Lin'an. Does Zhang Taixuan know?
Thinking of this, he also lowered his face, "Does the Prime Minister know?"
"Of course I know that I heard that my disciples, the emperor summoned the Minister of Works a few days ago and wanted to build a 'Military Office' in Lin'an City. Although it is called the Military Affairs Office, I guess the actual function is not only that, but perhaps to check and balance the Jing'an Division and the Grand Master Association. You have also seen that Chen Anzhi saw that the few people he brought back were of great strength."
Zhang Taixuan wanted to speak but stopped and said deeply, "And it is said that the imperial examination for the next year will also be held here."
His words were already very clear, and what he guessed was very likely to be true.
Needless to say, Jiang Ling and others knew that Chen Anzhi would definitely have nothing good to do when he came back. They just didn't expect that Emperor Xuanhe was so quick to do so. They really cut the mess with a quick knife and everything would be as fast as possible. According to the Minister of Works, the progress of the matter would be faster. I believe that Chen Anzhi should be able to take office soon after Ye Ping left Lin'an.
"Prime Minister, I believe that as you said, Chen Anzhi's military affairs department is not just targeting us. He has a very strong position among Tianxuan Wenren. If you find us, you are just planning to join forces. Of course, I do not reject this, but I do not value it too much. If you have anything, just say it directly. Of course, I don't want to be involved in the dispute over usurpation, I hope you understand."
Jiang Ling said earnestly, as if she was reminding Zhang Taixuan, and as if she was reminding herself.
He has never been a very ambitious person, otherwise he would not have done anything for so many years.
Watching Emperor Xuanhe move around in Jing'ansi, he just turned a blind eye.
Like Shen Mo and others, he had never had any interest in imperial power. In their hearts, there was only human race.
Zhang Taixuan nodded, "Of course I am not trying to transgress, I just want to protect myself. General Ye Ping, today I learned that you are going to the border of the Western Front of the Qin Dynasty and also to solve the problem of the White Lotus Sect. "It just happened that Fang Miu, the Governor of the Northwest, is my disciple. I believe he will be able to help you to a great extent, whether in the army or in the dispatch of relevant personnel."
Ye Ping, who was not interested in their chatting, seemed to suddenly become interested.
You must know that you have traveled thousands of miles to the northwest, where you are unfamiliar with your own place, and there must be many inconveniences. In fact, the army is second-hand. After all, he did not expect to completely control the army in his hands. What he cared more about was the White Lotus Sect, after all, it was a real harm to the people. Without the cooperation of local officials, he would definitely not be able to advance this matter.
But as the saying goes, "If you have short hands and short mouths, Zhang Taixuan will definitely not be able to repay such favors in the future."
Although Ye Ping likes to take advantage of it, he does not go through his brain.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Shen Mo kept winking at him and signaled him not to agree.
"I know you have some concerns and don't want to owe this favor. But it doesn't matter. I think you are all smart people and there is no need to think too much. What I need is just support for me at critical moments, which is enough."
Zhang Taixuan looked at everyone confidently, "How about it, is this deal very cost-effective?"
Jiang Ling closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened it, looking at Zhang Taixuan deeply, "What is your so-called support?"
"When the time is right, I will write a letter to impeach Chen Anzhi and ask him to leave the Military Affairs Office and leave Lin'an City!"
Ye Ping was a little uneasy when he heard these words of firm words. I wonder what Zhang Taixuan thought about impeaching Chen Anzhi, who is now at the peak of his life. Even though Zhang Taixuan is really important to the court, it is still very difficult to take such a move. Not to mention whether the goal can be achieved, it is not something that anyone can bear to offend Emperor Xuanhe alone.
He really wanted to remind Zhang Taixuan, is it too risky to do this?
Jiangling is worthy of being the number one figure in Jing'ansi. After thinking a little, he quickly understood the reason.
It was not vague at the moment. He turned around and said to Ye Ping, "Since the Prime Minister has such preferential treatment, we have no reason to refuse. There are many things to deal with in the northwest at present, and you will definitely not be able to work by yourself. In addition, if you have to go to Ziwei Taoist Academy to participate in the trial in a while, no one will mediate for you, which may only increase the trouble and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Jiangling..." Shen Mo was about to remind him, but the former waved his hand and signaled him not to speak.
Ye Ping also realized the reason and bowed his hand, "Then I'll have to do the Prime Minister."
