Chapter 1084: Chaotang Qingning

After coming out of the palace, Wang Gui, Cai Que, and Su You looked at each other, and they all felt that the relationship between themselves and the other two people was a bit subtle and funny.

It's obvious that three people with completely unrelated ideas, concepts, and methods, and who often undermine each other, actually seem to be harmonious and cooperative... That Infernal Affairs is really a ghost.

Wang Gui really wanted to rise to prominence, but the problem was that while Su You was in the capital, he himself continued to achieve great results. He was obviously focused on reforming the official system, but somehow his star shone brightly and his halo increased layer by layer.

Su You didn't seem to know the value of those haloes at all. He had no intention of being greedy for power and dominance. He just pushed open a door but didn't go in, letting a bunch of big guys break their heads and squeeze in.

He himself seems to be completely at ease after taking only one initiative.

Cai Que warned himself repeatedly in private that now that Su Yousheng's family is prosperous and he is low-key, it is definitely not the time to fall out.

And as long as Su You is in Beijing, we have a reason to prevent Da Su from coming back. Isn't this what you want most, my husband?

Wang Gui felt that Cai was indeed full of small thoughts, but what he said was indeed on point.

He is the nominal prime minister, but these two capable men don't seem to listen to his orders. Although he has benefited a lot from them, he really doesn't feel comfortable using them...

For example, when Cai Bian impeached his son a few months ago, he slapped his butt and went to sea after playing the piano, while he was a disgraced person who went to the door to plead guilty.

It is a great shame for the Zaizhi to go to close the door to plead guilty.

From this we can also see the weight of Zhao Xu’s ministers in his heart.

Cai Que was scolded the most often, but Cai was a shameless politician and didn't care much about it. His figure was very soft. He had been to Hemen's house several times. Scholars laughed and scolded him. Old Cai was like

The breeze is so calm as it passes over the hills.

Wang Gui is a traditional scholar with a thin skin. This is the first time that his son has dragged him to close the door to apologize, and he feels like the sky has fallen.

After apologizing, he went back to the ancestral hall and knelt down once, crying bitterly that he had shamed his ancestors and was unable to teach his children.

Su You, on the other hand, was summoned by Zhao Xu every three days. He had never been to Hemen. At most, he was fined by the palace. It was more like a joke between the emperor and his ministers.

Moreover, he still wears the title of son-in-law of a distinguished relative, and he can occasionally enter and leave the harem.

It is said that on the day he came out of Wutai, Zhao Xu led him into his bedroom for a deep talk!

No one has confirmed this rumor to be true.

But the rumor itself is already very scary. The emperor's bedroom is a deep palace!

Not to mention foreign ministers, even lower-level lieutenant envoys do not have this qualification!

If this is true, Su You's weight in the emperor's heart is not what it seems on the surface.

Why bother with such a person?!

Cai Que was also rolling his eyes.

Su You and Cai Que are actually animals with political thinking. Their styles are very compatible in some aspects, and they can fully understand each other and even... trust each other.

Su You is different from Wang Xianggong. Wang Xianggong is a literati, the same kind as Kezi and Lizi.

Su You was not the case. Su You had always played himself as a man of letters, and he played the role very well. He even became a great figure in Neo-Confucianism, with achievements in literature, history, philosophy, music, and beauty.

But Cai does know that he is still not a scholar by today's standard definition.

Su You had none of the character, elegance, and demeanor of a scholar. He was only a little funny at most.

Then there is the ability to disguise, and to come up with many things that can set off the character, elegance, and demeanor of the literati, but the purpose is just the wallets where the scholar-bureaucrats keep their treasures.

Many people think that people who can do these things must also be people with character, elegance and grace.

Cai Que couldn't help but want to sneer. These are all tools used by Su Mingrun to decorate himself. He is still an engineering dog at heart!

The words "engineering dog" have now become a slanderous slur against the students of the Royal Institute of Technology by some stubborn and conservative old Dong Heng of the Imperial College.

Engineering is a disparaging name for Neo-Confucianism, describing it as a craftsman's study; dog is actually a disrespectful term for the royal family.

But Cai Que also knows that on major issues that are beneficial to the country and harmless to Su You, Su You fully possesses the qualities a politician should have and will never oppose his opinions in order to oppose his political opponents. On the contrary, everyone will still

Cooperate and promote each other to make this important event happen.

Just like today's plan.

If it were him, the same would be true.

Of course, they must be on guard. Both he and Su You knew very well that if the other party showed any flaws, it would be natural to add insult to injury.

After all, we are not all in the same group, and the friends who are in their respective pockets also need to have positions to occupy themselves.

In fact, Cai Que preferred Su You's way of doing things. Su Mingrun called this "internal contradiction" and said, "Cooperation in struggle, struggle in cooperation, that is, gentlemen are harmonious but different."

Cai Que was very impressed and thought this was indeed a wise idea.

But in political affairs, it is useless to work together, and in official affairs, there is really no way to retreat even half a step.

But... there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Su You's eyes were also rolling.

Wang Gui's son was impeached by Cai Bian. In fact, it had nothing to do with Gengsu You. It was all the fault of that slut Cai Jing.

But the effect was actually pretty good. It was still the first day of junior high school in the fifteenth year. Wang Gui spared no effort to suppress Dasu without giving him a lesson. He really thought that Dasu had no power behind him and would have to be rounded and flattened by others at will in the future.

Cai Jing also knew that he would be happy to see the results, so he dared to operate boldly.

After all, Wang Gui is just a white glove. Zhao Xu's opinions are often conveyed through him. With his outstanding literary talent, he is actually a royal secretary.

Speaking of his ability to handle political affairs, he is actually not very good.

Speaking of the prime minister's magnanimity, there is none.

Not even a qualified politician.

However, such people often have some unreasonable stubbornness, and their destructiveness is sometimes far greater than that of ordinary people. Therefore, Su You did not regard him as someone who could cooperate with him, either emotionally or rationally.

On the contrary, Wang Gui learned a lesson and learned that Su You was not easy to mess with. After two major events in the cultural world, Wang Gui's attitude became somewhat relaxed.

But that was just picking up the bowl and eating. Due to the thin-skinned nature of literati, I was embarrassed to put down the bowl and immediately cursed my mother.

Not to mention Su You, Da Su probably didn't regard him as an opponent.

Cai Que is interesting. It can be said that this man has been greatly favored by himself, but now he shows his independence everywhere in the court, resolutely draws a clear line with Su You, and instead gets closer to Wang Gui. This is not his

not smart.

On the contrary, he is too smart.

For the sake of state affairs, we firmly maintained our position and resolutely implemented Xianggong Jiefu's reform intention. Even those places that cooperated with Suyou were clinging to the "lone minister" card because of His Majesty's instructions.

The emperor usually doubles his protection for "lone ministers", especially nowadays, when more and more people in the court have something to do with Su You, and Su You's opinions are approved and followed by more and more people.

, the figure of this "lonely minister" became more and more eye-catching.

But is Cai indeed a lone minister? His foundation is too weak, his rise is too fast, and he has too few supporters.

But Su You couldn't do anything to him.

The country has different opinions. If there is a uniform voice in the court, it will be the time when the emperor becomes uneasy.

But Su You couldn't let Cai Que stand out too much, so he kept a lower profile. The people who spoke for him were not necessarily from his own faction. This was the impression he created on Zhao Xu.

Indeed, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both spoke for Su You, but to say that these two people were from Su You's faction, Zhao Xu would probably laugh out loud.

Therefore, this boundary has been blurred, and the government has become that the first boss is serious about bureaucracy, the second boss is serious about politics, and the third boss is serious about strategy.

Who feels the most comfortable with this situation? Zhao Xu.
