Chapter 256 Who?

In the sky, the autumn tiger was unscrupulously releasing his last power before winter came. The autumn cicadas were chirping faster and faster, as if they were singing happily. Lei Ran lived in the lobby, but it was a bit too quiet.

After some praise from each other, Shi Songzhi, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian, who were sitting in the guest and host, suddenly realized that there was really no place to praise him anymore. They could only silently hold the fragrant tea in their hands and savor it quietly. In fact, no one really tasted what the best tea in their hands felt.

Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian did not speak, but Shi Songzhi also sat firmly on Diaoyutai, holding the teacup in his hand, sucking in small sips, and squinting from time to time seemed to savor the remaining tea aroma in his mouth, indescribable comfort and freedom.

Although Shi Songzhi was drinking tea on the surface, in fact, his eyes were constantly observing the expressions of Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian through the gap.

Seeing the two of them constantly communicating with their eyes, they sneered in their hearts.

When he just entered the lobby, he secretly ridiculed the two of them for being ashamed. Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian were exposed in an understatement, and he punched him in the void, but he was inferior.

How could Shi Songzhi be able to reach today and support the huge Shi family? He had already realized it with a punch in the air. He was too anxious. This was the original intention of Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian today. So at this moment, he was really not anxious. He really wanted to see what kind of deal these two old men could have reached and what they wanted to get from him.

Both Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian were deeply rooted in the court. Although they both retreated from the position of left prime minister, no one dared to underestimate them, including the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun.

But Shi Songzhi was not a mud, right? The two of them suddenly came together today, trying to create a situation from the beginning to make him anxious. If anxiety will make him confused, he has made a mistake. How could he really follow the wishes of both of them now?

So, the two of them didn't say anything, and he sat peacefully with Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian for a while.

a long time.

"cough!"

The quiet lobby was finally broken by a cough.

When Shi Songzhi heard the sound of a clean cough, his body suddenly tightened, and then slowly relaxed, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. The person who did not see the cough clearly was just from the direction of the sound of a clean cough, Shi Songzhi knew who it was.

Are the two old men finally unable to sit still?

"Ziyou, Mr. Yu has passed away for several days. If the energy is still hot today, it is time to get buried earlier."

The one who spoke was Zheng Qingzhi.

"Mr. Zheng is right, and Ziyou means that. But Mr. Zheng must also know that the emperor of Yu's funeral has not yet given a decree. Therefore, even if Ziyou is anxious, he really doesn't know what to do. Could it be... Mr. Zheng has a countermeasure? Mr. Ziyou thanked him first!"

Shi Songzhi sneered in his heart, but said with gratitude on his face.

But these two old guys didn't even go around the corner and just opened the right path? Do you think you'll have to settle your true colors today?

If Yu Tianxi was an ordinary person, he would have been buried for a long time now. But he was the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty and the left prime minister who was still in office, so his funeral would not be his own business anymore.

First of all, the court had to report to the world a serious edict on Yu Tianxi's funeral. This edict was not only to announce that Yu Tianxi was dead, but also to summarize Yu Tianxi, the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, this is the most important thing for the achievements of the Song Dynasty, the emperor, and the royal family in this life.

After all, if Zhao Yun did not agree, did not issue a mourning edict, and did not make a conclusion on Yu Tianxi's life, then even if Yu Tianxi died, he would probably die with peace of mind.

Because this means that the Song Dynasty did not recognize him at all, nor did he recognize him as the left prime minister. Not evaluating his life's merits and demerits and without a posthumous title would be the greatest humiliation of Yu Tianxi in his life.

Shi Songzhi's words just now were not all about scenes. He actually really wanted Yu Tianxi to be buried earlier. After all, everyone was dead, so naturally he could be buried earlier to be born soon, right?

Yu Tianxi, an important official in the Song Dynasty, has been dead for several days now. However, because Zhao Yun did not issue an order, he even dared to send out the funeral. He could only lie in the ice coffin. No matter who is afraid, it would be uncomfortable. Shi Songzhi was indeed very anxious and had a lot of dissatisfaction, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

Zhao Yun might be so anxious that he lost a lot of his hair at this time.

Ordinary people may not know that Yu Tianxi is dead, but how could the officials, princes and nobles in Lin'an City not receive such a big news?

Everyone was watching. The later the funeral was sent out, the more criticisms there would be in the court. Naturally, this criticism could not be against Zhao Yun, but against Yu Tianxi.

Shi Songzhi also knew that Zhao Yun was too big. Prime Minister Zuo had just taken office for two months and had not yet truly managed the government. He died in office, which made Prime Minister Zuo who Zhao Yun had finally decided to come down again.

This will be a headache choice again. After all, nowadays, the position of the Left Prime Minister is impossible to be vacant. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the position of the Left Prime Minister is best to set it down when the imperial edict Yu Tianxi was reported to the funeral. In this way, the people's hearts of the Song Dynasty can be quickly stabilized.

You know, a few days ago, due to three wars with the Mongols, the Song Dynasty was full of wind and panic everywhere, and all kinds of rumors were everywhere. There was no need to say much about panic. If there was another news that the left prime minister died in office and no new candidates were arranged, it would be unreasonable.

Shi Songzhi knew very well that the most important reason why Zhao Yun had not yet issued an imperial edict to the world to announce Yu Tianxi's funeral was that he was still hesitating for the candidate for the Left Prime Minister and had not yet decided on the candidate for the Left Prime Minister.

Of course, Zhao Yun is just one of the decisions of the left prime minister. Yu Tianxi’s position of the left prime minister is different from Qiao Xingjian’s request to resign.

This time, the fierce competition among various factions in the court was the main reason why Zhao Yun had not yet decided on the position of left prime minister.

After all, when Qiao Xingjian resigned, everything in the Song Dynasty was fine, the situation was stable, and the disasters were over, but now the border was unstable, the Mongols launched a large-scale invasion of the south, the court's principles were shaken, and the people's hearts were unstable. If we could no longer balance the various factions in the court and select candidates that all factions were willing to, the Song Dynasty would face at that time not only external troubles, but also internal troubles.

"For the sake of this plan, we can only let the emperor choose the left prime minister as soon as possible. In this way, the emperor will surely report the funeral of Mr. Yu to the world soon. In this way, Mr. Yu can also be buried in peace as soon as possible. I have an explanation, Ziyou said that is not right?"

Zheng Qingzhi still did not say the scene in circles, and directly entered the topic and opened the way straight to the point.

"Mr. Zheng said something reasonable, but the left prime minister was in power for the first time, so how could he have a joke? According to Ziyou's intention, the emperor did not have to be so anxious to select the left prime minister, and he had to conduct more investigations. Now the border troubles have already subsided, and Lord Jia rewarded his army and would return to Lin'an City soon.

What happened in Xiangyang City? Lord Jia, the witness, knew the most. As long as Lord Jia returns to the capital, he will definitely bring good news to the emperor. Therefore, I thought that the emperor could first tell the world about Mr. Yu’s funeral. In this way, Mr. Yu could also be buried as soon as possible."

Shi Songzhi did not let go, which was originally what he thought.

Although it is impossible for him, the right prime minister, now there are only three people who can take the left prime minister position. Of the three, we naturally have to choose a person who is beneficial to him and Jia Sidao to be the left prime minister, right?

Shi Songzhi is very clear about the grudge between Jia Sidao and Li Mingfu. Although Shi Songzhi doesn’t think that Li Mingfu can sit in that position, but things in the world are impermanent, who can really tell it accurately?

Yu Tianxi is dead, he is already broken. If Jia Sidao fails again, his situation will be really bad.

"The position of the magistrate cannot be vacant. Whether the Mongols are discussing real peace or false peace cannot be concluded. Not to mention that because of the wars in Sichuan, Huaidong and Xiangyang, the people in various places are already panicked, and refugees are already wandering around. If the magistrate is not selected as soon as possible, all officials will have no leader and the officials are unstable, which will be too unfavorable to our Song Dynasty, Ziyou!"

Qiao Xingjian said at this time.

"Haha, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qiao said this, is it possible that they already have a candidate in their hearts?"

Shi Songzhi glanced at Qiao Xingjian, who seemed sincere, and then looked at Zheng Qingzhi, who looked compassionate. He did not continue to get entangled in this issue, but asked directly.

The two of them talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality for the country and the people. Although he was very disdainful, he did not need to continue arguing with the two over these trivial matters. After all, in the final analysis, in addition to disputes about interests, we are still grasshoppers on the same rope, aren’t we?

If the Song Dynasty really disappeared, they would probably not be able to lose. They would either die or betrayal and betrayal forever.

"I and Mr. Qiao have indeed had a candidate, so I came together today. I hope that Ziyou can write a letter to the emperor with me and Mr. Qiao. In this way, Mr. Yu can be buried in peace as soon as possible!"

Zheng Qing’s Interface.
