Chapter 27 The Dust Settles
Zhao Dun suddenly laughed.
"What the king said is very true. The Great Jin is the Jin State of Ji's surname. The old minister has never dared to forget this."
This Shangqing of Jin State smiled like a vicious wolf who could choose someone at any time.
Wei Xiang held the hilt of the sword and used a little force. He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Shuo who was right in front of him, and found that although Zhao Shuo seemed calm, his sleeves under the table were also trembling slightly.
Wei Xiang looked up again and found that the two brothers Lin's father and Zhishou in the Bank of China were almost losing their composure on the spot.
Only one of the people present was still extremely calm. This person was the only Jin Hou Ji black-butt who was qualified to sit in the place where Zhao Dun was promoted.
The Marquis of Jin still smiled so humbly and said, "I am actually just making a suggestion. If Zhao Meng thinks it is OK, then pass it. No, and continue to discuss it. If Zhao Meng has any proposal, of course, he can also propose it to discuss it with me."
Zhao Dun smiled and said, "I'm not hiding the truth about you. The old minister does have some immature ideas and want to ask you to make a decision."
The Marquis of Jin said: "Please speak Zhao Meng."
Zhao Dun coughed and said, "I will not hide it from you. The old minister has been feeling unwell recently. I want to come to serve Duke Wen. The day of Duke Xiang is coming."
There was an uproar in the hall.
Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Xiang of Jin have been dead for many years, so everyone can hear the meaning of Zhao Dun's words.
Zhao Dun is about to die.
Although there have been rumors, this is the first time Zhao Dun admits this in public.
The eyes of the Duke of Jin shrank, and his expression was a little confused when he looked at Zhao Dun: "Is Zhao Meng kidding with this Duke?"
Zhao Dun said slowly: "Jun Hou is joking, how dare I deceive you on such an occasion?"
The Duke of Jin breathed out and said, "So Zhao Meng means..."
Zhao Dun said: "The old minister thought it might be time to decide the next senior minister."
quiet.
silence.
After a few seconds, the Marquis of Jin said, "Can Zhao Meng have a candidate for the next Shangqing?"
Zhao Dun smiled slightly and said, "That's right."
Everyone's breathing seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.
The Marquis of Jin asked, "Who?"
Zhao Dun looked at Lin's father, the second among the six nobles, and then passed Lin's father of the Central Committee, stopped on someone next to Lin's father of the Central Committee, and spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Xi Bo is the leader of the lower minister, has worked hard and made great contributions for many years, and has been loyal to the great Jin Dynasty. He is also a good helper for the old minister. He is actually the best choice to inherit the position of the upper minister."
At this moment, everyone's heartbeat seemed to be half a beat slower, and they all turned their attention to Huang Que.
There are also a small number of people who look at Lin's father in Zhongxing, but the meanings in their eyes are completely different.
According to convention, the positions of the Six Ministers are gradually increased, so the second-ranked Central Army, Zhongxing, is the most promising person.
However, now, the third-ranked general, Xique, overtakes on the curve and becomes the heir appointed by Zhao Dunqin!
Lin's father in the Central Bank lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.
Xique's body vibrated significantly, looked at Zhao Dun, nodded vigorously, but said nothing.
Many officials were either overjoyed, shocked, disappointed, or unfaithful, or had nothing to do with themselves. All sentient beings were in different ways.
It was still the Marquis of Jin who broke the silence: "If Xi Bo is the Supreme Lord, then what should Zhongxing Bo?"
Zhao Dun looked at the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Jin was also looking at Zhao Dun.
Zhao Dun smiled and said, "Your Majesty said before that the blood shed today is already enough. Therefore, the Zhongxing Bo is of course still the Zhongxing Bo. Tomorrow's Zhongxing Bo and today, yesterday and even the day before yesterday will not be different."
The Marquis of Jin nodded and said, "I understand. All the ministers and doctors, do you have something to say about Zhao Mengzhi's proposal?"
There was a silence.
The Marquis of Jin waited for a moment and said slowly: "Then follow Zhao Meng's wishes and take over Zhao Meng's position."
Lin's father in the Central Bank still lowered his head.
But he stood up and respectfully saluted the Duke of Jin and Zhao Dun, and the two of them sat upright and received it.
The Marquis of Jin had no expression on his face.
Zhao Dun nodded with a smile.
But he sat down again, and everyone's eyes were completely different at this moment.
In the near future, the lower minister of the Que clan will surpass the middle minister and be promoted to the upper minister in one step, becoming the ruler of the Jin State with one person below ten thousand people!
In addition to Zhao, the Que became another shining winner in this political struggle.
Correspondingly, Xu and Zhongxing became background boards and losers. Xu Ke, the sect leader of Xu, lost his life, while Zhongxing, the sect leader of Zhongxing, lost his position as Shangqing who was close to him.
Wei Xiang stood behind Zhao Shuo, looking at Lin's father who was still bowing his head, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised.
Who says ants can't beat elephants?
Father Lin of the Bank of China, when you are confident and want to use the means of killing Xiaoye to destroy the power of Zhao, you will definitely not have thought of this situation now, right?
Thinking of this, Wei Xiang's smile became brighter.
Before everyone could calm down, Zhao Dun spoke again: "In addition to this matter, I have another thing to discuss with you."
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After exchanging the life of Lin's father in the Central Bank with the position of Shangqing, the sharpness of Jinhou suddenly disappeared completely, and a humble smile appeared on his face again: "What else does Zhao Meng have to do?"
Zhao Dun smiled and said, "Bo Xu is one of the six ministers. Now that Bo Xu is dead, you should choose a suitable candidate as soon as possible. I wonder what you are waiting for?"
The Marquis of Jin nodded and said, "This is what it should be. I wonder who Zhao Meng has?"
Zhao Dun smiled and said, "The Great Jin is the Great Jin of the Ji surname, and the Great Jin of the King and the King. How can the old ministers interfere in their affairs?"
The Duke of Jin shook his head and said, "Zhao Meng is such a bad word. Zhao Meng is also a minister of the Great Jin. It is natural to recommend talents to the Great Jin."
Zhao Dun still smiled without saying a word.
Suddenly, the one who had been appointed was missing, said: "Jun Hou, Zhao Meng, I have a candidate. I wonder if you are interested in listening?"
The Marquis of Jin glanced at Zhao Dun, seemed to understand something, and smiled at Keque and said, "Jebo, just come here."
But Que showed a cool smile as usual and said, "Zhao's gentleman Zhao Shuo, who has always been famous for his talents, is the best choice to inherit Zhao Meng's will. Now that the nobles are missing, it is best to use the gentleman Zhao Shuo as the subordinate of the army."
The Marquis of Jin nodded, and the humble smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "What Que Bo said... is exactly what I mean by this Marquis, so that's what he said."
Under everyone's eyes, the young Zhao Shuo stood up and saluted at the Marquis of Jin and Zhao Dun respectively.
The King of Jin was short of return.
From this moment on, Zhao Shuo officially ranked among the six ministers of Jin State, becoming the last-ranked subordinate of the six ministers, and was also the youngest among the six ministers, the only one who was less than thirty years old.
...
The court's proposal ends from now on.
A moment later, Wei Xiang, who was standing outside the hall, looked at Zhao Dun who was surrounded by people and slowly climbed onto the carriage, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
The Marquis of Jin lost, and the Zhongxing family, Zhi family and Xu family also lost.
The Zhao family and the Que family became the biggest winners, the Que family won the present, and the Zhao family won the future.
Under the strong suggestion of Wei Xiang, Wei finally succeeded in standing on the side of the winner.
This was the first time that Wei Xiang had personally participated in such political struggles. He felt the struggle between the nobles and officials in the Spring and Autumn Period for the first time.
Subtle and restrained, direct and rough, beyond the control but reasonable, cold and warm.
It is full of contradictions, but unexpectedly there is a strange sense of harmony.
This is the Spring and Autumn Period.
What an interesting time.
With the replacement of the candidates for the Six Ministers, the political struggle of Jin has officially come to an end.
But Wei Xiang knew that this was only a phased end, and the struggle for power within Jin Dynasty would not stop because of this, but would only become more intense in the future.
Today's Wei Xiang is a chess piece, but Wei Xiang cannot always be just a chess piece.
Wei Xiang was sure that one day he would sit next to the chessboard and watch the chess game in Jin and even the world, all under his control!
...
Wei's beautiful vision of future was suddenly interrupted. He came to his senses and saw Zhao Shuo who was smiling and full of confidence.
"Get in the car, I have something to say to you."

"Hengjian Wei Shuo Chapter 2": "Xu Ke retreated, and Xun Lin's father said, "The King of Wei lost his etiquette before, and he should beheaded." The emperor laughed and said, "Why are you evil? I am the king." Xun Lin's father was furious and said, "You priest, how dare you be arrogant?" At that time, Zhao Dun entered the hall and heard this and scolded, "How foolish is Xun Bo? This is a saint!"
Xun Lin's father was unmoved. When the Duke of Jin was shocked when he heard this, he asked Zhao Dun to know about the divine weapons. He left the seat and asked the emperor to sit down. The emperor asked again and again but could not escape, so he sat down.
The Duke of Jin even scolded Xu Ke, and Xun Lin's father said, "How can you be so arrogant to the saint!" Xun Ke was ashamed and turned himself to the spot. Xun Lin's father covered his face and retreated. Seeing that the Duke of Jin saw that he had a slight scourge, he repeatedly accused the emperor, but he also took Xun Lin's position as the father of Xun Lin, and succeeded Zhao Dun as the position of Shangqing.
