Chapter 653： Su Xiang's promise?

Su Xinghai has been nearly sixty years old this year. In terms of the cabinet's seniority, he and Duan Tanglin are the oldest. Since the left-tier was demoted, the cabinet has been between him and Duan Tanglin.

Of course, their so-called court resistance is not the same as the whispers in the days of Dai Gao. When Dai Gao was the first assistant, Dai Gao could be said to cover the sky with one hand. All the affairs of the Central Government had to be carried out by nodding their heads. The cabinet at that time It is the real cabinet.

Su Xinghai and Duan Tanglin were both prime ministers who Dai Gao introduced into the cabinet. They had almost no right to speak in Dai Gao's time! After Dai Gao, the crown prince supervised the country and the king of Qin participated in politics. The cabinet was no longer beautiful overnight. King Qin and the crown prince directly spared the cabinet and issued orders to the six ministries. Emperor Xin De often made orders directly without going through the cabinet deliberations. The position became awkward.

But in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for forty years, now suddenly there is no prince in the capital, and Emperor Xin De is fascinated by Xiuxian and asked, in such a big country, can government affairs one day slack off?

For a while, the cabinet became hot again, and the importance of Su Xinghai, the first assistant, rose directly, so much so that in his 60s, he stayed up late for the past few days, but he was still full of energy and vigor.

The cabinet, the door came to report, saying that the official secretary Lu Zheng came to visit, and Su Xinghai said hurriedly: "Quickly, please! Please, Master Lu, quickly!"

"Su Xiang, kid Lu Zheng is here to give you a courtesy!" Lu Zheng walked in from the outside with a smile and looked at him, dressed in a purple official gown, smiling and polite.

Su Xinghai was in a daze. According to the rules of the Dakang Dynasty, those wearing purple robes need to be ranked third. However, it is extremely rare for a third-rank official to wear a purple robe in youth like Lu Zheng for many years and more than fifty.

Lu Zheng wore a purple robe, and had an elegant and unrestrained temperament in seriousness, which made people feel comfortable. Su Xinghai couldn't help but praised: "What a young man, I am not young, and the ancients are not deceived! "

Su Xinghai's mood is obviously very good, he shouted at the waiter outside: "Hurry up and get tea, get tea before the rain!"

Lu Zheng and Su Xinghai are quite different in age. Lu Zheng is a generation younger than Su Qing and Su Zhi. Su Xinghai is Lu Zheng's grandfather, but now they are sitting separately for the host and the guest. Where does the seniority show?

When the tea came, Su Xinghai greeted Lu Zheng enthusiastically for a cup of tea. The two chatted while drinking tea. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Su Xinghai said: "The hero is a young man. With rave reviews, Lu Zheng, you are a good book!"

Su Xinghai's words gave Lu Zheng a great affirmation. In fact, it was not his affirmation. Indeed, after Lu Zheng went to the staff, he showed beyond everyone's expectations, and he quickly grasped the situation.

You must know that the two servants in the staff department are not ordinary people, especially Duan Zhengxian. His background is very deep. Su Xinghai and him feel a bit difficult to fight against each other, but after Lu Zheng took the position, it was only a few months later. Master, Duan Zhengxian didn't see much waves. To be honest, Su Xinghai was still surprised!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Duan Zheng is Su Xinghai’s old opponent. He is slightly younger than Su Xinghai, but the two have served as officials in the court. There is another point. Duan and Su are both rich in capital. The power clan, the two families have been wrestling with each other in secret since the establishment of the Dakang Dynasty!

Su Xinghai, as the chief assistant, has gradually gained power recently, but King Qin has been operating for a long time over the six departments. The key point is that Su Xinghai is still facing the constraints of Duan Tanglin on the cabinet side, and Su Xinghai is also under pressure.

Duan Zhengxian and Duan Tanglin are both members of the Duan family. Although they are somewhat discordant internally, there is no doubt that they are united when they are unanimously outside! In this case, Su Xinghai needs help!

Lu Zheng tasted the tea and praised it: "Good tea!" Su Xinghai said, "This tea is specially made to pay tribute to Jiannan Road. Your majesty and the old man likes this one, privately rewarded it! If you like it, I will later. Let someone pack a bag for you and take it home, and taste it when you go home!"

Lu Zheng was not polite, and said, "Then you will be polite to Su Xiang! Today, I have no other intention to visit Su Xiang, just to express my attitude! At present, there is no backbone in Beijing, and King Qi and King Qin are going for the country. The Dakang Dynasty administers so many provinces, so many places, and government affairs are heavy, and our six ministries cannot be divided and ruled. Therefore, the burden on the cabinet side must be very important.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion outside, saying that the cabinet's prime minister has a fierce dispute. In the eyes of the kid Lu Zheng, what is the controversy about the cabinet prime minister? We are all working for your majesty. There is no doubt that your majesty has appointed you as the chief assistant. In that case, Su Xiang, you should take up the burden.

I dare not say much about the other ministries, but our staff is absolutely the only one who is the leader of the Soviet Union! "

As soon as Lu Zheng said this, the audience was quiet, and Su Xinghai was stunned, and a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. Lu Zheng said this bluntly, but the more blunt at this time, the more urgent it was for Su Xinghai.

Su Xinghai had calculated in his mind that there was a great chance of winning Lu Zheng among the six books, because Lu Zheng and the Su family were closely related. He was a student of Su Qing and had a lot of intersections with Su Zhi. No matter from which aspect, he They should all stand on the side of Su Xinghai.

However, political matters involve interests after all, and everything is an exchange of interests. There has never been unprovoked support, let alone unreasonable support. Su Xinghai needs Lu Zheng's support. In turn, what benefits can he give Lu Zheng? ? If not, why should Lu Zheng support him vigorously?

Su Xinghai took advantage of Lu Zheng’s tea time and he had been thinking about it in secret. He had already faintly figured out some ideas, ready to take this opportunity to say it slowly. He didn’t expect Lu Zheng to be so straightforward and bright. The attitude made him feel very surprised.

"Lu Zheng, young hero, young talent, really worth it!" Su Xinghai praised, and he said: "Lu Zheng, since you say that, I am not hiding it as an elder. Recently, the situation in Beijing has Great changes, not only for you and me, but even for our Su family and your Lu family, this is a challenge and an opportunity at the same time!

If you can come here today, it shows that you and I have similar political views. You and I both hope that Dakang will prosper! In this case, I will go back to the door of the house and walk around with your grandpa more! The Lu family has suffered too many grievances over the years, and it's time for a turnaround! "

When Su Xinghai said this, his promise to Lu Zheng was very clear, that is, Lu Zheng supported him, and Su Xinghai let the Lu family take root in the capital, which meant too much for the Lu family.

Imagine that for so many years, the few big giants in the capital, the already finished Zhang family will not talk about it, just talk about the Gu family and the Chen family, they all moved to the capital, have they ever established a foothold in the capital in these years?

The capital is not an ordinary place. It is not easy to do things here. Now Su Xinghai has agreed to the Lu family, which means that the Lu family can take root in the capital. This way, the Lu family will be able to return to the powerhouse industry. I have to say, Su Xinghai This promise is really tempting.

However, from Lu Zheng’s perspective, he doesn’t care very much. Lu Zheng doesn’t care about whether the Lu family can rise or not, because now Dakang’s situation is getting more and more complicated. If Dakang is compared to a ship, then what is this ship? There are more and more variables about where to head, so Lu Zheng pays more attention to practical interests.

However, Lu Zheng would not ask Su Xinghai for these benefits, because in the current situation in Beijing, it is best for Su Xinghai to take the lead, because whether King Qin or King Qi triumphantly, when they come back, the political situation of Dakang will be new again. In that kind of situation, Su Xinghai was the person on the cusp of the storm, and Lu Zheng was a spectator who was hiding behind and watching coldly.

Compared with the so-called benefits in the front, Lu Zheng is more concerned about the possibility in the back! Lu Zheng is now very jealous of Emperor Xin De, he is too afraid that his majesty will push him to the forefront!

Considering Lu Zheng's experience, his trip to Beiyan was the cusp of the storm. After the prince rebelled, the Emperor Xinde worshipped Lu Zheng as the chief in charge of countering the rebellion and was responsible for destroying the rebels. This was another cusp!

Lu Zheng knows very well that standing on the cusp of the storm seems to be chic, but in fact, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will be forever...

Now that Su Xinghai is in front and Lu Zheng is hiding behind, there will be drastic changes in the future, and Lu Zheng can at least avoid the limelight. This is extremely important to him...
