Chapter 908 Two parties intercede
Huang Qianshan was secretly proud. From Du Hao's attitude, he could tell that he could get the most benefit from this matter.
He pretended to help Du Hao up, "Your nephew doesn't need to do this big gift, please get up quickly!"
He asked Du Hao to sit down and let people see tea again, but Du Hao said anxiously: "My father definitely does not want to give up Bianliang, but the defense made Yue Fei lead his army to attack without authorization. Bianliang was attacked by Jin soldiers. If we don't evacuate in time, In the end, 5,000 people also wiped out the entire army, and the 100,000 Jin soldiers overwhelmed the city, so my father had to abandon Bianliang. There was a reason for this, and I hope Uncle Shi will explain it to the officials."
Huang Qianshan took a sip of tea in a calm manner, "I remember that your father still has many old classmates in the court. Did my nephew go for a run?"
Du Hao was sad, his father had a lot of contacts in the court, but no one was willing to stand up for his father in this matter, and even avoided himself like a snake. He also knew that Huang Qianshan was not a good stubble, and he would not ask for it unless he had to. On his head, there is nothing he can do now, if his father falls, the Du family will also be finished.
But Du Hao also knew that if he showed no way out, Huang Qianshan would not help him. My friends expressed their willingness to help, but their right to speak is weak after all, and they cannot be compared with Uncle Shi, so I have to ask Uncle Shi for help in this matter."
Huang Qianshan drank tea and kept silent. As the saying goes, if you don’t see a rabbit, you don’t scatter an eagle.
Du Hao thought for a while and said, "Father is willing to recommend Uncle Shi as prime minister with all his strength!"
Huang Qianshan almost spit out a mouthful of tea, he gave Du Hao a hard look, he had the face to say this kind of condition, in the past Du Chong was a strong candidate for the prime minister, if he made such a statement at that time, he would really Thinking about it, but now, not to mention Xiangguo, Du Chongneng's relegation to the common people is already smoke from the ancestral grave, and he even expressed his willingness to give up the position of Xiangguo to himself. What right does he have to say this now? Fart!
Huang Qianshan said with a cold face: "Your father really caused a big disaster this time. He actually lost Tokyo Bianliang. You must know that the Taimiao has not been completely moved to Lin'an. He gave up the Taimiao to Jin Bing, which caused an uproar in the government and the public, and the officials were furious." , how do you ask me to help him?"
Du Hao explained with a sad face: "There is indeed a reason for the incident, and my father definitely did not give up on purpose."
Huang Qianshan didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hand and said: "Now the officials are angry, no one can persuade you, unless you can bribe the people in the palace, or let the whole Zhizheng hall speak for your father, otherwise, no one can do anything. "
"But. Uncle Shi is the most trusted person in the government. Even Uncle Shi refuses to help. Who else can help my father?"
Huang Qianshan scolded Du Hao in his heart for being stupid, do he have to force himself to speak out?
Reluctantly, Huang Qianshan pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this! I'll find Hou Gonggong in the palace for you. He is in charge of the daily life of the official family. He may be able to say a few good words, but Hou Chongen is very greedy. Your Du family has to prepare for it." Only a heavy gift will do."
Du Hao asked tremblingly, "How much money do you need?"
"It's not about money. Hou Chongen likes to collect famous calligraphy. I remember that your father has five masterpieces in his study. Give them to Eunuch Hou as a gift!"
Du Hao was stunned. Those five pieces of calligraphy were his father's favorite. There were authentic works by Chu Suiliang, Yan Zhenqing and Yu Shinan. How could he explain to his father if they were the treasures of the Du family's town house?
He thought for a while and said: "I still have some silver at home, how about I take 10,000 taels of silver, no! 30,000 taels of silver, please ask Uncle Shi to manage it for me."
Huang Qianshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Du family had so much money. Of course, Huang Qianshan never hated money. Since the other party proposed it, he was not polite.
Huang Qianshan said with a dry smile: "My nephew may not understand what I mean. The five pieces of calligraphy are only for Eunuch Hou. In addition, the people in the palace also need to take care of them. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are indispensable. Calligraphy alone is not enough, but only Money is not enough, both are indispensable, does my nephew understand?"
Du Hao didn't say anything for a long time. If he could save his father's fate, he would give the calligraphy as well, and he was not stingy with the money. He was afraid that the money would be spent but nothing could be done, and his father would be **** to death.
Huang Qianshan's face sank and said: "If my nephew can't trust me, then I have nothing to do, you go back first! Seeing from the friendship with your father for many years, I will do my best. As for the relationship in the palace, I have nothing to do." There’s nothing I can do about it, forgive me.”
The words have reached this level, and Du Hao has no choice. He can only sigh and say: "Okay! As long as the matter can be done, I will definitely give the painting and the silver."
"no!"
Huang Qianshan flatly refused, "You can't wait to send the gift later, you must send the gift first. This is the rule of doing things, otherwise the matter will definitely not be done. I use my contacts to run around. If the nephew wants to thank me, we can talk about it later. But the five pieces of calligraphy and 30,000 taels of silver will be sent to the palace tonight, you send the things first, and I will figure out a way."
Du Hao was so forced that he had no choice but to back off the bottom line again and again, but he couldn't back off the last bottom line. He looked at Huang Qianshan seriously and said: "I will deliver the things today, but I hope Uncle Shi can promise me, Let my father survive this disaster safely."
Huang Qianshan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Nephew, don't worry! As long as the gifts are enough, there is nothing that cannot be done."
Du Hao said goodbye and left, but he didn't understand the meaning of Huang Qianshan's last sentence: You can only do things if you have enough gifts. If things can't be done, it must be due to lack of courtesy. It means that the Du family is not sincere enough, and Huang Qianshan has nothing to do with him up.
At the same moment when Du Hao begged Huang Qianshan in a low voice, a special guest also came to Qin Hui's mansion. At present, Qin Hui is serving as the Minister of Rites, and the court allocated him a three-acre official residence, which is still the special treatment of the emperor. At present, only officials from the third rank and above are allocated official residences. Qin Hui received special attention from the emperor Zhao Gou because he brought back the emperor's handbook.
In the study room, a tall and fat middle-aged man stood in the dark place, looking coldly at Qin Hui who was sitting behind the desk and reading a letter. The letter was written by Wan Yan Xieye to Qin Hui, and the content was very short. , asked Qin Hui to ensure that Du Chong passed the test. Qin Hui had already read it three times, and every word was deeply etched in his mind, but he was going to read it for the fourth time. In fact, from the second time on, he was Use the letter to cover up the inner shock.
Of course Qin Hui knew that he was a **** that Wanyan Xie also placed in the Song court, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to play a role so soon. It was only a few days since he became the Minister of Rites!
Qin Hui quickly glanced at the man in the shadow again. This man was vaguely familiar to him. He seemed to be the shopkeeper of a certain teahouse. Unexpectedly, he was Jin Guoan's spy in Lin'an Mansion.
After pondering for a while, Qin Hui gradually calmed down, and said to the man lightly: "I have read the letter, please reply for me, I will do my best."
The man didn't have any expression on his face, didn't say a word, turned around and left quickly. Qin Hui hurried to the door and shouted loudly: "See off!"
Qin Hui didn't go to see off the guests, he closed the door and paced back and forth in the study, he was very confused, he had just established himself in the imperial court, and Wanyan Xie started to use him, which disrupted Qin Hui's plan a bit.
At present, the Zhizheng Hall is dominated by the main combat faction, followed by the middle faction. The main peace faction has not yet appeared in the Zhizheng Hall. Counting the important officials of the court, only Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan are the representatives of the main peace faction. At this time, Qin Hui Of course, it is impossible to jump out and become the main peace faction. He originally wanted to hug the thigh of the main battle faction, put himself on the signboard of the main battle faction first, and then gradually turn into a middle-of-the-road faction, which will benefit his career development.
But Wan Yanxie also threw Du Chong's matter to him. If he publicly pleaded for Du Chong, wouldn't it make people see Qin Hui's essence?
Although there was resentment in his heart, Qin Hui also knew that he couldn't ignore it. Qin Hui paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking hard about a solution for Du Chong's relief.
At this time, Qin Hui had already realized that Du Chong, like himself, was also a **** that Wan Yanxie also planned to place in Song Dynasty.
