Chapter 2711 Internal Citation and External Connection

Pan Ruzhen and Zuo Guangdou stood outside the hall and chatted together.

They are real villagers, both from Tongcheng, Anqing Prefecture, Nanzhi.

Pan Ruzhen was two years older than Zuo Guangdou, and he was a Jinshi one subject earlier, and the two of them had long been familiar with each other.

However, Pan Ruzhen's early official career was much bleaker than Zuo Guangdou's. From the beginning, he struggled in Shaanxi, until Feng Ziying became the governor of Shaanxi. His performance fell into Feng Ziying's eyes and was valued. Promoted again and again.

Zuo Guangdou was different. He was born as a good scholar, and after observing politics, he entered the Zhejiang Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and later worked as the prime minister of Dali Temple. The key position has always been valued by the leaders of the DPRK and China.

When Ye Fang and Ye Fang were in power, Ye Xianggao valued Zuo Guangdou very much, and after Huang Ruliang took over, he also favored him, so even when Gu Bingqian was the chief assistant, he did not dare to suppress Zuo Guangdou.

Zuo Guangdou has a straightforward personality, which is why he is dissatisfied with many of Gu Bingqian's performances. This situation also falls into the eyes of many people, and Gu Bingqian is a little jealous of him.

The relationship between Zuo Guangdou and Gu Bingqian is very ordinary. Although he voted for Gu Bingqian in the last round of voting and did not abstain from voting, both Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia had actually communicated with him, hoping that he would vote for them instead. He did not accept the lobbying of Guan Qiao and the two, and remained the same.

"Yizhi (Zuo Guangdou), what do you think?" Pan Ruzhen said casually.

"Hmph, why don't I think that's the way it is?" Zuo Guangdou sneered, "I've been thinking about these intrigues all day long. Is it meaningful? I didn't abstain to give him face. Guan Dongxian and Qiao Rujun also Not better than him, how did the court become like this?"

Pan Ruzhen laughed, "At their stage, it's normal to consider more factors,..."

"Zhen Pu (Pan Ruzhen's character), this is not normal! Is it possible that a high official of the court is used to plot the family's personal gain?" Zuo Guangdou said indignantly.

"Then, didn't you vote for Liu Ji Gong in the end?" Pan Ruzhen asked with a smile.

"That's because Guan Dongxian and Qiao Rujun are not worthy of my vote, and if I abstain from voting, I'm just worried that it will affect other people." Zuo Guangdou said bitterly: "It's annoying to be a mediocre person who has no intention of doing business. hateful!"

Seeing Zuo Guangdou's unapologetic words, Pan Ruzhen had some idea in his mind, "I'm afraid there will be little change in the results of the second round of voting. This stalemate is difficult to resolve, and it is of no benefit to the country."

Zuo Guangdou was also a shrewd person, and seemed to have heard some hidden meanings in Pan Ruzhen's words, and asked in surprise, "Didn't Mr. Feng Ge and you all vote to abstain? This stalemate has a lot to do with you guys." Is it?"

Pan Ruzhen waved his hands again and again, "Yi Zhi, this is wrong, even if Mr. Feng Ge and us voted for Liu Jigong or Ru Jungong, it is still the same. The number of votes is clearly there."

"That's not necessarily the case." Zuo Guangdou's expression was hesitant, "Fu Shi took the lead in abstaining, which might have attracted other people to follow suit. Wei Fan and Erhuang may not have the demonstration effect of Fu Shi."

"Hehe, you have underestimated the minds of scholars from Lingnan and Southwest." Pan Ruzhen shook his head, "They have long been dissatisfied with the neglect of Lingnan and Southwest by the court. First of all, even Ningbo and Quanzhou are not as good. Foshan’s iron production is still ranked first in the south of the Yangtze River. If it weren’t for the large increase in iron production in Gyeonggi, Anshan, and Xuzhou in the north, Foshan would be the number one. It was only broken, but even so, Foshan still ranks first in the export of iron materials, Guangdong's taxation has been ranked fourth in the country, not much inferior to Beizhi and Zhejiang,..., Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are slow to promote land reform, and the Southwest The scholars are very dissatisfied, thinking that the court is too weak,..."

Zuo Guangdou sighed. Scholars in each place represent the interests of their respective regions. If the court does not pay attention to it, it will naturally cause their dissatisfaction. It is no wonder that Gu Guanqiao and the others are not thinking about these things. The important ministers in Lingnan and Southwest were resolutely unwilling to support the three, and would rather abstain from voting to show their attitude.

"Everything has its own difficulties..." Zuo Guangdou, who had always been sharp, gave a rare explanation, but he found it difficult to convince himself.

"Everyone has difficulties, so don't blame others for the bad consequences." Pan Ruzhen glanced at Zuo Guangdou, "This stalemate should not continue, we should find a way to break it."

"Break?" Zuo Guangdou chewed on the word, and he realized that Pan Ruzhen found himself probably not as simple as chatting a few words to vent his emotions, "Zhen Pu, it seems that you have something in your words, is there anything else we need between you and me?" Is it covered up?"

"Well, if Liu Jigong can't get more than half of them, he can only act as the chief assistant, and the acting time may not be short. I'm afraid the scholars in Huguang, Beidi will not be convinced, and the situation will only become more and more rigid..." Pan Ruzhen pondered He said: "Is there a way to break the situation?"

"Zhen Pu, do you have one?" Zuo Guangdou tilted his head and looked at the other party.

"Couldn't Elder Fengge have this chance?" Even though Zuo Guangdou was somewhat prepared, he was still taken aback. He subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice: "Elder Fengge also intends...?"

"If the three of them can compromise with each other and choose one of them, it goes without saying, but if they refuse to compromise, it will be a dead end. Mr. Feng Ge may be the candidate that everyone can barely accept, Yizhi, what do you think? "Pan Ruzhen pointed out, looking directly at Zuo Guangdou.

Pan Ruzhen knew that Zuo Guangdou was the most dissatisfied with Gu Bingqian among the Jiangnan scholars, but he was also the most prestigious among the young and middle-aged scholars, so he would not directly abstain from voting like Wu Daonan, but still voted for Gu Bingqian.

But if Gu Bingqian had to make a difficult choice after it was difficult to achieve more than half of the votes, Pan Ruzhen believed that Zuo Guangdou should make a fair and selfless choice about what kind of situation is most beneficial to the country.

Zuo Guangdou was silent for a long time before raising his head, "Zhen Pu, Little Feng Ge always expected this situation, so why did you all abstain from voting and not support anyone?"

Pan Ruzhen shook his head, "We will support everyone, but it is a pity that even if they get our support, they cannot unite the hearts of others. This is the crux of the problem. A loose cabinet full of contradictions cannot promote the development of Da Zhou. Yes, Mr. Feng Ge can actually climb safely for a few years. We all know that he can afford to wait, but he would rather take risks and infamy, and stand up. Delaying for a few years will not benefit the country and the people. It's useless, I believe that you can understand Xiao Feng Ge's state of mind..."
