Chapter 127: The Adversary Knows Where
"When the emperor and the emperor's uncle inspected the south of the Yangtze River, and Mr. acquaintance, Mr. was not yet 20 years old at the time, the emperor appreciated Mr.'s talent and character, and Mr. regardless of the identity of the year, as a brother, and the emperor showed his identity, invited Mr. to enter the court as an official, but Mr. fled, the imperial uncle found Mr., Mr. escaped twice......"
"That's because, the minister's father was a traitor to the first dynasty, and committed the crime of beheading all over the house, and the minister escaped by luck when he was young, but he was a sinner in the end, after knowing the identity of the emperor, how could he not be afraid? How could he dare to enter the official career? But he didn't expect that the prince of Jin Xuan would take out the Danshu iron coupon for the minister to get rid of the crime of Zhulian and protect the minister from the official ......"
"Back then, my father was the same as I am today, in this imperial study, Mr. Ren chose his own official position, and Mr. only received a six-rank official title, entered the Lingyan Pavilion as an auxiliary scholar, and chose to be my auxiliary scholar, when I was only ten years old, the most unfavored by the emperor. Since then www.biquge.info I have always regarded him as my teacher. When I was seventeen years old, I confessed to Mr. that he wanted to compete for the storage position, but Mr. refused to help, but asked him to be the imperial envoy of the patrol and serve outside the country all the year round......"
"Your Majesty is a strange minister?"
"No, I don't blame Mr. I, Mr. I'm respecting. He said, "So did the first emperor." In fact, the former emperor has always been well aware of the battle for the succession, because he also came over like that, before the death of the first emperor, he told me that the failure of the gentleman in the succession is a great achievement, and the talent of the gentleman is not used to plot to seize the throne, but to be able to loyally protect the country. ”
"So, sir, I have won the throne, and in the future, I want Mr. to help me keep this throne in the world. ”
On that day, in the imperial study, Qiao Huai'an, who had just returned to Chang'an, knelt down solemnly in front of the new emperor of Daqi, and bowed to the ground: "Obey the holy will! Loyal to our emperor, God bless Daqi!"
Chen Jingxing knew that there might be thousands of courtiers chanting these eight words with great devotion in front of him, but I am afraid that Qiao Huai'an was the only one who truly believed in this sentence.
……
In the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he changed from an obscure six-rank official to a minister of the Great Qi State.
After Yin Jiheng recommended him, before the official appointment, he went to the imperial study to resign from Chen Jingxing, but Chen Jingxing did not follow him, but said: "No matter what their intentions are, they just did what I wanted to do, anyway, sir, you, the Minister of State and Auxiliary, should be decided." ”
"Sir has been dormant for more than ten years, and it's time to come out and make a big difference. ”
"No, the time has not yet come, they are tempting...... Who the hell is it?"
……
His thoughts were mixed, and he speculated with a little anxiety that when he walked on the palace road of the scattered dynasty, someone came to congratulate him, and he had no intention of coping with it, so he took care of himself.
This kind of situation happened to Qiao Huai'an, which is very rare, because he is always only a bystander, the most sober and the most secretive.
He watched a good show in the court, was well aware of the situation, waited for the opportunity, and he has been doing a good job, playing the role of this outsider vividly.
But why is this happening now? I'm still involved.
It's like an invisible hand, pushing him hard, pushing him into the game and becoming an insider.
Who is it?
"Qiao Guofu. ”
A hand reached out from behind, approached him, and with a force, patted him on the shoulder.
Qiao Huai'an, who was thinking out of his mind, couldn't help but be surprised, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Qingxuan's humble and smiling face.
He saluted him and said loudly: "Xiaguan congratulates Master Qiao on his ascension to the high position of national assistant. ”
Before he had time to change into a new official uniform, the two of them were still wearing the same official uniforms of the Imperial Historian, standing opposite each other, he looked at Gu Qingxuan, trying to find a flaw in his calm complexion.
Then he said bluntly: "I'm afraid that I still have to thank you, Master Gu, right?"
Gu Qingxuan's expression on his face changed naturally and seamlessly, "What does Master Qiao mean?"
The more natural he was, the more accurate Qiao Huai'an's intuition became, and he smiled calmly: "Yin Cheng doesn't know much about me, but he suddenly recommended me as a national assistant, this should be the advice you gave him, Lord Gu, right?" I really didn't expect that I reminded Lord Gu a little before, and Lord Gu gave me such a high official position, I really can't repay it." ”
Gu Qingxuan thought about it for a while, stopped pretending, and said with a straight smile: "Lord Qiao is serious. Gu only admired Lord Qiao very much, so he would advise and recommend the adult, and he had no other intentions. Having a high position, Lord Qiao should be happy, why do you not like it?"
Qiao Huai'an said: "Master Gu must not believe that there are people in Chang'an City who are not interested in fame and fortune, right?"
Gu Qingxuan smiled, looked at him, and said, "Gu believes it, and believes that you are one of them, Master Qiao." However, there may be people who do not seek fame and benefits, but no one has nothing to bear, some people only bear the burden of power and vanity, and some people bear the burden of family and country, no matter which one they are, they have to fight for and snatch for this burden, what if they are interested in fame and fortune, what if they do not seek fame and fortune? In the end, they are following the same road, and no one can stay out of it. ”
"Lord Qiao, what you bear may not be the desire for power, but you are destined to enter this power bureau, so ......"
He faced Qiao Huai'an, walked backwards, behind him was the majestic palace gate, spread his arms, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Qiao Guofu." ”
No one can hide and hide, and watch from the sidelines......
What a pair of sharp eyes are that?
He can see through the world and see through all the entanglements of fame and fortune, but the world can't read what he thinks and wants.
Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan......
……
A few days later, Chen Jingxing promoted Gu Qingxuan to the title of Yushitai Yushizhongcheng, and before the Yushi Doctor was decided, he was in charge of the official affairs of Yushitai and led the implementation of the "Reward Order".
The new official has three fires in office, let alone the appearance of a country?
The movement was naturally extraordinary.
Less than half a month after being promoted to prime minister, Yin Jiheng officially presented the emperor - in order to rejuvenate the country, it is necessary to make drastic innovations, the first of all, to suppress business and rejuvenate agriculture.
In his submission, he clearly pointed out that after more than a month of implementation of the "Reward Order", it can be clearly seen that the private property of the court officials is rich, but now the country is poor and the officials are rich, and this is closely related to the officials' reckless profits in foreign business.
After all, if there is anyone in the world who is most proud of doing business, it is the court officials who hold great power, and their power can bring them the most accessible business access and profits.
This kind of business has never been an equal business, and it involves too much power and money trading, and even many officials have abused their power, disrupted the market, and been corrupted by the desire for profit, which not only has failed the conduct of officials, but has also done great harm to those who do business in the private sector.
Power and profit, for court officials, should only exist the same.
Therefore, he suggested that the imperial court should establish an official system - officials and their blood relatives within the three clans were not allowed to do business, and the direct descendants of merchants were not allowed to enter the government.
At present, all incumbent officials must report their family business to the Ministry of Households, and hand over all of them to the "Zhenye Division" specially set up by the Ministry of Households, but they can keep the private property they have acquired, and will not be confiscated by the imperial court, but only turn all their businesses into state-run enterprises.
Taking into account the interests of officials, the imperial court should raise the official salary, double the overall value, and the welfare of Fuyin can be re-implemented and increased to twice a year, and the amount of Fuyin should be increased to five times the original amount.
……
This gesture of his set off an uproar in the court, and many officials were indignant and resolutely opposed it, and the court became a mess from top to bottom.
However, Yin Jiheng took the initiative to hand over his own business first, and it was difficult for them to say that they were unconvinced, and they were all afraid of the prestige of the new prime minister, so they were stuck for a while, and they waited for Chen Jingxing to make a decision.
