Chapter XXVII
p> The secret pair in the Chongzheng Palace is not known to outsiders because the Empress Dowager has retreated, even the two ministers who are well-informed, Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong. What's even more strange is that the person concerned, Wang Entropy, has been closed since then, and he is bent on calling himself sick, and even the worship post of Liumengyan was politely sent back, and he really didn't see anyone else.
p > then several edicts covered with the emperor's treasure seal and the empress dowager's seal were sent to the political affairs hall, all of which were about the promotion of officials in the DPRK and China. This kind of thing has happened for the first time since the sage took office, and in the past, it was the government hall that selected people and sent them to the palace for sealing, this time it was unusual, of course, it would not be for no reason.
p> "Don't look at it, this is for me, Wu Jian and Jia Yuqing are the same as the Privy Council, and the other is appointed to sign the Privy Council, Jia Xuan Weng is the Household Department Servant and the Pacification Envoy of Zhejiang Xi, Zhilin'an Mansion, Xu Zongren is the pacification envoy of Jiangxi, Chen Jingxing is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, and the sage is expressing her dissatisfaction by rectifying the Privy Council. ”
p> Chen Yizhong sighed, the privy government has a prefect, and he, the right prime minister who nominally knows the affairs of the privy council, can only stay in the political hall and listen to the affairs, and can no longer sit in the palace to deal with it directly. This is nothing, the division and rule of the two governments is the old practice of the country, and the prevention is the dominance of power, of course, there is really a person like Jia Yidao, and the system will not play a role.
p>But these appointments, he can't even say a reason for opposition, there is no governor in the cardinal government, there is no master in the Lin'an mansion, and there is no marshal minister on Jiangxi Road, all of which are really important ministries and cannot be vacant for a long time. In doing so, the Empress Dowager has clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the political affairs hall, and has expressed it in this form.
P> Who's to blame for this? He is not Jia Yidao, he does not have the authority to make a decision, and every appointment above him has to compete with the rest of the two. Recently, with the victory of the Jiankang War, he has a slight upper hand, but things have to come slowly, because the position is critical, it is necessary to choose people well, and the time will inevitably be longer.
p > let go of these emotions in his heart, he took the book from the hands of his staff again, looked at the name on it, and after thinking about it, he suddenly found that except for Chen Jingxing, who is a subordinate of Wang Entropy, the rest of them did not have any omissions in terms of qualifications and grades, in short, these appointments were not inappropriate, but too suitable, and it didn't seem to be from the hands of a deep palace woman at all.
p > recalled that the first emperor died last year, and the four-year-old young emperor Lingqian ascended the throne, according to the convention, it should be his biological mother Empress Dowager Quan's regent, but at that time, Jia Taishi, who was in power and opposition, moved out the Empress Dowager Xie Shi, who was in her sixties, in the name of being young and having to raise the young emperor, which caused the current situation.
p > at that time, he was still in the privy mansion, and he couldn't figure out Jia Yidao's choice, obviously the whole queen was better controlled, why did he choose Xie in the end? Thinking about it now, this old fox was only afraid that he had already anticipated his fate, so he arranged such a back road in advance, if it weren't for the unanimous request of the courtiers in a critical situation, the Xie clan would not have sent him out of Yuanzhou.
p> For the middle decree, the prime minister has the right to refute it, naturally in the case of sufficient reasons, the chief of Renzong's time can say that the appointment of a concubine in the harem can be dismissed and dismissed, without giving the king face at all, which created the victory of the famous minister Ying Dynasty. Do you dare to seal it back? Chen Yizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, he wanted to do this, not only refuted the face of the Empress Dowager, but also offended everyone above, it was really calculating, and when it came to what happened in the court, he became more and more convinced that this was from the meaning of the old fox king entropy.
p> "Don't worry about Xianggong, isn't your mention also on it?" The staff clicked on the book that he put on the bookcase and said, don't look at it, Chen Yizhong also understands what he is talking about, Li Fu wrote on it with "Huainan West Road to pacify the envoy, Zhiluzhou and Huaixi Soldiers and Horses" is written on it, but there is neither a scholar's title nor a bachelor's, let alone the position of the cardinal.
p> On the other hand, Li Tingzhi added the governor's political affairs and the same knowledge of the Privy Council, and he was specially promoted to the Shaobao from the first product in the decree! In the name of the deputy prime minister, he was crowned "the founding prince of Handong County, with 2,100 households and 400 households." Handong County, Chen Yizhong stroked his beard and sighed, that is the birthplace of Li Tingzhi, what a great grace, although Suizhou has fallen into the hands of Tartars at this moment.
p > In this way, how can Li Fu, who has just touched the threshold of the third grade of the Huaixi Luchen, resist Li Shaobao, who nominally commands the entire Jianghuai? I'm afraid that his decree will not be able to leave Luzhou City from now on, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under Xia Gui, how can they listen to him as the commander of a small army and horses, what is the significance of such an appointment?
p > Li Tingzhi's military exploits are there, and the promotion of the Duke to the throne is due, not to mention, according to the military report he just received, he is leading the army to fight against the Tartars in Huangzhou at the moment. If you say anything, you can't raise doubts now, if you do that, he will really become the target of the public, there are three phases in the political hall, Wang Entropy doesn't need to say it, Liu Mengyan is also a personal essence, what will he think? For a while, Chen Yizhong was a little silent.
P> "You find someone to see where the photo is at the moment." Thinking of this, Chen Yizhong commanded, he had already gotten the news, Wang Entropy closed the door and did not see Liumengyan and failed to enter the mansion, then he would probably be in his own mansion, this person is not Wang Entropy's person, the two of them are close only because of balance, in the current situation, with his understanding, this person should be in the center again.
p> This time, Chen Yizhong guessed wrong, Liu Mengyan was neither in the political hall nor in his own mansion at the moment, but entered the palace and came to the Ciyuan Palace. Hearing his request, Xie Shi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her will, the person who couldn't sit still first was not Chen Yizhong but him.
p> "Why, the old body still thought that Chen Yizhong would come first, why are you in such a hurry to come here with a white face?" He invited someone in, and as soon as he saw the ceremony, Xie Shi looked at him playfully and said with a smile. She knows that she can't fight these old oilmen in officialdom if she plays with her heart or something, so she doesn't have to be polite to him.
p > "The Empress Dowager laughed, the old minister came because it was close to noon, the last time the lamb soup eaten in the palace was very delicious, but unfortunately it was all eaten by Chen Youquan, recently the ministers visited Lin'an City, and they couldn't find anyone who could make this taste, so they had to come to the sage with a cheeky old face to beg. ”
p > Liumengyan's remarks made Xie Shi laugh, although he knew that he was talking nonsense, it was also very useful. She doesn't understand that political affairs are true, but it doesn't mean that she can't hear the wit in other people's words, otherwise the harem battle would have died in vain, since this old boy said so, she would have listened to it in vain.
p> "Go and go, who doesn't know that you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion Fujia Lin'an City, and even the clothes you wear here are going to be patched, and you are embarrassed to come to fight the autumn breeze." There is no mutton, if you can swallow the coarse tea and light rice, the old body will leave you a seat, how about it? ”
p> "The grace of the saints is grateful. Liu Mengyan did not hesitate to the end, as if he was afraid that Xie would regret it, he hurriedly thanked him, Xie had no choice but to order someone to prepare a food table for him, just like last time in the food hall, of course, it is impossible to really serve coarse tea and light rice, but it is just the usual ones.
p > "Liumengyan, the old body still remembers that you were the champion of the first emperor, when Emperor Lizong once said that you were 'talented and smart', and now it seems that this is the case, and now I have eaten, let's talk about it, what happened to you when you entered the palace?" The two of them finished their meal quietly, didn't eat much, took a cup of tea and rinsed their mouths, and Xie asked.
p> "The saint has a good memory, and the minister is indeed the first of the fourth year of Chunyou's Jiachen Keden, and the minister was only twenty-five years old that year, and he was young and frivolous. Liu Mengyan's movements were faster than Xie's, he had been waiting there for a long time, and when he heard the question mention of Emperor Xianxian, he stood up and bowed his hand and thanked him.
p > "Jin Mingchi sings, Donghuamen praises the official", hairpin flower boy champion and first, that is the most glorious moment of Liumengyan's life, how can he not remember. Now that he is the deputy prime minister, he is only one step away from becoming a supreme minister, and he is only in his fifties, and that day is only a matter of time.
p> "The ministers have come here to do something else, since ancient times, the ministers and auxiliaries have competed against each other to be unfavorable to the country, and the ministers have disregarded the society, resulting in the desolation of the government and government, the edict is not clear, the interpretation and selection are not planned, and the saint is worried, it is really a dereliction of duty and negligence, and the minister is here to beg the empress dowager to surrender." After Liu Mengyan finished speaking, he couldn't bow down again.
p> Xie Shi looked at him speechlessly, he was just a deputy minister, and he couldn't catch up with him, and no one in the government and the opposition knew that he was sleek and flexible. These words, obviously talking about himself, but all of them are directed at others, this contrived is not like what he usually does, what is the meaning of it?
P> "Get up, you are also in your fifties, don't bow down at every turn, there is nothing to be guilty of in the old body." It is not easy for you to do things, and the old body also knows it, but the major affairs of the court cannot be delayed, and the heavy responsibility of the military state is even more important. ”
p> "The old minister is grateful, what the sage said is very true, the will of the minister has seen it, and the person who is determined is very suitable, and the minister is only like this when he chooses himself." But what the minister wants to say is not this, the public suspicions of the political affairs hall are growing day by day, and they have reached the point of making trouble, if they are not measured, such a thing is only afraid of annoyance. ”
P> "Then according to what you see, what should be done with the old body?" Xie Shi understood what he meant, originally she wanted to wait for Chen Yizhong to come, and that was the person concerned, but since Liu Mengyan brought it up, he must have something to think about, so he might as well listen to it.
p>"The minister believes that in the current situation, due to the unclear rights and responsibilities and the duplication of each other, it is very easy to prevaricate and dispute. Since the dynasty is divided into left and right, it should each receive its own responsibilities, and then rule it with a flat chapter, even if there is a disagreement, it will stop in the political hall, so that it can alleviate the worries of the saints. ”
p> Liumengyan said very clearly, now the two phases are divided into powers, each doing its own thing, and in case of trouble, it is-for-tat, and in the end it can only be sent to the palace to make a decision, so where is there still efficiency. Xie Shi didn't say anything after listening to it, this is certainly feasible, but the example of Jia Rudao is there, this person is still on the way to exile, who will be this Pingzhang? R1058
