Chapter 211: Mr. Li is playing tricks
There are really few people who see the real purpose of Guo Zongxun's silent strengthening of the army's control over local areas.
In the eyes of the civilian officials, this is the little emperor's reckless military force, and improving the status of the military generals suppressed the civilian officials, but Guo Zongxun's actions are all step by step, and the Great Zhou is currently going around to discuss foreign affairs, who dares to make irresponsible remarks about the strategy of strengthening the army's control of the locality?
Guo Zongxun was not polite at all in the atmosphere in the court, and through some seemingly painless incidents, he ruthlessly cleaned up the civil official group headed by Fan Zhen and Wang Pu.
The most important thing is that whoever wants to pinpoint current affairs, who wants to criticize the government, and who wants to raise objections, including the imperial history, must not only explain the reasons clearly, but also come up with a strategy that you think is more secure.
At this moment, many imperial historians have shut up, because most of them are trolls, and they have a career of spraying people and spraying emperors, but in Guo Zongxun, it is not easy to use.
In the final analysis, the civilian clique currently does not have a strongman to lead the civil servants to confront the imperial power for the benefit of their families.
This is also the reason why Guo Zongxun has always kept Fan Zhen and Wang Pu as prime ministers, these two are definitely not strong orders, and they definitely do not have the ability to tilt the government and the opposition.
To put it bluntly, Guo Zongxun is interested in the essence of Fan Zhen and Wang Pu's soft bones, let them lead the civil officials, suppress them with enough imperial power and military deterrence, let them work for the emperor honestly, and they had better not think about anything else.
As for Wei Renpu, this is a smart person, he has long chosen to stand with the emperor, although his status is not as good as Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, and his appeal and prestige for civil officials are not as good as Fan Zhen and Wang Pu.
But this is also the effect that Guo Zongxun wants to see, Wei Renpu silently stood behind Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, giving these two people a sense of oppression, they dared to toss blindly, Guo Zongxun dared to replace them with Wei Renpu.
Anyway, Wei Renpu is also an auxiliary minister appointed by the former emperor Guo Rong, and in the past dynasties, the auxiliary ministers have poured into each other, you bring me down, I bring down his dramas, abound.
Speaking of military generals, it is all up to military generals to lead troops to fight, but since Guo Zongxun canceled the title of Shiyi? The fiefdom has been canceled, and now I basically don't worry about the situation of high merit and mastery.
Doesn't there be a situation where there is no seal? If you can't block it, you will seal your family? Anyway, the emperor has a mouth, and the title is casually sealed.
The Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles is rapidly spreading everywhere? It is inseparable from the strong support of the town guards in various places.
These will be the jobs of retired generals and soldiers in the army in the future, and the generals only hope to enjoy it for generations to come? How can it be possible and how dare it be sabotage?
Isn't it the Great Song now? The so-called Shomen family has not yet appeared? Or rather, there is no such thing as a climate.
It's not that there is no business in the military general's family, but it is far less big than the civil official group, and they are at most petty fights, and doing business is to play with their brains? Military generals will inevitably not be able to play civilian officials.
So Guo Zongxun steadily promoted the strategy of the army to control the locality? In fact, in order to wait for the time to be ripe, the commercial tax law will be fully implemented nationwide in Dazhou.
When the time comes, will it be necessary for the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles to set an example? It is necessary for the local army to come forward to suppress the disobedience.
These things, Chen Danwang as an official in charge of the household department? He could see it best, but he didn't dare to say it.
There is no need for Guo Zongxun to be a tyrant, this kind of emperor quietly enters the village, whoever dares to break it, who will wait to be found by the emperor to punish the nine clans.
But Chen Danwang still has no way to make a name for himself, he just doesn't dare to surrender to the emperor.
Because, as long as he takes the lead in proposing the improvement of the commercial tax law, he Chen Danwang will be the enemy of the entire civil official group and the businessmen of the world.
There is no need for the emperor to punish his nine clans, the entire civil official group and the world's businessmen will do this for the emperor.
Therefore, Chen Danwang has been very troubled recently, and he is listless all day long.
"Master, Mr. Li asks to see you."
Chen Danwang was sitting in the study in a daze, when the servant came to report, and Mr. Li, who was in the private school at home, asked to see him.
"Invite him in."
Mr. Li is a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, and he has a reputation for being a famous person, but he has no way out, and he has been in the era of war, so he has not obtained any official position for a long time.
"The student meets Master Shangshu."
Mr. Li's face was thin, with a goatee under his chin and his eyes blazing, and after entering the study, he saluted Chen Danwang.
"Mr. Li doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what happened when Mr. Li asked to see him today?"
Chen Danwang was bored, so he didn't want to be too polite with him.
"My lord, the student is here to ask for his resignation today."
Mr. Li spoke slowly and logically, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mr. Li, but the house has neglected you, if there is, Chen will tell the housekeeper and let them treat Mr. Li well."
Mr. Li shook his head and said:
"My lord, the students live very comfortably in the house, and the housekeeper also takes good care of the students, and the students resign, not because of this, but because of ......"
Speaking of this, Mr. Li deliberately stopped and did not continue.
"Oh, since Mr. Li is very comfortable in the house, why do you want to resign? Could it be that you have found a good tree again? ”
This sentence is a bit ironic, good feelings choose trees to perch, this is your Mr. Li has climbed a high branch again.
"No, no, no, the adults are already members of the third rank in the court, and they are in charge of the household department, even if the students climb high, where can they climb high? Don't hide it from adults, students resign to avoid trouble. ”
Mr. Li's face was mysterious, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"I don't know what trouble Mr. Li wants to avoid? If the official is within his ability, he will definitely help Mr. ”
Chen Danwang was strange, why did Mr. Li talk about it today and avoid trouble? Which trouble to avoid?
"Adult Gaoyi, if there is no adult this word, the student does not say much, resolutely resign, since the adult said to help the student one or two, then, it is better to let the student solve your doubts for the adult first."
Mr. Li's face was unfathomable, alas...... There's no way, in this world, people who don't play tricks on the mysteries want to get ahead, it's just too difficult.
This is also the truth that Li Xian realized after living for 40 years.
Chen Danwang smiled, Mr. Li has been in Shangshu Mansion for less than half a year, and he is highly appreciated by Chen Danwang because of his knowledge, but this is only the master's attitude towards the servant, and there is no intention of promoting it, but today it is ......
"Mr. Li, you go down, Chen will instruct the account office and let them pay you more silver taels, don't talk too much, please ......"
Mr. Li stood there, stunned for a moment, smiled with relief, bowed and said:
"In that case, then thank you, sir, the student quits."
After speaking, Mr. Li turned around and walked out of the study, but did not go to the account room, but returned to his room, packed his baggage, and left the house.
