Chapter 473: Candidate for Prime Minister
Thinking about it, Jing Hui is an official in most places, and although he has served as the right minister of the Central Taiwan Ranking, he has been in office for less than a year, so he is indeed not qualified to serve as the prime minister.
"What about Yuan Shuji?" Princess Taiping mentioned another person.
Princess Taiping competed with Li Xian, and she had to rely on Li Dan's strength, otherwise she had no chance of winning at all. Yuan Shuji served as the Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Taiping Duke mainly relied on Li Dan's strength, and this person could not get around.
In order to gain Yuan Shuji's support, Princess Taiping did not hide it, and directly found Yuan Shuji and said her thoughts straight to the point. Yuan Shu already had the idea of letting Li Dan ascend the throne, and the two hit it off, so Yuan Shu has also become Princess Taiping's own person.
"No!" Xie Yunxuan once again rejected Princess Taiping's suggestion, "He still stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the role will be greater." Let him be the prime minister, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
The Great Zhou Forbidden Army consisted of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. The former is stationed in Gongnan, in the hands of Li Dan; The latter is stationed in the palace and is under the jurisdiction of Wu Zetian.
If Yuan Shuji is allowed to be the prime minister, then they will lose control of the Nanya army, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The candidate she proposed was rejected by Xie Yunxuan twice, which made Princess Taiping a little embarrassed, and she asked in an unkind tone: "Then who do you say is suitable?" ”
Xie Yunxuan was confident, and slowly spit out three words: "Zhang Cambodia!" ”
Zhang Cambodia?
When Princess Taiping heard this name, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Is he a little too old?" ”
As a university student when he was young, Zhang Khan Zhi dabbled in a wide range of books on scripture and history.
After three years of vertical arching, the sixty-three-year-old Zhang Khan Zhicai participated in the election of the officials and was awarded the title of Qingyuan County.
Two years later, Wu Zetian made a big move. There are no special requirements for candidates in the system, whether they are white-bodied people or former senior officials, they can participate. Even the current officials can take the exam, as long as they have real talent and real learning.
This year, there are more than 1,000 people who should be promoted, most of them are young students, and only one person who is over 50 years old is Zhang Khan, who is already 65 years old this year.
After the exam, Zhang Cambodia heard that he had fallen into the lower rank, and he was disheartened, so he packed his bags and prepared to return to Xiangyang.
At this time, news came out that Wu Zetian saw that the number of Zhongdi was very small, and he thought that there must be a mistake in it, so he ordered to try again.
Zhang Cambodia took advantage of this east wind to be sentenced to be the first person in the world, the first in the world, and Wu Zetian was awarded the supervision of the imperial history.
On September 9 of the first year of Zaichu, Wu Zetian officially changed the name of the country to Zhou, and took the first year of Zaichu as the first year of Tianzhu. In this year, Zhang Cambodia served as the governor of Jingzhou
Later, Zhang Cambodia entered the dynasty and was awarded the title of Shaoqing, and currently occupies the position of Qiuguan Shilang.
Whether it is qualifications or prestige, Zhang Cambodia is more than enough to be the prime minister. No, Princess Taiping is right, Zhang Cambodia's age is indeed a little old, and he is seventy-eight this year.
"As long as he can get things done, does His Highness care about his age?" Xie Yunxuan asked rhetorically.
Xie Yunxuan is right, as long as she can get things done, Princess Taiping won't care if Zhang Cambodia is seventy or one hundred years old?
"Why would you recommend him?" Princess Taiping asked strangely.
"Zhang Cambodia is very forbearing, and his heart is towards Li Tang!"
"How so?" Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Zhang Cambodia's Jinshi and the second, once served as Xu Wangfu Cangcao to join the army. Xu Wang Sujie's mother, Concubine Xiao Shufei, fought with His Majesty that year and was finally killed, and Sujie was also found to be the assassin of Shenzhou. Su Jie wrote "On Loyalty and Filial Piety" to explain himself, and Zhang Cambodia wrote this article to Gaozong. His Majesty was displeased when he saw it, so he was demoted to the king of Contempt Yang County, placed Yuan Zhou, and Zhang Cambodia also returned to his hometown in Xiangyang. In the first year of Zaichu, King Xu was hanged and died. Zhang Khan Zhi returned to the DPRK as an official, and in this way, twenty years later, the previous events were gradually forgotten. The reason why no one cares about him is because of his forbearance. ”
Xie Yunxuan is as meticulous as a treasure to Zhang Cambodia, and it can be seen that he has worked hard.
"Zhang Cambodia's forbearance is reasonable, but how do you know that his heart is for Li Tang?" Princess Taiping broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"In September of the second year of the Heavenly Grant, Zhang Cambodia's mother Qiu died of illness at home, and he wrote an inscription for his parents' joint burial tomb at home, which said that his mother Qiu 'finally made a private appointment on September 3 of the third year of Yongchang', doesn't His Royal Highness find it intriguing?"
Princess Taiping's heart moved, and she seemed to understand something.
Xie Yunxuan directly revealed the mystery: "In November of the first year of Yongchang, His Majesty officially proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country name to Zhou, and changed the year name to the first year of Tianzhu. Yongchang only took less than a year, it has been changed to the yuan, Yongchang three years is really two years of heaven. Why didn't Zhang Cambodia use the Yongchang era name instead of the book of heaven? To put it bluntly, because Yongchang is the last era name of the Tang Dynasty. In order to pursue Zhengshuo, Zhang Khan used bold actions to show his heart, isn't this his heart to Li Tang? ”
Princess Taiping glanced at Xie Yunxuan and did not speak.
The young man in front of him can be said to be as meticulous as a hair, and such an inconspicuous detail can be paid attention to by him. It is certainly not a pleasant thing to be enemies with such people, but fortunately they are now allies. China
"The most critical point is that only by letting Zhang Cambodia be the prime minister can Yao Chong withdraw willingly!" Xie Yunxuan said eloquently, "Zhang Cambodia's Renhe and Shu Erzhou Assassin History, the environment is extremely difficult. After that, he returned to the capital again because of Di Renjie. The reason why he was able to serve as an autumn official was also recommended by Di Renjie. From this point of view, Zhang Cambodia is also a student of Di Renjie, and he is the prime minister, at least Yao Chong will not reject it! ”
Although Zhang Cambodia is older than Di Renjie, the teacher-student relationship between officials in the DPRK and China, regardless of age, is generally not the same as the age, and the teacher-student relationship formed between Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia when he recommended it to the emperor has nothing to do with the individual's seniority and prestige in the imperial court.
Xie Yunxuan, who should have thought about it, thought of it all, Princess Taiping had nothing to say, so she had to do what he wanted.
After Xie Yunxuan left, Princess Taiping asked people to invite Li Chongrun again.
In just a few days, Li Chongrun seemed to have changed as a person. His face is pale, his eye sockets are deep, his originally bright eyes are a little loose at this time, and his hair is a little messy, how can he still have the original chic appearance.
Maybe Li Chongrun has one kind or another problem, but he is definitely a seed of infatuation. In this regard, he is better than Wu Yanxiu.
Because of Pei Huan's sudden disappearance, Li Chongrun doesn't know how he came over these days.
At first, Li Chongrun just thought that Pei Huan was deliberately avoiding him, but slowly he found that something was wrong, and Pei Huan never appeared again.
He went crazy looking for Pei Huan, but the result was frustrating. Pei Huan completely disappeared from this world like a ghost, as if he had never appeared
When this reality was in front of him, Li Chongrun felt like someone punched him in the guts, leaving him with a very serious injury, and then falling into a bottomless abyss.
Grief can be expressed in countless forms, but there is only one way to feel: pain.
The current Li Chongrun is like a walking corpse.
Seeing Li Chongrun's scene, Princess Taiping couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him. Back then, she also had the same experience as Li Chongrun.
Her husband Xue Shao's eldest brother Xue Yi participated in the rebellion of Li Chong of the Tang Sect, and Wu Zetian ordered Xue Yi to be executed, which implicated Xue Shao.
Xue Shaogang was arrested and imprisoned, and the evidence of rebellion was insufficient, so Princess Taiping ran around for it, after all, they were married and married.
She went to cry in front of Wu Zetian, and asked Wu Zetian to let Xue Shao go. However, Wu Zetian did not let Xue Shao go because of this, but beat Xue Shao with a hundred sticks and then locked him in prison without anyone visiting, and finally starved to death.
At that time, Princess Taiping's fourth child had just reached the full moon, and she was very sad, and the despair during that time was similar to the current Li Chongrun.
Sympathy is sympathy, but what to do Princess Taiping can still carry clearly.
She cleared her throat and said, "Brother Run, I heard about Pei Huan's disappearance, since it happened, you better cheer up!" ”
Li Chongrun nodded blankly and shook his head again.
The most painful thing is often not the misfortune of life, but the dashing of hope; The most desperate thing is often not the blow of frustration, but the death of the soul.
Such a decadent Li Chongrun is not what Princess Taiping wants to see, she still wants to use Li Chongrun to achieve her own goals, how can she go on like this?
She was ruthless, and said in an unusually cold voice: "Brother Run, Pei Huan, don't look for it, you can't find it, just act as if nothing happened!" ”
Li Chongrun looked at Princess Taiping fiercely: "Auntie, what do you mean by this, do you know where Pei Huan is!" ”
"If I'm wrong, Pei Huan is probably no longer in this world!" Princess Taiping said lightly, "Back then, Wu Youji's wife was the same as Pei Huan, but suddenly the news never appeared again, and then I married Wu Youji and became his new wife!" ”
Li Chongrun's face was shocked, and his voice became trembling: "Auntie, you mean to say that Pei Huan has ...... her."
"Your Majesty promised Wu Sansi's daughter Wu Ling to you, but you resolutely did not want to marry Wu Ling, if your Majesty had a temper in the past, he would definitely not let you go. However, because of her father, she tolerated you! Speaking of this, Princess Taiping looked directly at Li Chongrun, "But Pei Huan is different, she must die, only in this way can the daughter of the Wu clan marry you as a princess." ”
"But......" Li Chongrun said in a panic, "how could Your Majesty know about Pei Huan?" ”
Princess Taiping smiled: "You underestimate Your Majesty too much, there is a Junchen here, what else can you hide from her?" ”
Li Chongrun was stunned, although he didn't want to believe Princess Taiping's analysis, the only shred of reason told him that this was indeed the truth.
It is no wonder that when Li Chongrun went to report to the official, the official who took the case was hesitant and secretive. No wonder when Li Chongrun asked Pei Huan's father, Pei Cui, about the situation, Pei Cui didn't say anything with a sad face, just urged him to leave quickly.
Obviously, everyone understands why Pei Huan disappeared, only Li Chongrun himself doesn't know.
It turned out that he killed Pei Huan, Li Chongrun was sad from his heart, and couldn't help crying loudly.
