0702 Ministers, cherished by the public
The reason why Shaanxi Dao Daxingtai was set up is that King Yong is indeed a great meritorious, and he supports Sheji internally, and thwarts the enemy outside, and the second is that the imperial court has not been established for a long time and does not have enough control over the world, and the third is that Shaanxi's border affairs are indeed in danger, and it also needs a dedicated regulation and control of attack and defense.
Of these three reasons, the first is the least important, and the second is the focus.
If the imperial court really has enough control over the internal and external situation, nothing else will be a problem. No matter how great King Yong is, he can raise him in Durong, if he is really resentful and complains, then kill him directly.
Even if Shaanxi's border affairs are in danger, the imperial court can choose other talents, and there is no need to make a sensitive son of the clan like King Paiyong dictate Shaanxi.
Therefore, the root cause of everything lies in the complexity and chaos of the court, and the serious lack of prestige of the emperor, which has caused this situation of internal and external difficulties and great difficulty in controlling the situation. Strengthening the authority of the imperial court and enhancing the personal prestige of the emperor was also the fundamental solution to all problems.
Previously, Emperor Li Dan was trapped in the current complicated situation and took a lot of detours. Among them, what he regretted the most was that he listened to the old minister's clichéd words, gave priority to recuperation, and did not pay enough attention to the border military affairs, so that now everyone who talks about military affairs between the government and the opposition will push King Yong, as if the safety of the Tang family is related to King Yong.
This time in Xijing's collection turmoil, the reason why King Yongwang was able to unscrupulously clamor the people's sentiment is also because of his confidence. Compared with the fruitful results of the border war in Xingtai, the imperial court is indeed lackluster in this regard.
The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong. Since Li Dan ascended the throne, he has not entered the west to worship the ancestral tomb, and every time he thinks of this festival, his heart is very empty. If the major events of the conquest come out of the stage again, then what else can he, the emperor, manage?
Therefore, at the moment, the imperial court also needs to make a long plan on side affairs and come up with a brilliant record as soon as possible, which is also a top priority.
When he thought of this, Li Dan couldn't help but glance at Xue Ji, and there was a hidden dissatisfaction in his heart. Such a national plan? It should have been proposed by the Prime Minister? Even if the king is not in a moment of thought, he should remind him to ask questions.
He was not unkind to Xue Ji, and he pulled him into the political hall at the beginning of the dynasty. But in the past two years? Xue Ji has almost nothing to do in the political hall? Don't say anything about the benefits of the country? Even if he speaks in the political hall as the mouthpiece of the emperor, the voice is not loud enough? So much so that many things need to be done by Li Dan himself.
Proven out? Although Xue Ji has a little talent for words? But it is really unworthy of the minister's choice.
But even if you are dissatisfied? Li Dan was also a little helpless. Wang Xiaojie's incident has made him dare not rashly enter the ministers he is not familiar with into the political affairs hall, and among the people he knows and can trust enough, there are few who can be in this position.
The last dozen years of solitary lockdown? made him extremely unfamiliar with the world, and he was at a loss in terms of selecting and employing people.
The people he is close to are nothing more than some relatives? But these relatives? Not all of them are of the same mind as him. Before there was Doulu Qinwang? Later, there was Wang Meichang, all of which brought him great disappointment.
However, after Dou Xiaochen, the father-in-law, returned to the capital, all kinds of voice expressions made Li Dan feel very pleased. He originally planned to keep Dou Xiaochen in Duji, and even find an opportunity to arrange for him to enter the political hall. But after some weighing, I still felt that there was something wrong with this.
After all, Dou Xiaochen's identity is unusual, once the authority in the center is too strong? That influence will not be limited to foreign dynasties, and it is likely to interfere with his family relationships, such as the issue of heirship.
Originally, in Li Dan's opinion, this matter was not a problem at all, he is only in his thirties now, his sons are young, his own big position and politics have not been straightened out, and it is too early to consider the issue of heirship. What's more, the eldest son has already come out, and he has already taken the position of the Spring Palace in the old years, even if he wants to consider it, it is also a natural choice.
But it turns out that Li Dan still thinks about people's mood and situation too simply, since he is on the verge of a great position, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and under the attention of the masses, many problems will become complicated.
Li Dan treated their relatives well, but they were all scheming and regarded the emperor's family as the object of claiming merit and power. This is most obvious in Wang Meichang.
Wang Meichang's stay in Xijing has already made Li Dan quite embarrassed. He originally expected Wang Meichang to stay on the stage, probably to help the court on some issues, but it turned out that he thought too much.
Previously, in the Jade Fall Palace of Concubine Wang De, Li Dan endured his grief and invited Wang Meichang to return to the court, but Wang Meichang refused again on the grounds that he had no father in the world to serve his son. Li Dan knew that Wang Meichang was dissatisfied with the huge gap between the court's treatment of him and Dou Xiaochen's name, but his attitude also made Li Dan completely dead to him.
Because of Wang Meichang, Li Dan originally planned to chase Concubine De to be buried as a concubine, but he had to give up, and even had a hidden dislike for the young son Longye.
These relatives have complicated plans one by one, which has affected the family relationship of their own family. In view of this, Li Dan did not dare to keep Dou Xiaochen in the court any longer, but gave him a side matter that was also very important in his opinion.
However, after hearing this, Dou Xiaochen's face changed abruptly, and after a while, he directly fell to the ground and said sadly: "The ministers are indecent, chaotic and incompetent, imprisoned, pinching their fingers and waiting to die. Fortunately, under the protection of the emperor's grace, he has a period of return. The old and sick body, the life of the world, endure the pain of the separation of flesh and blood, and feel that life is worse than death......"
Dou Xiaochen was naturally reluctant to take up a foreign post, not to mention that he was looking for an opportunity to fight with the Turks when he heard that the emperor meant, and his mood was naturally even more panicked.
The soldiers are fierce, who can say that they will win? If you win, you will be gratifying, but if you lose, you will be ruined, and you will even be in danger of losing war. How can it be compared to being in the center and advecting forward.
Now seeing that the emperor has a great plan for the military state, and he has a great opportunity to stay in Duji, whether he is in charge of the forbidden army or seeking to dominate the army, he is naturally very unhappy to go to the land of the murderous army at this time.
Dou Xiaochen knew that the emperor was soft-hearted, and in order to avoid this fateful errand, even the children who died were used to intercede.
Li Dan saw Dou Xiaochen's old tears, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. But Dou Xiaochen didn't mention the dead children, and when he said this, it strengthened Li Dan's mind.
"Since I deeply remember the involuntary sorrow of life and death in the past, we must grasp this short-term calmness even more! In previous years, there may still be room for self-retreat, but now there are troubles of national conditions inside, and the intimidation of the sons of the clan outside. ”
Li Dan slowly walked down the hall, personally helped Dou Xiaochen and said: "In ancient times, it was not easy to achieve things, but it was always man-made. In the old years, Tubo was famous and intimidating, if it weren't for the cautious child who argued with Qinghai, could he know that the thief was strong and vulnerable? Now that the Turks have also changed the old and the new, silently standing on their feet, and the people's hearts are not attached, the first brigade of Shaanxi can still be defeated before, and the power is even more lost, which is really not to be feared. ”
"The father-in-law is here, and he is not used as a battle array, but in preparing for the military of the states, and asking the Dongyi tribes, sending his capable soldiers, and raising his loyal and brave men. In the coming year, those who have made meritorious contributions in the border will all be out of the door, which is also a deed worth boasting about! Moreover, now the border affairs can be called a big difficulty, and the Shaanxi Province should be in charge, and the power of the Korean sergeant and material is used, and only this party will not lose assistance inside, and it will be widely deployed outside. ”
Hearing the emperor say this, Dou Xiaochen knew that this trip should be inevitable, so he could only wipe a handful of tears and listen respectfully. Seeing this, Xue Ji, who was standing on the side, sighed secretly in his heart, but he also knew that the emperor kept him here, not to let him express any opinions, but to submit such an appointment to the political hall through him.
Di Renjie went to Ouchi and asked not to see him, so he could only record the matter in the political affairs hall. However, until the morning of the next day, he did not receive a summons from the emperor, and he naturally understood in his heart that the emperor did not plan to discuss it at this time, and his mood was naturally not good.
Even if he felt that this matter was inappropriate, this kind of matter was not suitable for the prime minister to speak out and discuss in the court, and few ministers discussed this matter in the early court, which made Di Renjie's heart even more blocked.
The fact that the ministers turned a blind eye to this matter did not mean that the matter was a foregone conclusion and that there was no room or need for further discussion, but only that the focus of the ministers was still on personnel adjustments, and they were unwilling to make any voices that were clearly contrary to the emperor's will under such circumstances.
After leaving Zhongshu Province, Di Renjie's focus was mainly on the government affairs of Shangshudu Province, and he would only go to the political affairs hall except on the day of the official day, only when he was notified by the envoy of major issues.
Today, Di Renjie was not in Zhizhi, and after he retreated from the court, there was no envoy to inform him to go to the political affairs hall, so he returned to Dongcheng Shangshu Province. Not long after returning to the hall, it happened that Tian Guidao, the Taichang Shaoqing, entered the province to perform the matter, and when he saw Di Renjie sitting in the hall, Tian Guidao had no shortage of doubts and said: "Why is Xianggong still in the hall?" The ban on the secretary of the palace to discuss the ......"
When Di Renjie heard this, his brows furrowed. And Tian Guidao also noticed that there was something wrong with this matter, so he changed the topic in embarrassment, and left Shangshu Province in a hurry after finishing his own affairs.
After sending Tian Guidao away, Di Renjie returned to the hall and sat upright, silent for a long time, and then instructed the officials to present paper and pencils, and write his resignation on the desk.
However, before he finished writing this list, someone came from the outer hall, and the officials said that it was the right Jin Wuwei general Quan Shancai who asked to see him. Di Renjie's thinking was chaotic, and he didn't know what to say when he picked up the pen, so he put down the pen after hearing the words, and went down to the corridor to welcome the power and good talents.
"Today's political affairs meeting, why is the minister not hesitating? The sage sued above the three grades of the court, and the pastors of each party were selected and awarded to the states, and the end would be recommended by Xue Shilang, and he would be the assassin of Zhaozhou. Dou Sancai, the Duke of Xinguo, became the governor of Youzhou and led the Dongyi to protect ......"
Quan Shancai walked over, and after seeing Di Renjie, he looked a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, Di Renjie had no reason not to know about such a big move in personnel transfer, but he didn't inform him in advance, which caught him off guard.
Hearing Quan Shancai's words, the corners of Di Renjie's mouth trembled slightly, and after a while, he said in a low tone: "I really don't know about this matter......
Quan Shancai was walking towards the yatang, and after hearing the words, his footsteps stopped, and he opened his mouth to speak, but after a while, he still turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he stopped, turned around and hugged his fist at Di Renjie and said: "Xianggong, please cherish!" ”
Di Renjie stood under the corridor, watched Quan Shancai leave, and then returned to the hall to sit down, looking at the half-written resignation sheet in a daze, after a long time, silently raised his hand to tear the resignation to pieces, and then made a statement, raised his hand and instructed the clerk to take the household registration file and send it into the hall, and read it on the desk.
