Chapter 182: Old Cheng Holds Weight
"Nothing to do? It's a joke, who was born with the qualifications to be an official? If you are not an official, where is the capital to be an official? In the vertical arch hall of the Song Palace, He Zhizhong stepped forward and argued with Zhang Dian.
"To be an official, you have to start from a lower official, why did you sit in such a high position all of a sudden? Sitting in such a high position at the age of 20 doesn't it chill the hearts of officials in the world? Zhang Dian still refused to bow his head and argued with He Zhizhong.
At this time, Zhang Dian was almost alone, no one attached to him, it was completely different from the past, which made Zhang Dian extremely angry in his heart, angry and cold, why is this? So far, Zhang Dian is still above the phase, but the person who was submissive to himself a few days ago actually dares to come out and argue with himself?
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was in an extremely hateful and disgusted mood at this time, not that Zhao Ji was for Li Sanjian, at this time, Zhao Ji felt a little too much about the profession of Li Sanjian, who was awarded the official Li Sanjian's right to know Kaifeng Mansion.
Li Sanjian's affair was just an introduction, which aroused Zhao Ji's anger against Zhang Dun's opposition to his succession.
Zhao Ji was angry in his heart that he had no grievances with Zhang Dian, why did Zhang Dian oppose his succession so strongly? At this moment, he was making a lot of noise in the court, and insinuated that Zhao Ji was a slacker person.
However, Zhao Ji had no way to take Zhang Dun at this moment.
Zhao Ji has just sat on the throne, and it is impossible to immediately take down the old ministers of Zhao Xuchao who are not dealing with him, let alone the dignified prime minister, if so, he will definitely be criticized by the world, and Zhao Ji will be criticized for being a person with a small belly and a chicken intestine and a person who will be revenged.
At the same time, the deposition of a prime minister must have an upright reason, and it must be convincing in order to do so.
The most important thing is to "listen to the government" to the Queen Mother at this time, so that Zhao Ji is not just the final say in deposing a prime minister.
The "official family" at this time, the queen mother who was sitting behind the bead curtain finally spoke: "The law of the ancestors cannot be violated, since the Taizu Dynasty, there has never been such a young person sitting in such a high position, and this person's official position is not suitable, the mourning family thinks that the official family should still consider this matter carefully." ”
Although the Jilu official does not necessarily have to match his actual dispatch, but Cheng Yilang is a Jilu official from the seventh grade, and it is indeed not appropriate to give Li Sanjian the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, and it is indeed a little far away.
"That's what the mother said." Zhao Ji nodded again and again when he heard this.
Since the Queen Mother has spoken, the matter has to be stopped, but in the end, Li Sanjian has been determined to be the champion of Gengchenke, since Li Sanjian cannot be awarded the official position of Kaifeng Prefecture, then it must be changed to others.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty, the minister has a play." At this time, Zeng Bu went out of the class.
"If you have something to say, please speak." Zhao Ji nodded when he heard this.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty, Weichen recommends Doctor Tongyi, Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, Lu Changheng has the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, and Li Sanjian, the champion of the new department, can be removed from the Kaifeng Mansion Jiedu Governor." Zeng Bu held the wat and said.
As soon as Zeng Bu said this, he nodded secretly to the Queen Mother, Zhao Ji and the ministers.
However, when Xiang Xiang and Zhao Ji secretly praised Zeng Bu for being serious, all the ministers scolded Zeng Bu for being a sycophant.
Who is Lu Changheng? Jinshi was born, once served as the secretary of the Duanwang Mansion, he is almost seventy years old this year, and he is old and faint, but Lu Changheng has an in-law relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiang's maiden family in addition to serving as the secretary of the Duanwang Mansion, so it can be said that he is the person of the Empress Dowager Xiang.
At this time, Zeng Bu recommended Lu Changheng and the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion to take care of the Empress Dowager Xiang and the new Emperor Zhao
At the same time, Lu Changheng is old and faint, and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, who has so many miscellaneous affairs, will inevitably rely on his officials.
The judge of Kaifeng Mansion is the prefect's Zuo Er, Zeng Bu recommended Li Sanjian to serve as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, which made Li Sanjian one of the four judges that Lu Changheng needs to rely on, and he will definitely be reused, and at the same time, Zhao Ji's henchmen and ministers will be arranged in key positions.
The most surprising thing is that Zeng Bu's recommendation looks very ordinary on the surface, not to mention that the new champion can get this official position, even ordinary Jinshi and the first may also get this official position.
Zeng Bu's recommendation took care of people from all walks of life, and naturally it was quickly passed, and then it was the official position arrangement of Bangyan, Tanhua, and more than 300 new science and technology scholars.
After that, things are logical.
。。。。。。。。
"Dirty, dirty!" After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Ji refused to leave the vertical arch hall for a long time, and said after wiping the imperial case hard.
Only Zhao Ji and several attendants were left in the splendid and huge vertical arch hall, which looked extremely deserted and empty.
Liang Shicheng and several other chamberlains hurriedly looked at the imperial case when they heard this, only to see where was the dust in the imperial case? The case was wiped clean, like a mirror, so bright that it could reflect the figure of a person, and even flies and other mosquitoes could not stand.
But the emperor Zhao Ji suddenly said this at this time, there must be other meanings, Liang Shicheng combined with what happened in the Vertical Arch Hall today, how could he not guess who Zhao Ji was referring to?
So Liang Shicheng whispered to Zhao Ji: "Don't worry about the officials, the slaves and maids have a way." ”
"Oh? What can you do? Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng and asked in surprise.
Zhao Ji's heart was irritable, mainly due to two reasons, the first reason was, of course, that when the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhang Dan, Zhao Ji couldn't find a reason to remove Zhang Dun. The second reason is to the Queen Mother.
All affairs in the court and the central government need to go through the Empress Dowager Xiang, and they must get the approval of the Empress Dowager Xiang, what is the meaning of this emperor doing it? Sometimes it's not as easy as when you were the king of the county.
"Official, mountain envoy." Liang Shicheng replied softly.
"Mountain Envoy?" Zhao Ji muttered to himself.
What is a mountain envoy? That is, the emperor or an important person in the palace died, and his burial place was called the mountain mausoleum, and the minister in charge of the funeral was called the mountain mausoleum envoy.
Generally speaking, there are five ministers in charge of funeral affairs, namely the mountain envoy, the ceremonial envoy, the honor guard envoy, the Lu book envoy and the bridge Daodun envoy, called the "five envoys", of which the mountain envoy is always responsible for the funeral, generally speaking, the prime minister is concurrent.
The funeral in the palace is not allowed to be sloppy, and there can be no accidents, so the mountain mausoleum makes a heavy responsibility, and everything must be done in person, and it is trembling and walking on thin ice.
After the mountain is finished, the mountain envoy will be rewarded, or the official will be promoted, or the money and goods will be given, at least the emperor will give condolences.
But there must be a premise for these, that is, the affairs of the mountains must be smooth and smooth, and they must be done properly.
If anything goes wrong in the matter of the mountain tomb, then the mountain envoy is not the mountain envoy, but is called a "fierce appearance".
The mountain envoy is set up for the funeral, which itself is a "fierce appearance", but the "fierce appearance" mainly refers to the unpredictable affairs of the mountain mausoleum, and there can be no half-point difference.
At the same time, the Song people believed that the mountain envoy was extremely unlucky, and if the matter of the mountain was completed, and the minister who served as the mountain envoy did not resign, it would bring a bad omen to the current emperor.
Hence the center
Ministers, especially the rulers and governors, no one wants to be a mountain envoy, and it is a completely thankless official position, and if they are not careful, they will be ruined.
The matter of the mountain tomb is over perfectly, you have to resign, otherwise once the emperor has something to do, he will blame the mountain envoy, at least it will give the imperial historians a reason for impeachment.
If the matter of the mountains is slightly worse, the mountain envoys will of course be punished, and at this time the dismissal is light, and it is generally exiled for 3,000 miles, throwing you to a deserted place to "enjoy" the scenery of nature.
I have to say that Liang Shicheng's plan is extremely vicious, so vicious that people can't get rid of it.
"Deliver the decree, and the edict will be sent into the palace." Zhao Ji thought about it for a long time and said to Liang Shicheng.
The dismissal of a prime minister of the current dynasty cannot only listen to the words of a eunuch, but must be carefully considered and there must be no omission.
Zhao Ji has just sat on the throne for more than two months, and he is still young, he knows nothing about the affairs of the court, and at the same time, he cannot fully control the ministers.
Zhao Ji is very sober about this.
At this time, you need to learn by asking questions and learning how to govern the country, and at present, the best teacher is Zeng Bu.
Zeng Bu is a serious man, and he is an old minister of Yingzong, Shenzong, and Zhao Xu, and at the same time he has the ability to make decisions, so the first thing Zhao Ji thought of was Zeng Bu.
。。。。。。。。
"Officials, rule by inaction." When Zhao Ji asked, Zeng Bu said calmly: "I do nothing, and the people are self-reliant; I am so quiet, and the people are upright; I have nothing to do, and the people are rich; I have no desire, but the people are simple. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, lightly dismissed the meager endowment, swept away the troubles, and rested with the people, and there was a 'rule of Wenjing', the world was prosperous, and the peace was rich. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded again and again: "Where does Qing think the key to inaction is the key?" ”
"The official family lies in the people, and the official family uses people properly, that is, the result is twice the result with half the effort." Zeng Bu replied.
"Well, what does Qing think of Huang Lu?" Zhao Ji asked again.
Zeng Bu was secretly happy when he heard this.
Who is Huang Lu? In the first year of Jiayou, he was good at the prime ministers, Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, and successively impeached Sima Guang to abolish the new Xining law, and reprimanded Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Liang Tao and other Yuanyou party members.
Later, Zhang Dian asked the noble concubine Liu to be the queen, and the official Zou Hao wrote against it, and Zou Hao was then deposed by Zhang Xuan, and Huang Lu was upset for Zou Hao, and was demoted to play in Mizhou.
In the final analysis, this matter is the result of a struggle for power.
At this time, Zhao Ji suddenly asked about Huang Shoes, and he had the meaning of reviving Huang Shoes, and recovering Huang Shoes, of course, had the meaning of degrading Zhang Xuan, and Zeng Bu was secretly happy because of this.
It seems that His Majesty really wants to get rid of Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu said secretly in his heart.
"Official, Huang Lu was deposed for Zou Hao's affairs." Zeng Bu then replied.
"Zou Hao? How is Zou Hao? Zhao Ji asked again.
"Loyal and impartial, not favoritism, Zhang Dian is alone, abusive and shocking, every time Hao touches the taboo, he is still impeached in the chapter, counting his disloyalty and encroachment." Zeng Bu replied.
"Zhangdun ... Zhangdun ... Zhao Ji muttered to himself when he heard this.
"Official, the minister wants to tell the truth, and the minister begs His Majesty to forgive the minister's sins." Zeng Bu then said.
"If you have something to say, please speak." Zhao Ji said gently.
。。。。。。。
A few months later, Zhao Ji issued an order to recall Huang Lu and Zou Hao, and at the same time, Zhao Ji reinstated Han Zhongyan, the son of Han Qi, the famous minister of the Song Dynasty.
This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
