Chapter 36: Interlude...... The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War robbed people
Chang Hao's matter is not completely over, and there is a small follow-up episode. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chang Yuankai learned that his son had been bullied, thinking that He Zhizhang, a small man from Liupin, dared to bully him, a big man with real power in Zhengsanpin, and he had to find justice in face no matter what.
And the results of the imperial examination also annoyed Cui Xiang, who helped Chang Hao answer.
Cui Xiang was born in the world's first wealthy family...... The Cui family, the Cui family has a reputation from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and the people have looked at each other one after another, and there is no one else. The children of the Cui clan are proud to be in such a wealthy family. In the eyes of the Cui family's children, the glory of the Cui family even surpasses that of the royal family. After all, even since the beginning of history, the longest Zhou of national fortune is only 800 years, but the prosperity of the Cui family is more than 1,000 years. In the past thousand years, there have been more than 30 people in the Cui family, and more than 400 officials in the government and the opposition above the fifth grade, which can be a momentary prosperity, so the surname Cui is also known as the "surname of the prime minister". There is even a saying among the folk that "the ugly girl of the Cui family is not worried about marrying, but the royal princess is worried about marrying", which shows that the Cui family is famous.
As the prime minister of the current dynasty, Cui Xiang is the most prominent person in the Cui family today, and he has pride beyond ordinary people.
Since he responded to Chang Yuankai's request, Cui Xiang went to the champion. In addition to poetry, he also made answers to the two subjects of scripture and history and strategy while reading ancient books while referring to examples. As a result, when the results came out, he didn't even make the list, Cui Xiang only felt that his face was hurting.
Chang Yuankai was impeached and sued He Zhizhang in front of Li Dan.
Cui Xiang mobilized his henchmen and launched an offensive against He Zhizhang, saying that he was favoritism in the imperial examination.
In the face of doubts, He Zhizhang had a clear conscience, and directly called up two volumes to confront the ministers in the court.
Pei Min's "Jin Se" shocked the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty, even the Emperor Li Dan also read in his mouth: "This situation can be recalled, but it was already lost at that time." Good poems, good sentences! Just by virtue of this poem, Pei Min's talent can be seen in general, and the name of the champion is well deserved. ”
But what really caused a huge repercussion was the method of harnessing the water and washing the sand of the Yellow River, and Tao Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was a lot older, and he bowed with tears of excitement and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister will immediately follow Pei Min's proposal to send people to survey the terrain and prepare to build a dam with stones, and timber to bundle water and sand to avoid floods in the coming year." Pei Min is talented, and I can adjust my Ministry of Engineering to listen to it. ”
Emperor Li Dan said movingly: "According to what Aiqing said, Pei Min's method of washing sand with this bundle of water is feasible?" ”
Tao Yan said with great certainty: "It is feasible!" Whimsy, every word. ”
Tao Yan was able to achieve the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Works, relying on his achievements in water conservancy. After the pre-Qin period, Yunmengze in Jingxiang gradually disintegrated, and the relationship between rivers and lakes changed, affecting the evolution of Dongting Lake. Since the Han and Jin dynasties, the population of the Yangtze River basin has gradually increased, the intensity of reclamation activities has increased, the natural vegetation has been seriously damaged, and the sediment content of the Yangtze River has begun to increase. By the Tang Dynasty, the water level in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River had risen above the warning point, which seriously threatened the livelihood of the people of the Jingxiang generation. Because of this, the flood in Jingxiang was rampant, and Tao Yan Jingxiang suffered from the flood, and in order to control the flood, he worked hard and painstakingly to achieve remarkable results. During the Wu Zetian period, the Yellow River burst its embankment and suffered heavy losses. The famous minister Di Renjie transferred Tao Yan to the court and served as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Water, responsible for the management of the Yellow River. After investigation, he also found that the control of the Yellow River focused on sand control, and carried out the dredging operation of the Yellow River, which achieved great results, so he was promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Industry and became the second in command of the Ministry of Industry.
Li Dan glanced at Tao Yan deeply, knowing his authority on water conservancy, and was about to agree.
Guo Yuanzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Pei Min pointed out the shortcomings of our current government soldiers in his consultation with the border troubles, and his foresight is extraordinary. As he said, the country cannot threaten the four provinces without strong troops, and if the four countries are not afraid, the border troubles will not stop...... Such a talent, used in the Ministry of Industry, is overkill, if it is not transferred to our military department, the minister will be of great use. ”
Tao Yan was angry, glared at Guo Yuanzhen angrily and said, "What does Guo Shangshu mean by this?" ”
Guo Yuanzhen pouted his head and said: "What is the point of seeking talents for the country." ”
Tao Yan said angrily: "It is a talent discovered by our Ministry of Industry, what is your Ministry of War mixed in?" ”
Guo Yuanzhen replied not to be outdone: "What did you find out about the Ministry of Industry, as early as ten days ago, Xue Dudu mentioned to me that this Pei Min came, saying that he was a talent, and he had a share of credit for being able to recapture Liaodong and Liaoxi." I just don't know where he is, I don't have a letter, and I've been frozen. You're just talking fast, just one step ahead of me. ”
"You ......" Before Tao Yan's words could be spoken, Li Dan interrupted with a headache: "This matter is put on hold, so I won't mention it for the time being." Pei Min is talented, but according to the regulations, he still needs to go through the re-examination of the officials before he can determine where to go. The two families should not fight, so as not to hurt the harmony. ”
Tao Yan and Guo Yuanzhen didn't dare to say much, and glared at each other.
Li Dan clapped his hands and said: "Pei Min is talented, I don't think there is any need to talk about it." The champion is well deserved. As for Chang Hao, he was careless, he really shouldn't have it, he should be punished, but if he was disqualified, was the punishment too heavy? It can also be seen from his answer sheet that this person's talent is no less than Pei Min. Especially in the question of border troubles, compared with Pei Min's radicalism, Chang Hao's steadiness and heaviness won my heart. ”
Although Li Longji is the emperor, as long as the emperor Li Dan is in the dynasty, he is still on the left side of the throne like the prince in the past......
Thinking of Li Dan's attitude recently, Li Longji didn't plan to disobey him in this matter, but said in his heart: If I hold the power, those old-fashioned rules and regulations will be abolished......
He Zhizhang saw that Li Dan still intended to give Chang Hao a big position, and he didn't want to let a waste material enter the top three during his tenure and ruin his reputation. I was about to argue, but I heard Li Longji say: "Father, the emperor ......" He glanced at Chang Yuankai, who was excited, and said with a light smile: "Erchen has an idea here, Zhigongju has canceled Chang Hao's qualification for this examination paper, and it is really inappropriate to let him withdraw his fate." But the meaning of the imperial examination is to select talents, and missing talents is also a loss for my Datang. It's better to be gracious and powerful, the punishment is not changed, and the extra grace is added. The child will do the work for him, and two other questions will be re-assessed by Chang Hao, and if he passes, he will be on the list. If he doesn't play well, he can only blame himself for not learning well. ”
Chang Yuankai's expression changed greatly, and he couldn't imagine that Li Longji would actually take him into an army at this critical time.
He Zhizhang was overjoyed and said: "The minister reconsiders." ”
Where did Chang Yuankai dare to let Chang Hao retake the exam, and took the initiative to give up this opportunity.
Therefore, the champion and the first candidate arrived: the champion Pei Min, Bangyan Lu Ze, Tanhua Feng Zhi, and there was a court contribution, and on March 3, Qujiang set up a banquet!
In this episode, Pei Min not only confirmed the name of the champion, but his fame also officially spread among the government and the opposition......
