Chapter 109: Yan Shu's Chance Has Come?

March Wuyin, the tribute of the Ministry of Imperial Rites.

After Wang Anshi tried his best to resist unsuccessfully, his washed lips were red and his teeth were white, and he turned them into pink and tender little fresh meat, and endured the itching all over his body to participate in the palace examination.

The three essays are well done, long live praise. When asked about poetry, it is also very new.

Shangyue, give the first place.

Zhao Zhen, a guy with a bad mentality, even said in front of Fang Zhongyong: "Although Wang Aiqing has never been ranked six yuan, his talent for governing the country is still not weaker than Fang Zhongyong." From now on, it can also give Sister Ling more to rely on. ”

Thanks to Wang Lingwei's deep understanding of righteousness, she did not fall for the discord of the class enemy. Otherwise, Fang Zhongyong would probably be restless.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Fang Zhongyong's benefactor Wang Zeng, because he adhered to the principles in the provincial examination in the first year of Jingyou, named Fang Zhongyong as the provincial yuan, hated Zhang Yaozuo, and was demoted from Beijing.

From the prime minister in the Heavenly Saint years to the state officials in the poor countryside, it is a person who can't adapt to it. Especially seeing his former deputy Lu Yi Jianshou quite prosperous, not to mention how depressed he was.

Write directly to Lu Yijian and beg him to take care of one or two? I can't pull the sub.

Wang Zeng wrote a letter to his old friend Song Shou and inquired about the news.

On this day, Song Shou came to visit Lu Yijian and told Wang Zeng's thoughts.

Lu Yijian also felt that it was convenient for an acquaintance to do things, so he readily agreed. But rashly reinstated that the king had participated in political affairs, and Lu Yijian did not have that ability. He abdicated to make way for Xian, but he didn't have that awareness.

coincided with the vacancy of the Privy Council, and Lu Yijian played Zhao Zhen and filled Wang Zeng. Wang Zeng returned to the capital in a low-key manner.

The second prime minister, Li Di, was born in poverty, and he was very unhappy with Lu Yijian's son-in-law's style.

He even criticized Lu Yijian's cronyism and self-serving practices, which is a bit of Fan Zhongyan's flavor.

At the same time, Li Di was the champion of Song Zhenzong Jingde in the second year, and he ridiculed Lu Yijian's lack of learning and unskillful in private.

Lu Yijian is also enough for this stubborn poor acid, and he is very annoyed.

Once two people don't like each other, then whatever the other person does is wrong. Even if he says the sun is round, you can find 10,000 reasons to refute it.

Fortunately, the two bigwigs are both people with ID cards, and they did not scold the street or even scuffle like street hooligans.

But Lu Yijian was already determined to get rid of this thorn in the eye and in the flesh. The resumption of Wang Zeng, firstly, is not to wipe face, and secondly, it is also to prepare for the replacement of Li Di.

Soon, LΓΌ Yijian launched an offensive and instructed his henchmen to attack Li Di for his lawlessness. The local minions also assisted with some things that caught the wind and shadows.

The so-called three people become tigers, and all mouths are gold.

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Di was so unpopular, for the sake of the river crab and the stability and prosperity of the country, he dismissed Li Di as the secretary of the criminal department, knew Bozhou, and later changed to the governor of Xiangzhou.

After the holy decree was issued, Zhao Zhen felt unbearable again, so he was reappointed as a scholar of the Senior Administration Hall and a bachelor of Hanlin Attendant, and remained as a teacher in Beijing.

Song Shou saw that the time was ripe, and the acting king went to Lu Yijian's mansion to test it.

Lu Yijian said: "You and Brother Xiaoxian have been old friends for many years, and they have a deep friendship. If you have the opportunity to be promoted, you still have to do your friend's duty! ”

Lu Yijian said very boldly: "When Brother Xiao was the prime minister, he took care of a certain person. Is it the one who doesn't know what to do? Just rest assured. ”

Song Shou knew that Lu Yijian was stubborn, worried that he would not be able to tolerate people, and persuaded him: "The prince is old and strong, and his personality is strong, so please take care of the Ming Duke more." It seems that today, the prince should have come to thank him, but he ......"

Lu Yijian laughed and said, "Gong Chui is too underestimated by a certain family!" Rest assured! ”

There is nothing more embarrassing in the world than a former subordinate becoming his boss.

After Lu Yijian pretended to make a resignation and failed to establish Wang Zeng as the prime minister, Wang Zeng, the vice minister, began to work in the political hall.

Retired veteran cadres are the most difficult to serve. Because they are immersed in the glory of the past, they put old qualifications at every turn.

When the prime minister is in place, the princes of the government hall must stand up and salute. Song Shou, Cai Qi, Yan Shu and others all got up, but Wang Zeng was unwilling to salute Lu Yijian, who was very respectful to him in the past.

Lu Yi Jian didn't like it.

Another day, it was proposed to give Changzhou Xuetian five things.

The king once thought that the land was too small to show the emperor's grace.

Lu Yijian said bluntly: "I have made up my mind, don't say more!"

Wang Zeng didn't like it either.

If it is repeated five times, the resentment between the two will become deeper.

Li Di, who was ousted by Lu Yijian, went crazy to collect Lu Yijian's black materials.

As far as Lu Yijian's son-in-law is concerned, isn't it a big deal to break the law and discipline?

Of course, ordinary trivial things are basically not lethal to the level of prime minister.

Heavy hammers are used to sound the drums.

As a result, Li Di said that LΓΌ Yijian had a personal relationship with King Zhao Yuanyan (the legendary Eight Sages King), and once appointed his monk Huiqing as the guardian of Jianyi.

Don't look at Zhao Zhen as a good person, then what will happen.

The prime minister has a personal relationship with the clan and commits illegal things. To put it mildly, this is something that can shake the imperial power.

It's serious, and I'm angry!

Examine! Check it out to me!

Jokes aside, no official can stand up to scrutiny.

A check, this is also wrong, and the other is also wrong. As a result, Lu Yijian was reprimanded for not sacrificing to the heavens, and Li Di was demoted to Taichangqing and Zhimi Prefecture.

Once the prime minister could not attend the most important ceremony to worship the heavens, the meaning of which is self-evident.

When the conflict between Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng broke out, the two competed with each other, saying that they were old and faint, could not be a director, and begged for bones.

No matter how stupid Zhao Zhen is, he also knows that the two have a contradiction.

The king of the first edict once entered the palace and asked: "Does the public want to be the prime minister again?"

Wang Zeng couldn't stand the heavy words, and defended: "The old minister acted stupidly, and the officials did not give up, and once again he was promoted to the second minister, and he was already grateful, and he didn't dare to ask for extravagance."

"Then why have I heard that there is a lot of noise in the government hall all day long, so that there is a delay in handling government affairs from time to time?"

The king once said bluntly: "The minister is guilty. It was the minister who couldn't get used to Lu Yijian's recruitment of power and city's grace, and abused public weapons, so there were some disputes. The minister is guilty! ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "The prince has always been steady, don't learn from the words and rumors of the court."

Wang Zeng said categorically: "Lu Yijian knows about the bribery of Wang Jiming in Qinzhou, and everyone knows it, and it is not a minister's nonsense."

Zhao Zhen was unwilling to listen to and believe, and ordered Lu Yijian to confront him face to face.

So, the two bigwigs couldn't hold back anymore, and started a scolding in front of the palace like a shrew scolding the street.

For a while, spit flew and foul language continued.

Zhao Zhen was angry that he had lost his honor before the monarch, expelled them from the palace, and held Song Shou and Cai Qi accountable.

Song Shouyu Xiang Yi Jian, Cai Qi attached Wang Zeng.

Zhao Zhen was angry again and chased him away.

Zhao Zhen said helplessly to Chen Lin: "Look at it, this is my confidant!" What is the use of forming parties for personal gain? ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Don't worry, officials! There are many talented people in the DPRK and China, and some of them want to serve in the government office. Besides, the princes in the political hall are not all party members, and Lord Yan is very clean! ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Uncle Yan Tong's qualifications are still shallow, and he can't convince the public!" Let's take Chen Yaozuo and Wang Sui for the time being! ”

Seeing that Chen Lin seemed to have something to say, Zhao Zhen said: "I know that you don't like to participate in court politics, this is because of Fang Zhongyong, right?"

Chen Lin said: "The official's eyes are like torches, and the old slave has transgressed."

"I am also very optimistic about Fang Zhongyong, he will definitely be reused in the future. But with Yan Shu suddenly as the prime minister, Fang Zhongyong could no longer be in charge of the army. I heard that Fang Zhongyong was in charge of the Ma Army, and his training was quite effective, and the military was becoming more and more powerful. If you have any merit, you can be on your own! ”

Jiazi, the zaichen Lu Yijian was dismissed as the envoy of the Zhen'an Festival, Tongping Zhangshi, and sentenced to Xuzhou; Wang Zeng was dismissed as a left servant, a scholar of the Senior Administration Palace, and sentenced to Yunzhou; Governor Song Shou was dismissed as Shangshu Zuo Cheng and a bachelor of the Senior Administration Palace; Cai Qi was dismissed as a servant of the ministry and returned to work.

LΓΌ Yijian and Wang Zeng seem to have not been downgraded in rank, and their treatment has not changed, but the official positions of the Song Dynasty are all fictitious, and the emphasis is on the last item, which is the so-called dispatch. Serving as the prime minister's second minister as a local governor is a very heavy punishment.

In the blink of an eye, the government hall was empty.

On duty that day, Yan Shu asked Fang Zhongyong to come to his house for tea.

Looking at Old Taishan who wanted to speak and stopped, Fang Zhongyong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, is he worried about the affairs of the political affairs hall?"

Yan Shu said with some embarrassment: "The few people in front of me have all been degraded. These days, I've been very busy in the court! Ha ha! ”

"My son-in-law has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You and I are dearest, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Father-in-law, why do you think RΓΌtanfu is waiting for others? What about prestige? How is the network? ”

Yan Shu pondered for a moment and said: "To be fair, Lu Xiang has outstanding ability, and he is really the best candidate for assistance. The prestige and connections in the court are unparalleled. I might as well too! ”

"Then why did the official family want to remove him?"

"Naturally, because of the dispute between friends, I am afraid that the tail will not be lost, so I have to take precautions." Yan Shu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You little guy, you don't speak sharply!" You just have to say bluntly that the old lady is hopeful, and the talent is not enough to take on this heavy responsibility, so why bother to go around in a big circle! ”

Fang Zhongyong smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid that your old man will be angry?"

Yan Shu waved his hand: "As the saying goes, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, but the old man doesn't have this belly, how dare he hope for the prime minister's position?"

Hearing you say that, I think of something else. If the old man is in power, according to the custom, you will have to take up an idle position to avoid suspicion. There is absolutely no reason that both civil and military are in the hands of you and me.

Anyway, the old man should be a rich idler! lest it hinder someone's path to the clouds. ”

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly kept telling him: "If Lao Taishan wants to fight for this position, the son-in-law is willing to do his best." ”

The next day, the edict was issued: to know the Privy Council Wang Sui, the household servant to know Zhengzhou Chen Yaozuo and for the Ping Zhang, Lu Yi Jian tried to recommend the two to be available. To participate in the governor's affairs Sheng Du knew the Privy Council, with the Privy Council Han Yi and the three envoys Cheng Lin, Hanlin Bachelor Cheng Zhi Shi Zhongli and participated in the Governor's Affairs, and the Privy Counsellor Wang Hao knew the Privy Council.

Everyone on the earth knows that Wang is wide on the outside and strict on the inside, and his talent is slightly weak, and Chen Yaozuo is old and faint and unbearable, and the meaning of this appointment transition is obvious. It seems that the opportunity for the old father-in-law Yan Shu has really come!

Of course, Yan Shu's luck is really not covered.

Although he did not successfully ascend to the throne, he also narrowly escaped a catastrophe.

The leadership team headed by Sheng Du is really unfavorable, and after only one year in office, several people were all dismissed.

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
