Chapter Twenty-Five: The Forbearant Li Xian
Demotion to be an official seems to have a good ending, but there is a big way, if you are demoted to a rich land, you can live comfortably, but Guangdong is already barren, even the fishery that should be developed is half-dead, and what is more troublesome is the pirate chaos, in short, it is a place of right and wrong, ordinary people can't avoid it, so the court loves to go to Liangguang, Miaojiang, or Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the desert frontier is degraded.
Li Xian seems to be Xu Youzhen's subordinate, and has a deep friendship with Shi Heng, after seizing the door, Shi Heng once promoted Li Xian as the secretary of the ministry, but Li Xian resigned, long before the coup d'état, Li Xian had visited Lu Yunzhi, expressing his desire to form an alliance with Lu Yunzhi, at that time Lu Yunzhi deliberately made a sneering gesture and asked: "What capital do you have to form an alliance with me." ”
Li Xian tore open his shirt, revealing his chest, and although he was a scholar, he shouted with pride: "With my blood and the right path in my heart." ”
Lu Yunzhi hurriedly gave up his hand to make amends, feasted Li Xian and declared that Yu Qian did not want to return to the shadows, Li Xian readily agreed, although he did not help Lu Yunzhi afterwards, but the two talked secretly a lot, Li Xian is different from Xu Youzhen Shiheng and others, he is not a person who has power, but it does not mean that he has no ability to get power, he just doesn't want to be so, he respects Yu Qian as much as Lu Yunzhi, but has different political views from Yu Qian, and what is different from Lu Yunzhi is that he and Yu Qian have a bad personal relationship,
If it is said that Lu Yunzhi and Yu Qian belong to heroes and are incompatible with each other, but they cherish each other, then Li Xian has a natural dislike for Qian, he respects Yu Qian is the loyal and patriotic heart, and the attitude of dedication, but what he hates Yu Qian is his way of doing things and his actions as a loyal minister, ministers, assisting the emperor, it is not easy to cover the lord, and Yu Qian is obviously above Zhu Qiyu, and then Zhu Qiyu is not in good health, Li Xian advocates that Zhu Qizhen is reinstated, Yu Qian hopes to establish the vassal king as the emperor, and at worst, he has to let Zhu Jianshen be the emperor, In short, Zhu Qizhen is not allowed to reset,
Li Xian always thinks that the loyal ministers don't do this, in this way, the Ming is still the Ming of the Zhu family, it is simply Yu Qian's Ming, whether Yu Qian is thinking about the people of the world, or for the sake of hostility to Lu Yunzhi, in short, it is really inappropriate to do this, the establishment of a vassal is to disturb the bloodline and disrupt the dynasty, it is really difficult for Yu Qian to accept,
On the eve of the change of seizing the door, Li Xian had a conflict, because he wanted to participate in this action that he seemed to be a loyal minister, but he also did not want to get into trouble with Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen, Shiheng and other power-grabbing villains, and end up in the same stream.
Just when Li Xian was very melancholy, Lu Yunzhi took the initiative to find him, told him the overall plan of the coup d'état, and indicated that Li Xian would not be allowed to participate in the seizure of the door, and also said that after the seizure of the door, those villains whose interests were interested in participating in the seizure of the door, Lu Yunzhi had to deal with them one by one, and then it was the time for Li Xian to really show his strength, so now he can only hide in the officialdom and be a bystander, otherwise once he becomes the hero of the seizure of the door, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.
Li Xian did not participate in the change of seizing the door, but Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng both thought of Li Xian after their success, and regarded him as their own sworn friend, so Li Xian entered the cabinet with the help of Xu Youzhen, and Shi Heng promoted Li Xian to serve as the secretary of the ministry, Li Xian accepted Xu Youzhen's olive branch, and tactfully rejected Shi Heng, Shi Heng was not angry, but thought that Li Xian was a talent, and did not be moved by the high-ranking officials, and became his own lackey, and Shi Heng treated Li Xian as an equal friend from then on. Even some confidential things are not shy to tell Li Xian,
In fact, Li Xian is still quite optimistic about the position of the secretary of the ministry, the ministry is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of most officials, with this position Li Xian can show his ambitions, but Lu Yunzhi said that it was too early, now to serve as a big official is nothing more than to push himself to the cusp of the storm, lack of protective umbrella, if you want to fight bloodlessly to fall down the middle of the court, then first you need a big tree to shelter him from the wind and rain, Cao Jixiang is not suitable, Shi Heng is not suitable, Xu Youzhen is the most suitable, so Li Xian worshiped Xu Youzhen, became a figure in Xu Youzhen's party, and with his intelligence, Li Xian soon became the "top military advisor" in this small group.
However, there is another reason, Lu Yunzhi did not say it, that is, because the original official Shangshu Wang Ao is also Lu Yunzhi's person, Lu Yunzhi naturally can't favor one over the other, let Wang Ao step down, of course, keeping Wang Ao is also for Li Xian's good, Wang Ao can play his role at the critical moment, all this does not need Lu Yunzhi to come forward, he just needs to sit at home and strategize, if compared with the goods, Lu Yunzhi is porcelain, so he disdains to fight with tiles such as Xu Youzhen Shiheng, killing chickens with a knife,
When Xu Youzhen was sent to Guangdong, he bid farewell to his old subordinates, most of whom were dismissed, and a few were degraded to barren places as officials like himself, including Li Xian,
After Xu Youzhen left, Li Xian did not leave, Wang Ao lobbied and Zhu Qizhen Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, exempted Li Xian from his sins, although Wang Ao is not a figure who leans towards the government and the opposition, but after all, he is a secretary of the ministry, even Zhu Qizhen has to sell him a thin face, thinking that Li Xian is not an unforgivable sinner who touches a position of power like Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qizhen personally ordered Li Xian to stay in the capital, but he deposed Li Xian from his position and demoted him to three levels.
Wang Ao found Shi Heng again, and after sending a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, he said something, making Shi Heng believe that the reason why Li Xian participated in Shi Heng was only for expediency, but it was actually good for Shi Heng, and Ah Rong also told Cao Jixiang that Li Xian was the one who responded from the middle, and he was the inner line of the DPRK and China behind the development of Lu Yunzhi, and it was just an expedient measure before.
Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang no longer pursued it, and took the lead in interceding with Li Xian, and Zhu Qizhen was also willing to sell such a favor to them, so within five days, Li Xian returned to the position of the servant of the ministry, and at the same time restored his position as a bachelor of Hanlin, and still remained in the cabinet.
Xu Youzhen was transferred to Guangdong, but Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng didn't want to let him go like that, when the three of them were in a prosperous world, it was Xu Youzhen who first broke the balance and provoked a fight, and now he is just demoted to Guangdong to serve as a governor, which is too insufficient, since Xu Youzhen is going to participate in politics, then let him go to the underworld to participate in politics.
Xu Youzhen, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to break into, behind Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang's sneering is an endless killing machine,
