Chapter 632: An important position that must be contested
On the first day of July in the second year of Yifeng, the East Palace feast, the prince Li Xian offered overseas grain, and recommended himself to deal with the disaster of the long-term drought, during the banquet, there were people making trouble, the prince came out to face Pingzhi, the emperor Dayue, the quasi-prince played, set up the disaster relief command center, transferred the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Di Renjie into the court as the big Si Nong, and did all the things in parallel, it was night, there were bandits who attacked the granary at night, and repelled the ambush for the prince, the next day, the emperor was furious, and summoned the emperor to assist in deciding the matter, and the king of Zhuyue Li Zhen played, issued an edict to search the whole city, and the criminal department Shangshu Wu Chenghei presided over the trial of the whole case, and the trial was completed in one month.
On the sixth day of July in the second year of Yifeng, the vanguard fleet of "Deng Ji Firm" arrived in the suburbs of Luoyang, carrying more than 10,000 stone grains into disaster relief, and the disaster situation that was already severe to the extreme was slowed down a little. On the ninth and tenth days of July in the second year of Yifeng, the "Deng Ji Firm" shipping fleet arrived in Qingdao and Ping respectively, and Di Renjie, the assassin of Qingzhou, was ordered to command the disaster relief matters in Hebei and Shandong.
On July 20 of the second year of Yifeng, the sky was open, after more than two months of drought, the first rain in Henan finally fell, although it was not big, but for the people who suffered from drought, it was better than Ganlin, hundreds of thousands of victims near the eastern capital of Elk gathered in the rain and carnival, eager to return to their hometowns, and the prince Li Xian, who presided over the disaster relief, urgently summoned the various departments and yamen to coordinate the return of the victims, and wrote the history of the prefectures of Henan, Hebei, Guanzhong, and Shandong, and ordered all the states and counties to go all out, and be sure to arrange the resettlement and resumption of cultivation of the victims. Li Xian also dispatched a large number of guards of the East Palace who knew how to cultivate and various officials of Sinong Temple to rush to various states and counties to supervise and handle matters related to the popularization of overseas grain varieties.
The rain has been falling for a few days in a row, although it is only a not very big shower, but the drought is in the past, not only that, the hot day is also a little cooler, it is a rare good weather in the hot summer, on the wilderness outside the city, the newborn grass tips and buds are green and verdant, and the earth has been covered in a few days. Every day, he gets up early and works greedily in the dark, almost everything must be done, even if he can't even find a respite, it's not that Li Xian has a tendency to be abused, it's really a lack of manpower on the official side, so he can only do it himself.
Tired, it goes without saying, but in Li Xian's view, it is worth it, not only that the living are not counted as such a great public virtue will be in hand, but also because this move marks one thing, that is, Li Xian, as the prince, has officially stepped into the core of the political situation, with the communication with the officials of various ministries and departments, the prestige is rising, even if there is still an extreme lack of foundation at the top level, but among the grassroots and even middle-level officials, Li Xian has a large number of supporters, and because of it, he has found some talents that can be created, and in time, If you cultivate it a little, even if you don't recall the old ministers such as King Luo Bin, Li Xian will not be able to send anyone, of course, these are all later words, at the moment, for Li Xian, the most important thing is to do a good job in the post-disaster reconstruction work, no, the sky is already dark, Li Xian is still busy in the study, but he can't even take care of dinner.
"Your Highness, Zhuang Zhang's arrival is here."
Just when Li Xian was discussing the construction of the water conservancy project with several officials of the Ministry of Industry who had been transferred, he saw Gao Miao hurriedly coming in from outside, walked straight to Li Xian's side, and reported in a low voice.
"Hmm."
As soon as he heard that Zhuang Yong was coming at this time, Li Xian knew that something important must happen, but he did not rush to ask in detail, because the officials present were not exactly Li Xian's descendants, but just spoke lightly to show that he knew what he knew.
"My subordinates knock on His Royal Highness the Prince."
Soon after a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry went, Zhuang Yong was accompanied by Gao Miao into the study, and when he saw Li Xian, who was sitting behind the copywriter, he hurriedly rushed forward and respectfully bowed to the courtesy.
"Excuse me, sit down."
After more than half a month of continuous rotation, Rao is Li Xiantie's body was already a little unbearable, in front of all the officials before, he could still hold on, but now he was facing such a henchman as Zhuang Yong, and his tiredness couldn't stop surging up, and the exhaustion on his face was amazingly thick, and he really didn't want to pay attention to those false courtesies, but he just commanded casually.
"Your Highness." Li Xian could be at will, but Zhuang Yong didn't dare to ignore it, and thanked him respectfully, so he sat sideways on the Jindun, and said with a solemn face: "Your Royal Highness, according to the internal information of the Criminal Department, the case of the night attack on the granary is almost over, involving more than 50 officials, large and small, involving nearly 2,000 people, all of whom have been detained and imprisoned, and all the spearheads are directed at the king of Jiangling County. ”
Sure enough, I still can't escape, time, life!
Although he had known that this would be the result, when the "truth" was revealed, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but feel a strong sense of sadness, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, but he didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh.
"In addition, according to reliable sources, Jia Chaoyin, Li Shi, Ming Chongyan and other backbone of the party have been in tandem and are ready to impeach Yin Weixi of Luoyang Mansion for dereliction of duty, and plan to replace him with Shao Yin Fan Lubing."
Seeing that Li Xian was sighing and sad, but did not intervene in it, Zhuang Yong's hanging heart was relieved a lot, just because he and Zhang Cambodia's views were completely the same, and they didn't want the abolished prince Li Xian to still live in this world, in fact, not only him, but all the officials of the East Palace family thought so in their hearts, of course, relieved to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhuang Yong did not dare to bring his true feelings to his face, but was silent for a while, and after Li Xian's mood calmed down a little, he continued to report.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Xian couldn't help but be a spirit, and suddenly sat up straight, his eyes flashed wildly, and the tiredness and sadness disappeared in an instant, and the rest was only shock and anger, nothing else, just because the position of Luoyang Mansion Yin was too critical, at least for Li Xian - in the entire palace, basically the leaders of the eunuchs who could be ranked were all people from the Empress Wu, as for the Yulin Army, although the two generals had already secretly thrown themselves into Li Xian, and Xue Rengui had a neutral attitude, But the heart is also towards Li Xian, but more than half of the middle-level generals are the party of the Empress Wu, even if the Empress Wu has adjusted most of the martial arts children out of the Yulin Army system, but it can be replaced by the Empress Wu's people, and the pattern of its control of the Yulin Army has not changed much, in this case, the power of Luoyang Mansion is crucial, if the Empress Wu's party also controls the power of Luoyang Mansion, for Li Xian, the problem is serious.
The status of Luoyang Mansion Yin is one level higher than that of ordinary Shangzhou Thorn History, it is a member of the three grades, it is a noble official, but in the final analysis, it is just a local official, in the era of Gaozu and Taizong, although the position of Luoyang Mansion Yin is also important, but it does not have much practical significance, in terms of the court bureau, it is almost insignificant, but in the era of Gaozong, this position is very important, not for anything else, just because Gaozong stays in the Eastern Capital all the year round, Luoyang Mansion Yin has actually replaced the function of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, which is the key department of Gyeonggi, The successive mansion Yin is not a pro-noble minister, whether it is the former mansion Yin Peiheng or the current mansion Yin Wei Xiji, they are Gaozong's confidants and favorite ministers, in order to ensure the safety of the center, it can be seen that the key to this position, the earlier Wu Hou infiltrated the Luoyang Mansion, Li Xian can ignore it, just because Li Xian is also doing the same work, with the sharp weapon of "Ming Di", the effect will only be higher than that of the Wu Hou side, and it will definitely not be lower than it, but now the Wu Hou intends to even the pot to end the past, which can touch Li Xian's bottom limit, No matter from which point of view, Li Xian will never sit back and watch the Empress Wu get his hands on it!
"Gao Miao, go, please Mr. Zhang immediately enter the palace to discuss matters!"
Tricky, incredibly tricky! Li Xian silently pondered for a while, but he thought of several ways, but he didn't have too many chances of winning, in the final analysis, because there were too few people available in the court, it was really a bit of an embarrassment, and in desperation, he could only smile bitterly and reach out and rub his aching head, planning to hand over the problem to Zhang Cambodia to worry about.
"No!"
Although Gao Miao didn't understand what Li Xian was worried about, but when he saw Li Xian's face was cold, he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly answered, hurriedly went out of the study, and hurried all the way to the mansion of Zhang Cambodia who lived at the root of the imperial city.
"The old minister knocks on His Highness."
Zhang Cambodia is an extremely stable person, under any circumstances, the number of etiquette will never be ambiguous, this line entered the door of the study, although he had seen the anxious look on Li Xian's face, but he was not in a hurry to explore the roots, but meticulously followed the rules of the court to make a big salute.
"Sir, don't be polite, please take a seat, Mr. Zhuang, and explain the news in detail."
Li Xian knew Zhang Cambodia's temperament very well, and after he finished the ceremony, he waved his hand and asked Zhuang Yong to repeat what he said before.
"No, so that Mr. Zhang can know that this is the case......"
Li Xian had an order, Zhuang Yongzi didn't dare to slack off, got up busily, responded respectfully, and then told the story of the matter, which made Zhang Cambodia, who had always been calm, frown......
