Chapter 5, the blunt mallet
Pei Gai not only formulated the military rank system, but also re-established the rank of civil officials - this is because the official qualities granted by the Luoyang court may not be in line with the actual situation in Guanzhong, and some low-level positions and temporary assignments in the Great Sima Shogunate have never been of good quality.
To put it bluntly, Pei should have put aside the original character and official system, and there was no military and military administration in the Guanzhong region, and another set of things to do.
Civil officials are not awarded more than three grades - just kidding, the first and second grades are both public and public, and they are not appointed by Pei Cai, so at present, there is only one Pei Cai in Guanzhong, so why bother setting it up?
The name of the three-rank civil official is Zhengqing, the fourth rank is Yaqing, the fifth-rank upper doctor, the sixth-rank middle doctor, the seventh-rank lower doctor, the eighth-rank Shilang, the ninth rank Zhengshilang, and the lowest level is set up with a Deng Shilang - the last three names are derived from the Wensan officials of the Tang and Song dynasties.
In later generations, the perfect character official system was divided into positive and subordinate from the first to the ninth grade, and the upper and lower grades were divided into upper and lower grades, with a total of 30 levels, while the civil and military official system was calculated from the first grade, with a total of 29 ranks, which corresponded exactly one to one. Pei Gai believes that in the current situation, there is no need to make it so complicated, the Han Dynasty rank system is only more than ten levels (there have been increases and decreases in the past dynasties), and the Tang and Song dynasties have complex grades, which are inseparable from the phenomenon of redundant officials, so in the Qing Dynasty, it was removed from the top and bottom, and condensed into "nine products and eighteen orders".
His current setup is equivalent to dividing all civil and military forces into ten levels and temporarily applying them. The officials directly under the shogunate and the three armies of the Great Sima were all divided according to this rank, and as for the magistrates of each prefecture and county, it was affirmed that this rank was purely for the purpose of respecting the inferior and the superior when staying in Taiwan, and that it could be parallel to their original official qualities and ranks, and did not affect each other.
At present, Liu Cang has been defeated, presumably Hu Kou will not dare to invade Guanzhong again in a short time, and his own side will temporarily appoint Zhen Sui to invade Hedong. Under these conditions, Pei Cai, on the one hand, wanted to take the opportunity to reorganize the army, promote the military rank system, and clarify the functions of various ministries, while also continuing to expand the army, and on the other hand, he planned to reorganize the personnel of Chinese officials, and also used the new hierarchy to reorganize it.
——————————
After the fierce battle in Guanzhong, it was temporarily classified into a period of gentle accumulation, which was left alone for the time being. And above the Luoyang court, the situation is changing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the great Sima Pei should not only destroy Hu Kou in Guanzhong and win the biggest victory since the Hu Chao, but also the hussar general Zu Ti left Luoyang and went to the front line in Hanoi, so the momentum of the "Pei Party" will inevitably become more prosperous because of this.
Kansai, Hedong, as well as Qing and Xu people all celebrated; Officials from Si, Yan, and Yu either paid close attention to the movements of Taifu Xun's group to see how he turned his back, or secretly looked for a way, with the intention of changing the court. All of a sudden, Liang Fen, Xun Song and others were in front of the house, and the petitioners were able to directly discharge a mile of team.
However, no one expected that Zuyo would be the first to launch a counterattack. Just a few days after Wei Zhong was torn apart, coinciding with the Great Dynasty, Wang Tao, the secretary of the imperial court, suddenly came out of the ranks, impeached Shangshu Li Rong, and played his 12 things such as corruption, bribery, ultra viress authority, and private grants, and asked him to be dismissed; Immediately, the palace attendant Shi Fan Guang also stood up and said: "Li Rong saw it, and often secretly took the front foot with his hand, which not only lost the minister's manners, but also had the suspicion of private discussion, so I beg for correction." ”
Wang Tao is a native of Tangyi, and his brother Wang Jianchu was a waiter of Langya State, but he moved south with Sima Rui and served in the Jiankang shogunate; Wang Tao himself went into exile in Runan, and only came out of the dynasty after Luoyang's recovery. Fan Guang is a native of Shunyang, the eldest son of Fan Yan, the former Yongzhou assassin and the left general. On the surface, these two are not the Zu family's party, but today they stood up to impeach Li Rong, and who instigated it is all too clear.
If it was just an accident, why did the two of them come out one after the other and impeach the same person from different directions?
At the court meeting, the atmosphere was serious and the agenda was very compact, so it was impossible for Li Rong to stand up and defend himself one by one. Under normal circumstances, if the matter is not serious, or if the emperor trusts this person, he will order him to write a self-defense; If the matter is more serious, or if the emperor also suspects the impeached, he will order Youji to temporarily set up a verification team to investigate the relevant situation.
Sima Ye seems to trust Li Rong, and Wang Tao and Fan Guang did not come up with irrefutable evidence on the spot - although there is no "rumor of the incident" in these years, but the impeachment of the imperial history, there is really no need to implement everything in a pile, because they themselves lack sufficient manpower and material resources to investigate - so they ordered Li Rong to write a self-defense after retiring from the dynasty.
Li Zhongsi was hit the top, and he was somewhat caught off guard and lost his soul. In the evening of the same day, he took the initiative to visit Liang Fen, and Liang Fen also sat in the study, waiting for this cronie to arrive. After meeting, Li Rong said: "This must be instructed by the ancestors!" ”
Liang Fen said that is still a guess? There is no need to say more nonsense - "Zhong Si, is the impeachment real or false?" ”
Li Rong smiled bitterly: "Situ Gong, but who can do anything without fault?" Or if a relative has a request, how can he not say it? Friends and friends have gifts, how can they refuse to accept them? I have no fault in what I have done, but it may not be easy to defend myself...... "Who in the official position does not go in and out of the gray area?" As long as you don't directly violate the state system, don't go too far, and don't be caught, then you should be fine, right? The problem is that people have been planning for a long time and are prepared, so it is not easy for me to do this self-defense article.
"As for the loss of the body of the temple...... Doesn't Situ Gong know? "What I pinched is your feet, Fan Guang didn't dare to say it clearly-" However, as a servant in the palace, why didn't Fan say it at the time, but only said it at this time? ”
Then he sighed and said: "As a minister of Taiwan Province and a central position, how can he be in his position again if he is impeached!" ”
This is also a common practice since the Han Dynasty, as an important minister of the imperial court, once targeted by a supervisory body such as the Imperial Historical Observatory, it is not just a self-defense that can be done, and often has to resign - even if the impeachment of me is a lie, it can be seen that I do not live up to the expectations of the public, if I do not abdicate the throne, I will be considered greedy for power, which will damage my reputation. Of course, this is just a statement, and whether the resignation is passed or not is still a matter of two words.
But Li Rong said: "The ancestors are less menacing, and I am afraid that they will not be able to rest unless the ministers abdicate the throne." If the minister leaves Taiwan Province temporarily, he can stop his momentum and no longer advance; If the minister does not retreat, he is afraid of the incident and Situ Gong and Xun Servant ......, "Why is Fan Guang obscuring your name today?" That is to leave room for it, and Zu Yue does not dare to hope that it can be done in one step and can sweep away the hostile forces. But if he misses a blow, he may increase the intensity of his attack, and when the time comes, he will threaten you or Xun Jingyou, then it will be troublesome......
Liang Fen tightened her eyebrows, twisted her beard and asked, "What's the matter?" "Do you have to resign?
Li Rong nodded, and said that not only do I want to resign, but I don't just want to make a statement, I have to leave Shangshu Province - "Since the ministers retired from the dynasty, they have repeatedly planned, and only in this way can they counter Zushi Shao!" "It's like if he punches him, we have to take a step back, and then we can fight back; If you don't retreat, not only is it easy to get injured, but the strength behind you is not easy to develop.
And Zu asked him to fight, and now he is dispatching grain and materials for Zu Ti and raising backup soldiers and horses, this matter has always been done by him, even if others take over, it is difficult to sort out the organization in a short period of time - besides, how can others be smoothly transferred to the people of the ancestral family? That's why he dared to scold me directly, but it was inconvenient for us to launch a counterattack and bombard him from power.
So, is that all there is? Of course not!
"Those who can break this situation are only the ones who say it."
We have to hurry up and summon Zu Na over, as Zu Li's brother, he will take charge of the future affairs in place of Zu Yue, then no one has anything to say, and the Zu family and horses dare not obey their orders-
"Situ Gong, what you discussed the day before yesterday must be done in a hurry! I have hinted that Mei Shuzhen, Zhong Yanxuan, and Situ Gong can be summoned, so that the two of them can go south to Jiankang, and talk about the King of Danyang and Zu Shiyan, plus Liu Dalian and Diao Xuanliangguan, the matter can be done in seven or eight points. As soon as I go to the throne, Situ Gong will play with Xun Servant, summoning the soldiers to come to the capital, so as not to make the ancestors less insatiable, and take advantage of the victory to advance ......"
——————————
So the next day, Li Rong wrote a self-defense note, plus a resignation sheet, and sent it to Shangshu Province, and in order to show that he was not just talking about it, but pretending to resign, he simply stayed at home to "wait for the crime" and no longer went to work in the province. The province discussed this matter, and Liang Fen hinted at it as a plain scholar, and it was successfully passed, and Sima Ye knew about it.
Sima Ye summoned the provincial ministers to consult on the candidates for the new Shangshu. Zu Yue was proud of his performance, and he also had a few suitable candidates in his sleeve - of course, it was suitable for him - to cheer up, and planned to fight the Confucianism with his tongue, and snatch this position from the mouths of Liang Fen, Xun Song, and Hua Heng. But who would have thought that Xun Song said directly: "Fan Yang Zu Shiyan, the family is noble (now ranked sixth in the whole day), has conduct, can clear words, and the meaning is considerable. ”
When Zu Shishao heard this, he was stupid on the spot......
Although Zuna was not born to the same mother as him, after all, he was also the brother of the same father, and in terms of traditional Confucian morality, unless my brother's character was really unbearable, and even violated the law of the country, I had already severed relations with him, otherwise it was impossible to speak ill of my brother in public, right? Now that Xun Song has proposed to summon the ancestors into the capital and fill the Shangshu, can I say that it is not appropriate?
What's even worse is that if Zuna doesn't come, it will be fine, once he enters Beijing to take office, how can there be a reason for two brothers to be in the center and stay in the same department? That selflessness is also selfish! When the time comes, I will definitely have to avoid him, it is impossible for him to avoid me, right?
Sima Ye didn't know that he had so many tricks, and he specially asked: "What does Zu Qing think about the servant's shooting?" Is Brother Ling a scholar? ”
Zu Yue couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he had to lean over and say: "My brother's talent is about ten times more than ......."
The heart said that when I went back, I would quickly write a letter to my second brother, analyze the benefits and losses clearly, and ask him to resign and not come to Luoyang! But my second brother has never looked down on me, and it's really hard to predict whether he will listen to me......
Regarding Xun Song's recommendation of Zuna, since the ministers had no objections, Sima Ye also agreed, and then Shangshu Province prepared a custom book, and sent Shangshu Zuocheng Wang Zhuo to Jiankang to recruit Zuna.
Wang Wenxuan is a high-grade and low-grade - he is a first-class Jingling County Prince, but he is only a small Shangshu Youcheng, not long ago he was promoted to Zuocheng, listed as the sixth - plain but has no regrets, resentment, loyal and diligent work, has won unanimous praise from the whole province of Taiwan. But theoretically speaking, he is a native of Taiyuan, and he once took the initiative to throw himself into Chang'an to confess Pei Gai, which should be regarded as the "Pei Party", but Wang Wenxuan guarded the door and never had personal dealings with Liang Fen, Xun Song and others, and behaved absolutely neutral. Therefore, this recruitment candidate was also recognized by both Liang and Zu.
Immediately, Liang Fen, Xun Song, and Zu Yue successively sent people to hint to Wang Zhuo: You go slowly, don't rush to Jiankang......
For the former, it was hoped that Mei Tao and Zhong Ya would rush to Jiankang first, and first say that Sima Rui, the king of Danyang, would release him and persuade Zu Na to be stunned; For the latter, my letter to the second brother must be delivered first, otherwise what's the point of blocking it?
Wang Wenxuan is good at observing people, and he is naturally aware of the treacherous waves in the court, so he replied to the people on both sides, and said I know - then I will go slowly, and when you arrange it, I will arrive in Jiankang. You just have to fight, it's none of my business anyway, I just need to do my job.
After the decree was issued, Li Rong officially resigned, and then packed his luggage and said that he would return to his hometown. Liang Fen and Xun Song naturally had other arrangements for him, and even wanted to simply stuff Li Rong into the Yushi Terrace, but Li Rong politely refused. The two of them said in their hearts, do you want to return to Guanzhong and cry to Da Sima?
Crying or not crying for the time being, since Li Rong has returned to his hometown, with his character, it is impossible to live in seclusion, and as a great hero of the original "inverted rope", Pei should not let this person go. In short, when Li Rong enters the customs, he will definitely go out of the Sima Shogunate, and his future future is also guaranteed.
By the way, Mei Tao and Zhong Ya, the former is a native of Xiping, Runan, and the latter is a native of Yingchuan Changshe, who has been the magistrate of the county before the "Yongjia Rebellion". In terms of factions, these two people are more inclined to the Xun group, and Liang Fen also discussed with the Xun group first, and after reaching a compromise on interests, he was able to send the two to Jiankang to lobby.
The main two and Zu Naben were close friends - the Book of Jin records the conversation between the three:
Zunaping is silent, but it doesn't mean that this person is stupid or slow-witted, it's just that he is cautious and refuses to take advantage of his tongue. Zuna therefore said, "A man of kings and kings is as good as a cone; I am a man of seclusion, as dull as a mallet. Hold my blunt mallet and hammer the jun's sharp cone, all of them should be destroyed. ”
Mei and Zhong refused to admit defeat, saying, "I have a divine cone, and I can't get a gavel." Zuna smiled and said, "If there is a god cone, there must be a god mallet!" "Anyway, my blunt mallet can smash all your sharp cones to pieces.
