Chapter 46 Resentment
He remained in the middle until he was re-elected as Prime Minister
There are people who complain about rewarding meritorious heroes
Zhao Ruyu also clearly knows that he also has shortcomings, that is, his background. After Taizu ascended the throne, in order to consolidate the Zhao family, he established many family laws. One of them was directed at him. The same surname can be crowned king without worshipping the prime minister. These words are recorded in the temple, and their purpose is to prevent the threat of the monarchy with the power of the clan. In March of the third year of Shaoxi (1193), he was promoted from the secretary of the ministry to the Privy Council of Tongzhi, and Wang Yirui, the imperial historian, immediately went up to stop him: Ru Yu is the grandson of the Han Wang's family, the son of the clan, and it is not suitable to practice the throne to govern.
He also wrote a strong speech, but Guangzong Zhao Dian did not allow it, saying that Taizu and Gaozong established this rule, which was specifically referred to and had nothing to do with you. Emperor Xiaozong also specially summoned him to persuade him to stay. Half a year later, he was promoted to the rank of Privy Councillor.
This time, the emperor promoted him to the right minister, he suddenly thought of this, and hurriedly asked for resignation, which was immediately rejected by the emperor. Since the emperor trusts him so much, he doesn't need to be cowardly, just do his best.
For so many days, he also saw that the newly appointed emperor Zhao Kuo was taciturn, honest, and a little weak, but he had no bad habits. He is only 26 years old this year, has no experience in governance, and does not like to seize power, which leaves him quite a lot of room to show.
According to the Empress Dowager's decree, on the third day of the emperor's accession to the throne, he suggested to the emperor: keep the right and careful law, cherish the name, and raise the virtuous, Emperor Xiaozong called him pure and trustworthy, and the true prime minister, please appoint him as the left prime minister. When Ning Zong heard this, he seemed to be confused, and looked at him in a daze. He had to say it again, and the emperor Zhao Kuo asked: What does Aiqing mean.
Zhao Ruyu had to explain that the emperor could agree, and the emperor Zhao Kuan understood and immediately played.
After Liuzheng came back from that day, he hid at home for several days, embarrassed to go to court. This time, when I saw that the emperor had re-ordered him to be the prime minister, he was naturally grateful and grateful.
One day, the imperial court received a letter from Wu Xi from Wuxing, saying that his father Wu Ting had been dead for more than half a year, and the imperial court had not given him a pension or a nickname. Only then did I remember that no one has been in charge of Xingzhou so far. This time, appointing others to Sichuan to preside over military affairs can just change the problem of the Wu family leading troops in Shu to become bigger. Because, to send military generals, the Privy Council has the right to speak. Therefore, he came to Liuzheng with this question for consultation.
On the issue of pension and nickname, the Ministry of Rites has some regulations, it is easy to solve, it is recommended to stay right, the new emperor ascends the throne, the whole world celebrates, the pension can be higher, and the duke can also be given, as for the amount of pension, what is the title and nickname, prepared by the Ministry of Rites, reported to the ministry for review, Zhao Ruyu agreed.
Regarding the candidates for the command of Xingzhou, Liuzheng thought that Wu Xi had served in the front division of the palace in the past few years, and he had not found any problems, so did he let him go down to command the army?
Zhao Ruyu hurriedly waved his hand, no, no. Take a picture, don't forget, the Wu family has been commanding troops in Sichuan for more than 60 years, and letting Wu Xi go back again wouldn't it be a return to the mountain? If the tail is formed, you and I will become sinners through the ages.
Only then did Liu Zheng remember, and patted his head: Oh, you see, Liu is confused, this is the perfect time to relieve the Wu family's troubles. Change to someone who has nothing to do with the Wu family, Zizhi, you are familiar with the generals, and you nominate them.
Take a picture, how do you see Guo Jun, the deputy envoy commanded in front of the palace? This person is familiar with the art of war, and has been in the front of the palace for many years, and at the beginning, Guo Jiajun did not lose to Wu Jiajun
Okay, Guo Jun can, the Guo and Wu families have always been not harmonious, and this is beneficial to the country.
This Guo Jun has a good way of governing the army and is quite knowledgeable, so let's add a knotty envoy.
A few days later, the emperor issued an edict to adjust some officials.
Yang Wenduan, from the secretary of the ministry, was reappointed as the governor of the council and the privy council;
Peng Zishou, who was directly lectured by the Zhizhi and Jiawangfu, was reappointed as the servant of the Ministry of Officials and the Son of Heaven;
Xu Pingyang, who was dismissed from Zuo Shilang Zhong and Guozi Prison, was reappointed as a subordinate of the Inspector Zhongshu and a waiter of the Criminal Department;
Guo Jun, from the deputy envoy of the command of the former division of the palace, was reappointed as the envoy of the Wukang Army, the commander of Xingzhou and the governor of Xingzhou;
Zhao Yantong, from the Ministry of Industry, was reappointed as a bachelor of Duanming Palace, an envoy to the Sichuan pacification system and a governor of the CD government;
Han Yanxuan, from the defense envoy of Ruzhou and the governor of the cabinet, was reappointed as the observer of Xuanzhou and the Privy Council.
A holy decree came down, and a few families were happy and a few were sad.
Zhao Yantong was furious, and he couldn't figure it out. At the beginning, he helped Zhao Ruyu to give advice, and he also came forward to persuade Guo Dianshuai, so it can be regarded as both merit and hard work. How did you get such an ending. As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, as long as he takes a step forward, he is in power. Who knows, although it is said that he is in power, but after all, he went out of Beijing to distant Sichuan, and Nuo was not a toss when he traveled far away from Beijing? At the beginning, it wasn't said that it was good, and after the thing was completed, it would be the government, but why has it changed now?
He remembered that a few days ago, he went to Zhao Ruyu to find out. Before he could say anything deeply, Zhao Ruyu's face tightened, and he said: You and I are both royal clans, don't say anything about credit or not, the minister with the surname of foreign man saw the joke.
What about you Zhao Ruyu? Ignoring others, thinking about yourself wholeheartedly, the credit is yours, two levels in a row in the blink of an eye, selfish, hypocrite.
He immediately wrote a recital, indicating that he was sixty-five years old, old and frail, and asked the emperor to allow him to retire early and return to his hometown for the elderly.
Discerning people can see at a glance that this is dissatisfaction with the foreign assignment and wants to readjust. The emperor was young and didn't know, so he asked Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Ruyu told the emperor: Your Majesty is not allowed, just encourage and encourage.
As a result, these inside stories made Zhao Yan inform again, and he hated Zhao Ruyu even more:
Okay, you can be two-faced, and I won't be polite to you, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Two days later, he deliberately went to the emperor to resign, and when he parted, he said to Zhao Kuo with tears in his eyes: Your Majesty, the old minister is gone. Your Majesty can prevent the friends of the DPRK and China, this is the list of Wei Chen, please take a look.
Han Yanxuan was even more unhappy. Two days ago, Liu Ling told him: He had intentionally said in front of Zhao that Han Yanxuan was going to be promoted now, and he had a lot of credit in this internal meditation. Who knows, Zhao Ruyu stared at Liu and asked: What credit does he have?
persuaded the queen mother, asked her to listen to the government, preside over the political situation, and the inner Zen was clear and straightforward, such an important thing, except for me Han Yanxuan, who else can do it, and until now, he said that there is no credit. Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey? No one else has any credit, the credit is all yours, and the typical merit of greedy heaven is already there, and people who do this are too lacking in virtue.
In this dynasty, although the festival envoy is ranked first, he has no real power, it is an honorary title, and even eunuchs can do it. From the defense envoy to the observation envoy, the official rank is only two levels higher, why can't you just give him a knotty envoy, is it obvious that he looks down on people?
