Chapter 626: I can't help myself
readx;
Wen Jiyuan, the third son of Wen Yanbo, is a five-year jinshi in Xining, and his ranking is relatively high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, the starting point of the new science and technology scholars in the Great Song Dynasty was relatively low, and the promotion was relatively slow.
But Wen Jiyuan is an exception, after a short internship in the third division, he has risen to prominence. Wen Jiyuan is very talented? Not necessarily, the most important thing is that his father is Wen Yanbo.
Since the fall of Han Qi, Wen Yanbo has been promoted to the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, and he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and his protégés are all over the world. Zhao Ji has the intention to guard against Wen Yanbo, but he also wants to win him over, and giving grace is undoubtedly a good way.
Wen Yanbo's status is already very high, and it is not appropriate to give him a reward, but it is feasible to give him a favor. In Wen Yanbo's current position, he is already at the top of Wenchen, what can he care about? Isn't it the descendants of Enyin who care? Give his son a good future, and he will naturally be grateful.
Zhao Ji's idea was very good, so he directly promoted Wen Jiyuan to Chang'an to promote Changping Division. This position may seem unobtrusive, but it is actually important. In charge of grain storage, river transportation, labor and other aspects, it seems to be ordinary, but they are all related to the key points. In particular, grain storage, in ancient times, when the people took food as their heaven, it is self-evident how important the relationship between grain is.
Wen Jiyuan's terms of reference also include the closing of positions, which is closely related to the change of law. Zhao Ji also has a layer of intention, that is, to bring Wen Yanbo's son closer to the law, so as to affect Wen Xianggong's position, reduce some resistance, and increase some support.
I have to say that Zhao Ji's wishful thinking is very shrewd. But things in the world, often plans can't catch up with changes, and Zhao Zhao's sudden appearance makes Chang'an particularly special, and officials in Chang'an and even the entire northwest are becoming more and more sensitive.
To put it bluntly, it's about standing in line.
Wen Yanbo, as the propaganda envoy of Hebei Road, should be able to influence the army of Hebei Road to a certain extent. He is highly respected and has many protégés and former officials, and plays a pivotal role in the struggle for the throne.
Wen Yanbo himself doesn't want to stand in line early, and wait-and-see is the most reasonable choice.
But the two protagonists of the fight don't think so. Qin King Zhao Zhao of course hoped that Wen Yanbo could stand on his side. Zhao Ji has a different idea, he thinks that Wen Yanbo is his courtier, so he should be absolutely loyal to himself. If he fell to Zhao Zhao, or even waited and hesitated, it would be betrayal and disloyalty.
Zhao Ji has a suspicious personality, and suspicion is inevitable. Especially Wen Yanbo's son is an official in Chang'an, and the distance between him and Zhao Ji is very close, and he can barely be regarded as a close minister. Zhao Zhao had a close relationship with Wen Yanbo's sixth son, Wen and Fu, and also had contact with Wen Yanbo himself. These behaviors, which were originally very ordinary, are now particularly eye-catching.
These days, he worries about many officials in key positions. Wen Yanbo bore the brunt of this. He even thought about it. Is it possible to find a reliable person to replace Wen Yanbo? However, the stakes are big, and he does not dare to act rashly at the critical moment, but it is always difficult to completely rest assured in his heart.
At this time, Wen Yanbo's performance arrived!
After Zhao Ji saw it. The depressed mood suddenly improved a lot. In the recital, Wen Yanbo made it very clear that his son was not knowledgeable, and his virtue and ability were not enough to take on the big responsibility. After thanking the official family for their love, Wen Yanbo tactfully resigned for his son Wen Jiyuan.
Resign for the son! Zhao Ji understood that Wen Yanbo was sending a signal to him. If you want to use your son's resignation to draw a clear line with Zhao Zhao, it means that you must be loyal to yourself wholeheartedly.
Zhao Ji was suddenly relieved, it was too important for an important person like Wen Yanbo to settle down. At least one less suspect is there. The situation of gratitude that no one has available is somewhat relieved.
Of course, Zhao Ji is not a fool, especially suspicious and suspicious. will subconsciously doubt everything, Wen Yanbo wrote a letter to resign for his son. Does that mean he'll be true to himself?
Zhao Ji is still skeptical about this, maybe this is just a way for Wen Yanbo to protect himself and want to avoid the whirlpool, but don't you know that it is not to retreat? What does he want to do? Staying on the sidelines? Or is there already some collusion with Zhao Zhao and wants to get rid of the relationship in a hurry?
When you are a person of high authority, there is no simplicity in what you do. What exactly Wen Yanbo's attitude is remains to be determined.
As for the way of determination? Zhao Ji looked at the music in his hand and smiled!
Wen Yanbo is anxious to show his loyalty, which is good! Wen Jiyuan also happened to be in Chang'an, and it was very useful to be able to get close to Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Ji groaned slightly, and then made an instruction on the recital, and instructed: "The secret recital is approved, and it will be sent to the Daimyo's Mansion Wen Yanbo!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The emperor's subordinates naturally did not dare to slack off. Immediately, a fast horse was dispatched, passing through the post station, and quickly passing the song to the Daimyo's mansion.
Wen Yanbo's original plan was to let his son resign himself, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind. It is better to come in person, so that you can clearly state your position and the officials can feel more at ease.
In this way, it means that he is completely on Zhao Ji's side?
Where is it so easy? Wen Yanbo has been in court for decades and has a clear view of this showdown.
Zhao Ji is now the emperor, holding great power and taking the initiative. But King Qin has outstanding ability, the momentum is very strong, and the popularity of the people is good. The two have to compete with each other, and it's really hard to say who will win in the end.
At least now, it's a little too early to judge.
In fact, deep down, Wen Yanbo is biased towards Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin. Looking at the court in the past few years, Zhao Ji's actions are really not good? The change of law made a mess of the Great Song Dynasty, and many of their old ministers also got out of Bianjing, in addition to supporting Wang Anshi's reform of the law and cracking down on conservative officials like them. The emperor's suspicion is very important, Wen Yanbo knew in his heart that Zhao Ji was worried that a few of their respected old ministers of the Three Dynasties would be too powerful and would empty him!
There is some truth to this, but it is not appropriate to go too far. For an emperor, it is very important to be open-minded. At this point, Zhao Ji's gap is very large.
Anyway, as long as Da Song is safe and sound, he can be rich and strong, and it's nothing. From the prime minister to the governor, even if it is a huge gap, they are used to it. Between gains and losses, they are not shocked by the honor and disgrace they have experienced. They are also people with integrity and a sense of responsibility, and in the face of national interests, what is a little personal honor and disgrace?
But Zhao Ji didn't do well, and some disappointed their expectations. Especially the reuse of Wang Anshi's change of law, Wen Yanbo was very disappointed, and said a few words at first, but later he kept hiding in the place, which means that out of sight is pure.
If this continues, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably decline, and its decline is inevitable. After being in the center for many years, Wen Xianggong knew what the situation was like in the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi's letter "A Hundred Years of Nothing to Do in this Dynasty" is right, the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated a lot of paralysis. It is already gradually attacking, and if it is not rectified in time, the outbreak is inevitable. The day of the outbreak was probably the end of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji is very enthusiastic, he wants to change this status quo, Zhongxing Da Song. But I chose the wrong way, and I was too eager for quick success. In the long run, if it continues, the decline of the Great Song Dynasty will not only be unable to stop, but will also be accelerated.
Wen Yanbo was very anxious, but he was helpless, after all, the Great Song Dynasty was the world of the Zhao family, and Zhao Ji had the final say.
At this time, Zhao Zhao suddenly appeared.
Wen Yanbo has been paying attention to this person for a long time, his ability is good, and he has done many great things over the years. Such a person can become a capable minister who governs the world, his talent is good for the Great Song Dynasty, but it can't change anything, the general trend is the trend, how much influence can an ordinary courtier have?
But when he suddenly became the king of Qin from the status of a courtier, it was different. Emperor Renzong's biological son has the right to inherit the throne, and it is logical for him to sit on the throne. According to the current prestige, it is not too much to say that it is the result of public expectations.
Wen Yanbo was shocked and admired. Especially inadvertently, Zhao Zhao's strength shows that he has been planning for a long time and his means are good.
The ability and quality of the emperor determine the future of the dynasty to a certain extent. If it was the King of Qin who was in charge of the Great Song Dynasty...... Wen Yanbo has had such thoughts, and hope can be seen in Zhao Zhao.
Internally, he is very cautious about changing the law, and he does not hesitate to tell the truth in order to break with Wang Anshi. Safeguard the interests of the people. To govern the Yellow River, in order to seek justice for the people who died in vain, he did not hesitate to offend Han Qi and many other powerful people. Cherishing the people and daring to do things is an extremely valuable quality.
Externally, he has extraordinary military talents. In just one year, he opened up thousands of miles of territory for the Great Song Dynasty and successfully recovered Lanzhou City. This is a feat that has never been achieved in the past few decades. According to this rhythm, the northwest can still have greater side work.
Maybe one day in the future, the century-old pain of the Central Plains in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun can be healed. There is still the possibility of Yanshan Barrier returning to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a shame to snow the Taizong Gaoliang River fiasco in the past.
If there is this possibility, only Zhao Zhao can do it, and Zhao Zhao is powerless today. The recovery of Yanyun represents, to a certain extent, the future of the Great Song Dynasty, a hope for prosperity and strength......
Despite thinking so in his heart, Wen Yanbo did not dare to act rashly. At a time when the situation is still uncertain, it is unwise to take sides early. Although he has the future of the Great Song Dynasty in mind, he must consider himself and the interests of the Wen family when making any decision. It is impossible to get to this point without any regard for the individual and the family.
It's better to wait for the situation to become clearer before making plans. Even if you make a final decision, you should keep it low and try to be safe.
But the trouble is that his son went to Chang'an to watch, so he was involved early. After thinking about it, Wen Yanbo adopted the method of resignation, the purpose of which was to maintain a detached situation, and choose calmly after waiting and seeing.
But Zhao Ji was unwilling to give him this opportunity, and when he saw Zhu Pen's approval, Wen Yanbo smiled helplessly. wanted to try to get out of the whirlpool, but the official family had to push him in, and he couldn't help himself!
