Chapter 260: [Target Hedong]
When Zhang Fang played against Liu Biao in the palace, Shi Xian, who was supposed to be in the palace, slipped to Wang Li's mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The servants of the Wang family stood outside the hall, peeking from time to time at the person inside with a gloomy face and pacing back and forth. Look at the seal ribbon on people's waists, it is a cyan mile, a 2,000-stone official-I don't know that the 2,000-stone official in it, what he wants to do most at this moment is to take off the silver seal and green ribbon on his waist and slam it on the ground.
As a eunuch, it was not easy for Shi Xian to leave the palace once. In other words, in the past, in his golden age, it was not a problem to leave the palace, but that kind of good life, with the great prosperity of the first emperor, is gone forever. Now Shi Xian has to find a very normal and impeccable reason when he leaves the palace-there are many people in this palace who are bent on grabbing his pigtails and waiting to see his bad luck.
And Shi Xian had to come out with the risk, he really couldn't help it, what about the good Zhongshu Ling? How did you get to Changle Palace? Servant of the long letter! Serving an outdated Empress Dowager Qiongcheng, what is this!
"Hahaha, rude and rude, let Lingjun ...... Uh, that's a long wait. Wang Li, the master of the palace, smiled and bowed his hand when he entered the door.
Although Shi Xian was frustrated and angry, he still showed a peaceful smile on his face and bowed his hand.
After sitting down, Wang Li apologized again: "Li Fang just returned from the eldest brother, and I heard that the servant said that a noble person was coming, so he hurried over, and he didn't have time to wash, and forgive his sins." ”
Wang Li had such a low profile, Shi Xian didn't dare to hold it up, and he didn't even dare to say it. Now it's not what it used to be, the Wang family has jumped up, and he Shi Xian is out of breath, and he should be the one who lowers his posture.
When Shi Xian's anger was almost smooth, Wang Licai said: "Don't be too polite, the servant is really sorry for the eldest brother." The eldest brother originally wanted to ask His Majesty to retain the post of Zhongshu Order for the imperial servant, but he didn't think about it, but His Majesty proposed to dismiss the Zhongshu Order......"
Shi Xian has been squeezed out of the center of power, so the core news related to the government affairs of the court has lost its source channels, and it has to rely on Wang Li to tell him.
The backstage fell, and Shi Xian, the fox who fell from the back of the tiger, could no longer fake the tiger's power and harm people. The ministers of the DPRK and China all began to show their sharp teeth to Shi Xian. They first proposed that the Zhongshu Order should no longer be held by eunuchs, and should be reinstated as scholars.
The position of Zhongshu Ling is not exclusive to eunuchs, and scholars can also hold it. For example, during the period of Emperor Wu, Zhang Fang's ancestor Zhang Anshi served as the commander of the Zhongshu Confession. As a group of scholars, the courtiers definitely wanted to take this important position in their hands.
Liu Biao also has his own considerations, first of all, he must not let the eunuch fill the post anymore, and one Shi Xian is enough to choke. Secondly, he didn't want to get a scholar-born Zhongshu order to restrain himself, so he proposed to boycott the Zhongshu order in the court.
And the princes of the court, out of their own interests, support some and oppose others. Those who are expected to get this position naturally do not agree; Those who are not qualified and have no hope of getting this position naturally agree...... But whether for or against, one thing has been determined - the eunuch has no play.
After hearing this, Shi Xian sighed and apologized to Wang Liyi. Since the Zhongshu Order does not allow eunuchs to fill the position, it is no wonder that Wang Feng is a long-letter servant, maybe the other party said it.
"Could it be that I, Shi Xian, have been in Changle Palace for the rest of my life? No! I'm not reconciled! ”
When Shi Xian was sad and angry and had no choice but to board the Xuan car, Wang Lichang sent him off and said goodbye: "As long as the servant serves the two queen mothers wholeheartedly, even if he loses his authority, it is not difficult to keep the glory of Qinggui, which is also a fortunate thing." ”
"The Queen Mother?!" Shi Xian was shocked, looked at Wang Li who bowed his head and sent him off, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "Wang Zhonglang, don't you want to avenge your son?" ”
……
"We're going to Hedong?"
In the main hall of the Fuping Marquis Mansion, when Zhang Fang summoned the family order Zhang Jingchen, Jiacheng Deng Zhan, and the Han brothers, Qingyan, Chu Liu, Zongba, Ah Zhen, Shi Niu, Biao Jie, Qu Liang, etc., to come and announce the matter, Han Zhong asked with an excited tone. stayed in Chang'an for two whole years, which was really a bit depressing for a young man who had traveled thousands of miles.
Zhang Fang smiled and shook his head: "It's not all of them, only three people, Qingyan, Chu Liu, and Biao Jie." ”
Yes?! Everyone was surprised, although Hedong County is not far away, across the river, but there are thousands of miles away, why only bring three servants? And the "fighter" Ah Zhen in Hu Congzhong didn't bring it, this ......
"Why?" Qingyan's mouth was quick and asked the question in everyone's mind.
Zhang Fang smiled and arched his hand in the direction of Weiyang Palace: "The Holy Son of Heaven, take me as the confessor to follow the east of the river and supervise the affairs of the displaced people in the east of the Zhu River." This trip was accompanied by twenty servants sent by Weiwei Temple, so there was no need for too many people to accompany them. ”
The Han Dynasty was usually responsible for inspecting the localities, but the imperial court sometimes sent envoys to monitor the localities. For example, in the fourth year of Emperor Xuan's Yuankang, he sent 12 people, including Zhongda Fuqiang, to follow the world and "observe the gains and losses of officials". In the summer and April of the fourth year of Emperor Xuan's five phoenixes, he issued an edict saying: "Send the prime minister and the imperial history to follow the world,...... Investigate those who are harsh and prohibited, and do not change. ”
This "follow" is equivalent to the patrol of the later Song and Ming dynasties. It's just that others follow the principle of assessing the rule of officials and correcting lawlessness, while Zhang Fang's authority is limited, and he only cares about the migration of displaced people. If an illegal act is involved, the local official can be urged to deal with it, but he does not have the right to deal with it without authorization.
This is a decision made by Liu Biao after leaving Zhang Fang and talking in the Xuan Room. Naturally, it is mainly Zhang Fang's own request, for the first batch of residents of Star City in the future, he needs to personally check it, and he also needs to let them know and recognize themselves, which is very important for future immigrants and the future of Star City. Therefore, a trip to Hedong is imperative. And it has to be fast, it is the end of September now, and I have to go back to Chang'an before the end of the year.
Because it was a business trip, the imperial court had to be equipped with guards according to the system, and the situation in Hedong was quite chaotic after the disaster, and there were bandits from time to time. Under Liu Biao's special explanation, the guard commander sent a brigade to lead 20 soldiers to escort him.
In the case of twenty servants, it is inconvenient for Zhang Fang to bring more servants, only three personal servants, among which Qingyan can also be used as a maid, which is very suitable.
Zhang Jingchen was still worried about his hometown: "Although there is a Son of Heaven to protect him, he is not as reliable as his own servants after all, and it is still too few to bring only three people." ”
Deng Zhan and the following people said yes one after another, and even Ah Zhen, who couldn't speak, stepped forward and slapped his chest with a bang.
Zhang Fang said with a smile: "I said that among you, only Qingyan, Chuliu and Biao Xie will be brought - but this is not all, I will also bring a few guards from Weicheng Beizhuang to accompany me." Many of them are from Hedong, so they may be useful for this trip......"
When Zhang was talking in the hall, in the attic not far away, two young girls leaned against the window and whispered.
"Zhaojun, did you say that Gongzi would take you there?"
"No, the prince is ordered to go on patrol, and it is not appropriate to take a maidservant. It's quite suitable for Qingyan...... Hey, why do you always call me Zhaojun? ”
"Hey! Because this is the word given to you by Childe......"
What is this? Only when a woman goes out of the pavilion can she have words! Zhaojun frowned and bit his lip, embarrassed and annoyed, but he couldn't, who made that person so high-profile, full of flying lights, so that everyone knew about it.
