Chapter 20: The Wind Begins at the End of Qingping Five
Of course, there are still winners, and there is only one, and that is Pei Jun. Li Jifu, who was unable to protect himself, was no longer able to stop Pei Jun, and he finally got the bone shot by Shangshu's right servant as he wished. Now, let's go back and think about it, we have to sigh that although Pei Jun is a dog, he is an extremely cunning and insidious dog, he only used a rumor to successfully repel Li Jifu, and to do this, he must be a master who is proficient in psychology. Because, he must have insight into the psychology of Prime Minister Li Jifu, the psychology of Li Chun, the Son of Heaven, and the psychology of the Manchu Dynasty. Then, it is necessary to successfully exploit the character and psychology of these people, so that they can pinch each other so that they can profit from it. Sure enough, in order to clear himself, Li Jifu pushed Pei Yan and the others out. In order to vent his anger to his colleagues, Bai Juyi united all the Hanlin scholars and kicked Li Jifu out of Chang'an. Pei Jun, on the other hand, hid in a dark corner and smiled sinisterly.
However, in the final analysis, a dog is a dog after all, and no matter how cunning and insidious it is, it will never be able to escape the bad root nature of being rampant. Pei Jun, who became Shangshu's right servant, was very proud and rampant. Once, Pei Jun went to court and stood down in a place beyond his position, and Cheng Lutan bowed to him in the imperial history and asked him to retreat to his position, but the arrogant Pei Jun refused. Lu Tan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "In the past, when Yao Nanzhong served as a servant, his position was here. Pei Jun asked disdainfully: "Who is Yao Nanzhong?" Lu Tan replied in a dignified manner: "It is a person who adheres to the right path and refuses to make friends with the powerful and favored ministers." ”
Isn't that just scolding me? Pei Jun is not stupid, not stupid at all, of course he can hear Lutan's off-strings. So Pei Jun was very angry, and the consequences were very serious: Lu Tan's official work could not continue. A high-ranking and powerful imperial historian Zhongcheng soon became a petty official, a petty official named Youshuzi.
Although the perverse Pei Jun is very cunning, he does not understand that there is a force that is invincible, and his name is justice, or justice. Therefore, this kind of person is not destined to be complacent for long. Sure enough, in the position of Shangshu's right servant, Pei Jun's ass had already been driven out of Chang'an before he could sit hot, and he was appointed as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao. However, Pei Jun, an old boy, has been in the prime minister for more than ten years, and he has done all the bad things, and then he was able to die well, which is also a big pity, there is no way, God doesn't open his eyes!
In any case, when a person dies, he always has to write an epitaph, which was the fashion of the Tang Dynasty, and the family of the deceased was often willing to spend a lot of money in exchange for an ode to the deceased. Of course, the person who wrote the epitaph must have an identity, status, fame, and literary brilliance, and only in this way can the deceased have glory. The ideal candidate in Pei Jun's son's mind is Wei Guanzhi. It seems that Pei Jun's son is far less smart than his father, either his head was kicked by a donkey, or he was squeezed by the door! You don't think about it, back then, it was because of your father, Wei Guanzhi couldn't be a good Beijing official, and he was beaten to Bazhou, which is poor and bad. Let him write an epitaph for your dead ghost daddy, sleep in a daze, you!
In fact, even if there is no such thing, Wei Guanzhi and Pei Jun can't pee in the same pot. Because, two people, one is upright and the other is gloomy, obviously water and fire are incompatible, and ice and charcoal are different furnaces! However, Pei Jun's son doesn't understand this, he only believes in one thing: money. As long as the price is high enough, the transaction will be done. Therefore, in order to impress Wei Guanzhi, who has a reputation of "integrity", Pei Jun's son made a bloody investment, and he expressed his willingness to take out 10,000 horses of silk as a pen. But his hot face was firmly attached to Wei Guanzhi's cold buttocks: he publicly said: Pei Jun is the godson of Lieutenant Zuo Shencejun, and he was too close to eunuchs during his lifetime, and he would never be in the same league with such people, even if I starved to death, I would not write this epitaph for him.
In this regard, I can only say one word "should" to Pei Jun.
Time can dilute many things, such as memories, such as emotions. A few years passed in a flash, and the three-year policy of Yuan He was gradually forgotten, and Pei Yan also resigned because of serious illness. So, Li Chun lost no time in transferring Li Jifu back to Chang'an and letting him re-ascend to the phase. In the eyes of Li Chun and Li Jifu, the dust has finally settled on Yuanhe's three-year policy proposal, and the matter should be over here. But in fact, they were wrong, and they were outrageously wrong. Time can indeed dilute many things, but there are also many things that cannot be diluted or washed away, such as hatred.
Among the three people involved in the policy, Huangfu was repeatedly degraded because of his reputation and morale, and most of his life was either in and out of the shogunate, or he sank into the subordinates. But the other two people who suffered with him, Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin, became the protagonists of the future officialdom, the Zhumen Yuhu of Chang'an, and they can be seen everywhere. Also, Yang Yuling, the examiner who was innocently implicated back then, also has a very promising son, his name is Yang Sifu, naturally, the three of them came together and formed a friend party, known as the Niu Party. Of course, Li Jifu at that time had turned into a pinch of dust, but it was unfortunate, or very coincidental, Li Jifu also had a very competitive son, his name was Li Deyu. In this case, it is only right that the father and the son repay the debt! Niu Shengru, Li Zongmin and Yang Sifu organized a group to attack Li Deyu. Li Deyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, naturally not to be outdone, you will form a group, won't I? The regiment formed by Li Deyu is the well-known "Li Party." In addition to Li Deyu, the backbone members of the Li Party also include Zheng Qin, and the poet Li Shen who wrote the immortal famous sentence "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil". Since then, the Niu Li Party Struggle, which has nothing to do but nothing but right and no wrong, has become the main theme of that period and has been written into the history of the late Tang Dynasty. The late Tang, the dying patient, perished in the endless quarrels day after day.
