Chapter Eighty-Three: The Crowning of the King
Chapter Eighty-Three: The King (I)
In the days that followed, Li Bao spent most of his time on the selection of officials in the Inner Education Division.
Liu Jixin didn't know if he was really frightened by Li Bao, or if he was told by his godfather, anyway, Li Bao's reform action in the Inner Teaching Workshop Division went on smoothly without resistance.
The administrative musicians in the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty included the Liyuan Jiaofang Envoy, the Jiaofang Envoy, the Jiaofang Deputy Envoy, the Metropolitan Judge, the Judge, the Dudu Zhi and the Duzhi, etc., Li Bao served as the Liyuan Envoy, Liu Jixin was punished as the Deputy Envoy of the Jiaofang, and other administrative positions, Li Bao did not move.
Li Bao now has no need or strength to tear his face with the eunuchs, so if he can be false and wronged, it is better not to move them first.
As for professional official positions such as Dr. Yinsheng and Xielulang, Li Baodu used the regulations on the selection of officials to invite Li Keji and the respected old musicians and dance masters of the internal teaching workshop to be judges and re-elect them.
In the end, Shi Kangan lived up to expectations, and the selection results were excellent, and Li Bao justifiably appointed him to the position of the first Dr. Cao Yinsheng. After the election meeting, everyone in the Inner Education Workshop Department was jubilant and dejected. But when Liu Jixin clamped his tail, no one dared to scare Li Bao's tiger whiskers.
Next, Li Bao wants to rectify the left and right teaching workshops outside the palace, which is the top priority of the teaching workshop system. But at this time, Li Bao got bad news, and the source of the news was Hu Sanbao's intelligence network.
In the middle of February of the thirteenth year of Xiantong (892), Hu Sanbao came to Li Bao's study to report to him the recent intelligence summary.
Hu Sanbao informed Li Bao of the information he had recently heard. Many officials of the outer dynasties have recently unified to the official Li Luo, and they basically said one thing: the six princes in the harem, Li Bao, the seventh princes, and the eight princes are getting older, and it is not suitable to continue to stay in the inner garden, and they must be crowned kings according to the laws of the ancestors.
In addition to the foreign officials, the eunuchs in the palace, except for Tian Xianchen, also thought that Li Yi expressed the same will, which is not the worst, and Concubine Guo Shufei also blew the pillow wind in front of the officials.
With the joint efforts of many parties, the official family has already moved the idea of becoming a king. As for when the edict will be issued, there is no clear information.
After Li Bao heard about this, he was shocked, he had read the historical materials of Zhaozong in later generations, which clearly recorded: Zhaozong Li Ye was named King Shou at the beginning, his name was Li Jie, he was crowned king in April of the thirteenth year of Xiantong (892), and he was named at the same time as King Ji Li Bao and King Mu Li Yi.
But now that such a change has happened, Li Bao is very panicked. It's only February now, and since Li Yi has already moved the idea of sealing the king, I'm afraid that the edict is also a matter of the near future. In February at the latest, Li Bao, the king of low Ji, Li Jie, the king of Shou, and Li Yi, the king of Mu, will be enthroned.
Is it because I, the wings of a little butterfly, have flapped the wheels of history and changed the direction of history? Although it is only a two-month gap, once history changes, will the world of the future be the same world when I came?
Li Bao thought so, but there was no need to feel too much at this time, anyway, he couldn't go back to verify it, and the current thing was still going to be natural.
Thinking that once he was crowned king, he would only have to move to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion to live, and his actions would inevitably be restricted by the eunuchs at that time. What to do?
Li Bao thought that his industrial layout had just begun, and once he fell into the hands of the eunuchs, the industrial layout outside the palace would inevitably be affected, and the business partners he had managed to gather would also lose confidence in himself, and the future of Shanhe Society would be worried.
The Shanhe Society was affected, and his plan to retreat in the stormy war at the end of the Tang Dynasty would also be affected. That's the most important thing.
"I have to do something!" Li Bao said to himself, Hu Sanbao listened to what Li Bao said, and also said: "We must take action!" ”
Li Bao turned his mind to look at Hu Sanbao and said to him: "San'er, you are doing well, let's go to Xuanhui Academy to find Tian Zhijun." ”
In the embassy office of the South Courtyard of Xuanhui Academy, Tian Xianchen received Li Bao's master and servant.
Tian Xianchen knew exactly what Li Bao meant, so he didn't say anything, and only let Li Bao taste the tea first.
Tian Xianchen picked up the teacup and said to Li Bao: "This tea is the sparrow tongue tea in Shu, and it is made in accordance with the "fried tea method" that Lang Jun said before as soon as it sprouts in the new year. The brewing is also brewed according to Lang Jun's usual method, although it is not the tea before the Qingming rain, but it is not much worse, please try it. ”
Li Bao picked up the teacup, put it between his nose and kiss, sniffed its fragrance deeply, and was immediately refreshed. In the cup, the tea leaves float and sink and linger with the orange and yellow tea. The tea leaves are slowly stretched out under the soak of hot water, and the tea leaves of the buds are indeed like a sparrow's tongue. I took a sip of the fragrant fragrance and spleen, mellow and a little bitter, left between the lips and teeth, and had a long aftertaste.
Li Bao put down the teacup and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, indeed good tea, good tea in Shu, it's true!" ”
Tian Xianchen smiled indifferently: "This kind of tea only costs two or three catties a year, and this kind of tea can't be enjoyed by the official family, and it can only be enjoyed when he is an envoy of the Xuanhui Academy." ”
Li Bao listened to Tian Xianchen's words, and realized in his heart that this kind of good thing, the more precious and rare it is, it depends on whether the situation is dedicated to the official family. Later generations of Lord Wei understood this truth, and he also understood this truth.
Of course, at this time, Tian Xianchen said that when he talked about this tea matter, he was just saying a truth: as an official, he didn't want anything. Just like at this time, the courtiers unanimously demanded that the official family could only agree, otherwise the courtiers would not agree, and the official family would not be able to get away.
From this point of view, being an emperor may not be a first-class enjoyment, especially the emperor in the late Tang Dynasty, who had to look at the faces of his courtiers all the time, which was really aggrieved.
Li Bao knew that Tian Xianchen was bothering to enlighten himself, and he didn't come to be the king, so he said straight to the point: "I didn't come to Tian Yuanjun here for the official family's king, but for other things." ”
Tian Xian Qiqi said: "What is the so-called matter of Liulangjun? ”
"I'm here for the matter of Luyan's Yuebin Restaurant, about the matter of the king, Tian Yuanjun already understands, and I have nothing to do about it, so I have to go with the flow. I'm here to get the things done with the restaurant before I become king. Then even if I move to the Sixteen Kings' Mansion, the plans of the Shanhe Society this year will not be too affected. ”
Tian Xianchen listened to Li Bao's words and said with a smile: "Liulangjun didn't mention me, but I forgot, a while ago, Yang Siguang from the manor came to me to show his loyalty, and told me about the restaurant, and asked me how to deal with it." I had just arrived, and I didn't care about the tedious affairs. It turns out that this guy came here to take advantage of this to befriend me and then make friends with Liulangjun, what a deep scheming! ”
Li Bao smiled: "Then the envoy still plans to keep it?" It's better to find a chance to get rid of this guy and save me from looking annoyed. ”
Tian Xianxuan said: "At present, this person cannot be removed, he has already attached Guo Shufei's younger brother, Guo Jingshu, the inner workshop." I have just taken office, and it is not appropriate to touch him lightly. ”
Li Baoqi said: "How is Guo Jingshu about this person?"
Tian Xianchen continued: "This person was a gentleman in the market in his early years, his father was the imperial history of the court at that time, and later Concubine Guo Shufei was fortunate to enter the official family who was still in the palace at that time because of her beauty. Later, Guo Shufei's family fell in the middle of the road, Guo Jingshu also became a scoundrel in the square, and later the official family ascended the throne, and this guy also became the uncle of the country. ”
"Oh, how is this man doing?" Li Bao asked.
"Guo Jingshu is greedy and despicable, especially lustful, and the families of many officials in Beijing have been harassed by him, because he has Guo Shufei behind him, coupled with Wei Baoheng's protection, he is even more domineering."
"By the way, there's one more thing. After Yang Gongqing's death, Yang Siguang won the support of Guo Jingshu, and was stunned to embezzle some of the Yang family's property and land. Yang Gongqing's wife Wei bullied very unbearable, Wei's elder brother Guozi Siye Wei Yinyu went to Guo Jingshu to theorize, but was beaten half to death by Guo Jingshu, and now life and death are unknown. ”
When Li Bao heard this, he didn't react except for a little pity for Wei, after all, these people have nothing to do with him.
"By the way, Ling Lang Tian Ling Yu, how did Tian Envoy Jun settle it?"
"Oh, San Lang and I also let him stay in the Gate Division, after all, he is only under Wu Yipin now, which is conducive to our actions." After that, Tian Xianchen smiled at Li Bao.
Li Bao also tacitly acknowledged to Tian Xianxuan, this method of overthrowing officials, these old oilmen in the officialdom are much more skilled than themselves. He remembered that Tian Lingzi was here, this guy has not made a career yet, and he has to get close to him.
So Li Bao continued: "Tian Lingzi Tian Xiao Envoy, how does Tian Envoy Jun arrange? I won't let him stay there at the Ponyon. ”
"Qilang I have asked him to take over as the envoy of the five squares, he is very good at dealing with people and things, and the envoys of the five squares are just right for him. Of course, I didn't forget to remind him that he was promoted to this position because of Rokuro-kun's support. ”
Li Bao listened to Tian Xianjun's words, and then excused himself from Tian Xianchen: "Tian Zhijun said that Tian Zhijun laughed, Tian Qilang was able to ascend to the top because of Tian Xiangjun's support and his own ability, where is half the credit of Bao?" ”
Tian Xianchen said: "Liulang Jun should be polite, don't say that he can even have today thanks to Lang Jun." A certain has always been in my heart, and there will be a return to Lang Jun in the future. ”
Li Bao hurriedly excused himself and said sincerely: "Tian Zhijun is really polite, Bao Neng has today, and Tian Zhijun's care, Bao has always kept it in mind, so he found an opportunity to repay Tian Yuanjun's kindness." ”
Tian Xianchen looked at Li Bao so sincerely, his heart was warm, thinking of such a prince, treating people sincerely, and knowing how to repay his kindness, he bet on him, which is really right.
What Tian Xianchen said just now that there will be a good reward in the future means that he wants to support Li Bao to ascend to the throne, but it is too early to say it now, so he will take it to heart first.
But Li Bao didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "There is one more thing, I want to ask Tian Zhijun, among Yang Gongqing's righteous sons, there is a Yang Siqi, I once promised him to give him a good future, and now I want Tian Yuanjun to give him a hand, okay?" ”
Tian Xianchen promised to promote a eunuch, which is not a difficult thing for the current Xuanhui Yuan Tian Envoy.
Li Bao and Tian Xianchen discussed the matter of handing over the Yuebin Restaurant, and the two sides agreed to send someone to hand over the restaurant two days later, and the price was agreed to be 30,000 yuan, Li Bao was very satisfied with the price and then said goodbye to Tian Xianchen except for the Xuanhui Academy.
Walking on the way back to Jinluan Palace, Li Baozheng wanted to hum a little song to express his happy mood, but he heard a shout from behind: "Liulangjun, please stay!" ”
