Chapter 859: Shaking the Government and the Opposition

It only took half a day for Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, to play the news of the request for Zhishi, and the entire Chang'an City knew about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two days later, almost the entire Dashun knew that the current saint had been allowed to play, and let Xu Chongguang return to his hometown. The resignation of the first cabinet chief assistant of Dashun after ten years has made some people breathe a sigh of relief.

But what shocked people was that the former Zaifu, who was originally very likely to enter the cabinet as the first assistant, Han Qi, who had served as the governor, fell ill. The news spread far and wide, first from the mouth of the imperial doctor.

In fact, Han Qi is not seriously ill, but he is too worried, and his heart hurts a little. Today, the saint cherishes his courtiers and lets Han Qi lie down at home to recuperate, but Han Qi is a courtier who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is very assertive, and he knows that he can't do much for the court anymore, so he immediately asked to return to his hometown.

Of course, Lu Chengqi refused to agree, Han Qi was a virtuous minister, and he already knew it when he was the first emperor. If it weren't for Han Qi's hard support, where would he be able to achieve Fan Zhongyan in the back? It was only later that he encountered a party dispute, and his political enemies instructed someone to impeach Han Qi, saying that since Yuan Shou, he has been in charge of the country, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, and "does not go to the Wende Palace", and is autocratic. The first emperor knew that he was making false accusations and dismissed many people from their official positions, but Han Qi still resolutely resigned. The first emperor couldn't keep it, so he could only let him be the envoy of Zhen'an, Wusheng Junjiedu, Situ and Shizhong, and judge Xiangzhou, and Fan Zhongyan served as the assistant with you, and opened a vigorous new policy of Yuan Shou.

Later, Han Qi asked to change his knowledge to Xiangzhou due to illness, and was called back as the third envoy in less than a year. In August, he was appointed to the Privy Councillor. In June of the second year, Han Qi worshiped the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Jixian Hall University Scholar, and in leap August, he moved to Zhaowenguan University Scholar and supervised the history of the country.

Han Qi has done an excellent job in both military and political governance, and Emperor Yuan Shou has always wanted Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan to cooperate, so that he can get rid of complicated government affairs. However, there have always been people in the DPRK who oppose it, slandering Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan Originally, they were originally from the same party, if the two were the same party, the "Great Shun was in danger", which made Emperor Yuan Shou very distressed.

Later, the New Deal failed, Fan Zhongyan was demoted, Han Qi was also demoted, and Yang Daoqi was promoted to Zaifu, and he did it until the second year of Hongxiang before he asked for a beggar bone.

Don't look at this party struggle on the surface, in fact, the swords and swords on the inside are no more dangerous than the open swords and guns.

Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan are both loyal and upright courtiers, where can they beat Yang Daoqi? So in those years, Han Qi was always depressed, until Lu Chengqi took power and took power, recalled him to the center, and restored the position of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Book Sect when Yuan Shou was in power, specifically to give advice to the imperial court.

Originally, he was very hopeful of entering the cabinet, but after the winter last year, the old illness he suffered from at the border recurred, and he had to retire and invite himself. Lu Chengqi took love twice, but he continued to play and fold, and changed his words and asked to change his mind to Xiangzhou.

After ten days, after Lu Chengqi learned that Han Qi's illness had improved, he was also afraid that this minister of the humerus would have three strengths and two shortcomings, so he finally relented and asked Han Qi to return to Xiangzhou as the official's hometown. Han Qi finally realized the wish of "the eunuch is the general, and the wealth returns to his hometown", and left Chang'an with his family with satisfaction, and also took away the ambitions of some caring people.

"I made a mistake, I didn't count Han Zhigui (Han Qi's words) and left the court under the pretext of illness!"

"Xianggong, then when you enter the cabinet, won't you lose most of your chances of winning?"

At this time, the word Xianggong is not called casually, and it is not necessary to achieve the position of Zaifu and Deputy Minister, and at least to be a privy envoy, in order to be called Xianggong.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in a four-grade official uniform, and when he looked at his face again, it was Liu Geng, a member of the Zhongshu House.

"Liu Sheren is too worried, the position of first assistant cannot be appointed if you are not a close confidant of Your Majesty, this truth should be known to you since Your Majesty took power."

The old official in front of him is also familiar, and when he looks at it again, isn't this a senior scholar and a rich man who knows the affairs of the Privy Council!

Fu Bi served as governor for three years, but he resigned due to his mother's funeral. Therefore he is called Xianggong, and he is not transgressive at all.

"Xianggong, I said so, but how many people can there be among His Majesty's cronies?" Liu Geng said a little disappreciatively, "Which of the important ministers of the court who are above forty years old is not the old man of Yuan Shou?" If you let a hairy boy come to serve as the first assistant, I'm afraid everyone will not accept it, right? ”

Fu Bi knocked on the table and said slowly: "Your Majesty naturally has Your Majesty's considerations, and there is a way that is unpredictable, how can Your Majesty's mind be able to let you understand it?" Don't think I don't know, you instigated me to come forward, but you just wanted to mix up some qualifications! ”

"Xianggong, I definitely don't have this thought, I just think that Han Xianggong went to Xiangzhou, and you are isolated in the DPRK, so you have ...... to do this."

Liu Geng will not admit that he is here to form a party for personal gain.

Fu Bi is a good person, the older he is, the more accurate he looks at things, a pair of eyes that are still shining with essence make Liu Geng hairy, and said with a smile: "The old man can't be the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is also idle." Does the old man still care about a cabinet chief! ”

Liu Gengxin said: "You are a person who has been a deputy minister, I don't care, but I care!" The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, I am in the same party with you, and I will have important positions in the future, how can Your Majesty not think of me? ”

Thinking so in his heart, but he can't say it like this, Liu Geng is also well versed in the doorways of officialdom: "Xianggong, you don't care, but you have always been regarded as a close friend of Han Xianggong, and now that Han Xianggong has gone to Xiangzhou, have you also retreated, don't you let Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang look down on them?" ”

"The two of them, one is treacherous and the other is brainless, so don't mention it. Although I cannot fathom the mind of His Majesty, they will never be the head of the cabinet. ”

Fu Bi's conclusion made Liu Geng overjoyed: "Who does the prime minister think is the most likely?" ”

"Looking at the government and the opposition, there is not one!"

Fu Bi is a good person, where will he be talked to by a Liu Geng?

"Well, but I've been by Your Majesty's side for many years, and I've seen Your Majesty and Wen Yanbo get very close? Whenever there is any difficulty in political affairs, he will issue an order to summon Wen Yanbo into the palace and ask alone...... "Liu Geng did not give up and continued to talk."

"It's impossible to get closer! Not to mention Wen Yanbo, there are too many flowers, and His Majesty must be worried about whether he will disobey the new policy. The New Deal is His Majesty's most complacent policy, how can he tolerate Wen Yanbo's criticism? Even if Wen Yanbo is a little capable, he doesn't know how much worse his vision is compared to His Majesty! Fu Bi said sharply.

"What about Sima Guang?" Liu Geng pondered it carefully, and it seemed that this was the truth, but he still asked without giving up.

"Sima Guang? Not to mention, this person admits death, His Majesty is looking for help, not uncomfortable. His Majesty wants a person who is with the mud, but this person must be able to convince the public, so that his virtue can be top-notch......" Fu Bi calmly analyzed. (To be continued.) )
