Chapter 404: Two Tigers Fight
Not going?
Di Guangyuan was taken aback.
Dad is Shangshu Zuocheng, he didn't get the edict not to go to Chang'an, how can he say that he won't go, he opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw that his father had already put his hands behind his back, he went back to the study directly.
Di Guangyuan was busy catching up, he realized that it was really not good to talk here, and when he arrived in the study, he closed the door tightly, and only a little light came in from the room, looking at Di Renjie with an obscure face, Di Guangyuan couldn't help but say: "Father...... What's going on? The imperial court wants to build the Vientiane Shrine? This...... It is indeed very inappropriate, Luoyang City repairs this shrine, the cost is huge, and if the son ascends the throne today, it should be reformed, how can he go to Chang'an, and follow the emperor's great joy, this is ...... It's not proper, but ...... Father, Your Majesty is precisely because of his trust in his father, so he hopes that after his father arrives in Chang'an, he will help keep an eye on the construction of the Vientiane Shrine, even if his father refuses to repair, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, write a letter, and resist fiercely, with his father's popularity, he will definitely be recognized by many people of insight, which is just right for His Majesty to dispel this idea, which is ...... Isn't it a merit? ”
Di Guangyuan's heart jumped, of course he knew that his father's reaction today was really a bit abnormal, although his father had a big temper, he was by no means a person who didn't know the severity, at this time, how could he say that if he didn't go to Chang'an, he wouldn't go to Chang'an. But......
Di Renjie was just silent.
Di Guangyuan was anxious: "If my father doesn't go, wouldn't it just happen to give people a grip, these days, my father hasn't always said that it's an eventful time, father, it's an eventful time, and we should be more cautious." ”
Di Renjie raised his eyes and said, "Yes, it's eventful, so I have already made a decision for my father." Chang'an is not going, not only will not go, but also write a letter to the old man to resign, this official ...... Don't do it. ”
What the......
Di Guangyuan was really stunned, his father was a person with great ambitions, thinking that at the beginning, Wu Zetian ascended the throne, and someone falsely accused his father, so his father was implicated. was demoted and went to Jiangnan West Road, and his father did not complain about it, but said to his brothers that no matter where he went to be an official, he was the master of the people, and governing a state would benefit the people of a state.
But now...... My father actually wanted to hang up the crown and leave.
Di Guangyuan said in surprise: "Father......"
Di Renjie pressed his hand and sighed. Said: "My father knows what you are thinking, do you feel sorry for it, or do you think it is ...... Didn't it get to this point? You're wrong, the Son of Heaven didn't want to build any Vientiane Shrine at all. ”
Di Guangyuan's brows furrowed even tighter. It's a bit confusing.
The Son of Heaven does not repair the Vientiane Divine Palace, but he still gives an edict to do something? Is it funny?
Di Renjie said again: "Now, all the edicts in the world are in the hands of Empress Wei. This edict is no exception, she is not going to repair the palace. Instead, he told the Father, and the Father could go. Don't you understand? When the emperor wanted to build the Vientiane Shrine, the old man was the first to stand up against it, and Empress Wei didn't know about this? But on the contrary, she still asked her husband to go to Chang'an to supervise the construction of the Vientiane Shrine, why is this? This is forcing the father into a corner, if the father refuses, it is disrespectful, if the father is opposed, Webster must insist on going his own way, and he has to repair for the father. The matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, just like the emperor has to build the Vientiane Divine Palace, if this 'Son of Heaven' also has to repair the Vientiane Divine Palace, how can the old man oppose it, is it useful? What if he built this Vientiane Shrine for his father? ”
Speaking of this, Di Renjie paused and said with a wry smile: "If you really cultivate for your father, then what kind of face does your father have, and live in the world, even if the world knows that being a father is a last resort, but can you pass this level for your father?" At the beginning, everyone said that the emperor insulted his courtiers too much, and treated them as pigs and dogs. But even so, although the emperor wants to repair the Vientiane Divine Palace, he is only silent and speechless, and it is impossible for the father to preside over this matter, but now...... Webster did this, the implication is actually to let his father obediently abdicate and let Xian, if his father is in a high position today, he will ...... tomorrow It's not an edict for the father to go to the Vientiane Shrine, their Wei family doesn't want to let the father stay in the temple, how can the father stay anymore? ”
Di Guangyuan's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but say resentfully: "How can this be reasonable, they ...... It's too much...... Don't...... Is there no justice in this world? However, the son thought that they might not have this in mind, otherwise they would really want to remove their father from his official position, so why bother. ”
Looking at this innocent son, Di Renjie just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They won't be dismissed as the father and the local official, the father is a bit of a false name, if they directly dismiss the official, it will inevitably lead people to reverie, making people think that the 'Son of Heaven' can't allow the virtuous ministers to be in the court, so until the last moment, they will never make such a decision, they drove away Cui Gong, this time they want to squeeze the old man aside, but on the contrary, there is no excuse, so I have to wait for the father to 'take the initiative' to ask for resignation." If it were the old man a few years ago, he would never let them get their wish, but today, after the son of heaven of my Li family ascended the throne, many things, the old man has seen clearly, in this world, whether it is surnamed Wu or surnamed Li, what is the difference, just like in this temple, whether there is a father or not, and what difference will there be? Jackals, tigers and leopards are still jackals, tigers and leopards after all, you drove away a tiger, and the last one to come, nine times out of ten, is not a saint, it may just be a hungry wolf. There are some things, you and my father and son can say behind closed doors, you must not spread the word, above this temple, there are all tigers and wolves, even if there is an old man, what can be helped? People, don't look down on yourself, manpower is endless, so why not retreat bravely from the rapids. You don't have to persuade anymore, at this time, in fact, I can't allow the old man to have any expectations, now...... That's the only way, the old man is not feeling well today, you come to draft a note for the old man, the words should be more earnest, this Chang'an, you don't have to go, you see more jackals everywhere, it's not interesting, a few of you, stay in Luoyang. ”
Di Guangyuan was depressed, he couldn't imagine that his father was a good scholar, Zuo Cheng, and such a high position as the deputy prime minister was actually just an edict, and he completely became a cloth cloth.
But he didn't hesitate, as his father said, since it was Empress Wei's intention, it was clearly deliberately difficult, and he had to keep his father away from the temple, so even if he was forced to stay, it didn't seem to be interesting.
He hated the Wei family in his heart, but he knew that the Wei family was now powerful, and he felt helpless in his heart.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Approaching the end of the year, batches of imperial court officials and forbidden troops began to set off towards Chang'an, and these days, there have been a lot of major events.
On the one hand, it was Di Renjie's resignation that shocked many people, everyone knows that Di Renjie is Cui Jing's person, and he doesn't deal with the people of the Wei family, but this is just the beginning, and the dignified Shangshu Zuo Cheng became a grass citizen overnight, which is also unpredictable.
Although this is Di Renjie's initiative, people with a heart can always detect clues from it, so they can't help but be a little more afraid of the Wei family.
It turns out that although the Wei family is sometimes quite easy to talk to, when they really want to rectify people, they will never tolerate it.
Di Renjie's request to go, after all, it is difficult for people to hold on to anything, after all, this is not a dismissal, but a resignation, and the court is also quite 'appreciative' of Di Renjie's 'knowledge', and it is indispensable to give some honors, of course...... These things are just for show.
The Di family completely faded out of the temple, which also means that the Qinghe Cui family no longer has the capital to stand on the temple.
As for this second sensational event, it is none other than the king of Liang and the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Wu Sansi, who took office as the governor of Henan Mansion.
The dignified King Liang has officially become a mansion Yin, this kind of groundbreaking thing is really shocking. Although in later generations, during the Northern Song Dynasty, often the prince was appointed as the Jingshi Mansion Yin Di rules, but the Tang Dynasty, but there has never been such a precedent, not to mention, this Mansion Yin is just a positive three products, and the dignified Ministry of Rites Shangshu is much higher than this grade, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is at least nominally, is the head of the six departments, almost half a foot, has already stepped into the three provinces, become Zaifu, such a person, was actually sent to the nominally called the Eastern Capital, but it is by no means Kyoto's Henan Mansion.
So, all kinds of rumors are very loud, some people think that this is a signal that the Wei family wants to clean up the Wu family, but soon, this rumor is no longer cared about, because next, many children of the Wu family have been taken care of, Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun was promoted to the general of the flying cavalry, this grace, obviously the Wei family is very relieved of the Wu family, and an important force to defend Chang'an in the future is directly handed over to the Wu family.
Some people seemed to understand something, and they suddenly felt that the situation had become interesting, because they suddenly found that in this Luoyang, there seemed to be two big Buddhas, one of them, naturally it was Qin Shaoyou, the incoming governor of Henan Prefecture, this person's title was not low, but the king of Hongnong County, and the other, the title and seniority seemed to be better, although it was only for Henan Mansion Yin, but Henan Mansion Yin was only under the general administration, and it was an independent institution, and the decree of Henan Mansion was still out of his hands after all.
