Chapter 447: Ambition (Part II)
Song Jiu didn't want him to destroy the unity of Xifu, so he said that Wang Chu was shorter than military affairs, but better than officials, and was transferred to Dongfu.
Wang Wei believed that it was true, and in fact he also had a strong sense of power.
Li Fang is here, Wang Wei is very honest, he is an old man of the two countries and three dynasties, no matter how much he does nothing, he does not dare to make small moves. After Zhao Pu came up, he was more honest.
Zhao Pu went down, did I have to be honest with Lu Mengzheng? It just so happened that Lu Meng was serious and sloppy, which gave Wang Wei a chance. So he began to take care of a lot of books in Zhongshu, plus he was shrewd, he could observe his face, and he made Zhao Kuangyi's fart comfortable, so he gradually snatched the power from Lu Mengzheng's hands bit by bit.
But he made a fatal flaw, that is, he was not honest in life.
At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a suspicious country from the time of Zhao Dashi, and because of the taboo of the minister's excessive power, he was very unhappy with the minister's banquet at home, and the prime minister was even more severe. Of course, it's not impossible, but everyone is paying attention.
Therefore, including Song Jiu, there are very few officials who meet at home, especially when he and Zhao Pu have a banquet in Changqing Tower, which is even more attention-grabbing. Therefore, whether the officials are on official or private affairs, they all go to Zhongshu or Xifu to find the prime minister when they are on duty. It depends on it, if it is Song Jiu, Zhao Pu, and Lu Duoxun, they are not allowed to meet unless they are on official business. However, if you are loose, you can often meet with hundreds of officials a day, and 90% of them are in the nature of private requests.
In fact, including Li Fang, they were also selectively received, otherwise they received hundreds of officials a day. Don't talk about watching beautiful girls sing and dance, and don't deal with official documents, even these hundred officials talk one by one, and they have to be busy from morning to night.
However, Wang Wei began to let him go, and every day he made the Chinese book like a reception room.
Lu Mengzheng frowned, thinking that this kid likes to meet guests, let him be, and then hid aside and silently reviewed the official documents.
There is nothing wrong with liking liveliness, and Wang Wei likes to show off favors, regardless of whether he can do it or not. But anyone asks for help. All yes. In fact, Dongfu can't be in charge of all affairs, and many major affairs must be handed over to Zhao Kuangyi as the final decision. Besides, there is a Lu Mengzheng above him.
Therefore, Wang Wei took the benefit fee and promised people sweetly, but he broke his trust one by one afterwards. Breaking one or two promises is not a big problem. You can understand. However, most promises were broken. What will these officials think? And so there were more and more people who hated him.
Zhao Kuangyi faintly heard a little. It was not that he was disappointed in Wang Wei, but that he was a little disappointed in Lu Mengzheng.
Wang Wei was a governor of the government, just like the privy deputy envoy of the Western Mansion. It is a supervisor, a facilitator, and an investigator, but not a decision-maker, and can be changed at any time.
Since listening to Song Jiu take a comet astronomy class, coupled with disasters year after year, he has looked down on natural disasters, and even his enthusiasm for building temples has faded. Natural disasters don't blame you, but as the prime minister, you have to run the East Mansion well, Zhao Pu recommended it, Song Jiu recommended it, Zhao Kuangyi was also full of expectations for Lu Mengzheng, but now.
Governing the country is like governing the family, these years, whether it is Zhao Pu, or Lu Duoxun, or Song Jiu, or Song Qi and Li Fang, at least there will be no such out-of-control situation in the east and west. The department can't control it, and the world's big and small government affairs?
But Zhao Kuangyi doesn't blame Song Jiu and Zhao Pu, it's himself, who can he find to take over as prime minister? Just one Song Jiu can rest assured, but for the time being, he really can't leave Xifu, except for Song Jiu, who will he go to?
Therefore, I want to look at more talents.
So he called Song Jiu and asked, "Who can take over Kou Zhun?" ”
Song Jiu was a little confused and looked at Zhao Kuangyi.
Zhao Kuangyi said: "The locust plague in the spring of this year is serious, I'm afraid it will ......"
After he finished speaking, both the monarch and the minister smiled bitterly. There has been no movement on the Liao side for the past two years, first, I am afraid that Li Jilong will suffer, and second, they also have to rest and recuperate. But this precious time has been plagued by disasters. In the spring, there was another particularly large locust plague, and it seems that this year we will have to continue to "rest and recuperate." However, Song Jiu finally understood what Zhao Kuangyi meant, and he was anxious to use Xiao Kou.
However, this candidate made Song Jiu feel embarrassed, not only the governor of Cangzhou, but even the candidate who initiated the plan in the future, but not only that, this is a candidate who intends to cultivate a privy envoy for the imperial court in the future.
Song Jiu hesitated and said, "How is Lu Duan?" ”
Xue has been hidden for many years, although he was Zhao Tingmei's person for a time, but Zhao Tingmei has also been dead for many years, which is easy to use.
"No, I'm going to reuse this person too."
"Your Majesty said that you are planning for the future?"
Zhao Kuangyi's forehead.
"This is a little difficult to do, it can be seen, His Majesty will be reused one by one, and if you can't see it for the time being, the minister can't see it either."
"Therefore, I consulted with Qing."
"There is a candidate for the minister, how about Bi Shi'an?"
Zhao Kuangyi shook his head.
This person is very famous, but he has served as Zhao Yuanxi's palace secretary for a long time to join the army, although he is now promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin, but there are many twists and turns in the middle. Song Jiu sighed in his heart, thinking that Lu Mengzheng was very likely to be sad. Although Zhao Kuangyi was cultivating Zhao Yuanxi, he was still wary of his son, but Lu Mengzheng didn't know that he was so close to Zhao Yuanxi......
However, Song Jiu didn't know how to persuade Lu Mengzheng, it was difficult to say to Lu Mengzheng that if he got into the imperial power, neither father nor son!
Song Jiu meditated in his heart, and after a while, he said, "How is Song Xiang?" ”
This person is a five-year jinshi of Taiping Xingguo, that is, like Xiaokou and them, he has not been an official for a long time, but his reputation is not small. After his father's death, he was promoted to Jinshi, and his uncle Wen Shu was later Zhou Jinshi. His father died early, but Song Xiang and his brother Song Mi were inspirational and hard-working, and their mother was filial. Uncle Wen Shu once stroked his back and said, this son is a real national weapon, and he hates my brother for not being able to see him.
But the most famous thing for him is Yang Huizhi, Zhao Kuangyi proposed the prodigy Yang Yi, Yang Zhengzhi disagreed, but admired his nephew Song Xiang, thinking that Song Xiang was the national weapon. He is currently serving as the Sentencing Department.
That is, he is famous, but his true talent may not have been shown, and there is no need to reuse him for the time being.
Zhao Kuangyi thought for a while and said, "It's him." ”
It is better to be able to reuse in the future, but not to reuse. I believe that it doesn't matter if you know a Cangzhou problem.
So the two governments began a major transfer.
First dismissed Zhang Hong, this person's talent is relatively poor, plus there is a strong Song Jiu and a capable Zhang Qixian in Xifu, so it disappeared completely, that is, Wang Xian can still help occasionally, but Zhang Hong has nothing to do except see the officials working hard.
In fact, after hearing the edict saying that he would be dismissed as a servant of the ministry, Zhang Hong felt fortunate instead, not that he didn't want to do things, but he didn't understand military affairs. How to do things. It's okay to save the embarrassment of staying in Xifu. In particular, the outside world is talking about it, saying that the Xifu during the Chunhua period is the strongest Xifu since the founding of the Song Dynasty, but when it comes to this strongest Xifu. If you are cowardly and incompetent, you will be turned out and discussed. Is it uncomfortable?
There was one more person who disappeared. Xin Zhongfu, this person is somewhat similar to Huang Ba, the first local good official in the Western Han Dynasty, who has made great achievements in local politics. No one can do it, but when I get to Zaifu, I can't do anything.
At the beginning, Song Jiu praised him because of his local political achievements, and Zhao Kuangyi also agreed. After the facts arrived in the Chinese book, even Zhao Pu couldn't stand it.
He was also removed from office in this change.
However, unlike Zhang Hong, after hearing Song Jiu refer to Xin Zhongfu as Huang Ba, Zhao Kuangyi laughed. Therefore, although he was dismissed from the post of deputy minister, he was hired for his outstanding achievements in the locality, especially in Bashu.
Then it was proposed that Zhang Qixian and Chen Shu should serve as governors, and Zhang Xun, Wen Zhongshu and Kou Zhun would be privy deputy envoys.
Zhang Xun has been doing things in Xifu for a long time, although his ability is a little worse, but like Wang Xian, there are not many things, and Song Jiu likes it if he doesn't have many things.
I don't know much about Wen Zhongshu and Song Jiu, he was recommended by Lu Mengzheng, and Song Jiu also heard a story that when Wen Zhongshu was in charge of Fenzhou, he had an affair with the maidservant of the prison army, and the prison army was not convinced and appealed, and was reduced to a commoner. Wen Zhongshu had to come to the capital in poverty, and ran up and down in order to be used by the imperial court again, and tasted the warmth of the world in that year. Fortunately, his good friend Lu Mengzheng arrived in Zhongshu and restarted Wen Zhongshu. It's okay, people make mistakes sometimes.
Moreover, Wen Zhongshu gave the order, and when he had not yet gone to Xifu, Lu Mengzheng recommended to Song Jiu again, this buddy of mine is a talent, and I hope that Song Gong will give him more support.
Song Jiu did not say whether it was a talent or not, he had to observe before he could determine. After all, there are some differences between the talents of the West Mansion and the East Mansion, these Jinshi have not stayed in the Biansai, do they understand military affairs? Or Fenzhou, is that the Hedong front?
But there are ardent hopes for Xiao Kou Song Jiu.
However, as soon as Xiao Kou arrived in Xifu, he immediately had a problem and began to take care of everything, Song Jiu laughed and said: "Ping Zhong, Mo Xue Wang Wei, makes people laugh and be generous." ”
"Song Gong, I was wrong."
"There is nothing wrong with it, daring to take responsibility is a symbol of fame, and I used to serve as a counselor and governor in Zhongshu and dealt with many affairs decisively. But the heart should be pure. ”
"Gong Song, I understand, don't worry, I won't be ashamed to learn from Wang Wei if I want to learn like that."
Then Kou Zhun was even more big-packed.
Song Jiu was even more ridiculous, and after thinking about it, forget it, the spring locust plague finally eased, once the plan was implemented, Xifu must have a competent candidate before he could go down, so he cooperated with Kou Zhun instead, and then carefully taught him on the side, where to do right and where to do wrong.
Xifu is safe and sound, after all, anyone has to give Song Jiu face, even if it is Wen Zhongshu, who can do whatever it takes for the upper position.
But something happened in the East Mansion.
First of all, Chen Shu, but most of these famous ministers, most of them dare to take responsibility, and if they dare to take responsibility, they must grasp the right tightly, and they have to do things, how can they do good things without the right in their hands? It's just that Zhao Pulu, Duoxun, Kou Zhun, and Lu Yijian not only seize power, but also are stubborn, bullying superiors and subordinates, and empty-eyed. Song Jiuwang Dan and Lu Mengzheng have a calmer personality and can tolerate people. Chen Shu is also this kind of person, he is doing things, so he has a tight grasp of power and is suspicious, because of his talent, he was recommended by Song Jiu to serve as a salt and iron envoy.
Wang Shu handed over to Chen Shu because of government affairs last year, where did Chen Shu look down on Wang Shu, so he didn't listen to Wang Shu's dispatch, and the two had a conflict.
Chen Shu is a little better, especially Zhang Qixian, who is a figure that Song Jiu and Zhao Pu both value, and has the great victory of Daizhou. Almost wearing a halo to come to Dongfu.
But Wang Wei was very sad, when he was in Xifu before, Song Jiu valued Zhang Qixian, which made Wang Wei very unhappy, so that later he made some small actions of Song Jiu, and he didn't dare to come in person, but he clashed head-on with Zhang Qixian.
The two of them went to Dongfu for a while, and Wang Wei's expression can be imagined. I'm messing around for the sake of getting on top, but I don't want to bring two rivals to Dongfu.
Especially what he did in Dongfu, if these two people found out, they would definitely use it to make a fuss, what should I do? I happened to be in the early dynasty, and I saw the big-mouthed Wang Yuyan, Wang Wei was overjoyed, my family, I'm sorry, use you to be my spearhead. (To be continued......)
