Chapter 37: The Dragon Lifts Its Head
Thank you for your support and support, Lao Yan is grateful······ )
Du Huangshang sat on the group stool and replied:
"The old minister thinks that our army has won a new victory, and its morale is booming, so we should strike while the iron is hot."
However, his meaning was obviously not as simple as entering the army, Li Yu laughed:
"Du Xiang will talk around the bend now, isn't it a reward? I'm about to spend 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, are you afraid of spending it again? ”
Du Huangshang sent a sycophant and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty."
Li Chanted:
"The reward is to be rewarded, but it can't be asked for by them, otherwise they will be rewarded for winning a battle, and they will have to change the law to win a few more battles, it seems that Liu Shu worked very well last time, and this time we must find a way to solve it quickly."
Du Huangshang said:
"Yes."
Li Yu was in a good mood today, and he started a family conversation with Du Huangsheng as he spoke, and then talked about Wei Zhiyi, Du Huangshang said:
"The one who didn't make it is still motivated, and I'm going to visit Master Li every day."
Wei Zhiyi is in his forties, Du Huangshang is not yet a good name, Li Yu smiled slightly. Master Li is Li Xun, Li Xun has now officially replaced Du You as the salt and iron transfer envoy, and in the first month, Du You's resignation from the transfer envoy was approved, and Li Xun did it naturally. However, Wei Zhiyi visited Li Xun not to learn financial management, but to understand the people of Hunan. Li Xun served in Hunan more than ten years ago, and on the 16th of the first month, he appointed Li Xun as a transit envoy and Wei Zhiyi as an observer envoy in Hunan.
As rumored years ago, after the New Year, at the same time as the imperial court used troops in Xichuan, the internal personnel began to adjust, in addition to Wei Zhiyi's official Hunan, the former prime minister, Gao Ying, the secretary of the criminal department, released the Tongguan defense envoy, Wang Shao, the secretary of the military department, served as Luoyang Yin, the secretary of the military department was succeeded by Lu Zhen, and the second prince of the imperial history of Cheng Wei served as the observer of Shaanxi, and Li Yong served as the imperial history of Zhongcheng.
There are so many places where the central officials are out of office, and they are all important places, which cannot but arouse the conjecture of many critics inside and outside the court, in the streets and alleys, but this conjecture cannot be said on the surface. Although the place is important, it is not as good as the central scenery after all, and the gossip that so-and-so has fallen out of favor and so-and-so has been favored has spread far and wide. Of course, there are many people who can understand it, such as the cadres of "The History of Chunming", but "The History of Chunming" is not as sensitive as the newspapers of later generations after all, and they publish large editorials, but they simply report it in the newspaper.
This time, the central high-ranking officials naturally had intentions when they went out of the town, and Li Yu said this when he summoned Wang Shao in the Zichen Palace:
"When you go to the Eastern Capital, you must make a good living, appease the people's livelihood, repair the city's war equipment, and train soldiers. Luoyang, the land of the four wars, Huaixi, Biansong, Xuzhou, Ziqing, Weibo, Zhaoyi, Chengde, Jingnan, Shannan Dongdao, etc., should always pay attention. ”
Huaixi Wu Shaoyang lies between Jiangnan and Guanzhong, stuck in the lifeline of the imperial court, since the failure of the crusade in the Zhenyuan period is a piece of the heart of the imperial court, Xuzhou is close to the town of Buchen Domain, since the former Jiedu envoy has also been wavering, Du You appointed Huainan Jiedu envoy when the crusade against Xuzhou failed after the centrifugal tendency of Xuzhou is stronger, Biansong Jiedu makes Han Hong respectful to the imperial court, in fact, he has a ghost, and Zhaoyi Jiedu makes Lu Congshi not a good bird. Ziqing, Weibo, and Chengde will not be mentioned, and other towns have big and small problems. Luoyang has always been a place for court officials to retire after the Tang Dynasty, but did Wang Shao go to retire? Li Yu obviously hoped that Wang Shao would treat Luoyang as the hub of the imperial court's eastward advance, and Wang Shao naturally knew what the emperor meant, and he went out of Chang'an on the first day of February.
If some people think that the adjustment of the imperial court ends here, it is wrong, in February of the first year of Yongzhen, not long after unloading the burden of salt and iron transport, the seventy-one-year-old inspector Sikong Tongping Zhangshi Du You wrote a letter, and once again asked for Zhishi on the grounds of poor health, Li Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed that Du You would no longer serve as the prime minister, and replace Gao Ying as the secretary of the criminal department. The Shangshu of the Middle and Tang Dynasty is just an honorary position, no longer responsible for practical matters, Du You is naturally grateful, and who will be the prime minister has become a topic of concern for the government and the opposition.
The day after Du You's resignation, after the emperor convened several important ministers to discuss, Li Jifu and Pei Yan, the Hanlin scholars on duty, received an order to draft an edict at the same time. The actual proponent of sending central officials to the localities to strengthen control over the localities, the Hanlin Bachelor, who had been suffering from gains and losses for the past two days, was filled with an unusually frustrated mood as soon as Li Jifu opened the order. In order to keep it secret, the edicts drafted by the Hanlin scholars were all in a separate small room, Pei Yan had already started to write in the small room opposite, and Li Jifu was still sitting in the small room in a daze, sighing for a long time. Li Jifu's voice was very loud, but Pei Yan wrote as if he hadn't heard it, and the sound of writing woke up Li Jifu, and the Hanlin bachelor and intellectual, swallowed the bitterness helplessly, and began to draft the edict.
The order reads: Li Jifu drafted the edict, with Wu Yuanheng, the servant of the Zhongshu, as the servant of the door, and the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Door.
Li Jifu has great ambitions, has been an official in various places for many years, and has also suffered blows, and his psychological quality is not bad, as soon as he puts aside his selfish thoughts, the edict was drafted immediately, but the distraction time was too great, and when he lifted the curtain and walked out of the small room, Pei Yan was already standing opposite and waiting for him to hand over the edict together. Li Jifu barely squeezed out an apologetic smile, and a warm smile had already appeared on Pei Yan's cold face, which had never been smiling. Pei Yan called Li Jifu's words:
"Brother Hongxian, congratulations."
Li Jifu couldn't help but be stunned. There were faint gusts of spring thunder in the clouds outside the house, and the sound of the rain was so crisp and pleasant that Li Jifu almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
On the second day of the second month of February in the first year of Yongzhen, Wu Yuanheng, the servant of the door, and Li Jifu, the waiter of the Chinese book, paid homage to the prime minister on the same day.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
Pei Yan's note reads: Li Jifu, a bachelor of Hanlin and an intellectual system, is the Zhongshu Shilang and the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.
When the long-awaited day came, fate made a small joke with Li Jifu, but this joke was too big for the person concerned, and a huge sense of knowledge and responsibility came to his heart, so that Li Jifu couldn't bear this surprise, choked up and held Pei Yan's hand and said:
"Brother Hongzhong, Ji Fu went from Shang Shulang to a distant place, only came back for more than ten years, and when he came back, he was banned from the office, and now it is only a year, and the backward characters rarely accept and know, the responsibility of the prime minister should be selected to be talented and talented, but Ji Fu now ignores which people are talented. You are good at identifying talents, and now talents, please speak for me. ”
Pei Yan said:
"Dare to disobey?"
Saying that, he found a table, leaned over and wrote more than 30 names to Li Jifu in one go, and a good story in the Tang Dynasty was born.
Simple, I recommend Xiao Yufei's masterpiece "Dead in the Jungle".
