CHAPTER XXIX
Canvassing for votes! Bury me with your flowers! )
In the imperial study, Wang Shuwen fell to the ground and cried, and the seventy-year-old man was sad like this, which made Li Yu feel sour in his heart, thinking of his parents and relatives in the 21st century.
"Your Majesty does not think that the ministers are old, trust the ministers, the ministers are grateful, and they are devoted to reporting to His Majesty the court, and the old mother is seriously ill and has not been able to serve the decoction every day, which is really unfilial! Before the old mother died, she missed her hometown in Shanyin, and the old minister implored His Majesty to allow the old minister to beg for the bones and send the old mother's coffin back to his hometown for burial! ”
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, in modern society, many times there will be a situation where the pain of losing a father and mother will persist in work, and the parties will be praised for giving up their small family to take care of everyone, and they will be high-profile and positively promoted, but if this situation occurs in ancient times, it is unfilial piety, contrary to the name and religion, and it is to be spurned. For example, Li Yu really kept filial piety for three years for his father, and he guarded the tomb for his father for three years in accordance with the ancient rites, and only after guarding the tomb did he be recruited by Emperor Dezong to enter the court. In such a situation, the state must support it unconditionally. Of course, if the country has a special emergency, the officials of Ding Wei can be recalled, which is called seizing affection, such as Zeng Guofan, during the period when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising broke out during Ding Mu's sorrow, he was reinstated.
Now that the stall has just been rolled out, Li Yu really doesn't want to let Wang Shuwen go, and Wang Shuwen also knows that the current situation is not the time to go home for a funeral. But Wang Shuwen is not enough to win love at all, now the world is temporarily peaceful, there is no emergency, and Wang Shuwen is just a living house at the moment, a bachelor of Hanlin, not a powerful minister, so there is no excuse to win love at all. Wang Shuwen understands this very well, if he is not invited, immediately Ju Wenzhen and his party will even write to impeach him if he is not in the bureau, so he will go to the table early.
Li Yu also understood that if Wang Shuwen was not worried, the consequences would be very serious, so he had to sigh and circle the word "quasi" on Wang Shuwen's seal.
Now Wang Shuwen has specially come to resign, and when he resigned, as an old minister, he asked for retirement as a customary "beggar bones". Looking at this white-haired old minister who had done his best to assist him in the past six months, Li Yu was really a little reluctant in his heart, but he had no choice but to say sourly:
"Mr. Wang, please get up. Mr. Wang was in charge of state affairs and could not serve Gao Tang, and I also felt a lot of guilt. It's just that Mr. Wang is an important minister, and he can't leave his body for a while, and he also asks Mr. Wang to mourn and change, and when Mr. Wang's filial piety period expires, he also asks Mr. Wang to continue to work for the country. ”
With a wave of his hand, Li Zhongyan asked people to send Li Chen's reward, and after Wang Shuwen bowed his favor, he retreated. Three days later, Wang Shuwen returned to his hometown. In history, Wang Shuwen did not do this, from Chang'an to Shanyin, that is, from Xi'an to Shaoxing today, the road is vertical and horizontal, not to mention thousands of miles? After all, he is a seventy-year-old man, and Li Yu is very afraid that Wang Shuwen will not be able to bear it, but he is helpless.
Wang Shuwen's resignation made Ju Wenzhen very happy, since he was woken up by Liu Pi, Ju Wenzhen hated everyone around Li Xu, and thought about how to get rid of Li Shuwen's right-hand man every day, and now Wang Shuwen, Li Xu's most trusted person, is gone, and it is so easy to walk that Ju Wenzhen even walks a little briskly.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Ju Wenzhen laughed happily: "His Royal Highness King Shu, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Li Yi, the king of Shu, is about forty years old, he is a handsome old man in Yushu, he looks refreshed and happy, no wonder he will be loved by Dezong. Seeing Ju Wenzhen, Li Yi also smiled slightly:
"General Ju is proud, is there anything happy about it?"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Li Yi said:
"This king has recently obtained a new falcon, which is very strong, and I heard that General Kuda likes to raise eagles, so this king will give it to General Kuda."
Where does Ju Wenzhen like to raise eagles, but he also knows that King Shu must have something to say, so he smiled:
"In this way, thank you to His Royal Highness King Shu. I just don't know what kind of fetish this eagle has? ”
"This eagle has a fetish, but when he identifies a prey, he won't let go, which makes this king like it!"
Ju Wenzhen understood and said with a smile:
"No wonder King Shu likes it, and he likes such an eagle very much!"
But in his heart, he thought, "Treat General Ben as an eagle dog?" Hmph, I don't know who the eagle dog is. ”
The next day, the Zhongshu Sheren wrote a letter to impeach Zuo Chang Wang Ling for being greedy, which turned out to be true. This slippery man turned out to be friendly with Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangqi was promoted all the way, and he met Ju Wenzhen through Liu Guangqi. After Ju Liu broke up, Hua Huan thought about it again and again, but Ju Wenzhen was deeply rooted and had a bright future, so he kicked Liu Guangqi away and threw himself into Ju Wenzhen's arms. This attack was obviously instructed by Ju Wenzhen to launch a general attack on the pro-Li Yu forces.
Li Yu thought that Wang Ling was an old man in the East Palace, and he was going to be a light man, and the hussar general Ju Wenzhen was impassioned when he discussed the court, thinking that it was a big deal, and the emperor had no choice but to order Wang Ling to be the judge of the Fengxiang Festival. Ju Wenzhen and others naturally celebrated again.
Unexpectedly, Liu Guangqi has always hated Huahuan for betraying him, and this time he suddenly found the right time very smartly, ordered his doorman to write and impeached Huahuan for being greedy and contemptuous. Hua Huan relied on the power of Ju Wenzhen to do nonsense, and his behavior was far worse than Wang Ling, Liu Guangqi's performance this time had real evidence in hand, Pei Du and others followed the impeachment of the book, so Hua Huan also followed Wang Ling unlucky. Ju Wenzhen just emphasized the seriousness of the national law at the court meeting two days ago, and this time she had to suffer a dumb loss, watching Huahuan be demoted to Zhongzhou, and became Zhongzhou Sima, and was subjected to Lu Zhen**.
And Liu Guangqi, who tasted the sweetness, obviously also has the character of a falcon, chasing after Ju Wenzhen's henchmen, and how many of them are clean on the buttocks of the eunuchs? It is said that Emperor Li Yu praised Liu Guangqi who was beating his leg in the harem, and laughed at him for "practicing the magic skill of snapping his fingers", so the impeachment enthusiasm of Liu Guangqi's subordinates also rose unprecedentedly.
Where are Ju Wenzhen, King Shu, and Yang Zhilian willing to suffer this loss? So a round of powerful counterattacks was launched, and there were not many good birds attached to Liu Guangqi, so the struggle between the two sides suddenly became sharp. Gao Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Gao Ying, the secretary of the Ping Zhangshi, had a sharp increase in workload, and he couldn't bear it, and he fell ill twice in seven days. And Zheng Xunyu, the secretary of the ministry, was also dizzy and speechless when he spoke at the court meeting many times.
For a time, the storm of resignation that began with Wang Shuwen Wang Ling was in full swing, and there were many vacant positions in the originally overcrowded imperial court, and the emperor had no choice but to promote talents beyond the ranks. The new examiner Wailang, the intellectual, Li Jifu, was transferred to the Zhongshu Sheren, and Pei Du, who had just been promoted from supervising the imperial history to serving the imperial history in March, replaced Wang Shuwen and served as the living housekeeper, and in less than half a year, he was promoted by two levels. Then Liu Yuxi, who had just returned from Fengxiang from King Guangling, was promoted to the rank of Wailang of the Ministry of Rites and Ling Huai to the rank of Wailang of the Ministry of Officials.
On July 10, the emperor thought that Gao Ying and Zheng Xunyu were weak and sick, and they wrote many times to invite them to go, and after repeatedly retaining them, he ordered the two to go to Pingzhang and keep their own officials. The two of them were very happy to protect themselves, and when they saw the unpredictable situation and were able to get out. On July 11, the late Prime Minister Zheng Yuqing paid homage to the prime minister for the second time with Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Ping Zhangshi. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was four prime ministers, but now he has changed two in half a year, which suddenly makes people feel that the situation is turbulent and something big is about to happen. Now there are two outgoing prime ministers, but there is only one supplement, although the prime minister has no quota, and there were as many as 20 people at one time in Dezong, but there are still many people who guess who the next prime minister is. In fact, many people can guess that this quota is reserved for Lu Zhen.
