0784 Silence in the crowd
Among the provincial servants under the door, they were originally the emperor's courtiers who were in and out of the forbidden middle and close to the courtiers, who were in charge of the affairs and counsel secrets, and some also knew the books and saved the trouble, which can be described as the choice of the nobles and dignitaries.
But in today's Western Wei Dynasty, Taishi Yuwentai is the emperor's biggest confidant, and naturally he does not need other henchmen to accompany him, so the main position of the servant is gradually empty, and only this official title is retained as a regular honorary official.
Today's Western Wei Dynasty, with the institutionalization of the transfer process of various officials, has formed such official positions as servants, hussars, and Kaifu. Some of the servants appointed in this way can't even see the emperor's face, let alone some of the close servants.
However, when there is a major event in the country, the emperor cannot make a decision alone, or needs the broad participation of the masses to reach a consensus, the addition of an official in the middle of the country has become a condition for whether he can participate in the meeting.
This happened today, and the memoira issued in the self-prohibition was delivered to the Menxia Province in the imperial city along with the emperor's edict to assemble the subordinates. However, the provincial government office under the door was not manned at all, and the eunuch who sent the order searched for it in the official office near the left, and then found Wang Yuanluo of Jiangyang, who had just returned from the Southern Liang sojourn, and asked him to go to the province to receive the edict.
Yuan Luo went out of Hanzhong in the old year, because the famous general Lan Qin of Southern Liang was pressing, he simply surrendered to Southern Liang with Hanzhong, and stayed in Nanliang for nearly 20 years, until Hou Jing's rebellion was pacified, Yuwentai asked Jiangling to send it back through the Jingzhou Governor's Office.
Yuan Luo's list of official titles also happens to have a servant in the ranks, it stands to reason that this kind of plus official should not lead the province to do things, but the problem is that at present, there is no arrangement in the Western Wei court to directly serve the province, and even the Menxia Province has become a temporary resting place for officials to go to the imperial city to perform affairs. Everyone is an official, so there is no distinction between priorities.
If you change to someone else, you will probably avoid it, after all, under normal circumstances, there will be no serious things to send to the province, not to mention that now that Yuwen Taishi is still in the court, what is there that the Chinese and foreign governments can't decide?
But not long after Yuan Luo returned to China, he was already idle, and he still wanted to meet Taishi Yuwentai when he came to the imperial city today, hoping to arrange a post for him to continue to shine, and of course he would not shirk the things sent to the door, so he went straight to the main hall of the province and unceremoniously took the book and the edict.
When Yuan Luo opened the book and saw that it was for Yuwen Taishi to ask for the title of king, his heart suddenly beat wildly. It's not because of indignation, he has lived in Nanliang for 20 years, and he has experienced the turmoil of the Hou Jing Rebellion, even if he has any feelings for his family and country, he has already worn out.
After seeing the content of this book, Yuan Luo suddenly became excited, he was worried that he couldn't find a way to ask Yuwentai for care, he couldn't continue to love his sister-in-law, wouldn't the opportunity come?
The emperor's edict said that he would convene his ministers to discuss this matter, but now he is the only one in the entire province of Menxia, so of course he does not dare to object to this matter, so won't it be done?
Of course, no matter how stupid Yuan Luo is, he understands that this matter is not so simple, no matter how big his face is, he doesn't dare to say that he will crown Yuwentai as king with his own selfish will. But he really didn't know what the personnel process was on the Western Wei side, and he was afraid that others would take this matter away from him, so he simply picked up the recital and the edict and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, planning to ask for a meeting with Master Yuwen and ask him to give him a face-to-face lecture, and instructed him to gather those servants to finalize the matter.
For this king of the sect who returned from abroad, Yuwentai was quite respectful, and when he heard that he asked to see him, even if he was summoned into the hall to meet, but when he saw the book and edict that Yuan Luo took out of his arms, he rolled his eyes in anger.
It was precisely because Yu Wentai didn't want to show too strong a sense of presence in this matter that he pushed the book to the emperor, so that even if things didn't work out, he didn't have to be too embarrassed, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see how the hearts of the people in the country were. I didn't expect that the book that I had been entangled for a long time to send out, and I was sent back by Yuan Luo's goods when I turned my head. Also, who let this goods into the straight door to save trouble!
was caught off guard by this guy Yuanluo, Yuwentai didn't give him face, and even if he stood up and walked out of the hall, he ordered Yuanyu, the king of Huai'an, to come to the imperial city to temporarily save trouble, and was responsible for summoning the servants in Beijing to discuss the matter.
Yuan Luo came to greet Yu Wentai with enthusiasm, but he didn't expect things to fall on Yuan Yu, and he felt quite a lot in his heart
was lost, but when he heard that he had a part in the matter of the Beijing servants, he suddenly came to his senses again, so he returned to the provincial hall and waited.
Not long after, Yang Kuan walked over from the other side, raised his eyes and saw the King of Jiangyang wandering outside the straight hall, so he stepped forward and said hello with a smile.
Before he could say anything, Yuan Luo was already a little surprised and said, "The Duke of Huashan is really diligent in state affairs, and the apostles who have been sent to all the servants to discuss the sealing of Yuwen Taishi have not been out for a long time, and the prince has entered the hall to wait."
"Sealed? Master Yuwen?"
When Yang Kuan heard this, he immediately asked in surprise, and then quickly shook his head and said, "The king has misunderstood, he is in Zhishangshu Province today, and he doesn't know what important matters need to be discussed here."
After saying this, he did not continue to stay this greeting, and quickly left the Menxia Provincial Government Office, and immediately found an acquaintance in the imperial city, and then returned to the vicinity of Menxia Province to inquire about what needed to be sent to Menxia Province for discussion.
In the imperial city, even the emperor's preparation for the murder of the ministers could not be kept secret, let alone things that could not be kept secret, so Yang Kuan quickly found out what was going on, and left the imperial city quickly.
Recently, there are quite a lot of *** gathered in Beijing, not long after Yang Kuan left the imperial city, he saw several summoned servants coming here on the street in front of the palace gate, so he hid on the side of the road, and whispered before ordering the house slaves to enter. Not long after, several people also made excuses and retreated directly not far from the palace gate.
But there are exceptions, such as Li Mu and others called friends and went straight to the imperial city, ready to continue to reiterate their demands in public and fight for the throne for the Lord.
However, today they were destined to be disappointed, because after a whole day of waiting, there were only less than ten servants who finally came to Menxia Province, and even Yuwentai's own children and nephews did not show up.
The position of servant was very widespread in the Western Wei Kingdom, but almost everyone who reached a certain level would have this additional official. In today's Chang'an City, not to mention a hundred, there are twenty or thirty people who have this additional official.
However, not to mention the outcome of the meeting, only seven or eight people were willing to participate in the discussion, and although it is not excluded that some people really had something to do and were inconvenient to participate in the meeting, it would not be coincidental that most of them happened to have something to do, and their absence itself was a kind of statement.
The first day of the meeting was clearly unsuccessful, and it was naturally difficult to reach a convincing consensus. And this matter has also been thoroughly spread in Chang'an City, and everyone who is qualified to know about it has basically heard about it.
Not to mention whether the party Yu Wentai is angry and anxious in the face of this situation, Li Tai, as the initiator, is still visiting relatives and friends in a hurry.
His other cousin, Lu Rou, was about to marry his daughter and marry Wei Xiaokuan's nephew Wei Qiang, so Li Tai also took advantage of the fact that he was still in Beijing, and ordered his family to prepare gifts, and he went to congratulate him in person, and by the way, he wanted to talk to Wei Xiaokuan.
However, he didn't have time to go out here, his father-in-law Dugu Xin had already rushed into the house with a horse, and saw that the servant was installing a saddle bridle for Li Tai's mount, Dugu Xin waved his hand again and again to stop it, and motioned for Li Tai to enter the court with him.
"What happened in the Imperial City just now, Boshan, you would never have imagined?"
Dugu Xin is one of the people who got the letter earlier, and the source of his news is still in the inner palace, so he knew it earlier than Yuan Luo, who happened to be at the meeting, so he hurriedly came to tell Li Tai.
Li Tai didn't bother to cooperate with his father-in-law to sell Guanzi, and after hearing this, he said with a smile: "What the Zhangren wants to say is that Li Xianqing, the Duke of Wu'an, and others asked for the title of prince for the Taishi?"
"You already know?"
Duguxin was quite surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that Li Taijiu was not in Gyeonggi, but the news was even more well-informed than him.
Seeing this, Li Tai couldn't help but smile and nodded, "I know, I knew the night before, because this is exactly what I instructed Li Xianqing to do."
"You did it? Why? Why is it so unwise?"
Dugu Xin was even more surprised when he heard this, and looked at Li Tai with a puzzled look on his face and said, as if he had been abandoned.
