Chapter 351: Tai Sui's head is grounded

I have to say that the extremely smart Li Qingchen is sitting on wax.

Fan Chong and Li Kui are both targets he needs to attack. Fan Chong didn't say it, in the sixth year of Yuan You, Li Qingchen, who had been in exile for many years, as an important minister of Shenzong who had the merit of supporting the establishment, was remembered by the then prime minister Lu Gongshu and Liu Zhi in the imperial history, and had the intention of transferring Li Qingchen from the local government to the court and serving as the secretary of the ministry.

But in the end, he was destroyed by a slut, of course, this slut is Fan Zuyu, who was in charge of the matter at that time, and belonged to a lowly and powerful role, and it was during this period that Fan Zuyu opened the crazy spit mode in his life.

This adult wrote in the memoir, "The ministers watched what the Qing ministers did, Han Qi was attached to it, and Han Qi was dead and recited; Han descended to success, followed by defeat, and defeated was destroyed, and the advance and retreat were repeated, which was nothing more than profit. If it is called, it will have the potential to be reused and lose the hope of the world. ”

This is almost the same as scolding Li Qingchen for being a repeated villain in the final summary.

With this sentence alone, Li Qingchen couldn't wait to bite Fan Zuyu's soul, he was still Fan Zuyu's predecessor. In terms of qualifications, Li Qingchen's qualifications are absolutely high, and Fan Chunren is a senior in the science field, even if this guy is disrespectful, he also spreads rumors and slanders his conduct. Scholars rely on this bit of conduct as a fig leaf to live, Fan Zuyu jumped over and ripped off his fig leaf, can Li Qingchen not want to fight with him?

By the time Fan Zuyu was a jinshi, Li Qingchen was already a high-ranking official in the court.

This is mainly due to the fact that he was only fourteen years old when he first took the provincial examination, and because he was too young, he was not selected. Within a few years of that, he was promoted to the first place.

In terms of ability, because he writes well, all the articles are the articles that Emperor Shenzong wants to see the most, and the writing is magnificent, but it does not lose the tone and frustration, it can be said that he is the first pen on the temple of the Shenzong Dynasty, and his articles are all articles that make Shenzong's eyes shine and echo his own wishes, Li Qingchen's official fortune is naturally prosperous, and it is natural to be reused. At the same time, Fan Zuyu also followed Sima Guang to write "Zizhi Tongjian" in Luoyang, and he didn't even have a proper official body.

On the surface, Li Qingchen seems to be a villain who relies on articles to flatter.

But if he really doesn't have any ability, will Wang Anshi use Li Qingchen?

The official reform during the Shenzong period was vigorous, and the person in charge of the official reform was Li Qingchen.

This person's talent is recognized by many people, and at the same time, his character is also very poor. He is still the son-in-law of the Han family, and the main marriage is still Han Qi, and he betrayed the Han family twice, which is despicable.

But it is disdainful and disdainful, and it can be said in person, that is, Fan Zuyu. The two of them are also very magical, Fan Zuyu thinks that Li Qingchen is a villain, but Li Qingchen firmly believes that Fan Zuyu is Sima Guang's lackey, and they are not good, but they want to hurt each other.

Of course, Fan Zuyu will never care, and most of them have even forgotten about his holiday with Li Qingchen. When he was doing things, there were more important ministers of the Divine Sect who were sprayed by him, which onion is Li Qingchen? His status in the law change faction is not as good as Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing, and even Cai Bian's status in the law change faction is much higher than him.

In Fan Zuyu's eyes, Li Qingchen is a miscellaneous fish in the law-changing faction. She just stood on the shore, threw a quick stone into the water, and smashed Li Qingchen to death It is considered bad luck for this guy, if it affects Li Qingchen, the master is in the middle of the matter, the master wants to put small shoes on you, do you dare to jump?

As for why Li Qingchen couldn't get along with Su Zhe, the main reason was that he wanted to replace Su Zhe as the deputy prime minister. Because Zhang Dian was taken charge of the Zaifu earlier in history, Fan Chunren deliberately retreated, so that Li Qingchen lost the best opportunity to enter the Tongzhongshu Sect Ping Zhangshi. Speaking of which, Su Zhe's official position of Zhongshu Shilang was still designed by Li Qingchen back then, and before Shenzong, the official position of Zhongshu Shilang did not exist, and it never appeared.

The addition of Zhongshu Menxia Shilang is because Emperor Shenzong wanted to divide part of the power of the prime minister, so he set up Zhongshu and Menxia Shilang, and the proposer was Li Qingchen.

At the same time, the official position of governor was also abolished during the Yuanfeng period, and before that, although the governor was the head of the consuls, the official position was that of the deputy prime minister, and the status was slightly inferior to that of the prime minister. However, the identity of the governor was very special before, and the Pingzhang and the governor took turns to take charge of the big seal of the court.

The authority is unknown, and it often happened in the Great Song Dynasty before Shenzong.

Sometimes, if the prime minister wants to use the seal, he has to ask for the deputy minister's official position to participate in political affairs. Although this has the official position to contain each other and avoid the threat of a single family, it has also caused a lot of trouble, and the speed of the imperial court is low, and the officials below do not know who to listen to.

Originally, the mutual restraint of official positions was naturally to prevent power from being concentrated on a single important minister, but after Shenzong began to change the law, he found that such drawbacks caused the court to pass the buck to each other, resulting in many new laws being stopped in the court and unable to be implemented. Li Qingchen reformed his official position as a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty, and in a short period of time, he completed the affairs of the court, and it can be said that his ability is not bad. At least it's not a little better than Fan Zuyu, who scolded him for being a villain repeatedly.

But because of his bad character, he was promoted too quickly by the emperor's favored ministers, but his colleagues ignored his ability to do things. To put it bluntly, he is jealous of his soaring prosperity and good luck.

In addition, Li Qingchen and Su Shi used to have a good relationship, and they often greeted each other in poetry, which lasted until the early years of Yuan You.

In terms of qualifications, Li Qingchen's appointment as the chief examiner of the provincial examination is almost a compensation. He also knew that he would definitely be promoted. There will be a big promotion before the temple examination.

Vice-Minister.

There is no doubt about it, after all, he had been a Hanlin scholar twenty years ago.

But the deputy minister and the deputy minister are not different, is it a Chinese scholar, or a subordinate servant, or a scholar?

Zhongshu Shilang is in charge of the two yamen Zhiyuan and Tongjin Division.

These two yamen are the stakes of the temple, and they are much more important than the others. The first official is to give the matter, and is in charge of the three provinces, the Privy Council, the six departments of Shangshu Province and the official offices of the temples and prisons, and the main points are excerpted and submitted, and after the instructions are obtained, they are promulgated outside.

The other Zhiyuan is even more important, and the first official is the Imperial History Zhongcheng, which is commonly known as the Taiwan Advisory.

Controlling these two yamen is equivalent to controlling the speech and tongue of all officials. Even the Zhongshu Shilang can make the emperor only see the national events that he wants the emperor to see. This is obviously not just the ambition of the deputy prime minister, Li Qingchen wants to use the Zhongshu Shilang as a springboard to directly compete with Zhang Dian for the position of prime minister. Even if Zhang Dian is now sitting in the position of prime minister, as long as Li Qingchen is promoted as a Zhongshu squire, then he will not lose. Compared with qualifications, he is much more senior than Zhang Dan. Su Zhe is also his junior.

Moreover, once the phase is vacant, the responsibility of the Zhongshu Shilang to act as the prime minister, as long as it is operated properly, the temporary generation can also become permanent.

How can he not have a little ambition to be an official, Li Qingchen has been in the sea for forty years, if he hadn't been an official too early, his qualifications would have been enough to become a senior official. If he doesn't have the heart to be the prime minister now, he doesn't even believe it.

As for dealing with Li Kui, at first he was just beating rabbits with grass, and he didn't like the people of Sumen.

But now Li Qingchen doesn't dare to despise Li Kui so much, in just a few days, Li Kui has changed the emperor, and his ability to influence the emperor's mind is much stronger than he was back then. For a time, it caused him to worry. At the beginning, Li Qingchen was appreciated by the Divine Sect, which was an article and a reputation accumulated for more than ten years.

And what about Li Kui?

It only took two days to make the emperor's temperament a little crooked. If Li Kui was really allowed to pass the Jinshi examination, the emperor would probably be reluctant to let Li Kui go out. Staying in the court is simply a disaster.

Li Kui may be the enemy who messes with his stitches, and he has to be cautious. Even, in his mind, he was angry with Fan Chong, and he was more vigilant against Li Kui.

But Li Kui's scroll, just in his planning, disappeared. It's not that it's gone, the scroll is still there, but he can't tell that the scroll is Li Kui's.

The same goes for Fan Chong's rolls.

This put him in a dilemma, and the examiner's blatant search for papers hostile to the examinee out of personal anger would have made people laugh.

Fortunately, he didn't care too much.

In the two examination rooms of Tianzi and Dizi, there was no trace of these two people's papers in the four marking rooms. It made him feel uncomfortable like a fish in his throat. Suddenly, an exclamation from a grader caught Li Qingchen's attention, "Brother Qianfu, why are you surprised? ”

The questionee's face was strange, and he took a volume and handed it to Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen glanced at it, immediately calmed down, found a place to sit down and read quietly, and the article was suppressed and frustrated, like mercury pouring down for thousands of miles. This kind of momentum has its own seven or eight points of skill. It is rare to see a good article, and Li Qingchen can't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, this article is a rare masterpiece among today's scholars." ”

"My lord, haven't you noticed that this article is familiar?"

Seeing that Li Qingchen did not react, the examiner pointed to the article and said to Li Qingchen, "If what the lower officials remember is correct, this article seems to be the play of your old man twenty years ago." ”

"I wrote it?"

Li Qingchen was asked, when did he write such an essay for the exam? He was a Jinshi in the Renzong period, although he had also experienced the new policy of Qingli back then, but when he was in the third year of Qingli, he was still young and did not even have an official body, how could he participate in the imperial examination?

As for more than ten years ago, he was in the Hanlin Academy, although he was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but for some reason, he did not preside over the provincial examination once.

There is no possibility of writing a sample essay.

Wrong...... It seems that there was really one time, I remember that it seemed to be at a banquet with Su Shi, when Su Shi happened to preside over the Kaifeng Mansion Examination, and I remembered that it had been seventeen or eighteen years.

At the beginning, Su Shi's topic was to the effect that he compared the hegemony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, of course, Li Qingchen was disdainful of such a topic, and at that time Li Qingchen was not unlucky and was an archon in the capital.

So while the wine was booming, he wrote such an article, there were many people attending the banquet at that time, Zhang Dian seemed to be there, and Su Shi, as well as several of his students, Huang Tingjian? Qin Guan?

Suddenly, he thought of Huang Tingjian, and suddenly remembered everything.

That's right, it's Huang Tingjian, otherwise his article is not widely disseminated, how could it be copied by the candidates. Looking at the exam papers in front of him, behind the transcription of the name, could it be Li Kui?

This guy dared to be so bold, pretending to write his article, and wanted to shoot his own cold arrow in the provincial examination of his main exam.

Traitor!

Li Qingchen gritted his teeth and said viciously, "This volume is high, after all the scholars are hired, this paper will be opened, and the candidate's conduct will be reprimanded, and he will not be allowed to participate in the provincial examination after that." ”

"My lord, this won't be too much, will it?"

"Candidates use the main examination article to answer the questions, not to mention the sinister intentions, the old man's reputation will also be damaged. How can he be allowed to live in peace, but he must be punished, and this person will not be allowed to take the provincial examination in the future. ”

"Your Excellency!"

……

Finally found one of the two enemy juniors, Li Qingchen had a feeling of refreshment and transparency, and rushed up from the soles of his feet, so that when he left the reading room, his steps were much brisker.

Originally, he thought that the exam papers were disrupted, and Li Kui's exam papers were put in other marking rooms, if he really walked through the ten marking rooms, he would have to read the thousands of exam papers one by one, even if he was energetic, this huge pressure hit him like Mount Tai, making him breathless.

He is not young now, and his energy is not as good as before.

If it really costs such a trivial thing as 'revenge', I'm afraid it's really a little overwhelming.

It's a pity that Fan Chong ran away.

In the Tianzi marking room, he was finally disappointed and did not find Fan Chong's paper. But even so, at least it is not in vain, let this kid slip away, and wait until the palace test is time to trouble him.

Speaking of which, the chief examiner of the provincial examination, if it is really time for the palace examination, it will not be him the main exam.

Certainly not the emperor.

The volume of hundreds of people, if the emperor is really asked to read the volume, the emperor may not be able to bear it. The palace test is the contest of the top forces in the Great Song Dynasty, the battlefield where Zhang Dian, Fan Chunren, Su Zhe and other vice-ministers compete for the right to speak, and at that time, he should be one of them, but I am afraid that he will not be able to become the existence of Yiyantang.

It took a total of seven or eight days to read the papers, and to prepare for the transcription of the name.

On this day, ten examiners, plus him as the main examiner, gathered in the largest hall of the Gongyuan to begin to select the top 20 of this provincial examination.

According to the habit, the top ten and top twenty rankings have the value of ranking, and if they are too low, they are basically ranked in order.

"Lord Wang recommended this volume as the twentieth, do you have any objections?"

"Good, dismantle the name."

"Examinee, Jingdong East Road, Yizhou Shizi Li Kui."

After Lord Wang finished speaking, Li Qingchen's eyes were about to pop out, wasn't Li Kui's scroll found out by him? How could there be another Li Kui?

Bao Kang Gate, Li Zhai.

Li Yun looked proud and said confidently to Li Kui, "Second brother, I look down on people, go to the army to fight, this time I use stratagem to obtain the qualification of tribute, just like taking things from a bag, and tomorrow I will be released, and there will be a place for me Li Yun." ”
