Section 69 Friends

"Niu Sidian went to Luoyang, and Jingzhao Shaoyin's position was vacant, and I was going to let Yuan Zhen make up for it. ”

At this moment, there are only two people in the palace, the emperor and Li Shen, and there is no one who is standing in the palace.

"Your Majesty, ...... before Weichen?"

Just a few days ago, Li Shen handed Chen into the palace, wanting to remove the responsibility of the prison envoy.

"Let Yuan Zhen take care of it, you have a good relationship, with him cooperating with you, you can rest assured that you can hand over the matter of the prison envoy to him. ”

Li Xu paused: "Jing Zhaoyin also let the King of Shu take the lead." ”

The political situation in the imperial court tended to be stable, and everything was only to be unfolded after Lu Zhen and Li Jifu returned to the capital.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still thinks that Li Deyu is more competent than Yuan Zhen. Wen Rao was born in a big family in Hebei, and the reuse of the Li family of Zhao County can show favor to the major families under the Hebei Domain, and Wen Rao is the son of the prime minister. ”

Li Deyu is now a bachelor of Hanlin, and he has always had the intention of building a meritorious career.

This time, Niu Monk and Yu were transferred to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and gave up the position of Jingzhao Shaoyin, which naturally aroused the covetousness of all parties.

After Li Deyu, Li Shen and Yuan Zhen's small circle met, they discussed trying to make Li Deyu the Shaoyin of Jingzhao.

First, this position is very important, there are many competitors, Li Deyu is the strongest of the three, and he is the easiest to ensure that he falls into his own entrainment.

As for Yuan Zhen, he went to Jiangnan and knew that the emperor attached great importance to financial endowment, so Yuan Zhi was more inclined to find a position in charge of finance and taxation, so as to better determine his position as a "professional financial bureaucrat".

Of course, in order to win such a position, it is indispensable for Li Jifu to come out and make a political exchange with Han Gang, because the fiscal and taxation system has always been firmly in the hands of the Han Party.

Li Xu knew all these careful thoughts of theirs.

As the so-called party outside the party, there is no party, imperial thought. There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Expecting these officials to become Lei Feng, Kong Fansen, and Jiao Yulu is a fool's dream, and they are completely out of touch with reality.

Li Xu is not afraid that they will form gangs, the premise is that everything must be done well.

If they don't do things and just mess around, then the emperor will definitely not be polite to them, first send them to the prison envoy to try all kinds of methods to concoct people, and then send them to the execution ground.

"Okay, let Li Deyu serve as Jing Zhaoyin, let King Guang hang the position of Yongzhou pastor, and King Shu hang Yizhou pastor. ”

There is no state pastor in Dayu's official position, but many noble princes, in order to show their status, will still add the position of state pastor to them according to the example of the Han Dynasty, and it is often Yongzhou, Yizhou, Jizhou and other highly symbolic names.

"Han Jue of Han Ling's family is going to retire from illness, and I have been staying and not allowing it. Li Xu thought for a while and said, "The reason why I haven't let him retreat is because he participated in Cheng Qili's rebellion before. Keep him and you can knock Han Gang. ”

Although Han Jue served as the Bibu Langzhong, although it belonged to the household department, the remnants of the prime minister system in the Qin and Han dynasties were still there, and it was also a very important financial department in itself.

Now all the income and expenditure of the imperial court except for the salt and iron transportation system basically have to be obtained from the ministry, although Bibu Langzhong is a five-rank official, but the power is very great.

It was also Han Jue's Bibu Langzhong and Han Gang's salt and iron transfer envoy that gave the Han family a political basis to control the financial system of the imperial court.

"As soon as this position becomes vacant, I will let Yuan Zhi take over such a position. ”

As the emperor spoke, Li Shen was already kneeling on the ground sweating profusely.

Since ancient times, "forming a party" has been a taboo.

Mr. Kongqiu, the ancestor of Confucianism, once said: A gentleman is reserved but not fighting, and the group is not a party. The gentleman is not compared, the villain is not compared, and the party is the same and different.

According to this set of standards, Li Shen, Li Deyu, Yuan Zhen, their small group, and Li Jifu looming behind.

They can be described as a group of villains who are incomparably different from each other, and they are the targets to be spurned.

It's nothing to do this kind of thing in private, after all, the quality of the people in the world is too low, and everyone is selfish.

But once it is pointed out, it is a great sin.

"With Yuan Zhi as the financial resources of Bibu Langzhong, Li Deyu as the power of Jing Zhaoyin, and the prestige of your Li Gongchui as the prison envoy, when Li Jifu enters the political hall as a privy envoy, even if you have great power, I will see the results of your governance of the world at that time. ”

The emperor's words made Li Shen feel palpitations for a while.

Bibu is the nest of the Korean Party for a long time, and Yuan Zhen, an airborne cadre, did not say what he wanted to do in the past, and he did not know how many constraints there were.

Jingzhao Mansion has long been a mess, even if the cow monks and children sorted it out before, but since the Wen Party has been in a state of herding sheep to now, Li Deyu may not be able to carry out his work well in the past.

Although the privy envoy Li Jifu can enter the political affairs hall, the political affairs hall is a place to discuss major affairs rather than general affairs.

The Privy Council itself is a military-related unit, and if Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province are together, Li Jifu's influence will not be able to help Yuan Zhi too much.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of things over there, and Jingzhao Mansion has been in decline for ......a long time."

Li Shen knelt on the ground, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Gongzhuo, you enjoy great fortune, and as high-ranking officials, you are to do things. The emperor looked at the prisoner who was kneeling on the ground: "If you can get things done, I am happy to see that you are in harmony." ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, I understand. Li Xu said: "I have limited energy alone, so I need you to support and assist, I only need to do a few important things well, and I am happy to see you work for me in other things." ”

"But if you don't do your duty, but instead devote yourself to eradicating dissidents and fighting for power, then I will also teach you a lesson. ”

"I will try my best to give you the environment to display your talents and abilities, but you must also express the results I want. ”

Even a bureaucrat like Li Shen who dared to gamble and suppress the Wen Party felt fear at this moment.

Li Shen now really feels what it means to be "thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace".

As long as the emperor wants to, he can elevate him to the status of a prison envoy, a high and powerful position, with the right to coerce the government and the opposition, and the wealth of cooking oil with fire.

But in the same way, as long as the emperor has a thought, these can be turned into nothing in an instant, so that today's Li Shen is no different from yesterday's Wen Party.

At this moment, Li Shen actually dealt with Pei Du and Niu Shengyu, who had been far away from the center of power, although they were far away from the center of power, they could be regarded as leaving the danger at the same time.

"You step down, Li Jifu will return to Beijing in a few days, and at that time, Li Wenrao will lead officials to the suburbs to meet his father as Jing Zhaoyin. ”

Li Xu then added.
