The Miyuan Li family and the Jinyang Wang family have had a long-standing grudge, which did not develop overnight.
At that time, Li Jing was appointed as the Magistrate of Mayi County in Mayi. Because the Miyuan Li family still had some influence in Kansai, the post of Mayi County Magistrate was always vacant, and Li Jing was in charge of all affairs in the county.
And his immediate superior is Wang Que, the governor of Yanmen County. Because he is in Yanmen and has a convenient geographical location, he has been in charge of all affairs of Daizhou General Administration Office, so the three counties of Daizhou are nominally under his jurisdiction.
Of course, whether the other two counties will listen to the order issued by a Yanmen County Governor is another matter.
Wang Que was a descendant of the Wang family in Jinyang, and he often caused trouble for Li Jing by virtue of his family background and position.
When the chaos broke out in Yanmen in the last year of Daye, Wang Que led the chaos to Mayi. Li Jing had to set up a refugee camp in Mayi to control the refugees from Yanmen. Li Po happened to meet him and almost didn't survive the cold winter.
In addition, in the seventh year of Daye, Daizhou was ordered to send troops to Hebei. Wang Que failed to ask for war horses from Mayi, and even colluded with Taihang bandits to intercept and kill Mayi's generals on the way. He was so heartbroken and crazy.
In comparison, the matter of the Wang family sending merchants to the north to assassinate Li Po in Yunnei was actually a trivial matter.
What is even more irritating is that Li Jing went to Jinyang to pay a visit to Li Yuan, who was staying in Taiyuan. According to the etiquette of Jin, he went to visit the Wang family at the local snake gate, but it angered Li Yuan and put on Li Jing's shoes.
But just pretend it didn't happen.
He neither spoke in front of Li Yuan nor sent someone to say sorry to Li Jing. Do you think he is angry or not?
The most disdainful thing is that the Wang family prides itself on being a famous family in the world, and is known for its loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. When they come to their door, everyone has high official titles and high-ranking officials, and looks like a well-dressed family, but in private they behave like this
Even if they are despicable and hypocritical on the road, they will not be wronged.
As the head of the Wang family at that time, Wang Cong could hardly absolve himself of the blame.
Wang Tong, a great figure in the literary world, is famous all over the world. He was born in a branch of the Wang family. After his death, he even built a tomb in the Wang family's ancestral grave. The elders of the Wang family were not very willing. They discussed it for half a year before reluctantly establishing it. What do you think of Wang Cong?
What can the Valve Master do?
Family tradition depends on the elders in the family. The elders are cowardly, and the younger generation can rarely be upright. If the elders are cunning, the young people will be frivolous and exaggerated after hearing and seeing them. The elders are arrogant and unreasonable. How can you still
Can we expect our descendants to be courteous and courteous?
Therefore, the atmosphere of the Wang family in Jinyang was indeed not very good in those years. The descendants of the side branches such as Wang Zhibian, Wang Qing, and Wang Ji could not even look down on the main branch. As for Wang Ze, after he became the head of the Wang family,
I also want to come to Chang'an and set up another branch.
The decline of the main branch of the Wang family can be seen with the naked eye in recent years, and it is due to the war. But then again, these famous families developed and expanded during the war in the late Jin Dynasty, but they were also severely damaged in the war in the late Sui Dynasty.
Jinyang's Wang family was not the only one to go downhill. But in this era of great strife, famous ministers and generals also emerged one after another. The Wang family finally got on Li Po's chariot, but the benefits they received were extremely limited. What do you think?
Are the reasons only in the world?
……………………
Looking at his annoyed wife, although he thought what she said was very reasonable, Li Po still smiled and reassured her, "Everyone is dead, so you should keep some moral integrity.
I asked Wang Qi to go back and see if he was just attending the funeral for Old Man Wang. Chen Xiaoyi had just resigned, and Xue Bobao and Xue Shou died. That is where we started. You know Wang Lu, too.
The head of the county can only do so reluctantly. I don't trust him to take charge of the overall situation.
They might kneel down at the door of the Wang family. What good ideas can those people give Wang Lu? We can't let them ruin the atmosphere of Jinyang.
Wang Qi will only pretend when he goes back, I plan to let Wang Qing succeed him as the governor of Bingzhou, what do you think?"
Li Bi thought about it for a moment, then put her hands on her hands and smiled, "My husband still knows how to use people, and Wang Qing is worthy of his position."
The truth is actually obvious. Wang Qing currently holds the position of Minister of War, and he is from a branch of the Wang family in Jinyang. There is nothing wrong with him in terms of family background and official qualifications.
If the governor of Taiyuan County is Wang Lu and the general manager of Bingzhou is Wang Qing, it seems to have given the Wang family of Jinyang enough face.
But in fact, Wang Lu asked the chief branch several times to transfer him away from Mayi, but there was no news. Later, he almost died in Mayi during the Liu Wu Zhou Rebellion, and he and the Wang family's chief branch were already in harmony with each other.
Not to mention Wang Qing. He had contributed a lot to the Wang family in those years, but he was often embarrassed by the main branch, and even tried to seize his family property. Therefore, Wang Qing established a branch of the Wang family in Yunnei, and had long been with the Wang family.
Wang's main branches draw a clear line.
Moreover, Wang Qing had been with Li Po since he led the Hengan Town Army to join the army in Yunnei, and was the logistics manager of the Hengan Town Army.
In addition, he is similar to Chen Xiaoyi, Su Quan, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Liang and others. They are all private members of the Li Po Mansion. Their wealth and wealth are closely connected to the royal family, and there is no doubt about their loyalty.
Furthermore, Wang Qing has been traveling in the north for many years and is very familiar with the local situation. He also went to trade outside the Great Wall and was no stranger to the Turks.
With him in charge of Bingzhou, even if he cannot compare with Chen Xiaoyi in terms of talent, he will definitely be much better than others.
Of course, this was definitely not Li Po's whim. Wang Qing was selected after many comparisons after Chen Xiaoyi resigned. It can also be regarded as the best compliment to Wang Qing over the years.
Li Po actually had another candidate before Wang Qing, and that was Fan Wenjin, the general manager of Liangzhou. This person was a rather evil figure. Everyone else was still in Li Po's favor, but Fan Wenjin was a solid person.
Realize the merits you have made.
Moreover, he was the one who made the most important contribution to the founding of the country. He almost single-handedly pacified Liangzhou and is still making contributions in the northwest. Speaking of this person, Li Po can't help but feel a little guilty.
Over the years, he only briefly met Fan Wenjin once in Shangdang. He had never known each other before and never met again after that, but he had made great contributions to him.
The most amazing thing is that this man was very loyal. At that time, he was already a high-ranking official under the rule of Liang State. He still sent letters back several times, saying that he had not forgotten the purpose of his mission.
After that, his words and deeds were consistent, and there was no need for Li Po to send people to appease him. Almost as soon as Li Po entered Chang'an, he changed his banner without hesitation, without even a bargaining process.
Now, Fan Wenjin will do whatever Li Po tells him...
No matter what, this person is very magical and can be classified with the likes of Du Fuwei.
………………
After that, Li Po thought again and again and gave up the idea of sending Fan Wen to Jinyang, and he was about to start a war with Tubo. When Tubo died, it would not be too late to call this person back to report his duties in court, and he could be rewarded well then.
Thinking of Fan Wenjin, Li Po asked his wife, "Do you know Fan Wenjin?"
Li Bi was not surprised when her husband talked about this person. From the appointment of Wang Qing, it can be seen that her husband is skillful in employing people. Fan Wenjin... let alone that.
She then laughed and said, "That is my husband's genius. How could I not know about my concubine? Mr. Fan has served in the northwest for many years and his achievements are not trivial. Why? Is he going back to the court to report on his duties? I need to see my concubine. Others say
Most of them are called miraculous, and compared to them, all the ministers under my husband's rule are probably inferior by three points."
Li Po couldn't help but laugh. An envoy on a mission turned into a high-ranking official of the princes, and then brought a group of people to surrender. It was indeed magical.
"Then if you say I want to call him back to the court, will he simply come to Chang'an? What should I reward him when he comes to Chang'an?"
The meaning then became a little unpleasant. After hearing this, Li Bi couldn't help being shocked, but she felt relieved when she saw that her husband's face remained normal and his tone was very relaxed.
Speaking of which, it is normal for such meritorious officials to be jealous of the king. Once a minister reaches the point where there is no more kindness to be added and no merit to be rewarded, most of them will end up extremely miserable, and very few people will go on to become powerful ministers.
Huo Guang, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Gao Huan, and Yu Wentai were examples of powerful officials, while Wang Mang, Liu Yu, Chen Baxian, and Yang Jian simply usurped the throne and established themselves.
Compared with those people, Fan Wenjin still lacks many qualifications. At most, he may not dare to come to court and start a local rebellion.
Li Bi was still a little suspicious in her heart. Thinking about her husband's order to Zhang Lun and others to lead troops to the northwest, was it really for Tibet? Or was Fan Wenjin showing signs of recurrence?
Although she could hear some outside news in the palace, she had no way of knowing the real situation. Li Po's sudden question made her feel very suspicious.
"Judging from his past, he should not be a half-hearted person... A husband has always been able to choose talents and appoint them with ease, and Fan Wenjin will be no exception, right? Even if he has been in the northwest for a long time, it is really not easy to place him."
Li Po smiled and said: "That is to say, this guy is not good enough for a high level or a low level. Even if he returns to the court now to report on his duties and I reward him with the position of prime minister, he will not be able to do it.
And if you look at what he did in the northwest before, do you think everyone should be worried when he returns to serve in the government?"
The couple chatted and really had something to say. After talking, the two couples were both happy. Fan Wenjin turned his hands to make clouds and rain in the northwest, tossing the high-ranking officials in the northwest to death. Even an old man from Liang like Tongshi Xie
They were all so frightened by him that they took advantage of the opportunity to surrender and sneaked back to Kansai.
Of course, this is just gossip. Just as Li Po had estimated before, Northwest still cannot do without Manager Fan, and even if he wants to call him back to the court, it will take two years.
……………………
The next day, Li Po got up in the morning and went to Wude Hall to stretch his muscles as usual, and then went to Tai Chi Hall to work.
I looked through the official business that needed to be handled today and the people I wanted to see. I was just thinking of signing the transfer order for Wang Qing, the Minister of War, when my subordinate Yu Wenshi came to see me.
Mrs. Chengguo's wife, Mrs. Xiao, asked the emperor to come to Mrs. Chengguo's house to visit her.
It is naturally very rare for a minister to invite the emperor to visit him. There must be a legitimate and necessary reason, and the appointment procedure is also very cumbersome. It may be good to invite at the beginning of the year or to make an appointment at the end of the year. Except for clan relatives, most
Most people don't need to dream anymore.
It’s just that Mrs. Cheng Guo is special...
