Chapter 476: Zhao Kuangyi stayed in Taiwan and the bell rang
Upon hearing Liu Yang's suggestion, Zhao Kuangyi, who had always been "feeling still", was slightly indifferent, his eyes blinked a few times faster than usual, and what followed was naturally his thoughts.
Going to Tokyo to take charge? This seems to be a good choice. The atmosphere here in Luoyang is too depressing. With the old emperor, the prince, and Zhao Pu around, his space for political activities is extremely limited.
The same cannot be said for Tokyo. Even though it had direct jurisdiction over Henan, and the power of the Huaihe River and the Three Roads was taken back under Zhao Pu's promotion, it was still a veritable imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. In terms of its time as the capital, it was much longer than Luoyang. In terms of prosperity, Luoyang
With the imperial court settling in, it was barely a tie.
The longer the imperial court stayed in Luoyang, not only did Tokyo not lose its status, but it also caused more people to miss Kaifeng. To be fair, since Fuhou died and Fu Ling came to the west, many years have passed. It's time for the emperor to go back and take a look.
Of course, Zhao Kuangyi is not among the "returning to Beijing faction". He has been in Luoyang Prefecture for many years, so his foundation is much deeper in Luoyang. There are so many prefects before and after Luoyang Prefecture, in terms of urban economic development and system construction,
No one can compare to Zhao Kuangyi in caring for people's livelihood. Many aspects of Luoyang Mansion today were laid during Zhao Kuangyi's tenure.
If it weren't for the Huazhou corruption case, his brother Zhao Kuangmei would also be involved with the noble son who committed the crime. After a few more years, the bond between Zhao Kuangyi and Luoyang would be even deeper.
Even so, a large number of officials under Luoyang Prefecture and its surrounding prefectures and counties were promoted during Zhao Kuangyi's administration. Over the past ten years, many of them have reached high positions in the officialdom of Gyeonggi and have become an important influence of Zhao Kuangyi's power.
support.
However, for Zhao Kuangyi today, it seems that his attention is more focused on the center of power.
The greater value of the disciples and old officials below is reflected in the fact that when power is declining, a group of people are needed to wave the flag and run errands. However, in the struggle at the top, they will not play much role, or even be counterproductive. "Conclusion
The word "party" is always a knife hanging over the heads of powerful officials.
Under such circumstances, when the prince proposed that he go to Tokyo to take charge, Zhao Kuangyi was tempted after a quick weigh. Compared with "wasting time" in Luoyang, going to Tokyo could not only get rid of the shadow of the emperor and prime minister, but also be in his own home.
There are still other ways to gain power.
During the imperial capital of Luoyang, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, Tokyo's status in Taiwan was gradually weakening. Over the years, the establishment was reduced, and the rank of the chief executive in Tokyo was downgraded. However, it was not abolished after all. As long as he left, wouldn't the situation change?
He, Zhao Kuangyi, is after all the top three prime ministers in the political affairs hall. If he is in charge of Tokyo's affairs in Taiwan, the meaning will suddenly be different. At least the specifications can be restored to the past level.
Nowadays, among the top ministers in the political affairs hall, the only ones ranked before Zhao Kuangyi are Zhao Pu and Lu Liu Ai. No matter how powerful Zhao Pu is, he is still very old. The decay in the past two years is visible to the naked eye. As for Liu Ai, he is even more of an old emperor.
Can't find a suitable royal candidate to replenish the number.
It stands to reason that staying in Luoyang is the most beneficial thing for Zhao Kuangyi. Once something goes wrong with old Zhao Pu, who else can be the replacement besides him, "Xiao Xianggong Zhao".
If ten years ago, Zhao Kuangyi would really think like this and plan like this, but now, if he has other choices, it is a decisive decision. The reason is that Zhao Kuangyi "enlightened" that as long as the old emperor is here, he
Zhao Kuangyi will never be able to "reach the top".
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi had already put his mind behind the old emperor, waiting for the day when the crown prince ascended the throne. This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyi has remained low-key and easy-going in recent years, no longer causing trouble, and focusing on being a good minister and minister of the great man.
.
If you can go to Tokyo, although you are temporarily away from the Imperial Palace, you can also stay away from the old emperor who is the greatest threat to you and is completely unpredictable and controllable. At the same time, you can continue to work in Tokyo. The best expectation is that one day, the two capitals will work together to achieve a common goal.
support the dynasty
He had an idea in his mind, but showed tangle on his face. Zhao Kuangyi looked at Liu Yang with a hesitant look and said: "Your Highness, the current rain disaster has not yet happened, and it is not enough for important ministers to go to Tokyo to take charge. Kuang, Zai
If I want to stay in Taiwan, I still need to ask His Majesty for instructions!"
"Just to prepare for a rainy day!" Liu Yang acted very simply, looked around and said: "As for His Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall has made a decision and submitted a request for instructions. I don't think he will veto it. However, regarding this matter,
Prime Minister Zhao, do you have any objections to Prime Minister Lu?"
After hearing the question, Lu Duan thought about it for a moment, looked at the prince and Zhao Kuangyi, cupped his hands and said, "Be prepared and be prepared. Uncle Guangyang will come and coordinate nearby, and you will be safe! I second my opinion!"
After Lu Duan finished speaking, Old Zhao Pu also opened his misty old eyes and said softly: "I have no objections!"
Prime Minister Zhao and Lu seconded the proposal, and it can basically be done in accordance with the unanimous resolution of the Political Hall. Under normal circumstances, the old emperor is very stubborn and rarely overturns it. It can be said that Zhao Kuangyi's stay in Taiwan and Tokyo has been decided.
.
It has to be said that at this time, Zhao Kuangyi really hoped that the rain would cause a catastrophe, otherwise, he would be short of money to go to Tokyo.
Just when Zhao Kuangyi was guessing the reason why Liu Yang asked him to go to Tokyo, Lu Guogong Liu Yan walked in, swept around, targeted Liu Yang, stepped forward and handed over an official document: "His Royal Highness, the Governor's Mansion of Anxi
There is a seal on the table, it is an important matter, please review it!"
Liu Yan was the successor to Wu Gong Liu Hui, but since he was young, he had been a little transparent. How could he take on the responsibilities of the political hall? In this regard, even Liu Hui could not compare.
As a result, the dignified princes, dukes, and ministers have been more like errand-running officials in the political affairs hall in the past few months. They cannot do technical work, and they have no insightful suggestions. But again, compared to small thoughts,
Liu Hui, who constantly resorted to small tricks, and Liu Ai's mediocre performance actually received high praise.
After all, no matter how mediocre he is, he is still the son of the old emperor. Who dares to look down on him? At the same time, a harmless prince is poking at the political hall, so why not give him more respect?
Liu Yang's attitude toward his younger brother, who had always been law-abiding, was naturally cordial. He motioned for him to sit down and at the same time, he began to read Anxi's memorial. There is no need to elaborate on the content of the petition, which is nothing more than what Liu Min plans to implement in Anxi.
Newly made, these things also made Liu Yang frown.
Seeing that the ministers were paying attention to him and full of curiosity, Liu Yang breathed out softly, raised the memorial in his hand, and said: "This memorial in Anxi is interesting, please circulate it first."
The sound of rain outside the hall gradually became quieter. As the memorial for requesting instructions for the restructuring of Anxi was shared, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more subtle. The changes in the expressions of the Gonggun princes in the political hall were really worth pondering.
Song Zhun, who had the lowest qualifications, was the last to read and the first to express his position. He even seemed a little indignant and said solemnly: "What does the King of Wei want to do? Your Highness, I must not agree to this memorial, otherwise I, the great Han Dynasty, will be punished."
will be destroyed!"
"Song Qing, don't be anxious -" Seeing Song Zhun's eager look, Liu Yang couldn't help but comfort him, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the sound of a bell.
Including Liu Yang, everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and Song Zhun even stood up. The bell came from the inner court, and its timbre and frequency were unique in the imperial city. Each sound sounded like it was striking.
On everyone's mind.
Counting silently, he knocked a total of seven times before he stopped. At the same time, he felt inexplicably relaxed. The lingering sound seemed to still be echoing in his ears. Official matters could not be discussed for the time being. Liu Yang took the lead and set off to meet the driver at Chui Gong Hall.
The last time the "Dragon Bell" rang, the funeral report of King Liu Xu of Qin arrived in Beijing, and it also rang seven times. Obviously, another noble person passed away in the palace this time.
Seeing the prince setting off, the others followed closely behind. As for the strangeness when the bell started ringing just now, they all tacitly chose to ignore it...
