The first thousand one hundred and eighty-ninth chapter Mingzhu (2)
Since government affairs have to be dealt with, naturally, this kind of thing must be left to professionals.
Who are the professionals?
Of course it is Da Nong Zhi Bu Dou (Shang Rong)!
Therefore, Liu Che looked directly at Zhi BuYi and Shang Rong who was following Zhi BuYi.
"Da Nong, please select for me the issues that the scholars and people are most concerned about today to be discussed at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting!" Liu Che ordered calmly.
After hearing the words, Zhi Busuo immediately came out happily and said: "I am here to obey the imperial edict!"
Naturally, he also knew that the emperor's intention was actually to let Shang Rong make the decision.
Originally, to be fair, a dignified minister was sidelined by his deputy, and he turned into a hand-off shopkeeper and mascot.
Anyone who can't bear this tone must find his place again.
But there is no doubt that it is extraordinary.
He is a smart man.
He knows his place and his role.
Since he entered the official career, he has not relied on ability or political performance to become an official.
He relies on his face and reputation.
His appearance is the undisputed number one among the officials of the Han Dynasty.
I am also personable and have a wide circle of friends.
Basically I have never heard of any enemies.
Naturally, since Taizong, everyone has been unanimous and praised, and his officialdom has been as fast as a rocket.
It only took him twenty years to go from being a Langguan to Jiuqing.
And it only took him more than ten years to go from a humble scholar to a noble lord of the Han family, half a year to be precise.
In the battle of Mayi, he did nothing.
Everything was left to Cheng Bushi, and he just stood at the front desk and acted like a show.
Then he performed meritorious service and was granted the title of Marquis.
Since you can get promoted and make a fortune just by showing off, why waste your brain cells?
Moreover, Zhi Busuo looked carefully.
Since Emperor Taizong, how many people who have worked hard for the king's affairs have a good ending?
Zhang Cang, Wenhou of Beiping, was in power for fifteen years. He determined the projects for hundreds of projects, established the Han Dynasty assessment system, despised corvee and despised taxes, paid attention to people's livelihood, adhered to principles, and had the world in mind.
But what's the result?
For the sake of an alchemist, Taizong gave up his position as prime minister.
There is also Jia Yi and Jia Changsha, the idols of thousands of scholars, the most famous and talented rookie in the Han Dynasty.
For the sake of the king, he worked hard from the age of twenty-one to thirty-two.
The result is just a poor meal in the middle of the night, not asking about the common people or ghosts and gods.
There is also Zhang Shizhi, who is famous all over the world.
A famous official of a generation with outstanding political achievements, he was the master of the Legalist and Tingwei systems of the Han Dynasty.
The results of it?
Far away from Huainan, I will never be able to return to Chang'an until my death!
It was only after Jinshang ascended the throne that Liu gradually began to pay attention to the achievements and contributions of those veterans.
Today, time and again, I use the story of Marquis Wen of Beiping as a guide to educate the ministers.
He also treated the elders and ministers kindly and gained the honor of being a elder.
But, he is already old.
I have passed my prime years and my hair is mottled. It is too hard to learn and adapt to the new era, and I may not learn anything.
Rather than messing up things yourself, it is better to leave it to capable young people.
Just like when he led an army to go on an expedition, he left everything to Cheng Bushi to make decisions, no matter how big or small. He was just a yes man.
There is even a joke among the military that they call him the 'General of Promise'.
But what's so shameful about that?
The war was won, the soldiers were rewarded, and he also received the title of lord that he dreamed of.
One book is enough to satisfy you, and you don’t have any more expectations!
As for the affairs of the big farmers?
That's more complicated than the military.
The Da Nong Order and the Shaofu jointly controlled and controlled the Han Dynasty's huge salt and iron official system and food protection policies.
The amount of money passed through was in the tens of millions, and the grain in storage was in the millions.
If anything goes wrong, heads will fill the streets of Chang'an.
Therefore, he simply left it all to Shang Rong.
He claims to the outside world that he is 'promoting the younger generation' and also claims that Shang Rong is his best successor.
This not only made Shang Rong grateful, but also made Shilin public opinion praise him.
Of course, Zhi Buyi can be regarded as the only giant among the nine ministers who relies on reputation and reputation to become an official.
Zhi Buyi has been able to persevere to this day, instead of going home to farm like Zhang Ou and others, or being sent to the south like Yuan An.
Naturally, he also has unique skills.
This trick is integrity!
He was so honest that even his own brother wanted to ask him to raise his hand for convenience, but he flatly refused!
He would even rather pay for the support of his relatives than allow them to do business or siphon supplies under his banner.
In the past two years, Zhi Buyi has also been thinking about becoming an official.
Zhi Buyi was tired of his career and career.
Or rather scared.
Because he saw that a new era was coming.
And he knew that he was no match for those energetic and enterprising young people.
It’s even harder to keep up with today’s world, which is developing and evolving at an ever-increasing pace.
Rather than wait until later to be rejected by others, or even regarded as an 'old stubborn'.
It's better to know your own interests and make room for young people.
Not only can you create a good relationship, but you can also leave a good impression on the emperor.
More importantly, if you take the initiative to resign, you will definitely get the treatment of a special elder.
In this way, even if he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests in the future, local officials and ordinary people will not dare to despise or neglect him.
If you have something to do, you can also use your status as a Tejin senator to come to Chang'an to show off your face, become familiar with the emperor, and make a few more entries in the history books.
Now, the emperor named Zhi Buyi to be responsible for selecting the topics for the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
This made Zhi Buyi immediately feel extremely grateful.
Now, my last wish was fulfilled.
Although, it was Shang Rong who finally did this.
However, he is the great farmer and the real Jiuqing.
This achievement must naturally be recorded on his head!
In the future, Shilin public opinion will praise and praise him as a big farmer.
"Your Majesty is truly a wise master!" After accepting the order, Zhi Buyi returned to his seat, looked at the emperor above him, and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that I am already old and decrepit..."
In fact, I am only in my fifties this year.
This should be the age when an official is most energetic.
However, he is already like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Both physically and mentally, I was exhausted.
Moreover, there is no pursuit or desire anymore.
In this case...
It's better to go back...
"After the Shiqu Pavilion meeting, I will beg for the bones..." Zhi Buyi turned around and looked at Shang Rong.
He was very impressed by the abilities, skills, and mobility of this unattractive young man.
The Da Nong Yamen was handed over to him, and I was very relieved.
And this world, under the control of the emperor today, with the help of many wise men, is also prospering.
Thinking of this, Zhi Busuo's face was filled with joy.
……………………
After Zhi Buyi, Liu Che handed over the security work of the Shiqu Pavilion meeting to Weiwei Feng Jing, handed over the formulation and arrangement of etiquette to Taichang Dou Pengzu, and handed over the reception work to Dahonglu Gongsun Kun.
evil.
Let Shaofu Liu She be responsible for logistics and related affairs.
Let Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, be the organizer of the speeches at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
In this way, among the three ministers and the nine ministers, basically everyone has something to do and is assigned a job.
All the ministers were so happy that they couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
No one would refuse such a thing as gaining reputation! (To be continued.)
