On the 22nd day of the fifth month of the first year of the Qing Dynasty, Zhongshu made the amnesty and issued an edict to remove the conferment. Li Di, a bachelor of Zizhengdian, Zhitian Xiongjun, was worshiped as a bachelor of Jixiandian, and was under the same title as Pingzhang of Zhongshu.
After the incident, he was promoted to the rank of Shangshu Zuopushe, and was given the title of meritorious official: "Tui Zhong, Conspiracy, Tong De, Assistant, and Li Meritorious Officer."
As a result, the Song Dynasty ended the eleven-month history of the independent prime minister of Zhengshitang.
Li Dili is retro and will return to Bianjing!
Although, his return to Beijing this time was actually just a formality.
This famous minister of Zhenzong and the emperor's master is already sixty-eight years old this year and will soon be sixty-nine.
However, the Song Dynasty had a system in which civil and military ministers and officials, regardless of their size, high or low, were appointed to official positions at seventy.
In actual operation, for the sake of face and reputation, almost all officials will choose to beg on their sixty-ninth birthday.
Especially important ministers care about this.
When the time comes, take the initiative to become an official.
Therefore, Li Di's visit to the prime minister this time is more of a reward for merit than an appointment.
The nature of honor is greater than power.
A veteran minister who is sixty-eight years old and is about to turn sixty-nine will actually have no energy left to deal with high-intensity government affairs.
Therefore, Gan Zhaoji, who was well-informed, immediately reported the matter to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin was lying on a bamboo chair basking in the sun. After listening to Gan Zhaoji's report, he immediately sat up.
Because he knows that history has changed.
In his previous life, Li Di would not enter Beijing from his hometown of Puzhou under the service of his son until he became an official next year. He had no experience of paying homage to the prime minister for the third time.
Now, Li Dichuoka once again paid homage to the prime minister before he was about to retire, becoming one of the few ministers who could pay homage to the prime minister three times since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
"Does Duke Shen know about this?" Zhao Xin asked.
Shen Guogong Lu Yijian and Li Di are mortal enemies!
The grievances and hatreds between these two people could fill a million-word novel altogether.
Speaking of which, Lu Yijian seemed to have fallen out with everyone who had ever been his boss.
Li Di, Wang Zeng, Wang Sui...
Especially Wang Zeng and Li Di are like fire and water to Lu Yijian.
Legend has it that in the first year of Baoyuan, Wang Zeng suddenly fell ill and couldn't bear it. Zhao Zhen sent an envoy to express condolences. Finally, the envoy asked Wang Zeng: "Dong Yi, do you have anything else to ask?"
Wang Zeng grabbed the messenger's hand and asked, "Can Lu Tanfu pay homage to the prime minister?"
When he heard that there was no such thing, he smiled and passed away.
Of course, this is just gossip, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
However, it is well known that there are many conflicts between Lu Yijian and veterans such as Li Di and Wang Zeng.
"It is said that Mr. Shen personally wrote a letter to Mr. Li to urge Mr. Li to come to Beijing from Weizhou..." Gan Zhaoji lowered his head and said.
Zhao Xin immediately became curious: "Is Mr. Li willing to read the letter from Mr. Shen Guo?"
Liu Yongnian said from the side: "My lord, I heard that the person who delivered the letter for Duke Shen is Chen Zhizhong..."
"Oh..." Zhao Xin was relieved immediately.
Chen Zhizhong was Li Di's old friend. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, it was Chen Zhizhong who first advocated the establishment of a crown prince, and Li Di subsequently followed up, which resulted in the subsequent Zishantang discussion system.
With him coming to deliver the letter, Li Di, no matter how much he hated Lu Yijian, had to give this old friend a little less respect.
"Isn't Chen Zhizhong in Qingzhou?" Zhao Xin became curious: "How did he go to Weizhou to deliver the letter?"
Qingzhou and Weizhou are at least two thousand miles apart!
"It was in February, when Chen Zhizhong returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Duke Shen specifically came to request..." Liu Yongnian had received extensive information, so he immediately explained.
"Oh..." Zhao Xin nodded, and then said: "Xiangong Li is a national hero, a veteran, and was Aye's teacher..."
"Liu Qing..." He sat up and told Liu Yongnian: "When your husband returns to the capital, you will go out of the city to welcome him personally in the name of an orphan. You must be cautious, respectful, and bear the etiquette of a younger disciple..."
"I would like to honor your virtue!" Liu Yongnian suddenly cheered loudly in his heart with joy.
Li Di Li is retro, that is the benchmark for Shihlin!
Integrity, incorruptibility, loyalty, virtue...
Contemporary scholars and officials call him the "Two Lis" together with Li Hang, the imperial master of Zhenzong.
What is Li Hang's status?
A famous official who is almost the same as King Zhao Pu of Han!
Being able to serve as the representative of Duke Shou to welcome such a person back to the capital is a great honor and a great asset for political governance!
………………
Before Li Di returned to Beijing, Lu Yijian's son Lu Gongzhu arrived in Beijing in advance.
On the day Lu Gongzhu arrived in Beijing, the whole Bianjing knew about it.
Because he has a great reputation.
Legend has it that when he was seven or eight years old, other children were playing and playing, and he was the only one reading in the study room without eating or sleeping.
Many times, he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't eat all day long.
After Lv Yijian found out, he praised him greatly, promoted him as his most proud son, and widely introduced Lv Gong's works to his disciples. The meaning is obvious - this is the person who inherits my mantle, and you must take care of him in the future. !
The most famous deed of Lu Gongzhu is that in the first year of Baoyuan, he had already obtained an official position because of his father's influence, so he did not need to take the Jinshi examination, but he still participated in the imperial examination that year and passed the exam in one fell swoop.
After becoming a Jinshi, Zhao Zhen originally wanted to grant him a post in the library and give him preferential treatment, but he refused and ran back to his hometown of Shouzhou to study.
Therefore, Lu Gongzhu is a typical "child of other people" in the Song Dynasty.
As soon as he returned to Beijing, he immediately attracted countless attention.
The common people in the city were naturally envious and curious, but the high-level ministers all knew very well what Mr. Lu wanted to do when he came to Beijing at this time.
After Lu Gongzhu returned to Beijing, he was summoned on the same day.
Soon, the news spread from Yanhe Hall.
Zhao Zhen worshiped Lu Gongzhu as the governor of Zishantang and knew the affairs of Chunfang Zuo.
Although Lu Gong wrote that "I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility because of my limited virtue and talent!" However, everyone knows that this is just a formality and a false story.
Eventually, he will definitely accept the appointment.
Of course, official positions and assignments will be reduced by one or two levels to show that the son of the prime minister really does not pursue fame and fortune.
This is an old problem among literati. They have to refuse appointments and have to be dismissed by the king again and again.
Everyone knew it was a show, but everyone enjoyed it.
After Zhao Xin learned about this, he immediately asked Gan Zhaoji to clean up the left hall of Chunfang, clean up the halls, attics and government offices that had been vacant and abandoned for a long time, and prepare to welcome a large number of civil servants to settle in Chunfang.
Because he knew that behind Mr. Lu, the civil servants and officials who poured into Chunfang with him would have dozens or hundreds of tricks.
"Liu Qing..." After sending Gan Zhaoji away, Zhao Xin waved to Liu Yongnian, called him to his side, and ordered in a low voice: "From today on, the security matters inside and outside Chunfang will be in five shifts, under your command , based on the capital, the shift changes every two hours..."
"Especially near Gu's dormitory, forty well-armed, capable and brave warriors must be on standby at any time and at any time!"
When Liu Yongnian heard this, he lowered his head and said, "I understand..."
"Don't let anyone know about this..." Zhao Xin looked at him: "Be sure to keep outsiders from knowing about the arrangements..."
Liu Yongnian nodded, and was about to turn around to make arrangements, but was stopped by Zhao Xin: "The general conveyed Gu's intention to the guards, and said that from today onwards, for those who guard Zhi in shifts, the solitary generals will be given special shift pay.
A piece of cloth is worth XNUMX dollars..."
Liu Yongnian listened and said respectfully: "The Duke is benevolent, and I will give the Duke's grace to every soldier!"
He knew that with the addition of the Duke, the soldiers under his command would be full of fighting spirit.
Not to mention the fifth shift, even the second shift, there is no complaint.
The Forbidden Army has always been like this - if the money is in place, everything can be said and done easily.
This has been a tradition for five generations.
Zhao Xin looked at Liu Yongnian's retreating figure, rubbed his temples, and thought to himself: "It's a pity that the Song Dynasty lacks ministers who can feed the imperial army chicken soup for the soul..."
"I don't know. In the future, I will have to learn from Steve Jobs and instill some 'wolf spirit', 'team spirit' and 'dedication spirit' into the Forbidden Army..."
How can a ruler keep asking for money?
How can it be so realistic?
Look at how well-behaved the coders of future generations are!
985 for going to school, 996 for going to work, 035 for being dismissed, 251 for resigning, and 404 for rights protection.
How wonderful that is!
In the final analysis, I still haven’t drunk enough chicken soup. I don’t understand what hard work means and what a wolf team is!
