"The first village of Xihe Jiazi in Heyin County, Zhengzhou..."
On the last day of February, in front of the third gate on the west side of Xuande Building, many people turned their heads because of the appearance of a special serial number, including a middle-aged official in scarlet robe who was passing by, but they quickly turned their heads again.
, after all, there must be this first village, and it should be located in Heyin.
This is because after the government recaptured Tokyo, they held military parades and gatherings in Heyin.
"When did you settle down?" The official responsible for recording immediately returned to normal. "Where is your place of origin?"
"In March of the third year of Jianyan, I was originally from Ruzhou." The head of the village named Zhou Bin responded carefully.
"The time is right." The official said, finally putting down his pen again, and then frowned. "But Ruzhou is so close, why don't you go home?"
This question caused the scarlet-robed official next to him to look over curiously again.
"So that the chief officer knows that there are two reasons for this matter." The head of the village, named Zhou Bin, saw the senior official next to him and looked at him. Although he flinched, he answered fluently, as if he had read a book. "One is me.
At that time, he was kidnapped into the rebel Zhang Yu's army. He was pardoned and resettled, and he had no choice but to go anywhere. The other was that he returned to his hometown in the fourth year of Jianyan. After asking about it, he found out that the entire town in his hometown had been kidnapped by Zhang Yu.
, there were not a few men and women left, so they simply settled down nearby and started a family on the spot..."
The clerk in charge of registration sighed slightly after hearing this, then lowered his head and recorded: "It has been like this for several years. It is said to be quite far away, but in fact it is only three, four or five years... It looks like you have studied and married.
He joined the Hun family in Hebei, so he was promoted to the head of the village?"
"Yes." Zhuangtou surnamed Zhou answered simply.
"I actually know that people like you, after going through those things, have lost all thoughts and just want to settle down well." The clerk from the Ministry of Household Affairs continued to lower his head to record, but he sneered in response. "Yes or no?"
"Yes." The dealer still said simply.
"Okay, that's how it is now." The official from the Ministry of Household Affairs put away his smile and said seriously. "We previously took out an interest-free real estate loan in Kaifeng Prefecture, so we know more or less about it. Now we are building villages along the river, like you.
There are only a few of them. Most of them are soldiers who have retired from the imperial camp and are not easy to talk to. And you have read books and know their deep feelings, and you stay here to negotiate for us for two days... I won’t delay you for three days.
In the future, you will get a loan and pay for food and accommodation. In your county, there is a kind of errand work. One person is responsible for ten villages, and he is dedicated to giving instructions and summarizing to the village heads of the military and civilian villages. The money is not much, but the things are done.
It’s not much, it’s more or less an errand, and there’s also free house registration… Do you want to come?”
"Why don't you come if you have the honor to do so?" Zhou Zhuangtou responded quickly.
It was at this time that the middle-aged scarlet-robed official who had been watching for a while finally turned around. After walking through the bustling Royal Street and entering the diagonally opposite Dibao Courtyard, he forgot about the scene just now.
This scarlet-robed official is none other than Shi Censor Li Jing.
Moreover, since ancient times, it has been said that officials avoid the censor. What's more, in the Song Dynasty, the censor's position with the ability to suppress the governor was very important, and Li Jing was already the highest-ranking censor in Taichung?
Therefore, as soon as he entered the residence and reported to the courtyard, many officials gathered in the courtyard bowed their hands, but they also tried to avoid him.
Li Jing, who was only in his thirties, was quite embarrassed, but he had no choice but to follow the path that everyone had taken, until someone called him from afar:
"Is this Shu Yi (characterized by Li Jing)? Come and sit here."
Li Jing took a closer look and saw Chen Gongfu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, sitting alone on a long bench in the corner of the courtyard. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him... Opposite Chen Gongfu, an official in scarlet robes also stood up with a smile.
, naturally gave up his seat to Li Jing.
In other words, although Chen Gongfu was the one who opposed Taoism most vigorously, he opposed it from the beginning, rather than adapting to the trend later. This caused Chen Gongfu to still remain separated from many minority groups in the court, including the Li Gang brothers.
posture.
And no matter what, both parties are still fellows from the southeast (Li Gang and Li Jing brothers are from Shaowu, Fujian, and Chen Gongfu is from Linhai, Taizhou), and they both have a political affinity. In addition, Chen Gongfu is now an official in the Ministry of Personnel,
His position is prominent and important, and although he has a free and upright temperament, he is a bit older. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties has always been relatively respectable.
"Does the chief minister also deign to come and wait for the report?" After sitting down, Li Jing immediately changed his southeastern accent, asked with a wry smile, and was extremely polite in his words... This politeness was more for Chen Gongfu's age than his official position.
"If the imperial censor can come and wait in person, why can't I, a court official, come?" Chen Gongfu responded casually, still with the same free and easy temperament. "Besides, look at the crimson green courtyard, why are you and me missing?"
"That's right." Li Jing also looked at the officials in the courtyard and sighed slightly. "It's not so much that so many people are condescending, but it's more that the weight of Di Bao nowadays is no longer comparable to that of a subordinate of Honglu Temple... The chief minister
,Didn’t the officials say something?”
"Of course there are opinions." Chen Gongfu responded frankly. "But they were all refuted by the provincial government. It seems that the officials were tight and did not interfere, and they decided that Hu Quan was easy to use."
"If that's the case." Li Jing held his knees and thought thoughtfully. "It should be two years later, when Hu Quan's qualifications are up, he will gradually turn Di Bao into a director, and then be promoted to a prison... He will not be a subordinate...
It's just that having such a crucial position in the hands of one person all year round will inevitably lead to some personal tendencies being mixed into it."
"The officials want to use Hu Quan's personal tendencies to control the newspaper." Chen Gongfu still said one thing, and his words were unbelievable. "Before the Northern Expedition succeeds, there should be no changes, just like the few prime ministers
Generally speaking, after Zhao Xianggong has consolidated his wings, Zhang Xianggong will move forward without hesitation..."
Li Jing finally fell silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly in response: "Does the chief minister also know these two sentences?"
"Although I don't know what the newspaper will say today, these two sentences have already spread throughout the world." Chen Gongfu also laughed and said. "Xianggong Zhang is not a person who can keep his temper. Even Uncle Yi did what he did because of Zhang Shuxiang.
Did you come here early to see what happened?"
Li Jing was silent for a moment and did not respond.
Chen Gongfu smiled and turned to look at the courtyard.
By the way, as the time is getting closer and closer to the evening, more and more officials are pouring into the Di newspaper courtyard, waiting for today's impressive Di newspaper edition to be printed... Different from the past, today's Di newspaper has already
We have our own block printing workshop. Except for some specific supplements, there will be a special summary block printing every ten days. We neatly arrange sixteen pieces of paper to collect the information for one ten days and carry out large-scale printing to reduce costs.
.
However, due to the existence of proofreading, typesetting, and engraving before this type of printing, various information was inevitably leaked in advance, so it is unlikely that this phenomenon will occur today.
But this time, there is actually a reason:
First of all, of course, Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan's big mouth... After this guy told Zhao Guan's family his review of "Water Margin" that day, he got an indomitable comment. He really couldn't help it, so throughout February,
Mr. Zhang has revealed this comment given to him by the officials dozens of times through various formal and informal occasions.
Correspondingly, everyone probably knows that Xianggong Zhang seems to have made a great match between the emperor and his ministers, and made a big news, but the officials have words and it is difficult to disclose it at the moment.
Immediately, the other ministers present, as well as Yushi Zhongcheng Li Guang, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Yan Xiaozhong, and many close ministers present at the time roughly verified the news... and almost everyone also said that the official family should have a
It was clearly instructed that Xianggong Zhang’s memorial would not be published through Di Bao until the promotion of mulberry fish ponds as village public property was on track.
Finally, at the end of February, when the imperial newspaper on the first day of March was about to come out, not only were the imperial students who participated in the proofreading were not allowed to leave privately for interrogation, but the palace also sent an imperial squad to guard the printing room directly, and these actions also had the opposite effect.
I came here to verify those previous statements - Mr. Zhang really made big news!
"It should have been printed a long time ago." His eyes swept over several well-armed imperial guards, and the gray-bearded Chen Gongfu turned back to face Li Jing in front of him. "It's just that Hu Quan is deliberately stalling for time..."
"How long can he delay?" Li Jing, who was only in his thirties, looked at the sky and sneered.
When Chen Gongfu heard this, he was slightly moved, but suddenly changed the topic: "Shu Yi is also wearing a scarlet robe now."
Li Jing was startled for a moment, then smiled again: "It's all thanks to the official's grace."
"That's true." Chen Gongfu nodded, and then suddenly asked, "In that case, do you have any plans to let the state capital go?"
Li Jing was startled and opened his mouth to reply, but his mind kept changing and he could only say nothing.
When Chen Gongfu saw the other party's reaction, he woke up, but did not ask further questions. He just waited for the newspaper to be released.
By the way, these last few sentences between the two of them seemed very few, but they really touched upon Li Jing's current pain point.
It should be noted that before the restructuring of the Yushitai, there was only one purple robe and one scarlet robe, namely Yushi Zhongcheng and Shiyu Shizhizashi... The former is the de facto director of the platform, and the latter is the de facto deputy director, but they are not permanent.
That's all...the rest are all green robes.
However, as we all know, the currently reigning Emperor Jianyan has always been generous in some aspects. Since he moved to Nanyang, the Song Dynasty court has been carrying out intermittent reforms in the official system in the direction of matching the name and reality. It is natural to put it here at Yushitai
It is no exception. Not only did the censor Zhongcheng mention the third rank, the previous position of serving the censor and knowing the miscellaneous affairs was also directly cancelled, and became the serious censor Tai Shaocheng. He was the third rank and also wore a purple robe.
As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats, and what followed was that Shi Yushi was directly promoted to the fifth rank, wearing a scarlet robe.
So Li Jing's statement that it was the grace of the officials was absolutely correct.
However, the key to the problem is not what kind of robe, but that since Li Jing has now become the censor, there is still a vacant position of deputy director in front of him, but from the fifth grade to the third grade, from the scarlet robe directly to the purple robe.
It makes no sense. Generally speaking, at this time, there is no reason why a senior official like Li Jing should not seek a job.
Especially Li Jing, who reached the prestigious position of serving as censor in his early thirties, and has a bright future ahead of him:
If you are lucky, you can follow the path of Ma Shen, the Minister of Punishment. If something goes wrong, he will ask you to go out to oversee the affairs, take advantage of the situation and use your merits to stay as an economic envoy, and then come back as a minister.
And if Ma Shen has caught up with the special period of three years as minister and five years as prime minister, then no matter how bad it is, considering Li Jing's current situation, if he just invites himself to serve for a while, he will definitely be a top state capital. When he comes back
You can also be a minister, and then ascend to the secret pavilion calmly.
Of course, the official robes and other things will definitely be purple by then.
At that time, roughly speaking, Li Shuyi was probably not even forty years old... What did a purple-robed secret pavilion official who was not forty years old want to do in this life?
But who gave Li Jing another identity?
Everyone knows that he is the third brother of Li Gang and Li Boji! And everyone also knows that there is a huge age difference between the two. They are not so much brothers as they are father and son.
At the same time, everyone still knows that although Li Jing won the Jinshi title more than ten years ago, his rapid rise to success is essentially because he is Li Gang's third brother.
Whether it was Zhao Guan's family or Li Gang who was far away in the southeast, they just regarded Li Jing as a tool, a mouthpiece for Li Gang to stay in the court.
So, can it be his own business whether he lets it go or not?
Just when two fellows from the southeast, one red and one purple, were facing each other and thinking about something, as the sun set to the west, the shadow of the courtyard wall of the Dibao Courtyard gradually spread over the entire courtyard. Suddenly, the door of the printing workshop was opened together, and then there was
Unexplainable laborers came out carrying dozens of baskets, and inside the baskets were copies of newspapers still smelling of ink.
Immediately, the lower-ranking officials and some green-robed petty officials among the officials in the Dibao courtyard swarmed up, and bumped into the Tai students who came out to register, and the two sides started handing over in the corridor... Personally
They are not eligible to receive Dibao. They need to report their official position and the department they represent before they can receive a fixed number of Dibao.
Of course, Chen Gongfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, did not need to line up in person to receive it. Soon, relevant officials from the Ministry of Personnel took the newspaper and hurriedly gave it to his own officials. However, Li Shuyi did not care about his propriety and stood up directly and came behind Chen Gongfu.
I read someone else's newspaper.
However, Chen Shangshu opened the Di newspaper on the bench and glanced at it for a few moments. After a moment, he stood up, twirled the Di newspaper with his hands and left, leaving only the pale-faced imperial censor Li Jing, and Di who was gradually getting excited.
Report to the hospital.
Not to mention when Li Jing reacted and when he went back to write a report to his brother. It only said that Chen Gongfu, the chief minister, carried the di newspaper behind his back and left the di newspaper courtyard. He came to the imperial street and found his donkey on the roadside.
He sat directly behind the car, and the car started carrying his master, but instead of returning home, he went to the mansion of another court official.
When we arrived here, the master of the family had not returned yet, but Chen Gongfu went directly into the back hall of the family and sat on the guest table as if he was in a deserted place. Not only that, the hostess of the family came out directly to see Chen Shangshu.
On the other hand, he left his three sons to serve him in the back hall.
Obviously, Chen Gongfu had a close relationship with the owner of the family, and the friendship between the two parties had reached a certain level.
After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, the owner of the family came back. He heard that his family had come to report, and he seemed to have expected it. Then he went directly to the back hall to see Chen Gongfu... none other than Li Guang, Li Taifa, the imperial censor at the time.
When the two met, they did not exchange greetings. Chen Gongfu put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the tea, took a few sips, and then spoke to each other: "No wonder Taifa didn't want to tell me that day, Zhang Deyuan really turned the sky upside down?!"
When Li Guang heard this, he sat down and smiled bitterly, regardless of his three sons standing beside him: "Actually, it's not just because of how much trouble Zhang Deyuan caused this time, but because the officials had orders in person that day, and ministers really need to be more particular...
Of course, Zhang Deyuan did make such a fuss that I was restrained on the spot and found it difficult to defend myself."
"You may overthrow the sky, but you don't necessarily have to defend it." Chen Gongfu shook his head in reply. "Although some of the regulations are too outrageous, the principle of the Northern Expedition is still correct, and the principle that the Northern Expedition is related to the fundamental foundation of the country is also correct...
…Why seek complete blame?”
Li Guang was startled at first, and then sighed: "Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"
Chen Gongfu frowned: "Compared to this, let me talk about another thing first... Are these five suggestions really the ability of Zhang Deyuan himself?"
"Of course not." Li Guang sighed again. "I have thought about it for many days, and this is what I thought...Army expansion and alliance are what the title is supposed to mean, no need to say more; the so-called An Hou means sending Quan Bangyan and Guo Zhong
Xun and Zong Zhongwu's former subordinates went to Jiangxi to lead the troops, but they were a bit cruel. I'm afraid it was Lu Zhi's idea; and the fifth thing, building wealth, was the progress of the Northern Expedition that had been planned for three to five years.
It should be Lin Shangshu's idea, he has a secret... But for the fourth thing, which is Empress An, I really can't figure out whose idea it was. After thinking about it, Liu Ziyu is most likely.
These can’t be crooked, can they?”
"I'm afraid only Zhang Deyuan can explain this kind of thing clearly, but he will never explain it clearly." Chen Gongfu also shook his head. "But it doesn't matter. No matter who came up with the idea, it shows that after this internal and external exchange,
, Zhang Deyuan has someone in his pocket who can come up with these ideas, and Zhang Deyuan himself dares to reveal these five points in public, and it can indeed be said that he is moving forward for the sake of the officialdom and the overall situation... From now on, no matter it is
No one can regard him as just a means used by the officials to suppress Xianggong Zhao, but as the real Xianggong of Xifu."
Li Guang was silent for a while and then nodded heavily.
"Are you thinking about how to explain to Southeast Li Gongxiang?" Chen Gongfu looked at his old friend's face and suddenly asked again.
"Yes." Li Guang sighed again and again. "It's difficult... Let's not talk about anything else. How can I explain to Li Gongxiang the two matters of empress peace and rectification of her name? I was clearly in front of the emperor that day, but I didn't say a word and ignored these two things.
Has the matter passed?"
"What do you want me to explain?" Chen Gongfu sneered and shook his head. "You are two years younger than me, but you still have such an old-fashioned way of thinking... Do you want to be a pawn for him all your life just because of the kindness of Mr. Li?
If you really want to talk about the kindness of knowing and encountering someone, isn’t it true that today’s officials are treating you with the kindness of knowing someone and meeting you?”
"The official is the emperor..."
"To repay the favor of the emperor, you have to die as a remonstrance; to repay the favor of the prime minister, you have to be a dog and a horse?" Chen Gongfu became more and more impatient. "Do you know that even his own brother can't stand Li Boji's tyrannical style? You still can't bear it?
What kind of leader do you want to be if you stick to the so-called Gongxiang Li’s faction? As everyone knows, this so-called Gongxiang Li’s party has long since disappeared. Even if it exists, it is not the party that the world’s reputation depended on in the past, and it is not your turn to be the leader!”
Li Guang was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head: "I'm just explaining to Mr. Li. It's mainly because I'm in trouble. If nothing else, what can Emperor Taishang Yuansheng say? After all, he is the emperor who has shown kindness to you and me.
…”
"Again, if we talk about the kindness of knowing and meeting, then the current officials are not the kindness of knowing and meeting you?" Chen Gongfu seemed to have expected this question. "Besides, the kindness of Emperor Taishang Yuansheng to you is so shallow.
?You had the merit of supporting him in the beginning, but he also wanted to control people's hearts with those who were in charge of the battle, so he promoted you to the imperial censor. But when he wanted to negotiate a peace, he demoted you to the Tingzhou wine tax...
Being so half-hearted and using talents as a bargaining chip, is this the way a ruler should behave? Today, on the contrary, I have promoted you again and again. In two or three years, you have been promoted to the director of Yushitai, and you have been the half-prime minister for many years.
Even during the White Horse incident, I didn’t forget to specifically try to retain you, but that’s not considered a favor?”
Li Guang was silent again.
"Do you know why I came to find you today?" Chen Gongfu was hot on his heels.
Li Guang tried his best to shake his head and said, "Didn't you come here to report these five things to Prime Minister Zhang?"
"Yes and no." Chen Gongfu finally sighed. "Taifa, although I am here for this matter, what I want to say is not about these things. I am worried about you..."
Li Guang was finally startled.
"Let me tell you, you are well-educated, knowledgeable, well-respected, and have the demeanor of a famous minister, but you have two huge flaws in your temperament." Chen Gongfu looked serious and looked coldly in front of Li Guang's three adult sons.
Revealing the shortcomings. "First of all, you have a good reputation. You know clearly that things are roughly right and wrong, and you know the basic advantages and disadvantages of people, but you always have to argue and argue over small details and do unnecessary things just for a little reputation!"
"I also know this problem." Li Guang raised his tea bowl in embarrassment to cover it up. "You are not the only one who said it. I will try my best to change it..."
"That's all." Chen Gongfu ignored the embarrassment of the Li family and his son and continued to say coldly. "The key is not to understand the general situation! It's okay to be angry and have a good reputation for small things, but you have to be angry and have a good reputation for big things, but you don't know that for a small thing
His efforts in vain will ruin the overall situation, and he may end up with the reputation of a buffoon in the history books in the future, but he is still complacent."
Li Guang finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Brother Guozuo, please don't slander anyone... When have I ever done anything that could endanger the overall situation?"
"I ask you, is the Northern Expedition right?" Chen Gongfu said happily and not afraid.
Li Guang opened his mouth to speak, but unexpectedly the other party asked directly: "Is it the overall situation?!"
Li Guang wanted to say more, but Chen Gongfu had already asked again: "The original text has been written in the Di newspaper. The official said that after the matter is published in the newspaper, let's wait and see who has anything to say... Have you already written the relevant text these days?
I have revised the memorial countless times, and I am going to tell Prime Minister Zhang tomorrow what is wrong with the third and fourth matters?"
Li Guang's expression finally changed drastically, and below him and Chen Gongfu, his eldest son Li Mengbo also changed his expression... Others didn't know, but Li Mengbo knew very well that his father had such a memorial, and indeed he had changed it many times.
After all, it was him, the eldest son, who helped polish and copy every time.
"What's wrong? Isn't it that if I don't speak up, I will be criticized by my old colleagues in Jiangnan, and then lose the support of public opinion?" Chen Gongfu sat still and threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces. " said
In the end, I am still just seeking fame and reputation, or do I want to please both sides? Li Taifa! Do you think that in this situation, you can still be allowed to be a bright person?!"
Li Guang's three sons were stunned and speechless. Li Guang looked at the fragments of the porcelain cup on the ground. Although his face was also pale, he still tried his best to argue: "Brother Guo Zuo, why is this? Since the officials compare Zhao and Zhang to Fang Du,
But can’t you allow me to be like Wei Zheng?”
"Did Wei Zheng's reputation come from saying good things to Li Jiancheng every day, or did he get it from persuading Emperor Taizong not to attack the Turks?" Chen Gongfu said jokingly. "I have made it clear to you today, Li Taifa, that your behavior seems to be a very arrogant one."
Frankly speaking, in my eyes, you are trying to please both sides and are despised!"
"Brother Guozuo!" Li Guang was furious for a moment. "We have been friends for decades, and it is always true that we met when we were young, right? Why do you say such evil words repeatedly today?"
"It's good that you know that our decades-long friendship is true." Chen Gongfu twirled his gray beard and sighed quietly. "Li Taifa, tomorrow's court, you'd better not take that memorial because of our decades-long friendship, otherwise
Naturally, I also have a memorial to impeach your personal ethics, and then there is also a letter of cessation of diplomatic relations, which I submitted to Lu Benzhong’s tabloid..."
At this point, Chen Gongfu stood up, picked up the newspaper on the table, and carried it behind his back. Then he turned to his stunned old friend and said the last words: "Taifa, if it weren't for our decades of friendship, why would I be here today?"
As for coming here in a hurry and saying such evil words, I hope you can think about it."
After saying this, the Minister of Civil Affairs held the newspaper with his hands behind his back and left the house.
"Daddy!"
After Chen Gongfu left, Li Guang was stunned on the spot. However, his eldest son reacted quickly and still sent it off in person. Then he hurriedly turned back and came to the back hall to face his own father. "Chen Shibo is gone."
Only then did Li Guang come back to his senses and looked at his son in confusion: "What does he mean? How can we break off our relationship?"
Li Mengbo lowered his head and thought for a while, then responded carefully: "My son roughly guessed that Chen Shibo's meaning has several layers... One is where Li Gongxiang of the southeast has been idle for many years, and has long since faded; the other is whether Chen Shibo was captured by Zhang Shuxiang
I was convinced that it was time for the whole country to secure the country internally and externally, and to insist on the Northern Expedition. I really believed that my father's remarks at this time were somewhat contrary to the overall situation...otherwise, why would he say the words to break off diplomatic relations?"
Li Guang responded in silence... Although he was silent, he already felt in his heart that his son was right.
As an old friend for decades, Chen Gongfu understood him, and he also understood the other party. Li Guang knew very well that Chen Gongfu was not a man who followed the situation and followed the situation.
He has insisted on criticizing Cheng Xue for decades, and he will not wait until he is in his fifties or sixties to see the light of his official career because of his opposition to Cai Jinghe.
But then again, just as Chen Gongfu believed that Li Guang had a good reputation, Li Guang had long noticed a big problem in Chen Gongfu's character - maybe it was because he wasted a long time in his early years.
, often willing to compromise on small issues.
This is exactly what happened. It should be that Chen Gongfu was persuaded by Zhang Jun and accepted the statement that the Northern Expedition was related to the foundation of the country. He recognized that the Northern Expedition was the so-called first overall situation at the moment. So for this overall situation, he was willing to accept such things as asking the two saints to write
A letter of self-reflection called for sending troops to the south to suppress the various outrageous behaviors of the opposition in order to facilitate the smooth implementation of the matter.
Relatively speaking, Li Guang was also somewhat persuaded by Zhang Jun and recognized that the Northern Expedition was the general trend, but his problem was that he was unwilling to accept those extraordinary actions.
The two people's personalities have been like this for a long time, and similar differences have always existed. However, what Li Guang did not expect was that this difference would actually lead to the severance of their decades-old friendship.
Are you really wrong?
Or is Chen Gongfu wrong?
Or maybe both of them are right, but the Zhao Guan family's attitude towards Zhang Jun's words has heralded that the situation has reached a new stage, that the Zhao Guan family must abandon the opposition for the Northern Expedition, or that the opposition has become insignificant?
Of course, it is possible that Chen Gongfu is deliberately scaring himself, right?
In short, Li Guang couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, the first day of March, was the day of the imperial meeting, so although he was not energetic, Li Guang still got up early and prepared to go to court. But at this time, the censor Zhongcheng was surprised to find that his letter had already been prepared.
But the memorial that also brought him huge trouble disappeared.
The memorial lying on the table in his study disappeared out of thin air.
Li Taifa was dumbfounded at first, then relieved. Finally, under the pressure of time, he hurriedly dressed as an official and walked out. Looking at his three sons waiting in front of the door, he finally realized... It turned out that Chen Gongfu came yesterday and was not trying to scare him at all.
Here you are, and you are here specifically to scare your own son?
An old guy who is almost sixty years old bullies three young men who have just grown up. Does he still have martial ethics?
However, this morning, Li Guang once again refreshed his understanding of his old friends. Some people really did not respect martial ethics - this Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was actually the first to go out and present the memorial after the court meeting began, suggesting a few people.
The censor who has been serving in the censorship station for a long time is transferred out of the state and county, and then a new person is promoted to the censorship station to admonish!
The first one is Li Jing.
What is interesting is that Li Jing did not object, but went with the flow, accepted the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, and went to Xingqing Mansion.
In addition, at the great court meeting that day, because the Minister of Punishment, Ma Shen, wrote to Prime Minister Zhang Jun about something inappropriate, Zhao Guanjia issued an edict in court, and discussed it with the ministers in the Secret Pavilion, and all the officials discussed it.
Among them, 27 of the secret cabinet ministers agreed with the Prime Minister Zhang Jun, and 6 thought it was inappropriate; among all the officials, 136 people agreed with the Prime Minister Zhang Jun, and 17 thought it was inappropriate.
Immediately, Zhao Guanjia showed the list of those who agreed to it to those who thought it was inappropriate, and formally issued an order: "The imperial court has reached a conclusion and will act in accordance with what the Prime Minister Zhang Jun said."
