"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
In front of the Taiji Hall, the officials from the lower dynasty saluted Wang Yan one after another.
In fact, this kind of name is not very reasonable, because this is Luoyang, not the Liang Kingdom. They call it this, which means that they regard Wang Yan as the prime minister of the new dynasty after the founding of the country.
But Lao Wang is still very useful.
After greeting everyone, he left the palace and returned to his home.
Not long after, a large group of officials and scholars swarmed in and turned the royal residence into a small court.
Wang Yan invited everyone into the study. After sitting down one by one, he patted the armrest of the bed and sighed: "I am old, it is more comfortable to sit on the bed."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is walking in the wind, how can he say that?"
Wang Yan laughed heartily. He didn't look senile at all, which was surprising.
"Has the Liangzhou mission returned?" Wang Yan asked after the servants had served tea.
"Father, he left yesterday." Wang Xuan was the first to answer, sitting under Wang Yan.
He has been sitting in the position of Tian Cao Shangshu for a long time.
After Wang Yan became prime minister, due to various considerations, he petitioned to transfer him to the position of governor of Jizhou, and Shao Xun agreed.
When Liu Chou, the former governor of Jizhou, visited various counties last month, he fell seriously ill and died suddenly in Guanyi.
Although it is not very moral, Wang Yan still has to say that he died a good death.
Liu Chou was born in the Liu family of Pengcheng. His father, Liu Na, was one of the "Twenty-Four Friends of Jinguyuan" and was promoted to Sili Xiaowei.
Liu Chou promoted Xuzhou scholars to serve as officials. He served as Sima Yue's core staff, and later became one of the generals of the Kaocheng shogunate, and became the governor of Jizhou.
His younger brother Liu Song is now the prefect of Shangluo.
He had a younger brother, Liu (named Dalian), who was originally a member of Sima Yue's party. He became an official in Pengcheng's inner history. He later followed Sima Rui across the river and was highly regarded. This was a natural thing. Everyone was originally a member of the King of East China Sea, and
Crossing the river together and getting close is normal.
Liu Zai Jianye was well-known and specialized in correcting and impeaching others.
First, he defeated the guard general Dai Yuan, and then impeached Wang Jizhi, Yan Han, Zhou and others on the grounds of weddings and banquets during the mourning period. Of course, one by one,
Some people lost their jobs and others were fined one month's salary.
After Sima Rui's concubine, Song Ting, who joined the army, forcibly married his beloved concubine after the death of his master, stole more than 600 pieces of official cloth, and was dismissed from office.
Fenwu general Ruan Kang wanted to take Song Ting as his long history, so he was impeached.
Liu bluntly said that Song Ting's behavior of seizing the master's beloved concubine "violated the three cardinal principles and was against human ethics." Ruan Kang knew it, but did not think it was a mistake. They should be punished together one by one. If Liu surrendered, Shao and the thieves would not
Dare you use this person——"
When Liu Chou died, the Pei family lost a great general. How happy!
Wang Yan happily thumbed his beard and said: "Meizi, in the past two days, you and Liu Dunzheng (Liu Bi, the prefect of Chenliu) will hand over the Tiancao affairs and take office as soon as possible."
"Yes." Wang Xuan responded.
He actually doesn't want to go to Hebei.
You're not young anymore, why bother?
My father did too. It’s you who is blowing the tiger’s head like that.
But then again, although Hutou likes martial arts, he is not bad at literature and music theory. Huifeng quite likes him and often teaches him how to behave and manage government affairs. I heard that he is pretty good.
But what should I say? My father can’t see through it.
With the background of the Hutou mother clan, would Liang Wang really give him a chance? It's hard to say.
"Yingzhi, don't be anxious." Wang Yan looked at another person and said, "Your father has worked hard for many years. The king saw it and promised Chenliu the post of prefect. This is considered to be a step forward. He is a step forward, you
There is always a chance to become an official, don't worry."
"I listen to the Prime Minister." Ka Tao said with a low eyebrow.
His father, Bian Dun, used to be Sima Yue's chief clerk, but later he went to work as a Sima for Jingzhou Mountain Slips, and then traveled north.
His official career was ruined during the trip to Nandu, and he had to go through qualifications all over again after returning.
Fortunately, he was lucky. When Shao Xun took over the Kaocheng shogunate, he served as his military counselor and wine drinker. Later, he served as military counselor and wine minister to Wang Yan. Now he is finally sent out to serve as a prefect. Chen Liu is still such a key player.
place.
Bian Tao was not sensible before, but after his father fell ill, he suddenly panicked and no longer dared to speak ill of Prince Liang behind his back, and he suddenly became eager to make progress.
Now he has taken refuge in Wang Yan.
The Bian family in Jiyin has a very high family status and is related by marriage to the Pei family. There is also someone from this family serving as an official in Jianye. It is hard to say whether Wang Yan will use him in the end.
"The matter of abdication is one by one." Wang Yan's eyes fell on Liu Qun, the Taichang Cheng of the Luoyang court, and said: "Don't delay. On June 15th, you will bring it up."
"As ordered." Liu Qun responded.
This is a good thing, as long as you put aside your shame.
At the Wangri court meeting, he proposed the topic, and the ministers pretended to discuss it, and then issued the second abdication edict in the name of the emperor.
Each time it is proposed, there are particular considerations, and the competition is fierce because there are more and more shameless people.
As a descendant of the Liu family in Donglai, my uncle (Liu) is very old. Seeing that he is old and confused and has only a few more years to live, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity.
Qingxu noble clan, it is natural to take refuge with Wang Taiwei, and there are many benefits.
No, isn't the opportunity coming now?
"What a pity! I'm going to Bianliang, so I won't be able to see such a grand occasion." Wang Yan sighed.
Luoyang is not the land of Liang. As the prime minister, Wang Yan naturally went to Liang to govern.
After defeating the Xiongnu, Pingyang has completed its historical mission, and the Liang Kingdom should return to its old capital Bianliang.
However, there will only be small-scale construction in Bianliang City this year, not large-scale construction.
Precious money and food are still used to resettle the soldiers.
The historical problem of the Luoyang Central Army has reached the final stage of resolution. The remaining people were selected and organized into a Longshu Mansion. Then 4,800 people were selected from Yanzhou and Yuzhou soldiers and organized into four Longshu Mansions.
They are respectively the Zhongren Longxiang Mansion in Xizhongren City, Wangdu County, Zhongshan County, and the Henghai Longxiang Mansion in the northeast of Zhangwu County, Zhangwu County, both of which are under the jurisdiction of Youfeilongwei.
In addition, Yanjin Longxiang Mansion was built in Ji County; Gudu Longxiang Mansion was built in Dunqiu; Suoyang Longxiang Mansion was built in Yangping County. These three mansions together with the five Longxiang Mansion in Jibei and Puyang constitute Zuoyu Linwei.
This year, the money and food in Guandong, Henan and Hebei will be mainly spent on this place. In addition, part of the subsidies will be provided to the newly resettled soldiers in the past two years to help them survive the most difficult first two years.
Wang Yan didn't like this kind of thing very much, but he had no choice but to do it, and it had to be done as a top priority. Coordinating rural land and asking for resettlement money and food all fell on him.
This task is very arduous and most people are not very good at it, so Shao Xun has a tacit understanding with him.
Tolerance serves the country, you give me benefits, I give you benefits, and we get things done together.

After the meeting, Wang Yan, Wang Xuan and his son continued to discuss matters.
"Hu Tou is thirteen years old. Has King Liang found a bride for him?" Wang Yan asked.
"Master, is this too urgent?" Wang Xuan was stunned and said: "Jingfeng, Huifeng didn't mention this matter."
"It's getting late." Wang Yan glared at his son and said, "Look for it first, and then next year you can slowly reveal it to the king."
Finding a wife for their son is a matter for parents, but it is not beyond their control.
Moreover, affairs of the Tian family are never that simple, nor are they entirely decided by the emperor's personal likes and dislikes, so there is room for manipulation.
Seeing that his son was silent, Wang Yan asked, "Are Li Chong's three daughters married?"
Wang Xuan thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it. But he seems to be three years older than Hutou. Is that appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Wang Yan said: "Guochao will get married at the age of seventeen, and his daughter is sixteen this year. Li Chong must also be looking for a son-in-law."
Wang Xuan listened to his father about other things, but he didn't dare to do this. He only said: "Master, don't worry about it. The king seems to be in no hurry to let his children get married at the age of seventeen. Wang's second son is already eighteen this year. I heard
We just started looking for her. By the time Tiger Head is eighteen, Li Chong’s daughter is already twenty-one. It’s not like she would have gotten married early when the world was in turmoil.”
When the chaos broke out in Yongjia, marriages among scholars were indeed chaotic for a while, resulting in the appearance of many "older" unmarried men and women over the age of twenty.
But it's different now. The world is at peace. People usually get married when they are in their teens, and some get married as early as twelve years old (virtual age).
As far as the later scholars were concerned, the seventeen-year-old rule of the Jin Dynasty did not work very well.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
In an era when status endogamy was very popular, there were also scholars in their twenties or even thirties who were unmarried, because it was not always possible to find a match with a good family background, but they were a minority after all.
"Alas." Wang Yan sighed.
Indeed, this was too forced and could easily make Shao Quanzhong unhappy.
On the surface, that man is vulgar and lustful, but in fact he has a sharp mind, has a purpose in everything he does, and never wastes his energy on useless efforts.
"That's all, this matter will be discussed later." Wang Yan said: "On the Jiangdong side, we need to think more about it. Do you have any strategies?"
"Uncle Mao Hong is absolutely impossible." Wang Xuan said, "Jing Chan couldn't even get in."
"Jing Chan" is a nickname, his given name is Wang Hui, and his courtesy name is Youren. He is the second son (eldest son Zaotian) of Wang Cheng (whose courtesy name is Pingzi).
Speaking of Wang Cheng, he is really Wang Yan’s favorite brother.
He once shamelessly commented on Wang Cheng, Wang Dun and Yu, saying "A Ping is the first", "Zisong (Yu) is the second", "Zhu Zhong is the first":
But to be honest, Wang Cheng is an absurd and unruly person, and calling him trash is an insult.
Fortunately, this time and space was not killed by Wang Dun and stayed in the north. Shao Xun refused to use him no matter what.
He stayed in Luoyang and got into trouble many times, so he was sent back to his hometown in Langya by Wang Yan.
Wang Hui was more serious than Wang Cheng, but he was just mediocre in talent and appearance. This made Wang Yan very happy and said that he was "Matsushita Qingfeng", so he got an official position in the Luoyang court, but he did not often work there.
This time he was sent to Jianye to persuade Director Wang, but he ended up being shut down.
Just like Zu Miao said during his illness that a person should have a beginning and an end. Not everyone is willing to change his family, but Director Wang is not willing. He has his own code of conduct.
"Mohong is Taiyi—" Wang Yan stopped mid-sentence.
If you have a soft body, why don't you allow others to have a hard body? No matter how shameless Wang Yan is, he is too embarrassed to speak ill of Director Wang in this regard.
Just a little melancholy.
He had failed the Jin Dynasty, and perhaps had also failed the world, but he had not failed Wang Dao, Wang Dun, and Wang Cheng.
As a result, Pingzi couldn't help him, Maohong declined him politely, and Chu Zhong broke up with him - but, alas, Chu Zhong had his difficulties.
"Is Jing Chan still in Jianye?" Wang Yan asked again.
"Still." Wang Xuan replied.
"Let him come back." Wang Yan said, "Mao Hong has already developed a quarrel. If Jing Chan stays, he may cause trouble. When he comes back, he will go to Jizhou with you."
"Why are you going to Jizhou?" Wang Xuan was not very happy to take this disciple with him.
"Dutian." Wang Yan said: "Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang and other counties were hit by floods a few years ago. The King of Liang wanted to register his household registration. In addition, he made friends with Mao Bang of Gaoyang, and he may want to enter the capital."
