Qian Weiyan was about to leave Beijing. As usual, before he officially left Beijing, Liu E called him into the prison and had a face-to-face talk.
After expelling the rest of the crowd, Liu E looked at him slightly apologetically and sighed.
"Xisheng, I have wronged you this time."
"It is the duty of a minister to be able to share the Queen Mother's worries."
Qian Weiyan is not greedy for merit, and words are the most useless. No matter how nice the words are, they are not as good as taking action.
"It would be great if all the princes in the dynasty were like you."
In recent times, regarding the tea ceremony, one letter after another has been sent to the foreign court. They say that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law speaks of the mother-in-law.
The more he watched, the more headache Liu E felt.
Especially after seeing the account book in Funing Hall, Liu E now felt that everyone had ulterior motives.
Among all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, who can she trust?
On the other side, Qian Weiyan smiled slightly when he heard this and remained silent.
At this time, it is obviously not suitable to answer the call.
How could all the princes in the dynasty be like him?
If everyone is like him, how can we show his importance?
"Letting you leave the capital this time is really a helpless move. Don't worry. When the time is right, I will definitely find an opportunity to call you back to the capital."
As we all know, it is no secret that Liu E was born in a humble family, but Qian Weiyan did not mind the humble Liu family and took the initiative to marry his sister to Liu Mei.
This is tantamount to elevating the Liu clan in disguise.
Therefore, Liu E was still very grateful to Qian Weiyan.
"Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. In fact, it is a good thing to be on a mission."
"Han Fei once said that prime ministers must start from the state headquarters, and powerful generals must be sent from the army. Since I entered the official position, I have been in the capital for a long time."
"This trip to Zhizhi is just the right place for me to enjoy the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of our Song Dynasty, and at the same time, I can accumulate experience as a people-friendly official."
On this point, Qian Weiyan did not lie. His lack of experience in local government is indeed a weak point in his resume.
After all, he was the eldest son of the Wuyue royal family. After becoming a vassal to Song Natu, he started at a very high level. He had been working in the central government for so many years, but he knew very little about local affairs.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Going to places to take a look can just make up for his shortcomings in this aspect.
Seeing that Qian Weiyan's expression didn't look like he was faking it, the guilt in Liu E's heart was somewhat relieved.
The gap from deputy privy envoy to local people-friendly official was indeed a bit big, and she had been worried that Qian Weiyan would not be able to think about it.
Now it seems that Qian Weiyan is very open-minded.
As expected of a descendant of the Wuyue royal family, his state of mind alone is far beyond that of his peers.
Thinking of this, Liu E couldn't help but think more highly of Qian Weiyan.
"When you leave Beijing this time, who will be your successor?"
Liu E has not yet made a decision as to who will take over the position of deputy privy envoy. She would rather recommend one of her own to take over.
Among her supporters, the one most qualified to take over as deputy privy envoy should be Zhang Qi.
But Zhang Qi is now far away in Shouzhou, Huainan, and he made a mistake and was demoted from the capital.
It would be unreasonable to recall Zhang Qi at this time.
Putting aside the candidate Zhang Qi, Liu E really has no qualified successor.
Most of the people standing in Liu E's camp were the late emperor's former ministers, and among these old ministers, except for a few deceased consuls, the rest were mostly military ministers.
With the qualifications of these people, they are not yet qualified to take over the position of Deputy Privy Envoy.
a long time.
Qian Weiyan opened his mouth and said: "I recommend Li Wei, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, to accept the decree, and be a bachelor of Li."
"Scholar Li?"
When Liu E heard this candidate, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, after thinking about it again, she felt that this was a reasonable thing.
Li Wei and Qian Weiyan met when they were editing "Cefu Yuangui". They had similar family backgrounds and similar positions, and they were both extremely talented people.
"Xikun Singing Collection" contains many things about Li Wei and Qian Weiyan. It can be said that both of them are the main force of Xikun style.
In addition, Li Wei was the younger brother of the late Prime Minister Li Hang and Wang Zeng's uncle.
At the same time, Li Wei was also the father-in-law of Wang Su, the son of the late prime minister Wang Dan.
If Li Wei was appointed as the deputy privy envoy, Wang Zeng would definitely not object.
As for Ding Wei, I guess there won't be any objections. He and Li Wei have a pretty good personal relationship.
To take a step back, even if Ding Wei was unwilling in his heart, with Li Wei's qualifications and the connections behind him, Ding Wei would not object openly.
Of course, the most important point is that Li Wei usually keeps a low profile, works diligently, does not fight or grab, and has never participated in party struggles.
In short, Livy had no clear political leanings.
Even though he naturally belongs to the Kou Zhun family, he did not participate too much in it.
I have to say that Qian Weiyan's recommendation of Li Wei really touched Liu E's heart.
It was precisely because Li Wei was so low-key that Liu E didn't think of him for a while.
Now that I think about it, Levi is an extremely suitable candidate in terms of position, qualifications, and connections.
"Qing Guo is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and the recommended candidate is very appropriate."
"Li Xueshi has a tolerant nature. He likes to show off his emotions without showing signs of color. He also likes to reward and warn those who are underachieving. He has won the true inheritance of Duke Li Wenjing (Li Hang)."
"When the late emperor was still alive, he praised Xueshi Li quite a lot."
"The queen is so complimentary."
Qian Weiyan smiled indifferently. In fact, he recommended Li Wei after careful consideration.
Although the position of deputy privy envoy is not the official envoy of the Privy Council, no matter what, this position is also one of the important ministers of the two governments.
He could fully imagine how much turmoil would arise over the position of Deputy Privy Councilor.
At this time, the situation in the court was already in a state of chaos, and the Queen Mother must have had a headache about this.
Recommending Li Wei as Privy Deputy was the last thing he did for the Queen Mother before leaving Beijing.
He was leaving anyway, and he didn't have to worry about other people's grudges.
To be fair, although his resignation was a settlement, it was a bit too easy.
As the prime minister of the imperial court, Ding Wei could have spoken for him.
But Ding said he didn't do anything, but just watched from the sidelines.
Qian Weiyan also guessed what Ding Wei was thinking. He just wanted to stay out of the matter and reap the benefits.
The position of deputy privy envoy is one of the benefits.
Therefore, recommending Li Wei is also Qian Weiyan's small revenge.
At sunset, Qian Weiyan walked out of the palace. The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he looked back at the majestic Zhengyang Gate.
In February, the late emperor went to Zhengyang Gate to offer amnesty to the world. Who would have thought that before the year was over, the late emperor would ascend to immortality.
Accidents always catch people off guard.
Just like Qian Weiyan himself, he never thought that one day he would be out of nowhere, and he was willing to do so without any complaints.
'I'll be back.'
After taking one last look at Miyagi, Qian Weiyan withdrew his gaze, and then walked calmly towards the carriage stop nearby.
