After listening to Lin's report, Liu E felt a little relieved.
She is very clear about the public opinion in Beijing during the recent period.
Thanks to someone, there is a lot of criticism!
Wang Zeng is truly the ‘wise prime minister’ of the imperial court!
There is no doubt that Wang Zeng was challenging the imperial power.
Originally, Liu E didn't like Wang Zeng very much, but now she hates Wang Zeng even more.
Should he be exempted from the official position?
Although Liu E didn't like Wang Zeng, one thing was undeniable. Wang Zeng had a very good reputation in Shilin.
Moreover, Wang Zeng himself had no flaws. He was an honest official and an upright man. The only bad thing about him was that he was occasionally pedantic.
Such as this time.
After thinking about it, Liu E thought it would be better to keep Wang Zeng.
Sometimes the court really needs some different voices. If the court is full of people like Ding Wei, the court will inevitably collapse.
If different opinions are mixed, and the strength of either party is too great, it is not a good thing for the monarch, regardless of loyalty or treachery.
"Madam, Qian Weiyan handed over a letter yesterday. Do you want to read it now?"
"Bring it here."
Liu E nodded slightly. She felt guilty about Qian Wei's performance in Beijing.
After careful calculation, Qian Wei knew that Heyang was almost half a year old when he performed, and this was the first time that he took the initiative to hand over a letter.
After a while, Mrs. Lin took Qian Weiyan's note alone and presented it to the Queen Mother.
【Emperor Zhenzong is about to build the Ancestral Temple, and some ministers have decided to share it with the meritorious ministers. The ministers will be the first ministers to honor their fathers/King Zhongyi of the Qin Dynasty/Chu.
He personally led the royal disciples to put an end to a hundred years of arrogance, upheld his nationality, and dedicated himself to a thousand-mile territory.
Loyalty to the emperor and outstanding achievements to the history of Dun, so Taizu and Taizong ordered Wu to bow down and bestowed him with a name.
Since the compilation of the previous saints, I have enriched myself with my legacy, and I have cited all the special merits to highlight this sect, which ranks first in the dynasty.
Fuwang obeys the imperial edict, and is worthy of enjoying the ancestral temple.】
Seeing the specific content of Zha Zi, Liu E couldn't help but smile.
Qian Weiyan is here to ask for reward.
The system of meritorious service has existed since ancient times, and can even be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty inherited the pre-system and naturally had a meritorious system, but the Taizong Dynasty was an exception.
Generally speaking, when the previous monarch dies, the successor should designate the meritorious ministers of the previous dynasty to enjoy the Ancestral Temple during his reign.
But in the end of Taizong's dynasty, Song Taizong did not implement meritorious service.
The system of meritorious service in the Song Dynasty actually began with Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. In the second year of Xianping (999), the second year after Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Zhenzong issued an edict to seal the coffin of Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu was posthumously granted the title of King of Han, and served in Taizu's temple.
In August of the same year, Cao Bin was posthumously granted the title of Prince of Jiyang County, and was appointed to serve in Taizu's temple.
Also in August, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, and Pan Mei, officials of the Taizong Dynasty, were also assigned to Taizong one after another.
However, compared to Zhao Pu and Cao Bin, the achievements of these three people are much smaller.
The reason is that few officials in the Taizong Dynasty could be in charge of Xiangyin for a long time.
After all, Taizong was famously suspicious.
There is a ghost in his heart, and everyone looks like a ghost. How can Zhao Guangyi dare to let ministers stay in high positions for a long time?
After a long while, Liu E put down the note in her hand.
Qian Weiyan really dares to think.
The dynasty lasted for three generations, and there were only five civil and military ministers serving the temple. Although Qian Chu had contributed to the donation of land.
But first of all, it was not the Zhenzong Dynasty's business to donate money and soil. Secondly, just donating soil was not enough to satisfy the temple.
Even with Liu E's support, the officials would not agree.
What is the highest pursuit of a literati?
Make a name for yourself in history!
Throughout the dynasties, there have been meritorious officials, sometimes one, sometimes two or three. There is no doubt that being able to serve in the temple is definitely the highest praise of the time.
How could those civil servants agree that King Qian Chu of Wuyue should serve the Zhenzong temple?
Isn’t this a job grab?
Nowadays, the late prime ministers Li Hang and Wang Dan are the ones who have the loudest calls to serve the Zhenzong temple.
Although they have passed away for many years, their disciples, disciples and former officials are still active in the court.
However, the officials seem to have other ideas, so the candidate worthy of the Zhenzong temple has not yet been decided.
The list proposed by the Academy of Sciences only included Li Hang and Wang Dan, both of whom were civil servants. The officials seemed to intend to add a military minister.
During the Zhenzong dynasty, which military official was qualified to serve in the Zhenzong temple?
This candidate was none other than Zhongshu Ling Li Jilong.
In the Battle of Chanyuan, Li Jilong should be the chief contributor among the military officials. In addition, Li Jilong had achievements in both the Taizu Dynasty and the Taizong Dynasty.
Following the expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, repeated defeats of the Khitans, the Western Expedition to Dangxiang, and the battle of Chanyuan, with these achievements, as long as Li Jilong can be nominated, it is certain that he will be worthy of the Zhenzong temple.
Finally, Li Jilong's family background is also one of his helpers.
His father Li Chuyun was a famous general in the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty, and his sister was Taizong's third queen.
In fact, Liu E didn't fully understand Li Jie's plan.
Li Jie not only wanted Li Jilong to serve in the Zhenzong temple, but he also planned to eliminate the quota of a civil servant.
Two civilized and one martial arts inevitably means emphasizing civility and neglecting martial arts.
One literary and one military, just right.
This is also one of the ways he releases signals to the outside world.
Pay equal attention to civil and military affairs!
…

…
Cao Mansion.
"Sir, there is a letter from Xiao Langjun!"
The chief steward of the mansion ran into the courtyard with an excited face and announced the good news loudly.
"Letter came!"
Hearing this, Cao Wei's heart cheered up and he immediately went out, even forgetting to put on his shoes.
"Quick, get the letter!"
"yes."
The chief steward handed the letter into Cao Wei's hands with a smile on his face.
After a long time, Cao Wei put down the letter in his hand with a happy face.
OK!
Just be safe!
This is a letter to report safety. Last year, Cao Qian was stuck in a small town due to heavy snowfall. Fortunately, it was a city.
If they didn't have a thick stone house, they might not be able to survive the heavy snow.
When the ice and snow melted, Cao Qian did nothing else but immediately wrote a letter to her family saying she was safe.
In addition, at the end of the letter, Cao Qian also mentioned that he had already contacted the special envoy of Zunsiluo.
When the spring comes and the flowers bloom, Xisiluo will look for an opportunity to meet him in person.
This letter came at just the right time. In a few days, he would be leaving for the northwest border, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.
Because the return date does not depend on him.
But it depends on the party item Li Deming.
As for personal safety, Cao Wei was not worried about it. How could the disciples of the generals be afraid of being shrouded in horse leather?
So what if you die in battle?
Moreover, at his current age, he cannot be a strong general who charges into battle. As a military commander in the border area, the chance of confronting Dang Xiang head-on is not great.

PS: There is only one update today.
In addition, I would like to recommend a TV series to everyone, "The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family", a Korean drama (little stars rarely watch it, and it is strongly regarded as an advantage because it is adapted from an H-country online novel).
The starting point rebirth stream has a male protagonist as standard, who takes advantage of the information gap to make money and then takes revenge.
