【Zhenzong Civilization Chapter Sheng Yuanxiao Emperor, Shaolong Jingye, tamed to peace, the merits of Rusheng are more sincere than ancient times, loyal and virtuous assistants, also praised Dayou...
The Taiwei was given to the Grand Master, and Wang Dan, the minister, was appointed as the governor of the Taishu. He served as a general for twenty years. He praised the theory of killing troops, established unparalleled rituals, and used discipline.
.
Zhongwu Army Jiedu Envoy, Tong Zhongshu's Menxia Pingzhangshi, presented Zhongshu Ling Li Jilong, the sect of the old honors, and conquered the former martyr, Shen Yi was courageous, suave and good at planning, he was lucky to be in Chanyuan, he was the commander-in-chief of the army, and he worked hard.
Defeat the enemy and achieve great success.
It is appropriate to set up the courtyard of the big house, to enjoy the enjoyment of the great emperor, to hope that the emperor will be prosperous, to agree to the old seal, and to enjoy the palace of the Zhenzong Emperor.]
When Wang Zeng saw this edict, he instantly understood why his late father-in-law was not nominated.
If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.
His behavior a few days ago must have been known to the palace people, so that his father-in-law was implicated and lost his position as concubine.
Thinking of this, Wang Zeng suddenly felt ashamed.
During the period when my father-in-law was in charge of Xiangyin, the country was in great prosperity. He burned the imperial edict of concubines and blocked the private interests of the people. He asked the people of Lingzhou to move to Lingzhou in order to seize Xixia. He was worthy of the title of prime minister!
Moreover, his father-in-law was still a former official of Zhenzong.
If there are no accidents, he will definitely be worthy of the honor due to his father-in-law's merits.
In the end, because of him, he lost the opportunity to leave his name in history.
a long time.
Wang Zeng sighed, and then he made a decision, an extremely important decision.
The next day.
The edict that Wang Zeng requested to remove his prime minister was submitted to the ban.
Although the reason for his request was that he was ill, it was clearly an excuse. He had been fine for the past two days, so how could he suddenly become seriously ill?
Therefore, this request to resign as prime minister is just a 'protest' against the imperial edict issued by the temple.
Of course, Wang Zeng did have this intention, but this was not the most important thing. He asked to resign, more because he felt discouraged.
The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Although Li Hang was not Wang Zeng's father, as Li Hang's son-in-law, he personally ruined his father-in-law's opportunity to serve in the temple.
Wang Zeng could not forgive himself for this.
Asking to be dismissed as prime minister is both a protest and a punishment for himself.
Bao Ci Hall.
After Liu E saw Wang Zeng's memorial, she returned it intact without saying a word.
This time, she did not discuss it with Li Jie.
After the New Year, this was also the first time Liu E bypassed Li Jie and handled government affairs alone.
Even though she had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Zeng, she didn't go to the extent of deposing Wang Zeng.
No matter what, Wang Zeng is indeed a direct minister, and the court needs such a person.
If Wang Zeng falls, who can check and balance Ding Wei?
Just rely on Lu Yijian?
I'm afraid that's not possible. After all, Lu Yijian's qualifications are still insufficient.
Now, it has been less than a year since Lu Yijian was transferred to politics. Even though he is capable, he cannot be promoted again.
Lu Yijian cannot be promoted for the time being, and another political candidate named Zhongzheng cannot be promoted either.
Ren Zhong is a member of Ding Wei's family. What's the difference between promoting him and letting Ding Wei serve as the independent prime minister?
No!
Of course, there are examples of independent prime ministers in the dynasty. For example, from the third year of Zhidao (997) to the first year of Xianping (998), only Lu Duan was in charge of the prime minister.
For another example, in the third year of Xianping (1000), Zhang Qixian resigned as prime minister. At that time, Li Hang became the only remaining prime minister in Zhongshu.
But these two examples have one thing in common: their time as prime minister alone was very short.
Lu Duan's time was slightly longer, about more than a year, while Li Hang's time as prime minister alone was very short, only four months.
In addition, Lu Duan and Li Hang also asked to be dismissed.
The civil servants knew very well what kind of virtue the monarchs of Zhao and Song Dynasties had. If they were in charge of Xiangyin alone, they would indeed have great power.
It is true that one person is inferior to ten thousand people!
But correspondingly, the risks are also high. Never doubt the emperor's suspicion.
The next day.
Seeing that the memorial was returned, Wang Zeng once again petitioned to dismiss the prime minister.
After repeating this three times, Liu E finally agreed to Wang Zeng's dismissal as prime minister and changed his position to an educated youth prefecture.
Not only that, Liu E also gave Wang Zeng the title of "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Personnel".
Qingzhou was Wang Zeng's hometown, so for him to go back with the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was considered as an honorable return to his hometown.
It is of course a big event for the prime minister to ask for his resignation and to leave the place.
There was endless discussion about this matter both inside and outside the government.
If we say who is the most miserable, it is probably impossible to compare, but if we say who is the happiest, it must be Lei Yungong.
A few days ago, he was still worried about how to 'send away' Wang Zeng.
As a result, Wang Zeng himself fell down before he could do anything!
Although he had no merit in the matter of Wang Zeng's dismissal as prime minister, he would certainly not have to take the 'pass' again in the future.
So, this wave is a gift from heaven!
How can you not be happy?
Funing Hall.
Li Jie was indeed a little surprised when Wang Zeng asked himself to resign as prime minister.
He was originally thinking of finding an excuse, but now it's good that he doesn't have to find any excuses anymore. Wang Zeng asked himself to resign.
In fact, the main reason why Li Jie kicked Li Hang out of the list of deserving heroes was not to beat him, but it was incidental and an 'excuse' for Liu E.
Li Hang abandoned the conservative faction, which is the real reason.
Li Jie had no favorable impression at all of this type of abandonment and surrender faction.
As Li Hang's son-in-law and Wang Dan's successor, Wang Zeng's political style also tended to be conservative. Therefore, based on this alone, it would be difficult for Wang Zeng to be reused by Li Jie.
Similarly, Lu Yijian was also one of the conservatives.
However, this conservatism requires a qualifier.
flexible!
Lu Yijian is a flexible conservative. He is well aware of his superiors' intentions and is very clear about the choices made by his superiors. He will choose whatever the superiors like.
In a sense, Lu Yijian and Ding Wei are the same type of people, masters of power manipulation and obsessed with power.
Of course, Lu Yi was more bottom-lined and more principled than Ding Wei.
This point is actually related to their origins. When Lu Yijian became an official, the Lu family had already become a famous family in the world.
As for Ding Wei, he was from a slightly different background and belonged to the small landlord class, so he couldn't be compared with Lu Yijian at all.
Therefore, in order to climb up, Ding Wei's bottom line will naturally be much lower. Only by unscrupulous means, he, who comes from a poor family, can reach where he is today.

Dingwangfu.
"Ha ha!"
In the Nuan Pavilion in the backyard, upon hearing the news about Wang Zeng's departure, the Eighth Prince Zhao Yuanyan first clapped his hands and laughed, then drank some wine and hummed a tune.
What a good thing!
Well done to Wang Zeng!
Zhao Yuanyan was happy not because he had any conflicts with Wang Zeng, but because he felt that 'forcing' a prime minister away was indeed something worth celebrating.
The prime minister of the current dynasty was forced to ask for his resignation!
What does this mean?
The situation is dark!
This time, public opinion may be even more violent.
