After listening to his subordinate's report, Lei Yungong's head went blank with a bang.
Knock on the palace door?
How irreverent this is!
no!
This must be stopped!
wrong!
Suddenly, Lei Yungong woke up.
It's not up to him to decide whether to stop or not.
This matter should be subject to official sage judgment.
Thinking of this, Lei Yungong immediately set off for Funing Hall.
About half an hour later, Lei Yungong walked out of Funing Hall with a sad look on his face.
The official handed over the matter to him again.
He is so miserable!
All difficult problems fell into his hands in the end.
How to stop Yan Guan’s ‘conspiracy’?
Regarding this matter, Lei Yungong had no clue. If Yan Guan was so easy to persuade, then he was not Yan Guan.
Besides, he couldn't use rough means to deal with the speaker.
Threats of violence are a dead end!
Why don't you go find Ding Xiang?
This seems to be the only solution at the moment.
At the same time, Li Jie didn't pay much attention to Yiyan Guan's actions. Even if Lei Yungong couldn't do it, he didn't care.
Knock on the palace door and let them knock.
Forcing the emperor to conceive is not feasible here. He is not the kind of person who is soft-hearted. The way he treats Zhenzong and Renzong in history will not work here!
In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Jun and others will not directly force the palace.
According to Liu Jun's plan, once the edict to recall Wang Qinruo was issued, that would be the time for him to take action.
But Li Jie had no intention of recalling Wang Qinruo.
As long as he is around, Ding Wei, as the independent prime minister, will not be able to affect the overall situation.
At this time, Zhang Mao suddenly came inside and announced.
"Guan family, the eldest lady will be here in a moment."
"Change!"
Generally speaking, Liu E would come to Funing Hall in the afternoon. She came early today, probably because she had something to do.
As expected.
Liu E really had something to do, so she brought a letter here specially.
The Zhazi was written by Wang Zeng. He suggested in the Zhazi that since the position of Zhongshu was vacant, he should choose an experienced official with high prestige.
For example, Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun, who has lived through three dynasties and three terms as prime minister and assistant, has traveled the world several times, and among those who are still alive today, he must be the oldest one.
After reading Wang Zeng's notes, Li Jie fell into deep thought.
Why did Liu E bring this note here alone?
Welcoming Kou Zhun was a plan he had never imagined.
Kou Zhun has a strong temper, which is not easy to control. After all, he is a veteran who has experienced three dynasties.
Therefore, Kou Zhun was not within Li Jie's selection range.
"Kou is already old, so it would be bad to let him work on state affairs again."
Hearing this, Liu E thought the officials were considering her emotions, so she explained.
"Actually, it might be a good thing to ask Kou Zhun to return to Zhongshu and take charge."
Nowadays, the power of officials from the south has expanded greatly. Prime Minister Ding Wei is from the south, and Zu Shiheng, who is in charge of the third division, is also from Ding Wei's lineage.
Political power and financial power are all in the hands of southern officials.
Before, Wang Zeng was still on the side to keep things in check, but now that Wang Zeng has resigned from the position, only Lu Yijian is left among the top officials of the Northern Department.
The Lu family of Donglai is certainly a high-ranking surname, but the qualifications of Lu Yijian are still young and not enough to compete with the Southern family.
Therefore, Liu E felt that recalling Kou Zhun was indeed a clever move.
She came here today not for any testing purpose, but sincerely.
"My dearest lady, it is not a good thing for Mr. Kou to return to Zhongshu."
After that, Li Jie taught Liu E a good lesson.
Judging from the current situation, what Li Jie needs is an executor, not a decision-maker.
In short, he doesn't need the kind of prime minister who thinks too much, the kind who works diligently and diligently is enough.
But Kou Zhun is obviously not this kind of person.
"Since Sixth Brother has already made up his mind, let's keep Zha Zi in the middle."
Liu E intended to let Kou Zhun return to Beijing mainly for the sake of the overall situation. Based on personal feelings alone, she certainly did not want Kou Zhun to come back.
Kou Zhun is so powerful!
During the battle of Chanyuan, Kou Zhun even dared to coerce the late emperor to go to the front line in person.
That battle was a success.
If it fails and something happens to the late emperor, Kou Zhun will definitely be a sinner through the ages!
(PS: There is a reason why Liu E doesn’t like Kou Zhun. Even if Kou Zhun hadn’t conspired to ‘establish a prince and abolish the queen’, the two of them would not be able to pee in the same pot.
Their character is doomed, they cannot cooperate with the government)
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
By this time, Wang Zeng had arrived in Qingzhou and began his semi-retirement days.
After graduating from Qingzhou, he lived a slow life.
Although he is the governor of Qingzhou, with Wang Zeng's current status, he no longer needs to do many things personally.
Most government affairs can be properly handled by Qingzhou Tongpan.
Moreover, Wang Zeng was not afraid that those below him would not do their best.
No one in Qingzhou dares to fool him?
Although he has been demoted now, in this dynasty, the demotion of Prime Minister and Fu is not a big deal at all. As long as he is not the kind of person who committed a serious crime, he will most likely have a chance to recover in the future.
In addition, don't forget Wang Zeng's age. He is not yet fifty years old this year and will still have a lot of time in the future.
Therefore, in his spare time, Wang Zeng often went to Songlin Academy to give lectures. In his opinion, cultivating more talents for the country is what he should do now.
Ying Tianfu.
Compared with Wang Zeng's leisurely life, Fan Zhongyan was very busy during this period.
Not only did he have to deal with the Confucian scholars who came to 'ask for advice', he also had to give lectures to the students in the academy.
Finally, he had to write a letter every ten days to submit to the ban.
This is also the thing on which he spends the most energy. How to implement the new academic system is not only related to him personally, but also to thousands of scholars.
The responsibility is heavy and he must be cautious.
Of course, as busy as he is, Fan Zhongyan himself enjoys it.
Living in a temple means worrying about the people and being loyal to the country. This is the duty of a minister and his personal ideal.
Capital.
Liu Jun had been waiting for an edict to recall Wang Qinruo, but what surprised him was that there was no edict from the palace.
This puzzled him very much.
Didn't they say that the officials and the Queen Mother wanted to recall Wang Qinruo?
Two months have passed, but there has been no movement at all.
The current situation in the court is very strange. The officials neither issued an edict to recall Wang Qinruo nor asked the ruling ministers to recommend candidates for prime minister.
Ding said he had been the independent prime minister for two months.
Although during this period, Ding said that he had no intention of gaining power, people's ambitions are slowly growing as a precaution.
It is not good governance to have one person serve as prime minister for a long time.
In order to solve the doubts in his heart, Liu Jun made a lot of efforts.
Several people who had close contacts with him, such as Shi Zhongli, Li Zunxu, Liu Ye and others, had all discussed it with him.
He even wrote a letter to Lin Bu who was far away in West Lake.
Even before writing the letter, he knew that there would probably be no reply to the letter, but he still wrote it.
The real purpose of writing this letter is just to express my feelings.
In fact, he envied Lin Bu's life, with plum trees as his wife and cranes as his sons, alone and leisurely between heaven and earth. It was really fascinating.
(The time when Liu Jun and Lin Bu got acquainted was probably in the fifth year of Tianxi, when Liu Jun knew Luzhou. Liu Jun’s collection of poems and essays contained poems written to Lin Bu, which took place in Luzhou.
Liu Jun knew Luzhou twice, once in the fifth year of Tianxi and once in the eighth year of Tiansheng. The reason why it was the fifth year of Tianxi was because in the eighth year of Tiansheng, Lin Bu, who had married Mei and Hezi, had passed away by then.
