After three resignations and three petitions, Li Jie finally agreed to Liu Yun's request for a place of knowledge.
Although he was a little annoyed with Liu Jun, Liu Jun's character was still very good, at least he was not a corrupt official.
Li Jie had already thought about Liu Jun's appointment.
He planned to send Liu Jun to the Sichuan-Shaanxi area to serve as the transfer envoy for the four routes of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The transfer envoy was the superior of the transfer envoy and was generally not a permanent dispatch.
Although the Sichuan-Shaanxi region is not a border, it is far away from the capital and is a remote area. Moreover, there are many ethnic minorities in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, and affairs are very complicated.
Many officials don't want to go to such places.
After all, being far away from the capital means that there are fewer opportunities to show one's face in front of officials.
Because of this, in a certain sense, if a certain high-ranking official, such as Liu Jun, a censor Zhongcheng, is appointed as a transfer envoy to the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, it often means he is demoted.
And this happened to be in line with what Liu Jun wanted.
Of course, this is only a nominal demotion.
In Li Jie's plan, the Sichuan-Sichuan region will be of great use!
As we all know, the Sichuan-Sichuan region is very rich in mineral resources. According to later surveys and statistics, the Panxi region alone has 13.3% of China's iron ore, 93% of titanium ore, 69% of vanadium ore, and 83% of cobalt ore.
In addition, there are also abundant reserves of minerals such as mirabilite, iodine ore, asbestos, and mica.
Finally, salt mines are also very important resources.
With so many minerals, the importance of the Sichuan-Sichuan region is self-evident.
However, the Sichuan-Sichuan region is also a frequent place for uprisings.
In the early Song Dynasty, why did peasant uprisings frequently break out in Sichuan and Shu regions?
The reason is very simple. The oppression is too great and the people can no longer survive. What else can they do?
Of course, I chose to rise up.
As of now, although the Song Dynasty has been a country for more than seventy years, the exploitation of the Sichuan and Shu regions is not as harsh as it was at the beginning of the country.
However, the class contradictions in Sichuan and Sichuan cannot still be ignored.
In addition, another important point is that Liu E was also born in Shu, and her relative Liu family is now the dominant one in Shu.
In the past two years, although Liu E has gradually disappeared behind the scenes, the remoteness of the Shu region has delayed the spread of news.
To take a step back, even if the incident in Beijing spreads to the central Shu area, others will not dare to turn against the Liu family.
After all, Liu E is the empress dowager, and as long as she survives, the Liu family will dare to continue to dominate Shu.
Moreover, not only ordinary people did not dare to offend the Liu family, but also the officials in Shu did not dare to stroke the Liu family's tiger beard.
At this moment, a person with integrity and high reputation is needed to step forward.
Liu Jun is very suitable.
First of all, he is a leading figure among Xikun style poets. Who are the people he is friends with?
Yang Yi, Li Zong'e, Qian Weiyan, Shi Zhongli, Li Zunxu and others.
These people are either great writers who are famous all over the world, or they are relatives of the emperor, or they are queens of famous families. Even if Liu Jun is not in the center, he still has the capital to influence the situation of the court.
It is true that the Liu family is a relative of the Queen Mother, but with Liu Jun's wealth and status, if the Liu family really made a big mistake and was caught by Liu Jun, he would not be afraid of the Liu family at all.
He is fully qualified to confront Mr. Liu head-on.
And this is exactly what Li Jie needs.
Therefore, Li Jie followed the trend and agreed to Liu Jun's request to let him know the place.
…
…
…
Liu Jun's latest appointment was announced on the same day. Zhongshu received a reply from the palace and then received an edict appointing Liu Jun as the envoy of the four capitals of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Seeing this appointment, Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei had completely different reactions.
Wang Qinruo is undoubtedly the happy one.
Did you know Sichuan and Shaanxi?
Although he was the transfer envoy of the Four Routes, the Sichuan-Shaanxi region has always been remote. Even if his attitude was not clearly stated in the edict, the meaning of demotion was self-evident.
In Wang Qinruo's opinion, the official meaning is probably.
Didn’t you, Liu Yun, ask you to go to the place of your own accord?
good!
I will demote you far away!
As for why he is the transfer envoy for all four routes.
It's probably because Liu Yun's rank is relatively high, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to serve as a transit envoy.
Ding Wei, on the other hand, felt vaguely that something was not right.
Why Sichuan-Shaanxi region?
And it’s also a transfer envoy on all four routes?
Suddenly, Ding Wei remembered the Queen Mother's life experience.
Thinking of this, the fog in Ding Wei's heart gradually dissipated.
Perhaps the other three roads are just foils, and Yizhou Road is the key.
Are the officials going to take action against the Queen Mother's relatives?
At the thought of this, Ding Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Although the Queen Mother has gradually faded away from the government and the public, Ding Wei is very clear about how strong the Queen Mother's skills and scheming are.
Since the end of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhenzong's health has been getting worse and worse. At that time, there was a vague figure behind the affairs of the court.
In the third year of Tianxi (1019), Zhenzong's illness became more and more serious.
Almost all matters in the court, big and small, were decided by Queen Liu E.
In the eyes of literati and officials, it is not a good thing for a female protagonist to come to court.
Li Tang's disaster as Empress Wu is imminent, and no one knows whether Liu E will repeat the story of Wu Zhou.
In order to counter Liu E, or to remind Zhenzong, the civil service group did something. In June of the third year of Tianxi, Si Tianjian reported an unusual celestial phenomenon.
Xinmao, Taibai saw her in the daytime, and said: "The heroine is Chang".
Which of the princes in the court is not a man who has read poetry and books?
Everyone knows what Tai Bai Zhi Jian means.
"The Book of Han" says, Taibai Jingtian, the world is in revolution, the people are replacing the king, this is disorder, the people are in exile, everyone is fighting against the sun, the strong country is weak, the small country is strong, the heroine is prosperous.
Similarly, there are similar records during the Tang Dynasty.
[In the early days of Zhenguan, Taibai frequently met during the day, and Taishi Zhan said: "The heroine is prosperous." There was also a rumor: "There should be a female warrior king."
Taizong was evil.]
In fact, in the eyes of future generations, the twilight sight is just a very common astronomical phenomenon, even if it is rare, it is just that.
However, in the eyes of the ancients, this was not the case.
Seeing in the daytime is often associated with disasters, and mainstream public opinion agrees with this statement.
Finally, during the Tianxi year, there were more than one strange phenomena in the sky, in June of the third year of Tianxi, in August of the third year of Tianxi, in July of the fourth year of Tianxi, and in June of the fifth year of Tianxi.
There are four records.
In this public opinion environment, Liu E was able to turn her hands into clouds and rain, plan to eliminate the important minister Kou Zhun, and take charge of the overall situation of the government, which shows her strong ability.
People who have not experienced it personally will not understand.
As luck would have it, Ding Wei was a witness to that time, and he knew very well that Liu E was a strong man.
Although the imperial scheming of the official family is also very powerful, if the Liu family is really touched, will the Queen Mother fight back?
can you?
Maybe will.
Maybe not.
After all, the relationship between Liu E and the Liu family is not as close as it seems on the surface. The Liu family is just a relative of Liu Mei and has little blood relationship with the Queen Mother.
