The officials sent Liu Jun to Sichuan and Shaanxi areas to serve as the capital transfer envoy?
After learning the news, Liu E immediately thought of the official's intentions.
Liu Jun probably went there for the Liu family.
Even if the official did not explicitly remind Liu Jun, given the other party's character, Liu would definitely become a thorn in his side.
After all, Liu did go a bit too far in some areas.
In the past, Liu E had always turned a blind eye. Although she and the Liu family were not related, he and Liu Mei were husband and wife after all.
If Liu Mei hadn't brought her to Beijing, how would she be where she is today?
"Xu Zhanggong, has Wang's daughter arrived in Beijing?"
The Wang daughter that Liu E mentioned was the beauty from Sichuan that Liu presented to her. For this matter, Lin did not hesitate to speak out, and Lin was released from the palace.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Liu family paid a huge price in order to bet on Wang's daughter.
"Calculating the distance, we should arrive in the middle of next month."
As Liu E's confidant, Xu naturally kept things in the palace, especially the Queen Mother's affairs, in mind.
Most of Wang's daughters will be concubines of officials in the future. It is a matter of concern for the master, and Xu does not dare to take it lightly.
"Hmm."
After hearing this, Liu E thought for a while.
"Let's do this. When the Wang family arrives in Beijing, you go to the Liu Mansion and tell them to keep a low profile in the future."
"Leave a fine line in everything."
"yes."
Mrs. Xu nodded quickly and kept this matter in mind.
Of course, she was also a little surprised. Why did the Queen Mother just handle the matter so lightly?
She was also one of the people who knew about Liu Jun's appointment as the transfer envoy of the Four Routes of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
She also guessed a little bit of the official's intentions.
If it was as she guessed, why was the Queen Mother's reaction so dull?
Liu E glanced at Mrs. Xu without any trace, and after just one glance, she withdrew her gaze.
She is the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to answer questions for her subordinates.
Regarding Liu's affairs, she just needs to do her best.
Before, she had reminded Ms. Liu that if the other party still did not repent and something happened, she would at most only mention it in front of the officials.
If the official family wants to conduct official business, it is not impossible for her to accept it.
…
…
…
Liu Zhai.
"Ziyi, you must be more careful during your trip to Shu."
There are almost no fools among those who hold high positions. Who doesn’t have eight hundred evil thoughts?
Even Liu Ye, who is known for his toughness, is also a thoughtful person.
The Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road is rich in salt, iron, and tea, which are also important economic sources in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region.
Supervising salt and iron tea is also an important responsibility of the transshipment envoys in the Sichuan and Shaanxi regions.
And monitoring these things cannot avoid the Queen Mother's relatives - the Liu family.
In the last years of Tianxi, the Liu clan ran rampant in Shu and seized people's salt wells. This incident caused a great uproar. At that time, Kou Zhun insisted on demanding legal action and severely punishing the Liu clan.
But Zhenzong hoped to pardon the Liu clan's sins because of Liu E.
After all, in the whole world, could it be the royal land? Is there anything in the Song Dynasty that does not belong to the Zhao and Song royal families?
Liu E was the mother of the world, so what did her clansmen take over a few salt wells?
With Zhenzong on the sidelines, the Liu clan's seizure of the salt well was finally settled.
The Liu clan is still the most powerful descendant clan in the world. The oppressed people have no way to complain and can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
As for Kou Zhun, because of this incident, his relationship with Liu E further deteriorated.
At the same time, Liu E also strengthened her determination to get rid of Kou Zhun.
"careful?"
"Watch out for whom?"
Liu Jun chuckled and said disdainfully.
"I am an official of the imperial court, who do I need to be careful about?"
Of course Liu Jun knew what his friend meant, but as he said, he was the four-way transfer envoy ordered by the imperial court.
Only others are afraid of him, there is no reason for him to be afraid of others!
Although the Liu family is related to the Queen Mother, he is not afraid at all!
Whoever dares to hinder his ability to implement the transfer envoy is his "enemy" and the enemy of the Song Dynasty!
Behind him are officials, friends, and the people of the world!
What is there to fear?
On the other side, Liu Ye understood Liu Yun's expression immediately.
have to.
This is said in vain.
Since becoming an official in the first year of Xianping (988), Liu Jun's official experience was mostly in the capital, and most of his missions were civil servants from noble families.
Moreover, even during the period when he was deposed, Liu Jun served as the local magistrate.
Unlike Liu Yun, Liu Ye's official experience was much richer. After becoming a Jinshi, he first served as the magistrate of Longmen County (today's Longmen, Guangdong).
Then step by step, he was promoted to Yizhou Tongpan. In the first year of Tianxi (1017), Liu Ye was appointed as an admonisher by Zhenzong.
After that, he successively served as the director of the Household Department of the Third Division of Juyuan, the Right Secretary of Admonishment, the Attendant to the Censor to know miscellaneous affairs, the Quanliu Neiquan, the deputy envoy of the Third Department of Household Affairs, and the authority to dispatch Kaifeng Prefectural Affairs and other officials.
(PS: Quan is dispatched to Kaifeng Prefecture. The specific dispatch is the same as Quan Zhi to Kaifeng Prefecture. It is just because the seniority is not enough. The lower one is Quan Zhi so-and-so, and the second rank is Quan to send so-and-so.
That is to say, low job and high allocation.
This situation was very common in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the early days. This was also one of the benefits of the system of separation of officials, positions, and dispatches.
The appointment is relatively flexible and can be both upward and downward compatible)
Although Liu Ye and Liu Yun were Jinshi in the same year, in terms of official qualifications, his qualifications are slightly higher than Liu Yun's.
In addition, Liu Ye originally had the opportunity to become a relative of the Queen Mother.
When Liu Ye was in charge of the Kaifeng Prefecture, the Queen Mother had been related to him. After all, Liu Ye was not only famous, but his relative, the Luoyang Liu family, was also a famous local family in Luoyang.
Life experience is undoubtedly Liu E's weakest link.
She wanted to be related to a famous kid named Liu in order to make up for this shortcoming.
However, Liu Ye did not recognize Liu E as a relative.
After all, the Liu family in Luoyang is a wealthy family that has lasted for more than ten generations, and he himself does not want to be such a sycophant.
Later, because of this incident, Liu Ye was also "voluntarily" resigned from his position as the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, and instead went to Henan Prefecture (today's Luoyang, Henan Province) as the prefect.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this experience that Liu Ye understood how serious the Queen Mother was.
Very small!
Only as big as a fingernail.
Isn’t it just a matter of acknowledging the relationship?
The result was not good, I could only ask for help.
That time and that moment, exactly this moment.
His friend Liu Jun also invited himself this time, but unlike that time, Liu Ye went to his hometown to serve as the prefect.
But Liu Jun went to the Sichuan-Shaanxi region.
Not to mention the high mountains and long roads here, the situation in Shu is also extremely complicated.
Liu Ye once served as a general magistrate in Yizhou, and he knew very well how muddy the water in Sichuan was.
In the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), Wang Shu came to Yizhou as a privy scholar.
Who is Wang Shu?
Kou Zhun’s son-in-law!
Is the background hard enough?
As a result, some people spread rumors that his rule was harsh and tyrannical.
At that time, Liu Ye happened to be the general magistrate of Yizhou, and he saw everything Wang Shu did.
Wang Shu's harsh rule only targets the thugs in Shu!
It’s not aimed at the common people!
However, some people interfered with it and framed and slandered it.
