"The generals have not yet matched their sharpness, and the minister's admiration has not yet exhausted their foolishness, but the matter has been decided." [Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang]
The edict on the restructuring of Hedong was quickly issued by the Chancellery. For a time, Hedong County and the governor of Wangyi, who had a special increase of 2,000 shi, became the focus of attention both inside and outside the court. Not only did they pay attention to Jia Xu's leadership, but also others
With the rise of Wang Yi, a new star in the political arena, who experienced a rebellion but still stood firm under his rule, attention was paid to what kind of impact the series of Hedong New Deals presided over by Wang Yi would have on the world.
In addition, even though the emperor's emphasis on Hedong and his policies attracted attention, it did not overshadow the brilliance of Pingzhun Ling Jia Xu.
On the day when the edict on the restructuring of Hedong was issued, Situ Ma Rixi, Sikong Shi Sun Rui, Taiwei Dong Cheng, the three officials who recorded the affairs of the Shangshu, as well as Shangshu Ling Yang Zan, Shangshu Pushe Wu Shuo and other officials jointly recommended it.
It was said that Jia Xu had previously mentioned Li Jue's contribution to the surrender of the rebels, and later he had made decisions to quell the rebellion in Hedong. Now he is talking about the achievements of the New Deal in Hedong. He has a track record in politics and records his merits and contributions. It is not suitable to stay in the lower position for a long time.
, please worship me as the Minister. Firstly, I will favor the meritorious officials, and secondly, I will make my name worthy of my name, so that there will no longer be an illegal situation of participating in state affairs with the six hundred stone level order.
There are precedents for ministers to jointly recommend someone as an official, but often these people are famous scholars with great virtues who live in seclusion in the world, or talented and wise men who have been left in the wilderness. And Jia Xu is a person with no virtue and no name, why?
Can I get the sponsorship from all the officials in the imperial court?
Just when everyone was speculating, immediately after, Situ Ma Rixi and Sikong Shi Sun Rui resigned from their positions on the grounds that their talents were unworthy of their duties.
This was undoubtedly another bombshell. Everyone unanimously linked the resignation of the two leaders of the Kansai scholars with the promotion of Jia Xujian to the chancellery. The limelight immediately overshadowed the Hedong new system, which had many different opinions.
The emperor did not seem to have expected that things would develop like this at first. Almost as soon as he received the notice of dismissal, he issued a sincere edict to retain him. However, Ma Rixi and Shisun Rui seemed to be resolute, saying that their talents and virtues were insufficient.
To assist the emperor and pray for his return home after resigning.
It seemed that Jia Xu, a latecomer, was going to rise on the shoulders of these two giants of Kansai scholars. However, after the officials knew the whole story, they began to feel indignant for Ma Rixi and Shisun Rui, who were serving the country.
He believed that it would be too disrespectful for the emperor to hastily decide on state affairs after discussing with the ministers for a few words. So the government and the public, led by the Kansai scholars, began to stir up a storm to ask the emperor to retain the two princes, and even impeached Jia Xu.
Chapters and chapters also followed one after another.
During this period, neither Ma Rixi nor Shisun Rui joined the palace council. Taiwei Dong Cheng finally briefly achieved his goal of monopolizing power, but he was not satisfied with anything. Instead, when he saw Shisun Rui and Ma Ri
The wisdom and decisiveness displayed by the emperor and others made the emperor look at a loss, and he felt terrified in his heart.
Onlookers may still be frightened, but Jia Xu, who is standing at the cusp of the storm, is calm and composed, as if nothing has happened, he goes to the Dasi Nong Yamen Office on time every day. His calm look is somewhat different from his young direct superior, Da Si.
Sinong Liu He's surprise.
Although Liu He was loyal to the emperor, he did not follow every move of the emperor. He also had his own political orientation. When the emperor discussed important matters such as system reform, he did not ask for the opinions of Lao Chengmouguo's ministers. Instead, he asked
After the two got close, they made a hasty decision. After learning about this incident, even though he had never participated in such political disputes, he actually disagreed with the emperor's approach in his heart.
"Jia Gong." Liu He frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "I heard that the minister was impeached. I don't want to say whether it is true or not. I should defend myself. If there is no fault, let it go. If there is, then I should punish myself.
The imperial officer begged for mercy in order to ask for leniency. But I think Mr. Jia is indifferent. This seems to be inconsistent with etiquette, and it is not easy for the country to protect Mr. Jia."
Compared with his father Liu Yu, Liu He's benevolence can truly be regarded as the same as his appearance. Even though Jia Xu was his subordinate, Liu He still addressed him as a junior.
Before Jia Xulin went out, he suddenly heard what Liu He said. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head. How could he not know that Liu He was reminding him to defend himself earlier, so as not to fall into passivity and end up being labeled as disrespectful to the king's law?
. He took back the leg that had stepped out of the threshold, bowed to the big farmer in front of him, and said: "How virtuous am I? I am concerned about the hard work of the big farmer. This matter is easy to say. If I really go to the big farmer
If you defend yourself, you will cause trouble to His Majesty."
It is true that if Jia Xu did not defend himself, when Shisun Rui and Ma Rixi wrote the third list of words, they would really express their stance in the list, and the emperor would take this opportunity to take a step back from them and allow Jia Xu to enter the ministerial committee.
Tai, Shi Sunrui and others no longer insisted on resigning in exchange for the emperor no longer being alienated and bypassing ministers.
But this is not the result that Jia Xu really wants, because this result is the sacrifice and concession that the emperor has to make in order to protect him. With the emperor's cold temperament, it is inevitable that he will take it to heart and become a hidden danger for Jia Xu.
As for what to do, Jia Xu had already planned it, but it was not convenient to tell Liu He.
He smiled and nodded to Liu He, who was still a little confused, then said goodbye and left.
"Jia Gong, Jia Gong." Liu He wanted to say more, but Jia Xu ignored his so-called direct superior and left without looking back.
"Liu Jun's kindness in front of the country is no worse than that of Jia Wenhe. If he had said a few nice words to Liu Jun, I wonder if Liu Jun would help him escape. Unfortunately, he is too self-respecting and talented.
"The Lingtai ordered Liu Wan to come out of his hiding place and stand side by side with Liu He by the door, somewhat dissatisfied with Jia Xu's indifferent attitude.
Liu He sighed helplessly: "Hey, although it was my father's fate, I sincerely made friends with him, but Mr. Jia didn't want to have anything to do with me. Even my subordinates are extremely distant except for official business."
Seemingly knowing Liu He Chicheng's heart, Liu Wan was not surprised. He said to himself: "This person is too cautious, even a little too cautious. No matter good or bad, he will do anything he doesn't need."
I discard him like a broomstick. I am quite successful in my ability to identify people, but I cannot see clearly what kind of person he is. Anyway, this person is destined to cause chaos and strife in the world."
"You also said that I have been wandering around in this life and have no good fortune, but what about now? As a great farmer who won two thousand dan, am I not considered a good fortune? It can be seen that you have not mastered the art of judging people, but how can you brag about it?
." Liu He remembered what the emperor said when he met Liu Wan at the palace gate at the beginning of this year after he convened a family banquet. He couldn't help but laughed and cursed, turned around and left: "You'd better go back and look at the stars. The calendar that the country wants you to compile has not yet been compiled.
You are here, but you have time to come to my place for a chat?"
"Hey! The art of fortune telling depends on heaven for three points and people for seven points. You can only say that the lucky person changed your fortune, but you can't say that my judgment was wrong!" Liu Wan and Liu He were very familiar with each other, and at this time there was some confusion.
He chased after him and argued forcefully.
Jia Xu walked out of the gate of Dasinong Yamen. Outside the door, there was a servant Cangtou waiting in his car. As soon as he came to the door, Cangtou rushed over in small steps and whispered: "Little Langjun is here today."
Chang'an is safe."
"Bo Yong?" Jia Xu whispered the eldest son's cousin's name and said, "I didn't write a letter back, so what else is he here for?"
"It's said that the matter is urgent and we have to come to Beijing to talk to the lord in person." Cang Tou hesitated, turned his head to one side, and stared at a person beside the road.
The man was lean, with a dark face, and a pair of dark eyes that kept moving, as if he was thinking of some evil idea. If it weren't for the fact that the man was wearing a crown that can only be worn by a military attache or a valet, and he was wearing a hakama.
, he was from the imperial court. Just because of his sneaky appearance, the chief of the pavilion of Da Sinong Mansion had already driven him away.
"Who is your Excellency?" Jia Xu squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had seen this person somewhere.
"Jia Gong, noble man, has forgotten something." The man hurriedly came over and said with a familiar smile: "I have Du Cun, the captain of the Fufengdian Agricultural School on your right, who was in the Xiliang army with Jia Gong that day."
Jia Xu couldn't help but feel funny when he remembered this character. It seemed that everything happened to happen today.
