After listening to Changsun Shunde's words, Du Yan shook his head secretly in his heart. What is rash and not rash? How could it be more rash than when you were fighting for the position before?
Changsun Shunde placed a lot of cronies in Menxia Province. Everyone recommended people, picked and procrastinated, and finally everyone accepted the favor of Changsun Shunde.
Du Yan was very upset at that time. He felt that Changsun Shunde was too powerful and the people he appointed were both good and bad, and could easily do bad things.
If he were to change places, he would definitely not do it like this. Can the position of a subordinate minister be the same as that of a foreign court? Living with the emperor day and night is not something that everyone can do.
When he was in Luoyang, the people around Wang Shichong were frightened all day long, and even the smallest thing could cause them to lose their heads.

Everyone sees it. Today's emperor is not comparable to Wang Shichong and others. Because of this, we should be more cautious.
Brother Zhangsun is so good that he has placed a personal position next to the emperor.
You see, it turned out to be a mess in the end, and he even got himself involved.
Well, okay, the two unlucky guys are both ambitious guys. They will do anything for official status. The older they get, the more unwilling they are to give up. They also have a sense of urgency. It is not necessary to say that they are greedy for profit.
Too much.
In fact, the two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, and neither one can think of leaving the other behind.
…………
"Oh? How do you say this?" Du Yan asked.
Changsun Shunde said: "Changsun Wuji submitted his resignation, and Gao Jian's memorial is also here. They were all suppressed by me, but they will be submitted in a few days."
The corner of Du Yan's mouth twitched. This kind of operation is naturally very dangerous. Judging from Changsun Shunde's current situation, if he is accused, he will probably be severely punished.
Although the things Du Yan did seemed to be inferior, there was nothing he could do about it. If he wanted to frame others, and he was a guy with a good reputation like Fang Qiao, there was a quick and effective method.
Not much, so I had to make this last resort in a hurry.
And it was kept clean from beginning to end, so he could talk to his eldest grandson Shunde safely here.
Because even if the investigation continues, it is likely that he, Du Yan, will not be implicated. Fang Qiao has offended too many people... After Gao Jian warned him, he did not carry out subsequent operations according to his previous plan, making it even more difficult to trace.
after all.
But Changsun Shunde still found his head. There was nothing to say. We all sat in the same boat and knew each other well...
Now he understands that Changsun Shunde obviously wants to take this opportunity to stir up trouble. What he thought before is absolutely correct. Changsun Shunde is a person who has no profit and cannot afford to start early. How can he sincerely help him?
"The minister suppressed the court official's memorial without authorization. Fan Wenjin and Du Chuke are not incompetent people..."
Sun Shunde, the eldest son, smiled conceitedly and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, nothing can go wrong with this little matter. How many days has Fan Wenjin been here? He has been following the emperor all day long, talking sweet words, and how much influence can he have in the provincial government affairs?"
?
There is also Xiandi's nephew, who has done a good job, but it is a pity that he is young and has weak morals and cannot convince the public. If it were not for Brother Du's sake, I would have made it difficult for him to move under the door. "
Du Yan was stunned, and then he muttered in his heart, you bastard, you are still bragging in front of me?
"Then I feel at ease. Let me tell you, at this critical moment, it is better for the Minister to be more careful. I believe that the Minister has heard the story of Fan Wenjin going to Liangzhou alone. Such a person returned to the court and established a palm position.
Minister, why don't you think about it, even if it's a reward, it won't be like this, right? It can be seen that the emperor has great trust in him. If it were me, I might as well transfer him so that I don't have to tangle with such a person anymore."
Changsun Shunde blinked his eyes a few times, feeling somewhat magical. Why did this guy persuade me as he kept talking?
"Brother Xian said it lightly. If there was a suitable position, brother Xian wouldn't have to compete with Fang Qiao for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right?"
Du Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true. Given our ages as the Minister and I, it wouldn't hurt if I were younger and asked for a foreign post."
Their shortcoming is their age. If not for this, they would not be in the predicament they are in today. As Du Yan said, the court is unwilling to reuse him, so what? Then you can only fight for it yourself.
People who have experienced the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty are least afraid of this. If there is no chance, they have to create opportunities by themselves. They have done this thing before.
…………
The first person to lose his temper was Changsun Shunde. At this time, he was already a little annoyed and did not want to continue talking to Du Zhili in a confusing manner.
"My dear brother and I have the wealth and honor we have today. It was extremely hard to obtain, so how can we give it up so easily? Today, Changsun Wuji, the son, wants to retreat in order to gain favor from the emperor, so it is better to follow the trend..."
Du Yan didn't quite understand what he heard. He opened his mouth to ask, but before the words left his mouth, he thought of Changsun Wuji, as the minister of Dali Temple, who had previously investigated the academic malpractice.
It was quickly resolved, everyone was killed, and some hands were left, waiting for others to fall into the trap, but it was his uncle Gao Jian who was brought out. All these things were under his control.
Changsun Wuji expressed his intention to resign from the post of Minister of Dali Temple, but he certainly didn't mean it sincerely. How could he give up the high position of the third rank so easily at such a young age?
Isn't that just a strategy of retreating in order to advance, trying to pick oneself out?
This is indeed a good opportunity. In addition, the eldest grandson's uncle and nephew are already enemies. It would be strange if eldest grandson Shunde did not make a difference in it.
For a moment, Du Yan thought clearly, and his heart couldn't help but move, the Minister of Dali Temple...
He had been a censor, so he weighed it in his mind. If he couldn't be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dali Temple seemed not bad.
With this idea, Du Yan cheered up, a smile appeared on his face, then restrained, and immediately echoed: "It seems that the eldest grandson wants to kill the family in a righteous way, right?
As long as the emperor refuses, he can enforce the law impartially, involve his uncle, and impose punishment? For such a ruthless and cold-blooded person, the minister should be more careful."
Changsun Shunde glanced at him sideways and thought to himself that you, Du Zhili, are worthy of saying this? When it comes to coolness, who can compare with you, Lao Du.
Moreover, Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji were not simple relatives. They were the benefactors who raised him. No matter how unbearable the child was, he would not bring his uncle into Dali Temple for interrogation.
If word spreads, will he be shameless? Who dares to make friends with such a person? He is now a third-grade official, how can he ruin his career for such a trivial matter?
In other words, Du Zhili judged others by himself, so he had such an idea, right?
