1089 Scorched inside and out
The curtain of Xianhe's thirteenth year was suddenly opened by a death message.
In the first month of the new year, the people of the capital are still lamenting that this year's New Year, including the Lantern Festival, is much worse than last year in terms of atmosphere, and the city is so depressed, but soon a news quietly spread in the market: Taifu Wang Dao, who is Zhongxing Yuanfu, died of illness in Langya Qiao County a few days ago!
This news soon spread in Jiankang City, and soon the funeral procession of the Langya Wang clan also carried flags into the capital, and reported the news to Taiyuan and many world communication portals in the capital, confirming this fact.
Wang Dao is dead?
When many people hear this news, the first feeling in their hearts is surprise, and then a kind of sorrow that is as thin as a thread spreads in their hearts. Even the people of Danyang, who have the worst relationship with the overseas Chinese in Langya, rarely feel gloating after hearing the news of Director Wang's death.
Director Wang, including the entire Langya Wang family, has gradually faded out of the mainstream of the current situation since a few years ago, but anyone in this life and Jiangdong has to admit that this family, especially Director Wang, has a huge and profound impact on the world.
Since the Chinese Dynasty, there is no shortage of famous ministers, there is no lack of Wangzong, and Wang Dao can never be called flawless in this, and even in the world, whether in terms of private morality or in the talent shown, sometimes there are people who can beat Wang Dao. But no one can deny that Director Wang's great contribution to the situation of Nandu Zhongxing is incomparable to anyone else!
Therefore, when the Yuanzhongtai, including the Shiliu families, had not made any clear statements on this, the people's remembrance and remembrance of Director Wang had gradually unfolded. Although it is only a little bit of a vegetarian and there is no more profound action, this kind of completely spontaneous expression is more and more able to express the affirmation of this person in the current world.
Soon the trend continued to spread, and even some pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River took the initiative to take down the too bright lanterns. Spread further to the upper level, many people of the current have left the capital to Langya County, on the avenue between Jiankang and Jincheng, you can hear the strong emotional elegy of the people everywhere.
There is no interest in these various remembrances, and in addition to sadness and farewell, there is probably also the implication of saying goodbye to an era.
One person's success and the whole country celebrates, such an experience has many feelings among the people, such as the previous victory in the Central Plains into the capital, it is Shishu Xianle.
And an entire city is permeated with an atmosphere of grief because of the loss of one person, even if it is not very strong, which is extremely rare. Even the early years of Su Zu's death in his prime were not as deep as the resonance that Wang Dao's death brought to the people of the time.
The death of a major minister of the Yuan Auxiliary, the atmosphere of the people is still secondary, and the most important thing naturally comes from the mourning courtesy given by the center.
In the past, once the minister mourned and mourned, even if the posthumous gift of the code still needs to be discussed, he will definitely send a messenger to comfort the family of the deceased as soon as possible, which is the human touch that has always been the case since Zhongxing.
But someone soon discovered that it had been two days since the news of Director Wang's death was transmitted to the capital, but there was no official statement in the Taiyuan. Although there are also a large number of Taiwanese ministers who took leave to go to Langya to mourn, they were all in private identities without exception, and even several Taiwanese assistants were still sitting in the stage and working normally!
After making this discovery, many people at the time, especially some people who had benefited from Director Wang, suddenly became angry in their hearts, expressing their dissatisfaction through various channels, and many powerful speeches flew into the stage like snowflakes.
In the Central Scrivener Office, the new Central Scrivener He Chong looked lonely, and at this time there were a large number of proclamations piled up on his case, and he was not in the mood to review and sort them out.
At this time, it was the fourth day of Wang Dao's death, and although He Chong himself did not go to Langya County, he also sent his family to express his grief. His most important task at the moment is mainly to make preliminary preparations for the upcoming second rectification of the bureaucracy, and to clearly determine the many accumulated local affairs, in order to get on the right track as soon as possible.
However, this work has to be stopped at the moment, and one of the reasons is naturally that a large number of officials under the Central Book Administration frequently take leave to go to mourn, which disrupts the rhythm of affairs. On the other hand, it is the internal and external aspects of the people's dissatisfaction with the center, for example, yesterday alone, He Chong issued more than a dozen government edicts, more than half of which were rejected and refused to be implemented.
As a result, almost the entire government affairs system in Taiwan was paralyzed, but He Chong was helpless, and he couldn't even get angry.
Because in the eyes of the people of the time, He Chong is not only Wang Dao's nephew, but also Wang Dao can be called He Chong's benefactor, even if there are any differences between them later, but now everyone is dead, He Chong is now in Taifu, and the most important thing to do is to strive for a fair evaluation and mourning for Wang Dao.
But now, instead of saying a word about this matter, He Chong used the so-called official affairs to cover up his coldness, completely lost his morality, and was naturally despised by others.
He Chong sat in the official office here, and not long after, Chu Yu, who also had a sad face, also came over. Chu Yi should be regarded as the No. 1 auxiliary minister in Taiwan at the moment, but he was not exempted from the attack of the times, but was more questioned because of his position as a local official.
Relatively speaking, Chu Chong's predicament is more serious than that of He Chong. Because the internal and external personnel appointments he was in charge of were directly related to the results of their subsequent rectification of the officials, as Chu Yi was criticized, many of the personnel appointments he issued were directly rejected by the parties, and he did not dare to jump out at this juncture to bear the accusation.
The two of them smiled bitterly, and their hearts were full of helplessness for a while.
Although Director Wang's death is a major event, it would be too exaggerated to say that the entire political situation will be affected by Taichung's improper handling of this matter. Because even if Director Wang has a lofty reputation, after all, he has faded out of the current situation for a long time, and if people abandon the current affairs because of this old feelings, they are not worthy of gaining a foothold in the current situation at all.
The reason why such a big reaction has aroused in Taicheng in just a few days is actually mainly due to the decrees they have implemented. Even if they can control the inside of the front office, this control is not absolute, after all, there are some people and some things that even they can't completely clean out.
For example, Wei Chong, who was deprived of military power before, although he was increasingly marginalized in Taiwan, after all, his identity as the abbot was there, and there would naturally be a group of frustrated people around him. Although Wei Chongqi is clumsy and weak, this kind of method of attacking the reputation of political opponents does not need to be taught.
Moreover, after the beginning of spring this year, they will carry out more severe reforms in the administration of officials in order to control Jiangdong Prefecture and counties more thoroughly, and this kind of thing cannot be concealed. There will inevitably be a considerable number of incumbents who will be affected by this purge, and they will naturally have the intention of stirring up something in order to protect themselves.
A combination of many internal and external factors, Director Wang's death provided the best excuse for those potential opponents, and in a very short period of time, such a big trend was brewed, so that a consensus was gradually reached that as long as Director Wang's funeral was not properly handled, everything else would be suspended.
The pressure felt by the Taifu is not only from the criticism of the times, but also from the urgency of time. Although they are still dragging Shen Weizhou's appointment in Xuzhou, Xuzhou affairs have been carried out calmly and orderly, and no one can say at what moment Shen Weizhou will completely free up his hands and officially intervene in Jiangdong affairs.
At that time, if they try to achieve their intentions through the rectification of officials, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.
And if you want to properly handle Director Wang's funeral, there are two problems in it, which make the Taifu people sad. One of them is the obstruction from the queen mother in the garden, in fact, as early as the first time she learned of Wang Dao's death, Chu Yu and her subordinates had already drawn up a charter on Wang Dao's mourning and several alternatives, and submitted them to the court together, but the queen mother refused to express her position, so she didn't send it.
Why the queen mother was full of resentment towards the Wang family and Wang Dao, Chu Yi and others did not dare to think deeply, but they could not ignore the queen mother's wishes and directly bypass the court to deal with this matter.
Because the purge in the front desk has made the queen mother extremely unhappy, and even returned directly to the court to listen to the government, which is a warning to them. If they dare to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes this time, maybe the next moment Liyang's Yu Yi will be edicted to lead the people into the capital and break their control of the central situation.
There is another point, that is, the problem in Langya Township is mainly Wang Yunzhi. The clues of Wang Yunzhi's collusion with Yu Yi, Zhuge Hui can know, and Chu Yi and them can naturally know it. Although they still can't figure out what Wang Yunzhi wants to do, they must make a fuss about Wang Dao's funeral, there is no doubt about it!
This is the situation that Taiwan is facing now, and it is difficult both internally and externally!
The best thing to solve is Wang Yunzhi's problem, although his person is a descendant of the Wang family, but now even Wang Dao is dead, just a white body, even if there is some ability to bewitch the villagers, how much harm can it be?
Therefore, Chu Yu and the others want to break this deadlock, and the first focus is on Langya. This matter is very easy to solve, as long as a heavy minister is sent to lead the guards into Langya Township in the name of funeral to see Wang Yunzhi and those Langya villagers killed, it will naturally be able to nip some hidden dangers in the bud.
But military affairs are always ominous, and it is reasonable and moral to lead the army to rush into people's doors when they are in mourning, so who to send is a key.
On the one hand, Zhuge Hui is Shang Shuling, an incumbent Taiwanese assistant, with enough status, on the other hand, Zhuge Hui is also the leader of Langya Township, even if he leads the army into the township, it is impeccable.
However, this ushered in a new problem, and Zhuge Hui was reluctant to go! (https:)
