Chapter 29: Suddenly Looking Back at the Sky (10)
[Second update, ask for red tickets, collect]
After a few days of rumors, the Kaifeng prefect was finally replaced.
After being impeached by the official the day before yesterday, Han Wei had already avoided his position as usual and stayed at home for his crimes, and put on the notebook and asked to go out.
Cai was indeed recommended by Han Jiang to Han Wei's subordinates, and his management of the right wing was also specially promoted by Han Wei. Although there were early signs of Han Wei's resignation, Cai did move closer to Zhang Dian because he wanted to find a backer again. But I didn't expect things to develop so quickly, and when the real thing came to an end, Cai was still a little panicked.
"Isn't Han Dafu a member of the Son of Heaven's Mansion, why did the official family agree to his resignation so quickly?"
Cai did glance at Han Gang, now that he was asking for himself, it was impossible for him to be talking about the wind and cold. But what the Son of Heaven thinks, although Cai really knows it, it is inconvenient to let it go and tell others. And the speed of the Son of Heaven's decision was indeed beyond his expectations.
Unlike his brother Han Jiang, Han Wei does not support Wang Anshi's changes. In fact, the eight brothers of the Han family, except for the eldest Han Gang, who was robbed of his official position because of the felony of abandoning the city and fleeing, the other seven sons are all eunuchs, but their political positions are different.
Han Jiang, who is now the highest-ranking person, stands firmly on Wang Anshi's side. His position as prime minister, in the final analysis, was also given up by Wang Anshi. One leads the army outside, and the other handles political affairs inside, and they cooperate very tacitly - Han Gang was also sacrificed because of this tacit understanding.
Although Han Wei has a deep old friendship with Wang Anshi, when he joined the army in the secretary room by the side of Zhao Ji, who was still the prince, he kept admiring Wang Anshi, so that Zhao Wei understood that there is still a good talent in the world who is not in line with the customs and has the heart to cheer up. But now Han Wei has parted ways with Wang Anshi, and there are many obstacles to the implementation of the new law in Kaifeng Mansion.
However, although Han Wei resigned because of discord with Wang Anshi, the new prefect who was replaced was clearly still an old party. And it turned out to be Liu Zhen, the former Hedong capital transfer envoy who was not dealing with Han Jiang. Judging from this candidate, Zhao Ji did not stand on Wang Anshi's side to ensure the smooth implementation of the new law in Kaifeng Mansion, but to guard against the Han brothers. One is the prime minister who leads the army and the other is the big Yin of the capital, in order to avoid suspicion, Han Wei should indeed leave.
Hearing the news, Cai Qu didn't drink the wine well. The top boss fell too fast, and the new backer had not yet been confirmed, and Cai Qu's mood was difficult to cheer up for a while.
Turning Tokyo into several compartments and letting the managers of each compartment handle general affairs is Han Wei's initiative. Now that Han Wei has resigned, no one can say whether the newly appointed Liu Zhen will inherit this system.
However, Cai did repeatedly promise Han Gang that he would handle the things he had entrusted him with. In today's situation, the celebrities in front of Wang Anshi-Zhang Dian and Han Gang-are all concerned about this matter, and he must also pay attention to it.
If you want to be valued in front of Wang Xianggong, of course, you have to work hard first.
Cai is well aware of this.
……………………
Next.
It was only half a day before the appointment was issued, and the new prefect Liu Zhen had already arrived in Kaifeng Mansion.
The outgoing Han Jiang and Liu Zhen checked the public accounts together, and after the handover, they rejected the new prefect's invitation to a banquet without sincerity, and left without hesitation.
The Han family's family carried the cage from the back door, and more than a dozen carriages lined up in the back street, and the back garden of Kaifeng Mansion no longer belonged to them. And the officials in the house watched the excitement with their sleeves and hands, and none of them stepped forward to help.
In Tokyo, there is a saying that 'disobey Kaifeng Mansion and be filial to Yushitai'. The Taiguan of the Kaifeng Prefect and the Imperial Historical Observatory are the two positions that are most likely to make mistakes and leave their posts, but the treatment they receive from their former subordinates after leaving office is very different.
Most of the Taiwan officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory will soon return to the court after they are transferred because the impeachment is not accepted, and they will often be promoted to reward them for their meritorious work in not avoiding power and courage, so the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory are still very attentive to the former Taiwanese officials who are about to leave Beijing, and they are more filial than their own sons.
And the Kaifeng prefect who governs the capital is all talented in governing affairs, so they can be entrusted with this tedious but important work. But after all, Tokyo City is a place where many forces are intertwined, and most of the officials in the prefecture have their own backstage. In order to show their talents, the prefects inevitably adopted tough measures against the officials when they actually handled political affairs. So when they are dismissed for some reason, no one will pay attention to them.
Seeing that the officials in the house had changed their previous courtesies, and looked at the Han family's jokes with cold eyes, Cai did just sigh and did not disturb the Han family's moving work. Tomorrow, Han Wei will go east on the road, and he will also see him off. There is no need to ask Han Wei to say goodbye here.
"I've heard of it. Liu Dafu came today, but a few days ago, Wang Xianggong named the one who was waiting for him to visit. But people are just temperamental, and they don't pay attention to Wang Xianggong at all. ”
"Liu Dafu is really hard-tempered, if you don't go, you won't go."
"This Liu Dafu looks like he is in the same family as Wen Xianggong, and they all don't like the new law."
"What about Yulu? It's also a new law to add money to our officials, and Liu Dafu doesn't like the new law, so will it be added next year? ”
Passing under the porch, the whispers in the side compartment came into my ears. When Cai did arrive at the Third Hall of the Inner Palace, his successor Liu Zhen was already sitting on the prefect's seat.
When the new prefect of Kaifeng took office, as usual, all officials in the government had to pay tribute to the court. That is to say, officials of Kaifeng Prefecture such as Cai Qu must step into the official hall and bow down to the new prefect. If it is a civil official, the prefect will stand and accept it; If it is a military position, it is necessary to report the official title and name, and the prefect sits and receives the salute.
Of course, Cai did not want to bow down to Liu Zhen, because of an incident yesterday, he had some thoughts in his heart. Liu Zhen did not deal with his master, and what he overheard just now also proved that Liu Zhen did not go to visit Wang Anshi at all. Grasping these two items, what Cai did have to do was very simple.
The ceremony of court participation is carried out in the order of steps. Liu Zhen stood in front of the seat in the public hall, while the officials in the yazhong entered the hall one by one according to their official positions, knelt down and saluted them.
First, it was a general judgment, and then it was the two magistrates of Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties. Next, there are the recorders, judges, and magistrates. When they were all over, Cai did business with Zhuxiang Guan and stepped forward together.
Following the order of the salute official, a group of officials bowed to the new Kaifeng prefect. But in front of Liu Zhen, Cai did stiffen his body and remained motionless. Cai Qu, who was standing alone in the crowd, plus the subordinate officials of Kaifeng Mansion who knelt down to Liu Zhen on his side, looked together like a mountain-shaped pen holder.
The people around him tugged at the corners of Cai Quyi's clothes, lowered their voices and said urgently: "Don't you come down to the court yet?" ”
"Court Counselor?" Cai did seem to hear a very ridiculous remark, with an indescribable mocking smile on his face, and asked loudly in turn: "Why do you want to participate in the court?!" ”
Liu Zhen's eyebrows tightened, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he knew very well in his heart that this person was clearly here to stir up trouble. He spoke slowly, as if every word was thoughtful: "There has been this story for a hundred years. ”
"In the Tang Dynasty, the bureaucrats of the feudal towns were all recruited for the festival, and there was a ceremony for court participation. Now he is also a courtier, and he is comparable to the lord under the hub, and this story can be continued?! Cai Qu's voice was raised higher, and he had no intention of visiting the shrine.
Liu Zhen's face sank. Cai did act contrary to the norm, didn't he have a court counselor when he saw Han Wei?!
"You go down!" Liu Zhen flicked the sleeves of his robe. Cai Qu's move offended the prestige of Yin Zhiwei of his government, and Liu Zhen had to ask for an explanation in front of the Son of Heaven.
Cai did leave the Kaifeng Mansion as if he had won a battle, and Han Gang reminded him of this method. The bigger the trouble, the better it will be for him. He Cai Zhizheng has clearly drawn a line with Liu Zhen, whether it is Han Jiang or Wang Anshi, he can sell well. And it is right, put it in front of the Son of Heaven, it can't be said that he Cai is really wrong, at most he is accused of disrespecting the official.
However, after he made such a fuss, Kaifeng Mansion would definitely not be able to stay, and he would inevitably resign, depending on what position Wang Anshi and Han Jiang would reward him. There are also things entrusted to him by Han Gang, and the petition has been placed on his desk, but it is impossible to go back and do it again.
Although I feel a little sorry for Han Yukun, in Cai Qu's heart, it is more important to show favor to Han Jiang and Wang Anshi - if you can get up directly, why go around the door indirectly.
……………………
"Cai Zhi just has a big temper."
Walking in the deep corridor of the Kaifeng Mansion, the official who said this sentence was only in his thirties. But he has a big beard, handsome eyebrows, and a dashing and uninhibited gesture. If he hadn't had a beard, he would have been much younger than he was now. When the officials along the road saw him, they immediately avoided the road and saluted him respectfully.
This official has a very detached position in the state government, and in fact, he rarely comes to the official hall to help. Although he was often invited and drank most of the time, he was always able to do his official duties properly in the little time he had left.
Today, Cai Qu and Liu Zhen fell out, and Cai Qu's official affairs had to be handed over to others. Now it belongs to Cai Qu's official business, and for some reason it is pressed on the desk of this official. Although there were inevitably some complaints, I still started to deal with it very hard.
"What is this?" He dealt with a few urgent matters, and then took a document from the pile of official documents, and unfolded it, it turned out to be Zhou Nan's petition for leaving Le's nationality. He looked at it all from top to bottom and shook his head: "Since Zhou Nan is an Oiran, how can he go?" When a flower flies away, I am afraid that all the colors of the flowers will be gone. ”
Lifting the pen, he wrote down the sentence in a dragon and phoenix dance: "Mu Zhounan's transformation, although this meaning is commendable; The group of empty Hebei North, please do not allow. ”
Half a day later, Han Gang took the verdict and scolded the case: "Okay, you Su Zizhan, if you don't allow it, you won't allow it, why bother to play people with words!?" ”
