Chapter 1030: An Unexpected Appointment
Zhao Ziliang carefully read all the recommendation letters, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and instructed Du Fu: "Inform Li Mian to come and arrange a time, this king will meet him!" β
Du Fu agreed: "No! β
Gao Shang asked, "Does the king want to appoint Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin?" Li Mian is a member of the clan, and he may be on the side of the crown prince, so Jingzhao Mansion will not be under our control!" β
Zhao Ziliang had already thought about this question, and after thinking about it, he still felt that only Li Mian was the most suitable for this position at present, and he said: "The concerns of Lord Gao have been considered by this king, but do this king and the regent palace need to form a party for personal gain in order to let the decree pass?" The answer is no! You people do not hold any positions in the various yamen of the imperial court, you are just the staff of the king, this king does not have to pull all the courtiers to the camp of the king in order to control the court situation, the king is the ruler, there are already three party forces in the court, what the king and the regent palace have to do is to balance these forces, let the decree be carried out smoothly, if anyone obstructs the implementation of the decree, the king and the regent palace will suppress it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoSince ancient times, the phenomenon of gangs and factions in any dynasty exists, and it is almost impossible to eliminate this phenomenon, which is a subconscious behavior of officials and ministers to protect themselves, we do not need to eliminate the factions in the court, as long as we control the balance, this king wants to let these court ministers understand that this king is not to target or eradicate their forces, but to tell everyone, this king does not matter who is whom, as long as he has talent, loyalty to the court, support the king's governance strategy, and work hard for the king, The king will be given a heavy responsibility, otherwise he will be suppressed! β
Li Muchen thought for a moment and said: "The king is wise, in this way, the ministers and officials will soon find out that the king does not mean to target either side of them, and no matter which side of the court and the central forces will no longer regard the king and the regent palace as enemies." They will treat the king as if he were an emperor and compete for favor in front of the king! Then, they will continue to be hostile and defensive to each other, but they will also become more and more attentive to the government! β
Zhao Ziliang was noncommittal about Li Muchen's analysis, and the other officials next to him suddenly became enlightened as if they had seen the sun through the clouds, it turned out that the truly wise superior was so playing with power!
When everyone's thinking was still stuck on this matter, Li Mi had already stood up and said: "King, Weichen thinks that although the king's measures to rectify the rule of officials have begun to show results, we still can't be careless now, because the imperial army is not completely in the hands of the king, as long as the army is not completely controlled by the king, any decrees and measures issued by the king may be overturned." The three factions of the imperial court and those big families have many spokespersons in the army, and their positions are not low, and many of them are still generals in the army, and these people do not have the concept of the supremacy of the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court. What is the world of the country? In their eyes, the family is of course more important than the country, so how heavy their selfishness is, the king had better not use his own standards to guess their lower limit! It is imperative that the king immediately begin to reorganize the army, and even if he cannot control it immediately, he must limit and disperse the military power of the commanders! β
Zhao Ziliang thought so, got up and saluted Li Mi with a fist: "Mr. is really Xiao He of Han!" β
Li Mi hurriedly flashed to the side, "The king is polite, and the micro-minister is ashamed!" β
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to Du Fu: "The king of this edict is that all the generals and colonels of the Zhaowu Captain and above in the capital will rush to the imperial city tomorrow morning to discuss the matter, and there must be no mistake!" If it is outdated, military law will be engaged! β
"Yes!"
In the afternoon, Li Mian, who had been notified, came to call the regent palace, and Zhao Ziliang met him in the Zijin Pavilion in the palace. Li Mian is a clan, has always been known for his sternness and ability, when he used to supervise the imperial history, he was not afraid of power, was honest and outspoken, and often impeached court disrespects and illegal officials, which was quite valued by Suzong, and Daizong also entrusted him with important tasks after succeeding to the throne. Zhao Ziliang's decision to appoint Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin this time is to use his integrity and ability to improve the security of the capital and improve the economic situation of Chang'an.
Zhao Ziliang asked him: "What is the situation in Lingnan?" β
Li Mian said: "There are many thieves in Lingnan, and now the power of the imperial court is weak, and the generals guarding Lingnan are a little dissatisfied with the dispatch of the government!" β
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "The king knows some of the situations you said, but now the decision of the imperial court to cut the feudal domain has been decided, first of all, from now on, it will no longer appoint the envoy of the festival, and even the observation envoy can not be appointed without appointing, this is not that the court does not believe in the ministers and officials, the court wants to change the passive situation now, it must start to change from the system, limit the rights of local officials, if they are not only in charge of the army and government affairs, but also financial power, it is easy to breed their ambitions, the Tang Dynasty to the current situation, Lord Li has also seen the whole evolution process, if you don't cut the feudal domain, there will only be more and more feudal towns, so you, the Lingnan Festival Envoy, can no longer do it, but this king has another appointment for you, I hope you can take care of the overall situation! β
After hearing this, Li Mian arched his hand and said: "The king can say this to Weichen, Weichen is very moved, the king can rest assured, Weichen is not a person without a sense of the overall situation, no matter where the court transfers Weichen, Weichen will obey the order!" β
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Very good, I am very happy that you can think of this king." After careful consideration, this king has decided to let you take the position of Jing Zhao Yin! Jing Zhao Yin's responsibilities and burdens are not light, everyone in Chang'an City is counting on you, Chang'an's prosperity is no longer in these years, it is too far away from Kaiyuan and Tianbao, on the one hand, because of the rebellion and the reason for breaking the city, and partly because of the improper use of people, the first thing this king hopes you will do after taking office is to rectify the rule of Jingzhao Mansion, appoint sage officials, people like Wei Zhen and Xue Cui will not be able to, officials can not be superficial, what the government needs now is officials who can do things, can do things, and dare to do things; The second is that the problem of public security has always been a big problem in Chang'an, especially in recent years, there have been several rebellions, causing a catastrophe to Chang'an City, which has also brought a huge disaster to public security, not only the small bandits are rampant, the children of officials, the children of nobles, and the relatives of the emperor are trampling on the dignity of the law, this king knows that you are a person who is not afraid of power, I hope you will continue to maintain this quality, and dare to fight against the evil forces, this king will give you backing, no matter who dares to challenge the authority of the law of the Tang Dynasty, This king is a staunch supporter of your punishment for such acts; Another is the people's life and economic problems, Chang'an's economic level is much worse than before, you, the Jingzhao Mansion, should find a way to let the people have something to do, have money to earn, have enough food to wear, have a house to live in, this king also knows that it is not an easy thing to do this step, so you have a great responsibility! β
Li Mian stood up and hugged his fist at Zhao Ziliang, then lifted his robe and bowed down: "Thanks to the king's weight, the court has entrusted Weichen with a heavy responsibility, and Weichen can only bow down and die!" β
Not all the royal relatives are greedy for pleasure, idle, idle eggs hurt wine bags and rice bags and gentlemen, there are still capable people among the clan and relatives, Li Mian is undoubtedly one of the best, Zhao Ziliang appointed Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin is relieved, this person's heart for the public is much heavier than selfishness.
The news that Li Mian was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin spread like wings in less than an hour, and at night, the whole Chang'an knew the news, which made many people start to worry and be afraid, Li Mian is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is a member of the clan, the key is that this person is honest and selfless, and dares to confront the powerful, this news makes many people sleepless all night.
Although the news of Li Mian's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin made many people jealous, more court ministers and officials were wondering how Zhao Ziliang could let Li Mian, who was born in the clan, serve as Jing Zhaoyin? This is not in line with common sense, Zhao Ziliang should now try his best to eliminate the clan's right to speak in the court, why did he still let Li Mian be Jing Zhaoyin? Soon, ministers and officials with rich experience in political struggles understood that Zhao Ziliang would be used whoever he was talented, no matter who he was.
Zhao Ziliang's appointment of Li Mian to the post of Jing Zhaoyin made the bigwigs of the three factions in the DPRK and China understand that he is not trying to crack down on and target a certain faction or other forces, but to change the current bad situation, let the corrupt officials leave or be punished, let the talented and ambitious people be reused and promoted, change the outdated officialdom atmosphere in the past, and improve the political environment This is the only way to save the Tang Dynasty at present.
Wonjae Mansion.
In the hall, the officials sent by the prime minister gathered together, and Yuan Zai sat on the main seat, frowning and said, "It seems that our understanding of the regent was too superficial before. Since he doesn't have to govern by force, then we can't fight against him, and everyone makes moves within the rules, which is very good. β
Song Hui said: "Xiangye, although I said so, but Zhao Ziliang always makes a fuss about greedy ink, which makes people a little unbearable, Xiangye, think about it, now in this world, which official doesn't make a point?" If he keeps doing this, all of us here will have to put him in a cell! Even his life is not guaranteed! β
Han Hui said: "It's not simple? It's a big deal that everyone here, including Xiangye, won't make any more money in the future, haven't you made enough money over the years? β
Dong Xiu sneered: "Lord Han, you are an elegant person, you don't care about those things that smell of copper, but we are all laymen, and laymen have to eat, don't you have money?" β
Han Hui counterattacked: "It's almost enough, although the more money is the better, but you can't bring it into the underworld of the Yin Dynasty!" β
Dong Xiu and the others looked at Yuan Zai: "Xiangyeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Yuan Zai frowned and raised his hand: "For the time being, I will stop for a while, his wind will not blow all the time, the fierce force will not last long, there will always be times when I am weak, I will control my hands and feet, understand?" β
The crowd had to agree: "Yes! β
