Chapter 201: Your Majesty's Resignation

Hearing Chen Zhizhong say these eight words, Xu Ping suddenly seemed to understand something. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe personnel changes of the three divisions and yamen this time are not from the meaning of the deacons, but from Zhao Zhen. As for why he did this, Xu Ping had a rough answer in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

After gossiping for a while, Xu Ping handed over the official affairs of the Salt and Iron Division with Wang Bowen again, and took a turn in the yamen. Seeing that it was not early, he left the Sansi Yamen and went to Ouchi to prepare to say goodbye to Zhao Zhen.

The doubts in Xu Ping's heart will definitely be solved when he faces it this time.

When he arrived outside the Vertical Arch Palace, Li Zhang, who was on duty at the gate, hurriedly greeted him, pulled Xu Ping aside, and asked him, "Brother, have you heard about the personnel changes in the court today?" Most of the people in the three divisions have changed! ”

"I've heard about it, but in fact, there haven't been many changes, and the level of the judge has basically not changed."

Li Zhang shook his head again and again, and was amazed: "Kou Xuan actually has to worship Zaizhi, who would have dared to believe it a year ago?" I'm afraid that if it's him, he must not dare to think of this day! Ding is the first defeat, everyone calls him a lost dog, and he even became a slaughterer! ”

Xu Ping smiled silently, this is Zhao Zhen's reward for Kou Yang for shielding Xu Ping from the wind and rain in the third division this year, and his career will end here. It's enough for him, Ding is the rest of the party, he is the first to come out.

There were tens of thousands of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, how many people dared to look forward to the position of Zaizhi? Kou Xuan's life is enough.

After sighing for a while, Li Zhang said to Xu Ping again: "My brother has been promoted to Xiaolong, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the capital in a year and a half." Naturally, I take care of you at home, but my sister-in-law is there, and she is about to give birth, what should I do? ”

"What can I do? Wait until the child is born, and in a few months, take the child to Luoyang after you have recovered your body. ”

"But you are also sick now, and you can't be called by anyone."

Xu Ping was silent for a while, and said to Li Zhang: "Tan Hu has arrived in the capital, he has been by my side for many years, and he is very effective in using it. When I leave, I will transfer him to Jingxi Road together, and there is no shortage of people around me. ”

Li Zhang opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed and didn't say it.

Xu Ping's Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor is not Bai Sheng, this time I am afraid that I will only have to serve a full term before I can come back, otherwise there will be no suitable place for him in the capital. With the same official position, Chen Zhizhong can already be the third envoy, and what Xu Ping lacks now is qualifications, and only by making up for his qualifications can he gain a foothold in the court.

Generally speaking, if the post is above the waiting system, and the official is in the two major provinces, he will not be able to be promoted according to the grinding method. But this is by no means to say that the grinding method does not work, even if it is in power to the prime minister, the relevant qualifications still determine everyone's ranking and specific affairs. In the same way, if you are more senior than others, your status will be higher, and your speech will be more effective than others. The emperor's advisory opinion is still given priority to seniority.

Wang Zeng was the prime minister again, why was Lu Yijian willing to give him the position of prime minister? The simplest thing is that Wang Zeng has deeper qualifications and speaks with more weight. It's just that Zhao Zhen didn't agree out of the need for the prime minister to check and balance each other. Even so, Lu Yijian did not form a gang, and he still couldn't suppress Wang Zeng in the political hall.

The country has been peaceful for a long time, and the promotion of officials has become a regular practice. There is a route to follow for which dispatch is appointed, which dispatch is appointed again, and how to ascend step by step. The most important thing for officials to form a party is to work together to occupy a favorable position in advance. Stuck in those few key positions, from then on step ahead, step by step.

The affairs of the three divisions are busy, but they are not crucial in promotion, and the positions of transfer envoys, judges, and deputy envoys can be held as long as they have been held. The most important points on the road to promotion are the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Yuan, as well as the Sherenyuan, which can be promoted quickly by boarding these springboards, far faster than the local magistrates and other yamen. The emperor and the deacons often arrange their favorite people to these positions to lay out the future situation in the court.

The current intellectual, Li Shu, is particularly worried that the Song Qi and Song Zhen brothers will rise faster than him. They were both known for their literature, and once these two men became the first Hanlin Scholars, they were held down. Therefore, he did everything possible to prevent these two people from entering the Academy, as long as he had served as the Governor before them, he could enter the Academy before them.

Xu Ping couldn't go that way, even if Zhao Zhen intended to cultivate, there was no choice but to let him go out and make up for the missing qualifications. One is the transfer envoy, and the other is Zhizhou, Xu Ping must make up for the two missing items, and only then will it be possible to enter the two prefectures and become the ruler in the future. The sooner you complete it, the better your chances.

Perhaps, this is Zhao Zhen's original intention of letting Xu Pingwai go as a transfer envoy on Jingxi Road. The local government is not as good as the court, and the promotion of official positions is slower, so why don't you go up before you leave?

A gate guard hurriedly came over and said to Li Zhang: "Yanei, it's your turn, go and get the reward!" ”

Xu Pingqi said: "What day is today?" Why do you want to give out bounty money? ”

"The stars changed last night, and today there is an amnesty, and the official family will reward the soldiers in Beijing with money from the treasury. My brother is here for a while, and I'll come when I go. Li Zhang said as he hurriedly ran towards the gate.

Star change? Amnesty? Xu Ping thought in his heart, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Li Zhang came back with the reward, and accompanied Xu Ping to gossip for a while, and when the time came, he sent Xu Ping into the palace.

Entering the Yanhe Palace, the salute was like a ceremony, and Zhao Zhen ordered a seat and tea soup.

Xu Ping raised his head to look at Yue Zhen, and when he saw that his face was yellow and listless, he sighed: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few days, and I don't want to encounter this disaster!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "After a few days of recuperation, I feel much better now." At this point, he pointed to his face. You wrap it like a zongzi here, I heard that it was the handwriting of Imperial Physician Wang? How does it feel? ”

"Weichen This is a skin injury, it looks scary, but it is actually fine. It's just that His Majesty is sick this time, but he is sick in the internal organs, not as easy as the minister. Your Majesty is young and strong, and he must take care of the dragon's body, and he must not be negligent. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "What, do you want to be like the ministers in the court, admonishing me?" Today, the women in the palace sent out nearly 100 people, and you just persuaded me, but I didn't have to send them. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Less close to women, the courtiers have already said a lot, Your Majesty must know in his heart, and the ministers will talk about it again, it is nothing more than a dog's tail and a mink, it is better not to talk about it." What the minister wants to talk about is some other health preservation methods. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Zhao Zhen became interested, leaned forward and asked.

"According to Chen's knowledge, the reason why His Majesty had the symptoms of the first few days is not only because of her feminine nature, but also because of her usual diet. Moreover, most of the reasons are only in the diet, not in the woman. ”

"I haven't said that! - Xu Ping, you didn't mean to use this kind of talk to please me, did you? ”

Xu Ping sighed: "Your Majesty knows very well, how could he have done such a thing?" What Wei Chen wants to talk about is really closely related to His Majesty's body. If Your Majesty listens, I am afraid that there will be something to offend, and I hope to forgive your sins! ”

"Speak, speak, say whatever you want! I'm not afraid to tell you, I've heard a lot of ugly things these days! Not only the ministers of the court, but also the palace from the queen mother to the chamberlain, buzzing in my ears every day! ”

This situation can be imagined, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile. A big man is said to touch less women every day, and everyone talks about it when they meet, and I don't know how Zhao Zhen endured the embarrassment.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, your body is really fat." Fat people are prone to illness, which is what ordinary people call the disease of wealth, and they need to be carefully regulated every day. ”

"What a fat man's wealth disease! Haven't heard of it! It is said that it is easy to get sick when you are poor and thin, and it is easy for fat people to get sick! ”

Also, in this era, it is the norm for most people to not have enough to eat, and being fat is a sign of physical health in most cases. But this is not the same for the poor, but not for the emperor who is clothed and fed.

Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, whether there is any effect, you can try it and know." I know that the imperial physician in the palace must have the art of spitting and guiding, but for Your Majesty, those are far from enough. Because His Majesty deals with government affairs all day long, and lives in the deep palace, it is difficult to move his legs and feet, and his illness is easy to accumulate day by day. The minister sent His Majesty nine words, eat less meat, eat more vegetables, and exercise often. In particular, those oily and watery foods, such as fatty mutton and seafood, although sweet, are also mostly poisonous, especially bad for His Majesty's health. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "You really have a point?" Eat less seafood, the doctor said. But the mutton is warm, why should I eat less? Besides, why eat more vegetables? ”

In your body, you should consume less fat, cholesterol, and purines as much as possible. But how to explain this to Zhao Zhen? After thinking about it again and again, Xu Ping couldn't help laughing in the end.

Holding the wat in both hands, Xu Ping said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything about medical skills, but he has a little experience in health preservation." Why are you fat? Because there is too much toxin accumulation in the meat, and the detoxification of the dish is just the right restraint. In the future, as long as you eat less meat and more vegetables, you can slowly recuperate. Your Majesty also doesn't have to worry about the lack of taste of the dishes, there are quite a few green recipes in the minister's house, the taste is excellent, Li Zhang has been taught, let him offer it in the future. Also, Your Majesty must move more in the future, and you can't lie on the desk every day. The best thing is to set a time every day, when to eat, and a combination of meat and vegetables. When to move, whether it is a bow or a shuttlecock kick, as long as you move, it is healthy. ”

"It's not difficult for you to say, but I'll tell you what the truth is."

Xu Ping spread his hands: "It's really difficult for the minister to explain this truth, but it must be useful." Anyway, it's not difficult, why don't Your Majesty try it for a year and a half, if your body is better, how much trouble will you be saved? ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping and laughed: "Okay, good, I'll try it for half a year according to you!" If it really works, I'll give you a compliment. - Xu Ping, after talking about this, it's time for us to get down to business. ”

Xu Ping praised Wat: "Weichen is full of doubts now, and I don't know why he was suddenly dismissed from the deputy envoy of salt and iron." ”

"It's not easy in the capital, let you go outside and relax." When Zhao Zhen said this, his expression was a little lonely. "I saw a few days ago that you really wanted to abolish the West Water Mill, and it seems that in your opinion, this matter is very important. However, every move in the capital is implicated too much, and this matter really can't be done. If you go to the outside state army, you have to do these things, it's just a gesture. In the past year, I have seen your hard work in the third division, and I don't want to chill your mind, nor do I want you to give up halfway through what you are doing in the third division. The other roads are too far, Jingxi Road is near, and it is convenient for Luoyang to go to the capital, so you will be allowed to go there to continue to do the unfinished business of the three divisions. My health is not good, and I will have to rely on Zaifu in government affairs in the future, and it will be difficult for you to do anything in the third division, so let's go outside. ”

After listening to the last sentence, Xu Ping understood the context of the matter.

Zhao Zhen had this illness, whether he wanted to or not, part of the power had to be ceded to the deacons. And without Zhao Zhen's direct support, why did Kou Yang and Xu Ping block the pressure of Zaizhi? Not to mention continuing to reform, even if it is kept, it will not be able to do it. In the days to come, the three divisions will receive more and more orders from the Zhongshu, and they will not be able to make their own decisions.

Kou Yingding said that the identity of the Yu Party was there, and without the direct support of the emperor, the Third Division would no longer be able to let him be the master. Upgrading him to the ruling party is a reward for his hard work for a year, and the real purpose is to let Chen Zhizhong take charge of the three divisions.

Although Chen Zhizhong is not very old, he has profound qualifications, and he is the son of Chen Shu, and he has the merit of supporting Zhao Zhen, which can add up to the achievements of this year. Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Zhizhong has nothing to do with Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, and is Zhao Zhen's own person.

Wang Bowen replaced Xu Ping with the same meaning, don't look at the same Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, Wang Bowen's words are much more important than Xu Ping in the court. This is the influence of seniority, and the right to speak is not only related to official positions.

And when Xu Ping arrived at Jingxi Road, he could continue to do what he wanted to do. As for what to do, Zhao Zhen really doesn't have the energy to ask now, anyway, trust is.

Thinking about this, Xu Ping praised Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty Lao bothered, how dare the minister be?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You must have a lot of things to do when you go to Jingxi Road, for convenience, I don't want you to live under Li Ruogu, make an exception and promote you to a straight bachelor." Xu Ping, when you go to Jingxi Road, you have to do things beautifully, and don't let me be laughed at. As a little dragon in your twenties, you are the first person in the dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty's special grace, the micro-minister is ashamed, and he will live up to his expectations!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen already felt a little tired, and said to Xu Ping: "It's not early, if there is nothing else, you can leave the palace." This time to go to Jingxi, the bright room is too tight, you have to go home and prepare. ”

Xu Ping was just about to thank him for his resignation, but suddenly remembered something, and praised Zhao Zhen: "The minister was outside the palace just now, and I heard that because of the star change last night, today is amnesty?" ”

"Not bad. But you don't have to worry, Yang Jingzong's mistakes last time were too outrageous and not to be pardoned. ”

Zhao Zhen thought that Xu Ping was worried that Yang Jingzong would be pardoned because of this, so he spoke out first.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ping shook his head: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing will naturally be handled properly." However, when Chen mentioned this matter, it had nothing to do with Taiwei Yang, but he suddenly remembered that Ding Wei had been in Daozhou for many years. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping, frowned, and did not speak.

Xu Ping said again: "When the minister returned to Beijing from Yongzhou, he passed by Daozhou, and Ding Wei once came to visit. He is already an old man, and he no longer has the heart to fight for power back then, and just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Xu Ping, what do you want to say?" ”

"The minister wants to say that Ding Wei is now gone, but he is just an ordinary old man. What he was thinking about was to return to the Central Plains before he grew old. Yi Ding said that he had a bad record in the past, so naturally he could not be allowed to return to the capital, but I don't know if he could be allowed to settle in the nearby state army? For example, Gwangju, Tangju and other places. also fulfilled his wish, and he would not return to the court to do evil! Your Majesty's amnesty is a holy thing, so why not do more than that? ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping and didn't speak for a while. After a long time, he nodded: "You have a point, now that Ding Wei's henchmen are scattered, what can he do?" Remembering his hard work in the past, it is also appropriate to move closer to the Benzhou army. ”

As long as Ding Wei moves to the capital, he doesn't know how many people will be frightened. Didn't you see that you were not pleasing to the eye, and you wanted to control the three divisions? Then let Ding Wei get closer and see what the deacons think.

In the political hall, Wang Zeng may be the least afraid of Ding Wei, he was able to bring him down once back then, and now this situation can naturally bring down the second time. But Lu Yijian is different, what cultivates party henchmen and monopolizes power, this is all left over from Ding Wei's play back then. Speaking of grasping people's hearts, sensitivity to things, including the ability to do things, and the warmth and coldness of people, Lu Yijian is still a long way from Ding Wei.

In the future, the deacons will not worry about the hearts of the three divisions, and find someone for them to have a headache.

(Note: Renzong's illness and amnesty are both recorded in history, and they were not intentionally placed here.) (To be continued.) )
