After Mengzhou, Li Shen told Li Di about his trip to Luoyang City this time, and asked: "Xianggong, I don't know if there are any important things in the yamen recently?" I promised Xu Ducao, but I am afraid that there will be no free time in the past two months. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Di said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, it's good to leave the affairs in the state to the judge and the clerk to deal with, and the old man is really important." Since you have already agreed, you should do your best to do a good job. ”

"Thank you for making it happen!" Li Shen bowed, thought for a moment and raised his head. "There is one thing that the lower officials have been thinking about in their hearts, I wonder if the prince can solve the puzzle?"

"But it doesn't hurt to speak!"

"I heard that the main reason for Yan Xianggong's visit this time is that Lu Xianggong does not want to implement the new policy of Qianzhuang in the country, which is contrary to Wang Xianggong's intentions. I heard that the meaning of Wang Xianggong is that the imperial court will come forward to stabilize the price of silk, and then the three divisions will use the silk in their hands as a book, and the shop will print shopping coupons to pay for the flying tickets in the hands of Henan Prefecture. It is said that this proposal is extremely feasible, and the three divisions in the capital have begun to collect silk, and the price of silk has basically stabilized. At this time, why not do what the prince said? Why did Lu Xianggong insist on canceling the tickets of Henan Mansion, and even did not hesitate to make a wish to all the officials on Jingxi Road? ”

Hearing this, Li Di smiled and said: "Li Shen, you have always been an official outside, you have never entered the court, and you can't see things through." Originally, Lu Xianggong was able to enter the political hall back then, thanks to Wang Xianggong's support, so Wang Xianggong was the prime minister again, and Lu Xianggong was willing to give him the position of prime minister. At that time, the two had no dislikes, and they were doing things in a harmonious manner. Hmph, but Wang Xianggong is afraid that he didn't expect that Lu Xianggong has been in the political hall for many years, has a wide range of contacts, and he is in charge of all the major affairs of the court. Although Lu Xianggong is respectful to Wang Xianggong on the surface, the government is firmly in his hands, what do you say Wang Xianggong thinks? In the past year, Wang Xianggong was unwilling to prepare for the position of a clay puppet prime minister, and he had a constant quarrel with Lu Xianggong, and the two had already had a tense quarrel. Since the matter was proposed by Wang Xianggong, then Lu Xianggong naturally couldn't agree to it anyway. ”

Li Shen frowned: "Xia Guan feels that this is not only the case, but I can't say what it is, I always feel that it is just against Wang Xianggong, and Lu Xianggong will not be so aggressive." ”

Li Di sighed: "What you said is right, if that's all there is to it, Lu Xianggong is nothing more than a boycott of this matter, and he won't want to send Master Yan to Jingxi Road." The key is that if you really act according to Wang Xianggong's wishes, a game of chess on Jingxi Road will be alive. Moreover, Xu Ping is honest and sincere, and he really gave Chen Zhizhong a full set of rules for Qianzhuang's new policy, which is a bit troublesome. ”

"Xia Guan still doesn't understand, this is a good thing for the country and the people, why does Lu Xianggong have to stop it?"

Li Di sneered: "A good thing? Lu Yijian doesn't necessarily think it's a good thing. First of all, in his eyes, the money and grain collected by Jingxi Road this year is only afraid that it is still much more empty, since the ticket of Henan Mansion can be written off with a tick, where is the overcharged money and grain? The most important thing is that Li Shen, I shouldn't say what I'm saying today, you shouldn't listen to it, can you understand? ”

Li Shen hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "The lower official understands, the words come out of the mouth of the minister, into the ears of the lower official, and no one will mention it again!" In the past few years, Li Shen has been taught by Xianggong and understands the sense of proportion in his heart! ”

Li Di motioned for Li Shen to sit down, and said slowly: "Lu Xianggong is a human being, and his power is too strong, and he does not tolerate anyone at all. When I was in the political hall, I was ostracized by him a lot. At that time, he was just indignant and wanted to fight with him, but he was held hostage by him in everything, and he couldn't catch the slightest flaw, and finally humiliated himself. In the past two years, I have slowly figured it out, such as me, such as Wang Xianggong, how can I be Lu Yijian's opponent in the political hall? We just want to get things done. Lu Yijian didn't think of people in advance, he not only did things, but also installed his own henchmen properly, and took all the credit on himself. He has been in and out of the country for many years, he is very familiar with the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and he is good at entrapping party henchmen, how can he easily have a handle for people to grasp? The matter of Jingxi Road this time is very different from the past, if Wang Xianggong revitalizes Jingxi Road, the political achievements will be highlighted, should the officials here be promoted? If you ascend to the court, you will occupy the seat of Lu Yijian's party. These are still trivial matters, if the imperial court admits that Jingxi Road has done the right thing this time, then should the governance here be promoted to the whole country? Once it is to be implemented throughout the country, the previous rules and regulations will almost be overturned and restarted, which is what really touches Lu Yijian! ”

Li Shen has been a state and county official since Enyin, and has never entered the court, and what Li Di is talking about now is something he has never heard or thought about before. The local political structure is simple, often the will of the chief official determines the style of governance, and all rules and regulations are used to restrain officials, and most officials do not abide by them. But when it comes to the court, it is different, the second governor of the local government may only be in charge of a small stall in the various yamen in the capital, and some even just run errands. At this time, all kinds of rules and regulations show their power, everything must be done according to the rules, and free play is not allowed. This is inevitable, if there is a person in the yamen who has a person's mind, there is no need to do things.

Lu Yijian controlled the government, mainly relying on two things. One is to install their own people in important positions, and carry out their will quietly. The second is that he is more familiar with the rules and regulations than everyone else, and even the "Zhongshu Regulations" was compiled by him, and he proudly said that with the "Zhongshu Regulations", mediocre people can also be prime ministers in the future. The rules and regulations are a net in his hand, which binds the other ministers firmly, and he himself is able to maneuver through the loopholes in the various meshes.

Of the important yamen in the imperial court, only the third secretary Lu Yi has been treated for a short time, and he has not held an important position, so he cannot control it. Especially after Xu Ping arrived at the Third Division, the original rules and regulations were greatly changed, and Lu Yijian had no way to interfere. And it is through these rules and regulations that Xu Ping was able to keep the three divisions still on the original track after he left.

This time, Lu Yijian made every effort to prevent the redemption of the flying tickets in Henan Province, and the most important thing was that he was afraid that the experience here would really be pushed to the whole country, and the previous rules and regulations and officials who did things would only change greatly. In that case, all his meticulous layout in the past two years will be wasted. Xu Ping's actions in the third division, he hasn't forgotten it, how can he tolerate this kind of thing extending to other yamen.

Ignoring the original rules and regulations, it is true that it can be greatly broken and there are many fewer constraints on doing things, but at the same time, it will also make the officials who do things unrestrained, leaving huge loopholes for them to exploit. Xu Ping is a person who likes to formulate rules and regulations like Lu Yijian, and whoever comes to the system will have the initiative in whose hands.

Seeing that Li Shen was still a little dazed, he obviously still couldn't understand the logic of Lu Yijian's doing. Li Di sighed heavily: "General judgment, when you enter the court in the future, you will naturally understand what I said today." Being a local official is a little freer, but you can't learn a lot of things. The important yamen in the imperial court must hold important positions in the capital and local areas many times before they are entrusted with important tasks, which is the reason. As for Lu Xianggong, hmph, when the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian was in the court, he was the prime minister and made every effort to ensure the smooth pro-government of the country and his contribution to the country. But now, selfishness is too heavy, and it is not a good thing to serve the country and the people in the political hall! ”
