Two days later.
An edict was sent from the ban to the political affairs hall.
Emperor Zhenzong's civilized Zhangsheng Yuanxiao, Shaolong Jingye, tamed to peace, and his sage achievements are more sincere than those of ancient times. He is the loyal and virtuous left, and also praises Dayou...
Wang Dan, the Taiwei, the Grand Master, and the Minister, have been practicing as Taishu for twenty years. They have praised the theory of killing troops, established unparalleled rituals, and used discipline. .
Zhongwu Army Jiedu Envoy, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and Zhongshu Ling Li Jilong, the gate of the old honors, conquered the former martyr, Shen Yi is brave, has a good plan, and is lucky to be in Chanyuan, and he is the commander-in-chief of the army. The power defeats the enemy, and the meritorious service is outstanding.
It is also appropriate to set up the courtyard of the big house, to enjoy the enjoyment of the great family, to hope that the emperor will be prosperous and powerful, and to agree to the old chapter, and to be worthy of enjoying the temple court of the Zhenzong emperor. 】
When Wang Zeng saw the edict, he instantly understood why his late father-in-law was not nominated.
If you don't want others to know, don't do it unless you do it yourself.
His behavior in the past few days must have been known to the people in the palace, so that his father-in-law was implicated and lost his position as concubine.
Thinking of this, Wang Zeng suddenly felt ashamed.
During the period when my father-in-law was in charge of Xiangyin, the country was in great prosperity. He burned the imperial edict of concubines and blocked the selfishness of the people. He invited the people of Lingzhou to move to seize Xixia. He was worthy of the title of prime minister!
Moreover, his father-in-law was still a former official of Zhenzong.
If there are no accidents, he will definitely be worthy of the honor due to his father-in-law's merits.
In the end, because of him, he lost the opportunity to leave his name in history.
a long time.
Wang Zeng sighed, and then he made a decision, an extremely important decision.
The next day.
Wang Zeng's edict to remove his prime minister was submitted to the ban.
Although the reason for his request was that he was ill, it was clearly an excuse. He had been fine for the past two days, so how could he suddenly become seriously ill?
Therefore, this request to resign as prime minister is just a protest to serve the imperial edict.
Of course, Wang Zeng did have this intention, but this was not the most important thing. He asked to resign, more because he felt frustrated.
The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Although Li Hang was not Wang Zeng's father, as Li Hang's son-in-law, he personally ruined his father-in-law's opportunity to serve in the temple.
Wang Zeng could not forgive himself for this.
Asking to be dismissed as prime minister was both a protest and a punishment for himself.
Bao Ci Hall.
After Liu E saw Wang Zeng's memorial, she returned it intact without saying a word.
This time, she did not discuss it with Li Jie.
After the New Year, this was also the first time Liu E bypassed Li Jie and handled government affairs alone.
Even though she had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Zeng, she didn't go to the extent of deposing Wang Zeng.
No matter what, Wang Zeng is indeed a direct minister, and the court needs such a person.
If Wang Zeng falls, who can check and balance Ding Wei?
Just rely on Lu Yijian?
I'm afraid that's not possible. After all, Lu Yijian's qualifications are still insufficient.
Now, it has been less than a year since Lu Yijian was transferred to politics. Even though he is capable, he cannot be promoted again.
Lu Yijian cannot be promoted for the time being, and another political candidate named Zhongzheng cannot be promoted either.
Ren Zhong is a member of Ding Wei's family. What's the difference between promoting him and letting Ding Wei serve as the independent prime minister?
….
No!
Of course, there are examples of independent prime ministers in the dynasty. For example, from 997, the third year of Zhidao, to 998, the first year of Xianping, only Lu Duan was in charge of the prime minister.
For another example, in 1000, the third year of Xianping, Zhang Qixian resigned as prime minister. At that time, Li Hang became the only remaining prime minister in Zhongshu.
An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended it to me! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]
But both examples have one thing in common, they served as prime minister alone for a short time.
Lu Duan's time is a little longer, probably
There was more than a year, but Li Hang's time as prime minister alone was very short, only four months.
In addition, Lu Duan and Li Hang also asked to be dismissed.
The civil servants knew very well what kind of virtues the monarchs of Zhao and Song Dynasties had. The power of being in charge of Xiangyin alone was indeed powerful enough.
It is true that one person is inferior to ten thousand people!
But correspondingly, the risks are also high. Never doubt the emperor's suspicion.
And the next day.
Seeing that the memorial was beaten back, Wang Zeng once again petitioned to dismiss the prime minister.
After repeating this three times, Liu E finally agreed to Wang Zeng's dismissal as prime minister and changed him to an educated youth prefecture.
Not only that, Liu E also gave Wang Zeng the title of "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Personnel".
Qingzhou is Wang Zeng's hometown. For him to go back with the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it can be regarded as an honorable return to his hometown.
It is of course a big event for the prime minister to ask for his resignation and go out to know the place.
There was endless discussion about this matter both inside and outside the government.
If we were to say who was the most miserable, it would probably be impossible to compare, but if we were to say who was the happiest, it would definitely be Lei Yungong.
A few days ago, he was still worried about how to send Wang Zeng away.
As a result, Wang Zeng himself fell down before he could do anything!
Although he had no merit in the matter of Wang Zeng's resignation as prime minister, he would certainly not have to do so again in the future.
Therefore, this wave is a gift from heaven!
How could you not be happy?
Funing Hall.
Li Jie was indeed a little surprised when Wang Zeng asked himself to resign as prime minister.
He was originally thinking of finding an excuse, but now it's good that he doesn't have to find any excuses anymore. Wang Zeng asked himself to resign.
In fact, the main reason why Li Jie kicked Li Hang out of the list of deserving heroes was not to beat him. It was just incidental and an excuse for Liu E.
Li Hang is from the abandonment faction, which is the real reason.
Li Jie had no favorable impression at all of this type of abandonment and surrender faction.
As Li Hang's son-in-law and Wang Dan's successor, Wang Zeng's political style also tends to be conservative. Therefore, based on this alone, it is difficult for Wang Zeng to be reused by Li Jie.
Similarly, Lu Yijian is also one of the conservatives.
However, this conservatism requires a qualifier.
flexible!
Lu Yijian is a flexible conservative. He is well aware of his superiors' intentions and is very clear about the choices made by his superiors. He will choose whatever the superiors like.
In a sense, Lu Yijian and Ding Wei are the same type of people, masters of power manipulation and obsessed with power.
Of course, Lu Yi Jian was more bottom-lined and more principled than Ding Wei.
This point is actually related to their origins. When Lu Yijian became an official, the Lu family had become a famous family in the world.
As for Ding Wei, his background was a little different and he was from the small landlord class, so he couldn't be compared with Lu Yijian at all.
Therefore, in order to climb up, Ding Wei's bottom line will naturally be much lower. Only by unscrupulous means can he get to where he is today from a poor family.
…
…
…
Dingwangfu.
"Ha ha!"
In the Nuan Pavilion in the backyard, upon hearing the news about Wang Zeng's departure, the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan first clapped his hands and laughed, then drank some wine and hummed a tune.
Good thing!
Well done Wang Zeng!
Zhao Yuanyan was happy, not because he had any conflicts with Wang Zeng, but because he felt that forcing a prime minister to leave was indeed something worth celebrating.
The prime minister of the current dynasty was forced to ask for his resignation!
What does this mean?
The situation is dark!
This time, public opinion may be even more turbulent.
I like the great salvation of all heavens and worlds
