May 5th.
Liu Jun is still packing his bags and preparing to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi to take up his post.
On this day, a new appointment suddenly came from the ban.
In addition to Liu Ye, a bachelor of Longtuge, he was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng.
As soon as this appointment came out, Wang Qinruo was dumbfounded.
Who doesn’t know that Liu Jun and Liu Ye are good friends?
Liu Yun had just been eliminated, and before he had time to operate, the officials changed hands and appointed Liu Ye as the new Yushi Zhongcheng?
Like this, what else is he busy with?
To overthrow Liu Jun was to cooperate with Zhang and establish his authority, but the most important purpose was to put one of his own people in power.
Today, the first two items have indeed been achieved, but the last, crucial item has been aborted.
Going back and forth, this is equivalent to working in vain and messing around.
For a moment, Wang Qinruo couldn't turn around.
The official's operation was too coquettish, and he couldn't be sure at all.
At present, the appointment has been issued. Although the official letter has not yet been sealed, the matter is almost a foregone conclusion.
After all, the official family has the power to directly promote Yushi Zhongcheng.
In terms of process, compliance.
As for Liu Ye's personal qualifications, that is even more appropriate.
As early as the Tianxi period, Liu Ye had already served as an official, and he also had the power to dispatch Kaifeng officials, so his qualifications were completely sufficient.
In short, no one can fault this appointment.
In fact, Wang Qinruo was not the only one who was dumbfounded, Xie Tao was also dumbfounded.
In the past few days, Xie Tao has been thinking about whether he can rise to the top.
It's a good thing now, the errand has gone to waste.
Liu Ye's qualifications were not much worse than his. Even if Xie Tao entered the official position earlier than Liu Ye, it does not mean that he would be in a high position if he entered the official position earlier.
In terms of Yan Guan's qualifications alone, Liu Ye is older than him.
the other side.
Compared to Wang Qinruo and Xie Tao, Ding Wei's reaction was much calmer.
Although Wang Qinruo had not discussed it with him, he had guessed Wang Qinruo's intention to impeach Liu Jun.
It's just for the speaker's right to speak.
Yan Guan has always been an extremely useful sharp blade.
What is the best way to attack dissidents?
It's official impeachment!
No one, not even the prime minister, will gain anything if they are collectively targeted by the officials.
Therefore, the position of Yanguan is also the most fiercely contested place among various factions.
However, Ding Wei was different from Wang Qinruo. As for the official quota, he only needed a few from his own line.
If there are too many, one or two is not impossible.
Ding Wei never expected that Yushitai would become his hall of speech.
Are all the officials in the court fools?
Are officials blind?
Officials must know that there are some things that can be done, some things that cannot be done, and some things that are absolutely forbidden.
If you control the Yushitai, it is a restricted area among restricted areas!
Why did the three sages Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong repeatedly restrict the Prime Minister and his assistants from getting involved in Yushitai?
Isn’t it because we are afraid that the story of the Tang Dynasty will repeat itself?
Of course, although Ding Wei guessed that Wang Qinruo's plan would fail, he did not expect that the official family would let Liu Ye succeed him as Yushi Zhongcheng.
】
In his view, the official's promotion of Liu Ye was obvious.
Obviously, this is a knock on Xie Tao and Wang Qinruo.
If Wang Qinruo doesn't know what's going on, this guy will probably step down at the speed of light.
Isn’t it true that there are no prime ministers with a term of several months?
Others deserve it, why can't you, Wang Qinruo?
Just because you have one more gall on your neck than other people?
(Gall: a tumor on the neck. Wang Qinruo has one on his neck. This is also the origin of his nickname "Gall")
Thinking of this, Ding Wei couldn't help but laugh.
He is happy.
At first, when Wang Qinruo returned to the court to pay homage to the prime minister again, he felt threatened. He thought Wang Qinruo was here to replace him.
Afterwards, Wang Qinruo, who had just taken office, gave everyone a warning.
He directly overthrew Liu Yun, the censor Zhongcheng.
However, now it seems that it is almost certain that Liu Yun's outing of the place must be the official's own intention.
When Liu Jun was out of town, Wang Qinruo had nothing to do with him.
Everything Wang Qinruo did before was just a fool's errand. Even if he hadn't impeached him, Liu Jun would have gone out of his way after a while.
'The imperial scheming of the officials has become more and more proficient. '
The demotion of Liu Jun this time was really like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace at all.
In advance, no one knew what the officials were thinking.
It was only after the fact that I realized what happened.
However, whether the official's skills are powerful or not is not Ding Wei's biggest concern.
He is just a minister, and he cannot and cannot worry about the emperor's affairs.
On the other hand, Ding Wei understood Wang Qinruo's side.
At this time, Wang Qinruo was already blinded by the desire for power.
This guy is nothing to be afraid of.
It seems that his "no (lying) for (flat)" prime minister can continue to be the prime minister.
…
…
…
Liu Zhai.
"Ziyi, this matter...this matter..."
As soon as he received the appointment from the court, Liu Ye rushed to Liu Yun's home and planned to apologize to him in person.
He never expected that he would take over his friend's previous assignment.
Although Yushi Zhongcheng is not as important as the ministers of the two governments, the criticality of this position is not inferior to the important positions of the two governments.
In addition, Liu Ye also made a decision before arriving.
He was prepared to go directly to Shu and refused to take over this assignment.
As the saying goes, a true friend is rare in life, and a true friend is the hardest to find throughout the ages.
Liu Ye didn't want this to affect their friendship, even though he knew Liu Yun wouldn't care.
But he cares!
"Yaoqing."
Seeing that his friend looked embarrassed, Liu Jun smiled slightly and said indifferently.
"This matter has nothing to do with you and me."
"Both of you and I know that it is the official family who promoted Yushi Zhongcheng. In other words, it is the official family's intention to appoint you as the Yushi Zhongcheng."
"Besides, if you are in charge of the Yushitai, it is better than others, right?"
"You have also seen the current situation in the DPRK."
"You and I know very well what Wang Dingguo (Qinruo) is doing. With you keeping an eye on him, I feel at ease."
"well."
Hearing these words, Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
In this matter, he indeed made a mistake.
For the first time, he only thought about the friendship between the two, but forgot about state affairs.
Deserve punishment!
As for how to punish?
At this time, treacherous ministers were in power and the situation was gloomy.
Eliminating traitors for the country is naturally the best reward!
Only by getting rid of the traitors can the world be restored to a peaceful world!
"Yao Qing, after you take charge of the Yushitai, there is one thing you need to pay attention to."
As he spoke, Liu Jun's expression suddenly became serious.
Seeing his friend take things so seriously, Liu Ye quickly cheered up.
"What's the matter?"
"If you have the chance, you can try to think of a way to bring Cai Zisi (Cai Qi) back."
"Of course, if the time is not right, you can wait."
Cai Zisi?
Upon hearing this name, Liu Ye instantly thought of this person.
The Taiwei was so angry that this incident alone was enough for Cai Qi to leave his name in history.
(ps: Liu Mei’s death was not made by Cai Qi in history. As mentioned earlier, Liu Mei’s death was postponed for a little longer to fit in with the plot)
