Li Qi
Li Qi served as prime minister in the Later Liang Zhu Youzhen Dynasty, which has been introduced in the previous article. Li Qi, who has been an official in the Tang Dynasty for generations, has quick thinking, outstanding literary talent, and is good at poetry and rhymes. At the age of 13, he was known to Prime Minister Wang Duo. At that time, Wang Duo suspected that the doll was a gunman. One day, he was summoned alone and given a composition called "Ode to Three Heroes by the Ancestor of the Han Dynasty". Li Qi completed the composition without thinking, and Wang Duo was horrified.
15-year-old Ding's mother is worried, burning chaff and lighting firewood, working extremely hard.
When I was 18 years old, I paid a visit to literary great V Li Ding with a volume of works in my arms. After Li Ding read it, he fell down to greet him.
During Zhu Youzhen's period, he was ordered to compile "Records of Liang Taizu". Some of the stories about Zhu Wen we know today were written by Li Qi.
However, Li Qi also has a small problem, that is, he is a little free and easy, informal, and has the style of a great poet and writer. The writing of official documents is also very different from poetry and poetry. The requirements for official documents are strict and do not allow "flying down three thousand feet". Later, it was because of Li Qi's informality that his political opponents took advantage of him and made a fuss out of a molehill to get rid of him.
Another small flaw is that although he has a free and easy personality, he is still a philistine and has not really escaped from low-level taste. He once abused his power and directly promoted one of his cronies from an acting probationary officer to a full-time official, that is, "changed a photograph to a guard". He was dismissed as prime minister because of this, and was almost sent to Hainan Island in Guangdong, Guangdong and Guangxi by Zhu Youzhen. Fortunately, he had bribed the "Foreign Relatives Gang" before, and under the operation of the "Foreign Relatives Gang", he was only punished as the crown prince's minor security guard.
Li Cunxu had heard of his name for a long time and promoted him to Taichang Qing and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
When Li Cunxu was about to be defeated (in the third year of Tongguang), he ordered the civil and military ministers to offer their advice and strategies to tide over the difficulties. Comrade Li Qi is worthy of being a literary master and a great poet and poet, who has written thousands of words eloquently. Like many knowledgeable scholars, they talked about the first three empresses and five emperors, Pangu created the world, Nuwa mended the sky and created humans...he talked about it for a long time, and it was nothing more than four words - "live within your means".
The other ministers either despised him for being corrupt, ridiculed him for showing off, or were jealous of his talent. Only the uneducated Li Cunxu was frightened by his fancy tricks and embroidered legs.
After Li Siyuan came to power and Douluge and Wei Shuo were demoted, Ren Wan recommended Li Qi as prime minister. An Chongjie, Kong Xun and Zheng Jue firmly opposed it and nominated Cui Xie. In the end, Cui Xie won.
Why did An Chongjie oppose Li Qi? There are two reasons. First, Li Qi was nominated by Ren Wan. This point is very important. What you support is what I oppose, which is brainless DISS. Second, Li Qi just provoked An Zhongjie.
Not long ago, a palace attendant named Ma Yan accidentally collided with An Zhongjie's motorcade. An Zhongjie was very angry and said, "Don't you have eyes?" He actually beheaded Ma Yan on the spot and reported it to Li Siyuan.
Before him, there was a sergeant named Sang Hongqian who beat up the guard who was recording events in Xiangzhou; there was a small officer named An Qian who accidentally collided with the prime minister's motorcade. The verdict of these two cases was that Sang Hongqian was executed, while An Qian was only beaten a few times.
According to the practice of "citing" in judicial proceedings, this Ma Yan should just slap a few boards as a warning. However, An Zhongjie beheaded him on the spot, and he beheaded him first and then played.
As a censor, Li Qi thought that this matter was quite inappropriate, but he hesitated and did not dare to impeachment rashly. If you speak out righteously, you will fear the power of An Zhongjia; if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you will fear the criticism of scholars.
So, Li Qi thought of a safe way, thinking that he was tactful and sophisticated: he first asked Prime Minister Ren Wan to greet An Chonghui, "Brother, I'm sorry, I am a public official, it would be inappropriate not to say a few words... I I’ll give you a copy tomorrow. I mean it, but don’t take it personally. Please cooperate with me. I’m sorry to offend you. Thank you for your cooperation!”
This move is exactly what An Zhongjiao wants, just to let you know who is the boss in the court!
The next day, Li Qi solemnly criticized An Chongjie. After An Chongjie's appeal, the court's final decision was to issue an edict to severely reprimand Ma Yan for his blind behavior and his rebellious conduct against high-ranking imperial officials, and called on the country to follow suit. As a warning!
An Chongjie glanced proudly and ferociously at all the civil and military officials. All civil and military officials in the court bowed their heads and remained silent, not daring to look at him.
Impeaching An Zhongjie for being good at killing Ma Yan, Li Qi slightly offended An Zhongjie, and saw the huge energy contained in An Zhongjie.
Later, Li Qi resigned on the grounds of old age and frailty. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he couldn't afford to hide.
Once you are a "party member of Ren Wan", you will be a "member of Ren Wan Party" all your life. Li Qi also has no safe zone.
When the imperial court was trying to quell the rebellion in the capital of Dingzhou, Li Qi's memorial to congratulate him included the sentence "Defeat the evil Khitan party and destroy the counter-city of Zhending". Li Qi obviously got the geography wrong. Zhending is in Zhenzhou, the county where the Zhenzhou government office is located. , instead of Dingzhou, and "Zhending Zhicheng" obviously fired a map cannon, which immediately angered Li Siyuan, and immediately issued an edict: "The Khitan is a vicious party, and Zhending is not Zhicheng. Li Qi punished One month’s salary!”
Soon after, the founding father Huo Yanwei passed away, and Li Qi was ordered to write the "Huo Yanwei Shinto Stele". When briefly describing Huo Yanwei's resume, he did not add the word "pseudo" before his official position in Houliang. Political opponents took this matter to the forefront. When it became a matter of political stance, Li Qi refused to take action.
If someone holds a magnifying glass to supervise a person, nitpicking and taking quotes out of context, he will always be able to find some inappropriate remarks in his few words, and then they will be made a fuss about and labeled with various big names. This life is extremely painful.
Not long after, Li Qi died of illness at the age of 60.
Cui Xie
Cui Xie was born into a prominent family, the Cui family in Qinghe. His father is Cui Yanrong, who was very close to Cui Yanrong. When Cui Yanrong was the magistrate of Wannian County, Cui Yanrong came to pay a visit and accidentally saw the letter on the table bribing powerful people, so Cui Yanrong finally saw clearly his true nature. Face to face, the two parted ways.
Later, Cui Yanrong entered the central government and was promoted to Minister Si Xunzhong, while Cui Yan was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng. Cui Yanrong went to pay homage, but Cui Xun refused to meet him, and even exposed Cui Yanrong's dark history. The prime minister found out about it, so he demoted Cui Yanrong from the court and made him the governor of Chuzhou. He eventually died in his post as governor of Chuzhou. Never got promotion in his life.
Cui Yanrong hated Cui Xun so much that before he died, he warned his descendants: "Eternity generations of our family and descendants will remember Cui Xun's great hatred for me!"
As Cui Yanrong's son, Cui Xie firmly remembers this feud. When he was in Houliang, Cui Xieguan became the minister of the Ministry of War. One day, I met Cui Jujian, the son of Cui Xing, who was from Zhongshushe, in the office. He cursed Cui Jujian regardless of the occasion and status. Society, you Cui Jujian, also stared at you and scolded you. Both were demoted as a result.
Soon after, Cui Xie was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs again. After Li Cunxu founded the country, he worshiped him as Yushi Zhongcheng.
