Later, Wang Jun resorted to an equally superficial move - resigning to demonstrate to Guo Wei. Wang Jun submitted his resignation several times, saying that he was in poor health and unable to perform his duties, and requested to retire and return to his hometown.
Guo Wei sent an envoy to comfort and comfort him, saying that the people cannot do without you, the court cannot do without you, and I cannot do without you. Please continue to suffer and serve the people.
Beating the dog to see if it was the owner, Wang Jun had an extremely bad attitude towards Guo Wei's envoy, using foul language and vomiting sweet things. At the same time, he also privately contacted the princes of various vassals and towns, asking them to persuade them to stay, and told Guo Wei in their own words that Comrade Wang Jun was completely Can handle more, bigger and heavier tasks.
Mobilizing the masses and following the mass line is tantamount to forcing the emperor to go to the palace.
People from various vassal towns all over the country flew into the court like snowflakes, which really shocked Guo Wei. He never expected that Wang Jun had such a high reputation and had so many fans!
If you don't seek death, you won't die. Wang Jun seems to be demonstrating to the emperor, but in fact he is digging his own grave. Your achievements are so great that the emperor dares to keep you?
Guo Wei sent an envoy to comfort you again, saying that if you don't come over, I will go to your home to invite you in person.
Wang Jun still refused, "No!"
Guo Wei found Chen Guan and asked him to persuade him.
Chen Guan was Wang Jun's old friend for many years and the prime minister whom Wang Jun wanted to promote. Chen Guan knew Wang Jun very well and knew that this boy liked to use sugar to make jealousy. He would eat hard food but not soft food. To use a common saying, he would not eat good food. He was not as polite as other envoys, but gave a solemn warning to Wang Jun: "The emperor will come to pick you up in person soon. You are so arrogant! What do you want to do? How many heads do you have!"
Wang Jun was scolded and suddenly realized that he went to the palace to express his recovery.
Guo Wei ordered him to resume work.
Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, this is Wang Jun's skill.
After Wang Jun made such a fuss, Prime Minister Li Hub was frightened. He knew the dangers in the political field and did not want to get involved in political struggles. It happened that one day when he was at work, Li Hub accidentally fell and injured his right arm. , so I took a month’s sick leave.
Guo Wei repeatedly sent people to urge him, saying that the imperial court had many official duties and asked Comrade Li Hu to work despite his injuries. How serious can a broken arm be?
Li Hub replied that although the injury did not affect my work too much, it still prevented me from kneeling and kowtow. I was rude to you. How could I pay it off? As soon as I can kneel down and kowtow, I can go to work.
Guo Wei ordered: Comrade Li Hub does not need to come to the Golden Palace to see the king and salute him, as long as he works in his office.
After one month of sick leave expired, Li Hub still refused to return to work, so he simply missed work, arrived late and left early... Anyway, he was not on free wages. After a hundred days of broken bones, Li Hub delayed it for three months. During this period, he submitted his resignation three times, saying that his injuries had not healed and he could not perform his duties, so he begged for his body.
Guo Wei sent an envoy to comfort him, saying that the work you are responsible for is very important and cannot be replaced by others. Does it mean that you should not be prime minister just because you cannot kowtow? At the same time, Li Hu was ordered to go to the Bian Dian (he must kowtow and salute in the Golden Palace, but the Bian Dian is exempted from the ceremony) to see Guo Wei and explain the reasons for his resignation face to face.
Li Hub came to see Guo Wei reluctantly, saying that he was old and frail, and suffered a serious fall, so he could not kneel down...
Guo Wei said that you don’t have to kneel from now on, you must come to work!
Li Hub also said that he could not pick up a pen to write, so he could not work...
Guo Wei said that you are allowed to use a seal instead of a signature.
Really unable to make up an excuse, Li Hub resumed his work.
Among all the people who were regarded as direct descendants by Guo Wei and received key training, the one who was targeted by Wang Jun was Chai Rong, because Chai Rong was almost the default heir to the throne.
When Guo Wei had almost settled the affairs in Bianzhou, Chai Rong requested to go to Beijing for a pilgrimage. However, Wang Jun was worried that his power would be divided by Chai Rong, so he tried his best to obstruct it, and Chai Rong stayed in Chanzhou, working with Chai Rong. Bianzhou faces each other across the river, and the water is full of water, and the pulse is speechless.
When Murong Yanchao rebelled in Yanzhou, Chai Rong took the initiative to ask for help.
Guo Wei praised Chai Rong vigorously and wanted Chai Rong to take command and go on an expedition to establish military merits, brush up his qualifications, and train him to be a qualified successor to the empire.
However, Wang Jun interfered again and promoted Chai Rong to death, saying that the threat from the Khitan in the north was far greater than the small Yanzhou, and Comrade Chai Rong should continue to be in charge of Chanzhou. At the same time, Wang Jun also took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to lead the expedition.
In the end, Guo Wei sent Cao Wei and others to take charge.
Cao Wei's eastward expedition to Yanzhou was fruitless for several months, so Guo Wei said he wanted to lead the expedition himself. Prime Minister Feng Dao and others jointly tried to dissuade him, saying that it was midsummer and your Majesty had better not travel far.
Guo Wei then borrowed the donkey from the slope and said that what you said makes sense, but the bandits must also be eliminated. Since Cao Wei and others have limited abilities, another brave and resourceful general, such as Comrade Chai Rong, should be sent there. Help out.
Wang Jun continued to obstruct, and took the initiative to ask for help again, saying that no matter from the perspective of actual combat experience or the reputation of commanding the army, I can crush Chai Rong. If His Majesty wants to send more powerful reinforcements, then I am sure Do your part, let me go.
"Well... I'm tired of my love, having been marching here and there..."
"Serve the people without fear of hardship or fatigue."
"Then..." Guo Wei decided to go on a personal expedition. Wang Jun also followed the army.
On the Yanzhou battlefield, Wang Jun's troops took the lead in conquering the South Gate and achieved their first success. Wang Jun became even more arrogant.
Guo Wei personally conquered Yanzhou and was already very worried about his authority. Wang Jun's influence and the energy he contained were enough to make Guo Wei restless.
In the twelfth lunar month of that year, the Yellow River burst again between Zhengzhou and Huazhou. Guo Wei expressed concern, so Wang Jun volunteered to inspect the disaster, and Guo Wei readily agreed.
Just when Wang Jun went to the local area to improve his reputation, he received news: Chai Rong requested to go to Beijing to report on his duties and perform pilgrimage, and Guo Wei approved it.
Wang Jun slapped his forehead and said, "I've been fooled!" Then he hurried back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, Wang Jun proposed that he should also serve as Qingzhou Jiedushi, and Guo Wei had to meet his request.
Then Wang Jun wanted to borrow money again, borrowing 10,000 pieces of silk from the treasury.
Guo Wei still agreed.
As Wang Jun became more and more arrogant, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers became more and more tense.
Wang Jun built an office building in the Privy Council, which was tall, grand, luxurious and extravagant. When it was completed, he invited Guo Wei to visit. After Guo Wei saw it, he was very unhappy, but on the surface he still wanted to praise him a few words, and then gave him a generous reward.
A few days later, Guo Wei also built a small palace on the open space of the palace. Both the area and the degree of decoration were far less than Wang Jun's building.
Wang Jun didn't know that this was a trap deliberately set by Guo Wei, and he acted like an outspoken official, criticizing and educating Guo Wei, saying: "There are already so many houses in the palace, why build this?"
Guo Wei took his time and said, "There are quite a few houses in the Privy Council, so why do you want to build another one?"
Wang Jun was speechless.
