The only good prime minister in Guanzhong is Wang Meng, and all the people in the world look forward to Xie An.
On February 7, the 10th year of Taiyuan, news came from Jiankang City that Lu Shangshu Shi, Fake Huangyue, Commander-in-Chief of the Military of the Fifteen Prefectures, Taifu, and Luling County Duke Xie An died of illness on February 2. Wu Yixiang, died at the age of sixty-six. After the Emperor Jin discussed with all the officials, he posthumously awarded Xie An the title of Taibao and Prime Minister, the posthumous title Wen Jing, a set of gold silk nanmu coffins, a Jiuyou carriage, a yellow hut on the left side, and a front and rear feather drum. There are a hundred swordsmen in the Ministry and Wu Ben classes, and they also give the Duke a set of silk clothes and a set of gold silk clothes. He also gives a million dollars, a thousand pieces of cloth, silk and silk, and five hundred catties of wax. In addition, Jin Emperor Sima Changming personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay tribute to Xie An in Wuyi Lane, and buried Xie An with the etiquette of Sima Huan Wen and Prime Minister Wang Dao.
Loyalty in accepting gifts is called a text, being praised by the state is called a text, being gentle and kind to the people is called Jing, and being careful in one's position is called Jing.
Xie An was the leader of hundreds of officials and the minister in charge of the country. Jing also had the intention of pacifying the chaos. In the past two years, the Jin Dynasty had experienced the southern expedition led by Fu Jian with a million troops. Xie An, as the leader of the Jin Dynasty, defeated the invasion of Qin. The first person in the dynasty, his achievements are in the contemporary era, and his fame will be passed down for generations! I have to say that the word "Wen Jing" is a worthy evaluation of Xie An, and it is also the most appropriate posthumous title.
Along with Xie An's obituary, Xu Zongwen's transfer order arrived in Jiankang. This time, because of Xu Zongwen's meritorious service in investigating the case, the Jin Emperor specially promoted him to Huangmen Shilang, responsible for memorials to the government and the public, and the emperor's advisor.
Influenced by Xu Zongwen's transfer to Shizhong Province, Huangmen Shilang Yin Zhongkan was promoted to Shizhong in turn.
Of course, Xu Zongwen's transition to Huangmen Shilang was not without cost. His position as commander-in-chief was dismissed, and then Zhang Xuanzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was fully responsible for the dismantling and rectification of the Sixth Battalion of the Forbidden Army.
"Although the Huangmen Minister is also a fourth-rank official, he is a close minister of the emperor. Congratulations to the general for being promoted again!"
"Congratulations General!"
Xi Jian, Guo Shang and Liu Yu congratulated Xu Zongwen on his promotion.
Since ancient times, there have been many generals who won the war and returned to the court after retiring from military positions and serving as civil servants. For example, Qin general Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to attack the Huns in the north with the position of internal history, and then returned to Xianyang and resigned as generals, or the Han Taiwei Zhou Yafu After putting down the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, he returned to Chang'an and served as prime minister, but there is no example of him holding important civil and military positions at the same time.
Xu Zongwen is an exception. He is the general who conquered the north, and now he is also the minister of Huangmen. All civil and military duties are shouldered by one person. He was originally an important general guarding the frontier and now stays in Jiankang as a central minister. This is unprecedented in history. The first person!
"Jiankang is a political whirlpool. No matter it is the Wang family of Langya, the Yu family of Yingchuan, or the current Huan family of Qiaoguo, or the Xie family of Chenjun, no one can occupy the court forever. I would like to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and Pei Qing, Shen Yu, Zheng Lue, Zhuge Kan and the brothers of the Xiaoqi Army are fighting side by side! It's a pity that Jiankang is so busy with worldly affairs that we can't spare any time, and we won't be able to go back for a while." After handing over everything After doing the work, Xu Zongwen left Qiantang with his people.
After returning to Jiankang City, Xu Zongwen immediately went to visit Xie's Mansion, paid homage to Grand Tutor Xie An, and said goodbye to Xie Xuan by the way.
Just when Xu Zongwen concurrently served as the regular attendant of Sanqi, the Jiankang Dynasty Bureau also ushered in great changes due to the death of Tai Fu Xie An!
Sima Daozi, the former Shangshu Zuopushe, was promoted to the position of Lu Shangshu. The original Shangshu ordered Xie Shi to be completely ignored. Xie Xuan was also sent to Chen County to be the governor of Yuzhou. General Jianwu Liu Laozhi was ordered to garrison Xingyang City. While Xie received a strong blow, some changes also occurred in the government agencies of the five provinces in Santai. Shizhong Province was renamed Menxia Province, Yezhetai, Dushuitai, Secretary Province, and Sanqi Province were removed from the central agencies. The five provinces in Taiwan became a new pattern of three provinces in Taiwan, consisting of Yushitai, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province.
When Xie Xuanlin left, he repeatedly warned Xu Zongwen: "Zongwen, the situation in Jiankang is complicated and more dangerous than on the battlefield on the front line. You must walk on thin ice and handle things with caution. After I leave Jiankang, your situation may be even more difficult. "
"Brother Youdu is talking about Qian Tang's case of destroying embankments and flooding fields, right?" Xu Zongwen directly called Xie Xuan's cousin. Since coming to Jiankang and meeting Xie Xuan in private many times, Xu Zongwen and Xie Xuan Although Xuan and Xuan were twenty years apart, they began to treat each other as equals.
"Yes, it's good that you understand. In fact, I also know that you don't want to stay in Jiankang. The people here only speak three words when meeting each other, and there are many twists and turns in their stomachs. I don't want to stay here either, but this is I have to leave first." Xie Xuan took Xu Zongwen's hand and spoke earnestly, like an elder explaining to a younger generation how to behave, or like a heart-to-heart conversation between close friends and close friends.
Xu Zongwen was reluctant to leave and sent Xie Xuan to Changting, ten miles away from Jiankang City. When he arrived, Xie Xuan gave Xu Zongwen a copy of the Tao Te Ching and kept telling him to do nothing.
Xie Xuan meant to tell Xu Zongwen not to act rashly. Now Xie's power and status are far less than before. All forces are competing, and he does not want Xu Zongwen to be involved in political struggles.
However, Xu Zongwen did not agree with Wuwei's suggestion. Since he returned to Jiankang, he first presided over the dismantling and rectification of the 18th Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and was ordered to go to Qiantang to investigate the case of dikes and flooded fields. Now he was appointed as the Minister of Huangmen of Menxia Province. This He couldn't escape any of them, let alone the Jiankang Dynasty situation that followed Yunbo's trajectory, and it was even more difficult for him to stay out of it.
Do nothing? That is impossible. Xu Zongwen has been in the Jiankang Dynasty for a long time. From now on, he can only move forward and never take a step back!
Huanfu, another courtyard.
"Madam, it's getting late, you should go back." Xu Zongwen personally sent Huan Xianrong outside the courtyard. He leaned against the huge flower and stone at the door, watching her affectionately as she walked away.
Huan Xianrong reluctantly turned around, his eyes moving, and all his attention was on Xu Zongwen. She suddenly felt warm in her heart when she saw Xu Zongwen leaning on the flower stone with a smile on his face and his hands folded, looking extremely independent and bohemian.
In fact, it’s not bad just looking at him like this! Perhaps, the general who galloped across the battlefield and commanded thousands of troops was not who he really was. The Xu Xiao who put down everything and was honest with him was the most real...
"Yao Ji!" Huan Xianrong suddenly stopped. If she had not turned around, she might have thought it was her father Huan Yi who stopped her, but it was Xu Zongwen who suddenly ran in front of her!
"Xu Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Zongwen grabbed Huan Xianrong, who was caught off guard. When their eyes met, Xu Zongwen finally spoke slowly: "Don't I see you stopping step by step and looking back step by step, and you can't bear to leave me?"
Hearing this, Huan Xianrong's pretty face suddenly turned red!
Huan Xianrong was held in Xu Zongwen's arms, and his little head was suddenly confused!
"No way? Please don't talk nonsense, okay?" Huan Xianrong realized that she had fallen into Xu Zongwen's arms. She looked at Xu Zongwen's eyes that were brighter than the stars as he looked at her unscrupulously, and lightly opened her red lips: "Xu Zongwen Lang, when are you going to let me go?"
Xu Zongwen turned his head and coughed in embarrassment, and immediately let go of Huan Xianrong. He waited until Huan Xianrong stood firm before letting go of both hands.
"You didn't stand firm. I was worried that you would fall. If such a beautiful face bumped into something, I would feel bad!" Xu Zongwen pointed at Huan Xianrong's feet with a faint smile on his lips.
Huan Xianrong turned his head away shyly, and Xu Zongwen also raised his steps to leave. At this moment, a melodious and melodious flute sounded untimely above their heads.
"Ke Tingdi, it's "Three Plum Blossoms", it's Aye!" Huan Xianrong, who was about to leave, turned around again and said to Xu Zongwen, who was staring blankly at the night sky.
Xu Zongwen lowered his head, lowered his eyes, looked at Huan Xianrong, and let the evening wind blow his long hair that gradually spread out and became messy in the wind...
