Chapter 347 The Prime Ministers of Political Affairs Hall

After the return of the Tang Dynasty to the north, Wang Pu used his merits as an envoy, coupled with his previous admonitions to He Gong, Wang Pu was worshiped as a scholar of Chongzheng Palace, and served in Shizhong.

Although in fact there is not much difference from being with Liu Chengyou before, but after all, he has a formal official position, and he has passed the examination after getting rid of the status of "political scholar".And in the rear hall of Chongzheng, one party has to be given a small case to handle.

As for Tao Gu, a scholar of Chongzhengdian University, he is still a member of Zhongshushe, who knows how to make edicts, and is also rewarded with money and silk. He is still a close minister of the emperor.Although Tao Gu had some indiscretions during his mission to Southern Tang, Liu Chengyou didn't care too much about it.

At least the task of his envoy was done very well. No matter how many problems Tao Gu had with his personal conduct, Liu Chengyou had always felt that this person was easy to use. He didn't expect him to be loyal to him. As long as he was useful, he could create value. It will be enough.

What's more, Liu Chengyou was really thinking about whether to promote Tao Gu, but he was just a little hesitant, not for other reasons, but who to change.

Since Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, during Liu Chengyou's inadvertent adjustments, the Great Han Dynasty Hall has formed a situation where seven governors stand side by side, in charge of the affairs of the six divisions and temple supervisors. After years of running-in, it has become a default political pattern, and it has gradually become a custom.

In terms of dividing the military power and controlling the army, Liu Chengyou was as cautious as peeling off cocoons. After two years of hard work, he made some achievements in suppressing the rebellion to build the king's prestige, and to win the hearts of the people by showing kindness.As for the right to divide the phase, he didn't spend too much thought. At the beginning, he only thought about cutting Yang Bin's power, but in the end, he focused on the check and balance of power and got on the right track.

Now the seven prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, Su Yugui, Feng Dao, Li Tao, Zhao Ying, and Fan Zhi, were formed through Liu Chengyou's continuous adjustment according to the time and situation.

In the beginning, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty had the power to govern the country, and Liu Chengyou was deeply afraid of it.First divide the power of Yang Bin, and then take down Su Fengji, who acted arbitrarily, and make up for Zhao Ying, the former prime minister, and use Feng Dao and others to check and balance Yang, Wang, and Su.

Later, it was discovered that Dou Zhengu, Li Tao, and Zhao Ying showed signs of converging with the party. When they dealt with the emperor's uncle Liu Xin in Xuzhou this year, they left him in Xuzhou to handle the follow-up affairs. Take Fan Zhi, a confidant minister, as the Prime Minister.

As a result, the power of Zhengshitang has become more blurred from the originally clear "two parties".Among the old ministers, although the old fox has high prestige and has the effect of soothing people's hearts, he thinks about himself in everything, and although he uses it smoothly, he is always a bit weak for the enterprising Liu Chengyou. "Lubricant".

Li Tao has quite a lot of experience in politics, he has some ability to handle affairs, and he also has certain insights, but his structure is not high, his mind is not big, and his selfishness is a little bit too selfish, so he can barely use it.

Zhao Ying, the prime minister of the former dynasty, was talented and virtuous, mature and prudent, not showing any signs of expression, but an official, and he seemed relatively reserved on weekdays.Without the trust of Liu Chengyou, it is more like a mascot for the courtiers of the former court.After all, the legacy of the late Jin Dynasty received is relatively rich, and there are many talents, so it needs to be carefully managed.

Among Long Kaiguo's ministers, Su Yugui, although he is a scribe, has limited talent and lack of moral integrity, so he was able to occupy the position because he was lucky to follow the right person.But this person is smart because he is aware of current affairs, and he also seems to have a sense of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.The current role in the Great Han Dynasty Hall, um, is actually not very important. Basically, it is just leading Liu Chengyou to raise scholars in the two courtyards, three halls and other halls of the Imperial Academy, compiling books and writing history.

Needless to say, Yang Bin and Wang Zhang.

Yang Bin was always wary of Liu Chengyou, and so was Liu Chengyou. He always had malicious intentions, but he restrained himself. Yang Bin was still very effective in governing politics, suppressing courts, fighting crimes, and tracking down corrupt officials.But no matter how great the role is, failing to serve the monarch wholeheartedly is always a way to bring disaster.Although Liu Chengyou has enough patience, how long can he endure it?
Wang Zhang mentioned many times before that this person's ability is not top-notch, he is only a talent in the state and county, but he is decisive in his work, tough in style, firm in will, and has a public heart. In the critical period when the world is in chaos, such a person controls the big man finances, and doing pretty well.

Although some methods are too harsh, but hard work, the result is very effective.

How can it be easy to keep it running with the tight financial situation of the big man.It was precisely because of seeing these things that Liu Chengyou slowly let go of his suspicion.

At least in the early days, because of his fellowship with Yang Bin and their close acquaintance, Liu Chengyou labeled him as a party, and he was extremely vigilant.However, later, due to changes in the court and Liu Chengyou's actions, the relationship between Wang Zhang and Yang Bin gradually became estranged, and gradually drifted apart in terms of political views.So right now, although Yang Bin is still the chief assistant, in Liu Chengyou's mind, Wang Zhang's role is the most important.

The last one is Fan Zhi. There is no need to mention his talent and learning. He is old enough, experienced enough, and has merit. The most important thing is that he is the real "imperial party" in the political affairs hall. Yu single-handedly found out.

From the heart of Liu Chengyou, it is obvious that he is not satisfied with the ministers in the political affairs hall.Not to mention other things, at least you have to replace it with an imperial party, and it is considered "normal" in the Zaitang.

That's why Liu Chengyou thought of Tao Gu.Personal conduct is really not a flaw in politics. Although it can be used as an excuse for political opponents to attack, it must be effective.Regarding the situation in the Zhengshitang, Liu Chengyou has been thinking about it from time to time recently. Write down seven names on paper, delete or delete them. No matter how you reduce them, there are only three names left, Su Yugui, Zhao Ying, and Yang Bin!
Taking some time off from his busy schedule, Liu Chengyou paid attention to the situation in the south.A report from Ma Xiguang, the king of Chu in Hunan, said that on the eighteenth of last month, he had defeated his brother Ma Xie's Langzhou rebels.

After reading it confidently, Liu Chengyou expressed his emotion in a sober tone of an outsider: "This two-horse struggle is really endless!"

Wang Pu waited below, listened to his emotion, and pointed out softly: "Your Majesty, there should be three horses competing for the slot, and if you count Ma Xisheng and Ma Xifan, it will be five horses!"

"Oh? Qiwu also knows something about the situation in Hunan?" Liu Chengyou became interested and looked at Wang Pu.

"The envoy of Ma Xiguang, king of Chu, I talked with him and combined anecdotes, so I got something!" Wang Pu replied.

Liu Chengyou said "um", his sitting posture became more stable, and he glanced at him.

The hidden meaning in Liu Chengyou's eyes is obvious, which is to signal Wang Pu to elaborate on his views.

Wang Pu was not pretentious, and gave a little courtesy, and then calmly narrated: "Ma Yin, the king of Chu, had more than [-] sons. In his later years, the second son Ma Xisheng was in power, and the eldest son was cowardly. It is inevitable that after his death, the same room fought against each other, and all the sons killed each other. , vying for the throne, so he left a will, Ma Chu's power is passed on, brother after brother, brother finally brother and "
