Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 825: Clean and Competent Officials!

Li Tai's "running away" is not something to be surprised about. Even if he didn't "injure himself", sooner or later he would have to find other excuses to push it away. Li Chengqian didn't need to say this, the emperor probably already had mental preparations .

Because the policy of relocating narrow villages to wide ones is beneficial to the court and the people, and has no interest in him, King Wei. He has no need to offend noble gentry for the sake of the general trend, let alone add to the icing on the cake for the East Palace. This is Li Tai, a refined self-interested The way of doing things that the Christians follow.

Chang'an is located in the center of Guanzhong. It is very convenient for the imperial court to implement any policy here. Whether it is good or bad, it can be controlled at the first time, and it is easy to adjust in time, so as to prevent people with ulterior motives from profiting and harming the people. Therefore, narrow township After the policy of moving to Kuan Township was agreed upon, the governments in the Guanzhong area followed the law after receiving the decree.

As for local officials from other provinces, the imperial court will summon them to Beijing to report on their duties, and discuss how to implement the policy of moving narrow townships to wide townships in light of local actual conditions. After all, local differences and situations are different. It is simply impossible to achieve complete agreement.

Of course, they are not the only ones who come to Beijing to report on their duties, there are also those officials who have performed well in the states that have already been activated. Changsun Wuji and Tang Jian are responsible for meeting them. , as a reward for their loyalty to the king; secondly, talk about the problems encountered in the implementation process, sum up the experience and lessons in a timely manner, and check for deficiencies.

And among these local officials who came to Beijing, there was only one very special, no, it should be said that it was a miracle, Zhao Shida, the governor of Zezhou, completed the migration within one month; He happily embarked on the road to his destination, and also got on the Wanminbiao, asking the court to order this good official who does practical things and loves the people.

What is even more surprising is that this little governor actually invited the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, to lead him to the East Palace for an audience, which surprised Li Chengqian.Li Jing is not such an easy-going person, it is simply impossible to let him stand out just because of his old friendship, so under the guidance of curiosity, Li Chengqian granted the request for an audience.

After Li Jing and Zhao Shida saluted in Mingde Palace, Li Chengqian smiled and stroked them to get up, and asked Heng Lian to serve some tea and snacks, then he came down from the imperial steps and sat with Li Jing.

"General, you are old and expensive. You can't even invite people here normally. It seems that Governor Zhao has a lot of face, even more face than Prince Gu!" Li Chengqian glanced at Zhao Shida with a smile. This official in a shabby robe Interesting.

As we all know, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Jing is very delicate, and it has nothing to do with the monarchs and ministers and teachers and students in name. Li Chengqian's sudden rise in the army, coupled with the emperor's deliberate cultivation, may not mean that Li Jing should be replaced.

In addition, the old ministries such as Zhang Baoxiang and Su Dingfang were taken over by the emperor for his own use, which invisibly reduced Li Jing's soft power. This is quite the intention of Cao and his son to guard against Sima Yi.

So this pair of teacher and student in name is not only opponents of check and balance, but also partners in maintaining the authority of the emperor. The intertwining among them, it is estimated that the two people involved can hardly tell the difference.

"Your Highness is scolding the old minister, but it's no wonder the old minister. There are so many people coming and going to the East Palace every day. Your Highness has already worked hard. If the old minister bothers you again, it will be against kindness." , Li Jing pointed to Zhao Shida again: "But for Shida, the old minister has to put down his old face and beg His Highness once."

In the early years of Wude, Li Jing marched eastward from King Qin, pacified Wang Shichong who was entrenched in Luoyang, and awarded Ren Kaifu with military merits. At that time, Zhao Shida served under his command.

Later, he defeated Xiao Xian, fought against Kaizhou barbarian Ran Zhao, and went down to Lingnan to attack Feng An, Li Guangdu, Ning Changzhen and other local forces. With military merits, he won the position of Zhonglang General, and once rescued Li Jingyi in the battle. Life.

In the end, he was seriously injured in the battle of Zhanfu Gongyou, so he was not suitable for continuing to serve in the army. He was transferred to Puzhou to join the army. Made some achievements.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Jing wrote a letter to recommend him as the governor of Zezhou because of his meritorious service, and he worked hard for 15 years.This time the imperial court moved the narrow township to the wide township, and Zhao Shida played super long. The first one was completed cleanly, which can not but add three points to the face of Li Jing, the old chief.

In addition to being happy for his old subordinates, Li Jing also complained for him. This governor has worked hard for 15 years, and the court has ignored him. The desire to be an official led to the matter of coming to the East Palace today.

That's right, this official has been in office for too long. According to what Li Jing said, Zhao Shida was really wronged, but this is nothing new in the officialdom; If he hadn't met Li Chengqian, he would probably be just a governor like him now.

As an official, in addition to being honest and honest, loyal to the master and background, luck is also very important sometimes. The reason why Zhao Shida couldn't get up when he was a mere governor of Xiazhou was because he didn't meet Bole who admired him , This is the case in nine out of ten officials, and it will not change just because he used to be Li Jing's old department.

"Oh, according to what the general said, Governor Zhao really has very few officials. He has been wronged in such a small place in Zezhou all these years! Governor Zhao, this time you took the lead in the matter of relocating the narrow township to the wide township. , to become a model among the assassins, so if you don't reward him, it's too unreasonable."

"The monk's face of the common people and the Buddha's face of the general are all to be seen. In this way, after finishing the finishing work of moving the narrow township to the wide township, and after the imperial court selects a successor, Governor Zhao can go to Beijing to report on his duties. Start well and end well!

Gu believes that Governor Zhao has been in Zezhou for many years, and he has feelings for the people and mountains and rivers there, doesn't he? "

After Zhao Shida kowtowed to thank him, Li Chengqian turned to Li Jing and said, "General, do you think this is appropriate?"

Hehe, "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's the good fortune of the old minister and Shida to be able to save such face from His Highness, the old minister gave you a gift."

After getting up to stop Li Jing from saluting, he exchanged pleasantries with the two of them, and the smile on Li Chengqian's face didn't disappear until after sending them out.Then he beckoned to Heng Lian again, and ordered: "Chuan the Minister of the Ministry of Officials - Tang Jian, come to the palace to discuss matters.".
