Chapter 557 Pei Ju Resigns
Chapter 557 Pei Ju Resigns (Thanks Dao Wu for the reward)
It seemed that only Pei Ju didn't feel threatened by this appointment, at least in the eyes of most people, but Pei Ju didn't think so.
He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before Wen Daya entered the center, because they prevented him back then, no official from the Hebei Department could go one step further to become one of the six prime ministers, and no one could stop Wen Daya from becoming the servant of the household department this time.
If anyone dares to question or obstruct Wen Daya's entry into the household department, it will not only attract the attack and annihilation of Hebei officials, but also arouse the anger of King Zhao.
The other Yu Shinan was even simpler. The officials had made such a big mistake this time. It was impossible to say that King Zhao had no opinion on Wang Hong. In addition, Wang Shangzhi wanted to rule the world, and it was almost certain that he would accept the gentry from Jiangnan.
Now that both the Hebei and Jiangnan factions have entered the court, Pei Ju guessed that the next one might be the Guanzhong faction.
Compared with the three threats that emerged, Pei Ju is actually more worried about their unification.
At the time of the first emperor, the Shandong gentry was divided into two. The Pei family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family saw that King Zhao could accomplish something, and gave their full support, which in turn won a huge reward, and established their position in the Northern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.But because of the dispute over the Minister of Industry, Zheng Shan is willing to part ways with them, so far the Pei and Wang families have become the Bingzhou family.
At the same time, Zheng Shanyuan condensed officials from the Central Plains, quietly set up another hill, and became the leader of the Central Plains faction.
This is not what Pei Ju is most worried about, what he is most worried about is the situation of the six phases of Ziwei Hall.
Wei Chijiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, belonged to King Zhao.Wei Shijian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was born in Jingzhao Webster, and belonged to the Guanzhong gentry. Of course, he used to be the prefect of Zhuojun, and he could barely be regarded as the Liaodong family.Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of the Acting Household Department, was assigned to the Central Plains Department by him.
Among the remaining ministers of the Ministry of Industry Xue Ting, Shangshu Wang Hong of the Acting Ministry of Officials, including him, among the six ministers, the Bingzhou Department occupied half of the seats.
This kind of situation, not only the king does not want to see it, I am afraid that the officials are also unwilling to see it.In the past, there were only Bingzhou, Hebei, and Liaodong in the Northern Jin Dynasty. This kind of power framework could barely support it, but with the pacification of Guanzhong, this situation could no longer be supported.
Even if King Zhao's nostalgia is hard to do, I'm afraid other forces in the court will have ideas.The first to bear the brunt are the Hebei faction and the Guanzhong faction. They will never be willing to see the Bingzhou faction so strong.
Furthermore, there is still Yu Shinan from the Jiangnan department by his side.
Thinking of himself and others, Pei Ju thought of himself after planning the big framework.Now the Bingzhou Department has half of the seats in Ziwei Hall, if it continues to be greedy.
I am afraid that Wang Hong's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials is suspended.
Pei Ju sighed, looking at the copper beast incense burner in the study, lost in thought.This time King Zhao asked Wang Hong to take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials temporarily, probably because he didn't mean to remind them.
If you are greedy for power and position, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses in the end.
But he could think of this, but it was impossible to persuade Wang Hong to let go of his position. Because of the forced purchase of grain, he made the decision in private and exchanged the land for the king's understanding. He did not communicate with Wang Hong about this matter.
Now, the Pei family and the Wang family are actually in a close relationship.If he took the initiative to persuade Wang Hong to let go of his position, it is very likely that Wang Hong would interpret it as suppressing the royal family.
As for persuading Xue Ting to let go of his position as minister of the Ministry of Industry, it seems impossible. He worked hard in the Ministry of Industry and was highly affirmed by the king, and Ziweitang rarely expressed his views, so it is impossible for the king to move him for the time being.
After much deliberation, Pei Ju realized that he and Wang Hong had to leave.
If they don't leave, I'm afraid the next time the state will be bloodbathed.The king didn't even need to do anything, the Guanzhong faction, Hebei faction, and even the Central Plains faction would cut them with knives at the same time.
The Bingzhou Department is too eyesore.
"Oh, how did you get to this point?" Pei Ju stood up, hands behind his back, hunched over, with a troubled expression on his face.
After fighting for such a long time, looking back, I suddenly found that my former friends became enemies without knowing it.
Thinking about it, his face suddenly turned pale, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.
"awesome."
He shook his head and smiled wryly, forcing himself to stop the dangerous thought.
"It's not wrong to lose, alas!"
After a while, he made a very important decision.
"Come on, prepare a car!"
Zhaowang Palace and Chuigong Palace.
Jiang Chengxiao is repeating his job of reviewing papers. In the new year, he will make new instructions, such as planning for each county, what tasks that county will complete this year, that county will accept refugees well, and the county guards in those counties will do things. If he can't be relegated, he has to do all of these, and from time to time he has to call some officials into the palace to discuss.
All in all, very busy.
At present, the situation in the Guanzhong counties is the most complicated and needs stability the most.For this reason, in the past few days, he specially summoned Duguzheng and Dou Wei to the palace to discuss the appointment of some positions in the Guanzhong counties.No one is more familiar with the situation in Guanzhong than they are, but they are only offering opinions, and the final decision depends on Jiang Chengxiao's intentions.
Duguzheng and Dou Wei also cooperated very well, and even expressed their willingness to stabilize the situation in person many times, but Jiang Chengxiao refused them with a smile.
"If this goes on like this, sooner or later you'll vomit blood." He murmured, stopped the vermilion pen, got up and walked to the window.
At the beginning, the Tiange Liuxiang was established, ostensibly for the purpose of decentralization and checks and balances, to reduce the pressure on his government affairs, and to facilitate his purpose of commanding troops to wipe out the rebels.In fact, it is dividing the power cake, and it is a return on the investment of the Pei family, Wang family, and Zheng family.
However, with the passage of time, the nature of Liuxiang has changed too much, until now the Bingzhou Department has occupied half of the seats of Liuxiang, which led to the investigation.
Extreme power leads to extreme crime.
If it weren't for the fact that the Bingzhou Department was so powerful in the court, how could its officials dare to violate the foundation of the court in such a way.
"It has to be changed." He slammed his fist on the window sill, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.
Since he intends to rest for a while, he must go all out to change the internal affairs and not hold him back any longer.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Pei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asks to see you." Mai Congde's voice came.
Pei Ju?
Jiang Chengxiao is a little strange, there are still a few days before the opening of the dynasty, what is he doing here?
The small dynasty of Ziweitang should have started to operate, but because of the relationship between Zheng Shanyuan and Wang Hong, Jiang Chengxiao ordered the temporary suspension of the dynasty. Simply put, the small dynasty of Ziweitang is temporarily closed. When will Liuxiang be re-determined and when will it reopen? .
However, it is estimated that that day will never come again.
"pass."
"Yes."
After Jiang Chengxiao walked back to the case, he knelt down, picked up the vermilion pen, reopened the memorial and began to watch it.
Not long after, Pei Ju walked into the Chui Gong Hall slowly in full formal attire.
"See Your Majesty." Pei Ju bowed.
"Exemption." Jiang Chengxiao joked with a smile: "Master Pei, you are really old and strong. This year's festival, Hugh Mu came to see Gu before he had rested. He is really a good minister who is so loyal to the affairs of the court."
"Come on, Mr. Pei, please sit down."
With that said, Nan Jiyun brought a cushion, and Pei Ju sat down on his knees.
"Your Majesty has a great reputation. If you eat the king's salary, you should repay your favor. The ministers never dare or forget that the king entrusted his ministers." As he said, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "My lord, this I have written all about the matter of accepting a concubine for the second time."
Mai Congde took the memorial and handed it to Jiang Chengxiao.
He opened it and looked at it, and there were many lists of good families who had passed the primary selection. In addition to their names, there were also their backgrounds, which were very detailed.
But this is just the primary election.
The primary selection is based on footwork, the second selection is based on appearance, and the third selection is based on palace inspection.
"Pei Gong is decent, Gu is very relieved, Pei Gong can do as he wants." Jiang Chengxiao closed the memorial and put it aside.
There must be a black box operation in the matter of accepting a concubine. Those who can enter the primary selection list are either the daughters of noble ministers or daughters of aristocratic families.
Jiang Chengxiao doesn't care about the primary election, but he can manage the second and third elections.
Pei Ju leaned forward and said, "That's it, I will go back and tell the families to ask them to draw pictures of Liangjiazi and send them to the palace for selection by the king."
"Well, Mr. Pei has worked hard." Jiang Chengxiao praised with a smile.
After talking about accepting the concubine, Pei Ju paused, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently, and the doctor told me that I should stop thinking too much, and should pay attention to self-cultivation. Therefore, the old minister resigned to the King. "
Hearing this, several question marks appeared above Jiang Chengxiao's head.
What does Pei Ju mean?
"Why does Mr. Pei want to abandon his orphan?" Jiang Chengxiao was 'shocked and reluctant'.
He was indeed confused by Pei Ju, he had no plans to do anything to Pei Ju for the time being, besides, Pei Ju had given him the land before.Now if he agreed to Pei Ju's resignation, wouldn't it be a complete denial of recognition.
This kind of bottomless behavior. He has to think about it.
