back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 857

But as an emperor, how could he have no troubles?
No, just after the Lantern Festival, a memorial was presented on Lu Chengqi's dragon case, which was a memorial to the chief minister of the cabinet, Xu Chongguang.

Lu Chengqi read it over and over several times before he was sure that the Chief Assistant, who had been with him for ten years and established the cabinet system, was going to leave after all.

Ten years of monarchs and ministers, there have been suspicions, misunderstandings, acquaintances, and companionships... After seeing each other every two days, they can't see each other at once, and they seem to be very reluctant.Lu Chengqi dared to say that he spent more time seeing Xu Chongguang every day than seeing his wife.

It's just such a stubborn old man who helped him stabilize the New Deal and develop Jiangnan, and now it's finally time to retire.

Lu Chengqi's emotion is just that time flies too fast, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Opening Xu Chongguang's request for official appointment again, Lu Chengqi only felt that between the lines, there was a sense of pride and satisfaction:

"Honor Xu Chongguang paid homage to him, and His Majesty personally congratulated him. Fu Chengxian made a book, entered the festival, and then returned to the government. He also raised the admiration of Taoism, and Fu Wei congratulated him. Your majesty knows the heaven and the people, and his studies are perfect. Territory. The dynasty is full of great expectations, with both civil and military capital; the world has vision, and the gentry follow the law. Although they want to be superior in advancing and retreating, they are actually more important than the imperial court. In the early days of the government, Fang appointed others to look at the old, so the memorials were piled up, and the dependents Meet Milong. At last, Ya Zhi’s serious disobedience, it’s hard to ignore the pity of the public opinion, soar the wind to encourage the vulgar, and make the eyebrows live longer and win Baixiang. If you are virtuous or foolish, you will be blessed with honor, but you will be cowardly, and you will know pity early At the beginning, His Majesty was appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. He was shocked by his fate and was at a loss. Applied text. But the couplet of self-talking attendants, accumulated over time, has no real effect at the beginning, and seldom makes up for it. When it is slandered and slandered, there are many worries and rapid aging; The first forbidden forest, with a cheeky face, Fang wants to invite himself to the top of the rivers and lakes, and gradually seeks the return of the land. He has repeatedly tried to be honest, but he has not been favored. , has been shaped and played, and the period must be stopped.

Stealing to select talents through examination, so that everyone cultivates virtue and prides themselves; when talking about talents and skills, they will be inferior or show off and forget integrity.The way of sincerity is different, and the trend of advancement is different.A custom that has been immersed for a long time is deplorable because it is beneficial and evil; it is common to see it, so it is not strange.Fu Yixiucai learned excellent tomb history, rich in poetry and articles, and self-improvement through ability, Fang Yun collected it and waited for the price.Unexpectedly, it is wrong to mention, Sui Er's remnants!However, if there is no home for the virtuous, it is rare for Gu Liang to come by.For example, if a husband is hungry, even though he is ashamed and speechless, he will not be able to catch up.Since I was too ashamed to bear it, I filed two lawsuits to reciprocate.If you are caught, you will be poor, and you will understand.In the selection of scholars by the imperial court, only Han Junzhi is the first.He must also come to the officials to learn from the ancient times, and to be in charge of the government and the people.When you are in prison, you can be calm and take this as a warning; if you benefit the public and forget yourself, you must fight for it.If you don't return for the rest of your life, what's the trouble even if you're gone?In this way, the tarnishing of Guibi can still be ground; the sun and the moon will change, and they will all look up.As for deciding whether or not, and distinguishing right from wrong, it is not selfish to be tall, and it is not the benefit of good-looking people.But ashamed of superficial knowledge, only exhausted.The fisherman makes the spring, thinking of the ancients but can't see it; the private door is grateful, and he doesn't do it.

His Majesty Fuwang used Min Lian to observe his persecution. Fortunately, because of the meeting, he made a special opening, and he resigned firmly, and the common people were in peace.Fang deeply appreciates the selfishness, and humiliates the thickness of teaching.I am grateful for the greatness of the Holy Grace, and I would like to submit a petition to hear about it. "

Tremblingly, Lu Chengqi picked up the ink brush and wrote a line: "The emperor and his ministers have known each other for ten years, and Xu Ge Laoan has the heart to abandon me? You can't take love!"

"Send it back to the cabinet..."

Lu Chengqi seemed to have been taken out of his body, his eyes were full of thoughts, who should be chosen as the next chief minister of the cabinet.

This is a trick between the monarch and his ministers. Xu Chongguang is already seventy-five years old this year. If he followed Dashun's usual practice, he would retire at seventy, but many people just stayed in office all their lives.

If it wasn't for Xu Chongguang's concern for Jiangnan, he might have asked to be appointed as early as five years ago.

An extremely human minister, can you go one step further?Obviously not, in recent years, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Shao Fu, and concurrently served as a member of the Privy Council of Tongzhi, and was conferred the title of Grand Master of Guanwen Temple.

It is said that he is the chief minister, but in fact he is the prime minister whose power has been restricted. How can Xu Chongguang not be satisfied?

This time, he is really going to resign from office and return home.After all, the world is peaceful now, and the Jiangnan incident is basically settled, and it can no longer be reversed.His name, Xu Chongguang, will definitely remain in the history. What is there to be dissatisfied with as an official?

Now, the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens have already started a real fire, and Dashun will soon be involved. If he does not ask for an official post now, it will not be so perfect.Xu Chongguang's request to become an official was largely due to personal reasons, but he also had a public heart.In the past two years, his energy had dropped so badly that even Jiangnan almost couldn't take care of him.Rather than reluctantly holding on and ruining your reputation when you are old, it is better to retreat bravely and live forever.Among the twelve ministers in the cabinet, the oldest one is over 60, enough to hold the position of chief assistant.His proud disciple, Lin Zhenzhong, is even more capable of being alone.In that case, what else could he miss?
Lu Chengqi also understood that after he seized his love, Xu Chongguang would give memorials again and again, so that he could reluctantly accept permission to become an official.

Otherwise, if he approved it once, wouldn't it appear that he, the emperor, is too ruthless?

Using courtiers is like using toilet paper, throw it away after use.What do the courtiers below think of this?
As expected, Xu Chongguang was determined to leave, and after three consecutive memorials in three days, Lu Chengqi finally approved "as a last resort", and immediately drew up a Taoist decree, allowing him to return in good time. Township, give gold and silver, more than a million?
"You mean, Your Majesty has approved Xu Chongguang's official appointment?"

Wen Yanbo stood up abruptly on the mansion, as if he had already seen the hope of joining the cabinet.

Liu Anshi nodded, and said: "I entered the palace today, and I heard from Lu Wei. The imperial decree should come soon, and then Wen Xianggong and Sima Xianggong will have the opportunity to join the cabinet!"

Wen Yanbo calmed down: "In this way, Han Qi also has a chance. From the eyes of His Majesty, Han Qi's ability will not be missed."

Liu Anshi shook his head, and said: "No, Mr. Han has also retired from the ceremony..."

"what?!"

Wen Yanbo was taken aback: "Why?"

"Han Xianggong is not feeling well, and he has already reported to His Majesty, asking for his appointment." Liu Anshi said with some emotion.

"This old man, I've been fighting with him for so long, and now he's actually giving up his burden? No, is Your Majesty seductive?"

Wen Yanbo was a little out of order. He didn't know what kind of mistakes he would make after losing his biggest opponent.Sometimes your enemy is your best friend. This is a truth that Wen Yanbo has deeply realized since he became an official.If Han Qi, Wen Yanbo would not be able to participate in political affairs.

"Your Majesty did not seize the love, but sent several imperial doctors to treat Han Xianggong. The news that came out seems not to be very good..." Liu Anshi was a little sad. Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and Han Qi were all capable. Why can't the courtiers co-exist?Such a straightforward person like him really can't figure it out.
