Prime Minister

Chapter 937

What is a long-standing bureaucracy?

That is, the cicada perceives before the golden wind moves, and the autumn is known by a leaf of the phoenix tree.

From the minutiae, the bloody smell of political struggle was smelled ahead of time.

People with less sensitivity have long been eliminated by the ruthless officialdom rules.

In fact, after Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister, Zhang Yue worshiped the deputy envoy of the Privy Council again. As long as Lu Huiqing is not too stupid, any official can see that Lu Huiqing has lost power.

After Cai Chengxi impeached Lu Huiqing, the last bit of face was not left for Lu Huiqing.

The Taiwanese admonishers who have spoken out are all gearing up, and officials are also talking about it. Officials who were originally close to Lu Huiqing, such as Yuan Jiang, etc., have expressed their dissociation with Lu Huiqing privately or publicly. Hui Qing was discordant and immediately fell out.

Shen Kuo, on behalf of the military supervisor, changed his flag to Zhang Yue's command, Lu Jiawen, Li Chengzhi and others also rebelled one after another, but only Zhang Dun and others remained unmoved.Except for Lu Huiqing's position as a political adviser, this fairness is also tasteless.

Lu Huiqing expressed his intention to resign to the emperor and Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi refused.

Lu Huiqing doubted in her heart whether Wang Anshi deliberately left herself on the stage to be humiliated.

At this time, the compilation of the new meanings of the Three Classics had been completed, and the officials were overjoyed to have the new meanings of the Three Classics published by the Guozijian.

In order to show their commendation, the officials added Wang Anshi as the left servant and servant for his merits in compiling books, Wang Yu directly became the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Lu Huiqing added him as Shizhong and went straight to Jixianyuan.

Both Wang Anshi and Wang Yu strongly resigned from their second posts, expressing their unwillingness to accept it.

To be honest, Wang Xi also soared into the sky, and even served as a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.The direct bachelor of Longtuge can be described as a great dragon, second only to the direct bachelor of the Privy Council, ranking third rank.

Back then, Zhang Yue broke the Muzheng and took over the whole of Hezhou, but he was just a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion.

And Wang Yu was a Jinshi six years later than Zhang Yue.

Now Wang Yu actually became a direct bachelor of Longtuge because of his merits in writing books. Even Zhang Yue had to hide his face and cry when he heard about it and said, "Guan, you are so partial."

Wang Anshi also knew that the reward was too much, so he asked Wang Gui to help him decline.

And what about Lu Huiqing?

Lu Huiqing accepted the official position given by the officials. Lu Huiqing believed that these rewards were deserved.

However, in Wang Anshi's eyes, Lu Huiqing did not move forward or retreat together with their father and son.

Lu Huiqing took this opportunity to ask the government for his resignation for the third time, and explained the revision of the "Three Classics and New Meanings".

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, my younger brother Lu Shengqing has already apologized to Wang Anshi and Wang Yu for deleting and modifying the three scriptures. However, when Cai Chengxi impeached his younger brother, Anshi did not defend his younger brother."

The official said: "Qing misunderstood, Wang Xianggong tried his best to explain for Qing and Qing brother."

Lu Huiqing bowed her head and thought for a while, could it be that Cai Chengxi's performance was instigated by another villain?

Recalling Wang Anshi's evaluation of Lu Huiqing, the officials said: "Don't be unpredictable!"

Lu Huiqing was furious when she heard the words, what does the emperor mean by this?Does it mean that I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain?Am I, Lu Huiqing, a villain in the eyes of the emperor and the world?

Lu Huiqing said firmly: "Your Majesty, I beg you to go out!"

The official said: "You have nothing to do and ask to go, why?"

Lu Huiqing said angrily: "Your Majesty, Chen Li will do it. If you can't, stop. I can't do it myself, so I ask for a stop."

"In the seventh year of Xining, An Shi went away because of Zheng Xia's impeachment, and there was a shortage of people in the court for a while, so I boldly accepted the order and did not resign. Now that An Shi is back, I should ask to go. Because your majesty has repeatedly persuaded him to stay, the minister has been lingering until now. "

Lu Huiqing didn't say before that he requested to go out because Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister. Now he made the matter clear in front of the emperor. This means that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

The officials continued to stay and said: "Is Qing still talking about Qing's younger brother because of Cai Chengxi? This matter has nothing to do with Qing?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Even if it is Cai Chengxi's speech, is there no fault for the minister? Can't you ask for it?"

The official said: "Anshi's reunification, I just want you and you to work together, why do you want to ask to go at this time?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, don't you see that Wang Anshi is here, and the administration is different from the past? So repeated, who do you plan to leave in the future?"

The official said: "Why do you come here?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, since you don't hear the same thing, and you can't win the battle with Anshi, there are hundreds of officials, so there is no way to adjust the imperial. It is really difficult for me to say what you want to say for your majesty."

The official frowned upon hearing this, Lu Huiqing was already blatantly sowing a wedge between him and Wang Anshi.

The most difficult thing in the ages is between the king and the prime minister.

Wang Anshi served as Prime Minister for seven or eight years, and the officials had indeed accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Anshi.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. This is the inevitable result of the struggle between monarchy and relative power. The emperor is well aware that this is not Wang Anshi's problem.

Wang Anshi has no selfish intentions, he knows it well.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven would not allow others to provoke the relationship between him and Wang Anshi so blatantly.

The official said: "Wang Anshi came back because he saw that there is something to be done in the world."

Lu Huiqing was already desperate at this moment, and made it clear to the officials what was in her heart: "Wang Anshi saw that the minister's behavior was not good, so he was uneasy. The minister is here, and His Majesty wants Wang Anshi and the minister to work together, and he can't hear it." , so I feel uneasy. However, today's court affairs can be without ministers, but Wang Anshi cannot be without Wang Anshi, so I beg you to go!"

The official said again: "Wang Anshi didn't mean to be jealous."

Lu Huiqing said: "Even if this is the case, as long as your majesty listens to Anshi alone, the world can be ruled. If there is something inexhaustible, it is not a blessing for the country. It is extremely difficult for the prime minister to distinguish the virtuous from the unworthy for the court. , to gather the world's grievances in one body, in case you don't notice..."

The officials repeatedly asked to stay, but Lu Huiqing was very firm and only asked, and left by herself, so that the officials could simply listen to Wang Anshi alone.

The next day, Lu Huiqing came to Zhongshu.

Everyone in Zhongshu Wufang knew that he resigned from the government for the third time yesterday, and he already showed a very firm intention.

Lu Huiqing stood in the political hall with her hands behind her back for a while, looking at the chairs where the ministers were discussing matters, with a sad smile.He said to Zhongshu's subordinates: "The prime minister knew my talent back then, so he strongly recommended Huiqing to the emperor. Today, I am in an important position, and it is all thanks to the prime minister."

"I, Lu Huiqing, read Confucian books, and then I realized the respectability of Zhong Ni. Only when I read the external scriptures, did I know the value of Buddha. In today's world, only the prime minister can be a teacher. Unexpectedly, I was slandered, and the prime minister lost the usual happiness. , now I just want to be able to go out.”

After finishing speaking, Lu Huiqing caressed the back of the chair with a gloomy face.

Everyone in Zhongshu sighed, never had they seen Lu Huiqing in such a mess.

Immediately, someone passed Lu Huiqing's words to Wang Anshi and Wang Yu's ears.

After hearing this, Wang Anshi said with emotion to Wang Yu: "I have known Lu Liu for many years, and I really can't bear to hear what he said."

Wang Yu said: "Although Daddy couldn't bear it, Lu Liu could put up with Daddy at the beginning. Don't forget the matter of Zhang Du, he let Lu Huiqing go out because of his kindness."

Wang Anshi asked Wang Yu, "Where did you hear that?"

Wang Yu said: "I heard from my brother-in-law that Zhang Duzhi had the handle on Lv Liu when he asked Su Zi to be audited by the third division. !"

Wang Anshi was silent for a moment and said: "I suddenly remembered that when Sima Junshi left the capital, he advised me to beware of Lu Liu. He said that Lu Liu flattered blindly for power and position, which was just a temporary measure. Once he died, If you hold a high position, you will come back to harm me.”

"Nowadays, I sincerely feel what the ancients said, you know each other all over the world, and how many people you know each other."

Wang Yu said: "Father, let's continue to recuperate, and ignore him for the time being."

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "It's just that Zhongshu can't let it go."

Wang Yu said: "Father, this is Yuan Jiang's gift poem. Congratulations on the completion of the new meaning of the Three Classics. Chen Qianyu obeys Tong Huan Fu, and after worshiping the golden pearl, there is Duke Lu."

Wang Anshi read Yuan Jiang's gift poem.

The meaning of this golden bead worship comes from Zhou Gong worshiping first and Lu Gong later, which means that Wang Anshi and Wang Yu are compared to Zhou Gong and his son Lu Gong, which belongs to the meaning of Xiangmen's appearance.

Wang Anshi was very happy after reading Yuan Jiang's poem.

Wang Yu said: "If Zhongshu lacks participation in politics, Yuan Houzhi can make up for it."

Wang Anshi nodded, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

Leaving Wang Anshi's bedroom, Wang Yu met Deng Wan.

Deng Wan said: "Da Langjun, is the prime minister's condition getting better?"

Wang Yu said: "If Lu Huiqing leaves, she will be fine."

Deng Wan asked: "It is true that Lu Huiqing and his younger brother borrowed money from rich people to buy land in Huating. I can make a big fuss about it. In addition, Zhang Yue, Zeng Gong, and Su Zhe also have Lu Huiqing impeached, Zhang Yue , Su Zhe and Su Zhe have real evidence. Now that there is a lot of talk about Lu thief in the court, everything depends on the prime minister and Mr. Dalang to make up their minds."

Wang Yu said: "Very good, very good, Zhang Yue, Su Zhe, and Zeng Gong are not my party, and they have also impeached Lu Huiqing, which will surely convince Your Majesty."

"You are helping him from the sidelines. Tomorrow, we will go to the court to impeach Lu Huiqing."

Deng Wan happily agreed that in addition to Lu Huiqing, he would also take revenge on Zhang Dun who had always been at odds with him.

After a pause, Deng Wan said, "Should I sue my husband?"

Wang Yu said: "You don't need to tell. Daddy is ill. It's normal for us to tell you afterwards. Besides, Daddy has a heart for Lu Huiqing, so it's not good to say too much."

Speaking of which, Wang Yu glanced at Deng Wan and asked, "Why do you think I can't make up my mind?"

"No, no!" Deng Wan immediately said unwaveringly, "Master Dalang is decisive, Deng will of course obey, and my husband will take care of major matters, so you don't need to alarm him about such trivial matters."

Wang Yu nodded and said, "Lv thief is notorious this time, just to make a big splash, so that he will never return to Zhongshu!"

Deng Wan heard this and asked: "Then after Lu thief left, there is no phase..."

Deng Wan is now a censor Zhongcheng and a direct scholar, so she just sits around and looks at the other.

Wang Yu said: "Dad already wants to belong to Yuan Jiang. Just wait a little longer. The future will be long."

Deng Wan couldn't help but look disappointed when she heard the words.

……

Within a few days, Su Zhe, Deng Wan, Zeng Gong, Shen Kuo, Lu Jiawen and others went to court to impeach Lu Huiqing.

Both inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Finally the emperor made up his mind. In June of the eighth year of Xining, one month after Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, Lu Huiqing was dismissed!
