Chapter 90: What trouble does not have any ministers

Zhang Shuo went eastward and came to Luoyang without stopping.

Just as he was about to enter the city, several people stood at the gate, one of whom shouted: "Mr. Zhang, please stay."

Zhang Shuo turned his head and saw that the Zuo Shin Die, who was about the same age as him, was in poor health and basically faded out of the government. The old minister, the Censor Wang Qiuli, was appointed as the chief minister, Han Sifu, the old minister, the Secretariat, Li Yi, the Minister of Justice Xue Deng.

Some of these five officials were older than him, some were younger than him, some were similar to his official positions, and some were much lower than his official positions.

But most of them were like his loyalty, but Zhang Shuo remembered what Wang Hua had said to him, so he immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed quickly.

Xue Deng asked, "Shilarious Secretary Zhang, how is the progress this time?"

At this time, Wang Hua had not sent troops, but he was starting to make arrangements. The court also received news. He didn't know whether Wang Hua was serious this time or bluffing and forcing the court to submit. However, the people in the court were in panic all day long. If Wang Hua really sent troops, the court would reach a critical moment.

Therefore, when Xue Deng learned that Zhang said he was going to return to Beijing soon, he discussed with these ministers with similar loyalty, estimated the itinerary, and waited outside the city gate.

Zhang Shuo shook his head and told him about the situation.

Xue Deng asked, "Then do you mean Wang Hua won't rebel?"

"Not necessarily, he has no intention of rebelling and is forcing him to rebel."

These ministers are so arrogant that they smiled bitterly after hearing this. If they had such strong strength in their hands, they would not have surrendered. But thinking about the current situation, the few people were even more worried.

"Shisan Xue, what's the situation in the court now?"

Xue Deng said: "It's not good, but there is also good news. Your Majesty seems to be starting to be unsatisfied with the autocracy of some people."

After hearing this sentence, a hint of hope appeared in Zhang Shuo's eyes. Although he wrote a letter to Li Longji, it did not mean that he wanted to have a national turmoil. If the emperor could wake up, it would not be too late to eliminate the three evils in Zhou Chu.

"But Mr. Zhang, don't be too happy too early. Although Your Majesty is a little regretful, he has lost control of the court." As he said, Xue Deng said something about the recent situation and said, "I don't know much about Your Majesty's intentions, but I know one thing. Your Majesty has no one available now, and I don't know who to use."

Speaking of this, he cried. Although this was Li Xian's own fault and could not survive. However, it would be better if an emperor had reached this point, if he was the fool of Emperor Hui of Jin, Li Xian was just an ordinary person. To be honest, he was not a tyrant. As a loyal and upright minister, how could he not cry in tragedy?

"Mr. Xue, don't worry. Wait for me to enter the palace to see if there is any possibility of recovery." Zhang Shuo was not sad. He suddenly thought of something. That was some time ago, when he was in Shengzhou, staring at Wang Hua. Wang Hua said to him: "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I didn't agree to you, it's that the court is deteriorating. Now see how many straight ministers are taking on the important tasks of the court? Are there no outstanding ministers? Come on, I'll tell you one by one."

Wang Hua has unparalleled ability to recognize people.

Zhang Shuo immediately congratulated him on his listening.

"Wei Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, is straightforward and has long been famous for his talent. The Right Censor, Taichung Chief Lu Huaishen, is honest and honest, and is honest and honest. The counselor Yuan Qianyao is elegant and good at officials. The Chief Secretary of Yongzhou Li Yuanhong is honest and kind, upright and indomitable, and has a good political achievements. Du Xian, a disciple of the aristocratic family, is brave and wise, and has extraordinary talents. The political affairs are clean and honest. Han Damin, a son of Fengge, is a commoner, but he has great ambitions and his future is limitless. Pei Yaoqing, the Prime Minister's Mansion, is recommended as the head of the consultant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This person grew up and is also a capable minister. These are the talents of the deputy prime minister."

Some of these people were careful, while others did not pay attention. They carefully polished each other and were greatly impressed.

Especially for a deputy prime minister, it is the finishing touch. You must know that the prime minister is not that easy to take responsibility.

"Then it is you and Zhang Jiazhen. Although they are quick and skillful in their decisions and talent, they are super talented, but their personality is extreme and cannot tolerate others. It is a pity."

Zhang Shuo was shocked at first. That minister didn't want to be the prime minister? He didn't know whether Wang Hua praised or criticized him. He said nothing.

"But you have not grown up yet. If you are good ministers, there are three good ministers in the world, Yao Chongzhi, Song Jing and Wei Anshi are second. Since you, Xiao Song and Zhang Jiuling should be the best, Yan Tingzhi and Li Shizhi can follow you."

Zhang Shuo smiled bitterly in his heart, you really don’t avoid enemies. There are enemies like Wei Anshi, beloved generals like Xiao Song, and your brother-in-law and brother-in-law. But if you think about it carefully, Wang Hua is also reasonable. But now Xiao Song is a military general, can he be a good prime minister in the future?

"There is no more powerful than Yin Sizhen. He is not afraid of Hou Qing's stick, but only Yin Qing's pen, and his reputation is so high. He governs Qingzhou with four silkworms a year, and is good at government affairs. He is just a governor. He Dongdao inspects and demoted envoys, and he was the best in the lecture. Li Jie is also smart and talented, so why not use it? Xie Wan, the general of the Right Martial Guard, was clear and clear for a while. He was not afraid of power, and was able to be civil and military. Why not use it as a chief general to defend against powerful enemies? However, because Chang Yuankai, who was a Chang Yuankai, became the chief general of Shuofang? The chief of the Yizhou Grand Governor's Office, was famous for his achievements. Why not use it as a supervisor of the history of the history of the four directions? In the past, the chief of the Yongzhou General Li Yiyan led a guest and appointed the county magistrate to the seat of the superior. He said, this seat is the seat of the Ming Dynasty, but I regret it was not what I saw in the late twilight. Who is it? The Ministry of Revenue?

Shangshu Su Yu. Why didn’t Your Majesty listen to Shangshu Su’s advice? When the heaven was given a letter, he was summoned. Then Tian Linxuan asked the juren: What is loyal? Do you agree with the order? Zheng Weizhong replied: Those who are loyal to the emperor, and those who are corrected the evil of the emperor. The Huangmen Minister Zheng Weizhong has been in trouble recently, and many ministers have been protected by Zheng Shilang. I am amazed. The Dali Temple Chief Wang Zhiyan enforced the law strictly, and people at that time called him Zaodi. Such a minister is a minister of Dali Temple. Lu Congyuan, the right-level supervisor of the government, is keen and wise, and he should not advance. He can be a member of the Ministry of Personnel. Chang'an Order Li Chaoyin is upright and upright, and he has a good way to guard the two capitals. It is just a decree, which is really a pity. These are all called the best candidates of Shangshu Yatai. Mr. Zhang, do you think there are talents in the court?"

"Let's talk about the direct ministers in the court. A poem of time has saved countless fishermen in Jiangnan. Li Yi is very talented, and he is as friendly as Xu Jian and Liu Zixuan at a young age. He is not only friendly to the emperor, but also Xue Deng. The Wei family is clear and Wei Coo. He is from a poor family, but his integrity is high and Han Sifu is generous and ambitious. He ignores the anger of the empress dowager and prevents the empress dowager from building a large statue in Bai Simaban. Zhang Tinggui is also loyal and bold. He dares to speak out. He always puts a seal on the matter and fearlessly avoids it. The king asks for rituals. In the past, I heard that Su Wei was a man of Sanyuexue. He thought that Su Wei was a man of Sanyuexue.

Auspicious, the saying of asking for etiquette, the prime minister regulates the yin and yang, and causes snow to fall in late spring, and disasters, how can it be auspicious? If snow in March is auspicious, then thunder in the twelfth month will be auspicious thunder. I also laughed at it. Unfortunately, because of the uprightness and twilight years, it is not worthy of use. I hope that the king's life will last for a hundred years and give a clear voice to our Tang Dynasty. The princesses repaired their mansions, but the ministers dared not speak, but Xin advocated the righteousness and wrote a letter to impeach. The moral integrity of the ministers is good. Mr. Zhang, why have these straight ministers not reversed the clean government's spirit yet?"

But the military general Wang Hua did not say that almost all the famous military generals in the Tang Dynasty were collected into the Blood Camp.

Wang Hua's words are now vivid in Zhang's memory. Who said that there are no talents in our Tang Dynasty?

But he was thinking about a question, why did Wang Hua count these talents one by one that day? Could it be that he calculated that the emperor didn't know who he used today?

But he still shook his head: "No, this is too weird. If we calculate it, he will not have a disaster in Luoyang. This is just a coincidence."

"Mr. Zhang, what coincidence?" Han Sifu asked.

Zhang Shuo said Wang Hua's comment on talent again.

Several people were also thinking, and Han Sifu suddenly said, "Shilarious Minister Zhang, report this matter immediately after you enter the palace."

"Han's servant, no. If this is recommended by others, the emperor can think about it. But this is recommended by Wang Hua, which may not be useful. You have also seen it, because Wang Hua praised Zhang Xianggong, how about Zhang Xianggong now?"

"Shilarious Minister Zhang, this time, that time, now the emperor is repentant. And if you say it, you will also make the emperor think about it. If Wang Hua wants to rebel, why would he still say these talented ministers and reverse the decline of the court?"

Zhang said with a slap in his head and said, "Yes. If he wants to rebel, he should hope that the country and the government will be in chaos and the people will live in poverty." After understanding this link, he stopped talking to these people. He immediately rode his horse and arched his hand and said, "Everyone, I will go to the palace first and talk after I come back."

Riding straight to the palace.

When Zhang said that he had entered the palace, Li Xian was summoning important ministers to discuss state affairs. He mainly heard the war reports ahead, saying that the blood camp gathered a large army, and seemed to attack Chang'an from several places from the southwest to the north of the prefectures and counties.

When he saw Zhang, Li Xian was very unhappy and thought to himself what you did. He asked deliberately: "Mr. Zhang, have you brought any good news when you come back?"

Zhang Shuo fell down and said, "Damn it, I didn't do the work for you."

"There's no way, why are you back?"

"This is what I have to come back on my own initiative. I made an appointment with Wang Hua for a twenty-day period." Zhang Shuo said the matter in full swing.

"I trust this wolf-like ambition and rebellious minister, but now I'm coming to threaten me that I've said that the king wants his minister to die and his ministers have to die. I would have known that I would have killed his whole family." Li Xian said, while angrily throwing the teacup, teacup, and saucers on the table on the ground, making a chilling sound.

No matter what, even if a good old man forced a minister to this point, the emperor would be unhappy.

Zhang Shuo didn't say anything until he finished throwing everything and sat on the dragon chaise gasping for breath. Zhang Shuo said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"What benefits did Wang Hua give you? Even you threaten me?" Li Xian angrily picked up half of the teacup on the ground and smashed it on Zhang Shuo's head.

Zhang said that a string of blood immediately flew out of his forehead, but Zhang said that he was just silent and did not speak.

As he ran along the way, Zhang Shuo had become very haggard. In addition, he was very thoughtful during this period and lost a lot of weight.

Seeing him, Li Xian finally softened his heart and asked, "Why did he do this? No matter what happened, I have always treated him well and gave him the position of Lingzhou Chief Executive. What else do he want?"

If it weren't for Wei's actions that night, Li Xian could have said that Wang Hua was not bad. He was only in his early twenties and had arrived at the Minister of Revenue. There was no way to be promoted. But this was also useful for Wang Hua. Wherever he caught fire, he immediately sent it out and the fire was put out. Such a minister, if he put it in the hands of the emperor, would have been bad for him. But that night, Li Xian actually agreed and finally cooperated with Wei's killing Wang Hua.

Just because of this, I am no longer qualified to say this.

But now is not the time to argue. Zhang Shuo said: "I have been in Lingzhou for many days and have had many conversations with Wang Hua. Just now, when I was at the city gate, I met Mr. Xue and talked about this. I once said something, and I have no intention of rebelling and forced him to rebel."

"You mean I forced him to rebel?" Li Xian's anger that had just calmed down rose again.

"Yes," Zhang Shuo knew that he could not shrink at this time. The goal of returning this time could not be achieved. He continued to say without hesitation and humility: "I only ask Your Majesty one thing. Now the Eight Prefectures went south to Jishi Mountain, defeated the Tubo people, and collected this land as owned by the Tang Dynasty. The Turks were defeated and expelled from the north. However, the people of these two places, plus the invasion of the Turks and the Tubo people, each family did not have the surplus grain for the day and did not choose food for hunger. But why did the court still seize the food transported by Wang Hua at this time?"

"I don't know about this, but I have issued an order to return this batch of food to him."

"Your Majesty, do you really don't know? Although you issued an imperial edict, all of Wang Hua's subordinates who transported food were regarded as rebels and were killed before they even waited for the autumn. Even the hired ships were burned by the local government as bandits. Let me ask, now that the food is scattered in the Bianzhou area, who dares to transport this batch of food to Weizhou until Lanzhou? Since Your Majesty does not want to release this batch of food, it is the right of the lord. But there is no need to issue this imperial edict, but it has become a desire to cover up and lose the dignity and demeanor of the lord."

"What's going on?" Li Xian turned his head and saw Wei Juyuan and the others.

More than a dozen big guys kept saying they didn't know.

But some people hated Zhang Shuo to death, while others gloated in their hearts.

Li Xian looked at their expressions. Now he was becoming more and more aware of how could these people not know about this big thing? This is not 40,000 stones of grain, but 4 million grain. Put it on a river boat, which can only be transported by nearly a thousand river boats. When it comes to the Wei River, the tonnage of the river boat is even smaller, and it takes thousands of ships. If it runs together, it will cover the sky and the sun.

These ministers don’t know, some don’t know, and some don’t dare to say it if they know it, and some don’t dare to say it if they know it.

Thinking of this, he felt sad.

Zhang said that when he saw the fire coming, he wiped the blood and said, "Your Majesty, I have talked to Wang Hua in Shengzhou. I said that talent is rare, but Wang Hua said, how could there be no outstanding minister?"

I changed it here and then I said what the Tianwanghua said.

The dozens of people mentioned by Wang Hua listed them from the talent of the prime minister and deputy prime minister to the talent of the future prime minister, and then to the ministers of various ministries, and even censors and officials to the local officials and frontier officials.

Now Zhang said it, aren’t you worried about not having trustworthy talents? I’ll tell you about them now and let you choose them yourself. As long as you use some of these talents, you will immediately regain your integrity in the court.

But these big guys were very moved when they heard this. Wei Anshi, who had been squinting his eyes and silently opened his eyes in surprise when he heard Wang Hua include him in the same place.

Li Xian originally wanted to get angry, my minister, what qualifications do you have to comment on? But it became quiet for a while. This time there were not many people, some of whom were close to Wang Hua, but some were not close to Wang Hua. For example, Wei Anshi and Song Jing, and some were indifferent, such as Yao Chongzhi. There were Wei Cou Wei Anshi from his enemies, and his relatives Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi.

The evaluation of the number of talents is extremely fair.

And it is also more detailed than the lists given by Tang Xiujing.

In fact, don’t have too many. As long as you reorganize these dozens of lists, you can immediately set up a new leadership organization. In fact, Li Xian has no ability. If he has the ability to reuse these ministers one by one, these ministers are also Real Madrid superstars, and the political situation of the Tang Dynasty will soon improve.

He interrupted Zhang: "Don't be anxious, take a pen and write down these people."

His mind is not as good as Zhang's advice, and he will keep it in mind after saying it once.

The eunuch took the paper and pen, and Li Xian asked him to sit down again, and asked the palace maids around him to give Zhang Shuo a wash water, and took out a cloth to bandage the wound on his forehead.

This made the big guys sitting frown one by one.

If Li Xian really appoints ministers according to this list, the entire court would cause a major earthquake and would also involve their interests.

Zhang Shuo wrote out the list and was relieved. No matter what, seeing Li Xian's attitude made him feel that the dark court finally had a trace of light.

Li Xian looked at the list and asked again: "Why did he comment on these ministers?"

He still understands this simple truth.

But after asking, he thought of what Wang Hua said just now, and couldn't help but shudder. Sending troops to Chang'an is a death-death battle. If the Tubo people and Turks are sent to another army, maybe the Tubo people and the Turks will get the bargain again, then the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies. The most worrying thing is the price of grain. This memory is still fresh. If the price of grain rises to a few hundred citrus, there is no need to send troops. A few months later, no second Wang Hua will save him, then it is possible that the Tang Dynasty will rebel and rise up everywhere in the late Qin Dynasty.

No wonder Zhang said he came back in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, looking at Zhang Shi's eyes softened even more.
