Chapter 145 Three Immortals
In this life, if there is one thing that makes Xu Ping proud and feel that his life is worth it, it is the rainy night when he left Yongzhou. The dozens of miles of mountain road and continuous lanterns illuminated his return, which is the best reward for his six years of hard work in Yongzhou. The most rare thing in the world is the hearts of people. If you win the hearts of people, what else can you compare to?
Compared with the night I left, it is no longer important to quell the rebellion and expand the territory.
If it weren't for that night, Xu Ping might not have been so careful after returning to the capital. He would feel trembling in everything he did. He was afraid that he would cause countless hardships to the people if he was careless or a mistake.
In "Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi of the Spring and Autumn Period", Kong Yingda said, "Establishing virtue means creating a system and preaching the law, and helping the people with a wide range of power", "Making merit means saving troubles and eliminating difficulties, and helping me to the times", and "Making words means getting the key points of words, and reason is enough to be passed on."
In Yongzhou, Xu Ping quelled the rebellion of the barbarians under his rule, eliminated the hidden dangers of Guangyuanzhou, defeated Jiaozhi, captured the enemy chiefs, and presented them to the king, which was considered to be a meritorious service. However, the small country of Jiaozhi was not exposed at that time, and could not be considered a great success. Under his rule, Kuotu was a territorial, and he was widely educated. The place outside the change was like the Central Plains, which could be considered to be a merit. It was only limited to the land of Yongzhou. Although this virtue was public morality, not private morality, its influence was still limited.
But what the merits of this state and one place brought Xu Ping was a clear understanding of his life.
However, foreign enemies quelled civil strife and were in the barbarians. There were many people who had such merits, such as Ding Wei. Ding Wei was in Kuizhou for five years. Because he did a good job, no one could replace him. The court felt sorry for him and asked him to take his own place. Ding Wei was not polite, and recommended the capable official Xue Yan to replace him. After returning to the capital, he soared into the sky. Xu Ping surpassed Ding Wei, which was exactly when he left, and the people of Manzhou sent him off on a rainy night. What he was better than Ding Wei was to win the hearts of the people.
When Xu Ping thought of Ding Wei, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. What people outside said would more or less reach Xu Ping's ears. The most common thing he said was probably to compare Xu Ping with Ding Wei.
How could Xu Ping compare with Ding Wei? Ding Wei was the Jinshi in Chunhua for the third year and ranked fourth at the time. He felt that Qu Cai was unwilling to do so. Taizong said, "A, B, C, D, your surname is Ding, isn't it appropriate? Ding Wei was so grateful that he was grateful. He was appointed as a judge of Dali and a judge of Raozhou. He was recruited back to the capital in more than a year and was appointed as a direct history museum. In just over three years, he became the transfer envoy of Fujian Road. In the fifth year of becoming a Jinshi, he became the judge of the Three Divisions.
At that time, the fortune transfer officer did not pay attention to the order of qualifications. As long as the superiors saw it correctly, no matter how small the official is, no matter how low the qualifications are, they can do it. Putting aside this, Xu Ping had been in Yongzhou for two years and made countless contributions before he had the opportunity to return to the court. It was because of Li Yonghe's relationship that the judges of the three departments could not escape this reason.
Compared with Ding Wei, Xu Ping's career can be said to be bumpy. Comparing himself with Ding Wei, isn't that a poor family Ding Wei? Ding Wei's reputation was very late, and he had been the prime minister for more than two years. Before that, Ding Wei was always a representative of capable officials, and his poetry and prose were also the first choice in the world, so Xu Ping could not compare with anything!
The light yellow lights spread all over the room, shining on Xiuxiu's face, who was doing needlework and thread seriously, revealing warmth.
Xu Ping leaned on the table, looked at Xiuxiu, thinking about his own thoughts.
He knew his own affairs. Others watched Xu Ping's rapid promotion over the past year, thinking that he would be the envoy of the Three Divisions in a few years and would be in power in the two governments. However, Xu Ping himself knew that the position of the Three Divisions, even if he had the word "power", was very far away from him.
The three officials were in charge of finance, and they were truly determined from the system, starting from the time Kou Zhun was appointed as the commander of the three officials. In this era of Xu Ping, the three officials who had the most outstanding achievements and had the longest tenure were Ding Wei.
These two geniuses have a great influence. Born in this era, Xu Ping could only live in their shadow.
Kou Zhun was straightforward and willful, stubborn, competitive, vanity, and wishful, and be grateful to others. He was also praised by his close friend Zhang Yong as ignorant. Zhang Yong himself was an angry and heroic figure. He said he was ignorant, which shows Kou Zhun's image in the eyes of people at that time. It can be said that Kou Zhun was full of faults that scholars believed. He was also arrogant and domineering. Not only could his colleagues not bear it, but even the emperor who trusted him infinitely could not bear it.
Fan Zhongyan once said this to Kou Zhun, "The emperor is in charge, and the world is called great loyalty." He had to take care of the emperor, listen to his own things, let alone others. If you are the priest with him, you can think about what it would be like to be an official.
Ding Wei has a completely different style. Simply put, it means deceiving the superiors and deceiving the inferiors, greed for power and excluding dissidents. Don’t look at the kindness of others, the court cannot tolerate people who are against you. The key is that they are rude and will always take away their origins, and even put others to death, completely destroying you from spirit to body.
Many people disliked Lu Yijian's power, but compared with these two people, he was a kind and friendly old man.
If a person is young and his official position is promoted quickly, someone will definitely take it to compete with these two people. Once the competition is over, it will be broken. The civil and military officials in the court no longer want to be a minister with such a person. Don’t look at the moment when Fan Zhongyan and others talk about Mr. Kou Lai, they will praise loyal ministers, protect the country and the country, and make great contributions to the country. Let them be an official with Kou Zhun?
Whether Kou Zhun or Ding Wei, the pedals before becoming prime minister were all three commanders, which was a mountain in front of Xu Ping.
As long as the old ministers in the court do not go, the resistance of Xu Ping to approach the center of power will be infinite, especially the position of the Sansi. The Sansi is in charge of the national finance and has great power, and there is a regular report in the palace. When encountering a tough person, the prime minister cannot suppress it. Which one of Lu Yijian or Wang Zeng, can't let Xu Ping sit in that position?
Instead of thinking about the three envoys, it is better to think about the edicts. The edicts are controlled by the external system. After a period of time, it was transferred to the Hanlin Bachelor and the internal system, and it also reached the center of power. The two are the Ci ministers, one is that the influence of the prime minister is small, the emperor has great authority, and there is no direct power, so others can tolerate it. But Xu Ping really can't do the Ci minister's profession. What are the solutions?
Xu Ping sighed secretly in his heart. He reorganized the Three Divisions Regulations as soon as he took office last year. Now, he was really a little reckless. He focused on farming a few days ago and thought about compiling the agricultural regulations, but fortunately he didn't take action.
