Chapter 967 The New Prime Minister
"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
In front of the Taiji Hall, the officials from the lower dynasty saluted Wang Yan one after another.
In fact, this name is not very reasonable, because this is Luoyang, not Liang State. When they shouted this, they regarded Wang Yan as the prime minister of the new dynasty after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But Lao Wang is still very useful.
After greeting everyone, he left the palace and returned to his home.
Not long after, a large group of officials and scholars swarmed in and turned the royal residence into a small court.
Wang Yan invited everyone into the study, and after sitting down one by one, he patted the armrest of the bed and sighed: "I am old, it is still more comfortable to sit on the bed."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is walking with wind, how can he say that?"
Wang Yan laughed loudly, and it was strange that he didn't look senile at all.
"The Liangzhou mission has returned?" Wang Yan asked after the servants had served tea.
"Father, he left yesterday." Wang Xuan sat under Wang Yan and was the first to answer.
He has been sitting in the position of Tian Cao Shangshu for a long time.
After Wang Yan became prime minister, due to various considerations, he petitioned to transfer him to Jizhou Governor Shao Xun and agreed.
Liu Chou, the former governor of Jizhou, fell ill suddenly while inspecting the counties last month and died suddenly in Guanyi.
Although it is not very moral, Wang Yan still has to say that he died a good death.
Liu Chou was born in the Liu family of Pengcheng. His father, Liu Na, was one of the "Twenty-Four Friends of Jinguyuan" and was promoted to Sili Xiaowei.
Liu Chou promoted Xuzhou scholars to serve as officials. He was once a core staff member of Sima Yue, and later one of the generals of the Kaocheng shogunate, and became the governor of Jizhou. His younger brother Liu Song is now the prefect of Shangluo.
He had a younger brother, Liu Wei (also named Dalian), who was originally a member of Sima Yue's party and became an official in Pengcheng's internal history. Later, he followed Sima Rui across the river, and was highly regarded. This was a natural thing. We all were originally from the King of the East China Sea, and they crossed the river together, so it was normal for them to be close.
Liu Wei was well-known in Jianye and specialized in correcting and impeaching others.
First, he defeated the guard general Dai Yuan, and then impeached Wang Jizhi, Yan Han, Zhou Wei, etc. on the grounds of weddings and banquets during the mourning period. Of course, some people lost their posts and others were not punished (fines were fined). January).
After Sima Rui's concubine, Song Ting, who joined the army, forcibly married his concubine after the death of his master, stole more than 600 pieces of official cloth, and was dismissed from office.
Fenwu general Ruan Kang wanted to take Song Ting as his long history, so he was impeached.
Liu Wei bluntly said that Song Ting's behavior of seizing Zhu Zhu's beloved concubine "violated the three cardinal principles and violated human ethics." Ruan Kang knew it, but did not think it was a mistake and should be punished together. There is a saying that if Liu Wei surrenders, Shao is a thief. I don’t even dare to use this person...
When Liu Chou died, the Pei family lost a great general. How happy!
Wang Yan happily stroked his beard and said: "Meizi, you and Liu Dunzheng (Liu Bi, the prefect of Chenliu) will hand over Tiancao affairs in the past two days and take office as soon as possible."
"Yes." Wang Xuan responded.
He actually doesn't want to go to Hebei.
You're not young anymore, why bother?
The same goes for my father. You are the one who is blowing the tiger head like that.
But then again, although Hutou likes martial arts, he is not bad at literature and music theory. Huifeng likes him quite a lot and often teaches him how to behave and manage government affairs. I heard that he is pretty good.
But how to say it? My father can't see through it.
With the background of the Tiger Head clan, would King Liang really give him a chance? Hard to say.
"Yingzhi, don't be anxious." Wang Yan looked at another person and said: "Your father has worked hard for many years. The king saw it and agreed to the post of Chenliu's prefect. This is regarded as coming forward. If he comes forward, you will always come forward. If you have the opportunity to become an official, don’t rush.”
"I listen to the Prime Minister." Bian Tao said with a low eyebrow.
His father, Bian Dun, used to be Sima Yue's chief clerk. Later he went to work as a Sima for Jingzhou Mountain Slips, and then traveled north.
His official career was ruined during the trip to Nandu, and he had to go through qualifications all over again after returning.
Fortunately, he was lucky. When Shao Xun took over the Kaocheng shogunate, he served as his military counselor and wine drinker. Later, he served as military counselor and wine minister to Wang Yan. Now he is finally sent out to serve as a prefect. Chen Liu is still such a key player. land.
Bian Tao was not sensible before, but after his father fell ill, he suddenly panicked and no longer dared to speak ill of Prince Liang behind his back, and he suddenly became eager to make progress.
Now he has taken refuge in Wang Yan.
The Bian family in Jiyin has a very high family status and is related by marriage to the Pei family. There is also someone from this family serving as an official in Jianye. It is hard to say whether Wang Yan will use him in the end.
"The matter of abdication -" Wang Yan's eyes fell on Liu Qun, the Taichang Cheng of the Luoyang court, and said: "Don't delay. You will mention it at the meeting on June 15th."
"As ordered." Liu Qun responded.
This is a good thing, as long as you put aside your shame.
At the Wangri court meeting, he proposed the topic, and the ministers pretended to discuss it, and then issued the second abdication edict in the name of the emperor.
There is a point about who proposes it each time, and the competition is fierce because there are more and more shameless people.
As a descendant of the Liu family in Donglai, his uncle (Liu Tun) is old. Seeing that he is an old fool and has only a few more years to live, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity.
Qingxu noble clan, it is natural to take refuge with Wang Taiwei, and there are many benefits.
No, isn't the opportunity coming now?
"What a pity! I'm going to Bianliang, so I won't be able to see such a grand occasion." Wang Yan sighed.
Luoyang is not the land of Liang. As prime minister, Wang Yan naturally went to Liang to manage politics. After defeating the Xiongnu, Pingyang has completed its historical mission, and the Liang Kingdom should return to its old capital Bianliang.
However, there will only be small-scale construction in Bianliang City this year, not large-scale construction.
Precious money and food are still used to resettle the soldiers.
The historical problem of Luoyang Central Army has reached the final stage of resolution. The remaining people were selected and organized into a Longxiang mansion. Then 4,800 people were selected from Yanzhou and Yuzhou soldiers and organized into four Longxiang mansions, respectively. Yes——
Zhongren Longxiang Mansion was set up in Xizhongren City, Wangdu County, Zhongshan County; Henghai Longxiang Mansion was set up in the northeast of Zhangwu County, Zhangwu County, both of which were under the jurisdiction of Youfei Longwei.
In addition, Yanjin Longxiang Prefecture was built in Jijun; Gudu Longxiang Prefecture was built in Dunqiu; Suoyang Longxiang Prefecture was built in Yangping County. These three prefectures, together with the five Longxiang Prefectures in Jibei and Puyang, constitute Zuoyu Linwei. .
This year, the money and food in Guandong, Henan and Hebei will mainly be spent in this place. The other is to provide part of the subsidies to the newly resettled soldiers in the past two years to allow them to survive the most difficult first two years.
Wang Yan didn't like this kind of thing very much, but he had no choice but to do it, and it had to be done as a top priority. Coordinating rural land and asking for resettlement money and food all fell on him.
This task is very arduous, and most people are not very good at it, so Shao Xun has a tacit understanding with him.
Tolerance is for the sake of the country. You give me benefits, I will give you benefits, and we can get things done together.

After the meeting, Wang Yan, Wang Xuan and his son continued to discuss matters.
"Hu Tou is thirteen years old. Has King Liang found a bride for him?" Wang Yan asked.
"Master, is this too urgent?" Wang Xuan was stunned and said: "Jingfeng and Huifeng didn't mention this matter."
"It's getting late." Wang Yan glared at his son and said, "Look for it first, and you can slowly reveal it to the king next year."
Finding a wife for their son is a matter for parents, but it is not beyond their control.
Moreover, affairs of the Tian family are never that simple, nor are they entirely decided by the emperor's personal likes and dislikes, so there is room for manipulation.
Seeing that his son was silent, Wang Yan asked, "Are Li Chong's three daughters married?"
Wang Xuan thought for a while and said: "I haven't heard of it. But he seems to be three years older than Hutou. Is it appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Wang Yan said: "Guochao will get married at the age of seventeen. His daughter is sixteen this year. Li Chong must also be looking for a son-in-law."
Wang Xuan listened to his father on other matters, but he did not dare to do this. He only said: "Master, don't worry so much. The king seems not to be in a hurry to get his children married at the age of seventeen. The second son of the king, Gui, is already eighteen this year. I started looking for her after I heard about it. When the tiger head is eighteen, Li Zhong’s daughter will be married early.”
When the chaos broke out in Yongjia, marriages among scholars were indeed chaotic for a while, resulting in the emergence of many "older" unmarried men and women over the age of twenty.
But it’s different now. The world is at peace. Generally, people get married when they are in their teens. The earliest people get married at the age of twelve (the false age), and the later ones are only seventeen or eighteen years old. For scholars, big The seventeen-year-old iron rule of the Jin Dynasty did not work very well.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
In an era when status endogamy was popular, there were also scholars in their twenties or even thirties who were unmarried, because it was not always possible to find a partner who matched their family background and family background, but after all, they were a minority.
"Alas." Wang Yan sighed.
Indeed, this was too forced and could easily make Shao Quanzhong unhappy.
On the surface, that person is vulgar and lustful, but in fact he has a sharp mind, has a purpose in everything, and never wastes his energy on useless efforts.
"That's all, let's discuss this later." Wang Yan said: "On the Jiangdong side, we need to think more about ways. Do you have any strategies?"
"Uncle Mao Hong is absolutely impossible." Wang Xuan said: "Jing Chan couldn't even get in."
"Jingchan" is a nickname, his eldest name is Wang Hui, and his courtesy name is Youren. He is the second son of Wang Cheng (also known as Pingzi) (the eldest son died in infancy).
Speaking of Wang Cheng, he is really Wang Yan’s favorite brother.
He once shamelessly commented on Wang Cheng, Wang Dun, and Yu Zhi, saying that "A Ping is the first," "Zisong (Yu Zhi) is the second," and "Zhu Zhong is the third."
But to be honest, Wang Cheng is an absurd and unruly person, and calling him trash is an insult.
Fortunately, Ben Shikong was not killed by Wang Dun and stayed in the north. Shao Xun refused to use him no matter what.
He stayed in Luoyang and caused trouble many times, so he was sent back to his hometown in Langya by Wang Yan.
Wang Hui was much more serious than Wang Cheng, but he was just mediocre in talent and appearance. This made Wang Yan very happy and said that he was "Matsushita Qingfeng", so he got an official position in the Luoyang court, but he did not often work there. This time he was sent to Jianye to persuade Director Wang, but he was rejected.
Just like what Zu Ti said in his illness, a life must have a beginning and an end. Not everyone is willing to change his family, but Director Wang is not willing. He has his own code of conduct.
"Mao Hong is too—" Wang Yan stopped mid-sentence angrily.
If you have a soft body, why don't you allow others to have a hard body? No matter how shameless Wang Yan is, he is embarrassed to speak ill of Director Wang in this regard.
Just a little melancholy.
He had failed the Jin family, and perhaps had also failed the world, but he had not failed Wang Dao, Wang Dun, and Wang Cheng.
As a result, Pingzi couldn't help him, Maohong declined him politely, and Chu Zhong broke up with him - but, alas, Chu Zhong had his troubles.
"Is Jing Chan still in Jianye?" Wang Yan asked again.
"Still." Wang Xuan replied.
"Let him come back." Wang Yan said: "There is already a rift between Maohong and Jing Chan. If Jing Chan stays, he may cause trouble. After he comes back, he will go to Jizhou with you."
"Why are you going to Jizhou?" Wang Xuan was not very happy to take this disciple with him.
"Du Tian." Wang Yan said: "Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang and other counties were hit by floods a few years ago. King Liang wanted to register his household registration. In addition, he made friends with Mao Bang of Gaoyang. He may want to enter the capital."
"Yes." Wang Xuan remembered it in his heart.
