Chapter 18 Zhao Shu's Mind
Fu Bi said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is stupid and straightforward. He has never dared to do anything wrong in his life. He is loyal and sincere when he was in advance, and has also faced colleagues. Although the late emperor knew that his ministers were devoted to the country and ignored other people's resentment and anger, the same party was very disliked. Those who did not like it would instigate the people of the disciples to write about right and wrong and betray the ministers before the late emperor. Today, there are many people who slander the ministers among His Majesty's servants.
Fu Bi's words are a bit shameless.
If you don’t do things, you won’t attract people to hate them. Once you do things, you will attract people to hate them.
Compared to Pang Ji and Lu Yijian, he is far behind him, otherwise the court behind Renzong would not be so abandoned, and all kinds of ills would not deepen. Maybe there is a forced gentleman style, but Wang Ju will definitely not agree with it. You are the prime minister, but you are not a gentleman. What is the prime minister’s first priority? Do things! Make the country prosperous and strong. If you want to be a gentleman, go back to Luoyang and do not stay in the position of prime minister!
But his words are something in his words.
Can his good old prime minister make that person dislike him?
There is only one person, because he is the prime minister, so he can't be the prime minister. Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne and returned to the court again, and he became the Privy Councilor of the Western Prefecture. In addition, he rarely speaks, who else can't stand him?
There is only one person, and the official position does not hinder someone, but prestige does not hinder someone.
Although Zhao Shu was a bastard, this sentence should be understood. Fu Bi said again: "I am serving Your Majesty as if I were in advance. I have no hidden thoughts, but the Tao follows it."
I only follow the truth, but I will not follow the truth. Fu Bi also felt that he was too rude, so he changed his words: "Your Majesty also knows that my deeds and deeds are always protected by Your Majesty. I am now away from Your Majesty. I respect the saints and no worries, but I am just worried that slander cannot be avoided. If there is any, I would like to ask the saints to check the truth of the words he slandered. If I am not unreasonable, please protect your Majesty and envoy them all the time. If I leave due to illness, even if I die, I will be punished under the sacred fountain."
Don't think he will be safe after getting off.
When Lu Yijian was removed, the gentlemen continued to pour pots of stinky water on his head.
Fu Bi knew very well about this past. He was involved himself.
But that was Zhao Zhen alive, so don't worry.
How does the emperor compare with Zhao Zhen today? Although this emperor is sick, he is only in his thirties and can live for a long time. During this time, Han Qi must have been the prime minister. If Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu continue to pursue him relentlessly, it would be bad. Especially Ouyang Xiu's pen, Fu Bi is really afraid.
"Fuqing, go with confidence." Zhao Shu said.
Fu Bi was overly worried.
Zhao Shu is a meat-rolling knife, but not an idiot. In fact, as long as Fu Bi doesn't say anything or object, even if he doesn't support Pu Yi, he can stay in the position of Privy Councilor.
But Fu Bi insisted on showing one, two, three, and there were more than twenty signs connected. Zhao Shu could not guarantee him. Then he agreed to leave the capital.
Fu Bi walked out of the palace.
Fu Shaojing and Fu Shaolong came up and said, "Father, what do you say about the official?"
"Saying your farewell, what can the officials say?" Fu Bi shouted.
One thing that is clear is that if the emperor wants to deal with Pu Yi, if he doesn’t support him, can the emperor still try to keep him?
Fu Shaolong said: "I heard the order from the palace to release 180 palace servants."
"What's so strange about this? Taizu lets go. Taizong lets go, Zhenzong lets go, Renzong lets go, too." Fu Bi said rudely.
"But that's not the case..."
"That was the concubines of the late emperor, some of whom were much smaller than the official family. How could they be placed in the palace? Wouldn't the official family be embarrassed?"
It seems to be the reason.
Zhao Zhen wanted to make a son in his later years, so he took on some young and beautiful concubines.
Zhao Shu did not move in the first year of his succession. Because of the changes brought by Wang Ju, the first year passed quickly, and the second year did not move, and this year it moved. The group of palace maids released include Zhao Zhen’s beautiful concubines.
Fu Bi seemed to make sense, but it was unreasonable. No matter what, let ordinary palace maids be released, but they were Zhao Zhen's concubines, and Zhao Zhen had not died for a long time, and the court did not send anyone to settle them, so they sent them all out, which was a bit cold.
But Pu Yi has come out, who cares about the life or death of a few concubines?
So Fu Bi returned to Luoyang.
It's not bad. Others are in Luoyang for retirement, but their family is not in Luoyang, and their family is in Luoyang. Such an ending can be considered as the beginning and the end.
After Fu Bi was given up, Zhang Bi continued. He only wrote seven words, and Zhao Shu allowed it.
"Zhigui, both Privy Councilors have left, and the Western Palace cannot be short of people." Zeng Gongliang said.
The Xifu made Han Qi empty, and there were not many rights in his hands. However, on the surface, he had to do it, and the rights could be empty, but he could not let the Privy Councilors be vacant.
"Ming Zhong, who do you want?"
"It's far away, it's near before you."
"You mean Uncle Yong?"
"Who else can be competent except him?"
Han Qi nodded.
Ouyang Xiu has this qualification and is critical to the fact that Ouyang Xiu is "his own person". As long as Ouyang Xiu takes over the Western Palace, the East and West Palaces will be integrated from now on.
The two were about to submit the presentation to Zhao Shu, but Ouyang Xiu heard the news and said to Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang: "Today, I am in the Liangyin period (referring to the 27th month of great filial piety period). The state government has many commissions in the two governments, and the position of two and three ministers is the minister. How can I show the people of the world?"
This sentence seems to be a general word, so it was soon spread. We are all a group of people who are not interested in power. Look at how wise Ouyang Xiu is.
It even came to be said that today, the son Liangyin, the mother was behind the curtain, and the two and three ministers were in charge of their own position, so how could they show the people of the world?
It's outrageous!
Time is wrong. Empress Dowager Cao pulled the curtain, and Fu Bi and Zhang Feng were still in the Western Palace. There were not enough two Privy Councilors, so three Privy Councilors came? Why did they pull the mother's back curtain?
But what to do?
Because of Pu Yi, people all over the world now say that they are greedy for the powerful and shameless, and Ouyang Xiu refused to be appointed as the Privy Councilor, so of course he had to use it to promote it.
However, Ouyang Xiu did not mean this.
Why did Fu Bi say goodbye after more than twenty times and then secretly tell Pu Yi to say goodbye, and Zhao Shucai had to agree to let Fu Bi go?
Power. Originally, Zhao Shu was not in good health, and almost 90% of major military and political affairs were handled by the prime minister. Now even the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture is controlled by Ouyang Xiu, so what else can Zhao Shu do?
What is the difference between this and Li Linfu back then? It’s just that Li Linfu is one person, Han Qi is a few people, is there any difference between the others? What would Zhao Shu think?
So Zhao Shu was determined to urge Wang Chou, but the minister couldn't understand it. He didn't know what Wang Chou and Zhao Shu said that night, which made Zhao Shu feel moved. But standing on a high place, he could figure it out. It was unclear what he said that night, but Wang Chou must have expressed allegiance to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu also had to call on his confidants to the stage, so Wang Chou was promoted to the throne.
Unfortunately, Lao Wang was not good enough and died of illness within a few months. Zhao Shu plucked the sword and looked around in a daze. With his various actions, many ministers were dissatisfied. Pu Yi's dispute had to rely on Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. This was why he had to continue to reuse Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. But can it be said that Zhao Shu had no idea at all?
Besides, the Xifu has no rights now, and Xixia is invading again, which is not a good job.
The wind quickly spread, and Zhao Shu summoned Ouyang Xiu into the palace and said, "Ouyang Qing, the Prime Minister of the Western Palace is vacant. How about I want to use you as the Privy Councilor?"
When he was scheming, Zhao Shu could not match Ouyang Xiu at this time. At that time, Ouyang Xiu thought to himself, what else do you want to use if you want to use me? Just issue an edict directly. He didn't want to take over the Western Mansion. He would never take over the Western Mansion now.
So he repeatedly declined.
Zhao Shu persuaded him, don’t take this seriously, you are the ministers, I have given you face, but you don’t want it, so I have to look for someone else.
In fact, he had a candidate in his heart.
Therefore, Ouyang Xiu refused in front. Later, Zhao Shu transferred Wen Yanbo back to the Western Prefecture. As soon as Wen Yanbo's filial piety period was over, Zhao Shu immediately recalled Wen Yanbo back to the capital. However, at that time, Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang in the Eastern Prefecture, and Fu Bi and Zhang Bing in the Western Prefecture. Zhao Shu had no choice but to give Wen Yanbo the position of Yongxing Army.
But after the instructor was issued, the two of them also said some secret words in the palace.
Zhao Shu first said, "I am here, and I am your power."
Wen Yanbo understood and implicitly said: "Your Majesty is the intention of the late emperor and the empress dowager. How dare I take it?"
Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are shameless, and the benefits have been gained. Even if they are shameless, they will not be able to gain benefits. It is better to keep a righteous deed.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to say again: "I will start to discuss it. You have to be kind to me."
Wen Yanbo refused.
Zhao Shu simply made it clear and said, "I'll be called back when I'm just going west."
You don't want to leave, this Zhiyongxing Army is just like that, but Wen Yanbo must not leave. Is Han Qi a simple person? As long as he stays in the capital, Han Qi can immediately see that the three important officials of the country, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, so he suppressed Fu Bi in order to monopolize the power, but he would not suppress himself? Fu Bi can pose a threat to Han Qi, and he can also threaten Han Qi's status.
As long as you don’t leave, it will be the end of Xia Shun when he doesn’t do it well.
Therefore, Wen Yanbo left the capital in a high profile and went to Chang'an. However, he walked so slowly on the way. Zhao Shu's edict was only a thousand miles away. He had not yet reached Chang'an. He accepted the edict and returned to the capital immediately.
Lu Gongbi gave Ma Eng, who was his own person, and immediately promoted him from the Sansi Envoy to the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council. Han Wei was his son's teacher, so he promoted Han Wei's brother Han Jiang first to the prefect of Kaifeng, and then to the Sansi Envoy.

"Han Gong, Zeng Gong, look at it." Ouyang Xiu took out two memorials.
One was written by Cheng Kan, and the other was written by Sun Changqing.
Cheng Kan's memorial was written by Wang Ju. This was a rule for supervision, so it was handed over to the East Mansion. At that time, the court did allocate some money, and it was not that everyone was inaction. However, some misunderstandings arise, thinking that a young man and a group of villagers could get out the Taoxi sword, how much more could it cost?
This idea must be wrong. First, it does cost a lot of money. Look at how much money is invested in a bamboo paper for research and development? Second, no one knows it very well, and the more he doesn’t understand, the more he uses it, the more he will spend. In addition, he has insufficient funds, so there is still little progress.
The second part is ruled by the West Mansion, but the power of the West Mansion was undermined, and Han Qi of the East Mansion was the strong master, so Sun Changqing also handed it to the East Mansion. Including those things, he was also careful to send someone to the capital.
But when he arrived at the East Mansion, Ouyang Xiu was detained. (To be continued)
