Chapter two hundred and fifty-four means something
As the war in the Central Plains was about to break out, Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty had some thoughts. In the Song Dynasty in Tokyo, the war between the north and the south continued, and there seemed to be some opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
In order to get rid of worries, the negotiations between Lingnan and Jiangnan made new progress. Li Jia temporarily had no idea about the Southern Tang Dynasty. Also to show weakness, Qianzhou was redeemed by the Southern Tang Dynasty with 10,000 guan.
And those captured soldiers and the Divine Guards were all taken back, leaving thousands of Qianzhou soldiers pitifully abandoned.
As for war or peace, it has not yet been decided. It can be regarded as a truce. When nothing goes wrong, the war can start again. The Southern Tang Dynasty is still worried about the New Tang Dynasty in Lingnan.
Li Jia didn't care. All the elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty were beaten to the ground by the Imperial Guards in Tokyo. The rest were just some show-offs, just looking to scare people.
"War, peace -" Li Jia looked at the calm lake with a lot of emotions in his heart. The fish food scattered on the water attracted a large number of carp, colorful, vying for food, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
"These days, the courtiers can finally eat with peace of mind. I, the king and father, have been so irresponsible! The courtiers were so frightened that they even lost a few pounds!"
"Where is the saint? Although some courtiers are a little frightened, it is understandable!" Tian Zhong said softly with a smile.
"Li Jing, that fake Tang, has a big air and looks really scary!" Li Jia sneered, Li Jia has seen many people like this. Isn't this normal in these troubled times?
"By the way, his name is Chen Bing, right? I heard that he landed on the cave island, which is quite big!"
"Yes, Chen Bing is very courageous. After landing in the Bohai Kingdom, he left the merchant ship and headed north, which was full of dangers. Then he came to Heishui, and then landed on Kushuo Island. I heard that this island is two thousand miles long and wide.
It's dozens of miles away, it's very big! We have robbed some tribes and are planning to build a city!"
Wu Qing on the side answered the question in a timely manner, with a rather optimistic tone in his tone.
"Heishui Dudu's Mansion! Yuanhe was abolished in the fifteenth year. Those Mohe people have not been bathed in Wanghua for many years. They must have forgotten our Tang Dynasty!"
Li Jia sighed with emotion: "It's two thousand miles long. It doesn't take that long to go from Panyu to Jinling. It's really a huge island!"
I have always known that Sakhalin Island is very big, but this is the first time I know that it is actually two thousand miles long. Even if the estimate is not accurate, the difference of several hundred miles is still scary.
"In this case, after discovering Kushuo Island, this place will return to the Tang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as regaining its homeland! Then we will reset the Blackwater Governor's Mansion, and Chen Bing will be the governor. You, the Shesheng Division, must give it your support
, after all, it is a bitter cold place, survival is not easy!"
The emperor said this, and when he was interested, what else could the two of them say, but they could only agree. Could it be that the Heishui Governor's Mansion in the pre-Tang Dynasty was just the Jimi Prefecture Mansion, and the taxes could not be collected every year, and they even had to pay back taxes.
"The name of Kushu Island is too unpleasant. Let's change its name to Sakhalin Island!"
"As for the Blackwater Governor's Mansion, it will be difficult to re-establish it. The imperial court and the Shesheng Division should support it more!"
"promise--"
…………
The resignation papers had been submitted a long time ago, and Zhong Yunzhang had already known the outcome, so he was very calm. In the remaining days, he would hand over some official documents, sell off his family property in the city, and then return home to Yongzhou to spend his old age in peace!
Not long after Zhezi came up, the whole Panyu City knew instantly that the prime minister had retired and returned to his hometown, and he was still in his prime. There were a lot of tricks in it, and there were a lot of discussions among the people.
There are endless rumors about the incompatibility between the emperor and the minister, and Zhong Yunzhang will ignore it. However, if colleagues from the imperial court and subordinates he is optimistic about come to ask for an audience, Zhong Yunzhang will naturally have to agree.
"Enxiang, what will we do if you leave?" A young man stood up with a sad look on his face.
This man's name is Gao Wei, he is only thirty years old, and he is already a member of the imperial court's sixth rank, a minister of the Ministry of Finance. After a few years of doing some work, he can be promoted to a doctor, as long as he stands in line.
, at the age of forty you can be a minister, and becoming prime minister can be said to be easy.
"Zi Gao, I don't want to do it, but I really can't!" Zhong Yunzhang dismissed the servants, then sighed and said: "My heart has been spinning a thousand times. Although I am in a high position, I can't sit still, let alone deal with it.
It’s government affairs, isn’t this delaying the court?”
"En Xiang's words are wrong. There are very few officials in Lingnan who are better than En Xiang. If it hadn't been for the yamen a few days ago..."
Gao Wei said softly, enough is enough.
"There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have decided to go!" Zhong Yunzhang looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that he was unwilling in his heart, but the current situation did not allow it, and the emperor did not allow it! He thought for a moment and said: "Chaotang
Above, if you make a mistake at every step, you must be careful, otherwise you will make a fatal mistake and harm your family..."
"A new dynasty is about to be established, and your majesty is a heroic and powerful leader. You should use your administration carefully so that you can live up to the years of hard study in Han Chuang!"
"However, your Majesty's ideas are different from mine, and he values martial arts more than literature..."
"When the Tang Dynasty was reestablished, military force came first, so the emperor naturally valued military force. Besides, His Majesty has great ambitions..."
Before Zhong Yunzhang left, he did his best to serve these members of his party.
For Cui Quan, who is about to be promoted to Prime Minister, it is a great joy. This step makes him inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. It is worthy of joy.
However, these days, he always felt something was wrong. He did not seem to fully inherit the power of the prime minister. Even, as the prime minister, he felt that his power was being continuously eroded.
This keenness for power allowed him to immediately know where it came from - the imperial palace.
After careful analysis, especially when he ascended the throne, the imperial edict was issued openly without the official seal of Zhongshu.
Without the restraint of Zhongshu's disciples, the power of refutation has not been used for many days, and the imperial power has expanded to an unstoppable level.
If he were asked to change this phenomenon at this time, he would not dare to do so. It was beyond the power of a minister to face the emperor directly.
"Mr. En, is Mr. Zhong really going to leave and return home?"
The party members on the side also gathered together, and they were all excited about the power vacuum created by the departure of the Prime Minister.
They have already written a memorial and are preparing for impeachment, thereby vacating their positions and getting promoted and rich.
"There is no doubt that your Majesty has approved it!" Cui Quan had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was quite uncomfortable with Zhong Yunzhang's departure.
In other words, he is still a little afraid deep in his heart. Faced directly with the baptism of imperial power, he cannot make the slightest mistake. One mistake will lead to a bottomless abyss.
Everyone was overjoyed, and the joy on their faces could no longer be suppressed.
