Chapter 44 Zhao Yun's Resentment

The person who spoke was the Left Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian.

During the years when Yu Tianxi was in charge of Lin'an Prefecture, there was only one magistrate, that is, Wu Qian, who had just accumulated merits and was promoted to the magistrate of Jiankang Prefecture, a vacancies in Lin'an Prefecture, after Wu Qian was promoted, the position of Lin'an Prefecture's magistrate has been vacant to this day.

Wu Qian was the top scholar in the tenth year of Jiading (1217). With his talent and qualifications, he was a magistrate of the sixth rank of Lin'an Prefecture, which was completely useless. Therefore, after staying in the position of Lin'an Prefecture for three years, Wu Qian was promoted by Zhao Yun to the prefect of Jiankang Prefecture, the current governor of the Song Dynasty, and it was also beginning to officially enter the center of the court.

Wu Qian was promoted and left, and the position of the governor of Lin'an Prefecture as the governor of Lin'an Prefecture naturally attracted the attention of many people in the court.

Lin'an Prefecture was the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, where the imperial city was located. The governor of Lin'an Prefecture could never have as great freedom and authority as those of the local dictators. After all, it was under the emperor's nose, let alone the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, who was not the old man in the court?

But that's it, Lin'an Prefecture, as the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, may not have the authority and freedom as much as the place. However, because it is under the emperor's nose, it is possible to get close to the emperor and accumulate qualifications with good people.

Qiao Xingjian knew very well that Zhao Yun ordered the two to serve as the chief officials, the deputy prime minister of the Song Dynasty. One of them was Shi Songzhi, and the other was Li Zongmian, who had a reputation in the court.

The left and right prime ministers are often appointed, but the assistant prime minister is not. Only when needed will the senior ministers become senior ministers. And when needed, it is time for the emperor to think that the left and right prime ministers should be replaced.

After Qiao Xingjian resigned in the third year of Duanping (1236) because Duanping was defeated in Luo, he became the left prime minister. It has been three years since then. Although the right prime minister Cui Yuzhi has always been the right prime minister, he has been resigning but not accepting Zhao Yun's order.

Before the New Year, Zhao Yun joined Shi Songzhi and Li Zong to join the position of political affairs and the Privy Council. It was obvious that they had already agreed that they had taken over as the left and right prime ministers.

Not only Qiao Xingjian knew this, but also the civil and military officials in the court were also very clear about it.

Qiao Xingjian knew that at most another year, he would definitely step down from the position of Left Prime Minister. After all, there would be time buffering in the middle so that the deputy prime minister, the successor, could be familiar with political affairs and a series of processes. Therefore, Qiao Xingjian thought of making a last effort before retreating and sent a proud disciple to the position of Lin'an Prefecture as the chief judge. Everything was planned. He was waiting for the Jinshi in the Wuxu 1998 to recommend Zhao Yun after he was awarded an official position, but he never thought that Zhao Yun would directly give the position of Lin'an Prefecture's governor to Jia Sidao, who was still fucked.

It’s true that human calculations are worse than God’s calculations!

Originally, Yu Tianxi had obviously retired sooner or later because of Meng Gong's assassination. It is very likely that Meng Gong's case was the time for Yu Tianxi to voluntarily retire. When Meng Gong was assassinated, Yu Tianxi died early, which was a complete surprise for Qiao Xingjian who was about to retreat.

Qiao Xingjian resigned and the position of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture was vacant. If he could seize the opportunity to plan for an official with sufficient qualifications in his sect and give it to the position of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, and the magistrate was his subordinate, that would be too beautiful, right?

But now it seems that all plans are about to fail.

Zhao Yun severely scolded Yu Tianxi, and then asked Zheng Qingzhi to supervise Lin'an Prefecture and the Palace Front Office to thoroughly investigate Meng Gong's assassination. It seemed that he did not trust Yu Tianxi and the Palace Front Office. In fact, anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was Zhao Yun who was waived Yu Tianxi. After all, Zheng Qingzhi was in front of him, which was considered to be mostly the pressure that Lin'an Prefecture had to face. Then, with the Palace Front Office who had already made Zhao Yun unable to see him, he was accompanying him, but Yu Tianxi's guilt was reduced a lot.

No matter what the consequences of Meng Gong's incident, Zheng Qingzhi's identity was left there, and at most he would just issue an order to make a decision and it would be left alone. Not to mention that Zheng Qingzhi was an idle person who retired, and his official position had no meaning to him at all.

In this way, Yu Tianxi's time for retirement will be postponed indefinitely. Now, if you ask Zhao Yun to be the governor of Lin'an Prefecture and ask Zheng Qingzhi to give some advice, plus the huge favor that Jia Sidao sold to Yu Tianxi and his son at the Qionglin Banquet, will Yu Tianxi make things difficult for Jia Sidao? Not to mention that this is under the noses of Zhao Yun and Concubine Jia, who is already pregnant with the dragon seed again.

Two old ministers Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi were escorted Jia Sidao to make political achievements. After two or three years, Yu Tianxi really reached the age of retirement. Jia Sidao also gained enough qualifications. He was afraid that the ruling party would soon enter the ranks of officials in the border areas.

It is even possible that the Lin'an Mansion, who directly takes Yu Tianxi, is it possible that it is not possible? After all, the world belongs to the emperor, so what does a small prefect do?

The emperor's move is really high.

All the cunning officials were astonished as a mirror.

However, except for Qiao Xingjian's tactful advice and dissuasion as the Left Prime Minister, no one else was willing to come to this muddy water.

Everything happened so coincidental.

If Jia Sidao was still the same as before, although he was a little talented, it would definitely attract the opposition of a group of important officials. After all, in terms of talent and knowledge, there was still a Song Dynasty that was higher than Jia Sidao, let alone those people had much more qualifications than Jia Sidao.

But Jia Sidao, who was said to have died once and lived in the past two days, seemed to have changed his personal life, as if he had a help from God. If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow or now, if it weren't for Meng Gong's assassination, the four poems by Jia Sidao at the Seyuan Poetry Conference would have spread throughout Lin'an City.

With a reputation, there is still the thickest golden thigh of the Song Dynasty, and you have to choose the opportunity to oppose it.

"Si Dao is still young, and there is something Zheng Qing and Yu Qing that I think it's okay. Not to mention that jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. It's always good to let Si Dao be tempered. What do Qiao Qing think?" Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qiao Xingjian and said with a chuckling.

Zhao Yun was so happy at this moment. His beloved concubine was pregnant. For the past two days, she had been unable to eat well and sleep hard for her younger brother's affairs. She cried with the rain after saying a few words, which made me feel like I was not thinking about tea and meal every day, for fear of some accidents in my stomach. She originally wanted to arrange a free official position for my brother-in-law, but she didn't expect that my brother-in-law would be too proud of her. Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and immediately changed his mind and decided to give the vacant Lin'an Mansion to his brother-in-law who was hiding his weakness in front of him.

Don’t you like to hide your weakness? You don’t let me sleep well every day, so don’t think about happiness, you kid.

Zhao Yun, who consciously understood the situation, had a sharp increase in his resentment towards Jia Sidao.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Qiao Xingjian had not answered yet, but Yu Tianxi, who was crawling on the ground here, had already flattered him.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Zheng Qingzhi knew the situation and naturally knew what to do at this time, and he bowed immediately afterwards.

"Haha, okay! You guys don't have to be too polite, then this matter will be decided!"

When Zhao Yun saw that the two key figures had already responded, he waved his hand to stop the other important officials who wanted to bow to their orders and said with a smile.

I can finally have an explanation from my beloved concubine!

...

In the Jia family's study, Jia Sidao, who was reading a book, sneezed several times, which made Jia Quan'er think that Jia Sidao was cold again and hurriedly took the cloak and put it on him.

"master!"

A soft and timid cry came from the entrance of the study room at this moment.
