Chapter 15 The Minister of Rites!
This autumn rain quenched the anxiety caused by drought and also extinguished a huge political crisis.
If it had not rained, even if the people had already survived the crisis, there would definitely be someone taking the opportunity to achieve their political goals and start a war. As soon as this rains, many attempts would disappear silently, and it seemed that they had never existed.
Three months after Ouyang Bian's return, he eliminated the drought in Xining for seven years. Such great contributions naturally require rewards based on merit.
Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu and others each have rewards, and there are also people who have made great efforts in many practical matters, which will also make progress. As the leader, Ouyang Bian naturally needs to accept greater rewards.
There are a lot of other messy honors, but those are useless. The key is to send you official ranks and assignments.
When Ouyang Bian was given his work, he was appointed as a minister. He was sent to the Hanlin Bachelor, who was appointed as a official of the Three Departments and the head of the political affairs officer. In October, Zhao Xu issued an order to promote Ouyang Bian as the Minister of Rites.
For Ouyang Bian, who was the top scholar, although he was the youngest political officer, with his qualifications, promotion is not only not fast, but also slow.
Of course, Han Qi's contributions exist here.
Han Qi repeatedly interfered with Ouyang Bian's promotion, so that the promotion speed of Renzong, Yingzong and the current dynasty, Ouyang Bian was deliberately slowed down.
So much so that after Ouyang Bian made many great achievements, he entered the cabinet one step slower than Lu Huiqing.
But this time Han Qi couldn't object to anything.
Ouyang Bian has great contributions to saving the country. If Han Qi dares to object, then the matter that Han Qi, as the prime minister, threw the blame on Ouyang Bian, should have been revealed.
However, Ouyang Bian's promotion speed is indeed scary enough. He only worked as a teacher for three or four months before he entered the ranks of real senior officials.
The Six Ministers of the Ministry were considered to be the goalkeeper of the true high-ranking officials and prominent officials in the Song Dynasty official system.
If you enter this rank, you will be the ruling magistrate of the court.
Moreover, he, the Minister of Rites, also had his own opinions.
Among the rules for the transfer of civil officials in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there is a rule that has a Jinshi origin, a rule that has no background, and a rule that has a status to be reorganized is a rule that has a rule that has a first-class scholarship, and a rule that has a first-class scholar at the top of the food chain is another rule.
Even if you are in the ranks of consuls, there are differences.
In the early relocation, the top scholar had the advantage, and when he entered the ranks of consuls, he had obvious advantages.
Those who are in charge, whether they have a background or have no background, must start from the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works in the lower three ministries, then become the Minister of Justice and the Minister of War. They must also transition to the position of Shangshu Youcheng before they can become the Minister of the Six Ministry of Works.
It is better to be the one who is in charge of the waiting system. Although he also has to be the three ministers, he is naturally much better to be the ministers of the three ministers of the official and household rituals.
If a top scholar can achieve this status, it basically means that he has enough work ability and is valued by the emperor. Therefore, he starts as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. After becoming a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he can directly become a minister of the Shangshu. He is basically two less official ranks than other backgrounds!
So some of them have become prime ministers in ten years.
But Ouyang Bian passed the ranks of consuls from the court in three months, which still shocked many people.
Because Ouyang Bian relies on credit rather than luck, this is a bit scary.
However, looking back at Ouyang Bian's relocation, although there were several relocations due to the deaths of Renzong and Yingzong and were promoted, in terms of credit, he should have entered this ranks long ago, but someone just interfered.
Someone secretly gloats.
In the past, Ouyang Bian was not strong enough and could not compete with Han Qi, but now Ouyang Bian has also entered this ranks. It is estimated that the struggle between the two will be very fierce next.
Some people said that they put themselves in their shoes and thought about it from Ouyang Bian's perspective. If they were in Ouyang Bian's situation, they would have been furious and would have been irreconcilable with Han Qi long ago!
He was able to become the prime minister several years ago, but he was dragged into it for many years. Such deep hatred must be ended.
...
"......Han Xiang, Ouyang Bian, this son is narrow-minded and will avenge him. Han Xiang's grudge against him is not bad.
In the past, he had to compromise, but to this day, he no longer needs to endure it.
He will inevitably take advantage of the convenience of reform and grow his followers. Han Xiang is a enemies, so how could he allow Han Xiang to live above him?
He will inevitably expel Han Xiang. Not only that, Han Xiang's disciples will also be regarded as Han Xiang's gangsters being killed..."
Han Qi's face was gloomy, and Cao Qi's words were like iron hammers, and every word and sentence were like iron hammers hitting his heart.
Han Qi naturally knew that Cao Qi and Ouyang Bian had a grudge, so he naturally would not say anything good to Ouyang Bian. But what Cao Qi said was exactly what he thought. If he were Ouyang Bian, if someone had suppressed him like this for more than ten years, he would have been going to take revenge with a knife, how could he be so calm?
Such a calm person is either really a cowardly or a person with extremely deep minds. Ouyang Bian naturally cannot be a cowardly, so there is only one possibility.
and……
Han Qi thought of a possibility and his face became deeper.
Ouyang Bian is already a political affairs officer. If he wants to truly become the prime minister, someone must retreat, either Zhang Fangping or him Han Qi!
From Ouyang Bian's perspective, there is no need to choose this at all, just that is Han Qi!
What made Han Qi even more chill was that the possibility of Ouyang Bian cleaning up his disciples' old friends as Cao Qi said was not low.
Ouyang Bian is not alone. If he wants to reform, he has to plant his followers everywhere and has to install his followers everywhere. But there are so many positions where there are so many positions, and it is impossible to pull out the radish before a pit can appear. So who will pull the radish? Of course, it is Han Qi's!
Han Qi can retire himself because he is not young anymore, but his disciples cannot retire. Once all the disciples and parents are cleaned up, the power he has managed will collapse.
When Cao Qi saw Han Qi's face, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and thought to himself that there was a chance.
He had a rapport with Zhao, Zeng Gongliang and used the Southwest Incident to drive Ouyang Bian out of the court. Unfortunately, Han Qi came out later, not only did Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Gongliang return to the center and went bankrupt, but also made the Cao family destroy the land of Qingzhangmu to bankrupt.
But Cao Qi knew that Ouyang Bian was the key, and Han Qi was just picking peaches. It was Ouyang Bian, not Han Qi, who seriously damaged the Cao family's vitality.
So Han Qi can become a partner.
Before Cao Qi could speak, Han Qi suddenly asked: "What do the Cao family want?"
