Chapter 584 I'm not pretending to be confused, how dare a potential courtier come forward?
Zhang Guiba’s parents and children Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie and Zhang Hanrong were also the culprits who led to chaos in the history books of Later Liang and the collapse of the country.
If Wang Yanzhang was still used by Zhu Wen, and had been exorcist and suppressed, and the Liang State had to use him again due to the situation, he would make an indignant and bold statement that "all the treacherous ministers should be punished to thank the world." However, after hearing the news, Zhang Hanjie conspired with Zhao Yan, and said, "We would rather die at Sha Tuo than be killed by Yan Zhang."
Therefore, Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie, Zhang Hanrong and Zhao Yan, Duan Ning and others colluded with each other, trying every means to obstruct Wang Yanzhang and other remaining generals of the Liang Kingdom to resist the Constitution of the Later Tang Dynasty. This led to Liu Xu's unjust death, Kang Yanxiao ran away, and Wang Yanzhang was defeated and captured and killed... If it weren't for the treacherous ministers, even if the Later Tang destroyed Liang, Wang Yanzhang would not be able to force his life to the Liang Dynasty for a few more years.
Qin Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty, who had been infatuated for thousands of years, unjustly killed Yue Fei, at least reached a peace agreement between the Song and Jin dynasties, and temporarily saved half of the country... However, under the premise that the Later Liang and the Later Tang sides could never stop the peace, Zhang Hanlun and the three brothers were still killed by the loyal ministers and generals of the Liang Dynasty at the critical moment of the country... They were both stupid and bad at this point. According to historical destiny, it was inevitable that the Later Tang army would be killed under the Bian Bridge after the attack on Bianliang.
Li Cunxu was lenient to the surrendered ministers of the Later Liang Dynasty (of course, there was also the reason why the queen and confidants were bribed). In addition to the original design of slaughtering the Emperor of Tang, Li Zhen, who was the most dedicated to the court, had to kill him. Zhu Wen's nephew and adopted son were not only entrusted with important tasks by Kuanxu. However, the three brothers Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie and Zhang Hanrong had to be executed, which was enough to show their infamous at that time. Even the Later Tang regime, which pardoned a large number of Liang Dynasty ministers, could not accept it.
However, Zhang Guiba recommended his three sons to go to Beijing to serve as officials... Li Tianqu would not doubt his loyalty at all, but as a father, he hoped that his son would achieve something, which was normal for human beings. After all, no one would engrave the word "traitor" on his forehead. Moreover, Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie, and Zhang Hanrong were under the supervision of his father and uncle all day long, and they had never exposed their side of forming cliques and making power and harming the country.
However, these hidden dangers of disrupting politics and harming the country will sooner or later be eliminated... But after all, they are the biological flesh and blood of Zhang Guiba, the closest general. If they are not taught, they will be killed without reason. Li Tianqu said that he could not explain to Zhang Guiba after all, "Although your sons have not made any mistakes now, I can conclude that they will definitely be treacherous ministers who harm the country in the future, so they will all be killed."...
After Sifu for a while, Li Tianqu had roughly had an idea, so he ordered Jie Qing:
"And I'll tell the Ministry of Personnel that since Zhang Aiqing worked hard and made contributions, his descendants should be well-grateful. Moreover, as an example, he took the initiative to send his sons to express his unintentional intention to follow the wishes of the vassal states... Then Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie, and Zhang Hanrong came to Bianjing to take office, and they should all be assigned to be sent to officials above the fourth rank.
And I fought side by side with Zhang Aiqing back then, and now each other's descendants have to take over the important tasks of our generation. My princes... should be closer to Zhang Aiqing's three sons."
After all, in the official history, Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanlun, Zhang Hanjie, Zhang Hanrong, Duan Ning and others became more and more stupid as Zhu Wen was old, and even assisting Zhu Youzhen in attacking Zhu Yougui who killed his father and usurped the throne, he completely controlled the government and caused trouble to the country. If Zhu Wen was still harsh and smart and vicious, he would never dare to use their courage to harm the country and gain power unscrupulously.
However, Li Tianqu thought I would have a day to pass away. Potential treacherous ministers like Zhang Hanlun should have started to try to deceive the holy hearing and cause trouble to the court... But now they still dare not act rashly? What's more, if they had to take action all of themselves to clear these treacherous ministers for their descendants... Will the successors of the Wei Dynasty have the ability to distinguish other slanderous ministers who entered the court?
It seems that we should still catch thieves and kill people and get hurt when they see them. You might as well let Zhang Hanlun and others enter the court, turn a blind eye, and ignore the actions they have seen and carried out for the time being. When you see which son is easily bewitched by treacherous ministers, let them form a party for personal gain and develop their power...
Li Tianqu knew very well that as long as he was still alive, even if there were evil forces in the court, the harm to the country would be within a controllable range. Even though the slander ministers who caused power to harm the country did not dare to do too out of line, they found that the Emperor of Wei now dominates the Central Plains, and is "more arrogant" because of the good situation, and the control of the ministers in the court became increasingly relaxed. I believe that like Zhao Yan, Duan Ning and other powerful traitors in Liang Kingdom, they would begin to try to form cliques, fight against the differences, and intend to use power to control the government...
However, I am not Zhu Wen who became more and more debaucherous after I was old... Li Tianqu thought in his heart, just pretend to be confused and watch your small actions quietly, and how big a storm can be caused in the end... Until the time is ripe, he suddenly takes action to clean up the party faction supported by the evil and treacherous ministers who have long been nostalgic in his heart. Only in this way can the monsters and monsters lurk in the court be eradicated!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A few days later, another major event that attracted the attention of the ministers in the Wei Dynasty: Luo Yin, one of the important advisers in the think tank under Li Tianqu, was appointed as the Secretary of the Wei Dynasty. He wrote a letter to request his retirement and retirement.
After all, Luo Yin was born in the seventh year of Taihe (833) of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, and now he is in his seventies. He is a few years older than Pi Rixiu, the first adviser of his own power, and Wei Zhuang, who is now in a strong position.
What's more, compared with Wei Zhuang, who is energetic and still very energetic in the officialdom, if Luo Yin followed his original trajectory to the Wu Yue Kingdom, he would not let go because he was unwilling to follow Qian Liu to submit to the Liang Dynasty when Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and became emperor. He had lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou, and then stepped down and returned to the mountains and forests. On the one hand, he had the ideal of helping the world and helping the people and politicizing the world, and on the other hand, he also had the feelings of a secluded hermit. Now he is over 70 years old. Luo Yin can let go more than other civil officials who took office in his later years, so he was determined to leave the court of hard work and worrying, and indulge in the mountains and rivers to write poems and lyrics to enjoy his old age.
Li Tianqu was probably able to guess Luo Yin's idea, so he agreed to his request to retire. However, according to the etiquette and rules of the current season, the elderly officials wanted to retire and return the official edict. Even if the emperor agreed, he would openly call his beloved ministers the country and retain them. Luo Yin insisted on resigning and resigning. This was repeated several times, but in fact, both parties were like a mirror in their hearts and had to finish this superficial work, and then he could leave office and spend his old age with generous treatment as usual.
During this period, Li Tianqu summoned Luo Yin to the palace to discuss. The steaming and fragrant tea and several dishes of dried fruit had already been presented by the eunuch. Seeing that Luo Yin was now over 70 years old, his head was covered with frost, but his complexion was good and his body was still strong. It seemed that he was determined to ask for retirement. He was not because he was old and unable to handle political affairs, but just planned to abandon the heavy responsibility of the officialdom, but wanted to spend the last journey of his life without any worries.
Li Tianqu then fully respected Luo Yin's decision. The two had a great time talking, and they couldn't help but feel emotion when they talked about their past experiences. A cup of tea was over, and Li Tianqu suddenly spoke again:
"Lo Aiqing Luo has worked hard for the state affairs and has been working hard for the country so far, so he should indeed enjoy a peaceful life... And he is a person from Hangzhou. If he intends to return to his hometown, I will send an envoy to inform the King of Wu Yue. It is necessary to choose a beautiful residence for you to live in.
If you intend to live in a place where famous mountains and rivers are located under the Wei Dynasty, I will also issue an order to my beloved family. But on the eve of my departure, what do you think about the affairs of our Wei Dynasty? After all, in the future, I will never be able to propose suggestions for me. It is really a bit regretful..."
