Chapter 585 The founding hero, give you one last chance
Luo Yin, who was not in the tenth grade at that time, was now able to step down as a senior official in the second rank of court and enjoy his old age because Li Tianqu ordered Pi Rixiu to take the initiative to recruit, and thus fulfilled his long-cherished wish. Therefore, even though he had decided to retire, he was still full of gratitude to Li Tianqu.
However, when Li Tianqu was interested in inquiring about the current situation in the court, Luo Yin frowned and pondered, and finally bowed and said:
"I was only able to succeed and become famous after being promoted by Your Majesty. I was deeply grateful to the emperor. Even if I have returned the official edict now, I should do my best to do my best if I have the order. Therefore, since Your Majesty is asking, I should speak out..."
Luo Yin then told Li Tianqu. According to his opinion, the Wei State administrative center is operating normally and there are no hidden dangers of turmoil and chaos. However, if we have to tell the unstable factors in the court, Luo Yin believes that one of them is Li Zhen and the other is Gao Yu.
The relationship between Luo Yin and Li Zhen has always been very tense. After all, one of them was loyal to the Tang court and was very honest in their behavior. The other one was the Qingliu minister of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, when Li Tianqu was still a military governor of the vassal state, Luo Yin and Li Zhen had a few disputes due to disagreement. However, after the establishment of the Wei Dynasty, Luo Yin handled political affairs, while Li Zhen was in charge of the Honglu Temple. Most of the diplomatic matters they participated in were directly acted by Li Tianqu, so the conflict between the two did not intensify to the extent of inconsistent situation.
However, although there is no powerful minister in the court to form a clique to the extent of controlling the power, officials will more or less tend to be inclined. Luo Yin knew that his withdrawal from politics would probably indirectly lead to the expansion of Li Zhen's strength.
As for Gao Yu, he built a wide range of gardens and houses through his position. It is said that the land under his name in the capital and Heyang area reached hundreds of millions of acres, and the wealth he collected was even more difficult to estimate. Li Tianqu first thought that Gao Yu was much greedy, but he could obtain more fiscal revenue for his own forces, so he was relatively indulged in him. However, now it seems that human nature is greedy and unsatisfied, Gao Yu is greedy for luxury, and what he is doing now is a bit too much...
However, what Li Tianqu didn't know was that Gao Yu had a lot of wealth, so of course there would be many officials serving him. This also led to the censors who were in charge of Wei Zhuang's clerks and rectifying disciplines punishing several local financial officials who could work with Gao Yu. Although Li Tianqu has not yet come to Li Tianqu, the relationship between Gao Yu and Wei Zhuang, a key minister in the court, will probably only become more and more rigid in the future.
Li Tianqu's expression became more and more gloomy. It was precisely because he was a noble emperor that some things in the officialdom and the people were difficult to listen to. Luo Yin mentioned these things now, but it was not because he deliberately concealed them and did not report them. After all, Li Zhen had the intention to win over the court officials, and Gao Yu gathered wealth and attracted many officials to compete for it. However, now they cannot insist that they are responsible for forming a party and chaotic country.
Luo Yin originally asked about being honest and disdained to slander the emperor and talked bad things about his colleagues. After all, Li Zhen and Gao Yu's behavior can only be said that it may lead to the breeding of chaos in the court forming cliques and attacking each other. But on the other hand, according to Luo Yin's original philosophy, he expressed his aspirations through poetry. In his poems, he criticized the Tang court for tolerating traitors for vassal states, and mocked the Tang court for being defeated by powerful officials and officials...
What's more, now that he is about to step down and retire, he has nothing to do with the political struggle in the court since then, so he will not criticize him for criticizing his colleagues for fighting for power. Because Li Tianqu deliberately asked each other, Luo Yin clearly stated his concerns.
After hearing Luo Yin continue to report, Li Tianqu nodded from time to time, thinking in his heart that Li Zhen was a bad person and acted by any means. Luo Yin was not the only court officials who were disagreeing with him. With no pressure on the outside, according to his sinister and extremely revengeful temperament, he turned around and planned to suppress his colleagues who were disagreeable with his political views, which was also very likely;
As for Gao Yu, he had two major personality traits, the first was greed and the second was crazy. According to his original trajectory, he also encountered jealousy from many ministers, especially Ma Yin's second son Ma Xisheng was even more jealous of him.
But under that situation, Gao Yu would still say, "I have been serving the king for a long time, and I am eager to build the west mountain. I am a grown old, and my son is growing older. Is it possible that I am a man?"... I directly insulted my lord's biological flesh and blood, or was Ma Xisheng, who had already taken over most of the military power of the Chu State at that time, was a dog-like boy, but was falsely accused of rebellion and executed the Yi tribe... Although Gao Yu's original fate ended up deadly, there were reasons for his own death. Otherwise, why would the successor of the Southern Chu regime have to kill him, the founding minister who made great contributions?
Wei Zhuang was in a clean and diligent position in politics. Although he was loyal to his duties, he did offend Gao Yu. When Gao Yu's status reached a certain level, he would not take it seriously. If a colleague in the court violated his interests, he would most likely be able to take revenge and intend to expand his voice in the court.
Li Zhen and Gao Yu, according to their original fate, one should have been the ministers of Liang State but also the target of suppression by Zhao Yan and other slander ministers, until the Later Liang Dynasty destroyed the country and was executed by Li Cunxu on the crime; the other was because they offended the Sijun of Chu State very much and were framed and treasoned and committed suicide... But now they have a certain amount of power in the court of Wei State. Because of their temperament, the victims of the power struggle may not become perpetrators.
Li Tianqu just thought about it, but he couldn't help but sigh to Luo Yin:
"As my dear said, with Li Zhen and Gao Yu, it is indeed possible to form a clique for personal gain and suppress dissidents, but they have not yet established a clique and chaos in politics. I also know that our founding ministers made great contributions. Even if they are loyal to our dynasty, some people will inevitably be arrogant and arrogant...
I’m thinking of Li Zhen. Gao Yu’s hard work and great achievements before, so I will not punish him without teaching, but must be properly criticized. It’s just that human greed grows, not everyone will be as conscious as his beloved, and will not be blinded by the power he grasps... "

Later, Luo Yin retired and received an official title, and moved to the Huainan Army Yangzhou to settle down. According to Li Tianqu's order, he still enjoyed the salary and treatment of a second-rank official of the Wei Dynasty. He also distributed the pastoral residence according to Luo Yin's preferences, and there were also local government offices to assign servants and farmers to ensure that he could enjoy his old age.
Because according to the achievements that Luo Yin could have achieved, he would not only be a capable minister who assisted the king, but also a literati who left his name in Chinese history in literary creation such as poetry and prose.
Even if Luo Yin's future works may not have made future generations evaluate "poetry is famous all over the world, especially history, but it is ridiculed by many stories, and the story is the first to be the first"... But Li Tianqu was also very curious about what kind of emotion would Luo Yin make according to his experience of different fate from his original fate, and what kind of works would be left to pass on to later generations.
After all, Li Tianqu knew that in addition to the grand career he had planned after coming to this world, Chinese civilization is profound and profound, and also needs to be carried forward as much as possible based on the idea of seeking mercy.
Shortly afterwards, Qian Liu, the King of Wu Yue, learned the news of the retirement of the great ministers of the Wei Dynasty through exchanges, and also built a mansion in Xincheng County, Hangzhou, the hometown of Zhou Yin (the official history records that the Wu Yue State avoided the name of Zhu Cheng, the father of Zhu Wen of the Liang Dynasty, and changed its name to Xindeng. Later, Xindeng Town, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City) and deliberately showed goodwill to the Wei Dynasty through the hinting of the envoys;
Secondly, it was based on Qian Liu's own wishes, and expressed his attitude of respecting the virtuous and respecting the scholars to Luo Yin, a famous scholar like the world.
After settling down on Luo Yin’s retirement, Li Tianqu immediately made preparations and wanted to hit Li Zhen and Gao Yu.
