Chapter 992 It Looks Like This Liu Zhi Is Quite Interesting (Second Update)

Chapter 1001

"Brother, when you leave, among the old party, the only one who can be called the leader is Su Dongpo..." When he said this, Zhu Guangting smacked his mouth, feeling really uncomfortable.

Although Su Dongpo can be said to be hated by people in the old party circle, the problem is that he is an old party known to the world. Back then, Su Dongpo stood up and faced the reformers who were at their most prosperous period at that time. spray.

At that time, Su Dongpo had already become a pioneer figure of the old party, and with his talent and knowledge, together with the three heroes of the Su family, the first branch of the Shu party, Han Qi, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other old party leaders were all After death, there is already no one to take the lead.

Nowadays, only Liu Zhi, an old driver, can unite the old party bosses to compete with Su Dongpo for an even match.As for the others, hehe...

Therefore, if Su Dongpo came back powerfully, then the emperor Zhao Xu would have to clear the obstacles for him if he wanted to keep him in court for a long time, and Liu Zhi, the right minister, was the target.

And when Liu Zhi left the court, the vacated position of right minister was handed over to Su Dongpo, so it was naturally not treated lightly.

At this moment, the fine wine had already been warmed by the stove, and the appetizers had already been placed on the table. After draining several glasses of wine one after another, Liu Zhi let out a long sigh of alcohol.

"It seems that if I remain attached to you, I will definitely make your Majesty and your empress dissatisfied. In this case, it would be better for me to return home and be free and at ease like you, my dear brother."

Hearing Liu Zhi's words, Zhu Guangting was startled immediately, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not, brother, His Majesty's intentions are unpredictable now. My old party is in the government at a time when people are in panic, and the new party is eyeing it. If you resign, if something happens to the government in the future, then what we have done over the years will be If you work hard, don't you just melt water?"

"What's more, with your talents, you went to the Shaanxi Road. Although the six states on the North Shaanxi Road are not within your control, you just avoided the chance of conflict with Wang Yang, King Wushan. Without the North Shaanxi Road, There is still a lot to be done on the road..."

#####
After Zhu Guangting's patient persuasion, Liu Zhi's mood finally improved a lot. Also, there is no war on Shaanxi Road, and it is also an achievement to develop the economy with peace of mind.

Gao Taotao must have realized this time before, so he would talk to himself about the people's livelihood, economy and road traffic on Shaanxi Road.

If these can be managed well, then it will naturally be a great achievement. After all, Xixia has been hit hard now, and its control over the Western Region is already very weak. In this way, if the Silk Road is open, then the Shaanxi Road will inevitably benefit greatly.

Another reason is that what about Su Dongpo's return to the court? Although Su Dongpo's posture is majestic, the officials in the court have always been at odds with him.

Even if he is not in the court, could it be said that those ministers who have always been unhappy with this old driver Su who is a map gun level will be bewitched by him?

I'm afraid that I don't need to stay on Shaanxi Road for too long. If Su Dongpo caused chaos in the court, at that time, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty would naturally think of me.

Liu Zhi, who let go of his worries, was in a good mood, and he and Zhu Guangting ate and drank at ease, and the wine was half full before he left.

The next day, at the morning meeting, Liu Zhi finally came out of the crowd, stood under the imperial steps, and took out the memorial written by himself.

Without the instruction of the Emperor Zhao Xu, the Ma Shang Eunuch Ma knew the situation and walked over. He took the memorial from Liu Zhi with both hands and presented it to the Emperor Zhao Xu.

Liu Zhi has been observing the changes in the expression of Emperor Zhao Xu from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, after seeing the contents of the memorial clearly, the Emperor Zhao Xu showed a relieved expression. It seems that it is exactly as he and Zhu Guangting guessed Generally no two.

The reason why the emperor Zhao Xu kept dismissing the candidates non-stop was because he was waiting for his old boss to stand up and give up his position.

"This, Liu Qing, this is not appropriate..." However, even though he was very happy in his heart, Zhao Xu suppressed the dangerous smile on his face, and deliberately put on a very embarrassed expression, looking at Said to Liu Zhi.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. The old minister is a minister of the Great Song Dynasty. It is his job to serve the court. Now Xueshi Su is exhausted after a long battle. He should leave the frontier fortress and return to Beijing to report on his duties..."

Following the conversation between Liu Zhi and the emperor Zhao Xu, huge waves were soon set off in the court. Most of the ministers and workers did not expect that the current right minister and old party leader would take the initiative to ask The emperor please transfer to Shaanxi Road.

The ministers were discussing in private, and even a few ministers stood up to express their opposition. Unfortunately, before the emperor took care of them, Liu Zhi took the initiative to reprimand them and send them back to the ranks.

In the end, the emperor didn't agree on the spot, but had to think about it. When the court meeting was over, a group of old party officials rushed to Liu Zhi's side impatiently, and asked the old driver why he left at this time.

"Everyone, please be quiet, this is the courtroom where matters are discussed, don't be too noisy." Liu Zhi said helplessly.

After he yelled like this, the noise finally subsided.But a group of old party officials are still not satisfied.

"Liu Xiang, how could you do this? Now the court needs someone like you to lead it, yet you have asked yourself to leave the court. This, this..."

"That's right, could it be that something happened to you, Xiang Liu, that made you come up with such an idea, please tell me clearly, I'm willing to go through fire and water for Liu Xiang..."

"Everyone, I appreciate your good intentions. It has been several months since I mentioned that I would like to invite Xuexian Shi to return to the court. But now, the court cannot even decide on the candidate. After all, although the war on Shaanxi Road has subsided, it will eventually be ruined. If you want to be both prosperous, you must choose one who is good at government affairs and can also..."

Liu Zhi stood there and explained with great earnestness why he had submitted to this memorial and recommended himself to leave the court.

And at the back door of the main hall, after listening for a long time, Emperor Zhao Xu showed satisfaction on his face. "It seems that the emperor's grandmother has a way, and this Liu Zhi is quite sensible. At least in this way, no minister will blame me for this matter."

Ma Shang stood aside respectfully, already accustomed to Emperor Zhao Xu's frequent soliloquy.

#####
The eloquent Liu Zhi still convinced the ministers of the old party. As for the new party, it is natural that it would be best for the old party to get out of court, so he happily agreed.

However, the Son of Heaven, Zhao Xu, considers that it is the cold winter now, and it would be too inhuman for Liu Zhi to brave the snow and extreme cold to go to Shaanxi at this time.

Moreover, after the spring begins, the migration of the Xiang army will begin, so it is better to let Su Dongpo arrange everything first.

So after discussing with Liu Zhi, it was decided that Liu Zhi would leave Beijing for Shaanxi after the spring blossoms in mid-February next year.After all, this winter, there are still many important things to do.

For example, on New Year's Day, the important matter of respecting Concubine Zhu as the empress dowager as the biological mother and empress Xiang as the empress dowager as the aunt's mother should be done properly.

Naturally, Su Dongpo also received news from the court, and he was naturally happy to be able to stay for a longer period of time without having to brave the wind and snow in such a cold winter.

By the way, during this period, Wang Yang can be given more convenience, so that he can finish the basic work in the other three states as soon as possible.
