AD 1042

Chapter 229 Hundred Official Pictures

After breakfast,

The cabinet official sent a message to the servant, saying that Ouyang Xiu had something to do and wanted to meet the emperor.

Renzong was idle in the palace for several days, and he was worried that there was no place to show his imperial power. Hearing that Ouyang Xiu was coming, he quickly spread it in.

The arched hall.

In a corner of the palace, there is a quiet and warm hall, the favorite place for Renzong to stay. On weekdays, I deal with government affairs and summon all ministers, and most of them are elected here.

The eunuchs of the hall sang loudly, and Ouyang Xiu of the Xuanyuan admonied, and the clear voice echoed in the hall, which was awe-inspiring.

The sound of footsteps came from the imperial steps, and the figure shook. Ouyang Xiu walked upright to the hall, first saluted the emperor and minister, and then stood up with his head held high and stood in front of the imperial court.

In a few days, Ouyang Xiuqing has lost a lot, and his beard under his jaw has also become white. He was born in the fourth year of Jingde of Zhenzong. He is now thirty-five years old, but how did Renzong feel that Ouyang Xiu is suddenly much older. He is not like thirty-five years old at all, but like forty-five.

So for the first time, he called the servant to move a brocade pier and said, "Sit down!"

Ouyang Xiu was shocked and politely refused. The reason was that it was against the etiquette of the king and minister. As an a edunuch, he should lead by example and could not abolish the law of his ancestors.

Renzong comforted with a smile, "You don't mind, Aiqing. I ask you to sit down and you can sit down. If you don't sit down, you will resist the decree. If you don't sit down, you don't sit down!"

"This is really..." Ouyang Xiu is also a stubborn temper, but he is not as stubborn as Wang Xianggong in the future. Seeing that Renzong motioned him to sit down, he had to sit in awe.

When Renzong was satisfied, he got up and replied, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Renzong asked with full expression, and the king's anger was self-evident.

"Your Majesty, I have made a new "Picture of Hundred Officials", please read it"

"Okay, come up!"

Although it was close at hand, Ouyang Xiu did not dare to hand it to Renzong without authorization. The servant standing aside took the "Picture of Hundred Officials" in the morning and presented it up.

Renzong thought that it seems that Fan Zhongyan also did "100 Official Pictures" a few years ago. I don't know why Ouyang Xiu did it again today. Is it a large-scale personnel change in the court?

Renzong looked at the "Picture of Hundred Officials" and didn't understand it for a moment. He was stunned for a moment. In an instant, a light flashed in the depths of his memory, and his eyes were suddenly enlightened. However, there were so many officials in the court, and Renzong really knew few. Even if he was today's saints, tens of millions of people, standing at the top of the pyramid. There are only 20 or 30 ministers who can be called by name. In addition to the people recorded in the "Picture of Hundred Officials", except for the six ministries of the two prefectures, the members of the three provinces, several celebrities of the bachelor's Academy, the chief officials of the abhors, and the bosses of the imperial history platform, the others are not the same number.

Although he knew in his heart that he must be dissatisfied with the personnel transfer, he could not see why.

I had to wave my hand, "Aiqing, come here and tell me what it means!"

Ouyang Xiu didn't care that the old skill would anger Renzong. He bowed forward, pointed to the picture, and cracked it to Renzong little by little.

"Your Majesty, look at this one. According to my understanding, he is just the supervisor of the Guangji Army, Dingtao County, but he took hundreds of people to Jeju to catch the bandits, not only to mention your majesty's forbidden army, but also lost the city. It is reasonable to be killed, but Zhongshu Province actually promoted this man's official, and asked this person to lead the army back to the Guangji Army, which is simply Let's laugh! In addition, these people, step by step and three levels, took advantage of the Bianliang earthquake and sat in Langzhong. The court of judge could not explain what their achievements they had. Weichen thought that these people were all indiscriminate, and the people who were promoted were inverted. They completely ignored the king's law. Your majesty is clear about the scale and urgency of using people, and I dare not dare to say it!"

Renzong could hear that Ouyang Xiu was pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust. He clearly said that Lv Yijian used kinshipism, and who gave Lv Yijian such great power. In the final analysis, it was him, Renzong himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still. Although he trusted Lv Yijian very much, he knew that the old man was a capable man and was not confused. If he had changed, he would appoint him to be trusted. As long as he could do a big deal well, he could use it even if he was a straw bag.

However, the emperor's thoughts are sometimes very strange. Renzong suddenly got up and opened his mouth and said, "Come on, it's said that Lv Xiang entered the palace to see me!"

The waiter immediately passed on the message.

Before Lv Yijian entered the palace, Ouyang Xiu added another fire, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do."

"Aiqing, please speak!"

"Your Majesty, Jeju's thieves occupy the city, and Yizhou is also in chaos. If you enter the court, you don't report it. The two prefectures and the secretaries all know that I'm going to impeach them for bullying you!"

"Is there such a thing?" Renzong felt that he had only been in court for a few days, and there were so many things in the world. How could Lv Xiang carry me behind his back and not let me know about such a big thing? Thinking of Renzong's anger, he roared like a lion: "Come on, tell me that Lv Xiang quickly enters the palace to see me quickly!"

The roar echoed on the vault, and it refused to leave for a long time around the dragon jade pillar like a ghost. After a long time, it gradually dissipated.

Ouyang Xiu's heart was moved, and he said Lv Xiang. I'm afraid it's difficult for you to argue this time. It's not that Ouyang Xiu is cruel, but that you are too domineering.
