Tan Jun personally hosted a banquet for Yang and his family, which also made Luyuan girl busy. Her newly recovered back injury relapsed, but she still managed to hold on until everyone was "drunk and drunk." , After returning home satisfied, it’s time to go back to the house to rest for a while.
Sisters Cong Cong and Yangliu'er had not seen each other for many years, and they couldn't help but sit and talk with each other at night, unwilling to go back to sleep. Wang Dan and Hun Xi hadn't seen each other for a while, so they just drank together until dawn. Yang Zhen chatted with Wang Chang all night, but also stayed up all night.
The children of Wang Xiang and Yang Zhen also slept together. The children were playing around, but once they fell asleep, they all "ran out of power" in "one second" and fell asleep directly. Hun Xi's wife and Tasha arranged the children one by one, and then tucked them into quilts. Looking at the three cute little faces, which were extremely fresh in the candlelight, Tasha pointed at Hun Xi's wife's belly and said :
"Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have it too!"
This night, everyone completely let go of the worries they had accumulated over the past few days. It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, until the rooster crows and the sky lights up.
They are temporarily "peaceful" here; but over there in the Song Dynasty, it is not so "peaceful".
The three consecutive attacks of "capture," "escape," and "burning" brought chaos to the territory of the Song Dynasty for no reason. Hundreds of lives were lost, and battle damage occurred that was not a battle. Moreover, Mostly due to "internal strife" and "accidents", this caused a huge political turmoil among the people and the court of the Song Dynasty.
First of all, it is difficult for the figure at the center of this "political whirlpool": Xiang Xu, to give a reasonable explanation to the government, the public, and the people.
If he hadn't ordered a team of people to "receive the prisoners" that day, so many people would not have died; it was clear that the Hua Clan Ancestral Hall was about to monitor and deal with the prisoners according to the laws of the Song Dynasty; , which even made Song Jun waver about the appointment of Xiang Zhengqing.
After losing the convict and destroying the Hua family of Zongyuan, Hua Yuan's faction could not tolerate his subordinates. They were so mentally retarded that they ate and drank with the thieves and called them brothers. In the end, they were betrayed and helped Count the money!
So in the court, the six ministers of the Song Dynasty collectively launched an attack and put all the blame on Xiang Xu. They unanimously believed that his talent was in trouble and asked him to remove himself from the official position of "zhengqing".
Xiang Xu is not a fierce person at first, but faced with such a concentrated firepower and fierce "attack", he had no choice but to use the "opponent's method" to respond to the "opponent".
"Yang Zou, is this person dead or alive? How can he explain the resurrection of the dead? Is the responsibility for it related to what he did during my tenure? Wang Dan's family has been arrested. How can this case be established? If it is because of a To convict a person whose 'life or death' is unknown is to build a tower on the sand and baseless talk? Since Wang Dan's family was innocent and was implicated, they were mistakenly arrested and misjudged, and the blame was placed on the guest? After arresting him, he neglected his duty in custody and was disgraced. House, could it be that I sent people to operate it? What's more, my beloved general did not die on the battlefield, but died from an arrow on the gate of the "Fahrenhe Forbidden Garden". How can I hold you responsible for such a huge loss to the country? Until the suspect was searched, an unknown fire occurred, and countless casualties occurred. The loss of such characters was not only due to the small number of soldiers, but also the general was unknown. The suspect's location, four teams of men and horses, and the elites of the three tribes, could be traced out. ', 'Zhi Ying'? - Counting them one by one, I am afraid that all of you are responsible for me, and I am afraid of being biased. How can this be unreasonable!"
Xiang Xu's self-defense, every word was a fact, every point was an opinion, and every word was a position. The courtiers who were filled with indignation just now and came to the table to consult him looked at each other and were speechless.
"My lord! According to my opinion, the Song Kingdom is in great danger today!"
After speaking to the following, Xiang Xu turned to Song Jun again and continued to express his opinions:
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Looking at the existence of the Song Dynasty among the powerful powers, it has survived for a hundred years, all thanks to the hard work of the ministers for many years, assisting the Song lords from generation to generation, and the majesty of our Song Dynasty has never wavered. . The chaos in this period, as seen in the case, seems to be due to the lack of strict laws and irregularities in people. Going deeper, it is actually caused by uneven power and secret disputes among ministers. In order to eliminate this trouble forever, If the country is harmonious and the people are safe, I would like to ask the old minister to preside over the revision of the "Song Code" to turn chaos into clarity. Let the struggle for power be divided into powers. Those who have power will be responsible; those who have no power will not be held responsible. In this way, each minister's family can be Everyone is in their own place, their actions have something to rely on, and their words have something to support. This is a great plan for long-term peace and stability, please give me your approval!"
As soon as they heard that the law was going to be revised, the people below started talking about it: some were in favor and nodded in agreement; some were against, shaking their heads and criticizing; and some were neutral, such as Hua Yuan, Right Master, holding his own Wat Ban, his face expressionless, remained motionless.
The monarch of the Song Dynasty looked down and saw that Hua Yuan's right master's aura was like a "magic needle that fixes the sea" and his attitude of being unmoved by others gave him a little confidence, so he began to clear his throat and replied:
"I think what I said to you is very good! --- However, revising the "Song Code" is a major matter. It requires talents who are proficient in the law to mobilize from all parties and unify the changes to be made before we start. That's good. However, it also takes a lot of time. Such a project, the time and energy consumption will not be measured in one or two days. Please also be patient, my dear, don't be impatient! Take your time and consider the long term. !”
As Song Jun spoke, he kept glancing at Hua Yuan with his eyes. Seeing that he was still indifferent, he became more determined and strengthened his tone to finish:
"Today's discussion ends here! Please go back to your mansion to rest, everyone returns to their respective positions, and then go to court!"
Seeing this "neither soft nor hard" soft nail, Xiang Xu rejected his suggestion. Although he felt unhappy, he could only follow the etiquette and lead his ministers to salute the Lord and watch Song Jun escape first.
"Alas! How about this? Will everyone die in vain?"
"It's possible, brother, think about it, is it my words that make the difference?"
"Hua Yuan didn't say anything. Isn't it too arbitrary to ask Zhengqing?"
"Even if you're going to be bitten, you won't bite back? You're forced to have no choice!"
"I want to remind you, who of the Huan family and the Hua family will have the last laugh?"
"Why don't you put pressure on the current emperor? After all, I am the 'master' and I am the 'subordinate'? I don't distinguish between the priorities and the priorities. You are really stupid, you!"
…
The officials who went to court left one by one while muttering their own opinions. Some of these trivial words reached Xiang Xu's ears, and he listened to them all in silence. take note of it.
