Sima Guang never thought that he would have such a day.
Thousands of Bianjing elders surrounded him and supported him all the way.
From the official road, we came to the tower of Bianjing City.
After entering the city, the gatekeepers from Bianjing City, the soldiers from Kaifeng Mansion, and even the patrolling Imperial Army, as well as the soldiers and civilians from Bianjing City, all gathered around.
Countless people crowded forward.
They all felt honored to be able to lead Sima Xianggong's horse.
This made Sima Guang's eyes turn red.
He retired to Luoyang for fifteen years and stayed in Luoyang for fifteen years.
He never thought that the people of Bianjing would still remember him, not only remember him, but also regard him as their savior.
It can be seen how Wang Anshi’s new law brought disaster to the country and the people.
It can also be seen that the new law has harmed the people to what extent?
Otherwise, why would he, a veteran official, come to Beijing and cause such a commotion?
This made Sima Guang feel excited.
It also made Sima Guang full of strength.
My parents have such high hopes.
The people of Bianjing are looking forward to it.
How can I, Sima Guang, fail me? How dare you live up to it?
The world's affairs should be resolved in our hands!
Fan Zuyu, who was next to Sima Guang, looked at Sima Guang with admiration and admiration.
Although he had known for a long time that Sima Xianggong was expected to be famous in the world.
But now that he actually saw the facts, he still felt uneasy and excited.
"This is what people want!" Fan Zuyu looked at the streets that were so packed with people that he couldn't even move.
I also looked at the back of my husband, who was slowly walking forward, surrounded and supported by countless Bianjing citizens, old and young.
He even watched the people competing to be proud of being able to lead Sima Xianggong's horse.
Fan Zuyu longed for and fantasized about it.
He can also have such a day.
"If you can do this, you will have no regrets even if you die?"
…
Inside the Imperial City.
The Empress Dowager, surrounded by ceremonial guards, slowly climbed onto the tower of Xuandemen.
She looked far into the distance, looking at the Bianjing neighborhoods in the distance.
Looking at the streets outside the inner city and west of the Bianhe River.
"Sima Gong, you have finally entered the court!" said the Empress Dowager: "I finally have a minister who can discuss state affairs!"
In the heart of the Empress Dowager, Sima Guang was the minister she recognized most, besides Duke Han Wei, Duke Fu Han and Duke Wen Lu.
the reason is simple.
At that time, in Renmiao's later years, these were the ministers who supported her husband and ascended the throne.
Moreover, the Queen Mother remembered it very clearly.
At that time, Sima Guang was just a small local judge.
But he was able to risk his own life to establish a queen for the country, and resolutely submitted a letter for the sake of the country and the country.
During the Zhiping period, it was Sima Guang who took the lead in the Puyi dispute and asked to see Cisheng Guangxian. He used the metaphor of folk mother and son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to persuade Cisheng Guangxian, and resolved the crisis of the emperor and empress invisible.
"Where has Mr. Sima arrived now?" the Empress Dowager asked Zhang Shiliang, the minister beside her.
Zhang Shiliang lowered his head and said: "Quizui, the soldiers reported that half an hour ago, we were still in Tushizi west of Zhouqiao..."
"Is it so slow?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"I am reporting to you that the people of Bianjing learned that Duke Sima had entered the capital, and they came to support him one after another..."
"So Mr. Sima found it difficult to walk on all the roads in Bianjing. It often took a long time to walk through a section of the street..." Zhang Shiliang answered with his head lowered.
"He is really a man of the world and a famous minister of the country!" The Empress Dowager was extremely satisfied.
How can a person who is supported and supported by the people not be a loyal minister, a famous minister, or a capable minister?
In particular, the police officers reported that the people gathered around Sima Guang, and many people cried and begged Sima Guang to stay in Bianjing and not to return to Luoyang.
Some people even shouted: "Please Sima Guang live for us and other people."
Such is the people's sentiments and such is the people's expectations.
The Queen Mother is relaxed and happy.
This convinced her that Wang Anshi's new law was indeed harmful to the country and the people.
Otherwise, how could the people of Bianjing be like this?
At this time, Empress Dowager Xiang also led people to climb the tower of Xuande Gate.
"The bride pays her respects to the queen!"
"Get up, Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother stepped forward and helped up the daughter-in-law who was now listening to politics behind the curtain with her, the aunt whom the emperor recognized and was close to.
"The bride heard that Duke Sima has entered the city?" Queen Mother Xiang stood up and asked.
"Um!"
"Have you sent someone to express your condolences?" asked the Empress Dowager again.
The Empress Dowager said: "I have sent Liang Weijian to comfort Mr. Sima according to my will!"
"I also issued an edict to Yousi, ordering them not to neglect important ministers of the country and famous people in the world!"
"It's better for you, your Majesty!" Xiang Yingying bowed to the Queen Mother, and then ordered Shi Deyi behind her: "Shi Deyi, you also go to condolences Sima Gong for me!"
"Be sure to convey my respect to Duke Sima!"
"I also want to inform Mr. Sima that the Emperor Daxing has been eagerly hoping that Mr. Sima will enter the court as soon as possible to assist the emperor and assist in state affairs!"
"In this world, women and children in this palace still need the help of a mature and prudent elder like Sima Gong to sort out the situation and benefit the people of the world!"
"Wei!" Shi De bowed before bowing.
He is a minister, a tool of imperial power.
Naturally, you know what you can and cannot do.
…
In the Funing Hall, Zhao Xu put his pen on the Yuan calligraphy paper and began to write.
The standard Guange regular script is written neatly.
After writing, Zhao Xu blew the ink and handed it to Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, I order you to be the imperial envoy, take this book and give it to Sima Guang!"
Feng Jing lowered his head, took Zhao Xu's handwriting, and then asked respectfully: "Do you have any holy wishes to convey to me?"
"No need to say more!" Zhao Xu said: "Everything is in this book!"
"Wei!" Feng Jinggong accepted the order and left.
Zhao Xu put down his pen and looked at Feng Jingyuan's retreating figure.
This is a temptation for him.
It was also the first time he extended his tentacles of power outwards.
Nothing else is important. What is important is that his handwritten note can be delivered to Sima Guang.
This means that Zhao Xu can also send his writings to other ministers.
Furthermore, he can use this method to accurately convey the will to the people who should convey it.
That's how power comes.
In his previous life, he ruled the world for fifteen years and ruled personally for seven years.
Zhao Xu knew very well that imperial power was realized through such transmission.
An emperor who can't even convey his will to Ouchi is just a puppet, a puppet pulled by strings.
However, once the emperor's order is issued, it can be accurately and directly delivered to Yusi's hands.
It also allows you to comply and implement it.
Then, even if you live in a deep palace, you can easily remove a prime minister, send a governor to go fishing in Yazhou, and even remove a general from his military power with an edict. With one order, you can make hundreds of millions of people in the military states follow it. run.
What Zhao Xu is doing now is the first step, to convey his voice and words accurately.
Sima Guang is his tool man.
Note: I forgot to emphasize one thing in Chapter 59.
That is, in any dynasty, including the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of imperial power transcends everything.
In the face of imperial power, any restrictions, laws and regulations are empty words!
Therefore, there is no need to worry that the protagonist will tie himself up.
impossible!
To the emperor: I don’t want you to think, I want me to feel.
When I say that the system is not destroyed, it means that the system is not destroyed. Who agrees? Who objects?
PS: There will be more at night!
