Bingyin (the third day of the lunar month) in April of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
Three days have passed since Li's case was finalized. Although Dali Temple and Yushitai are still stepping up the trial.
But Bianjing City has gradually calmed down, and maybe after a while, no one will pay attention to it.
On this day, the pier on the Bianhe River embankment outside Bianjing City.
A huge fleet slowly docked.
Before the officials at the dock stepped forward, a group of warriors holding high the Jieduzhijie banner came out of the boat.
Then two umbrellas came out side by side.
Then came another group of ceremonial guards holding fans high.
Suddenly everyone in the entire dock held their breath.
"This is... the senior ministers have returned to the capital... which one is it?"
People were talking a lot, and those with good eyes came forward to look at the banner held high.
On the red flag held high, a copper dragon head looked out in all directions.
After the Jing Festival, there are two flags painted with dragons and tigers, which are the ceremonial staffs given by the royal family.
Behind the dragon and tiger ceremonial flags are warriors holding two gate flags, a spear, and two leopard tail spears.
Standard national military envoys, rituals, guards and systems!
However, the etiquette of returning to the imperial court is different from that of Jiedushi.
These warriors holding high banners, ceremonial flags and spears did not wait for the following green umbrellas, fans and other ceremonial guards after landing.
They held their banners high and ran straight towards the imperial city of Bianjing.
This surprised countless people.
But knowledgeable people have already shouted: "This is the etiquette of the Homecoming Festival!"
"Civil ministers and envoys return to the festival, and their only choice is to serve as officials or to pay homage to the prime minister!"
"So, the person who entered the capital this time is Han Jiang Han Zihua, a veteran of the three dynasties, a minister of the Daxing Emperor's latent residence, and the Henan Prefecture!"
"Then, how come there are two parasols?" someone asked in confusion.
The green umbrella held high is the status symbol of the minister.
The man said: "I'm afraid it's not only Han Zihua who has returned to Beijing... but also the elder of the three dynasties who has been living in Luoyang and became the late Prime Minister Lu Guogong!"
…
The ceremonial guards holding high the Jiedushi banner walked directly in from the gate of Bianjing City.
No one or anything can stand in their way.
The soldiers patrolling the left and right sides of Kaifeng Mansion have all been dispatched to clear away all the vendors and obstacles blocking the way of the Yiwei.
When we encounter those illegal buildings on the road, we will directly demolish them!
Jiedu makes departure and return from the festival, which has been a national ceremony since the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, although Jiedushi became an honorary title, it was no longer actually awarded to ministers.
However, the status and authority of Jiedushi are still above all else!
Especially the civil servants who hold the title of envoy are called envoys, and their status is higher than that of the prime minister!
This is the highest courtesy the emperor can give to a minister!
It was the highest dream of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty to be granted the title of Jiedushi in life, to be given the title of king in death, and to enjoy the ancestral temple.
Zhang Dun was riding a horse and looked at the majestic team of Jiedushi Yiwei, who looked in all directions, holding high banners, dragon and tiger banners, and spears, marching through the imperial street in a mighty manner.
He sighed softly: "There will be a prime minister in the capital hall!"
I'm afraid that after Han Jiang enters the palace to face the saint today, he will be locked up in the bachelor's academy.
"Han Zihua's luck is really good!" Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh.
Who is Han Jiang and Han Zihua?
Zhang Dun knows it too well!
In the seventh year of Xining, Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister for the first time, and the person recommended to take over the position of prime minister was Han Jiang.
Then, Prime Minister Han Jiangtang was suffocated by the newly appointed leader Lu Huiqing in the political hall.
Even after ten months, Han Jiang shouted: Wang Jiefu, come back quickly!
Therefore, in February of the eighth year of Xining, Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu paid homage to the prime minister for the second time.
It was on his way to Beijing to pay homage to the prime minister that Wang Anshi wrote the famous poem "Boating the Boat on Guazhou" that has been praised to this day.
A prime minister who was suppressed by Lu Huiqing in just a few months and shouted: Wang Jiefu will come back soon.
Zhang Dun just wanted to laugh.
However, this is a good thing for him.
A prime minister with a soft personality and a good temper may be able to maintain the general system since Xining under the current political situation.
…
Wen Yanbo is riding on the horse.
Although he is already in his seventies this year and will soon be eighty.
But he was in good spirits, and there weren't many wrinkles on his face.
Even when riding a horse, he is very stable and does not feel any discomfort.
His son Wen Yiqing, an official in the capital, rode closely behind him on horseback.
Bianjing City is already in sight.
Wen Yanbo looked back and saw Han Jiang riding a horse behind him.
He smiled slightly.
"Han Zihua, your body is not as good as mine, how can you still adapt to the government affairs in the capital? Why don't you go back to Luoyang with me to practice Zen and chant sutras after meeting the saint, and be happy?"
Han Jiang just smiled and held his hands on the horse: "Of course I can't compare to the master!"
"It's just that Emperor Daxing has not repaid his kindness, the young master is young, and the two palaces need the assistance of veteran ministers for state affairs, so he ordered someone to go to Beijing to assist the young master..."
"Dare you resign?"
When Han Jiang returned to Beijing this time, he came to prove himself.
In the eighth year of Xining, he was completely defeated in front of Lu Huiqing.
But there is no Fujianzi in the capital now!
He is far away in Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong!
As long as Lu Huiqing, a Fujianese, doesn't come back to Beijing and cause trouble for him, Han Jiang feels that she will definitely be able to make a difference this time!
Moreover……
He will soon be seventy years old, and will soon reach the legal age of becoming an official. If he does not take advantage of this last opportunity to enjoy the glory of prime minister again and leave a political legacy to future generations, what else can he do?
"Haha!" Wen Yanbo ignored Han Jiang.
The three Kunzhongs of the Han family.
Han San (Han Jiang) favored the new law, but also agreed with the old party's views.
Han Wu (Han Wei) favors the old party, but he also thinks some of the new laws are good.
Han Liu (Han Zhen) fully supports the new law, but thinks it needs to be adjusted.
Everyone in the Han family is slipperier than the other!
Co-author, regardless of the success or failure of the new law, can your Han family remain standing?
Moreover, this Sankunzhong was the one who single-handedly brought Wang Anshi into Bianjing City.
Especially Han Wei...
Don't forget that Han Wei fell out with Wang Anshi after the reform.
But back then, this was the man who praised Wang Anshi in front of Emperor Daxing every day!
"When I enter the palace and meet the two palaces, I will definitely have a good talk with them..."
"Emperor Daxing has already regretted it!"
"You should work hard to put an end to those methods that harm the people!"
…
Inside Funing Hall.
Zhao Xu is studying under the guidance of the Queen Mother.
I have almost finished two-thirds of the book "Gu Liang Chun Qiu".
So, both palaces are planning, what to read next?
Left pass? Or Gongyang Chunqiu?
Rams Spring and Autumn are the first to be eliminated!
reason?
Gongyang Xue, who shouts and kills every day, is really not suitable for the benevolent, filial and honest emperor to watch.
This is not only the opinion of the two palaces, but also the opinion of the two Hanlin bachelors, and even the opinions of the courtiers!
When the emperor is young, he should read more of the scriptures of saints and their words of kindness and forgiveness.
It is better not to let the emperor be exposed to nonsense and myths like Gongyang Chunqiu that have long been swept into the garbage heap of history at such a young age.
Zuo Zhuan was also abandoned in the subsequent discussion.
The reason is that everyone thinks that the emperor has already read Gu Liang. If Zuo Zhuan is taught again, once the teaching is completed, the emperor may take the initiative to read Gongyang himself!
terrible!
Gongyang's superstition and backwardness are really rotten Confucianism!
Therefore, the Ministry of Rites said that the emperor should be allowed to read Mencius.
The officials from the three provinces strongly recommended the emperor to read "Xunzi".
The suggestions from the three provinces were first ignored.
Because you still don’t know what the two palaces can do after reading Xunzi?
Xunzi is followed by Yang Xiong. After reading Yang Xiong's article, are we going to teach Wang Anshi the new meaning of the Three Classics?
Don’t even think about it!
But the two palaces didn't like Mencius very much, because Wang Anshi admired Mencius, and the two palaces hated him!
Fortunately, today, two senior ministers and important ministers of the country are returning to Beijing.
In particular, Wen Lugong and Wen Yanbo assisted the emperors Renmiao, Yingmiao and Daxing.
Both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang respected him and trusted him.
With this veteran here, both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother felt that they would have a backbone in the future.
Mother and son, one teaches and the other reads.
Soon, today's homework is almost done.
Zhao Xu raised his head, looked at the Empress Dowager, and asked: "Mother, I heard that one of the elders of my father's empire has returned to the court today?"
He nodded to the Queen Mother and said to Zhao Xu: "These two people who came back are ministers and elders of the country that both the Queen Mother and Queen Mother respect!"
"Especially Wen Lugong and Wen Yanbo, together with Han Qi, Han Zhongxian Gong, Fu Bi Fu Wenzhong Gong, Fan Zhongyan and Fan Wenzheng Gong, etc., were the gentlemen of the Renmiao Dynasty..."
"That's it!" Zhao Xu suddenly showed admiration in his eyes: "You must ask him carefully about the governance of the country!"
Queen Mother Xiang laughed: "My son will be able to see Duke Wen Lu today!"
"When the time comes, you can personally consult Duke Wenlu on how to govern the country!"
"My mother believes that Duke Wen Lu will be happy to teach my son his decades of political experience!"
"Then who is the other elder?" Zhao Xu asked.
"This other one was the late minister of Emperor Daxing!"
"Is it the same as my father's plan to make Master Deng his son?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Yes!" Queen Mother Xiang touched Zhao Xu's head and introduced softly: "Now, the Queen Mother and Mother-in-law have recalled him from Henan Mansion to use this elder's understanding and familiarity with national affairs to assist him. My son will bring peace to the world!"
Zhao Xu then nodded and said: "This requires even more respect!"
"The prime minister is my arm. Now that the senator has taken the trouble to come to Beijing, I should send an envoy to express my condolences!"
"What do you think, Queen Mother?"
Looking at Zhao Xu's innocent and cute look, he said to the Queen Mother with great satisfaction: "Since my son is willing to send an envoy to comfort the elders, then let's do it!"
"However, you can't favor one person. Since you want to express your condolences, let the two elders express their condolences together!"
"It just so happens that last time my son gave Sima Gong some writings with his royal pen. Not only Sima Gong was very grateful, but also everyone in the government and the public praised my son for his ancestral legacy and his ability to treat important ministers of the country well!"
"This time you might as well send down two imperial pens to encourage the two elders!"
"Is that so?" Zhao Xu pretended not to understand and asked, "Ke'er doesn't know the deeds of these two elders, so why should the queen mother give advice on how to encourage them!"
As soon as Zhao Xu said this, Queen Mother Xiang became energetic.
She has now become obsessed with guiding Zhao Xu in handling military affairs.
So he smiled and said, "Okay! Mother will teach you later!"
More than 10,000 words today!
I am confident and seeking for determination, and I am asking for a monthly ticket ~ I am rolling all over the floor.
