It took a lot of effort on the part of the Empress Dowager to finally calm down the Empress Dowager's anger.
When Empress Dowager Xiang saw that the Empress Dowager had calmed down, she stayed with her for another conversation, and did not say farewell until the Empress Dowager returned to normal.
However, early the next morning, Gao Zunhui, the Empress Dowager's uncle, sent a message requesting an audience in the palace.
Naturally, someone tipped off the news.
Originally, it was the Empress Dowager's other nephew Gao Gonghui who entered the palace.
However, Gao Zunhui was not as trustworthy as Gao Gonghui. He always felt that Gao Gonghui was too young and did not act confidentially, fearing that there would be omissions.
So, he entered the palace himself!
Because of this matter, he has direct contact with Gao Zunhui.
Two days ago, the Empress Dowager had just issued a decree to elevate his position from the insignificant Yuan Wailang of the Ministry of Works to Yuan Wailang, the Right Division of the Ministry of Personnel.
This is very oily.
Even if he is not greedy and does not take anything, the minister's money in the small treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is enough for him to spend his days and nights.
What's more, in addition to granting notes to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, according to unspoken rules, all the officials' filial piety can be distributed among the top and bottom.
Over the course of a year, Yousi Yuanwailang will be able to distribute at least several thousand guan.
It was enough for him, Gao Zunhui, to visit Master Li's Xianggui once more every month.
I have to say that this generation of Master Li is indeed very smooth!
Gao Zunhui thought of the time she spent with Xing Shu in Master Li's boudoir last night, and couldn't help but lick her tongue - Don't think Gao Zunhui is the uncle of the Empress Dowager, in fact he is a little younger than the Empress Dowager, it is Lao Dang Yizhuang , the age of being poor and getting stronger.
Everyone in Xingshu praised him - Uncle Guo, he is really a great man!
After being led by the ministers, I arrived at Baoci Palace and saw the Queen Mother sitting behind the curtain.
Gao Zunhui immediately bowed respectfully twice: "Old minister Zunhui, I wish the Queen Mother long blessings!"
"Uncle, there is no need to be polite!" said the Queen Mother in the curtain, and ordered the people around her: "Hurry up and give your uncle a seat!"
"I don't dare..." Gao Zunhui bowed again: "A minister is a minister, and a king is a king. The Queen Mother is protecting the official family and supporting the young master. She is the Holy Mother of the world!"
"How virtuous and capable I am, that I dare to be the 'uncle' of the Empress Dowager?"
The Gao family is very familiar with this empress dowager.
Always able to accurately find the most comfortable spot for the Empress Dowager.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Gao Zunhui's humble appearance and said: "Now we are in Baoci Palace, not in the court. Uncle, you don't have to be formal!"
"Even in private, the Empress Dowager is also the king..." Gao Zunhui carefully sat on the chairs moved to the left and right, then respectfully took out a thank you form from his hand and presented it in his hand: "I am entering the palace this time. It’s also for official business…”
"oh?"
"The day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager favored an old minister and promoted his useless body to serve as the right-hand doctor for the Ministry of Personnel..."
"I am sincere and frightened. I am just a pedantic person with a useless body in Bianjing. How can I dare to rise above all the sages and live among the gentlemen of the world?"
"What's more, there are many disputes between the government and the public... If this damages the virtue of the Queen Mother..."
"Old minister, death is inevitable!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand high to express his gratitude: "Therefore, I sincerely ask the Empress Dowager to take back her life!"
The anger of the Empress Dowager in the curtain, which had subsided, rose again!
She barely held it down, took a deep breath, and sighed: "I just promoted my uncle from the position of a member of the Ministry of Works to a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Do I have to control those people?"
Gao Zunhui said respectfully: "There are fierce disputes between the government and the public... not to mention... there are still people who compare Chen and Zunyu together..."
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound in the curtain!
Gao Zunhui raised his head and saw that the Queen Mother had stood up.
"What else did they say?" The Queen Mother was already furious!
Gao Zunyu defeated Lingzhou City, and Emperor Daxing has already punished him!
Since she took office, she has not been favored or restored.
Those people are still refusing to let go!
What do they want to do?
Forcing me to kill my own uncle?
Are you comparing Gao Zunyu and Gao Zunhui together?
What do you mean? Does this mean that we, the Gao family, are the ones responsible for bringing disaster to the country and the people?
That's all Gao Zunyu, he did make a mistake.
But he also knew he was wrong! I have been shut up for these years, reflecting on myself at home. A few days ago, I wrote a letter to apologize, saying: I have committed a heinous crime, failed the emperor's kindness, failed the empress, and begged the empress to issue an edict to reprimand me, thinking that I would be a warning to those who come late in the world!
Why can't you let him go?
Now, even my other uncle is not spared...
unacceptable!
The Empress Dowager was so furious that she immediately said: "Come here, please convey my instructions to Gao Zunyu's house..."
"Gao Zunyu, the deputy envoy of the Yingzhou regiment training, was restored to the right to guard the general, and he was promoted to the West Taiyi Palace!"
General Youtunwei is a sanitation officer and a consolation prize for the clan.
However, it can also be turned into a ladder at any time to transfer from sanitation officer to military minister.
This is the beauty of application, it comes from one mind.
"As for my uncle..." The Empress Dowager sat down again and contained her anger: "You can rest assured and be an official in the Ministry of Personnel... As long as you obey the law and abide by the laws of your ancestors... Even if others say it, you can't touch your uncle..."
"Yes..." Gao Zunhui immediately bowed before bowing.
The moment he lowered his head, a smile spread across his lips.
Do you really think that these relatives are just living for a living?
hehe!
They may not be able to do much, but they are more skilled than the other at making things difficult and stumbling for others.
"I want to ruin my family's future..." Gao Zunhui said in his heart: "I'll cut off your future first!"
How dare you stop the Gao family from getting promoted and making a fortune?
Inverted!
Today, let the scholar-bureaucrats from the foreign court know what a foreign relative is!
In order to prevent those scholar-bureaucrats from always making comments about the Gao family.
…
When Gao Zunhui walked out of Baoci Palace.
By coincidence, Xiang Zongliang also left Kunning Hall.
Two foreign relatives met on Donghua Royal Street.
They looked at each other, then bowed to each other.
"Old Uncle Guo, how is the Empress Dowager?" Xiang Zongliang asked at the moment when he was in the wrong body.
Gao Zunhui stopped and said: "The empress is a holy virtue, I am grateful to you, and I will not allow the old minister to resign..."
Then he asked: "Where is Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother?"
Xiang Zongliang cupped his hands in front of Funing Hall and said: "The official sage has insight into thousands of miles, how can I allow Xiaoxiao's slanderous words to deceive me!?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, both proud.
Since Taizong, has it been easy for relatives to make some money?
Those scholar-bureaucrats from the outer court like to stare at them when they are full and have nothing to do.
Forget it makes sense.
Things that obviously don't make sense are forced to be blamed on them.
Do you really think that your relatives are all good at clay sculpture?
hehe!
When pressed, my cousin can really bite!
Once you bite, you won't let go. You must bite something before you give up.
Back then, Wang Jiefu, a stubborn man, was punished by us several times.
Now, you, Sima Guang, a minister who has not even entered three provinces and two governments, dare to point fingers at us?
I really want to wait for you Sima Guang to enter the three provinces and two governments, worship the governor and even the prime minister.
So what good days do we have?
You don’t want us to live a good life, so why should we give you face?
…
In Xuanpingfang, Bianjing City, Zhang Maoze's residence is located.
Zhang Mao handed a personal letter from him to his adopted son Zhang Xun.
"Set off immediately, follow the official road to find Mr. Sima, and be sure to hand the letter into Mr. Sima's hands!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xun knelt down and kowtowed: "My son understands!"
"Go!" Zhang Mao waved his hand and said.
He is really tired now.
Sima Guang is fine, why can't he think of bringing trouble to the two palaces?
Is the matter of relatives so easy to get involved in?
Even when Renmiao was alive, Han Qi and Fu Bi did not dare to touch matters related to their relatives.
Back then, who dared to easily provoke the people from Empress Dowager Yang’s family in Baoqing and Empress Wen Chengzhang’s family?
However, Zhang Mao couldn't do it without helping Sima Guang!
Because now, although the Municipal Change Law has been abolished, the Embankment Department has also been abolished.
However, Wang Anshi's evil methods have not yet been cleared up.
Only when a veteran minister like Sima Guang, who has the hope of the world and is supported by the world, enters the court, can the remaining poison of Wang Anshi be truly and completely eliminated!
Only then could he truly let out the anger he had been holding in his heart for more than ten years!
Looking at Zhang Xun's retreating figure, Zhang Mao sighed: "If Sima Guang doesn't do anything, I'm afraid we can only count on Mr. Lu being killed!"
But Lu Gongzu may not be as firm as Sima Guang in his attitude towards Wang Anshi's evil methods.
Moreover, in people's eyes, Lu Gong's works are not as good as Sima Guang's.
Sima Guang has never held any actual position since the Xining Reform and has never made any mistakes!
And what about Mr. Lu?
On the issue of Wang Anshi's new law, although he was right, he also missed it!
Well, there are also monthly tickets for 3,500 extra in the evening~
I’ll have at least 15,000 words today~ which means there will be at least 4,000 more words in the evening.
Note: Continuation of Volume 354 of Zizhi Tongjian: On the first day of April, Gao Zunhui, a member of the Ministry of Industry, became a member of the Yousi Department.
The historical fact should be from the Ministry of Industry, but because Gao Gongji was promoted, Gao Zunhui here also had to be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel.
