Sima Guang's duet in Yanhe Hall soon spread out of the palace.
After Wen Yanbo heard this, he shook his head.
"This Sima Twelve... I'm afraid he's going to hit his head and bleed!"
Wen Yanbo was a man who had walked several times from the local government to the court.
He knows very well what the discussion between the Prime Minister and the Elders of Xiadu means?
This means that neither the two palaces nor the emperor are on his side, Sima Guang!
This is to encourage the opposition - work hard!
reason?
If the two palaces support it, why go to the capital hall and ask the elders to discuss it?
Just decide on the spot!
For problems with the text of the edict, just call someone from Zhongshu Sheren and order him to revise it on the spot, and then print it to Zhongshu Sheng.
Now that we have made such a big circle, the Prime Minister of the Capital Hall will discuss with the elders.
The obvious thing is to tell other people - I don't really trust this person, so you all come to discuss it.
"Father..." Wen Yanbo's son Wen Yiqing asked from the side: "Don't you think highly of Sima Xianggong?"
Wen Yanbo said: "If he, Sima Junshi, can have the support of the two palaces, then I will naturally be optimistic about him!"
"But now, the two palaces are obviously still angry because of the letter they submitted a few days ago..."
"Ke'er heard that the young master supports Mr. Sima!" Wen Yiqing said: "Sima Gong has the support of the young master, how dare others not give the young master face?"
Listening to this, Wen Yanbo almost burst into tears from laughter.
Looking at Wen Yiqing's silly and innocent appearance, he felt that there was nothing wrong with letting this silly son continue to be a noble military minister of the Qing Dynasty!
"Could it be that the young master doesn't support Sima Gong?" Wen Yiqing was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he couldn't find any clue that the young master didn't support Sima Gong.
As soon as Sima Gong entered the capital, the young master gave him a handwritten calligraphy letter: "Sima Shibao."
In the back hall, they were also respectful and respectful.
Today, when both palaces were hesitant, it was this young master who spoke out in support of Sima Gong.
"Be your best friend and help others!" Wen Yanbo sighed: "Don't care about things that shouldn't concern you!"
"My son knows..."
Looking at Wen Yiqing's leaving figure.
Wen Yanbo sighed again!
Although he didn't know whether the young master supported Sima Twelve or not.
However, when the young man spoke, he said 'Father told me...' and when he shut up, he said 'Father said...'.
You, Sima Guang, actually still want to use all the new methods?
You don’t have a fever!
Almost done!
The Market Transaction Law has been abolished, and although the Uniform Transport Law has not been explicitly abolished, it is only an empty shell for transporting materials.
The embankment department's purchase has been transferred from outside the city to the city.
Han Jiang is already reviewing the service law and reforming the Baojia law.
Most of Jingdong’s proposals will be abandoned.
The law of protecting armor and protecting horses has been clearly defined as an evil law and has been abolished immediately!
People have already taken the initiative to do this, and now they are thinking and pestering about completely abolishing it.
It's both unreasonable and overbearing.
Even if the young master doesn't think about this now because he is young, he will definitely think so when he grows up.
By then, you, Sima Twelve, may have been buried in the loess.
But your children and grandchildren, the children and grandchildren of the entire Sima family, have to suffer in vain.
…
It was dark at night, Zhang Dun was riding a horse, and his Yuan Sui was leading the way with a lantern.
Lanterns have been hung up in the streets and alleys in the distance.
The lights dimmed, the crowds surged, and it was still as lively as daytime.
Even noisier than during the day!
After all, it’s summer now, and the city of Bianjing will be getting hotter and hotter. At night, with the summer breeze blowing, holding lanterns and walking with two or three friends under the embankment of the Bianhe River, buying some food while walking, it’s already Bian. The daily life of people in Beijing.
For example, Maxing Street, Zhouqiao Night Market, and the Tianshui Alley next to the Daxiangguo Temple, as well as the streets behind the Wuxue, Wenxuanwang and Wuchengwang Temples, are open almost day and night from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The lights are as bright as the stars in the sky.
"Sheng Zuo! Sheng Zuo..." The sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Zhang Dun turned around and saw a familiar figure.
It was Xing Shu who had just been promoted to Yuan Wai Lang, the Right Division of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
And Gao Zunhui of the Gao family moved to his post on the same day as Xingshu.
As a minister, Zhang Dun knew very well who wrote Xing Shu's recommendation letter?
Wen Yanbo!
Therefore, it is not nonsense that Xingshu has great magical powers.
"Uncle He..." Zhang Dun smiled and jumped off his horse to meet Xing Shu.
When Xing Shu arrived in front of Zhang Dun, he also dismounted and said, "I'm lucky enough to meet the provincial minister tonight..."
Zhang Dun smiled and said: "I just remembered an old friend, so I went to have a look..."
Xing Shu raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky above his head, and then said: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight. I wonder if someone is lucky enough to go with Sheng Zuo?"
Zhang Dun nodded and said, "I am so lucky to be able to travel with Uncle He!"
The two then led their horses, surrounded by Zhang Dun and Yuan's followers, to a secluded embankment of the Bian River.
On the Hongqiao in the distance, there is an endless stream of pedestrians.
The Bianhe River at night is gurgling and sparkling, reflecting the stars of the Tianshan Mountains.
Xing Shu looked at all this from a distance and said: "The night view of Bianjing is really a wonder in the world, but I don't know how many days I can enjoy it..."
Zhang Dun smiled and said nothing.
He knew Xing Shu's tricks very well. Back then, Cai Que was so frightened by Xing Shu that he did not dare to deal with Xing Shu, Wu Chong's former confidant. On the contrary, he established a close relationship with Xing Shu from then on.
There is a legend in the capital hall that Xing Shu used tricks to convince Cai Que that Emperor Daxing was very optimistic about his uncle Xing He.
Seeing that Zhang Dun did not follow the routine, Xing Shu was not discouraged and continued: "Don't you know, the provincial minister, that if Sima Xianggong's request for a frank speech was passed in the capital hall... then the provincial minister should ask the county to go out? …”
Zhang Dun smiled: "So what?"
In the political arena of the Song Dynasty, it was normal to come and go, up and down.
He is not Wang Gui, he would be stupid enough to stay in the capital and the court.
In that case, either people will get tired of dogs sooner or later, or they will have no choice but to imitate Wang Gui and be a three-purpose minister, and be a clay sculpture of the land.
Why bother!
On the contrary, Zhang Dun had already made plans to go out.
Originally he wanted to go to Xihe Road, but now that the Gao family and the Xiang family were going, Zhang Dun wisely excluded Xihe.
Although Zhang Dun was actually very curious, the young master sent Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui back to Xihe.
What exactly are you going to do?
But his reason prevailed over his curiosity.
Getting involved with a foreign relative will not end well!
Liu Changzuo was so good at fighting that he was almost tricked to death by Gao Zunyu.
Xing Shu was stunned for a moment. His tried-and-tested trick actually hit a wall with Zhang Dun. He could only smile and said, "Is it possible that Xing Zuo is really indifferent to this..."
Zhang Dun said softly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness..."
"So what if someone doesn't want to?"
Now it was Xing Shu's turn to be anxious, and he quickly said: "Why should Xing Zuo be discouraged?"
"In the capital, Mr. Han is still in charge..."
"Besides the capital, there are many sages to help!"
Zhang Dun smiled and looked at Xing Shu's face.
Xingshu finally realized that he had been fooled!
I hunted geese all day long, but got pecked in the eye!
He simply stopped pretending and said directly to Zhang Dun: "To be honest with Sheng Zuo, I was entrusted by someone to bring a message to Sheng Zuo..."
"Um?"
"Please also ask the minister, above the capital, to maintain your integrity and not let Xiao Xiao succeed!"
"Oh!" Zhang Dun nodded and said, "This is natural!"
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor! I must do my best to repay the kindness of the Daxing Emperor!"
Xing Shu bowed his hands and bowed again: "I admire the high righteousness of the provincial minister!"
…
Watching Xing Shu's figure disappear into the night, Zhang Dun led his beloved horse forward slowly.
"Interesting!" he said.
"Who does Uncle Xinghe come on behalf of?"
"Wen Yanbo?"
"Or the Gao family?"
No matter who it is, it’s so interesting!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dun was filled with admiration for the young master's magical move.
As soon as the two palace relatives went to Xihe Road, the whole chess game came alive!
Although Zhang Dun himself didn't know whether the young master did it intentionally or out of pure filial piety.
He carefully recalled all the details of the day when the young master visited the court.
He thought carefully...
Although the young master in the palace kept asking the Empress Dowager Xiang that day.
But in the end, he ignored the beautiful officials who used to accommodate his relatives.
With a little bit of dexterity, you can hit the right spot in Xihe.
Intentional? Unintentionally?
It’s really hard to judge!
But one thing is clear: since then, the offensive and defensive momentum has been different!
Now in the capital, Han Jiang's governance has not been hindered too much, which is the best evidence.
The elders of the old party even split because of this!
Those who wanted to protect themselves wisely and those who wanted to compete with Sima Guang all appeared.
But back then, when these elders came to Beijing one after another, they were full of arrogance and united.
Now, even Wen Yanbo is beginning to be satisfied with the treatment of Pingzhang's military and state affairs, and is also satisfied with the honor of the military law initiated by him and Han Qi.
…
Sima Guang dragged his tired body back to the official mansion where he lives now.
After he left the palace today, he went to visit the elders in Beijing including Han Wei, Feng Jing, Sun Gu and Zhang Fangping.
Seek support from these elders in the capital.
Although everyone promised well.
They all say: The gentleman’s opinions are actually the words of a gentleman, and I have no objection.
But……
When it comes to the capital hall, will they still be so supportive?
Or they support it, but it’s just support.
Therefore, Sima Guang was really tired.
I even have some thoughts of leaving.
The affairs of the country are complicated and the world is difficult!
Even the elders are wavering!
Many people are satisfied with the status quo!
Zhang Fangping said as he was sending him out: "Jun Shi, now the Horse Protection Law has been abolished, the Market Change Law has been abolished, the Service Law is being revised, and it is said that the Young Crops Law will also be reviewed..."
"Why don't we wait and see what Han Zihua will do?"
This kind of compromise and avoidance, this kind of capitulationism that gives in when things are good, made Sima Guang furious, but there was nothing he could do about it!
Because this is human nature!
That's almost it!
Just settle down first and then think about other things. Don’t irritate the new party too much. If you really offend the new party, it’s not good to cause trouble!
Fortunately...
Sima Guang thought of what the young master said in the palace today.
As a politician, you must let people speak!
He knew that the young master was in charge of him!
This rekindled his fighting spirit!
Moreover, Uncle Lu Hui will arrive in Beijing in about ten days at most. By then...
With Uncle Lu Hui here, the new party is small, so it’s time to learn what’s interesting!
