After drinking for three rounds, Sima Guang looked at the people in front of him who were talking more and more cheerfully.
His face was so dark that he could smoke.
He grabbed the book in his sleeve and spent many days working on it, but there was still no final draft.
Sima Guang looked at the expressions of the elders sitting there.
He could probably guess it, if he took it out now, in this private setting.
These elders will definitely advise him.
The reasons and excuses are all ready.
Too radical, wait a moment, think again...
Someone might even snitch!
For example, Feng Jing!
Feng Jing didn't even need to take the initiative to tell others. He only needed to call his son-in-law Cai Mao to his home, and then pretended that he had no intention of letting Cai Mao see some relevant letters or texts.
It's nothing more than cursing "house thief" several times afterwards.
Just like when Lu Gongbi scolded Lu Jiawen.
Therefore, Sima Guangyin looked sullen and did not follow his original plan. He took out the memorial he wrote and showed it to other elders.
No need!
Wait for him to finish writing, wait for him to complete this memorial.
By then, everyone will know.
As long as this message is sent to the emperor, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not.
All the old parties, or gentlemen who are loyal to the righteous way of the saint, will automatically gather together.
Just like the Dengzhou Ayun case back then.
The Ayun case made Xingtong superior to the way of saints for the first time!
In the Spring and Autumn period, no prison existed, thieves became common in the world, and the people's morals were corrupted!
Only by bringing order out of chaos can the world return to peace!
For Sima Guang, the only problem now is-he needs a case!
A case that would give him room to develop his article.
A case that can take the opportunity to present these words to the two palaces.
So, this night in the Lu Mansion, Sima Guang remained silent.
Most people didn't take it to heart. Sima Guang had such a temper and he would be fine in two days.
Only Mr. Lu was deeply worried.
But it was hard for him to say, let alone impossible.
We can only think of ways to find another opportunity to persuade, or let Fan Zuyu do it.
Things are looking great now!
The evil laws in the new law are being repealed one after another.
The rest of the laws will be adjusted, reviewed, and slowly changed.
Why go into a head-on confrontation with the New Party?
…
Gengzi in May of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
As soon as Zhao Xu woke up, Feng Jing led his people to the imperial palace to serve him and wash him.
Taking advantage of Zhao Xu's opportunity to rinse his mouth under the service of the female officer, Feng Jing whispered: "Everyone, I heard a lot of people talking in the imperial kitchen this morning. Yulin Lane was very lively last night!"
Zhao Xu didn't speak, he just took the salt water in his mouth and gurgled vigorously.
After spitting it out, he took the toothbrush prepared by the female officer, dipped it in some Ouchi's special toothpaste, and started brushing his teeth.
The boar bristles inlaid on the white jade toothbrush are very hard, so you can only brush them carefully... instead of brushing the teeth to prevent the hard bristles from damaging the gums.
Feng Jingze was beside him, talking to himself: "It is said that Han Xianggong asked Sima Gong to come to the capital hall to discuss the law of labor on the spot, and Sima Gong also agreed..."
"Many people say that the elders are loyal to the country, which is really a blessing for the country!"
Zhao Xu slurped warm water in his mouth, rinsed out all the remaining toothpaste that the toothbrush had rubbed on his teeth and gums, and then spit it into a porcelain plate.
Then he looked at Feng Jing and said oh, indicating that he understood.
Feng Jing lowered his head and stopped talking.
I just took someone to deliver today's breakfast to the emperor.
After Zhao Xu finished eating, he first went to Kunning Hall to pay his respects, and then went to Baoci Palace with Empress Dowager Xiang to pay his respects.
In today's government affairs, the most important thing is to present the format and format of the decreed treasure that the new king should make after he ascends the throne.
The capital provided three different alternatives, and the two palaces chose the one that seemed to be the most satisfactory among them: the Emperor's Honored Treasure.
Then an edict was issued, asking the capital to nominate a governor to write this treasure, and then have it carved and presented to the emperor.
This thing is a ceremonial mascot anyway, and there is almost no environment or scenario where it can be used.
What is really important are the precious seals that are used daily.
After handling the matter, the two palaces took Zhao Xu and started talking.
The Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu said: "The official family, I, and your mother are all planning to select a few children from the family of my relatives, Xunchen, and the elders, and bring them into the palace next month to talk with us..."
"What do the officials think?"
Zhao Xu smiled and nodded: "It's up to the mother-in-law and the queen mother to make the decision!"
When the two palaces listened, they thought the child didn't understand, so they both smiled knowingly.
Empress Dowager Xiang took Zhao Xu's hand and said, "In the future palace, Sixth Brother will have some companions. We can play and study together..."
Zhao Xu nodded, then pretended to remember something and said, "If they are too stupid, I won't play with them!"
Both the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang were amused and said: "Just follow Brother Liu and choose some smart children..."
At this time, they all thought of two precedents.
The first one is Ci Sheng Guangxian. Ci Sheng Guangxian raised the Empress Dowager and chose Empress Xiang. As a result, the Cao family is still prosperous and will continue to be prosperous by relying on this love in the foreseeable future.
The second one is Zhang Xianmingsu.
A case of failure!
When Zhang Xianmingsu chose the queen for Renmiao, he did not choose the Zhang family he liked according to Renmiao's wishes, but instead established the Guo family he liked.
The result was that not only did the Liu family not get any help from Queen Guo, they were even dragged down.
After reviewing these two precedents, both palaces understood what they wanted to do.
clever……
It’s good to be smart!
The two palaces looked at each other and felt happy.
A smart queen who has grown up in front of them will also know how to repay kindness in the future.
Zhao Xu took this opportunity and asked: "Mother, I heard someone said this morning that there seemed to be many ministers gathered somewhere last night?"
Queen Mother Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did Sixth Brother know?"
"Listen to what Feng Jing said!" Zhao Xu betrayed Feng Jing without hesitation. Then he looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "The ancestral system does not allow important ministers to be intimate with each other in private!"
Then he looked at the Empress Dowager again: "Please ask the Grandmother and Queen Mother to issue an edict and reprimand!"
If the governors join forces, the imperial power will be just a decoration!
This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed.
Not even the slightest sign will do!
Whatever the reason, whatever the reason!
Want to make friends? Okay, you have reached a certain place and no longer have the power of the central government. It’s up to you!
But in the court, this is absolutely not allowed!
Zhao Xu thought of what happened in his previous life.
Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang interacted and discussed with each other every day - not only in the capital hall, but also in court and at home!
Later, Sima Guang could even kidnap Lu Gongzhu with morality and force Lu Gongzhu to abolish the exemption law.
It also completely provoked the most intense and fierce party struggle in the Song Dynasty!
Not only that, these two people also set particularly bad examples for others.
From then on, throughout the Yuanyou era, cliques became public!
When it reaches its peak, from the capital to the Yushitai, everyone is colluding with each other and blocking information!
The political atmosphere in Yuanyou's early period also deteriorated to the extreme!
The two palaces looked at each other, although they thought it was nothing serious.
But what Zhao Xu said does make some sense!
So, Empress Dowager Xiang smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "Sixth brother, among the ministers who gathered last night, there was only one prime minister...the others were either veterans who had become official, or ministers who had entered the palace..."
"It's not a violation of the ancestral system..."
"Oh..." Zhao Xu nodded: "Is that so?"
The Empress Dowager also said: "The official family is indeed like this. The ancestral system only does not allow the ministers to have close friendships in private...but it does not restrict the elders and ministers..."
"Grandson understands!" Zhao Xu nodded obediently.
His purpose was not really to issue an edict and reprimand—it was impossible.
He did this just to remind the crows at Yushitai - stop taking a nap and get up and work!
The emperor should take care of the dignity of the scholar-bureaucrats and important ministers.
Therefore, the task of beating the Prime Minister has always been the crows of the Yushitai.
During this period of Zhao Xu's previous life, it was because of the Empress Dowager's unconditional trust in Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu.
Yushitai, which was obviously controlled by the New Party, was so frightened that he did not even dare to say a word.
Therefore, after Mr. Lu entered Beijing, he could only watch helplessly as the old party took complete control of Yushitai.
After that, the entire Yuanyou era, from the Yushitai to the capital hall, was all old party!
For a period of time, even all radicals—those who were not radical enough—were driven out.
For example, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang were kicked out with countless labels because they were not radical enough.
In the end, the radicals screwed up, so they had to be brought back to wipe their ass.
Zhao Xu would naturally not allow such a situation to happen again.
Therefore, he seized this opportunity, took a certain risk, stood up, and sent this signal to the crows at the Yushitai.
Of course, the risk Zhao Xu took was almost zero to him.
Because even if the two palaces want to pursue the case, they will only slap Feng Jing on the ass - calling him talkative and talking nonsense in front of the emperor!
At most, that's it.
What's the loss for Zhao Xu?
Feng Jing is a minister, and he has a lot of meat on his butt, so it's not a big deal if he gets slapped a few times.
Besides, it is the highest honor for a minister to suffer for the emperor!
Every slap on Feng Jing's butt now will be a military medal for him in the future!
…
After Zhao Xu left, the Empress Dowager glanced at the Empress Dowager and said, "The officials are born to be saints. Let's send someone to give Lu Gong some advice..."
Nodding to the Queen Mother, she and the Queen Mother have been in close contact with Sixth Brother these days, and have also guided Sixth Brother in studying and participating in government affairs.
Naturally, I know that although this child is young, he is pure, filial, benevolent and very good to his relatives and clan.
But he seems to be born with a special sensitivity to government affairs. He can often find the key and can often make direct and accurate judgments.
What happened today is another clear proof!
Eight-year-old officials are already fearful and wary of ministers forming cliques!
This is good news for Queen Mother Xiang!
Because this means that her child will definitely be able to control the world!
