Like Gao Gongji, Xiang Zonghui also chose to wear armor.
Don't ask why?
I'm just angry at that Sima Guang!
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui had already found out why Sima Guang objected to them going to Xihe Road.
They were afraid that they would go to Xihe Road and cause trouble, and they were afraid that they would provoke a war.
So we need to nip it in the bud, so we can't let them swim.
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui both laughed out loud!
They haven't gone yet, so you conclude that if they go, they will cause trouble and start a war? !
how?
We Gao family members and Xiang family members are guilty of sin when we are born?
We haven’t done anything yet!
Moreover……
We went to Xihe Road under the emperor's orders!
Whatever the official family and the two palaces tell us, we will do it!
You're an old guy who hasn't even entered three provinces or two mansions, and you're not an imperial censor. Why do you stretch your hands so long?
Who cares what we do on Xihe Road?
How unreasonable! ?
Therefore, the two national relatives put on their armor openly today and entered Xuandemen in a swaggering manner surrounded by many children of their relatives and ministers.
This is mainly for the sake of face!
If a grand relative, a nephew of the Empress Dowager, or a brother of the Empress Dowager is casually said a few words by an old man, he must shrink his head and do things.
How are you going to hang out in Bianjing City from now on? What do other people think of them?
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong returned to the Neidong Gate and handed over the post.
He was quickly summoned.
They came to pay their respects today, and tomorrow they will set off for Xihe Road with the big Xibo leaders who came from Xihe Road.
However, these two guys finally knew the importance.
I found a place under the Neidong Gate, took off my armor, and put on normal public clothes before I dared to go to Baoci Palace.
…
Funing Hall.
Zhao Xu was reading a book at the moment, and Song Yongchen quietly came to him and whispered: "Everyone, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji have entered the palace. They are currently paying homage to the two palaces in Baoci Palace..."
Zhao Xu nodded.
"The two countrymen entered the palace wearing armor..." Song Yongchen also served as the Neidong Mensi, so he naturally knew who the people who entered the palace every day were? How did you enter the palace?
Zhao Xu put down the book in his hand and asked: "Are the two national relatives so bold?"
What do you want to do if you wear armor and enter the palace?
It should be noted that after the inner east gate is the inner chamber, no one is allowed to enter or leave the inner chamber with any weapon except those who control dragons and ministers with imperial weapons.
Even weapons are not allowed, let alone armor?
You know, armor is much more of a threat than weapons.
There are many folk who play with knives, guns, bows and crossbows.
But who wants to play armor?
It will immediately be characterized as having evil intentions!
"I don't dare..." Song Yongchen said with a smile: "The two national relatives knew the importance, so they took off their armor at the Neidong Gate and changed into official uniforms..."
"Huh?" Zhao Xu knew that there must be a follow-up.
"I heard that it seems that Liang Weijian, who is close to the Empress Dowager, also knows about the matter... Liang Weijian informed Zhang Douzhi about the matter... Duzhi then informed the Cisheng of the Two Palaces about the matter... " Song Yongchen narrated calmly.
Zhao Xu put down the book in his hand, stood up, and ordered: "Let's go to Baoci Palace!"
"Don't let the two compatriots be reprimanded for too long!"
"It would be bad if you scold and cry!"
…
When Zhao Xu arrived at Baoci Palace.
Sure enough, I saw two relatives standing in the hall in a daze, with their heads lowered and trembling.
Apparently they all got reprimanded severely.
"The official family..."
Seeing Zhao Xu coming, both Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji were relieved and hurried forward to salute.
"The two relatives are exempt from the gift!" Zhao Xu said with a smile and then went to the curtain to greet the two palaces.
Then Zhao Xu asked, "Why are my mother-in-law and queen mother unhappy?"
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "The officials came just in time!"
"Look at these two incompetents! How dare they wear armor and enter the palace!"
"What do they think of the country's laws and the ancestral system? Don't you think people outside gossip enough?"
Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said: "Aren't the two countrymen wearing armor now?"
"Mother, Queen Mother, please calm down!"
Queen Mother Xiang inside the curtain suddenly laughed and cursed: "Brother Six, just protect them as much as you can!"
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Both of you are close relatives to me. If I don't protect you, who will?"
As soon as these words came out, the two palaces inside the curtain laughed.
The expression of the Empress Dowager finally softened a lot, and she scolded Gao Gongji: "If the officials hadn't interceded with you today, I would have used family methods to teach you, an unfilial son, a lesson!"
Who is Gao Gongji?
As soon as he heard this, he immediately hit the snake on the stick and bowed: "I know that the officials are only filial to the empress. It is just for the sake of the empress that they add a little more to protect me..."
Xiang Zonghui also said: "I also understand that the empress dowager is pure and filial to the officials, and she only cares about the house and the bird..."
After hearing this, the two palaces finally felt better, and said to the Queen Mother to these two guys: "Since you know that the official family treats you favorably because of me and the empress, you should understand. You must repay the officials, you must be loyal to the officials, and you must not cause trouble to the officials..."
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui both lowered their heads and said calmly: "Yes! The two palaces have taught me the mercy of the sage. I know I was wrong... I won't dare to do it next time!"
Then he looked at Zhao Xu and bowed in salute: "I shall swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death and go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"
This is what relatives are like.
He gets carried away when given a little sunshine, and begs for mercy when his neck is pinched.
Especially Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui, who are now in their thirties and less than forty years old.
This may be a mature age for the minister.
But for my relatives, their thirties happen to be the age when they are most prone to drifting off.
Because they have never suffered setbacks or suffered any hardship.
But how could Zhao Xu allow them to give in like this?
no!
We must cheer them up and let them know - feel free to do things, I will protect you!
Therefore, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "You two countrymen don't need to be polite!"
"We are all a family, it's easy to talk about anything..."
"It's just wearing armor and I haven't actually penetrated into the palace...it's not a big deal."
The two palaces listened and were about to say something.
Zhao Xu had already spoken in advance: "However, the two close relatives must remember..."
"Soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints use them as a last resort!"
"You should know that martial arts is the only way to stop fighting!"
"When you arrive at Xihe, remember not to cause trouble..."
When the two palaces inside the curtain heard this, they suddenly became happy and said, "The official taught me a good lesson! Listen carefully!"
"If you go to Xihe, you will cause trouble and cause trouble!"
"Even if the officials protect you, the family law will not be merciful!"
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong returned and immediately paid homage: "I will bear in mind His Majesty's holy precepts and the teachings of the two palaces!"
Zhao Xu saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and said to the two palaces: "Mother-in-law, Queen Mother, since the two relatives also know that they are wrong and have remembered it, why not just forget it..."
With that said, Zhao Xu ordered the people around him: "Why don't you quickly give seats to the two countrymen?!"
He himself walked into the curtain, sat next to the two palaces, and acted like a good baby.
He knew how the two palaces were willing to scold and embarrass Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui.
One is a nephew and the other is a younger brother.
They are all their closest and dearest people!
After all, both Gao Zunfu and Xiang Jing only have two precious sons!
The Gao family and the Xiang family pointed them to continue the family line and spread their branches and leaves!
…
Gao Gongji and Xiang Zong returned and left Baoci Palace.
The two of them looked at each other under the palace palace.
They know that someone snitched!
Otherwise, how would the Cishengs of the Two Palaces know that they wore armor and entered the palace today?
In their original calculation, when the two palaces knew about this kind of thing, they would have already left Bianjing.
By that time, the Cisheng of the Two Palaces would at most send someone to give them a few words of warning, and they would not be reprimanded in person like today!
"If I find out that it was that bastard who spoke ill of me in front of Cisheng..." Gao Gongji gritted his teeth and said, "I will not spare him!"
Xiang Zonghui also nodded vigorously and said: "Today I was wrong and the officials came to the rescue. I don't know how long I will be reprimanded by the two palaces!"
Can this be tolerated?
I can't bear it!
The two guys thought for a while, then went to the Neidong Gate, found someone from Tongjian Si, and asked: "Who is the minister of the Neidong Gate today?"
How dare the people in Tongjian Si to offend the two relatives? He immediately said: "Today, the ones at the east gate of the Si Zhi Nei should be Song Yongchen who is with the official family and Liang Weijian who is with the Empress Dowager..."
The official family was notified by Song Yongchen.
What about the two palaces?
The answer is already out!
"Family thief!" Gao Gongji immediately cursed in his heart: "How dare you do this!"
Liang Weijian was a person close to the Empress Dowager in Baoci Palace.
It's just that you don't care about him, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, but you actually dare to reveal his secrets? Inverted!
"Liang Weijian doesn't have the guts!" Xiang Zonghui knew that it was impossible for Liang Weijian to risk offending his relatives and talk nonsense in front of the two empresses.
so……
Gao Gongji nodded and replied to Xiang Zong: "Uncle, we must not indulge in this matter!"
"We must find out!"
"After I return home, I will make it clear to my brother-in-law..."
Xiang Zonghui also nodded: "I will also explain it to Xiang Zongliang!"
This is a nail!
The nails buried beside the two palaces!
It must be found and unplugged!
Otherwise, will they still have a good life in the future?
Especially these two guys, if they think about today, if the officials were not protecting them, they would probably still be being punished in Baoci Palace!
The anger in their hearts is already uncontrollable!
…
Sima Guang put down the book in his hand.
His hands trembled slightly.
Two national relatives openly wore armor and entered the palace!
He also led people to show off under Xuande's door!
This is a naked provocation, and they do not take the country's laws into consideration!
They dared to wear armor and enter the palace in Bian Jingdu. When they arrived at Xihe Road, wouldn't they be about to cause a storm? !
"Chunfu!"
Sima Guang said: "Prepare paper and pen for me...I want to write a letter of impeachment!"
Sima Guang felt that he had to take care of this matter.
Fan Zuyu swallowed his saliva and quickly advised: "Mr. Sima... no..."
Originally, the two palaces already had strong opinions on Sima Gong because of the affairs of their relatives.
Now if you write a letter to impeach your relatives, aren't you just trying to get into trouble?
Moreover……
Fan Zuyu pulled Sima Guang's sleeve and said, "This is a censorship thing!"
"If Ming Gong forcibly participates, he will not only offend the two palaces, but also give trouble to the new party and the young..."
"Please Ming Gong be patient..."
Sima Guang shook his head and said: "I am not even qualified to write a letter to talk about my relatives!"
"Then what's the use of staying in Bianjing?"
"Let's set off back to Luoyang today!"
Fan Zuyu suddenly became anxious and hurriedly persuaded him again: "Sima Gong, even if you don't think about the affairs of the world, you should think about the young master..."
"If even you abandon the young master and go to Bianjing City to be surrounded by evil..."
"How can the world be wronged? How can the common people be wronged?"
After hearing this, Sima Guang finally closed his eyes, breathed out a deep breath, and said: "It doesn't matter... it doesn't matter..."
"For the sake of the young master, I will endure it this time!"
This was an unprecedented sacrifice for him!
This is an unprecedented concession!
Because, in the past fifteen years, he has always been angry in Luoyang!
I never care whether the emperor of Bianjing likes it or not, and I never care what the new party ministers think.
He writes what he wants to write and says what he wants to say.
It is now, that is, now, Your Majesty meets the young master in the palace and knows that the young master is Cong Junren, the Holy Empress.
Only then did he finally feel concerned and finally be willing to make such a concession.
"but……"
"If no one in Bianjing writes a letter to talk about this matter..." Sima Guang said: "Then I will still write a letter to talk about this!"
Fan Zuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening.
As long as this old husband doesn't get into trouble with the two palaces now, everything will be fine!
