Sima Guang looked at the documents that were sent to him.
He looked at the words above and looked moved.
"Mr. Sima, why are you so unwise?" The minister who came to deliver the document sighed: "Both palaces are furious now!"
Sima Guang turned a deaf ear. He just looked at the details on the document, his face full of joy.
The minister could only shake his head and sigh: "My father offended the Empress Dowager a few days ago and is no longer in Baoci Palace..."
"Otherwise, my father will definitely be able to make things right for you in today's situation..."
"Pity!"
Sima Guang didn't speak. He stroked the words on the document and sighed for a long time: "The true sage!"
The eight-year-old young master's food and clothing are no more than that of a middle-class family.
Moreover, he requested it on his own initiative without anyone supervising, persuading or reminding him.
Incredible!
Such self-discipline and such serious demands on oneself!
This made Sima Guang full of motivation and fighting spirit.
Sima Guang raised his head and looked at the minister in front of him.
Zhang Xun, the adopted son of Zhang Maoze.
"Thank you Zhang Douzhi for me!" Sima Guang said to him.
"As for other things, there's no need to bother!"
"Over there at the two palaces, I will apologize!"
Zhang Xun bowed his hands and said, "Take care, Mr. Sima!"
Although he was not on duty in Baoci Palace, he had heard about the anger of the two palaces.
When his father Zhang Mao heard the news, he staggered and narrowly escaped falling to the ground.
Sima Guang is the red flag of the old party.
He was also the most determined minister to depose Wang Anshi's evil methods.
It is Zhang Xun's father who has put in countless efforts over the past ten years.
He built momentum again and again, and praised himself around the Empress Dowager again and again.
Now, all these efforts were wiped out overnight.
Sima Guang watched Zhang Xun's back disappear from his sight.
He lowered his head and continued to look at the usage details in his hand.
Do you want to ask him if he regrets it?
His answer is: no regrets!
Even a little proud!
Because...he saw hope in these details.
A simple, frugal, smart and benevolent young master is rising.
Even if he fails now, Sima Guang believes that he will succeed in the future.
not to mention……
Sima Guang looked in the direction of the capital hall.
Emperor Daxing appointed him as the young master's guardian!
Unless he resolutely refuses, he will definitely have a place in the three provinces and two governments!
"Young Master, Young Master..." Sima Guang murmured to himself: "For you, I can bear any grievance!"
At this time, Fan Zuyu, who had been outside the door, walked in, came to Sima Guang, bowed his head and apologized: "Mr. Sima, it's all the juniors who have caused trouble for you!"
The contents of Sima Guang's book, especially the second half, made the two palaces furious.
Select mature palace maids, replace the items in the Funing Palace, select loyal ministers to accompany the emperor, and record his words and deeds.
It was all his advice.
Now, this responsibility and price is borne by Sima Gong, whom he admires most and is like his master and father.
"Please write to me to make it clear that those contents are the intentions of the juniors... and have nothing to do with me!"
Sima Guang smiled: "Chunfu..."
"No one will believe it, and they will only laugh at me! Sima Jun is laughing at me for not taking any responsibility, and actually passing the blame on the younger generation!"
"What's more!" Sima Guang helped Fan Zuyu up with emotion: "I am old and decrepit! I don't have much time left!"
I am clear about my own body.
Sima Guang knew that he was now extremely close to the time when the oil was exhausted.
The reason why he held on for a long breath was just because he still had something to do!
Put an end to Wang Anshi's evil methods!
Now, there is one more reason - to assist the young master and bring peace to the world!
But half of him was buried up to his neck in loess.
I'm afraid, it will only be a year or two.
Only Fan Zuyu, and only Fan Zuyu, can continue to live in this world for him with his unfinished career and ambition!
"So, Chunfu..."
"My ambitions and ambitions in life all depend on Chunfu!"
Sima Guang could now finally understand why Pang Zhuang Min Gong had to bear all the blame for him.
Old people will die eventually.
Only the next generation of young people can take over the mantle and continue to prosper.
Fan Zuyu had tears in his eyes and burst into tears of gratitude: "Mr. Sima..."
…
In Xuanpingfang, pine trees stand tall.
Among the pines and cypresses, official buildings are neatly arranged.
Even in the height of summer, it's still cool here.
There are many crows' nests on the tops of cypress trees.
Censors wearing Xie Zhi uniforms shuttled among these official houses.
The noisy cries of crows are not unpleasant to the ears of these censors, but are actually very pleasant!
At this moment, An Dun was listening to the noisy crows.
The brush he held in his hand was stained with ink.
Inspiration bursts inside the skull.
Words began to jump in his writing.
Soon, accompanied by the crows outside the window, a eloquent piece of hundreds of words was written.
"Take it and surrender to the Secretary immediately!" An Dun called an old official to him and gave the order directly.
"Wei!" The old official respectfully took the bullet, bowed and left.
An Dun stood at the window and looked at the courtyard of the censor's platform. Old officials in green clothes were pouring out of the official residences of each censor, holding envelopes of bullets in their hands!
What a feast!
For all censors, if they can be defeated this time, Sima Guang, who countless people since Xining have tried their best, has not been able to defeat him.
Then you will really make a name for yourself!
It also established its position!
For the censors at the Censorship Station, Sima Guang's aura, Sima Guang's status, Sima Guang's prestige... these things that outsiders are afraid of are their most exciting motivation!
Elder? Important minister? The old party is red?
Those who are beaten are the elders, those who are impeached are important ministers, and those who are impeached are Chi Qi!
What's more...
An Dun looked in the direction of the capital hall.
The newly appointed ruler Lu Gongzhu recommended five ministers as censors.
By now, those people should have received appointments from the court.
When they enter Beijing, the Yushitai may undergo a purge.
If it had been the first time Emperor Daxing passed away, Andun might have accepted his fate.
He would even obediently ask the county to admit defeat to avoid being chased and beaten without even giving him any dignity.
but……
After the impeachment of Lu Dafang.
An Dun suddenly woke up - the young master can control the situation!
This discovery surprised him beyond measure!
So, he refused to leave.
An eight-year-old young master who listens to politics behind the curtains of two palaces and a young master who started to participate in state affairs during the era of two palaces behind the curtains and can still make accurate judgments.
They are two different things!
The former is just a child. It will take at least several years for him to grow up. Staying in the capital is just a waste of time, so it is better to go out!
And the latter...
But it’s a huge opportunity!
As long as you seize the opportunity, let him remember it, and gain his trust, your future success will be just around the corner!
An Dun knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
…
The censors' bullets poured into the Tongjian Division like a tide.
Soon they were all sent to the two palaces.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager opened the magazines and scanned them before looking at each other.
Because the two palaces discovered that these censors seemed to be like roundworms in their stomachs.
They said everything they wanted to say.
There are even people who have thought about the unexpected and missed parts for them.
The most important thing is - they scolded so much!
It's almost their mouth substitute!
Those words that the two palaces could not say out of dignity were now spoken by the censors on their behalf.
Sima Guang's crimes were accumulated one after another.
'Walking about the emperor and slandering the benevolent saint', 'having evil intentions and plotting evil', 'driving a wedge between the two palaces and bullying the master', 'a child looks down upon the emperor and has no regard for his superior'...
These are just the basic charges.
Some censors began to go online and made some comments that shocked both palaces.
For example, the imperial censor Shi Andun said in the bullet that Sima Guang "secretly cherished Sima Zhongda's heart and wanted to pursue Wang Mang's ambitions", so he asked "the benevolent saints of the two palaces must not be lenient". Why?
Because if things continue like this, the ministers will not be courteous and the country will not be a country.
After reading these bullets, the two palaces finally got rid of most of the anger they were holding in their hearts.
"Mother, what should I do with these bullets?" asked the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager wanted to issue these bullets.
But she also knew that if this happened, things might get out of hand.
Because after experiencing the two cases of Wang Gui and Li Ding, the Empress Dowager also knew that sending the bullets directly to the capital hall meant that she recognized the opinions of the censors.
This is a very dangerous thing!
Lu Gongzhu's wife had secretly reminded her in private when she came to the palace to express her gratitude.
The censors' bullets must be handled with caution.
Especially when it comes to bullets involving senior officials, be particularly cautious!
So, after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager said: "Why don't you invite Prime Minister Han and Governor Lu to come to the palace for discussion?"
Nodding to the Queen Mother, she also needed someone to provide some advice.
After all, she had only been in politics for three months and had no experience at all in dealing with major national affairs, especially those involving ministers of Sima Guang's level.
The minister’s opinion must be sought!
Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu are the most suitable candidates!
…
Zhao Xu took a beautiful nap.
Then he got up on time, washed and changed clothes under the service of the palace maid.
Then, he drank another bowl of red dates and honey water that he specially asked Feng Jing to cook.
"Everyone..." Feng Jing asked the maids to go down, then walked up to Zhao Xu and whispered: "The censors have already sent the bullets into the palace..."
"So fast?" Zhao Xu was surprised, and then laughed.
How could the Crows be slow on something like this?
In his previous life, as soon as the Tongwenguan case broke out, the entire Yushitai sent hundreds of bullets to the palace overnight.
"It is said that the Cisheng of the Two Palaces sent people to invite the right prime minister and Lu Shilang to come to the palace for consultation..." Feng Jing continued to report.
Zhao Xu nodded.
He didn't want to continue to participate in this matter.
It's almost enough to take off Sima Guang's halo and destroy his favorability in front of the two palaces.
Any more would be too much and not enough.
It may even reveal flaws and alert people!
Zhao Xu would not do such a stupid thing where the gain outweighs the loss!
I went to the hospital for a physical check-up today~
I have a gastroscopy tomorrow, but I did a color ultrasound today, and then I got a bunch of minor problems, including small stones and cholecystitis~!
I wiped it!
