Written by Han Jiang and Lu Gong, they were ordered to enter Baoci Palace.
Through the curtain, I communicated with the two palaces for almost an entire afternoon.
It was not until the evening before the palace doors were locked that he paid his respects to the palace again.
After leaving the inner east gate, both Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu glanced at each other.
Then each sighed.
Lu Gongzhu sighed that his good friend for many years was now under suspicion in front of the two palaces!
The Empress Dowager even suspected that Sima Guang had "Sima Yi's ambitions and Wang Mang's trip".
Mr. Lu was so frightened that he quickly promised that Sima Guang was just upright and had no such disobedient intentions.
In addition, Han Jiang also confirmed that Sima Guang was just stupid and straightforward, and he had never been exposed to military power, so there was absolutely no possibility of that.
This is dangerous and dangerous, which makes the two palaces feel relieved.
After much persuasion, Emperor Daxing was moved out, and the young master was moved out as well.
Only then did he finally persuade the two palaces to leave the imperial censor's bullet in the center.
But……
The censors will continue to write letters of impeachment!
There is no doubt about this!
"You Kui..." Lu Gongzhu said softly to Han Jiang: "How about temporarily letting Sima Junshi take up his post in Chenzhou?"
"It's good to avoid the edge temporarily!"
As long as Sima Guang leaves Beijing, Yushitai will not pursue him fiercely.
Han Jiang nodded: "For now, this is the only way!"
He asked Sima Guang to go to Chenzhou and serve as the magistrate of the state for three to five months as a matter of procedure. He and Lu Gong planned to think of a way to let Sima Guang return to Beijing in the future.
Han Jiang knew very well that no matter what, Sima Guang was the Young Master Shibao appointed by Emperor Daxing!
The young master also seemed to respect him.
So decency must be given!
No matter what, he must be carried into the three provinces and two governments!
reason?
This is not just for the sake of the two palaces!
It’s also for their own reputation!
You know, the Xianhancuo elders in Bianjing City are the best group at political association.
The people in Wazi even dared to whisper about rumors such as the sound of axes and the shadow of candles, and the fact that Xiling was lucky to have Xiao Zhouhou.
Especially the latter, he spoke so vividly and vividly, as if he were there in person.
Some guys can even describe Xiao Zhouhou's expression and psychology clearly.
Sima Guang's world-famous "Zizhi Tongjian" made him famous all over the world.
Emperor Daxing personally named him and asked him to serve as the Young Master's guardian.
If he cannot be worshiped as ruler.
In the future, people in the world will discuss that they will be suspected of ostracizing, suppressing, and criticizing Sima Guang in front of the two palaces.
Once such a reputation is acquired, descendants will suffer.
When the young master grows up, he may hear about these things and become suspicious of them.
Even if they wanted to explain at that time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the chance.
"How about asking Yunzhong to come forward and persuade me?" Lu Gongzhu suggested.
Han Jiang nodded: "At this time, Sima Twelve can probably listen to Sun Yunzhong's words!"
…
Sun Gu read the letter in his hand.
He sighed: "This Sima Twelve... still thinks that Emperor Daxing is on the throne now!"
Since ancient times, as an emperor and a courtier, could Sima Guang not even be able to defeat this?
Sun Gu had no choice but to tell his family: "Go and invite Sima Junshi to the house with my post!"
"only!"
All cities in the Song Dynasty now no longer have the concept and laws of curfew.
Especially in this midsummer season, staying up all night is the norm for many people.
It is for this reason that there are as many as four night markets in Bianjing City alone.
Among them, Zhouqiao Night Market and Maxing Street Night Market are famous all over the world, and even merchants from Uyghur, Khotan and even Dashi come to visit them from thousands of miles away.
More than an hour later, Sima Guang arrived at Sun Gu's house.
He was led by the Sun family to the place where Sun Gu was currently recuperating.
Sima Guang stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Sima Guang, I have met brother Yunzhong..."
"Junshi is here!" Sun Gu stepped forward with a smile and bowed.
Then Sima Guang was invited to the guest table, and the host and guest took their seats.
Sima Guang asked: "Brother Yunzhong, is your health okay now?"
Sun Gu replied: "I'm old, I'm old! Fortunately, thanks to the medicine given by the Merciful Saints of the Two Palaces, I'm now more than half healed!"
He looked at Sima Guang's expression and said, "Jun Shi should take care of himself!"
Sima Guang sighed and said: "The country's affairs are difficult and we are struggling!"
"Those who used to share the same goals have now gone their separate ways..."
Although he didn't name him, Sun Gu could guess who Sima Guang was talking about.
Feng Jing, Han Wei, Li Chang and even Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo.
Sun Gu sighed: "The world is like this, so you don't have to be too sentimental!"
"As a country general, you should rest on yourself for the sake of the future!"
Having said this, Sun Gu asked tentatively: "I heard that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the two palaces and Junshi today?"
"Do you need me to enter the palace to explain to Jun Shi?"
Sun is inherently in this position to do this kind of thing.
Not only because he is a senator, but also because he is a minister of the Daxing Emperor.
He was the minister in Prince Ying's Mansion back then.
Therefore, both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had a certain friendship with Sun Gu.
Sima Guang shook his head and said, "No need to trouble Yun Zhong!"
It doesn't matter whether the two palaces misunderstood him or alienated him.
Sima Guang didn't care.
As long as the young master believes in him and trusts him, that's fine!
According to the news in the palace, when the young master talks about him, he still respects, trusts and even admires him.
The words must be said: Mr. Sima, my father has left me as a minister!
This made Sima Guang really burst into tears of gratitude and excited.
Seeing Sima Guang's appearance, Sun Gu said softly: "Jun Shi... How many years have I grown up with you? If I say a few words that you don't like to hear, don't mind..."
Sima Guang respected Sun Gu very much, so he bowed his hands and said, "Please enlighten me!"
Sun Gu said: "Nowadays, the impeachment of Yushitai is very fierce, and the attack on the emperor is really fierce... It is better to retreat three steps... first go to Chenzhou and stay for three to five months..."
"After the funeral of Emperor Daxing is over, will you return to the capital?"
The funeral of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty lasted for seven months from his death to his final burial.
Then, Shanling and other envoys would accompany the Daxing Emperor Yu Zhu back to the capital.
The emperor will personally welcome Lord Yu and enshrine him in Jingling Palace.
At that time, the court can also worship Sima Guang as the ruler in accordance with the imperial edict issued by Emperor Daxing during his lifetime.
So, the best of both worlds!
Sima Guang listened and knew that this was his best choice.
If this happened in the past, he would definitely hang up his seal and leave.
But now... Sima Guang just remembered the way the young master in the palace looked at him, and the words of encouragement written by the young master himself.
He knew that he had to endure this grievance!
Even if you are the enemy of everyone in the world!
He, Sima Guang, also wants to protect the young master!
We must also expel all Wang Anshi’s evil laws and doctrines from the young master!
So, he nodded heavily: "As per Yinzhong..."
"only……"
"Someone has something on his mind that is still unresolved..."
Sima Guang took out the memorial from his body that he had been revising for more than a month.
He handed it to Sun Gu and said: "In the Ayun case, Wang Anshi broke the teachings of the saints and changed the methods of the ancestors..."
"So much so that there are now hordes of thieves in the world and the people's morals are corrupted!"
"Someone I hate so far!"
"We want to abolish this evil system and bring peace to the world!"
"But I haven't waited for the right opportunity... If Yunzhong is willing, can he pay attention to the Ministry of Criminal Justice case in the capital?"
Sun Gu took the text from Sima Guang and read it through the light.
Sun Gu took a deep breath.
He looked at Sima Guang: "Jun Shi is still thinking about him!"
Wang Anshi's theory of cautious punishment is one of the theoretical foundations of the new law.
The so-called 'change customs, legislate laws, and carry forward the politics of the previous kings' is just that.
Overturning Wang Anshi's thought of cautious punishment also overturned the theoretical basis on which the new law was based.
The Ayun case is the ultimate ideological and theoretical opposition between the old and the new parties!
Sima Guang advocated "breaking prisons with etiquette" and "breaking prisons in the Spring and Autumn Period", and Wang Anshi adhered to "having a judge to discuss crimes, but only to abide by the law." Depending on the importance of emotions and reasons, the imperial edict will be given. If there are officials who are willing to abandon the law to judge crimes, the law will be chaotic in the world, and people will be at a loss what to do." They engaged in a head-on conflict.
The two sides were tit for tat.
In the end, Wang Anshi ended up clinging to his royal power and forcibly overturned the rulings of Dali Temple and the Court of Justice.
It also completely detonated the confrontation between the old and the new!
Over the years, countless old party ministers have been trying to find a new case and use this case to overturn the ruling in the Ayun case.
Let the Spring and Autumn Period resolve prisons and etiquette and law resolve cases, and return again.
Sun Gu took Sima Guang's memorial and nodded gently: "I will pay attention to it!"
"It's just..." He looked at Sima Guang and said, "Junshi, don't have too much hope..."
"It is impossible for the Prime Minister, the two palaces and even the young master to agree..."
Sima Guang could still listen to Sun Gu's other opinions.
But Sun Gu said that the young master would not agree, and Sima Guang disagreed.
He widened his eyes: "What Yun Zhong said is biased! The young master is a benevolent, sage, and wise man. He must know that the Spring and Autumn Period is a judgment of prison. The etiquette and law of judgment are the teachings of the saints and the best principles in the world!"
Sun Gu sighed: "Didn't Junshi find out?"
"Before the young master ascended the throne, his reputation as a filial piety spread far and wide. After he ascended the throne, he regarded himself as the filial son of the great emperor!"
"How could the young master overturn the ruling that Emperor Daxing had personally made?"
As long as the young master is unwilling to overturn the ruling made by Emperor Daxing on the Ayun case.
Then, even if the Prime Minister and the two palaces support it, it will be in vain!
Because no one dares to go against his will and make a ruling that is not in line with his wishes!
Even if the ruling is reluctantly made now, he may overturn it at any time in the future if he takes charge!
Maybe, you might even offend him!
Besides being smart, handsome, benevolent and filial, the most impressive characteristic of this young master is that he has a good memory and can hold grudges!
This matter is known to both the government and the public!
Han Wei, Feng Jing and others knew this, so they bowed their heads obediently.
Otherwise, how could they leave Bianjing so easily?
Sima Guang was stunned when he heard this. This was a possibility that he had never thought of.
Or something he didn't want to think about.
Now that Sun Gu had pointed it out, Sima Guang suddenly became dejected.
"If so..."
"What else can I do?"
Sun Gu shook his head and said: "There are still many things that can be done..."
"For example, the truce was eliminated, the corvee was light and the tax was light, the laws of Xining and Yuanfeng were revised..."
"Han Zihua is doing well in Dutang now!"
Sima Guang shook his head, but in front of Sun Gu, the person who might finally support him, he could only restrain his temper and said: "I hope so!"
So, the next day, Sima Guang wrote again.
This time, he took the initiative to invite the county!
