Zhao Xu's understanding of Sima Guang is relatively clear.
If Sima Guang were to consider this matter, there would probably be no answer in the end.
Historically, Sima Guang fought with Wang Anshi like that, but he never thought of playing tricks, so he went directly to Luoyang to study books and kept silent about political affairs for fifteen years. It was not until Zhao Xu died that he returned to the Central Committee .
Of course, the same goes for Wang Anshi. If you want to do something, do it openly and admit defeat. Unlike Cai Jing and others, who use various means to protect their power.
Because Wang Anshi and Sima Guang did not seek power, but the prosperity of the country.
Sima Guang has been suffering a lot in his heart these days, and today he came to the imperial city in a daze, mumbling.
"Sima Guang, Sima Guang, how could you do such a thing? Even if Zhang San is willing to seek justice for Lu Shen, as far as I am concerned, he is using Lu Shen. If something happens in the middle, I'm afraid my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life. No, you can't do this. After I'm released from office, I'll go find Zhang San and make it clear."
After firming up his thoughts, Sima Guang suddenly felt extremely relaxed, his dazed eyes became brighter, and his steps became more solid.
"Junshi is here!"
When Sima Guang entered the political hall, he saw Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo looking at him and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "No wonder you mentioned the case of Suizhou Zhonge and Lu Shen last time."
Sima Guang couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and hurriedly walked over, "What do you think Mr. Wen said?"
Lu Gongzhu said in surprise: "Don't you know?"
Sima Guang said: "What do I know?"
Lu Gong wrote: "Isn't it true that some officials in Yanzhou were impeached for using their official positions to enslave soldiers?"
Sima Guang frowned: "You all know."
Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo nodded at the same time.
Sima Guang said curiously: "In the past two years, whenever there is some outrageous behavior, local officials will impeach him. This has long been commonplace, and the officials never pay attention to it, so not many people pay attention to this matter."
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "This time the incident seems to have become quite big. Some officials took advantage of this incident to imply that the officials were partial to Zhong E, so that Zhong E is now lawless and does not obey orders."
"This will happen."
Sima Guang couldn't help but frown.
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu immediately looked at each other, and Lu Gongzhu asked: "Jun Shi, are you hiding something from us?"
Sima Guang glanced at the two of them guiltily, sat down, sighed, and then told the two of them the whole story.
Lu Gongzhu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Sima Guang and said: "Jun Shi! You have let that boy Zhang San lead you into trouble!"
Sima Guang also slapped his forehead in frustration, "I was really obsessed at the time."
Wen Yanbo asked: "Didn't you do this?"
Sima Guang shook his head and said: "I was planning to tell Zhang San just now, but we can't do this."
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Did Wang Jiefu do it?"
Sima Guang thought for a moment, waved his hand, and sighed: "No matter who did it, it was all because of me. If I hadn't been able to hold back and go to Zhang San that day, why would this have happened!"
Wen Yanbo thought for a while and said: "If Zhang San can really build up the public security system in the local area, and at the same time he will not unjustly accuse Lu Shen, this strategy is not bad."
Mr. Lu nodded slightly.
Sima Guang held his forehead and sighed: "But in the end I am using Lu Shen. How will I face him in the future?"
Wen Yanbo said: "The matter has come to this, and I'm afraid you can't change anything. Besides, there are indeed many people who are still dissatisfied with the Suizhou case. At that time, Lu Shen had the opportunity to return to the court and become the prime minister. However, since then, his career has been in decline. If you go further, you will inevitably feel grievances in your heart.
And that kind of judgment is also very uncomfortable. Everyone is watching everything and being impeached every now and then. Why not take this opportunity to settle the case? It is a kind of adult beauty! "
"What Duke Wen said is true."
Lu Gongzhu nodded, "Having said that, it is not an easy task to build the public security system in the northwest region. If Zhang San is willing to go, it is not an exaggeration to give him a little help."
Sima Guang glanced at the two of them, "Are you two trying to comfort me?"
Wen Yanbo joked: "I can't comfort you with your stubborn character."
Lu Gongzhu laughed.
They misunderstood Wang Anshi. Of course, Wang Anshi did not do this, but Zhao Xu manipulated it.
For things like arching fire, Zhao Xu is definitely a professional.
Because when the emperor wants to deal with any minister, he usually sends people secretly to fan the flames in the court. If others light the fire, it may not be ignited, but if the emperor wants to do this, the fire will be lit one by one.
No big deal can set you on fire.
Soon, the matter broke out in the court.
Settling old accounts is what these officials love to do.
In particular, many civil servants were very dissatisfied with Zhao Xu's favoritism. Since someone wanted to make trouble, they all stood up and spoke.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.
"Ji Fu, you came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
"What's up."
"Have you heard about the Suizhou case?"
"heard."
Lu Huiqing nodded, "Actually, I'm a little puzzled by this matter. It comes out of nowhere."
Wang Anshi said: "Don't many ministers hope to transfer Zhang San to the northwest? You secretly suggested that Zhang San be allowed to try the case and build the local public security law."
Lu Huiqing hurriedly asked: "Is this the work of my mentor?"
Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "I guess it was Sima Junshi who did it, but it doesn't matter. I have talked with Zhang San before. He is willing to go to the northwest to manage the salt policy. If the salt policy is not managed well, the salt money will probably be gone." It won’t last long.”
Lu Huiqing said: "But if he goes, he will either be in the procuratorate or go to the imperial court, and the salt administration will not be under his control."
Wang Anshi said: "He is only responsible for rectifying the officialdom and eliminating corruption. As for the salt administration, I will arrange for Yuan Jiang to take over Xue Xiang's position and serve as the transfer envoy."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "Bachelor Yuan is really a good candidate. He is one of the few bachelors in the Hanlin Academy who supports his mentor's New Deal. In addition, he once managed the salt policy in Hebei and achieved good political results."
Wang Anshi smiled and nodded, and added: "Actually, it's okay to transfer Zhang San. He is here, and he often interrupts my new policy. The plans we made have been changed more than once because of him. .”
Lu Huiqing also had a deep understanding of this. From time to time, Zhang Fei came up with legal methods, and from time to time made a self-declaration, so that they could only watch from the sidelines.
In fact, Wang Anshi was a little unhappy when he declared on his own last time, because Zhang Fei did not tell him the truth at that time. Both he and Sima Guang were actually very passive.
Fortunately, it was successful. What if it had not failed?
Wang Anshi was a little confused at that time.
You have to find another place for Zhang Fei to do the trouble. In short, don't stay in the capital.
The Qingmiao Method will be released soon. If Zhang Fei causes another incident, Wang Anshi will really be depressed to death.
Initially, everyone was still debating the case, but when Lu Huiqing quietly fanned the flames, officials from the DPRK and China soon formed a tacit understanding to use this matter to drive Zhang Fei out of Bianjing.
You kid, go and harm others.
Of course, it is best to be harmed by others.
Whether it's for Zhang Fei's good or to harm Zhang Fei, he will be pushed to the northwest.
That's a great place to go.
Zhang family.
"So fast?"
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zun in surprise.
It had only been ten and a half days before the incident started.
It can only be said that the emperor is a cow.
Xu Zun sighed: "Originally, everyone was arguing about whether Zhong E and Lu Shen were right or wrong, but now no one is talking about this case. It seems that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty want to transfer you to the northwest as an official."
"Really?"
Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "Do they hate me so much?"
Xu Zundao: "It's best if you plan this matter yourself, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle."
He didn't know about it, and he didn't even pay attention to the case at first, because since the tax exemption, the procuratorate's affairs have become more and more busy, and he was also very busy. It was only later that everyone implicated Zhang Fei in the case, and he I realized something was wrong!
Zhang Fei immediately told Xu Zun the whole story.
"I see!" Xu Zun stroked his beard and asked: "In other words, you are going to the imperial court, not the procuratorate?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zun frowned and said, "With your talents, is this Procuratorate the most suitable for you?"
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I was able to succeed because I was lucky enough to meet you, my father-in-law, and later I met Magistrate Lu, Bachelor Sima, and Bachelor Wang. If I had first met Wang Wenshan and his like, I might have been dead long ago." . But I can’t always be so lucky. Only when the public security system is established and perfected will my Erbi method be more useful.”
Xu Zun nodded slightly.
Indeed it is.
Nowadays, it is an official position, and you can go to court with your pen, no matter what is right or wrong, as long as you make the master unhappy, he can slap you.
Zhang Fei asked: "Father-in-law, can you approve my going?"
Xu Zun was startled and said with a smile: "If you are sure, of course I will support you to go. I am the prime minister. Who has not experienced the northwest? You go there to be the president of the court at such a young age. If you can make some achievements, this The future is limitless!"
Being a doctor in the Imperial College, even the youngest doctor, is like that.
But if you can manage the northwest well, you will definitely be a general and a prime minister when you come back.
Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Fu Bi all came from the northwest.
That is the only way to become prime minister.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "There is still some certainty, but it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen."
Xu Zun nodded with a smile and said: "If you can think like this, that's the best. Alas, many things cannot be forced. Let's talk about Lu Shen in this case. He has been honest throughout his life and has made many meritorious deeds. But this is it. This incident will make him no longer have the chance to be promoted. Time is fate, and many things cannot be forced."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "My father-in-law's sincere teachings will definitely be remembered by my son-in-law."
Xu Zun chuckled: "That's not necessary. What I teach may not be right. If you follow what I teach, I'm afraid you will be far worse than you are now. Look at Xiao'er!"
At this point, he shook his head.
His son is obsessed with poetry and ancient books. He has no ambition in the officialdom and is just dawdling. In fact, Xu Zun was not willing to let Xu Lingxiao enter the official position at that time, thinking that he was not qualified. Later, when Zhao Xu came to the throne, he wanted to find a group of people to show favor, so Xu Lingxiao was included.
This means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Xu Lingxiao suddenly walked in, "Dad."
Xu Zun asked: "Is something wrong?"
Xu Lingxiao glanced at Zhang Fei and replied, "My son is here to remind my sister-in-law that it's time to go to Baifun Tower."
Zhang Fei exclaimed: "I almost forgot about this."
Xu Zun yelled: "What are you doing in Baifanlou?"
Zhang Fei said: "Father-in-law, didn't you read yesterday's romance report?"
Xu Zun shook his head and said, "I rarely read that newspaper."
Zhang Fei said: "Today is the launch of the collection of Yan Gong's poems, and there will be a drama staged at Baifanlou later."
His idea seemed to open another window for Yan Jidao and Fu Shichun. They were very fascinated. The rehearsal was endless, which made Fan Zheng very unhappy. After rehearsing for so long, I have to do business in this building!
Zhang Fei knew that he could not stay in the capital for long, so he also urged them to hurry up.
Finally decided to give it a try first.
"Conference? Drama?"
But Xu Zun was confused when he heard this.
Zhang Fei immediately explained.
Xu Zun smiled and said, "I'm afraid you did it too."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Father-in-law, are you going?"
Xu Zun waved his hands and said: "I won't go. I don't like going to those places. You go ahead and be careful on the road."
"yes."
Zhang Fei went out with Xu Lingxiao who couldn't wait.
Yan Shu's poems are already deeply loved by everyone. Another press conference for the collection of poems will whet everyone's appetite. As soon as the news came out yesterday, the Bailun Tower was already fully booked.
Xu Lingxiao liked this very much and wanted to take a look, but the problem was that he didn't have enough financial resources to grab a seat. Fortunately, his sister-in-law was very capable and had a VVVVVIP card.
The two of them took a carriage to the Bailun Tower. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw groups of young talents chatting as they walked into the building.
"Brother Xu Xian!"
Suddenly I heard someone shouting.
Xu Lingxiao turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry about me."
He didn't want to watch it with Xu Lingxiao. He was afraid that he would fall asleep later and affect Xu Lingxiao's interest.
Xu Lingxiao couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Now you have to take care of me. Without you, I can't get in!
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and then said: "Oh, just tell me my name when you get started."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
"Brother, be careful."
"The same to you."
After Xu Lingxiao left, Zhang Fei looked around, "Isn't that guy from the Yamen here?"
Cao Dongdong didn't notice, but he saw an old man who surprised him. He hurried over and said, "Zhang San has met Mr. Fu."
It was Fu Bi who came.
Fu Bi chuckled and said, "Is this your idea for this press conference?"
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Fu to come as well."
Fu Bi said angrily: "Mr. Yan is my father-in-law. Can I come and see you?"
father in law? Ouch! It seems true. Zhang Fei suddenly remembered this.
Fu Bi frowned again and said, "If you want to sell poetry collections, why don't you just sell them directly? What kind of press conferences and dramas did you hold? If my father-in-law knew about it, he might not be happy."
Zhang Fei sighed bitterly: "I have no choice but to ask the rich man to forgive me. Who made Yan Gong's poems so exquisite and breathtaking? Hearing them makes me feel like I am immersed in the scene, so I think of using a poem. A deductive way to express Yan Gong’s words.”
"Okay! Okay!"
Fu Bi quickly raised his hand to stop him, "If I ask you to say it again, I might be unfilial. This is the Yan family's business after all, and I have no right to interfere. You don't have to tell me this."
Yesterday, a friend invited me to dinner. I originally expected to go back after eating, but later I was dragged to a KTV and played until past twelve o'clock. Sorry sorry! There will be another chapter posted around six o'clock.
