The next day, Bianjing Xinbao published a heavyweight report on the front page.
Directly exposed the scandal of the Wang family!
Suddenly, the government and the public were in an uproar.
Yushitai immediately started impeachment!
Do you dare to act recklessly during the period of mourning?
This unfilial son must be expelled from the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats!
And the record of Wang Zhongxiu's punishment back then was actually erased by someone from the court and the court?
After seeing the news, the crows were as excited as chicken blood!
This is KPI delivered to your door!
So they just kept doing nothing and even the dead Wang Gui was dragged out and whipped!
Anyway, the palace doesn’t like this old prime minister!
After Wang Gui's violent death last year, the two palaces did not even arrange a posthumous title. As for the Shinto monument and the emperor's funeral ceremony, the routine procedures for the death of a prime minister were not even seen.
This shows that the palace is also very unhappy with Wang Gui!
This risk-free impeachment is the crows' favorite.
So the crows screamed, requesting that Wang Zhongxiu's writing be destroyed since his birth, and some even wanted to send him to Salmon Island to keep company with sharks!
At the same time, they also demanded that the dukedom of Xi State given to Wang Gui should be recovered, that the title of Duke Ziguanglu should be taken away from him, and that the mansion given to Wang Gui should be recovered.
Of course, the censors did not forget to pull Zhang Dun out and step on him.
Especially those censors from the old party.
Wang Zhan, Lu Tao, Zhu Guangting and others used this incident as an excuse to directly tie up Wang Gui and Zhang Dun.
Overtly and covertly, everyone was criticizing Wang Gui and Zhang Dun.
By the way, quietly, the new party members were bundled together and trampled.
Open fire on the new party in terms of morality, character, words and deeds, etc.
This made the censors of the New Party immediately alert.
An Dun, Zhang Ruxian and others immediately stopped participating in this matter and kept their mouths shut.
In the palace, there is only one attitude toward these impeachments—to keep them all in check.
…
"Your Majesty is so kind to you, and I am so grateful to this poor monk. After returning home, I will chant sutras and pray for Your Majesty day and night, in order to ask the Buddha to protect Your Majesty!"
The great monk wearing purple cassock bowed his head in the hall.
This is the speech of the monk Yi Tianzai of the Goryeo Dynasty who entered the court in March.
He is about to embark on the road back to his country.
And Zhao Xu was very considerate to this great monk from Goryeo.
Not only was he given the Buddhist Sutras, Buddhist treasures, etc. to the Interpretation Heaven again.
He was even given a purple robe and cassock, which was a very valuable treasure to the monk.
It is something that great monks all over the world are pursuing.
Monks from countries like Korea and Japan who came to the Song Dynasty to seek Dharma even dreamed of one.
Especially Japanese monks!
You know, at this time, Japan was at the end of the so-called Heian Era.
The great monks in the country are very powerful.
He would send troops at every turn to intimidate the court.
At this time, one of the compulsory courses for Japanese monks was the art of war!
Moreover, this tradition has lasted for hundreds of years. If Zhao Xu remembers correctly, the later Yixiang Yikui was passed down from the Heian period.
However, as the saying goes, foreign monks like to chant sutras.
Be it Korea or Japan.
A monk recognized by the Song Dynasty and given the highest level of purple robe.
As long as he returns alive, he is enough to become a religious leader.
This is also one of the reasons why Japanese monks came to the Song Dynasty again and again to seek Dharma.
After getting the purple robe of the Song Dynasty, you can compete with the nobles in Ping'an Jing after you go back!
Whoever is dissatisfied should put on purple robes, bring the believers, and lift up the Buddha treasure to Luo!
Choosing to give Shi Yitian the purple robe was something that Zhao Xu had considered for a long time.
First of all, it is naturally because this great monk has a profound influence in Goryeo, and he has always been close to the Song Dynasty.
Secondly, it is for trade.
From Dengzhou to Gaoli, the distance by sea is very short.
As long as a stable shipping route is opened, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue can be earned every year.
It can even lay the foundation for deceiving Korean people into using Jiaozi in the future.
Something like Jiaozi.
Although Zhao Xu did not have much financial knowledge, he also understood that it would be too stupid to just circulate it in the Song Dynasty!
Jiaozi should be allowed to go out.
Let everyone in the world enjoy the blessings of the Song Dynasty's high-value currency.
"When you return home this time, you must convey my good intention to deepen trade with your country to everyone in your country." Zhao Xu said: "And wait for me to say hello to the King of Korea."
"Your Majesty's kind wishes, I will definitely convey them to our king."
"Yeah!" Zhao Xu nodded and said to Shi Yitian: "I heard that your lord likes poetry, so I ordered someone to prepare a few poems by our country's poets and give them to your lord for your appreciation!"
As he spoke, Zhao Xu clapped his hands.
Feng Jing came to Shi Yitian holding a jade plate.
The jade plate contains the original handwritings of famous poets of the Song Dynasty!
Among them, there is a new poem written by Su Shi recently.
When Xie Yitian saw the signatures on the original poems, he swallowed his saliva and immediately thanked: "Your Majesty loves my Lord so much. I, a poor monk, thank you again on my Lord's behalf!"
The current King of Goryeo is Shi Yitian's brother.
Of course Shi Yitian knows where his brother's weakness lies?
Poetry!
Yes, his brother has loved poetry since he was a child and admired the style of the literati of the Song Dynasty.
It is a pity that because of the isolation of the Liao Kingdom and the isolation of the sea, we have never been able to appreciate the writing style of the poets and lyricists of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, God knows that his brother will be ecstatic whenever he sees these poems.
Especially the poem signed by Dongpo.
To his brother, it is priceless!
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite."
"I, as well as my emperor, have high hopes for your country..."
Shi Yitian bowed and remained silent.
Both countries knew that the closeness of Goryeo and the Song Dynasty had only one reason - the two countries had a common enemy: the Liao Kingdom.
Relatively speaking, Goryeo had a more immediate sense of crisis than the Song Dynasty.
In the past, the Liao people invaded Goryeo in large numbers many times, which made Goryeo sleepless at night and always worried about the country's subjugation.
To this day, they still occupy Boju (now Uiju, North Korea) in Goryeo.
The Koreans have been quarreling with the Liao people over this matter.
Therefore, although the current King of Goryeo has been on the throne for two or three years, he still did not send anyone to notify the Liao Kingdom of the canonization, nor did he send envoys to pay homage as usual.
This is the background of the rapid close relationship between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo.
Zhao Xu knew these things clearly in his heart.
Therefore, when Shi Yitian first entered the court, he was already deliberately building a relationship with Shi Yitian.
Now, they have further released their goodwill, not only giving him a purple robe and cassock, but also collecting more than ten poems as a stepping stone.
Shi Yitian lowered his head after listening to Zhao Xu's words.
"Your Majesty's intention, I will convey it to the Lord of our country exactly as it is." He pondered for a long time before choosing a satisfactory answer.
For Goryeo, he naturally hoped that through his relationship with the Song Dynasty, he could force the Liao Kingdom to make concessions on the border issue.
This is called coercing the enemy into self-respect, and it is also about striving for the value of united front.
But the Koreans never wanted to anger the Liao people and trigger a large-scale invasion of the Liao Kingdom.
Even if they don't actually have Liao phobia - the Koreans once defeated the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and smiled.
It does not matter!
Tomorrow he will accidentally spill the beans when he meets with the Liao envoy Yeluju.
Just to fan the flames, just to avoid chaos in the world!
It would be best to provoke a war between the Liao and Goryeo people.
So he can sell arms!
