Arriving at the political hall, Gao Shi personally handed the book to Cui Yu and said, "Ms. Cui, the official said that we will know your thoughts after reading this book in three days. Please hurry up and read it."
Cui Yu took the book with a solemn expression, nodded, and said: "I understand, thank you, Eunuch Gao."
After Gao Shi left, Cui Yuyu did not read the book, but just put it on his desk.
Cui Yuyu didn't read this book, that's because he had read it a long time ago. It should be noted that Cui Yuyu was once a passionate young man who was determined to serve the country. How could he not know the ins and outs of Wang Anshi's reform?
At Shenshi, it was time for the official to go on duty. Cui Yu left the duty room, left the political hall, and returned to his mansion.
On the way, Cui Yu, who was sitting in a sedan, heard beatings and cries coming from the street. He lifted the curtain and saw that two patrol soldiers were driving away a father and daughter.
A soldier kicked the father and cursed loudly: "Under the emperor's feet, there is prosperity. You, a scoundrel, come here to sell your sons and daughters. Whose face do you want to slap? Get out, if you don't get out, I will beat you to death."
The father and daughter were dragged away by the government officials. Although they were gone, the cry and begging of the father and daughter could still be heard. It was really pitiful.
Cui Yu watched all this with clear eyes, and finally put down the curtain and continued to return home. In his hand, Cui Yu held the book that Zhao Yun gave him more tightly.

The next day, Banjing Pavilion.
Wan Yanli, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin, went to the head of the Banjing Pavilion and said angrily: "When exactly will you arrange for me to see your emperor? I have been waiting here for more than ten days. If you neglect the envoy, this is how you, the Song people, will be treated.
Is this the guest's way?"
Qian Li, the director of Banjing Pavilion, forced out a smile and said: "Please wait for a few more days for the envoy. Our official family has many things to do, and it is really helpless that we can't spare the time. I have also informed the superiors and strive to let the envoy go as soon as possible."
Meet our official family."
"snort."
Wan Yanli snorted dissatisfied and said, "I give you three days to arrange for me to see your emperor. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences yourself."
After saying that, Wan Yanli waved his hand unceremoniously and left.
The official on the side was uneasy and said: "Sir, the envoy from the Jin Kingdom is probably impatient. Should we go to the Ministry of Rites to urge him again?"
"What the hell."
Qian Li cursed angrily and said, "Do you think they have any good intentions? They don't want us, the Song Dynasty, to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom. I want my officer to urge him. It's a good idea."
As soon as Qian Li finished speaking, the Ministry of Rites sent Cui Cheng, the Minister of Rites, and with Cui Cheng there were more than thirty people from the front office.
Qian Li hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Cui Cheng waved his hand and said: "The official's decree is to expel the envoys of the Jin Kingdom immediately, and they are not allowed to stay in our territory of the Song Dynasty anymore."
Qian Li and the Banjing officials were both surprised. They didn't expect that Zhao Yun had such a tough attitude towards the Kingdom of Jin. He even expelled people directly without even meeting him!
After realizing the reaction, Qian Li was excited and immediately ordered someone to inform Wanyan that he should leave Banjing Guan immediately and not stay.
When Wan Yanli learned that he was expelled, he was furious. He ran to Cui Cheng and cursed: "What do you mean, your emperor dares to expel me? I am the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and your emperor knows the consequences of expelling me.
?"
"Bold, dare to disrespect the officials, take it down, give it thirty blows, and throw it out of Lin'an."
Cui Cheng didn't talk nonsense to him, and directly ordered someone to beat Wanyan Li to the ground. The imperial guards in front of the palace immediately stepped forward to take him away.
Wanyan Li and his entourage were naturally unwilling to be beaten, but the Imperial Guards in front of the palace were well prepared, their bows and arrows were already drawn, and their swords were already unsheathed, so how dare they really resist.
Besides, this is Lin'an, and just a few of them are not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
Soon, Wan Yanli and his party were subdued by the imperial guards in front of the palace. Amidst their curses, the palace guards slapped them one by one, causing many onlookers to cheer loudly.
"Well done, none of these wolf cubs from the Kingdom of Jin are good."
"Isn't that right? We, the Song Dynasty, spent a lot of money on giving them in vain. This time we finally got tough. The officials are still wise and powerful."
The people praised him endlessly, but some officials and scholars were impatient. They actually publicly presented the memorial and spoke for the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. This was really beyond Zhao Yun's expectation.
The first memorial was written by Ma Xianchun, the censor of Yushitai. In the memorial, he accused Zhao Yun of being too rude and unreasonable in treating the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. He did not have the hospitality of the Central Plains Dynasty at all, and was contrary to the teachings of the saints.
He advised Zhao Yun to correct his mistakes immediately and bring back the Jin envoy to treat him warmly, hoping to get the Jin envoy's forgiveness.
After reading the memorial, Zhao Yun was so angry that he fell to the ground. Zhao Yun said angrily: "This Ma Xianchun, doesn't he know the purpose of the Jin envoy coming to the Song Dynasty? I think he has been kneeling for a long time. I don't know why.
He stood and spoke."
Zhao Yun wanted to convict Ma Xianchun, but unfortunately he was the imperial censor and had the privilege of being innocent. Zhao Yun could not convict him because of this memorial.
However, how could Zhao Yun feel better without saying this?
Zhao Yun called Gao Shi and said, "Tell Zhang Chu and ask him to check this Ma Xianchun for me. I don't believe his butt is clean. Check it immediately. Check it for me right away."
"yes."
Gao Shi rarely saw Zhao Yun so angry, so he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly went to do it.
Then, Zhao Yun read two more memorials in succession to speak for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin. Zhao Yun was also rude and ordered Zhang Chu to investigate them one by one.
"snort."
Zhao Yun was so angry, "You have these soft bones and your elbows are turned outwards. I will teach you how to stand and talk now!"
"Your Majesty, calm down and don't get so angry over these little things."
Gao Shi was worried about Zhao Yun and respectfully comforted him.
Zhao Yun realized that he seemed to be a little too irritable and did not conform to the example of an emperor, so he subconsciously took a deep breath to calm down.
After a while, Zhao Yun's mood stabilized, he sat back at the desk and continued to review the memorial.
At this time, Ge Hong, the Minister of Rites, came.
After Ge Hong saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, the New Year is coming soon. The reign name of the late emperor will be discontinued. It is time to use your Majesty's reign name. The new reign name must be drafted as soon as possible. I have selected three reign names. Please ask your Majesty to
Royal View."
Zhao Yun took the document submitted by Ge Hong, and the three year names selected on it were "Baoqing", "Zhuoyou" and "Jingding".
Zhao Yun thought that since the Han Dynasty, the emperor had changed his reign name at every turn. Some emperors even had more than a dozen reign names. Not to mention that others could not remember it, the emperor himself would probably have difficulty remembering it.
This is really troublesome. Unlike the emperors after the Ming Dynasty, they only had one reign title for their whole life. This is very convenient.
