Chapter 99 The System of Large and Small Phases (First update, please vote for me)
Back in the palace, Zhao Xu was immediately taken to the bedroom of Baoci Palace by the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang.
"How did Sixth Brother know about Yaqianyu?" Queen Mother Xiang asked after Zhao Xu sat down, holding his hand.
The Queen Mother also looked over.
Zhao Xu was well prepared. He smiled and said, "I just wrote down all the teachings of my father!"
Then he looked at the Queen Mother with excitement: "Queen Mother, how did you behave in front of the two senators today?"
Empress Dowager Xiang immediately looked at the Empress Dowager and said: "Mother, let me tell you, this must be the order of Emperor Daxing. You still don't believe it!"
The Empress Dowager suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
She and Empress Dowager Xiang were not worried about anything else. What they were worried about was that someone was secretly teaching the officials badly!
If that were the case, it would not only be dangerous, but also a direct provocation to her and the Queen Mother!
The official family is her grandson and the son of Queen Mother Xiang.
Except for the two of them, no one else can talk to officials about government affairs or state affairs without permission.
No matter what their intentions are, they all despise the two palaces and harbor evil intentions.
Now, look at the appearance and expression of the official family.
The Empress Dowager was finally relieved.
Xiaoguan is only eight years old. He has always been filial and kind, and he will not lie to others.
However, just in case, the Empress Dowager still asked: "How come Sixth Brother remembers it so clearly?"
Zhao Xu opened a pair of clear eyes unique to a child and said seriously: "This is the teaching of a saint!"
"The nature of heaven and earth is that human beings are noble. There is nothing greater than filial piety, and there is nothing greater filial piety than a strict father..." Zhao Xu memorized the Filial Piety Sutra seriously.
Then he said: "So, I dare not forget a word of what my father told me!"
"Morning, evening, morning and dusk, recite it silently in your heart..."
hiss……
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang both showed incredible expressions.
Is this child actually like this?
Zhao Xu continued: "After my father ascended to the throne, my mother-in-law and queen mother's advice and teachings, my son did not dare or forgot, but still kept it in his heart..."
With that said, Zhao Xu earnestly memorized the teachings and advice given to him by the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang.
After hearing this, the two palaces were deeply relieved and had no doubts in their hearts.
Especially Queen Mother Xiang, who immediately hugged Zhao Xu: "Good boy! What a good boy for the Queen Mother!"
With such a beautiful son, what more could I ask for?
The Queen Mother was also extremely satisfied, looking at Zhao Xu's expression, full of admiration.
She felt that she no longer had to worry about the Gao family's wealth being unguaranteed a hundred years from now.
I have such a filial grandson.
Gao didn't say that he would retire with his country. At least, there would be no problem in being rich and powerful for another hundred years!
With such a filial grandson, she will surely be praised by history a hundred years later!
The great leader of the Song Dynasty!
Compared with that day when Sima Guang praised her in front of her, she was the female middle school Yao and Shun.
The current Empress Dowager prefers to be the Tairen of the Song Dynasty!
Tai Ren raised King Wen and taught King Wu. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was no equal in the history of emperors and empresses.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager became extremely kind, so she asked softly: "Emperor Daxing, do you want to worship the Grand Master for important military affairs?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Yes, Grandmother, my father told my son that coming to pay homage to the Grand Master is an important matter for the military and the country, and it is a policy to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Song Dynasty..."
"This is also the method of our ancestors, the system of controlling the size of the big and small!"
"I don't understand, I can only keep it in my heart!"
"Mother, Queen..." Zhao Xu asked in an innocent tone: "Why can worshiping the Grand Master as the leader of the military and state affairs can ensure the long-term stability of the country?"
The Queen Mother and Queen Mother Xiang looked at each other.
Both of them remembered something.
Wen Yanbo and Wen Lu Gong, Pingzhang's military affairs are important?
Duke Wenlu is already eighty years old and has already retired from office!
However, Emperor Daxing told his sixth brother that after he entered the court, he would stay in the court and pay homage to Pingzhang, who was responsible for military and national affairs.
This official position can be seen at a glance as being the result of Emperor Daxing's strategy and arrangement.
Because the official title of the past prime ministers of the Song Dynasty was: Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi.
Now, to pay homage to Duke Wenlu is to carry out an important military and state affairs, which is to elevate his status to that of the prime minister.
But Duke Wenlu was already eighty years old.
The eighty-year-old veteran of the Four Dynasties, no matter how healthy he is, will never be able to take on any government affairs again.
It's physically impossible, and I don't have the mental ability to do so.
"The size of the system..." At this time, both palaces understood something.
Raising Wen Yanbo's status, I'm afraid, is to check and restrain...
Sima Guang, written by Lu Gong!
Although the two palaces did not speak, they both read the two names in each other's eyes.
Why?
Because, Sima Guang, written by Lu Gong, was the young master Shibao named by Emperor Daxing.
He will definitely enter the court as prime minister and assist the young master in governing.
But what if these two people are messing around, or even do something to steal authority by using their powers?
This is where Wen Yanbo’s role lies.
The elders of the four dynasties were in charge to check and balance them.
Not only that!
Wen Yanbo can not only check and balance Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu, he can also check and balance the ministers of the New Party in the DPRK.
With this thought, the two palaces' ideas were completely opened up.
They all also noticed the subtleties of Emperor Daxing's arrangement.
From now on, whenever something happens and the two palaces find it difficult to deal with, or if there are problems with the officials in the court, the two palaces will not be able to directly rebuke them.
Easy to handle!
The old ministers took action, and the elders of the four dynasties entered the palace and reprimanded him in person.
No matter Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen...
In the face of Wen Yanbo's reprimand, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
It’s not just because of Wen Yanbo’s status and qualifications.
Also because, behind Wen Yanbo stood two palaces.
The more the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang thought about it, the more they felt that Emperor Daxing's arrangement was so considerate and appropriate.
A veteran of the Four Dynasties like Wen Yanbo should use it this way!
At this time, Zhao Xu recalled in his mind that in modern times, his teacher was studying documents from the Yuanyou era with him, and talked about Sima Guang recommending Wen Yanbo to join the dynasty and serve as a Pingzhang military official who was higher than the prime minister. When I was in office, the old professor who had studied the history of the Song Dynasty all his life said something.
"Sima Guang recommends Wen Yanbo to the court for Pingzhang's important military affairs... It is definitely not something Sima Guang can think of!"
"It can only be the arrangement of a man like Lu Gongzhu who is experienced in government affairs!"
"It is also the most beautiful political deal in Yuanyou's early years!"
"Why?"
"Because Wen Yanbo, in fact, and Sima Guang have never peed in the same pot..."
"Otherwise, after the death of Mr. Fu Han, the Qiying Association would not have been suspended for so many years!"
"Now, Sima Guang recommended Wen Yanbo to re-enter the court and serve as Pingzhang, an important military and state affairs official, with a position above the prime minister... But Wen Yanbo was already eighty years old at the time. History books say that at this time, he needed to meditate every day. Meditation...even begins to require support...so it is almost impossible for Wen Yanbo to hinder Sima Guang's governance!"
"On the contrary, you can get Wen Yanbo's endorsement and become the de facto leader and absolute core of the entire old party!"
"It will further win the trust of Queen Mother Xuanren!"
Recalling these, Zhao Xu knew.
He has broken the crucial connection.
Without Wen Yanbo's endorsement, Sima Guang's halo would be much dimmed.
The best thing is... Zhao Xu had already hinted at Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang through words in the palace just now.
In fact, the exemption law was initiated by you two and then implemented by Emperor Daxing.
Therefore, for Wen Yanbo, the biggest psychological obstacle is no longer there.
Wang Anshi’s exemption from military service does not work!
Wen Yanbo-Han Jiang-The late emperor's exemption from military service is OK!
It's just a name change, how big a deal is it?
Zhao Xu believed that even if Wang Anshi from Jiangning knew about it, he would not have any objections.
If you preserve your reputation and fail to govern, both your fame and government will perish. If you preserve your government and lose your reputation, both your fame and government will survive.
As long as you open your mind, you will realize that there are many alternative ways in this world.
Now, Zhao Xu begins to look forward to how Sima Guang will respond when faced with the launch of Han Jiang and Wen Yanbo's exemption from military service after returning to Beijing.
Do you persevere to the end and vow to fight against the evil law?
Or should we take a step back and pretend that there is no such thing?
…
Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang walked out of the inner east gate.
The two elders looked at each other.
In the end, Han Jiang relented.
After all, it is he who wants to come to power, not Wen Yanbo and Wen Yanfu!
When you ask for help from others, you have to bow your head. This is the wisdom and experience of Han Jiang who has been an official for decades.
So Han Jiang bowed his hands and said: "The Grand Master is worthy of being the elder of the four dynasties, and Jane is in the sacred hearts of the officials of the four generations!"
"Emperor Daxing, I really admire the arrangement and importance of the Grand Master!"
"In the palace just now, the young master treats the grand master as a king treats the Duke of Zhou, which makes me envious!"
"One day, when I am eighty years old, if I can be like the Grand Master, I will die with a smile on my face!"
Wen Yanbo smoothed his white beard and finally said: "Zihua is serious, I am just old, and the young master and Emperor Daxing respect the veteran..."
"On the contrary, it was Zihua who first advocated the Five Laws of Rural Households back then, and Renmiao also thought it was a good idea!"
"During the period of peace, he was the first to propose changes to the conscription law in front of Emperor Daxing to help the people survive with conscription money..."
"In the future, Zihua will be one of the most outstanding figures in history!"
But he completely forgot all the accusations he made against Han Jiang in the palace.
And this was the norm in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!
I really have to worry about the attacks and the accusations against each other in the court.
Then stop living!
At that time, the wealthy Duke of Han was accused by the palace of his father, Duke Yan Yuanxian of Mount Tai, who was old and foolish and had harmed the country and the people!
But after leaving the court, Duke Fu Han came to visit with his wife.
Neither family took this seriously.
Han Jiang naturally knew the elegant meaning after hearing the Xian song.
He immediately bowed his hands and said, "I don't dare, I was just trying to practice the old wisdom of the Grand Master..."
"Even Emperor Daxing once taught the young master that the many regulations of the exemption law are actually chosen from the old wisdom of the grand master..."
Wen Yanbo's old face suddenly became rosy.
"Emperor Daxing is really Miao Zan, Miao Zan..." Wen Yanbo sighed: "In the past year, I was just picking up people's wisdom and using it from the wisdom of Han Zhongxian!"
When Han Jiang heard Wen Yanbo's words, he immediately understood and said: "Yes... yes, Han Zhongxian was the one who first advocated changes in the service law!"
Dead people will never come back to compete for dominance.
Death will not affect their reputation in history, nor will it affect their political achievements.
Note: In fact, my personal feeling and observation is that in the early years of Xining, Wen Yanbo was probably deliberately allowed by Shenzong to be Wang Anshi's opponent in the court.
Because it’s too deliberate!
This is also in line with the usual political tactics of Zhao officials, which is to control the big and small, and to confuse different opinions.
It's just that Wen Yanbo got too involved in the drama and couldn't come back...
