On Bingshen in May of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the two palaces thought that Li Xian had been appointed as the guardian of the Daxing Emperor's mountain mausoleum. They ordered Zhaoxuan envoy and Changzhou governor to move in and escort Liang Congji to temporarily fill the official duties of Xihelanhui Road, pending appointment by the court.
.
Liang Congji is a veteran among the ministers, and he is a general who is extremely brave in combat!
When he was young, he was once surrounded by Western bandits, but he led more than 700 people to break out of the siege. After breaking out of the siege, his body was examined and he was found to have suffered more than 20 wounds all over his body.
Besides, his ways are very wild.
Wen Yanbo—his old acquaintance. When Wen Yanbo quelled the Wangze Rebellion in Beizhou, Liang Congji was the supervisor.
Gao Zunyu - Liang Congji once served as Gao Zunyu's supervisor. When the Western bandits flooded Lingwu, legend has it that it was Liang Congji who rescued Gao Zunyu from the flood.
Therefore, after Li Xian, it is most appropriate to temporarily let him deal with Xihe Road.
That is, the management strategy of Xihe Road makes the selection a problem.
The two palaces recalled several ministers and planned to look at them one by one before making a choice.
On this day, Kumamoto, who had already taken up his duties as Jingdong Metropolis Road, sent someone back the post he had written on the people's livelihood of Guangnan West Road.
The two palaces were about to send a message to Zhongshu Province, and ordered Zhang Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, to discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
On this morning, Zhao Xu also met the two uncles Wang and their families who came to the palace to worship again at Baoci Palace.
Of course it is a false story.
Zhao Xu must ‘ask the two uncles to accept this honor’.
But Yang Wanghao and Cao Wangfan had to risk their lives to truly accept the honor of "praise and worship without name".
So after much deliberation, I finally made the decision to the Queen Mother.
Share this honor among the two great kings’ heirs.
So the eldest son of King Yang Zhao Hao and the eldest son of King Cao were directly appointed as governors, and the other sons were also appointed as governors in the name of environmental guards or Liutong Army.
Although it is said that the official position of the clan and the remote county are actually just for fun, they can only receive a salary and have no real power at all.
But this is still great news for the clan.
This means that they have to spend ten or even twenty years less than others.
It also means that their descendants will have to work for ten years less than others.
Especially the latter, it is very important!
It should be noted that starting from the second generation of side branches, there will be obstacles to stopping the method.
Before Yingmiao established a prince, he was only a deputy envoy of the regiment training. This is proof!
The official position of the clan is linked to the salary, so it is not easy for the clan of the Song Dynasty to live and die.
Because there is a grinding method chasing him.
Disobedient, disobeying the teachings of the ancestors, and disobeying the teachings of the emperor.
Then you have to stay in a low-level position for a long time. Not only will your own money be reduced, but the starting official positions of your descendants will also be lower.
After seeing off King Yang and King Cao, Zhao Xu accompanied the Queen Mother for a while in Baoci Palace before bidding farewell to the Queen Mother.
Returning to Funing Hall, he had lunch with the Empress Dowager, and Zhao Xu took a nap for an hour and a half as usual.
When he woke up, Shi Deyi appeared in front of the curtain again.
"Everyone..." As soon as Shi De saw Zhao Xu waking up, he whispered through the curtain: "Both the Ren family and the Zhu family have people hired by the two national relatives..."
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment before reacting.
She is a relative of his biological mother, Concubine Zhu De.
"Everyone, would you like me to say hello?" Shi Deyi asked.
Zhao Xu laughed: "It's going to rain, let it be!"
What is the relationship between the Ren family and the Zhu family and Zhao Xu?
There is no emotion or blood relationship.
They are also stupidly cute!
So, let it be!
Zhao Xu could guess why Gao Gongji and Xiang Zonghui wanted to pull the Ren family and the Zhu family into the car.
One is to reciprocate the favor, and the other is to use them as a shield.
If something really happens, those people from the Ren family and the Zhu family are the best people to blame.
The Gao family and the Xiang family are designated to be innocent and harmless to humans and animals.
Moreover, Zhao Xu even felt that the Ren family and the Zhu family might take the initiative to help the Gao family and the Xiang family to fight the thunder.
This is also something that can't be helped.
They were small families, and Concubine Zhu De had no ability to take care of them.
Zhao Xu is even less likely to take care of it.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Xu asked.
Shi Deyi replied in a low voice: "There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it..."
"Say!" Zhao Xu spoke directly.
"The high-ranking Gan Chengli was impeached by the supervisory censor Andun on Jinghu South Road and North Road. He illegally killed craftsmen and killed many people..." Shi Deyi said.
"Gan Chengli?" Zhao Xu had no impression at all. He thought he was a guy who relied on the imperial power to pretend to be powerful outside. This kind of minister who pretends to be a grandson in Bianjing City and seeks death in a high-profile way occurs every year.
"How did An Dun know?" Zhao Xu has always had a keen sense of politics - this is innate, otherwise he would not have been able to thrive in modern times, let alone gain power in his previous life!
"This..." Shi Deyi replied: "It is said that An Dun has long known about Gan Chengli's misdeeds outside through Xie Jingwen..."
Zhao Xu understood it instantly as soon as he heard it.
That Gan Chengli is Andun's stock.
Just like squirrels, they store some food before winter to prepare for the winter.
The censors of the Song Dynasty would also select some lucky people and regard them as their own food reserves.
Because of their special characteristics, ministers and military ministers are the most likely to be the lucky ones chosen by the imperial censors.
When the KPI cannot be achieved, or when there is an urgent need to make a contribution, use these heads to use them.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it was often found that a certain censor encountered difficulties.
He will suddenly reveal a major case.
So... when An Dun failed to frame Lu Da Fang a few days ago, he probably knew about it?
Zhao Xu flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't worry about this!"
Although An Dun has many faults and problems.
But he is a good knife!
"Wei..." Shi Deyi slowly stepped back.
Zhao Xu returned to normal and asked Feng Jing to bring people in to help him wash up.
…
Sima Guangvolt was writing furiously on the case.
Words one by one appear on the paper.
These days, he has been writing this memorial repeatedly in his official residence.
He already knew that Dutang was gathering to discuss the matter and wanted to speak out, and Dutang was determined to drag it on.
It will take him a few months at least.
The elders who entered the capital were also preparing to leave the capital one after another.
Before the end of this month, the number of elders currently in Bianjing will be reduced by more than half.
Therefore, Sima Guang knew that he did not have much time.
He needed a message that would boost the morale of the entire old party and at the same time declare war on the new party.
And the memorial he is writing now is his battle cry.
A sharp arrow that pierces the weakest point of the new party and can shake the legal foundation of the entire new party as long as it hits!
This is his trump card to win over people's hearts and reunite the scattered old party.
Although Sima Guang is very stubborn, he is not stupid!
He has now seen the retreat of the elders. Even young people like Fan Chunren, who fought resolutely against the evil laws of the New Party in the past, feel that enough is enough and even have the idea of compromise!
How can this work?
Compromise means that Wang Anshi's evil methods can be preserved.
It also means that in the future, those evil laws that have been abolished now may be revived!
Especially the recent imperial examination and tribute examination, although the two palaces know that the tribute examination will probably restore the poetry examination questions of the Jiayou era.
However, in the imperial examination of classics and meanings, Wang Anshi's New Meanings and Words of the Three Classics were still used as a reference.
reason?
Those who knew the tribute and promoted Xu generals, and those who knew the tribute and promoted Lu tenants were all disciples of Wang Anshi!
As long as these villains still occupy the court, they will continue to poison the world and even the young master!
Sima Guang is continuing to write.
There was a knock on the door. He raised his head and saw Fan Zuyu at the door.
"Ms. Sir..." Fan Zuyu said, "I just received a personal letter from Mr. Lu!"
Sima Guang immediately stood up and asked, "Has there been a letter from Uncle Lu Hui?"
"Come with me quickly!"
Fan Zuyu quickly handed the letter he just received to Sima Guang's hand.
Sima Guang opened the letter and took a look, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Lu Hui will be able to enter Beijing in a few days!!"
Lu Gongzhu was born in the famous Lu family in Shouzhou. The Lu family has been the prime minister of the Song Dynasty for generations since Lu Mengzheng!
His father, Lu Yijian, was the prime minister of Renmiao, and his brother, Lu Gongbi, was the privy envoy during the Xining period.
Lu Gongzhu's entry into Beijing gave Sima Guang hope.
Lu Gongzhu could not only help him persuade the old party elders - Lu Gongzhu also had close relations with the two palaces and the Yang family and Cao family's relatives.
His father, Lu Yijian, was famous for his close relationship with the court during the Renmiao era!
The most important thing is that Lu Gongzhu once served as a prime minister!
He is familiar with the structure of the capital and is well versed in political skills.
With Mr. Lu in the New Party, it will be impossible for villains to try to trap people at will!
Sima Guang put down the letter and was delighted.
He walked to his desk and looked at the draft that had been revised several times.
"When Uncle Lu Hui comes to Beijing, I will discuss the content of this memorial with him!"
"This book will surely make everyone tremble once it is published!"
Sima Guang has full confidence in this.
He believed that after this memorial was published, not only young people like Fan Chunren would follow him into battle again.
Even veterans Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping may change their minds!
After listening to Sima Guang's words, Fan Zuyu glanced curiously at the letter written by Sima Guang.
As soon as he saw the first sentence, Fan Zuyu's eyes flashed with light.
Because that is indeed the Achilles heel of the new party!
At least in the eyes of most old party literati!
"The king who steals the throne rules the world only by laws! Those who kill will die. This has always been the case since the beginning of punishment!"
Looking at these words, every word is precious.
Fan Zuyu's heart surged.
He looked at Sima Guang, bowed his hands and said, "Ms. Sir, this article is truly for all people in the world!"
Since the Dengzhou Ayun case, criminal punishment has also become the standard for dividing the new party from the old party!
Those who support the idea that those who kill should die and those who hurt others should be punished are almost all from the old party.
And those who support cautious punishment and careful killing are the New Party!
It is the old party that supports the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the new party that believes in judicial review of crime, and only the law!
And this is not just punishment!
It’s also orthodox!
The foundation of the new law lies on this!
Sima Guang originally did not want to point his sword at this so quickly - this would stimulate the new party to unite, make them share the same hatred, and even make Wang Anshi of Jiangning jump up!
But now he has to.
The elders are all shrinking, even Fan Chunren is shrinking!
Therefore, Sima Guang didn't care about so many things!
Start war directly, declare war directly!
There will be an additional chapter 4 later, but it may be a little later!
PS: The new party and the old party are not only opposed to each other in economic policies, but also ideologically, and even more legally and ideologically!
That’s why the Dengzhou Ayun case is so critical! Some people even say that after Sima Guang came to power, he specifically tried this case again (but I personally think it’s impossible. Sima Guang was paranoid, but not a murderer, not to mention he was aloof.
It is impossible for a scholar-bureaucrat to be entangled with a small peasant woman, but the Ayun case is definitely a thorn in the side of the old party.)
