A decree was issued from the palace: Miying Pavilion is dilapidated and difficult to use and cannot be used as a place for the emperor's sutras and banquets. From now on, Jiying Hall will be the place for sutras and banquets!
After Zhongshu received the decree, the governors of the capital simply discussed it and replied: The Holy Will is very good, and I will obey it respectfully!
Then he ordered Yousi to change the venue of the banquet from Miying Pavilion to Jiying Hall.
As for Miying Pavilion?
Should we abolish it, stop it, or rebuild it? That’s all a matter for the future, no one cares now!
The governors all thought this was just a trivial matter and stopped paying attention after replying.
However, on this night in Bianjing Wazi.
However, this matter was spread by some thoughtful people, vividly, and even with jealousy.
In the story, the young master is a quotation from Mencius, and he cherishes the power of the people. The image of a frugal king who loves his people like his own son emerges vividly on the page.
The Merciful Saint in the two palaces is a loving young master who protects and supports wholeheartedly.
The image is simply perfect!
…
The next day, Ding Mao (the fifth day of the sixth lunar month), the Yanhe Hall listened to the government.
Andun, the imperial censor in the palace, impeached Hu Ji, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, for dereliction of duty and listed various crimes. Therefore, the two palaces issued an edict to dismiss Hu Ji, the official of Kaifeng, and ordered him to defend himself.
Huanqing Road Jingluo Si reports: The left servant imprisoned Hao Zhongtong. When he encountered thieves and invaded, he fought to the death with the thieves and died for his country. He begged for favors.
Since Hao Zhongtong had no children, Zhongshu asked Hao Zhongtong's younger brother Hao Zhonglian and nephew Hao Xiang to serve as loanees for the third class.
Follow it!
Lu Huiqing, the envoy of Hedong Road Manager, reported: In accordance with the amnesty letter issued on March 6th, the Hedong Army was exempted from the army, and the households in the state owed Yuanfeng seven years ago and bought grain and grass.
Follow it!
I have to say that Lu Huiqing's ability to find opportunities to find opportunities is really strong!
He can still grasp the direction of the court in Jialu Village. With this ability, if he can change his bad temper, stop being so aggressive, and no longer like to push people to the point of defeat.
He has returned to the three provinces and two prefectures long ago!
Why do you keep wandering around?
When the hearing was about to end, Zhao Xu suddenly stood up.
All the officials were stunned for a moment and looked at the young official who had already stood up in the hall.
Both palaces were also quite surprised.
Therefore, everyone listened to Zhao Xu clearly express his will in a childish voice: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager bless me, my hard work in government is known to the world!"
The two palaces inside the curtain suddenly laughed knowingly.
The ministers collectively prostrate themselves and obeyed orders.
"I owe my filial piety to serve the benevolent saints of the two palaces. I think about it day and night, but I have nothing to repay!"
"In addition, I have issued an edict to Yousi. The Queen Mother Kunchengjie's ancestors have decreed the oblations prescribed by the imperial edict! In addition to the old system, I have doubled the offerings to show my filial piety and admiration for my mother-in-law! In addition, I have written a letter to yousi, Taimu. The number of flowers and colors on the royal cloth used by the Empress Dowager increased by twelve each!"
"The Empress Dowager is the mother of the world, and she teaches me that the birth date of the Empress Dowager should be in accordance with the system of the Empress Dowager, and it will be used at a reduced rate!"
Naturally, all the officials supported this kind of thing and shouted: Officials are benevolent and filial.
Little did he know that Zhao Xu was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
If he doesn't mention it, someone will.
In this case, why not let him sell this good thing and please this good one?
Zhao Xu's proactive behavior made both palaces very happy.
The Empress Dowager was even more delighted with Zhao Xu and praised him repeatedly on the way back to the palace.
When Zhao Xu returned to Funing Hall, the Empress Dowager stopped the Empress Dowager who was about to return to Kunning Hall.
"Is there something wrong, Madam?" asked the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Gao Gonghui came to the palace yesterday and told me that Concubine De is the biological mother of an official family and has always been respectful... she should be given some dignity..."
"What do you think, Queen Mother?"
This was naturally an idea given to Gao Gong by a passerby named Xing.
The most amazing thing about this passerby’s vast powers is that he can always gain the trust of others!
Sima Guang's son Sima Kang became brothers with this passerby within a few days of entering Beijing.
Of course, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager Xiang knew.
He nodded to the Queen Mother: "The bride also has this thought... I don't know what kind of dignity the Queen intends to give her?"
"How is the concubine?" asked the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and nodded.
She felt that the dignity of an imperial concubine should be enough to repay Concubine De for her contribution in giving birth to her sixth brother.
"Then I will order you to report on an auspicious day..."
"As for the ceremony... now that Daxing Emperor Zi Gong is in funeral, there is no need for it..."
He bowed to the Queen Mother and said: "The bride will obey the Queen Mother's will!"
When Empress Dowager Xiang returned to the Kunning Palace, she asked Shi Deyi to invite Concubine Zhu to the Kunning Palace and tell her the good news.
Mrs. Zhu was so happy that she shed tears of gratitude and tears of gratitude.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager nodded secretly, helped Zhu up, started talking softly, and told Zhu to be worthy of her sisters from now on!
How could Zhu dare?
But Empress Dowager Xiang insisted on this, and in the end, Zhu had no choice but to obey.
Zhu left the Kunning Hall and went to the Funing Hall.
Seeing Zhao Xu reading a book in the palace, she couldn't help but happily tell Zhao Xu the good news.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "This is what my sister deserves!"
Just a princess!
But Zhu’s biggest pursuit is this!
In her previous life, she was extremely satisfied with the treatment of this concubine!
In particular, she was very happy to be allowed to enter and use the ceremonial guards that only the queen can use, and ride in the Yan Zhai car that only the queen can ride on.
Zhao Xu naturally let her go.
It’s normal now!
But after seeing off Concubine Zhu De, Zhao Xu did not forget to thank the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
He knows this matter very clearly!
The etiquette and rules are exactly the same, and then act cute and say things that the two palaces like to hear and want to hear.
Naturally, the two palaces were coaxed happily by him, especially the Empress Dowager, who felt that this move was the right one.
Therefore, an edict was issued to reward Duke Gao with five hundred bolts of silk.
…
In the past few days, Sima Guang has been asking people from the Ministry of Punishment to send him the documents on recent major cases reported by prefectures and counties all over the world.
It's a pity that he never waited for the case that he wanted and that met his needs and could arouse public opinion.
But Sima Guang was very patient.
He knew that such a case would definitely arise.
Because Wang Anshi's set of cautious punishment laws will inevitably lead to a case that stirs up the entire world's awareness of public order and good morals.
Put aside the case documents sent by the Criminal Department.
Sima Guangzheng wanted to order someone to cook a pot of tea soup for him.
Fan Zuyu hurried in from outside the door.
"Chunfu, why are you so anxious?" Sima Guang asked with a smile.
Fan Zuyu sat down, sighed, and said to Sima Guang: "But I just heard about something..."
"Um?"
"The decree of the two palaces changed the place where the young master held the banquet from Miying Pavilion to Jiying Hall!" Fan Zuyu was filled with regret.
Sima Guang asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because the two palaces feel that Miying Pavilion is too small and too shabby... not suitable for the young master to study!"
Fan Zuyu raised his head feebly: "Obviously, the young master has said that he should use the words of Mencius: work his muscles and bones, work his mind, and sharpen himself..."
"But I can't defeat the two palaces of mercy!"
This makes Fan Zuyu deeply regretful!
He didn't know what was going on at Miying Pavilion, and he didn't really want to know.
But it is the place where the ancestors have a feast after all!
Besides... the young master is so young, it's a great opportunity to cultivate his frugal habits and bring him on par with the ancient sage kings!
However, the two palaces were so benevolent that they actually changed the venue of the feast to Jiying Palace!
Jiying Hall is the place where the royal family entertains senior officials and holds the annual banquet.
The conditions are naturally very good!
All kinds of rare things and all kinds of extravagant uses must be countless!
The young master studied and grew up in such an environment. What if he becomes accustomed to extravagant enjoyment and becomes a spendthrift king in the future who does not cherish the people's power?
This is where Fan Zuyu is worried!
After hearing this, Sima Guang closed his eyes and said, "Did the Yushitai say this?"
Fan Zuyu shook his head: "I don't know..."
"Does the person in charge of the book have a seal of approval?" Sima Guang asked again, "Is there a dismissal of the matter?"
Fan Zuyu shook his head.
Sima Guang made his assessment: "They are all just villains!"
The imperial court set up Zhongshusheren and gave them to Shizhong, so that they could adhere to the righteousness at critical moments.
But these people now have no Jiayou style. They only know the two palaces of Afu.
shameful!
"Tomorrow, if the Yushitai cannot talk about this matter..." Sima Guang said, "I will write a letter to say this!"
"When the Holy Lord is young, it is the time to study and study!"
"How can we just change the place where we hold the sutra banquet at will just because the Miying Pavilion is ruined?"
"The ancestors used Miying Pavilion as the place for their feasts, in order to let their descendants know the hardships of the world, save people's resources and cherish people's wealth!"
Fan Zuyu nodded: "I am willing to submit a letter from Sima Gong!"
Sima Guang shook his head and said, "You don't have to!"
If the villains in the court can't do anything to him, they will attack Fan Zuyu.
Fan Zuyu wanted to insist, but was eventually persuaded by Sima Guang.
Well, more updates will be added slowly!
Note: The ancients’ three views were different from ours.
Sima Guang and Fan Zuyu are not purely bad, but they do think so, and they are not the only ones, there are a large group of scholar-bureaucrats who have such ideological stamps.
