Chapter 185 Zhao Xu: He actually offended his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was not happy.
His grandson doesn’t like him anymore either.
Yisi (the seventh day of the lunar month) in the sixth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng
There is a report from the Secretary: It is discussed that the official will be promoted to official Li Ji's death.
The two palaces were ordered to have ministers provide care and support, and according to the story, according to Li Ji's legacy, they were ordered to be kind to his sons and nephews.
Huainan West Road transfer envoy reported: Xu Ji, a filial son from Chuzhou, lost his father when he was three years old. He has served his mother since he was a child. Since his mother's death in Xining, he has lived in a hut and tomb for more than ten years.
Every year, the nectar falls on the tomb for more than a month, and there is a tree in it.
There is no doubt that this is auspiciousness created by local officials.
That Xu Ji was lucky enough to be chosen and used it to make the two palaces happy.
The two palaces were indeed coaxed!
Immediately an edict was issued, ordering a minister on Huainan West Road to welcome his filial son Xu Ji to the state to study as a professor, and gave Xu Ji a hundred pieces of silk, a hundred pieces of rice, and a hundred stones.
At the same time, the well-behaved Huainan West Road transfer envoy also came into the sight of the two palaces.
Zhao Xu didn't care much.
So I didn't bother to remember this guy's name.
At this time, the person from the Tongjian Department brought a letter that had just been sent to the Tongjian Department, hurried in, and presented it to the two palaces.
The two palaces took it and opened it, and both of them were surprised.
Zhao Xu glanced at the side and was shocked!
Because this letter was written by Sima Guang.
There is only one content: please county!
Sima Guang invites the county!
Zhao Xu knew that from now on, a new, unprecedented historical fork in the road had begun.
At this time in his previous life, Sima Guang was at his most majestic.
The elders of the old party closely united around him, the red flag of the old party, and launched a fierce attack on the new party.
It just so happened that the New Party itself had conflicts.
In particular, after Wang Gui's death, Cai Que refused to go to Henan to take up the post of Shanling envoy, and was caught and chased by the old party elders.
Later, the internal strife between Cai Que and Han Zhen also provided the old party with countless ammunition.
In the end, although Zhang Dun tried to turn the tide, he caught Sima Guang's weakness in the capital hall because he was ignorant of government affairs and did not understand the people's sentiments. He dug a big hole for him and watched him jump into it.
However, it's too late!
The old party has taken full advantage!
Therefore, although Sima Guang exposed his shortcomings in front of the ruling and opposition parties.
But the gentlemen of the old party can use the method of "I won't listen, I won't listen" to backhand Zhang Dun into the ranks of traitors and villains.
A group of gentlemen launched a fierce siege against Zhang Dun.
The tactics used by these ministers who claim to be upright and gentlemen are extremely despicable!
For example, the famous radical Wang Zhan wrote a letter saying: Although Sima Guang's views on things may be wrong, he is also a gentleman! And although Zhang Dun's words have some truth, isn't he a villain?
This guy even said: Although I haven’t read Zhang Dun’s suggestions on military methods, I heard that many people think they make sense, so you might as well follow his suggestions, but Zhang Dun is a villain who always uses deception to deceive others.
To become famous, he must have done this deliberately to attack Sima Xianggong. He asked the Empress Dowager to demote him to alert the world!
Su Zhe also wrote a letter saying: The imperial court has different appointment, removal and promotion systems for important ministers and minor officials. For minor officials, as long as they make no mistakes, they will continue to be employed. If they make mistakes, they will be demoted. For senior ministers, even if they have not made mistakes, as long as they have their thoughts
If you are not honest and have wrong intentions, you should be demoted immediately!
Zhang Dun was so angry with these guys!
So, in front of the Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu in the palace, he roared out his last words in the court during the Yuanyou era: I will be able to take the sword with him someday!
It was this roar that made the young Zhao Xu remember this minister who was besieged by countless people in front of the king, but still refused to bow his head and still argued hard.
After that, Zhang Dun suffered extremely cruel and terrible political persecution!
Just don't let him make the usual speech.
The vicious and harsh words used in the memorial to criticize Zhang Dun are only slightly better than the words written by Su Shi to criticize and criticize Lu Huiqing!
People from the old party also transferred him here and there, fearing that they would not be able to torture him to death!
Therefore, Zhang Dun was later recalled to the court by Zhao Xu and worshiped as prime minister.
He began his revenge!
Zhao Xu was recalling what happened in his previous life.
Empress Dowager Xiang's voice came to her ears: "Sixth Brother... Sima Gong has invited the county..."
Zhao Xu said oh.
Seeing Zhao Xu's reaction, the two palaces felt relieved.
They were afraid that Zhao Xu would not agree!
Now it seems that although this child respects Sima Guang, he can clearly distinguish between closeness and distance.
However, the Empress Dowager still asked: "Are the officials willing to do so?"
Zhao Xu raised his head and pretended to be reluctant to leave - Sima Guang is still useful. Now it seems that he is the best MT who can distract the two palaces from the old party, especially the old party's radical faction.
As modern people say - don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs!
If Sima Guang is crazy about hatred, the two palaces will hate each other and become disgusted with other people with similar personalities.
Just like Zhao Xu's previous life, the Empress Dowager trusted Sima Guang, so after Sima Guang's death, she loved the whole family and favored those who had similar temperaments and positions to Sima Guang.
"Replying to my mother-in-law, although this minister is the minister who was left to me by my father..."
"But he provoked his mother-in-law, and she was not happy!"
"My grandson doesn't like him anymore!"
After hearing this, the two palaces were very happy.
The Empress Dowager hugged Zhao Xu's small body and said, "It is really the blessing of Bodhisattva that God has given me such a filial grandson!"
Therefore, the two palaces immediately approved Sima Guang's request to invite the county.
He also issued an edict to Chenzhou to pick up Sima Guang's officials and make preparations.
At the same time, Sima Guang was still given enough dignity.
Not only did he order to archive all the censor's bullets, but he also allowed Sima Guang to enter the palace to give his speech.
In addition, Sima Guang's bachelor's degree was upgraded from Bachelor of Zizhengdian to Grand Bachelor of Zizhengdian.
He also issued an edict to Sima Guang, allowing him to recommend several people to the court when his Majesty delivers his speech.
It seems full of grace and dignity.
In fact, there is hidden malice.
Why?
When the ministers next to him invited the county, they would always tell false stories and try to persuade him to stay three times.
But Sima Guang's request to the county was immediately approved!
Against this background, looking at the favors given to Sima Guang is full of irony.
A thoughtful person will know after just a moment's thought: How afraid are the two palaces of Sima Guang's continued stay in the capital?
Moreover, this approach is very similar to the practice of some wealthy households who cannot directly evict bad guests when they arrive at home, so they can only give them a big red envelope and send them away quickly!
…
The news of Sima Guang's invitation to the county soon reached the Yushitai.
The entire Yushitai immediately burst into cheers!
An old and important minister, with the red flag of the old party, was defeated today by the impeachment of the censors.
Everyone’s KPI for this year, so all completed!
The most important thing is - this time they showed their faces in front of the two palaces!
In the future, even if you are traveling to another place, you should have a good job!
In this festive atmosphere, An Dun was alone in his mansion, racking his brains to think about how he should approach the young master.
Note: Historically, Zhang Dun dug a sinkhole for Sima Guang and asked Sima Guang to jump down by himself. This exposed Sima Guang's weakness of completely ignorant of government affairs and local conditions to the whole world.
According to our modern views, Sima Guang should have died in society.
But the fact is that the old party took action collectively and branded Zhang Dun as a traitor! A villain! He had ulterior motives! He dared to frame the upright Sima Xianggong!
