Chapter 212 Zhao Xu: Is there something wrong with 'Zi Shuo'? Impossible
!Absolutely impossible!
The two palaces took the bullet.
One copy per person, read it first.
Zhao Xu pretended that nothing happened and continued to copy the copybooks.
A quarter of an hour later, both palaces put down the ammunition in their respective hands.
Then, they looked at each other and at Zhao Xu.
When they found that Zhao Xu was concentrating on copying the copybook, they all laughed happily.
"In the past, Dong Zhongshu was studying and did not visit the garden for three years! The official family also had the style of Dong Zhongshu's studying!"
This is what the Empress Dowager admires most about her grandson.
Concentration is very good!
How prudent it is to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai!
He smiled and nodded to the Queen Mother, and then asked the Queen Mother: "What do you think of what the censors said?"
The Empress Dowager held the memorial of Liu Zhi in her hand, thought about it, and said, "What Zuo Sijian said is very reasonable!"
He nodded to the Queen Mother.
Huang Lu, whom Liu Zhi impeached, deeply impressed both palaces!
really!
Huang Lu has never impeached a minister in the past three months.
At most, you can say something symbolically or follow the trend and impeach.
He has never done anything to impeach or supervise the prime minister!
It is indeed inappropriate for him to stay at Yushitai any longer!
The Yushitai must supervise the Prime Minister!
How can I be nice to you and me, the Prime Minister of Dutang?
However, both palaces lacked experience in how to get a censor Zhongcheng to take the initiative to surrender and resign.
So this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
In addition, Liu Zhi and Wang met each other and were both talking about the official (sixth brother) reading Wang Anshi's "Zi Shuo" in Funing Palace.
Especially Wang Qiang, who killed almost all the officials in one go!
Except for Lu Xizhe and Su Zhe, everyone else was scolded by him.
How should I tell the official (sixth brother)?
Although in the past few days, the two palaces have been slowly telling the officials (sixth brother) the jokes about "Zi Shuo" that are circulating among the scholar-bureaucrats.
However, the attitude of the official (sixth brother) is always smiling.
The most you can say is: "I got it!"
No one knows what he really thinks.
The two palaces were unwilling to provoke him.
After all, Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo both said above that this matter should be done slowly and not urgently.
If you are in a hurry, it may be counterproductive!
After thinking for a long time, Empress Dowager Xiang finally decided to give it a try. She took Liu Zhi's bullet and said to Zhao Xu, "Brother Six, here is a censor's bullet. Let's take a look!"
"Oh!" Zhao Xu smiled and took the bullet handed to the Queen Mother.
Then, I read it carefully.
Liu Zhi's literary talents are of course nothing to mention, even when he curses, he is very polite.
After all, this was the leader of the Shuo Party after Sima Guang died!
During the great split in the old party during the Yuanyou era, he led the Shuo party to the last laugh!
Both the Luo Party and the Shu Party were slapped with numerous labels by him and his followers, and they were all expelled from Bianjing in despair.
And in the end, Liu Zhi rose through the ranks and became prime minister!
However, Zhao Xu was in charge and gave him a set of hemp peeling packages.
Finally, the prime minister and leader of the Shuo Party in the Yuanyou era was demoted to death in Xinzhou (Xinxing, Guangdong).
It can be regarded as revenge for Cai Que!
And Zhao Xu's feelings towards Liu Zhi have not changed in three lifetimes - very bad!
Because he is not like Lu Dafang, who can do things and knows how to get things done.
It's not like Fan Chunren, who simply took the blame for others, and was even forced to make many choices that were not in line with his true intentions.
From the beginning to the end, this Liu Zhi was trying his best to gain fame and reputation.
When others say east, he wants to go west.
You think the green seedling method is okay, but he can jump three feet high.
You said you wanted to reinstate the immunity from military service law. Liu Zhi immediately came to your door angrily and asked you if you still had a conscience!
But you want to say that he is a bad person.
Not very similar!
As an official, Liu Zhi was fairly honest, and his personal ethics were not as high as those of Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Zhang Dun and others.
But it is true that he did not do much corruption. At most, he used his power to obtain many lucrative jobs for his relatives and friends.
But this was a normal thing in the Song Dynasty.
Except for Zhang Dun, who among the prime ministers in the past dynasties has not sought welfare for his relatives and friends?
Even Wang Anshi paved the way for his son Wang Yu's career for a long time!
There is a situation like Zhang Dun, where several of his sons, even if they passed the Jinshi examination, would not choose a good job for them.
Instead, they tried their best to suppress them and refused to promote them!
Zhao Xu put down the bullet in his hand, smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, this minister's literary talent is quite good!"
Empress Dowager Xiang smiled and said: "This Liu Zhi was a Jinshi during the Jiayou period!"
Zhao Xu said oh and said nothing more.
Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Besides your literary talent, Sixth Brother, do you have any other ideas?"
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure!"
"Not sure?"
Zhao Xu nodded, pointed to the text on the bullet, and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, I feel that what this minister said seems to make sense!"
"Since the ancestors have set a rule, let the Yushitai supervise the ministers..."
"It must be a far-reaching strategy for the country!"
"Now that the Yushitai is not supervising, impeaching the prime minister is equivalent to cutting off one's arm."
"When my father was still alive, he always taught his children: big and small are in harmony, and differences are in conflict. Governments that have been carefully considered by our ancestors must never be abandoned, otherwise the country will be in danger of overthrowing!"
This is already the nth time that Zhao Xu has mentioned, ‘Father taught his children: small and large are controlled by each other, and different opinions interfere with each other, this is the ancestral system!’.
This is Zhao Xu's expression of his feelings - I admire the methods of my ancestors.
At the same time, the concept of two palaces is being implanted in a subtle way.
In order to prevent it, the two palaces just like his previous life, listened to some people's words, and ended up turning the court into someone's own words.
The two palaces listened and nodded.
Especially the Queen Mother, who touched Zhao Xu's head and said, "What Sixth Brother said is true!"
"What do you think, empress?"
The Empress Dowager said: "What the officials say, I think is very good!"
"The Yushitai should supervise the ministers and should not let others cover the sky with one hand!"
As a result, a unified opinion was reached.
At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "Mother, I am a little confused about what this minister said behind the chapter..."
"Why would he say that it was wrong for my son to read "Zi Shuo" in the palace? He also said that the Yushitai could not correct the situation, which was also a serious crime!"
"Is there something wrong with "Zi Shuo"?" Zhao Xu pretended to think, and then shook his head: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"My father left quite a few copies of "Zi Shuo" in the Funing Hall! Moreover, many of the books have my father's personal approval and annotations on them!"
"How can Father Shengde read a questionable book and still comment on it and praise it?!"
The two palaces listened and looked at each other.
This is where it gets tricky!
Emperor Daxing regarded Wang Anshi as both a confidant and a teacher during the Xining era.
Therefore, there is a sentence in Wang Anshi's second speech to pay homage to the prime minister: It is a special year for the master to see him!
This is almost openly said, and it is regarded as a master!
During the Yuanfeng era, although Wang Anshi was no longer in Bianjing and lived in seclusion in Jiangning, anyone who criticized/slandered Wang Anshi in front of the king could still easily arouse the wrath of thunder!
Therefore, it is really difficult to explain this matter clearly to the official family (sixth brother)!
Both palaces have already asked the ministers.
Wen Yanbo, Zhang Fangping, and Sun Gu all wrote letters to discuss this matter.
The elders and ministers unanimously agree that the Lord is young and although his nature is pure and holy, he cannot talk about Wang Anshi's affairs rashly!
the reason is simple.
He is so smart!
Now, if you rush to criticize Wang Anshi, what if the official thinks about it by himself and comes up with something?
Once unfortunate, let him feel that Wang Anshi is right.
Then there will be disaster in the future!
Therefore, you should not act rashly. It is best to wait until the official family is bigger and then try to slowly explain the pros and cons to him.
To put it simply, it means dragging it until you grow up in an official family, and then you have enough intelligence to be able to truly distinguish between good and evil, pros and cons.
Tell him about Wang Anshi again.
In this process, we must first teach the officials to follow the right path and read the books of gentlemen and saints.
Cultivation of his sentiment and his love for the way of a gentleman.
In fact, it is to first let the official family become the shape that everyone wants, and then slowly explain to him what Wang Anshi did and why Wang Anshi was wrong.
After reading the discussion of the elders, the two palaces agreed deeply!
Therefore, these days, I just quietly go around in circles and talk to the official (sixth brother) about some mistakes.
I don't dare to touch that indescribable taboo named Wang Anshi!
Now, the two palaces are forced to face this taboo.
Both palaces feel a headache!
After thinking about it for a while, the Empress Dowager forced a smile and said: "Brother Six, this matter is a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain it clearly in just a few words..."
"It's better to wait until Grand Master Wen enters the palace, and Sixth Brother will go and ask for advice in person..."
"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded sensibly.
But both palaces clearly saw some curiosity, some questions, and some scrutinizing looks in his eyes.
Therefore, Zhao Xu no longer dared to read the other two bullets, especially the bullet from Wang Zhan.
…
When Zhao Xu returned to Funing Hall, the two palaces summoned Lu Gongzhu in the banquet hall of Yanhe Hall, and also summoned ministers like Li Chang who were late emperors' residence.
In the Yanhe Hall, we discussed for a long time.
Finally, I came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Wang Clan's bullet was ignored and treated coldly. I hope Wang Clan will be sensible and understand.
At the same time, we went to the capital hall to discuss Liu Zhi's story.
I hope that this can distract the attention of the government and the public, and prevent officials from reading the "Zi Shuo" on their own, which will have too much impact both inside and outside the government.
Not only to avoid angering the gentlemen, but also to avoid giving hope to the new party ministers!
As for the rest, we can only ask the officials to find a way to let them focus on studying.
Therefore, Lu Gongzhu suggested that Cheng Yi be recruited into the capital immediately!
Infect the officials with this great scholar's profound knowledge and noble moral character.
Let the officials stay away from Wang Anshi for the time being!
…
Inside the Bachelor's College.
Deng Runfu's eyes were already bloodshot.
But his expression was extremely excited.
The tasks entrusted to him by the officials have finally yielded some modest results!
He carefully prepared the results of these days, working day and night, sleeping only two or three hours a day, with the entire academy, and finally carefully installed the results.
Then, he took these treasures and handed a post under the Neidong Gate requesting your Majesty to see him!
Immediately, he was allowed to see His Majesty in Chongzheng Hall.
By the time Deng Runfu walked out of the palace again, his entire mental state had become completely different!
