Zhao Xu sat on the throne, listening to Sima Guang's talk.
Some things from his previous life appeared in his mind.
Cheng Hao probably won't be able to come to Bianjing.
Because he was going to die soon, his younger brother Cheng Yi would be the one to replace Cheng Hao.
What impressed Zhao Xu most deeply about Cheng Yi was that Zhao Xu was counting ants alone in the garden.
Cheng Yi found out about this, and Cheng Yi came to him and said: "The officials are benevolent and saintly, and insects and ants are not harmed. If it can be used in state affairs, the world will be very lucky!"
Zhao Xu looked at Cheng Yi at that time:????
I can count ants by myself, how do you know?
It was also at that time that Zhao Xu realized that his every move was being monitored.
As a result, he became more and more taciturn.
As for Fan Chunren and Su Shi?
Zhao Xu remembered that after he took office, he and Zhang Dun threw them all to Lingnan to eat lychees.
Looking back now, Fan Chunren and Su Shi are actually quite interesting.
Especially Su Shi. What impressed Zhao Xu most about him was that Su Shi often quietly pulled Zhao Xu's sleeve and told him in private how the emperor of the Tang Dynasty killed ministers.
What he said was so vivid that Zhao Xu was surprised and confused: Are you here to test me?
Only when Zhao Xu wakes up in modern times and reads historical materials will we know.
Su Shi was not testing him.
This is him!
This is what Su Shi and Su Zizhan did!
And Fan Chunren?
To be honest, among Yuanyou's ministers, apart from Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren is the most like the New Party.
Moreover, Zhao Xu recorded in modern research and information that Fan Chunren had been trying to reconcile the differences between the new party and the old party in the last years of Yuanyou, and planned to reconcile.
However, by that time it was already too late to come back to the mud.
The hands of the old party ministers are already stained with the blood of the new party ministers!
Cai Que was demoted to death, Deng Wan was demoted to death, and Zhang Dun almost died.
Countless New Party ministers were hit and tortured during the Yuanyou era.
From the perspective of the new party, the old party has already fallen out of favor, so there is no need to be polite to them or show dignity to them.
At that time, Zhao Xu was not mature enough or stable enough.
He was dazzled by hatred and frightened by what he saw and heard during Yuanyou's time.
Therefore, we launched a massacre against all old parties.
Except for a few ministers who had a good impression of Zhao Xu, almost all of the remaining old ministers of Yuanyou were given the treatment of being stripped off and sent to Lingnan.
For a time, the thorny road in Lingnan was very lively.
However, looking back in hindsight, although it was motivated, it further intensified the party struggle.
But in the short term, it has unified the will of both the top and bottom.
This allows both the government and the public to avoid unnecessary disputes and arguments.
As a result, we were able to go all out for reform and deployment of troops in the northwest, and achieved good results.
To be honest, if Zhao Xu had lived a few more years, he would have destroyed Xixia.
Maybe there won't be those things that happened later.
This is how the world is.
Heroes are judged by their success or failure, and only the victors deserve to be praised.
The loser is naturally the clown.
…
Zhao Xu was thinking wildly here, and the two palaces in the curtain had already completed the communication.
The Empress Dowager said: "Both I and the Empress Dowager think that the ministers recommended by the Prime Minister are very good, so let's appoint them according to the ministers recommended by the Prime Minister!"
"Old minister, I am sincere and sincere, and I would like to thank you again!" Sima Guang held the fluorine in his hand and worshiped.
Recommending ministers is not only a state matter, but also a test for Sima Guang to see the attitude and trust of the two palaces towards him.
Now it seems that it should be good.
This encouraged Sima Guang and finally gave him the confidence to talk about that matter.
Standing up with the sword in hand, Sima Guang took a deep breath, then looked at the words on the Chao Hut, and finally made up his mind and said: "In addition, the old minister has another stupid thing to say, and I would like to dedicate it to the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager was in a very good mood at this time, so she said, "My lord, it's okay to just say it!"
Sima Guangzhi said: "I have heard that recently, the imperial censor, Wang Gui, the left prime minister, has repeatedly done illegal things, disturbed the country's laws, and corrupted the ancestral system. The speaker has treated Wang Gui as a piece of shit and demoted him, and even wanted to Those who kill the prime minister..."
"The old minister is frightened, and I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor..."
"Since our ancestors, we have treated ministers kindly and treated Confucian ministers kindly. Since Renmiao, the country has not punished ministers for sixty or seventy years!"
"In the past, Chen Shiru was a treasonous and immoral person who indulged his wife and killed his mother. Emperor Daxing especially wanted to pardon his death penalty by saying, 'Chen Shiru is the only son of the former ruler. If he were to kill him, no one would be able to worship him and his incense would be cut off.'"
"Chen Shiru is not the prime minister, but he is the son of the prime minister. He has committed an unforgivable crime. Emperor Daxing still cares about his kindness and wants to pardon him..."
"Not to mention the real prime minister?"
Sima Guang's words immediately caused the atmosphere inside the curtain to drop.
Peeling hemp Wang Gui, this is the obsession of the Empress Dowager!
Because she was afraid, afraid that if she could not cure Wang Gui deeply.
Once Sixth Brother grows up and thinks about this matter, he plans to investigate and find out something.
Then her posthumous reputation, the wealth of the Gao family, and the future of King Yong would be all over!
Besides, the Empress Dowager doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with stripping Wang Gui!
The officials at the Yushitai were full of reports, and everyone was saying that Wang Gui was guilty and guilty of a serious crime.
The crimes listed range from corrupting the law, abusing power for personal gain, embezzling and accepting bribes, having affairs with Liao envoys, criticizing the emperor and his father, and so on.
But these senior ministers not only did not understand her suffering, but also did not watch the official impeachment at the Yushitai.
There was Sun Gu before, and now Sima Guang came to her to say good things to Wang Gui!
This makes the Queen Mother really uncomfortable!
But Sima Guang didn't care about this.
Not to mention that he couldn't see the face of the Empress Dowager behind the curtain.
Even if he saw it, he would still say what he should say.
Therefore, he held the fluorine in his hand and said: "I am stupid and ignorant. I would like to report to the Empress Dowager: The ancestral system and the kindness to the scholar-bureaucrats are based on the scholar-bureaucrats being the pillars of the country and entrusting them with the responsibilities of the military and the country!"
"Therefore, our ancestors did not offend the prime minister and did not kill the scholar-bureaucrats!"
"This is good governance that governs the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats!"
"I also hope that the Empress Dowager will deeply understand the deep intentions of our ancestors, have a compassionate heart, and pardon Wang Gui's sins as appropriate, so as to calm the hearts of the scholars and officials at home and abroad in the world!"
This is a fact.
It is a small matter for King Gui to peel off hemp, but it is a big matter for the prime minister to commit serious crimes.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but snorted.
"I can't even cure Wang Gui's crime?"
"If you punish a mere Wang Gui, will all the scholar-bureaucrats in the world be disappointed?"
Sima Guang held the fluorine and bowed again: "I don't dare!"
"But everything the veteran said is true!"
Zhao Xu watched from the side, only regretting that he didn't have a watermelon on hand.
Sima Niu and the empress dowager above stood up.
He really looked forward to the outcome of both sides.
It's a pity that Zhao Xu's idea of watching the show and enjoying the show could not last more than a few seconds.
Behind him, came a whisper to the Queen Mother: "Sixth brother, go and persuade the empress!"
Of course Empress Dowager Xiang knew, what was the concubine worried about?
The trouble should end it.
Only Sixth Brother can keep Wang Gui's dignity!
