Originally, Zhao Xi wanted to throw all the memorials to impeach Sima Guang to the Political Affairs Hall. In the end, he didn't act childishly and kept them all.
It seemed that he was defending Sima Guang and ignored the impeachment of Sima Guang by his ministers.
This is good and seems quite generous. Even if he is new to the throne and is criticized by Sima Guang for the first time, he will not care about him.
Originally, the role of admonishment was to point out the emperor's gains and losses. If I care about others just because of a few words of criticism, I will look very lackadaisical.
Is it really maintenance?
It was another morning court, and Fu Bi had just finished singing his praises...
"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."
Zhao Xi knew this person, and had some impressions of him in his early years. He remembered him as Cai Que because of the great traitor through the ages.
Moreover, Han Jiang specifically mentioned this person to Zhao Xi, saying that he was quite talented.
Now the mission is to supervise the censor...
"I participated in the remonstrance of Sima. The remonstrance is responsible for checking the emperor's gains and losses. However, Sima Jun actually used the power of remonstrance to ignore the interests of the country, flatter the public, and use saints as an excuse to make unreasonable opinions on things that your majesty has not done. This is
It's a dereliction of duty..."
This, coupled with Zhao Xi's impression of him when he was young, Zhao Xi understood that this Cai was indeed a person who was good at seizing opportunities and was very good at figuring out people's hearts.
It's a pity that he thought of Zhao Xi too narrowly.
Zhao Xi wanted to embarrass Sima Guang, but he did not think that Sima Guang was incompetent. Instead, he felt that Sima Guang was very suitable for the position of admonishment.
What Zhao Xi wants to do is not to let Sima Guang vacate his place, but just to make him a little troublesome and not make trouble in dealing with Dali and Annan, so that he can complete his plan.
"Secondly, Sima Junshi didn't know how to get money, didn't understand the sufferings of the people, and blindly blocked the imperial government from intervening in the danger of the mining city, which led to an increase in the price of food in the market and a sign of a surge in new currency."
"Thirdly, whether the mining city is a city of merchants or a city of the dynasty, it cannot change the nature of the mining city as a city of the people of the dynasty. Sima Junshi said that abandoning the mining city and ignoring it is abandoning the country and ignoring it, and even more so
The theory of disregarding the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."
"I believe that the imperial court should demote Sima Junshi and correct the duties and powers of the ministers in the court to protect the safety of the mining city and save the lives of one hundred thousand people..."
This Cai Que... Zhao Xi does not judge his ministers with a villain's heart. He does not believe that Cai Que's temperament is a minister who considers the country wholeheartedly.
As for the elements in the mining city, it seems that they have never heard of the Cai family. Even if there were, it would certainly not be enough for Cai Que to charge.
Zhao Xi did not publish the memorial to impeach Sima Guang. Under such circumstances, Cai Que still took the lead and couldn't wait. This is a bit interesting.
Lu Gongbi seems to be out of the queue... This won't work.
Everyone knows that Lu Gongzhu is an old minister of Qiandi and a close confidant of Zhao Xi. If Lu Gongzhu came out to impeach Sima Guang at this time, it would be contradictory to Zhao Xi's refusal to issue the impeachment memorial.
Zhao Xi coughed lightly...
"The official family..."
Wang Zhongzheng approached, as if he wanted to inquire about Zhao Xi's body.
Zhao Xi waved his hand, but looked at Lu Gongbi, and shook his head slightly.
Sima Guang is already like this, so there is no need to add insult to injury. Besides, Zhao Xi really has no intention of letting Sima Guang vacate his place. It is indeed a good thing for him to have such a minister who dares to say anything to cause trouble for him.
This time, Zhao Xi will not listen, because this time the accident happened in Dali...
"Your Majesty, I have something to report... Your words caused Sima Jun to cause national disaster..."
This civil servant is really ruthless! But it seems that these words are not necessarily meant to kill Sima Guang, but rather to pull him back.
"The Gao family rebelled, and Dali was a vassal state of the country. It was a matter of great justice for the country to intervene and mediate the Gao family's rebellion! To ignore the Gao family's rebellion was to agree with the rebellion."
"When the Gao family besieged the mining city, the imperial court only needed to send a new army to Dali and cooperate with the Duan family to annihilate the Gao family's rebels."
"Due to the improper behavior of Sima Junshi and the officials in the political affairs hall, the country lost the most suitable opportunity to send troops, which led to the shutdown of the mining city, which caused the country's new currency to soar, and also gave Annan an opportunity to take advantage of it, causing
Food prices are rising, and Guangnan West Road may be harmed again!"
Every sentence makes sense. Zhao Xi knows clearly that this is a move to shift the universe.
Not only did it drag the entire political hall into the whirlpool, Cai Que's initial attack on Sima Guang also turned into a debate about whether to send troops and filial piety.
Although it cannot change Sima Guang's responsibility, at least it can prevent Zao Chao from all facing Sima Guang.
Sure enough...~
"The late emperor has just passed away. It is filial piety that he does not talk about military matters."
"Filial piety or unfilial piety depends on the heart, not on etiquette!"
"Rituals are expressions of the heart. The absence of filial piety rituals is a sign of lack of filial piety."
"In times of crisis, both civil and military forces can seize love for the country, so why send troops to frighten small border countries?"
"The mining city was besieged because the Gao family was not invading the border of the Kingdom of China. Annan sent troops, and there was no move to attack Annan of the Kingdom of China."
"How can we ignore the hundreds of thousands of people in this country?"
"The mining city is an enclave of the country and the country. It is the territory of the country. How is besieging the mining city different from attacking the country?"
…
This is the court meeting. Although Zhao Xi has experienced it a long time ago, when he actually sat on the throne and had to make decisions based on the courtiers, he truly understood the difficulty of his father and understood the difficulties of an emperor.
Zhao Xi has been on the throne for more than a year, and it is not that there has been no court discussion. Most of them are trivial matters that are not serious disputes. Basically, they just listen to the opinions of the courtiers after they have been decided in a meeting.
Even if there is impeachment and participation, there is not much difference in the punishment.
Now this situation...
Zhao Xi knew very well that those who clamored for troops to be sent out had interests in the mining city, while those who strongly opposed sending troops out had nothing to do with them in the mining city.
As for whether Sima Guang was wrong, everyone has long forgotten.
"Bring the tea set..."
Zhao Xi waved Wang Zhongzheng over and said this.
Wang Zhongzheng was very confused... It was an early morning court, what were the officials doing?
The tea set was brought, and Zhao Xi slowly started making tea...
It was so noisy that no one could hear anyone's voice in Zichen Palace. They were all saying that the procession of one or two people at the beginning had turned into groups of people.
Now it is impossible to tell where the queue of ministers and workers is, they are all piled up in the center of the hall.
What was supposed to be a statement of reasons to His Majesty and the ministers has now turned into mutual quarrels.
Zhao Xi didn't know whether this group of people did it on purpose, or because his father had developed a bad habit that time, or because Sima Guang choked himself, which made them a little unscrupulous.
Such a chaotic court meeting...~
"Rich Prime Minister, come and have tea...~"
"Prime Minister Han, Prime Minister Wen, come to have tea...~"
Zhao Xi made tea and asked the eunuch to bring it to the princes in front of His Majesty.
What is Your Majesty doing? Contempt? Contempt? Or treat the arguments of his ministers and servants as a joke?
Fu Bi and others were stunned and took the tea in a daze...
"It would be unbecoming for me to participate in the performance of His Majesty's Majesty in court..."
I love you so much, Sima Junshi! You are truly a gentleman.
Sima Guang's sudden shout finally stopped all the quarrels.
"My lords, is this disrespectful?"
The gentlemen were all holding tea... As for whether it was a breach of etiquette, none of them had ever experienced this situation.
