Now that things have reached this point, will it end in an anticlimax?
This is not Zhao Xi's style.
"Zhongzheng, send someone to take action! Remember, you must capture the entire passage before you take action in Bianliang. It must be a solid case!"
It was a rare time to enjoy family happiness like this, and Zhao Xi had no idea of going back.
Zhao Xi had been hesitant about whether to take action against the Imperial City Secretary, but after the Queen Mother said this, Zhao Xi finally made up his mind.
Xia Song is in front, so there are Han Qi and others behind. If it doesn't stop now, I'm afraid they will find this very useful and will use it to bluff people from time to time.
Forget it, since you are prepared, just do it. Isn’t it just bluffing? Who wouldn’t?
It's been two more days, and Zhao Xi can still keep his composure, but the Queen Mother is really worried about her son having a falling out with the court.
"Xi'er, I'm tired for my mother. Farming was just a part of my job when I was young. Xi'er also remembers the palm-sized fields in the inner garden."
"If you are really here to do farm work, you are really not a good mother. You should go back to the palace to rest. You see, you are no longer a human being. If the servants see you, you will be troubled. Go back."
Be filial, be filial, and treat obedience as filial piety. Just go back when you return, that's almost it.
Zhao Xi's side is almost done, and Zhengshitang's side is a little better.
How decent is this? Even if you have objections to this rotation of officials, this is not the way to go. Leave the court behind and go sightseeing!
Even Ouyang Xiu, who originally had objections to the actions of Han Qi and others, also felt that the official move was inappropriate.
This is the imperial court, where political affairs are decided, not just children playing house. How can we just give up when something unpleasant happens?
Even Taiwan's remonstrance side has prepared an impeachment package.
After the new emperor came to the throne, there was no reason for Tai Jian to get hold of it, but this time he had some excuses.
"I have a memorial..."
Fortunately, the day after Zhao Xi came back, it happened to be the morning meeting.
As soon as this started, someone jumped out.
"speak!"
Zhao Xi knew that there would be people looking for trouble, so it didn't matter. Everyone who should understand understood it, and those who didn't understand had to be given the right to speak.
"I report to you that your Majesty ignored the government affairs and indulged in playing games. He ignored the rotation of court officials and went out to play in the city. It was a mistake..."
What are you talking about? Zhao Xi looked at Liu Xiang, he was Yushi Zhongcheng.
At this time, the subordinates actually didn't know what the so-called nonsense was.
It makes some sense to say that he was impeached for staying outside the city for too long. But to say it was just a joke? Is your brain flooded?
Looking at you gentlemen...I understand. It is indeed a good method. Zhao Xi has to thank Han Jiang for this.
really……
"The Queen Mother likes farming and cares deeply about farming. It was already known during the late emperor's time. Nowadays, when the seedlings are sprouting and weeds are growing, how can officials accompany the Queen Mother to serve on the farm?"
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Liu Yushi out of thin air and trying to catch the wind..."
"How big is the imperial palace? How many people are there to serve in the imperial field? As a king, what are the responsibilities of an official? How do you decide on all the affairs of the court after five days out of the city?"
"The country is based on agriculture, so farming is not important?"
"There are many affairs of state, how can they be the same as agricultural affairs?"
…
Well, this is a court meeting. As long as there is a topic, no one can grasp the final direction.
The key is that as long as you go astray at the beginning, it will be difficult for anyone to get back on the right track.
The king and his father-in-law had no choice but to wait for the dispersion of the dynasty.
"Keep the right ones in the political hall, and let the rest leave the court."
No one thought it was inappropriate, it was always like this.
Regardless of whether they were supporting the official or impeaching the official, they all returned to their original state after hearing that the court was dismissed. They were not the same people who were arguing with each other just now.
This court really trains one's face.
"My dear Sirs, due to the large number of princes, the inner garden has occupied the land that originally belonged to the Queen Mother to tend the crops."
"It is rare for the Queen Mother to leave the city this time, so she stayed for a few more days. Fortunately, the court has nothing to do recently, and it did not delay any major events."
When they arrived at Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Xi was polite as soon as he opened his mouth.
I borrowed the name of the Queen Mother to show my filial piety and save everyone from having to worry about being stranded outside the city for five days.
I still learned this in the early morning. Filial piety is greater than heaven.
"Officials and the imperial court are not without major and urgent matters. Now the rotation of officials in the capital has been delayed for recent months, and the letter is awaiting a decision as soon as possible."
This is considered a reproach. After Zhao Xi had been polite, Han Qi, as the prime minister, spoke like this, which was a reproach.
"Oh, what Prime Minister Han said is the same thing. It's just that I don't know much about the people recommended by the ministers. I still need to know more about them."
"For example, whose nephew or son-in-law is whose son-in-law, whose protégé is who, who is a well-rounded family member, etc., you all need to know..."
"His Majesty……"
"Listen to me..."
Zhao Xi did not give Han Qi a chance to interrupt, which meant that he did not give him a chance to refute.
"As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. It's not unreasonable."
"A person's origin, growth environment, and the role of words and deeds are all innate advantages. However, receiving education and achieving success through one's own efforts are acquired efforts."
"The reason why I want to know the purpose of this rotation of officials is not to say that everyone is engaging in malpractice for personal gain, but to choose the good ones and use them..."
I'll shut down your explanation as soon as possible. Explanation, is the explanation useful? Everyone knows it well, and it's not to the point of quarreling, and Zhao Xi doesn't want to be vague like this.
Click a little, mention it, whether intentional or not, just accept it.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has laws and regulations, and all promoted officials must be recommended to take responsibility!"
Han Qi is not a person who knows how to reconcile. It is really hard to get over the incident that he initiated this time and was played like this by the officials.
Therefore, even though the officials were trying to give everyone a setback, he still couldn't help but say a few words.
"Oh, what kind of responsibility does Xianggong Han mean?"
"The responsibility of recommendation!"
"What kind of responsibility is it? Beheading or confiscation of homes? It's nothing more than demotion. It's said to be demotion, but there were times when the demotion was not accompanied by a post and a post abroad? Is this considered a responsibility?"
Zhao Xi is also angry. You guys are forcing me to hide for a few days now? Do I have to hold my nose and admit it?
Of course, there is more of a pretense. Because, what is going to happen next, only the result of Han Qi's talk can completely make him feel at ease for a while.
"The official family and Mr. Han are also worried about the court. The delay has been too long, which has caused panic among the relevant officials and workers, but there is something wrong with the stability of the court..."
"The official family, what Prime Minister Wen said is true. Han Xianggong is concerned about the country and the government, and the official family is for the country and the government. It is a mirror image of the unity of the monarch and his ministers. This is an auspicious event for our great Song Dynasty."
…
They all know how to seize the opportunity. Also, if they keep saying this one sentence after another and insist on being demoted until they are demoted in the future, they are the ones most likely to suffer.
He is not stupid and knows when to stop.
Naturally, this meeting broke up like this, and it should have been a sour one. Even if it looked like nothing was wrong, it was definitely a sour one.
To say who is happiest about this situation, it should be Wang Anshi. After all, he is not sure about Han Qi's attitude towards his ideas.
