Chapter 913
When Zhao Shu came back from Empress Dowager Cao, she sat motionless and fell into deep thought. Even if Wang Qing walked past him, she seemed to have never seen him. It was unique for so many days.
Wang Qing sat next to Zhao Shu and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the words of the Queen Mother?"
"Well! I'm wondering what the mother means."
Wang Qing picked up a pear, peeled it, and stuffed it to Zhao Shu.
"Eat some fruit and you might have a clue and you will figure it out."
Zhao Shu took it and took a big bite. The sweet juice exploded in his mouth, and he was indeed much more awake.
"Actually, I know what the queen of mother means. She is nothing more than encouraging me to take over power and be an arbitrary emperor and a righteous emperor." Zhao Shu scratched his head, feeling embarrassed: "But I think the emperor should not be like this. But I just can't figure out how to be an emperor, father, master, and so many gentlemen. They have told me a lot, but I still can't figure it out... Are I too stupid?"
Wang Qing smiled with a pursed lips, "Your Majesty, are you stupid? What you are afraid of is being smart. You can't stop fighting in the court for a moment. If Your Majesty is unable to make up your mind, you might as well wait and leave enough time to think clearly."
Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed happily.
"Qing'er, you are so nice!"
...
"The list of inspections by the Ministry of Personnel, the saints will not be released. What do you think of Uncle Hui?" Sima Guang went straight in, but the old god on the opposite side was there.
"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the selection and inspection of all officials. It is a natural duty. If a saint thinks it is inappropriate, it can be rejected. If it feels feasible, it will be announced... Now that I am not allowed to leave the saint, I am not able to understand the saint's will, so I can only wait for the emperor's order." He looked at Sima Guang and smiled slightly, "If Brother Jun Shi knows the saint's thoughts, he might as well reveal one or two, so as not to lose his gains and confuse the court."
Sima Guang took a deep breath, "Brother Hui, it would be great if you mentioned the court bureau. At present, the most important thing about the court bureau is the two railways. This is the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty. It is a hundred times more important than the Grand Canal. It should be mobilized by the whole country to repair it as soon as possible. Any obstruction will harm the country and the people and cause endless harm!"
Mr. Lu's face was gloomy and he snorted.
"You are the real master, I don't understand. What does this assessment of officials have to do with the imperial court's road construction?"
"Isn't it okay? You have to dismiss many officials from the exam and the other party. How can you build a railway without these people? You still say it's not a constraint?"
Mr. Lu smiled contemptuously, "My true, I don't know what officials you are talking about. In my eyes, there are only some cruel officials and some greedy officials. If the court relaxes and indulges, these beasts will destroy the Song Dynasty! Not long ago, the Xuzhou procurator Yan Jidao made a lawsuit for life, with more than a dozen lives, and more than a hundred and dozens of people were slandered and sent to overseas... There are many cases of this type. The court wants to move to the powerful, but what about them? But they drove the people away and obeyed the slander. How can they afford to be the word "school"? Could it be that's how they do things?"
"Yan Jidao's case is still being investigated. Lord Lu, you can't beat a boat of people with one o'clock! The court has to do things. According to your evaluation method, the more you do, the more you make mistakes. In the end, the court is full of corpses who are in vain. Can they bear the country?"
Sima Guang was heartbroken, but Lu Gongye was unmoved. As the heavenly official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, there was no need to care about the second prince, especially the second prince who got up with his master!
"Sima Xianggong, how to evaluate all officials is not determined by me alone. The evaluation method is also a rule formed over the years. All procedures are well documented by the Ministry of Personnel... If you are absolutely wrong with me, just impeach it. But if there is no evidence, I want to force me to change the rules of the court, which is to condon and shelter and form cliques for personal gain! I don't think Sima Xianggong would not do such a thing!"
"you!"
Sima Guang's face turned pale and it was extremely difficult to see.
"Mr. Lü, the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel is a public instrument of the court. If you use public instruments for personal use in private, don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, Sima Guang shook his sleeves and turned around and left.
When Sima Guang returned to the signing room, he was still angry.
Obviously, if those old guys were on the move, Lu Gongye would never dare to do this. In his eyes, Sima Guang was still a small character who relied on the teacher and was not considered a person.
If you dare to look down on me, then let you know how great it is!
Sima Guang immediately ordered to directly freeze the funds of the Ministry of Personnel, so that they could not allocate money for the time being.
Afterwards, Sima Guang contacted the people from the Censorate to find out the omissions of this investigation and gave Lu Gong a cruel... Everyone, including Wang Ning'an's disciples, was also furious.
We have done so many things for the court over the years, but we have become sins. What is the reason? Could it be that in the end of the world, we don’t even talk about the truth?
These people were full of anger and stood up and asked questions.
Similarly, those who were suppressed also stood up and accused the Six Arts Group of the Party, attacked the differences, openly covered up the cliques, interfered with the inspection of the Ministry of Personnel, and were arrogant and domineering, without the etiquette of a minister.
In an instant, the entire court was divided into two parts.
One sect was led by Sima Guang, Wang Shao and others, the other sect was led by Lu Gong, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, Sun Gu, the Minister of Rites, and some censors of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The two sides fought back and forth, and they actually killed one difficult to distinguish.
Lu Gongyao and others firmly demanded that the inspection list be passed. In order to counter, Sima Guang not only blocked the funds, but also mobilized personnel to check the accounts of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, especially the expenses of promoting education, and was in a desperate situation.
...
"Dad, the Queen Mother has made a comment to His Majesty three times."
Since he was covered in a bun last time, Wang Rong has become much more honest and has never dared to make arbitrary claims. When encountering important things, he must ask his father first and let Wang Anshi make a decision.
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
"What else can the Empress Dowager say is nothing more than to encourage Your Majesty to retain power and balance the court, especially for the sake of the ancestors and the stability of the world, we must suppress the reform faction and not let them do anything wrong."
Wang Anshi nodded, "Yuan Ze, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Rong thought for a while, "Father, Lu Gongzhu and others have the support of the queen mother, and this time they are indeed famous. The child thought that his father would rather sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and reap the profits!"
Wang Anshi shook his head, "Yuanze, why didn't my father see what you said about profit?
"Dad, this is not obvious. If Wang Ning'an and Lu Gongzhu and others fight for you, I will live, then my chance will come!"
Wang Anshi suddenly reached out and stopped Wang Rong's words.
"Yuan Ze, the last time I was a father, I said that you are the smartest and most confused. You just want to help you become the prime minister... But have you ever thought about it? With the wisdom of King Xiliang and his strength, it is still so difficult to sit in the position of prime minister. Do you want to see him being crushed to pieces or will he be doomed?"
"Sir Father!"
Wang Rong quickly shook his head, "The child has never thought so, please tell me clearly."
Wang Anshi said: "From Yan Jidao's case and then to the Ministry of Personnel's investigation, it is obvious that someone is grasping the rhythm and wants to make the King of Xiliang lose points first, and then raise the butcher's knife. At this time, the King of Xiliang can only suffer a loss. How vicious the intention is!"
Wang Rong also reacted at this time, and he nodded repeatedly.
"After my father said this, the child figured it out. This is a serial killer move... Alas, King Xiliang has made a mistake for many years. If he doesn't go to Xuzhou, there may be a turning point. Sima Junshi can't really make a decision in the capital now, and he doesn't have enough weight!"
"Yuanze, you were wrong again!"
Wang Anshi said: "When King Xiliang went to Xuzhou, that's a trick! If he stayed in the capital, he would just protect his own people or let Lu Gongzhu do it. No matter how he made a choice, it would be inappropriate. Whether it was a coincidence or a clever plan, in short, King Xiliang would be out of here, but he would have more room for maneuver."
After listening to my father's high remarks, Wang Rong felt more and more moved. My father has not suffered in vain in the past few years. His vision has been completely relaxed, and his viewing of problems has become more accurate and sharp.
"Dad, then what do we do?" Before we knew it, Wang Rong used a tone of asking questions.
Wang Anshi thought for a while, "Being a father is also an examiner in the second year of Jiayou. Many of these officials are also working for their fathers and are very attentive... Whether it is natural and conscience, be willing to protect them for their father!"
"Dad, you want to write a letter?"
Wang Anshi shook his head, "No, your sister just became the queen, so she wrote a letter to her father, which would be a real person... Let's do this, you go to visit someone with her father."
"who?"
"Wen Yanbo!"
...
"Presponsible for visiting, please forgive me."
Wen Yanbo was very polite, "It's Jiefu's coming, please come."
After coming in, Lao Wen took out a bag of tea and soaked it for Wang Anshi himself.
"This is the Shifeng Longjing sent from Hangzhou. I heard that it was the tender buds I picked when they first appeared in the middle of the night... I have no other hobbies and like to drink tea. I originally planned to take it to Xingqing Mansion and drink it secretly in Xixia. When Jie Fu came, he would taste the tea with me. If he was alone, he wouldn't be able to drink it!"
Wang Anshi hurriedly bowed and thanked, "Mr. Wen is in love. No matter how good the tea I drink, it is no different from the leaves. Burn the piano and cook the crane and waste things!"
"No, Jie Fu is a truly noble and famous scholar. I don't have any external objects. I admire him very much!"
After a few greetings, Wang Anshi spoke, "Grandpa Wen, please be brave enough to ask for advice. What will happen between Sima Junshi and Uncle Lu Hui this time?"
Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes, paused, and asked back, "Jiefu, was it the King of Xiliang who asked you to come, or someone else?"
"The King of Xiliang has never given me any letters. I am here to ask Mr. Wen for advice. After all, many of them are my students."
