Chapter 454: Bold (Part 2)

Li Ping instinctively felt that the memorial was false. Although there was no problem with the procedure, Han Qi wrote a letter into two types. One was a public letter, which was handed over to the Jinzuyuan from the post station, handed over to the Zhongshu, or the Xifu or the Censorate, and then judged whether it was handed over to the emperor based on the severity of the matter. ¢£ There is another one, that is, secret memorial. Han Qi also had the right to secret memorial, so the disciples had to bring the memorial and then handed over to the Hemen Envoy, and the Hemen Envoy to the Emperor. But can Han Qi say such words? So he handed it directly to the Censorate.

Li Ping did nothing wrong, and Mr. Lu was in a dilemma.

If you check it, if it is true, Han Qi would be very miserable.

If you don’t investigate, it’s impossible for Han Qixingjia, but you can’t escape the threat. Now the book is in his own hands again. What should I do if the truth is leaked?

It is precisely this kind of mentality that when Yanhe Palace was discussing affairs, he said vaguely, even Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention, but it only came to Wang Anshi's ears, which led to the story of Wang An crying and complaining.

So although Lu Gongzhu did not falsely accuse Han Qi, he did make a mistake. At least such a big thing, you are the Chief Censor, why don’t you submit a report?

At this point, all the people who explained Lu Gong were speechless.

But the question is, why does Chen Weigong want to do this?

The two were imprisoned by Dali Temple. First, Chen Weigong admitted that he was instructing Sun Fu to present a book.

However, soon Chen Weigong immediately overturned the case. Sima Guang liked to become famous. Every article, whether it was a letter, or a memorial, liked to send people to Jingfang. Sun Fu wrote a deceitful letter to Sima Guang's memorial of Chen Wuzhang, with Han Qi's words on it. Then he took it to Chen Weigong, who thought it was true. He asked Sun Fu to hand it over to Li Ping, the envoy of the Hemen. As a result, Sun Fu directly pretended to be Han Qi's memorial. He also handed it to Li Ping as a disciple of Han Qi.

This is purely using Sun Fu as a scapegoat and overturning the case.

However, Chen Weigong's background is very troublesome.

He was the grandson of Chen Yilun, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and the son of Chen Jizong. Chen Jizong had three sons, Wei Wen, Wei Qing, Wei Gong, Chen Wei Gong was an old man and a young man.

It doesn't matter. The Song Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and I don't know how many powerful and noble children are. Not to mention Chen Yilun, even Chen Jizong has been dead for more than 40 years.

Only a very small number of these powerful and noble children have made a fortune, and most of them have become unknown. For example, Zhao Pu has many descendants, and many descendants are still serving as officials, but these are all low-level officials. How much influence can they have?

Just because Wang Ju cut off military weapons, he didn't know how many powerful and noble children had been laid off.

But the trouble is that Chen Weigong has another sister, that is Concubine Chen of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. It doesn’t matter. Concubine Chen is not a big deal. There are not many concubines in Song Taizu and Emperor Taizong of Song. But Song Zhenzong and Emperor Renzong of Song have many concubines. How many relatives do these concubines have?

However, the trouble is that Concubine Chen is nearly eighty years old and is still alive. People leave favors. People are in love, Concubine Chen is almost becoming a living fossil in the inner palace. When he heard something happened to his younger brother, he immediately held a crutch and found Mrs. Cao and Aunt Gao. Facing this living fossil, even the proud Gao Taotao must respect it.

So Gao Taotao found Zhao Xu again and repeatedly told him that he could investigate, but he would not be punished. Besides, Chen Weigong himself is 60 years old.

It is precisely this situation that the Shen family was overturned, and there were many people watching. Even Sun Wu and the officials of Dali Temple dared not torture. Anyway, it was a dead end. What if it was just a cannon? Once he died, his family could still get the protection of the Shen family. So Sun Wu gritted his teeth tightly.

This situation cannot be judged.

Wang Anshi would not agree to the closing of the case. If the case is closed like this, it is undoubtedly Sun Fu was instructed by someone to slander Sima Guang and Han Qi. Then would he be instructed by whom?

Time also makes people doubt it happened just after Sun Jue wrote a book. Think about how many people could know about Sun Jue's book? Or it was a coincidence, it was a coincidence.

So Dali Temple had to continue to interrogate hard.

Moreover, Chen Weigong was imprisoned, and another way was immediately unobstructed, that is, the Imperial City Division. Without Chen Weigong's manipulation, the spies in the inner city were able to be dispatched. Under the investigation of the Imperial City Division, something was found. Sima Guang deliberately passed the article he wrote to the market, including three letters he wrote to Wang Anshi. This could still be made public, but the spies in the Imperial City Division found another article, which not only attacked Wang Anshi, but also had a vicious language, and the signature was Sima Guang.

Wang Anshi was furious. Zhao Xu could not think of the role Sima Guang might play at this time, so he said: "This is definitely not what Guang does."

Even if Sima Guang dislikes Wang Anshi, he would not be so despicable.

Wang Anshi said: "Even if it was not done by Sima Guang, it was because Guang liked to spread private books to buy fame, so he imitated the common people, which made the new laws disparate and the different arguments were widely advocated by Guang."

Then let the Imperial City Secret spies arrest the letter-passing person Fu Zhuo, and to solve the problem of whom you get. Where did you get this article? The Imperial City Secret arrests the people in a large scale, and from then on.

Another person could not sit still in this arrest, and the Sifang Pavilion was returned to Zhang Ze. He heard a news that Chen Weigong had asked Sun Wukong to threaten that the prince would be born soon.

This is another problem, that is, the ancients' early marriage and early childbirth. When you open the history books, you can see that many ministers' first wives died early. Most of them died of illness, but died of difficult labor. Of course, there is no record of this.

There are many people who died early in their first son, including Zhao Xu's previous sons who died one after another. But the later they get married, the more safe the children are, such as Fan Zhongyan. This situation is most obvious in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the reason is very simple. At this time, people got married early, but the Song Dynasty regarded thinness as beauty. The thinner they became, the more beautiful it was. One married early but did not develop and mature, while the other regarded thinness as beauty. Everyone lost weight together and was malnourished. Moreover, the royal family was mostly the daughter of the noble family, who did not work and had poor resistance. Such women were mostly teenage girls, and how healthy the children they gave birth to would be.

Therefore, Song Zhezong's biological mother, Zhu, who was born in a civilian family, lived one by one.

Anyway, the children born to Zhao Xu died one after another, including Queen Xiang's son.

If this is not done well, he will become the second Emperor Renzong of Song. But Zhao Xu is still young, and the concubines in the harem continue to make sons for him.

However, Chen Weigong found a prince's birth, which will not last long, that is, the son born to Zhao Xu will not live long!

There were many people in the Song Dynasty who were talking nonsense. For example, when Zhao Zhen took office, he was very excited and handled government affairs day and night. With his body bones, he could not bear it. Soon he fainted and almost died.

But the ministers did not appreciate it. In addition, the deposed Empress Guo, Fu Bi wrote a letter saying that Zhao Zhen could not follow the instructions of his ancestors, disrespect his parents, and was so sad that you fainted because of too many sexual intercourse. This is simply nonsense. In his later years, Zhao Zhen's health was even worse, but he was so beautiful that he tried his best to make a child, but he did not see him fainting.

But Fu Bi was kind-hearted and wrote a letter. Everything was placed on the table. No one was sent to the market to threaten the city, causing rumors in the capital. No other was cursed.

This matter became a big deal, and even the old lady, Concubine Chen, could not shelter her.

Therefore, the trial continued thoroughly, and even the masters of the Imperial City Division were dispatched one after another. As a result, the investigation was more serious than expected. Not only the people, but also the military camps, saying that God did not bless His Majesty, causing the sage heir to be infertile.

Why doesn’t God bless Your Majesty? That is, your emperor is not a good emperor. But now Zhao Xu works hard to govern and save money. Where can he not do well? It is undoubtedly a reform.

What's so bad is that this rumor will not be very consistent with the birth of the prince of Chen Weigong. That is, in addition to Chen Weigong's curse, there are also people spreading rumors.

Wang Anshi stopped talking. This water was too confused. Anyway, he was cursing Zhao Xu and the reform. Behind Chen Weigong, he was definitely not a minister of the reform sect.

But who taught this?

Therefore, Zhao Xu checked Sun Jue's memorials because Chen Weigong slandered Han Qi after Sun Jue wrote a letter, which was inspired by Sun Jue. However, Sun Jue's letter was not many ministers, including Wang Jue.

Of course, it was not Lu Gongzhu, who was also very passive in this matter.

Not to mention Wen Yanbo, he is already the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture, not worth it, nor is he a reform faction. He can take Han Qi's Hebei appeasement envoy, and Han Qi wrote a letter to resign from this official position. Wang Anshi took it away, but it is not worth offending Han Qi too much. Not to mention the reputation and huge relationship accumulated by Han Qi in the past ten years, Han Qi's children and in-laws are also very good. Han Gongyan's ex-wife is the daughter of Jia Changfu, the cousin of Jia Changfu, and the rear wife is the daughter of Zhang Wenchang. Han Zhiyan is the daughter of Han Qi's wife and brother Cui Mian, the chief of Dali Temple. Han Zhengyan's wife is Wang's great-granddaughter. Han Zhongyan's wife is Lu Gongbi's two daughters. Han Chunyan is the daughter of the imperial teacher Sun Gu. Han Cuiyan's wife Chen is the daughter of Chen Ru, a scholar in the Zizheng Hall. Han Zhiyan's son Han Feng's ex-wife is Chao Zhonghui's daughter, and his rear-wife is Fan Chunli's daughter... The background of these sons and grandchildren does not count, but they also have daughters. The four sons-in-law are Wang Kecun, Wang Juzheng, Li Qingchen, and Cheng Fu, most of whom are from a background. When they reach their granddaughters, they often have connections with Wu Chong, Wen Yanbo, and Cai Jing's families.

The grandchildren have not yet come out. However, the son and daughter have already started to marry each other.

People who are humans definitely don’t like this kind of marriage, but what can they do if they say that they are a good match?

But it is precisely this kind of relationship that Wang Anshi dared to trample Han Qi to death? He offended too many people because of the reform, but that can be said to be for the country. If you use this Xingjia, you can take advantage of it. Not to mention cursing the emperor without a son, what is the benefit of that reform? In order to trample Han Qi, Wang Anshi obviously wants to put Han Qi aside.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu thought of someone.

First of all, this person is bold and scheming.

Secondly, this person came into contact with Sun Jue’s memorials.

Again, this person is not easy for others to think of, so he dares to do so.

That is why Sima Guang did this, but it seemed to be confused, but in fact it was not doubtful. His intention was to anger Wang Anshi. Moreover, Wang Anshi was very disgusted with Han Qi, and he happened to get something Xingjia. In addition, the curse of the capital angered Zhao Xu. The emperor was angry, and Wang Anshi was angry and would inevitably arrest Han Qi and questioned him. Don’t say it is impossible, but look at Zu Wuze, who is still in prison and the case has not been settled.

Once Han Qi is imprisoned and the sky falls, I don’t know how many people will write letters or even resign and threaten to resign. In the end, it becomes a possibility that they will continue like Lu Yijian, and even stay in the capital when they are sick, forcing him to Luoyang. The reform is over!

Even the five chapters of Sima Guang's affairs that Sun Fu mentioned were written by Sima Guang, and then sent his servants to Chen Weigong, and said something similar to the birth of a prince. Soon after, Chen Weigong believed it and thought it was true. He then said some gossip in the capital. Zhang Ze happened to hear it. Zhang Ze was also rejected by the reform. Of course, he would not inform, but when the matter was a big deal, he had to report it.

It was precisely this background that Zhao Xu began to doubt Chen Xiang.

Not to mention that Chen Xiang could not do it, even the prince's birth would be made soon. Why didn't you dare to step on Wang Ju's feet in the court and then lie down to frame Wang Ju. It was just that Wang Ju was clever and exposed it on the spot. That's it, Wang Ju still couldn't explain it clearly.

This is the trick.

Then Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao said, Gao Taotao was half-believing and half-doubted, and a little annoyed, so he summoned Wang Ju and asked. It was also because of this background that Gao Taotao just asked and did not blame him. So Wang Ju felt suspicious.

Of course, I dare not publicize this case, even Wang Ju was in the valley.

After the bidding competition, the Imperial City Department was still conducting a thorough investigation, but Zhao Xu couldn't help it.

Sima Guangjin talked about Zizhi Tongjian, borrowing the story of Jia Shan's memorial in the Han Dynasty, saying that it should not be demoted by Lu Gong, Li Chang, Song Minqiu and others, and also said that Wang Anshi was virtuous, but he was stubborn, Li Ding had no talent, and Lu Huiqing was treacherous.

When Zhao Xu was upset, he said, "I have deceited to slander the book, which has shaken the army. He also said that God does not bless Your Majesty, and the sages are infertile. It is probably what you wrote."

If it were ordinary people, they would be scared and sweating. However, Sima Guang's expression was calm and said, "Your Majesty has seen all the letters I have written to you, and I have never shown you the news."

The book Zhao Xu refers to was the five memorials collected by Chen Weigong. It was not a real memorial, but it made Sima Guang say it as a real memorial. Zhao Xu sneered in his heart and said, "What you say is ignorant of outsiders, and what the censors say is not known, but outsiders already know it."

If you say what you say, people outside don’t know, but if you and the censors say, I will know it before I know it. The simplest thing is like the three letters Sima Guang wrote to Wang Anshi. Zhao Xu didn’t know it, but it was spread all over the streets and alleys of Kaifeng. However, Zhao Xu was finally a king, so it was difficult to break up and talk.

Sima Guang was embarrassed and unable to answer.

However, although Zhao Xu was angry, there was no direct evidence, just a guess, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Today, Sun Shuao said that the country has its own rights and the people hate it."

King Zhuang of Chu asked Sun Shuao, "I don't know the policies to govern the country (I don't know why I am a country, that's right, it means things, policies and regulations).

Sun Shuao said that many people hate the policy of governing the country, and it is useless to tell you (the country has its own rights and is hateful to everyone, and I am afraid that the king will not be able to decide).

King Zhuang of Chu said, is it all the mistakes of me, the king? Are the ministers not responsible?

Sun Shuao said that the king treated scholars arrogantly, believing that talents could not be rich without relying on the country, and the scholars also treated the king arrogantly, believing that the king could not be in a long-term state without talents. The king did not know the reason for the country's demise. The scholars were hungry and cold and could not obtain a corresponding status. Therefore, if the king and his subjects were not in harmony, then the major affairs of the country would not be able to be done well.

Zhao Xu used this allusion to implicitly say that the policy of governing the country will partially harm the interests of many people, so many people oppose it. But the country remains unchanged and goes to destruction, and the scholars and officials will not think about it. Why can't everyone unite and make the country rich and strong and share wealth?

It means that Sima Guang has this ability, so why don’t you put this ability on state affairs and do some conspiracies?

As long as you Sima Guang correct it, let’s forget about this, God doesn’t bless His Majesty, I won’t care.

However, Sima Guang was excited again and immediately said, "Only, Your Majesty should observe the right and wrong and then defend it. But what the Regulation Department does today is just Wang Anshi, Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing think it is right, and the world thinks it is wrong. How can Your Majesty share the world with the three of you?"

There was no medicine for treatment, and Zhao Xu asked Sima Guang to retreat.

However, Zhao Xu undoubtedly alerted the enemy. With Sima Guang's talent, he would not immediately clean up some clues.

The clues disappeared together and could not be investigated again. If they continue to investigate, it is estimated that the whole world, including the Western Xia of Liao, would laugh at Zhao Xu and his sons for their early death. Therefore, the imperial edict said that Chen Weigong, the envoy of the Imperial City, was resentful because he was unsuccessful for his gratitude. He asked his disciple Sun Fu to threaten that the prince would be born soon. He was involved in the Xingjia case. So he killed Sun Fu in the market. An old lady behind Chen Weigong had no effect and was demoted to Hainan Island.

But no matter what, with this old lady, it is different from Wu, otherwise Chen Weigong would definitely die this time.

The court took into account Zhao Xu's face and only disclosed a small part of the truth.

However, this case was quite beneficial to Wang Ju, and Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, this can see that some people do everything they can to suppress dissidents, and Wang Ju was wronged."

From the three shortcomings, and then to the prince’s life, then Chen Xiang can’t make a fake fall?

Moreover, Gao Taotao's summons were also beneficial to Wang Ju.

Sima Guang always said that I was a gentleman, selfless and dedicated to the country. Although it confuses many people, if you think about it carefully, it is always a bit fake.

On the contrary, what Wang Ju said is more credible. It is difficult for gentlemen and wise ministers to learn from them. We are just politicians, at most, learning from Lu Yijian. Although they have selfish intentions, they put national interests above their private interests and exchange political achievements for glory and wealth. They are also useful ministers of the country.

Wang Ju said this and did this. Not only did he achieve political achievements, but he would not only use the benefits brought by several workshops, no matter how Wang Ju used it, but he would mostly use it in the country.

Therefore, Gao Taotao also began to question Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang himself was not decisive and was slapped in the face. Do you still want to stay in the capital? However, Chen Xiang said he was reluctant to leave. He was nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital. He wrote several resignations, but he never fired him. He simply threw the official seal back like Zhang Zai, or like Wang Ju, the affairs of the general's weapon supervision were settled, so wait.

However, it has not been done yet. After hearing some news, Zhang Ruoshui immediately said to Wang Ju: "Zi'an, congratulations." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
