Chapter 153: The Root Laid by Sima Guang

Chen Pi looked outside and said, "It's not easy to walk on the official road now, it should probably be tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Those envoys are not very peaceful?" ”

Chen Pi suddenly looked vigilant, glanced outside, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Official, they are very close to those people from the original Sanya, and a few of them even went to Cining Hall and stayed for half an hour. ”

Zhao Xu leaned back in the chair, supported his side face with his right hand, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I guess, they don't have the courage to mess around." Let's take a look at it for a while. ”

Zhao Xu had already controlled the situation, Zhang Dian and other reformers flooded the imperial court, and the armies inside and outside Kaifeng took advantage of this 'flood relief' to be disrupted and transferred away by Zhang Dian and General Xu, Chu You and others, even if they wanted to mess around, these people had little power.

Chen Pi didn't dare to talk much.

Zhao Xu thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Cai You, you don't care about it in the future, keep an eye on Nan Tianyou, and cultivate him well." ”

Chen Pi was stunned, as if he hadn't thought through Zhao Xu's words, and habitually responded: "Yes, the villain obeys the order." ”

Zhao Xu didn't speak again, and continued to review the transcript.

Zhao Xu was busy here, Cai Bian went to the political hall, tried his best to find out some old case files, and brought them back to the blue tile house to read them slowly.

Until now, he has not gone to the Funing Hall to ask for guilt or explanation.

In the court, there are no secrets.

However, in the time of incense, the news of Cai Bian's house arrest of Huang Lu quietly circulated among the high-level people, and various speculations came out.

"Cai Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong have broken up?"

"Is Cai Xianggong against overturning the case for Ah Yun? Is he on the other side? ”

"It is said that he didn't explain, and he didn't even go to the official house!"

"What! Is he crazy? Privately placing a court official under house arrest is a capital crime! ”

"It's really not clear, Cai Xianggong didn't give any explanation!"

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Many people in positions or with enough vision have noticed that there is a problem here.

Cai Bian is not stunned, he will not be impulsive in such a big matter, since he dares to do this, there must be enough reasons for him to be so desperate!

No matter what Cai Bian's reason is, this is not a trivial matter, this is giving people a handle for nothing.

I don't know how many people are sharpening their knives and guns outside, and some big people who have just entered Beijing have joined the battlefield.

Jingdong Road Jiedu sent Xie Lin a letter, criticizing the recent chaos in the imperial court, opposing the reform, blaming Zhang Dian for the crime, and easily beating Cai Bian as a fellow party, which led to Cai Bian's house arrest of Huang Xu, accusing him of 'treacherous loyalty and trying to bring disaster to the world'.

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian are the leaders of the 'New Party', and almost all the reformers since Wang Anshi have looked at him and pointed at him, how could they allow Zhang Dian to be overthrown?

Seeing that for the first time, some people seemed to have a premonition that the scope of the struggle would expand, and they could not wait to write a letter to defend Zhang Dian and others, and at the same time vigorously attacked Xie Lin.

Not long ago, the 'old party' was 'deposed' by Zhang Dian in the name of 'transferring him to another person' and 'deposed' nearly 100 people in one go, and the 'old party' in the world was in a panic all day long, so it naturally fought hard to attack and counterattack.

Triggered by the 'Ayun case', a huge party struggle has started again.

Early the next morning.

came back to Su Song before Zhang Dan, did not return to the house, did not enter the palace, and went directly to Cai Bian's mansion.

Cai Fu gazebo.

Cai Bian didn't sleep all night, looked at him Su Song with dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were red, and sighed lightly: "I know what Su Xianggong wants to ask, I can tell you my attitude: it's over." The most important thing now is to convince Zhang Zihou not to hold on. ”

"No more?"

Su Song had a calm face, savoring Cai Bian's words, and then looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why don't you take the opportunity to overturn the case, this case is overturned, and you can change people in a bright and bright way." ”

Cai Bian's expression moved, and he said very calmly: "From the bottom of my heart, I oppose the hanging of Ah Yun, which is not in accordance with the law and unreasonable, and the case should be overturned." Sima Xianggong was too rash and laid the root of the curse. ”

After more than 20 years, Sima Guang turned over the case that had already been determined, and sentenced him to hanging, from the perspective of common sense, it is indeed excessive, and the traces of party strife are too obvious!

Su Song's face gradually turned cold, and said, "I want to know the real reason." ”

He heard something different from Cai Bian's house arrest and what he said just now.

Cai Bian did not react to Su Song's coldness, and said: "Su Xianggong, that's all I can say, I hope you come forward and hold down some people." It's really going to be big, and we can't clean it up. ”

Su Song felt more and more that there was something wrong here, thinking back to the case, and suddenly said, "Return the case file." ”

Cai Bian shook his head and said, "It's better that Su Xianggong still doesn't think about it, Zhang Zihou will be back soon, and I will persuade him with the same words." ”

Su Song's brows tightened, and his old face was cloudy. Cai Bian has always been cautious, since he dares to do this, maybe there is something really hidden in it.

What is hidden?

Since Cai Bian didn't say much, Su Song had to get up.

"Don't go to the official's house." Cai Bian said suddenly.

Su Song listened, first stunned, then his expression changed slightly, his face was dark, and he sat back and did not move.

Cai Bian sighed in his heart, Su Song is old in Huan Hai, as long as he breaks a little, he can understand, but he doesn't know what choice Su Song will make after figuring it out.

Cai Bian didn't care what he thought, and said, "You should know the attitude of the officials. Zhang Zihou, you should know even more that this case is best not resolved, if you take the opportunity to do something, the official family and Zhang Zihou will not be easy to be good. ”

Su Song quickly regained his expression, glanced at him, leaned on crutches, and walked straight away.

Cai Bian looked at his back for a long time, and whispered to himself: "I hope there won't be too many people who can see it." ”

In Kaifeng City after the heavy rain, demons and monsters came out together, and the already unstable situation became more and more turbulent.

A strange dodge-shaped notebook appeared in the political affairs hall and appeared on Zhao Xu's desk.

Less than noon, Zhang Dian also returned to Kaifeng.

As soon as he came back, the government and the opposition suddenly boiled even more.

The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, following the successive letters, used the 'Ayun case' to criticize Sima Guang and others, from Sima Guang's abolition of the 'Xining Law', to Xia Liao's groveling, to the repetition of the 'Ayun case', etc., to carry out all-round criticism.

When the 'new party' heard the news, the government and opposition forces quickly mobilized, including Cai Qu, Zeng Bu, and other 'new party' bigwigs, who had not yet been transferred back, also vied with each other to show up, regarding this case as the key to 'eliminating' the 'old party'.

One after another, the heavyweight scripts quickly raised this old case, as if it exceeded the scope that the Three Law Divisions could handle.

Inside the palace, the government hall.

Su Song, who had been patrolling the river for many days and hurrying, and had not slept all night, looked at the tall and strong Xie Lin in front of him with red eyes.

Su Song had a calm face and said, "You are a border minister to pre-empt political affairs, do you know the consequences?" ”

Xie Lin was full of solemnity and said: "Xianggong, in today's situation, do you still want us to keep our mouths shut?" ”

Su Song frowned, Xie Lin is also a person with many merits, he has reached the position of the envoy of the festival, the next step is to appease the envoy all the way, and he will be the important minister of the feudal officials!

"Don't get involved in this matter!"

Su Song then said in a commanding tone, very decisively: "Tell the others, this is the end!" Don't say anything righteous and awe-inspiring to me. Cai Bian can put Huang Xu under house arrest, and I can also lock you up! ”

Xie Lin was taken aback, he didn't expect Su Song to say such a thing.

He couldn't figure it out, Zhang Dian wanted to overturn the case, once the case was overturned, he would inevitably retaliate frantically against them, the 'old party', Su Song, who was the ruler, bore the brunt of the attack, why did he still hold back and wait to be killed?

Xie Lin was not stupid, after thinking about it, he raised his hand more and more solemnly and said, "Please make it clear." ”

Su Song snorted coldly and said: "That's all I have to say, if you and whoever is behind you are obsessed, you don't need Zhang Zihou to make a move, I, as the chief executive, will take the first step to send you to Lingnan, or even Zhanzhou!" ”

Zhanzhou, in the later generations of Hainan Island, the most remote place of the Song Dynasty, was the most severe punishment of officials in the Song Dynasty in the past.

Xie Lin looked at Su Song's determined expression, his expression hesitated, and said, "Xianggong, I can not speak, but I can't stop the others." ”

Su Song said: "Then you will watch the others being sent to Zhanzhou by me!" ”

The corners of Xie Lin's face moved, and he still said unwillingly: "Su Xianggong, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, if we don't do anything, I'm afraid that Zhanzhou won't be able to go!" ”

Su Song's eyebrows were irritable, and his heart was even more annoyed, and said, "As long as you don't mess around, it's fine." Zhang Zihou can still suppress him! ”

Xie Lin didn't believe it at all, in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why Su Song was still able to sit in the position of ruling was nothing more than that the previous court situation was still unstable, and Zhang Dian had gradually controlled the court situation, how could he tolerate Su Song, the 'old party', who had been holding this position?

Su Song didn't want to talk nonsense, and said: "I'll go to see Zhang Zihou, you tell those people, within today, withdraw all the scripts, and don't write any more." If I see the transcript of the Ayun case again today, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

As soon as Xie Lin was about to speak, Su Song was already on crutches and went straight out of the duty room.

Xie Lin stood in place, looked at Su Song's back, and said to himself with a strange expression: "Cai Bian is imprisoning Huang Lu, you want to detain me, what the hell is going on?" ”

The 'new party' imprisons the 'new party', and the 'old party' imprisons the 'old party'.

Blue tile house.

Not long after he came back, he came after a short rest.

Cai Bian sat not far from him, thinking about whether he had persuaded Su Song before, and after a moment of silence, Cai Bian took out two official documents from the drawer, stood up, handed them to Zhang Tun, and said, "This case must be resolved silently." ”

Cai Bian said, and when he saw the recital that Zhang Dian was writing, his pupils shrank-it was to impeach Sima Guang!

Zhang Dian kept writing, and he also knew what Cai Bian was talking about, and said lightly: "If I am soft-handed, it won't be long before you and I have to go to Lingnan, and I will die of desolation and old age on the road." ”

The Song Dynasty did rarely kill scholars and doctors, but it was more ruthless than killing! Many people were tossed and transferred around, and finally died on the way to their new positions.

Cai Bian sighed in his heart and said, "You can take a look first." ”

Zhang Dian quickly finished writing, carefully examined it, and then picked up the two official documents handed over by Cai Bian.

Before he could finish reading, he turned his head to look at Cai Bian sharply.

Cai Bian nodded and said, "I also thought of it suddenly, and it won't be long before more and more people think of it." There are more of them than we are, and if we were to put them up, we would be in an awkward position. ”
