- Sima Guangcai realized the seriousness of the situation, and now Zhao Zongji is still in Guangxi...... Although there was a truce there, he could not return to the capital until a formal treaty was signed...... Even Chen Ke was sent to Bianjing, and his side was in the weakest period.

Although Wang Yan often had the idea of replacing him, even he admitted that at this difficult time when the future was uncertain, only Chen Ke could pinch the loose coalition of Zhao Zongji's forces together.

"Does Zhong Fang know?" Sima Guang asked.

"At first, I only thought that this was an anecdote, so I didn't inform him, and when I found out that the other party had other plans, it was too late to wait for him to reply." Wang Yan can't wait to support the overall situation alone, otherwise how can he show his ability to turn the tide?

"Hmm." Sima Guang nodded slowly and said, "Before His Highness returns to Beijing, we have to find a way to delay. After saying that, he smiled bitterly in his heart, even if he came back, what could he do?

To be honest, he actually regretted it a little.

Now that Zhao Zongshi has become a big trend, even if he has a small gain, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Don't look at the eight princes in the center, it seems that there are four princes who are good with Zhao Zongji. But if you look closely, Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng are all loyal and lonely ministers who only know how to offend people and don't know how to unite people, Zeng Gongliang, Wang Qi and others, and they are also cautious and independent gentlemen who are wise and wise to protect themselves, even if there are many such characters, they are not as good as one Han Qi can stir up.

Outside the center, Zhao Zongji's party has no chance of winning.

But who made him impatient to be idle and cold back then, relying on Chen Ke's strategy of dumping and dissolving salt, he washed away the shame in one fell swoop, and impressed the officials and ministers. Later developments. It was even more unexpected that he was killed by Li Liangzuo without hiding his pet. Western Xia took the initiative to sue for peace with the Great Song Dynasty.

Among them, the power struggle within the Western Xia is the main reason, but the Great Song Dynasty is the only one. Naturally, all the credit will be attributed to Sima Guang's body.

So Sima Guangguang, who was ridiculed a few years ago, has turned into a dry city of the country with a clever plan to secure the world, and the future is limitless.

All this started with Chen Ke's clever plan...... What is most feared in officialdom is that you owe favors to everyone. Sima Guang undoubtedly owed Chen Ke a great favor, but he was dragged onto the thief ship by him in a daze.

Now Sima Guangjian is on the emperor's side, and he is the confidant of the official family, so his value has naturally doubled. recalled Chen Ke's investment when he was frustrated. Now it can be described as a million profits, but I really admire this guy's vision...... Well, it seems a bit narcissistic to say that......

In any case, he has already been designated as Zhao Zongji's party because of Su Zhe's matter. Although there are some regrets, Sima Guang knows very well that he has no other way - it is not a gentleman to go to Zhao Zongshi again, his reputation is ruined, and this official can't do it. It's not impossible to withdraw halfway, but it's already offended people. In the future, it will be difficult not to say, and there is no hope.

Sima Guang was so familiar with that taste that he really didn't want to do it again.

Thinking about it, I can only go sideways, and one road to the dark. If you can fight your way out, you will be the future of iron and the reputation of Jinzhu.

If you lose...... Sima Guang smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, it's a big deal to go home. Fix my "Tongzhi" and go!

After Wang Yan left, Sima Guang closed the manuscript, put it in the box, and locked it. It seems that in the short term, I don't plan to take it out again.

Standing up, Sima Guang sighed, and said in his heart, Chen Ke, Chen Ke, I hope that as you say, there will be a big turn in the autumn. Otherwise, the old man, alas, will be pit out of the egg yolk by you......

Seeing Sima Guang's abnormal behavior, the twelve-year-old Sima Kang was a little frightened: "Father, what are you going to do?" ”

"Kang'er." Sima Guang looked at Sima Kang kindly and said, "Do you want to go to see the Qilin?" ”

"I want to ......" Sima Kang was afraid of being taught a lesson by his strict father, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "I don't want to." ”

"Then the Father went to see it himself." Sima Guang walked to the door with a straight face, looked at his confused son, and laughed: "Silly boy, don't keep up yet!" ”

"Yes, Daddy!" Sima Kang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly jumped to keep up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two rì was followed by the early dynasty.

The topic of the hundred officials today is no longer a major national political event such as soldiers, peasants and river workers, but the Rui Beast Qilin that has arrived outside the south gate of the capital...... The goods actually arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, but Qin Tianjian said that the latter is the zodiac auspicious, so it is necessary to wait a little longer.

But the hundred officials couldn't wait any longer, the aura of that divine beast had already enveloped the capital, making them move one by one. From how the unicorn is extraordinary, when it comes to the etiquette when it comes to greeting, the most important thing is whether the official family should greet it in person...... Some people say that the official family is the son of heaven, and the divine beast is also a beast, so how can there be a reason to welcome it. But more people objected and said that the Son of Heaven is also the son of heaven, and the beast of heaven is the message of God to the Son of Heaven.

The officials were discussing hotly there, but Zhao Zhen seemed to be excited. That's right, the official family has never welcomed anyone in the suburbs in their lives, but now the precious first time is to be dedicated to a beast, and no one can be happy.

But Fu Bi and Han Qi, who have been dealing with Zhao Zhen for 20 years, saw that something was wrong...... With Zhao Zhen's feelings, he will only have this attitude when he is extremely uninterested in this matter.

Han Qi naturally didn't say anything, so Fu Bi asked softly, "Dare to ask Your Majesty what he wants?" ”

The prime minister spoke, and it was the emperor who asked, and the noisy hall was immediately audible. Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Hehe, the widow remembered that Sima Aiqing presented a fu this morning." After a pause, he said: "The name is "Jiaozhi Presents Strange Beasts", right, Sima Aiqing?" ”

"Yes." Sima Guang put down his pen and got up to answer.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but curse, sure enough, it was the moon near the water, and we all wanted to wait for the ceremony to enter the congratulatory table, but we were taken the lead by this guy.

"Aiqing's endowment is naturally excellent, but the widow is more interested in the "Entering the Table" at the beginning of it." Zhao Zhen said lightly: "You read it to the ministers." ”

"Yes." Sima Guang took the note sent by Hu Yandui, and read in a deep voice:

"Chen Guangyan: This month, there is an edict that the officials and the people can go to the strange beasts offered by Guanjiaozhou called the unicorn. Twenty-five rì, the minister took his young son to see it, but the minister was stupid and did not learn, and it was not enough to recognize foreign objects. Stealing the beast is also invisible. It is famous but invisible, and the biography is tangible, and it is ...... to go to the saint for a long time."

The main hall echoed with Sima Guang's righteous words. The hundred officials listened to him describe the shape of the strange beast he saw...... The neck is like a bear, the mouth is like a bird, the head of a pig and the body of a horse, like a cow but with horns, like an elephant but with scales, its strength is great, xìng is affectionate but gentle, probably produced in a distance, so it cannot be found in books.

As soon as the conversation turned, Sima Guang imagined the compliments of the ministers like cháo clouds, and then imagined the emperor's answer: 'This monster, born south of the five mountains, out of the swamp coast, get it, my virtue will not increase, even if it goes, my virtue will not be reduced...... It is better to change the welcome beast to welcome the soldier, and the cost of raising the beast will be paid to the monk......

It means that although we don't know whether this product is a unicorn or not, we have made chickens and dogs jump across the country. If it weren't for the unicorn, it would have made the small country of Fanbang see our jokes, even if it was really a unicorn, it was sent by others, not by himself on the land of my Great Song Dynasty, it was the auspiciousness of others, and it had nothing to do with us.

Therefore, Yichen foolishly saw that we still don't admit it, and returned it to the toe. Of course, in order to show the demeanor of my Great Song Dynasty, I can give gold and silver to the Jiaozhi envoy, give an edict, and praise its favors'...... Let's wait for Xiangrui to come by himself, it's not uncommon for someone else to send it.

In this way, the small state of Jiaozhi can't look at our jokes, and we don't lose our long-term strategy, which is very good.

In the end, Sima Guang did not forget to raise his head and said: In the future, as long as the emperor 'takes the righteousness as the foundation and self-cultivation as the foundation', the world will naturally 'clarify the three lights and bless the spirits; When the wind and rain come, the grain is abundant'. That's the real auspiciousness!

The ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this, but Zhao Zhen nodded approvingly: "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

The ministers were still dumbfounded, and even Han Xianggong's face changed...... He thought that if Chen Ke was transferred out of the capital, Zhao Zongji's party would lose his soul, but he didn't expect this Sima Guang to jump out, and this level was even higher than Chen Ke!

Regarding this matter that everyone is helpless about, Sima Guang's handling opinions can be said to be both decent and comprehensive, the soup is not leaky, and it is flawless!

The originally lively discussion came to an abrupt end, and no one dared to refute Sima Guang, because this guy firmly occupied the height of morality, and it was impossible to refute it!

The so-called 'one bird cries, a hundred birds hope to cry' refers to the current scene......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A grand ceremony to welcome auspicious Rui ended like this, disappointing the people of Bianjing.

However, what was even more disappointing was Han Xianggong, who had planned the plan of 'borrowing auspicious rui to ask for the crown prince', which was completely ready, but he was stillborn......

"Sima Xiaoer!" Han Xianggong made a rare gaffe...... In his own duty room, of course...... He smashed the tea bowl to smithereens, and roared angrily at a few henchmen who were silent: "Dare to spoil me several times!" ”

"Anger at the mercy of the public." Wu Kui, the governor of the political affairs, said stubbornly: "If the official family doesn't see the unicorn, can't we make a fuss?" ”

Han Qi calmed down, yes, the so-called auspicious rui is just a reason to find an outlet for the hundred officials to ask the prince to be established. This excuse doesn't work, so just change it.

"I can't let go of Sima Guang!" Han Qi set the tone first, and then asked, "What are your ideas?" ”

"This method can kill two birds with one stone and turn the tide." Wu Kui is not easy, he has done all the political affairs of the governor, and he has to bow down and be small in front of Han Xianggong.

"Sell less." Han Qi took a sip and said: "If you have something to say, ...... say it quickly" but the latter sentence didn't pop out, which made Wu Kui secretly glad that he wouldn't be too late to come to the stage-
