In the meantime, Zhao Zhen returned to the inner palace and invited Li Wei to inquire about the reason for the situation, Li Wei refused to confide in the princess and Liang Huaiji's private affair, nor did he say his mother, but said that the husband and wife quarreled, and he was impulsive and beat the princess.

But Zhao Zhen not only asked him alone, but also called everyone present that day to ask one by one. Under the majesty of the emperor, not everyone can hide their relatives from each other, so the truth of the matter is almost revealed in front of the emperor.

However, Zhao Zhen never believed that his arrogant daughter would fool around with a eunuch. That Liang Huaiji said that he was just drinking with the princess to relieve her boredom, which should be the truth. But this kind of thing between men and women has always been yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants, how can you tell the difference?

"Great official, you have to protect Huirou's reputation......" Concubine Miao Xian pleaded uneasily.

"I don't want to pursue it now, I just hope that this matter can be stopped as soon as possible and stop making a big fuss." Zhao Zhen rubbed his temples and commanded in a low voice: "Tell everyone that they must unify their statements, based on the horse's words today, just say that the princess and the horse are having an awkward relationship, don't pull out any Liang Huaiji, and you can't pull out the uncle and wife!" Don't reveal the slightest bit of tone, let people grab the handle! ”

"Yes." Concubine Miao Xian nodded in response.

"Also, Mrs. Guo, you go ......" Zhao Zhen instructed again: "Let the queen accompany you, go and appease her, don't let her leak the news." ”

"It shouldn't be, if this kind of thing spreads, her Li family will be embarrassed."

"How can my aunt be regarded as an ordinary person?" Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly. "Tell her that the princess has made a mistake. I will punish her, and the palace people around her will not be able to escape. and that Liang Huaiji, who will never appear in the princess's mansion again. ”

"This ......" Concubine Miao Xian said a little unhappily: "Why is it all Huirou's fault?" "Huirou is the title of the princess when she was born, and her parents will naturally not change their words.

"This is punishing small mistakes and covering up big mistakes!" Zhao Zhen pulled down his face and said, "If the matter is stabbed out, does she still have the face to take another step out of this palace gate?!" ”

"Then ......" Concubine Miao Xian asked, "How will Huirou arrange it in the future?" ”

"Let her live in the palace for a while." Zhao Zhen said: "When the two sides calm down, you can take her again and go to compensate Mrs. Guo." Just live a good life in the future......"

"It's ...... over" Concubine Miao Xian couldn't help complaining: "It's been three years, if we can live together, we will already be together, such a husband and wife." It's better to reconcile! ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Zhen said angrily: "The fault of this matter lies with Huirou, even if you want to leave, you can only leave!" "A husband abandons his wife and leaves.

"It's the Yang family's fault first......

"You go and talk about this reason," Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Let's see if people will tell me about your daughter not having sex with a colt for three years, and beating her husband and mother-in-law!" ”

"......" Concubine Miao Xian was frightened.

In the afternoon, Empress Cao accompanied Concubine Miao Xian to the princess's mansion to visit her uncle's wife, and the Yang family naturally cried to the queen about being beaten by the princess. Empress Cao persuaded her gently, Concubine Miao Xian begged softly, and after saying all the good things, she reluctantly agreed. Don't get it out the word.

The queen and Concubine Miao Xian, only then did they rest assured that they would return to the palace on a business trip, Zhao Zhen was really angry this time, and after listening to the letter, he only nodded slightly and said: "Invite those prison envoys, the widow has something to discuss with them." ”

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

The next day, a decree came out from the palace, and the three prison envoys who opened the door the day before yesterday were all sent to Xijing and Nanjing, and they were demoted...... In fact, Zhao Zhen had already promised the three of them privately. Within a year to two, they will be transferred back.

At the same time, Li Wei also impeached himself under the instruction of Zhao Zhen, citing some examples, saying that he was immoral and untrustworthy after drinking, and implored the official family to punish Yunyun...... For this reason, Zhao Zhen promised not to investigate him for the crime of beating the princess, and also promised to dispose of the people around the princess, especially Liang Huaiji, and let the princess go to his mother to make amends after a few days, and then live a good life.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhao Zhen's methods can not be described as unclever, one move 'avoid the heavy and light', and one move 'Li Dai Tao stiff', it is said that the princess is basically taken out.

However, after all, he is still protective of his daughter, and he completely forgets that this is a patriarchal society - no matter how noble the princess is, she can't change her gender.

The so-called 'husband is the wife', and the scholars and doctors must defend the dignity of the husband's authority.

So when they saw that Li Wei took the initiative to take responsibility, they stopped doing it. The person who picked this head was Sima Guang, who had just been appointed as a fellow practitioner......

Initiates live in note, the official position is not high, but it is very valuable. Because this is an envoy who is closer to the emperor than the pavilion scholars, his daily job is to write a diary for the emperor...... In addition to his private life in the harem, the emperor has to take him with him everywhere, according to the principle that the closer to the leader, the easier it is to progress. Definitely a good errand that many officials dream of.

Moreover, all state affairs are well understood, as well as the psychology of the emperor and the attitude of the ministers, and the weight of this official position can be imagined.

The energy of the Xinxue Party is absolutely considerable, and when the will came down, it turned out to be the appointment of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang as fellow practitioners. And because they were worried that the two moral gentlemen would be unhappy, Wang Yan and they didn't even inform the two in advance.

As a result, the basket came out - Wang Anshi thought that this job was too boring, and followed the emperor like a tail every day. You have to remember everything that is trivial, it's too trivial. And now he is in front of the judge of the degree, and he is having a taste and wants to do a great job, so he refuses to accept the order.

In that room, Sima Guang sat on the cold bench for two years, and it was easy to move the nest, and it was such a good golden nest, so he was naturally willing to do it. However, as soon as he heard that Wang Anshi would not do it, if he agreed, he would be compared to an 'official fan' by Lao Wang. This is going to become a laughing stock, so the two of them jointly staged a rare resignation drama.

The ministers of the political hall thought at first that the two were just intentionally polite...... This is also due to the officialdom at that time, everyone likes to resign, true or false, but most of them want to be that and want to set up that.

But Wang Anshi came to the real place, so he issued an edict five times, and he resigned five times.

Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi closely, and when he saw that this guy had repeatedly resigned, he also followed the edict of five resignations.

But by the sixth time, Sima Guang calculated with his wise brain that he had resigned five times now, and he had earned a lot of face, and he should accept it when he saw it. It would be self-defeating to do it again, so I accepted the appointment 'reluctantly'.

Everyone thought that once Sima Guang accepted the appointment, Wang Anshi probably would not insist.

But I didn't expect that this old man would resign from his appointment and still resolutely refrain from doing it!

Now the prime ministers are angry, and they also want to cure this guy's reluctance. actually gave a death order, let people run to the third division, and handed the edict directly to Wang Anshi, no matter what, he couldn't get it back.

Wang Anshi is also a cattle man, and when he saw someone coming to deliver the edict, he put down the account book in his hand and urinated.

Who knew that the other party was also a Mongolian man, so he put the edict on his bookcase, turned around and left.

Wang Anshi squatted in the thatched house, and when he saw that the other party was leaving so quickly, he realized that something was wrong, and he rushed back to the duty room, and sure enough, he saw the edict lying on the table. I didn't think about it immediately, so I picked up the edict and chased it out.

As soon as the man saw him catching up, he quickly ran away.

But he forgot whose territory this was, and only heard Wang Anshi shouting: "Stop him!" ”

The three divisions are a place of money and food, and naturally there are layers of guards, and the guards saw that the judge gave an order, and they didn't think about it, so they stopped the man.

Wang Anshi strode after him, stuffed the edict back into his arms, and then pushed it out and said, "Release people!" "I insisted that he take the edict back with him.

Wang Dashengren's resignation this time was so strong that there was no one in the past, but the people of the Song Dynasty ate him. thinks that he is noble and noble, and does not make a name for himself. But the more this is the case, the more the court will reuse him......

A few months later, Fu Xianggong specially talked to Wang Anshi, and then issued an edict appointing him as the intellectual ......

This time, Wang Anshi only hesitated slightly, and accepted the appointment so as not to 'interfere with the imperial court'.

Decades later, when recalling this incident, Sima Guang still regretted it, only hating himself for not being a man enough, and failing to persevere to the end.

Of course, that's all for later.

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

At this moment, Sima Guang has just taken office, and it is said that with the nature of his work, he should not talk too much, especially if he may offend the emperor.

But he is a principled person, and when he encounters something that goes against his own concept, he still has to not vomit and be unhappy. He successively published "On the Princess's Inner House" and "Zhengjia Zazi", pointing the finger at the princess, saying that she has always been unfilial to her mother-in-law, disrespectful of horses, and her arrogant reputation is known inside and outside the court! I heard that before entering the palace this time, the princess also beat the Yang family, not only did she have no guilt, but she blocked the palace door at night and entered the ban, ignoring the palace ban Zhou Wei and the safety of the monarch's father!

He also pointed the finger at Liang Huaiji and others, saying, "After the princess locked the palace gate at night, outsiders made a noise and disagreed, all of whom said that there were many ministers in the princess's house, and there were those who were not self-conscious. The princess and her husband's family are not in harmony, or it is caused by the separation of the courtiers. And defended Li Wei that the princess was cautious and there was no big fault. At present, right and wrong are clear, if Li Wei is punished and the princess is defended, it is unfair and reasonable, and the emperor is so biased, how can he set an example for the world? ”

Everything is just as Chen Ke expected, scandals always spread at an alarming speed, and the paper can't contain the fire at all. Rumors about the princess and Liang Huaiji quickly spread in Bianjing City, and fermented into an uproar......

The scholars and doctors, who had already had an opinion on the midnight knock, had an impression of the princess of the kingdom of Gun, and it fell to the freezing point. The daughter of the official family should be an example to the world, but now it is good, the seven sins of being a daughter-in-law have all been committed! (To be continued)
