As soon as the guilt of Sima Guang and others was determined, the previously mentioned idea of respecting literati seemed to be making trouble again, and Xu Jiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Su Song, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, found Baowen Pavilion and opposed the practices of digging up tombs and whipping corpses and killing Lu Dafang.

After a night of mental struggle, and the stigma of rebellion had been revived, Zhao Xu calmed down, and that tough style appeared on his face again; Looking at Xu Jiang and a few people, Zhao Xu said lightly: "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were also capital punishments or exhumation of corpses for rebellious ministers, which is not surprising!" ”

Xu Jiang immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, the second generation of the Han and Tang dynasties, the original matter, but the ancestors of this dynasty have never killed ministers in vain, so the way of governance is clear, far beyond the Han and Tang dynasties; Now that His Majesty has opened this case, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Great Song Dynasty did have the ancestral system of not killing scholars and doctors, which has always been praised by scholars all over the world, and scholars are the cornerstone of governing the country. Therefore, Xu Jiang took this as an admonition, and Zhao Xu fell silent all of a sudden.

Li Qingchen also said: "Sima Guang and others are indeed guilty, but the crime is not as good as this, their rebellion has not been revealed, if Your Majesty digs up the grave and whips the corpse, it may be difficult to convince the people of the world." ”

Strictly speaking, Li Qingchen belongs to the New Deal, not to the New Party; He was a staunch supporter of innovation, but his noble character made him disdain to form a party, so Zhang Dian and others went to Baowen Pavilion to force the palace, but they did not call him; At this time, he came to speak out, which was very consistent with his usual style.

As soon as Li Qingchen's words fell, without waiting for Zhao Xu to speak, Su Song also followed and advised: "Your Majesty, digging people's graves is not a matter of virtue, Your Majesty wants to rule the world, you should be lenient and benevolent, and the monarchy will be virtuous, and the world will follow; If you use violence to control people, then the world is only afraid of disrespect, and Your Majesty is in the heart of great governance, I am afraid that it will backfire! ”

Under the persuasion of several people, Zhao Xu's attitude softened, and in the end, Sima Guang's tomb was saved, and the lives of Lu Dafang and others were also saved.

After Zhang Dian and the others heard the results, they didn't say anything more!

It is indeed not a good thing to dig up people's graves and kill ministers, in fact, no one wants to do this kind of thing, but if this is not the case, I am afraid that it will not be possible to completely defeat the spiritual pillar of the old party, and the new party will have to play a long-term game with the old forces in the future! Da Song's energy still has a long time, and it has to be spent on internal friction.

Fortunately, Gao Tao chased after the waste! The Empress Dowager Xiang is living in Yaohua Palace!

The imminent threat has been lifted, and in the future, the new party can calmly sort out the Great Song Dynasty from top to bottom, from the imperial examination to the government decree and the people's livelihood, and change the consciousness of the people in the world little by little!

Fight with the sky, and the fun is endless! Gao Taotao has fallen, and Lu Dafang is left squatting on the Lingnan side, what else is there to fear?

This incident of chasing down Gao Tao lasted for a whole month.

In the past month, countless people have been implicated, and at the behest of Zhang, the New Party has not stopped doing anything, and has taken advantage of this opportunity to carry out a major purge of the three provinces and six ministries, and the mediocre officials and idlers who had filled various institutions have been empty!

This naturally provoked an even greater revolt, just like in the Yuan Yu period, the officials who had been laid off went to the imperial embassy in batches to complain and appeal, and they wanted to die or live; And many of them were really wronged when they were implicated, saying that they participated in the rebellion case in the first place, it was pure nonsense, and they were not qualified to participate, so they would be even more justified when they went to the imperial embassy to make trouble!

It's a pity that the current emperor is not Gao Taotao, but Zhao Xu, and the prime minister is not Lu Dafang, but Zhang Papi; This is simply a disguised layoff under Zhang Papi's intentions, saying that they participated in the rebellion case, but it is just an official article, and their place was laid off, the real reason is that they are mediocre and redundant, otherwise if they really participated in the rebellion, would it be as simple as just laying off?

Zhang Papi once again explained what is called the wrist of the iron-blooded prime minister, who makes the most trouble, you don't have to go home, go and develop Lingnan!

The New Party does not have a genius like Su Zhe, can find such a happy way for layoffs, the New Party only has a strong attitude, even Gao Taotao has been killed by us, and a few small fish and shrimp can still make you go to the sky?

It was Gao Taotao who recruited you back at the beginning, and you still want to be officials, it's not difficult, follow Gao Taotao! She must have heard others call her 'Nuzhong Yao Shun' underground for a long time, and she must be very eager for you to go down and bow down.

Moreover, this time, the imperial envoy platform itself was placed on the cusp of the storm upside down, according to the remedial plan agreed upon by Yang Yi and Zhang Dian, the general purge of the imperial envoy platform is the top priority, and the personnel change is so large that it is the head of each department; The big knife of the chapter peeling was cut over, and the imperial envoy was drenched in blood, in this case, the imperial envoy was too busy to take care of himself, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to other people's complaints and appeals?

If you sue me, who will I go to?

During the period, the new party was led by Zhang Dan, and the above table asked Concubine Zhu to be the queen mother, although the queen mother was not abolished in name, but she lived in Yaohua Palace to guard filial piety for Emperor Shenzong, and since then she can only be accompanied by green lanterns and wooden fish, in fact, it has been abolished.

However, unexpectedly, Concubine Zhu resolutely refused to accept the title of the Queen Mother, and came to Zhao Xu to cry several times, hoping to take the Queen Mother Xiang back to the palace, so as not to make irresponsible remarks about the world.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu also understood that he could never take the Queen Mother back to the palace under Liu Guifei's constant blowing, and the New Party would never allow this kind of thing to happen. Concubine Zhu was afraid of the gossip of the world, and resolutely refused to be one of the queen mothers of the two palaces; Liu Guifei didn't have this mental obstacle, she didn't know how long she was looking forward to the queen's position, the new party asked for a seal, she gladly accepted, Zhao Xu already doted on her, this matter came naturally, there is basically no doubt, the auspicious day after the seal has been set for March 18.

If you want to say that the calmest department in this storm is probably Jixian Yuan, which is the place where the imperial court trained Jinshi into officials, and it hasn't been cultivated yet, how can it be laid off!

Of course, there are also a few unlucky people, Yang Yi pretended to pack up his personal things as if nothing happened, said goodbye to Xi Letong, Wan Shifang, Liu Yu, Li Delu and others one by one, and walked out of Jixian Courtyard in a daze, looking back at the gate, a feeling of reluctance arose.

Jixianyuan is a good place to raise people! After a few days of resting here, the people have turned white, and their mouths have stopped spitting! The meal is fragrant!

Yang Yi has always been approachable, and when the handyman who guarded the door saw him standing by the door, he came up with a smile and said, "Bachelor Yang is on duty so early, yo!" With so many things in hand, the villain will help you get to the car! ”

"No, no, I can still hold it!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's still the villain, the villain can be in the Jixian Academy, after all, thanks to the blessing of Bachelor Yang, it's better to say that our Jixian Academy, now the yamen are full of unlucky people who have been laid off, and our Jixian Yuan is safe and sound......"

"Who said that our Jixian Courtyard is safe and sound? I am the unique ...... of our Jixian Academy. Bad luck! ”

Yang Yi glared at this eyeless handyman angrily, holding his things, taking eight steps, and leaving!

The watchman's eyes almost didn't fall out, and Master Yang was cut off?

This...... This...... How is this possible? This is even more unbelievable than the posthumous abolition of the Empress Dowager Xuanren!

However, look at this step taken by Mr. Yang, it is really beautiful! It's like troubadour!

It's really worthy of the people who went out of our Jixian Academy!

The evening sun, lightly shining on the pane of the water, dyed half of the Xuan window, and also dyed a pool of melted spring water, the courtyard was silent, lonely and half a bed book; The girl in the prime of her cardamom years held Xiangsi, sat at the desk under the window, and looked at the peach petals falling outside the window, some fell in the water, some fell into the soil, and the fragrance in the wind gently sent ...... The girl's eyebrows frowned into a distant mountain shadow, a faint sorrow fell on the face, dyed a season of spring sorrow, the parrot under the eaves was still calling back and forth, 'Qing Niang', the girl just looked up at it, her eyes hung down lonely, and quietly watched the flowers fall outside the window.

On the table, the thick ink is as smooth as a mirror, a petal just fell down, and was suddenly dyed half red and half black, and there was a circle of fine ripples in the inkstone, the girl sighed lightly, held the pen lightly dipped in ink, rolled up her sleeves and wrote a few lines on the red note:

The wind and dust are exhausted, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night.

Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.

I heard that the spring of Fengxi is still good, and it is also planned to go on a light boat.

I am also afraid of the wind and the stream, and I can't carry a lot of worries.

When she put down her pen, the girl sighed softly, like a lonely goose on an autumn night; In those blinking eyes, there was a glimmer of crystal light.

"Qing Niang! What's wrong? Unhappy again? ”

Yang Yi just walked in, heard the girl's sigh, and couldn't help but feel a lot of apologies in his heart, from the day he returned to Tokyo, he knew that this city touched Qing Niang too deeply, but she didn't have the cheerfulness when she was in Mobei; But during this time, Chaozhong set off a huge wave, he was busy every day, and he had almost no time to take care of Qing Niang, and he didn't even know how she lived every day.

"Brother Yang, I'm fine, probably just guilty of spring sleepiness!"

The girl quickly wiped the hot mist from her eyes and smiled sweetly at Yang Yi.

Yang Yi walked to the dressing table, brought a comb, and was about to help her comb her loose hair, but when she found the poetry lines on the desk where the ink had not dried, her heart suddenly trembled, as if a certain heartstring was suddenly painful; I vaguely remember that after the country was ruined and the family died, Empress Li once wrote the words 'Asking the king how much sorrow he can have, just like a river flowing eastward'.

At that time, Empress Li's sorrow was flowing in the water.

And now, Qing Niang's sorrow was moved to the ship by her.

This sorrow is closer to people and more substantial!

The small boat can't carry a lot of sorrows!

It's just that at Qingniang's age, she should be carefree, fantasizing about the sound of flowers blooming, the wings of butterflies, or the clouds in the sky all day long, why is there so much worry?

Yang Yi put down the comb, hugged her thin shoulders, and sat in front of the window together to watch the sunset, and on the pavilion, there were butterflies flying over the courtyard wall of the neighbor's house, as if chasing the fragrance of flowers in the wind.

"Qing Niang, are the butterfly's wings beautiful?"

"Hmm!"

"You seem to have forgotten your wings!"

Yang Yi tried not to mention Li Gefei and his wife as much as possible, knowing that this could not reduce the sadness in Qing Niang's heart, but he really couldn't bear to mention it.

"I ...... Does Brother Yang know? The little white wolf is locked up in the courtyard every day, so pitiful! Qing Niang suddenly diverted the topic, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

"You're talking about yourself!"

"It's not!"

"I just saw you wipe your tears!"

"I ......"

Yang Yi took the comb and focused on helping her comb her hair, he didn't know how to wear a double bun, so he helped her tie a ponytail at the back of her head, tied it with a floral handkerchief, and then patted her little head lightly, and said: "Qing Niang, the eldest brother likes to collect gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, but what, the eldest brother is busy, and his vision is also poor, can Qing Niang help the eldest brother?" ”

"Okay!" A heartfelt smile quickly appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes were crooked like the moon.

Yang Yi also smiled very happily, people can't be too idle, but also need some fun in life, collecting is the biggest hobby of Qing Niang's life, Yang Yi handed over such a 'difficult' task to her, after having some sustenance every day, maybe she can think less about her deceased parents and less sorrow.

"Then let's decide, tomorrow we will go to the market to Taobao, you, not only have to see it, but also be responsible for teaching the eldest brother the knowledge of collecting, is there a problem?"

"But people don't know much......" The girl's voice lowered, and her face was a little blushing.

Yang Yi pinched the tip of her pink nose, and said with a smile: "You can learn if you don't know much, Qing Niang is so smart, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn?" Of course, if you don't like it, forget it! ”

"Like! Like! Qing Niang was afraid that he would regret it, so she hurriedly hugged his neck and pouted with a coquettish taste.

The girl's slender waist is bunched, and although her body has not fully grown, she has a bit of a graceful posture, exuding a faint virgin fragrance.

Yang Yi pointed to the two-story pavilion opposite and said, "Did you see it?" Our goal is to fill it with gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, wander around, smell the stone rhyme, isn't it the greatest joy in life! ”

"Uh-huh!"

The girl was extremely happy, turned around lightly, gave a fragrant kiss to Yang Yi's forehead, and looked at him timidly.

People are precocious these years, and the girl should have a hazy understanding of love, which makes Yang Daguan's face a little hot, after all, the girl is the twelfth or thirteenth year, the cardamom tip head in early February; Does this count as taking away someone's first kiss? Sin! Sin!

Really speaking, her age is really the favorite of many talented people, such as Du Mu, Bai Juyi and others, seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are already old women who are too lazy to look at them.

Forget it! We can still avoid this kind of thing, spring is coming, maybe when the spring thunder will roll down, where will we hide?

What made Yang Yi even more embarrassed was that Su Qing and Ming'er just walked in at this time, she had been taking care of Qingniang during this time, and she would come over every day to see if she had nothing to do, and the scene just now fell into Su Qing's eyes, Yang Yi was afraid that she would have a misunderstanding, so she hurriedly said: "Why is Jing'er here?" ”

Facing Yang Yi, Su Qing had a playful smile on her face, she didn't answer, she glanced at Yang Yi prettyly, hugged Qing Niang into her arms and said, "Qing Niang, you can't be too used to those girls, look!" And voila! A good head of hair, combed like this by them, like words! ”

"Hee-hee!" Qing Niang let out a few crisp laughs, hugged Su Qing's pink neck and whispered, "Sister Jing'er, this hair was combed by Brother Yang for me!" It's not a girl's comb! ”

"It's no wonder, I said how can I be worse than those stupid girls!" Su Qing didn't look at Yang Yi either, and as she spoke, she scattered Qing Niang's hair, picked up a comb and helped her comb it again.

At this time, Ming'er next to her couldn't hold back any longer, chuckled, and the embarrassed Yang Daguan flew up and slapped him, and with a snap, Ming'er covered her buttocks and ran away, her face was bright red.

"Humph! My uncle knows how to bully others! It's not that people talk about you! ”

"The son doesn't teach, the father's fault, this master should be beaten, naturally the girl will receive it on his behalf." Yang Daguan was not ashamed to say that he choked Ming'er so much that his cheeks were bulging.

Su Qing and Qing Niang glanced at each other, and the two laughed together. After a long while, Su Qing seemed to remember something, and asked Yang Yi curiously, "Official, why did you get off duty so early today?" ”

Yang Yi has never brought the affairs of the court home, and replied with a smile on his face: "There are so many things that have happened in the court recently, it is very tiring, and there is nothing to do in Jixian Academy, so I will come back early today." ”

Su Qing was suspicious, and she couldn't see any suspicion on Yang Yi's face, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"The spring in the courtyard is just right, it's rare to be idle today, let's go out and have a look."

Yang Yi said and took the lead to walk out, the willows by the pond in the backyard were breezing, faint as spring smoke, and several maids were feeding the koi in the pond on the Jiuqu Bridge, and the water turned up patches of red shadows. Yang Yi simply instructed the maid to buy some wine and food in the kitchen and send them to the pavilion in the pool, Qing Niang only drank two cups, and a layer of blush appeared on her cheeks, which was very cute; "Brother Yang, Sister Qing'er, why don't we carry out the wine order!"

Facing the green willow Qingbo, the evening breeze is light wine, Qing Niang's interest is very high, Su Qing held Hao's wrist, held the pot and said: "Okay, then start with Qing Niang, let's rhyme with red letters......"

"Stop! Let's not play this today, let's play with two little bees! Yang Yi didn't bother to use that brain, immediately vetoed it, and put forward his own suggestion.

Su Qingying glanced at him, didn't break his thoughts, and asked with her cheeks: "Official, we haven't talked about the wine order of these two little bees." ”

"It's simple, come, I'll teach you, two little bees, fly through the flowers, fly! Fly......"

Yang Yi taught Su Qing hand in hand, at first she thought it was quite novel, and when Yang Yi did that "poof" kissing action, she couldn't help but snort, her pretty face was redder than Qing Niang!

"Official, what are you teaching? Shame on you! ”

"It's just a show, and you didn't come really, Qing Niang, have you learned, come, let's play first!"

Qing Niang smiled and hid back, but Yang Yi was quick to grab her, and simply hugged her to his lap, threatening with a fierce look: "Qing Niang, if you don't come, big brother won't take you when he goes out in the future!" ”

Under his coercion and temptation, Qing Niang had to stretch out her right hand shyly and timidly...... After the shyness at the beginning, Su Qing and Qing Niang gradually let go, and they really felt more and more addicted to playing.

So on this spring evening, the bees in the backyard of the Yang family flew non-stop......
