Chapter 357: The Secret War (Part II)
- After learning that the center was not allowed to enter the center, Sima Guang immediately went up and said:
'The minister thought that the country placed this big science, and he was a talented and far-reaching person, and he did not use his rhetoric to be glamorous, and he was virtuous in reciting miscellaneous knowledge. 'Felt' students tried the words, and the ministers did not dare to speak. But seeing that he corrected the gains and losses of the court, he had no worries, and he was the most straightforward among all beings. If this is not accepted now, then the people in the world are afraid that the court has set up a department of outspoken advice. And the 'felt' was deposed for his outspokenness, and since then the Quartet has been hiding from his words, and his loss in the virtue of the Holy Lord's leniency is not fine! โ
Sima Guang's recital is on the chapter, and Hu Su also wrote fiercely, thinking that this person exalts himself by criticizing the monarch and attacking the current politics, which is obviously well-intentioned and famous.
The matter even alarmed the center, Han Xianggong and Zeng Xianggong also supported Hu Su, thinking that this case could not be opened, otherwise there would be many slanderers who slandered the king, thinking that it would be a shortcut to the south'!
But there are also many supporters of Sima Guang, such as Fu Xianggong, Ouyang Xiu, and Bao Zheng, all of whom believe that this dynasty has not been convicted for words for a hundred years, so they have developed a sense of outspokenness and daring to admonish scholars. Now that he has fallen because of this, he is afraid that he will hurt his morale and saintliness!
The two factions were at loggerheads over this, according to the practice of the Northern Song Dynasty - one could never convince the other, nor could the other be convinced. had to lift the ball to Zhao Zhen's feet again.
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to criticize: 'Ask for a straight word and abandon it, what does the world say about me!' โ
In this way, the student is admitted to the fourth class.
But the struggle is not over yet, and the king of the knowledge system, Anshi, has already released his words. Even if this person is Chinese, he can't expect to get an edict of appointment from him!
In the uproar, the government and the opposition were full of curiosity about this kid who dared to risk the world's condemnation, and for a while, not only did no one pay attention to the other four who were listed in the fourth class, but even the second third-class limelight in a hundred years was also stolen by him.
In the limelight. The candidate's name finally came to light, and it turned out that this gentleman who was not afraid of death had the surname Su Mingzi!
And the third-class one. (First. Fa) is his brother-in-law Su Shi, and the other four are named Wang Jie, Chen Qi, Deng Xuan, and Lu Huiqing......
In the pavilion of Chenfu Garden, Chen Ke and Su Zhe sat opposite each other.
The Su brothers were in high school at the same time. It can be described as a story for the ages, which is gratifying, but at this moment, the faces of the two are not half happy.
"Anyway, this time out of the six, our Jiayou Society accounted for five, in short, it was a big victory." Su Zhe was wearing a blue sรจ robe, and his face was not very good-looking.
"yes." Chen Ke nodded and smiled: "This is an improvement for our subject." He asked softly, "How is my father-in-law now?" โ
"My dad is angry." Su Zhe said with a wry smile on his face: "I'll borrow a few rรฌ from your house, and I'll go back when he is angry." โ
"Whatever you want." Chen Ke nodded. He said softly: "This time there is a lot of uproar, in fact, someone is taking the opportunity to make trouble. Look at it, there will be more trouble later, and you will have to boil for a while. โ
"Hey......" Su Zhe rubbed his face and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" โ
"Don't worry too much. You just have to read quietly, don't listen to what's going on outside the window, and don't learn from mediocre people to find it yourself. Chen Ke smiled: "Leave the rest to me." โ
"Hmm." Su Zhe nodded and said with a smile: "I hope my 'death' can have some value." โ
"It's so valuable!" Chen Ke nodded heavily and said, "All of us have to thank you!" โ
Now Zhao Zongji is still in Guangxi. Chen Ke is struggling again in the capital, and no matter who looks at it, they will not be the ones who take the initiative to provoke the fight.
However, if you know that the struggle is inevitable and that the other side will definitely take the initiative to attack, then the best countermeasure is to strike first. On the battlefield where you can have an advantage, fight a decisive battle that you are sure of!
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Ke agreed to Su Zhe's straightforward policy. He knew very well that as Su Zhe, in such a sensitive period, if he wrote such a straightforward policy and criticism of current affairs in the imperial examination, he would inevitably be regarded by the other party as a godsend, and he would chase and beat him hard!
I can't bear the child's wolf. The reason why Chen Ke dared to use his brother-in-law as bait was because he had precious information from Sima Guang - he knew that Zhao Zhen was in a state of mind where self-blame and responsibility were intertwined, so he came up with this policy that was similar to a criminal edict.
But under the stimulation of the two in and two out of the center, Zhao Zongshi and his party have fallen into fear and anger, and they urgently need to do something immediately to reverse the decline in order to prove to the world that everything is still under control!
So how could they still think about Zhao Zhen's painstaking efforts, they only saw that Su Zhe was Chen Ke's brother-in-law, thinking that his strategy was to raise the flag for Zhao Zongji's party, and to gather those frustrated people who were dissatisfied with the government and could not get benefits from Zhao Zongshi. So arguing together, it's like seeing a bull with red cloth and pounce viciously!
They didn't care at all about Zhao Zhen's royal approval of 'asking for straightforwardness and abandoning it, what does the world say about me', thinking that this was just the emperor's face. As everyone knows, Zhao Zhen has already made up his mind to change the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty in the past 20 years, and pave the way for the new monarch to implement reforms in the future.
In this case, Su Zhe's stay is no longer a matter of his personal ups and downs, but related to the direction of the national policy.
Do you want to keep going, or do you start to pick yourself up? No matter how weak Zhao Zhen is, he can't drop the chain at the beginning. So even if he is unhappy with Su Zhe, he will firmly protect him.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Zhen inevitably thinks that the reason why they did not let go of a small Su Zhe was to protect the illusion of the 'prosperous age' and prevent themselves from paving the way for reform.
As long as Zhao Zongshi and the others don't realize this for a day, they will continue to attack Su Zhe. As everyone knows, their opponent has quietly changed from Chen Ke's side to Emperor Zhao Zhen!
They thought that under the banner of maintaining the dignity of the emperor, they could chase and fight fiercely. But he forgot that he trampled on the emperor's authority first-Su Zhe is the person who was approved by the official family, but they must finish him, isn't this denying the authority of the official family?
Chen Ke's hand of 'fighting and turning the stars' is really his life's proud work.
Of course, he alone could not complete this battle. In addition to Su Zhe, who was used as bait, Sima Guang, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, played a vital role.
Without the news revealed by Sima Guang in advance, Chen Ke could not make a decision; Without Sima Guang as the detailed official, Su Zhe would not have been selected; Without Sima Guang's cleverly worded writing afterwards, Zhao Zhen would not have regarded Su Zhe as a sign of his wide range of views and interests.
It can be seen that it was an important move to marry Sima Guang back then!
According to the regulations, after the department is selected, the official must be awarded immediately without delay.
And there are certain rules for what rank should be awarded to what official. It was soon decided that Su Shi would be appointed as a judge of Dali and a judge of Fengxiang Mansion. Su Zhe and other five people were appointed as secretaries of the provincial school, Su Zhe was appointed as the governor of Shangzhou, and Wang Jie and other four people were appointed in Bianjing.
This is because Song Dynasty officials had to have experience in local politics before they could serve in the imperial court. Su Shi and Su Zhe are missing this piece, and they must be made up. Among them, there is no lack of protection at the cusp of Su Zhe.
The edict of the other five people was soon issued, but Su Zhe's appointment was blocked--Wang Anshi, the king of the Zhizhi Dynasty, thought that he was protecting the prime minister and specializing in the master, and refused to write a speech.
The appointment made by the emperor himself was stopped by his secretary, which was unimaginable in other dynasties, but it was commonplace in the Song dynasty.
Because when Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were designing the system, they not only thought about balancing the civil and military, but also thought that the future generations would be faint monarchs and mediocre lords, in order to avoid their own country being ruined by unscrupulous descendants. Zhao Kuangyin also imposed many restrictions on imperial power - the most representative of which was to give the officials of the two systems the power to 'seal and return the prefix'.
The so-called 'word prefix' is the emperor's edict. Theoretically speaking, the prefix has no legal effect, and only after the officials of the two systems write a formal edict according to the prefix, it will become a golden rule. As soon as the officials of the two systems felt that this will was inappropriate, he had the right to seal the prefix back and refuse to write the edict, so that the emperor's words would become air.
Of course, not everyone has the courage to exercise the right to be returned, that is to cut the emperor's face and slap the emperor's mouth. This power can only play its real role in the hands of a hard-boiled person like Wang Anshi.
It's just that no one expected that Wang Anshi would destroy Su Zhe. Everyone knows that his son has a good relationship with Ersu and Chen Ke. In addition, the Xinxue Party has been building momentum for Zhao Zongji, and many people are speculating whether Wang Anshi has become Zhao Zongji's person?
Who would have thought that he would kill Su Zhe mercilessly. Was this infighting, or did he not form a party at all?
Looking at the words that were returned, Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Sima Guang: "Your friend, I really don't give you face." โ
"Wang Jiefu is a moral gentleman," Sima Guang said with a wry smile: "In his eyes, any human affection and face are not worth mentioning compared to the laws of the imperial court." โ
"He's a moral gentleman, so what are you?" Zhao Zhen said with a playful smile.
"Weichen has always been a moral gentleman," Sima Guang's wisdom made him enough to deal with any difficulties: "Come and demand yourself." โ
"That's weird," Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Why did the two moral gentlemen pinch up?" โ
"It's normal." Sima Guang said lightly: "It's just that the political views are different. โ
"Hehe," Zhao Zhen said with a meaningful smile: "Many people still think that you are a party." โ
"The way of a gentleman is to be a group but not a party." Sima Guangzheng said: "Rรฌ has seen people's hearts for a long time, and rumors will be self-defeating!" โ
"Not bad." Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "The widow is still very relieved of you." Said with a smile: "As for Wang Jiefu, although he is bold and stubborn, he probably doesn't dare to mess with the law......
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
