Since Wang Shuwen left, Wei Zongren, under the intervention of his father-in-law Du Huangsheng, has gradually slackened, and the New Party has almost collapsed.

In June, the ministers united to attack the reform party.

In July, Wang Ling thought that although Wang Shuwen was worried about Ding, but the new policy is conducive to the community, and he should not give up halfway, even if he gave up his small family and abolished Ding worries for the people of the world, it was also understandable, and he wanted to join forces with Wei Zongren and others to request that Wang Shuwen be recalled and used as the prime minister.

However, Wei Zongren thought that Wang Shuwen had already left his post and returned home, and filial piety was the first priority, and the matter was too big to set a precedent and refused to cooperate. For this reason, the reform party was divided into two factions and began to split.

Later, the differences of opinion were no longer just focused on whether Wang Shuwen should hold a funeral at the appointed time, and Wei Zongren's faction began to question some of the ideas and actions of the reform party.

Wang Ling had no choice but to go to the table alone and ask for Wang Shuwen to be reinstated. The crown prince Li Chun is not satisfied with the worries of Wang Shuwen Ding, and he is not allowed. Wang Ling sighed, and since then, he said that he was sick and no longer went to court.

On July 28, the crown prince Li Chun issued an edict on behalf of the saint and appointed Du Huangshang as the prime minister.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, the Holy Decree said:

"But the emperor ordered the martyr ancestor, born to receive the Fang country, the nine saints and the prince, the ten thousand sides of the Xianxiu, wantonly to one person, praised the industry, strictly guarded the position, and did not leave it easy. And when the heavens descend and the sickness is clear, how can they worship the spirit of the temple and show the gift of the suburbs? Consult Shu Yin, to Yue Shangxuan, ashamed of my heart, afraid of the destiny of heaven, dreaming of the night, but with eternal pictures. Ten thousand opportunities a day, not for a long time; The generation of heavenly workers cannot be lost for a long time. The crown prince is gentle, gentle, generous and benevolent, filial piety, and sincerity. Through the gods, grid up and down. It is to use the way of pushing the emperor to the public, obeying the system of the return of the father and son, paying the heavy weapon, and soothing the people, who will be able to announce the heavy light of the ancestors, the resignation of the heaven and the earth, and if the constitution is completed, the Quartet will be forever sui. It is advisable to make the crown prince the emperor, I am called the emperor, live in Xingqing Palace, and make the edict. The priest chooses a day to perform the canonization ceremony. ”

Since he ascended the throne, the dragon body has always been unsafe, unable to officially deal with the government of the court, the prince Li Chunxian filial piety and benevolence, so Chan is located in the prince, self-proclaimed emperor, moved to Xingqing Palace.

This majestic Daming Palace, finally on this day, is his.

On the day before the enthronement ceremony, Li Chunsu stayed in the Cheng'en Palace.

It was late at night, the lamp was still lit in the dormitory, the tea on the stove was cold and hot, hot and cold, and the fragrance of tea lingered for a long time.

Li Chun put down the teacup, pushed open the window, and a gust of night breeze blew in, and there was a little cold rain.

The cool breeze blew on Nian Yun's face, she looked up at his back, his black hair was scattered, and it was blown by the night wind, and there were some crystal droplets on his hair.

They had been married for several years.

He went from a handsome young man to a cold and tough His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court, and then to His Majesty.

She has changed from an ignorant and young Jiangnan girl to the eldest daughter of the Guo family, the hostess of the East Palace, and a woman full of worries.

She stood up and took a light shirt and draped it over his shoulders.

He took her hand on his shoulder and pulled her to stand in front of the window. Another night breeze blew, and his hair, hers, became entangled in one place.

Their lives are entangled in this way.

From not loving, to loving, to supporting each other, and maybe suspicious of each other, I don't know what will happen in the future, but after all, there are still many veins of warmth, which has become a habit. Nian Yun had no doubt that if one day they were to compete with each other and be hostile to each other, they might still be able to enjoy the flowers and the moon together very naturally, and brush off the falling Ying on each other's shoulders.

He looked at the fading lights in the distance, his eyes empty and distant.

She just looked at him, at his sharpening sword eyebrows, at his thin lips tightly pursed, and at the pale blue under his eyes and the rough stubble on his chin brought by the long-awaited nights of sleep.

After watching it like this for a long time, he realized that she was looking at him, and he was dumbfounded, and smiled slightly, "You should clean up, Ming'er, and move to Daming Palace." ”

Nian Yun bumped into his gaze, but he didn't dodge, but only said softly: "There are fennel pothos, they must be appropriate." ”

He shook her hand, "Just do that." ”

Nian Yun also smiled slightly, looked out the window where he was looking, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to make me the queen." ”

He was just thinking about it. Since the palace change half a year ago, the Guo family has made great efforts, and now it has helped him ascend the throne, and the Guo family has made great contributions.

Guo Xi is gone, but his Duke of Zhao is hereditary, so the Guo family has two dukes. Among Guo's sons and nephews, in addition to her eldest brother Guo Zhu and third brother Guo Jun, there are also quite a few decent, civil and military officials. With the two princesses of Shengping and Chang'er, as well as the prestige of Ziyi Gong in the past, if there is another queen, the momentum of the Guo family at this time is a little too big.

But Nianyun is that he has married him since he was the king of the county, and he has been Zhang Luo for the East Palace for many years, and he has a son-in-law, if he doesn't make her the queen, it will always be a little unreasonable.

He was a little embarrassed by her peeping through his thoughts, but she continued: "Your Majesty don't worry, my brother will resign for me tomorrow." ”

He gently pulled her into his arms, "Don't worry, in the end, you will be the first person in the harem." ”

He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all. It was she who proposed it, then, she understands everything.

She paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the East Palace or the Daming Palace, if someone wants to harm me or my child, whether it is for Your Majesty to give birth to a child or a person on the tip of Your Majesty's heart, I will not let it go." ”

He immediately understood that she already knew that he had ordered someone to inquire about Hui Niang. About she also had such an idea in her heart, each of them took a step back, she didn't want to be the queen, and he didn't want to pursue Hui Niang's affairs anymore, after all, it was true that Hui Niang harmed her first, and it was true that he disposed of Hui Niang.

Counting and fearing each other like this, he felt a little faintly unhappy in his heart, but he had nothing to say. Just because he is already the emperor of this world, he is a lonely man on the top.

He didn't continue, but changed the topic and asked, "Zihou and them, I'm afraid they're leaving Beijing, do you want to send them off?" ”

She remembered the young man who bought the tortoiseshell comb for her, the talented man who tasted wine with her and pointed out the country, they used to be confidants, and it was she who tried to lead him into the East Palace and the imperial court.

However, the subsequent paths were all chosen by himself, and her path was also chosen by himself. She is no longer a county lady who can often go out to shop and play, she wants to be a harem woman in Daming Palace, how can she still sympathize with the officials in the court outside? Li Chun is afraid that he said this on purpose?

Nian Yun bit his lip and shook his head slowly, "No, I left my heart a long time ago, and they were all taken away by Mr. Wang." ”

The crown prince Li Chun ascended the throne in Hanyuan Palace, and changed the year name to Yongzhen, which was the first year of Yongzhen.

The next day, the former crown princess Guo was canonized as a noble concubine and given to live in the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace.

Wang Shuwen was demoted as the Sihu of Yuzhou, Wang Ling was demoted as Sima of Kaizhou, and Liu Zihou and other seven people were also demoted at the same time. This group of talented scholars, the brightest careers are buried here.

Liu Zihou was first demoted to Shaozhou Thorn History, and later moved to Yongzhou Sima. During his long ten years in Yongzhou, he devoted himself to academics, made friends with local scholars and literati, and wrote many famous articles that have been passed down through the ages.

All his talents have remained in the history of literature, and he is famous for his "Eight Records of Yongzhou", and has been handed down to the world with "Liuhe East Collection", and is respected as one of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties".

After leaving Yongzhou, he was recalled to Chang'an, but for various reasons, he still failed to be reused. In the fourteenth year of Yuanhe, Li Chun finally decided to summon him back to Chang'an, where he was haunted by his dreams, but unfortunately, he died of illness in Liuzhou before he set off.

Liu Zihou, Liu Yuxi and others were far away from Vanity Fair because they were degraded, and they became famous all over the world because they wrote countless popular poems and essays in office, and were known as "Liu Liu", and were respected by literary scholars in all dynasties.

Although Wei Zongren was not demoted at that time because of his father-in-law Du Huangsheng, he also lost his original power. is in the phase, but often does not feel at ease, so that the breath is dying, and the panic cannot be kept all day.

Finally in November of the first year of Yongzhen, a holy decree came down and demoted Wei Zongren as Sima of Yazhou. Poor Wei Zongren, who fell from the pinnacle of power, still had to succumb to fate, leave Chang'an, and go to Lingnan, which he hated the most in his life.

People are always so strange, when you have to face your worst fears, you will inexplicably calm down.

After leaving Chang'an, Wei Zongren had been hiding in the carriage for several days, refusing to look outside. Until one day, Mrs. Du Shi took advantage of his unpreparedness to open the curtain of the car, and the sun shone into the car, and he suddenly found that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was so beautiful and the climate was pleasant.

When he arrived in Yazhou, he happened to meet a magistrate who was "still a nobleman", treated him well, appreciated him, and entrusted him with important tasks. Without the intrigue and power struggle in Chang'an, Wei Zongren's ingenuity and talent were properly brought into play in Yazhou.

He built water conservancy, so that the residents of Yazhou Linhai were exempted from the impact of tides and floods, and built the Yanpitang water conservancy in Zhengdu, which benefited the future; He taught the local residents to cultivate farmland and raise livestock, so that the local people would have rice to eat, no longer "rely on the sea to eat the sea", would not have no clothes to cover their bodies, and would not have to venture out to the sea to forage for food in extremely bad weather; He asked Mrs. Du to personally teach the people of Yazhou to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and teach them to weave cloth and make clothes, so that the local people no longer have to spend high prices to buy clothes from other places, so that a large number of poor people have clothes to wear, and they will no longer have clothes to cover; He was originally a Jinshi, and brought a lot of books from Chang'an to Yazhou to encourage the establishment of schools, cultivate talents, and spread the culture of the Central Plains.

Wei Zongren because of his dedication to the benefit of the people in Yazhou, the local people loved him very much, and built an ancestral hall for him.

Many years later, that vigorous coup d'état was finally overshadowed by the thick years, and the innovation advocated by Wang Shuwen and others was known in history as the "Yongzhen Reform".

People remember the ten officials who completely lost their careers because of the implementation of the new policy, and call the outcome of that reform the "Two Kings and Eight Sima Incidents". Many of them, although they have almost retired from the political arena, have been forever written in the history books.
