"Officials can't! Sima Xianggong is gentle, humble, upright, loyal to the king, and has always adhered to the duty of a courtier. Seeing this, Su Zhe hurriedly persuaded him.

Although he did not object to posthumously conferring the title of Wang Anshi, the deceased was the greatest, and it was too much to cut off Sima Guang's gift and destroy the monument given at the beginning.

"'Zhongqing Pure Virtue' is a monument given by the official family to Lord Sima in person, and now it is going to be destroyed again, wouldn't it be unjust to put it in the injustice of Your Majesty." Su Shi also came out to object.

Zhao Xu suddenly fell into a tangle, Sima Guang was a model of morality in the Great Song Dynasty, if he wanted to cut off Sima Guang's gift, I am afraid it would not be an easy thing.

Zhang Dian sneered: "Sima Guang bullied the official family when he was young, ignored the official family in everything, and acted arbitrarily, and the official family gave the monument back then I am afraid that it was not the original intention of the official family. ”

"No jokes! The official family is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, even if he is young, he is also a golden mouth. Yang Wei said solemnly.

Cai Bian sneered: "Ninety-five? At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Gao hung the curtain to listen to the government, and the official family was just a marionette! ”

Zhao Xu's face suddenly sank, and he thought of the court, he could only see the past of the back and buttocks of the ministers, and the origin of the officials' disregard for Zhao Xu started with Sima Guang.

"The deceased is the greatest, and Sima Xianggong is not at fault! And how can it be liquidated after death? Lu Dafang said resolutely.

All of a sudden.

Above the court, it has changed from a dispute over nicknames to a reckoning between the old and new parties.

Until the next dynasty, the old and new parties were still quarrelling.

Lake Royal!

Zhao Xu ran hard around the Royal Lake, and now it is a frequent way to vent pressure.

"Sima Guang!"

Zhao Xu sweated like rain, gritted his teeth and said, once the Divine Sect's painstaking management of sixteen years of changes, Sima Guang once abolished, if not, after he became in power, how could he face such a passive situation.

However, Sima Guang was the moral code of the Great Song Dynasty, and countless people advertised him as a role model, a person who was almost morally perfect.

Sima Guang became famous as a young man, Sima Guang smashed the cylinder is known to the world, when he was young, Sima Guang was a scholar and the first, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

So far, Sima Guang has gone through four dynasties, and the official has become the prime minister, but he has been an official all his life, honest and honest, and he has not even bought a house in Kaifeng City in his life.

In terms of private life, Sima Guang is a moral model, he and his wife have no children, but Sima Guang insisted on not taking concubines, and finally only adopted his brother's son as an adopted son.

As an official, he is a good old man, and he often excuses others! Even on himself, the official reputation is excellent.

However, such a perfect loyal official, Zhao Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth, but he was helpless.

"Officials think twice, don't make decisions on impulse, this will often be worse." Fan Zheng persuaded on the side.

"Is there really such a perfect person in this world?"

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

Fan Zheng didn't answer and asked: "Of course, there is no perfect person in this world, just like cold forging armor, the defense is supreme, but it is extremely heavy. Cotton is light, and its defense is reduced. Sima Guang is naturally not a perfect person, and he has four crimes. ”

"Oh!" Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, the perfect moral model in the mouth of the old party actually had four major sins in Fan Zheng's mouth.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The first crime is to change the mother to the son." When the first emperor died, Sima Guang, in order to abolish the new law, actually borrowed the name of the empress dowager, changed the mother to the son, and reversed the secular world of women and husbands and mothers and children. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, Sima Guang seemed to make sense in the name of changing mother to child, but in fact, it couldn't stand scrutiny.

"Sima Guangqi's second crime: small benevolence and great unkindness!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"What is Xiaoren? What is great injustice? Zhao Xu asked.

Fan Zheng asked: "Sima Guang is an upright official, and he has indeed achieved benevolence, but this kind of benevolence can only be called small benevolence, and any change in the law will damage the interests of some people, Sima Guang is a person who immediately follows the opposition as long as he sees the people coaxing, he protects the interests of this part of the people in front of him, but he does not know that the silent people are the majority, Sima Guang abolished the new law, and disregarded the safety of the country and the interests of the majority of silent people, which is "great inhumanity".

"Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth!" Zhao Xu's heart moved, and he immediately understood where his awkwardness about Sima Guang came from.

"That's right." Fan Zheng nodded.

"The third sin is the dedication of land in Western Xia. At the time of the first emperor, although there were victories and defeats in the Western Xia conquest, the Great Song Dynasty had a big family after all, and the Western Xia had a shallow heritage, and the Great Song Dynasty had almost dried up the oil consumed by the Western Xia. After Sima Guang came to power, he took the initiative to donate rice and fat four villages, and at the same time restored the field and the New Year's coin, so that the Western Xia could be brought back to life and bury the good situation of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Xu's face was embarrassed, since he succeeded to the throne, the Western Xia attacked the Great Song Dynasty one after another, plus the Great Song Dynasty used rice fat four villages, and the New Year's coin, not only did not exchange for peace, but also made the Western Xia even worse, Sima Guang has an unshirkable responsibility.

"What about the fourth sin?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Ayun case!"

Fan Zheng said with a hint of reluctance on his face.

"Ayun's case?" Zhao Xu's face suddenly became solemn.

The case of Ah Yun is the most influential case of the Great Song Dynasty, Ah Yun is a young girl who is still in mourning, and is sold by her greedy uncle to a forty-year-old bachelor.

Ah Yun was unwilling to accept such a fate, on a dark and windy night, Ah Yun trembled and touched a kitchen knife to the head of Wei Ah Da's bed, for the rest of his life, Ah Yun picked up the knife and slashed indiscriminately.

In a panic, Ah Yun only cut off one of Wei Ah Da's fingers, and the others were skin injuries, but Ah Yun was sentenced to death for the crime of murdering his husband and according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

Everyone sympathized with Ah Yun's suffering, Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong both wanted to pardon Ah Yun's capital crime, Sima Guang strongly opposed, but Song Shenzong finally exempted Ah Yun from the death penalty, changed to imprisonment and exile, and during Ah Yun's sentence, he met the imperial court's amnesty and returned, and finally married and had children, living a peaceful life.

It stands to reason that this is already the most perfect ending, taking into account both legal and reasonable, but Sima Guang has kept this matter in mind for 16 years, and the first thing he did when he came to power was to retry the case and re-sentence Ayun, who was married and had children, to be hanged to death.

"Not to mention, Sima Guang's sixteenth year of retribution, on the surface, he only killed one Ayun, but in fact, he killed countless Ayun, making women all over the world suffer from blind marriage." Fan Zheng said sadly.

Such a stubborn and pedantic Sima Guang turned out to be a model in the hearts of scholars, which made Fan Zheng feel extremely incredible.

"Small benevolence, but big indifference!" Zhao Xu said softly.

At this moment, he really understood what it meant to be small and unkind, and the image of benevolence and righteousness created by Sima Guang disappeared in his heart.
