Everyone in the officialdom knows that if Sima Junshi's performance is concise and clear, it is definitely fast, accurate, and ruthless, and this thing is sure to be done nine times out of ten. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If his article is stinky and long, and he talks about clouds and mountains for a long time, it means that he actually has nothing to say, just whining.

Wang Guangyuan knew that Sima Guang had no selfish motives in impeaching him this time. Although it has the meaning of "above", Sima Guang really does not like his eyes and has personal grudges with himself. Wang Guangyuan also knows the reason for this.

During the Qingli period, Wang Guangyuan dedicated the "Ming Family Collection" written by his great-grandfather Wang Ming to Emperor Renzong. Wang Ming was a famous "wise general" in the early Song Dynasty, he accompanied Taizu on an expedition to Lingnan, used clever tricks to conquer Hezhou, and pacified Guangzhou with Pan Mei. Later, when Taizu used troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wang Ming was the assassin of Huangzhou, and he planned to attack the Southern Tang general Zhu Lingyun and capture him alive, and Jinling was captured, resulting in the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty. During the Taizong Dynasty, the Khitan repeatedly harassed the border, Wang Ming came out of the Zhending Mansion, and used stratagems to divide and rebel, and the Khitan army could not succeed in attacking, so he retreated.

When Grandpa Ren saw the "Ming Family Collection" presented by Wang Guangyuan, he remembered the merits of his great-grandfather Wang Ming, and directly gave Wang Guangyuan a museum position. Wang Guangyuan gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to his younger brother, who was not as good at studying, and he himself was admitted to the Jinshi in the subsequent big exam. Grandpa Ren regarded this matter as a beautiful talk, and he was overjoyed, and immediately awarded Wang Guangyuan the title of "Dali Law Straight Official", responsible for arranging the Chinese script.

Just after the first entrance examination, he not only won the beauty difference, but also received a commendation from Renzong, and Wang Guangyuan was in the limelight for a while. It's just that in Sima Guang's view, all of this is done by a villain with ulterior motives, ill-intentioned and opportunistic.

Later, Wang Guangyuan also heard that Sima Guang was talking about himself in private, saying that he was a person who "sought to enter the body and did everything".

Wang Guangyuan smiled and thought: The eldest husband should do everything. The pursuit of the so-called gentleman is all vain things, which are not beneficial to the society of the country. Great-grandfather accompanied Taizu to the south and the north to fight, and repeatedly used strange schemes; when attacking cities and plundering land, why did no one say that he was opportunistic?

Before Wang Guangyuan took office, the monarch and the minister parted ways.

Zhao Ji is most concerned about "retreating as advance", how long will it take to retreat?

Wang Guangyuan promised "a year and a half" and explained many things to the emperor before leaving with confidence.

Of course, he didn't tell Zhao Ji everything. What Wang Guangyuan is most worried about in his heart is also "that incident" that Zhao Ji is most afraid of. Although he didn't say a word, he was also worried. I guessed in my heart that maybe the Empress Dowager really knew something, so she couldn't wait to drive herself away from the official family?

In fact, this is also the real reason why he decided to "retreat into advance".

Thinking about taking a step back first, maybe the sea and the sky will be wide.

As expected, more than a month after Wang Guangyuan left the capital, Sima Guang once again impeached Gao Jujian, the head of the Imperial Medicine Academy. When he was impeached at the beginning, Sima Guang proposed that he colluded with Gao Jujian and several other ministers, and formed a party with Sun Gu and others. I didn't think about it deeply, but now it seems that the Empress Dowager must have noticed something. She has many eyes and ears in the palace, at least she has suspected Gao Jujian and herself.

Wang Guangyuan fell into deep memories. It seemed that time had suddenly returned to the beginning of the year, and after the Spring Banquet, Yingzong suddenly fell ill and was bedridden.

Although Zhao Ji is the crown prince in name only, the situation of inheriting the throne is not clear, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager have their own selfish intentions. The intensity of this battle for the succession will never be inferior to any previous one, and it is even more cruel and ruthless.

The last change of imperial power was only four years ago. Renzong died, and it was the Empress Dowager and Han Qi who joined forces to put Yingzong on the throne. Who knew that later Yingzong made a big fuss in the Renzong Spiritual Hall, and no one pulled or persuaded him to listen, and finally cried and fainted on the spot. After that, for a long time, he not only often talked nonsense, cried and laughed abnormally, but also became very tyrannical, and when he was not satisfied, he would fist and kick the chamberlains and palace maids who were waiting on the side. There was even a time when Yingzong ordered someone to pull out the palace maid who had made a small mistake and kill her in the court. The chamberlains and palace maids were worried every day, for fear that the emperor would go crazy.

These things made Empress Dowager Cao extremely dissatisfied, because Emperor Renzong was very merciful to the people who served him closely, and there was always a group of harmony in the palace. For this reason, the contradictions between the two have intensified, even to the point of hating each other. In the end, Prime Minister Han Qi mediated it, which eased the relationship between the two. Han Qi was cunning and took the opportunity to win the trust of the Empress Dowager Cao, but in fact he wanted to find an opportunity to regain the imperial power.

This opportunity came quickly.

At a palace banquet, Han Qi took advantage of Empress Dowager Cao's drunkenness and negligence to deceive the jade seal. On the second day, Empress Dowager Cao interrogated Han Qi in the court in person, who knew that Han Qi rebelled against the first army, and withdrew the curtain in public on the Empress Dowager Cao, who had lost the jade seal, and was so frightened that the Empress Dowager Cao covered her face and hid back in the harem. Thinking about the previous Empress Dowager Liu, who had been listening to politics for more than ten years, she had only been listening to politics for less than two years before she was driven back to the harem, and she must have been very unwilling in her heart.

Therefore, Wang Guangyuan guessed that as soon as the news of Yingzong's serious illness reached the ears of Empress Dowager Cao, she couldn't sit still. After that, he made a series of actions, and Wang Guangyuan saw that the Empress Dowager Cao was moved. She can't wait to change to a new monarch immediately like she did four years ago, and then listen to the government by herself.

But at this time, at that time, the biggest force in the palace now is probably the empress Gao Tao! She colluded with Han Qi, the chief of the two dynasties, and it was really difficult to deal with. Gao Taotao was heartbroken by Yingzong's illness at that time, and she recruited famous doctors from all over the world to diagnose and treat the official family's pulse. However, her condition worsened day by day, and this situation made the prime minister force her to consider the issue of the position of the prince. Wang Guangyuan even understood what she was thinking, and her favorite candidate for the crown prince was probably Zhao Hao, the second prince who was the king of Dongyang County at the time. This once idle prince suddenly became ambitious like a dark horse that was killed. Wang Guangyuan had several opportunities to deal with this prince, but even he couldn't understand or understand the second prince. With such a strong opponent, it is no wonder that the prince is particularly jealous of him.

It's thrilling to think about what happened that night.

One thing Sima Guang said was right, Wang Guangyuan was indeed "inside" Gao Jujian! Yingzong was seriously ill, and the matter of establishing a prince became a top priority, and if he did not have his own people by his side, how could he grasp the opportunity? Gao Jujian was "in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy," and he was in charge of all the prescriptions and secret medicines in the palace. He knows Yingzong's condition most clearly, and he is "indispensable to him" around him at all times, which is simply too important.

I remember that day, in front of Yingzong's sickbed, Tianzhang Pavilion waited for Sun Sigong to retire from the rest, leaving only Liu Qi to discuss the secret matter of establishing the prince in the imperial history. Gao Jujian eavesdropped on the side and heard the two of them talk about the word "prince" on the edict prepared by Yingzong before.

Gao Jujian hurriedly left the palace late at night, personally ran to the Yingdi where the prince lived, and reported what he heard to Wang Guangyuan. He is well aware that the situation is changing rapidly, and now that he has prepared an edict, it means that the crown prince who dominates the East Palace still has the upper hand.

It must be preemptive!

That night, Gao Jujian found that Yingzong was in critical condition, so he left the palace again and summoned the second mansion.

Queen Gao Taotao was slightly ill due to overwork at that time, and she had already fallen asleep, when she suddenly heard the news that a chamberlain had left the palace late at night, and her intuition was not good, and she immediately got up from the sickbed. When she ran to Yingzong's dormitory, she found that the people from the second mansion were already standing outside the palace. She was furious, entered the hall, and asked the people present, "Who ordered the summoning of the second mansion?"

Gao Jujian has been in the palace for many years, and was deterred by Queen Gao's prestige, and he didn't know if the prince had a chance of winning the succession, so he was afraid that he would not get any benefits and lose his life first. When Empress Gao's eyes stared at him, Gao Jujian trembled and confided the truth, saying that it was "the crown prince ordered to summon him." Empress Gao immediately asked people to search the inner hall of Yingzong's dormitory, and sure enough, she found a yellow robe with the size of the prince in a hidden place (1). Gao Jujian, a waste, was so frightened that he fell to his knees at that time.

When he learned of this, the crown prince was waiting outside the palace with the ministers of the east and west prefectures, while Wang Guangyuan was hiding in the side hall. Seeing that things were in danger, he was also anxious. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, that Queen Gao suddenly fainted, and the palace suddenly fell into chaos, although Han Qi rushed into the palace, but Queen Gao remained unconscious, and several ministers who supported the eldest son and heir pressed and asked about the edict. Although the forces of Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Gao were actively planning, they failed to control the situation that night in a hurry, let alone tamper with the new edict, the general trend was the same, and Han Qi had to act according to the old edict.

Success or defeat is often in an instant, and it is himself who achieves this thing, and every time he thinks about it, Wang Guangyuan feels excited.

Wang Guangyuan retracted his thoughts, looked at the young and ambitious new emperor in front of him, and felt in his heart that he had done his best to assist, and he was much more ambitious and ambitious than his father Emperor Yingzong, which was the qualification that an emperor should have.

Zhao Ji didn't say much when he saw Wang Guangyuan, and he knew that he was resourceful, so I was afraid that he had already guessed what this call was about.

In fact, Wang Guangyuan was still somewhat surprised, and before the end of the year, the official called him back. However, the recent major event in the capital is not that there is an unknown so-called "special envoy"?

He smiled slightly and said, "The official family summoned Weichen back, presumably something big happened?"

Zhao Ji looked sideways at Zhang Yuanxiao, who was waiting next to him, and thought: I can't let her feel that she is too narrow-minded for that Lan Yuanxiao. So he diverted the topic and said: "What Guangyuan said, where I called you into the palace, something big must happen, but I miss you very much, so I sent someone to invite you back." ”

Wang Guangyuan glanced at Zhang Ruiyuan and showed a smile.

Zhao Xuan cleared his throat and said to Li Xian and Zhang Rui: "Guangyuan is not an outsider, you don't have to wait here......"

The meaning of the words is self-evident.

Li Xian and Zhang Ruixuan bowed slightly and stepped back.

After retreating to the beams, the two turned and walked out. Li Xian took the first step, while Zhang Ruixuan deliberately dragged small steps and walked very slowly.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me.

Zhao Ji felt that the person had withdrawn, so he said, "What else can I do for? Just for that Lan Yuanxiao!"

Hearing Lan Yuanxiao's three words, Zhang Ruixuan's slow pace sped up again. At the same time, Li Xian in front of him had already turned around, wanting to see why she was so slow.

Li Xiangang wanted to urge a few sentences, but found that Zhang Ruizhen had already followed, he shook off the dust and whispered "hum", turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Wang Guangyuan said: "It turned out to be for the envoy...... Your Excellency!"

"What kind of adult is he? Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Speaking of which, this person is a mediocre person with dangerous talents. Why didn't anyone jump out and impeach him?" he snorted angrily, "It's not that I'm afraid of offending the queen mother!"

"I heard that this little blue lord is deeply favored by the Queen Mother, and at this time he is in the limelight, I'm afraid that even King Chang can't reach him, right?"

Dare to talk about King Chang like this in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that Wang Guangyuan is the only one!

Following Wang Guangyuan's words, thinking of the Queen Mother's favor to Lan Yuanxiao, the emperor frowned slightly, and there was twelve points of displeasure in his heart. Sighing, he thought to himself: The queen mother has always been very cold to people, and when her father was still alive, she often saw her smile...... Now, her father has died, and it seems that her last happiness has been taken away...... As for the royal brother, although the queen mother attaches great importance to him, she values the talent he has shown, not unlimited grace, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lan Yuanxiao poured into the queen mother, and the queen mother actually ...... Lan Yuanxiao is simply useless! No, he only has the skin to be outstanding, but it's a pity that there is always a villain's ambition on that pretty face, which makes people bored when they see it......

Wang Guangyuan interrupted the emperor's thoughts and said, "The rumor I heard is that Lan Yuanxiao did an excellent job and was named the 'Imperial City Division' by the Empress Dowager, and then he was named the 'Imperial Envoy' by the official family!

"I was in order to appease the queen mother, so I gave Lan Yuanxiao the title of a powerless, untitled, and irrelevant 'envoy'. As for the errand done well?" Zhao Ji said with a smile, "It's nothing more than going out of the palace and going to Dengzhou to announce the decree, what is outstanding or not?" He set out from the capital, and when the state capital he passed heard that he had been ordered by Yi, they all sent commissioners to receive him. This person has always been arrogant, and he even went out so ostentatious!"

"Appease, why does the official family need to appease the Queen Mother?" Wang Guangyuan said slowly, his tone light.

"This ......" After hesitating for a while, he finally replied, "I sent him out of the palace on an errand some time ago, and sent someone from the Tang Sect to follow him...... I want to do it once and for all, out of sight and out of mind!"

Wang Guangyuan said: "If Lan Yuanxiao is a clever and cunning person, he will accompany the Queen Mother day and night, and the Queen Mother will listen to and believe it, and she will be very fond of her. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with that!" (To be continued.) )
