Prime Minister

Chapter 504 Deja Vu
After entering the Zhiping period, there were fierce quarrels in the court.

The officials transferred Jia An, Sima Guang, Fan Zhen and others from the court one after another, demoted the officials who had been admonished by Taiwan, and those who had served far away. In the end, only Lu Huo, Fan Chunren, and Lu Xun were left among the officials admonished by Taiwan. There are three people in defense.

The officials believed that by doing so, the imperial examination would be a matter of course.

Finally, on the day of the first lunar month, the only three speech officials resolutely impeached Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Gai, and Ouyang Xiu who were in power.

Ouyang Xiu was listed at the first place. He was accused of being the first to open a false opinion and misquote the classics... Humans and gods have abandoned...

Han Qi is compared to Huo Guang, suppressing criticism...

As soon as this incident happened, all the courtiers criticized Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, but at this time Empress Dowager Cao suddenly wrote a letter agreeing to be called the emperor.

This incident caused an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

How could Empress Dowager Cao agree to call King Pu and her husband Huang Kao together?Our officials fought for your husband's title for a long time, but you finally betrayed us like this?

At this time, the officials put up a form saying that they did not dare to accept it, but instead expressed their refusal.

But in any case, things are about to be done.

At this time, a memorial from Lu Hui revealed the truth. It turned out that during the banquet in the palace one day, the officials and Han Qi took turns to toast the Empress Dowager Cao, so that the Empress Dowager Cao signed the edict in a daze while drunk.

After this incident, there was an uproar in the court.

The official's method is really too low, to use such a despicable method to deceive an old woman, and this person is her mother in name.

Moreover, after tricking the other party into signing the edict, he actually declined hypocritically, playing the trick of three words and three concessions... Such an operation really made people spit out the overnight meal.

After Lu Hui went to college, the play couldn't go on.

The officials could only announce that the matter of Pu Yi was suspended for the time being, but all three of Lu Hui were dismissed from office. At the same time, after learning about this from Zhao Ding and other three censors who had just returned from the Liao Kingdom, they also resigned and refused to join forces.

After this incident, none of the original Taiwan admonitions remained.

Only Sima Guangenzhun stayed in Bianjing to revise his books, and he also stayed away from the political center.

This matter also came to an end, but the controversy in the court has not yet settled.

Zhang Yue is still studying quietly in the courtyard.At this moment, Jiangning is also in the warmth of spring and flowers are blooming, and spring swallows are pecking at the mud and building a new nest.

In a courtyard, Wang Anshi, dressed in mourning, was teaching his disciples homework.

Wang Anshi was famous all over the world before Ding You in the eighth year of Jiayou. After arriving in Jiangning, countless people came to study from him, including Lu Dian, Gong Yuan, Cai Bian, Li Ding, Hou Shuxian, Zheng Xia and others. .

Although Wang Anshi's eyes are too high, but he is also based on the principle of teaching without distinction. He teaches in the Jiangning Prefecture School every month, but anyone with a scholar's reputation or above can sit in.

The homework that Wang Anshi assigned to his disciples today is "Hong Fan".

Because of their admiration for Wang Anshi's name, countless people crowded in the school to witness Wang Anshi's demeanor.

Hong Fan is an article written by Jizi, a former merchant official, about governing the country and the people to King Wu after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty. Since ancient times, great Confucians like Dong Zhongshu, Liu Xiang has commented on Hong Fan.

At this time, Wang Anshi was talking about Xiuzheng and Jiuzheng.

This is also the most important content for Hong Fan.

When Wang Anshi talked about this, he asked the students: "The things that Hong Fanzhong said about the rest of the expedition are like the rain when the time is quiet, the coldness when the plan is cold, the wind when the holy time... the five things that are said about the levy are crazy and constant. Wind, rushing and constant cold, Meng Hengfeng... What does the word Ruo mean?"

At this time, a young man among the students stood up and said, "I am telling you, if the teacher is going smoothly, conforming, and responding. For example, if the rain is mad and constant, that is, if the king does mad and constant things, it will rain in the sky." more than."

The young man named Cai Bian is Cai Jing's younger brother. He is the youngest, but he is also the one most admired by Wang Anshi's many students.

However, today Cai Bian's answer did not satisfy Wang Anshi, he shook his head and said, "This is again the theory of the induction between heaven and man, are there any other beings who can talk about it?"

Wang Anshi asked three times, but no one answered when all the students in the room answered.

At this time, Wang Anshi regretfully said: "There is not a single person in the entire Jiangning Mansion..."

At this moment, a young man sitting not far from Cai Bian said: "If this is only according to the original intention, it is the same meaning. From the perspective of madness and swing, it often rains."

Hearing this, Wang Anshi couldn't help showing joy and said, "Come closer!"

Wang Anshi saw that the other party was actually a young man, a little younger than Cai Bian, but he was surprised that such a thing could be said at such an age.

Wang Anshi said: "If you talk about it carefully, why does it mean like?"

The other party said yes and then said: "Hong Fan said that there are five things in a gentleman, just like there are five things in the sky, such as rain, light, fire, cold, and wind. Excess is not good, but less is also not good. , so the climate must adapt to the people. When the king is dignified, it is like rain, but not when the king is serious, it will rain heavily."

"If you think that changes in the sky must be caused by me doing something, don't you know that the actions of the sky are permanent, and if they don't exist for Yao, they won't perish for Jie."

Wang Anshi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, yes. However, it is my Confucian theory to warn people and monarchs to practice human affairs based on the theory of the interaction between heaven and man. Just wait until you understand."

Speaking of this, Wang Anshi looked at the other party carefully, and saw that the other party's appearance was extremely handsome, and he looked like an old friend of his.

Wang Anshi moved his mind to accept disciples, put the scroll behind his back and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

The other party said shyly: "My...my surname is Zhang Mingqiu... from Pucheng."

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Qiu's character is not good, it violates the name taboo of a saint."

Wang Anshi wanted to ask in detail, but he felt that the public was unwilling to say too much, so he didn't continue.

As for Zhang Qiu, he sat back in his seat.

At this time, two young people are listening by the window. These two young people are very handsome. If you look closely, you can see that they are both women disguised as men to listen here.

When one of them heard Wang Anshi ask Zhangqiu's name, he couldn't help asking: "Who is this young man?"

The female envoy in men's clothes said, "Miss, haven't you heard? His name is Zhang Qiu and he is from Pucheng."

The woman nodded and said, "Oh, could it be that he came to Jiangning from Sichuan to look for Senior Brother Cai? Why is he from Pucheng?"

The maid smiled and said, "I don't know about that. I heard Mr. Cai Erlang said that he studied Sichuan and Sichuan from the south of the capital, and then went to Jiangning."

"That's it, no wonder Wencai is so good, to be so appreciated by Daddy, I should have heard his name when I followed Daddy in the capital."

The maid smiled and said, "Miss, would you like me to ask Brother Cai for you...Miss, I was wrong, I was wrong, but this young man is really handsome, not only in appearance, but maybe even in talent and learning. Where's brother?"

The woman couldn't help feeling ashamed when she heard that, she was Wang Anshi's youngest daughter.

He knew that his father admired Cai Bian very much, so some people in his school joked that if Cai Bian won the Jinshi, he would betroth himself to him.

As her daughter's family, she can't help but secretly consider her life's major events. She always thinks that Cai Bian is good in all aspects, but only good.

But for some reason, even though it was the first time they met this young man named Zhang Qiu today, she felt a sense of deja vu.
