I studied in modern times

Chapter 386 Test
Peng Ruli's rejection text was immediately sent to the Qingshou Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at it and sighed.

"What can I do if I don't allow it?" she asked the Queen Mother Xiang.

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Peng Ruli's words and sighed: "Your Majesty, you have the right to criticize the matter. This is the ancestral system."

The Queen Mother naturally knew this.

And she also knew that this matter would not be passed unless Peng Ruli was settled.

The reason is simple - it would be useless to replace him with Peng Ruli.

He might be waiting for the two palaces to depose him!

Dismissal from office is a disaster for all civil servants.

Only in this matter, every civil servant other than the prime minister will strongly show their uprightness.

This is not only the teaching of the saints, but also because every time they do such a thing.

will make their reputation spread all over the world.

It will also make them sympathize with the people of the world.

Back then, Renmiao wanted to depose Queen Guo, but it was difficult to convince the prime minister, led by Lu Yijian.

However, Fan Zhongyan led the entire Yushitai to kneel outside the east corner of Funing Hall, and Qiren Temple was not abandoned.

This incident is still praised by people all over the world as an act of integrity.

All participants have been plated with gold since then.

Therefore, because this is to remove Peng Ruli from his official position, it is not a punishment at all, but a great reward for him.

Since he cannot be dismissed from office, he cannot be replaced either.

This means that it is unthinkable to save yourself from this matter.

Without civil servants, this edict would have left the provincial government offices.

In fact, after Peng Ruli made such a fuss, Zhongshu Province would definitely not be willing to draft any more imperial edicts.

"This is such a big deal!" The Empress Dowager shook her head and asked, "Instead of going to Zhongshu's sect, how about going directly to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple?"

Xiang Queen Mother shook her head: "Dali Temple Minister Wang Xiaoxian will definitely not agree."

Wang Xiaoxian, you don't even need to look at his resume, just look at his name to know that even if you kill him, you won't do such a thing that goes against your conscience.

"What should we do?" The Queen Mother began to worry.

She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, can you please ask the officials to talk to everyone about this?"

She already knew that the edict was able to get out of Zhongshu Province because the officials personally summoned Zhongshu Sheren Xingshu.

Queen Mother Xiang was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when Sixth Brother summoned Zhongshu Sheren Xingshu in the morning and ordered him to draft the edict.

Xing Shu could not afford to pay homage at first, saying that he did not dare to issue an imperial edict.

In the end, it was Sixth Brother who said with the dignity of the emperor: "Please Xing Shu sacrifices his life and prepare it for me." Xing Shu cried and wrote the draft of the edict.

The scene of Xing Shu in the Funing Hall, crying and writing edicts, lingered in front of Empress Dowager Xiang's eyes.

The Queen Mother suddenly felt guilty, feeling as if she had hurt an upright and upright minister.

Thinking about this, she shook her head: "I'm afraid not."

She has already made Xing Shu cry, how can she make other gentlemen cry again?
Besides, for Zhang Ji, I had to work hard for Brother Six, going to the ministers again and again to beg for help.

Isn't that too flattering?
Therefore, Queen Mother Xiang did not want or want her son to lose face and intercede with civil servants for this matter.

The Empress Dowager said: "This has set a precedent, but I don't know how it will end in the future."

He said to the Queen Mother: "My dear, my sixth brother is kind and generous. He is not like Zhang Ji and would not bear such a heavy responsibility."

"Why don't I know this?" The Empress Dowager sighed: "Who can know about our descendants?"

This is what worries her.

It is common for everyone to see that the descendants of foreign relatives are mixed, good and bad.

Today, one Zhang Ji can drag the whole family together to lose all the grace of their ancestors, return to their original shape, or even fall directly to the bottom of the bottom.

In the future, if the Gao family has an unworthy descendant, the whole family will suffer.

What should I do?

He bowed his head to the Queen Mother and remained silent.

In fact, she was right - by that time, she would have gone to Yongyu Mausoleum to accompany the late emperor.

Besides, according to the system of the Song Dynasty, the family of a relative who had given birth to a queen was separate from other families.

When encountering similar things, we always have to remember the kindness of our ancestors. …

Just when the two palaces of Qingshou Palace were worrying about how to deal with this matter.

Zhao Xu was sleeping in Funing Hall, listening to Shi Deyi's report on public opinion.

The current Detective Department has become unprecedentedly powerful.

Because, the Detective Department received the blessing of "Bianjing News".

There are money, people, and spies all over Bianjing.

Unless others are whispering behind closed doors, public discussions and discussions cannot escape the eyes of the Detective Department.

"Guo Xianqing, the Prince-in-law, was sent to the Imperial Academy today by the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom."

"So fast?" Zhao Xu smiled: "I haven't even chosen a great scholar for my prince-in-law yet!"

Shi Deyi lowered his head.

Guo Xianqing dares to be unhappy?
Zhang Ji is about to be hunted down and have his writings destroyed since his birth, and he is also going to be assassinated on Salmon Island.

If he hadn't been smarter, he would have taken the initiative to move closer and show his respect.

Then he really won't last long as a consort.

"Where are the other nobles?" Zhao Xu asked, "How did they react?"

Shi Deyi lowered his head and replied: "They are all busy raising and paying back money."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded. He looked at Shi Deyi and asked, "Has no one ever complained?"

Shi De felt a chill on his neck and quickly replied: "The Detective Department has not heard anything yet..."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He knew these nobles of the Song Dynasty very well.

As long as their vital interests are not touched, they will choose to sing and dance to promote peace, and they will not easily, let alone dare to play against the emperor.

The opposition to Xining's reform was so loud and numerous.

Just because they touched their cake.

But they didn't dare to oppose it openly, so they could only make trouble in secret.

Now I am even more afraid.

Zhao Xu thought for a while, knocked on the table, and told Shi Deyi: "You know, go and check and see which families' wives entered the palace and asked for mercy from the two palaces today?"

"Then just tell me the list."

This matter can be regarded as an obedience test for Zhao Xu.

Those who say nothing may not be willing to follow him as the emperor.

However, those who entered the palace in the first place must have their own ideas in their hearts and did not have much respect for him as the emperor.

Zhao Xu's actions were like scouring the sand, washing out those who were too thoughtful and not loyal enough.

After such step-by-step sifting, the ones left must be the kind of people who don't have many ideas, only loyal people.

With these people, there will be a direction for employing and entrusting people in the future.

After all, many of the things that Zhao Xu will do in the future will require the kind of nobles who are willing to immerse themselves in following him, regardless of the reasons or reasons.

And those things don’t require much ability, knowledge, or skill.

All that is needed is loyalty.

"No!" Shi De took the order and left.

Zhao Xu leaned on the mattress, holding his cheek, thinking of other things.

He was thinking about Xihe Road and wondered what was happening to the cotton fields in Xihe now.

He was also thinking about Guangxi, wondering where Zhang Dun was now?Where is Di Yong's army?

He was still thinking about the Liao people, and he didn't quite know where the goods bought by the Liao people were shipped to.

He also thought about the Dangxiang people and the Tubo people.

In his previous life, at this time, the Dangxiang and Tubo people should have colluded together and prepared to invade Xihe Road.

Now, because Bingchang and the Empress Dowager Daliang passed away at the same time, I wonder if there will be any changes in this matter?
Thinking of these things, Zhao Xu whispered: "The national situation is difficult!"

"I also have to use some means to piece together an interest group as soon as possible that can follow me and charge forward!"
