Chapter 79 Sima Guang's Entrance (2)

"Sima Gong is free!" A slightly old female voice came from behind the curtain, it should be the Empress Dowager.

"Master protector, no courtesy!" It was the little official sitting on the throne who spoke.

The voice is immature, but very smooth and quiet.

Although Sima Guang couldn't see his expression, he could tell from his voice that this little official was indeed very calm.

Especially the word - teacher protection.

This is the arrangement of Emperor Daxing for him Sima Guang - he must use the works of Sima Guang and Lu Gong as his teachers and protectors.

It can be seen that this petty official respects Emperor Daxing's edict and testament very much.

All kinds of signs also showed his attitude - those few words from the palace flashed back and forth in Sima Guang's mind.

Therefore, Sima Guang held fluoren and worshiped: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor love the veterans, and the veterans have nothing to repay. They can only do their best and die!"

Then I heard the voice of the little official: "Feng Jing, give Sima Shibao a seat!"

"only!"

A chair was moved in front of Sima Guang.

Sima Guang thanked Xie En again before sitting on it.

The royal chair is still the same, cool, smooth and comfortable to sit on.

"Sima Shibao..." The junior official on the throne suddenly said: "Father, the emperor once mentioned to me that after Shibao's fourth palace official is finished, he will order Shibao to enter the court to assist the prime minister!"

When Sima Guang heard this, his eyes immediately became hot.

Emperor Daxing did have an agreement with him.

"Thirty months later, meet Qing in Bianjing!"

And the term of office of a temple official is exactly thirty months, that is, two and a half years.

Now, he came for the appointment, but the Emperor Daxing has already ascended to immortality!
This made Sima Guang a little excited.

But the petty official continued to say: "I have finally waited for the teacher to protect me today, and I will have someone to rely on for future military and state affairs!"

"I don't dare!" Sima Guang hurriedly stood up holding the fluorene: "The Emperor Daxing has high hopes, and the old minister can only repay him with death!"

The little official stopped talking, but looked at the curtain behind him.

Sima Guang also knew that it was time to go through the process.

Therefore, he bowed with fluorene: "The old minister is now receiving an imperial edict, and he will go out to know Chenzhou. In his farewell speech, there are one or two pedantic remarks, and three or five dull opinions..."

"Sima Gong, but it doesn't matter!" The Empress Dowager replied inside the curtain.

"Master, please have no taboos!" A younger female voice came from behind the curtain behind the Xiaoguan's house, which should be the Empress Dowager.

Sima Guang took a deep breath, and then walked forward with his hands in his hands. On the chaohu, he had already written in advance a rough outline of what he was going to say when he entered the palace.

"I would like to play the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty the Emperor: I wrote a letter the day before yesterday, and I have spoken widely. I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager attach great importance to the pedantic views of the old ministers. There are divisions in the three provinces under the benevolent decree, and there are divisions to discuss..."

"However, the old minister has heard that there is a secretary who has been discussing endlessly for several days, and seems to be trying to shirk..."

"The veterans are panic-stricken, begging the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the emperor to urge you to go to the state and county as soon as possible, so that the people of the world can speak directly about the pros and cons of state affairs and the affairs of the world!"

Just listening to the Empress Dowager said: "The words of the Xianggong are very good. The old man, the empress dowager, and the emperor all thought that what the Xianggong said was old enough to seek the country, so I should urge Yousi to pass it down to the prefectures and counties as soon as possible!"

The Empress Dowager also said: "The officials read the letter from Xianggong, and told Ben Gong: What Mr. Sima said was very good. Emperor Daxing once taught the officials: Those who are in power should let others speak!"

When Sima Guang heard this, he raised his head in surprise, and looked at the little official sitting on the throne.

I heard the Empress Dowager say with a little pride: "To be honest with you, a few days ago, the officials were not only good at reading, but also smart, handsome and benevolent, which is rare in the world. They can even understand a lot about military affairs and government affairs!"

"A few days ago, my palace read the letter written by Li Ding, the servant of the household department, to the officials. After reading it, the officials not only explained clearly what Li Ding said in the letter in front of me, but also knew the pros and cons of Li Ding's law of protecting horses... I brought the officials to Baoci Palace, and the empress dowager personally implemented it. It is also clear and correct!"

This surprised Sima Guang.

"Officials are benevolent, sage, and handsome, it can be said that the world is lucky, and the country is also lucky!" He immediately expressed his position.

Then, Sima Guang took the opportunity to take up the topic: "Don't dare to lie to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the old minister has heard many stories about the benevolence, sage and pure filial piety of the officials outside the palace, and also know many stories about the officials who love to read and love to read..."

"The old minister is ignorant to death..."

"The country is fortunate to have a sage, and the country is fortunate to meet an enlightened lord. We should be more cautious and choose to read and accompany the emperor so that the emperor can read and give lectures for officials..."

The Empress Dowager, who had been silent for a long time, seemed very interested in Sima Guang's proposal, so she asked, "I don't know your husband, do you have any recommendation?"

Sima Guang held fluoren to pay homage again: "This matter is of great importance, and it is beyond the knowledge of the old minister... However, the empress dowager did not hesitate to condescend to ask the old minister, and the old minister risked his life to recommend a few people for the empress dowager and the empress dowager to choose..."

"Sir, please tell me..."

Sima Guang held fluoren and said: "The minister first raises a minister..."

"Therefore, the son of Fan Wenzheng, a court official, Zhijixianyuan, and Zhihezhongfu, Fan Chunren, advocated loyalty and righteousness. He has the style of being a public.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager both nodded in appreciation when they heard this. The Empress Dowager said: "I have also heard about the ministers promoted by Xianggong. A few days ago, the officials told me that I was sitting in the palace, watching the memorials left by the Emperor Daxing, and hearing that the Minister Fan Chunren discussed the establishment of a school, I have the idea of ​​starting a school..."

Sima Guang listened, and bowed deeply again.

It was because of this legend that he recommended Fan Chunren.

Unexpectedly, what was reported in the palace was true.

The small officials actually read the memorials left by Emperor Daxing in the palace, and they understood it!
Unbelievable!

Incredible!

Sima Guang was still shocked when he thought of the legends of the child prodigies of this dynasty.

But at this time, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked the junior official: "What do you think, Brother Six, the ministers that Mr. Sima elected?"

Sima Guang raised his head slightly and looked at the little figure sitting on the throne.

Just listen to the little official's family saying: "I think it's very good!"

"I was in the Palace of Funing yesterday, looking at the book left by my father, and saw that there was a text in it that said: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"

"I read it, and I am very happy!"

"So I asked the left and right: whose writing is this?

"The left and right replied: This is why Fan Wenzheng's writing!"

"I asked again: Where is Mr. Wenzheng now? Answer: Mr. Fan Wenzheng's ancestral veteran, the pillar of the country, has unfortunately passed away, and his son Chunren is now an official in the court!"

Sima Guang listened, feeling his ears twitching.

Are the officials really looking at the manuscripts and memorials of the Daxing Emperor?
And really understand?
Sima Guang took a deep breath, finally couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and asked: "The veteran has the courage to ask His Majesty to know: worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later, what do you mean?"

The petty official replied without a pause, "I remember, it was said in the royal father's book: If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away, you will worry about your king!"

"It is also worrying to advance, and worrying to retreat!"

"Therefore, it is said: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"

Then, Sima Guang heard the little official ask: "Master Bao, did I get the answer right?"

"Officials are wise, handsome and benevolent, rare since ancient times!" Sima Guang no longer had any doubts, and worshiped: "The old minister is really for the world, and congratulations for the community!"

I heard the official's fluent, steady, and accurate answers without any stagnation.

At last he had no more doubts, no more doubts.

The petty official is indeed a precocious king that has never been seen in history books.

He could even answer his question directly with Fan Wenzheng's original text.

Sima Guang felt that this intelligence and wit were far inferior even at his age!

Therefore, this world is indeed about to usher in a wise young master who has been rare since ancient times! ?

Think about those legends in the market, and then look at the small official family in the hall now.

Sima Guang felt that the public opinion that this official was comparable to Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was probably true.

But Sima Guangxiu's knowledge of governance, of course he knows what kind of monarch Han Mingdi is?
During his reign, although he rectified the administration of officials, lightened corvees and paid less taxes, and advocated frugality, he ruled the world to be peaceful and the world lived peacefully. He is indeed a wise king!

But on the other hand, this Mingjun is famous for his strict control and severe punishment of internal and external tyrants and big households.

At the same time, during the period of Emperor Ming, the Han army attacked from all directions, constantly expanding its territory.

Dou Gu and Geng Zhong conquered the Xiongnu in the north, and Ban Chao managed the Western Regions.

Therefore, Sima Guang commented in the Zizhi Tongjian: Hengxing does other things, regardless of people's livelihood.

This is of course using the past to satirize the present, but now, Sima Guang is a little scared.

If there is a Han Ming emperor in the Song Dynasty...

Just thinking about what Emperor Ming did...

There are frequent prisons for the relatives of the clan, and the requirements for the ministers are extremely strict, and they will even check the accounts of the ministers...

The Han army under his command attacked from all directions, conquered the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Western Regions in the west, and set Ailao in the south...

Not Emperor Ming, not Emperor Ming...

Zhang Di is not bad!Zhang Di is fine!

Thinking of this, Sima Guang bowed again: "In addition to Fan Chunren, I believe that there should be Confucian officials and scholar-bureaucrats around the official family to help the sages to teach the righteous words and guide the righteous people's actions..."

"The old minister was daring to recommend Chengyi Lang Chenghao to study with the emperor..."

"Cheng Hao is upright in his studies and loyal to others. He is especially able to convey the true meaning of the sages, understand the scriptures of the sages, give lectures at his own pace, and have peaches and plums all over the world. He can be called a famous Confucian in the country and a minister of the country!"

"In addition, if you want officials to be proficient in learning, you must use famous scholars and ministers of the state to assist officials in learning!"

"The old minister is ignorant, and I dare to ask the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the Emperor Gallon to be kind to the minister, and to take responsibility for the Deputy Envoy of Ruzhou Tuanlian and Su Shi, the resettlement minister of Honzhou Island..."

"Su Shi's articles are well-known at home and abroad, and he should be the first class minister of the country. If Su Shi is assisted, the official articles will have a promising future!"

The two palaces are not very familiar with Cheng Hao recommended by Sima Guang.

But Su Shi is too familiar.

It's not just the Wutai poetry case, but also the relegation of the son-in-law Wang Shen to Yingzhou for resettlement, so it's hard for the two palaces not to pay attention.

More importantly, every article written by Su Shi after he was demoted to Huangzhou caused a sensation all over the world.

"Chibi Fu", "Former Chibi Fu", "Nian Nujiao. Chibi Nostalgia".

Even if the two palaces live in the deep palace, they have been famous for a long time, like thunder!
