I studied in modern times

Chapter 80 Conflict
Zhao Xu sat on the throne, listening to Sima Guang's eloquent talk.

Some things from the previous life came to his mind.

Cheng Hao probably won't be able to come to Bianjing.

Because he is going to die soon, his younger brother Cheng Yi will replace Cheng Hao.

What impressed Zhao Xu most about Cheng Yi was that Zhao Xu counted ants in the garden by himself.

This matter was known by Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yi came to him and said: "The official family is benevolent, and the insects and ants are not hurt. If it can be used for state affairs, the world will be lucky!"

Zhao Xu looked at Cheng Yi:? ? ? ?

I count ants alone, how do you know?
It was also at that time that Zhao Xu realized that his every move was being watched.

So, he became more and more taciturn.

As for Fan Chunren and Su Shi?

Zhao Xu remembered that after he took office, he and Zhang Dun threw them all to Lingnan to eat lychees.

Looking back now, Fan Chunren and Su Shi are actually quite interesting.

Especially Su Shi, Zhao Xu's deepest impression on him is that Su Shi often quietly pulled Zhao Xu's sleeve, and then told him in private how the Tang Dynasty emperor killed ministers.

The vivid and vivid words made Zhao Xu wonder: Are you here to test me?
When Zhao Xu wakes up in modern times, he will find out after reading the historical materials.

Su Shi was not testing him.

This is him!

This is what Su Shi and Su Zizhan did!
And Fan Chunren?

To be honest, among the officials of Yuanyou, apart from Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren was the one who resembled the New Party the most.

Moreover, according to Zhao Xu's research and materials in modern times, Fan Chunren has been trying to make peace with the differences between you and the new party and the old party in the last years of Yuanyou.

However, it was too late to come back and muddy at that time.

The hands of the ministers of the old party are already stained with the blood of the ministers of the new party!

Cai Que was demoted to death, Deng Wan was demoted to death, and Zhang Dun almost died too.

Numerous new party ministers were hit and tortured in the Yuanyou era.

From the perspective of the new party, the old party has already torn its face, so there is no need to be polite to them, and it is not necessary to show them dignity.

At that time, Zhao Xu was not mature enough, nor stable enough.

Dazzled by hatred, and terrified by what he saw and heard in the Yuanyou era.

Therefore, all the old parties were slaughtered.

Except for a few ministers whom Zhao Xu had a good impression of, the rest of Yuanyou's former ministers, almost all of them went to Lingnan with a deprivation treatment.

For a while, the Road of Thorns in Lingnan was very lively.

However, in hindsight, although it was impulsive, it made the party struggle further intensified.

But in the short term, it unifies the will of the top and bottom.

Make the ruling and opposition parties up and down, avoid those unnecessary disputes and arguments.

So he was able to make all-out reforms and use his troops in the Northwest with all his strength, and achieved good results.

To be honest, if Zhao Xufan lived a few more years, Xixia would be wiped out.

Maybe there will be no such things after that.

This is how the world is.

Heroes are judged by success or failure, and only the victor deserves to be praised.

The loser is naturally a clown.

……

Zhao Xu is thinking wildly here, the two palaces in the curtain have already completed the communication.

The Empress Dowager said: "The ministers selected by the Xianggong are very good for the old man and the empress dowager, so let's use the ministers selected by the Xianggong!"

"Old minister, I'm sincerely afraid, and thank you again!" Sima Guang held fluoren and worshiped.

Recommending a minister is not only a state matter, but also a temptation by Sima Guang. Let's see the attitude and trust of the two palaces towards him.

Now it seems that it should be good.

This encouraged Sima Guang, and finally gave him the confidence to say that.

Standing up holding the fluorene, Sima Guang took a deep breath, then looked at the writing on the chao wat, finally made up his mind, and said: "Besides, the old minister has another stupid thing to say, I would like to offer it to the Empress Dowager!"

The empress dowager was in a good mood at this time, so she said: "It's okay to say something, sir!"

Sima Guangzhi fluoren said: "Old ministers have heard that recently, the official censor, Wang Yu, the left prime minister, has repeatedly committed illegal things, disrupted the country's laws and regulations, and corrupted the ancestral system. Killing the prime minister..."

"The old minister is terrified, and I would like to play the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor..."

"Since our ancestors, we have treated ministers kindly and treated Confucian ministers kindly. Since the Temple of Ren, the country has not severely punished ministers for their crimes for six or seventy years!"

"In the past, Chen Shiru was a rebellious person who indulged his wife and murdered his mother. The Emperor Daxing wanted to pardon him for his death crime by saying, 'Chen Shiru is the only son of the former ruler.

"Chen Shiru is not yet a Zai Zhi, but the son of a Zai Zhi, who committed a heinous and unforgivable crime. The Emperor Daxing still misses the favor and wants to pardon him..."

"Not to mention the real prime minister?"

Sima Guang's words made the atmosphere inside the curtain immediately begin to drop.

Stripping Ma Wanggui, this is the obsession of the Empress Dowager!

Because, she was afraid, afraid that if Wang Gui could not be brought to justice.

Once the sixth brother grows up, he thinks of this matter, and plans to investigate and find out something.

Then her posthumous fame, the wealth of the Gao family, and the future of King Yong are all over!
Besides, the Empress Dowager didn't think there was anything wrong with stripping the hemp king!

The officials at Yushitai were full of bullets, and everyone was saying that Wang Gui was guilty, a serious crime.

The crimes listed, the crimes listed, range from corrupting the law, using power for personal gain, embezzlement and accepting bribes, to colluding with Liao envoys, and criticizing the emperor's father, and so on.

But these elders and ministers not only did not understand her suffering, but also did not go to see the impeachment of Yushitai's officials.

There was Sun Gu in the past, and Sima Guang now, and they all came to her to say good things to Wang Gui!

This made the Empress Dowager really uncomfortable!

But Sima Guang didn't care about that.

Not to mention that he couldn't see the face of the Empress Dowager inside the curtain.

Even if he saw it, he still had to say it.

Therefore, he held fluoren and said: "The old minister is dull, and I am ignorant of death. I would like to play the Empress Dowager: the ancestral system, the kindness of the scholar-officials, is to use the scholar-bureaucrats as the pillars of the society, entrusting the army to the country and the country!"

"Therefore, the ancestors did not sin against Zai Zhi, nor did they kill scholar-bureaucrats!"

"This is the good governance of governing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats!"

"I also hope that the Empress Dowager will deeply understand the deep meaning of the ancestors, show a compassionate heart, and pardon Wang Gui's crimes as appropriate, so as to reassure the hearts of scholars and bureaucrats in the world!"

This is a fact.

Stripping the king of hemp is a small matter, but a deep crime against the prime minister is a major matter.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she finally couldn't help but snorted.

"The old man can't even cure Wang Gui's crime?"

"Punishing a mere Wang Gui, will the world's scholar-bureaucrats be disappointed?"

Sima Guang held fluoren and bowed again: "Don't dare!"

"But what the old minister said is true!"

Zhao Xu watched from the side, only regretting that he didn't have a watermelon at hand.

Sima Niu and the empress dowager stood up.

He really looked forward to the outcome of both sides.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu's desire to watch a movie and eat melons couldn't last for a few seconds after all.

Behind him, came a whisper to the Queen Mother: "Sixth brother, go and persuade the empress!"

Of course the queen mother knew, what was the queen worrying about?
The trouble should end it.

Only Sixth Brother can keep Wang Gui's face!
