Chapter 1,718 Self-Deprecation

The cause of this incident was that the censor Huang Qingji issued a final memorial before he was demoted:

"It is said that after being an official and in power, one has gained a lot of wealth and honor, but one still does not uphold public loyalty and invokes the party's support. Without any other reason, he only wants to gain power and favor others.

After being immersed in it for a long time, I am afraid that it will not only be favored by power, but your Majesty, don't you think about it deeply?

The day before yesterday, His Majesty deposed Cheng Yi, Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou, Zhu Guangting, Sun Sheng and Han Chuan, and then Luoshuo and the two parties declined slightly.

However, although the two parties declined, the Sichuan Party regained its strength.

I heard that during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Sengru, Li Zongmin, and Yang Yuqing's followers formed cliques and brought chaos to the world.

Wen Zong was excited when he came to court, but he couldn't leave in the end. Could it be that he had become deceitful enough to deceive his master?

If you ask the ministers who are close to you, they will be able to confuse the saints and listen to them.

The ministers are ready to express their responsibilities, and they are willing to be loyal and loyal, so they are not afraid of the anger of the public and do their best to speak out. For example, I hope that the ministers will abide by justice, and the ministers will follow the principles of justice, the names and weapons will not be faked by others, and the power and blessings will not be transferred to those below, and then to rule.

You can look forward to it.”

This round of impeachment was completely inexplicable in Dasu's eyes. He couldn't figure it out after much thought, and finally defined it as his bad horoscope.

In order not to implicate his younger brother who had a stable career and his respected uncle Yao Yao, Da Su decided to leave the court and no longer serve as a "lead" to attack their political opponents.

Zhao Xu likes Da Su's character very much, and has no doubt about his loyalty. And to be honest, Da Su's Minister of Rites is very qualified. There have been many major events related to the Ministry of Rites in recent years, and Da Su's cooking is flawless.

.

Zhao Xu still had no expression on his face. He only forwarded Huang Qingji's bullets and Da Su's resignation memorial to his ministers for discussion, and then returned to the harem without hesitation.

Back at the villa, Zhao Xu rushed into the kitchen, kicked the cook out, and started cooking by himself.

After Queen Meng came back, she saw Zhao Xu's appearance. She leaned against the kitchen door and said with a smile: "But the courtiers made the officials angry again?"

Zhao Xu said: "The Empress Dowager has not thought about eating recently. I remember that Situ once made me a rice porridge when I was young. It was appetizing."

Empress Meng said: "Although the official family is filial, the Queen Mother should have consulted the opinions of the imperial doctors on her diet and should not be arbitrary."

"Rice porridge may be suitable for children, but whether it is suitable for the elderly depends on the doctor."

Zhao Xu was a little disappointed and finally stopped the operation: "That's right..."

After saying that, he put out the fire and came over to help Queen Meng sit down in the hall: "Sister, you are heavy, sit down and talk. Do you want some water?"

Then he had to get up again to pour water.

Queen Meng held him back and refused to let him go: "Your Majesty, you have something on your mind."

Zhao Xu shook his head: "Before Huang Qingji left the capital, he also wrote a memorial, saying that the Shuo Party has gone, the Luo Party has declined slightly, and the Sichuan Party has become stronger again."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Situ said that in the future, there will be many people who 'sell out their character' when scholars serve as officials. Huang Qingji is really like this!"

Empress Meng had never heard of this word before, and she was surprised and asked: "What is selling people?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile: "This is a drama term created by He Guitou and the others. It is a character in a drama. It needs to be set first, such as whether he is loyal or traitor, good or evil, and then the story book

In it, the characters' speech, behavior, and inner thoughts must conform to the previous settings. Only in this kind of drama can the characters have distinct personalities, make the audience believe in them, and be enjoyable to watch."

Queen Meng was very smart and couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Situ is saying that officials treat the court as a theater, and they all appear on stage one by one, performing pre-set characters. In fact, no one knows their true nature.

It’s for...looking good, right?”

Zhao Xu nodded: "For example, Huang Qingji, isn't he just performing 'Gu Kun'? However, the acting is so poor that it's not disgusting."

"When it comes to the Shu Party, Queen, tell me, who is the biggest Shu Party?"

Empress Meng hesitated for a long time: "Situ Gong is loyal to the country and goes to work without restraint. When he first became the prime minister, he established the system of removing the prime minister."

“This is called ‘leading by example’, but it has actually destroyed the foundation of ‘clique’.”

"Since ancient times, who can be as good as this? If we call him a party member, I'm afraid it would be a bit... unfair."

Zhao Xu burst into laughter: "Where are you thinking of, sister? What I mean is, according to those people's calculations, the largest Shu party, after all, shouldn't it be me?"

The younger sister Zai's beauty turned pale. She left her seat and knelt down to Zhao Xu: "How can these words come out of the mouth of the king? Your Majesty should have the world at heart, how can you classify yourself into a category? If it spreads to the outside world, I am afraid that future generations will taint your Majesty's reputation.

You are a foolish king, and you even insulted Situ as a sycophant. I ask your majesty to take back these words."

"Take it back, take it back..." Zhao Xu was really frightened and hurriedly helped his little sister up: "Isn't this a couple's gossip? Don't worry, these words can't come out of this room."

"I have handed over Da Su's resignation letter and Huang Qingji's ammunition to the three provinces for discussion. The two will advance and retreat according to their own national laws."

Queen Meng finally calmed down and said angrily: "Your Majesty was really scared to death just now."

"Sister is really scary." Zhao Xu was still frightened: "If you have anything to say in the future, just say it properly and don't do this again."

"The official must first agree to his concubine, and he must not do this again."

"Promise, promise..." Zhao Xu nodded repeatedly.

Empress Meng sat down again and said: "Master, I'm afraid this time I have a strong intention to leave and won't be able to keep you... Your Majesty, the court has its own laws, so I'm not afraid of it. On the contrary, it's hard to explain to the Empress Dowager."

Zhao Xu sighed: "Master's reputation is too high, he is free and uninhibited, and he doesn't know how to hide, so he is easily attacked by others. In fact, I know that he is an open-minded person."

After saying that, he started to ponder: "But there is really some trouble with the Empress Dowager."

Queen Meng thought for a moment and said: "It would be better to have the officials summon the Master alone, and ask the Empress Dowager to live in Baoci Palace. As for who persuades whom in the end...it depends on God's will."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but admire his wife's wisdom, and she was right, this way of dealing with it was the best.

On Xin Mao, Zhao Xu conveyed the emperor's decree and ordered Su Shi to enter the palace to report.

All the ministers were shocked. After the Empress Dowager fell ill, she had moved to the deep palace and no longer summoned the ministers. This behavior was clearly intended to push the boundaries.

Fatty Su is afraid that he will become rich in the blink of an eye!

However, no one knew about the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Su Shi. Su Shi looked at ease after leaving the palace. Just when the ministers thought they had guessed it correctly, the commander suddenly dropped the command. Su Shi was promoted to Grand Bachelor of Guanwen Palace, and then...

… came to know about Yangzhou.

Immediately, some people complained about Da Su's injustice. Zuo Si remonstrated with Yu Ce and wrote: "I will prepare my position and state my duties, and the ministers who advance and retreat in the imperial court should be discussed. But I secretly remembered that Shi Shi recommended ministers in the Yuanfeng year, which is in my heart.

, I am sincerely afraid that I will not be close to you, and I will be ashamed of my reputation, so I dare not put it into writing. I have no intention of punishing you for my post. I am begging to be sent by a small state to get rid of you."

Gu Lin, a Hanlin scholar who took over the task of making the book, also refused to draft the edict and wrote: "I am still serving the imperial edict, and I am deeply grateful. However, Su Shi's edict to be released to the outside world, I dare not accept. I just think that the law of the country is permanent, and people's words are to be feared.

Although there is no clear distinction between good and evil, it is difficult to distinguish between foolish ministers. I hope that the Holy Mercy will punish the ministers urgently, so as to eliminate the bad luck of the villain and serve as a warning to the ministers in power."

This is called a crazy fan. The former means that Da Su is my idol, but because I was recommended by him, I usually don’t dare to get close to him. Now that the court has demoted him, I don’t dare to say good things for him. This is a vegetarian meal. Please

The imperial court probably demoted me too.

The latter said that the court demoted Dasu was unclear and did not give an explanation of good or evil. Although we dare not say that the court was wrong, but if Dasu is a villain, then I ask myself that it should be ignored, so I dare not write this edict.

Writing this can be regarded as a vegetarian meal in the corpse position. Your Majesty, please demote me as well, just to give everyone a warning!

The imperial edict refused.

But it is not allowed to be useless. The imperial court demoted officials, and it was necessary for Hanlin bachelors to prepare edicts. When the Shu Party fought against the Luo Party, the Hanlin Hall of Da Su defeated Cheng Yi's imperial censor. The entire Hanlin Academy was almost full of fans of Da Su.

.

There are people who can't deal with Da Su, but the literary talents of these people are far behind Da Su's fans, not to mention Da Su's.

Moreover, the current reputation of Dasu is far higher than that of the same period in history in another time and space. In addition, the emperor and the empress dowager have very ambiguous intentions. If you go out, you can go out. But the bachelor's degree has been promoted by one level. What does this mean?

Really no one dares to pick it up.

Fortunately, Dasu solved this problem perfectly - Hey, it seems that I am also a Hanlin bachelor, so I can write this edict myself!

So Da Su wrote an article without adding any points, "Edict to Promote Su Shi Guanwen Palace to the Imperial Academy of Arts and Information about Yangzhou in accordance with the former Minister of Rites":

"Under the door:

I listen to the government during the day and read books at night. Although Yu Tang was eager to seek truth, he did not dare to slack off; but Huang Lao's skills of nourishing the nature were quite lacking.

Thanks to Qionghou's good health and the blessing of Meng Zongshe. Good energy will come back, and good luck will make you strong.

I am an official. I have long-standing loyalty, humility and self-restraint. I follow the path of the five permanent things, and my mind wanders in the abyss of the six arts.

When he talks about policies and policies, he often thinks of them and gives advice; when he writes books, he hears more about them every time he is happy.

In the play, the country is exhausted, heaven and man help, and the celebration of happiness is not only in you.

The grace of Pei Ran is respected by all the people. If you go and obey this favor, you will be more careful.

He was promoted to the Grand Scholar of Guanwen Palace and learned about Yangzhou according to the former Minister of Rites.

Can."
