Sima Guang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is extremely serious. The memorial to impeach Fang Ping is now in my hands. Please make it clear."

Zhao Xu said: "It's okay not to mention the old affairs of the previous dynasty. At that time, Jia Chang had help in the palace."

"Empress Wencheng's wet nurse, Jia, was linked to her in the Jia Chang Dynasty and was called 'aunt'. Wu Chunqing wanted to get the truth but couldn't. One of his servants said to Renzong: 'Taiwan's advice is only half-truth and truth. How can it be like Aunt Jia's affairs?

Is that so?' Renzong was silent for a long time, and then said: 'Jia family actually recommended Chang Dynasty.'"

After speaking, he said to Sima Guang: "Every time there is a day of worship, people will talk about it. It is really not a good thing for the court."

Sima Guang said: "This is a beautiful thing for the imperial court. It is difficult for Emperor Yao to know people. Moreover, if your majesty has newly ascended the throne, if there is a treacherous person, if you follow the advice and remain silent, how will your majesty know about it?"

Zhao Xu asked: "Is Wu Kui really Prime Minister Afu?"

Sima Guang did not answer directly: "I don't know."

Zhao Xu asked again: "Which one is wiser, the prime minister of Afu or the leader of Afu?"

Sima Guang said sternly: "Those who marry the prime minister are naturally treacherous; but those who wish to cater to the prime minister and follow the leader's trend are also treacherous."

Zhao Xu took out a memorial and handed it to Sima Guang: "This is the memorial of the rich man. Take a look at it."

Sima Guang opened the memorial and saw that it read:

"Emperors have no duties, except gentlemen and villains.

However, with thousands of officials and hundreds of positions, how can it be troublesome for the emperor to distinguish between them?

But those who are devoted to the affairs of the world will not be able to succeed unless a small amount of ginseng is used in it.

Your Majesty, please don't say that your harvest will be huge if you collect it widely. In the meantime, you should beware of villains who may confuse the Holy Spirit.

A treacherous plot may appear to be true, and a deceit may appear to be loyal. When suspicion arises, one must identify it early.”

Zhao Xu said sincerely: "Young and virtuous, I have been taught by everyone and dare not slack off. Therefore, I have done my homework beforehand. Your practice of righteousness is highly praised by the world, but when it comes to Zhang Andao, you have always been biased."

.”

Sima Guang raised his hands and said seriously: "May I ask Your Majesty, who taught you this so-called lesson?"

Zhao Xu's expression suddenly changed.

Sima Guang took out the bullet from his sleeve and said: "Since you have done this for yourself, Sima Guang will plead guilty and will go to the Zhang Mansion today to apologize to him."

Seeing that Zhao Xu remained silent, Sima Guang shook his head and continued: "From this point of view, it is not your fault. This further proves that Zhang Fangping has ulterior motives, is cunning and dangerous, his intelligence is enough to confuse the Lord, and his writing can disguise his evil intentions."

.Knowing that he was going to be impeached, he made arrangements in advance.”

"My lord, I impeach Zhang Fangping, a political advisor, for seducing people, blocking people's opinions, acting absurdly, and being inconsistent with public expectations. He is a great traitor and a first-rate villain!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but blush, and didn't know how to end it.

…

The next day, the imperial edict came out, and Quan Yushi Zhongcheng, Sima Guang, was restored to the rank of Hanlin bachelor and attendant bachelor, and Teng Fuquan was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng.

Sima Guang reported: "Yesterday, I discussed Zhang Fangping's participation in politics, which was not in line with public expectations. His words were not good enough, and I did not dare to accept any new orders."

The imperial edict was sent to Tongjin Yintai Department. Lu Gongzhu believed that Zhao Xu was causing trouble again, and Tai's admonishment advised the king that this was the right way.

Zhao Xu then issued an edict to Sima Guang: "I use your classics to practice righteousness, which is highly praised by the world. Now I will open up a way to become a great hero. I want you to discuss it day and night, lay down the rules, and use admonitions to guide the legacy. Therefore, I exchanged the forbidden forest with you.

The reason for the re-examination and persuasion is not because of Zhang Fangping's lecture the day before yesterday. Lu Gong wrote a seal and returned it, so it is not so interesting."

He took the imperial edict and paid it directly to the family, urging Sima Guang to take up his post.

Lu Gong's book said: "If the imperial edict is not issued by this department, the office of granting and refuting it will be abolished by the ministers."

The emperor's hand approved the memorial: "When the Yiying Pavilion is opened, you will know what I mean."

"History of the Song Dynasty": "Jiyou, when he first entered the Yingying Pavilion, summoned his ministers to give lectures on the history of reading scriptures.

He retreated, leaving only Lu Gong's writings, saying: "I want to always be at your side because of Sima Guang's moral knowledge, and it is not because of his inappropriate words."

Gongzhu asked for his dismissal, and he agreed to it. The next day, he called Gongzhu again and said: "The light is straight, how can it be round and broad?"

The public book said: "Confucius was a sage, and Zi Lu still called him circuitous; Meng Ke, a great sage, was also called circuitous by people at that time. How can a person who is Guangguang avoid this name! Most of the time, if he has far-reaching concerns, he is close to being circuitous. May your Majesty be more careful Check it out!'"

…

A wide-bottomed Wu ship stopped at Yingtianfu, Nanjing.

There was a family living on the boat. The hostess was nice, well-looking and dressed in the style of a wealthy family, while the male host was

How should I put it? To put it nicely, it’s called free and easy, but to say it sounds bad, it’s a bit sloppy.

The male host, who was in his forties or fifties, held a copy of "Shang Shu" in his hand. While reading, he compared it with several books spread out on the table beside him, and occasionally mentioned it to write notes.

The male host was served by a young man with a handsome appearance and a bit of arrogance at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, looking like a second-generation prince.

Just listen to the young man saying to the host: "Father, my duty is very important. When I set out, I was as anxious as a spark, but now I am staying in Nanjing. Is Su Mingrun really so amazing?"

The person who spoke was none other than Wang Yu, who had just won the Jinshi title a year ago and was in high spirits.

The one who studied was naturally Wang Anshi, and I heard Wang Anshi say: "Of course it is amazing. Su Mingrun's political management, military information, articles, and integrity are all commendable. He is a rare all-rounder in the Song Dynasty. However, the princes in the court are not tolerant and have always been at the border. Zhou Zhuan, this time I go to the palace, no matter what, I have to report to His Majesty, keep it in the capital, put it on the ground, it is a humiliation..."

Wang Xun sneered and said, "If I had known this, why would I have bothered to recommend him to the officials to demote him after he was promoted by his father? Su Mingrun won the prize. The opportunity, but I asked my father to let it go in vain."

Wang Anshi did not take it seriously: "It is indeed beyond my father's expectation. The fourteen-year-old Tanhualang has established himself with meritorious deeds in six years. Wherever he has experienced, he has good government and people; everything has changed, and he is not afraid of the current customs. Ren Zhi turns out to be a member of my generation."

Wang Yu was relatively sober, and shook his head and said: "Otherwise, this son is with Zhang Fangping, Zhao Pian, and Xue Xiang. His brother Su Xun, nephew Su Shi, and Su Zhe have a close relationship with Ouyang Xiu Fubi. He is also highly regarded by Han Qi. .When I go to Beijing this time, I have Zhang and Zhao to take care of me. Maybe they cherish feathers and don’t care about my father’s popularity.”

Wang Anshi put down the book: "Xiao'er, when I first met Su Mingrun, I once told you about your childhood deeds, that is, the deer was surrounded by deer, and the deer was surrounded by deer."

Wang Yu was quite impressed: "Su Mingrun is also known as a child prodigy, so what does he say?"

Wang Anshi glanced at Wang Yu: "Su Mingrun said, if you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it."

Wang Yu's expression suddenly changed.

Wang Anshi said: "This is great wisdom. Xiao'er, don't look down on the wise men in the world."

"Su Mingrun's literary principles are as good as yours. It was no coincidence that he was the most beautiful girl in high school back then. This book "Shangshu Qiwen" shows the depth of his thoughts."

"The rest of the economic latitude and longitude are beyond your reach. He has even made achievements in astronomy, geography, military, agriculture, industry and commerce, and even music and calligraphy."

"As for the study of science and engineering, dialectics, refined and pure three theories, and the thinking of emotion as the first principle, it is a synthesis of predecessors, but it has formed a new theory of its own. It is no exaggeration to say that it has the qualifications to establish a sect."

Wang Yu was dissatisfied: "Sichuan studies are complex and not pure. They focus on testing with reality. They only dare to take one step at a time and do not dare to make drastic decisions. In the final analysis, they are just paper framers."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "Xu'er, you are indeed a smart person, but you are so talented that you have lost your mind."

"At least I haven't heard Su Mingrun go straight to the Prime Minister, the name of the senior, and I have never seen him sulky in his life. With this kind of self-cultivation, let alone you, as a father, you would be ashamed."

"Aspiring to Taoism, relying on virtue, relying on benevolence, and wandering in art, this is the trend of the early Confucianism. Being trapped in the customs, party and friends, being constrained by officialdom, and obeying the king, this is the habit of modern Confucianism."

"There is not a trace of the corruption of modern Confucianism in Su You. This is what I value about him."

Wang Yu asked: "In that case, why did Mr. Zeng only see his father recommending Lu Huiqing and others, but not Su Mingrun?"

Wang Anshi laughed loudly: "Lao Su recommended Su to Ouyang. In his letter, he said that there is someone in his family who can stand out. He will be Mingrun without any help! Why should I do anything?"
