Chapter 126 Fan Chunren Enters Beijing

Dinghai (24) in April of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

The Hall of Yanhe listens to the government.

According to the story, there was a secretary to follow up the ancestors of the two palaces, so the head of the Dutang made a petition, begging to be named the empress dowager and the deceased ancestors of the empress dowager.

The two palaces repeatedly declined, and the officials continued to write letters, and finally agreed.

Destined to have a story of Si Yi, the ancestors and grandmothers of the two palaces and three generations were respectively posthumous.

At the same time, at the request of the empress dowager's biological mother, Mrs. Li Shi of South Korea and Zhao Guotai, the two palaces have orders, and they will posthumously present the three generations of the concubine Zhu.

Therefore, Zhu's great-grandfather Ren Baixiang, grandfather Ren Shiqing, father Ren Tinghe, prince Taibao, Taifu, Taishi, and stepfather Zhu Shi'an posthumously presented Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Kaizhou Governor.

As for that poor Cui biological father?

Weeping in the toilet.

This is no way.

The Cui family did not raise the Zhu family for a day, but the Ren family adopted the Zhu family. Although the intention may be for profit, it is really good for the Zhu family!
As for his stepfather, Zhu Shi'an, although he never raised the Zhu family, at least, Zhu's biological mother was buried with Zhu Shi'an in the end.

The two palaces originally wanted to make up for some of the sons of the Ren family and the Zhu family to be officials.

Zhao Xu refused without hesitation.

He knew what virtue the Ren family and Zhu family were!
A little money and silk are rewarded every year, and you can get it if you keep it.

Letting them come out to be officials will kill others!
wrong!

When they come out to be officials, they will only be used as weapons!

So Zhao Xu took the opportunity to say that the Empress Dowager's biological mother Han Han, Mrs. Zhao Guotai, understands the righteousness, and it is appropriate to continue to be a great country!

In a few days, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhao Guotai became Mrs. Han and Mrs. Yue Guotai!

Zhao Xu also ordered Yousi to double the Chang Yi given to South Korea, Mrs. Zhao Guotai, and Mrs. Qin and Lu Guotai, the birth mothers of the empress dowagers.

What is real salary?

Just don't play the same game of saving Mo and Zhe Se, and always give a thousand cash, and a stone of rice will give Xi Se.

Zhao Xu's performance satisfied both palaces.

When the officials saw it, they all expressed their praises.

And Zhao Xu actually didn't spend much money.

Over the course of a year, the two grandmas took thousands of extra salaries and hundreds of shi of rice and wheat.

The gold and silver utensils and silks in the four seasons and festivals are nothing more than doubled.

But what Zhao Xu gained was the trust of the two palaces and the praises of the Gao family and the Xiang family.

This is a great deal!
After talking about trivial matters such as posthumous titles and posthumous gifts, it is government affairs.

The right minister, Han Jiang, made a request: all the households in the world owed Yuanfeng seven years ago the young crop money and the interest on the exempt money, and begged for grace to release five cents.

It also listed in detail the interest owed in Gyeonggi, Hebei, Hedong, and Henan.

The imperial edicts of the two palaces are acceptable, and they are ordered to be released.

It means that the interest of Yuanfeng seven years ago will be halved.

This can be regarded as the real benevolent government after the new king ascended the throne.

Because the interest on the exemption money and the young crop money is both 20.00%, and now it has been cut to [-]%.

What a great grace!

Han Jiang was still timid and didn't dare to directly propose that the young crop money, the exemption money, and the interest on the exemption money be set at [-]%—of course, Zhao Xu doesn't dare now either!

How offensive!
Loan lending is a means for big households to control small households!

This is true in cities, as well as in rural areas.

After Han Jiang, Yousi reported many local affairs.

Zhao Xu didn't care much about it.

Because it's a trivial matter, it's nothing more than that the officials here have to be promoted one level, and the officials over there have to be demoted.

After the court, Zhao Xu followed the two palaces back to Da Nei, had lunch with the two palaces in Baoci Palace, and then returned to Funing Palace for an afternoon nap.

……

Zhao Xu is young, so he can rest and sleep.

The meeting of the chief ministers and elders in the Dutang Lingting Hall had already started on time.

When Sima Guang brought Fan Zuyu into this brand new Dutang Lingling Hall, he discovered that two elders hadn't come.

Wen Yanbo and Feng Jing are not here!

Right Prime Minister Han Jiang invited Sima Guang to his seat with a smile, and then told him: "Junshi, today the grand master said that he was unwell, so he won't come to Dutang... But the grand master said: what Junshi means is Some meaning..."

Sima Guang listened, his old face twitched.

What do I mean what you mean?
"Where's Feng Dangshi?" Sima Guang asked, holding back the displeasure in his heart.

"Feng Dangshi has already entered the resignation table, begging to return to Heyang..." Han Jiang was still smiling.

Sima Guang took a deep breath, barely sat on his seat, and did not have a seizure.

On the first day of the Zaizhi elders meeting, Wen Yanbo shirked his illness, and Feng Dangshi simply became a deserter!

When they were in Luoyang, they were not like this!

At that time, Feng Dangshi could not wait to dismiss all the new laws one day even if it was a letter exchange.

Wen Yanbo has even told him many times that the new law will harm the people and the people.

But when things came to an end, one ran away, and the other didn't come at all.

"Zihua!" Sima Guang looked at Han Jiang seriously: "When I was in Luoyang, the old man also visited Zihua many times... I know Zihua is also a gentleman..."

"After this discussion, Zihua should support the old man, right?"

Han Jiang said with a smile: "Junshi...Of course I support Junshi..."

"However, for this meeting, the old man, as the right chancellor, has to be in the middle to preside over and coordinate..."

"It's really not good to publicly support!"

The meaning is obvious - the old man provides everything except support.

But this was only the beginning of Sima Guang's setbacks!
When all the elders and ministers were present, the governors of all halls also arrived in the order hall.

Shangshu Zuocheng and Zhang Dun, the servant of the door, ordered people to take out the written record of the last imperial edict discussed in the Dutang, and circulate it to the elders.

The stacked documents are a full three feet high!

It will take several days just to read these documents!

Sima Guang had a headache just looking at it, but he still couldn't attack it.

Because this is the system, the rules, and the court's law!
Zhang Dun also speaks righteously, one mouthful, one ancestor's law, and the national system.

Sima Guang was so blocked that he could not speak!

……

When Zhao Xu woke up, Shi Deyi's figure appeared in front of the bed.

"Everyone, the meeting has been adjourned..."

"Ok?"

"Today, Zhang Dun distributed thousands of documents and records..." Shi Deyi said quietly: "You elders, you are already old and lack energy. After only reading for half an hour, you have asked for orders from the officials. Transcribe the copy, go back and read it carefully..."

Zhao Xu listened quietly, not surprised at all.

Sima Guang should be grateful that he met the current Zhang Dun, not the Zhang Zihou of Shaosheng's era!
That Zhang Dun who was dazzled by hatred, that Zhang Dun who would do anything for revenge!
Therefore, Zhang Dun only used means within the scope of the rules.

Otherwise, Sima Guang would know why the ministers of Wanyan Gou would describe Zhang Dun as vicious.

"Shen Kuo just handed over the post..." Shi Deyi continued.

"Huh?" Zhao Xu finally responded and stretched out his hand.

Shi Deyi put Shen Kuo's post into Zhao Xu's hands.

Zhao Xu opened it and saw that it was Shen Kuo's report.

He said that he had already taken up the post in the official office of the Armament Manufacturing Bureau, and was familiarizing himself with the situation of the official office. At the same time, he planned to go to the various workshops of the Armament Bureau to inspect the workshops in the next few days, and summoned the officials and staff from each workshop to clarify the relationship one by one.

Shen Kuo said that it would take him about [-] to [-] days to clarify the upper and lower matters, so he begged 'Your Majesty to give me grace'.

Zhao Xu shook his head after reading it.

It can only be said that his father gave too much shadow to these ministers of Xining and Yuanfeng.

"Tell Shen Kuo, don't rush, take your time..."

"One month, two months, whatever!"

"I can afford to wait!"

It is dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons, and it is the exclusive division of the emperor.

Almost not responsible to anyone except the emperor!
Shen Kuo's new appointment will inevitably take time to adapt, to establish his prestige, and to get familiar with him.

Shi De nodded and backed away.

Zhao Xu sat up, and Feng Jing brought the maid up to help him wash up.

After washing up, Zhao Xu went for a walk in the imperial garden as usual.

As the weather has gotten hotter recently, Zhao Xu has been going out more and more frequently.

If possible, he will stay in the garden as much as possible.

At the same time, he also ordered more than ten doors and windows of Funing Hall to be opened at any time for ventilation.

……

Sima Guang went down to court and returned to the official residence.

Fan Zuyu didn't come back with him, but stayed in the Dutang, watching people transcribe those documents.

This made Sima Guang a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Yuan Sui, who had served him for many years, knew Sima Guang's habits very well, and brought tea immediately upon seeing him.

Sima Guang took a few sips of tea and finally calmed down.

He knew that he had to find a way to convince those elders.

Especially Wen Yanbo!

Otherwise, those ministers in the hall will keep repeating such methods to delay time!

At the same time, Sima Guang also knew that this delay would be a huge blow to his reputation and prestige. The People's Congress discussed: Everyone said that Mr. Sima was the minister who saved the time. Why is it that such a trivial matter has been delayed until now? OK?
The two palaces will doubt and question his ability even more!

but……

What can Sima Guang do?
Ask him to write articles, ask him to criticize current malpractices, he is first-class.

But when it comes to specific matters, when it comes to specific tasks, he is really powerless!
He himself is clear about this.

However, those who could have helped him make up for these shortcomings were confused by the new party's concessions and compromises in the capital.

Thinking of this, Sima Guang couldn't help but look forward to Lu Gong's entry into Beijing.

"Uncle Lu Hui doesn't know how long it will take to arrive in Beijing!" Sima Guang sighed when he thought of this.

From Yangzhou to Bianjing, it takes at least [-] days to go back and forth.

But if Mr. Lu's work really takes twenty days to enter Beijing, then he will be in serious trouble.

Sima Guang was sighing.

A Yuan Sui outside the door happily came in with a greeting card: "Mister! Mr.! Let's see whose invitation it is..."

Sima Guang took the greeting card and immediately stood up: "Yao Fu has entered Beijing?!"

"Hurry up please!"

At this moment, Sima Guang felt rain from the sky!
At the same time, this greeting post also opened up Sima Guang's mind!

Lu Gong's work is far away in Yangzhou, which is good!

But the gentlemen and virtuous ministers of the younger generation are also gathering towards Bianjing at this moment!
Yaofu was only the first.

Soon, everyone else will arrive in Beijing one after another!
And these people, these gentlemen and sages who originally wanted to resign because of Wang Anshi's new law, were persuaded by Shao Yong back then, with the wish of "one point of harm can be reduced, and the people will gain one point of benefit", and they stepped into this place. Under the attack of the new party, the officialdom in the world, those who persevere until now are his hope, and also the real hope of the common people in the world!

……

Zhao Xu sat in a gazebo in the Royal Garden, watching the butterflies dancing in the garden, and also seeing the colorful flowers in the garden, feeling relaxed and happy.

"Everyone..." Shi Deyi appeared in front of him.

"Xinzhi Qingzhou, Zhilongtuge Fan Chunren arrived in Beijing this morning, and he has already handed in a request for admission to the Xuande Gate!"

Zhao Xu listened, nodded, and said to himself, "Sima Niu is really lucky!"

Fan Chunren can be regarded as the most practical and courageous person in the old party besides Lu Dafang.

Just ...

Zhao Xu is very curious, in the current situation.

Will Fan Chunren still support Sima Guang like in his last life?

It should be noted that the current situation is completely different from the previous life.

However, Fan Chunren is a practical person. During the Yuanyou era, Fan Chunren once wanted to restore the green crop method, and also said that the green crop method has "five benefits".

Then he was besieged by Su Shi with the censor for a long time, forcing Fan Chunren to bow his head and admit his mistake, and never dared to say that the young crop method is also beneficial.

Then, Su Shi drifted away, saying that the exemption law was beneficial to the people, and then he, like Fan Chunren, was besieged.

　The condition is not good today, 4500 monthly tickets will be added, and it will be added tomorrow!
　　Note: According to historical records, the birth mother of the Empress Dowager had a monthly salary of 150 guan, and there were [-] pieces of cloth and silk in each of the four seasons in spring and autumn...

　　PS: According to historical facts, soon, this Mrs. Tai was given to Chang Yi.

　　Therefore, Zhao Xu is generous to others.
