Chapter 48 Senior Citizens Meeting(1/2)

Sima Guang took a small boat and arrived at the shore.

Two stout maids came forward, took off his raincoat and took his hat.

The old servant who had served him for decades brought him tea soup.

Sima Guang took a sip, and the bitter taste of the tea leaves and the spiciness of the ginger slices spread in his mouth, which lifted his spirits.

"Ms. Sir!" Fan Zuyu, who had been waiting nearby, bowed his hands and said, "There is news from the capital!"

"On Xin Mao Day, the Crown Prince has been established!"

"The emperor's sixth son, the prince of Yan'an County, Geng Zunba said: Xu, he will be established as the crown prince..."

Sima Guang nodded slightly, faced the direction of Bianjing, bowed his hands and said: "The country has a queen, the country has an heir, and the world is lucky!"

For Sima Guang, and for the senior officials in Luoyang.

Although today's official family seems to have the demeanor of a saint, but... they have taken the wrong path!

Many people have been waiting for His Majesty's palace carriage.

It's just that no one said it.

Now, this day is finally coming!

The most important thing is - his heir is only eight years old!

An eight-year-old prince or emperor is very malleable.

As long as we put it on the right track, everything in the world will be prosperous!

Fan Zuyu swallowed his saliva and whispered: "The decree seems to be somewhat..."

"Huh?" Sima Guang asked, "What happened to the decree?"

Fan Zuyu lowered his head and said: "News from Bianjing, it is decreed that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has the power to listen to the government, and Her Highness the Queen has the power to assist the military and state affairs!"

Sima Guang raised his head in surprise.

"Are Wang Yuyu and Cai Chizheng crazy?"

"Since ancient times, where has the story of two palaces listening to politics come from?"

"I want to express this!" Sima Guang made his judgment immediately.

This must have been done by the new party ministers in the court!

The emperor is sick and cannot afford to be sick.

The young master is young, and the erotic palace is ignorant and ignorant.

It must be Wang Gui, Cai Que and others who deceived the two palaces!

Sima Guang must take care of this matter! No matter what!

Not only that, Sima Guang also decided to write letters to Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Daming Mansion to contact other senior officials.

You can even write a letter to Jiangning and ask that stubborn Mr. Wang Jiefu, was this your instigation?

Fan Zuyu pulled Sima Guang's sleeve.

"Chunfu?" Sima Guang frowned: "But there is a hidden secret in it?"

Fan Zuyu nodded.

Sima Guang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Tell me...what's going on?!"

Fan Zuyu then told Sima Guang the general information he had received.

After listening to this, Sima Guang's face was full of disbelief: "Are you sure?"

Fan Zuyu nodded: "It should be confirmed!"

"If your Majesty has any doubts, tomorrow at the latest, the courier from Bianjing will bring the Xinmao day report and the tabloid from Bianjing on that day!"

Sima Guang took a deep breath.

"Everything goes well with the family..." He pondered, chewed, and then praised: "Your Majesty is truly the sage and emperor!"

only……

Since Your Majesty knows this truth, why do you only believe in Wang Anshi and the new law villains promoted by Wang Anshi?

Let them cause trouble to the country and destroy the ancestral system?!

Sima Guang shook his head in his heart.

Then, he looked at Fan Zuyu and asked, "Does Chunfu think the news from Bianjing is credible?"

Fan Zuyu naturally knew what Sima Guang was referring to?

All kinds of legends about the erotic Yuan Liang, the current crown prince of the Song Dynasty!

If it were before today, Fan Zuyu would probably shake his head.

What are the news coming from Bianjing?

The eight-year-old prince copied two volumes of Buddhist scriptures every day and sent them to the emperor to pray before him.

Not only that, this prince also understands etiquette clearly!

In addition to praying for my father, I also know to pray for my mother-in-law’s long life, my mother’s blessings for the future, and my long-term happiness!

This is really too much.

Where does an eight-year-old child come from such mobility and execution? Where does it come from such cognition and insight?

However, this did not prevent everyone in Luoyang from immediately starting to write congratulations after receiving the news.

Tianjia, aren’t they all so good-looking?!

Since the Tian family wants to brag, the ministers will naturally not be disappointed!

However, the news coming from Bianjing became more and more exaggerated.

The prince was polite and eager to learn. At the age of only eight, he had already mastered the Analects of Confucius and the Classic of Filial Piety. His words of benevolence and sage came out casually, and his teachings were engraved in his heart.

He even started to learn from his mother-in-law!

The prince read the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period given by his mother-in-law, and he would like to report to his mother-in-law: If Uncle Zheng is captured but not killed, and he teaches Uncle Duan with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and law, what will Uncle Duan do to Uncle Zheng?

When the news reached Luoyang, everyone opened their mouths and went back to write congratulations.

The Queen Mother wanted to praise her grandson and make her grandson's image bright and bright in front of the world.

It’s understandable! It’s understandable!

Fan Zuyu followed Sima Guang to study Zizhi Tongjian, with historical materials in his hands and loads in his cart.

There are countless similar examples in history books.

There are things more exaggerated and bizarre than this.

Left and right are nothing more than illusions deliberately created by those in power to whitewash themselves.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Book incident in this dynasty is well known to everyone, and all the scholars and officials are ashamed of it.

Even if Tianjia can't bring it up now, he won't mention it.

However, the news coming from Bianjing today is really thought-provoking.

The prince... no, it should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now.

His Highness showed astonishing wisdom before and after he moved to the palace.

In particular, when asked by the prime minister, he was able to explain his personal opinions in a clear and logical manner without overstepping any etiquette.

If the news from Bianjing is indeed true.

Then Fan Zuyu had to go back and examine the various beautifying deeds that he thought were the empress dowagers and empresses in the palace who deliberately released in order to whitewash the prince.

He had to think about it - what if... what if, those things were really done by the prince himself.

So, now in Luoyang City, all the speculations and assumptions of the elders and wise men about His Highness Yuanliang of the Song Dynasty must be overturned.

Thinking of this, Fan Zuyu raised his hands and said: "My lord, I think that if everything Bian Jing said is true, then it will be a blessing to the country and the country!"

The sages of Luoyang have retreated to Luoyang for more than ten years, just waiting for such an opportunity and possibility.

Officials are stubborn and have been completely fascinated by the gold, silver and copper coins in the treasury.

But how did he know that the wealth in the world is fixed?

Either with the government or with the people.

Now, the court has more money, and the people naturally have less money.

The people have no money, people's livelihood is in decline, and everything is depressed!

In this case, no matter how much money there is in the government treasury, what is the use?

Sima Guang did not answer Fan Zuyu, but fell into deep thought.

Fan Zuyu couldn't help but become curious when he saw it. He raised his hands and asked, "Ms. sir, what are you thinking about?"
