Zhao Zhen did not chat with Fan Zhongyan for too long. He knew that he could not change Fan Zhongyan's attitude, so he could only pin his hopes on the court's methods.
The abolition of the empress was a decision with no possibility of change. Even Ye An did not object, and Zhao Zhen did not care much about Fan Zhongyan's words.
From the very beginning, he knew that his abolition would inevitably lead to opposition from the court, but he would not give up because of the opposition. Qin Mumu was right. As the king of the Song Dynasty, he must have someone who can help him.
A virtuous wife helps rule the Sixth Palace.
Similarly, Zhao Zhen also has his own grievances in his heart. As the king of a country, why can't he just want a good wife? Why did Guo become the queen? Fan Zhongyan and other noble people don't know?!
At the beginning, they had no choice. Everything was decided by Liu E. Now that they have the opportunity to choose, they are restraining themselves with the justice of their family and country, but they are unwilling to change themselves to a queen they like and have the ability. Why?
!
Yes, in many cases, what really makes people angry is not the fact of this or that, but the sentence "Why, this is the greatest injustice in the world, and even an emperor like Zhao Zhen is not immune to it."
He is only twenty-four years old at the moment, which is the age when he is full of energy. Even though he has been influenced by Confucianism for many years, it is still difficult to avoid the surge of youthful energy in his body.
In his eyes, courtiers assist him in governing the country, but they also hinder his freedom.
Fan Zhongyan also knew that Zhao Zhen was determined and did not even want to talk to him. However, the abolition of the queen was a major matter of the country. The queen was the emperor's wife and could not be abdicated because of the lack of a queen without any fault. Otherwise, Liu E would have been grouped.
The minister remonstrated with the late emperor to abolish him in the name of having no queen.
What Queen Guo represents is the majesty of the mother of the country, and also the dignity of the Tian family!
After being abandoned without any mistakes, this was the act of a foolish king in the previous life. How should the people of the world view the official family? How will the foreign dynasties view the dynasty? It is simply a joke that is unseemly!
Fan Zhongyan left the palace in a hurry. He was going to look for Ye An. In his opinion, Ye An was probably the only one in the entire city of Tokyo who could persuade the officials to abandon their ambitions.
Old Fan lifted up his front and went out of the palace gate. Seeing that his carriage was still parked in the carriage yard outside the palace gate, he asked the coachman to drive home while he summoned a carriage from Ping An Trading Company from the street.
Go to Xinlingfang.
Ye An has been living in seclusion since he returned to Tokyo City. He only has the rank of a founding lord of the fourth rank, and a minister of Tianzhang Pavilion who is responsible for the responsibilities of advisors. This seems to be a serious official position, but it can be done
However, it is a post-office job. If the official has something to do, he will serve as an adviser, and if there is any contribution, he will ask for advice or report to the right. In other words, the workload depends entirely on the official and himself.
In the end, there was no serious dispatch officer in Ye An. Seeing that the new year was approaching, he was happy to do so. He received the salary from the court and had nothing to do, not even surveying and milling. This kind of "bastard" life
Even when the King of Heaven comes, I won’t change it!
But just when Ye An was playing games with his children every day, or having a barbecue in the garden, Fan Zhongyan came to his door. For this expected and reasonable thing, Ye An chose to ignore it.
rotten.
"The queen is the head of the six palaces and the mother of a country. How can we abolish the establishment so easily?"
"Well, you're right!"
"I have heard that Fan Xi wanted to abandon the official family because the queen had been in the palace for many years and had no heirs!"
"Well, you're right!"
"Don't always tell me like this, don't make jokes about this matter!"
"Well, you're right...I'm sorry, what did you just say?"
"you!"
Just before Fan Zhongyan lost his temper, Ye An quickly pulled him to sit down and said, "Don't be so anxious. There is no need to rush this matter. After the officials are so determined, even if you can stop it this time, how can you stop it every time?
I don’t think Queen Guo will stop because of this matter, and she will still be upset even if she doesn’t think so.”
"That is a matter for the empress and the official family, but it cannot be spread outside to make people laugh at it, let alone be abandoned after the law is inconsistent with the law. This is an unfair name and an unjust statement. Where is the prestige of the Song Dynasty? How do the officials and the people regard the officials?
Home?!"
Pushing the hot tea handed over by Ye An, Fan Zhongyan continued his speech, making Ye An, who poured the tea for him, smile bitterly.
"There is a saying that only the feet know whether the shoes fit or not. If the government is determined to depose the queen, all our efforts will be in vain. In the end, we will be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions. Instead, we will get into trouble and go out on our own. Then it will be true.
There is no way to save the day, you don’t want those people who want to take advantage of the deposed officials to succeed, right?”
Fan Zhongyan finally took Ye An's tea and put it to his lips, then stopped, looked at Ye An and said, "Then what do you think?"
"Me?!" Ye An pointed to his nose and said: "Look at the weather outside, look at my official position, do you think my words are useful now? The official summoned you but not me. It shows that the official is
You don’t want to see me, do you know why?”
Fan Zhongyan came back to his senses, frowned slightly and said, "Yes, you are a close minister of the official family. Why don't the officials call you for such important matters?"
"Because the official doesn't want to embarrass me, nor does he want to embarrass himself, he doesn't plan to summon me. This shows how strong the official's determination is, and it may be difficult to change his mind easily!"
Fan Zhongyan was very dissatisfied with Ye An's attitude. After going around and around, he still refused to go to the palace to see him. He couldn't help snorting coldly: "You are also a dignified minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, and you have the right to enter the palace to advise and stay to serve.
, why can’t you advise the officials? Furthermore, we scholars should consider the country as the most important thing, regardless of gains and losses, and we should speak out and impartially even if there are many difficulties!"
"Ah, yes, yes! What you said is right, but the problem is that speaking out can't solve the problem. If you don't want the official family to be abolished, then you have to ask Queen Guo to make complete changes. At the same time, you shouldn't be nagging in front of me now.
These are the righteousness of the family and the country. Instead, we should describe the causes and consequences of the abolition of the official family in detail to the Qingliu people, so that everyone knows that it is an unethical act to "abolish the official family without any fault". The fault lies with the official family, and then again
Let the Qingliu people unite and go to Shuguan's house. The time is short but you have a lot to do!"
Fan Zhongyan looked at Ye An blankly, not expecting that he already had a countermeasure, and asked in confusion: "Then what are you doing?!"
"I?"
Ye An pointed at his nose and said: "Of course I will continue to live my good life. The plan has been almost drawn up for you. You don't think I am willing to get involved, do you? I am a servant of the official family. Today
It’s already good enough to consult and confiscate your money, but you want me to help you personally? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
"You! You!"
Fan Zhongyan pointed at Ye An, then stood up with a wry smile and said: "When will you be able to handle the affairs of the court and the affairs of the Tian family as your own business, you will be the real pillar of the court."
Seeing Lao Fan walking away in anger, Ye An was stunned for a moment. He gave this guy his own ideas and plans. Is it natural that he would have to teach him a lesson in the end?!
This is the problem of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty, as if everything is as it should be.
Why didn't I praise the pillars of the dynasty when I was fighting fires for this dynasty? Why didn't anyone praise the pillars of the dynasty when I was dealing with disasters in the Jianghuai River and training the Imperial Army?
In the end, just because he didn't want to get involved in the chaos in the court, he became like a despicable villain. Ye An viciously said to the Wang Gang: "In the future, when these civil servants come, we will not serve them good tea! They will all drink tea foam!"
"Master Marquis, you are also a civil servant..." Wang Bang reminded him weakly and Ye An roared: "Except me!"
