C1156

The next morning, Shi Miyuan came to the court room to wait. When the ministers saw that Shi Miyuan, who had not been in court for a long time, also went to court, they all came to greet him. Chen Wenduan was also very surprised and thought, "this traitor, who has not been in court for a long time, is afraid that nothing good will happen today."

I think so in my heart, but it is clear that both of them are loyal officials of the imperial court. One of the examiners Chen Wenduan used to attend the capital examination was Shi Miyuan. Therefore, if we look into it carefully, Shi Miyuan and Chen Wenduan still have the friendship between teachers and students.

As a result, although they were fighting, they were usually very polite. Seeing that Shi Miyuan was already in the court room, Chen Wenduan also went forward to say hello to Shi Miyuan.

In this way, not long after, only three whips were heard.

After hearing this, the ministers immediately calmed down and stood in two classes, civil and military, according to their own ranks, waiting for the early reign of emperor ningzong.

Soon, Emperor ningzong sat on the Dragon chair with the help of the eunuch.

When all the people had finished their visit, the eunuch in charge came forward and announced in a loud voice: "ministers, this morning the court will start. If you have something to play early, you will not leave the court."

After the chief eunuch's announcement, the hall was silent for a moment.

At this time, Shi Miyuan came out of the class, then fell on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Emperor ningzong, who had not gone to court for a long time, said today, "it's the prime minister who went to court today, and I'll present your Memorial."

Shi Miyuan rushed to deliver his memorial to the chief eunuch who came to get it.

The eunuch in charge presented the folded son to Emperor daoningzong.

Emperor ningzong opened the memorial. After reading it, ha laughed and said, "prime minister, are you old? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that Xinran betrayed the country and joined the enemy? You know, Xinran's father and grandfather advocated the northern expedition to the Central Plains and regarded the kingdom of Jin as the enemy. But Xinran was still in my palace some time ago. How could he join the king even if he broke the strange case What about China? It seems unreasonable. "

"Your Majesty, the news of the old minister is absolutely reliable. Besides, it's hard to predict people's minds. For the sake of prosperity, maybe Xin Ran would betray our song dynasty. Besides, when Xin Ran was in Our Song Dynasty, many important ministers from your majesty to the court had close contact with him. It's hard to guarantee that Xin Ran didn't do it intentionally. "Shi Miyuan said.

At this time, Li Zhixiao, the right counsellor and the chief minister of Dali temple, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen caught several spies from the northern Jin State a few days ago. According to their confession, Xin Ran did not know where to abduct a woman doctor who was very skilled in medicine and treated the emperor and his concubine in the imperial palace, He also had a hot fight with the king of the state of Jin and other powerful ministers. He often drank and had fun together. This matter is open in the state of Jin, and it's not a secret. "

"Oh, there are still such things. I always think that Xin Ran is an upright young man. I didn't expect him to do such humiliating things behind my back. I'm really disappointed." Ningzong emperor road.

Said here, Emperor ningzong thought about it, and then said: "prime minister, you have always been a veteran statesman, in your opinion, how to deal with this matter?"

Seeing that emperor ningzong asked for his opinion, Shi Miyuan immediately said in advance, "Your Majesty, the kingdom of Jin is the enemy of our song dynasty, and Xinran has a certain influence in Our Song Dynasty. If such people join the kingdom of Jin, they will have a great influence on the morale of our song Dynasty's army and people. Therefore, the old minister thinks that such people must be severely punished He was arrested from the state of Jin and brought to justice. If he dares to resist, he can take the law into his own hands. "

Before the emperor ningzong replied to Shi Miyuan, he saw another man from the civil service class.

He is Zhen Dexiu, the Minister of rites. He has always highly praised Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism, but he is really upright. Therefore, although he and Shi Miyuan believe in Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism, their ways of being an official are quite different.

Therefore, after zhendexiu stood up and began to play, he said to Emperor ningzong, "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, I'm afraid that the prime minister's opinion on this matter is not right."

"What's your opinion, dear love?" Emperor ningzong asked.

Zhendexiu said: "the emperor is wise. According to the view of Wei Chen, the Minister of punishment, Lord Chen Wenduan is upright and selfless. He can investigate it first, and then report it to the emperor for decision. This matter can't be decided hastily, because Xinran is a famous family after all, and there are not a few of his father's officials in the court. If he doesn't handle it properly, he is afraid that it will affect the political stability of the Song Dynasty. ”

"that's true, too." Emperor ningzong thought after hearing what zhendexiu said, and then said.

Seeing that someone objected to his master's opinion, Li Zhixiao immediately jumped out and said to Emperor ningzong, "Your Majesty, your advice is not advisable."

"Why is that?" Emperor ningzong asked Li Zhi about filial piety.

Seeing that the emperor asked himself, Li Zhixiao immediately replied, "Your Majesty, you are Shengming. Zhuo Xinran and Chen Wenduan have always been very good friends. Moreover, it is said that they have to marry their younger sister to Xinran. In this way, they are related. The person concerned should avoid suspicion. How can Chen Wenduan and Chen Wenduan handle this?""Well, there is a certain truth in what Li Aiqing said." Said emperor ningzong.

At this time, Chen Wenduan, who had not spoken for a long time, could not help hearing what Shi Miyuan and his party members said, so he stood up, knelt down and said to Emperor ningzong: "Your Majesty, when Xin Ran came out of Lin'an, I knew this man, and I knew something about his going to the kingdom of Jin. As for his thoughts about the kingdom of Jin, I would like to ask him alone You tell me about it, but there is one thing that I dare to guarantee with my life. Xinran is by no means the person who betrays the country and seeks honor as the prime minister said. He is absolutely loyal to our song dynasty. Please rest assured. "

"Oh, Mr. Chen, this Xin Ran is going to be your brother-in-law. Naturally, that's what you said." Li Zhixiao satirized Chen wenduandao.

"Yes, what Mr. Li said is very reasonable. Although Mr. Chen handles the affairs of the Ministry of punishment very appropriately, he is afraid that he will not handle his relatives' affairs properly." Shi MI has a long way to go.

"Prime minister Shi, you said that. Since I came to the court as an official, Chen Wenduan has always acted impartially and selflessly. Do you have any personal grudge against Xin ran when you slander him so much?" Chen Wenduan's team has a long history.
