Chapter 2 Dementia
Empress Meng is the granddaughter of the late Ma Jun Du Yuhou, Meizhou Defense Envoy, and Captain Meng Yuan, who is dignified and virtuous, intelligent and thoughtful. It's just that Queen Meng was single-handedly handled by Empress Dowager Gao and arranged for Zhao Xu, and Meng was three years older than Zhao Xu, so she was deeply disliked by Zhao Xu.
Meng has been familiar with reading scriptures since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable, but he opens his mouth and Meng, and closes his mouth Renzong, and Zhao Xu has also read poetry and books since he was a child, and the attendants and ministers around him are also like this, so how can Queen Meng please Zhao Xu?
Empress Zhao Xu's Meng is relatively athletic, standing with the thin Zhao Xu, not like a husband and wife at all, but like a sister and brother, and even like a mother and son...
Song Jieyu, who is petite and exquisite, is from a slightly cold background, and she speaks vulgarly and frivolously on weekdays, so she is deeply favored by Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu's heart has been around for a long time.
The most important and most important thing is that the Empress Meng was arranged by the late Empress Dowager Gao to Zhao Xu, representing the Yuanyou Party, and Zhao Xu has been surrounded by the Yuanyou ministers represented by Sima Guang since he ascended the throne at the age of nine, and the Yuanyou ministers only respect the Empress Dowager Gao, and the little emperor Zhao Xu is unreasonable, and Zhao Xu's opinion is not sought at all for major affairs in the court, and the Empress Dowager Gao's horse is the first to look forward to the time, which has lasted for seven years, and at the same time, Zhao Xu has been aggrieved for seven years and hated for seven years.
Therefore, after the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu was pro-government, and he deposed the ministers of Yuanyou, such as Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang and others, and reused the ministers of Yuanfeng such as Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, and Cai Jing, and abolished the national policy of the Empress Dowager Gao's curtain to listen to the government, and ordered the new law of Yuanfeng to be expounded and implemented.
At this time, the sudden occurrence of the witch Gu case exacerbated the situation.
Zhao Xu ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, so Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others took the palace maids and chamberlains around the queen, gouged out their eyes, cut their tongues, burned them, skinned them, and tortured them.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have found out that this is indeed the case." After taking out some confessions, he said: "This is a confession, and the ministers have come to ask for the will at this time. ”
"How can it be?" Zhao Xu was so angry that he coughed violently, patted the armrest of the soft chair and said angrily: "I will not spare such a traitor." ”
"Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body." Zeng Bu on the side persuaded: "Queen Meng has always been calm and demure, how can she do something rebellious for this?" This must have been done by the people around him, and I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it. ”
"Zeng Gong's words are also fallacious." Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "The minister has found out that the queen has close contacts with some ministers in the court, and there are also correspondence with people who are released. ”
"What does the Zhang Qing family mean to deal with them?" Zhao Xu asked after pondering for a moment.
"The minister suggested that the Empress Meng's throne be abolished, and the titles and titles of Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu should be pursued, and their tombs should be destroyed and their corpses violent, so as to set an example." Zhang replied.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Cai Bian said: "If the queen is at fault, just abolish her throne, and this matter should not be publicized, so as not to affect the name of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, and Sima Guang and others are dead after all, why destroy the tomb and corpses at this time?" If this is done, it will be a loss of people's hearts. ”
In order to fight against Zhang Dian together, Cai Bian unknowingly walked with Zeng Bu.
"What Cai Xianggong said is that Empress Xuanren Shenglie blessed the Holy Bow for nine years, and her merits were towering, and she returned to her heart from all over the world; On the day of ascension, the sea is like a mourning test. If you slander with traitors and talk about it, you will not only lose your filial piety, but you will also lose people's hearts. Zeng Bu also persuaded.
"I don't mean to slander my mother." Zhao Xu hurriedly said when he heard this.
Although the Empress Dowager Gao was dead at this time, Zhao Xu did everything he could, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, after all, the Empress Dowager Gao's virtuous name was known all over the world, after all, Song ruled the world with filial piety.
"But if not, in what name should the Meng clan be deposed? After deposing Meng, who should be the successor? Zhao Xu then asked.
Zeng Bu sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, and replied: "The same is true for the Zhenzong Dynasty to offer Empress Liu, but Your Majesty still has to ask for the edict of the two palaces, so that Chinese and foreign countries can obey." ”
The situation of the queen Liu and Jieyu Liu in the Song Zhenzong period was similar, which found a precedent for Zhao Xu to find a deposed queen and canonize a new queen.
However, at this time, the Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu's own mother, Concubine Zhu, were still alive, so such a major event had to be invited to the edict of the two palaces.
"Qing's words are true." Zhao Xu saw that there was a precedent to follow, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The canonization of the queen was preempted by Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others were extremely unwilling, and then Zhang Dian in order to gain the merit of supporting the establishment, in order to gain Zhao Xu's favor, actually forged the edict after the abolition of the two palaces.
This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
In the second year, the queen Meng was deposed, moved to the cold palace to live, and set up Jieyu Liu as the queen, at the same time, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu and others took advantage of this matter to attack the old party of Yuan You, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Su Shi, Su Che and others were degraded again and again, Su Shi first degraded Yingzhou, then degraded Dingzhou, and then degraded Huizhou, Guangnan, and finally the sixty-two-year-old Su Shi Yiye Guzhou was degraded to the desolate place of Qiongtai Danzhou.
This is second only to the full door of copying...
Su Shi's wife was separated, and his family was almost ruined.
。。。。。。。。
Qiongtai Danzhou
Qiongtai is located in the southernmost part of the Song Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Guangnan West Road, lonely and lonely hanging overseas, the climate is humid and hot, it is winter at this time, but there is no winter taste on the island, and you don't feel cold when you wear a single clothes.
Walking to Hu in the north, going to Yue in the south, Lingnan, Qiongtai and other places have always been the places of exile of all dynasties, and Qiongtai is the place of exile for felons, or almost all the people hated by the imperial court have been exiled to Qiongtai, which is a place where the imperial court degrades officials.
Qiongtai is far away from the imperial court, not only is the living materials scarce, but there are many poisonous insects and beasts on the island, and the climate is also humid and hot, and it is windy and rainy all year round.
The establishment of Song in Qiongtai changed from time to time, and about four states and eleven counties were set up.
The people of Qiongtai are mainly of the Li nationality, and there are some Han people or Han merchants, who live together with Li and Han, and of course include many Song court officials who were deposed here.
The Li people mainly gather around Limu Mountain and are distributed all over Qiongtai.
"Jian'er, are you awake?" At this time, in a family in the seaside fishing village of Danzhou and Qing Town, a woman in her thirties looked at her son Li Sanjian and opened her eyes in a daze, so she cried with joy.
Li Sanjian, who was only thirteen years old, opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and asked after glancing at the young woman who was lying in front of the bed and crying in a low voice, "Where am I?" Who are you? ”
"Jian'er, I'm your mother." The young woman cried, "Have you forgotten again? ”
Mother? Mother is mother, what does it mean to add a parent? So Li Sanjian asked suspiciously: "Mother's mother is what mother's meaning is, right?" Are you my mother? No way? ”
"You're definitely not my mother." Li Sanjian then shook his head resolutely.
"How are you? Why don't you talk the same as before? Why can't my mother understand? Are you sick again? The young woman asked, worried.
This young woman, surnamed Fu, was a Li who married a Han man from Qiongtai more than ten years ago at the age of fifteen, that is, Li Qing, the father of Li Sanjian.
Li Qing was exiled to Danzhou by the Song court in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, and then Li Qing has been living in Danzhou, marrying a wife and having children, I don't know whether the court forgot or has been unwilling to pardon Li Qing and others, so they have not returned to their homeland, Shao Wujun on Fujian Road.
The Fu family is the second in line, so he is called Fu Erniang.
Li Qing and Fu Erniang had three sons, but due to the plague and hard life, Li Sanjian's two elder brothers died, and Li Qing also died of illness at this time.
Fu Erniang's three children are only Li Sanjian alone, life is extremely miserable, the most important thing is that Li Sanjian doesn't know what the reason is since he was a child, maybe Li Sanjian got sick in his mother's womb, and he was born with some dementia, and he couldn't speak until he was five years old, which made Fu Erniang even worse.
Li Sanjian is also stupid on weekdays, he looks at the sea and smirks when he has nothing to do, and he actually fell into the sea when he was playing at the beach one day.
Fortunately, Fu Erniang's family is a Shuhu, that is, a boat people who specialize in pearl diving by the sea. When Li Sanjian fell into the sea, Fu Erniang's brother Fu Mo was sailing nearby, so he rescued Li Sanjian.
Li Sanjian was in a coma for three days due to drowning, and woke up after three days, which made Fu Erniang very happy, but at this time, what Li Sanjian said was completely different from before, Fu Erniang couldn't understand his words, but Li Sanjian has always been a demented child, and he speaks upside down on weekdays, and Fu Erniang is not very surprised.
Fu Erniang then sat on the edge of the bed, helped up the thin Li Sanjian, and said softly: "Jian'er, it doesn't matter, we will treat you if you are sick, and I am really your mother, I conceived and gave birth to you in October, can this be wrong?" Jian'er, are you hungry? Come, drink some gruel first. ”
Fu Erniang's natural concern made Li Sanjian even more surprised, but at this time, Li Sanjian did feel extremely hungry, so he took a few sips of the porcelain bowl handed over by Fu Erniang, and drank too fast, Li Sanjian coughed violently.
"Hey, you kid, it's still the same as when you were a child, you drink slowly, and no one robs you." Fu Erniang said with a smile.
Li Sanjian can drink porridge, which shows that Li Sanjian's health has improved, although Li Sanjian is still speaking upside down, but Fu Erniang doesn't care very much, as long as his only son is still around, this is enough, if Li Sanjian has any accidents, Fu Erniang will not be able to live at all.
"Oh... Li Sanjian said while drinking: "Are you really my mother? ”
"How can this be fake? If you don't believe me, ask your uncle. Fu Erniang then glanced at her brother Fu Mo on the side.
Fu Mo sighed and said, "Sister, it seems that Jian'er is still... It's still dementia, and I don't even know my mother. ”
"You're demented, old... I'm fine, my brain is sober. Li Sanjian was immediately unhappy when he heard Fu Mo say that he was demented, so he glared at Fu Mo and said.
"Okay, okay, my child is a normal person, where is dementia?" Seeing this, Fu Erniang hurriedly comforted.
Fu Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was the same before Li Sanjian's accident, whoever wants to say that he is demented, he will be extremely angry.
