In the spring of the third year of Dao, Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi died, reigning for twenty-one years, at the age of fifty-eight

The crown prince Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-nine and was Song Zhenzong

Because all the problems of the imperial court were on the death of Zhao Guangyi and the succession of Zhao Heng to the throne, the resignation of Xin Yuanbo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was in vain

In the spring of the third year of the Dao, Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne, and the main presiding work was actually handed over to Gu Junchu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were angry, and they wrote letters one after another, asking for Gu Junchu to be replaced, but many of the twists and turns were mud cows entering the water and not even hearing the sound

Xin Yuanbo's work in the Ministry of Rites completely stood aside

There are also people who are dissatisfied with righteous indignation in the Ministry of Rites, such as Xue Shuangchen, Wu Jifeng and others, half a month after the Ministry of Rites jointly signed the book, they continued to write the book, demanding that the new emperor should follow the Taoist system, continue the tradition of the Ministry of Rites, and should not favor the villain

The emperor's teacher, the crown prince and the young master Li Xin, called Gu Junchu for a meeting, at that time, the four tigers of Qianmen were also present, Gu Junchu arrived at the young master's mansion, Yuan Junhe showed Xue Shuangchen's recital to Gu Junchu, and told him that this was the prince who washed the horse Qian Jing saw first, intercepted it for you to see, and asked Gu Shilang what you want to do after seeing this recital

Regarding the joint letter of the Ministry of Rites to punish Gu Junchu, Emperor Zhao Heng has seen it, and everyone knows that the Ministry of Rites is a bunch of idle eaters, the so-called not subordinate, overstepping, just not accustomed to Gu Junchu's good work

Since then, the Ministry of Rites has been sent to the crown prince and young master Li Xin, and to the Chinese book senator Qian Jing, and Zhao Heng no longer cares

Gu Junchu had long known that the Ministry of Rites was full of pink eye, and they were all looking for trouble for themselves, but he really couldn't imagine that there were still people who hated themselves so much and wanted to punish themselves, which was the punishment only for officials of the Ministry of Rites who committed the crime of disrespecting etiquette

Gu Junchu gave Qian Jing, Li Xin kowtowed, wept, and said, thank my father-in-law for the grace of the young master for saving his life, from now on, I will be your pawn, what you say, I will do it

Li Xin called Gu Junchu to his side and whispered a few words, Gu Junchu showed a smiling face, and when he went home, Gu Junchu drafted a recital, telling Xue Shuangchen not to go to work on the hour in the Ministry of Rites, not to get off work on the hour, and to go to work for no reason to drink cold tea, and not to set an example in the Ministry of Rites, and asked Xue Shuangchen to be transferred from his job to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi

On the second day, the emperor approved it and asked Xue Shuangchen to guard the tomb for Emperor Zhao Guangyi

This matter spread to the Ministry of Rites, causing an uproar, and they all shouted that Xue Zhongshu was letting the villain give Yin, and Wu Jifeng led the collective letter, asking Emperor Zhao Heng to withdraw his order and sentence Gu Junchu to guard the filial piety tomb

According to Gu Junchu's thoughts, he couldn't get along in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and it was good to be able to go to the mausoleum

Who knows, on the third day of the book, the emperor issued an edict and ordered Wu Jifeng, who took the lead in playing the signature, to be fined for half a year, and bask in the sun for an hour at noon every day

Seeing that his two beloved disciples had been hacked, Xin Yuanbo couldn't sit still, so he found Song Qi, who was the prime minister at the time, and told him about it, and then said that his officials of the Ministry of Rites were subjected to such a fate, which was a big loss for the court in history

Regarding the Ministry of Rites since Gu Junchu was valued, how did the Ministry of Rites handle Gu Junchu, the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that Song Qi looked down on Xin Yuanbo as a person, but he could only come out out of face, and he played to the emperor the next day, and the court also expressed his position, Xue Shuangchen and Wu Jifeng of the Ministry of Rites are rectal people, and they are all pillars of the court, although they may be wrong in speaking and doing things, but after all, they are officials of the Ministry of Rites of the court, and I hope that the emperor will not easily believe in villains

Emperor Zhao Heng was silent, but in the court, he sent the judgment to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and ordered them to inspect it, and his judgment could be arbitrary

The ministry issued a document, and the emperor's ruling was not wrong

Zhao Heng announced at the court meeting that this was the sentence, Xue Shuangchen went to guard the imperial mausoleum, and Wu Jifeng was fined for half a year

Xin Yuanbo was furious, it has been a month since he handed in his resignation, and the emperor did not approve it, and now the emperor is using his own people again, obviously not taking himself seriously

He went to beg the current crown prince to write Wang Siyuan, so that Wang Siyuan could say a few good words by the emperor's side, and not punish his two apprentices so ruthlessly

Wang Siyuan could only agree, and said to Emperor Zhao Heng that Zhao Heng was in the imperial garden with his concubine Li in the garden, and when he heard Wang Siyuan say this, he was angry, and he threw his sleeves and said, I am the Son of Heaven today, and I have the final say in everything in the court, which one are you? Again, that is the criminal law sentenced by the officials of the ministry, and now you are talking too much!

Removed Wang Siyuan from the post of eunuch and knelt for half an hour

After Xin Yuanbo learned about this, he scolded in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and signed the document of the Ministry of Rites in his own name, and most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites signed

Prime Minister Song Qi was also angry, as soon as Wang Siyuan poured his former ministers, even if the power of his former ministers in the inner court was gone, even if he lost these old ministers of Zhao Guangyi, he was also unwilling, and he signed a joint letter with other officials

This matter caused a stir again, Cai Yuanlang is a member of the military department, and he had nothing to do with this dumping, but out of righteous indignation, out of friendship between teachers and students, he still signed the joint letter

Originally, according to Cai Yuanlang's meaning, it was to find an explanation for Xue Shuangchen and Wu Jifeng, but the Ministry of Rites and the Prime Minister came forward, and it would be wrong to just find an explanation

From a question of law, it has become a war of life and death

Xue Shuangchen heard that his mentor Xin Yuanbo was also unwilling to come forward for himself, and in the place where he was guarding the mausoleum, he wrote a note, and the articles were all scolding Gu Junchu for being misbehaving and being an unruly minister, and he also bluntly stated, in this world, there are words like me without him, and there is him without me

It was originally a lawsuit to discuss the law, but it evolved into a party dispute with you without me, with me without you

Emperor Zhao Heng was furious and handed over all the information about the case to Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and the Four Law Divisions for deliberation

After half a month of difficult evidence collection and repeated investigations, strong evidence was finally produced

Gu Junchu carried out sacrificial and blessing activities in accordance with the orders of the former emperor Zhao Guangyi and in accordance with the law, and did not overstep his authority at all

Zhao Heng then launched a coup d'état, appointed the crown prince Li Xin as the prime minister, removed the prime minister Song Qi from all positions inside and outside the court, and ordered him to retire; Gu Junchu was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xin Yuanbo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was dismissed from all positions; Prince Bingbi Wang Siyuan punished Zhao Guangyi mausoleum to guard the tomb; punished, Xue Shuangchen, who was also guarding the mausoleum, was sentenced and his feet were cut off; Wu Jifeng was fined for one year and was not allowed to hold important positions from now on

In the previous dynasty, Zhao Guangyi's old forces have been stripped of their rights since then, and Zhao Heng's princeling team won a complete victory

All the mistakes were due to the fact that Xin Yuanbo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not tolerate people, which led to the loss of this palace fight

Cai Yuanlong, the former young master of the scholars, did not exempt himself from the leisure of the party, fined the court staff twenty, and issued Dingzhou
