Article 383 New Party Struggle 3
Later, after falling off the list in middle age, Li Di was determined to advance and settled in Changshe until his death.
This is the most direct manifestation of his stubborn character.
In fact, in the first few years of Yuan Younian, Li Diao went to take the exam, and he would definitely fail the list. Because, his temper is the same as that of his master Su Shi and his uncle Su Zhe, he would rather bend than bend, and he will definitely do what Su Zhe did back then, express his chest in the examination papers, and lash out at all kinds of wrong measures of the ruling dynasty. Grievances for his master and uncle.
At this point, Cai Dao also thought of this possibility afterwards, so he took the initiative to give up persuading Li Di again.
In the fourth year of Yuanyou, he left the capital with Wen Yanbo.
The gap between conservatives is getting wider and wider, to the point where it cannot be bridged.
First of all, Jia Yi, Zhu Guangting and others have long been dissatisfied because of Cheng Yi's loss of office, and the Shuo Party led by Liu Zhi also chose Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu to succeed themselves and others as prime minister, but chose Lu Dafang in Guanzhong, which they will not be convinced by anyway.
Therefore, the two parties united and took advantage of the four years of Yuanyou, and in the summer and autumn, the entire northern region of the Great Song Dynasty continued to rain, and the rivers in the region generally swelled. At this time, it is natural that the empress dowager and the little emperor who listen to the government cannot be allowed to carry this black cauldron, and the minister Lu Dafang should naturally stand up to this thunder.
As a result, the ministers of the two parties, as well as some of the imperial historians controlled by them, took this opportunity to impeach Lu Dafang.
If it continues like this, once the embankments on both sides of the Yellow River cannot be defended and a large-scale embankment breaking incident occurs, Gao Taotao will be powerless even if he wants to defend Lu.
However, the result of the matter just proves that the vision of Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu is indeed much better than that of Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, and the luck of Lu Dafang is indeed too good.
In the end, the large-scale rain in the fourth year of Yuanyou only caused the river to skyrocket, and there was no place on both sides of the Yellow River to break the embankment.
As a result, the Luo Party and the Shuo Party, which originally collapsed the two parties of the Shu Party together in history, fell under the hands of Lu Dafang alone, and there is indeed an element of luck in this. However, the reason why Gao Taotao trusts Lu Dafang so much is not without reason. In terms of political achievements, even the old Liu Zhi is not on him, and the incident in the eighth year of Yuanfeng has greatly improved Lu Dafang's reputation.
Moreover, in the ruling of the dynasty, there was also a cloth prime minister Fan Chunren, although he did not have as outstanding achievements as his father Fan Zhongyan in the local area, but he did not like to form a party, so he naturally couldn't get used to the reckless behavior of the Luo Party and the Shuo Party.
When Lu Dafang was impeached by the two parties, it was he who said a few good words for Lu Dafang in front of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.
After all, Lu Dafang has only been prime minister for just a year, and he himself has been serving as prime minister since the first year of Yuanyou, and he has not had any merits. Therefore, at this time, the rain is continuous, if you have to find someone to top the tank, it should be him Fan Chunren, not Lu Dafang or others.
So, after this incident, Liu Zhi was demoted to a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, and ordered him to leave Bianliang City immediately and go out of Yunzhou, and not long after his arrival, he was transferred to Qingzhou again.
In addition to him, Gao Taotao did not continue to punish other ministers of the Shuo Party, which was also seen by Sima Guang, who had passed away. If it weren't for that, Liu Zhi would not just be relegated to Qingzhou.
The Keluo Party is different, for Xiao Zhao Xu's original pedantic teacher - Cheng Yi, not to mention others, even Gao Tao himself is very disgusted. Cheng Yi is knowledgeable, but sometimes, he is a little too obsessed with his so-called etiquette, and it is understandable to be strict with himself, but he is still a big mouth, and he likes to talk about things that he can't see.
The condolences to Sima Guang are only one of the more important ones, they are Xing Shu and Yang Wei.
Criminal forgiveness, Zhengzhou Yangwu people.
In his early years, he worshipped Cheng Hao as his teacher, this person was extremely talented, and later had a close relationship with Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu.
Wang Anshi presided over the reform of the law, and asked about the reputation and talent of Xingshu, so he was ready to promote him and wanted to win his support for the change. Unexpectedly, Xing Shu and Sima Guang attacked and changed the law together.
When Wang Anshi learned about it, he was naturally very angry. As a result, Xingshu was impeached by those officials who were hinted at by Wang Anshi and inclined to change the law, and was finally demoted to Yanling County.
If this is the case, it can only be said that the idea of forgiveness is the same as Sima Guang, and it belongs to the conservatives.
After Wang Anshi dismissed the prime minister, he was his other in-law, Wu Chong succeeded to Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and soon transferred him to the capital, and was soon promoted to the pavilion proofreading, history museum review, and writing Zuolang.
However, Wu Chong did not stay in this position for long, and was ousted by Wang Qi and Cai Qu.
At this time, the punishment and forgiveness have undergone a great change, Wang Qi, the well-known prime minister of the three decrees, although he is the prime minister, he does not have much authority, and he is completely acting in the eyes of Song Shenzong.
So, he had always opposed the change of the law before, which angered Wang Anshi's punishment, but this time he betrayed Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu, who had always been like-minded, and took the initiative to take refuge in Cai Qu, who had always been determined to change the law.
In the face of power, friendship and ideals, Xing Shu chose power.
Forgiveness, what about your discipline?
This is probably what Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu wanted to ask about the punishment after learning about this incident!
After Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne, Xingshu thought that he had the merit of supporting, but he was only appointed as the right secretary of the wailang and the living house.
As a result, he began to be dissatisfied with Cai Qu, and always suspected that Cai Qu was the obstruction.
After that, in order to be reused, Xingshu actually wanted to honor Concubine Zhu, that is, Zhao Xu's biological mother. He has always been smart, but I don't know if I'm dizzy when this is the time.
Although Concubine Zhu is Zhao Xu's biological mother, the person who is now listening to the government is not the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager Gao Tao, who is the biological mother of Song Shenzong. Even if the Queen Mother saw her, she had to bow her head and obey her orders.
The results speak for themselves.
After the matter was revealed, Xingshu was immediately demoted to Suizhou, and later reappointed as the governor of Ruxiang and Heyang. During this period, he thought that when he was in trouble, Cai did not speak for him, and he was not rewarded for his previous meritorious service. Therefore, he repeatedly wrote to impeach Cai Qu.
Cai Qu's ending was actually doomed long ago after Song Shenzong's death. However, such a down-and-down behavior of punishment and forgiveness is very despicable.
And the other person, Yang Weike, is much more powerful than torture.
Yang Wei, the word Zi'an, is from Luoyang.
lost his father since he was a child, his mother was filial piety, he did not take the imperial examination, and devoted himself to studying.
Later, under the persuasion of his friends, Yang Wei was admitted to the Jinshi. However, after that, he did not become an official, but determined to study the scriptures wholeheartedly. However, all this is just a façade.
Yang Wei is actually the same as the same punishment.
Yang Wei's most studied at home is actually Zonghengxue, he is not only an outstanding person with outstanding oral skills, but also very rich in the ability to shut. Later, he secretly befriended Xing Shuji, in fact, it was only because they had similar interests and were famous.
After staying at home for a few years, Yang Wei used his book to meet Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing. Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were naturally happy to have a well-educated person take the initiative to join them, and immediately awarded Yang Wei the position of professor in Yunzhou.
Since then, Yang Wei has respected Wang's new learning, thinking that this is the meaning of a saint.
However, this person is talented on the surface, but he has many mistakes in his personality and ability, and his actions are capricious, so he naturally cannot be trusted by others, and therefore he is often not reused.
But Yang Wei is different, he is almost inevitable in every plan.
For example, Lu Dafang and Liu Zhi were prime ministers one after another, but they were all kind to Yang Wei, and he was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Works, and later he was promoted to the position of supervising the imperial history and serving the imperial history in the palace.
However, later, when the Luo Party and the Shuo Party joined forces to attack Lu Dafang, Yang Wei had long expected that Liu Zhi would definitely lose in this party struggle, so he took the initiative to give advice to Lu Dafang and listed Liu Zhi's ten crimes.
You know, Liu Zhi was his friend before!
Later, Su Song succeeded as prime minister, and it was this Yang Wei who used Jia Yi's letter to pull Su Song off the phase. His successor is Fan Chunren, however, this time, Yang Wei did not succeed.
Fan Chunren, as the son of Fan Zhongyan, is naturally not an ordinary person, he can be called the prime minister of cloth, not only by virtue of his father Fan Zhongyan, after becoming an official, his local political achievements are not as good as his father, but he is more than enough than the bottom, he is quiet and inactive in the locality, not greedy or harmful, at least he does not disturb the people. Moreover, he has always been cautious by nature and never forms a party.
Relying on this alone, Fan Chunren, the prime minister, has already made the empress dowager and the little emperor extremely relieved.
