Chapter 017: Taibai Jingtian, White Rainbow Runs Through the Sun
On January 15 of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the peerless traitor Cai Dao entered Beijing, and he spoke brilliantly in the court meeting at the age of six at the age of six, and argued in the Qinzheng Palace, and finally caused the important minister Gao Zunyu to be exiled to Qiongzhou, and Wang Xu, the commander of the horse, was sent to Dali, and Wang Gong, the grandson of Wang Dan, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, was demoted to Xianyou County.
At noon on the fifteenth day of each month, the sky is too white, and the rainbow runs through the sun.
The Lord is in trouble, and there are many wars.
The demon boy Cai Dao's entry into Beijing caused great changes in the world.
It is rumored that at that time, Shenzong was sick, but he led the demon boy into the palace and placed him next to the crown prince, which was really stupid.
"History of the Song Dynasty, Traitorous Ministers, Cai Dao (Zi......, Sun ...... )》
If Cai Dao can return to the future and see this record in the history of the Song Dynasty, he will definitely sue the court to sue the person who wrote the history of the Song Dynasty for serious infringement in his book.
Because the phrase "the Lord is in trouble, there are many wars" still came out of Cai Dao's mouth.
Cai Dao and his party had just walked out of the gate and had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour.
At this time, it was noon, and a strange scene suddenly appeared in the sky.
It is too white to pass through the sky, and the white rainbow runs through the sun.
Such a spectacular spectacle, Cai Dao naturally saw it, and saw it very clearly. Riding on a horse, although the Dian horse is relatively short, compared to the people who are not tall around, it is naturally not afraid of being blocked from view.
In later generations, in 2004 and 2012, Cai Dao had the opportunity to see this astronomical wonder. Unfortunately, at that time, he did not have the slightest interest in astronomy, and if he missed it, he missed it. Unless he lived for another hundred years, he would never have the chance to see this astronomical spectacle in his lifetime.
Unexpectedly, when I traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, I was able to see it with my own eyes.
However, Cai Dao did not feel a little excited at this time.
Too white to pass the day. This is what later generations called the transit of Venus. Cai Dao was not an astronomy enthusiast and did not know that this astronomical phenomenon should not have appeared in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, that is, in 1081 AD.
The Lord is in trouble, and there are many wars.
This astronomical phenomenon is infamous, and there are two most famous anecdotes.
The first is that Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and Jing Ke's assassination failed, causing the Yan Kingdom to be destroyed ahead of schedule;
Second, it was the famous Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Shimin launched a mutiny, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was forced to abdicate, and the crown princes Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed.
Taibai, that is, Venus. Venus is a minister, the sun is the king, but as a courtier, he passes the king, and his intention is to seize the lord.
Later, ancient Chinese astronomers summarized the five manifestations of disasters of this astronomical phenomenon.
1. Holy Passion
2. The difficulty of sword soldiers
3. The year of serious illness
4. The Year of the Great Flood
5. The world is declining
Worst!
It's a bad dish now.
Look at it like this, something big is going to happen in the DPRK and China!
At this time, I chose to be at this point in time when I had just entered Beijing, and the thief God and the pit system let myself fall into a huge whirlpool invisibly. This pit is deeper than the dispute between the two parties, and if one is not good, it may be shattered.
Here and now, there is such a astronomical spectacle. The ministers of the court must be well aware of its significance, and they have just experienced the tragic victory of the Five Roads Expedition, the locust plague in the counties of Hebei, and the lack of peace in the dragon body of Song Shenzong, this series of events is really in line with this celestial phenomenon. If the conservatives can give up this great opportunity and not take advantage of this to crack down on the reformers, Cai Dao dares to screw his head off and use it as a stool.
What's more, although their group entered the city at dusk yesterday, those ministers in the court, some of whom had a heart, would definitely associate this vision with themselves. With Song Shenzong's soft ears, this faint monarch is really likely to believe it!
How do you get out of this pit?
"It's a big problem now!" Cai Daoyi pulled the reins of the horse, stopped the horse, looked up at the sky, the expression on his face was cloudy, and he sighed in his heart if he was a little unlucky!
Cai Basket saw that his son-in-law stopped the horse, and he also stopped the horse, he didn't know, and he didn't understand what was happening, just silently followed Cai Dao's voice. The youngest Cai Basket saw a clue from the child's expression. Of course, he naturally couldn't understand the meaning of the strange sight in the sky. Whoever has nothing to eat and is full will tell a doll about such taboo things.
Cai Dao didn't know that his words and deeds at this moment were all in the eyes of those who cared.
When the vision appeared, most of these people knew that the scene in the sky was not a good sign, and Cai Dao said, "This is a big problem!" Since he couldn't escape from their ears, it was suddenly exposed that Cai Dao actually knew the meaning of this astronomical phenomenon.
The people of the Imperial City Division naturally knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so they immediately assigned a person to report this matter to their superiors
……
At this time, the ministers of the court, sitting in their respective offices, all received the message, and all of them witnessed the vision in the sky.
The conservative ministers are all gearing up, and they are all from Jinshi. At this time, you should write an eloquent article, take advantage of the changes in the sky, and rebuke those ministers who insist on changing the law, it is best to take this opportunity to drive all these treacherous people out of Bianliang, and it will be more perfect if they can go to Wang Gong as a companion.
And the ministers of the reform faction had solemn faces.
"The destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate." Although this is not Wang Anshi's original words, the basis for his change is roughly like this. During the Xining period, with Wang Anshi, a tall man, these ministers of the law change faction were very nourishing, but Wang Anshi had already resigned for the second time. Whether he saw through the essence of Song Shenzong, or was saddened by the untimely death of his beloved son, he no longer had any will and motivation to return to the court.
Now the ministers of the reform faction in the court, even if Song Shenzong gives them great power, they are not the original 'bad minister' Wang Anshi. has talent, but no prestige, in the court, the slightest wind and grass has to be thrown out by Song Shenzong to stand up to the thunder.
However, there is one person who is an exception. Lin Guofu, the imperial history of Fuqing, spoke out to attack Cai Dao and the Cai family at the court meeting, but he didn't want to be argued by Cai Dao and lose face. If there is no accident, this man was basically abolished at the time of this court meeting, and he has in fact been abandoned by the conservative bigwigs.
He didn't know how he left the Qinzheng Palace, and returned to the Yushi Yamen in despair, and sat in his room in a daze all the time.
However, God suddenly had a vision, and Lin Guofu immediately realized that his chance to turn over had come.
So, he immediately took out the recital, thought like a spring, and wrote a recital of more than 10,000 words, the content of the article did not mention the dispute between the reformers and the conservatives, but was full of saying that Cai Dao was the reincarnation of the demon boy, and he had just entered Beijing to cause a warning from God. Immediately go to the palace, and want to enter the palace to meet the emperor in person, and send his recital directly to the king......
……
At this time, in the Wende Palace, since returning from the Great Dynasty Meeting, Song Shenzong's mood was very peaceful, and the depression caused by the disastrous victory of the Five Roads was swept away, and the nervous spirit was greatly relieved.
At lunchtime, he actually ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
Shi Deyi, who was standing on the side, saw it in his eyes at this time and was happy in his heart.
For Shi Deyi, Song Shenzong can be said to be all he has, and for Song Shenzong, the most loyal person to him in the court is none other than Shi Deyi.
You must know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is not only an iron law among the ministers of civil and military affairs, but also in the group of eunuchs, it is particularly obvious. A while ago, because of the five-way summer incident, Song Shenzong actually lacked a good dragon body, and he lost any appetite, and in the long run, the official family's body had to collapse. However, at that time, who could persuade the officials?
In the palace, he acted as the Imperial City Division, the largest spy agency in the Great Song Dynasty, although the rank of the inner servants was not the highest, but the power was the greatest. Above him, there is also a person who is known to the province, and that is the close eunuch of the Empress Dowager Gao. If there is a good thing in the official family, he knows that there will definitely be no good end, and the Empress Dowager Gao and the head of the conservative faction, Sima Guang, have always looked at him unpleasantly.
To tell the truth, at the court meeting, Cai Dao dared to directly accuse Song Shenzong of being a faint monarch in person.
At that time, Shi Deyi gritted his teeth with hatred for this doll, and he couldn't wait to peel this little thing alive. But who would have thought that instead of being angry, the official family did not condemn him, but gave him a very rich reward. It's just that I don't know what the doll thinks, and I didn't accept the reward.
I really didn't expect that the words that I was just amusing at the beginning could have such a good effect today. If that doll really becomes the companion of Wang Zhao of Yan'an County, he will have a chance to turn over in the future. Now, I can only hope that he can change his mind and accept the reward of the officials.
……
After lunch, Song Shenzong dealt with the twists and turns for a while, and was ready to re-deal with the two cases of Wulu Vaxia and Wutai Shi according to Cai Dao's ideas. However, as the emperor, of course Song Shenzong will not completely change it according to Cai Dao, a little doll. As soon as he had studied the ink and was about to write the holy decree, he heard the little yellow door on duty outside come in and report that the Taishi Bureau ordered all the officials of the Taishi Bureau to ask for a meeting outside the temple gate.
At this time, the Taishi Bureau was the Qin Tianjian in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was also called this name in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, but when Yuanfeng was restructured, all the original names were just unified into the Taishi Bureau. The power of this department is not very large, and the official position is also very low, but the responsibilities of the officials of this department are not big or small, but they are not small at all. All astronomical and calendar laws such as solar and lunar eclipses are under the management of the Taishi Bureau. Since the Taishi Bureau ordered that since the officials of its department arrived, something big must have happened.
Song Shenzong hurriedly asked the little yellow gate to beckon a group of officials to enter the Wende Palace.
As soon as everyone in the Taishi Bureau entered the Wende Palace, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. Too white through the sky, white rainbow through the sun, disaster is coming! ”
"What?" After hearing this, Song Shenzong didn't believe it, and quickly got up from the couch, not even bothering to wear the dragon boots, so he ran barefoot from the dragon couch to the door of the main hall.
Sure enough, but why?
