read_content_up; During the period when Lin Zhao was envoy to Hehuang and Tibet, a lot happened in the Great Song Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Seedlings Law, as well as other new laws and regulations, have been implemented nationwide, but they have also met with resistance and opposition from many important figures.
For example, in Qingzhou on Jingdong Road, half a year after the implementation of the Seedlings Law, Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the Prefecture, decisively ordered that the Seedlings Law would not be continued in the second half of the year.
Ouyang Xiu's influence in the Great Song Shilin and officialdom is self-evident, you must know that he is the chief examiner of the famous Jiayou two-year Dragon and Tiger List. There were many young leaders in the Great Song Dynasty, and many officials at all levels could be said to be his protégés.
In addition, he led the ancient literature movement and was a model for the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, and his every move attracted much attention and had a huge impact. After Ouyang Xiu expressed his stance on the Qingmiao Law, the government and the opposition once again set off a wind of opposition to the Qingmiao Law, and for a while, Wang Anshi was under great pressure and even more angry.
However, Ouyang Xiude is highly respected, and Wang Anshi can't help it at all!
This is just the beginning, and then Fan Chunren, the son of Fan Zhongyan, was restless again, and also came out to oppose the Qingmiao Law.
Fan Chunren had already written against it before, and his rhetoric was fierce, but he was suppressed by Emperor Zhao Ji, and this time he jumped out of a high-profile opposition.
In view of Fan Zhongyan's prestige and contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Ji did not have the same knowledge as him. also gave Fan Chunren a position as a local high-ranking official, just to transfer him out of Bianjing, and at the same time it was a kind of transaction, suggesting that he keep his mouth shut.
However, Fan Chunren did not give face at all, and after becoming a transit envoy in Chengdu, he immediately declared that the new law was not allowed to be implemented within the scope of his jurisdiction.
The envoy was a high-ranking official in charge of local finance, and Fan Chunren had jurisdiction over almost the entire Sichuan-Shu region. Such a move will naturally have a much greater impact.
The actions of these two people undoubtedly gave Wang Anshi a huge obstruction, and it was a big blow to Xining's new law. Emperor Zhao Ji was also very helpless, but the blow had become accustomed to nature, and his mentality was quite stable. Just as he was about to intervene, there was smoke in the northwest, which made him have to divert his attention......
In mid-August, Western Xia invaded Huanqing Road.
In August of the third year of Xining, the Xia people invaded Dashun City, and Li Fugui of Gyeongju gave Li Xin the jurisdiction of Huanqing Road and Gyeongju East Road to inspect Liu Fu and prison Chongyong to fight, and the soldiers were defeated.
Li Fugui claimed that his subordinates violated his moderation and beheaded Li Xin and Liu Fu, and Chong Yong was also imprisoned by him. This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Great Song Dynasty.
The first is the denunciation of the Western Xia, after all, good relations between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have just been restored. Li Bingchang of Western Xia had just surrendered to the Song Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the Great Song Emperor, and the mutual market in the frontier had only recently recovered.
At this time, the Western Xia was rash, where did the face of the Great Song Dynasty go?
Obviously, it is a practice of doing one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back, which is very hateful. What's more, Western Xia is still at this sensitive time, what kind of marriage is it with Hehuang Tubo, with ill intentions!
The Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were very dissatisfied with this, and it stands to reason that they should crusade against Western Xia, if it was in the past, the clamor would be very high. But this time, except for a few other people, the Great Song Dynasty was almost silent, and the ministers were unanimously silent......
There is no other reason, summer phobia, not wrong at all!
Before the crusade, the Northwest Frontier Army was already fighting back, but the situation was far from satisfactory.
Gyeongju Li Fugui's counterattack actually failed, and the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers only felt that their faces were even more gloomy, and at the same time, their confidence in them was also greatly bruised.
After all, Li Fugui and Chong Yong's reputations are not small, and Huanqing Road seems to be a border guard!
As a result, the attention of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty changed, and they turned to focus on responsibility.
Especially when you fail, the more you need a reasonable explanation, that is, you have to find someone to take responsibility and give an explanation to the world.
So, according to Li Fugui, these generals who did not obey orders were pushed to the forefront and became the culprits. Li Xin and Liu Fuhe deserved to die, and even involved the famous members of the Qingjian City clan in the Western Army.
Chong Yong, the fourth son of the famous general Chong Shiheng of the Northern Song Dynasty, served as a prisoner under Li Fugui's account.
After the news of the defeat came out, he was imprisoned by Li Fugui, if it weren't for his special background, Li Fugui would have to take into account the influence of the Chong family, but he was afraid that Chong Yong would have been the same as the other two brothers and followed Emperor Renzong underground.
But this is not a matter, Li Fugui can't kill Chongyong, but after reporting to the imperial court, it's a different matter.
Emperor Zhao Jilongyan was furious, and the accusations of the officials were even more surging, and there was a great tendency to kill the seeds and then quickly.
Fortunately, it was at this time that a piece of news came.
It is claimed that Chong Yong and others may have been wronged, and that the defeat in Gyeongju was due to Li Fugui himself taking the enemy lightly and rashly attacking. After the defeat, he framed others in order to shirk responsibility.
When the news reached Bianjing, there was an uproar!
Is it the sophistry of the defeated generals? Or did Li Fugui deceive his superiors and subordinates and frame others? For a while, there were different opinions, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion.
This matter has received widespread attention, in addition to the war in the northwest and the special status of Li Fugui and Chong Yong. is also because of the relationship between Li Fugui and Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the current dynasty.
The two met in their early years, almost because of confidants, and they had a great friendship. Li Fugui was able to mix like a fish in water in the Northwest Army, and to a certain extent, it was also related to Wang Xianggong's support and care.
Wang Anshi has long had the heart of recovering the northwest, so it is not surprising that he has people he knows and even cronies in the army. Li Fugui, who has a close relationship with him, naturally became the best choice.
I don't know if it's because he has a backer, so Li Fugui is extremely arrogant and proud. Or is it because he has a lot of relationship with the Xianggong, so he is constantly suspicious and criticized......
Maybe it's groundless, or maybe it's no wind and no waves. In short, it is reasonable that such a big incident has happened in the northwest, which has aroused suspicion and discussion from all sides.
What's really going on? This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about. There are different opinions and all kinds of suspicions, but it is better to directly investigate the truth.
Originally, Shaanxi Xuanfu sent Han Jiang to investigate the most suitable, but his position and rank were undoubtedly the most suitable, after all, the matter was in Shaanxi No. 4/Road.
However, the relationship between the Han Jiang brothers and Wang Anshi is relatively close, and it is inevitable that they will be biased and unconvincing.
At the same time, Zhao Ji also seemed to be a little uneasy, especially when it came to military affairs. After thinking about it, I still need to send a confidant to understand the situation......
But who will be sent? Zhao Ji was dead for a long time, and when his eyes finally fell on the northwest map, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
Isn't Lin Zhao in the northwest! According to the time, it will also be time to return from Hehuang Tubo. Let him stop by and take a trip to Huanqing Road to secretly understand the situation, it should still be possible.
Zhao Ji thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote down a holy decree......
Looking at the first turn of the river in the northwest, Zhao Ji's eyes were full of anticipation, and he muttered to himself: "I don't know what the situation of the envoy Hehuang is?" Will it bring me any surprises? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chai Minyan and the eldest princess Zhao Fukang were walking in the palace, and overheard the chamberlain mention: There is an accident in the northwest.
Hearing the word "northwest", Chai Minyan suddenly became a little nervous.
Zhao Fukang just smiled when she saw this, she was a person from the past, and she fully understood Chai Minyan's mentality. The first beauty in Bianjing, who is in love for the first time, how can she hide from her eyes?
Recently, Zhao Fukang's condition has improved a lot, and his mood has gradually brightened. It has gradually begun to show signs of healing from the place where the oil has run out and the lamps have dried up.
A big reason may lie in Chai Minyan's ignorant feelings. Zhao Fukang seemed to see his own shadow in her. At the same time, a lot of feelings were transferred to Chai Minyan, hoping that she could be happy...... At the same time, my mood began to gradually improve......
Chai Minyan was also treated as a guest by the Empress Dowager, and was forbidden to enter and leave the palace at will, and was treated well......
"Don't worry, I've already inquired, it was Xixia who had an accident, and he is still in Tibet!" Zhao Fukang laughed, it was a joke and a comfort.
"Oh!" Chai Minyan nodded lightly and did not speak.
Zhao Fukang said again: "Also, I asked by the way, he will come in about a little more than a month." ”
"Oh!" Chai Minyan was a little shy, but there was also a kind of longing and concern in his eyes.
"Min Yan, if you really like it, when he comes back, I'll help you propose?" Zhao Fukang said with a smile: "It's really not good, it's okay to let Niangniang (the Queen Mother) help you get married?" ”
"Princess......" Chai Minyan was really a little shy this time.
Speaking of this, Zhao Fukang asked softly; "By the way, what is the background of this Lin Zhao? Where are the people? Is there anyone else in the house? ”
Zhao Fukang's way of checking the household registration, Chai Minyan obviously misunderstood, thinking that the princess would ask about the birthday or something next, and immediately blushed slightly and shook her head again and again......
Zhao Fukang smiled: "Don't misunderstand, I always feel that Lin Zhao is very familiar, but I can't remember it." A few days ago, I wondered if I had seen an elder who looked similar to him, so I asked this question. ”
Chai Minyan pondered for a moment and said: "He seems to be from Jiangning, his parents have been gone for a long time, and he has been raised by his uncle since he was a child. At the beginning, he used to be a scholar of the Meng family, and later he had the achievements of today......"
Recently, as long as they have to leave the palace, Chai Minyan will always go to see Mu Sihong, they have become close friends, and Lin Zhao is naturally the topic they talk about the most. Chai Minyan learned these things from Mu Sihong's mouth.
Early death of parents? Jiangning Meng's family? The eldest princess Zhao Fukang lowered her head and pondered as she walked. If it was just like this, it stands to reason that it would be impossible for him to have a few meetings with Lin Zhao or his family.
But why does it feel so familiar? There is also a lingering feeling, which is very kind, which makes Zhao Fukang very curious and incomprehensible.
While walking, I kept thinking about it in my head!
Unexpectedly, when he turned a corner, someone suddenly came to him, interrupting Zhao Fukang's already vague thinking...... (To be continued.) )
