Yang Yi and Zhang Dian were in the pavilion by the pool, talking about the matter of the Tongwen Pavilion, and saw Zhang Yao bring Zhang Shangying and He Shikuan in, the two were the chief judges of the Tongwen Pavilion, this time they failed to find out the conclusive evidence, and their faces were not very good.

Zhang Dian glanced at Zhang Shangying, frowned and asked, "Why is Tianjue like this?" If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

Zhang Shangying stopped the cup and smiled coldly: "Does Xianggong Zhang know who I met today?" What a coincidence! On the way here, I happened to meet Shi Manshu, a staff member of Zeng Bu, who was coming out of Wang Xu's house, and it is said that he fell in love with Wang Xu's calligraphy and painting. ”

It is Wang Xu, Yang Yi's heart can't help but move, Zeng Bu's staff likes Wang Xu's calligraphy and painting, this seems to be an ordinary thing, it is difficult to ensure that there is no selfish matter, as far as he knows, in the original history, it was Zeng Bu who was the first to echo the Empress Dowager Xiang, so that Zhao Ji was able to ascend the throne.

Yang Yi firmly believes that the seemingly accidental events in this world have inevitable factors at play.

He Shikuan said: "Brother Tianjue is just afraid that he is too sensitive, Wang Shu is indeed unique in terms of calligraphy and painting, and as far as I know, Shi Manshu is indeed a person who likes calligraphy and painting, Wang Shu is just an idle horse captain, and has been robbed of the title, Shi Manshu has dealings with him, why make a fuss?" ”

Indeed, He Shikuan's words sound very reasonable, one is a staff member, and the other is a former lieutenant who has no power or position, and the two have some contacts because of their common hobbies, which is very common; I think that at the beginning, Zhang Dian not only became friends with Su Shi, but also served as a 'tutor' for Liu Zhi's son.

Zhang Dian was silent, and now it can be said that it is the moment that determines the life and death of the old and new parties, and standing in his position, he must have the vision to see everything, the ability to grasp the overall situation, and put an end to all possible hidden dangers.

Shi Manshu and Wang Xu's exchanges, although it can't explain anything, but we must be careful to take precautions, Zeng Bu is now a privy envoy, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the military, once such a figure deviates from the new party, the henchmen who are attached to him will inevitably look to the scenery, and it will be fatal to the current new party.

Now that Chang is in the court, Zeng Bu can almost fight against Zhang Dan, and without definite evidence, he can't be moved at all, otherwise the new party will be in chaos, and without the old party counterattacking, the new party itself may fall apart and bite into a ball.

It's really a house leak that happens to rain for days!

Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, Zhang Xianggong, Wang Shu has always been friendly with the King of Suining, and the King of Suining has to be the most popular with the Queen Mother, the most important thing now is to immediately find out what is going on between the King of Suining and the Longyou Palace, otherwise we may fall into death without knowing it." ”

Zhang Dian glanced at everyone seated, and seeing that Zhang Shangying and they had no objections, he immediately summoned his staff member Yu Tao and ordered the matter to continue.

If you want to check the palace of Longyou and the king of Suining, it is natural to let Jiao Shou and Liu Ying do it, as they are all known to the province of the inner servants, and the Imperial City Division is under their control.

After this incident, everyone's mood became even heavier, and Yang Yi didn't dare to be careless, and he asked about the follow-up arrangements of the Tongwen Pavilion one by one; The arrangement of Zhang Dian and others is roughly like this: first let Jiao Shou, Liu Ying, and Liu Guifei blow the wind to Zhao Xu, arousing Zhao Xu's new hatred and old hatred for Gao Tao and Empress Dowager Xiang; Although Zhang Shiliang's confession did not clearly indicate that Gao Taotao had the intention of abolishing Zhao Xu, it pointed out that Chen Yan had colluded with Sima Guang, Liu Zhi and others to abolish the establishment, and Chen Yan was Gao Taotao's personal eunuch, which achieved the effect of insinuating Gao Taotao's intention to abolish Zhao Xu.

Although it is unfair to do so, is the old party very upright?

When Wang Anshi was in power, he never engaged in politics/persecution. For the upper echelons of the old party, it is even more of a high-ranking official; Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo lived a fairy-like life in Luoyang, so that they could guide the country with pride and lead the old party against the new party.

As soon as Sima Guang came to power, he carried out political persecution against the New Party, and the New Party was beaten to the point that there was nothing left.

Especially in the Yuanfeng list, just because of the difference in political views, they labeled the new party as traitors, and announced the list to the world, opening the door to the real party struggle, this despicable means, even if it dates back to the Neolithic Age, is unseen and unheard of.

Because of Li Ding's personal grudges, the Wutai poetry prison where he persecuted Su Shi was infinitely magnified, even after a thousand years, it is still almost universally known; In addition to Prime Minister Tsai Cheng, almost all members of the new party were implicated in the Chegaiting poetry case carried out by the old party.

Li Ding is only targeting Su Shi alone, or because Su Shi repeatedly satirized Li Ding on the matter of Li Ding's disobedience to his mother's filial piety, the whole thing has a strong personal vendetta color, not to mention mass political persecution.

The Chegaiting poetry case carried out by the old party was degraded one by one according to the list of Yuanfeng lists, and almost all the members of the new party were spared, and such a huge political/political persecution was deliberately downplayed; Compared with Wutai Poetry Prison, there are very few people who know about the Chegaiting Poetry Case and the Yuanfeng List, why is this?

After the old party finished fighting the new party, it was not enjoyable, and they themselves were divided into several factions to continue fighting, tearing each other down, catching each other, kicking and beating, it was really more than life, and the battle was endless!

This group of people has made the government and the opposition into a miasma, and they have become the gentlemen recognized by later generations in history, where are their gentlemen?

After the repeal of the new law, during the nine years of Yuan You, infighting and party strife became almost all the work of these gentlemen, as described in the Enke test question from Li Qingchen:

Since the Yuan You imperial examination has been restored to mainly poetry and songs, the selected jinshi are mostly rhetorical and have no practical ability; The abolition of the Seedlings Law, the Chang Ping and other institutions that benefit the people have not been improved, making the people even more difficult; The court council law is good or bad, and there is no result for nine years, making a mess of the service law; The Yellow River was diverted, and whether it should be diverted back to the east or along it to the north has been debated for nine years, causing floods every year; ceded land to curry favor with the Western Xia, but the result was counterproductive, and the Western Xia became even more arrogant, raising troops to attack the Song Dynasty as many as 43 times in nine years; The abandonment of tax profits is said to be a benefit to the people, and industry and commerce have stagnated and declined.

Li Qingchen's Enke test question is an ironclad fact that summarizes the work of this group of gentlemen in the ninth year of Yuan You; In addition, when Yuanfeng was restructured, the imperial court had already laid off some officials, and as a result, as soon as the old party came to power, in order to control the court situation, they recruited a large number of these laid off officials, and the new party collapsed.

Just giving these people money will make the court breathless, and the old party itself is not good at managing money, what should I do? Only layoffs again.

But it is easy to recruit and difficult to layoff, Lu Dafang revealed the meaning of layoffs, and Liu Zhi, the second minister, immediately turned against him, and a large number of old party officials formed gangs and factions, and reported to the imperial envoy together, who dares to touch my cheese, directly find you to fight hard, come on!

made Gao Tao and Lu Dafang tremble, what should I do? Cut, so many people are looking for you desperately; Without cutting, the treasury even stole rats.

In the end, the genius Su Zhe gave an idea: don't make hard layoffs first, and at the same time brake urgently, don't stuff people into various departments, and wait for the existing officials to grow old and can't do it, and if you are done, it will be equivalent to the success of the layoff!

I love it all now! Everyone said that Su Zhe was simply a genius who saved the world.

What the fuck is this?

There is no such thing as retirement at the age of 60 in these years, and when these people die of old age, what will they wait for? Twenty years? Thirty years?

By then, the Northern Song Dynasty would have perished! I want you to cut a birdman!

Politics, military, imperial examinations, military law, official governance, finance, river defense, and diplomacy have all made a mess, why can such a group of people who only know infighting become recognized gentlemen in later generations?

It's very simple, history is written by their disciples and grandchildren, and from the fact that they praised Gao Tao as 'Female Zhong Yao Shun', we know how subjective the history books written by these people are!

Yang Yi believes that with these gentlemen who are tactful to the outside and ruthless to the inside, there is no need to talk too much about fairness!

And don't forget, politics is always dirty!

Done!

Mean, shameless, insinuation, a tough life doesn't need to be explained!

Yang Yizheng used his brains to repeatedly comb through the thousand-year history after the Northern Song Dynasty, hoping to steal a few more damaging ideas, turn these gentlemen into skirts, and hang them on the wall for exhibition. Zhang Yao ran in at this time and shouted, "Uncle Yang! The people in your family say that there are 100,000 urgent things to see you! The little nephew has already taken people to the flower hall in front, Uncle Yang hurry over to meet him! ”

100,000 urgent? Using this word, Yang Yi didn't dare to slack off, confessed to Zhang Dian and the others, and immediately walked quickly to the front hall.

Guo Erlang was out of breath in the front hall, and when he saw Yang Yi, he immediately bowed down, and said urgently: "Big official, a large number of people in Chenliu County have gathered together, and it is likely to cause a riot, Han Dongjia asked me to report to the big official urgently, saying that this may be someone instigating ....... behind my back."

"Stop!" Yang Yi was confused when he heard this, glared at the incoherent Guo Erlang and said, "Pick up the important ones, hurry up and explain what is going on." ”

Guo Erlang swallowed his saliva, and after re-clearing his thoughts, he brought the matter of Chen Liu's affairs together, the more Yang Yi listened, the more shocked he became, and when he heard that this matter actually involved Shang Qingren of Longyou Palace, he immediately turned around and ran out of the hall to the pavilion.

Conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy!

And coincidentally, it happened near Gyeonggi, just as the New Party was about to strike its final blow, and Yang Yi would rather believe that pie would fall from the sky than that it was not a conspiracy.

Seeing that Yang Yi, who had always been calm, was rushing over, Zhang Dian and the others couldn't help but be surprised and stood up one after another.

"Zhang Xianggong, the big thing is not good, the gentry of Chenliu County is still Qingya, refusing to return the land sent by the people of 10,000 acres, and now thousands of people are gathering in Chenliu City, and are instigated, large-scale riots may occur at any time, Shang Qingya's second brother is Shang Qingren, the servant of Longyou Palace, I am afraid there is another conspiracy in the middle, Chen Liuzhi County Qian Long pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not report to the court, damn it......"

"Nope! Qian Long has already reported, and the seal claims that since the Qingzhang field, Chen Liu's public opinion is boiling, and there is a fear that there will be chaos and people gathering to make trouble, and there is no mention of the specific details of Chen Liu, but blindly asks the court to suspend the measurement of the land in order to slow down the situation. It seems that Qianlong has been prepared for a long time! "Zhang's face is so cold that he can scrape off a layer of ice!

When Yang Yi heard this, he was even more sure that this was a well-planned conspiracy.

Now there are not a few armed fights in various places because of the clearing of the land, Zhang Dian receives this kind of recital every day, and there are many people who are more fierce than Qian Long said, how can the imperial court send people to investigate them one by one?

Qian Long did not mention the details of the people's feelings, blindly covered them up with the words of 'public opinion boiling', and then strongly demanded that the land clearance be stopped, which was clearly deliberately misunderstood by the imperial court, thinking that he was exaggerating the facts and intending to prevent the implementation of the new policy, and if something happened in the future, he could use this to get away with it.

"Zhang Xianggong, now the first thing is to stabilize the situation in Chenliu and prevent large-scale riots from happening, to do this, the only way to do this is to quickly dispatch nearby garrisons to control Chenliu, Zhang Xianggong, be fast!"

Zhang Dian didn't even have time to change his official uniform, and immediately went straight to the palace, and Yang Yi and the three of them also followed, at this moment of construction, once there was a large-scale riot near Gyeonggi due to the measurement of land, the whole pond water will be immediately turbidized, not to mention chasing after the abolition of Gao Tao, the new party will not fall into the embattled situation!

Xiang Empress Dowager, ruthless enough!

Politics, as expected, is only more despicable, not the most despicable!
