Xia Zhu's return to Beijing
The clothes are official uniforms, which is not a choice. It is an official residence, which is much the same. Speak of his walk and his food. Xia Zhu is very talented, and when he wakes up every morning, his whole body is as cold as ice, and he has to be hugged by a beautiful girl for a long time before he will gradually recover. It was later confirmed that it had something to do with what he ate. He had to drink two bowls of stalactite porridge every day, which was poisonous. Its toxicity is similar to the "five stone powder" eaten by the scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the northern and southern dynasties, and the body is hot and cold, and various measures must be used to restore the ability to live normally... As for the benefits, it is said that he is happy like a fairy, similar to smoking opium and heroin...
Behavior is the most distinctive aspect of Xia Zhu. When he went out, he wanted to connect two luxury carriages, and cover them with a brocade tent worth thousands of taels of silver in the middle, forming an ultra-luxury elongated RV. Xia Zhu lay inside and swaggered through the market, even if he was on the road, it was the same as the warm fragrant nephrite at home, Luo Qi Cong...
It's a pity that the good days didn't last long, and in less than two years, he was sent to the front line due to the outbreak of the Song-Xia War. My beautiful and enjoyable life in Kyoto - when will I return to your arms? Since then, this wish has run through the heart of Lord Xia and has become the biggest goal he pursues. But unfortunately, there are always reasons or that prevent him from achieving it... Among them is a rare collaboration between the Goshidai and the Governor.
Originally, at the beginning of the new policy, Fan Zhongyan could completely attribute the Yushitai to his own power, because the relationship between Wang Gongchen, the prefect of the Yushitai, and Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the Imperial Observatory, was really extraordinary. First of all, the two were the same year. That year, Ouyang Xiu successfully won the provincial yuan, and at a glance, no one could compare with him in the level of candidates at that time. Very happy, he made himself a new dress, and waited for the palace test to succeed, wearing the new clothes as the champion. But I was too happy, and I didn't know where Wang Gongchen jumped out, so he left without saying a word, putting on his new clothes. Ouyang Xiu was a little confused, but forget it, it's just a piece of clothing. With this new dress was snatched away. And his champion. In the palace examination, Ouyang Xiu only ranked 14th. Except for the same year, the two are still brothers-in-law. Their father-in-law is Xue Kui, who participated in politics from oil, the Xue family has five golden flowers, Ouyang Xiu is married to the fourth lady, Wang Gongchen is brother-in-law, and he is married to the third miss. But this is just the beginning, Miss Xue San died very early, and Wang Gongchen welcomed Miss Fifth into the door again. At that time, there was a rumor in the capital that "the old son-in-law is the new son-in-law, and the eldest aunt is the younger brother-in-law"
This is an ideal work-life relationship, seeing the two major official systems of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhiyuan merged. The power of impeachment has reached an unprecedented level, and the worst nightmare of the Great Song Dynasty officials is about to begin? Exactly! Lord Xia bore the brunt and became the only victim!
It was 1043, LĂź Yijian had a stroke and went into the wilderness, and the superstructure of the Great Song Dynasty was adjusted a total of 3 times in half a year. And for the first time, Xia Zhu was appointed as a privy envoy.
Top high-ranking official, Kaifeng Beijing, many years of dream has finally come true! Xia Zhu hurried back, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was on his way. The two major systems of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court were dispatched, and a total of 11 impeachment concerts were performed... Xia Zhu is getting closer and closer to the capital, and the sense of crisis and anger of the officials is getting deeper and deeper...
One day, Yu Jing of the Zhiyuan first came out. Play to his chat expertise. A stone tower was struck by lightning, and he could talk for more than two hours, how long can you think he can talk about this kind of impeachment matter? And so the chat continued, and it continued... Until Zhao Zhen was physically exhausted, he decided to retreat from the dynasty. At this time, the chief of the Imperial Historical Observatory personally stepped out. A decisive blow came, and he swooped down, and at this time he was not alone. Kou Zhun possessed his soul at this moment, and Wang Gongchen inherited the glorious tradition! He grabbed the emperor's robe and didn't let go: Boss, you better change your mind!
There's no way, Zhao Zhen is very sorry: Lord Xia, don't go into the city, go directly to Bozhou to report! Xia Zhu then created the fastest demotion speed in history: before he could report for duty, he was driven away!
After the last year, Xia Zhu still entered the capital, the reason is very personal, I am old, I went to Bozhou to catch up so far, will I not be able to rest? During the break, he got all the impeachment materials in his hands and read them one by one, his heart was tumbling, his anger was rising, Xia Zhu was a person who cherished his reputation and was especially sensitive in his heart. His life experience: an abandoned baby, he is destined to be as careful as a hair, and he can't be stimulated... What more of an insult!
He wrote more than 10,000 words overnight to refute the impeachments. But when you hand it in, you get double the humiliation. The gentlemen of the New Deal replied, "If you want to be loyal and diligent, and you can do slander and practice", you don't talk nonsense and do something practical to wash away the infamy!
Xia Zhu was stunned, he didn't understand, this is a gentleman? The gentleman talks about the way of loyalty and forgiveness, such a fierce and mean, taking the officials of the same dynasty as enemies, what kind of gentleman is this... He had the heart to endure it, but at this moment, another super famous scholar in the history of the Song Dynasty broke out, and this person wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages, nailing Xia Zhu to the pillar of historical shame!
Shi Jie, and his "Qingli Shengde Poems"
Shi Jie's "Northern Song Dynasty Erjie, Wei Shi and Tang" This is a big man who is not trivial, regardless of his knowledge or temper... Speaking of learning and literati, in the Song Dynasty, when selecting representatives, I believe everyone will choose Su Shi and Su Dongpo as soon as possible. There is no way, Po Xian's fame is too great, but the word learning by no means refers to poetry and songs. In this regard, Ishisuke is only above the eastern slope and by no means below it!
The reason why Shi Jie left a name in history, especially in the history of culture, is because he founded the "Culai Academy" at the foot of Shandong Culai Mountain, known as Mr. Culai!
What kind of level do you have to be in the hometown of Sage Confucius! This level made him on March 20, when the new policy was first implemented, recommended by Han Qi to enter the Kaifeng Guozi Supervisor to speak directly. It was at this time that the "Qingli Shengde Poem" was written.
This poem is very ancient, 4 words and a sentence, a total of 954 words, with "Yu Weiqing calendar, three years and March." Emperor Longxing, Xu out of the "beginning, to" the emperor in one fell swoop, the ministers were intimidated. The princes are afraid, and the four Yi are subdued", Shi Jie praised and commended the officials appointed during the new policy in the emperor's tone. It is said that this is really the best time since the beginning of the world, not only human beings, but also heaven, earth, people, gods, insects, plants and trees are very excited! Because you promoted the two great sages, that is, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi, they are both "one sage and one deed", both of them are ancient great sages. At the same time, he drove away the despicable villain, it was Xia Zhu! This situation is so good that in the original words of the poem, it is "the advance of the sages, such as mouth." The great traitor goes, like from Stor"
As soon as this poem came out, the effect achieved made Shisuke very depressed. In his mind, how timely and appropriate it was to sing the praises of the New World with such enthusiasm. This would greatly increase the momentum of the New Deal's popularity. Let more people join the ranks of the gentlemen of the New Deal!
But in addition to Xia Zhu and many "villains" gritting their teeth at him, even the New Deal Gentleman System was at a loss for him: Brother Shi, what are you doing?
The first to shake his head at him was Mr. Sun Fu of the same name as him, Mr. Sun Fu of "Taishan Academy". Sun Fu and Shi Jie were classmates, both of whom were students of Fan Zhongyan when he was in charge of Ying Tianfu Academy when he was at his mother's funeral in his early years. He sighed and said, "Shisuke, your bad luck starts with this poem!"
The second pain is Fan Zhongyan, who is worried not only about Shi Jie's personal safety, but also about the overall situation of the new policy. He didn't want Shi Jie to come to the capital at such a moment! Isn't that messy enough? He had already defined Shi Jie, and this person should not be of great use. Death will die on this mouth. He said that Shi Jie was upright and known in the world. But the character is flawed and goes to extremes. If he is allowed to become an official, he will definitely demand super high standards for the emperor, and if the emperor fails to do it, he will "lead the way to tear down the threshold, kowtow and bleed, and do everything"
Who would dare to use such a speech? What are the benefits of using it? But his dear colleague Han Qi recommended Shi Jie. Things quickly deteriorated. "On the Friends of the Party", "Qingli Shengde Poems", plus a total of 11 impeachment recitals of the official system, this wave after wave of offensives, on the surface, is strengthening the tall and majestic image of gentlemen. It's really a spring breeze that stirs up the years. But at the same time, it is also accumulating terrible anger. Judging from what happened later, the gentlemen of Qingli didn't really know what kind of animal the villain was. Just like Xia Zhu. If you offend this person, don't even think about peace after you die!
Xia Zhu's means. Word-to-word, a simple letter completely dismantled the New Deal and turned gentlemen into traitors! But this is a big proposition, how to do it. In order to complete it successfully? Lord Xia pondered for a long time, turned around and entered the inner house, found a maid, and then took out a letter: Come, look at the handwriting on it, no matter how much time it takes, learn it and imitate it!
N days later, Lord Xia took out another letter: Come! Imitate the handwriting above and recopy it for me! But don't forget: change a word for me!
In just one word, the entire content has been changed, and the entire celebration of the new deal has been ruined!
The letter was written by Shi Kai to Tomi and involved politics, but it was still private in nature. However, private letters have always been praised by all the people, such as the "Book of the Family of Zeng Guofan" in later generations. How celebrities live, they are all models for ordinary people! In this letter, Shi Jie obviously did not write "Qingli Shengde Poem", in addition to scolding the villain, he also wanted to inspire the head of the new deal. He encouraged Fu Bi and others to "do the things of Yi and Zhou"
It's an allusion that involves two big names in history. They are all virtuous ministers who set the country and secure the country. Yi Yin was the one who assisted Shang Tang in founding the Shang Dynasty. It can be said that he is the first prime minister + military adviser in Chinese history. Zhou Gongdan is the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, King Wu died too early after destroying the Shang, and the Duke of Zhou fully assisted the young emperor, on the one hand, he was full of rumors, and on the other hand, he fought in the east and west, and quelled the remnants of the Shang Dynasty and the internal rebellion. It can be said that the Duke of Zhou was the one who actually established the Zhou Dynasty.
To sum up, Shi Jie's meaning is obvious, that is, Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan are like the ancient sages who turned things around for the Great Song Dynasty, recreated the world, and everyone lived a good life. The wish was very good, but after Xia Zhu pondered, he decided to change the letter to a word. It is the word "Zhou" of Zhou Gong, and he wants to change it to the word "Huo".
"Okay, Huo" thing! The difference of one word becomes a great rebellion that can destroy the nine clans. Huo refers to Huo Guang, a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty. His identity is very complicated, on the one hand, he ranks first among the 11 heroes of the Qilin Pavilion built by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and is the first of the four important ministers of the Han Wu Emperor's Tuo Gu period, assisting the country to stabilize for 20 years. But on the other hand, after the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he abolished the newly established emperor Liu He, and controlled the government alone for nearly half a month!
Such a character is the biggest nightmare and the most feared demon of the monarchs of the Song Dynasty!
What is especially terrifying is that Xia Daren's historical knowledge is very good, and he is very knowledgeable when he changes "Zhou" to "Huo" while retaining the word "Yi". Yi Yin is almost a copy of Huo Guang, on the one hand, he is as meritorious as Zhou Gong, and on the other hand, after Shang Tang's death, he exiled the ignorant Shang King Taijia to Tonggong, and became the de facto Shang King for 3 years, and only after 3 years did he take Taijia out of Tonggong and become the Shang King again!
Do you know the seriousness of the problem? With the change of one word, Shi Jie will become to ask Fu Bi and others to follow Yi Yin and Huo Guang, abolish the current Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and replace it with a person who is aggressive and determined to innovate as the emperor! At the same time, Lord Xia let this letter be widely circulated, which created a very bad situation: not only was it a great rebellion, but it was also a blatant rebellion. Whether it succeeds or not, it despises the current emperor to the extreme!
This letter quickly spread all over the world, and even more quickly spread to the palace and was handed over to Zhao Zhen. The Emperor reacted with the silence of always. He played with the letter, as if he had seen a lot of things, and as if he was absent-minded, thinking about something else? This attitude finally pushed Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi to the extreme!
Or do you give an order to ask, even if you are angry, we can answer? Either you just say you don't believe it, and we can go after it? What do you want us to do if you are so silent? You're suspicious of us!
The gentleman talks about the way of humility and retreat, and he does not fight for profit. The official position is dung, even if you are so suspicious, we resign, so that the rumors will be self-defeating, and our purity will be cleared by ourselves!
So, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi wrote at the same time to request that they be released and not be officials in the capital. And it was a coincidence that a very delicate opportunity suddenly appeared. The location of the border between the North Road of the Great Song River and the Liao State detected that the Liao State was massing a large number of troops, as if it was going to have a large-scale military operation. So Fan Zhongyan proposed to return to the frontier to guard against the Khitan and the party. Fan Zhongyan proposed that he lead a heavy army to Hebei to deploy defenses. If realized, then he will return to the value he had at the beginning of the New Deal, when he had just left Shaanxi and was the great savior of the Great Song Dynasty frontier defense, psychologically, so that everyone would pay attention to him and dare not refute him. It is precisely this that gives him the confidence to dare to launch the Qingli New Deal more than 10 months ago...
At this time, he returned to the frontier to face the Khitans, who were even more dangerous than the party, believing that he could wake up the Great Song Dynasty officialdom, which had fallen into fanatical infighting, and even after he left, he would not interrupt the new policy he was implementing. This is no way to continue to develop and clear up the rumors...
I thought very well, but unfortunately his life was too bitter. If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. Without waiting for his political opponents to object, his allies jumped out. The military representative privy envoy Du Yan took the lead, and the privy deputy envoy Fu Bi quickly followed: You are purely imaginary, the Liao State conscription is just to go to Western Xia to quell the rebellion, and it has nothing to do with the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty. You are sending troops and horses, and you are allocating money and food, and you have nothing to do to find trouble, so you have to do more! Fu Bi also solemnly assured the emperor: Liao will never invade, if I am wrong, I am willing to bear the "crime of bullying the king" Fan Zhongyan was furious, this is the most difficult effort he can do for the new policy, no matter what! So on the Golden Palace, he quarreled with Du Yan and Fu Bi!
According to historical records, he cited 6 major doubts and 3 worries, with a total of 670 words, proving that the Liao State was likely to invade jointly with the Western Xia this time. Fu Bi on the opposite side confronted each other, replied with 347 words, and reiterated his point of view: Now that the world is peaceful, no matter Hedong, Hebei, or Shaanxi, it is impossible for a war to break out in any area! Fan Zhongyan is talking nonsense, I don't know what to say!
They quarreled so much, but they couldn't do anything in the end, so they had to leave the palace in disgrace. Because the emperor didn't say a word, he didn't see anything.
Fan Zhongyan is unwilling! It is necessary to do the most difficult collusion with the comrades, and then go to the Golden Palace, and unify the caliber... This time he got the most fatal blow, and Han Qi, who had been silent, spoke, "If you are determined to go, I will go." You don't need to ride one person or one person in the court."
Fan Zhongyan completely collapsed, on June 22, he was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and Hedong, and when he was driven out of the capital and went to Shaanxi to take office, he failed to bring out a single soldier... (To be continued......)
