Liquidation of the old party
The more Su Shi wrote, the happier he became, and gradually he couldn't stop the brake, and couldn't help but drag the New Party group out and be collectively scolded for "being harsh to the country and harming the people, and calling the head of the army" and "starting with his confidant, and being a bully together." Joy is enough to rejoice, and anger is to devour each other" The last sentence summarizes - "A little heinous sin will always be the rule of the world"
Look: Su Shi is too much to write this, right? Lu Huiqing made a mistake, just say that Lu Huiqing is good! But why take the opportunity to bring down a piece? After all, if you have something to say, you have to be responsible for scolding people!
Su Shi didn't care, he looked up to the sky and smiled after writing this peerless article at that time, feeling very comfortable, and he was overjoyed when he walked out of the door. Someone asked Mr. Su: Why are you so happy?
Su Shi recited the derogatory system he had just written, and then added his own sigh - "Thirty years as an executioner, today Fang has a meat man" One word: cool!
After the cool, it was to pay the bill, Su Shi was convicted at this time, he took advantage of his position to announce his personal vendetta, and also insinuated that the first emperor of Shenzong committed a great rebellion! Conclusive! There is no need to be escorted back to the capital for trial like the Wutai poetry case, on the 11th, he was directly dismissed from Dingzhou and went to Yingzhou to wake up!
Su Shi is the second top minister to be demoted to Lingnan in the partisan struggle after Cai Qu...
In this process, no one interceded with him, even Fan Chunren flashed far away, how far away he hid, even if he still felt unsafe, a few days later, Fan Chunren, Fan Zuyu and others almost unanimously wrote a letter of resignation and took the initiative to apply for an external transfer... I can't stay in the capital, it's too dangerous!
But this is not intimidated by Zhang Shangying. No matter how ruthless Zhang Shangying is, his qualifications are not deep. Can't shake a big guy of their level. The reason why they fled and hid out was because a person with more seniority than them, who had great influence, never compromised, and never relented, rushed back from Jiangnan and was about to enter the capital of Kaifeng - Zhangdian!
On April 12, Song Zhezong ordered the change of Yuan Shaosheng. Shao, meaning inheritance. Saint, meaning saint. The saint in Song Zhezong's heart is none other than his father Song Shenzong! From this change, the curtain of Shaosheng Shaoshu was officially opened!
On April 21, the first year of Shaosheng (1094), Zhang Dian was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door. At the same time, Fan Chunren was dismissed. Zhang Dian became the sole minister of the Great Song Dynasty during the Shao Sheng and Yuan Fu years...
Among the officials still alive in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Dian is the oldest generation. After the death of Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others. Except for the older Wen Yanbo. No one can surpass him. Whether it is Fan Chunren or Lu Dafang, even if they are of similar age, they are all the juniors of Zhang Dian in their positions. It's nothing, the old-timers are generally kind. It's very warm to the juniors... But Zhangdun is a special case!
Throughout his life, he lived in the world of black and white. He thinks so. Will always be loyal. Such as on Wang Anshi and the new law. If he thinks it is wrong, he will always be hostile to the end, such as Sima Guang and the old party. There will never be a third scenario in between. This belief translates into a style of doing things. It's a nightmare for the enemy!
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, a blood for a blood... This is the style of Zhangduan!
In the past examples, in the past 9 years, the old party relied on the Empress Dowager Gao to do bad things to the new party, and they all caused people's lives! At this time, when Zhang Dian returned to Beijing, there was only one goal - to kill! Realizing this, even a peacemaker like Fan Chunren didn't dare to mix in. Zhangdun is here, how far away is it, it is better to never meet this person! They expected it right, and in the time that followed, every point happened, and the party struggle continued to intensify!
Zhang Dian knew his appointment before he left, and he was the prime minister when he returned to the dynasty. This is not only because of his talent, but also because of his loyalty. Song Zhezong recognizes such people the most...
On the other hand, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought of a piece with Fan Chunren and Fan Zuyu, in order to save their lives, these people lost their worth and did something extremely rare and unprecedented in the history of the Song Dynasty!
On the day he arrived in the capital, all the courtiers went outside the city gate to greet him. One by one, they are sincerely afraid and cautious. It's a pity that Zhang Dun is indifferent. Are you kidding? Up to now, it is impossible to make meritorious service and atone for sins, and you just want to pass the test with some servile kneeling?
Zhang Dian took office, the new party quickly returned to Beijing, the old people of Xifeng such as Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Zhou Zhi, Zhai Si, Shangguan Jun, Lin Xi, Huang Lu, Lai Zhishao, Guo Zhizhang, Liu Zheng and others all returned, they quickly occupied the key departments such as the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhiyuan Academy, and worked closely with Zhang Shangying, and the efficiency was unprecedentedly fast...
In leap April, Huang Lu, who was known as the "Four Murderers" together with Cai Qu, Zhang Dan, and Xingshu during the Yuan You period, was promoted to the boss of Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng.
On May 9, Song Zhezong issued an edict: based on Wang Anshi's "Diary", Cai Bian and others re-compiled the "Records of Shenzong"
On the 14th, following the derogation of Su Shi, another new liquidation target was released - Guo Jinzhang, the palace servant, pursued the matter of ceding 4 villages in the northwest to Western Xia during the Yuan You period!
Happy! When the old party was always in a strategic offensive posture against Western Xia in the Song Dynasty, the behavior of taking the initiative to abandon the four border villages was outraged! Countless border soldiers exchanged their flesh and blood for the city, just to oppose the new party, and returned it to the enemy free of charge. Not to mention the actual material losses, the morale of the two countries and the transposition of offense and defense in 9 years made the Song Dynasty miserable!
The Tangut people became extremely arrogant again, and Xiaoliang dared to break into the Huanqing Road of the Song Dynasty with 100,000 people to kill people and set fires... It's a great shame! Zhang Dian instructed to do this first thing after taking office, and whose responsibility must be investigated and dealt with!
Soon the list of responsible persons was listed, and 11 people led by Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were the main culprits. Among them, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Fan Chun were the most responsible, and were convicted of "blackmailing and recklessly" Sun Jue, Wang Cun and other accomplices, and the crime was "secretly ignorant and arguing"
Another list! Yuanyu list! Song Zhezong looked at this report and asked himself many times, he wanted to be gentle, but can this matter be gentle? Yu Guo, Yu family, Yu Xianhuang, Yu soldiers, no matter what point, they can't forgive! He agreed to deal with it harshly and severely...
While studying how to convict him, the Imperial Observatory has already launched another impeachment. Questioning the death of former Prime Minister Cai Cheng during the Yuan You period. 1. Is Cai really guilty? 2 If you are guilty, will your sin be forgiven or not, and you will die? Who instructed this, and for what purpose?
These two questions are extremely fatal. It is directed at the dispute at the core of the supreme power of the year. Among them, the most sensitive can be summed up in one sentence - the prime minister can be brought down, only the position is higher than the prime minister. Who is that person? Empress Dowager Gao! No one else but her could do it!
The official pointed to the key point, and Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Su Zhe, Wang Yansuo and others were all arrested. No matter what position they are in now, they will be demoted again!
The depreciation was written by Lin Xi, and the writing style was on par with Su Dongpo. Such as derogatory Liu Zhi - "... From the beginning, Fu will be a powerful minister, flattering the will, and dense private party. Advocating evil schemes. Talking about traffic, the trail is mysterious. Falsely slandering the holy exam, ignoring and bowing" is quite ruthless, but every sentence is true. set up a small clique in the imperial court and helped the Empress Dowager Gao to repeal the new law. There is only the Empress Dowager in his eyes. The little emperor can only see his back and ass every day...
Very relieving. What's even more pleasing is the derogatory remark when derogating Su Zhe - "The past is virtuous and square." The countermeasures are in court, and the rebuke is bowed, and the inherent disagreement is inherent... At the beginning of the curtain. The first few sentences of the first few sentences are to say that Su Zhe was born, he and his brother Su Shi had a clear division of labor when he was taking the examination, Su Shi praised and he depreciated, and said that the Renzong era was worthless, and he was angry at that time, and the top high-ranking officials were all tempered, and they had never seen any means. Strictly speaking: flattery is shameful, and on the contrary, it appears with a loyal face, and people who desperately invite names are even more contemptible! Wrong intentions! The last few sentences are the key points, which means that after the death of Song Shenzong, the Empress Dowager Gao lowered the curtain to listen to the government, and the old immortal traitor usurped the state power without authorization, and arranged Su Zhe in the position of the official, so that he could slander and slander the Shenzong Dynasty! The old traitor is trespassing the country, this is an unmistakable scolding of the Empress Dowager Gao, and it is the first time that the new party has attacked this woman who has misled the country and the family, is stupid and ruthless, and does not know the so-called dead woman!
Faced with these, Song Zhezong hesitated. The experience of 9 years made him hate his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Gao. But firstly, he didn't want to be violent at the beginning of his pro-government, and secondly, family feuds should not be publicized, and royal decency was important...
Seeing the little emperor's hesitation, the New Party clique felt the crisis. In the era of feudal monarchs, if you can't get 100% support from those in power, no matter what kind of capable person can display his talents. Recent examples are Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, Empress Dowager Gao and Sima Guang...
Now Song Zhezong hesitated. This is a crisis, a big crisis! But do you dare to walk up to the little emperor alone and say to him: Your grandmother is too a bastard, we joined forces to be her?
Looking for a kick, right? But the New Party has done just that, and it has been very successful. Zhang Shangying walked out of the mountain of Wen Jiàn and summoned the ministers to meet Song Zhezong. He said, "May Your Majesty never forget the time of Yuan You." Zhang Dian did not forget Ruzhou. An Tao did not forget Xuchang. Li Qingchen and Zeng Bu never forgot Heyang" This sentence burned into the gas station like a fire, and with a bang, everyone's anger was ignited!
Ruzhou, Xuchang, and Heyang were the initial places of exile for Zhang Dian and others, and the Yuan You period was the day of Song Zhezong's crucifixion, and it was his day of shame. If you can't heal the scar and forget the pain, if the tumor is not eradicated, it will break out again one day!
No more hesitation! Rectify the old party to death! This supreme directive was issued, and the New Party quickly carried it out, only slightly changing its shape in the course of operation. They were—even the dead!
In July, the handling decision was introduced, first talking about the living: Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Su Zhe, Liang Tao, and Liu Anshi were degraded for the second time, respectively, Yingzhou, Qizhou, Yunzhou, Ezhou, and Nan'anjun. Although they have not yet crossed Lingnan, they have all reached both sides of the Yangtze River. and all the sendings of these men have been dismissed! From this moment on, these former top bigwigs are unofficial and light, except for a little bit of the only remaining honorary title, they are actually a group of criminals!
Let's talk about the dead: Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu are the two leaders of the old party. Although he is dead, the titles that can be posthumously given, the nicknames, and the gifts to his children and grandchildren are still there. These are the proceeds of their crimes, and they must all be recovered!
All of them were recovered, Sima Guang's "Wenzheng" nickname, the "Zhongqing Cuide" monument, etc., were all recovered, and they were officially declared invalid! It's not over yet, and the assessment of the descendants of the criminals is also underway. For example, Lu Xichun, the son of Lu Gong, was arrested, and Zhang Shangying dug out the words he wrote to the Empress Dowager Gao's people in the vast pile of texts. There is a sentence in it, "My ancestor in the past, she is in the middle of Chenji", which pushed the Empress Dowager Gao to the pinnacle of supremacy!
The Empress Dowager Gao is alive, you are taking advantage of the situation to be rampant, and you are still making a big fuss when you are dead, and you will not take me, the emperor, in your eyes at any time! Degrade! Get out of here!
At this point, I believe everyone is a little hairy in their hearts. The liquidation movement is really happy, but if it continues like this, will it cause the Song Dynasty to self-harm? After all, it is too damaging to engage in sports in the nest! The New Party headed by Zhang Dian engaged in restoration and liquidation, making the Song Dynasty worse after the change of Yuan You, which is really undeserved! There is also such an incident recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty to prove that the Zhangdian people are indeed too much!
Here's the thing: before Zhang Dian entered Beijing, he was promoted by the Dongxiao Palace in Hangzhou, and when he rushed from Jiangnan to Kaifeng, he passed through Huzhou and Yuezhou, and between these two states, there was a famous man waiting for him - Chen Qiang. Chen Mingshi is a person who is both virtuous and artistic. (To be continued......)
