1 After all the ups and downs of officialdom, the only person who has not changed is Ouyang Xiu. Limited to the "Gentleman's Party" of the Qingli New Deal who is still alive, Fu Bi has changed, Han Qi has changed, and there is no trace of the young pavilion personnel who have been excited and energetic. Only what Ouyang Xiu was like before and what he is now. This makes him continue to make a fool of himself in officialdom, and he is always treated as an outlier! But "where the Tao is, although thousands of people go to me" he adheres to the belief he has held since he was a teenager, although pedantic and out of place, he still always maintains the true character of a scholar in the materialistic officialdom, and has never been himself. Isn't that extremely valuable?

2. The reason for his failure this time is also very simple. River governance, in all dynasties, has never been a people's livelihood project, but a government project! Ouyang Xiu and the old people of Qingli are drifting apart, they are not in the same stream, and they belong to non-party people, so naturally no one will pay attention to his opinion anymore! 3 opinions, each of which has behind-the-scenes supporters. Behind Jia Changchao is Chen Zhizhong, behind Li Zhongchang is Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, and Ding Du can be ignored because he actually didn't propose a specific method at all.

Such a big project, under whose rule it succeeds, will become his huge political capital (about the Zen concession between Shun and Yu, some historians insist: This is not Zen concession, but the seizure of power!). Dayu accumulated huge political capital in the control of the water, so that Shun was exiled to Cangwu and became the leader of China. Later, he changed the public world to the private world, passed on to his son Qi, and created the first dynasty in Chinese history - Xia) Just like the restoration of the old way of the Jia Chang Dynasty, he and Chen Zhizhong are in a state of the wilderness, if it is adopted, where will the current Wen and Fu faces go? Once the river is successfully controlled, whose credit is it? Jia and Chen immediately had the prestige to make a comeback!

On the 5th, the Liao Dao Sect established Xiao Guanyin, the daughter of Xiao Hui, as the queen. His two younger brothers and Lu Wei are the king of Lu and Ah Lian are the kings of Chen. Yelu Chongyuan's son, Nelugu, was crowned King of Wu.

Focusing on the issue of the attribution of interests in the last place, the huge flood hazard has become secondary. Both sides have tried their best to suppress each other's plans, and no matter what, they will not let the enemy's intentions succeed! The first person to attack was Jia Changchao. Jia Changchao has a high level of seniority. During the Qingli period, he went from the right counselor to the imperial historian, and was promoted all the way to the governor's office, and then to the privy envoy. It wasn't until the beginning of the New Deal that he was driven out of the court by Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and it was at that time that he formed an enmity with Fu Bi. At this time, the opportunity suddenly came, allowing him to make an off-board move...

The opportunity occurred on the first day of the first month of the 3rd year of Zhihe (1056), on this day, hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall to celebrate the Yuan Day Great Meeting. No one expected that when the curtains were rolled up and the emperor appeared, everyone was about to pay respects, and suddenly the emperor's head fell to one side, and then the whole person fell! The emperor fainted!

The curtain on the imperial staircase was immediately drawn again. The figures inside swayed and were hectic for a while. The hundreds of officials below were panicked and commotioned, and they didn't know what happened to the emperor. After a while, the curtain opened again, and everyone saw the familiar official again, and he was able to sit up straight again, facing everyone...

On that day, the ministers could barely suppress the fear in their hearts, and bowed to His Majesty in turn before slowly retreating. But everyone is wondering: what happened to the emperor? Will we be able to govern the DPRK as usual tomorrow?

Of course not! But fortunately, there is annual leave to take. The annual leave of the Song Dynasty was extended to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went to congratulate. And there are major programs. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a banquet should be held in the Zichen Hall to entertain the Khitan envoys who came to pay New Year's greetings. All the courtiers were so frightened that they fainted in public if they played again under His Majesty. This reputation has spread across borders!

Sure enough, on this day, everything was done according to the usual practice, and after the pomp was done, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo had to hold a wine in his hand and climb the stairs to congratulate the emperor on his birthday at close range. And invited the emperor to make a New Year's speech.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said, "Are you not happy?" Master Wen was stunned for a moment, what does this sentence mean? Is it that His Majesty looks at me unpleasantly, or does it look unpleasant to the Khitan people? Guessing the answer in my head. But I don't think it's reliable. Reason told him that the most likely answer was that the emperor was still faint and was talking in a dream! Then I, the prime minister, don't faint with me? So shut up! Serve now! Let's eat!

At the banquet that day, Emperor Renzong sat steadily, did not speak again, and did not even have an expression. Until the end of the feast. The ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when this day passed again, everyone had a question mark in their hearts: Is the emperor cured? Or is it heavier?

It's hard to say! Fainting in an instant or being incoherent, which is more deadly?

On the sixth day of the second day, according to the custom, the Khitan envoy was to be seen off. Still in the Zichen Palace, the original team continues to drink and eat! When the envoy of the Liao State went to the palace and walked to the center of the court, the emperor suddenly shouted the sentence, "Quickly summon the envoy to the palace, I will hardly see each other"

The ministers of the full palace collectively trembled, are you amnesia today? Or did you sleepwalk yesterday and forget all about the whole day? Seeing that the Song Dynasty, which had maintained its dignity in front of foreigners for nearly 100 years, was about to collapse, the officials present instantly began to cooperate, and the troops were divided into two ways:

The audience was led by Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, stopped the Khitan envoy, and pulled him out directly! The reason is that the emperor is happy, he was drunk last night, and today our minister will set up a banquet in the post house, let's change the table and drink!

The stage was also in a hurry, and the eunuchs couldn't help but say, put the emperor up and leave. That is really similar to what the prime minister said...

That night, the ministers did not go home, and found Shi Zhicong and Deng Baoji, the great eunuchs in the palace, and put forward a request that was made for the first time since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo asked the chamberlain to inform the emperor of his illness at any time, not to conceal it, not to be delayed!

And for good reason! The country cannot be without a king for a day, the emperor is sick like this, the ministers must know in their hearts!

looked very loyal, but I didn't expect to be dismissed by the big eunuchs: The internal affairs of the palace, it is not your turn to speak to the ministers! Do what you have to do, and don't bring trouble on yourself!

To be honest, the eunuchs' words are right. Inside and outside the palace, there are two completely different worlds. The reason for the complete separation is not only because of the emperor's male psychology and refusal to cuckold himself, but more importantly, for security reasons: personal security, but also political security!

Just like at this time, Lord Wen looked loyal, but if this precedent was set, as long as the emperor had a minor illness or disaster in the future, he would be able to control the palace at any time! So the surname Zhao or the surname Wen in this world?

Everyone understands the truth, and some people hesitate, such as Fubi. But Wen Yanbo roared! He roared in the ear of the great eunuch Shi Zhicong. What really plays a role in the great treatise is the last sentence of the most eloquent: "Come here, take this surname Shi to the provincial government office to sign and make a military order!" Things in the harem. If the ministers of the two provinces do not know what to do, they will cut him down."

Shi Zhicong immediately took it, not only promised to report his condition every day, but even when the gates of the palace were about to be closed that night, he had to go to Wen Yanbo to talk to him, and it was up to you to decide whether the city was closed or not...

Master Wen knows very well that this is not a service, but a necessity to serve, is it too strong for me to do this? Looks like there will be trouble! But I can't do that much now. On that day, he stood in front of the palace gate in the dark night, looking at the palace from afar. Your Majesty: Your Majesty, how nice it would be if I could see you again tomorrow!

As he wished, he really saw the emperor the next day. Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor suddenly rushed out of the palace with his hair scattered, and shouted "The queen and Zhang Mao are plotting against each other"

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's hair instantly topped up their official hats, and they were rebellious... That's not only a rebellion, but also an assassination of the king! The emperor rushed out to apply for political asylum, and the courtiers were waiting for nothing. Don't rush to save people!

But seeing that yesterday's scene was repeated, the emperor's trembling hand kept stretching forward, and the attendants rushed up and held him down firmly. Collectively turned around and returned to the palace. Leaving a group of ministers outside in a daze...

As they were staying, the eunuchs turned around and said something that made them cold from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, "The ministers should pardon and eliminate disasters for the officials." That is, amnesty for the world. Generally speaking, this trick will not be used until the last step. This meant that all Ouchi Imperial Doctors were in despair. The emperor's illness can't be cured, and it can only work if God is gracious.

Under the cover of clouds, the ministers of the two provinces were in front of a bad situation that had not been seen since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty. The emperor is crazy, the prince is not yet, who will manage the huge country? In the crisis, it was the difference of the people of Wen who showed themselves. He instantly passed on the trouble to the eunuchs: wait for the amnesty, and then talk about it after the tenth day of the first month, who knows what kind of turn will take place in a few days! Now set up Jiao in the Daqing Hall in the inner courtyard of the palace to pray for blessings. The ministers of the two prefectures have stayed overnight in Ouchi from today onwards, and they are on duty day and night, and they are responsible to the emperor at any time!

The eunuchs were dumbfounded, no ministers had ganged up to spend the night in the palace since the beginning of the world! Especially when the emperor is critically ill and the dragons are leaderless! Not to mention the political consequences, you voters can make the reputation of the concubines in the palace red! The great eunuch Shi Zhicong couldn't bear it, "Ministers, there is no precedent for this matter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Wen Yanbo replied coldly, "Is there a precedent for the current situation?"

The eunuchs collectively shut up. Count you ruthless! Shi Zhicong turned around and left! Speaking of which, he really lost all the prestige of the old-timers of the Han and Tang Dynasties! But anger is anger, and he knows very clearly: The most important part of the eunuch's power is now zero! In any case, there is no way to compete with foreign ministers - eunuchs must have the support of the emperor to be powerful! Shi Zhicong endured, and the ministers stayed in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Perhaps the prayers worked, and on the 9th, the emperor recovered a little and was able to meet everyone in the Chongzheng Hall. After one day, it disappeared again, and the ministers stared at the door of the dormitory and began to exchange glances - it's all here, why do you keep this door!

On the 10th, the ministers finally walked to the gate of the emperor's palace step by step! At this time, Shi Zhicong rushed up again: Anyway, you can't go to the emperor's bedroom, right? Unexpectedly, as soon as he wanted to speak, he was yelled back by Fu Bi, "Prime Minister An Ke will not see the Son of Heaven for a day"

Shi Zhicong finally declined again and again, and completely hid in the deepest part of the palace. From this day on, not only can the ministers of the two provinces enter and leave the palace at will, but even the close ministers of the two systems can go to the inner east gate every day to greet them, and the officials can also enter and exit once every 5 days, regardless of the size of the government!

The palace was completely opened, and it became the most upscale vegetable market in the Great Song Dynasty...

On the 11th, amnesty was granted to the world. The gossip of the emperor's illness was as fast as the wind, and it blew all over the entire territory of the Song Dynasty in an instant, during which of course the former prime minister and the Beijing Daimyo Mansion stayed in Jia Changchao: Is this very lively? How could I be missing! In every way, this is a heaven-made, tailor-made opportunity for me, and I can't miss it!

A few days later, the ministers of the two provinces were gathering in the palace to talk about things, when two people suddenly broke in. It is said that at this time, the heavens and the earth are big, and the rulers are the greatest, but none of these two people dare to despise them, because they represent the heavens.

Song Dynasty Si Tianguan! At this time they broke in and said that "the state should not cross the river in the north, causing the Eucharist to be disturbed" refers to the Liuta River, which is north of Kaifeng. Si Tianguan said that we have calculated Feng Shui accurately. It was you who dug indiscriminately to make the emperor sick!

A network of relationships flashed in Lord Wen's mind in an instant: Liuta River - water control - Jia Chang Dynasty - Daimyo Mansion - Si Tianguan - the emperor is sick. Wen Yanbo accurately singled out the hostile elements from thousands of clues: Jia Changchao's thief heart is not dead! It is necessary to take advantage of the emperor's illness to bring down the plan of the Six Towers River!

After analyzing the reason, Wen Yanbo chose to remain silent. Because the real danger was not yet imminent, these two Si Tianguan suddenly came to shout this voice, like a threat is not a threat, like an accusation is not like an accusation, what is the real purpose?

A few days later, the mystery was revealed. The two of them broke in again, this time not only reiterating that the Six Towers River must stop work, but also submitting a solution - asking the queen to listen to the government, which is the only correct solution to the current state! Immediately after the appearance of the great eunuch Shi Zhicong, the great eunuch who had been disgraced since the Spring Festival became radiant, he brought a written material from the harem, and ordered all the ministers to leave, get out of the inner courtyard of the palace, and restore the national body!

Realistically speaking: In China's feudal era, although male power was supreme, the emperor could depose the queen. But compared to the minister, the queen is still very sacred! All the ministers are nothing more than her retainers!

It can be inferred from this: Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others broke into the palace without the permission of Empress Cao, relied on it, and acted as a prestige and reprimanded the servants, which is a heinous crime! Now telling them to get out of the way in writing is quite mild, even cowardly.

So what is the reaction of the ministers? Fu Bi didn't know how to do it, Wen Yanbo was still very calm, he quietly listened to Si Tianguan's speech, and sent them back to listen to the letter first. took the document handed over by Shi Zhicong, looked at it carefully, and then a happy expression appeared on his face, and he nodded slowly, as if he was encouraged, and as if relieved. And the kindness that he had never seen before asked Eunuch Shi to avoid it for the time being.

All signs indicate that Wen Yanbo seems to have succumbed? Jia Changchao's serial plan succeeded: the queen subdued the ruling and destroyed the Liuta River in one fell swoop, and even left a foreshadowing for a possible future great liquidation. Such a big rebellion, the dismissal is light, right? (To be continued......)
