After this series of actions were done, there was basically no one in the Song Dynasty. Renzong Dynasty, the imperial history of the platform is probably often maintained at about 20 people, the later attrition can also have more than 10 people, now the boss is sick and dead, no one replaces, the original 5 people under the imperial history, except for the 3 envoys to the Liao State, only 2 survived.

The Zhiyuan side is even worse, the boss Sima Guang is gone, and there is no one to replace him, he originally only had 1 official, and now he has also been sent to the Great Khitan as an envoy. The dignified Song Dynasty Zhiyuan existed in name only.

In the entire Taiwan admonition department, there are only 3 people left: Lu Xu, Fan Chunren, and Lu Dafang.

These 3 people will all be famous bigwigs in the future, but at this time they are just small flies in the officialdom. Nominally, he is a speech official who can impeach the prime minister, but in fact he has no qualifications, and his words have no weight...

The three speech officials, headed by Lu Xu, asked for an increase in the number of Taiwan officials on October 17. So on the 19th, Shao Bi was appointed as the boss of the Zhiyuan Yuan. At the end of the month, Peng Siyong was appointed as the boss of Yushitai.

On December 9, Yeluren was first expelled from the court by Yelu Yixin, and went to stay in Youzhou and changed his title to King of Jin.

At the end of this year, Lu Zhi seized an opportunity again: the Winter Solstice Day Meeting. He demanded in public that the ministers of the two governments and the two systems be convened again to discuss the title of King Pu. And he directly aimed at Han Qi, the prime minister of the DPRK. Lu Zhi summarized what Han Qi has done since he took office, and finally summarized it into a comparison: "Looking at Han Qi's talent, he is not as good as Huo Guang, Li Deyu, Ding Wei, and Cao, and his arrogance is excessive"

The 4 names listed above are all characters in various dynasties who have deposed the emperor, bullied the queen mother, persecuted colleagues, and are angry with people and gods. Han Qi's contribution is far inferior to theirs, but the degree of annoyance is much more than that! Lu Zhi suggested that Han Qi be removed from the post of prime minister and demoted from the capital to become an official in other places!

The impeachment note was handed in, and it was once again lost in the sea...

On January 18, the 3rd year of Zhiping (1066), Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong changed the name of the Great Khitan State of his grandfather Yelu Longxu of Liao Shengzong back to Da Liao again.

The three officials, Lu Xu, Fan Chunren, and Lu Dafang, finally made an earth-shattering event! They jointly impeached all the rulers and publicly listed the mistakes of every bigwig in Zhongshu Province:

Ouyang Xiu "was the first to open heretical opinions, vainly quoting scriptures, and pleasing the lord in vain." Negative to the first emperor with near profits, and want to tire the king of Pu with an unrighteous name, he will fall into the ridicule of his majesty... What is unforgivable in the political code is forgiven, and what is rejected by man and God"

Han Qi "didn't think deeply at first, he was stubborn and wanted to pretend to be wrong, and Fu would say it." Shelter the evil and depress the public opinion"

As for Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Xuan? They were charged with inaction. All in all, these slaughtering personnel are "jackals on the road, treacherous in the court" should be all dismissed! A chief evil like Ouyang Xiu should be thrown into prison and dealt with seriously!

In the face of such accusations. No one can be silent anymore. Back then, Lu Yijian, or even Ding Wei, which one got the title of "jackal"? How could Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu stand it? fought back as soon as possible, and became a piece with the officials...

Put aside the quarrels in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and discuss the ultimate question: the courtiers have made trouble to such a point, except for the three or five rulers, no one agrees with Zhao Yunrang's "imperial examination" identity, so why is Song Yingzong Zhao Shu still so stubborn, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal? This cannot be explained by nonsense such as "fighting for the fame of the biological father" and "what's wrong with preaching filial piety". There is another reason for Zhao Shu's stubbornness. That is a matter that their father and son have been buried deep in their hearts for two generations, and they dare not reveal a little bit to outsiders, and the deeper they bury, the deeper they are, the more painful they are!

Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Shu have one thing in common, and we all know Zhao Shu's life experience. He had no children because of Renzong. When he was young, he entered the palace and was raised as a prince. This left an indelible mark on him in the depths of his soul when he was growing up - I was the heir to the throne! As long as there is no accident, in the future, this splendid country in the world of flowers and flowers will be mine! He waited. Sure enough, there was no accident, Renzong's 3 biological sons all died... But his father Zhao Yunrang was not as lucky as him, Zhao Yunrang was actually a copy of Zhao Shu's fate. The two were exactly the same in the beginning!

Before Renzong was born, Zhao Yunrang also entered the palace as a prince and was fostered by Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong at that time, but it shouldn't have been, Liu E actually used a palace maid "Tanuki for the Prince" to give birth to a biological son to Emperor Zhenzong!

What a blow to the dream! Later, such a tragedy almost happened to Zhao Shu! Zhang Guifei was bent on giving birth to a prince for Renzong, how could she keep Zhao Shu, the misfortune, by her side and drive him out! For more than 20 years, Zhao Yun made the father and son live in ardent anticipation and great loss...

The birth of every prince is their disaster, and the death of every prince has become their festival. History has not recorded their specific performance, but Zhao Shu's refusal when he was officially elected as the prince and his escape and stupidity on the day of his accession to the throne prove how much he cares!

At the beginning, we confused him for what do we think is a disaster to be a prince? Escape on the day of the enthronement plus stupidity? A strong voiceover expresses Zhao Shu's mood: Oh my God, is this true? Really dead? Zhao Zhen, you're finally dead? Father, do you see it in the spirit of heaven? I'm the Emperor! I'm the Emperor... And so he sheds a hara...

Thinking back to him, he shouted and walked in front of Renzong's spirit, jumping back and forth: Zhao Zhen, you also have today! There is a kind of you get up and see: I am in front of you, I am the emperor! What can you do with me? Dad, your long-cherished wish has finally come true, and your opponent, he is still dead!

It wasn't that he was insane at all, but that he was a little too excited. It's similar to how a poor egg suddenly won a 5 million super lottery...

Only by understanding this mental dynamic, can we understand why such a thing could happen? For what kind of royal son, etiquette and shame every day, a loyal and honest good boy who has been on his lips for 30 years, will become a complete slut?

At this time, when the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was in a quarrel, and the situation could not be cleaned up, a decisive blow suddenly came, bringing the "Pu Yi Dispute", the first major event of the Yingzong Dynasty, to an end.

On January 21, the Empress Dowager had a decree: King Pu Anyi, Mrs. Qian Zhou Wang, Mrs. Han of Xiangguo, and Jun Ren of Xianyou County could make the emperor promote. King Pu Anyi is the emperor. Wang, Han, and Ren are called later.

A bolt from the blue! Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Cao, who was in trouble with the emperor not long ago to the point of crying, would actually give such an order! Did she elevate Zhao Yunrang to the same status as her dead husband? This is so abnormal! But no matter how surprised he is, it is clearly written in black and white, Zhao Yunrang is not only the father of Song Yingzong, the "imperial examination", but also won the title of emperor who is justifiable, and Zhao Zhen of Renzong is on an equal footing!

On that day, Kaifeng City was boiling! Except for five or six people such as Zhao Shu, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu, everyone is scolding the street! There's got to be a cat here! The temperamental ones directly pointed the finger at the Empress Dowager Cao: You dead old lady, what is Renzong sorry for you? Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he begged for a husband... No, what the hell are you asking for? I don't know. This woman must be crazy!

On the same day, Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu maintained unprecedented sobriety, and on the 22nd, he borrowed a donkey from the slope to "agree" to the order of the Empress Dowager Cao, and at the same time also very humbly pushed some rights and interests. Under the edict, "the gift of proximity, follow the precepts of mercy." He did not accept the order to let his father Zhao Yun be the emperor and the three ladies to be the queen, but he retained the title of relatives. Looks very decent? But there are other small actions. He upgraded Zhao Yunrang's tomb to a cemetery, and then built a temple with the garden, considering that the later emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were all descendants of Zhao Shu. Since then, the sacrifices have been continuous, and the specifications of the emperor are exactly the same!

Zhao Shu finally got his wish, but if you don't know what to do, you can't do it unless you do! Within two days of the incident, on the 25th, the entire behind-the-scenes process was found out by Lu Xu, written as an official document, and in broad daylight!

As usual, there is still a version of the official history and a version of the truth. Let's look at the official history first: On January 21, 1066, the officials of Zhongshu Province reported to Zhao Shu in the Vertical Arch Hall, and the specifications were very grand. Because Prime Minister Han Qi was at the shrine at the time. I also called him back on purpose. All the governors were present, and Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the council, wrote 2 edicts and handed them to Zhao Shu. The other was sent back to the Hanging Arch Hall by a eunuch at noon. There is the signature of the Empress Dowager Cao on it!

Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and the others looked at each other and smiled, and the edict appointing Zhao Yun and his wife as the emperor was in hand! The official history record is like this, it omits the most important link: that is, how the Empress Dowager Cao signed and draws the charge, without mentioning a word!

Next, through Lu Xu's official document. We can know the truth of the road: it was the day before the incident, on the 20th, the Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Shu held a banquet in Tianzhang Pavilion to entertain the ministers and enjoy the peach blossoms. At that time, the emperor and the ministers took turns to drink. The great eunuchs Su Lishe and Gao Jujian added to the fun, and the Empress Dowager Cao was happy for a while and drank a few more glasses. In a drunken haze, Zhao Shu walked to her couch, holding an edict and asking her to sign it. She's really drunk! I didn't read what was written on the edict, so I drew a charge! From the beginning to the end, she didn't know what she had done! How could she have thought that the dignified emperor, prime minister, and prime minister would use such indiscriminate tricks to deceive her as a widow!

This is the ultimate reason why Zhao Shu is a slut! A person can kill, steal, rob, or even be a heinous murderer, although those are hateful, but not despised. Because it is a masculine crime. I did, what's the matter! But a scumbag like Zhao Shu is hiding in the shadows, he doesn't dare to do it, he doesn't feel uncomfortable if he doesn't do it, so he has to worship the soft knife in the ground, and the most hateful thing is what he does later!

Faced with Lu Xu's practice of picking things out and making them public, Zhao Shu was scared. He is not afraid of his father's status as the imperial exam, he is afraid of the reputation in the history books of later generations, and when the bad things are done, he thinks of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces. After all, he was the emperor, and he decreed on the 27th of 5 days later: This is the end of the Pu Yi dispute! This matter is decided!

The next thing he thought of was to appease the officials first. After the will of the Empress Dowager Cao took effect, the three people, Lü Xu, Fan Chunren, and Lü Dafang, immediately returned the imperial edict and went home to protest. Zhao Shu hurriedly sent someone to return the edict and asked them to come back to work. The three people said that it was okay, but the heresy must be abolished, and Ouyang Xiu and others must be punished "It is not compatible with repair, and the cultivation is not dethroned, and the ministers have no reason to take office"

It is clear that it is incompatible with the Zaizhi group. But what Zhao Shu wanted to do was to balance these two aspects, so he called Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, and the three of them had a secret interview, and the core question was one sentence: "Aiqing, Yanguan would rather die than bow his head, you... What to do"

Han Qi's answer was only one sentence, "Whether the ministers are loyal or evil, Your Majesty naturally knows the way" Through this sentence, Han Qi finally expressed his anger. How? Do you want to kill a donkey after unloading the mill and tear down the bridge when you cross the river? Now that you've got everything you want, you slut, you want to redeem the influence and follow the official to spoil us? There are no doors!

Ouyang Xiu is a great talent, and his words are much gentle, "Yu Shi thinks it is difficult to stand side by side? That's easy! If the ministers are guilty, they will leave the imperial history. If His Majesty thinks that the ministers are not guilty, then take the holy decree "What do you do with the holy decree?" Nonsense! Expelle the officer!

Now, Zhao Shu finally understood what was going on with the emperor. It is nominally in his hands, overturning the heavens and the earth, and omnipotent like a god, but in fact he is more subject to power than a commoner. Without momentum, there is no support, and everything is lost! For this reason, Zhao Shu could only order Lu Zhi and the other three people to be demoted out of the capital. But he knew that the three of them were innocent, so he told Ouyang Xiu not to be too responsible...

Ouyang Xiu didn't hear it! Zhao Shu's war has been won, and his battle with Han Qi has just begun! The officials must be completely defeated, otherwise they will be the unlucky ones! How easy is it to say? The governments of the Zhao and Song dynasties were interlocking, and each link was mutually restrictive. When it comes to the removal of the imperial history, the cooperation of the two officials is required. The system of the Song Dynasty stipulates that the dismissal of Taiwan officials is the same as that of the two prefectures. And once the intellectuals use the power to seal the prefix, the derogatory words of the officials will not be valid!

So Ouyang Xiu did something "very excessive". On the same day, he walked out of the palace, wrote an edict in Zhongshu Province to degrade the imperial history and go out of Beijing, bypassed the two officials, and sent people directly to the homes of Lü Xu, Fan Chunren, and Lü Dafang. He was gambling, and he was gambling on the arrogance of the royal historians. If Lu Zhi and the others pull down their faces, they just don't leave, and they must discuss with him clearly and clearly, and he will lose! But in that case, the arrogant and honest imperial historians will also be covered with dust, and they will be nostalgic for official positions and greedy for personal enjoyment in the capital.

In the end, Ouyang Xiu won the bet, and the three imperial historians cherished their reputation, didn't talk nonsense to him, and quietly left the capital. But this was only the first half, and Ouyang Xiu still didn't dare to rest assured: there were three other officials who didn't come back and were envoys in Da Liao!

On March 7, the three speech officials returned to Liao, they were copies of the first three, and after knowing the whole story, they immediately returned the edict and went home to "wait for the crime". And the punishment came down immediately, wearing this kind of glory, Lu Zhi and the other 6 people left the filthy Kaifeng Vanity Fair. (To be continued......)
