On November 6, Zhang Yaozuo finally stepped down and was not the third envoy. Victory! A huge victory? Master Bao's only major event in the history of the Song Dynasty has been completed! So should you be carnival and proud? Wait! Bao Zheng has been so angry that his head is full of bruises and blood, and he wants to kill!

Because Zhang Yaozuo lost one or three envoys, but exchanged for four super grand titles, each of which was an honor that the officials of the Song Dynasty could not look forward to for half their lives: on the day of the dismissal of the three envoys, Zhang Yaozuo served as the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Academy, the envoy of Huaikang Festival, and the envoy of Jingling Palace. The next day, he was appointed as the herd herding envoy again. On the second day, Zhang Yaozuo's two sons were born as Jinshi.

This has never happened in the 100 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty! Disaster is really coming! The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was shaken, and every official issued a common voice, and they unanimously agreed: This is a greater disaster than the diversion of the Yellow River! How can you, Emperor?

From this moment on, during the Qingli period, due to the dispute between the new political gentlemen and villains, the Yushitai and the Zhiyuan joined forces again! They vowed to cut off Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Guifei, and the minions of other accomplices in the Zhang group, and give the Great Song Dynasty officialdom a big cleaning!

The specific action is to go it alone. On the 10th, Bao Zheng, the boss of the Zhiyuan Academy, went to the book, and his name was "Playing Zhang Yaozuo", which was full of curses. For example, Zhang Mou's "no merit and no shame", "the filth of the true Qing Dynasty, the charm of the day" and even the emperor were splashed with sewage, your more than 30 years of Qing morality is corrupted today, how to face the subjects of the world?

On the 11th, the boss of the Imperial Historical Observatory raised his head to the palace and said to the emperor: I want to impeach Zhang Yaozuo! If you don't agree, I will resign!

The Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court were pressing forward step by step, and the emperor was very calm. This kind of thing is not new, I think that when Empress Guo was abolished, the descendants of Kong Sheng and the contemporary model Zhongyan stirred up trouble together, didn't they also collectively reimburse? So Zhao Zhen sat very firmly, he suppressed all his opinions, and did not oppose or agree. Let the time kill everything...

He was wrong. He probably didn't expect that giving a relative some honorable and unreal power titles for what would make the entire officialdom go crazy! This matter is indeed worth pondering, is it really just out of righteous indignation, to maintain the order of the imperial court's promotion? Not necessarily, right? But that's for later...

Immediately afterwards, at the Zhengshuo Dynasty meeting on the 15th, Taiwanese officials broke out collectively. They stopped all the officials when they went down to court, and today they will work together to make the emperor listen to us!

Wang Juzheng and Bao Zheng each led their own elite teams, a total of 7 people. returned to the main hall and stopped the emperor who was going back to the palace. Zhao Zhen, who has been fighting for a long time and is always ruthless, immediately understood what was going to happen, he was really a little annoyed, he didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and went straight to the point to find a topic for them - to talk about Zhang Yaozuo again? The Jiedu envoy is just a rough official, what is there to fight for?

As soon as the words came out, the wind and clouds changed color. The most powerful, simple and rude official of the Northern Song Dynasty was born! Introducing Karasuke! This person was originally the last of the 7 officials in the upper hall, but at this time he squeezed out from behind. One sentence made the emperor fall: Taizu and Taizong of this dynasty have all served as festival envoys, I'm afraid they are not rough officials!

Zhao Zhen was shocked and angry, he didn't pay attention, and he was caught! I'm thinking about how to get it back. The situation has deteriorated further, these people threw him down and pounced on the ministers standing under the corridor of the palace, and the main target was Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty! You don't follow the rules of your ancestors. I only know how to befriend concubines and make relatives, and I am shameless to this point, and I don't resign for anything. What face stands above the court?

Seeing that the most solemn meeting hall in the world was about to become a vegetable market where all martial arts were staged, Zhao Zhen immediately made a decision and announced his retirement from the dynasty. This is the emperor's prerogative, and it is also the most difficult trick. The officials can't help it, they can't learn from Kou Zhun, press the emperor into his seat, and let him listen honestly, right?

The day was dispersed like this, Zhao Zhen slowly walked back to the depths of the palace, from excitement to frustration along the way, from annoyance to amusement: What's the matter, everyone Aiqing, you can't worry about other serious things?

He decided to back down first. On the 16th, Zhang Yaozuo was deprived of the two envoys of the Xuanhui Southern Court and the Jingling Palace, and the remaining two envoys were retained, and promised: From now on, the house of the concubine will not be allowed to enter the two governments to govern. At the same time, he warned the Taiwan Department and ordered them to go to the palace to talk about things in the future, and first go to Zhongshu Province to find the prime minister and ask for a pass! In this way, 50 boards on each side can be calmed down, right? The emperor really hopes that he won't toss anymore, okay? There are so many serious things in the world: the Yellow River is still flooding, the country is still in deficit, and the south is still rebelling, this is the major event of the national economy and people's livelihood!

But the emperor is wishful thinking. Whether it is Zhang Guifei or the officials, they still do their own thing. Zhang MM regards honor as life, and the pillow wind keeps blowing: I want 4 envoys, I want 4 envoys, I want 4 envoys... The officials over there are sharpening their knives, Zhang Yaozuo is just a small beginning, and the real goal is still to come!

So the matter intensified, and one day, the emperor quietly restored Zhang Yaozuo's envoy to the Xuanhui Southern Academy, and Lord Bao immediately became popular! He rushed to the Golden Palace, this time he went out of the way, he asked to drive Zhang Yaozuo out of the capital and go to other places to be an official, so that he would never give up, and something big would happen sooner or later. The emperor was very patient and consulted with him, but he was forced to wash his face! Bao Zheng sprayed his face... That day, he returned to the harem again, and Zhang MM greeted him with a smile on his face, and what else did he want to say. Zhao Zhen finally lost his patience, pointed to his face and said: You just want 4 envoys, 4 envoys, I don't know if Bao Zheng is a speech official?

This is the end of the Zhang Yaozuo incident! The emperor made a guarantee: If Zhang Yaozuo is promoted again in the future, he will first seek the opinion of the Taiwan counselor. These words came from the mouth of the emperor, and it can be said that the world is shocking, the king of a country cannot act arbitrarily! But Bao Zheng is not satisfied, cutting off the Zhang Group's action is only the first step of victory, and the bigger battle is behind! They are targeting Prime Minister Wen Yanbo! In their opinion, this person is the most evil and harmful tumor in the Zhang Group, and it must be defeated!

On February 3, 1051, the Yelu sect sent Xiao Youkuo to envoy to Western Xia to ask for the party's traitors. On May 4, Xiao Youkuo returned from Western Xia and brought back the top table of the Empress Dowager and the tribute items such as horses, camels, cattle and sheep. On the 20th, the Western Xia envoy entered Liao, begging for the return of Tanglong Town, which had been captured by the Liao army in the second battle of Xia Liao, and asked to stop the construction of cities on the border between the two countries, and Zong Zhen agreed. On June 7, Zong Zhen ordered the wife of Li Yuanhao and the soldiers and civilians of Western Xia who had been captured in various battles to be placed in Suzhou, Tokyo Province, and sent the goods obtained from the expedition to the Great Song Dynasty.

On May 23, the River and Canal Division was established, under the jurisdiction of the Third Division, and tried to solve the most troublesome river problem in the Great Song Dynasty.

On September 7, Xia Zhu died. After his death, he still enjoyed the honor, and posthumously presented the Taishi, the Chinese Book Order, and the Title Literature. But Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's great-grandfather Zhao Wei in the Tang Dynasty was a document, how could a courtier be the same as Emperor Xuzu? So I want to change! But this change is a step forward in a more respectful direction, and it is actually called 'Wenzheng'! This is the highest nickname that all the civil servants of all dynasties dreamed of! In the entire 319 years of the Two Song Dynasty, only 6 ministers won this honor (the highest nickname of the military general is 'Wu Mu', such as Yue Fei and Yue Wu Mu), but Xia Zhu, who was recognized as a great traitor, got it! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Sima Guang, a well-known figure in the history of the Song Dynasty, the main author of "Zizhi Tongjian", the most important etiquette, and also nicknamed 'Wenzheng' after his death, stood up: "The beauty of the man is extremely Wenzheng." Who is Zhu, but it is to get this "after Sima Guang 2 consecutive sparse, Liu Chang 3 sparse, the last to decide that Lord Xia's nickname is 'Wenzhuang'

In October, the general attack of the officials on Wen Yanbo began! From this time, Tang Jie, who was in the limelight at the time, came forward and impeached Wen Yanbo and was recommended by the concubine as the prime minister. Since taking power, "the monopoly of power, since the three divisions, Kaifeng, counselors, law temples, two systems, three museums, all the divisions and other important positions, all out of their doors" has completely controlled the government. Let the hundred officials dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they must be dismissed! In order to save the emperor's worries, they also proposed a replacement: Fu Bi came out of the mountain to be the prime minister!

Zhao Zhen felt very uncomfortable. This is not just scolding Wen Yanbo. is even scolding him: You can't even control your wife, and you actually collude with the ministers outside to this point, are you still a man? Anger rises, but the emperor's mind and these officials are not at the same level after all. He did it the same way: put the movement aside and ignore it...

But Tang Jie added fuel to the fire and said: Your Majesty, I am the prime minister who was impeached because of righteous indignation! I've been ready to get out of the pan for a long time. Are you still afraid of being released and demoted? The implication is to impeach to the end!

Zhao Zhen was finally enraged and ordered the two governors to be summoned into the main hall. After a while, Wen Yanbo, Pang Ji and others arrived. Zhao Zhen showed Tang Jie's recital: You all take a look, forget about anything else, and actually say that the position of prime minister is recommended by the concubine, what kind of system is this?

The ministers looked at each other, not to mention whether the relationship between Wen Yanbo and the harem was true or false, and the superficial reasons for impeachment alone did not establish the "dictatorship... "It took Lu Yijian a lifetime to command hundreds of officials, and Lord Wen did it in just two or three years?"

But Tang Jie didn't care, he came directly to Wen Yanbo, and said with great righteousness, "You should introspect, if there is such a thing, you can't hide it in front of Your Majesty."

Lord Wen is very depressed, what should I do? Deny? But the matter of Xishu lantern brocade has made a big fuss, and the entire court has known about it. So is it admitted? Come on! I'm not crazy yet! At the critical moment, the privy deputy envoy Liang Shi came forward and shouted at Tang Jie's palace, and disappeared for me immediately!

Tang Jieli ignored it, standing in the center of the hall, and was determined to wait for a result... The results came out, and the emperor sent him to the Imperial Historical Observatory for processing. But do you know where the Imperial Historical Observatory is? That's Karasuke's office!

So on the 19th, Tang Jie was demoted to Chunzhou, and on the 21st, he was transferred to Yingzhou at the request of his top boss, King Juzheng of the Imperial History.

At the same time, on the 22nd, Wen Yanbo resigned. The privy councillor changed Pang Ji to prime minister. Governor Gao Ruoqu was reappointed as a privy envoy. On the 23rd, Liang Shi, the deputy privy envoy, was reappointed as the governor, and Wang Yaochen was promoted to the deputy privy envoy.

To sum up, it is very famous in Chinese history, and it is a great feat that has been talked about by Confucian students throughout the ages: the brave defender Tang Jie, with his own strength, was not afraid of power, and brought down the dignified prime minister! It's really passionate, eternal!

But if you want me to say: This is what Bao Zheng and Tang Jie have eaten and supported. only looks at the small stains on the political opponents, but turns a blind eye to the real world events (the great diversion of the Yellow River, the rebellion of Nong Zhigao). Take Wen Yanbo as an example, in the days when he was impeached and hostile by the officials, he has solved a lot of problems with the country's redundant military and redundant expenses.

He and Pang suggested disarmament in Shaanxi, and that anyone over the age of 50 or who voluntarily returned to agriculture could go home. In this way, the country can save military salaries, and the people can also farm land, a win-win situation. But almost the entire court was against it, citing fear. These people know martial arts, are used to playing with knives, and have been idle in the army for many years, which will be put back in the township, once life is not satisfactory, who will bear the rebellion? Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji promised: If anyone rebels, they can kill their entire family. So 35,000 soldiers in the northwest were disarmed and returned to the fields, which was a blessing for more than 30,000 families! As for the country, it saves 2.45 million yuan in military spending every year! Is this amount five or six times more than the money given to the Great Khitan and Western Xia every year?

There are many more such things! Wen Yan Bo is from the Pang Dynasty, this is a rare pair of prime ministers in the Renzong Dynasty who do business. In this way, it was broken up by the "pure officials"...

On March 2, 1052, Bao Zheng was appointed as a scholar of Longtu Pavilion and a transfer envoy of Hebei. A few months later, he was reappointed as the pacification envoy of Gaoyang Guanlu, and the only major thing he did was to exempt the officials and people of Hebei from more than 100,000 public money accumulated over the years.

On the 21st, Guo Jian made another improvement to the most cutting-edge weapon of the Song Dynasty, the bow and crossbow, and invented the invincible meteor crossbow in the Duyuan Rushing Formation.

In the south, Nong Zhigao really doesn't understand: isn't it a very popular good thing to belong to the imperial court? Why have I waited so long and still haven't responded? His understanding was that sincerity was not enough, so this time he sent a letter made of gold, and after running back and forth N times, Nong Zhigao's fiery loyalty finally cooled down...

It seems that the threshold of the Song Dynasty is too high, and it is not something that we countrymen can enter! In fact, he was wrong, how much the emperor of the Song Dynasty in Kaifeng City looked forward to his performance, and the reason why this situation occurred was entirely because of Chen Heng, the director in Yongzhou City!

At this time, two Han people suddenly took the initiative to come to the door: Huang Wei and Huang Shimi. They told Nong Zhigao: Why bow to the Song Dynasty? That is not the era of Zhao Kuangyin and Pan Mei, you just have to send troops to fight, Guangxi's border defense is like tofu scum!

It's time to test Nong's rebellion index! The party's rebellion is already a family business, and three generations of grandparents have accumulated experience. But Nong Zhigao is different, the natives in the deep mountains and old forests, have they ever been to the state-level cities of the Great Song Dynasty, and they don't necessarily want to rebel? Does he dare? Nong Zhigao really dares! (To be continued......)
