Sima Guang came in, didn't look at anyone, and said directly to the Empress Dowager Gao: Which traitor persuaded His Majesty to repeat this evil method?

Fan Chunren immediately flashed to the side, not daring to say a word... Treacherous? If this hat is pressed, he will have to be characterized for the rest of his life, and even his father will have to be posthumously belittled!

The old bastard succeeded again, even if he was dying, he would shock the whole dynasty! But what about the world? You must know that Fan Chunren is not a new party, he sees the dangerous status quo, because the treasury is beginning to empty again!

Who will solve the practical problems of the Green Seedlings Law and the Fangtian Tax Law, the land and peasants being seized by the landlords, and the national interests shrinking again? I don't care about these Sima Guang, I just waste it! Xing or something? me!

This is the last true portrayal of his life, and there is a famous sentence that has been circulated in his biography to prove it. He can ignore any responsibility or danger!

Shi Zai: When he changed his mother to his son at the happiest time, someone once reminded him: At this time, deny, be careful that Zhezong will stand up for his father when he grows up, and then turn the world upside down again, what can the Great Song Dynasty do? The old bastard ignores "If the sky is like Zuo Song, there will be no such thing" What you did yourself, do you want God to wipe your ass?

On September 1, five months after Wang Anshi's death, Sima Guang died. Like Wang Anshi, he was 66 years old. His funeral specifications are super high, gifted Taishi, Wen Guogong, a dress, 7000 taels of silver silk, Zhen Wenzheng, in the name of the emperor rewarded a stone tablet, which is engraved with "Zhongqing Cuide" In addition, the Empress Dowager Gao took Xiao Zhezong to the scene to mourn, and she herself cried a few times in public...

In stark contrast, when Wang Anshi died, there was no Shinto monument. Two no lines, three epitaphs. Only one brother was present at the funeral. As for the subsequent posthumous gift and Su Dongpo's writing, it is a playful irony. That is actually a sentence said by Sima Guang, Wang Anshi's great enemy in his life - "Jiefu's article, there are many things that are good and righteous, but sex does not know things and likes to be wrong, and the loyalty is estranged and slanderous, and Baidu is corrupted." Today, the party corrects its mistakes, reforms its shortcomings, and unfortunately the world is gone, and repeated people will slander Baiduan. The light means that the imperial court is particularly suitable for the best and generous gifts to raise the wind of superficiality", these words except for the beginning slightly affirmed Wang Anshi's character. Nowhere is it not swearing.

Let's talk about Sima Guang. I won't say much about his political achievements and character, now let's look at his main item - history. There is a saying in the historiography circles that "two Simas through the ages" is Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty who wrote the "Historical Records" and Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty who wrote the "Zizhi Tongjian". Not only are these two surnamed Sima, but their writings are also roughly the same...

Then tell me my opinion on these two historical masterpieces and these two historical giants. There are two points: 1. The "Historical Records" is a general history of more than 3,000 years from antiquity to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completed by Sima Qian with his personal strength in the era of bamboo slips; "Zizhi Tongjian" is a 1362-year chronicle of the general history from the Warring States period to the Five Dynasties, which was completed by Sima Guang in the paper era. The draft of the Zizhi Tongjian is called the Zizhi Tongjian, and it is a hodgepodge of all historical materials in chronological order. But the author of "Long Edition" is not Sima Guang! The author of the Han and Han Dynasty parts is Liu Shu, the author of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Five Dynasties parts is Liu Chu, and the author of the Tang part is Fan Zuyu. The work of adapting and revising the "Long Edition" into the original version of today's "Zizhi Tongjian" was completed by Sima Guang. Among them, his son Sima Kang also made important contributions. All text proofreading was done by Sima Kang.

2 Both books are general histories. Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", was a native of the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Then his "Historical Records" was written from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It was written until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When writing books, he dared to tell the truth and pointed out the mistakes of the emperors and ministers of the past dynasties. What's more, he raised Xiang Yu, a sworn enemy of the Western Han Dynasty, to the status of emperor. Like Liu Bang, he enjoys the treatment of "Benji". On the other hand, "Zizhi Tongjian", the beginning starts from the Warring States period and ends at the end of the Five Dynasties, Sima Guang himself has lived in the era of the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, but he didn't mention anything about this dynasty! How wise to never get into the slightest trouble. But isn't this book meant to teach people how to be emperors? So the gains and losses of the previous emperors of this dynasty are the most important content, why do you completely ignore it?

There are some people in this world who are very special cases, they were nightmares when they were alive, and they are still nightmares when they die, no matter what, as long as they stick to him, they will immediately turn sour. Such as Sima Guang's funeral.

On that day, it happened to be a good day for the Song Dynasty to amnesty the world, and all the civil and military officials had to enter the palace to praise the emperor, and by the way, they sang and danced to have a good time. After the collective carnival, everyone walked out of the palace gate with laughter and went to catch up with the next passing scene - to offer condolences to Sima Guang.

It's just that all of a sudden they were stopped by someone. Cheng Yi blocked the team in a grand manner, in this team there are Zaizhi, two systems, three divisions, Taiwan admonitions, and relatives, all of which he can't touch, but he stands very steady, his face sinks like water, "Where are you going?" and "Sima Guangfu"

"Do you want to go to condolence? You are all wrong" Cheng Yi gave a collective lesson to the top officials of the Song Dynasty with his usual educator face - Zi said: If you have cried with grief one day, you can no longer have fun. You have just had a good time in the palace, and it is disrespectful to go to Sima Guang's mansion to pay your respects at this time...

The large contingent of officials is dumb, what do they have to do in the face of this unhappy person? Another person, even if he is the emperor, at this time it is boring to find himself, the official level crushes people to death, reprimands them in person, and makes moves behind his back, either of which can make him immortal. But Cheng Yi is different, he is the ancestor of science, a contemporary Confucian, especially Confucius, from any point of view, he can't move...

In the silence, someone snorted, "Confucius said that you can't be happy on the day of crying, but you didn't say that you can't cry on the day of joy" Make a little monster, flash a step, everyone takes a step back...

But Cheng Yi will not retreat, he is a master of science, what he pays attention to is sincerity and justice, worthy of heaven and earth, and what he hates the most is this kind of flamboyant and opportunistic things. He was furious, stood on the street and insisted on the truth, and did not let the officials go no matter what!

At this time, a man walked out of the ranks of officials. As mentioned earlier: This world is very big, and with Cheng Yi's divine aura, there are still a very few people who are not afraid of him. This person is one of them, and he is currently Hanlin and a student of Su Shi. He walked up to Cheng Yi with a smile and turned to face everyone, "What Master Cheng said is well-founded, this is the etiquette set by the famous uncle Sun Tong of the Han Dynasty." It's famous."

Laughing instantly, everyone present is knowledgeable, uncle and grandson... That's a declining person in the Han Dynasty, Cheng Yixue is not good, you have to be like this example!

How can the great master of science receive this! Su Shi has always been a flamboyant and low-key master in his eyes, and he dares to be rude to him under the blue sky and white sun! In a fit of rage, he turned and walked away. Fortunately, he was still sane, and he didn't choose to fight with Su Shi alone, and he had a verbal fight with the first writer of the Song Dynasty, and he was determined to vomit blood on the street. Cheng Yi is gone. The officials were in higher spirits than when they first left the palace. Walked all the way to Sima Guangling Hall, saluted collectively, and then went back to their respective homes...

When I got home, there was a new joke. Su Shi was still unsatisfied. At home, he gave Cheng Yi a nickname, "Uncle Sun Tong in the Bad Room", which is the name of a place outside Kaifeng City. Very remote. Countrified. This sentence is read together, which means that in that remote and stupid place where no one goes, there is a person called... Cheng Yi...

Wahaha, the officials of Kaifeng were all amazed. Su Shi scolded people so well... It's really high! Before Cheng Yi entered Beijing, no matter how famous he was, he was essentially a farmer on the edge of Yishui in Luoyang.

The laughter continues, in people's hearts, and even in Su Shi's heart, this is just a temporary joke, life needs ridicule and self-deprecation. It's part of socializing. But who could have known, it was this little joke just now that put the Northern Song Dynasty on the road to destruction...

The nightmare of officialdom - the party struggle has finally begun! The Northern Song Dynasty began to turn bad from this moment...

On October 3, the Great Liao State sent an envoy to canonize Li Qianshun as the governor of Xia State Affairs. On the 8th, the envoys of Western Xia mourned. The Song Dynasty sent Mu Yan and Zhang Nan to the mourning and brought the edict "The land of the five roads to cut down the summer, wait for you to return the soldiers and civilians captured in the battle of Yongle City, and return them as soon as possible"

In December, in the examination of the pavilion personnel, Cheng Yi, as the world's first great Confucian, the ancestor of science, and the emperor, was not him, but Su Shi. Su Shi was very happy, and he decided to come up with a high-level topic: "Today's imperial court wants the loyalty of the master and the sect, and is afraid that hundreds of officials will not raise their positions or as for their wives." If you want the essence of the Fa Shen Sect, I am afraid that the prison priest will obey the order and ignore its meaning and be engraved, "How about this topic?"

As soon as the exam questions were announced, someone immediately jumped out. Jia Yi and Zhu Guangting impeached Su Shi for his rebellion, and this topic insulted Renzong and Shenzong. One is reluctant, the other is Junke, is this what our supreme emperor is?

The big hat pressed over, and Su Shi immediately retorted. First, this topic is to the point, and where the current Zhezong Dynasty is going is the most important thing. Second, I didn't just have one question, which was hand-picked by the emperor as the exam question.

Mibi pro-point? It's time to be alright, right? Hehe! What does a counselor do? It's to find fault with the emperor! Su Shi wants to carry the emperor out to suppress people? Pure delusion!

Jia Yi and Zhu Guangting stepped up their efforts and continued to impeach. Finally, another counselor, Lu Tao, couldn't see it, he thought that Su Shi's exam questions were fine, the Song Dynasty allowed ministers to speak, even if Renzong and Shenzong were alive, there were often people who made mistakes, why didn't they work at this time? Obviously someone has ulterior motives! He asked the emperor to pay attention: Jia and Zhu are from Henan, and they are both disciples of Cheng Yi. It's obviously a party of its own and bullying people from other places!

Oh? Everyone's eyes lit up, and there is such an insider? But in a blink of an eye, the gaze that looked at Lu Tao also became complicated, if nothing else, because Lu Tao is from Sichuan like Su Shi...

In January of the 2nd year of Yuanyou (1087), suddenly someone stepped in again, he was neither the Henan gang nor the Sichuan gang, he was the Hebei gang. The official Wang Yansuo accused Su Shi of being unforgivable, because he was broken in nature! First of all, he took the performance of the two emperors as an examination question, and it was wrong to let the courtiers judge. When a mistake is made, and the responsibility is shifted to the current emperor, it is not only the professional ability that is wrong, but the moral character!

Yes... The team of speech officials collectively applauded, and Lord Wang was mighty! What made Wang Yansuo furious was that the last time Jia Yi and Zhu Guangting impeached Su Shi, the official holy decree pardoned Su Shi for his innocence. This time, when he was impeached, the official took back the previous decree.

Dare to love him, he can't compare to Jia and Zhu! The holy decree forgives Su Shi of innocence, which means that he is guilty but not punished. recovered the edict, that is, it was thought that Su Shi was not guilty at all, and the officials were wrong!

This shows the difference between Lord Wang and the rest, whether it is Jia and Zhu in Henan or Lu Tao in Sichuan, they are traditionally marginal forces in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Henan has not flourished since ancient times, and the Sichuan people have only come out of the trough since Su Shi, how can they be compared with Wang Yansuo? He has his own circle, a native of Hebei, which has always been the core force of the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty!

Lord Wang suddenly escalated the contradiction without limit. What is Su Shi? Exam questions don't matter? He burned the fire to the most mysterious place in the depths of the palace!

Wang Yansuo said, "May Your Majesty not take away right and wrong with the love of containment, and the world will be very fortunate" I hope that the emperor will not be confused by the special preferences of some people who can influence you, so that the world will be blessed! Who are some of them? The whole officialdom knows it, but no one dares to say it! This is Su Shi's biggest talisman, as long as there is this, although the world is big, no one can hurt him...

What is Su Shi's amulet? Woman! In the Wutai poetry case, the Empress Dowager Cao, who was dying, interceded for him. After the death of Shenzong, Su Shi was quickly promoted and returned to the capital, no matter who objected, why? Su Shi himself may have only learned about it by chance one night a few years later, but the gossip has long spread throughout the capital...

On the night of April 5, 1088, Su Shi was on duty in the Hanlin Courtyard, which was a characteristic of the work of the two officials, and the emperor's orders would come out of the palace at any time, and at least one Hanlin must be waiting in the class at 12 o'clock every day. Su Shi had a very strange encounter that night, someone in the palace came, but instead of giving an order, he was summoned to the palace. He met the Empress Dowager Gao and the young Zhezong. The Empress Dowager asked, "What was the position of the scholar before entering Beijing?" and "Deputy Envoy of the Ruzhou Regiment Training"

"What is the job now" "Hallym Bachelor"

"Do you know why you rose so fast," Su Shi replied hesitantly, "It's His Majesty's wrong love."

"No," Empress Dowager Gao shook her head. Su Shi was more careful, "It is the appreciation of the Empress Dowager"

"No," the Empress Dowager Gao still shook her head. Su Shi stood up suddenly, "Although the minister is not talented, he still knows self-love, and he does not dare to make friends with relatives and nobles, and try to seek an official position" When he said this, he was very sad, promotion was not the official meaning, and only the recommendation of his colleagues and bosses remained, which was an insult to him, and he was questioned by the Queen Mother in person!

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Gao said, "Promoting your official is the last order of Emperor Shenzong." He was fascinated by the articles he read during the meal, and whenever he did, the chamberlains knew that it must have been written by you. He said that you are a genius, but unfortunately he died before he could recall you..."Su Shi cried bitterly, and the Empress Dowager and Xiao Zhezong also shed tears...

From this incident, can you see that it is the Divine Sect that loves Su Shi? Or is it the love of the Empress Dowager herself? It's just a lie! Shenzong does love talents, and the Wutai poetry case does not kill Su Shi as proof. But to say that he had a will to summon Su Shi back to Beijing for reuse, it would be funny. After he was critically ill, he couldn't even speak for the crown prince's canonization, and he still had the leisure to arrange Su Shi? Take 10,000 steps back, if there is such an order, will the Empress Dowager Gao definitely carry it out?

If she wants to do it, she will do it! This is the iron law of the Yuanyou period, the only main theme! At this time, Wang Yansuo knew that she was Su Shi's backstage, but she still moved Su Shi, but after it didn't work, she actually pointed to the harem, picked out the matter, and exposed her!

Empress Dowager Gao was very angry, she didn't understand why anyone dared to challenge her until now? For example, this Wang Yansuo, just an ordinary Beijing official, dared to use the name of her grandson to warn her? There's no king's law!

Of course, she would never think about it: Wang Yansuo is a speech official, don't say that she is just the queen mother, even if the emperor himself, it is true. The problem is that the emperor is nothing in the eyes of the 'female Zhongyao Shun'? In this life, she has seen the emperor the most, up to Renzong, Yingzong, down to Shenzong, Zhezong, none of them can take her, she has always been lawless, and suddenly she was confronted by a little official, and she was very uncomfortable. The result of the discomfort is that she used her previous invincible nirvana - swearing and swearing!

From this moment on, the atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall of the Song Dynasty changed. (To be continued......)
