The growth of Zhezong

Silence is embarrassing. Just when this conversation was likely to end, Song Zhezong, who had always been silent and had not said a word on official occasions for more than 5 years, suddenly said, "Dafang is waiting for it" Lu Dafang, you guys go out! This is a tone that the emperors of the Song Dynasty have never used, and no one in the first 6 emperors has ever spoken to the prime minister like this, it is simply to drive people out!

Lu Dafang and the others immediately went out, and they could see that the little emperor was angry, almost undisguised anger! They couldn't have imagined what would happen in the dormitory after they were driven away. Will the little emperor do anything to his grandmother? When my grandmother was seriously ill and dying. The answer is that I don't know, the information about this piece in the history books is missing, what happened in the dormitory after Lu Dafang and the other 3 people withdrew? It's always been a mystery. All that can be determined is that the life of 'Female Zhong Yao Shun' can be called strong, she recovered, and soon sat behind the curtain again, when she was too emperor behind the scenes. And Zhezong also regained his silence, as if nothing had happened...

In fact, there is nothing surprising that Song Zhezong's peculiar personality that can be called the only one among the emperors of the Song Dynasty has also been accidentally revealed before, according to statistics, there are 4 times before and after. There are 4 times to the minister, and there are to the grandmother, and each time it reveals the uncontrollable feelings of Xiao Zhezong! He was angry, he was angry, he was resentful, he couldn't bear it, but they were all ignored!

The first time was at the funeral of the former emperor Song Shenzong. At that time, the prime minister was Cai Qu, no matter whether Cai Qu was a gentleman or a villain, a new party or an old party, he was very good to Xiao Zhezong. Many years later, when Zhezong was in power, he fondly recalled that in the first two years of his reign, the tableware and tea sets that he could use as emperor were all pottery. It was Cai Cheng who personally inquired and replaced it with bronze...

At Shenzong's funeral, Cai was very worried. The Song and Liao countries were on good terms, and the emperors of each other would send envoys to mourn at the funerals of each other's emperors. He was worried that Zhezong was too young, and he would be horrified when he suddenly saw a Liao person with a fierce demeanor and special clothes. So he introduced to Xiao Zhezong over and over again what the Khitan people looked like, what clothes they wore, and what they used to say, lest he miss something...

Zhezong listened quietly, until Cai Qu stopped speaking, and then asked a sentence, "Are the Khitans also human?" "Of course it is" Cai Qu replied in surprise.

What surprised him even more was Zhezong's next sentence "Since he is a human being, what are you afraid of him" At that moment, Cai did definitely see the same eyes as the Song Shenzong who had just died, strong, strong, and proud bloodline, Xiao Zhezong was only 9 years old at the time...

The second time was in the Feast School in the depths of the Imperial Palace. The young Zhezong is studying. Sometimes the Empress Dowager Gao would come to see him, and she stumbled upon something strange. Xiao Zhezong doesn't know why, the desks he uses are all old...

"Replace it with a new one," Empress Dowager Gao gave the order and left. But a few days later, she found that the old table had reappeared, and Song Zhezong was still using it. Grandma was very strange: such a trivial matter, she personally gave the order. Didn't take effect? After asking, I learned that this was sent back by Xiao Zhezong himself. The Empress Dowager was puzzled and asked her grandson why? The young little Zhezong replied after a while, "This is used by my father", I wonder how the Empress Dowager Gao felt at that time? Is it hi? Is it sad? Or is it fear? This child loved his father so intensely. But she destroyed all of Song Shenzong's qiē! Somewhere in the world. In other words, any person of normal intelligence should think of remedies at this time. The future belongs to young people, and how to win back the favor of his grandson, especially if this grandson is still the emperor in the substantive sense, is a matter of urgency... But the Empress Dowager Gao didn't care, her career had just begun. The political movement of dividing parties and making lists outside is in full swing, how can she sabotage these because she cares about the feelings of a child? Joke! A woman who can kill her own son will be soft on her son's son?

So there was a third time, this time just after the nurse incident. One day, after a strict, serious, positive, and pleasant office, the Empress Dowager Gao suddenly found that there was still a person sitting beside her, the current emperor Zhao Xu, and her grandson. This child, who had always been silent, became even more gloomy after the nurse incident, and sat in one place all day without saying a word, like a lifeless ornament. Grandma was happy for a while, and asked "Grandson, you see that there are so many ministers talking about things every day, do you also have your own ideas, why don't you say a word?" The whole sentence is to say that you have dealt with the honorable mother, what do you want my humble little grandson to say? As an emperor, you can imagine how strong the resentment is when you say such a thing!

It's a pity that it didn't work, and the Empress Dowager Gao continued to do her own thing, doing whatever she had to do. So Xiao Zhezong's depressed years were prolonging, and he couldn't see any light, until the Empress Dowager Gao fell ill for the first time, and Xiao Zhezong said the fourth sentence "Great defense and waiting" Combined with the experience of the first three sentences, you can fully understand Xiao Zhezong's mood at this time. The Empress Dowager Gao lay on the hospital bed and declared to the prime ministers that "for many years to protect the holy bow, the heart of the heart, the heart of the people, just want not to fall into the martyrs, so the world is peaceful" how high-sounding, fraternal and kind, think about the 13-year-old boy was "Baoyou" by her to look blank, like the living dead, she is old and cheeky to speak! And in front of the parties!

This is a naked provocation and insult! People can't bear it anymore! Song Zhezong had a small seizure again and drove away Lu Dafang and other outsiders, which revealed his embarrassment at that time...

He knows how the Empress Dowager Gao treats him, and these rulers know even more. It's these people who go to the palace every day to perform things, and they only have the Empress Dowager in their eyes, and they don't pay attention to him as an emperor at all! After the death of the Empress Dowager, the pro-government Song Zhezong finally couldn't help but tell the truth to his father's courtiers and those members of the New Party such as Zhang Dian and others, "Every minister does things, but it is up to the Empress Dowager Xuanren, and I only see her buttocks every day" These snobbish ministers, with the support of the Empress Dowager, ignore me, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Every day, kneeling and dancing in the direction of the Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain, Zhezong could only see their backs and buttocks. In Confucianism, this is an evil event that is more important, and there is no more serious sin than this for the disloyalty and rudeness of the ministers!

Now the Empress Dowager Gao asked such shameless words in front of the deacons, making Xiao Zhezong embarrassed, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face in front of the courtiers! If you don't kick them out, do you want to give them a chance to continue acting?

On February 2, 1091, the 6th year of Yuanyou, Liu Zhi was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu. On April 24, Prime Minister Lu Dafang and Vice Minister Liu Zhi rushed to recommend a person named Yang Wei. So Yang Wei was appointed as the palace attendant. But Liu Zhi would never have thought that it was this Yang Wei and this arrangement that would bring a catastrophe to him and his Shuo Party, making him unable to turn over...

On October 18, Zheng Yong, the middle of the imperial history, united with his subordinate Yang Wei to impeach Liu Zhi together! Similarly, they also made a list, a total of 30 people on the list of Liu Zhi's party: Wang Yansuo, Liu Anshi, Liang Tao, Zhu Guangting, Jia Yi... In the name of the party, all the old parties, including the important personnel of the Luo, Shu, and Shuo parties, will be wiped out! The impeachment was based on a private letter.

The letter was addressed to Xing Shu, who was demoted to Yongzhou when the Yuanfeng List was introduced. What to do? He thought about it. remembered that he and Liu Zhi still had some friendship, so he wrote a letter to Vice Minister Liu: For the sake of the past, let's intercede with my brother...

Liu Zhi relented for a while, but he didn't talk about it, and replied to the letter. There is such a comforting sentence in it: "... Yongzhou is a good place, the first thing to do is to take a break, "Brother Xing, don't be depressed." Yongzhou is a good place. You go, make a good makeover, and wait for good luck in the future...

It's very ordinary, very formal, and very warm, but after the Wutai poetry case and the Chegaiting poetry case, the writing ability of the Northern Song Dynasty officialdom has improved too quickly, and any kind of words and sentences can have new annotations...

Zheng Yong. Yang Wei and they positioned "Xiu Fu" as "Fu Zi Mingpi" combined with the meaning of Liu Zhi's whole sentence, which can be translated as-Brother Xing, don't be depressed, Yongzhou is a good place, you go. Renovate it well, and wait for the Empress Dowager to return to power one day...

The official term for returning to the government is "Fuzi Mingpi", which refers to the removal of the curtain by the 'female middle Yao Shun' and the return of imperial power to the little emperor. Zheng and Yang were indignant, Liu Zhi was the official of the Empress Dowager, and he was actually looking forward to the leader stepping down and making other plans for the future, he was a traitorous minister with ill intentions!

In addition to this incident, a past incident from many years ago has also been revealed. Before Wang Anshi's reform, when the contradictions between the old and new parties had not intensified, Liu Zhi instructed Zhang Dan's son to study at home...

The impeachment note of the two events was sent to the palace...

Liu Zhi's Shuo Party didn't panic at all. First of all, they are more home, Zheng Yong and Yang Wei want to frame them? It's delusional! As the Shuo Party, their annotation is the official answer. At the same time, Liu Zhi also gave a reply about Zhang Dan's son, and the movement of officials between officials is very common, even if it is not a long time ago, it cannot prove that he betrayed the old party. After all, Zhang Dian himself was driven out of the capital by Liu Zhi... Second, Zheng Yong and Yang Wei are people from Yushitai, and Liu Zhi, as the former boss of Yushitai and a predecessor of the old party, should everything be discussed?

But the true face of the old party clique is unbelievably terrifying, as long as someone provokes trouble, it will immediately swarm into a swarm! In two or three days, 18 impeachment letters appeared in a row, and the shape took a sharp turn! Liu Zhi is finished, on November 1, he was demoted to Yunzhou, and the entire old party fell with him, and more than ninety percent of the people were demoted out of the capital...

So far, the party struggle in the Yuan You period has finally come to an end, the events are very miscellaneous, and the personnel have come and gone, so let's summarize it slightly: starting from Sima Guang, the official group that has been suppressed for 15 years has been "fighting" against the new party, splitting itself, and the three parties of Luoshu Shuo are fighting each other, and finally the Shuo party is dominant, but suddenly a rookie has emerged... It's really life that doesn't die, and the battle never stops...

This year, in order to delay the return of Lanzhou, the brothers and sisters of Xiaoliang and Liang Yiqi of the Western Xia Dynasty tied the Western Xia Kingdom to the chariot again, and began a war that continued to harass the border of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 7 years. And the Song Dynasty's response under the rule of 'Nuzhong Yao Shun' was only to stop the New Year's gift and ban the mutual market...

In the 7th year of Yuanyou (1092), Song Zhezong grew up day by day in patience, and when he reached the age of 17, a thing that must be done in life was put on the table: he reached the age of marriage. Empress Dowager Gao auditioned for the world's officials and gentlemen, and with her own preferences, she elected the queen for Song Zhezong...

On May 16, a 16-year-old girl surnamed Meng was canonized as empress. This is a quiet, polite, considerate good girl, not very high-born, but noble enough, she should have a happy life, but unfortunately Queen Meng is the most displaced, the most peculiar, and the most repeated among all the queens of the two Song Dynasty. The reason is that she was chosen by the Empress Dowager Gao, not Song Zhezong herself...

After directing this tragedy with his own hands, the life of 'Female Zhong Yao Shun' was completed. Externally, she destroyed the military superiority and economic foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the political situation was also a mess, allowing the ranks of officials to kill each other and lay mines to blow up the dynasty. Internally, she was always depressed and resentful in Song Zhezong from the age of 10 to 18, the most important stage of growth and development in his life, not only did Zhao Xu's personality become extreme, but also harmed Zhao Xu's health, and he died young at the age of 23... In addition: The Empress Dowager Gao did her last effort before she died and ruined Zhao Xu's marriage. As a result, Zhao Xu never gave birth to a healthy son, and after his death, he could only choose an heir from his brothers... Such a grandmother, what is good for people to say?

In May, the Great Liao Kingdom gave birth to the Jurchen Jiedu envoy impeachment of Libo (the father of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, and later posthumously named Jin Shizu) died. This is a fierce man, and he can be called the roughest and most passionate one in the robbery work. He never wore armor when he went into battle, he was shirtless in the summer and single-shirted in the winter, and fighting in the war was like going to someone's house for a walk. The tribes of Huan, Sanda, Wuchun, and Womouhan, who had been visited by him, no longer existed, and they were swallowed by him into the Shengnuzhen Wanyan Division. After the tribe grew to a certain extent, he added a new title to himself, called "Du Bo Jilie" From this time, the Jurchen tribe had its own class division, and a prototype appeared, at that time, no one knew what it could become? But compared to the surroundings, it is in a class of its own...

After the death of the impeachment of Libo, the successor to the head of the Yan tribe was his fourth brother Po Rashu. Even if he had 11 sons, it would be useless, because the Jurchen Wanyan was still a semi-primitive and semi-slave tribe at this time. Father dies and son succeeds? Inheriting power as an inheritance is a good thing that comes to class society! Today's Wanyan Department only has a brother and a brother...

In October, the border of the Great Liao Kingdom was invaded by some small border tribes, and the northwest road recruited Yelu Aru to stop the minister Mogusi from leading an army to conquer and capture a large number of people. So Aru Sagu was promoted to the left and continued to reorganize the army to fight, but he mistakenly hit Mogus of the Obstruction Division, causing a great rebellion of the Obstruction Division. On the 12th, Mogusi killed the Jinwuguan Tugusi of the Great Liao State and prevented the whole clan from raising a counter-flag! At this time, the Great Liao Empire was no longer able to conquer it with its own strength, so it could only order Yelu Guosan, the king of the six tribes, to lead the troops of the Zhufan tribe to quell the rebellion. But in the face of the combat effectiveness of the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry in the future (the Liao Dynasty's Divination Department, the predecessor of the future Mongolian tribes), can Yelu Guosan's Fan troops handle it?

In the same month of the same year, the Battle of Huanqing Road also broke out between Song and Xia! First of all, I will introduce one person: Zhang Qi! The surname is Zhang, does it have anything to do with Zhang? That's right, both of them are from Fujian and are blood relatives. However, from the perspective of officialdom development, his branch is much faster than Zhang Dian's branch. Zhang Dian was the first to be an official was his father, Zhang Qi entered the house when his grandfather Zhang Pin, and became the imperial history of Kaifeng City. It's just that people with the surname Zhang seem to be born to clash with the ladies, and Zhang Pin was very unsubmissive to Liu E, the 'Wu Zetian of the Northern Song Dynasty' at that time. The result can be imagined, how can Liu E, who is not so docile to Song Zhenzong, stand this? directly drove this stubborn old man in the south across the Yangtze River and went back to his hometown to reflect...

So when Zhang Qi grew up, he had to start from scratch and get admitted step by step. This is nothing, the last thing the Zhang family is afraid of is the exam, such as Zhang Dian, who didn't report for the exam originally, because his nephew was ranked higher than him, he would rather go back and endure it for another term than lose it. Although this nephew is more than ten years older than him.

When it was Zhang Ji's turn, the scientific expedition became even more weird. was studying his homework in the capital, when news suddenly came: his father had an accident in Weizhou and was imprisoned, and the case was very urgent, and the court would be held immediately. (To be continued......)
