Describe the strife
Tart did not have an old favor because of the recommendation of Mogus, so he sent someone to recruit Mogus. Mogus then surrendered. On October 6, the day of the surrender, Mogus took advantage of the situation to sneak attack, and Jerod was killed on the spot. The tribes of Obstruction, such as Uguza, Daridia, and Basimu, were even more confident and responded one after another, and joined forces to attack the collapsed ridge. On the 8th, Liao Daozong ordered Zhulu to recruit troops. On the 9th, Zheng Jianu led his troops to reinforce the collapsed ridge. On the 10th, Yelu Hongji of Liaodao Sect personally stationed in Lotus Silk Lake. The two people of Jelu Bald and Saba are the eunuchs of the march on the northwest road, and they must suppress this rebellion of the Hindrance Department! On the 11th, 3,000 good horses were given to the Ugu tribe. On the 12th, the bottom of the obstruction jurisdiction plundered the herds on the west road of Liaoguo. On the 19th, the Wugu enemy Lie commanded the army to make Xiao Yuge a victory. On November 27, the king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelut, said that the rebellion had been put down. In January of the 9th year of the Motoyu reign (1094), the Uguzabu surrendered. Basimu and Daridi continued to rebel. In February, the mother of Bath surrendered, and the rebellion continued at Daridi. In March, Dari Bottom surrendered ...
Turning his attention back to the Song Dynasty: On February 5, Song Zhezong, who was pro-government, began his own road of 'Shaosheng Shaoshu' by promoting two people: Li Qingchen, the secretary of the household department, was promoted to the Zhongshu Shilang, and Deng Wenfu, the secretary of the military department (who had changed his name to Deng Wenbo because he avoided Gao Zunfu, the father of the Empress Dowager Gao, and now changed it back) was promoted to the right of the secretary. And on March 4, Shangshu's left servant shot Lu Dafang to dismiss the prime minister.
On the 14th, the big thing came! The emperor was in power, the country held the Enke exam as usual, and candidates from all provinces gathered in the capital, and at the pass of the palace exam, they encountered an exam question that changed the course of history!
The reason why this question can appear is largely because Su Shi is gone. If he doesn't go. With his qualifications, official position, and status in the literary world, the exam questions must be out of his hands. It's a pity, who let him go ...
The person who came up with the question has a lot of background, it is Li Qingchen, who has just been promoted! Judging from the official records alone, he is by no means below Su Shi, and even surpasses it in some places. This man is a child prodigy, and the others can write poetry at the age of 7, and he wrote an essay of several thousand words when he was 7 years old. Compared with Su Shi, Sansu went to Beijing to take the exam that year, which was a sensation. Ouyang Xiu said that Su Shi would definitely replace him. Become the next generation of literary leaders. But Ouyang Xiu also said that Li Qingchen's talent is at the same level as Su Shi. also entered the pavilion, Su Shi participated in the special exam, and Li Qingchen took the exam with everyone. Took first place. Such talent has made him rise to prominence. Stand out from the crowd in the ranks of officials. So another good thing that others couldn't dream of took the initiative to find the door - the Han family, a famous high-ranking lord in the Northern Song Dynasty, took a fancy to him, and Han Qi's brother married his daughter to him.
Therefore, Li Qingchen was a rising star in officialdom who was far more shining than Su Shi at that time. Such a skill, such a marriage. Generally speaking, as long as he continues to operate smoothly, he doesn't have to ask for anything to stand out, he is destined to be a top high-ranking official. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to fall, because of his character...
When the New Party was in power, he did not mix in. In the eyes of others, this is normal, he is a relative of Han Qi and an old party. But when Empress Dowager Gao abolished the new law during the Yuanyou period, he startled the entire officialdom. He stood up and debated with Sima Guang and them, retorting word by word: What's wrong with the new law? Where did the emperor lose power? Let's make it clear!
Only then did people see clearly that the son-in-law of the Han family, Li Qingchen, was actually a believer in Wang Anshi! So why didn't he get an active part in the 15 years that the new law was in place? At this time, the tree fell and scattered, and he came out alone, isn't he looking for death?
No! This is the special psychology of a great talent. When others flocked to fight for fame and fortune, he stood far away, which was called Qinggao. When others scramble to avoid it, afraid of causing trouble, he stands up and faces it alone, which is called ethics... Cherishing one's feathers, cherishing one's beliefs, and despising the fame and fortune that mortals value, this is the core consciousness of thousands of years of Chinese celebrities...
It's just that the ending is not very good, Li Qingchen was sent down, and at the same time he was kicked out of the lineup by the old party, and even the Han family looked at him unpleasantly. He didn't care about these, he returned to the capital after being suppressed for 9 years, presided over the exam, and came up with the following super long exam question - "Today, the choice of the compound word is given and the scholar does not know how to persuade, the official of Changping and the farmer does not increase the wealth, but the difference can be recruited to say that the miscellaneous service is sick, or the east or the north is different and the river suffers, the land is given to Rouyuan and the Qiangyi is not eliminated, and the road to the convenience of the people is also not passed." Otherwise, it may be precious, and the saint can also have it."
Try to translate it in Mandarin - over the years, the content of the exam such as poetry and song has been restored, and the selected talents can only sing and do not understand business. The Green Seedling Law was abolished, but the facilities for benefiting the people, such as Chang Ping, were not perfected, making the peasants very poor. The debate over whether the errand service law is better or the conscription law has been inconclusive, and the actual effect of the service law has been a mess. The Yellow River has been diverted, and whether to lead back to the east or to the north is uncertain, and the flood is getting bigger and bigger. Ceded the land to please the foreigners, hoping that the border would be peaceful, but I didn't expect it to backfire, and the aliens were arrogant and had a greater appetite. Giving up tax profits for the convenience of the common people, business activities are stagnant and weak. Things in the world, what works can be continued, but the fuck must have gone wrong, and it must be changed, only the most practical thing at the moment is correct, and how can the saint do things with certain rules?
What do you think? Did you break out in a cold sweat? These few sentences criticized the government actions in the Yuan You period to the fullest, from agriculture to scientific research, from service law to disaster relief, from commerce to diplomacy, all failed!
Shocking? Generally speaking, such an all-round denial is an accusation that can only be made by the previous generation of fallen kings after the change of dynasty. If you don't say that, there is no reason to overturn it. But this is the Song Dynasty in the Shunshun period, as for such a bloody criticism? The answer is yes! This is the spirit of Song Zhezong's politics after his pro-government, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, whoever has done anything in the past 9 years must even return this generation! First of all, start with the policy program!
This kind of all-round negation appeared 9 years ago, and the Empress Dowager Gao and Sima Guang completely abolished the Xining New Law. Once you have done it, don't blame the victim for fighting back!
After this exam question was sent, a new round of battle between the old and new parties finally started again! The vanguard of each of them fought on the spot in the examination room! The first round is played by the candidates...
Faced with the exam questions, the candidates knew that this was the general direction of the new government. Someone is sober. Remember why you came, follow the trend, and only then can you have the fame in front of you. They chose to criticize the government of the Yuanyu period. Some people are furious, eager to shout slogans in the examination room to find comrades, and immediately counter-criticize! This kind of person is the mainstream, 9 years of old-fashioned education, they themselves are "the choice of today's compound words and do not know how to persuade", the first sentence was scolded, what are you not angry about?
They have different ways of venting their anger in anger. There is a man named Yin Yan who is in the limelight. He didn't say a word after reading the exam questions, stood up and handed in the blank paper. Went out. After walking out of the examination hall. He said to the crowd outside, "Is it possible to fight for fame like this?" and left the capital directly. Behind him was the excited and admiring gaze of the old party. This is really a good seedling, who is he? Who taught this gentleman? The answer soon appeared - Yin Yan, a native of Luoyang, a personal disciple of the sage Cheng Hao. It can be called a red seedling. The old party within the old party. From this moment on. He became famous...
Others chose the more affordable way, and they carefully conceived and wrote one counter-criticism essay after another to refute Li Qingchen's accusations against Yuan You's political achievements in the exam questions! This kind of behavior was enough to kill heads in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nothing can be done to make a text prison, let alone such a blatant gang to do things? But in the Song Dynasty, it was very common to blame the government and even the emperor for being a manifestation of integrity and knowledge. I think that the two Su brothers did this when they took the pavilion, and in order to succeed in the rate, they set a positive and negative strategy, and Su Shi played a red face and praised Renzong for raising the current politics. Su Zhe did the opposite, scolded Renzong for being bloody, and didn't even run away with Han Qi and other ministers... What happens afterwards? Su Zhe didn't do anything, and at this time, he was the deputy prime minister of the door!
The second round of battles takes place among the examiners. The test papers are put away, two diametrically opposed arguments, who to choose? Depreciating whom? To the surprise of onlookers, the rebuttals actually won, because the examiners were on the side of the old party!
The question is strict, this result is equivalent to Song Zhezong lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, and his governance direction was denied as soon as it was released, so what do the people of the world think? How will he start his next step? There is no other way, in the face of resistance, it must be suppressed! Zhezong personally announced that this exam was invalid! It's still the same question, retake it!
This time, the examiner was changed, with Yang Wei as the main exam, and the followers of Xining's New Party were finally selected. On the 26th, 975 people including Bi gradually entered the Shi and the first... After the history book commented that "since then, the theory of the narrative has flourished, and the state affairs have changed" Song Zhezong got the result he wanted, and the information went out, I believe that the impact will soon spread to the whole country, and at the same time, the political climate in the capital will also change, and the new party and the new policy, the grand occasion of the year will finally reappear... But the little emperor was still a little happy, he made it clear that there were still people who dared to oppose him - Su Zhe!
Comrade Xiao Su, who has always been a well-behaved treasure and a silent and good person in people's minds, showed his true colors. He wrote two pieces of music, the first of which was so strong that even if Sima Guang crawled out of the grave, he wouldn't even think about it. He said: I saw the exam questions this time, it's really surprising, smashing Yuan You's political affairs and restoring the new law of Xining? It's a big mistake for you to do this, you don't know the true ideal of His Majesty Shenzong, what we did during the Yuanyou period is the last wish of the first emperor of Shenzong, all for the country and the people, for the first emperor, for His Majesty, there is nothing wrong at all... This is the general premise, and below is the core "... As for the rest, what is wrong? The father does it in the front, the son saves it in the back, and the front and back are mutually beneficial, and the filial piety of the saint is also "The reason why the old bastard before dared to repeal the new law was carried out in the name of "changing the mother to the son". Even if it is Qianqiang, after all, the elders are raised. But Su Zhe said at this time: There are mistakes in politics, which dynasty and generation have appeared, the father has done wrong, and the son has remedied it, this is the filial piety advocated by the sage, and it is a noble character...
Exalted you ghost! Song Zhezong was so angry that he was about to explode! Su Zhe deducted everything that the Empress Dowager Gao and the Yuanyou Party had done in the past 9 years on his head, and the person who abolished the new law and ruined the achievements of the first emperor of Shenzong was actually my son Song Zhezong?
Is there still a heavenly reason in this world? It's really unbelievable that the dignified deputy prime minister and the great writer actually lied to his face and put the truth known all over the world to the victims, right?
This is only part of the story. In order to make his theory more vivid, Su Zhe next gave an example: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to war with foreign countries, overhauled the palace, and spent all the treasury accumulated by his father and ancestors. As a result, the lifeblood of the people, such as salt and iron, was nationalized, which made the people's livelihood miserable and almost unstable. His son, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, appointed Huo Guang and abolished the harsh government, and the world was re-stabilized...
The implication is that Song Shenzong is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who also waged war with foreign countries, exploited internally, engaged in state monopoly, and squeezed the people's fat and ointment, but fortunately died early. Now that you have ascended the throne, it is like Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and the abolition of harsh government is the only way out. And you've done so... Of course, whether it is the specific implementation of the Empress Dowager Gao or not, it will be recorded in your name. Now that the prosperity has come, 9 years of internal and external peace, don't destroy it...
At this point, Song Zhezong was so angry that he couldn't speak. How talented and courageous does a person have to be to negate two enterprising emperors with outstanding political achievements and achievements at one time? In particular, it can force the current emperor to deny, change, and remedy his father's "immorality and dereliction of government"
Su Zhe, a worldly master who has always maintained an elegant and gentle image in the literary and artistic world, is a completely opposite image in the officialdom. During the nine years of the Yuan Yu era, he was the most ferocious, thorough, and ruthless of the old party against the enemy, and he suppressed him as much as he could. There are two things to prove:
The first thing, Cai did be besieged by the old party, degraded Lingnan, one day the Empress Dowager Gao out of the palace, the car was moving, suddenly from the pannier sedan came out of an old woman's shout, "The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, the concubine has a table" This is Cai Qu's mother Ming, she and the Empress Dowager Gao had a side of knowledge, in order to save her son, she took the risk to stop and intercede. This is something that did not exist before the Song Dynasty, there is a Song generation that treats scholars and doctors well, and never kills people for the crime of words, and now the mother of the prime minister of the dignified country is forced to do this, logically speaking, in order to look good in public opinion, Cai Cheng has to spare his life?
No! Empress Dowager Gao is sure to die of Cai! In order to achieve this goal, she did not hesitate to tell the truth nakedly and overturn the reasons for the previous public verdict. She said that Cai Qu's sin was not in those 10 poems, but in his harm to the interests of the country! For the sake of justice, he must die! Then she asked the top bosses present: Aiqing, this matter is very important, what do you think?
Those present at that time were Liu Zhi, Lu Dafang, and Su Zhe. The leader of the Shuo Party was the first to express his position, and Liu Zhi looked disdainful: This is because the Cai family changed places after seeing Lu Huiqing's demotion for 2 years, and they also wanted to pick up cheap. Daydream, don't bother!
Lu Dafang was silent...
Su Zhe spoke, and one sentence qualitatively "When Huiqing is measured, there is no three-year law of the criminal department", the Empress Dowager Gao's face turned slightly red. What is level? has done things, but has not shown traces, and every qiē has been pushed to the law. Old Madam Cai, it's not that we don't give your son a way to live, at this time and that time, he and Lu Huiqing can't compare, the law has changed!
How can they be as vicious and tense as Empress Dowager Gao and Liu Zhi?
The second thing is that when the Shuo Party was dominant, it was when the New Party was most severely suppressed. In their pride, Lu Dafang and Liu Zhi were a little uncertain, and discussed it privately, preparing to give the new party a little sweetness, promote it slightly, and ease the contradictions. After the report, the Empress Dowager Gao was also a little hesitant, maybe she was really too ruthless before? Let's take it easy...
Su Zhe suddenly appeared: Stop! It's too unprofessional, you don't understand what a political struggle is, and the contradiction between "a gentleman and a villain is the same thing, and the two must fight" is irreconcilable, and you must carry out the criticism to the end!
The possible historical turning point was cut off by Su Zhe...
Back to the present, Song Zhezong is determined to achieve his goal smoothly and hold back! He chose to remain silent, he never wanted to repeat the scene when those ministers shouted at each other through the curtain during the Yuan Yu period...
But he wanted to be quiet, but Su Zhe didn't want to! The second recital arrived. (To be continued......)
