The reason why this is the case is believed to be related to the "gentleman", the most noble term in the feudal era. What is a loss of office? The gentleman is poor, and he is at ease. When Confucius praised his most proud disciple Yan Hui, he said, "A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures" is to make this poorer and more glorious energy! What is disillusionment? Gou Yu is good at what he does, although he dies nine times without regret. As long as I like it, it doesn't matter if I die nine times. There is a masochistic pleasure in this that the saints and disciples persisted for thousands of years, until the Ming and Qing dynasties. For the sake of trivial things, please ask the emperor to beat me, it's cool to kill me! What's more, a major event like the New Deal reform can be exciting in a tragedy, and I don't hurt at all! Even exile is a joy...

And how can gentlemen accuse each other? That's the quality of the vendors along the street, the performance of the shrews scolding the street! That's why the history of the Song Dynasty left such a record in the above dispute between Fan Zhongyan and Du Yan and Fu Bi in the Golden Palace - Fan Zhongyan usually does things like a father and fights with Du Yan, Du Yan is not angry... Knock out your front teeth and swallow it in your stomach, the gentleman has to stand up straight at all times, don't be ashamed! They will never admit it: this kind of character is a second-class cripple in officialdom!

There is a sentence in the American novel "The Catcher in the Rye" that "the mark of an immature man is that he is willing to die heroically for a certain cause, and the mark of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a certain cause" The Qingli gentlemen were said to be right, they would rather die heroically than live humbly for the new world of the Great Song Dynasty. In the face of Xia Zhu's lies, is there no other way than to resign and retire to prove his innocence? At least they can't leave, just like Xia Zhu? Whoever impeaches, I just don't move! But they won't! In reality, with the feats of a hundred battles at the border and the desire to make the country rich and the people strong, this level of pursuit was actually ruined on a forged anonymous letter, which is simply a farce! From this point of view. How can there be a little bit of nobility and majesty?

On March 8, the Guangxi transshipment envoy Du Qi pacified the Xifan barbarian rebellion in the Ding District.

On August 11, with the supervision of the imperial history Bao Zheng as the envoy, he sent an envoy to the Great Khitan.

On October 28, the system of Prime Minister and Privy Counsellor was abolished. At that time, it was an expedient measure because the Western Xia and Khitan invaded the border at the same time and the border pass was not appeased. Now that the three parties have negotiated peace with each other, the principle of separation of powers, which is the most important part of the family law of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, has been put forward again. The two prime ministers, Jia Changchao and Chen Zhizhong, took the initiative to dismiss the privy envoys.

In July, Shisuke had fallen ill and died, but Natsu-sama, who had a deep grudge against him, said that he would not believe anything. It happened that Xuzhou Kong Zhiwen plotted to rebel and copied the letter from Shi Jie from his home. So Lord Xia once again exerted his housekeeping skills: forging letters. and threatened: Shi Jie is not dead, and now he has secretly sneaked to the Great Khitan. Conspiracy to raise troops. And he was instructed by Fu Bi to go, and Fu Bi will be his internal response. Our Great Song is almost over! So on November 10, he ordered Jingdong Road to send a prison envoy to verify Shi Jie's life and death in detail.

In July of the 6th year of Qingli (1046), Wang Gongchen, the envoy of the third division, put forward his opinion on the redundant soldiers: there were 120,000 forbidden troops in Taizu, 180,000 in Taizong, 400,000 in Zhenzong, and now it is close to 1 million. The amount of grain and grass to be consumed by such a huge redundant army is really not something that can be handled by the three divisions and one general yamen. Let each party raise it for themselves. So on the 7th, an edict was issued: Xia Zhu and Hebei Road, Zheng Jian and Hedong Road, Cheng Lin and Yongxing Military Road Grain and Grass Planning.

On the 19th, Yelu Zongzhen went to Qiushan to hunt, and the historian Xiao Hanjianu accompanied him, and repeatedly admonished Emperor Liao to hunt and hurt people, but Zongzhen did not listen. This time in Akiyama, bears, tigers and other animals killed and injured dozens of people. This time, Xiao Hanjianu did not admonish. Written directly into the history books. Yelu Zong really saw it and ordered him to erase it on the spot. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hanjianu wrote it again as soon as he came out of the imperial camp. Yelu Zongzhen was speechless, and could only sigh, "The history should be like this" One day, Zong Zhen asked Xiao Hanjianu, "You said that among the emperors of our Liao Kingdom. Who can be called the Maven?" Xiao replied to Mu Zong, "Zong Zhenqi Dao" Mu Zong? Isn't it the Sleeping King? Sleepy, alcoholic, moody, can such a person be a sage?" Xiao replied "Although Mu Zong was tyrannical, but Mu Zong was once, and the people were lightly paid. Recently, His Majesty went hunting in the autumn mountains. The minister heard that the people were dead and wounded. In such a comparison, isn't Mu Zong virtuous under His Majesty?" On the 23rd, Yelu Zongzhen issued an edict prohibiting trampling on people's fields during hunting.

October 1. For Song Xia to discuss the boundary matter, since March last year, Zhang Zizao has been running back and forth many times. The focus is on Yanzhou, the Security Army, Fengzhou and other places. This time, the Great Song Dynasty decided not to give in again, and ordered Zhang Zizao to bring the map on the Hedong Jingluo Zheng Jian to negotiate with the Western Xia without giving an inch. On November 3, due to Zhang Zizao's illness on the way, Chu Jianzhong was ordered to rush to Yanzhou to represent Zhang and discuss the Song-Xia border.

But it is obvious that the most important and greatest pleasure for Li Yuanhao now is not Song Xia Heping, but women.

Li Yuanhao wanted to choose the crown princess for him and the crown prince born to Empress Yeli, Ning Lingge. And Yeli Yuqi, who was highly suspicious of Li Yuanhao, decided to launch a coup d'état at his nephew's wedding and kill Li Yuanhao! It's a pity that the matter failed, so Yeli was killed, Yeli's clan was wiped out, and even the harem with Li Yuanhao was reshuffled, and Queen Yeli was abolished. And this is not the end, everyone will soon know what impact the tragic extermination of the Lu Daoye Li clan will have on the national fortunes of the Western Xia for a hundred years...

Li Yuanhao chose the girl who did not move for the crown prince Ning Lingge. On the day of the wedding, Li Yuanhao personally presided over the wedding, and something big happened! Damn it! Is it also a sin for a girl to be too pretty? It is said that the beauty is unreasonable, Li Yuanhao had difficulty breathing, his thinking paused, and after his brain was restarted, he smiled at his son: Dear child, do you avoid it first?

He found new clothes for himself and stood with his bride. This woman is mine! In this way, Wu Yi became Li Yuanhao's 7th queen, and Li Yuanhao rebuilt the palace in the base camp of Tiandu Mountain for the new queen to live in. Then the deposed Queen Yeli cried and made a fuss, and her two brothers and clansmen were killed, and she was deposed. The woman who was supposed to be her daughter-in-law has now become the biggest junior who competes with herself? She was very sad and ran to cry to Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao may be a little more sluggish than Cao Cao, but he also came back a little afterwards: people, it seems that they killed the wrong person and killed them in a hurry? Not to mention killing two in a row? Regretting it, he began to look for the bereaved families of the Yeli brothers, and wanted to double the pension and keep it safe. So he found the wife of Yeli Yuqi, who had become a monk in the nunnery. Then take her into the palace and let her sister-in-law and Empress Maino accompany her, right?

As a result, after entering the palace, Li Yuanhao once again had difficulty breathing, and his thinking paused: God, why are you harming me like this, she is so beautiful! So the Muzang clan became the 8th queen of Li Yuanhao's secret. This is of great significance to the history of Western Xia. Gotta talk about it. The Wuzang clan did not stay in the new palace of Tiandu Mountain for a few days, and was discovered by the Yeli clan, so he was kicked out, and had to continue to live in the ring altar temple in Xingqing Mansion, but Li Yuanhao often went to the temple to have trysts with her. So she will be pregnant, Li Yuanhao will die tragically, she will become the empress dowager without being able to confirm whether the child in her womb is male or female, and the Western Xia will be 3 successive emperors for 51 years under the dictatorship of the mother party and the situation of decline...

And what about the original crown prince Ning Lingge? You can think about it: my mother was abolished, my uncle's family was completely wiped out, and my beautiful wife, who was supposed to be herself, now has to call her mother? Will he still have any feelings for his father? So forgive him: after more than 1 year, he will be used to kill his father, and at the same time he will be killed by the person who used him... But is it his fault?

On November 11, Yelu Zongzhen appointed Xiao Xiaoyou as the prime minister of the Northern Mansion and Yelu Renxian as the king of the Southern Courtyard (the prototype of Xiao Feng in "Tianlong Babu" appeared?). Xiao Ge was the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan. Xiao Ge was abusing his power to flatter, and it was he who persuaded the emperor to release Li Yuanhao when Li Yuanhao came to apologize for his crimes, and brought that defeat to the Liao army. Now Xingzong is still pampered with him. Yelu Renxian's younger brother and the Xuanhui of the Southern Courtyard made Yelu Yixian repeatedly advise, but Zong Zhen did not listen. There was a banquet, after the wine and food were full, the aftershow was matching gambling, Yelu Yixian happened to be paired with Xiao Ge, and Yixian was furious, "I can't enter the virtuous and retreat, I am already ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors." How can you bet with the national thief now?" Next, Yi first took advantage of the drunkenness to scold Xiao Ge for bringing disaster to the country and the people, so that Emperor Xingzong could not come to power. Fortunately, with the queen's persuasion, this wine banquet + gambling banquet did not cause a tragedy in the end. A few days later, Yelu Zong really wanted to remove Yelu Yixian's officials. Xiao Ge pretended to say, "Righteousness has no talent first, and the official should be dismissed." But everyone in the world knows that he is loyal and upright, if he is dismissed because of a small contradiction at the banquet, I am afraid that people will not be convinced." Emperor Liao slowly alienated the Yelu Renxian brothers, and favored Xiao Ge even more...

On the 25th, Zhao Zhen went out of the palace to hunt, which was the first time in the world. The sky is high and the clouds are light. The clouds were relaxed, and he rode his horse to gallop in the wilderness, free. Unrestrained. These were one of the few truly happy days in Song Renzong's life...

On March 21, 1047, the 7th year of Qingli, Jia Changchao dismissed the prime minister and Wu Yu dismissed the privy deputy envoy. Xia Zhu was appointed as the privy envoy and Wen Yanbo was appointed as the privy deputy envoy. On the 23rd, Wen Yanbo was reappointed as the governor of the council, and Gao Ruona was appointed as the deputy privy envoy. On the 28th, Chen Zhizhong, the prime minister of the Jia Changchao cabinet, Song Zhen, and Ding Du, the governors of the political affairs, were each demoted to one level, and the auxiliary government remained the same. On April 11, the three were reinstated.

In June, Xia Zhu, who had returned to the privy council, was very excited. He's going to take revenge! The first choice is Shi Jie, who nailed him to the pillar of historical shame with "Qingli Shengde Poem"! It is said that Shi Jie is dead, but Lord Xia insists on emphasizing that Shi Jie is not dead, and Shi Jie's so-called death is a conspiracy, that is, he took the opportunity to abscond to the Great Khitan to send a letter to Fu Bi, and to subvert the Song Dynasty with internal and external cooperation!

For this matter, Renzong will send someone to dig up Shi Jie's grave, if there is no body in it or the body is not Shi Jie himself, what Xia Zhu said is true. Breaking people's graves is very vicious, whether ancient or modern, it is a matter of common anger of people and gods! But other than that, what other way is there to prove the innocence of Shisuke and Tomumi?

The grave digging operation is in progress, and the "mastermind" Fu Bi has an accident. Since Ishisuke fled for him, he had to control the mastermind first. So Fu Bi was moved from Yunzhou to Qingzhou, waiting for the results of the investigation. This can be regarded as an early shuanggui. At the same time, in Shi Jie's hometown in Shandong, Shi Jie's wife was also caught in advance and taken to other places for supervision. The Great Song Dynasty also sent people to infiltrate the Liao State to find out if the other party had any military operations in the near future? The answer is no.

The Liao State did not react, is it that the rebellion does not exist? Lord Xia shook his head, and his contemptuous gaze swept towards everyone: I am now a privy envoy, a military representative, and a national security chief! I want to tell you: The Liao State did not assemble an army, it was because Shi Jie's stupidity did not say anything about moving those wild people. Now he has quietly sneaked back to China, gathering tens of thousands of vicious gangsters in Dengzhou and Laizhou, preparing to rebel collectively! As for why he chose Deng, Laizhou, it's very simple, Qingzhou, where Fubi is now, is near there... Things have developed to this point, and the insidious has revealed a ridiculous flavor. People are dead, even if they want to take revenge, can there be some limits? Even if there is no limit, can you have a little taste? Even if you have bad quality and despicable means, you have to have a bit of technical content, right? How can it change in a moment like this? But Lord Xia doesn't care, everything is important to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. What's the big deal about digging a grave? What's more, even if Shi Jie's body is really dug up, he is ready for the next step of defense! No matter what, it won't hurt him even a hair!

Things developed exactly according to Xia Zhu's vision. The Great Song Dynasty sent commissioners to Shandong to preside over the feat of digging graves, and it was about to be dug up, and some people couldn't stand it. The local prison officer recruited more than 200 people to sign a joint guarantee: everyone has witnessed with their own eyes that Shi Jie is indeed buried in this grave, if it is false, I would like everyone to be punished!

The commissioner thought for a moment, turned around and went back to Beijing. The prison officer was right, Xia Zhu was shameless. The Great Song Dynasty still has a face! In case the exhumed body is really Shisuke, where will the country put its face? But I didn't know that Xia Zhu didn't care at all, even if I dug it, I heard that Shi Jie died of poverty and disease, and he was thin and out of appearance before he died. It's been buried for almost a year at this time, and if anyone can still recognize it, it's really a hell!

In this case, Lord Xia finally made Shi Jie immortal and became a genius long-distance runner. Every year, it will appear in all corners of the Great Song Dynasty, one will rebel for Fu Bi, and the other will be active for Fan Zhongyan, until all the gentlemen are tossed to death! If you don't die, you can die of disgust!

The privy envoy Xia Zhuxia was triumphant in the capital, ignoring everyone's disgusted eyes. Every day I go to the temple proudly, everything I do is to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty!

On November 28, the Great Song Dynasty, which had been calm for 3 years, finally had another major incident, which was quite serious. It was the most taboo rebellion in the Song Dynasty! The scale of this rebellion is the second largest in the Renzong Dynasty, but in fact, in terms of strength, it should be the first. In particular, the preparations of the mastermind of the mutiny were very well placed. Far better than the brother in the first place. Because he is an active duty soldier himself.

This person's name is Wang Ze, born in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, and he has been lonely since he was a child, and his fate is the general file of an ordinary soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army. He was a good citizen, but after a famine, he couldn't live in the local area. Fleeing from the famine, he was hungry and was about to commit murder, but the court recruited troops. So he became a regular national army. In fact, when the regular army of the Northern Song Dynasty, the treatment was very good, and it can even be said to be very ideal. Not only can he have no worries about food and clothing, but even his family members can join the army, live in the compound of the military region, receive money from the army, receive rice and cloth, and from time to time can carry the leader behind his back or help the leader go out to do business and earn some extra money. Very good? This is the best resettlement plan that the veteran Zhao Kuangyin came up with for his future colleagues, what else is there to fight for?

The king has! This man-made rebellion is by no means an official coercion or a rebellion against the people. He has lofty ideals, a tight organization, a large number of accomplices, and even a powerful brainwashing tool, which is different from other thugs in terms of thinking.

He believed in Buddhism! This should be a very common and normal thing. But there are two points to note: 1. There have been endless rebellions in Chinese dynasties using this thing to rebel, from Zhang Jiao in the Han Dynasty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that this thing is very effective. 2 Buddhism? Even the illiterate know that it is a religion that preaches goodness and pursues peace. Why can it be used to rebel and kill people?

This has to do with the quality of the Chinese people. Whether ancient or modern, how many of those who believe in Buddhism really read Buddhist scriptures? And how many of them believe only after listening to the preaching of local "missionaries" like gods and witches? At this time, the reason why Wang Ze succeeded in becoming the leader of the Buddhist rebel group was that there were two magic weapons: he had cultural knowledge, wrote "Buddhist scriptures" such as "Five Dragon Sutras" and "Tear Sutra", as well as mysterious and unpredictable diagrams. This is very remarkable, he knows how to figure out the psychology of the masses, and then write actual works, putting aside the question of level, he has done the same thing as the founders of various religions. It's clever, but that doesn't justify the public being deceived. So he has a second weapon: Xiangrui! Wang often went out on the street shirtless, so that everyone could see his back: there was a word "Fu" on it. This was supposed to be stabbed by his mother before he fled the famine, so that he could recognize it after many years, no matter how he changed. It's nothing more than an anti-counterfeiting mark. But under the aura of religion, there is a sacred meaning: this is innate, it is the lower realm of the Heavenly Maitreya Buddha, the sign of coming to receive the class of the Buddha, and saving sentient beings...

Wang Ze's followers became more and more, and in just a few years, the land of Hebei reached a saturation point. I have to do it the other way around, otherwise I will leak the filling. The facts are really revealed, he originally wanted to have a rebellion on the first day of the first month of the next year, the new day of Vientiane's renewal, first cut off the pontoon bridge in Lanzhou, cut off the most important passage between Henan and Hebei, and paralyzed the military center of Hebei, so that the entire Hebei Road would be occupied! But a believer named Pan Fangjing doesn't know how to do it? Suddenly don't believe in Buddhism? Temporarily betrayed the king. ran to the Daimyo Mansion, the capital of Hebei Road, and reported to the local supreme governor Jia Changchao. The king was forced to act in advance, and the date was November 28. This day is very particular, it is the Song Dynasty's routine winter solstice day suburban ceremony, the emperor will lead hundreds of officials to the outside of the city to worship the gods of heaven and earth. In other major cities across the country, the top leaders have to carry out the same activities. (To be continued......)
