Chapter 232: The Initiator

Regarding the statement of the counselor Song Qiyu, Zhang Jun, a member of the Yu department, expressed great concern.

History of the Song Dynasty. Li Gang's Biography recorded: Jun said: "The public disaster has been since then. ”

Zhang Jun's concern about Song Qiyu and the current situation is justified.

At that time, under the auspices of Prime Minister Li Gang, the small court of Yingtianfu was liquidating the crime of the former Great Chu officials who were "disobedient and hypocritical".

In other words, all the former officials of the dynasty who were related to Zhang Bangchang or who were in Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture at the time of Jingkang's shame were suspected of "disobedience and hypocrisy".

Song Qiyu was once ordered to send an envoy to Jinying. Moreover, when Song Qiyu came back from Jinying, Wang Shiyong once secretly asked him who Jin Bing wanted to be the emperor.

According to legend, Song Qiyu wrote the words "Zhang Bangchang" on a piece of paper, which led to the "hypocrisy" incident of Wang Shiyong's first proposal to elect Zhang Bangchang as the emperor.

Therefore, Song Qi was more within the scope of the imperial court's suspicion of liquidation.

According to the American Edward. Murphy's Law proposed by Murphy is that everything that can go wrong must go wrong; If you're worried about something happening, then it's more likely to happen.

As a good friend of Song Qiyu, what Zhang Jun was worried about finally happened

Regarding the three things that consulted the doctor Song Qiyu's thesis, our Master Li Gang did not make any written response, either unwilling, disdainful, or unable.

It's just that this silence of Master Li Gang is limited to the pen and mouth; In terms of action, Lord Li Gang's response can be described as thunderous and out of control

History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Li Gang: Shi Fang discusses the crime of disobedience and hypocrisy. So he was healed. Qi Yue did not admit it. The jailer said: "Wang Shangshu is not sitting lightly, but he moved to Lingnan, and the great admonition was inherited, and he did not exceed Linger in the end." "Qi Yu ambushed, and then killed the East City.

Yes, at the instigation of Lord Li Gang, Song Qiyue was imprisoned and put on trial, and then used deceptive means to make Song Qiyue confess. He was then escorted to the eastern city of the capital and beheaded and executed.

Of course, Song Qiyu's crime is not the fault of the three things in his thesis, but the so-called "rebellion and hypocrisy"

Song Qiyu's killing, in the small court of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, can be described as "one stone hitting a thousand waves".

Prime Minister Li Gang used ruthless means to subvert the ban established by Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, who was not allowed to kill scholars and speakers.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he made an oath: forbidding the killing of scholars and doctors, and those who speak are violated, I will not bless them ("History of the Song Dynasty. Taizu Benji)

However, the words of the oath remained. Counseling the doctor Song Qiyu has already stained the East City with blood.

The unlucky Song Qiyu, although he does not have a decent reputation in history. But with his blood, he silently influenced some people

The first to be affected was naturally our Lord Li Gang.

Whether it is in the current Yingtianfu court of Emperor Gaozong or the Kaifeng court of Emperor Qinzong in the past, Li Gang's popularity is extremely poor; It's just that Li Gang is honest and fair, and those lords and factions are a little helpless against Li Gang.

This time, Song Qiyu was killed, not only to commit public anger, but to directly destroy the law of the imperial court (Taizu's oath) and the unspoken specification of "not punishing the doctor", so that everyone in the court and the ministers in the court were in danger.

In the Song court, the official position of Zhengqipin or above was already at the level of a doctor. The military general's martial arts doctor and the civil official's peaceful doctor are all positive seven grades.

Before the Song Qiyu incident, as long as they were promoted to the official position of Zhengqipin or above, the lives and personal property of officials could be fully protected.

Even in the Song Dynasty's fiercest battle between the old and new French people, the loser was at most demoted and exiled to other places as officials, such as the well-known great writer Su Shi is one of the examples.

Even the most extreme Taishi Cai Jing only erected a party monument in Bianliang City, preventing the descendants of these party members from returning to the imperial court again, and that's it.

And Song Qiyu's killing deprived all the officials in the court of this guarantee above the seventh grade, how can you let those officials not be in a hurry?

As a result, under the tandem of Song Qiyu's good friend Zhang Jun, Li Gang was immediately impeached by most of his colleagues, and then deposed by Emperor Gaozong and transferred to Hubei as an official.

History of the Song Dynasty. Li Gang's Biography recorded: "Zhang Jun is the imperial history, impeaching Gang for killing his attendants with private intentions, and on his crime of buying horses and recruiting troops." The edict is a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, and the Dongxiao Palace is raised".

And in the "History of the Song Dynasty. It is recorded in the "Gaozong Benji": "Yihai, with Zhang Junyan, let Li Gang shoot the left servant." ”

The second to be affected are Li Gang's staunch supporters.

Among these supporters are officials, such as Yu Ruli, a member of the ancestral hall; There are students, such as Chen Dong, a student from Tai; There are also ordinary people, such as Ouyang Che.

For a time, the strength of the main battle faction in the imperial court was extremely badly hit.

History of the Song Dynasty. The Biography of Li Gang is recorded: . Since the outline, Zhang went to the crime, Fu Liang resigned with his mother's illness, and the two divisions of Fufu and the economic system were abolished.

History of the Song Dynasty. Gaozong Benji has such a record: Ren Wu, with Huang Qian's good discussion, killed Chen Dong, Chongren Buyi Ouyang Che, a student of Shangshutai

Of course, it was our emperor who was most affected by the incident, Gaozong Zhao Gou.

No matter what the evaluation of later generations is, at this moment, Gaozong Zhao Gou is still just a young man who has just turned twenty years old, in the words of ancient times, that is, "there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm".

This may also be the reason why Emperor Gaozong did not receive the respect he deserved in the early days.

Objectively speaking, Zhao Gou really has no experience in governance.

In his early years in the palace, although Zhao Gou practiced good martial arts, because he was not a prince, the education he received since childhood was mainly peaceful and passive, how to be an excellent prince and assist the emperor.

Now that he suddenly ascended the throne as the emperor, the change of roles was too sudden, and there was no trustworthy teacher around him, so Zhao Gou could only learn the skills and methods of national management from the ministers around him, and gradually formed his own management style through complex and fragmentary games between monarchs and ministers.

In the final analysis, the so-called management of political power is only a kind of interpersonal relationship. Although Zhao Gou, as the emperor, is on the strong side in the handling of interpersonal relationships, interpersonal relationships are multilateral after all, and even if one of them says it, it must be recognized by the other parties.

And this time, Li Gang booby-trapped Song Qiyu with his vicious, even almost vicious, methods, and gave the young Emperor Gaozong a very bad example: it turned out that some dissidents could be eliminated by such means.

It must be admitted that Gaozong Zhao Gou is an extremely intelligent person, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns.

After meeting with Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, two people who strongly opposed the removal of Li Gang, Emperor Gaozong's approach was to draw a scoop on the gourd and kill both of them.

As the king of a country, Gaozong is of course more desperate than Li Gang.

The wonderful thing about Gaozong is that he killed Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, and he didn't even announce the excuse and the crime.

Of course, some historians of the Song Dynasty and later generations will blame Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and other traitors and thieves

Under the feudal dictatorship in ancient times, "not punishing doctors" has a certain positive significance.

The reason is very simple, when the lives and property of those officials are not properly protected, who else stands up to tell the truth, and who dares to put forward all kinds of exhortations to the emperor

In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, there were many officials who often gave opposing opinions to the emperor, such as Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng, and so on; Even Li Gang himself is known for his outspokenness.

However, throughout Gaozong's era, after the Song Qiyu incident, there were almost no figures who raised objections to the emperor, except for Yue Fei. And Yue Fei's fate is known to all Chinese.

Can it be assumed that if there was no death of Song Qiyu, there would have been no Chen Dong and Ouyang Che killed, and there would not have even been the later Yue Fei Fengbo Pavilion incident?

In this way, isn't Li Gang the initiator?

In any case, the ban established by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin against killing scholars and speakers has indeed been broken by Li Gang, setting a bad example for future generations...... (To be continued......)
