Chapter 25: Provocation
"Pap, pap..."There was a sound of meat on the board from the plum garden, mixed with a muffled grunt of pain.
"Hit, hit hard, go so many people can't catch a person!" There was an angry roar from the house.
"Shout, shout loudly, let the prince hear, it's too light!" The prisoner saw that he whispered to Erwa and the others who were climbing on the bench, and glanced at the little yellow men who were executed.
"Ahh Ah..."It's a very shameful thing to cry out for pain in the army, and it's even more shameful for them elites, so they all gritted their teeth and kept silent.
"Xi Ye, why is the prince angry, do you really think that we didn't catch the commander?" Erwa asked in a low voice.
"Alas, it's not the right time for you to come back, today the prince was ginseng, and the emperor punished him for standing outside the palace for three hours, and he was already on fire, but a few of you just came in at this juncture to come back, isn't that looking for a beating!" Jianxi sighed and said sympathetically.
"Hey, this unlucky one, I put on an impossible task, and I ran into the prince who was deflated, and I became a punching bag, and I have nowhere to reason!" The second baby pursed her lips and said in her heart, raising her screams a few more points, venting the depression in her heart...
This time, Zhao Ta was suddenly involved, which was the hand of the imperial historian, and he was impeached for 'after the abolition of friendship, with the intention of overturning the case for Yuan You', and the reason was that Zhao Ta went to Meng's mansion to meet the Empress Dowager Meng. and ask for maintenance. Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Cheng Yi, Lv Gongzhu, Lv Gongliang, Lv Dafang, Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers. Fan Zhongyanzi, Fan Chunren, Fan Chunli, Fan Chunchun, Zeng Gongdi, Zeng Zhao, Han Wei, Fan Zuyu, Huang Tingjian, Han Qizi, Han Zhongyan, Hu Zongyu, Ma Mo, Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, Zheng Xia, etc., who were all famous in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, were also slandered as Yuan You's traitors.
It is said that Zhao Ta can be close to them and hook up, a little involved, it should be a flattered and honored good thing, but having a relationship with them at this time is a catastrophe, once he is classified into the Yuan You party, it is enough to destroy himself. ruining the future of future generations, although this is not as bloody as the 'purging party' of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it is also extremely cruel.
The origin of this matter is the Xufeng change method during the Shenzong period, which is what we often call the 'Wang Anshi change method'. The new law implemented by Wang Anshi was blocked by a group of people led by Sima Guang. At first, it was Wang Anshi who had the upper hand with the support of Shenzong. presided over the work, Sima Guang resigned and went home. However, as soon as Shenzong died, Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and during the period when Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, she changed her mother to her son, suppressed Wang Anshi, used Sima Guang, and abolished the new law, which was called Yuan You's change.
The two were friends and the law of change made them political enemies. Nevertheless. What they are fighting for is not personal power, but only the similarities and differences in the sources of statecraft, and they still have full respect for each other's personality and talents. In insisting on their own political views, they are overly confident and stubborn, unable to listen to different opinions, and thinking that they are worrying about the country and the people by doing so.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are both gentlemen, but as politicians, they deal with problems too absolutely, looking at things either white or black, and employing people either new or old. Forcing the courtiers to take sides again and again. In the later stage of the reform, Wang Anshi could no longer listen to different opinions and could not tolerate opponents; However, Sima Guang lacked an analysis of the new law, did not distinguish between right and wrong, completely denied it, and reverted everything to the old. There was a lot of overkill, and it eventually turned into an emotional reckoning movement.
There were many people during this period. The similarities and differences between the old and new parties, the grievances and grievances of the Luoshushuo party within the old party, and the estrangement between the Empress Dowager Gao and the ancestors and grandchildren of Song Zhe all formed a rebellious joint force when Shaosheng Shaoshu was recalled, and erupted with greater potential energy. If it is said that the Xifeng Reform Law is still aimed at solving the social problems of the country, but the change of Yuan Yu has made the social problems of these countries cured, not to mention political reform, and the old party has not made any positive achievements in economic policy, and the result is only positive or negative to the national economy and people's livelihood at that time, which has affected the subsequent political situation and historical trend, leaving serious sequelae......
Zhezong died, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate his position and fight against the opposition force, he came to a big tune, re-established the new party, and cracked down on the old party, and Cai Jing, who presided over this time, was even more ruthless, not only classified the genuine conservatives into the Yuanyou party, but even his political enemies were labeled as Yuanyou, and the matter was expanded. From the early days of Zhao Ji's rule, he began to belittle the Yuanyou party, but there were still ups and downs during this period.
The party ban reached its peak in the middle of the Chongning year, and with the death of Huang Tingjian and Cheng Yi, the once relaxed imprisonment of the amnesty intensified again, and began to prohibit the hiring of party members, the children of the Yuanyou party members from being officials, and even forbade them to live close to the capital, let alone stay in Beijing; In the later period of Zhenghe, the confinement of the Yuanyou party reached its peak, and even the scholarship of the Yuanyou party was banned, and the imperial court ordered that those who collected Su and Huang's articles should be punished with great disrespect, and Zhao Ta was included in the imperial history at this juncture...
Yushitai is a prominent institution in the imperial court, and it holds the discipline gang with the two governments, in the Beijing Baisi, from the prime minister below, Xili Yushitai pickets, known as "frost platform", "Xiantai", because in the Han Dynasty, there were many cypress trees outside the imperial history platform and there were many crows, so it was also called "Wutai", jokingly referring to the imperial history of the people are crow's mouths.
"Second master, are you still fighting, the board has been discounted for a few pieces, and if you continue to fight, I'm afraid it will be wasted!" Just as Zhao Ta was thinking about how to deal with these crows' mouths in the house, Jianxi hurriedly came in to wipe his sweat and asked.
"How many boards have you played?" Zhao Ta asked with a straight face.
"Second master, to say the least, there are eighty!" Miki said with a grin.
"No, they still have the strength to howl after eighty boards, are you showing favoritism!" Zhao Tan shouted with standing eyes.
"Second master..."Seeing that Xi was stupid, patronizing them and letting them shout, it's over!
"Alright, stop, my head is big when I howl!" Zhao Ta also figured out what was going on with his toes, and now that he knew that Zhao Xin was safe, he was also relieved, but he felt extremely sad that Zhao Xin was so 'ruthless'.
"Second Master Xie!" Seeing that I was really sweating at this time, I heard the prince say this, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground.
"You tell them that the hunt order is still in effect, and they must be captured!" Zhao said.
"Yes, Second Master!" Seeing Xi ordered the little yellow door guarding outside the door to pass on the order, and at the same time refilled the tea for the prince, "Second master, seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, should we go to Mengfu?" He asked cautiously.
"Do you think you want to send it?" Zhao Ta drank a saliva and asked to see Xi.
"Second master, those royal histories are like dogs, they don't bite and don't, let's avoid the limelight and don't send it... It's going to be a little while... I want a lot of people to send it secretly..."Jianxi looked at the prince's face and replied carefully, but even after changing a few answers, the prince didn't seem to be satisfied, Jianxi was a little hairy, and his voice became smaller and smaller, so he simply didn't say anything.
"Damn, he's a dog, Lao Tzu is a dragon, I don't grow wheat when I hear the crickets calling, I'll send it myself tomorrow to see how they are!" Zhao Ta said with a sneer.
"Second master, just stop and stop, today the Holy Lord punished you to stand at the gate of the temple for a long time, if you go again, those people will have to participate in you, and the Holy Lord will not spare you anymore!" Follow the prince without worrying about not being able to find the excitement, this is a crime against the wind, and he is doing it against his father, isn't that nothing to do, and he is really afraid to see Xi!
At this time, the authority of the imperial history platform became increasingly heavy, and Renzong even explicitly ordered that Zai Fu should not recommend the officials of the imperial history platform, and the imperial history was short of personnel, and it must be promoted by the Son of Heaven himself. On the whole, the imperial history platform in the Song Dynasty was a powerful tool to maintain the emperor's rule, and its political influence was very great, so there was a saying that "the founding of the Song Dynasty and the vitality of the Taiwan admonition"! …,
"Is that Lu Dexian who joined me today Wang Hao's person?" Zhao Ta didn't pay attention to the joy, but asked.
"Yes, Wang Hao once served as the middle of the imperial history, and he recommended him in front of the emperor, so that the surname Lu jumped from a small county order to a servant of the imperial history, and treated Wang Huang like an ancestor!" Jianxi thought about it and said.
"Well, the imperial history is known as the eyes and ears of the emperor, but it is inevitable that the imperial history platform will be used by the minister of power as a tool to exclude dissidents, Wang Huang, this kid has to put me to death!" Zhao Ta touched his chin and said, now the fur there has turned into hard stubble.
"This kid has a lot of power, how can you bring him down?" In the Song Dynasty, the imperial history was divided into Taiwan, the palace and the procuratorate, and the three courtyards were divided into the imperial history, and the palace served the imperial history and supervised the imperial history, and the imperial history doctor was not awarded because of the high official position, and was usually only awarded to the courtiers as an additional official, in recognition of his merits or diligence, so the imperial history Zhongcheng became the highest official of the imperial history platform, and was in charge of the judgment of the Taizheng, and served the imperial history to assist the imperial history in handling Taiwan affairs, and was in charge of the second Taiwan politics as a deputy governor, leading the palace to hold the etiquette and correct the mistakes of hundreds of officials, so this Lu De was the second-in-command of the imperial history platform, which is equivalent to the current deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Second master, do you think about it again, the Empress Dowager Meng had nothing to do with the Yuanyou party, but she was innocent and guilty, and Cheng Qian was impeached by Cai Jing's instructions in the imperial history, and then forced the emperor to abolish Empress Meng again, which is exactly the same as what happened today, the second master should first think of self-preservation, and don't provoke them again!" Seeing that Xi listened to the prince's self-talk, he knew that he was unwilling, and he was going to poke the hornet's nest and persuade him bitterly.
"Hmph, they've been calculating me for a long time, and I've endured it for a long time, they just want to take advantage of this matter to see my reaction, if I retreat again, I'm afraid it's really a big disaster, and now that they want to use Yuan You's matter to say something, let's just have fun with them!" Zhao Ta said with a sneer. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
