Facts have proved that Lu Milling's Huairou kung fu is very good. Because the history books record that "Jiaozhi is terrified, because of the tribute, the resignation is beneficial and respectful"

What I want to talk about next is that Mr. Zhao Shu, who has become freewheeling and no one in the government and the opposition can stop him, has begun to do some very wonderful things:

He is like playing, taking the country's top official titles as toys. Hanlin bachelor Wang Chou, the official has achieved this position, needless to say, Wang Chou is rare and eloquent is also very good. One night, he and Zhao Shu chatted casually, but they didn't expect the conversation to be very speculative.

Zhao Shu was very happy, and a few days later, on December 15, he suddenly appointed Wang Chou as the privy deputy envoy. Generally speaking, the Hanlin Bachelor is a two-system official, and it is very logical to enter the two provinces from the two systems, no problem... But when it comes to Wang Chou, the problem is very big.

The Song Dynasty had rules that whoever served as the governor of the two prefectures must have the experience of being a provincial governor or above in other places. First, this will allow the candidate to have experience in handling affairs independently. The second is to prevent those old fritters of officialdom who always rely on enjoying happiness in the capital and have been qualified to a certain extent from infiltrating the highest authority.

And this Wang Hanlin is an authentic officialdom old fritter, who has not left Kaifeng City for 35 years since he became a monk, living in heaven on earth, how do you know the difficulties of politics and the suffering of the people?

Seeing that something went wrong, fortunately, Qian Gongfu, who was on duty on duty that day to write the edict, was a person who understood, and the official was an official of the two systems, and he had the power to "return the prefix" of the word, which was appointed by the emperor before it took effect, and the appointment would only take effect after the official of the two systems wrote a formal edict according to the prefix. And once the official of the two systems feels that this appointment is inappropriate, he has the right to seal the prefix, refuse to write the edict, and terminate the appointment process! This was a very enlightened and wise policy of the Song Dynasty government. In order to restrain the imperial power and prevent abuse. Specifically, it is to prevent Zhao Shu's two-pole behavior. However, the reason why the two poles are two poles is that there is a head with few strings.

Zhao Shu was actually crazy! He also didn't want to think about the countless words that had been returned in the more than 100 years before him, which was basically the serious work of the two officials. Responsible to him, the emperor. But what he thinks is: This is the first time he has appointed officials from the two governments since he came into power, and he was rejected, which is really faceless!

On the 16th, he ordered Qian Gongfu to be demoted, and he should not do it, and go to Chuzhou to be the deputy envoy of the regiment. Unexpectedly, this word went down, and it was returned by another intellectual ancestor. This punishment is too severe, and it is not in accordance with the rules at all!

Zhao Shu was about to go crazy, he felt that he was seriously despised by the ministers. In order to redeem his influence and enhance his prestige, he decided to demote Zu Wuxuan. Roll away!

It's a pity that this order was not fulfilled, and his dear Prime Minister Han Qi rushed over and quietly told him: It's just out of tune to do this, the emperor is not like this!

Zhao Shu calmed down a little, after all, Han Qi was the person he trusted the most. But it must be punished! On the 17th, Qian Gongfu was scheduled to be demoted to other places. Ancestors have no choice... Zhi Zhi continued to be fined 30 pounds of copper. This is the end of the matter, through this matter. The ministers felt a little bit to Zhao Shu in their hearts. Think he's a person whose emotions are greater than his senses?

That's easy, as long as you slow down after a few days, and the anger is gone, it's easy to do? A few days later, Lu Shizong, a direct scholar of the Dragon Pavilion, thought that the time was ripe. On that day, he went to the palace to report on the work of the trial and punishment court, and found that the emperor was in a very good mood. So he euphemistically put forward everyone's views on Qian Gongfu's relegation to other places: It's really too heavy, do you want to reconsider?

Zhao Shu looked at him that day and didn't say anything, and Qian Gongfu was still demoted. One year later, Lu Shizong was demoted to the German army...

Such a thing, after a year, I still can't forget it. It's amazing...

On January 1, the 2nd year of Zhiping (1065), Yelu Jun, who was only 6 years old and the most talented child in the history of the Great Khitan, was made the crown prince. And Yelujun's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, heroic posture, and chic... All this made Yelu Yixin, the first traitor of Daliao, panic...

Actually, Qian Gongfu and Lu Shizong were very lucky. There was a person who basically didn't do anything, but he was also demoted out of the capital and went to Hangzhou to become a magistrate: Cai Xiang, a famous minister and a talented man in Qingli.

Cai Xiang was the third envoy at that time, and his style was very gentle, except for the poem "Four Sages and One Unfilial Piety" in the early years, he basically did not show the mountain dew. He is the kind of good comrade who does things quietly and behaves as a man. I don't know why, Song Yingzong has hated him extremely since he ascended the throne, and he has to beat him every three or five times...

Cai Xiang once took a day off, saying that what is the big deal about taking a day off? But Zhao Shu was on fire, and he made a statement on the spot: The three divisions are in charge of the world's money and grain, and there are many affairs, Cai Xiang has asked for leave four times in the past ten days, why not use others? The consequence of asking for leave is to lose your official position and resign... Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly walked over, Cai Xiang was their old friend, what did they say that they had to be protected?

Han Qi said: The three divisions have not made mistakes in handling affairs in recent years, and they have been dismissed without a name. Besides, at this time, if you want to find someone with better knowledge than Cai Xiang, there is no one to choose... Zhao Shu's face was still tense, and he didn't even give Han Qi face.

Ouyang Xiu chose to move with affection, saying that Cai Xiang asked for leave to fulfill his filial piety. His mother is in her 80s and has been sick lately, and he can't afford not to take care of him. Besides, Cai Xiang only asked for leave, did not miss his life, and did not delay his official business, should he be dismissed?

Zhao Shu reluctantly stopped pursuing it. But the ministers were surprised to find that attacking Cai Xiang had become the emperor's main job. From that time on, from time to time, the emperor will pay attention to the work of the three divisions, find fault with the law, and in short, he will definitely drive Cai Xiang from power!

The situation was serious, and several old Qingli friends got together privately and asked: Cai Xiang, what did you do to provoke the emperor like this? Cai Xiang tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember: I was really wronged! Why did you provoke the emperor without trouble?

In the end, it was decided that Han Qi would come forward to find out the reason. After that, I saw that Han Qi came back with a rather ugly face, and carefully identified it, it was not a trouble to do things, but a frightening...

It turned out that it involved a secret matter when Zhao Shu was still the crown prince. It is said that after choosing Zhao Shu, Renzong cried alone in the middle of the night, he remembered his three biological sons who died early, how could he not be sad? At this time, the close attendants appeared like Ren Shouzhong, and they complained that Renzong was too hasty to establish the prince, and he could choose again, this Zhao Shu is not ideal...

Among them, there are also "one or two well-known" close ministers, and these people also wrote some recitals, all about the establishment of another prince. Fortunately, these pieces had been placed in Renzong's bed, and they were burned shortly after Zhao Shu ascended the throne. But no one is sure if Zhao Shu has seen it? What is especially uncertain is who the "one or two well-known" ministers are!

Looking at Han Qi's face, everyone knew the seriousness of the problem. In fact, Han Qi has a heart disease, he had other thoughts at the beginning, and he also wrote that kind of concerto! But the most terrifying situation now is that Zhao Shu has not actually seen it with his own eyes. But I know that there is such a thing! That's the worst thing! Whoever is suspicious will be unlucky, I can't explain it!

Can't you just let it go? Several bigwigs thought about it and decided to make it clear to the emperor that this is not just Cai Xiang's business, and everyone is in trouble!

One day, they entered the palace en masse, and Han Qi boldly asked: Does the emperor know that there is such a thing? Does this have anything to do with Cai Xiang?

Zhao Shu immediately became nervous and said: Although I have never seen the text, I have heard of it when I was in Qingning Palace (the dormitory where he was the crown prince). It was written by Cai Xiang!

Han Qi let out a long sigh, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes... It's Cai Xiang! Good! Very good! The first is that there is no evidence, and the second is not yourself. He cautiously persuaded: What is the matter? You have to find out to be sure, you can't just rely on rumors to decide the case, right? In that case, there will be little rumors at any time in the future, and serious people will not be able to live!

The second prime minister, Zeng Gongliang, also added: Kaifeng City is the place with the most gossip, the paparazzi can't prevent it, there is a market for any rumors, and nine times out of ten it is not credible!

It's a pity that the emperor clearly doesn't believe them. Cai Xiang is a prisoner, that is, the sworn enemy who wanted to kill him not to be the crown prince at the beginning, and now he can't be the emperor!

To say that Ouyang Xiu was the most knowledgeable, he asked from a different angle: Your Majesty, do you think this is the case? Zhao Shu is even more absolute. I reversed the angle again before answering "Although I don't see the words, I can guarantee that there will be nothing" is that I haven't seen the real thing, but I can't guarantee that there will be none, right?

If Han Qi squeezed out Fu Bi and used hooligan politics, Zhao Shu is hooligan logic. In the absence of evidence. Again, it can be proved that the evidence is not absolutely non-existent!

Ouyang Xiu was a little dizzy, but the great talent of the revival of the ancient literature movement had the ability to write in his life, that is, he would write only when he had a clear idea of the Tao in advance. So he calmly persuaded: Your Majesty. What is not traceable cannot be trusted, in fact, even if there is real evidence, it cannot be done accurately! During the Renzong period, Xia Zhu asked Yahuan to imitate Shi Jie's handwriting and write a letter to Fu Bi. Falsely accusing the two of plotting a rebellion. A few years ago, someone forged my own recital, suggesting that the palace attendants be reduced, but the eunuchs gritted their teeth when they saw me. These are all examples. So don't say that there is no text, even if there is, it may have something else. Your Majesty, forget it...

This kind of persuasion is reasonable, and it can be said that it is very in place, right? No! Zhao Shu's slut potential was fully stimulated, and his rogue logic rose to an unprecedented level of shamelessness: it must be Cai Xiang! Otherwise, "why are slanderers inferior to others?" according to his logic, all those who suffer and suffer in the world are self-inflicted, and what is wrong with you and not others? So: it must be your own reason!

This is the end of the conversation, even if the language master reaches the point of Ouyang Xiu, there is nothing to say. Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly out of the palace, today is really insightful. Cai Xiang, count your fate, go to work in other places...

On February 11, Cai Xiang went out of Hangzhou, and the person who replaced him was Lu Gongbi, the second son of Lu Yijian. He has been a three-time envoy before. The first conversation with Zhao Shu, when talking about why Lu chose him this time, he almost didn't depress Lu Gongzi to death!

Zhao Shu said: Do you remember that year? When I was a prince, I didn't think the horses were good, so I sent someone to the third division to change them. You said that as a clan, you should avoid suspicion, but you don't agree. I've remembered you ever since!

The emperor's meaning is: I choose the top ministers only to look at the small things that are fleeting, and do not evaluate your contribution to the entire officialdom... The more Lu Gongbi thought about it, the more depressed he became, is this a compliment or a denial? It is rumored that others will think that he is a prime minister, it is completely a small opportunity many years ago, and he is an opportunist!

In fact, he didn't need to be so uncomfortable, in comparison, he was quite reasonable. The talents that Zhao Shu promoted next were fun. For example, Pi Gongbi, the judge of the three divisions, this old man is greedy and treacherous, and he is a famous corrupt official in Kaifeng. Another example is Wang Guangyuan, a direct bachelor of Jixian Academy, which is the first place in the list of all scholars and doctors who are recognized as seeking jobs in the camp and regardless of shame... As for what will promote him? Very simply, Wang Guangyuan was Zhao Shu's staff when he was not the crown prince.

To sum up, it's messy, but it's easy to pick out the main line, Zhao Shu is completely based on his own likes and dislikes as the standard, and chooses the pillars of the empire. This is one of the most important vices of leaders in all eras. He himself is happy, but he is joking about the effective operation of the entire state management!

And the reason why these things happened must be explained from the special psychological changes of Emperor Zhao Shu. Only by returning to this original point can we carry on the past and the future and explain everything that has happened since his accession to the throne clearly. (To be continued......)
