Wang Su really wanted to say elephants. It's a pity that there is a record of that night in Kaifeng Mansion. At that time, there was a rule in Kaifeng City, and whoever wanted to do Jiao (burning paper money, etc.) at night had to notify the government first, so as not to cause fire panic. So when the fireworks rose in Di Qing's house, people outside rushed to tell each other, came to put out the fire, and went to notify Kaifeng Mansion!

That's the thing, but the escalation of gossip is invincible! The next day, the fireworks turned into strange lights, and then the strange lights couldn't attract attention, so they had to make something more exciting.

The second thing is related to the rain disaster in Kaifeng City. It is also to blame Zhao Guangyi, who did not let his brother move the capital back then, but as a result, this gentle Kaifeng City has no danger to defend during the war, and the water is a huge artificial lake. Everyone was soaking in the water, and the people had no choice but to endure it, and the officials moved to higher places. Di Qing chose a very civilian, even bazaar-like place - Xiangguo Temple.

Xiangguo Temple, commonly known as the Great Xiangguo Temple, occupies an unparalleled and important position in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is known to everyone and is aspired to by all races in East Asia. Not because of its lofty status as Buddhism, but because of its incomparably huge economic effects. The waterway wharves that converge on the capital city of Kaifeng from all directions of the empire have a common terminus, that is, the Great Xiangguo Temple. It's bustling, it's noisy, it's rich, it's very common. So the low-key Di Qing chose to avoid flooding here.

But Di Qing was the focus of civilians everywhere he went, not to mention that he also went to Daxiangguo Temple, which had a huge number of civilians. His every move began to be watched by thousands of pairs of eyes, and other legends quickly spread...

It was pouring rain outside, Di Qing was walking, sitting and lying in the main hall of Xiangguo Temple, how fascinating this scene was - the sacred and solemn hall, the first person in the military who was majestic and heroic was striding high, and he was coming and going, so that the people of Li outside were intoxicated. Especially at that time, the protagonist was still wearing a yellow robe...

Is this still Di Qing? This is clearly Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty!

It's a heinous and appalling crime! The Great Song Dynasty civil official clique quickly reached a unanimous opinion. Nearly 100 years since the founding of the country, there has finally been a traitor who committed a crime against the wind, once he gains power, Chen Qiao's mutiny, and the yellow robe will be repeated! At that time, there were swords and soldiers. The country will not be a country, and even our happy life will have to be completely ruined!

Comrades, what are we waiting for? Join forces and wipe out Di Qing in Xiangguo Temple!

There are many people who respond to the call. In a short section, the two most prestigious and hardest people were selected as representatives. They are each of the top literati (two officials) of the Song Dynasty: Liu Chang, a scholar of the Zhi system, and Ouyang Xiu, a scholar of Hanlin.

Liu Chang was super enthusiastic about this matter from beginning to end, and after acting as an alarm person to meet Yin Wangsu of Kaifeng Mansion on the night of Di Qing's "strange" light, he concentrated on writing a seal to the emperor. The content lists all the strange things around Di Qing in recent years, and finally summarizes a theme "... There are many foreign sayings today, although it is not credible. To be a man who has no worries, would rather be burdened with youth, and without a burden with the country" He was all out of a patriotic and loyal heart, so he wanted Di Qing to go to hell! Although he himself said: all the strange things I have listed have no real basis.

More nonsensical? In contrast, Ouyang Dacaizi's article is a bit interesting, he once wrote a propositional paper, the name is "On Di Qing". The article carefully reviewed the official records of Di Qing's success, saying that he came out of his own army and was known as a brave warrior. Invincible in the northwest battlefield, he quelled the rebellion in Liangguang and Guangzhou, and saved the situation in the country. Very objective, and then made a special statement. Di Qing has been a privy envoy for 4 years without any fault. Has this become a model article to praise Di Qing's good example? Wait! The layout of the national hand, step by step! Ouyang Dacaizi turned his pen, but "Sergeant Gai is a villain...", he really can't change his old problem, and everything is said from the dividing line between a gentleman and a villain. In Ouyang Xiu's heart. All soldiers are treacherous, immoral, low-level, dangerous inferior elements! The words after that can be imagined, he discussed how much Di Qing won the hearts of the army, and even more won the hearts of the people. In the long run... And there is also the general basis of Chinese metaphysics in ancient times to confirm that "the water is yin." The soldiers are also yin, and the military ministers are also yin" and so on, now there is a flood and heavy rain, all of which are disasters brought by the generals, and God warns us! Therefore, please demote Di Qing from the court as soon as possible. This is a good deed for the world, and it is also a love for Di Qing himself. lest something big happen in the future and you have to kill him!

Eventually, Di Qing's recall proposal finally surfaced. The way the proposal was submitted was superb, it was a collective proposal from Zhongshu Province, not any one person, and it had nothing to do with the ministers of Xifu. That is to say: There is no specific person who can't get along with Di Qing, it's "everyone" who wants to say that!

In the face of the recall, Di Qing was in a complicated mood, and at this time, he had to say, why did he have to stay in the position of privy envoy in the face of so many obvious accusations and criticisms in 4 years? Also: 4 years ago, for him to be a privy envoy, Prime Minister Pang Ji and Governor Liang Shi were in a mess, and he also turned a blind eye and was determined to be this privy envoy? After a thousand years, some people always say: Di Qing, you are fame and fortune, what can you do if you throw this official? Isn't it easy to live for a hundred years? I'm sorry! If Di Qingzhen does this, is he still a good man who is enthusiastic, dares to be the first, and never gives up? He's a hero! He has an innate sense of pride! When he was a juvenile delinquent and joined the army, he didn't put the "good boy" outside Donghua Gate into his eyes! Although the starting point is different, they all rely on their own efforts to complete the arduous trek of life from low to high! After going through this journey, why can't you get ahead openly?

In such a mood, he finished reading the recall proposal and walked in front of the emperor. said such a sentence "The minister has no merit and is subject to the two towns, and it is unfair to go out of the foreign domain without guilt" The former sentence is self-modesty, and the latter sentence is indignation, the merit of a hundred battles, and the acquittal is dismissed, I am not convinced!

The Emperor agreed, and it was indeed unfair. He appeased Di Qing and asked him to avoid it first, and then found Wen Yanbo "Di Qing is a loyal minister" The emperor emphasized this.

In the feudal era, it was better to be loyal than to be able. That's the general principle. As long as you meet this point, even if you have a stupid brain and your hands and feet are not clean, you will still be pleased with your superiors. At this time, Renzong put forward this point, which can be said to be to characterize Di Qing at the root. This is a good comrade, I want to keep him!

But Wen Yanbo has that ability, and one sentence can turn the advantages into bombs, "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong"

Note: This is the characteristic of the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, and the style of the famous courtiers and doctors! They dare to talk about the founding emperor of their own dynasty! Isn't Zhao Kuangyin Chai Rong's loyal minister? How did you ask the emperor to answer? Say yes? Good! Why did you rebel? Where did the Song Dynasty come from? Say no? That's miserable! You are saying that your ancestor was a disloyal and unfilial rebel and thief...

That day, Renzong didn't say a word. There was a deadly silence between the emperor and the prime minister, which made Di Qing's fate determined, and at the same time, it also caused a break point in Wen Yanbo's political career. Speaking of which, this is actually a mistake by Master Wen.

As a result, Di Qing received an informal order. He was given a special honor, just like Hitler gave his Field Marshal Rommel in World War II (you can keep your rank, the safety of your family. Have a memorial service. You just have to commit suicide) Di Qing, the last gift given to you by the Song Dynasty is that you can apply for resignation by yourself, and you have a reason to be laid off...

After receiving this order, Di Qing still hadn't carried it out, and he couldn't figure it out anyway, so he was going to ask! Di Qing went directly to the Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall and asked himself what he was charged with!

He was received by Prime Minister Wen Yanbo. Di Qing asked as if he was looking for a cigarette, and he got the most authentic answer. Maybe in Wen Yanbo's mind, Di Qing must have known that he was making trouble, right? Lord Wen glared at Di Qing and said, "Without him, the court suspects you" There is nothing else. Just doubt you!

Di Qing's confidence collapsed at that moment, and the belief that had been supporting him collapsed! Di Qing was stunned by this sentence, took a few steps back, and said nothing more, and walked out of Zhongshu Province, out of the palace, and out of Tokyo Bianliang City. On August 14, he was "promoted" to the rank of Tongzhongshu and sentenced to Chenzhou as prime minister.

Before leaving. He said to one of his cronies, "If I go, I will die." The cronies were puzzled, Di Qing smiled, Chenzhou produces a kind of pear, called "Qingsha Rotten" Qingzhi went. They will rot to death.

He was right. He went to Chenzhou for only half a year, and died of "dorsal gangrene" on March 24 of the following year, which was more common in ancient times, and the more famous ones were Fan Zeng and Xu Da, all of whom were mixed with grief and anger. Dying helplessly is basically equivalent to dying of anger. Di Qing is the same, he was in Chenzhou for half a year. Every half a month, the imperial court sends people to "ask and care", this kind of treatment has been repeated several times in the history of the Song Dynasty in 319 years, and only Di Qing has this one! I really don't know what he did, the court "loved" him like this?

He died, Wen Yanbo and the entire civilian-bureaucratic group at that time were not exaggerating, in fact, no official said that Di Qing should not be dismissed. And they succeeded! Taking over the position of privy envoy was a fellow Taoist whom they very much agreed with: Han Qi. The great Han Xianggong finally returned to the embrace of the organization and became the ruling minister of the Song Dynasty again!

Order was finally restored, and the officialdom of the Song Dynasty became peaceful and harmonious. Di Qing's resignation and Di Qing's death, whether they were wronged or not, are very in line with the spirit of the founding of the Song Dynasty. Guarding the inside and the outside, rather with friends than with domestic slaves. Either way, we won't be bullied by our own people! It was not Wen Yanbo who killed Di Qing, not a specific minister of the Song Dynasty, but the general climate of the Song Dynasty, Di Qing was crushed to death by that era! Even if there is no Wen Yanbo, there will be Wu Yanbo; There is no Ouyang Xiu, there is also Ouyang Li. There will always be literati who jump out to trouble him. Di Qing, like a fallen leaf floating in the storm, was blown up to the clouds by the wind, and then blown down to the dust by the wind, everything is involuntary, and will soon be forgotten...

It wasn't until the reign of Shenzong, when the empire was open and unscrupulous, that he remembered this victorious general who died young. And when he had just been deposed, or had just died, no one in the whole country missed him, only a dry official record - the gift of the Chinese book order, the martial arts...

At the same time as Di Qing was dismissed as a privy envoy, the recital of asking Renzong to establish the crown prince as soon as possible has not stopped. On August 5th, Fan Zhen was already the 6th time to build a reserve, and the toss was endless, and the emperor and the prime ministers reached a tacit understanding to transfer Fan Zhen to a job. On the 11th, he was appointed as a member of the household department. But it's useless, Fan Zhen is hard-hearted! He refused to go to work, went home and lay down to compete, and it was 3 months at a time. When people saw him again, they didn't recognize him. Fan Zhen's beard and hair are all white, just like Wu Zixu when he passed the Zhao Pass... On November 11, the first year of Jiayou (1056), Fan Zhen was reappointed as a living house and a builder of Jixian Palace.

On the 26th, the Great Khitan ministers gave the title of Emperor of Liaodaozong. On the 27th, Liao Daozong named the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and his son Nelugu entered the king of Chu, and all officials were promoted.

In early December, Yin Zeng Gongliang of Kaifeng Prefecture was promoted to participate in political affairs. Bao Zhengquan knew Kaifeng Mansion and started a one-and-a-half-year 'Bao Longtu meditated in Kaifeng Mansion', and there were no particularly big cases in the past year and a half, not a single one! Some are just the work style of Bao adults. He allowed the people to see the governor of the imperial capital and the head of the Supreme Procuratorate of Kaifeng City at any time.

Bao Zheng ordered the yamen to be opened! Whoever has any grievances can come in and complain! There will never be more layers of checkpoints, so that the good people who are illiterate, do not know the law, and do not know the way have nowhere to complain...

In good conscience, this alone is enough for the common people to remember him forever! As for the stories that challenge the power of the aristocracy? There was also one time during this period. That is, when there was a big flood, the water of the Huimin River in Kaifeng rose sharply, and a large number of houses were flooded. The reason for this is that some dignitaries and dignitaries have built some water pavilion gardens on the river. The largest of them is the property of a eunuch.

Bao Zheng was not ambiguous at all, found the title deed, checked the original map, and demolished it immediately as long as there was a violation of the building! Strictly speaking, this is far from enough to make him an iron-faced and selfless Bao Qingtian who judges cases like a god. But the people, especially the Chinese, really don't ask for much! As long as he has the heart to do things for the people, no matter which step he has taken, the people will praise him, commemorate him, mythologize him, and use him as a light in the darkness to comfort the soul that has been hit to the point of incompleteness in the real society!

On the 17th, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia was killed. The incident originated from the irrepressible lust of the Queen Mother. After Yeli Yuqi and Li Yuanhao died, the Wuzang clan fell in love with the third man: Li Shougui and the fourth man: eating too much. So the two men were jealous of her and fought. First, Li Shougui killed the Queen Mother who had eaten too much and did not hide it, and then Li Shougui was killed by the Queen Mother who did not hide it. After that, he married his daughter to the 9-year-old emperor Li Liangzuo. As the uncle of the country, the abbot of the country, and the minister of the country, he is the top minister in Western Xia! (To be continued......)
