Fan Zhen entered the officialdom with an inferior result of 79th, but the speed of promotion was very amazing. More than ten years later, in the year of Renzong's illness, he was already the official of the Zhiyuan, that is, the top official of the Song Dynasty.

At the beginning of May, Renzong's condition had just recovered and the Liuta River disaster had just passed, Fan Zhen did not consult with anyone, so he directly wrote a chapter to propose the establishment of the crown prince and determine the successor of the country! He broke the precepts, not only offended the emperor, but even the prime ministers in the Zhongshu Provincial Political Hall were angry with him!

The emperor's illness is not completely cured, so you can't wait? Patients are sensitive, and when you talk to sensitive people about the most suspicious things, your head is in water, right? Compare the heart to the heart, Renzong has ruled the world for more than 30 years, the kindness of the ancient and modern first, once sick, the courtiers will immediately jump out to prepare for the future, busy looking for a successor, who is not in a hurry?

The prime ministers were even angrier. In this kind of big event, you actually bypassed us and went directly to the top leader to talk about things, do you still take us seriously? And more importantly: Who told you that we don't want to do this? The most likable thing in the workplace is to help the leader complete the task in advance, and the most annoying thing is to mess up the leader's good deal. Fan Zhen, do you understand?

In fact, Wen Yanbo and they are already doing this. It's a pity that Emperor Renzong's illness was too sudden, and all steps were disrupted. Now the illness has just improved a little, and suddenly Fan Zhen has been killed... No matter what the result is, the first nominee for the next emperor will become Fan Zhen!

As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he actually let his subordinates ambush him, and this face is too embarrassing. Wen Yanbo couldn't hold back no matter how much he couldn't bear it, so Cai Ting called Fan Zhen: What are you doing? Why don't you ask for such a thing first?

Fan Zhen replied: I am reckless of doing such a thing. If you come first and you say you don't agree, won't you do it?

Wen Yanbo's stomach was full of words, and he was blocked back. This is the fatal wound of the unspoken rules of officialdom! It is potential, although the unspoken rules of this world are more effective to a large extent, but after all, they live in the sun. The master of the world is always the one who can take the stage! You have to abide by the law, you have to be fair, and you have to have justice! Can this be done. It's up to you to dare to say it, and let the whole thing be revealed to the world!

Fan Zhen is like that! I'm not afraid to offend you, what can you do with me? Demoted? Give me little shoes to wear? Hehe! Back then, I didn't even care about the champion! In fact, Wen Yanbo really can't do anything. But as the prime minister, he can make all of Fan Zhen's efforts shrink!

From this moment on, Fan Zhen wrote a total of 19 books before and after, and persisted for more than half a year. It's a pity that the documents are passed back and forth between the emperor and the governor. After handing it in and sending it down in a while, Fan Zhen will never find an exact discussant. But that didn't make him give up. To tell the truth: if a person's persistence can reach the step of Fan Zhen, no matter what he is for, it is enough to sensational the world!

The most powerful thing in this world is the sun, and all the unspoken rules are things that are powerful in the shadows! Fan Zhen let this matter shine light. Public opinion began to form, and at least 4 heavyweights stood by him. It's just that each one is too special, each has its own tricks, and the results each person gets are different!

The second one who is about to appear is definitely a big shot. In his life, this person not only made all the emperors like him, but even the queens and queen mothers were very fond of him. Especially among the people, the grandeur of the reputation is better than that of Fan Zhongyan. As for officialdom. It's even more praised. The only exception is the Jaeji Group. He and the deputy prime minister who were not afraid of the ancestors of heaven and earth were lifelong rivals, and even with them, they were incompatible with those people! But this was the time of his ascension, and he was able to not only make the prime ministers of the Renzong Dynasty like him, promote him, and even listen to his orders! It's just that in my eyes, he's really an old stubborn, old bastard!

Introducing the old stubborn and old bastard: Sima Guangzi Junshi. A native of Shushui Township, Xia County, Shaanzhou, he was born in 1019. Because when he was born, his father Sima Chi was doing a county order in Guang County, Gwangju, so he was named "Guang", and he became famous very early, and after becoming famous, he focused on publicizing that he could tell his family "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" when he was 7 years old. It paved the way for him to become a great historian. But everyone knows that what he really became famous for when he was a child was another thing: Sima Guang smashed the cylinder...

As the saying goes, three years old sees old, and this person's quality can be seen from this incident: the courage to make decisions and implement them regardless of everything! He's been doing it all his life. It doesn't matter if the object is a tank or a country! But the amazing thing is that such a person can hide all this very well. The side that people can see is a sage who is elegant, knowledgeable, and polite. And he should have been an officialdom butcher who was even more fierce than Tang Jie! What could happen for Lang? There are only two possibilities: 1. Everyone in the Northern Song Dynasty was blind at that time. 2 Sima Guang's officialdom is really at home, and he is fierce and loves the whole nation. What could be the reason? Let's think about it...

Speaking of which, it seems that I am a bit of a sage and sage, and it is seriously inconsistent with the image of Master Sima that is prevalent in the hearts of Chinese? What the hell, let the facts speak! The world is complicated and chaotic, and through the layers of fog, we will find that the entire incident of establishing the prince is a perfect high-ranking show for Sima Guang to enter the officialdom of Beijing from a foreign official...

When Fan Zhen wrote the first recital asking for the crown prince, Sima Guang was still in the northwest to make a general judgment. The reason why he left Fengjing so far, let's review his career history: Sima Guang was only 20 years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and the country attached great importance to him and stayed in the capital as a Fenglilang. This was an honor, but he did not accept it, and took the initiative to ask to go to the remote south, for a very moving reason: his father Sima Chi was an official in Hangzhou at the time. His beginning, like Bao Zheng, turned loyalty into filial piety, moved the world, and worked as a judge in Suzhou until his father's death. After the end of filial piety, he returned to the capital to take up his post. But soon he went out again, and Sima Guang showed another side of him: absolutely, completely, and unreservedly loyal to the leadership. But please note: this leader is not the emperor named Zhao Zhen, but the only minister of the Great Song Dynasty at that time!

Historical records: Sima Guang loved and respected Pang Ji as much as he did his father Sima Chi. This is not nonsense, there are countless facts to prove it! The two most important points are: 1 After Pang Ji was brought down by Liang Shi in the Di Qing promotion incident, he came to the northwest to become an official. Sima Guang gave up the work officially arranged for him by the state and followed the old leaders to decentralize and reform. That's how he came to Bingzhou as a general judge; 2 Pang Ji continued to be unlucky in the northwest, he continued to build fortresses in the depths of Western Xia like his old friend Fan Zhongyan, this is a sin, it is all peacetime, why do you want to do anything again? And the manifestation of peace. It was the little emperor of Western Xia who sent troops to the border of the Great Song Dynasty under the wise leadership of his mother and uncle. There is no big victory, but a small advantage must be taken advantage of often! So may I ask: Should Pang Ji defend the Western Xia so single-handedly and build a few fortresses? But the result was that Pang was degraded again and again until he died of illness. During this period, Sima Guang stood firmly beside the leader, and he had written 3 times to declare that he was one of Pang's faults, please divide the punishment in half!

The most touching thing is that after Pang Ji's death, he put on the most formal clothes, invited Mrs. Pang to the lobby, accepted his kneeling like a mother, and treated Pang's son like his own brother ("History of the Song Dynasty. Sima Guang Biography": Nationality is not. Guangshengtang worships his wife as a mother, and cares for his son as Kundi) This was praised by everyone at the time and admired by later generations...

It's just very strange: Pang Ji's death, the official sent a special person to treat the funeral, gave it to Sikong, added the waiter, and called Zhuang Min. Everything is life and glory and death, people were the prime ministers before their deaths, why do they make it like their family is helpless, such as Sima Guang to take care of them. Will you live on the streets, miserable?

Of course, we can think of the good thing: the leader is dead, but the family is healthy. But Sima Guang's love for leaders will never be cold. Be kind and always follow the leader. To the relatives of the leader, more respectful and cordial than when he was alive ...

All in all. In any case, what a good comrade! From this moment on, he had a title that was super valuable in officialdom. In the future, when he writes to others, he can write like this - "Your faithful Sima Junshi"

On June 20, Sima Guang followed Fan Zhen with the second edict requesting the crown prince. At the same time, Sima Guang wrote a personal letter to Fan Zhen. The letter said that this is a real big event, unless you don't say it, you must stick to it to the end, "I am willing to fight to the death"

In early July, Ouyang Xiu, Wu Kui, Lu Jingchu and others also went up to ask for the crown prince. At the same time, they also turned their attention to another major event at that time - the impeachment of Di Qing! In the past 4 years, Di Qing has made every Song literati restless, like a thorn in the back! Every time he went out on the street, there was an immediate jam. Everyone is vying to witness the first commoner with a black character on his face since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone showed their heartfelt admiration and recognition of their common origins. They vied with each other to praise the deeds of this legendary general, not to mention the forbidden army brothers in the capital, their excitement was difficult to restrain themselves, this is the pride of the entire military general community! After nearly a hundred years of oppression and humiliation, there is finally a boss who raises his eyebrows! And all this makes the civil officials angry! To be precise, it is uneasy from the bottom of my heart!

The first is Han Qi. This old leader of Di Qing on the Northwest Battlefield, after the failure of the Qingli New Deal, was demoted from the capital for many years, and was only transferred back on July 23. It's just that his position has been lowered a lot, and he has become the third envoy under the two governments. Han Xianggong, who was arrogant, actually became the subordinate of Di Qing, the original subordinate and the first-kill embryo thief. It was too much for him to bear, but he had to endure it.

It is said that the prime minister has been the head of a hundred officials since ancient times, and the officials, regardless of their age, have to pay a big salute when they see the prime minister, and the prime minister is worshiped on a flat body, and he only needs to bow his hand, and he never goes down the steps to send off guests. This rule was broken by Fu Bi, whether the official came to visit or the cloth clothes visited, the rich prime minister treated him with the same courtesy, sent the guests out, and the guests got on the horse and left before returning to the mansion. This humble and elegant gentleman's style also infected the courtiers at that time. It is said that Han Qi has also changed his style back then and has become very amiable, except for Di Qing! Although it was a little more polite, it did not have the due respect for the ministers of the two provinces. And what about Di Qing? He was a very short-faced man, and his psychology was always less bureaucratic. Just like he didn't want to get rid of the black text on his face back then, he didn't want to be promoted to have a long temper and point fingers at Han Qi. So he still went to visit Han Qi's mother often as before, and he was commensurate with Han Qi's sons.

After a long time, he was inevitably depressed. Say the sentence "I am equivalent to Han Qi's official position, but he is just one more jinshi and first" This is the key to the problem! It is also the root cause of the anger of the civilian clique! What's more, Di Qing also offended another person.

At that time, Han Qi was on the list in high school, boasting about officials on the long street, and at the same time, Di Qing committed crimes and enlisted in the army. After that, Han Qi killed Jiao Yong in front of Di Qing, and shouted "Outside the Donghua Gate, the one who sings with the champion is a good man" Wang Yaochen, he is Han Qi's class, and the good man who sings out of the Donghua Gate with the champion. This great marshal brother is even more depressed than Han Qi, because he is the privy deputy at this time, and he happens to be under Di Qing's management, and he is Di Qing's official subordinate! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Wang Yaochen looked at Di Qing every day, that angry! So when he saw Di Qing every day, he always repeated the sentence "Lord Cardinal, it's really more and more distinct" and at this time, his eyes were staring at the black words on Di Qing's face. After a long time, Di Qing finally became popular. One day, he suddenly smiled and looked at Wang Yaochen, "If you like it, I will give you two lines, how about it" Wang Yaochen's face turned red, and he couldn't say half a word. The good man outside the Donghua Gate was finally overwhelmed by a stupid soldier. This is not the shame of Wang Yaochen alone, it is the shame of the entire Great Song Dynasty civil official group!

Of course, this also includes Prime Minister Wen Yanbo. There are always people who compare him with Di Qing, who became the prime minister when he recovered a city in Beizhou, what do you compare with Di Qing's pacification of the entire Lingnan? Deceive the world and steal your name! As long as Di Qing was there, Master Wen felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Now, it's finally time to take Di Qing's knife! At the same time, this year, God seems to be very helpful, and natural and man-made disasters continue to occur.

Natural disaster: The fate of the Son of Heaven is tied to heaven, so the emperor is sick and can be completely attributed to the disaster of heaven. Then there was the failure of the Yellow River to control the water. In May, it rained heavily in Kaifeng for a whole month, and the worst result was that Kaifeng residents had to row boats to travel. In July, a comet more than 1 zhang long suddenly streaked across the sky, and its brightness lasted for a long time until August. Then something happened to the sun: on August 1, there was a solar eclipse...

Man-made disaster: First of all, there was an accident in Di Qing's family. The mansion of Haolu suddenly "strange" in the middle of the night rushed to the sky, and the Kaifeng Mansion was alarmed. For a while, the streets and alleys were in legends and memories, and Liu Chang's summary was the most in place, and he looked panicked and found Yin Wangsu of Kaifeng Mansion at that time, "My lord, please read the history of the five dynasties, Zhu Wen's residence was near Di Qing's house." On the eve of his birth, there was a strange light out of the house at night. The neighbors thought it was on fire and went to save it, but nothing happened. My lord Mingjian, is the matter of Di Qing's family a little similar now" (to be continued......)
