The official Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Do you really not want to do this position of prime minister?" Then I will fulfill you! ”

Yan Shu was shocked, and without waiting for Fan Zhongyan to say anything, he hurriedly went out to give a gift, walked to Fan Zhongyan's side and whispered, "Xiwen, you are too rash!" Not only will you be hindered in your career, but it will also affect the people who recommended you. ”

Yan Shu said to the official Zhao Zhen again: "Official, Fan Zhongyan is such a straightforward and impartial person, if he contradicts the official family because of his words, please see that he is meritorious in protecting His Majesty, and don't deal with him easily!" ”

Fan Zhongyan knelt on the ground without showing mercy, and said bluntly: "Serving the emperor should be dangerous words and deeds, never inferior words and deeds, flattery, and things that are beneficial to the court and society, must be fair and straightforward, even if there is a disaster of killing." ”

"Xiwen!" Yan Shu was also a little displeased.

The crown prince Zhongyun Yin Su came out and asked: "Official, Fan Zhongyan acted impartially during the prime minister's tenure and never showed favoritism, so he should not be deposed because he impeached someone, if this is the case, which minister will dare to discuss the matter of impeachment lightly in the future?" ”

"This matter is non-negotiable!" Zhao Zhen said with a stiff face.

"Official, this is against the way of the benevolent monarch, please think twice." Yin Su gave Zhao Zhen a deep look.

Pavilion Proofreader Ouyang Xiu said: "If people are harmonious, then heaven is smooth." When the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian was alive, Fan Zhongyan had a meritorious service in protecting His Majesty, and now that the Empress Dowager is newly dead, His Majesty wants to depose the meritorious ministers for no reason, and the ministers will admonish! ”

He turned his head and said to several officials of the court: "Fan Zhongyan is upright, through the ancient and modern, no one among the courtiers can compare!" Now that the innocent have been deposed, are you as counselors not admonishing you? In this way, how do you enter and leave the court and meet the scholars?! ”

Speaking excitedly, Ouyang Xiu even pointed to Cheng Gao Rune in the imperial history and said: "Can you know that there is something shameful in the world?" Today I realize that I am not a gentleman! ”

Gao Ruone's face turned red and blue for a while, and he had no choice but to play: "The minister also asks Your Majesty to take back his order!" ”

Zhao Zhen was furious, "Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu, do you want to form a party with Fan Zhongyan?" You're still going to hold hundreds of officials hostage to threaten me? Come! Give me a decree to demote Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu, and Ouyang Xiu to Waifu! ”

Secretary Cheng Yujing came out of work and knelt down, "Please take back your majesty's life!" Fan Zhongyan is upright but selfless. His Majesty is pro-government, and he dethrones loyal ministers, which makes people inevitably feel cold. Gentiles will laugh at me for cooking at the dead rabbit and the dog, and hiding the bird with the bow......"

"Bastard! Do you want to be degraded with them? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Yijian in the train looked coldly at the lively scene in the hall and said nothing. Originally, he was quite good at bending his intentions to welcome the official family, but because of Lu Gang's affairs, he hated Ye Pei, and naturally he didn't want Ye Pei to be crowned queen.

Zhao Zhen looked at the situation in the palace out of control, and asked Lu Yijian by name: "Lu Xianggong has been the prime minister for many years, what is his opinion?" ”

The clever Lu Yijian saw that the official family asked him, and knew that there was another opportunity, so he deliberately belittled Fan Zhongyan and said: "Your Majesty is angry! Today's matter can be discussed another day, and there is no need to rush it. Please also ask Prime Minister Fan to think about his own mistakes, don't talk too much! ”

Fan Zhongyan immediately retorted: "Lu Yijian, you are bent to welcome, how can you be worthy of a great responsibility?" Although Fan was deposed, he left his name in the annals of history! ”

Lu Yijian has controlled the imperial court for many years, and there are naturally many friends of his own.

Shangshudu official Wailang Mei Yaochen pretended to persuade Fan Zhongyan to say

"What Fan Xianggong said is too much, is it true that you are the only one in the world who is your heartfelt majesty and is the prime minister?" Your wealth and glory are all from Your Majesty, don't you want to repay them? I see that you should keep silent, and it is better to keep your official position! ”

Fan Zhongyan was furious, "What can wealth and glory do?" What is there to fear from death?! Today, Fan is going to die, and the minister's heartfelt world can be learned! Chen Ning died for Ming, not for Mo Sheng! ”

Lu Yijian immediately said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zhongyan overstepped his duties, colluded with friends, and divided the monarchs and ministers, and deserved to be demoted!" ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Lu Yijian has ruined the world during his twenty years in power!" On the day of his reign, he seized national power and coerced China and foreign countries, and everyone was afraid of him! ”

"Fan Zhongyan doesn't know the way of the monarch and the minister, and deliberately contradicts His Majesty to fight for his name, and traps His Majesty in unkindness, which is the real rebel!"

……

"Enough trouble!" Zhao Zhen slapped the table and shouted!

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"The minister knows that he is wrong!"

"It's a courtesy!"

All the courtiers fell on their knees and bowed.

"This matter will be discussed another day, retreat from the court!" Zhao Zhen flicked the sleeves of his robe and withdrew from the vertical arch hall.

The next day, the official Zhao Zhen issued an order, Fan Zhongyan overstepped his duties, colluded with friends, and was demoted to the general sentence of Hezhong Mansion, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu and others were also demoted, and Lu Yijian temporarily replaced Tongping Zhangshi.

This edict attracted criticism from the ministers.

Fu Bi, a bachelor of Zhixian Academy, said: "In the past, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian was in the court, Your Majesty was restrained, and the matter was too weak, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian did not dare to do martial arts.

Now His Majesty has been temporarily relieved, and he has forgotten his old loyal ministers, fabricated his crimes, and expelled them. Your Majesty dethrones a person as a trivial matter with the respect of ten thousand vehicles, but the loss of the body is also great. ”

There is also a sparse recital: "Your Majesty is pro-government, the country is safe, and the palace cannot tolerate the imitation of the Empress Dowager, so it is tantamount to feeding a tiger on the side of the couch, and Your Majesty will not be able to sleep in peace for a day in the future." If His Majesty has a disagreement with the minister of the capital because of the lord of the county, the lord of the county is to blame. The minister asked His Majesty to give him a marriage as soon as possible, so that he could leave the palace and live on his own. ”

Some people didn't know what to say, and said tactfully: "The lord of Le'an is smart and wise, and he has meritorious service to the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian." Now that it has reached the age of surrender, Zongzheng Temple should come forward to find a matchmaker, choose a good match from God, and choose the sun to go out of the palace to establish a mansion. ”

Zhao Zhen held this piece of music in his hand and sighed, "Pei'er, I just want to marry you, why is it so difficult?" Is there a perfect law in the world? Live up to the dynasty and live up to the state! ”

Ye Pei didn't know about the previous dynasty in the deep palace, but after a few days, he suddenly saw the arrival newspaper that said: Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan was demoted to the general judgment of Hezhong Mansion. She was shocked and hurried to the Qinzheng Temple to face the saint.

"Sixth brother, what crime did Fan Xianggong commit to depose him?" Ye Pei asked eagerly.

"Don't ask!"

Ye Pei said again: "Official, Fan Xianggong is the first person to assist you in pro-government?" ”

"Don't say too much and ask more, go back to Qifeng Pavilion!" Zhao Zhen's face has changed.

Ye Pei didn't leave, and insisted: "Your Majesty, please take back your fate, you are suitable for the government, and you also need the assistance and help of a talent like Fan Xianggong, you can't depose the meritorious heroes because of one or two provocative words from others!" ”

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "I haven't appointed you as the queen, so you have to do politics?" ”

Ye Pei knelt down and kowtowed, "Even Your Majesty."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If you want to punish me, I will also persuade Your Majesty to be benevolent and virtuous! ”

"Someone is coming, the lord of Le'an County is spoiled and has nothing to do with the palace rules, and ordered her to be grounded in the Feng Pavilion, and she is not allowed to be released without my order."

"Sixth brother! Could it be that you are only pro-government, so you can't listen to other people's words, and you want to be a dumb king? ”

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he couldn't know it, and shouted loudly: "Chen Zhongyi! ”

Chen Zhongyi hurriedly persuaded Ye Peidao: "County Lord, don't say it, the official family naturally has his last resort. Wait for the official's anger to subside and persuade you again, at this time it is just adding fuel to the fire, and it will not help! ”

"I don't need you to pull, I can walk by myself!" Ye Pei shook off Chen Zhongyi's hand and strode back to Qifeng Pavilion.

Looking at the back of Ye Pei leaving, Zhao Zhen was not angry but hurt, "Pei'er, will you really be as they say, you will have ambitions in the future, and you will betray me?" If your power is big enough, will you directly contradict and disobey me when you encounter this incident today? Should I really marry an incompetent queen? ”

But this matter is far from over, more and more scholars and doctors are sloppy, and they all accuse Ye Pei, saying that Fan Zhongyan is loyal, and the official family should not depose loyal ministers.

The dethronement of Fan Zhongyan fermented like dough, growing bigger and bigger, and the daily twists and turns were like snowflakes, which made Zhao Zhen have a headache, and even the regular political affairs were delayed.

Why can't the emperor even depose a courtier in his own hands?

It turned out that when the Song Dynasty was founded, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, in order to prevent future generations from being unscrupulous, and also to prevent the prime minister or the empress dowager from dictatorship, set up a court of admonition and established a system of admonition, and they could impeach officials to restrain their behavior. It also established the basic national policy that officials should not punish crimes by their words, so the officials were very outspoken and daring to admonish.

The power of the courtiers is strong, and it is precisely because of this power that the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian could not do the things of the Empress Dowager in the martial arts, and the official Zhao Zhen did not lose the throne. Now, because of this power, he can't do whatever he wants to depose the courtiers.

The monarch and the minister are opposed, and the daily political affairs are not dealt with in a timely manner, and many social contradictions are exposed.

Zhao Zhen was already in charge of the government just now, and he was not familiar with many things, and with the departure of Fan Zhongyan, who was an auxiliary minister, things in the court became a mess. Hundreds of officials complained, public resentment boiled, and the official Zhao Zhen became anxious.

In June, there was a severe drought in the world, and the locust plague spread, especially in the middle of the river. At this time, Fan Zhongyan had already taken office in Hezhong Mansion, and in order to calm the people's hearts, he asked the imperial court to send people to inspect the disaster situation and open a warehouse to release grain.

However, the official Zhao Zhen was worried about the establishment of the future, and he was inexperienced, so he couldn't think of the severity and serious consequences it would bring, so he didn't pay attention to it.

In the same month, on the birthday of the eldest princess of Wanshou, Ye Pei, the lord of Le'an, was ordered by the official family to enter the mansion to celebrate her birthday.

This longevity eldest princess is the seventh daughter of Taizong, that is, Zhao Zhen's aunt, and she has a very high seniority. When she was young, she didn't like luxury, followed filial piety, was rumored to be a model for women, and was often talked about, and even Ye Pei knew several of her deeds.

It is said that when Taizong was alive, once, Taizong called several daughters to his side and asked them to choose the treasures in the palace to observe the interests and hobbies of the princesses. The seventh princess didn't even take any of them, and even Taizong praised this daughter for being extraordinary.

When the seventh princess was eight or nine years old, her father died, and her brother Zhenzong succeeded to the throne and named her the eldest princess of longevity.
