Chapter 495: The Tiger in the Palace
The Taiwan counselor, that is, the imperial history, regardless of whether it is framed or deliberately clinging, needs to come up with defensible evidence. For example, in the whole Su Shi Wutai poetry case back then, the first person to report the impeachment of Su Shi was Shen Kuo, that's right, it was the big scientist.
and excerpted a sentence from Su Shi's "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao": "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and uncomfortable, and it is difficult to follow Xinjin; He may be able to shepherd the small people. “
It means that the emperor used the law changer to know how to toss the common people blindly.
Shen Kuo used evidence to prove Su Shi's dissatisfaction with the law-changing faction making trouble everywhere.
Later, Li Ding, He Zhengchen, and Shu Yan of the Imperial History Observatory wrote a book to impeach Su Shi one after another, not without a little evidence, but excerpted many of Su Shi's poems to the emperor and Wang Anshi. During that period, almost everyone in Yushitai had a collection of Su Shi's poems, and they were pondering that sentence was a hint of His Majesty, and that sentence was a hint of the government. Under the mobilization of the people, they really found a lot of evidence.
This is why Emperor Shenzong was angry and arrested Su Shi in the capital and imprisoned.
Of course, these poems are far-fetched, but they only express Su Shi's dissatisfaction with the change. But the problem is that Su Shi was too famous at that time, and after Ouyang Xiu's death, Su Shi was the one who held the bull's ear in the Great Song Dynasty literary circle. Su Shi seems to have become the leader of the literary circle of the Great Song Dynasty, such a person shows his dissatisfaction with the reform of the law, and the influence of the Shenzong on the implementation of the change, especially among the scholars, is indeed very bad.
Moreover, Su Shi is still a big mouth, and he writes letters to friends everywhere to complain about the mistakes of the imperial court. He also printed a lot of poetry collections at his own expense, and in the past, Su Shi printed a copy of his own anthology every year or every two years, and then sent it everywhere.
can talk about Su Shi's destructive power.
He is definitely not as good as Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongshu and others.
Unfortunately, Su Shi became the unlucky guy who was warned.
Because, although Su Shi is very famous, he is not a big official, and he only knows the state. An old courtier like Wen Yanbo, even if he scolded Wang Anshi in the court, Wang Anshi could only bear it. Even Emperor Shenzong had to make a deferential appearance. But in the face of Su Shi's need, in the end, Su Shi almost lost his life in this political game.
Although he saved his life in the end, he was so scared that he didn't recover for half his life. In recent years, anthologies have not been printed.
Even to do Su Shi, there must be evidence.
As Liu Anshi, who is the middle of the imperial history, how can he tolerate his subordinate Zhang Shangying making nonsense in the main hall. And it is still aimed at Li Kui, the insidious person who adds righteousness to his body.
It was easy to deal with Su Shi back then.
But now, Su Shi's apprentice is not as easy to deal with as Su Shi.
There are too many labels on Li Kui's body, so he won't talk about the disciples of Sumen, and the apprentices and grandsons will study in front of the ancestors, and there will be no one. And Li Kui is rich, and it is not enough to be kind and charitable, but many people have received his favors.
Secondly, Li Kui looks like a eunuch, after he became an official, he magically often mixed with eunuchs, and no one believed that there was no exchange of interests.
Besides, Li Kui's status as a relative, although his relationship with the emperor does not seem to be far away, but the emperor's quasi-brother-in-law is solid. And because of Li Kui, Concubine Zhu finally sat on the throne of the queen mother. Based on this alone, the emperor will look at Li Kui differently. As for Xing Shu and the others, everyone knows that although they have a high status, they are definitely not the people in charge.
In addition, Li Kui is quite popular among conservatives, Su Song, Fan Chunren, and later Su Zhe have all accepted Li Kui.
In addition, Zhang Dian actually values Li Kui, plus Lu Huiqing and so on
Li Kui silently weaved a network of relationships for himself.
Zhang Shangying was in the Great Dynasty Meeting, on the most important palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and he actually opened his mouth and said that Li Kui framed people? And there is no evidence to prove that what is said is true, which is tantamount to false accusations.
Moreover, Liu Anshi also doesn't like Zhang Shangying.
His fame came from his upright character as a courtier, not as an official position.
Originally, he actually had the official position of being transferred to the Privy Council and entering the Privy Council. But he was stopped by Su Zhe and stayed in Menxia Province as the prefect of the Yushitai, Yushi Zhongcheng. It can be said that with Liu Anshi in Menxia Province, Su Zhe can not worry about Menxia Province being set up by outsiders. Even if Liu Anshi is not a member of the conservative faction, his character cannot sit idly by and watch the flies and dogs behave in front of him.
Only then did Zhang Shangying realize that he had lost his words, and his speech was not very coherent: "My lord, this is the lower official, Li Kui him!" ”
"Yangquan County Lieutenant Di'an, even if he is blamed, he is to blame, not to mention, Li Zhimi helped him fight for an opportunity to be ashamed. It is reasonable that this person should be grateful to Li Zhimi, instead of ignoring the grace of the imperial court because of the danger of the border plug. If he escaped before the Iron Hoof of Western Xia, this person would not be enough to set an example. ”
Liu Anshi is not a person who is a fairie, and then said angrily to Zhang Shangying: "You are an official of the Imperial History Observatory, why did you deliberately target Li Zhimi? The old man doesn't want to know, but the old man knows that you are selfish, and selfish people will definitely not be able to do a good job in imperial history. The Taiwan admonition is the eyes and ears of the imperial court, which is convenient for His Majesty to speak widely, rather than being deliberately framed by people to confuse the public. ”
"Your Excellency!"
Zhang Shang's anger was more poignant, he wanted to rectify Li Kui. But more than just the rectification of Li Kui, but against Su Zhe and the emperor.
The emperor's attitude was ambiguous, although he wanted to explain the atmosphere of the Divine Sect, but the emperor Zhao Xu also seemed to feel it, and after driving away the conservatives, it seemed that the court had become a hall of words for the reformers. Keeping Su Zhe seems to be good for him as well. I have to say that Zhao Xu didn't learn anything else from the third uncle, but the art of balance is quite successful.
Zhang Shangying also saw that he was going to be cold, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, the minister lost his words." ”
Zhao Xu didn't mean to forgive Zhang Shangying at all, but looked at Liu Anshi, he was so impressed by this person, Sima Guang, Lu Gong's writings, and no matter how famous he was, he had been sprayed. The key is that others are attacking, but he is standing in the position of the Great Song Dynasty against the mistakes of the rulers, and no one can find faults.
To be honest, a minister of the court like Liu Anshi, let alone the prime minister, even the emperor will scare him.
Fortunately, after Zhao Xu became pro-government, Liu Anshi miraculously did not spray him once. It made Liu Anshi gain a lot of favor in the emperor's place.
"Zhang Qing continues!"
Liu Anshi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Li Zhimi said is the reason. There is a way to read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. No hardships, no easy words. The Imperial Historical Observatory is the constitution of the imperial court and the place where the discipline of the rectification is located. Among the imperial history, there are many people who read well, but there are also many people who are not enough to see and have the ability to theorize the rulers of the imperial court. If you don't know the military side, let them go to the military side; If you don't know about local government affairs, you should hone in on government affairs. The imperial history must have a pragmatic heart, so that the ground can be thundered and there is something to say. ”
"My lord, but I'm a civilian official, how can I lead troops to fight?"
Zhang Shangying was really desperate, he didn't expect that the original thing that bullied Li Kui would be set on fire, if he really went to the northwest, he didn't know how he died.
But Liu Anshi was not moved at all, and said coldly: "Shen Cunzhonggong, who has also been a left-handed advisor, can lead troops to fight in the northwest, why can't you?" ”
Shen Cunzhonggong is Shen Kuo.
The great scientist actually did a lot of things in the Great Song Dynasty, and of course the official was not small.
As for leading the troops to fight, they really fought. In the battle of Yongle City, the Song army was defeated, and Shen Kuo, who was the official to the Yan Yan Road and the pacification envoy, led his troops to the rescue, and then returned defeated. This was the only big defeat in his life, and it also ruined his career.
If Liu Anshi didn't talk about Shen Kuo, Zhang Shangying wouldn't think it, but when he said Shen Kuo, he was immediately frightened, this is not a good example. That's right, Shen Kuo is an official who has done Zuo Si's advice, from a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, he is considered a high-ranking subordinate official of the subordinate province of Menxia, and he is second only to the number one of the third rank in the imperial history platform. But the question is, is Shen Kuo a negative textbook?
Didn't you see that Shen Kuo ended in a fiasco after passing through the Yan Road, and then was degraded all the way?
Actually, Shen Kuo doesn't think he is a scientist, but in fact, he also has a hand in fighting. When I was in the northwest, I won many battles. The thief used in the strategy is that this old man is a little bad, and he always likes to do things with the trend of inflammation. At that time, the imperial court sent Xu Xi to weigh the army. Shen Kuo, who was obviously the coach, actually obeyed Xu Xiyan. Why? It's too simple, Xu Xi is a person sent by the emperor, although the official position is lower than him, but it represents the emperor, Shen Kuo was threatened by Xu Xihu's fake tiger, and decided to follow. After that, there was the Yongle City fiasco.
But the problem is that although Shen Kuo is a civil servant, he can really fight. If it weren't for the critical moment, he would have made an old mistake, and he might have been a Fan Zhongyan again. It's not about character, but about the ability to go through the northwest.
Shen Kuo has the ability, but in the face of power, he can't help but feel a little weak in his knees.
This is not a big problem, anyway, there are really many people who are used to it like this among civil officials.
But what about Zhang Shangying?
Let him lead his troops to fight, and he doesn't know how he will die.
Zhang Shangying felt that he should save himself, and it was good not to go to the northwest and manage the place for the Great Song Dynasty. As a last resort, Zhang Shangying had no choice but to recommend himself: "Your Majesty, the minister is not good at soldiers, but he can still do governance, and the minister is willing to be a herdsman's minister for His Majesty." ”
"Oh, the way of governance?" Zhao Xu didn't know much about Zhang Shangying, so he knew that this person had been jumping all the time, and he didn't know what to dance.
Zhao Xu asked Yang Wei: "Yang Qing, what is Zhang Siji's political achievements in the local area?" ”
Adults slap in the face.
Yang Wei is a scheming person, he has long seen Zhang Shangying's thoughts, and wants to fish in troubled waters, and after moving left and right among the big guys, he will get enough qualifications.
But Zhang Shangying's political achievements are really embarrassing.
The officials quickly found out Zhang Shangying's resume from the archives in the imperial city. Outcome......
Yang Wei looked at Zhang Shangying in surprise and asked, "Master Zhang, after you have been a Jinshi for 20 years, you have also worked as a wine supervisor?" ”
The wine supervisor is a miscellaneous officer.
Generally, it is a novice official position that cannot be degraded, or a grace and shadow official. The main job is to collect taxes on local breweries. From the civil officials of Jiupin, he has already put gold on his face.
For Zhang Shangying, this is another unbearable past.
Back then, he plotted a miscalculation by the court bosses, and then was reinstated by no intelligence.
Zhang Shangying has actually been doing repeated things all her life, framing people, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. It's easy to say if you succeed, but it's not necessarily bad luck if you fail. But Zhang Shangying is a person with ideals, and it is not uncommon for ordinary people to be framed for impeachment. Therefore, once he fails, for him, he will have to shed his skin even if he does not die.
It's like in the early years of Yuan You, he was still sitting as a seven-rank pusher, but what about the people he was a jinshi in the same period?
There is no bachelor in the official position, and the post of a straight bachelor must have an official body of a waiter at the very least, and there is nothing, and they are embarrassed to go out to the banquet. Bachelor's degree, three grades; Straight Bachelor, from the third grade; The most inferior service system also has an official rank from the fourth grade. If you are a straight bachelor of the Privy Council, the starting point is the third grade.
And what about him?
Nothing.
After working for more than 30 years, if it weren't for the Fa Change, there was really no one available, he was remembered, maybe this guy would be below the sixth grade in his life.
Zhang Shangying was desperate, he found that he had been in office for more than 30 years, and he had nothing to show off. Knowing this, he also learned from Su Shi, and there was no way to brush up his political achievements, so he simply dredged a canal, dug a lake, and took it out to break it.
Liu Anshi looked at Zhang Shangying in disgust and suggested Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, no one is born to use soldiers. Zhang Qi was a transport envoy, and he never knew that he had the ability to use soldiers; Wang Shao is a scholar, and he doesn't go to Xiliang, and he doesn't know that he will use soldiers. But the use of troops is a major matter of the country, and it is not appropriate to let Zhang Shangying go to Huanzhou Zhizhou, in case of bad things, it will trap our Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians in fire and water. It is better to arrange to go to Yanyan Road to be a lifting envoy. ”
The promotion of Changping is far worse than that of Zhizhou, and this official position is an unlucky guy who escorts money and grain. A group of men watched the warehouse supervisor of the grain depot.
Of the three accountabilitys, two have already ended, and as for the last one, it is not a big problem at all.
Yan Yanlu's record is real, there is no need to deceive, and there is no way to suppress it.
Cai Jing's recital has long been in the hands of the emperor, and there is no doubt about the province of Menxia, so I will stop it!
After solving Li Kui's troubles, the emperor's mind has flown out for a few miles, and Zhao Xu is now thinking of the first time that the forbidden army defeated Western Xia after he was in power. Immediately afterwards, he felt that there was no decent Taimiao prisoner, and he was blind to such a prominent political achievement. So after he secretly asked Tong Guan to talk to the courtiers one after another, Zhang Dian raised his head and suggested that Taimiao sacrifice prisoners to highlight the emperor's merits.
When it comes to the worship of the Taimiao Temple, the next thing is the suggestion of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
As an emperor, he had never experienced a single sacrifice of prisoners in Taimiao, and Zhao Xu listened extremely seriously. Add your own ideas from time to time.
And Li Kui also drowned among the courtiers from the protagonist of the main hall, waiting for the officials to send him an official. Seeing Zhang Shangying's down-and-out appearance, Li Kui still had the heart to comfort him: "Master Zhang, I will become a colleague in the future, but I want to be closer!" ”
Zhang Shangying also knew that Li Kui was deliberately disgusting him, calm down, and just ignored people.
After going down to the court, Liu Anshi also stopped Li Kui and said with a smile: "Renjie, take a walk with the old man?" ”
