Xia Yu's Return to Beijing
Clothes are official uniforms, and there is no choice. Living is an official house, which is similar. It is said that his behavior and food are very talented. Xia Feng is very talented. Every morning when he wakes up, his whole body is as cold as ice. He has to be hugged by a beautiful girl for a long time before he gradually recovers. Later it was confirmed that this is related to what he eats. He drinks two bowls of stalactite porridge every day, which is poisonous. Its toxicity is similar to the "Five Stone Powder" eaten by the scholars and officials of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. His body is cold and hot, and he has to use various measures to restore his normal ability to live... As for the benefits, it is said that happiness is like a god, which is similar to opium smoking, *******...
Traveling is the most distinctive aspect of Xia Xu. He had to connect two luxurious horse-drawn cars when he went out, covering them with a brocade tent worth thousands of taels of silver to form a super luxurious extended RV. Xia Xu lay in it and swayed across the market. Even while walking, it was like the ******* and the trellis at home...
Unfortunately, the good days were not long. In less than two years, I was sent to the front line because of the outbreak of the Song-Xia War. My beautiful and enjoyable life in Kyoto - when will I return to your arms? This wish has penetrated into Lord Xia's heart and became his biggest goal. But unfortunately, there are always reasons that hinder him from realizing it... Among them, there is a rare collaboration between the Censorate and the Zhijianyuan.
Originally, when the new policy began, Fan Zhongyan could have completely classified the Censorate under his own power, because the relationship between the Chief Censor Wang Gongchen and the Chief Censor Ouyang Xiu was extraordinary. First of all, the two were in the same year. That year, Ouyang Xiu successfully won the provincial government. No one could compare with him in the current class. He was very happy. He made himself a new clothes, and waited for the palace examination to succeed and become the top scorer. However, he was too happy, and he didn't know where Wang Gongchen had jumped out. Without saying a word, he left.
Ouyang Xiu was a little confused, but forget it, just one piece of clothing. With the new clothes being stolen, he was also the top scorer. In the palace examination, Ouyang Xiu only ranked 14th. Except for the same year, the two were still brother-in-law. Their father-in-law was the one who was involved in politics, Xue Kui, the Xue family was five golden flowers, Ouyang Xiu married the fourth lady, Wang Gongchen was his brother-in-law, and married the third lady. But this was just the beginning. Miss Xue San died very early, and Wang Gongchen welcomed the fifth lady into the door. At that time, it was rumored that "the old son-in-law is the new son-in-law, and the eldest uncle is the young uncle"
This is a great ideal work-life relationship. Seeing the Censorate and the two censors, the two major censors in the Zhijianyuan, have become one, and the impeachment power has reached an unprecedented level. The nightmare that officials of the Song Dynasty fear the most is about to begin? It is completely correct! Lord Xia is the first to be affected and becomes the only victim!
It was 1043, when Lu Yijian had a stroke and the superstructure of the Song Dynasty was adjusted three times in half a year. And the first time, Xia Shu was appointed as the Privy Councilor.
The top senior official, Kaifeng Capital, had a long dream finally come true! Xia Shu rushed back quickly, but he didn't know that on his way, the two major systems of the Censorate and the Censorate were dispatched in full swing, and a total of 11 impeachment memorials... Xia Shu got closer and closer to the capital, and the censors' sense of crisis and anger became deeper and deeper...
One day, Yu Jing from the Zhijianyuan first took action and showed his chat skills. He could chat for more than two hours when a stone tower was struck by lightning. How long can he chat about such impeachment matters? So the chat continued, and continued... until Zhao Zhen lost his energy and decided to retreat to the court. At this time, the chief censor took action and made a decisive blow. He rushed forward. At this time, he was not fighting alone. Kou Zhun was possessed by his soul at this moment, and Wang Gongchen inherited the glorious tradition! He grabbed the emperor's robe and refused to let go: Boss, you might as well change your mind!
There is nothing left, Zhao Zhen is very sorry: Lord Xia, please don’t go to the city, just go to Bozhou to report! Xia Shu thus created the fastest demotion speed in history: he was driven away before he even reported!
In the end, Xia Shu entered the capital. The reason was very personal. He was old and went to Bozhou to catch such a long road. Will I be able to rest? During the break, he got all the impeachment materials and read them carefully. His heart was rolling and anger was rising. Xia Shu was a person who cherished his reputation, especially a sensitive person. His life experience: an abandoned baby was destined to be as meticulous as he could not bear the stimulation... let alone this kind of insult!
He wrote more than 10,000 words of memorial overnight to refute these impeachments. But after handing over, he received double insult. The gentlemen of the new policy replied, "There is no better way to achieve the best results than to be loyal and diligent, and to stop slander, and to practice it." You can only wash away the infamy if you do something practical!
Xia Shu was so angry that he didn't understand. This is a gentleman? A gentleman talked about the way of loyalty and forgiveness. Such fierce and meanness, and he used officials of the same dynasty as enemies. What kind of gentleman is this? He was willing to bear it, but at this moment, another super famous scholar in the history of the Song Dynasty broke out. This man wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages, completely nailing Xia Shu to the pillar of historical shame!
Shi Jie, and his "Chingli Holy Deity Poem"
Shi Jie's "The Second Jie of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shi and Tang Dynasty" is a very important figure, regardless of his knowledge or temper... Speaking of knowledge and literati, when choosing representatives in the Song Dynasty, I believe everyone will choose Su Shi and Su Dongpo as soon as possible. There is no way, Po Xian's reputation is too great, but the word "school" does not refer to poetry, songs, scholars, who are well-versed in the past and the present, and are all-encompassing. In this regard, Shi Jie is only above Dongpo, and is definitely not below him!
The reason why Shi Jie has gained a reputation in history, especially in cultural history, is that he founded the "Quelai Academy" at the foot of Qulai Mountain in Shandong, is known as Mr. Qulai!
What level do you have to be at the hometown of Confucius? This level was recommended by Han Qi on March 20, when the new policy was just implemented, and he went to Kaifeng Imperial College to give a lecture. The "Poem of the Holy Deeds of Qingli" was written at this time.
This poem has a very ancient style, with 4 words and 954 words in total, starting with "Yu Qingli in the third year of Wei Dynasty. Emperor Longxing and Xu Chuying Yao", and ending with "The emperor's actions, the ministers were intimidated. The princes were afraid of him, and the four barbarians were subdued." Shi Jie praised and praised the prime ministers and censors appointed by the new policy in the tone of the emperor. He said that this was the best time since the creation of the world. Not only humans, but also the gods of heaven, earth, man, insects and plants were very excited! Because you promoted the two great sages, namely Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi, both of them were "one Kui and one Qi". At the same time, they drove away the despicable villains, which was Xia Shu! This situation is so good. In the original words of the poem, "The advancement of all the wise men is like the wise men. The departure of the great treacherous men is like the detachment."
The effect achieved by this poem was depressed when it was published. In his opinion, how timely and appropriate it would be to sing the new world with such enthusiasm. This would greatly increase the momentum of popularization of the new policy and allow more people to join the ranks of gentlemen in the new policy!
But in addition to Xia Shu and many "villains" gritting their teeth at him, even the new policy gentleman system was confused about him: Brother Shi, what are you doing?
The first person to shake his head at him was Sun Fu, the gentleman of the "Taishan Academy", a figure as famous as him. Sun Fu and Shi Jie were classmates. Both of them were students who managed Yingtianfu Academy when Fan Zhongyan was mourning in his early years. He sighed and said: Shi Jie, your bad luck begins with this poem!
The second pain is Fan Zhongyan. What Mr. Fan is worried about is not only Shi Jie's personal safety, but also the overall situation of the new policy. He doesn't want Shi Jie to come to the capital at such a moment! Isn't it messy enough? He has already defined Shi Jie that this person cannot be used for a lot, and he will die in this mouth. He said that Shi Jie is upright and well-known, but his personality is flawed and goes to extremes. If he is asked to be a censor, he will definitely demand the emperor with high standards. If the emperor fails to do it, he will "pull his skirt and remove the threshold, kowtow and bleed, and do everything."
Who dares to use such a censor? What are the benefits of using it? But his dear colleague Han Qi recommended Shi Jie. Things deteriorated rapidly, "On the Party" and "The Poem of the Holy Deeds of Qingli", plus the impeachment memorials of 11 letters in the censor system. This wave of offensives followed, which on the surface strengthened the tall and majestic image of gentlemen, which was really proud and inspired the years. But at the same time, it was also accumulating terrible hostility. Judging from what happened later, the gentlemen of Qingli did not really know what kind of animal a villain was. Just like Xia Shu. If you offend this person, you can't even think of peace after you die!
Xia Shu's method of using words to words. A simple letter completely disintegrates the new policy and turns gentlemen into traitors! But this is a big proposition. How can we complete it successfully? Lord Xia pondered for a long time, turned around and went into the inner house, found a maid, and took out the letter: Come, look at the handwriting on it, no matter how much time it takes, learn it and imitate it!
N Tianhou, Lord Xia took out another letter: Come on! Imitate the handwriting on it and copy it again for me! But remember: I want to change a word for me!
Just one word changed the whole article and destroyed the entire Qingli New Deal!
This letter was written by Shi Jie to Fu Bi, which involves politics, but its nature is still a private letter. However, the examples of private letters are praised by all the people, such as the "Letters from Zeng Guofan" in later generations. How celebrities live, they are all role models for ordinary people! In this letter, Shi Jie was obviously not satisfied with the "Chingli Holy De Poem". In addition to scolding villains, he also had to inspire the leaders of the new policy. He encouraged Fu Bi and others to "do what happened to you, Zhou."
This is an allusion, involving two great figures in history. They are both wise ministers who have stabilized the country and safeguarded the country. Yi Yin was the person who assisted Shang Tang to establish the Shang Dynasty. It can be said that he was the first super figure who appeared in Chinese history. Zhou Gongdan was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. After King Wu destroyed Shang, he died too early. Zhou Gong fully assisted the young emperor. While suffering from greed, he fought against the east and west, quelling the remnants of the Shang Dynasty and internal rebellion. It can be said that Zhou Gong was the person who actually established the Zhou Dynasty.
To sum up, Shi Jie's meaning is very obvious, that is, to Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, like the ancient sages, turned the world and recreated the world, and everyone lived a good life. His wishes were very beautiful, but after contemplation, Xia Shu decided to change the letter to another word, which was Zhou Gong's character "Zhou", and he wanted to change it to "Huo".
The matter of "Xing Yi, Huo"! A word difference becomes a rebellious remark that can destroy the nine clans. Huo refers to Huo Guang, a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty. His identity is very complicated. On the one hand, he ranks first among the 11 heroes of the Qilin Pavilion built by Emperor Xuan of Han. He was the first of the four important officials when Emperor Wu of Han entrusted his or her orphans. He assisted the country in stability for 20 years. But on the other hand, after Emperor Zhao of Han's death, he deposed the newly established emperor Liu He and controlled the government alone for nearly half a month!
Such a person is the biggest nightmare and the monster he fears most in all monarchs of the Song Dynasty!
What is particularly terrifying is that Lord Xia has very good historical knowledge. He changed "Zhou" to "Huo" and retained the word "Yi". Yi Yin is almost a copy of Huo Guang. On the one hand, he was as meritorious as Zhou Gong. On the other hand, after Shang Tang's death, he exiled the ignorant Shang King Taijia to Tong Palace. He became the de facto Shang King for three years, and only three years later took Taijia out of Tong Palace and became Shang King again!
Do you know the seriousness of the problem? With one word of change, Shi Jie turned to Fu Bi and others to follow Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and to abolish the current Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and replace him with an active and enterprising person who is determined to reform as the emperor! At the same time, Lord Xia made this letter widely circulated, which caused a very bad situation: not only was it a traitor, but it was also a blatant rebellion. Whether it succeeded or not, he despised the current emperor to the extreme!
The letter quickly spread throughout the world, and then quickly entered the palace and handed it to Zhao Zhen. The emperor's reaction was as silent as ever. He played with the letter, as if he had seen a lot of things, but also seemed to be absent-minded, thinking about something else? This attitude finally pushed Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and the others to the extreme!
Either you issue an order to investigate, even if you get furious, we can answer it? Or if you say you don’t believe it, we can also investigate it? What should you do if you are silent like this? You are clearly doubting us!
A gentleman talks about the way of humility and resignation, and does not fight for profit. Official positions are dirt. If you make you suspicious, we can resign. If the rumors are self-defeating, our purity will be cleared!
So, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi wrote a letter to request to be released from the capital and not to be an official in the capital. It was just a coincidence that a very delicate opportunity suddenly appeared. The border between the Hebei Road of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom was reconnaissance, and the Liao Kingdom was gathering a large number of troops, such as a large-scale military operation. So Fan Zhongyan proposed that he would return to the border to guard against the Khitan and Dangxiang. Fan Zhongyan proposed that he lead heavy troops to Hebei to set up defenses. If it is realized, he would return to his value at the beginning of the new policy. At that time, he had just left Shaanxi and was the great savior of the border defense of the Song Dynasty. Psychologically, everyone took him seriously and did not dare to refute him. It was this point that gave him the confidence to launch the Qingli New Policy more than 10 months ago...
At this time, he returned to the frontier and faced the Khitans who were more dangerous than Dangxiang. I believe that he could wake up the Song Dynasty officialdom, which had been trapped in a fanatical internal strife, and even after he left, he would not interrupt the new policy he was implementing. This is a solution that could not only continue to develop but also clear away rumors...
He thought very well, but unfortunately his life was too hard. He was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate. Before the political enemies could object, his allies all jumped out. The military representative of the Privy Councilor Du Yan took the lead, and the Privy Councilor Fu Bi quickly followed: You are purely imaginary. The Liao Dynasty recruited troops only to suppress the rebellion in Xixia, and it was incompatible with the invasion of the Song Dynasty. You sent troops and allocated money and food, and you were looking for trouble at all. This was a waste of time! Fu Bi also solemnly promised the emperor that the Liao Dynasty would never invade. If I said it wrong, I would be willing to bear the crime of "deception of the emperor", Fan Zhongyan was furious. This was his last effort to make for the new policy, and he could not give in any matter! So in the Golden Palace, he quarreled with Du Yan and Fu Bi!
According to historical records, he cited six major doubts and three kinds of worries, a total of 670 words, proving that the Liao Kingdom was likely to have a joint invasion with the Xixia this time. Fu Bi, the opposite side, responded with 347 words, and reiterated his point of view: Now the world is peaceful, no matter Hedong, Hebei, or Shaanxi, there is no war in any area! Fan Zhongyan, you are talking nonsense, don’t know what is the matter!
They had a big argument, but in the end they left the house in shame and had to leave. Because the emperor didn't say a word, he pretended that he had seen nothing.
Fan Zhongyan was unwilling to give up! He wanted to make the last interlocutor with his comrades, and then go to the Golden Palace to unify his caliber... This time he got the most fatal blow. Han Qi, who had been silent, said, "If you must go, I'll go. There is no need for the court to ride one by one."
