1 After all the ups and downs of the officialdom, the only person who has not changed is Ouyang Xiu. With the living "gentlemen" of Qingli New Policy, Fu Bi changed and Han Qi changed. Those youth pavilions who had been inspiring and vigorous will not be found. Only Ouyang Xiu was like what he used to be and what he is now. This made him continue to make a fool of himself in the officialdom and always be regarded as an alien! But "Where is the way, even if there are thousands of people, I will go." He insisted on the belief that he had been firmly in his youth. Although it was pedantic and inappropriate, he still maintained his true nature as a scholar in the officialdom where material desires were rampant, and he always was himself. Isn't this extremely valuable?

2 The reason for his failure this time is also very simple. In all dynasties, it has never been a people's livelihood project, but a government project! Ouyang Xiu and Qingli people gradually drifted apart, and were not in the same stream. They were non-partisans, so naturally no one would pay attention to his opinions! There are supporters of the three opinions, no matter which of them, there are behind the scenes. Behind Jia Changchao is Chen Zhizhong, behind Li Zhongchang is Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, and because he actually did not propose specific solutions, Ding Du can ignore it.

Such a big project will become his huge political capital under whoever rule is successful (as regarding the abdication between Shun and Yu, historians insist that this is not abdication, but a seizure of power! Dayu accumulated huge political capital in flood control, and was able to exile Shun to Cangwu and become the leader of China himself. Later, he turned the public world into private world, passed on his son Qi, and created the first dynasty in Chinese history.) Just like the restoration of the old Taoist law of Jia Changchao, he and Chen Zhizhong were both in a state of stepping down. If they were adopted, where would the current Wen and Fu look for their faces? Once the river management was successfully managed, who would be the credit? Jia and Chen immediately gained a reputation for making a comeback!

On the 5th, Emperor Daozong of Liao appointed Xiao Guanyin, the daughter of Xiao Hui, as the queen. He conferred his two younger brothers and Luwu as the king of Lu, and Alian as the king of Chen. Nelugu, the son of Yelu Chongyuan, was named King of Wu.

Regarding the issue of final interests, the huge flood hazard became secondary. Both sides used all means to suppress the other party's plan, and the enemy's intentions could not be successful in any case! The first person to attack was Jia Changchao. Jia Changchao was very experienced. During the Qingli period, he was promoted from the right counselor and the censor to the Chief Secretary to the General Affairs Officer and then to the Privy Councilor. It was not until the new policy that he was driven out of the court by Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and then to the court, and at that time he became enemies with Fu Bi. At this time, the opportunity suddenly came, allowing him to use the outside world to attack...

The opportunity happened on the first day of the first lunar month of Zhihe (1056), on that day, all officials gathered in the hall to celebrate the New Year's Day ceremony. No one expected: When the curtains were rolled up and the emperor showed up, everyone was about to worship, but suddenly the emperor's head fell to one side, and then he fell down! The emperor fainted!

The curtain on the imperial stairs immediately pulled up again, and the figures inside were shaking, and there was a turmoil. The officials below were panicked and didn't know what was going on with the emperor. After a while, the curtain was opened again, and everyone saw the familiar official family. He could sit up straight again and face everyone with him...

On that day, the ministers barely suppressed the fear in their hearts, saluted His Majesty in turn and then slowly retreated. However, everyone was wondering: What happened to the emperor? Can you still go to court to govern as usual tomorrow?

Of course not! Fortunately, there is an annual leave for the Spring Festival. The annual leave of the Song Dynasty was held until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. When you go to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will continue to congratulate you, and there will be major programs. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a banquet will be held in Zichen Hall to entertain the Khitan envoys who come to pay New Year's greetings. All court officials were worried. If Your Majesty fainted in public again, this reputation will be spread to the country!

Sure enough, on this day, after everything was done according to the usual and pomp, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo would hold a wine cup in his hand, climb the steps to celebrate the emperor's birthday at close range, and invite the emperor to deliver a New Year's speech.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said, "Are you unhappy?" Lord Wen was stunned. What does this sentence mean? Is Your Majesty dislike me, or does it dislike Khitans? He guessed the answer quickly in his mind, but he felt it was unreliable. Rule told him that the most likely answer was that the emperor was still dizzy, and he was talking in his sleep! Then, I, the prime minister, should not faint? So shut up! Serve the food immediately! Start eating!

At the banquet that day, Emperor Renzong sat steadily, without saying anything or even expressing his expression. Until the banquet ended, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when the day passed again, everyone had a question mark in their hearts: Did the emperor recover from his illness? Or was it worse?

It’s hard to say! Instant fainting or incoherent speech, which one is more fatal?

On the sixth day of the second day, according to the usual practice, the Khitan envoys were to see them off. They were still in Zichen Hall, and the original team continued to drink and eat! When the Liao envoys came to the hall and walked to the center of the court, the emperor suddenly shouted, "Summons to the envoys to the hall quickly, and I almost never meet each other."

The ministers in the palace shivered collectively. Did you lose your memory today? Or did you sleepwalking yesterday and forget all the whole day? Seeing that the Song Dynasty, which had been maintained in front of aliens for nearly 100 years, was about to collapse, the officials present immediately began to cooperate and divided into two groups:

The Prime Minister Wen Yanbo stepped forward and stopped the Khitan envoy and pulled him out directly! The reason was that the emperor was happy. He got drunk last night, so today our ministers held a banquet in the inn and let's change the station to drink!

The stage was also in a mess, and the eunuchs and eunuchs said nothing, and they set up the emperor and left. The situation was really similar to the prime minister...

That night, the prime ministers did not go home, so they found the eunuchs in the palace, Shi Zhicong and Deng Baoji, and proposed a request that the first time since the establishment of the Song Dynasty had been made. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo asked the eunuch to inform the emperor of his condition at any time, and not to hide it or delay!

The reason is sufficient! The country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor is so sick. The ministers must know it!

He looked very loyal, but he was rejected by the eunuchs: It’s not your turn to speak up for the matter inside the palace! Do whatever you should do and don’t cause trouble for yourself!

To be honest, the eunuchs are right. In and outside the palace, those are two completely different worlds. The reason for the complete separation is not only because of the emperor's male psychology, but also the possibility of cuckolding himself, but more importantly, it is for security reasons: personal safety and political security!

Just like at this time, Lord Wen looked loyal, but if this precedent was set, in the future, as long as the emperor had a minor illness and disaster, he would be able to control the palace at any time! Then is the surname Zhao or Wen in the world?

Everyone understands the truth, and some people hesitate, like Fu Bi. But Wen Yanbo yelled! He yelled a great truth in the ear of the eunuch Shi Zhicong. What really works in the grand thesis is the last sentence "Come on, take this person with the surname Shi to the provincial government office to sign and issue a military order! If the ministers of the two governments do not know about the matter in the future, they will chop him down."

Shi Zhicong immediately became convinced. Not only did he agree to report his condition every day, but even when the gates of the palace were about to be closed that night, he would guard the gate and talk to Wen Yanbo. It is up to you to decide whether to close the city or not...

Lord Wen knew very well that this was not to accept it, but to have to accept it. Is it too strong for me to do this? It seems that there will be troubles! But now I can't control so much. That day, he stood in front of the palace gate in the dark night, looking at the palace palace, with His Majesty in his heart: Master, how great it would be if I could see you again tomorrow!

As he wished, he really met the emperor the next day. Early in the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, the emperor suddenly rushed out of the palace with his hair disguised, shouting "The Queen and Zhang Maoze are planning a great rebellion."

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's hair instantly took off his official hat, a big rebellion... It was not only a rebellion, but also a killing king! The emperor rolled out and rushed out to apply for political refuge. What are the ministers waiting for? They didn't rush up to save people!

But yesterday, the scene happened again. The emperor's trembling hands stretched forward. The eunuchs rushed up, pressed him firmly, turned around collectively, and returned to the palace. A group of ministers outside were left in a daze...

While staying, the eunuchs turned around and said something, making them cold from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. "You should just pardon the official family and eliminate disasters." The amnesty is to pardon the world. Generally speaking, you will not use this trick until the last step. This means that all the imperial doctors in the inner court are desperate, and the emperor cannot cure their illnesses. Only by God can it work.

The clouds covered the top of the two prefectures. What was placed before the ministers of the two prefectures was a bad situation that had never happened since the establishment of the Song Dynasty. The emperor was crazy, and the prince had not yet. Who will manage the huge country? In the crisis, Lord Wen was unique. He instantly passed on the trouble to the eunuchs: wait for the amnesty first, and after the tenth day of the lunar month, who would know what would turn around in the few days! Now we will hold a ceremony in the Daqing Hall in the inner courtyard of the palace to pray for blessings. The ministers of the two prefectures will stay in the Dawen overnight from today, on duty day and night, and are responsible to the emperor at any time!

The eunuchs were stunned. Since the creation of the world, no ministers have formed gangs to spend the night in the palace! Especially when the emperor was critically ill and had no leader! Not to mention the political consequences, you guys can make the reputation of the concubines in the palace turn red and dyed! The eunuch Shi Zhicong could no longer bear it. "You guys, there is no precedent in this matter, I'm afraid it's not right."

Wen Yanbo coldly replied, "Is there any precedent to check in this situation now?"

The eunuchs shut up collectively. You are ruthless! Shi Zhicong turned around and left! He really lost all the majesty of the seniors of the Han and Tang Dynasties! But no matter how angry he was, he knew very clearly that the most important link of the eunuch's power is now zero! No matter what, he cannot compete with foreign ministers - eunuchs must have the support of the emperor to have power! Shi Zhicong endured it, and the ministers lived in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Perhaps the prayer had worked. On the 9th, the emperor's mind was slightly restored and he could meet everyone in Chongzheng Hall. After that, it disappeared immediately. The ministers stared at the door of the bedroom and began to exchange glances - it was all at this point, why did you still have this door?

On the 10th, the ministers finally walked towards the emperor's bedroom step by step! At this time, Shi Zhicong rushed up again: No matter what, you can't go to the emperor's bedroom, right? However, just as he was about to speak, Fu Bi yelled back, "How can the Prime Minister not see the emperor for a day?"

Shi Zhicong finally declined again and again, and fell to the end, completely hiding into the deepest part of the palace. From this day on, not only the ministers of the two governments could enter and exit the palace at will, but even the ministers of the two systems could go to the Neidong Gate to greet each other every day. The officials, regardless of their size, could also enter and exit once every 5 days!

The palace was completely opened and became the highest-end vegetable market in the Song Dynasty...

On the 11th, the general amnesty of the world. The rumor about the emperor's illness was as fast as the wind, and it blew throughout the entire Song Dynasty in an instant. Of course, the former prime minister, Jia Changchao, the left-behind Beijing Daming Prefecture: Is this very lively? How can I be missing me! No matter what, this is a good opportunity made in heaven and earth, tailor-made for me, and you must not miss it!

A few days later, the ministers of the two prefectures were gathering in the palace to talk about things, and suddenly two people broke in. It was said that the world was great and the magistrate was the greatest, but no one dared to underestimate these two people because they represented the heaven.

The Sitianguan of the Song Dynasty! At this time, they broke in and said, "The country should not pass through the river in the north, causing the holy body to be uneasy." The river refers to the Liuta River, which is north of Kaifeng. The Sitianguan said that we have accurately calculated Feng Shui. It was you who dug randomly that the emperor was sick!

A network of relationships flashed in Master Wen's mind: Liuta River - Water Control - Jia Changchao - Daming Mansion - Si Tianguan - The emperor was sick. Wen Yanbo accurately picked up the hostile elements from thousands of points: Jia Changchao's thieves are unsatisfied! He wanted to take advantage of the emperor's chance of getting sick to destroy the Liuta River plan!

After analyzing the reasons, Wen Yanbo chose to remain silent. Since the real danger was not yet upon us, these two Si Tianguan suddenly shouted, like threats are not threats, like accusations are not like accusations. What is the real purpose?

A few days later, the answer was revealed. The two of them broke in again. This time, not only reiterated that Liutahe must stop work, but also submitted a solution - asking the queen to obey the government. This is the only correct solution to the current state! Immediately afterwards, the eunuch Shi Zhicong appeared. The eunuch, who had been covered in dust since the Spring Festival, became radiant. He brought a written document from the harem and ordered all the ministers to leave, get out of the inner courtyard of the palace, and restore the national system!

To be honest, in the feudal era in China, although patriarchal power was paramount, the emperor could abolish the empress. But compared to the ministers, the empress was still extremely sacred! All the ministers were just her retainers!

From this we can infer that Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others broke into the palace without the permission of Queen Cao, and refused to leave, and acted as a mighty man and scolded the eunuchs. These are all evil sins! Now, using written words to tell them to get out, which is a very gentle and even cowardly manifestation.

Then what did the prime ministers react? Fu Bi was not clear, Wen Yanbo was still very calm. After listening to Si Tianguan's speech quietly, he sent them back to listen first. After taking the documents handed over by Shi Zhicong, he looked carefully, and then he showed a happy expression on his face, and nodded slowly, as if he was encouraged, and as if he was relieved. He also asked eunuch Shi to avoid it temporarily as he had never seen before.
