Failure to manage the river
When a crisis is approaching, how to resolve it? Ordinary people can see where the crisis is and then come up with a way to protect themselves, it is quite amazing. But Lord Wen is not like this. He has a unique trick that can make all his enemies do their jobs for him.
At first, he made a small move, which was the mistake Shi Zhicong made. Eunuch Shi finally lost the faces of his seniors in the Han and Tang dynasties, but he really couldn't blame him. After all, he was not a talented person who struggled and grew up in a cruel struggle environment. He was immersed in the optimistic prospects, and did not notice that Wen Yanbo expressed his appreciation while putting the documents in his arms!
Such a major decision was not announced on the spot with other ministers! Let alone discuss and implement it!
After the two groups of people left in batches, Wen Yanbo's counterattack immediately started. He quickly summoned the two Sitian officials to meet. After meeting, he shouted in a scattered manner, "I have something to say today."
"Yes" the two of them are still so tough.
Wen Yanbo was furious, "Astronomical changes, this is your duty, you can talk about it. But do you have the right to interfere in national affairs? You should be killed if you commit crimes."
The two Si Tianguans were in a cold sweat at that time. They didn't know what they were doing. They had the right to speak, but they had no right to give orders. At this time, the prime minister was angry and if they really wanted to kill them, no one could save them unless they were Empress Cao. But let the queen plead for them... This dream is unrealistic!
Then, Wen Yanbo took out the documents and handed them over to other ministers for circulating them. The documents were like viruses. Whoever saw them trembled, and their faces turned blue. Suddenly, they yelled collectively, "I dare to speak out, why not kill them." These are old bureaucrats who have been trained in the officialdom for decades, and they instantly understood the crisis index. The moment of life and death comes, you must not be ruthless!
But Wen Yanbo opposed it. His words calmed down all his colleagues. "If you kill these two people, you will be uneasy in the official position." Be careful that His Majesty the Queen will be crazy!
Everyone immediately understood that they were ignoring the empress’s authority when they entered the palace. Then they killed the person who proposed that the empress follow the rule. Do they really force Queen Cao to be incompatible with them?
But the problem is that now we are incompatible, and the reason why we are still calm is that Empress Cao is so virtuous and has never been angry once in her life. What should we do now? What should we do if the situation does not continue to deteriorate and Empress Cao continue to calm down?
The ministers thought hard, but Wen Yanbo turned his face and suddenly showed charming smiles to the two Si Tianguans: What should I do, do you know?
The two Si Tianguan suddenly felt chills and regretted it so much that they wanted to cry. They didn’t know anything else, but they still knew that their heads were about to move. I really hope that time could go back and play with political speculation. Living honestly is better than anything else!
If you don’t want to die, you have to be obedient! Wen Yanbo pointed out a way for them, but he still used their strengths to go to the Liutahe construction site and must "well" calculations. Is this project related to the emperor's illness?
All fools knew the results of the investigation. The two left Beijing overnight to rush to the scene. After careful investigation and precise calculation, they found a fundamental mistake. The previous inference was wrong! Because the Liuta River is located in the northeast, not the north, it has nothing to do with the emperor's illness!
Then good luck came. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor suddenly fainted on the first day of the first lunar month. He suddenly became clear-headed and could meet people at work. Although he still couldn't speak, he just nodded to the minister's report. But in this way, the situation had completely reversed! Empress Cao had no reason to go to the front stage. And Jia Changchao and Shi Zhicong's plan completely miscarried!
On February 12, an edict was issued: officials of two or more systems greeted the inner east gate. As for the officials entering and leaving the palace, they would be dismissed. On the 22nd, the emperor became sober and summoned the ministers in Yanhe Hall. On the 24th, the officials submitted a congratulations. At the same time, the projects on the Liuta River were implemented in full swing, and finally the day of the steep construction. The Liuta River construction means that the Shanghu, which broke the dike nearly 8 years ago, could finally close it.
On April 1, Shanghukou successfully closed, and the rushing and raging Yellow River finally became docile, and the flood was separated by the Liuta River, thousands of miles away. Seeing that the thousand-year disaster was solved, water control personnel such as Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Li Zhongchang finally succeeded...
Stop! It only took a few hours to succeed! After a few hours, the water of the Yellow River surged! It was estimated that the migrant workers and soldiers at Shanghukou had not all retreated from the embankment and collapsed again! The country's discussions over the past 8 years, six months of construction, millions of knots of money, and tens of millions of lives were instantly swallowed by the flood!
Ouyang Xiu made the answer! Liuta River is too small, and it was fine at the beginning, but as soon as the Shanghu mouth closes and the water flow suddenly increases, it will almost immediately not be able to support it! The rolling flood rewinds back to the upper reaches, causing the tragedy of Shanghu breaking the dike again!
A catastrophe! A catastrophe that cannot be saved at all! The Song Dynasty authorities completely gave up this time and let it go, allowing the flood to flow as it wants... From then on, the Yellow River broke the dam more than once, restored its state when it was unmanned in ancient times, followed the geographical landscape, and used its own strength to complete the work of finding a way to the sea again...
Four years later, the Yellow River broke the dike near Daming Prefecture, and finally divided the Yellow River eastward into a tributary. In this way, the Yellow River changed during the Northern Song Dynasty and became a two-gua river. After the downstream, it formed the north road and two parallel and parallel Yellow Rivers. This is like the joke between God and the Song people: what you want, it is given to the old man! The Liuta River cannot reduce the water, so the Yellow River (flowing eastward) will be reduced! But in fact, this flowing eastward is an old road from the Qin and Han Dynasties before the last major Yellow River diversion (far away from the Wangmang period), and the Qin and Han dynasties changed. The dynasties have long been abandoned, and the harm has even worse! This kicked off the prelude of the major diversion of the Yellow River during the Song Dynasty (between the two Song junctions and the Jin Zhangzong period, each of which was selected for 8 major catastrophe levels)
When they returned to Kaifeng City, they encountered such a big disaster. The Censorate and the Censorate jointly wrote a letter asking for severe punishment of the dereliction of duty in the water!
Who should I treat? Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were both depressed and tried their best to offend the Queen of Da Nei, but what happened? He actually got this ground! At this time, Lord Wen came forward and used two major political tricks that can be used from ancient times to the present, from ancient times to the present, from China to abroad! Once these two tricks were used, they never failed!
The first trick: Never admit your mistakes! Just open the history of various countries of mankind. Every big figure who is so famous never said what he has done. This is reflected in Wen Yanbo, and no one has made any mistakes! What? Do you really want to pursue it? Well... I will show you the official documents. The Liutahe Plan was personally approved by the emperor's emperor! We are all servants, do you want to pursue it even if the emperor is involved?
If you check the information, you will see the punishment decision of the person directly responsible for the accident. Take Li Zhongchang and the eunuch Zhang Huaien as an example. Li Zhongchang was originally the chief of the hall and was "reduced" to the chief of the Dali Temple. Zhang Huaien was originally the deputy envoy of the preparatory warehouse and was "reduced" to the inland government. It was almost the same as no punishment!
Even if this page is revealed, the really powerful move is the second move! The first move makes people dare not speak out, and the second move makes people feel energetic, forget their anger with interest, and get together with the ministers again. That is the legendary invincible move - divert your sight!
This move is not something that everyone can use, but it is powerful, so it is extremely difficult. Users must accurately judge what the air smells in the surrounding space and what opportunities are there for the public to take advantage of. Only by finding gaps and achieving their own personal goals... This is not counting. People who can successfully use this move in history must be super lucky at that time. Because there are not many things that can divert the public's attention, they all belong to the nature of being able to encounter and hard to find. If you can find it, you must not only be willing, but also have the fate!
Wen Yanbo is the one who has both aspirations and a fate. At this time, there were two major events that could be greater than the Yellow River diversion and divert everyone's attention: 1 There was a problem with the emperor's health, and no one could guarantee that he would live long live long, but now the empire has no successor! 2 Wen Yanbo found someone who was more disgusted by the civil servant group at this time than him! This person had already made all the literati of the Song Dynasty hate for nearly 4 years - Di Qing, the leader of the Western Palace at that time, at that time, the Privy Councilor!
Emperor Renzong was 47 years old at this time. He had given birth to three princes, but all died at a young age. It was great! Wen Yanbo successfully diverted everyone's attention: Dear colleagues, let's work together to do a real big thing! If anyone hesitates, please despise him because he forgot the farce that caused a sensation in Kaifeng City back then!
It was April 1050. The only major event of the same period was the mobilization of the entire society, and the uncle Zhang Yaozuo, was about to fight under the leadership of Bao Zheng and others, two people suddenly came in front of the palace gate: an ordinary young man and a monk, and the accent was still from Jiangxi...
On that day, the two of them walked directly into the palace. The pose was like the palace was their home. They came whenever they wanted and entered whenever they wanted. You can imagine how disappointed the guards on that day had to "do what they did" the guards asked.
The young man looked up and ignored him with a arrogant expression. The monk said solemnly and sacredly, "Don't be rude, this is the dragon seed of the saint and the prince."
A bolt from the blue! The prince descended to earth! The guards' expressions were like swallowing more than 200 flies alive. Two lunatics, get out of here! They drove these two people away without saying anything.
After this monk and a young man were driven out of the palace, he headed straight to the streets of Kaifeng, stood in the most crowded place, and started his speech. Because the content was so popular, the crowd immediately rushed, surrounding them. According to the monk, the young man's mother, Wang, was a palace maid in the palace more than 20 years ago. All mankind knows that the fate of the girl is uncertain, it depends on who she married or who likes her. This is the legendary palace maid. She was "liked" by the current emperor Song Renzong. Later, for reasons such as this or that inconvenience, she was driven out of the palace gate and wandered to the people. But please note: she had the flesh and blood of Renzong at that time! That is, the young man standing in front of you now! He is the crown prince whom all the subjects of the Song Dynasty have been looking forward to for n years!
The monk's speech ended, and the people around him were stunned. Real...fake? But this is not important, what is important is the sensational effect! The play of the prince's recollection of his life on the street spread throughout Kaifeng City in an instant! Naturally, it also spread into the ears of Qian Mingyi, the prefect of Kaifeng at that time. What's so great? I'll catch the person back immediately! The evil words confuse the public and pretend to be the prince!
But after the person was arrested, he kept saying nothing. His highness, the "Crown Prince" with a cold expression suddenly stared at him and said proudly, "Ming Yi can't afford it." Lord Qian was stunned when he heard this. Ming Yi... He really has the style of a crown prince! Involuntarily, Lord Qian really stood up! After standing up, he slowly changed his mindset. Historical books did not continue to explain what he found, but only gave the final judgment: His Highness, the "Crown Prince" was imposed on Ruzhou! Note that this is a very low punishment, which means that he did not completely deny the identity of the crown prince! Otherwise, it would be a crime of great rebellion and would definitely be killed!
But this incident was very popular. There are many new versions of the legend about Emperor Renzong's illegitimate son in the capital. Finally, the emperor himself knew it. Renzong was still very sober at that time. He thought about it and thought that it was a bit too long since he had a palace maid over 20 years ago, so he couldn't figure it out! So the problem was handed over to a legendary figure: Lord Bao Zheng, the Zhijianyuan, took action!
All Chinese people know that Bao Zheng's case handling efforts are unprecedentedly powerful! In a few days, the matter came to light (this should be another example of the "Cat Fighting Prince" case, so the case involves Lord Bao Zheng. This young man named Leng, Leng Qing, a native of Kaifeng. His mother did serve in the palace and married a doctor named Leng Xu after leaving the palace. Mr. and his daughter were the second child. Leng Qing was disagreeing with his family and ran to the neighborhood of Lushan, Jiangxi to talk nonsense, destroying his biological mother's innocence, and got involved with the emperor. As for the monk, he was the first onlooker who did not know the truth and was excited...
The case was clear and Leng Qing was beheaded. The mood of the subjects of the Song Dynasty was very complicated. To be honest, they might hope that this matter was true. A healthy and adult crown prince appeared out of thin air, which was the biggest surprise of the empire. Who cares whether he was born by a Ming media? An example is that the life experience of the current Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen is quite tortuous? Looking at the history of the Song Dynasty, the crown prince who appeared in an open world is real. History proves that as long as the name is reasonable, everything is possible!
Back to the original title, after the fake prince took to the streets, the matter of establishing the real prince was put on the agenda. This is one of the few things that civil servants can do. Almost everyone tried their best to use their own tricks to convince the emperor and achieve the success of this "most important event in the empire"! The process is very exciting, and several great celebrities in Chinese history revealed their true true nature...
