Zhao Shu's Nonsense
Facts proved that Lu Xian did a good job in Huairou. Because historical records say that "Jiazhi was afraid, he sent envoys to pay tribute and his remarks were more respectful."
Next, Mr. Zhao Shu, who has become as he pleased, has no one in the court and the country can stop him from doing some very wonderful things:
He was like playing, taking the top national official titles as toys. Wang Chou, a Hanlin bachelor, had no need to say that his literary talent reached this position. Wang Chou was very eloquent. One night, he and Zhao Shu started chatting by chance, but they didn't expect that they were very speculative.
Zhao Shu was very happy. On January 15 a few days later, Wang Chou suddenly appointed him as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. Generally speaking, the Hanlin Bachelor is a two-system official. It is logical to enter two government officials from two systems. It is no problem... But when it comes to Wang Chou, there is a big problem.
The Song Dynasty had rules that no matter who served as the prime minister of the two governments, he must have the experience of being a governor or above in other places. First, this will give the candidates to have the experience of independently handling affairs. Second, it will prevent those old official foxes who always rely on the capital to enjoy their happiness and have a certain level of qualifications to sneak into the supreme authority.
This Wang Hanlin is an authentic old official. He has not left Kaifeng City for five years since he passed the imperial examination and lived in a paradise on earth. How could he know the difficulties of governing and the suffering of the people?
Seeing that something went wrong, fortunately, Qian Gongfu, who was on duty to write the edict on that day, was a wise man. Zhizhuan was a two-system official and had the power to "return the lyrics" and was an appointment that had not taken effect. Only after the two-system official wrote a regular edict on the lyrics was written, the appointment would take effect. Once the two-system official felt that the appointment was inappropriate, he had the right to return the lyrics, refuse to write the edict, and terminate the appointment procedure! This was a very open and wise policy of the Song Dynasty government. It was to restrict the imperial power and prevent abuse. Specifically, it was to prevent Zhao Shu's behavior like two-core. However, the reason was that the two-core official had a head with a few strings.
Zhao Shu was actually crazy! He didn't think about the countless words that were repaid in more than 100 years before him. Basically, this is the two-system official working hard and responsible to him as the emperor. But his belief is that this is the first time he has appointed officials from both governments since he took power, and he was rejected. He is really shameless!
On the 16th, he ordered Qian Gongfu to be demoted, and not to be a magistrate of imperial edicts, and to go to Chuzhou to be the deputy envoy of the tuary training. Unexpectedly, after this, he was granted the title of imperial edicts, Wu Ze, to be repaid by another magistrate of imperial edicts. The punishment was too heavy and it was not in accordance with the rules at all!
Zhao Shu was almost mad. He felt that he was seriously despised by the ministers. In order to restore the influence and enhance his prestige, he decided to demote Zu Wuze to the official position and go away!
Unfortunately, this order was not realized. His dear Prime Minister Han Qi rushed over and told him quietly: It would be irrelevant to do this, and the emperor was not like this!
Zhao Shu calmed down a little. After all, Han Qi was the one he trusted the most. But he had to be punished! On the 17th, Qian Gongfu was deemed to be demoted to another place. Zu Wuze... He continued to be the imperial edict and fined 0 kilograms of copper. This matter came to an end. Through this matter, the ministers felt a little bit about Zhao Shu. I think he was a person with greater emotions than reason?
That's easy to deal with. Just take a few days to slow down and the anger will be easy to deal with. A few days later, Lu Shizong, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, thought the time was ripe. That day, he went to the palace to report to the Criminal Court and found that the emperor was in a very good mood. So he tactfully put forward everyone's opinion on Qian Gongfu being demoted to another place: It's really a bit too heavy, are you going to reconsider?
Zhao Shu looked at him and said nothing that day. Qian Gongfu was still demoted. A year later, Lu Shizong was demoted to Guangde Army...
It's amazing that such a messy thing has never been forgotten after a year...
On January 1, 1065, Yelu Jun, who was born for more than 6 years, was the most genius child in the history of the Great Khitan. Yelu Jun was appointed as the crown prince. Yelu Jun's civil and military versatility, heroic and elegant... All of this made Yelu Yixin, the most treacherous minister of the Great Liao Dynasty, panic...
In fact, Qian Gongfu and Lu Shizongji were very lucky. Someone basically did nothing, but was demoted from the capital and went to Hangzhou to become a local official: a famous minister in Qingli and a talented man Cai Xiang.
Cai Xiang was the Sansi Commissioner at that time. His style was very gentle. Except for the poem "Four Sages and One Unfilial" in his early years, he basically did not show any signs of dew. He was the kind of good comrade who did things silently and was a man of duty. But for some reason, Song Yingzong hated him extremely since he ascended the throne, and he had to beat him every few days...
One time, Cai Xiang took a day off, and what's the big deal about taking a day off? But Zhao Shuhuo was so angry that he was angry on the spot: The three departments were in charge of the world's money and grain, and there were many affairs. Cai Xiang had taken four leaves in the past ten days, so why not use others? The consequence of taking a leave was that he lost his official position and dismissed... Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly came over. Cai Xiang was their old friend, so he had to protect whatever he said?
Han Qi said: The three departments have made no mistakes in their work in recent years and have been dismissed from office. Besides, they have to find someone who is better than Cai Xiang at this time, and there is no one to choose... Zhao Shu still tightened his face and didn't even give Han Qi a face.
Ouyang Xiu chose to move him with affection and said that Cai Xiang asked for leave to fulfill his filial piety. His mother was in her 80s and had many illnesses recently, so he could not take care of her. Moreover, Cai Xiang only asked for leave for court, did not miss her daily life, and did not delay her official duties. Is it really not worth dismissing her?
Zhao Shu barely stopped pursuing it. But the ministers were surprised to find that attacking Cai Xiang became the emperor's main job. From that time on, the emperor would pay attention to the work of the lower three departments from time to time, and look for trouble in different ways. In short, Cai Xiang must be driven off the stage!
The situation is serious, and several old Qingli partners gathered together in private and asked: Cai Xiang, what did you do, provoking the emperor like this? Cai Xiang tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember: I'm really wrong! Why did you provoke the emperor for nothing?
Finally, I decided to let Han Qi come forward to find out the reason. After that, I saw Han Qi come back with a very ugly face. I carefully identified it. It was not a difficult worry, but a scare...
It turned out that it involved a secret incident involving Zhao Shu when he was still the crown prince. It is said that after choosing Zhao Shu, Renzong cried alone in the middle of the night. He remembered his biological son who died early. How could he not be sad? At this time, the close eunuchs appeared like Ren Shouzhong and others. They complained that Renzong was too hasty to establish the crown prince and could choose it calmly. Zhao Shu was not ideal...
Among them are also "one or two well-known" close ministers, and these people also wrote some memorials, all about the establishment of the crown prince. Fortunately, these memorials have always been placed in Renzong's bed, and they were all burned shortly after Zhao Shu ascended the throne. But no one is sure whether Zhao Shu had read it? What is especially uncertain is who the "one or two well-known" close ministers are!
Judging from Han Qi's expression, everyone knows the seriousness of the problem. In fact, Han Qi has a heart disease. He had other thoughts and wrote such memorials at the beginning! But the most terrifying situation now is that Zhao Shu has never seen it with his own eyes, but he knows that there is such a thing! This is the most deadly! If you suspect someone, you will be in trouble, and you can't explain it yet!
But I can't let it go? After thinking about it, the bosses thought about it and decided to make it clear to the emperor. This is not just Cai Xiang's business, and maybe everyone will be in trouble!
One day they entered the palace together, and Han Qi boldly asked: Does the emperor know that something is happening? Is this related to Cai Xiang?
Zhao Shu immediately became energetic and said: Although he had never seen any words, he had heard of them when he was in Qingning Palace (his bedroom when he was the crown prince). It was written by Cai Xiang!
Han Qi vented his anger and never saw it with his own eyes... It was Cai Xiang! Good! Very good! First, there is no evidence, second, it is not himself. He carefully persuaded: What happened is ambiguous, and what should be done? You have to find out clearly before you can confirm it. You can't just make a decision based on rumors, right? In that way, there will be villains spread rumors and cause trouble at any time in the future, and serious people can't live!
The second prime minister Zeng Gongliang also added: Kaifeng City is the place with the most gossip, paparazzi cannot defend against it, and all rumors have a market, and most of them are unreliable!
Unfortunately, the emperor clearly didn't believe them. Cai Xiang was the criminal, the mortal enemy who wanted to be the crown prince and now he could not be the emperor!
If you want to say that Ouyang Xiu is the most knowledgeable, he asked from a different perspective: Master, do you think this matter is true? Zhao Shu was even more amazing. He turned the angle back again before answering, "Although you don't see the words, how can you keep it from there?" He did not see the real thing, but he could not guarantee that it would be gone, right?
If Han Qi used rogue politics to squeeze out Fu Bi, Zhao Shu was rogue logic. When the evidence did not exist, it can also be proved that the evidence was not absolutely non-existent!
Ouyang Xiu was a little dizzy, but the talented man who revived the ancient Chinese movement had to write with reason for his life. He only wrote with the idea clearly before he could write. So he calmly persuaded: The emperor, things that have no traces cannot be trusted, but in fact, even if there is real evidence, it cannot be accurate! During the Renzong period, Xia Shu asked the maid to imitate Shi Jie's handwriting to write to Fu Bi, and falsely accused the two of them of conspiring to rebel. A few years ago, someone forged my own memorial and suggested reducing the eunuchs in the palace, which made the eunuchs gritted their teeth when they saw me. These are all examples. So let alone without words, even if there is, there may be other inside stories. Your Majesty, please forget it...
Such persuasion is reasonable and speaking with facts is very good, right? No! Zhao Shu's slut potential is completely stimulated, and his rogue logic has risen to an unprecedented shameless level: it must be Cai Xiang! Otherwise, "Why are the slanderers not as good as others?" According to his logic, all the people in the world who suffer and suffer are self-inflicted, why are you and not others? So: it must be your own reason!
The conversation ended here. Even if the language master reached Ouyang Xiu's point, there was nothing to say. Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and they really had a good experience today. Cai Xiang, you are so lucky, go to work in another place...
On the 11th of the month, Cai Xiang was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou. The person who was replaced was Lu Gongbi, the second son of Lu Yijian. He had served as the Sansi Envoy during the period of time. His first conversation with Zhao Shu talked about why he almost made Master Lu depressed when he chose him this time!
Zhao Shu said: Do you still remember back then? When I was a prince, I thought the horse was not good, so I sent someone to the Sansi to exchange it. You said that as a royal family, you should avoid suspicion, but you just refused to agree. From then on, I have remembered you!
The emperor means: I chose a top minister and only took a look at some small things that were glimpsed and did not evaluate your contribution to the entire official career... The more you think about Lu Gongbi's depressed, is this a compliment or no? It's rumored that others would think that he was a trick, which was a small opportunity many years ago, and he was an opportunist!
In fact, he didn't have to feel so uncomfortable. In comparison, he was quite reasonable. The people Zhao Shu promoted next were fun. For example, Pi Gongbi, the judge of the Sansi Duzhi, was greedy and treacherous, and was a famous corrupt official in Kaifeng. For example, Wang Guangyuan, a direct scholar in Jixian Academy, was recognized by all scholars and officials to seek jobs, regardless of shame... As for why he promoted him? It's very simple, Wang Guangyuan was an aide when Zhao Shu was not a crown prince.
To sum up, it is a mess, but it is easy to pick out the main line. Zhao Shu completely chose the pillars of the empire based on his own likes and dislikes. This is the most unavoidable bad habit for those who are leaders in all eras. He himself is happy, but he is joking about the effective operation of the entire country's management!
