The Dispute of Pu Yi (Part 2)
After this series of actions were done, there were basically no censors in the Song Dynasty. During the Renzong Dynasty, the Censors often maintained at about 0 people, and more than 10 people were reduced in the later period. Now the eldest son died of illness and no one took over. There were originally 5 censors under him. Except for the ones who were on the Liao Kingdom, only ones survived.
The Zhijianyuan was even more miserable. The eldest Sima Guang left and no one took over. He used to have only one official under his command, but now he was sent to the Great Khitan as an envoy. The great Song Dynasty Zhijianyuan was in name only.
In the entire censorship department, only individuals were left: Lu Hui, Fan Chunren, and Lu Dafang.
This man was a famous big shot in the future, but at this time he was just a little fuck in the officialdom. He was a censor who could impeach the prime minister in name, but in fact he had no qualifications and had no weight in speaking...
A censor, led by Lu Hui, submitted a memorial request to increase the number of censors on October 17. So on the 19th, Shao Bi was appointed as the leader of the Censorate. At the end of the month, Peng Siyong was appointed as the leader of the Censorate.
On January 9, Yelu Renxian was excluded from the court by Yelu Yixin, and was appointed as the king of Jin.
At the end of this year, Lu Hui seized another opportunity: the Winter Solstice Grand Court Meeting. He asked in public to convene the two governments again, and the two-system ministers discussed the title of King Pu. He also pointed the finger directly at the Prime Minister Han Qi. Lu Hui summarized Han Qi's actions since he took office and finally summarized them into a comparison. "Looking at Han Qi's talent, he is not as good as Huo Guang, Li Deyu, Ding Wei, Cao, and his arrogant look is better than him."
The four names listed above are all characters who have deposed the emperor, bullied the queen mother, persecuted colleagues in various dynasties, and bothered by humans and gods. Han Qi's contribution is far less than that of them, but he hates it much more than he does! Lu Hui suggested that Han Qi be removed from the position of prime minister and demoted him from the capital to become an official in another place!
The impeachment memorial was handed over, and it was once again sank to the sea...
On January 18, the Emperor Daozong of Liao changed the name of the Great Khitan Kingdom of Liao Shengzong Yelu Hongji, who was the Emperor Shengzong of Liao, to the Great Liao Dynasty.
Lu Hui, Fan Chunren, and Lu Dawei's censor finally did an earth-shaking event! They jointly impeached all the prime minister and listed the mistakes of every big boss in the Secretariat:
Ouyang Xiu "firstly opened up evil arguments, citing sutras, pleasing the ruler with a false way, and betraying the former emperor with immediate benefits. He wanted to accumulate King Pu to give a false name, and would capture Your Majesty's ridicule for the wrong prosecution... The political code is unforgivable, and the human and gods are abandoned by each other."
Han Qi "I didn't think deeply about it at first, but I wanted to pretend to be wrong, but I answered the truth. I saved the evil and suppressed the public's discussion."
As for Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Jiao? Their charges are inaction. In short, this group of priests are "wolves are in the way, and evil people are in the court" and should be dismissed! A tyrant like Ouyang Xiu should be thrown into prison and dealt with seriously!
Faced with such accusations, no one could remain silent anymore. Lu Yijian and even Ding Wei, who had ever received the title of "Jackal"? How could Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu bear it? They fought back at the first time and got into a squabble with the censors...
Putting aside the quarrels in the officialdom in the Song Dynasty, we will discuss the ultimate problem: the ministers have reached this point, and no one agrees with Zhao Yunrang's identity as the "imperial examination" except for the three or five masters. Why is Song Yingzong Zhao Shu still so stubborn and never give up until he achieves his goal? This cannot be explained by nonsense such as "fighting for the status of a biological father" and "what is wrong to talk about filial piety". Zhao Shu's stubbornness has a different reason. It is a matter of thought that the father and son have been buried deep in their hearts and dare not speak out to outsiders. The deeper and deeper, the more painful it is!
Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Shu have one thing in common, and we all know Zhao Shu's life experience. Because Renzong had no son, he entered the palace when he was young and was raised as a prince. This left an indelible trace when he was in the growth stage of his heart - I was once the heir to the throne! As long as nothing unexpected happens, this beautiful country in the world will be mine in the future! He waited, and it was indeed no surprise that Renzong's biological son died... But his father Zhao Yunrang is not as lucky as him. Zhao Yunrang is actually a copy of Zhao Shu's fate, and the two were exactly the same at the beginning!
Before Renzong was born, Zhao Yunrang entered the palace as a prince and was fostered by Emperor Zhenzong of Song at that time. However, it shouldn't be true. Liu E actually gave birth to a biological son for Emperor Zhenzong with a palace maid "Cat Fresh Cat"!
The dream failed, what a big blow! Later, such a tragedy almost happened to Zhao Shu! Concubine Zhang was determined to give birth to a prince for Renzong, so how could he keep Zhao Shu's misfortune by his side and drive him out! For more than a decade, Zhao Yun allowed his father and son to live in eager expectations and great loss...
The birth of every prince is their disaster, and the death of every prince becomes their festival. History cannot record their specific performance, but Zhao Shu's refusal when he was officially elected as a prince and his escape on the day of his ascension proves how much he cares!
At the beginning, we confused him why he thought being a prince was a disaster? The escape on the day of ascension was a fool? The strong voice-over expressed Zhao Shu's mood: Oh my God, is this true? Really dead? Zhao Zhen, you are finally dead? Father, did you see it in the Spirit of Heaven? I am the emperor! I am the emperor... I salivated...
Thinking back to his shouting and walking in front of Renzong's spirit, he ran around and fro: Zhao Zhen, you have today too! If you have the abduction, you get up and see: I am right in front of you, I am the emperor! What can you do with me? Dad, your wish for many years has finally been fulfilled, and your opponent is still dead!
It wasn't just a ill mental disorder, but he was so happy that he was a little too excited. It was similar to the fact that a pauper suddenly won a super lottery of 5 million...
Only by understanding this kind of mental dynamic can we understand why this happens? Why do a royal child who has been polite and shameless every day and has been talking about for 0 years become a complete bitch?
At this time, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was quarreling and the situation was impossible to deal with, and suddenly a decisive blow came, bringing the "Puyi dispute" to an end, the most important event of the Yingzong Dynasty.
On January 1, the Empress Dowager issued an order: King Pu'an Yi, Mrs. Qiao Zhou, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xiangguo, and Mrs. Ren, the Jun of Xianyou County, could be ordered to be the emperor. King Pu'an Yi was called the emperor. Wang, Han, and Ren were also called the queen.
A bolt from the blue! Who would have thought that Empress Dowager Cao, who had had a fuss with the emperor not long ago, would give such an order! She promoted Zhao Yunrang to the same status as her dead husband? This is so abnormal! But no matter how surprised she was, the words were clearly written in black and white. Zhao Yunrang was not only the father of Song Yingzong, but also received the legitimate title of emperor, and was on par with Renzong Zhao Zhen!
Kaifeng City was in full bloom that day! Except for five or six people like Zhao Shu, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu, everyone was scolding the streets! There must be something tricky here! Those who are more angry will directly point the finger at Empress Dowager Cao: You old lady, what are you sorry for Renzong? He actually sold his husband to ask for it at the critical moment... No, what are you asking for? I can't figure it out, this woman must be crazy!
On the same day, Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Shu, remained unprecedentedly sober. On the same day, he used the donkey to "promise" Empress Dowager Cao's order, and also humbly gave up some rights and interests. He issued an edict to "receive a ritual to be a relative, follow the charity and etiquette. It is not easy to be punished." He did not accept the order that his father Zhao Yunrang was called emperor and the three wives were called after he was called, but he retained the tribute. It looked very appropriate, but he also made other small moves. He upgraded Zhao Yunrang's tomb to a cemetery and then built a temple with the garden. Considering that the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were all descendants of Zhao Shu, they have been sacrificed all year round since then, and the specifications of the emperor were exactly the same as the emperor!
Zhao Shu finally got what he wanted, but he didn't know that he would not do it unless he did it! Within two days, the whole scenes passed by Lu Hui, and wrote it into a document, and went all out in a broad daylight!
As usual, there is still a version of the official history and the truth. Let’s look at the official history first: On January 1, 1066, officials from the Secretariat Province reported their work to Zhao Shu in the Chuigong Hall, and the specifications were very grand. Because Prime Minister Han Qi was worshiping the temple at that time, he specially called him back. All the prime ministers arrived, and Ouyang Xiu, the deputy governor, wrote an edict and handed it to Zhao Shu. The other was sent back to the Chuigong Hall by an eunuch, with Empress Dowager Cao's signing on it!
Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others looked at each other and laughed. The edict of appointing Zhao Yun to make the husband and wife the emperor and the queen was obtained in this way! This is the official history record. It omitted the most important link: how Empress Dowager Cao signed and copied, without mentioning a single word!
Next, through Lu Hui's official documents, we can know the truth: it was the day before the incident. On the 0th day, Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Shu held a banquet at Tianzhang Pavilion to entertain the ministers and enjoy the peach blossoms. At that time, the emperor and the prime minister took turns to drink. The eunuch Su Lishe, Gao Ju, and encouraged him to entertain him. Empress Dowager Cao was happy to drink a few more glasses. In a dim eyes, Zhao Shu walked to her bed, held an edict and asked her to sign the entrust. She was really drunk! She didn't read the contents of the edict, so she painted the entrust! From beginning to end, she didn't know what she had done! How could she think of the dignified emperor, prime minister, and prime minister who would use such despicable tricks to deceive her a widow!
This is the ultimate reason why Zhao Shu is a bitch! You can kill, steal, rob, or even become an unforgivable murderous demon king. Although those are hateful, they are not despised. Because it is a masculine crime. I did it, what should I do? But a scum like Zhao Shu hides in the shadows, wanting to do it but not daring, and not doing it but feeling uncomfortable. He has to admire the underground soft knife. The most hateful thing is his actions behind him!
Facing Lu Hui's behavior of making things public and making them public, Zhao Shu was scared. He was not afraid that his father's imperial examination status would be controversial again, but that he was afraid of the reputation in later history books. After all, he thought of destroying the corpse and destruction. After all, he was the emperor, and 7**** 5 days later issued an order: The dispute between Puyi ended here! This matter has been decided!
Next, what he thought of was to appease the censors first. After the order of Empress Dowager Cao came into effect, he immediately returned the imperial edict from the censor and went home to protest. Zhao Shu hurriedly sent someone to return the imperial edict and asked them to come back to work. People said it was OK to come back, but the evil arguments must be abolished. Ouyang Xiu and others must do the law, "I have no right to be in harmony with the repair, and I will not be demoted, and I will never take office."
It was obvious that he had no match for the magistrate group. But what Zhao Shu had to do was to settle these two aspects, so he called Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, and the three of them had a secret interview. The core question was just one sentence: "My dear friends, the censor would rather die than bow his head, what should you do?"
Han Qi's answer was only one sentence, "I am loyal or evil, Your Majesty will know." Through this sentence, Han Qi finally expressed his anger. What? He wanted to kill the donkey after removing the mill, and he wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing the river? Now you get everything you want, and you just want to save the influence and follow the censor to ruin us? There is no door!
Ouyang Xiu was a talented man and spoke much more gently. "The censor thought it was difficult to establish the principles? That's easy to deal with! If the ministers are guilty, they will be kept by the censor. If Your Majesty thinks that the ministers are innocent, they will be awarded the imperial edict." What should I do if I get the imperial edict? Nonsense! Exit the censor!
Now, Zhao Shu finally understood what the emperor was doing. In name, he held the universe and overturned the world, and was as omnipotent as a god. In fact, he was more controlled by power than a civilian. Without power, he would have no support and lost everything! For this reason, Zhao Shu could only order Lu Hui and others to be demoted from the capital. But he knew that the three of them were innocent, so he told Ouyang Xiu not to be too serious about it.
Ouyang Xiu didn't hear it! Zhao Shu's war had been won, and the battle between him and Han Qi had just begun! He must completely defeat the censors, otherwise they would be the ones who were unlucky! But how easy? The government of the Zhao Song Dynasty was linked together, and each link was restricted by each other. Specifically, the removal of the censors required the cooperation of the two systems. The Song Dynasty system stipulates that the removal of censors was the same as the prime ministers of the two governments, and both had to have the edicts of the edicts. Once the edicts used the power to return the title to the edicts, the exile of the censors would not be established!
So Ouyang Xiu made a "very excessive" thing. On the same day, he walked out of the palace and wrote an edict in the Secretariat to demote the censor from the capital. He passed the two-system official and sent people directly to the homes of Lu Hui, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang. He was gambling, and what he bet on was the arrogance of the censors. If Lu Hui and others pulled their faces down and refused to leave, they would definitely lose if they had a clear understanding of him. But in that case, the arrogant and honest censors would be covered with dust. They were nostalgic and relied on their official positions in the capital for personal enjoyment.
In the end, Ouyang Xiu won the bet, and the censor cherished his reputation very much. He didn't talk nonsense to him and quietly left the capital. But this was just winning the first half, and Ouyang Xiu still didn't dare to rest assured: there were three other censors who did not come back and were envoys in the Daliao!
