Chapter 1,509 The beauty of future generations

Above the court, the world is almost dominated by conservatives and reformists. The reformists now have only one right prime minister, Han Zhen, and one minister of household affairs, Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu was cited by Zhang Dun to restore the dynasty because of his previous contribution to succeeding Su You in pacifying Ningxia and his service as the third envoy.

In Wuchen, Su Zhe said: "Your Majesty appointed Sima Guang as prime minister, and made Han Zhen join him in the massacre of Gu, and use his ministers to deal with him. In just one year, Zhen's evil plan will be carried out, and the evil party will win. Guang

If you leave without being punished, you will inevitably cause illness and avoid it."

"Last year, when the Northern Envoy came to the court and saw Zhen on the throne, he looked at each other and smiled behind his back. This was because Zhen traveled seven hundred miles away from his ancestors and followed him without any reason."

"I heard that the plot of the Khitan territory was based on Yelu Yongzheng, and I now regard it as the prime minister."

"He opened up the country for 700 miles and used it in an upright manner, while the imperial court kept the country in check for 700 miles. This is why I was so stupid and didn't give instructions."

A sword seals the throat.

In fact, Han Zhen took some of the blame. Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu finally decided to abandon the 700-mile territory after careful consideration and assessment of the situation in Hebei and the enemy situation in Liao at that time.

And Han Zhen was just a negotiator sent by the court at that time.

But Han Zhen should also take the blame for the imperial court. This is politics.

Su Che came up with the idea of ​​impeachment at this time. Han Zhen, who was already asking to retreat, immediately closed the door to accept his guilt.

Ji Chou, the imperial court accepted Han Zhen's resignation, dismissed his right servant She, and learned about Yingchang Mansion as a scholar from Guanwen Palace.

Gao Taotao's attitudes towards Han Zhen and Cai Que are completely different. Although there are many people who criticized Zhen's fault before and after the remonstrance, Gao Taotao refused to retaliate, but there is a difference between Han Zhen's failure to retaliate and Cai Que's failure to retaliate.

.

Gao Taotao also once declared to Sun Jue and Su Zhe: "The ministers who advance and retreat should preserve the national system. Although Han Zhen is not in line with others, he must take the initiative to ask for it and then get out."

Liu Zhi and others' attack became more and more urgent. While Gao Taotao agreed to Han Zhen's resignation, he also went out to approve it and gave it to Shi Zhong: "Zhen thought he was afraid of hindering Xian's path, so he begged to go out. Those who regard Zhen's meritorious service as a prestige and leave, Zhen will get it."

The form of advance and retreat is suitable for expressing this meaning in the word making."

This means that Han Zhen's request to leave is not of the same nature as those who brag about their achievements and seek fame before leaving. The court must state this in the lyrics given to him and give him enough dignity.

The so-called "Jin Gong requires a name" has an obvious meaning, referring to Cai Que and Xing Shu.

After Han Zhen left, the position of Youpushe became vacant. When Sima Guang eliminated Zuo Pushe, he had already recommended Gao Taotao to recruit Wen Yanbo and Su You.

Fan Chunren and Lu Gongzhu also recommended him to the court because of his rich and experienced literary skills.

Wen Yanbo has already become an official, similar to Su You. Now he only enjoys the honorary title of Grand Master, making him the first civil servant.

So Gao Tao Tao ordered Wen Yanbo to go to the palace and ordered Henan Jin to send a commissioner to handle Wen Yanbo's luggage.

At the same time, Yu Zha paid Sima Guang, wishing to get rid of Yanbo, the grand master and attendant, and he was appointed as the right servant to shoot.

Sima Guang reported: "Yan Boguan is the grand master, he is eighty-one years old, and his subordinates are ranked above him. This is not the way to be upright."

Lu Gongzhu also believed that Wen Yanbo's seniority was too high, so it was better to put the old man in Su You's position and prepare for consultation, and then recall Su You and put him between himself and Sima Guang to serve as the right prime minister.

Zhu Guangting also wrote the third chapter, saying: "It is not appropriate for Yan Bo to bother his ministers with official affairs. If he is the right prime minister, then Su You, Lu Gongzhu, Han Wei, and Fan Chunren can do it."

Liu Zhi and Wang met with each other and submitted a letter, also believing that Wen Yanbo was too young to be a high-ranking official after all.

After Su You knew what Sima Guang and the court wanted, he immediately wrote a letter expressing his firm refusal to accept it.

The first reason is because Tai Jian has his own nephew, and Su Che is very good at his job and is fully qualified, so let him finish his job well.

While Su Che was in office, it was difficult for him to stay in the position of Prime Minister.

The second reason is that Wen Yanbo and himself were both students of Long Changqi, and one was already a Grand Master and the other was serving as a Situ. If they were both in the court and held the same actual position, it would inevitably attract criticism from the courtiers.

The third reason is that I really can't get away from it. The school system needs to be established, the curriculum materials need to be revised, teachers and students need to be recruited and settled, and the topics of each college need to be formulated. There are just too many things to do.

Nowadays, the position in the court is very well arranged. Senior Brother is a member of the country, and he is honored to be an official. When he comes out again, he must be thinking about the needs of the country, and it will definitely not be for some powerful position.

The implication is that the old man has become the number one person in the dynasty. What kind of officials have he not held and what kind of achievements have he not received? Does he still care about this?

Otherwise, why would he get up at the first call at the age of eighty-one? Therefore, he would not mind any arrangements made by the Empress Dowager.

Since you don't mind, just don't even give him the right chancellor, and give him Pingzhangjun State Affairs and Standby Counselor. Wen Gong will definitely do his best.

Gao Taotao felt comfortable, and Mingrun had given him a step up, and what he said was very reasonable, so he accepted Su You's request and did not force him to govern, nor did he forcefully arrange government affairs for Wen Yanbo.

Gao Taotao informed Sima Guang of the opinions of several people, and Sima Guang said: "If Yanbo is the Taishi Pingzhang and the military affairs are important, it is enough to respect the old man, and if Su Youjian is the right prime minister, Lu Gongzhu is the best

candidate."

Renyin, the imperial edict: "Wen Yanbo was specially appointed as Grand Master, and he was responsible for Pingzhang's military affairs and important affairs. The minister Lu Gong, who is under the sect, was appointed as Shangshu Youshe and Zhongshu Shilang."

He also issued an edict: "Yan Bo went to the Sutra feast twice in the first month and entered the court on the sixth day, because he went to the capital hall to discuss matters with the ministers. If there were military and state secrets, he would not limit the time and order him to participate in the decision."

The title of Grand Master who was active in the court was no longer an empty title. This honor was rare in the Song Dynasty.

However, on the issue of selecting the Privy Councilor after Zhang Dun left, the conservatives themselves had disagreements.

On Yi Mao, An Tao was informed about the affairs of the Privy Council, and Fan Chunren, the Minister of Civil Service, was also aware of the affairs of the Privy Council.

Wang Yansou expressed his objection to the matter: "An Tao's materials are poor, his knowledge of weapons is unclear, and his old position is no longer occupied. How can he be crowned Hongshu and Zhuan's military leader!"

All paintings drawn in yellow will be turned in. Fan Chunren was ordered to go down after his death."

This means that your method of bundling sales is useless, Empress Dowager. An Tao is not qualified to be a colleague, and the Privy Council can't even think about it.

Therefore, please separate the two things. We agree with Fan Chunren’s appointment, and An Tao’s, hehehe...

Su Che, Sun Jue, and Liu Zhi also successively argued that Tao should not move suddenly.

In fact, An Tao's resume is quite good. He was a prostitute in the Renzong Dynasty, and later worked in the civil service, transportation, punishment, Changping, and diplomacy, and he was quite outstanding.

But I really have never been in the military.

An Tao did not dare to take office under such strong opposition, so he resigned.

Gao Taotao directly ordered Huang to hand the written edict to Wang Yansou and let him act as a second rubber stamp.

Wang Yansou's previous letter was an exercise of his power to return the prefix, and he continued to write perseveringly: "Although your Majesty used Fan Chunren suddenly, why did no one say anything? This is to reward the virtuous.

As soon as he entered Antao, he remonstrated with the officials and the imperial censor handed over articles and memorials, which was not what Gong Wang had given him.

The minister refuted it twice. I heard that there was already an order, and the provincial governor did not send it to me to read it, so I ordered it to be implemented quickly.

The position of a minister can be taken away, but the ambition to be an official cannot be taken away; the body can be forgotten, but the love for the king cannot be forgotten.

Since your majesty has changed your order, you are willing to send official power to Shizhong to protect the lonely ministers."

This means that Your Majesty, it is against the rules for you to go around and issue orders directly. I have this right in my position in the administration. If you want to mess around, you should remove me first.

Geng Shen and Liu Zhi said: "An Tao and Fan Chunren told me not to leave the matter behind, but to pay it directly to the person in charge. Your Majesty has fallen into the constitution, so how can anyone abide by it!"

Gao Taotao's temper is getting worse, so retreat! I'm going to replace you and let Hu Zongyu from Zhongshushe come up!

It should be said that in this incident, after Gao Taotao stabilized his power, he began to intend to expand and reached out a little unruly.

Su You wrote: "Now Wen Yanbo Pingzhang has important military and state affairs. Sima Guang has removed Shangshu Zuopushe and is also the minister's minister. Lu Gongzhu has been appointed as Shangshu right servant and minister of Zhongshu. Fan Chunren knows the affairs of the Privy Council. Wang Shaoju is in charge of military affairs. This is the pattern of the imperial court. Already prepared."

"The rest of the ministers, ministers of the six departments, secretaries of the privy council, and admonitions from the pavilions and offices should hold back the central purpose a little, and send ministers to prepare for the meeting, and select those who are capable and use them, and there will be no loss for the common people.

This will also be a beauty for future generations."

The four words "beauty of future generations" completely scratched Gao Taotao's itch, and now he listened.

In the third month of March, on Bingchen, the officials in charge of Chang Ping and Guan Gou were dismissed. In Xinwei, Li Chang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Li Chang and Sun Jue were classmates, and they were good friends with Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi once asked Li Chang to establish three departments of regulations. It was not unreasonable, but Li Chang refused because of his political differences.

Later, because of the imperial edict to implement the Qingmiao Law, Sun Jue, the right Zhengyan at that time, Lu Gongzu, the censor Zhongcheng, Zhao Pian, Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, and Wang Zishao were dismissed from office and exiled.

Li Chang and Su Shi were very good literary friends, and Su Che was protected by him for more than a year. In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Li Changzhong became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He once wanted to promote Su Shi, but was blocked by Cai Que and Wang Gui.

In addition to Su Shi and Su Che, Li Chang actually had a close relationship with Su You.

When Li Chang was young, he and his younger brother Li Bu studied in the White Stone Monk House under the Wulao Peak in Lushan Mountain. The two brothers have been collecting books tirelessly.

When Li Changfang was thirteen years old, the brothers had already hidden nine thousand volumes!

In the first year of Emperor Renzong's reign, Li Chang won the imperial examination. Afterwards, he donated the nine thousand volumes of books to the local area and transformed the monk's residence into the first private library in the Song Dynasty, called "Baishishanfang".
