Chapter 1538 The Correct Way of the Censor

Judging from the test question, many ministers thought it was okay. The purpose of this question was to express His Majesty's fear.

Because I was afraid of making mistakes in my administration, if I wanted to be lenient, I might not be as good as Renzu Han Wen, if I wanted to be strict, I might not be as good as Shen Kao Han Xuan, so I sought outspoken advice and Mingfa Zu Kao.

Those who keep saying that others are disloyal have even forgotten the basic principle of the separation of Taiwan and Jian that the late emperor repeatedly stated. Do they still have the late emperor in their hearts? Isn't it ridiculous to hear the word "loyalty" from their mouths?

What is the reason why we can read the meaning of disloyalty from a topic that everyone thinks is not problematic? It is because they themselves are disloyal!

Only when an unfaithful person sees something unbiased will he think of infidelity!

The most important thing is that the policy test questions were reviewed by the Empress Dowager beforehand. At that time, Hanlin Chengzhi Deng Wenbo was also the one who proposed the questions. It was the Empress Dowager who selected Su Shi's proposal as the question.

Therefore, Zhu Guangting not only overstepped his duties, but even tarnished the reputation of the Empress Dowager.

I want to impeach Su Shi now, but it's not that his policy was wrong, but that he disrespected his colleagues and ridiculed him wantonly, which caused trouble and disrupted the court's tranquility.

The minister wants to impeach Zhu Guangting, who has overstepped his position and attached himself to his friends, used words to frame his peers, is disloyal to the late emperor, and disrespectful of the system.

However, Zhu Guangting was not the censor, so he could not be accused of improper criticism of people by the censor. He could only be impeached for the crime of overstepping his authority and disrupting the system.

I also want to impeach Fu Yaoyu, the censor, and Wang Yansou, the censor.

It is a crime to be in Wutai, unaware of the rules and regulations, to have a bare meal in the corpse position, and to be indifferent to those who have exceeded their duties.

To follow the wind, to be easily deceived, to have humble knowledge, and to agree with Zhu Guangting is the second crime.

However, it is their duty to impeach ministers, so their crime does not involve talking about people in the previous chapter.

However, after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, there were regulations. After the censor reviewed the people, it was proven that he was a slanderer and should be punished!

In other words, there is no problem with the two of them impeaching Su Shi, but in the end if it is found that Su Shi did not commit the crimes they impeached, then they should bear the corresponding political consequences.

Su You was dumbfounded when he saw Su Yuanzhen's article. Is this still the same little kid who was startled by my few words in the Erlin Department? He is so ruthless and sophisticated.

First of all, Su Shi's test questions were read by the Empress Dowager and ultimately selected by the Empress Dowager. Therefore, if Su Shi is guilty, then the Empress Dowager is negligent.

However, the Empress Dowager could not be unnoticed, so Su Shi had a natural aura of innocence.

Since Su Shi is not guilty, the impeachment is groundless.

Since the idea is false, then according to the new system, someone will have to bear the consequences.

And because the identities of the subjects who bear the consequences are different, their culpability must also be different.

However, this matter finally came about due to Su Shi's words, so although he was not guilty in planning the issue, it does not mean that he had no fault before.

The system is the system, everything should be in accordance with the system, the attack needs to be precise, no one can escape if they make mistakes, and no one can refute them. This is the real way for the censor to exercise power.

Be impartial and discuss matters as they arise.

Wushen, Gao Taotao made a conclusion: "A detailed look at the meaning of the text refers to the fact that today hundreds of officials have supervisors and supervisors to guard orders. It is not a mockery of the ancestors."

The next step is a major blood change in Taijian.

Su Yuanzhen became the imperial censor and was in charge of Wutai; Kong Wenzhong was the left admonishing official and was in charge of the admonishment court; Lu Tao was the left admonishment officer and Liu Anshi was the right Zhengyan.

Fu Yaoyu was appointed as the deputy envoy to Jiuyuan, Wang Yansou was appointed as the deputy envoy to the west of Beijing, Zhu Guangting was demoted to the prefect of Gongzhou, and Jia Yi was demoted to the general magistrate of Huzhou.

Su Shi was imprudent in his words and resigned from his post. He was fined 80 kilograms of copper and promoted to a Hanlin scholar in the Capital University Hall to offer wine.

Cheng Yi was suspected of being a party member, so he returned to Henan that day and was still sentenced to the Imperial Academy in Xijing.

…

Bianjing East City, Fan Tower.

A group of scholars were drinking and discussing matters upstairs.

Zhang Jue, Shu Cheng, and Li Yan are all among them.

What's even more funny is that there are also Su Shi's disciples who admired Ba Ye in the crowd - Chen Shidao and Li Luo.

There is also Su Shi’s nephew, Wen Tong’s son Wen Qian.

There are also the imperial scholar Liu Tao, Zhang Dun's sons Zhang Chi and Zhang Yuan.

Among them, Zhang, Shu and Li are the children of three Taiwanese admonishers who were demoted to Nanhai after the Wutai Poetry Case.

Liu Tao was born in Imperial College and was considered a disciple of Cheng Yi.

Chen, Li and Wen were all descendants of Su Shi.

Zhang Chi and Zhang Yuan's fathers were good friends of Su Shi and Su You.

Lao Zhang and Su You and Su Shi were good friends in private, but they were once enemies in politics. However, at critical moments in the court, they helped each other, and even did not hesitate to attack their own comrades for each other.

If you really want to put it into theory, it’s like a pot of eight-treasure porridge.

But during this dinner, these people admired each other's writing skills, and after an incident, they actually became very good friends.

In the Song Dynasty, the officialdom was afraid of attracting disciples and teachers, so everyone had different opinions inside and outside the court. This trend spread to the interactions of younger generations, and it often happened that the teachers were political enemies and the children were good friends; or the teachers were good friends and the children bitten the dogs.

Everyone makes their own friends, and the enlightened teacher actually doesn't care much about them.

Being an official is a high-risk profession, and you may have to rely on your children's friends to make a profit one day.

Zhang Jue and Chen Shidao are the elders among these people. The three families went to the New Song Dynasty, which was actually a blessing in disguise. They became the first three families to eat the crabs of the New Song Dynasty.

I didn't dare to touch gold and silver, but each family occupied thousands of hectares in that vast and sparsely populated area. The sales of woolen milk, sugar, camphor, and crocodile skins skyrocketed, and they also started iron smelting, making them rich.

This is inseparable from the support of Sitong. The three families also knew that Su You wanted to treat them like human beings and would definitely let them survive in New Songzhou. However, Li Ding and others really did not expect that Su You would let them live in such a way.

Go down.

Li Ding had a rather stubborn character and felt that Su You was trying to kill him. For the sake of his family, he had to accept the appointment as the governor of Xuanhu City. Everyone was overjoyed, but his body collapsed immediately.

Shu Cheng and Li Xuan were juniors and did not understand the connection here. Zhang Jue was their uncle and could be considered a witness to the incident that year, so he actually had no resentment towards Su You.

He was rich, had a good temper, and everyone got along well with him. Even his two nephews were reintegrated into the big family of scholars of the Song Dynasty.

However, the troubles in the tribute examination this time were really one after another, because Su Shi was not only the question maker of the imperial examination, but also the question maker and marking officer of the examination, which was directly related to the fate of these candidates.

Three of his family members fell into the hands of Su Shi, and Su Shi couldn't even decide whether to raise his hand or not. Before he was done worrying about this, there was another impeachment incident, which was almost the same as when the Wutai Shi case began.

Su Yuanzhen's bullets named Li Ding and Shudan, and several people were worried that Master Su would be reminded of the unpleasantness in the past.

Also, will the Gongju exam questions be affected by the Guange exam questions? Will the test paper still count?

Zhang Jue, Shu Cheng and Li Xuan were not the only ones who were worried at that time. There were also many people sitting here who had their own secrets and were uneasy.

Before locking the courtyard, Da Su asked his servant to send a letter to Li Luo. Li Luo was not around at the time, so the servant placed the letter on several cases.

It happened that Zhang Chi Zhangyuan came to visit him. When he saw this letter, he saw that it was written by Su Shi. The two brothers looked at each other and opened it to read!

When I opened it, I found a new article written by Su Shi - "On the Superiority of Yang Xiong to Liu Xiang".

The second son was so happy that he ran away with the letter and returned home to ponder it.

This question is difficult because there are many students who study the two articles, but not necessarily those who study the details of their lives. They have to find the answer from history books.

This is like today's Chinese literature that does not study the content of the article but examines the author's introduction. If you say it is biased, it is not biased. If you say it is not biased, it is a little biased. People with incomplete knowledge will be blinded.

The two of them spent a lot of time writing this article. When it came time for the exam, they opened the test paper and found exactly this question!

Li Shi was a disciple of Su Shi, and he imitated Su Shi's writing style. As a result, many articles in that exam imitated Su Shi's writing style.

Su Shi did not cheat when judging the paper, and selected the three best articles that were close to his own style.

The best is ranked first, the second best is ranked tenth, and the third best is ranked twentieth.

Huang Tingjian was also among the judges. When they saw the twentieth article, they all came over and said to Su Shi: "Congratulations to Neihan for getting this person. This must be someone I knew when I was the magistrate of Taihe County."

Written by students.”

That student refers to Li Wei.

As a result, when the seal was opened, Su was dumbfounded. The first place in the tribute examination was Zhang Yuan, the tenth place was Zhang Chi, and the twentieth place was a scholar whom he had never heard of named Ge Minxiu.
