Returning to the Western Xia
Seeing the head of state and the important ministers of the auxiliary state joining together to get epilepsy, most ministers chose to remain silent. The matter is obvious. Even the prime minister has been destroyed. Is it meaningful for the rest of the people to go to this mess? Politics is a game of rationality, and life is even more realistic. Everyone is smart enough to be a high-ranking official, so they naturally understand what to do. There is only one exception: Zhang Dun!
He was the only remaining prisoner in the Xinfa Group at this time, and it can be said that it was the last flag. He had to come forward! Zhang Dun debated with Sima Guang in a court meeting, and the two of them started arguing. The result was that Zhang Dun poked a huge hornet nest. From the beginning, Zhang Dun was very embarrassed. The young and strong man and a bad old man who could die at any time were shouting, which was simply awkward. At the same time, he was disturbed constantly, reminding him to pay attention to his demeanor when quarreling, so as not to scare the Empress Dowager behind the curtain...
The criterion for winning and losing this national policy debate is whether the woman behind the curtain was scared. Zhang Dun lost in his attitude. Just look at the original words of another leader of the old party, Lu Gong, you will know how difficult Zhang Dun was - "What Dun talked about is inherently desirable, but he is dedicated to winning, regardless of the court's great court ceremony." It is reasonable, and it can be seen that it is beneficial to the country. In the face of such a general principle, he actually blamed Zhang Dun for having the mentality of seeking victory... He scared Empress Dowager Gao...
No matter what, this is a crime, but they can attack them! The censors recommended by Sima Guang jumped out one after another, and they had a place to use their skills. They defeated Prime Minister Cai and then knocked down Privy Zhang. It was exciting to think about it!
By the way, the Song Dynasty had a very sound system for censor management. If the censor and the prime minister happened to be relatives, one party had to resign. At this time, Fan Chunren and Fan Zuyu in the censor were both relatives of Sima Guang, and Zhang Dun also pointed it out before, but Sima Guang ignored it. Note: it was not a rejection, but pretending to be confused!
On the 7th, Zhang Dun, the head of the Privy Council, was dismissed. On the 7th, An Tao, the head of the Tongzhi Privy Council, was promoted to the head of the Tongzhi Privy Council. The Xinfa Group was defeated, and other middle- and high-level staff such as Lu Jiawen, Deng Wan, Li Ding, Pu Zongmeng, Fan Ziyuan, etc. were demoted to other places one after another...
On the 5th of the month, the Encade Examination for the New Emperor ascended the throne began, and another news came to Jinling. Wang Anshi modified the textbooks, reformed the imperial examinations, and cultivated useful talents for the country. In the textbooks, there were the poems he had personally annotated by "Poetry", "Book", and "Zhou Li", which were the new meanings of the Three Classics. This was a subject that the scholars of the Song Dynasty had been studying for over 15 years. When Sima Guang approached the exam, he suddenly announced that all the new meanings annotated by Wang Anshi were abolished and everything was restored to Xining before!
If you don’t think about Wang Anshi, you should also think about countless candidates in the world? As the exam period is approaching, suddenly this is done. Putting aside the identity of a senior official of the court and a senior of knowledge, Sima Guang should not be so mean as an elder! He did this, and his purpose was achieved. Wang Anshi had insomnia all night and walked around the house. In the early morning, his family saw the screen full of words, without any cursing words, only hundreds of Sima Guang’s names...
Sima Guang... I never thought that 15 years later, you transformed into this! But this is not the end. After a few days, a new order was issued, and the official personnel were strictly ordered to read a book called "Zhishuo". This book was an important work in Wang Anshi's later years... Was Wang Anshi a criminal? Why is his works listed as a banned book? On the one hand, the new laws were abolished and Wang Anshi's imprint in the political circle. On the other hand, Wang Anshi's works were imprisoned and his thoughts on the earth were erased. How to position such behavior, please think about it yourself!
To sum up, the old bastard wants to let the living Wang Anshi know that you thought the exemption method was advanced and better than the recruitment method, but I changed it back and let you watch it, but there was no way!
His goal was achieved, Wang Anshi's health declined sharply, and he really died before him... On April 6, 66-year-old Wang Anshi died of illness. With Sima Guang's every move to contrast, Wang Anshi's essence can be seen...
After doing this, the old party members breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the overall situation was settled, but they could live a more relaxed life? They were wrong! The facts will immediately awaken them! How hideous the true face of Sima Guang, the leader of the old party with the title of saint, is! Not to mention the enemy, even friends in the party, are so angry that they are so frightened by him! They are about to see how Sima Guang treats his friendly countries...
Before this, Yue, Sima Guang arranged a transcendent and sacred work for a fellow Taoist who also had the title of saint - the imperial teacher!
Cheng Yi, the old master Cheng on the Yishui River, made his reputation as Sima Guang in the past 15 years. First of all, a large number of disciples became talents, and the highest position was the official of the Song Dynasty. Secondly, his knowledge finally formed a system, and he had his own understanding of the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the status of the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism was established. This was a great achievement. From the folk to the officialdom, no one did not worship him except for a few monsters. Being able to do this was unique since the founding of the Song Dynasty! Its effect was amazing. He was respected by Sima Guang and his status was transcendent and unrestrained. He could argue with Sima Guang equally. Although he was in the old party, he would never use any high-ranking officials. Because of this status, Sima Guang arranged for him to be a teacher for the young emperor Song Zhezong.
In the history of the Song Dynasty, the future of the imperial teacher was extremely bright, and due to his special relationship with the emperor, their sense of trust and dependence developed since childhood, they can greatly affect the direction of national policies.
Cheng Yi was the imperial teacher with the highest diploma in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhezong was only over 9 years old and was at the ideal age for education. Such a combination is very exciting. They will definitely become close teachers and students... In fact, Song Zhezong wanted Cheng Yi to die immediately!
Cheng Yi cares about everything, like spring has arrived, everything is revived, flowers and trees are lush, Zhezong is watching the scenery on the railing in the deep palace, and he breaks down willow branches at will. Cheng Yi appears instantly: Hey! You are too cruel, spring is the season of life, and every creature has the power to grow, even a willow tree. You are the emperor, be kind, be fraternal, love willow trees, and then love your people like you love willow trees. This is a good emperor...
Ru Zhezong dressed neatly into the classroom and was about to receive education. Cheng Yi picked up the book, but suddenly asked: Hey! Did you have an ant at your feet when you took a shower last night? Yes...
How did you deal with it? I gave way to it...
OK! Cheng Yi applauded. You finally did it right. From willows to ants, they are all life and your people. You finally love them. You have to do this for life...
Ru Zhezong woke up in the deep palace and suddenly found that the one around him was no longer the sisters and sisters before last night, but the aunts who were all over 50 years old. What's going on? He wanted to scream and roar. He was covered with fierce blood from the Shenzong, and he was definitely not a coward who could rub it at will! But Cheng Yi's voice appeared: A good emperor is not a good woman, a woman... Well, Zi Zeng said: This is the nature of a man, so you have to start from childhood, even if you are only 10 years old...
Song Zhezong, he was a very special child. He had precocious children in human history. There were precocious emperors, but no one could have such rationality, perseverance and depth as he was at his age. He buried everything deeply in his heart, except for a few cutting-edge moments, never let anyone see his emotional fluctuations... He looked at everything around him coldly and remembered everything in his heart, like a gray dead stone statue of a child, living silently...
On April, the only remaining members of the new party on the list of magistrates: the second prime minister, the right servant of the Shangshu Han Zhen was dismissed. On the 15th, the subordinate minister, Lu Gongzhu, was promoted to the right servant of the Shangshu and the second servant. The senior official Wen Yanbo was specially appointed as the Grand Tutor, and Pingzhang's military and national affairs.
At this time, Sima Guang was invincible in the world and would do whatever he wanted. But not only did he not be happy, he sighed and said to the people around him, "I will die with my eyes open before Xixia has been convinced." As soon as this statement was made, both the old and new parties resonated deeply. From the Taizong Dynasty to the present, they were exhausted by the Dangxiang people. This is the 104-year-old cancer of the Song Dynasty. Sima Xianggong finally had to take action against it! But how to do it? What good will Sima Guang have to do with the five emperors and countless capable ministers? Facts are better than words. Sima Guang's answer was earth-shaking and no one could think of it in advance!
First, he took action with the eunuch Li Xian! Under the impeachment of the censors recommended by Sima Guang, in April, Li Xian and Wang Zhongzheng were driven out of the palace to supervise the taxation in Taipingzhou.
On May 4, Xixia sent envoys to congratulate Song Zhezong ascended the throne. In June, Li Bingchang sent another envoy to tribute again, requesting the return of the lost lands in the five routes of attacking Xia Lanzhou, Mizhi, Futu, Anjiang, and Jialu. The old bastard began to make a high-profile statement: The reason why the relationship with the Xixia people deteriorated to the present is Wang Anshi's fault! Then the solution is simple. Isn't it okay to return all the benefits of previous wars to the Xixia people! Lanzhou and the four villages are all back! Restore the market and continue to do business. As for the annual rewards, of course, it is impossible to lose. Everything is in line with the treatment of the Renzong era... As for the reward? Do we need it in the country? Oh! Forget one thing, go back and tell you the king, as long as he does this: continue to pay tribute like before, and write some standard New Year greetings every year...
The people of Xixia really couldn't help but think about it. Let's be kind enough and return the hundreds of prisoners captured in the Battle of Yongle City to the Song Dynasty!
In this way, the old bastard finally felt at ease. He took the report of compliment sent by the people of Xixia and announced to the whole country that Xixia was conquered by us...
While excited, Sima Guang was still unsatisfied. He remembered that during Wang Anshi's rule, he had also built a large area of land. What is it called Xihe Road now? Be honest and return it to Xixia.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help it. An Tao, the official in the Privy Council, took a map for him to show: If you want to die, you will die, stop talking nonsense! Let's see clearly! This land was originally from Tubo, and it has nothing to do with the Xixia people! Look at the geographical location, if you really want to return it to Xixia, the Song Dynasty will be surrounded!
Ah, is that like this? Sima Guang reluctantly raised his spirits and looked at it: OK, let's keep Xihe Road...
Only by discussing history can we understand how sinister and selfish Sima Guang's move was and how endless disasters it was! He is a great master of history, and his history was well known in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. So would you not know about the events in the Middle Tang Dynasty? Speaking of which, Sima Guang's behavior of ceding the four northwest villages at this time happened in the Middle Tang Dynasty!
It was the time of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty when the Niu Li party was fighting. Niu Sengru and Li Deyu. The two parties excluded each other. At that time, Niu Sengru was the prime minister and Li Deyu was demoted to the border of Xichuan to stand guard. Xichuan bordered Tubo, and there was a city of Vizhou in the northwest of the Minshan Mountains. It was taken away by the Tubo people many years ago. At this time, the Tubo defender Xidamou admired Li Deyu, and took his whole family to pack the city of Vizhou together and surrendered. Li Deyu was overjoyed and reported to the court, which made Niu Sengru very unhappy: Your achievements are mine [31 Novel Network �
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was scared and ordered Sidar to be handed over to Tubo and sent back to Weizhou City! As a result, Sidar to be tortured and killed by Tubo people on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, no Tubo people dared to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!
Niu Sengru puts party struggles above national interests. It has only been more than 00 years since the incident. With the knowledge of a master of history, this is the most basic pediatrics, but he knowingly committed this crime and repeated it. What is the purpose of? Think about it yourself!
If you think he would rather spend money to eliminate disasters for the peace of the Song Empire, hehe! Soon, the turbulent situation in the northwest again, Xiao Liang, who was arrogant again, would stoke his face in the coffin! But that didn't prevent the writing of "History of Song" from "...China's Prime Minister Sima, don't commit suicide, and make a gap." Xixia, and even Liao, warned themselves to the border generals: Sima Guang was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, so you must be careful and don't cause trouble!
On July 10, Xia Huizong Li Bingchang finally passed away after gaining the greatest benefit. The 2016 Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne. Xixia once again staged a tradition, and the real power fell into the hands of Liang Yibu and Xiaolianghou brother and sister...
After struggling to do these things, Sima Guang finally died. He threw all his energy out and all his wishes were fulfilled. He felt that there was no reason to die again. But suddenly, he jumped up from the hospital bed, got into the sedan chair and rushed into the palace!
