Liquidation of the old party
Su Shi became happier and happier as he wrote, and gradually he could not stop the gate. He could not help but drag the new party group out and was scolded collectively. "It is harsh and can harm the people, and he leads all his arms and calls his head." "I first use my confidant to deceive the king. If I am happy, I am enough to be happy, and if I am angry, I will turn my eyes and eat each other." The last sentence summary is "A little more serious crime will always be the rule of the world."
Everyone see: Is it too much for Su Shi to write these? Lu Huiqing made a mistake, just say Lu Huiqing is OK! But why should I take the opportunity to defeat everyone? After all, if you have something to say, you have to be responsible for cursing people!
Su Shi didn't care. After writing this peerless article, he smiled and felt very comfortable. He walked out of the door and was happy. Someone asked Su Xueshu: Why are you so happy?
Su Shi recited the newly written derogatory system, and then added his own sigh--"Thirty years after becoming an executioner, I've only cut a meaty man today": It's great!
After the fun, he paid the bill. Su Shi was decided at this time. He took advantage of his position to avenge his personal revenge and alluded to the late Emperor Shenzong who committed a crime of great rebellion! The evidence is conclusive! There is no need to take it back to the capital for trial like the Wutai poem case. On the 11th, he was directly dismissed from Dingzhou and went to Yingzhou to wake up!
Su Shi was the second top minister to be demoted to Lingnan in the party dispute after Cai Que...
During this process, no one pleaded with him. Even Fan Chunren was dodging far away. He hid as far as he could. Even so, he still felt unsafe. A few days later, Fan Chunren, Fan Zuyu and others almost wrote a letter of resignation and took the initiative to apply for external transfer... The capital could not stay, it was too dangerous!
However, this was not scared by Zhang Shangying. No matter how cruel Zhang Shangying was, he had no deep qualifications and could not shake the big bosses of their level. The reason why they hid out like a fleeing was because they had a deeper qualifications, greater influence, never compromised, and never ruthless people rushed back from Jiangnan and soon entered the capital of Kaifeng - Zhang Dun!
On April 1, Song Zhezong ordered the change of the reign of Shaosheng. Shao, the meaning of inheritance, the meaning of saint, the meaning of saint. The saint in Song Zhezong's heart was nothing but his father, Song Shenzong! From this change of the reign, the curtain of Shaosheng Shaoshu officially opened!
On April 1 of the first year of Shaosheng (1094), Zhang Dun was appointed as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the Minister of the Sect. At the same time, Fan Chunren was dismissed. Zhang Dun became Shaosheng, the only prime minister of the Song Dynasty during the Yuanfu period...
Among the officials who are still alive in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Dun is the oldest. After the deaths of Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others, no one can surpass him except for the older Wen Yanbo. Whether it is Fan Chunren or Lu Dafang, even if they are of similar age, they are all juniors of Zhang Dun in their positions. This is nothing. Generally, old seniors are kind and warm to their younger generations... But Zhang Dun is an exception!
Zhang Dun lived in the black and white world all his life. He thought that what he was right would always be loyal, such as to Wang Anshi and the New Law. He thought that it was wrong, he would always be hostile to the end, such as to Sima Guang and the old party. There would never be a third situation between the two. This belief turned into a style of doing things and became the enemy's nightmare!
For tooth for tooth, for eye for eye, for blood for blood... This is Zhang Dun's style!
The past examples are in sight. In the past nine years, the old party relied on Empress Dowager Gao to do evil things to the new party members, and they all killed everyone! At this time, Zhang Dun returned to Beijing, and only had one goal - killing people! Realizing this, even peacemakers like Fan Chunren dared to get involved. Zhang Dun came, as far as he could go, it would be best not to meet this person! They predicted it very accurately. In the following time, every point happened, and the party struggle continued to intensify!
Before leaving, Zhang Dun knew about his appointment and returned to the court to be the prime minister. This was not only because of his talent, but also because of his loyalty. Song Zhezong most recognized such a person...
Another point is that all the ministers in the court have thought of apart from Fan Chunren, Fan Zuyu and others. In order to save their lives, these people lost their own value and did something extremely rare in the history of the Song Dynasty and unprecedented!
On the day Zhang Dun arrived in the capital, all the court officials went outside the city gate to greet him. They were all fearful and cautious. Unfortunately, Zhang Dun was indifferent. What jokes are you making? Now, it is impossible to make meritorious service and atone for sins. Just relying on some servitude, I want to pass the test?
Zhang Dun took office, and the new party members quickly returned to Beijing. At that time, the old people of Xifeng, such as Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Zhou Zhi, Zhai Si, Shangguan Jun, Lin Xi, Huang Lu, Lai Zhishao, Guo Zhizhang, Liu Zheng, etc., quickly occupied key departments such as the Censorate and the Zhijianyuan, and cooperated closely with Zhang Shangying, and his work efficiency was unprecedentedly rapid...
In the leap month of April, Huang Lu, who was collectively known as the "Four Evils" with Cai Que, Zhang Dun and Xing Shu during the Yuanyou period, was promoted to the chief censor of the Censorate.
On May 9, Song Zhezong issued an edict: Taking Wang Anshi's "Diqu" as the basis, Cai Bian and others re-wrote the "Diqu" of Shenzong
On the 14th, after being exiled to Su Shi, another new liquidation target was released - the Palace Censor Guo Jinzhang pursued the ceasing of the four northwest villages to the Western Xia during the Yuanyou period!
It was very satisfying! When the Song Dynasty was always in a strategic offensive situation against the Western Xia, the old party took the initiative to give up the four border villages and angered each other! The cities that countless border soldiers exchanged for flesh and blood were returned to the enemy for free just to sing against the new party. Not to mention the actual material losses, the morale of the two countries and the transfer of offense and defense in the past nine years made the Song Dynasty miserable!
The people of Xixia became extremely arrogant again. Queen Xiao Liang dared to lead 100,000 people into the Huanqing Road of the Song Dynasty to kill and set fire... This is a great humiliation! Zhang Dun instructed that the first thing he did after taking office was to do, and whoever has the responsibility must be investigated and dealt with!
Soon the list of responsible persons was listed, and 11 people led by Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were the main culprits. Among them, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and Fan Chuncun were the most responsible, and they were determined to be "hijacking the traitor and ignoring the superiors". Sun Jue, Wang Cun and others were accomplices, and the crime was "not knowing the matter secretly and discussing it erroneously."
Another list! Yuanyou list! Song Zhezong looked at this report and asked himself many times. He wanted to be gentle, but could this matter be gentle? Yu Guo, Yu Family, Yu Xianhuang, and Yu soldiers, no matter what point, they could not be forgiven! He agreed to deal with it strictly and seriously...
During the period of studying how to conduct specific convictions, the Censorate launched another impeachment. Asked the former Prime Minister Cai Que during the Yuanyou period to death. 1 Is Cai Que guilty? Is he guilty? Will he be forgiven and will die in Lingnan? Who ordered this and for what purpose?
These two questions are extremely fatal, pointing to the disputes between the core of the highest power back then. The most sensitive one can be classified into one sentence - only the position can be brought down by a higher position than the prime minister. Who is that person? Empress Dowager Gao! No one except her can do it!
The censors pointed to the key points, and Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Su Che, Wang Yansou and others were all arrested. No matter where they are now, they will be demoted again!
The derogatory system was written by Lin Xi, and the writing style was similar to Su Dongpo. For example, the demotion of Liu Zhi——"... It was said that Fu met the powerful ministers, flattered the style and orders, and was both secretly spreading the party, advocated evil plots, discussed traffic, and had mysterious traces. He falsely slandered the sages and looked at me in a fool's manner." It was very cruel, but every sentence was true. He set up a small group in the court and helped Empress Dowager Gao abolish the new law. He only saw the Empress Dowager, and the little emperor could only see his back and butt every day...
It was very relieved, and what was even more pleasant was the derogatory remarks when defaming Su Zhe - "Zhe used to be virtuous, upright, and countermeasures in court, and he specifically denounced his superiors, and had unique ambitions... At the beginning of the curtain, the old traitor was abusive to the country and placed it on the way of speaking, and slandered the previous dynasty, and he used the hatred of the king and father, and had no right to restore his son." The first few sentences said that Su Zhe was born. When he was taking the exam for the subject, he clearly divided the labor with his brother Su Shi. Su Shi praised him, and he demoted him, saying that the Renzong era was worthless. At that time, he was angry. The top officials were all tempered and had never seen any means. Strictly, he was strict.
To put it: Flattering is shameful, but on the contrary, it appears with a loyal face. Those who fight to the death to be famous are even more despised! The last few sentences are the key point, meaning that after the death of Emperor Shenzong of Song, Empress Dowager Gao was in charge of the country, and the old and immortal traitor usurped the state power without authorization, and arranged Su Che as a censor, so that he could slander and slander the Shenzong Dynasty! The old and treacherous were good at the country, which was unmistakable and cursed Empress Dowager Gao. This was the first time that the new party attacked this and ruined the country. It was both stupid and cruel, and he didn't know the so-called dead woman!
Faced with these, Song Zhezong hesitated. The experiences in the past 9 years made him hate his grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao. But first, he did not want to take power and was violent at the beginning, and second, family enemies should not be promoted, and royal decency is important...
Seeing the little emperor hesitation, the New Party Group felt a crisis. In the feudal monarchy era, if it could not get 100% support from those in power, no matter what kind of talented people were, the most recent examples were Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, Empress Dowager Gao and Sima Guang...
Now Song Zhezong hesitated. This is a crisis, a huge crisis! But Zhang Dun, you dare to walk up to the little emperor alone and say to him: Your grandma is so bastard, we united to be her?
Look for a kick? But someone in the New Party did this and was very successful. Zhang Shangying came out of the mountain of documents and summoned the ministers to meet Song Zhezong. He said, "I hope Your Majesty will not forget the time of Yuanyou, Zhang Dun will not forget the time of Ruzhou, An Tao will not forget the time of Xuchang, Li Qingchen, Zeng Bu will not forget the time of Heyang." This sentence burned into the gas station like a ball of fire, and with a bang, everyone's anger was ignited!
Ruzhou, Xuchang, and Heyang were the initial places of demotion and exile for Zhang Dun and others. The Yuanyou period was the day of Song Zhezong's good fortune, and it was even more of a day of shame. If the scars cannot heal, forget the pain, and if the cancer is not eradicated, it will explode again one day!
There is no hesitation! I will kill the old party! This highest instruction was released, and the new party members quickly implemented it, but they changed slightly during the operation. They are - not even letting go of those who are dead!
In July, the handling decision was issued. Let's talk about the living: Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Su Che, Liang Tao, and Liu Anshi's second demotion were Yingzhou, Qizhou, Yunzhou, Ezhou, and Nan'an Army. Although they had not crossed Lingnan, they all reached both sides of the Yangtze River. And they all removed all the dispatches of these people! From this moment on, these former top tycoons were all light, and except for a little bit of the remaining honorary titles, they were actually a group of criminals!
Let’s talk about the death: Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu were the two leaders of the old party. Although they were dead, the titles, posthumous titles, and favors to their descendants still exist. These are their proceeds of crime and must be taken back!
All were taken back. Sima Guang's posthumous title of "Wenzheng" and the "Zhongqing and Cuish De" monument were all taken back and declared invalid by the official! Before it was finished, the assessment of the descendants of all criminal ministers was also in progress. For example, Lu Gongzhu's son Lu Xichun was arrested. Zhang Shangying found the edicts he wrote to the Empress Dowager Gao from a pile of documents. There was a sentence "My ancestor was in his former position and was in full swing" that pushed Empress Dowager Gao to the supreme peak!
Empress Dowager Gao is alive, you are taking advantage of the situation and still flatter when you die. You will never take me as the emperor seriously at any time! Demote! Get away!
At this point, I believe everyone is feeling a little nervous. The liquidation movement is so pleasant, but will it harm the Song Dynasty if it continues to do so? After all, it is too harmful to carry out the movement in the nest! The new party led by Zhang Dun's restoration and settlement made the Song Dynasty worse after Yuanyou became more ineffective! This incident is also recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty to prove that Zhang Dun and others are indeed too excessive!
