Chapter 3 Chapter 3 strong memory

Ouyang Xiu immediately followed up, "It's not only the ministers who understand, but everyone in the world knows that your benevolence is widely spread." Then he moved with emotion, and suddenly made a super-strong attack on the late Renzong. memories. "His Majesty Renzong has been in power for a long time, and people are convinced of his virtue. Therefore, once he dies, no one in the world will dare to disobey. Today, the Empress Dowager lives deep in the inner palace. If the minister waits for five or six measures, if it is not for Renzong Who in the world is willing to obey a will?"

Can you hear what it means?How humble, he, Han Qi and the others are just five or six powerless scholars, not worth mentioning at all, and have no deterrent power to the world.The reason why the world obeys orders is because of His Majesty Renzong's choice. So you, a woman in the deep palace, don't even think about disobeying your husband's orders!This is the true meaning of all conversations. Ouyang Xiu's knowledge is high, without the slightest bit of Han Qi's roughness, so Empress Dowager Cao has no way, let alone dare to abolish Zhao Shu. Empress Dowager Cao was silent.She knew that Zhao Shu had disobeyed her, but if she wanted to abolish Zhao Shu, she disobeyed her husband.This button cannot be undone at all for a while.

While she was silent, the ministers of the two governments had already saluted her goodbye one by one.Whoever wins and who loses knows it well, and it is very successful, bullying the number one widow in the world, when Renzong just entered the earth and his bones were not cold!Walking out of the small curtained hall behind the inner east gate of the Queen Mother, these people breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled helplessly. The matter is only half done at this point. The current emperor, Mr. Zhao Shu, who is either stupid or dumb, has to receive some re-education. This is not how the emperor is!If you don't understand him, things like this will never end in the future, and one day something big will happen.

But Zhao Shu was not as talkative as Empress Dowager Cao. It was November of the eighth year of Huangyou (1063 A.D.), and something happened to him when he first became emperor half a year ago, which is enough to show this person's temperament and handling of affairs. style.At that time, Renzong died suddenly, and the medical officers had an unshirkable responsibility. The two leaders were first demoted to remote prefectures and counties, and the rest ran to plead with the new emperor in fear. It is said that Renzong took the medicine of these two people at the beginning and it was very effective, but later, it was the destiny that had come, and it was not something the medical officer could restore.This is also true. Could it be that medical skills are omnipotent, and are there immortals in the world?

The new emperor's reaction was to put on a straight face and ask a question. "I heard that you were recommended by the two governments, right?" "yes." "If that's the case, I don't care about it, and leave it to the two governments to adjudicate!" When the medical officers heard this, they were completely out of their wits.Let the responsible persons (two governments) deal with those who messed up (them), is there still a way out?This is Zhao Shu's style, staying out of the matter, not afraid of big troubles, pinching both sides to the death, without any scruples about fairness and justice.Let me ask you, what kind of prime minister do you have to be in order to admit your mistakes first, and then deal with medical officials who are at most technically dereliction of duty?

With Han Qi's impartiality? Zhao Shu is cold, there is no forgiveness or understanding in him, and he is full of a kind of paranoid love for everyone.Not long after, this characteristic was even more evident in the treatment of another central minister.What I want to emphasize now is that another manifestation of this kind of coldness is that I am never wrong.Even if it is a dispute with the nominal mother, at least the aunt, Empress Dowager Cao. He was not wrong either. Facing the visiting ministers of the two governments, his first sentence was: "The Empress Dowager treats me ungratefully!"

This sentence made Han Qi and the others understand how "sick" this person was, and how to treat it.When Lenovo first entered the palace, Zhao Shu brought so many books with him, which really made them dumbfounded. You don't even know the basics of filial piety, kindness, propriety, and accommodation. What have you learned? The following courses were almost at the preschool level, and the top officials of the Song Dynasty took turns to make up for the emperor.First is Han Qi, who cited "Shun" who was famous for his filial piety among the ancient sages.Legend has it that Shun's biological mother died early, his father was reborn, and he was killed by his stepmother, biological father and half-brother. He could go to the granary to repair the roof, and set fire to the ladder below, and he could go down the well to dig mud and throw big stones down.All kinds of dangers did not die, and Shun was still friendly to his relatives.

This is "filial piety". May I ask your Majesty, is the empress dowager as cruel as Shun's parents?How different is your behavior from Shun? "Your Majesty is afraid that before the Empress Dowager arrives, how can parents be unkind and filial!" In all fairness, what Han Qi said was very fair. In the feudal era, it was normal for parents to be loving and filial to their children.If the parents are not loving, the son is still filial, which is rare.No matter how modern people look at it, this was the truth at the time.After he said these words with a stern face, Zhao Shu's reaction was also "enlightened".

The man began to wake up.When it comes to this point, the history books of all dynasties all praise Han Qi's justice and Zhao Shu's timely correction.But if you look at it from another angle, you will find it very funny. I would like to ask Zhao Shu, who is in his 30s and claims to love books as much as his life, and has sound knowledge, but wants someone to tell the allusion of Shun and what filial piety is. What is going on?If you are really sick, if you are insane, then the first sign of insanity is logical confusion, and you can't think about things. He actually made sense as soon as he said it, and he could change it immediately. What's going on?There can only be one explanation, he is not sick at all!

The following things further prove this point.After Han Qi finished speaking, the other ministers were not at ease. They took every opportunity to correct the emperor's ideological style.There are a lot of people, pick three main ones.Written by Lu Gong, the son of Lu Yi Jian, and Liu Chang.These two are Zhao Shu's imperial teachers. One lectures on "Historical Records" and the other talks about "Historical Records".The heavyweight is Sima Guang. This time he did not use his super-strong historical knowledge to insinuate, but spoke directly. Sima Guang said that the ancient gentleman must repay the kindness of a meal.Now the empress dowager has three great favors, has your majesty thought about how to repay them?First, when Renzong appointed you as the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager had the help in the middle; second, on the night of Renzong's death, the Empress Dowager closed the palace door tightly to block the news, waiting for you to come to the throne the next morning; third, the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, Guarantee the stability of the court for you, and go to work when you recover from illness.

One of these three items is worthy of "repayment from your majesty's children and grandchildren, let alone these three virtues." You are the son of Renzong, and the queen mother is your mother. What is Your Majesty doing? What do the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods call Your Majesty?!" This kind of questioning is so severe, the implication is that as long as it is not the emperor, it is anyone who is not filial and disobedient.Under this condemning persuasion, Zhao Shu finally had the intention of repenting, and his sanity began to "better".After the start of the new year, the ministers decided to let him go to work officially.This involves a very head-scratching problem. How can the Empress Dowager Cao get off work? This has not been successful in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years.The previous Liu E was so powerful that he almost entered the coffin wearing the emperor's uniform, and he did not delegate power until his death.Reminiscent of how obedient and filial Renzong was at that time, and looking at the current confrontation between the two palaces, the difficulty of getting Empress Dowager Cao to let go is basically equivalent to persuading people to commit suicide. In order to achieve the goal, Han Qi and others thought of two ways, first do enough peripheral work.First, as spring was approaching, the ministers asked the emperor to go out to pray for rain, and bless this year with a bumper crop and peace in the world.The reason is very good, and it is also in line with past practice, but Empress Dowager Cao really came forward to object.The new emperor's illness is just a little better, so it's not suitable to go out. Han Qi replied indifferently, the emperor himself thought it was okay. Empress Dowager Cao slipped down habitually, the emperor was in filial piety, and the ceremonial uniforms for going out were not ready yet. Han Qi suddenly smiled kindly, it was not difficult at all. At this point, Zhao Shu appeared in public, and the opportunity to prove his health finally came.On April 28, the first year of Zhiping (AD 1064), Song Yingzong left the imperial city in a chariot to pray for rain at Tianqing Temple and Liquan Temple in Xiangguo.Along the way, people gathered to watch, and there were huge crowds of people, and from time to time, there were passionate voices of long live, long live, long live, long live. The effect was very good, the emperor ruled the world and was recognized by the people. Proof of health also requires proof of competence.After returning from praying for rain, Han Qi prepared more than ten urgent documents for Zhao Shu, asking him to give instructions in a short time.Zhao Shu was very upbeat and quickly finished all approvals.These documents passed into the hands of the Queen Mother. According to the procedure, the Empress Dowager must review it before deciding whether to issue it. This is the last chance that history gave Empress Dowager Cao to fight back.You must know that political issues, such as the Yellow River breaking its embankment, or the Xixia war, are always justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is right. There is no unique answer, let alone some daily work in the Song Dynasty.Empress Dowager Cao can completely pick the bones in the egg, saying that the instructions in these documents are wrong! Only by sticking to this point can Zhao Shu be prevented from resetting.Unfortunately, there is no information to prove whether she was really aware of the danger. Empress Dowager Cao's reaction was to watch them one by one, nodding frequently.Well, everything was handled right... Han Qi got everything he wanted. The conditions are ripe for the Queen Mother to withdraw the curtain.
