Chapter 45: Judgment on the Suzhou Matter
I'm sorry guys, there aren't many words in the two chapters today, only two thousand nods..... I checked the information for a day today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is written very slowly, and the next step is to involve a lot of the official system of the Song Dynasty, the military system....
Anyone who knows a little bit about the history of the Song Dynasty knows that the official system of the Song Dynasty, especially the official system before the Xining Reform, even the Song people themselves can't figure it out, let alone our little white after a thousand years... Cangshan is still a little unstraightened.
Another thing is that the promise to add a change has not been fulfilled today.... Tomorrow, tomorrow will be added.
Thank you for your clicks, favorites, and recommendations. Of course, there are also a few big red envelopes from Huba.

XI century
The large cities of Europe, such as London in the United Kingdom, Paris in France, Venice and Florence in Italy, all have a scale of less than 10,000 people, but in the Great Song Dynasty, thousands of miles away, there is already a super city with a population of more than one million - Kaifeng.
As the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was an absolute economic and cultural center. Of course, more importantly... This is the center of power of the Great Song Dynasty.
The political hall is located in the palace ban, and it consists of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, which is the political center of the Great Song Dynasty. Every day, countless newspapers from all over the country gather here, and at the same time, countless court decrees are issued across the country.
At this time, just after the early dynasty, the functional officials of the various ministries of the political hall were very busy. Suddenly, I saw Wu Yu, the governor of the political affairs, holding a book in his hand, hurriedly ran out of the middle book room, turned a corner in the hall, and trotted into the house of Jia Changchao, a scholar of Zhaowenguan University.
Everyone couldn't help frowning, Wu Yugui is the deputy prime minister, what's going on today? How could it be so gaffe? And...
And even if it is to report work, it should be looking for his top boss, and Chen Zhizhong, who is the same as Pingzhang, why did he go to the internal minister's room?
Not only did everyone not understand, but even Jia Ziming and Jia Xianggong didn't understand, seeing Wu Yu rushing in in a hurry, he didn't even report the door, and his face couldn't help but sink.
"Chunqing is a ruler, what kind of system is it like to be out of shape?"
Wu Yu didn't have the heart to talk to Jia Changchao about what system, and said with a sinking face: "Something happened!" ”
Jia Changchao was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
"Brother Ziming, look at this." As he spoke, Wu Yu stuffed a piece of music into Jia Changchao's hand.
Jia Changchao paused, and finally turned the cantata. According to the rules, as an internal minister, he is not qualified to read the concerto.
Just a few glances, Jia Ziming's face also fell, gloomy and frightening.
I saw that it was written on the fold: Please play for Fan Zhongyan in the matter.
"What does Fan Xiwen mean?" Wu Yu's face was solemn, and he asked impatiently.
Jia Changchao closed the recital, threw it on the table, and asked without answering, "Deng Zhou has just been here for a few days, right?" ”
"I just came in three days ago, and Fan Xiwen was still praising the government of Dengzhou and the people, and it seems that he also reported a prodigy. said that he was fourteen years old, and he did not understand Confucius and Mencius, but he knew the general trend of the world, and he would definitely be the material of the auxiliary country in the future. ”
"Humph!" Jia Chang snorted coldly. "Three days ago, I was full of energy, and I looked like I was diligent in managing political affairs; Three days later, you have to flirt with a twist? ”
When Wu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but frown deeper.
"What the hell is he doing?"
"What else can you do? He's had enough of staying down there, and he's going back to the center! ”
Wu Yu was instantly shocked, "You mean... Fan Xiwen is taking retreat as advance, and wants to force the official family to comply? ”
"That's it. The official family can't do without Fan Xiwen, how can he be allowed to resign? You know this, the officials know, and Fan Xiwen knows even more! ”
Jia Changchao continued with a wry smile: "With the official family's dependence on him, he forced him like this, and eighty percent of him really came back. ”
"He must not be allowed to come back!" Wu Yu screamed. "If he returns to Beijing, the first person to clean up will be you and me!"
Wu Yu's worries are really not exaggerated at all. When Fan Zhongyan and others advocated the initial implementation of the New Deal, Jia Changchao, Zhang Dexiang and Wu Yu all supported it. But later, seeing the huge resistance to the new deal, which was beyond human power, coupled with the efforts of the old ministers, these three actually defected.
Not only did they defect, but after Fan, Han and others were demoted from the center, Jia Changchao and Wu Yu also used their power to suppress the new political forces and drove all the new ministers to the localities. Yin Su was degraded again and again, and almost died of illness in Junzhou, that was his Wu Yu's handiwork.
Some time ago, Zhang Dexiang had just been deposed, and it was no longer enough to worry. And among the center, the most ruthless ones who offended the new ministers of the lord were the two 'traitors' he and Jia Ziming, if Fan Zhong returned to Beijing, could he be good?
"What should I do?" Wu Yu ran out of ideas.
"What else can I do? Submit it first, and see the official's reaction before making a calculation. ”
The current prime minister of the political hall is Chen Zhizhong, although he is not optimistic about the new policy, but he still respects Fan Zhongyan and his people very much. With Chen Zhizhong here, the two of them can't suppress this newspaper if they want to.
Wu Yu couldn't hear this, so he took Fan Zhongyan's report and left with anxiety.
...
When Chen Zhizhong saw Fan Zhongyan's recital, he was also very dignified. To be honest, he didn't want Fan Zhongyan to return to the center.
Although the earthquake last year ended with Fan Xiwen taking the initiative to decentralize, the two prefectures in the east and west, the six departments in the three provinces were almost changed in that storm. If Fan Zhongyan returns to the court, there will be some chaos.
However, Chen Zhizhong is not a traitorous villain, Fan Zhongyan's report is presented to the official family, so whether Fan Zhongyan returns to Beijing or not should be decided by the official family. Therefore, in the afternoon, this report was presented to Zhao Zhen.
When Emperor Renzong saw this resignation, his face was also cloudy. His first reaction was that this was not like Van Heewen's style.
I just handed over the fold three days ago, saying that everything is fine, please rest assured that the official family, and I also reported a prodigy. In just three days, you have to resign? The intent is too obvious.
With Zhao Zhen's understanding of Fan Zhongyan, he is by no means a person who plays tricks and threatens the emperor with favor. Could it be that the heart of innovation is not dead and I can't wait in the local area?
Perhaps..... Maybe he really couldn't wait anymore, so he made this decision and was in a hurry to return to Beijing.
However, he can't come back yet. Although Zhao Zhen is only thirty-seven years old this year, he is in the prime of life, but he has been sitting on this throne for twenty-four years.
From the age of thirteen to take over the throne, the queen mother listened to the government, to the twenty-four years old in the court, he has seen too many disputes between courtiers, political opinions, and party battles. The dispute between the old and the new like last year must not be repeated in a short period of time, and the key to this is Fan Zhongyan.
If Fan Zhongyan is in Beijing, it means that the emperor's heart for innovation is not dead, and it will inevitably attract even stronger opposition.
In this context, even if he relied on and loved Fan Zhongyan again, at this time, he did not dare to let him return to Beijing.
Chen Zhizhong stood in the hall, watching Zhao Zhen's face change several times, and he was also worried in his heart. He was also afraid that Zhao Zhen would be excited for a while, and really get Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing, and the court, which had just stopped for a few days, was afraid that it would be chaotic again.
....
"What does Chen Qing think?" Zhao Zhen thought for a long time, and asked Chen Zhizhong leisurely.
"The minister doesn't dare to speak up."
"But the minister...."
"There are no outsiders here, Chen Qing said it was okay."
"The minister thinks that Fan Gong can't quit, and he can't go back to Beijing!"
"Alas...."Zhao Zhen sighed slowly, and said it was equivalent to not saying it.
....
"Draw up a decree, reject Fan Zhongyan's request to dismiss the officer, promote him to a scholar of the Imperial Palace, and sentence the Suzhou matter..."Zhao Zhen finally made a specious will. As Chen Zhizhong said, you can't quit and you can't go back to Beijing.
But this message is very clear...
Chen Zhizhong shuddered, was silent for a long time, and bowed down to receive the order.
"Minister! Obey! ”
This result is neither good nor bad.
In the end, the official family compromised and did not let Fan Xiwen return to Beijing. However, the change of the sentence to Suzhou means very much.
Suzhou is located in a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the government is harmonious with the people. Sentenced to Suzhou, it has always been jokingly called a vacation and recuperation by local officials.
Since the Song Dynasty, none of the magistrates who sentenced Suzhou affairs to Suzhou were promoted to Beijing without enjoying themselves in Suzhou for two years.
The judgment of Suzhou is regarded as a signal that the emperor wants to reuse someone, and the official family lets Fan Zhongyan know about Suzhou, which is equivalent to telling Fan Zhongyan clearly, 'Don't worry, it's a matter of time before you return to Beijing, you can enjoy a while there..."
It is also equivalent to telling the world that Fan Zhongyan is going back to Beijing!
It's just that...
It's just that whether it is Jia Changchao, Wu Yuzhi and others, or an upright minister like Chen Zhizhong, or Zhao Zhen, the king of a country, no one has ever thought that Fan Zhongyan's resignation this time is serious!!
