Song Min's request to return Li Ding's prefix caused an uproar in the whole court, but what was even more surprising was that Su Song returned the prefix to Li Ding the next day.
Su Song not only returned the title saying that Li Ding was wrong, but also said that Song Minqiu was inappropriate.
There is nothing the officials can do, let alone Song Minqiu, should Su Song also be included?
After a few words of comfort from the officials, they started drafting the imperial edict again. Unexpectedly, Li Dalin, the third person to know the imperial edict, returned the prefix.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Immediately, Li Ding's incident shocked both the government and the public.
The official got angry and sent the title to Sherenyuan for the fourth time, but Su Song, who was on duty, returned it again.
The officials had no choice but to ask Su Song to discuss it, and no matter how hard they tried, Su Song still refused to comply.
The officials even threatened Su Song, saying, "You know the consequences of not sealing Li Ding."
Su Song refuses to eat soft or hard.
The officials went to Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, and after Han Jiang discussed it, they sent it to Sherenyuan again. As a result, Su Song returned the title for the fifth time.
In the end, the appointment came and went eight times, and Li Ding's official position has not yet been appointed!
Many officials were filled with admiration after hearing this. From the day Su Song refused the imperial edict, his house was filled with guests. Officials from the capital came to visit him in admiration. Suddenly, Su Song was famous all over the world.
Officials in the capital all called Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin the Sanshe people of Xining.
In the main hall, the prime ministers and officials discussed the matter.
The officials were in a panic because of Su Song's repeated refusal of edicts. Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang both remonstrated with the officials.
"Your Majesty, first the ministers Zhao Wei and Lu Gongzhu were dismissed one after another, and then the junior ministers Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, Li Chang, Sun Jue, and Wang Zishao were dismissed one after another for opposing the Qingmiao Law!"
Sima Guang then said: "Your Majesty, now that people are slandering each other, only Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing think it is right, and all the officials think it is wrong. How can your majesty think that Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing are doing the right thing?"
Man for the world?"
After listening to Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang's words, the officials were very agitated.
The official said: "I am here to discuss the crimes of Song Minqiu, Su Song and Li Dalin with you."
Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, Shiren is an official of Zhongshu. He only listens to the prime minister's decision, and I should also go with him."
Zeng Gongliang said that Wang Anshi said at the side: "I only listen to the imperial decree. When did I listen to the boss and get along with each other?"
Zeng Gongliang took a deep breath and said: "I am the one who caused this to several people. I am guilty!"
The official said: "It doesn't have to be like this."
Wang Anshi said: "Stop Su Song, Li Dalin can stop."
"How to stop the group discussion?"
"That's it, just stop it!" Wang Anshi said simply.
Zeng Gongliang said: "Have you heard that there are three deficiencies in the king's participation in politics?"
Wang Anshi said: "I don't hear it."
Zeng Gongliang said: "Nowadays, the government and the public are talking about it. The court thinks that the changes in the sky are not enough to be feared, the words of people are not enough to show compassion, and the laws of the ancestors are not enough to be upheld!"
These three shortcomings were first mentioned by Sima Guang. In the bachelor's degree examination, he summarized these three shortcomings in a series of words written by Wang Anshi when he was in power, and wrote test questions for the candidates to answer.
Wang Anshi dismissed this and argued with words.
Although he didn't say this, I have to say that the pot that Sima Guang gave Wang Anshi was really beautiful.
Top politicians kill without blood!
Did Wang Anshi mean this?
There are some.
But after Sima Guang summed it up for Wang Anshi, no matter how Wang Anshi argued, it was unfavorable.
Labeling people in public opinion is the work of people who are good at playing politics.
Wang Anshi said: "No matter what people say, Su Song and Li Dalin refused to comply with the imperial edict and arbitrarily quoted the regulations. It is absolutely unreasonable! They disrespect the imperial edict and repeat it like this, which is not tolerated by the national law. These two people must be stopped.
!”
The official nodded and said, "I agree with Wang Qing's theory!"
Seeing that the emperor and Wang Anshi had reached an agreement, Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang had no choice but to agree with Su Song and Li Dalin to leave.
Zeng Gongliang looked at Wang Anshi and asked: "Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are all the same. There are no external ministers in the House of Renyuan. Who is responsible for making imperial edicts and drafting edicts? What if there are more imperial edicts?"
After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, it is Tsinghua University's choice to make imperial edicts. Ci ministers are so valuable that it has always been difficult to win people. We must not treat them lightly."
Sima Guang came forward to prevent Wang Anshi from arranging people randomly again.
Li Ding can arrange a censor with any candidate. If Wang Anshi appoints another party member to Zhizhigao, it is not impossible. At present, the second-ranking figure in the royal party is Lu Huiqing. If Lu Huiqing is promoted to Zhizhigao,
Okay, then the royal party is not so arrogant as to soar into the sky.
Fortunately, Lu Huiqing is not yet under arrest.
In terms of priority, he cannot be ranked.
In the Song Dynasty, there were nearly a hundred people waiting to be appointed as officials, sixty or seventy in Beijing, nearly fifty people as second-level officials or above, and more than thirty in Beijing.
Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin left one after another. Zhizhigao's seat was suddenly vacant for three people. Who would fill it?
Is Wang Anshi's purpose in urging the dismissal of the three Zhizhigao to install his own people?
But Wang Anshi said: "This matter is not difficult. You can just order the officials to sacrifice themselves directly in the courtyard according to the ancestral stories."
During the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, most foreign officials were from Zhongshushe or Zhisheyuan.
It seems more reasonable to change the name of Zhishe Renyuan to serve as a foreign official than Zhizhigao. Moreover, Zhishe Renyuan not only does not need high-ranking officials to serve, but also does not need to pass the bachelor's college examination. Otherwise, Sima Guang, as a Hanlin bachelor, would definitely give the candidate recommended by Wang Anshi.
Brush it down.
Comparatively, the requirements for the imperial examination are too high. Not only do you need to be a Jinshi or a high-ranking scholar, your official position should be above Zhengyan and below Zhongzhong, you must be a postgraduate student, and most importantly, you must pass the bachelor's degree examination.
In other words, this position requires not only official approval, but also unanimous approval from the academicians.
How difficult it is to become a master of imperial edicts, and we can see that Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are really tough.
The prefix "Feng Huan" means to give someone an errand and dare to challenge the imperial power. Therefore, when selecting officials for imperial edicts, the academy always selects officials with strong character.
Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang both vocally opposed Wang Anshi's proposal of Zhishe Renyuan.
The officials were completely obedient to Wang Anshi, but for some reason they did not agree with Zhishe Renyuan.
He also suggested that it be better to elect a few officials who know the rules and regulations to take office.
Everyone discussed for a while, and the first official to be recommended was Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang was very senior, but his attitude towards the new law was in between. He supported the reform of Taixue and the exemption law, but he was opposed to the Youth Law.
His student Sun Jue also opposed the Qingmiao Law.
However, Wang Anshi opposed Chen Xiang's appointment. The reason he proposed was that both Chen Xiang and Sun Jue were affiliated with the Party and wrote by Lu Gong.
At this time, Zeng Gongliang came out and said: "Your Majesty, I propose one person!"
After listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, Wang Anshi frowned.
But I heard Zeng Gongliang say: "I asked Tianzhang Pavilion to wait for Zhang Yue!"
Zeng Gongliang said that the officials were silent for a while.
After listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, the official asked: "Zhang Yue is suitable, but is it too early?"
Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "It's not too early, Xia Wenzhuang knew how to make imperial edicts at the age of thirty."
"Xiang Lu, Duke Yang Wen, Duke Yan Yuan and Duke Xuan, and now the princes and governors of Xuanhui, Gongchen, are all twenty-eight-year-olds who know how to make imperial edicts!"
"Wang Yigong was twenty-seven, and Su Shilang (Su Yijian) was the youngest. He knew how to make imperial edicts at the age of twenty-six!"
