That is, the cicada wakes up before the golden wind moves, and the sycamore tree knows autumn with just one leaf.
From the smallest details, you can smell the bloody smell of political struggle in advance.
People with less sensitivity have long been eliminated by the ruthless laws of officialdom.
In fact, after Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister, Zhang Yue became the deputy privy envoy again. Any official who was not too stupid could see Lu Huiqing's loss of power.
After Cai Chengxi impeached Lu Huiqing, the last bit of face was not left for Lu Huiqing.
The Taiwanese admonishers who have spoken out are all gearing up, and officials are also talking about it. Officials who were originally close to Lu Huiqing, such as Yuan Jiang, etc., have expressed their stance to distance themselves from Lu Huiqing privately or publicly. As for Deng Wan and others, who had long since
Hui Qing was at odds with her and immediately fell out.
After Shen Kuo, on behalf of the Military Supervisor, changed his banner and came under Zhang Yue's command, Lu Jiawen, Li Chengzhi and others also rebelled against him one after another, but Zhang Dun and others were the only ones who remained unmoved. In addition to Lu Huiqing's position of participating in political affairs, this fair deed is also special.
Tasteless.
Lu Huiqing expressed her intention to resign to the emperor Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi firmly refused. When the officials saw Wang Anshi's refusal, they did not agree.
Lu Huiqing doubted in her heart whether Wang Anshi deliberately left herself on the stage to be humiliated.
At this time, the new meanings of the Three Classics had been compiled, and the officials were very happy to have the new meanings of the Three Classics published by the Imperial College. The scholars of the Imperial College, Zongxue, and the prefecture and county schools all over the world must study and refer to it carefully.
In order to express the commendation, the officials appointed Wang Anshi as the Zuopushe and the servant of the family for his merits in writing books. Wang Yu was directly appointed as the direct bachelor of Longtuge, and Lu Huiqing was appointed as the direct scholar of Shizhong and the direct Jixian Academy.
Wang Anshi and Wang Yu both resigned from their posts, saying they did not dare to accept it.
To be honest, Wang Yu also soared to the sky, and he actually became the direct bachelor of Longtuge. The direct bachelor of Longtuge can be said to be the great dragon, second only to the privy bachelor, ranking third.
Back then, Zhang Yue defeated Mu Zheng and took over the entire territory of Hezhou, but he was just a direct bachelor of Bailong Tuge.
Wang Yu became a Jinshi six years later than Zhang Yue.
Now Wang Yu actually became a direct bachelor of Longtuge based on his merits in writing books. Even Zhang Yue had to hide his face and cry when he heard about it and said, "You are so partial as an official."
Wang Anshi also knew that the reward was too high and asked Wang Gui to help him refuse.
And what about Lu Huiqing?
Lu Huiqing accepted the official position offered by the officials. Lu Huiqing believed that these rewards were deserved.
However, in the eyes of Wang Anshi and Wang Yu, Lu Huiqing did not move forward or retreat together with their father and son.
Lu Huiqing took this opportunity to request his resignation for the third time and explained the revision of the "New Meanings of the Three Classics".
Lu Huiqing reported: "Your Majesty, my brother Lu Shengqing has apologized to Wang Anshi and Wang Yu for deleting the meaning of the Three Classics. However, when Cai Chengxi impeached my brother, Anshi did not defend my brother."
The official said: "You have misunderstood. Mr. Wang tried his best to explain it to you and your brother."
After hearing this, Lu Huiqing lowered his head and thought for a moment, could it be that Cai Chengxi's performance was instigated by someone else?
The official recalled Wang Anshi's comment to Lu Huiqing: "Don't go against others' expectations!"
Lu Huiqing was furious when he heard this. What did the emperor mean by this? Does it mean that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart? Am I, Lu Huiqing, a villain in the eyes of the emperor and the people of the world?
Lu Huiqing said firmly: "Your Majesty, please go out!"
The official said: "If you have nothing to do, why do you want to go?"
Lu Huiqing said angrily: "Your Majesty, Chen Li will do what he can, and those who can't will stop. I can't do it myself, so I ask for a stop."
"In the seventh year of Xining, Anshi left due to the impeachment of Zheng Xia. There was a shortage of people in the court, so I boldly accepted the order and refused to refuse. Now that Anshi has returned, I should ask to go. Because your Majesty has repeatedly asked to stay, I have stayed here until now.
"
Lu Huiqing had not stated before that he requested to go out because Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister. Now he has made the matter clear in front of the emperor. This means that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
The official continued to persuade him: "Is it because Cai Chengxi is your brother? This matter has nothing to do with you?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Even if it is Cai Chengxi who speaks for me, does it mean that I have no fault? Can't I ask for permission for this?"
The official said: "An Shi has returned to the prime minister. I am asking you and me to work together. Why do you want to go at this time?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, don't you see that Wang Anshi is here and his administration is different from the past? It has been repeated so many times. Who do you plan to leave it to in the future?"
The official said: "Why do you do this?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, what you have heard is not the same, you are fighting with Anshi, and you can't win. There are hundreds of officials, and there is no one to control. It is really difficult for me to speak my heart to your Majesty."
The official frowned upon hearing this. Lu Huiqing was already openly trying to sow discord between him and Wang Anshi.
The relationship between the king and his prime minister is the most difficult thing in the history.
Wang Anshi served as prime minister for seven or eight years, and the officials had indeed accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Anshi.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, which is the inevitable result of the power struggle between monarchy and prime ministership. The emperor also knows it very well. This is not a problem of Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi has no selfish motives at all, he knows it very well.
Therefore, the emperor would not allow anyone to so blatantly sow discord between him and Wang Anshi.
The official said: "Wang Anshi came back because he saw that there was something to be done for the affairs of the world."
Lu Huiqing was desperate at this moment, and made it clear to the officials what was in his heart: "Wang Anshi was uneasy when he saw that I was not doing as well as I did. I am here, and your majesty asked Wang Anshi to work together with me, but he didn't listen."
, so I am uneasy. However, today the imperial court can do things without ministers, but it cannot be done without Wang Anshi, so I beg you to go!"
The official said again: "Wang Anshi has no intention of jealousy."
Lu Huiqing said: "Even so, as long as your majesty listens to Anshi alone, the governance of the world can be achieved. If it is not fulfilled, it will not be a blessing to the country. The prime minister will distinguish the virtuous and the unworthy for the court. It is a big matter of right and wrong, and it is extremely difficult.
, to gather the resentment of the world into one body, just in case..."
The officials repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Lu Huiqing was very determined and just asked to leave, leaving the officials alone to listen to Wang Anshi.
The next day, Lu Huiqing came to Zhongshu.
Everyone in the fifth room of Zhongshu knew that he resigned to the official family for the third time yesterday, and he had shown a very determined meaning.
Lu Huiqing stood in the political hall with his hands behind his hands for a moment, looking at the seats where the prime ministers were discussing affairs, with a sad smile. He said to Zhongshu's subordinates: "Back then, the prime minister knew my talents, so he strongly recommended Huiqing to the emperor.
My position in the important position today is all given by the Prime Minister."
"Only when I, Lu Huiqing, read Confucianism did I know the respectability of Zhongni. Only when I read the Apocryphal Canon did I know the value of Buddha. In today's world, the only person I know is the Prime Minister can learn from me. Unexpectedly, I have been slandered by others, and I have lost my usual happiness with the Prime Minister.
, now I just want to be able to go out in a good way."
After speaking, Lu Huiqing touched the back of the chair with her hand, her face filled with desolation.
Everyone in Zhongshu sighed, never had they seen Lu Huiqing in such a mess.
Immediately, someone spread Lu Huiqing's words to the ears of Wang Anshi and Wang Yu.
After hearing this, Wang Anshi sighed to Wang Yu: "I have known Lu Liu for many years, and I really can't bear to hear what he said."
Wang Yu said: "Although my father couldn't bear it, Lu Liu could bear it at the beginning. Don't forget what happened to Zhang Duzhi. It was because of his benevolence that Lu Huiqing was expelled."
Wang Anshi asked Wang Yu: "Where did you hear about it?"
Wang Yu said: "I heard from my brother-in-law that Zhang Duzhi had Lu Liu's handle when he asked Su Zi to audit the Third Department. After learning about it, Lu Liu made peace with Zhang Duzhi. Afterwards, he burned the Third Department and left Zhang Duzhi one by one.
!”
Wang Anshi was silent for a moment and then said: "I suddenly remembered that when Sima Junshi left the capital, he advised me to beware of Lu Liu. He said that Lu Liu flattered blindly for power and position, which was just a temporary measure. Once he died,
If you hold a high position, you will harm me in turn."
"Now I sincerely appreciate what the ancients said, we have friendships all over the world, and we know how many people we know each other."
Wang Yu said: "Dad, please continue to recover from your illness and ignore the affairs of the court for the time being."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "It's just that Zhongshu can't put it down."
Wang Yu said: "Dad, this is a gift poem from Yuan Jiang, to congratulate the completion of the new meaning of the Three Classics, Chen Qianyu's submission to Fu Huan, and the golden pearl to the Queen Lu Gong."
Wang Anshi read Yuan Jiang's poem.
The meaning of worshiping the queen with gold beads comes from the fact that Zhou Gong worships first, and Lu Gong worships after him. It means that Wang Anshi and Wang Yu are compared to Zhou Gong and his son Lu Gong, which means that the prime minister is the prime minister.
Wang Anshi was very happy after reading Yuan Jiang's poems.
Wang Yu said: "If Zhongshu lacks participation in politics, Yuan Houzhi can make up for it."
Wang Anshi nodded, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate.
Leaving Wang Anshi's bedroom, Wang Yu met Deng Wan.
Deng Wan said: "Dalangjun, is the prime minister's condition getting better?"
Wang Yu said: "If Lu Huiqing leaves, things will be better."
Deng Wan asked: "It is true that Lu Huiqing and his younger brother borrowed money from rich people to buy land in Huating. I can make a big fuss about it. In addition, Zhang Yue, Zeng Gong, and Su Che also had Lu Huiqing impeach and Zhang Yue
, Su Che and the two have real evidence. Nowadays, there are a lot of talk about Thief Lu in the court, and it all depends on the decision of the Prime Minister and the Dalang Lord."
Wang Yu said: "Very good, very good. Zhang Yue, Su Che, and Zeng Gong are not part of our party. They also go to court to impeach Lu Huiqing. Your Majesty will surely trust him."
"You are helping me from the side. Tomorrow I will go to court to impeach Lu Huiqing."
Deng Wan happily agreed. In addition to Lu Huiqing, he also wanted to take revenge on Zhang Dun, who had always been at odds with him.
After a pause, Deng Wan said, "Do you want to report this to your husband?"
Wang Yu said: "There is no need to report. Daddy is ill. It's normal for us to tell him afterwards. Besides, Daddy can't bear to say anything to Lu Huiqing. It's not good to say it too carefully."
At this point, Wang Yu glanced at Deng Wan and asked, "Why do you think I can't make up my mind?"
"No, no!" Deng Wan said immediately and unswervingly, "The eldest man is sharp and decisive. Of course Deng will obey. My husband is in charge of major matters. There is no need to alarm him with such trivial matters."
Wang Yu nodded and said: "Thief Lu has gained a bad reputation this time. It's time to make a big splash so that he will never return to Zhongshu!"
Deng Wan heard this and asked: "After the thief Lu left, the phase was vacant..."
Deng Wan is now the censor Zhongcheng and a direct bachelor, so he is just sitting there looking at the two.
Wang Yu said: "Dad already wants to belong to Yuanjiang. Just wait a little longer. The future will be long."
Deng Wan couldn't help but look disappointed when he heard this.
…
Within a few days, Su Che, Deng Wan, Zeng Gong, Shen Kuo, Lu Jiawen and others wrote letters one after another to impeach Lu Huiqing.
Everyone inside and outside the court was shocked.
Finally the emperor made up his mind. In June of the eighth year of Xining, one month after Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, Lu Huiqing was dismissed as prime minister!
