Prime Minister

Chapter 628 How old is Zhang Qing?

Song Min's request to return Li Ding's title caused an uproar in the court, but what was even more surprising was that Su Songfeng returned the title the next day.

Su Song not only sealed the letter but also said that Li Ding was not, and also said that Song Min's request was not right.

The officials have nothing to do, just Song Minqiu, and even Su Song?

The official said a few words of consolation, and then drafted the edict, but the third person who made the edict, Li Dalin, also sealed and returned the title.

Immediately, Li Ding's incident shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

The officials got angry and sent the word head to the family home for the fourth time, but Su Song, who was on duty, sealed it back again.

The officials had no choice but to ask Su Song to discuss it, but Su Song still refused to follow suit.

The officials even threatened Su Song that if you don't seal Li Ding again, you will know the consequences.

Su Song refuses to eat.

The officials approached Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, and after discussion with Han Jiang, they were sent to the Sherenyuan again. As a result, Su Song returned the word 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 admired him very much. From the day when Su Song refused the imperial edict, there were many guests in his house.

The officials in the capital all called Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin the people of Xining Sanshe.

In the main hall, the prime minister and the ruling party all discussed this matter.

The officials were embarrassed by Su Song's repeated refusals. Both Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang remonstrated with the officials.

"Your Majesty, the ministers Zhao Wei and Lu Gong were dismissed first, and then the ministers Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, Li Chang, Sun Jue, and Wang Zishao were dismissed for opposing the Green Miao Law!"

Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, now that there is a lot of slander, what the Department of Regulations does, only Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing think it is true, and all officials think it is wrong. How can your majesty judge Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing?" Man for the world?"

After hearing what Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang said, the officials were very upset.

The official said: "I am looking for you to discuss the crimes of Song Minqiu, Su Song and Li Dalin."

Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, Sheren is an official of Zhongshu. He only listens to the prime minister's division, and the ministers should be with him."

Zeng Gongliang said, Wang Anshi said from the side: "The housekeeper only listens to the imperial decree, when did the prime minister divide it?"

Zeng Gongliang took a deep breath and said, "It's the minister who caused this, and the minister is 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 discussion?"

"That's all, the two of you are on your own!" Wang Anshi said bluntly.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Wang participated in politics, did you hear that there are three shortcomings?"

Wang Anshi said, "No."

Zeng Gongliang said: "Now the government and the public are talking about it. The court thinks that the change of the sky is not enough to fear, the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic, and the laws of the ancestors are not enough to abide by!"

These three deficiencies were first mentioned by Sima Guang. During the bachelor's college examination, he summed up these three deficiencies in a series of words from Wang Anshi when he was in power, and gave examinees answers to them as examination questions.

Wang Anshi dismissed this and argued with words.

Although he didn't say this, it has to be said that Sima Guang gave Wang Anshi such a beautiful pot.

Top politicians kill people like this!

Does Wang Anshi mean this?

There are some.

But after Sima Guang summed it up to Wang Anshi, no matter how Wang Anshi argued, it was unfavorable.

Labeling people in public opinion is what people who are good at playing politics do.

Wang Anshi said: "No matter what people say, Su Song and Li Dalin are not in line with the imperial edict, and they cite the regulations arbitrarily, which is absolutely unreasonable! Slightly insulting the imperial edict, repeating it like this, the national law does not tolerate it. These two must be dismissed." !"

The official nodded and said, "I agree with Wang Qing's theory!"

Seeing that the emperor had reached an agreement with Wang Anshi, Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang had no choice but to agree with Su Song and Li Dalin.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Wang Anshi and asked: "Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are all gone. There are no external ministers in the Sherenyuan. Who will know the edict and who will draw up the edict? If there is another edict?"

After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, it is Tsinghua's choice to know that edicts are made, and ministers are so valuable that it has always been difficult to win people, so we must not treat people lightly."

Sima Guang's performance was to prevent Wang Anshi from arranging people indiscriminately.

Any candidate from Li Ding could be appointed as the imperial censor, and if Wang Anshi installed some party members to know the order, it would not be impossible for him to do so.At present, Lu Huiqing is the second person in the royal party. If Lu Huiqing is promoted to Zhi Zhi Gao, then the royal party will not soar into the sky.

Fortunately, Lu Huiqing is not yet on standby.

In terms of order of precedence, he is not yet ranked.

In the Song Dynasty, there were nearly 70 officials waiting for the system, 50 in Beijing, nearly 30 officials above the two systems, and more than [-] in Beijing.

Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin left one after another, Zhizhigao's seat was suddenly vacated by three people, who will fill it?

Wang Anshi advocated the dismissal of the three intellectuals, was the purpose of inserting his own people in?

But seeing Wang Anshi said: "This matter is not difficult, you can order officials to go straight to the people's court from the ancestor's story."

During Taizu Taizong's time, most of the external officials were Zhongshu Sheren or Zhishe Renyuan.

Zhishe Renyuan seems to be more legitimate than Zhizhigao's role as an external official.Moreover, Zhishe Renyuan not only does not require high-ranking officials to be appointed, but also does not need to pass the bachelor's college examination, otherwise Sima Guang, who is a Hanlin bachelor, will definitely reject the candidate recommended by Wang Anshi.

Comparing with Zhizhi, the requirements are too high. Not only do you have to be a Jinshi or a high-ranking candidate, and you must have an official position above Zhengyan and below Shizhong, you must have served as a repairman, and the most important thing is to pass the Bachelor's College Examination.

In other words, this position requires not only official approval, but also the unanimous approval of the academicians of the Academy.

How difficult it is to become Zhizhigao, it can be seen that Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are really strong.

Sealing and returning the word head is to give an errand to the job, and dare to challenge the imperial power and power, so the academy selects officials with strong bones when selecting edicts.

Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang spoke out against Wang Anshi's proposals from the Zhishe People's Court.

The officials were obedient to Wang Anshi, but they didn't agree with Zhishe Renyuan for some reason.

He also proposed that the front line choose several officials who knew the patent to take office.

Everyone discussed for a while, and the first official to be elected was Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang's qualifications are very old, but his attitude towards the new law is also in between. He supports the Taixue reform and the exemption law, but he is opposed to the young crop law.

His student Sun Jue also opposed the Green Crop Law.

However, Wang Anshi opposed Chen Xiang's appointment. The reason he put forward was that Chen Xiang and Sun Jue were both written by Lu Gong attached to the party.

At this time Zeng Gong came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I propose one person!"

Hearing Zeng Gongliang's words, Wang Anshi frowned.

But I heard Zeng Gongliang say: "I invite Tianzhang Pavilion to make Zhangyue!"

Zeng Gongliang said that the chief executives were silent for a while.

After hearing Zeng Gongliang's words, the officials asked instead: "Zhang Yue is suitable, but it's too early?"

Zeng Gongliang said with a smile: "Not long ago, Xia Wenzhuang knew the patent at the age of 30."

"Lu Xiang, Yang Wengong, Yan Yuan Xiangong, Xuan Xiangong, and today's Xuanhui envoy Prince Gongchen all know how to make the patent at 28!"

"Wang Yigong is 27, and Su Shilang (Su Yijian) is the youngest. He will know how to make a patent at 26!"

The official asked: "How old is Zhang Qing?"
