I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 25: Fighter Ouyang Xiu, he wrote a memorial before anyone arrived (please read it later)
After letting go of the Yamen.

Bao Zheng and Su Liang found Du Yan, and the three of them sat together in a private room of a teahouse.

At first, Du Yan was quite tough.

Claim: I would rather hit a pillar in Daqing Hall and die than admit my mistakes and compromise.

After Su Liang and Bao Zheng persuaded him for half an hour, they stood up, bent down and cupped their hands, saying: "Dong Du, the current Zhongshu cannot live without you, just like the northwest cannot lose Fan Xiwen."

These words immediately moved Du Yan.

Du Yan knew in his heart that at present, the most suitable candidates for General Zhongshu in the court were Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi.

However, the two of them were sent away and it was impossible for them to return in the short term.

Only he can contain the sophisticated egoistic conspirators like Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen.

Early the next morning, Du Yan went to meet the saint.

Admit mistakes.

Crying bitterly.

He admits that it was wrong to withhold the edict, but he never admits that he has the exclusive power of the prime minister.

Followed by.

Zhao Zhen then called Jia Changchao, Chen Zhizhong, Ding Du and Sun Fu to Chui Gong Hall.

Du Yan and Sun Fu were ordered to apologize to Ding Du.

Ding Du was also very generous, so he didn't say anything anymore because he had gained face.

Soon, Zhongshu issued an edict.

Du Yan's handling of Zhang Shu was flawed and he was fined three months' salary to serve as a warning to others.

As for Sun Fu, he beat his colleagues first and recommended the prime minister in violation of regulations. He was sent to Dengzhou and took office later in the year.

Bao Zheng was promoted to a high position, and he was appointed to the Tianzhang Pavilion to be controlled and known as the Admonition Court.

Su Liang felt very happy after seeing this edict.

Wang Gongchen, Qian Mingyi and others were very unhappy and continued to impeach, but the memorials were ignored by the officials.

Just when Su Liang thought he could welcome the New Year safely.

The second day after the edict was issued.

Han Qi suddenly impeached Du Yan with a memorial.

Not only Bao Zheng, Su Liang and others were dumbfounded, but Wang Gongchen and Qian Mingyi were also dumbfounded.

You know, Han Qi has always supported Du Yan.

When Su Liang saw the contents of Han Qi's memorial, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Du Yan has no bones, his face is low, his body is condescending, he begs for mercy, and he is unworthy of being a prime minister. Qi does not want to be associated with him, so he begs to be released!"

When Han Qi saw Du Yan admitting his mistake, he thought that Du Yan had lost his integrity and was colluding with others.

If Su Liang had first arrived in the Song Dynasty, he would have been extremely puzzled by Han Qi's behavior.

But now he has fully understood the custom of scholar-bureaucrats as officials.

in the Song Dynasty.

Most civil servants who are determined to help the country have this urinary nature.

Regardless of gains and losses, only right and wrong are distinguished; as an official and as a human being, integrity is the most important thing.

Admit it!
Even the emperor's power cannot compare with the morality in their hearts.

Even the so-called "morality" is biased in most cases.

Han Qi supported Du Yan.

It was because Du Yan was upright and had no fault in withholding Emperor Zhao Zhen's imperial memorial.

Han Qi impeached Du Yan.

It was because Du Yan admitted his mistake without making a mistake and bowed his head for the sake of his position, so he felt shameless.

Moreover, after Han Qi's report, several officials followed suit and impeached him.

These officials are also diligent officials left over from the New Deal.

Su Liang looked helpless.

Han Qi had no idea that Du Yan was sacrificing his personal dignity for the sake of court stability.

Bao Zheng, Su Liang, and Han Qi have a normal relationship, so they cannot inform this strategy in private.

This time, Su Liang and Bao Zheng were no longer prepared to rescue Han Qi.

Han Qi had been depressed when Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others left the court, and he had long thought about being released abroad.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen was the most depressed.

In the second half of this year, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, and Sun Fu, who was about to leave the court, were enough to worry him.

Now there is another Han Qi.

He also knows that what the people call "all the sages leaving the court" is also a kind of irony to him.

But there was nothing he could do.

After three days of turmoil, Zhao Zhen and Han Qi chatted alone for half a day, and then announced that Han Qi would be dismissed from the post of deputy envoy and sent to Yangzhou to take up the post after the year.Judging from the outside world, Zhao Zhen still values ​​Han Qi very much.

Yangzhou is a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, much better than Dengzhou where Sun Fu went.

……

Twelfth lunar month 23, Xiaonian.

Tang Wanmei and Xiao Tao are already busy buying new year's goods.

Clean the courtyard, change the door gods, nail peach charms, buy new calendars, buy new clothes...

very busy.

Bianjing City also ushered in the most prosperous period of the year.

Envoys from Xixia, Liao, Korea, Jiaozhi, Dali and other countries all came to Bianjing.

Some wealthy and luxurious families from Jiangnan also came to Bianjing with their families to celebrate the New Year.

Various tiles, teahouses and restaurants are open all night, ushering in the busiest and most profitable time of the year.

Su Liang finally became leisurely.

According to the traditional rules of the Song Dynasty, there are seven days off on Yuan Day (Spring Festival) and seven days off on Lantern Festival.

For Taiwanese admonishers, unless there are temporary assignments during the Yuan Dynasty meeting, the holiday can basically start after the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

However, someone also needs to be on duty at the Yamen.

Zhou Yuan was more positive.

I got a job to supervise the order of the class during the Yuan Dynasty meeting.

Su Liang has never liked to work overtime. As soon as the 27th of the twelfth lunar month arrived, he started his vacation.

That night, he held his wife's hand and went shopping on the streets of Bianjing.

On New Year's Eve, the Su residence was brightly lit.

Su Liang, Tang Wanmei and Xiao Tao sat around the fire in the house, chatting all over the place.

In front of me, there were fruit preserves, tea and fruit wine, and two large plates of half-eaten dumplings.

According to custom, the lights in the house should be kept on all night tonight, and the vigil should be kept until at least midnight before sleeping, which means to drive away all plagues and diseases.

……

On the first day of the first month of the fifth year of Qingli.

The Great Court Meeting was held as scheduled with great momentum, fully demonstrating the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Su Liang had a low official position and did not attend the court meeting in Daqing Palace. Instead, he chose to go shopping with Tang Wanmei.

January [-]nd.

Su Liang took Tang Wanmei to Sun Fu's and Bao Zheng's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

in the evening.

Su Liang also brought gifts to the homes of Zhou Yuan, Lao Hong, Liu Chang'er and others to drink tea and drink to celebrate the New Year.

The latter also returned the gift one after another.

During the New Year of the Song Dynasty, the most lively event was not Yuan Day, but Yuan Eve, the Lantern Festival.

From the tenth day of the first lunar month, the streets of Bianjing are filled with all kinds of colorful lanterns, and various lantern and opera performances are dizzying and wonderful.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Emperor Zhao Zhen will come to Xuande Tower to watch the lanterns and enjoy the lanterns with all the people.

It was a real mountain of lights and a sea of ​​candles, and the streets were empty of people.

More than 100 million people gather together to eat, drink and have fun, which is comparable to the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

During this holiday, Su Liang also felt the superiority of scholar-bureaucrats.

If you have money and status, you can really enjoy life comfortably.

In the Song Dynasty, when you became a scholar-official serving in Bianjing, you would not envy anyone.

……

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Yushitai, Chaoyuan.

Su Liang just sat on the mahogany chair, and before he could take a sip of tea, he saw Zhou Yuan walking over.

He placed a memorial in front of Su Liang.

"Uncle Ouyang Yong will return to Beijing to report on his duties in the near future. I thought that when he came back, he would plead with the officials for the release of Deputy Ambassador Han, but I didn't expect that the memorial had already arrived before he arrived."

Su Liang took the memorial and opened it to read: "On the Strike of Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Others".

If Bao Zheng is compared to a firecracker, Ouyang Xiu is like a thunder on a summer rainstorm night.

A memorial can shock the city of Bianjing three times.

Once this warrior on the tip of the pen returns to Beijing, the court will probably be lively again.

……

According to historical facts, the memorial submitted by Ouyang Xiu was "On the Dismissal of Du Yan, Fan Zhongyan and Others", but because Su Liang retained Du Yan, the name was changed.The main context of this book is based on historical facts, but it will not be trapped in historical facts. Because of the emergence of Su Liang, history will be reversed like a butterfly effect. (To prevent blowout, hereby declare)
