The Censorate and the Censorate immediately took action. Even if Lu Yijian had many confidants in these two departments, it would be useless. In particular, the civil forces were mobilized. Zhang Hong, a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam in Hanzhou, said, "Lu Gong has been prime minister for a long time. He was out of control at the dynasty meeting. It was not a mistake, but a heaven robbed his soul and he was about to die."

A prophecy came true. More than 10 days later, Lu Yijian suffered a stroke...

Emperor Renzong was a nostalgic person. He even missed his wife, let alone this benefactor who had protected his biological mother's reputation? He wrote an edict in his own hand, calling Lu Yijian the Sikong, Pingzhang's military and national affairs, so that he could rest assured and take care of his illness. He could enter the court once every three or five days. In addition, the emperor also cut off his dragon beard and sent someone to the Lu Mansion: My dear, the ancients said that hair and hair can cure diseases. I cut it off and give it to you, hoping that you can get better...

This made the ministers even more angry: Lu Yijian, you are today!

On January 2, 1043, Yelu Zongzhen sent Yelu Dilie and Wang Weiji to Xixia, and asked Li Yuanhao to make peace with Song.

At this time, the focus of the Song Dynasty was basically on the encirclement and suppression of Lu Yijian. Officials inside and outside the capital fought together, and there were too many people. Let’s first read the memorial of Sun Mian, the Shaanxi Transport Author.

He upgraded the memorial of Fan Zhongyan's impeachment of Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian was not only Zhang Yu of the Han Dynasty, but also Li Linfu, the traitor of the Tang Dynasty. Since he came to power, the Song Dynasty was like the Tang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty in Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, with a group of treacherous evil and foreign aggression approaching. The Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia were bullied at their doorstep. The country had never been so embarrassed. Lu Yijian was responsible for these! It is said that when the sick Lu Yijian saw Sun Mian's memorial, he said this sentence, "Sun Yuan's words of medicine and stone are just a matter of ten years later." He didn't mind, at least on the surface, showing the magnanimity of the prime minister and elders.

When Lu Yijian's generation of power ended, he would have to say a few more words:

To analyze a person, it depends on what he has done. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, Lu Yijian has not only maintained the normal operation of the imperial government for so many years, but also the most famous one is to preserve Zhao Zhen's reputation as his mother and support Zhao Zhen to beat and interfere with his wife...

This is all a private matter and has nothing to do with national affairs. The only thing that is related is the use of the Northern War and supported its old enemy Fan Zhongyan and others. Fu Bi was appointed during the negotiations in the north. This gave up private fights and was devoted to public. To be fair, this is also the highlight of his life. No matter what the internal reason is, if it is difficult for him to serve as a mission to Fu Bi and retaliate against his political enemies at the cost of national interests, it is difficult to believe that he is completely out of kindness. But he has to admit that this is good for the country!

But are these two good things enough for the veteran prime minister who has been in power for more than 10 years? Is it enough to cover the evaluation of his life? We also have to see what his daily work style is. Let’s start with something before he had a stroke:

It was during the period when Fu Bi was in Liao in July 1042. Ren Bu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, lost his official position and was sent to Heyang. Ren Bu was not very famous. He was only qualified to enter the two mansions. He had a very good personality and never asked for trouble. But one thing: people who are taciturn often have a bigger temper and have a stubborn temperament. Ren Bu was like this. He didn't mess with anyone, but he hated Lu Yijian!

After singing a stage drama with Lu Yijian several times, Prime Minister Lu got angry and decided to get rid of him. He scratched his head whenever he used any method. Because Ren Bu did not make mistakes, you could not find other people's problems. But don't be anxious, Lu Yijian can do it. He found out that Ren Bu's son was a wonderful person, his characteristic was that he was "crazy and foolish" and his IQ was stupid...

The solution is here! I will be promoted to the official position of Bu’s son first, and I am very prominent. I will enter the Zhijianyuan. Now the son is like a fish in water. Finally, if you can beat him, you will beat him! The first goal is... he! He said that his father has no talent!

I guess this kid is really sick, and he is usually arrogant and feels that he is very heroic, but his father never takes him seriously. So he is sure that his father has no talent!

Such a memorial was handed over to the two palaces, and there was only one ending - his father discovered it. Ren Bu was so angry, how could he give birth to such a son? The family scandal should not be made public, so he hid the letter privately. But the matter was not over, Lu Yijian continued to work hard and continued to squeeze at Ren's son: Someone hid your memorial, and he intended to make the emperor unable to see it!

Ren's son was furious and wrote a letter again, and he decided to find out who dared to ruin his good deeds! So he found out... Ren Bu stepped down. As for Ren's son, he was waiting for promotion in the capital! As a result, he died even more miserably. The Taiwanese controlled by Lu Yijian, the censors completely suppressed him with the crime of unfilial crimes that had been destroyed by human ethics and righteousness: He didn't even understand the faults of his father, so what else would you come out to be an official?

What kind of morality is the one who instigates the father and son to be incompatible? Even though he knows that the other party is a fool, he instigates to cut off his father. Is such a character considered despicable and shameless? Lu Yijian has this kind of virtue...

So we can define it in a general way: this person is a bad person who has not completely forgotten his husband, a good person who is not very kind. His tricks are detrimental and his mind is not broad-minded. His political enemies are suppressed by him, forming cliques, and making the upper officialdom of the Song Dynasty lively, which can basically be summarized as evil. But it is still very different from Cai Jing, Qin Hui and others later. Because he is not ambiguous about national affairs, he knows who will benefit the country and the nation...

Speaking of this, it seems that the conclusion is finalized. But it is still not enough. As a representative of the Renzong Dynasty, how can we only analyze the surface and not dig deep into the inner layer? Why is Lu Yijian like this?

A dialogue in history really shows his inner psychology. It was him and Fan Zhongyan who privately discussed the world's people. When talking about ethics and reputations, Lu Yijian sneered and shook his head, "I have seen too many people. In the real world, there is no word ethics at all."

Fan Zhongyan sighed, very helpless, "There are indeed such people in the world, but you don't know. If you treat scholars in the world with this idea, no wonder the ethical people don't come." A word revealed the secret! There is no good man or gentleman in Lu Yijian's eyes. The so-called "In the eyes of villains, there is nothing in the world that is not a villain. In the eyes of gentlemen, there is nothing in the world that is not a gentleman." He has no virtue at all, and he dares not believe in people other than himself. Instead, he uses means to restrict and use tricks to cater to others, but does not convince people with character and win with morality like Fan Zhongyan!

This is Lu Yijian's weakness, and it is correspondingly, this is Fan Zhongyan's strengths! But unfortunately, being a man and governing are two different things. Lu Yijian stood in the officialdom for more than 20 years because of his carefulness and deception. As for Fan Zhongyan's failure in the Qingli reform, he must also look for the reasons from his wide range of trust and broad mind...

Lu Yijian fell from the wild when he was sick, and the Qingli reform, which was famous for later generations, was about to begin...

Lu Yijian's stroke seemed to have made way for an era. If Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi and others could make great achievements and make those seemingly false "achievements" then his illness would be a good thing? Compared with the state and people's livelihood of the Song Dynasty, it seems that after all, human progress depends on change. But if you think about it carefully, he was still sick because at least Fan Zhongyan was not ready yet. The life flaw of the first person in three hundred years was that he took over the team too suddenly and too fast!

The impact of Lu Yijian's illness on the direction of the state government of the Song Dynasty: He was sick early, he was a perfect steward, a bridge of communication between the emperor and his ministers, he was ill when the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty were extremely serious, and too many problems before the Song Dynasty were exposed! If he was not sick, with his experienced and steady style and familiarity with government affairs, even if he could not solve all the problems, at least he would not panic when solving the problems, and there would not be any party disputes caused during the Qingli Reform...

But when he was sick, he pushed Zhao Zhen and Fan Zhongyan to the front desk, forcing these two people to solve the big problems that had been accumulated over the years and had already spread to every corner of the Song Dynasty. This was the first time for the monarch and ministers. They all had a sense of crisis and enthusiasm for reform, but they were not ready... There were too many things that happened in a hurry...

On January 24, Li Yuanhao's envoy He Congxu brought the letter of state to the security army and found Pang Ji: Our Xixia side came to the face with the greatest sincerity!

When Pang Ji opened the letter of the country, he was immediately shocked! He really didn't expect that Li Yuanhao would be so obedient. The letter of the country began like this: "A man's country, Ni Dingguo, sent a letter to his father, the Emperor of Song..." He took the initiative to be his son to Emperor Renzong of Song! Just like Shi Jingtang?

As mentioned earlier, Li Yuanhao is 7 years older than Zhao Zhen, and he has won many battles on the battlefield. Is it impeccable to ask for this? But, arrogance, there is something else behind it: "Our country has its own national name, and there is no expression style. He is called Wuzhang, just like the ancient Shanyu, Khan, etc.." It is clear that I am your son, but I must be Wuzhang, and the Western Xia Kingdom must be independent! This is not Shi Jingtang, but Shi Chonggui, who "proclaimed Sun but did not obey the vassal"?

Pang Ji was silent and thought for a long time and said, "The emperor is supreme and supreme. Your national calligraphy is not of the right form, and I will not report it to the emperor."

He Congxu was not vague and replied that our reputation was very righteous, and that our son served his father, just like his subjects served the emperor. What's wrong with this? I asked to come to Kaifeng to meet the emperor. If the emperor himself refused, I would go back and change it...

Pang Ji thought about it and then thought about it, remembering the mistake Fan Zhongyan made before. The minister has no diplomacy, okay, then I will send you to Kaifeng!

On March 21, due to being impeached on a large scale and being incompetent, Lu Yijian finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped down from the Secretariat of the Secretariat. The government began to adjust its team. From this moment until August, the superstructure of the Song Dynasty went back and forth three times:

The first time: Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang, Yan Shu, the deputy chief political affairs of Wang Juzheng, Jia Changchao, the Privy Councilor Xia Shu, and the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Ren Zhongsi, Fu Bi. On the 26th, the instructor Wang Su, Yu Jing, and Ouyang Xiu. On the 27th, Fu Bi resigned as Deputy envoy of Privy Councilor.

The second time: Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang, Yan Shu. Assistant to the political affairs of Wang Juzheng, Jia Changchao. On April 7, the deputy envoy of Privy Council Ren Zhongsi, Han Qi, and Fan Zhongyan. On the 8th, the envoy of Privy Council Du Yan (Xia Shu was dismissed). On the 12th, the instructor of the Censorate Wang Su, Yu Jing, Ouyang Xiu, and Cai Xiang. On the 22th, the envoy of the Three Divisions Wang Yaochen.

The third time to August... These changes seem to be small inflows, but those people are still slightly changed in their official positions. But the mystery lies here. The senior official level crushes people to death, and the official position is still speaking. The personnel changes above are hidden with huge crises: once the gentleman party is partly split, and the Qingli New Policy ends in failure. The previous one is mainly because of Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi transferred to the central government, and the four cavalry and infantry troops in Shaanxi deployed and appeased the recruitment and recruitment. This biggest title was sent to the number of people: Zheng Jian... After this person presided over the military and political affairs of the Northwest, he immediately gave up the

The lurking contradictions have sharpened, causing the gentlemen to start internal strife. The latter is Mr. Xia Shu, who was appointed and removed. In fact, he did not go to work. It’s not that he doesn’t want to. He is willing to do so. Anyone who dares to stop him will hold a grudge for the rest of his life! But he was impeached and driven out of the central government by the "gentlemen". Not only was the Privy Councilor unable to be the leader, but he could not even stay in Kaifeng City. He went directly to Haozhou to become an official... This man really held grudges, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others were in a mess in his hands in the future! He was also the mortal enemy of Fan Zhongyan after Lu Yijian!

It is said that although Lu Yijian was dismissed from prime minister, he still participated in national affairs as a veteran. How could this be done? So the talented censor Cai Xiang, who had just taken office, submitted a memorial, which was much more comprehensive and detailed than Sun Mian. Faced with Cai Xiang's accusations, Lu Yijian was completely silent. Because it was too ruthless and fatal. Cai Xiang said: The failure of the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, the weakness of the country, and the dispersal and incompetent governments must be held responsible by Lu Yijian! They are all because of his "planning for public self, but for personal plans." For more than 10 years, those who speak for justice were either demoted or suppressed, making all the civil and military officials of the court a waste of flattery and flattery! Therefore, once they compete with the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom, the country can only fail!

This is to characterize Lu Yijian as a treacherous minister who harmed the country and the people. Who could bear it? Lu Yijian could only leave Kaifeng City in shame... Until a year later, on September 10, Lu Yijian died of illness in Zhengzhou.

This year was a famous disaster year in the Song Dynasty. There were many kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Lu Yijian fell and the Western Xia came to ask for peace, but the troubles of the Song Dynasty had just begun.

This year starts from spring until May, when rain falls in the Central Plains, it is drought. As we all know, China is a major agricultural country. Because we have many people, people must eat their fill first. Therefore, especially in ancient times, rainwater was the most important people's livelihood and even strategic materials. But it is difficult. Rain has always been the fatal hole of our nation for thousands of years. Even in modern times, water shortage is a bottleneck restricting our development and progress. As for the reasons, there are too many: From the perspective of global climate formation, if it wants to rain in the heart of the Central Plains, it must be gathered over the local area by the cold air clouds in the northwest and the ocean heating flow along the coast of Southeast Asia. Both are indispensable. As long as we miss each other slightly in the required season, drought will occur at any time...

Of course this is just an explanation, and there are many other explanations. But in ancient times, there was only one explanation: the emperor did not learn well recently, so he would definitely waste food and clothing, be nostalgic for women, or have done something wrong, etc.

So on May 14, His Majesty Song Renzong made a special trip to Xiangguo Temple, the largest temple in the capital, and the largest Taoist temple, Huiling Temple, praying for rain. The ceremony was grand and pious, but probably the Jade Emperor was also busy with other things? Anyway, the prayer for rain was not effective, so should it be drought? Until the night of the 22nd, a faint thunder finally came from the sky...

Renzong was sleeping at that time. In the empty palace, he suddenly got up. He had no time to put on his shoes. He ran barefoot to the palace, knelt down to the vast night, and bowed to the sky 100 times! Heavy rain poured down! Emperor Renzong stood in the rain! At this time, everyone in the palace walked out and stood with him until the heavy rain stopped, and then slowly walked back to the palace...

The drought has finally been alleviated, and the harvest this year seems to be hopeful? But this is just the tip of the iceberg and I can't be happy at all. The money and food of the Song Dynasty was accumulated by Zhao Guangyi through Zhao Kuangyin's life, and Zhao Heng relied on his own and fled himself. After Liu E's slightly recovered, he was consumed and robbed by Li Yuanhao and Yelu Zongzhen and robbed him in turn. He was unable to maintain the basic operation of the government. He could only rely on the last life-saving straw of the royal family - the Neiku...

He was fishing in the waters, and he saw that the whole country was suffering from the loss and finally gained the capital of the emperor. Can you live this life again? Zhao Zhen thought about it and slashed his knife on his neck. He had to come up with a way to change it!
