In the past, the emperor and his ministers were graceful and generous, even if they discussed life and death major issues, they were elegant and elegant. Not to mention the inappropriate wording, even if the voice was louder, they would be despised! But since Empress Dowager Gao fought with the censors for Su Shi's affairs, the hall became a vegetable market. The empress dowager and the censors blamed each other through a bamboo curtain, and said high and low, and no one was convinced. Even if the prime minister Lu Gong and famous minister Fan Chunren came to persuade the fight, it would be useless...

On April, the censor Zhang Shunmin was dismissed, and the fuse was ignited again. Liang Tao, Wang Yansou and others rushed forward to support Zhang Shunmin. As a result, Liang Tao was demoted on May 17. On the other hand, Hu Zongyu was appointed as the chief censor.

Afterwards, Wang Yansou and others suddenly disappeared. The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she won. No matter how difficult it was, Su Shi would still save it! Humph! The subject is the subject, how could he compete with her? However, this happiness did not last long, because Wang Yansou and others suddenly dodged, and the focus of the quarrel shifted, and the great man came on the stage! There was no need to disrupt the situation.

The saint Cheng Yi couldn't stand loneliness, and he had a new manifestation. First, Wen Yanbo, an old minister of the four dynasties, became a typical figure. Master Wen was 8 years old at this time. This number was a terrifying existence in ancient times. Generally speaking, he could pretend to be a god at this age, but Lord Wen used his remaining energy to keep Luoyang's super mansion and insisted on being with the little emperor. He was a true companion for the king. At the age of almost 90, as long as the little emperor appeared, he would definitely bow and stand meticulously. Over time, Cheng Yi's troubles would come.

Because the saint is very self-respecting, he always sits when he teaches students... When someone asked him: Wen Yanbo is standing as a veteran of all four dynasties, is it appropriate for you to sit?

Cheng Yi has his own explanation - he is a veteran of all dynasties and must be respectful. I am a commoner and don’t respect myself. Who would treat me as a dish?

Hearing these words, many people shook their heads. A year ago, Cheng Yi and Wen Yanbo were still calling each other brothers in Luoyang, but they were merciless in the blink of an eye. The saint's heart is indeed a needle under the sea, and no one can guess...

To be fair, Cheng Yi also has his merits, such as being serious about work. He attends on time every day, does not joke, does not fight after the shift, and strictly abides by rules and regulations. This is very good, but what is so bad is that he has another principle - to emphasize himself to others.

It’s summer, and many people in Kaifeng City may have heatstroke, colds or abdominal distension. Xiao Zhezong also suffered from skin disease this time. This was really uncomfortable. He was the emperor. As long as he appeared, he had to wear a full set, but his whole body was itchy and he couldn’t wear it anyway! So Xiao Zhezong took several days of sick leave...

The saint ran away immediately after knowing it! He rushed to the curtain and raised his face and asked, "The Empress Dowager, do you know that the emperor is sick?" Gao was very surprised, "Of course I know."

"Oh, you know? Since the emperor is sick, how can the Empress Dowager be the rule alone?" Empress Dowager Gao was stunned. She suddenly found that she could not answer. No matter how tough she was, how she changed her son with her mother and her grandson with her ancestors, she was not the legal master of the Song Dynasty! The so-called rule behind the curtain, there must be two people behind the curtain, and her position must not exceed the dragon throne of the little emperor! But she was angry! Cheng Yi, you are still recommended by Sima Aiqing, who actually contradicted the Ai family like this?

The Empress Dowager was brewing emotions, and Cheng Yi had turned his gun. "Sir, Prime Minister, yes! Tell me, Lu Gong! Don't look at others, do you know your problem?" Lu Gong was a little confused. "Is there something else here?" Cheng Yi stared at him coldly. "Do you know how to be prime minister? The emperor was sick and did not go to court. Do you know? If you don't know, you are dereliction of duty! You know without greetings, you are unfaithful! You say yourself, are you dereliction of duty or unfaithful?" Lu Gong didn't say anything, no one in the hall could say anything... Cheng Yi left the hall in a majestic and humble manner that day, behind him was a happier and crying look...

In August, Cheng Yi was dismissed from the imperial rank and drove out of the capital. The saint's life in Kyoto ended, leaving behind a lot of doubts, which caused endless debate in the academic and political circles. If he really put himself in favor of others? He insisted on the truth and was meticulous, so he also asked others for the same?

It's just strange that he acted very secular when distinguishing between himself and Wen Yanbo! He knew very well how to compete for his position, but at that time he couldn't see the difference between him and mortals? Through this incident, we can see the fundamental nature of the so-called Neo-Confucianism - say one thing and do another. Be lenient to oneself and be strict with others.

Jia Yi, the number one cadre general of the Luo Party, was driven out of the capital with his master and the leader of the party. The Luo Party's power collapsed. Let's talk about Jia Yi's demotion. He bit Su Shi tightly, and Su Shi bit Su Che. Outside the second Su, the target of the target was Lu Tao, a colleague of the Censorate. How to attack? Jia Yi carefully collected Sichuan colleagues around the Su brothers, gathered some people, and summarized a loud name "Shu Party" and appeared. After Lu Tao immediately fled. On July 16, Lu Tao voluntarily resigned from his position as a censor, and even stopped staying in the capital, and applied to be transferred to another place to work. In his mind, his so-called identity of the Shu Party, and the existence of the Shu Party is self-evident, right? I'm afraid of you! If I don't play anymore, can I hide?

Jia Yi said: No! You are the Shu Party! Even if you become an official in the local area and are thousands of miles away from Su Shi, you are also the Shu Party!

Finally, some people can't stand it anymore, and there must be a limit to bullying people. Wen Yanbo, the oldest veteran of the dynasty, was the prime minister Lu Gongzhu, and Fan Chunren, the son of the famous minister of the former dynasty, came forward and advised Jia Yi to stop, just about the right time...

Anyone can satisfy such a big face? But Jia Yi didn't! He turned home and wrote the memorial, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, and Fan Chunren were all behind the Shu Party. They were stirring up the wind and rain, making the Song Dynasty uneasy...

Depressed, the biggest boss of the Song Dynasty retreated silently. They endured it, and Jia Yi would do whatever he wanted... It was strange? Why is this happening? The reason lies in the word "Shu Party"...

To be honest, Jia Yi did something epoch-making. Before this, people always said that Wang Anshi was the leader of the new party and Sima Guang was the leader of the old party. But this was just a habit, and the official did not recognize it, and the parties involved did not agree. After decades, the Qingli New Policy also raised the issue of forming a party, but after arguing, they were just explanations of terms - who is a gentleman and who is a villain? Even if Lu Tao spoke for Su Shi and raised the issue of his hometown, he only vaguely revealed some unspoken rules in the officialdom - the local community. But unexpectedly, Jia Yi took advantage of the issue and suddenly proposed the division of party!

Parties are the most taboo thing in the Song Dynasty! Whoever gets involved is to cut off oneself from human society. With Fan Zhongyan’s wise, Ouyang Xiu, and Han Qi’s power, they are also in vain! So no matter how far everyone is, they will hide, even if they suffer losses or get angry, they will refuse to play again!

Jia Yi was so happy that he reached the state of being arrogant in Kaifeng City, destroying Buddhas and killing gods. He did this with a censor, and finally made the ultimate boss unable to bear it. He used the party as amulet, and only the imperial power could punish him! Empress Dowager Gao personally ordered severe punishment! At this time, Prime Minister Lu Gongzhu said a few good words to Jia Yi, which was not worth destroying the family law of the ancestors who treated scholars and officials for a mere Jia Yi.

So on August, Jia Yi was given a lighter resignation. He was just demoted and expelled from the capital. However, after being demoted to Huaizhou, Jia Yi was still unyielding. Mr. Dongpo really didn't know what bad things he did in his previous life. He was frustrated by impeachment documents from Huaizhou. Refute it? Jia Yi was reluctant to ask for it, and the reason for the next impeachment letter was silenced. Was it even more crazy. The leader of the contemporary literary world was scolded so much that he bowed his head and said nothing. It was so frustrating! After a long time, Su Shi was exhausted, and he also asked to let him go and hide in peace.

Jia Yi's efforts finally achieved success. The so-called Shu Party collapsed and the leader left Beijing. However, in addition to his success, he also won a name for himself and his teacher Cheng Yi. The "Luo Party" ended up worse than Su Shi's Shu Party. The Shu Party and Su Zhe were in the capital. Soon after, they were promoted to the position of prime minister and became a famous minister of Yuanyou. Not only did the entire Luo Party leave Beijing, but they also offended the entire court. Until the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, there was no chance of turning around!

All the fish have been offline, and the remaining ones are the elites. During this period, Wang Yansou and his comrades have been quiet. Of course, this is just an illusion. Their attributes are unique and have been firmly occupying the dominance of the officialdom since the birth of the Song Empire. They are called "Shuo Party" and refer to the north, specifically north of the Yellow River. On this vast land, from the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, they were old bases for the literati class. Countless bureaucrats and gentry were formed. The boundless network of relationships firmly controlled the political, military and economic power of all dynasties. It was not until Wang Anshi's reform that the pattern was broken. A large number of southern officials went north, with Wang Anshi as the center, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Cai Que, Li Ding and others as backbone, and ruled the center of the Song Dynasty for 15 years. To be honest, this was an unprecedented shame and crisis for the northern aristocratic people. The monopoly of more than a thousand years was broken, and the anger of the Trustee Empire can be imagined!

At this point, it determines the essential difference between them and Luo and Shu parties! Luo and Shu parties are thinking about grudges and fighting spirit, and Shu parties want to return to the top! Therefore, Shu parties are a real powerful faction. Among them, Liu Anshi is a favorite student of the old bastard and a closed disciple. He was very arrogant when Sima Guang was alive. He was nicknamed "Tiger on the Palace" (introducing the parties in the court: Prime Minister: Elder Wen Yanbo; Second Prime Minister: Lu Gongzhu; Shu parties: Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, Wang Yansou, Liu Anshi; Luo parties: Cheng Yi, Zhu Guangting, Jia Yi; Shu parties: Su Shi, Su Zhe, Lu Tao; Non-party: Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren, Fan Zuyu)

Peak? Former Party leader Sima Guang did defeat the new party, but the effect was only weakened. He and Wang Anshi died in the same year, which offset each other. The new law is in the folk and in the officialdom, and the influence is still there. Lu Huiqing, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu... may make a comeback at any time! How can they be killed and completely eradicated? This proposition is very difficult, but it is absolutely necessary. Wang Yansou and his comrades were very patient in searching for opportunities, and their hard work pays off. When the two parties in Luo and Shu fought hard, the opportunity finally came...

The parties in the court were quarrels, and the border wars were rekindled. Whether it was the Xixia people or the Tubo people, they did not agree with the old bastard's move to return to the land. After Xiaoliang in the Western Xia, Liang Yibi, the brothers and sisters of Tubo Zanpu Aligu rebelled one after another, challenging the Song Dynasty during the Yuanyou period! In June, Aligu ordered the general Guizhang to attack Taozhou. In early July, Xixia invaded Zhenrong Army and was defeated by Liu Changzuo. On August, Xixia invaded Sanchuan Village and was repelled again. On the 8th, Zhong Yi, the younger brother of Zhongyi, recovered Taozhou and captured Guizhang alive. On September 10, Xixia invaded Zhenrong Army again. On November 1, Guizhang was taken to the Chongzheng Hall of Kaifeng Palace to commit crimes. On January 4 of the Yuanyou year (1088), Tubo Zanpu Aligu apologized and reprimanded again. On the 8th, Xixia invaded Dejing Village and was repelled.

On April 5, the elder Lu Gongzhu, like Wen Yanbo, was appointed as Sikong and Pingzhang's military and country affairs. The Left Pushe and the Minister of the Sect were actually served by Lu Dafang, and the Right Pushe and the Minister of the Sect were actually served by Fan Chunren. On the 6th, Sun Gu was appointed as the Minister of the Sect, Liu Zhi was appointed as the Minister of the Sect, Wang Cun was appointed as the Minister of the Sect, and Hu Zongyu was appointed as the Right Prime Minister of the Sect. On the 8th, Empress Dowager Gao asked Han Chuan, "There are some of the appointments of the prime ministers recently, and the outside world discussed what the outside world said." Liu Anshi replied, "These are all the people that the court hoped. Only Hu Zongyu was the only one, and the public thoughts were not allowed." Due to the repeated impeachment of the party's cadre Liu Anshi, in the fourth year of Yuanyou (1089), Hu Zongyu was dismissed. In the same month, Su Shi asked himself out with the title of "Shu Party" and was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou.

When the two parties in Luo and Shu were both defeated, the opportunity for the Shuo Party to return to its peak finally came! Historical opportunities were created by an alien in the officialdom. This alien was named Wu Chuhou, who was a very formal Jinshi, but his unique way of becoming famous was related to the fact that the emperor could not give birth to a son. In ancient times, it was definitely not a medical issue, but to a large extent a moral issue. Based on this, if Song Renzong could not give birth to a healthy son for decades, then the moral strength would be increased!
