Empress Dowager Gao seemed to know what would happen after her death, summoned some important officials who had been demoted from the court and re-arranged them to important positions, such as Su Shi and Fan Chunren. This was the last guarantee she left to protect the ideal society she had created.

Regarding her, the last point I want to talk about her burial specifications. As the Empress Dowager, her tomb should have been a garden tomb, but it was built into a mountain tomb. That was the qualification that the emperor had. Her burial objects were made of pure gold, while Song Yingzong and Song Shenzong only used gilding. Gao always praised himself during his lifetime, and the most proud thing was frugality...

More than a month after Empress Dowager Gao's death was the quietest day in the Song Dynasty in nearly 10 years. There were no fights, no slander, no blacklist, no faction, and the political air shrouded over Kaifeng City was transparent... The long-lost fresh and quiet finally appeared again. What a wonderful day, it was finally broken by the old party members...

In October, the two fairy brothers Lu Tao and Fan Zuyu wrote several memorials, expressing their anxious and anxious mood. As for the reason, it was because the little emperor was too quiet.

Lu Tao's memorial said: Hello Emperor, what have you been thinking in the past month? I guess you can't figure out anything, so I pointed out two points: 1 No matter who you want to appoint or what you want to do, you must consider it from the national interests. Regarding the great Empress Dowager, she is our flawless sun. Even if she falls, you cannot doubt the glory she once had. I suggest you learn from Emperor Renzong. When Empress Dowager Liu passed away, he ordered no one to discuss the right and wrong during the Tiansheng period, which ensured the stability of the court and maintained the dignity of Empress Dowager Liu. At the same time, he also created Renzong's own name as a filial son. This is what you should do as you think and think...

The memorial was sent in, and Song Zhezong continued to be quiet...

This is amazing? Brother Fan, please continue to go on. If you don’t agree, you will be punished! After Fan Zuyu wrote several memorials in October, the situation suddenly changed. At the end of the month, Song Zhezong issued his first life since he took power [31 Novel Network] order to re-offend 6 eunuchs including Leshixuan. In November, Fan Zuyu immediately grasped the new focus and started with this matter! He said: Hello Emperor, you have been in power for almost a month now. Everyone in the world is watching you. You have not implemented a good policy or visited a wise man, but promoted the eunuchs around you. This will make people in the world gossip you. Can you pay attention?

Song Zhezong continued to keep quiet...

Fan Zuyu is furious: I ask for the eunuch to be recovered!

Song Zhezong was still quiet...

Fan Zuyu was determined to end, and he asked for a face-to-face advice and made it clear to the emperor in person!

This time Zhezong agreed and gave Fan Zuyu the opportunity to speak in person. Fan Zuyu is worthy of being an elite surviving the struggle. After meeting, he immediately threw the eunuch aside and talked about the issue of consensus reached by the entire old party group and unanimously concerned about - how to suppress the new party group and guard against all possible dangers!

Fan Zuyu used his skills as the greatest master of history among the living people, and comprehensively recalled everything that happened in the 15 years from the Xining reform to the Yuanfeng reform, and discussed the treacherous nature of every senior executive of the reform school from Wang Anshi to Cai Que and Zhang Dun. The long and exciting discussions were discussed. After talking for a long time, he found that Song Zhezong was still quiet...

The time is up! He had to leave. He couldn't pick up Song Zhezong's collar and ordered the emperor to shout together that the reformists should be damned?

When the news spread, the old party was confused. What was the little emperor doing? It was really shocking to be so quiet. But it was also very likely that he had nothing to do, because he was the same as Empress Dowager Gao when he was alive. He was always very quiet... In the quiet, some people became loose, and some people began to pack their luggage and prepare to flash people!

Those who survived the struggle had unique premonitions, especially those who had been fought, such as Su Shi, who felt that the danger was approaching step by step! He had a right premonition. Soon after, Song Zhezong began to reopen the officials of Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu and other new party members. The resumption of officials was not to restore the original official position at once, but to rise little by little, from idle "Preface" positions with only salary and no power. For example, Zhang Dun was promoted to Dongxiao Palace in Hangzhou as a scholar of the Zizheng Palace, and only presided over a Taoist temple, rising from this basis, giving a little real power...

However, Su Shi immediately decided to retreat at this level! He wrote a letter of resignation and demanded to be released. Zhezong agreed. Before leaving, Su Shi wrote a memorial. This memorial is very famous in history. Because it has been recognized throughout the ages, Su Shi said it too rationally, too patiently, and too realistic. "... Your Majesty was extremely wise, too wise, and in the spring and autumn, and I am willing to be humble and follow the principles, without doing anything, silently observe the benefits and harms of common affairs, and the evil and righteousness of the ministers. For three years, wait until the reality is achieved, then

Do things according to things, so that after doing things, there will be no hatred in the world, and your majesty will not regret it." It means that Emperor, you are a super genius, and your age is at the best stage. I hope you will give up your arrogance and follow the principles, and before doing nothing, you will first observe the development of things and the nature of your ministers. You must observe for three years, wait for you to see clearly, have a clear mind, and then find a good opportunity to work. In this way, after you do it, the people of the world will not have resentment, and you will not regret it yourself...

Now let’s change our perspective, from the perspective of Song Zhezong—

Regarding Lu Tao, two points he put forward were contemptuous to Song Zhezong. Since taking power, I have said nothing and did nothing. Why do you suspect that the new party will re-enter the stage? It is national interest to open and keep silent. It seems that only the old party can represent the national interests. On the contrary, if you quote the new party, it will ruin the national interests? Who gives you the only right to determine? Are you the emperor or I the emperor? The second point makes people even more unbearable. With the actions of Empress Dowager Gao for more than 8 years, I have already suffered from it.

It's okay to pursue it. You actually asked me to come forward and suppress the voices demanding liquidation? It's unbearable! What's especially excessive is that in order to achieve your goal, you also brought up the example of Renzong's reign against Liu E. This is simply absurd! Did Liu E change the national policy of Emperor Zhenzong of Song? The only thing she abolished was the worship of gods in the Zhenzong era. Through these two points, you can clearly sort out Lu Tao's little thoughts. Without the new party, respecting the noble Empress Dowager, if this point is achieved, the old party will be invincible!

After analyzing this, Song Zhezong was already quite well-educated to be able to remain silent...

Regarding Fan Zuyu, the eunuch question he raised looked very righteous and bright, but there was insider information. First of all, it was to pay attention to the reinstatement rather than promotion. This difference is very important, which means that these eunuchs were demoted before. Who was demoted? Only Empress Dowager Gao? The matter was clear. These eunuchs offended her, and Song Zhezong was eager to reward them, proving that what happened was that they offended Empress Dowager Gao because of the little emperor... Are those who are loyal to the emperor not loyal ministers? Why can't they be commended?

The answer is no! According to the truth standards adhered to by the old party, all eunuchs are villains, they cannot be close to them or rewarded! If you really want to reward, you must be ranked behind us "righteous gentlemen"! This theory seems good, at least the past history has proved that eunuchs are really monsters. After they become stronger, ministers, emperors, generals, and the country will die ugly! Therefore, they must be suppressed and cannot give them good faces!

But this is exactly what Song Zhezong was most angry about! The eunuch was not good, but the eunuch was loyal to me. You ministers were good, but what did you do?

As we all know, Song Zhezong respected his father very much, and he continued his life along the footsteps of his father. At the same time, he also loved his mother, like every son in the world, hoping that his mother would be healthy, happy and honorable. But he could not do this. Under the suppression of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao and the old party ministers, he not only could not continue his father's career, but also could not protect his mother's due rights!

Zhao Xu's mother's surname is Zhu, from Kaifeng, was born in an ordinary family, and her father was Cui Jie, and she died very early. Her mother took her to remarry Zhu Shi'an, so her surname was Zhu. The Zhu family didn't know these, and even had a vague impression of the Zhu family. Because she was still in childhood, she was fostered in a family named Ren Tinghe... Once she lost her biological father, her stepfather was unwilling to raise a girl around her. She was born beautifully. What would her fate be? It's very simple, almost no exception - marrying out early. Fortunately, Zhu "marries" into the palace. It is not standard to say that marriage is actually just an attendant and a servant without status. However, according to Article 1 of the palace law, the emperor has legally infringed on all women, and he can even put a little bit of a verge on his marriage, right?

By chance, she was "invaded" by Song Shenzong, and her fate changed accordingly. She became pregnant. The child was Song Zhezong Zhao Xu. From then on, the mother was noble for her son, and she gradually gained status in the chaotic and strict harem. Later, she gave birth to King Cai Zhao Si, several princesses, and became a noble lady with stable identities...

The identity has changed drastically, but Zhu's thoughts are not much. Song Shenzong has many sons, and Zhezong is only the sixth son. With such a ranking and her own humble background, she can't think of anything at all. I hope it will kill people. As long as her son is healthy and the prince's title is steadily obtained, she will be content. But life is only in the trend, who can dominate her own destiny? Before Shenzong's death, Zhao Xu's five brothers all died of illness, and Zhao Xu thus became the first heir to the throne...

When Song Zhezong ascended the throne, Zhu's status was lowered as the emperor's biological mother. Empress Dowager Gao used to be a domineering daughter-in-law, but now she is a fierce mother-in-law. She has gained the truth from her experience back then. If she wants to dominate the harem, she must suppress every enemy, even if it is potential! Zhu was the first to be the one who was not given a title first!

Zhu was supposed to be the empress dowager, but she only gave it to the imperial concubine. The empress dowager is the main palace of Song Shenzong. She was from a famous family and her granddaughter named Xiang Minzhong. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Gao, Xiang was not threatened, and she had first been convinced. The second Xiang had no son, and she was destined to have only people who have no future. It was a perfect match to use her to suppress Zhu!

Here are the specific methods of suppression:

The ministers suggested that Empress Dowager Gao approved that during the death of Emperor Shenzong, the imperial concubine would have to mourn, clothes, mattresses and other supplies should be light in color. Every year on birthdays and regular New Year holidays, the grades of the items and crowns and clothes were reduced by 1/5 compared to the Empress Dowager. When traveling, only a blue umbrella can be used, and a shoulder carriage can be used for the Empress Dowager's standard configuration of the six dragon carriage is not allowed. The monthly fee is mixed with other concubines, and it is not allowed to stand alone. The palace name is not allowed. The Xuande Gate is not allowed to go alone. After the New Year, red umbrella can be used, but yellow is still not allowed to be used. Five dragon carriage can be used, and Xuande Gate is not allowed to go alone!

Xiao Zhezong could only watch these from a distance. Not only could he not change them, but he could not even comfort his biological mother. Every day, he would not be able to attend classes and sit in court, but he would live with Empress Dowager Gao when he returned to the harem. It was difficult for him to meet his biological mother!

Why don’t you care about these things? Even you are all caused by your hands. You are still in the same way as having the face to talk about loyalty and rewards in front of me?

As for Su Shi, he was the one who surprised Song Zhezong the most. There is a rare kind of person in legend. Everything they say makes people feel that it makes sense and very reasonable at the first time, but when you think about it, you will be so angry that your face is full of veins. This is what Su Shi's memorial is like.

You have to think twice before doing things, and you can only start after you have figured it out... Is there anything wrong with this? Yes! Very wrong! In Song Zhezong's view, it is simply incredible and absurd!

If he was the emperor on the first day and had never been involved in government affairs, the ministers' requests were not excessive. But for more than 8 years, he watched coldly and saw too many people and things clearly. He saw the faces of ministers. May I ask: People are still these people, continue to see what they can see after the New Year? Will they change? If they change, it proves that they are different from before. Are people who are inconsistent before and after suitable for being leaders of the country? If they remain unchanged, is this a pure waste this year?

And the length of the year is even more vicious. Years are enough to change too many things, especially young people who are in the youth adaptation period. They do nothing for three consecutive years. They will get used to lazy days and want to cheer up again, which is equivalent to changing their thinking habits. Not everyone can do it (spoiler in advance: Song Zhezong's life is only more than 6 years old)

Su Shi's memorial did not reply, and Song Zhezong did not comment. This left a very bad record in history, and most historians proved based on this: Zhao Xu was frivolous and frivolous, an ignorant child, and failed Su Dongpo's kindness...

In January, Su Shi left. He was the first minister of Yuanyou to voluntarily escape from the capital. When he thought that this would bring him safety, he was telling everyone: I won’t play anymore. Unfortunately, he forgot what he has done in the past nine years, and some people will not forget it. And history has proved time and time again: those who choose to leave the field in the face of a fight will die more miserable than those who fight to the end!
