Chapter Two
In the first month of the first year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing became prime minister again, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. He fought for power and profit with Zhao Tingzhi, He Zhizhong, Zhang Shangying, Zheng Juzhong, Zhang Kangguo and others. He was dismissed from prime minister again in June of the third year of Daguan, and the cause was due to the changes in the celestial phenomena.
Before Cai Jing was dismissed from prime minister, in March of the third year of Daguan, Zhao Tingzhi was dismissed from prime minister first. After Cai Jing was dismissed from prime minister, He Zhizhong and Zhang Shangying became prime minister.
However, after Cai Jing was dismissed from prime minister, his foundation was not removed. With the mediation of his confidant Zhu Jie and others, he quickly made a comeback. He became prime minister again in the second year of Zhenghe. The fundamental reason was self-evident. Emperor Zhao Ji of Song was unable to leave Cai Jing. He wanted to stop and was ashamed to refuse...
At this time, Zeng Bu had passed away in the first year of Daguan, which means that Cai Jing's biggest political enemy no longer exists.
Although Zeng Bu had been demoted by Zhao Ji, and Zeng Bu's disciple and former official, and his family were demoted from the capital by Cai Jing to prevent Zeng Bu from making a comeback, Zeng Bu made great contributions and supported the Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty. Therefore, Zeng Bu might make a comeback at any time. It was not that Zeng Bu was older. Perhaps after Cai Jing was dismissed from prime minister, he would use Zeng Bu as prime minister again. Therefore, when Zeng Bu died, Cai Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a heart disease fell into trouble.
Zeng Bu died in Runzhou. When Li Sanjian learned about it, he was also sad and sad.
No matter what, no matter what purpose Zeng Bu has, Zeng Bu was kind to Li Sanjian after all, and Zeng Bu was almost the only minister of Li Sanjian who spoke for Li Sanjian.
Therefore, when he learned that Zeng Bu died of illness, Li Sanjian paid homage to the sea by the sea on Fuzhou.
At this time, in addition to Zeng Bu's death, Han Zhongyan was also terminally ill after being demoted to Cizhou and had no chance to return to Beijing.
In addition to the two prime ministers Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan, Chen Gu, Chen Guan, Gong Yang, Zou Hao were demoted to Lingnan, and Ma Juan and other nine people were demoted to the provinces.
After Zhao Tingzhi was demoted, he became a yellow flower after autumn and could no longer compete with Cai Jing. Even his younger brother Cai Bian was demoted from the capital for fighting for power with Cai Jing.
While attacking and excluding dissidents, Cai Jing won over the court officials and won over Ye Mengde, Zhu Se, Xue Ang and others. Ye Mengde was attached to the capital and was specially moved to the imperial court. Therefore, he attached to the capital with "Shilin Yanyu" and respected the capital as "Duke of Lu"... In July of the first year of Daguan, he was promoted to the living man.
At this time, the Song Dynasty court was full of Cai Jing's party members. Only Zhang Shangying and He Zhizhong were able to compete for power with Cai Jing. However, Zhang Shangying and He Zhizhong were mediocre people. They were neither capable nor had a wide range of skills like Cai Jing. They were not as good as Cai Jing, who was as good as Cai Jing, who was not as good as Cai Jing, and who was as good as Cai Jing, and who was as good as Cai Jing, who was as good as Song Emperor Zhao Ji.
After Cai Jing returned to the prime minister again, he became more cautious, advocated the theory of Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da, selling official positions and titles, treating official titles and wealth like dirt, and encouraged Zhao Ji to spend a lot of money, and actively planned the construction of Mingtang, established Nine Tripods, and built the "Da Shengle", repaired Fangze, established Taoist temples, respected Taoism and suppressed interpretations, and built Yanfu Palace and the larger Gen Yue. This was a large-scale construction to win Zhao Ji's favor and consolidate his position.
Of course, these things were of course approved by Zhao Ji.

In the second year of the Song Zhenghe, Fuqing County, Fuzhou Road, Fuqing County, Fujian Road, Fuzhou
There is a mountain in Fuqing County called "Shizhu Mountain".
Shizhu Mountain is known as Yasheng Gu Mountain and is a famous Taoist mountain in Fujian Province. Among the mountains are Ziyun Cave, Taoyuan Cave, Tongtian Cave, Sun and Moon Cave, Star Picking Platform, Dragon Nest, Crane Shadow Stone, Mandarin Duck Stone, Chess Board, Turtle and Snake Stone, Panta Peach Stone, Cave Heaven and other natural stone scenery.
It is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
The scenery of Shizhu Mountain is centered on Lingbao Temple. The Lingbao Temple in Shizhu Mountain is also known as Jiuxian Pavilion. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the nine brothers of He clan in Fuzhou became immortals here. Later generations built Jiuxian Pavilion to commemorate it. Jiuxian Pavilion was first built in the third year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty and was rebuilt in the Song Dynasty. Lingbao Temple was built on a hanging rock cliff at the bottom of Zhuangyuan Peak. One side is against the mountain and three sides are hanging on the sky. From a distance, it looks like a tower in the sky and a fairy garden in the sky. The peaks behind the temple are rugged, green bamboos stand around, red walls and green tiles, which are elegant and quiet. The temple has Jiuxian Pavilion, Jade Emperor Pavilion, Tianjun Hall, Land Hall, etc.
Standing on the inner railing of Lingbao Temple, I went to the bottom of the mountain, and looked like a person in the clouds, feeling like an illusory fairyland.
Mountains are not high, and immortals are famous; water is not deep; dragons are spiritual!
Shizhu Mountain is not high, with the highest point being only over a hundred feet, and the rest are flat land or lakes.
Standing at Lingbao Temple, you can also see a lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake is called Shizhu Lake, also known as Carp Lake.
The water of Carp Lake is clear and you can see some fish swimming under the water, shaking their heads and tails.
There is also a strange rock by the lake of Liyu Lake. The strange rock looks very shaped like a woman holding a child, called "Mazu Fuying Stone."
Mazu Fuying Stone is Mazu Stone. According to legend, in ancient times, a family surnamed Du family had no children for more than ten years after marriage. The Du family's wife Lin was disliked by the Du family's mother-in-law, and even humiliated and abused her. The mother-in-law forced her son to divorce her wife, but her son had a deep relationship with Lin and could not bear to abandon her. Therefore, the couple washed their faces with tears all day long.
The couple had no choice but to ask Mazu and make a great wish.
Seeing that the couple was so pitiful, Mazu came to the world and turned into a female Taoist priest. She gave Lin a dose of medicine. After Lin took it, she became pregnant and was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a baby boy. But she never thought that Lin died of difficult labor. Her husband was heartbroken and left, and the mother-in-law of the Du family died of shame and anger.
Mazu felt extremely guilty, so she brought the baby who had lost all her relatives back to the sea and prepared to raise him personally.
The Mazu stone is formed naturally, but it looks very similar to a woman holding a baby. Her guilt and reluctance are also vividly portrayed. At night, when the evening breeze blows, the Mazu stone can still make a whimper, just like the Mazu Queen crying. The Mazu stone can also emit a faint green light under the moonlight, becoming a wonder of Carp Lake in Shizhu Mountain.
Mazu Stone not only left her guilt and reluctant to leave her in the world, but also left her blessings for future generations.
I don’t know when it started, but someone suddenly discovered that he worshiped Mazu Stone, that is, seeking money, seeking blessings, seeking children, and it has been fulfilled repeatedly.
As a result, this place has become the most attractive scenic spot in Fuzhou and even the entire Fujian Road. Every time Mazu's birthday, that is, March 23, a grand event to celebrate Mazu's birthday is held here to worship Mazu and pray for blessings to Mazu Stone. It can attract thousands of pilgrims and tourists in a constant stream, shoulder to shoulder.
The remote areas of the countryside gradually became rich and prosperous, especially since Li Sanjian was the governor of Fuzhou, he built roads and bridges in large quantities, and this has been even more so, benefiting the ten miles of Shizhu Mountain, and the people here are living more and more prosperous.
The same is true for the birthday of Mazu in the three-year Daguan period. Pilgrims and tourists from all over the world came to Mazu Stone of Liyu Lake early.
Early in the morning of March 23, people selling incense, candles, paper and horses, people opening restaurants, and people carrying sedan chairs, and people rushing to
Mules, horses, donkey carts, bamboo weaving houses, and even monks, nuns, Taoists, and even those who believe in Manichi gathered here early.
The area around Liyu Lake has become an extremely lively market.
"Amitabha, it depends on the blessing of Mazu. My kid's betrothal gift for marrying a wife is expected."
"Really? I think it's going to be yellow!"
"Ah? Why did this young man say that?"
"Brother-in-law, you may still understand that the government will transport the Mazu Stone away soon!"
"What? Carry out the Mazu stone? How to transport it? Where to transport it? Why do you need to transport it?"
"Hey, it seems that you are ignorant. Flowers and stone genus, ancient artifacts, mountains, rocks, flowers and plants and other rare things. As long as you are attracted by those government agencies, you will not be able to escape and will be transported away. Where will you transport it? Of course, it will be transported to the capital."
"Yes...but why do you like Mazu Stone in Shizhu Mountain?"
"Who knows? I just know that I'll flatter the emperor's old man, and I'll have to die a good death. I'll have a son but I don't have a pity."
"I know, I know, I heard that the emperor's old man opened the golden mouth and appointed Mazu stone from Shizhu Mountain."
"Fart, fart! The capital is thousands of miles away from here. The old emperor knew that there was a Mazu stone here? He knew that it was a fart? It was not the despicable slaves who did it, but just blackmailed some wealth."
"Brother, you don't know this, right? Without the emperor's old man, what dares those servants do this?"
"That's right, the emperor is really not a thing. He has a lot of money and silver at home, and he also wants to steal our Mazu Stone."
"Hey, this is the world of the Zhao family. People have to bow their heads under the roof. If he wants wealth, just give him some wealth. It is also easy to leave this Mazu stone that brings us good luck. At worst, everyone can get it together. Guys, do you think so?"
"What's wrong with the Zhao family? I'll wait for the Zhao family fish and meat, I'll still rebel against him."
"Yes, yes, I'm against him. I can't afford to eat anyway, so I'm still afraid of a bird?"
"Oh, be careful that the partition wall has ears, be careful that the partition wall has ears!
"Hmph, dogs can't change their shit and are greedy. The villagers have come together, but what's the point of taking them? They've come again in two days, so they still have to move Mazu Stone away."
"No, no matter what, they are not allowed to move Mazu Stone away today."
"Yes, yes, I moved away the Mazu Stone, but God will bring disaster!"
"That's right, right, no matter what, today, they can't be allowed to succeed. At worst, they can fight with them."
At today's grand event, the people in the towns are talking about one thing, that is, the flower and stone sect of the court.
At this time, a new flower head was raised in the court, called "Flower and Stone Gang", and a large yamen was established in Suzhou City, called "Made in the Making Bureau", which specialized in purchasing rare objects such as strange flowers and stones, famous trees and good fruits, and Yingfeng Bureau's yamen was responsible for collecting and transporting granite.
Whether it is a construction bureau or a commander, the power is too great to be overwhelmed. Not only do you have the right to collect rare things such as flowers and stones, famous trees and fruits everywhere, but you can even directly interfere and appoint and remove officials from local prefectures.
Therefore, when creating a situation, the officials in the situation are extremely domineering and do not take anyone seriously.
