Chapter 11 The Letter to Fu Que

"Li Gang is the minister in the court who is brave and does not care about his duties and responsibilities to the world. He is the so-called minister of the country. He is mediocre, untalented, jealous, wise, capable, and does not care about national affairs. Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Qi are the so-called thieves of the country."

"Your Majesty has been appointed as the ministers of the country and abroad for less than a day. He is a minister of the country and abroad. He knows that Your Majesty can appoint the virtuous. He denounces the time but does not use it, and knows that Your Majesty can get rid of evil. However, he has not been appointed but has not been appointed but has not been removed. He has been reprimanded and has been promoted again. Why is Your Majesty still unable to give up the virtuous? Now that he has heard that he has stopped his duties, I am surprised and suspicious, but I have no idea why."

“...............”

Xuande Gate is the main gate of the palace city of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, Song Dynasty. It was called Mingde Gate in the early Song Dynasty. It is composed of the main city gate, two buildings and two palaces.

The tall palaces of Xuande Gate are not only a place to show the supremacy of imperial power, but also a place to show the "monarch and people's happiness" in the Song Dynasty.

Early in the morning that day, outside Xuande Gate, there were students from Tai Academy kneeling. Hundreds of Tai Academy students were lying outside the palace and recited the memorial in unison. This is the so-called "Fukou to write a letter".

The person who was in charge was Chen Dong, a student of Tai Academy.

The so-called "Fu Que" is the petition of the above books, commenting on current affairs, etc. The students of Song Tai were the subject of resignation from the classics and the way of governing the country, so they paid attention to the affairs of the court and actively participated.

Of course, the subject of Tai students’ writings is different, mainly due to righteous indignation, but some Tai students also have other purposes.

One is vanity. Some Tai students only rely on external rumors to wishfully use letters to influence the government affairs, and strengthen their momentum to gain the reputation of being frank. This is also a arrogant vanity mentality. You should know that Tai students have always claimed to be the Censorate without an official.

The second is the speculative mentality. The purpose of Tai students participating in politics is to maintain Confucianism's orthodoxy and their independence in participating in politics. However, many Tai students participating in politics go against it and show a speculative mentality. By writing letters to the court, they attract the attention of high-ranking officials in the court and even attract the emperor's attention. If they succeed, they will be of great benefit to their career. Even if they fail, they can gain a reputation. Even if they have no hope of career, they can live a very relaxed life with this reputation.

As for the reason why he was disgraced or even killed, it would be a different matter. Even if he was killed, he could win the reputation of a loyal and upright minister, and his reputation was comparable to that of Bi Gan. Qu Yuan, some people were willing to accept it and followed him as much as they could.

The most important thing is that since the Song Dynasty, the ancestors' law was to rule the world with scholars and officials, not kill scholars, not kill scholars, and not kill those who advised them. This was the national policy of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, those who spoke fiercely and even spoke ruthlessly in the past were often removed from their official positions, dismissed their fame and fortune, and at most they were exiled.

The Song Dynasty court opposed and prohibited the writings of the Que.

At present, Chen Dong and other Tai students wrote letters mainly to inspire righteous indignation. The reason for this was that Emperor Zhao Huan of Song Dynasty dismissed Li Gang and Zhong Shidao.

Chen Dong, whose courtesy name is Shaoyang, was from Danyang, Zhenjiang. He entered school at the age of 17 and 27 or 28. He was still an eleven student in his thirties and had not yet entered the official career. He was depressed and unsuccessful.

This is not the first time Chen Dong wrote a letter to the Que. When Emperor Zhao Huan of Song ascended the throne, he was in danger of the current situation and joined forces with other parties to revive the court.

The Tai student wrote to the court, asking the six thieves, including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie and Li Yan.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie, Li Yan and others committed evil deeds, and the current internal and external troubles and the country was in a sluggish state, which of course caused anger among the Song Dynasty and the country. Emperor Zhao Huan of Song also dismissed Cai Jing, Zhu Xie, Wang Fu and others in response to the public's opinion.

Zhu Xie was released into the fields; Wang Fu was demoted to the governor of Chongxin Army and placed in Yongzhou. On the way to Yongzhou, he was killed by Wang Fu, who had a feud in Yongqiu. Nie Chang entrusted to say that he was killed by the thief. Li Yan was given death, and his family was deprived of his family. Cai Jing was in charge of Nanjing as a secretary and was demoted to Chongxin, deputy envoy of Qingyuan Army and lived in Hengzhou, and moved to Shao and Danzhou. Liang Shicheng once had kindness to Zhao Huan, so Zhao Huan did not want to move.

However, he was unable to calm the anger of the court and the country, so he hanged Liang Shicheng to death on the way to play with the Jin man Song jewelry. Tong Guan was led by the army and protected the emperor Zhao Ji, so he did not touch him for the time being, but Tong Guan was already declining at this time and his future was dim. As for Li Bangyan, he was also promoted by Zhao Ji, but Li Bangyan was able to quickly greet the new emperor and abandon the emperor, so he was highly valued by the new emperor Zhao Huan.

The reason is that in addition to following the public opinion, Zhao Huan intends to suppress the power of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Jie, Li Yan and others are all Zhao Ji's confidant ministers. Only when Zhao Huan is cut off all his wings will Zhao Huan be able to hold the throne firmly.

Li Sanjian was also the confidant minister of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, but Li Sanjian was completely different from Cai Jing, Zhu Xie and others. Li Sanjian was incompatible with them, and the fight with them was well-known all over the world. At the same time, Li Sanjian was famous all over the world. When Zhao Huan was the crown prince, he heard and witnessed it. At the same time, Li Sanjian was almost always an official outside, so Zhao Huan did not touch Li Sanjian, and Li Sanjian escaped because of this, but no one could tell what would happen in the future.

As for the "members of the country" mentioned by Chen Dong and others, Li Sanjian did not mention Li Sanjian first married Cai Que's daughter, and Cai Jing's fake daughter was his wife, and Cai Que and Cai Jing's real son-in-law, and later took Li Bangyan's sister as his concubine, and became the real son-in-law of the traitor Li Bangyan.





So Chen Dong and others automatically classified Li Sanjian as the treacherous party. As for what Li Sanjian did in the past, he once tried to seek justice for the people, angrily killed Zhao Han, and ruled for the people, angrily beat those who were in the court, wrote a memorial to the court, requesting to behead Cai Jing, Zhu Jie and others, and thus fell into trouble, but they chose to forget them.

If you don’t know others, unless you are alone, Li Sanjian also took the daughter of the teacher as his concubine. They also knew that it was just a disgusting thing. Relying on power, he forced the daughter of the old husband as his concubine. The concubines he took were all as beautiful as immortals, which was even more infuriating.





Chen Dong and others did not include Li Sanjian as a treacherous party in the memorial, which is worthy of Li Sanjian.





"Please restore Li Gang and Master Zhong!"

"Please kill Li Bangyan, Bai Shi's average!"

Before the Song Xuande Gate, hundreds of students from Chen Dong and other students from Tai Academy buried their letters. The soldiers and civilians in the city rushed over and heard the news. More and more people came, hundreds of thousands of people unexpectedly. In a blink of an eye, the palace had already gathered in a stream of people. For Li Gang, the voice of Zhong Shidao's grievances shook the sky, and the huge shouts were shocking the earth and extremely tragic.

Seeing that the matter was getting worse and worse, the imperial guards in the palace wanted to come forward to stop it, but they were timid and dared not move forward, which aroused public anger. The unlucky one was the one who was unlucky first.

Hundreds of thousands of people, one person can drown them with one spit.

"The traitor is out!"

"Ah? It's him, it's him!"

"Quick, hurry, catch him and don't let him run away!"

At this moment, Li Bangyan, the chief minister of the Song Dynasty, stepped out of the palace, and just looked at the crowd, they were recognized by the people, so they surrounded Li Bangyan in the middle.

Li Bangyan was caught off guard and was immediately frightened and wanted to retreat to the palace, but it was too late.

"What do you want? The truth is..." Li Bangyan insisted on calming down, put his hands on his hips and asked everyone loudly.

"Bah..." Before Li Bangyan finished speaking, a mouthful of thick phlegm was pressed on his eyes, causing Li Bangyan to be covered with thick phlegm, and there was a foggy area in front of him.

"Bad Prime Minister!"

"How dare you call yourself prime minister by selling your country and seeking honor?"

"I don't know what kind of prime minister you are who bows to the Jin thief."

"But for being a vulgar prodigal son, he dares to stand tall in the temple?"

"The dog and animal who shakes their tails and begs for mercy is a hundred times better than you!"

"Being both a prodigal son and a traitor, what are you facing as the prime minister?"

At that time, Li Bangyan was frivolous and had no character. He claimed that he wanted to reward all the flowers in the world, kick all the footballs in the world, and be the officials in the world. He was ridiculed as a "prodigal son prime minister". Now Li Bangyan insists on ceding land and collecting coins for peace, but he is actually a traitor in the country, so everyone is extremely angry.

Everyone surrounded Li Bangyan and scolded loudly. Some people even grabbed Li Bangyan's clothes, some pulled Li Bangyan's hair, some twisted Li Bangyan's ears, and asked loudly, cursing angrily. The thick phlegm was also pasted on Li Bangyan's face and body, like a pot of thick porridge pouring on Li Bangyan from head to toe. Some people picked up bricks, rubble, rotten vegetables, and so on and smashed Li Bangyan's body.

"Your Majesty save me...ah? Save me quickly!"

Li Bangyan was hit by bricks, rubble, rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, etc., and broke free from it in a dizzy way. He was forced to enter the palace by several followers.

As the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, how could there be few followers around him? Li Bangyan was desperately slapped into the palace by his entourage, but everyone was reluctant to leave, so they pushed open the palace gate and rushed into the palace, trying to capture Li Bangyan and beat him to death.

The imperial guards in the palace tried desperately to stop the angry crowd, but they could not stop the tide.

After everyone rushed into the palace, they covered the entire palace like mercury, and searched for Li Bangyan everywhere.

Li Bangyan looked back and saw that his entourage had been chased by the people, had been beaten to death and stepped on to death. He was immediately frightened and lost his soul, his face was as bright as earth. He was chased by everyone and ran around. He turned a corner and ran into Qisheng Academy.

A woman's sedan chair was parked in Qisheng Courtyard, frowned, and thought about it. So the premiere of the Song Dynasty plunged into the woman's sedan chair and hung it on the window of the sedan chair with a piece of yellow silk as a curtain.

The dignified prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Bangyan, hid in the women's sedan chair, thus escaping the disaster.
