Song Min's request to return Li Ding's prefix caused an uproar in the whole court, but what was even more surprising was that Su Song returned the prefix to Li Ding the next day.
Su Song not only said that Li Ding was wrong, but also said that Song Minqiu was inappropriate.
There is nothing the officials can do, let alone Song Minqiu, but Su Song too?
The official comforted him with some kind words, and then started drafting the imperial edict again. Unexpectedly, Li Dalin, the third person who knew how to make the edict, returned the preface of the imperial edict.
Suddenly Li Ding's incident shocked the government and the public.
The official got angry and sent the title to Sherenyuan for the fourth time, but Su Song, who was on duty, returned it again.
The officials had no choice but to ask Su Song to discuss it. No matter how hard they tried, Su Song still refused to comply.
The officials even threatened Su Song and said, "You know the consequences of not sealing Li Ding."
Su Song refuses to eat hard or soft.
The officials found Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, and after Han Jiang discussed it, they sent it to Sherenyuan again. As a result, Su Song returned the title for the fifth time.
In the end, the appointment came and went eight times, but Li Ding's official position has not yet been appointed!
Many officials were filled with admiration after hearing this. From the day Su Song refused the imperial edict, his house was filled with guests. Officials from the capital came to visit him in admiration. Suddenly, Su Song was famous all over the world.
Officials in the capital all called Song Minqiu, Su Song and Li Dalin from Xining Sanshe.
In the main hall, the prime minister and the officials discussed the matter.
The officials were in a panic because of Su Song's repeated refusal of edicts. Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang both remonstrated with the officials.
"Your Majesty, first the ministers Zhao Wei and Lu Gongzhu were dismissed one after another, and then the junior ministers Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, Li Chang, Sun Jue, and Wang Zishao were dismissed one after another for opposing the Qingmiao Law!"
Sima Guang then said: "Your Majesty, now that people are slandering each other, only Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing think it is right, and all the officials think it is wrong. How can your majesty think that Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing are doing the right thing?" Man for the world?"
After listening to Zeng Gongliang, the officials were very irritated by Sima Guang's words.
The official said: "I am here to discuss the crimes of Song Minqiu, Su Song and Li Dalin with you."
Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, Shiren is an official of Zhongshu. He only listens to the Prime Minister's decision, and I should also go with him."
Zeng Gongliang said that Wang Anshi said at the side: "The people in the house only listen to the imperial edict. When did they listen to the boss and get along with each other?"
Zeng Gongliang took a deep breath and said: "I am the one who caused this to several people. I am guilty!"
The official said: "It doesn't have to be like this."
Wang Anshi said: "Stop Su Song, Li Dalin can stop it."
"How to stop the group discussion?"
"That's it, just stop it!" Wang Anshi said simply.
Zeng Gongliang said: "Have you heard that there are three deficiencies in the king's participation in politics?"
Wang Anshi said: "I don't hear it."
Zeng Gongliang said: "Nowadays, the government and the public are talking about it. The court thinks that the changes in the sky are not enough to fear, people's words are not enough to show mercy, and the laws of the ancestors are not enough to be upheld!"
These three shortcomings were first mentioned by Sima Guang. In the bachelor's degree examination, he summarized these three shortcomings in a series of words written by Wang Anshi when he was in power, and wrote test questions for the candidates to answer.
Yawenba
Wang Anshi dismissed this and defended it with words.
Although he didn't say this, I have to say that the pot that Sima Guang gave Wang Anshi was really beautiful.
Top politicians kill without blood!
Did Wang Anshi mean this?
There are some.
But after Sima Guang summed it up for Wang Anshi, no matter how Wang Anshi argued, it was unfavorable.
Labeling people in public opinion is the job of people who are good at playing politics.
Wang Anshi said: "No matter what people say, Su Song, Li Dalin refused to comply with the imperial order, and still quoted the regulations arbitrarily, which is absolutely unreasonable! It is absolutely unreasonable to disrespect the imperial order and repeat it like this. How can the national law tolerate it? These two people must be stopped. !”
The official nodded and said: "I agree with Wang Qing's theory!"
Seeing that the emperor and Wang Anshi reached an agreement, Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang had no choice but to agree with Su Song and Li Dalin left.
Zeng Gongliang looked at Wang Anshi and asked: "Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are all in charge. There are no external ministers in the House of Renyuan. Who will know how to make imperial edicts and draft edicts? What if there are more edicts?"
After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, I know that it is Tsinghua University's choice to make imperial edicts. Ci ministers are so valuable that it has always been difficult to win people. We must not give people the right to be qualified."
Sima Guang came forward to prevent Wang Anshi from arranging people randomly again.
Li Ding was able to arrange for the censor to be appointed by any of his candidates. If Wang Anshi arranged any other party members to know how to control the imperial edict, it would not be impossible for him to do it. Currently, the second most powerful person in the royal party is Lu Huiqing. If Lu Huiqing is promoted to Zhi Zhigao, then the royal party will not be so arrogant.
Fortunately, Lu Huiqing is not yet under arrest.
In terms of priority, he is still not ranked.
In the Song Dynasty, there were nearly a hundred people waiting to be appointed as officials, sixty or seventy in Beijing, nearly fifty people as second-level officials or above, and more than thirty in Beijing.
Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin left one after another. Zhizhigao's seat was suddenly vacant for three people. Who would fill it?
Wang Anshi advocated the removal of the three Zhizhigao, was it to install his own people?
But Wang Anshi said: "This matter is not difficult. You can just order the officials to sacrifice themselves directly in the courtyard according to the stories of our ancestors."
During the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, most foreign officials were from Zhongshushe or Zhisheyuan.
Zhisherenyuan seems to be more justified than Zhizhigao serving as an external official. Moreover, the Zhishe Renyuan not only does not require senior officials to serve, nor does it require passing the bachelor's degree examination, otherwise Sima Guang, as a Hanlin bachelor, would definitely reject the candidates recommended by Wang Anshi.
Comparatively, the requirements for the imperial examination are too high. Not only do you need to be a Jinshi or a high-ranking scholar, the official position should be above Zhengyan and below Zhongzhong, you must be a postgraduate student, and most importantly, you must pass the bachelor's degree examination.
In other words, this position requires not only official approval, but also unanimous approval from the Hanlin Academy.
How difficult it is to become a Zhigao, and we can see that Song Minqiu, Su Song, and Li Dalin are really tough.
The prefix "Feng Huan" means to be given an errand in the affairs, and to dare to challenge the imperial power. Therefore, when selecting officials for imperial edicts, the academy always selects officials with strong character.
Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang both vocally opposed Wang Anshi's proposal of Zhishe Renyuan.
The officials were completely obedient to Wang Anshi, but for some reason they did not agree with Zhishe Renyuan.
He also suggested that it be better to elect a few officials who know the rules and regulations to take office.
Everyone discussed for a while, and the first official recommended was Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang was very senior, but his attitude towards the new law was between two sides. He supported the reform of Taixue and the exemption law, but he was opposed to the Youth Law.
His student Sun Jue also opposed the Qingmiao Law.
However, Wang Anshi opposed Chen Xiang's appointment. The reason he proposed was that Chen Xiang and Sun Jue were both party affiliated with Lu Gong.
At this time, Zeng Gongliang came out and said: "Your Majesty, I propose one person!"
After listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, Wang Anshi frowned.
But I heard Zeng Gongliang say: "I asked Tianzhang Pavilion to wait for Zhang Yue!"
Zeng Gongliang said that the leaders were silent for a while.
After listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, the official asked: "Zhang Yue is suitable, but isn't it too early?"
Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "It's not too early, Xia Wenzhuang knows how to make imperial edicts at the age of thirty."
"Xiang Lu, Duke Yang Wen, Duke Yan Yuan, Duke Xuan, and Duke Gongchen of Xuanhui are all twenty-eight-year-olds who know how to make imperial edicts!"
"Wang Yigong was twenty-seven, and Su Shilang (Su Yijian) was the youngest. He knew how to make imperial edicts at the age of twenty-six!"
The official asked: "How old is Zhang Qing?"
