[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Hu Zongyu, whose name is Wanfu, was born in Jinling, Changzhou. He is seven years older than Su Shi and is a good friend of Su Shi.In the original history, Wang Zhi's impeachment memorial should have been presented to the Empress Dowager in May of the third year of Yuanyou, after Hu Zongyu was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng.However, at that time, Princess Shushou's condition was turning critical and she passed away soon.Less than a month after the death of Princess Shushou, the Empress Dowager's youngest son, Prince Jing Zhao Kai, died again.The atmosphere of the royal family's successive deaths is depressing, and everyone knows that discordant voices should not come out at this time to cause trouble.In the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Chegaiting poem case stole the limelight again, so the impeachment letter was delayed until August of the fourth year of Yuanyou.

At this time, Hu Zongyu had been in office for more than a year, and he worked diligently and cooperated closely with Su Shi.Some idols endorsed Hu Zongyu, and the Empress Dowager also appreciated Hu Zongyu very much.After receiving Wang Fang's impeachment memorial, the Empress Dowager was furious immediately, saying that Wang Fang, as an admonishing doctor, not only failed to share the country's worries but framed court ministers for no reason, he should be dismissed and demoted.

Wang Zhi is the vanguard of the Shuo Party, with a rare and sharp diction. After Yuan Youchu was promoted to You Zhengyan, he sent dozens of impeachments to impeach the new party members headed by Zhang Dun, Cai Que, Han Zhen, etc., and finally made the Empress Dowager put these People were relegated one by one.With such a talent, how can the Shuo Party sit back and watch it go out and stay away from the political center?Lu Dafang immediately intercepted the Empress Dowager's instructions, implying that Zhi Zhihao should not draft the edict for the time being, and he asked Lu Gong to write it and took Liu Zhixian to persuade the Empress Dowager.

Hu Zongyu was able to walk upright and sit upright, and he himself was extremely talented. Lu Dafang's so-called remonstrance was actually just hoping to keep Wang Zhi's official position.Lu Gong's writing has always been old-fashioned, and he has the same opinion as Lu Dafang.Only Liu Zhi was inexperienced in political struggle, and he still slandered Hu Zongyu in front of the imperial court, causing the empress dowager to scold him angrily.

The conversation between these three people and the Empress Dowager was transmitted to the Chongzheng Hall, the little emperor couldn't help but sneered, and said sarcastically: "As Shangshu Zuocheng, Liu Zhi can't tolerate his colleagues, and acts narrow-minded and cruel, it's really scary!"

Murong Fu also didn't like Liu Zhi, but he couldn't help frowning when he heard the vicious and resentful words in the little emperor's words, and it took him a long time to answer: "Master Liu has always had great ambitions."

Hearing the words, the little emperor only raised his eyebrows, and mockingly said: "Could it be that Liu Zhi also wants to taste what it's like to rule the world in this official residence? From my point of view, he's not good enough!"

The maids serving in the palace didn't even dare to take a breath when they heard the words. This is the so-called "golden mouth and jade words".With the little emperor's comment, no matter how hard Liu Zhi tried his best in the future, he would never think of becoming a prime minister.Of course, this is only a theoretical statement. In fact, it is still the empress dowager's words, and the little emperor is just a decoration.

Murong Fu also didn't know how to respond to this sentence.Fortunately, the little emperor didn't need him to respond, he lowered his head and continued to read the government affairs records sent by the empress dowager.Seeing that Lu Dafang said frankly to the Empress Dowager: The reason why Hu Zongyu was impeached was because he disagreed with most of the courtiers, the little emperor immediately burst into laughter and said cheerfully: "Everyone said that Lu Weizhong was honest, but I still don't believe it." It turns out that this is really the case, if he is not an honest person, who else is honest if he can speak so frankly about the same party and the dissidents?"

Murong Fu who was reading this record with the little emperor couldn't help being silent.Lu Dafang was able to openly express in front of the Empress Dowager that he wanted to eliminate voices that were different from his own. Although he was honest, why not show his strength without fear?But after thinking about it, if the Shuo Party really had such power to call the wind and rain, why did the new party headed by Wang Anshi allow the government to control the government for nearly ten years and was powerless?Murong Fu believes that in the entire bureaucratic class, the moderate drifters will eventually account for the majority.The key to whether the court is the new party's Yiyantang or the old party's world still depends on the will of the supreme emperor.To put it simply, if the new party has the support of the emperor, the world will follow the new law and follow the new path; if the old party has the support of the emperor, the world will follow the old law and follow the ancestral system.The little emperor has always favored the new party and hated the Shuo party, so what about the empress dowager who has always been close to the old party?The Shuo Party is so rampant, how is it different from the New Party back then?Did the Empress Dowager feel any unhappiness or worry in her heart?

"Lu Gong's works are still old-fashioned rhetoric, nothing new. Worried about relegating Wang Zhi, which will damage my reputation as an admonition? I only know that there are villains like Jia Yi and Wang Gou who framed ministers with empty words in Taiwan's remonstrance. My reputation has long been ruined by these villains!" The little emperor couldn't help but hate.Lu Gong never put him in his eyes when he was a chancellor, instead he wholeheartedly flattered the Empress Dowager, but repeatedly used him as an excuse to defend the party and friends, the little emperor naturally hated him so much that he did not know how many times he cursed secretly.

"Officials, Ai's family let you see these so that you can learn how to govern, but you slander ministers behind your back, but it's not your fault!" While speaking, the Empress Dowager walked in again.This time, Empress Dowager Xiang also accompanied her.

When the little emperor and Murong Fu saw these two supreme beings, they hurried forward to salute.

After the Empress Dowager ordered the two to level up, she turned her gaze to Murong Fu. "Murong Qing, you are a storyteller for the Chongzheng Palace to remind the officials to be upright and self-cultivating. Now that you see the officials' inappropriate words but don't persuade them, isn't it just indulgence and dereliction of duty?"

"My minister is guilty!" Murong Fu saw that the Empress Dowager spoke harshly, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. "It's just... I don't know how to persuade you."

"What are you talking about?" The Empress Dowager had just had an argument with Lu Gongzhu and the other three, and it was because of the lingering anger.At this time, hearing Murong Fu's answer, she immediately patted the armrest and said coldly, "You don't know how to persuade, but how do you know how to be an official? How to be loyal?"

The empress dowager's two questions were not insignificant, even the little emperor was taken aback, knelt down beside Murong Fu and said, "Grandmother, I know I was wrong, please don't punish Murong Qing."

Empress Dowager Xiang, who was sitting by the side, also hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, calm down, it's rare that Murong Qing gets along well with the official family, and the official family has improved in their studies..."

At the same time to persuade the Queen Mother and the little emperor, the Empress Dowager's expression was a little pale, and she sighed and said slowly: "Murong Qing, the government regards you as a good teacher and helpful friend, you must not let the government down. Live your life!"

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu still knelt on the same spot without moving, he was silent for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I report to the Empress Dowager, Yuanyou Chu Wangchai was recommended by Lu Sikong and Fan Shumi, and he was promoted to be a minister. Above, Wang Zhi wrote dozens of copies of the new law, impeaching Cai Que, Zhang Dun, etc. for collusion and corrupting the government. However, in the second year of Yuanyou, Liu Zuocheng proposed to revive the official service law, but Wang Zhi said: There is no new or old law, but the good ones, We strongly advocate the restoration of the labor law."

Murong Fu hadn't finished speaking, the little emperor could not help but let out a "ha", his expression full of sarcasm.

It was when the Empress Dowager thought about it that Lu Gong said to herself with a righteous face: "I have never met Wang Zhi, and I have never recommended Wang Zhi. I have no friendship with him. What I said is all about fairness." The Empress Dowager was also faintly angry, but she was old-fashioned after all, so she only said: "Murong Qing, do you have evidence for what you said?"

Murong Fu replied unhurriedly: "If the Empress Dowager has any doubts, you can summon Qi Julang." It must be recorded.

"Grandmother, Murong Qing has always been well-read and memorized, and I trust him." Before the Empress Dowager could express anything, the little emperor couldn't wait to state his position.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly, although she did not take Murong Fu's suggestion to summon Qi Jilang, her expression was obviously relaxed. "Hu Youcheng has a lot of prestige among the officials, and Zizhan also praised him a lot for his cooperation with Master Ru. Why was he impeached?"

Murong Fu couldn't help but looked up at the Empress Dowager in surprise, and said with a wry smile: "Empress Dowager, did Prime Minister Lu tell you the reason for Hu Youcheng's impeachment?" Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to respond, Murong Fu went whispered again. "Weichen is afraid that it will be the teacher's turn next... The teacher is innocent and straightforward. Shen Cunzhong's first accusation to him made him heartbroken, and now Lu Xiang... I beg the empress dowager to release the teacher quickly." That's it!"

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the Empress Dowager's complexion sank immediately, and she shouted angrily: "Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager has gained power in politics for many years, at this moment, she was really angry, both the Empress Dowager and the little emperor turned pale, and dared not speak again persuade.

Murong Fu didn't plead for his sins and begged for forgiveness, he just fell deeply on the ground and didn't speak anymore.

After an unknown period of time, the Empress Dowager suddenly sighed quietly, and said slowly: "Your temperament is really as stubborn as Zizhan, no wonder you agree with him."

The Empress Dowager personally said that he was congenial to Su Shi, and Murong Fu suddenly felt that his face was bright, and he couldn't help saying in a brisk tone: "Back then, the teacher didn't want to accept this humble minister as a student, lest his status as a criminal official would delay his official career. Actually As long as you can get into the teacher's school, your career will be..." Halfway through speaking, he seemed to have slipped his words again, and immediately lowered his head in cold sweat and muttered. "The humble minister made a slip of the tongue, the humble minister is guilty..."

However, the superiors are always only happy when they see that they have such "innocent and pure" subordinates.The Empress Dowager was no exception, she couldn't help laughing and said: "If it wasn't for the late emperor's favor, Murong Qing would have almost been buried."

"The ranking of Weichen Provincial Examination is not high, and the princess who was able to be a high school candidate and was appreciated by the late emperor..." Mentioning Princess Shushou, Murong Fu's expression was slightly sad.He was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly, cheered up and said, "Now I have nothing else to think about, I only wish to serve the country faithfully and serve my benefactor."

Thinking of the deceased Princess Shushou, everyone immediately lost interest in talking.Seeing that the Empress Dowager closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, she ordered: "Murong Qing, you should step back first."

"Resignation, Weichen." Murong Fu responded with lowered brows, and retreated.He believes that a woman who can have four sons and four daughters with her emperor's husband, and she is the only one in the harem to give birth, and finally go to the step of listening to the government behind the curtain will not be a fool.Therefore, she must have listened to what she should have listened to.

A few days later, the imperial edict finally came down, demoting Wang Zhi as the magistrate of Runzhou.As for the vacant position of advising doctor, it was actually given to Shangguan Jun, who is also a member of the Shu Party.Then, the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict to affirm and commend Hu Zongyu's work and character to appease him.After finishing all this, the Empress Dowager took the time to summon Lu Gongzhu again, ordered people to send a lot of ginseng, and told him to take good care of his health.After returning home, Lu Gong sighed three times at these ginseng, and finally cut off the connection with Shuodang, and lived his retirement life in peace.

Amid all the turmoil, four years of Yuanyou passed unhurriedly.Just after Zhengdan in the fifth year of Yuanyou, Zhao Tingzhi, the supervisory censor, took the lead in impeaching the right minister Su Shi, a treacherous and cunning man.More old things are brought up again in the second year of Yuanyou's "trial office" examination questions to slander the emperors of Renzong and Shenzong.

When the Empress Dowager saw the impeachment memorial, she immediately scolded Zhao Tingzhi at the court, and said that he attacked court officials for no reason and wanted to dismiss him for investigation.However, Zhongshu Sheren Zeng Zhaofeng refuted the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, and the left admonishment doctor Liang Tao and You Zhengyan Liu Anshi continued to attack Su Shi in letters.Out of helplessness, the Empress Dowager ordered Su Shi to write a letter to defend herself.

Unexpectedly, Su Shi's memorial has not yet been written and submitted. In February of Yuanyou, news came from Lu's mansion that Mr. Lu had been seriously ill for a long time because he could not tolerate the severe cold.

Hearing this news, Murong Fu immediately smashed the wine glass in his hand and cursed: "Old man, he will never die sooner or later, but he will die at this time!"

The author has something to say:

Murong Fu: Old man, he never dies sooner or later, but he is going to die at this time!

Lu Gong wrote: In the past, the strong love made Xiao Tiantian, but now they have turned into enemies, and even breathing is wrong!

Murong Fu: You fucking died wrong!
