One Piece of Song Dynasty

The development of the situation was exactly as Meng Yuezhi expected. Li Gang's dismissal quickly aroused strong reactions in society.

On February th, Chen Dong, a student of Taipei University, led hundreds of students to Xuandemen again and wrote a letter requesting that Li Bangyan be dismissed and Li Gang and Zhongshi Dao be reinstated. Although this memorial is very long, the language is relatively simple. It is appended below for appreciation: "I heard that the one who appoints virtuous people and does not doubt them, and eliminates evil without doubting them is the master of the country. Those who work hard without caring about their own lives and live and die, He is also a minister of the country. Those who are envious of the virtuous and good, hinder their performance and harm the capable are also the thieves of the country.

Your Majesty, the Emperor Gongwei, is wise and sagacious, uniquely wise, able to distinguish between good and evil, and tacitly judge the difference between good and evil. He is respected by the world as the master of the country. As for the ministers in the court, who worked hard to serve as the most important person in the world regardless of their own lives, Li Gang was also the so-called minister of the country. Those who are mediocre and incapable of talent, who are jealous of the virtuous, who seek personal gain, and who do not care about the national interests, are the disciples of Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Zhe, the so-called thieves of the country.

Your Majesty had absolutely no doubts, and he took the position in the prison of the Qing Dynasty. Within a day or two, he was appointed as the governor. I know that your majesty can get rid of evil spirits when you rebuke them but don't use them. However, he has been appointed but has not been dedicated to it, he has been rebuked but has not been dismissed, he has been restored to the position of state minister, he has been restored to the position of state minister, and the rest have been promoted. Why is it that your majesty has not been able to appoint virtuous people, but you have not been able to do so, and you have not been able to eradicate evil.

Now I hear that Li Gang has been dismissed from his post again, and the officials are shocked and suspicious. They don't know why, this will be squeezed by Bang Yan and others. Gai Gang started as a common official and took charge of important affairs alone. Bang Yan and others were as ill as enemies, fearing that he would succeed. The ministers and others heard that Gang was using troops during the competition, and occasionally there was a small disadvantage. Bang Yan and others took advantage of the opportunity and blamed Gang. However, a victory and a loss are common in military strategists. A small victory is not enough to be happy, and a small setback is not enough to be humiliating. He is showing timidity and weakness, and he is planning a secret plan. How can he suddenly use this to influence the ministers in charge?

When I heard that Bang Yan and Shi Zhong had tried to persuade Your Majesty to be lucky, how could I sincerely try to cover up His Majesty's plan? When Shi Zhong and Bang Yan first saw that there was police on the border, they had all sent their relatives to other posts except those close to the party, and sent their families to go away with them. How could he, as a minister, not take the trouble of a family to die in the country? His intention was to flee in a hurry to save his wife and children. The people in the capital were in a commotion and couldn't live in peace. As soon as I heard that the ministers advised your majesty that he was lucky, he was so fierce at home and abroad that he did not dare to protect himself. If Gang had not advised His Majesty at that time, the public opinion would have spread far and wide, and the ancestral temple and the country would have become the ruins of Qiu, and all living beings would have been devoured. Your Majesty would be known as the one who abandoned the ancestral temple and the country, and how could he regain the world?

Your Majesty Lai is smart and does not confuse the opinions of others. He is determined to follow his holy will and specifically follow the outline. When people at home and abroad heard about it, no matter how foolish men or women were, they all raised their hands and raised their foreheads in admiration for the prosperity of his holy virtues. The strength of the outline is not a small supplement. It is suitable for the state, Yan and others to slander, jealousy, and attack everything.

The ministers and others met with Bang Yan and others to serve the Supreme Emperor. They enjoyed high titles and generous salaries for the longest time. They sat back and watched the world's ruin, but were not willing to say a word to make up for it. As for Wang Fu, Tong Guan, and Cai You working together to build the Northern Army, everyone in the world knows that it is impossible. The emperor decided to make a decision, but Zheng Zheng was in the middle and fought hard, thinking that it could not be done lightly. As for Wang Anzhong, he strongly praised Wang Fu and carried out his campaign. Bang Yan and others had to hear about this discussion, and they had to ignore it. In fact, they were all secretly helping Wang Fu to cause today's disaster, causing the emperor to avoid the throne because of his guilt.

Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne, and there is a sudden danger of chaos. Bang Yan and others should take the blame themselves and ask for demotion to thank their father. But at this critical moment, I still dare to be complacent, hold on to my salary and hold on to my position, sit in the way of the virtuous, and again avoid being jealous of the virtuous and harming the country's plans. Gai Bangyan first advocated peace talks, and also promised to cede territory, which would humiliate the country. Today's desires will inevitably lead to wrongdoings, and we will be blamed for being greedy, fortunately, we will miss a little, and our karma will be frustrated. If Your Majesty listens to his words and refuses to use them, the survival of the clan will be uncertain. If the captives really wanted to make peace, then after peace, they would still dare to attack our capital, plunder and massacre our territory. The nature of dogs and sheep is that if they are anxious, they will wag their tails, if they are slow, they will jump over the beam, they will be submissive and then rebellious, and they are full of tricks and tricks. I know that today's country is in dire straits and cannot be supported. I heard that His Majesty trusted Li Gang and knew that he was destined to be destroyed, so his request for peace must be even more intense. But Bang Yan and others were able to use the excuse to defeat Li Gang, and Li Gang was dismissed. As soon as the dismissal was announced, the scholar-bureaucrats lost their countenance, the soldiers and the people were in a commotion, and they shed tears to mourn each other, thinking that they would be captured soon. This is to depose Li Gang, not only to fall into the plans of Bang Yan and others, but also to fall into the plans of the captives.

I heard that the imperial court wanted to increase the number of mules, horses and other items, but they were pretending to be bandits to steal grain. I also heard that Bang Yan and others still insisted on the previous proposal and wanted to cede territory to them. I never knew that it was very difficult to obtain the land of my ancestors. Moreover, Hebei is the foundation of the imperial court, and the three passes and four towns are the foundation of Hebei. If the three passes and four towns are abandoned, that is, Hebei, then the imperial court can regain the capital of Daliang, or even Luoyang, or even a county like Taiyuan. It can only be obtained by the personal conquests of Yizu and Taizong. The reason why the ancestors must take it is because it can control the two captives and overlook Chang'an, which is only a few hundred miles away. Now that Taiyuan is abandoned, the capital of Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, is already under its watchful eye, and the imperial court can safely go to the capital of this place, which is why our ancestors attached great importance to the two rivers. Since the dynasties of Zhenzong and Renzong, the northern captives have requested to cede territory, and the imperial court has increased the amount of money to satisfy their desires. As for the land, I would not give it an inch. Inherited from one another by saints, we commemorate the difficult achievements of our ancestors and cherish the country's vital places, which we cannot bear to abandon.

At the beginning of your Majesty's reign, Bang Yan and others wanted to abandon the territory of their ancestors. I don't know what kind of master you are waiting for. I don't know if Bang Yan and others will be able to restore the invincibility of the captives after ceding more than ten counties to the north of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian. The alliance is afraid that the blood has not yet dried and they have already led their troops southward.

Since the capital cannot be reached from Daliang to Chang'an, it will be moved to Jinling, and the imperial court will not have access to it from the north of the Yangtze River. Kuang Jinling is worried about the death of Tong Guan, Cai You, Zhu Meng and others. Although he wants to move to the capital, he can't. Where will your majesty lay the ancestral shrine? Moreover, Baozhou is the place where the ancestors' tombs are. Once they fall into the barbarians, they will be killed. After being exposed, the length of the country is not at stake. Bang Yan and others tolerated the evil, but their intention was to relieve the current urgent situation, not for the country's long-term plan; they also only wanted to thwart Li Gang's plan to gain personal anger; they were also afraid of Li Gang's meritorious service. After accomplishing this, I realized that I had made mistakes in my previous discussion and that my fault was to blame, so I tried my best to suppress it, hoping that I would definitely win.

I think that Bangyan and others are by your Majesty's side. Every time he talks about Li Gang's use of troops, he will pretend to be frightened and speak of danger, in order to frighten your Majesty. If you want your Majesty, your Majesty will listen to his plan and harm Li Gang. Since Gang suffered repeated promotions, Bang Yan and others knew that they would not be able to settle down in the imperial court, so they recommended the introduction of private parties to block His Majesty's way of using Li Gang. As for Wang Xiaodi, who is also Bang Yan's in-law, he must do his best to exclude Li Gang to help Bang Yan. In Taiwan, there are also many people like Bang Yan and others who are admonishing. The day before yesterday, Bang Yan and others invited the two supervisors of the Imperial Academy to meet with them. After hearing about the wine sacrifice, the Xie Ke family removed the remonstrating ministers, and the grandson of Siye met face to face to remove the censor. The ministers are studying and preparing to see this. Everyone is dissatisfied. How can the emperor want to use the officials of ears and eyes? The prime minister summoned him in advance to collect personal favors. His intention is

I think that in today's remonstrance, His Majesty rarely said a word to show that Li Gang was innocent. Gang was alone and helpless. The ministers and others secretly claimed that today's imperial court is not isolated due to special principles, but Bangyan and others are self-involved and unwilling to serve His Majesty with their heart and soul, fearing that Your Majesty will also become isolated. Extremely chilling

The whole world knows that Li Gang can be of great use. Please tell me one or two things for your majesty: There was a flood in the capital in a few years, and the ministers and officials in charge were all fighting to seize the boats or build wooden weirs as a way to avoid the water. At that time, Bang Yan and others were all in the court, and they never heard of anyone working for the emperor, nor did they hear anyone talk about disasters. Du Gang's generosity is as mentioned above, but he was expelled by traitorous ministers and was not used for several years. The day before yesterday, when the border report arrived, all the prime ministers' flesh and blood were out of the capital, but Du Gang's wife and children had not yet moved. Your Majesty, at this time, you are deeply concerned about the north, but none of the ministers on the left and right come to ask for your Majesty. Du Gang is willing to take charge of it. Gang's intentions can be seen. How can your Majesty believe in the tactics of friends and evil, and criticize the upright people?

If the troops in the gang are slightly defeated, they should be abandoned, and Tongguan will create a gap to cause today's disaster. Recently, hundreds of thousands of troops have been recruited to fight in Yunzhong, and few of them are as good as horses with only wheels and no return. The imperial court had not discussed the crime of Guan Guan, so why did Li Gang increase the crime after a small setback? It was like asking for peace with the captives, and then wanted to thank the captives for the crime. All in all, I was deceived by advancing and retreating. It was very light in the outline, but very important in the court. The safety of today's clan is in danger. This is a single move. Fortunately, His Majesty immediately rebelled against his previous orders and resumed his old duties in order to put peace of mind at home and abroad, and was never frustrated by objections.

In the past, Marquis Wen of the Wei Dynasty ordered General Leyang to attack Zhongshan. At that time, he was dissatisfied, and there was even a box of slanderous letters. When the sheep returned with success, Marquis Wen issued a letter to inform him. The sheep then paid homage to the inspector and said, "This is not the merit of the ministers, it is the power of the emperor to appoint talents." Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty was unsuccessful in his battle with Cai Shu, and the officials asked him to withdraw his troops. Zong said: "With one victory and one loss, the military strategist will always be in good shape. If the division always wins, then there is no need to worry about the use of troops in ancient times. But it depends on the bravery and timidity of the commanders and the strength of the troops. How to deal with it. Once defeated, it will be defeated." So left and right cannot be tolerated. In the meantime, Pei Du asked himself to supervise the battle and defeated the Cai thieves. A historian once said: "It is not so difficult to defeat the thief, but to let it be so difficult." Therefore, Han Yu praised Xianzong's achievements and said: "All Cai's achievements can only be achieved by breaking them off." This is where Xianzong was called the master of Zhongxing. , It's a pity that Qifuke died.

I hope that your majesty will learn from what happened in the previous generation, take the example of today's dissenting ministers, work hard and make decisive decisions, and reuse Li Gang to achieve great success. The clan is very fortunate that I have considered your majesty's plan today. It is better not to criticize Bang Yan and others and follow the plan. . I thought that Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong would definitely work with Gang, and I was even more willing to issue an edict quickly, calling Xu Churen, Tang Ke, etc. to be on the right and left, and not to worry about external affairs, I would do my best to cultivate teachers and make them specialize. The ministers of generals and ministers at home and abroad will be willing to assist Your Majesty with all their heart, and he will do a lot for the world.

I and other scholars in the school are not as elegant as Gang Yan, and they are strangers to Bang Yan and others. Therefore, I must advise Your Majesty to go to Gang and withdraw from Bang Yan and others. Is there any reason for him? The fate of living beings and the survival of the clan depend on whether His Majesty should use it or not, whether he should help Yan or not. The public opinion in the world is like this. How dare you, the ministers, remain silent? If your majesty thinks that the words of the ministers are not enough to win your trust, please call the elders in the Royal Tower to ask questions, call the soldiers to ask questions, call the traveling merchants to ask questions, and ask the envoys of all officials and gentlemen. In other words, it must be said: The outline can be used, but Bangyan and others can be criticized. Your Majesty must be careful when using it. The ministers, using their humble clothes as commoners, to talk about the prime minister and ministers, are guilty of a crime worthy of death. They risked the power of heaven and bowed down to await the punishment of their crimes."
