Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Return the political edict!"

When Empress Dowager Gao's edict to return power spread throughout the three divisions, the civil and military officials were suddenly shocked. No one thought that Fan Zheng had actually persuaded Empress Dowager Gao.

The civil and military officials personally verified it and couldn't help but look at each other. This was indeed the edict written by Empress Dowager Gao. The conservatives who followed Empress Dowager Gao suddenly felt cold in their hearts and knew that the situation was over.

"The Empress Dowager had long wanted to return the government to the officials. She was just worried that the officials would be young and unable to grasp the major affairs of the country, so she deliberately set up a series of tests. The officials did not disappoint him. Only in this way can the country be revitalized. Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng said seriously.

The faces of other important ministers twitched. When they went to persuade Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Dowager Gao did not have this attitude.

"The Empress Dowager has good intentions and the officials are wise and powerful. They are really a blessing to the Song Dynasty." All the ministers suddenly realized in coordination, and there was harmony in the court.

"The Imperial Grandmother is devoted to the country, has worked hard, and has been kind to me in nurturing me. Even though she returns to power, I cannot treat her badly. I specially order her to move to Qingshou Palace to enjoy her old age, and order the Imperial Hospital and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to unite for the Imperial Grandmother. Send famous doctors to treat the imperial grandmother with all their heart," Zhao Xu said.

"The doctor obeys the order!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I once remembered that Mr. Gao once wrote that the maternal bloodline is equal to the paternal bloodline, and the Gao family is also my relative. I specially gave Mrs. Cao the title of Lady of Lu. Gao Shixun and Gao Shilin were posthumously named kings. Gao Gong Both Hui and Gongji were promoted to the second level, and the other descendants of the Gao family are all kind."

Zhao Xu once again issued an order to reward the Gao family heavily and pursue a large number of titles. However, it seemed grand in name, but in fact it was all in vain. Even Gao Gongji and others were promoted to the second level, but they were promoted openly and secretly, and they no longer held power. .

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Empress Dowager Gao was kind to them. If Empress Dowager Gao had just returned to power, it would obviously be difficult for them to accept the official liquidation of the Gao family. Everyone is happy with the current situation.

"The Empress Dowager is very old and loves her son very much. She allows Huainan Jiedu Envoy Zhao Hao to return to Beijing once on the birthday of the Imperial Grandmother to fulfill her filial piety."

………………

Zhao Xu's series of rewards and actions made all the officials in the court secretly praise him. Even Liu Zhi and Zhao Tingzhi could not fault him.

"The official is benevolent and filial!"

Baiguan said with a moved expression.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. In addition to being talented, the ministers who can be ranked in the court must also have acting skills. Yesterday, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty accused Zhao Xu of being unfilial. Now that Zhao Xu has gained great power, everyone in the court praises the officials. Benevolence and filial piety.

"Reporting to the official family, the imperial censor, Zhao Tingzhi, allowed his son to commit murder and secretly coerced and induced the boatman to give false testimony. His morality is not worthy of him!"

"Wei Chen impeached Liu Zhi, a bachelor of Guanwen Palace...

Yang Wei, the censor, took advantage of the situation, figured out Zhao Xu's holy will, and used all his firepower to impeach the die-hard conservatives who followed Empress Dowager Gao.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand. He could be open to the Gao family, but he showed no mercy to these followers of Empress Dowager Gao. He had clearly forced the palace, but these people actually intended to let Empress Dowager Gao continue to listen to politics behind the curtain. Now that he had the power, he naturally wanted to liquidate them. .

"Liu Zhi, a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, was demoted to Guanglu Qing and knew Huangzhou."

Liu Zhi was shocked and sighed. Guangluqing and Zhihuangzhou were able to save some face for him.

"Censor Zhongcheng failed to abide by the law and in memory of his hard work, he was demoted to deputy envoy of Xinzhou Tuanlian."

But Lu Dafang was not so lucky and was directly demoted to the bottom. Xinzhou is the land of Lingnan, where Cai Que was originally exiled.

Zhao Tingzhi's heart trembled, and he quickly looked at Lu Dafang for help, hoping that Lu Dafang would save her again.

Lu Dafang ignored Zhao Tingzhi's look for help. If he hadn't acted according to the opportunity, he might have been liquidated.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to first drive King Yong Zhao Hao out of Kaifeng on behalf of the officials, and then took the initiative to express his support for Zhao Xu's pro-government. Not only did he remain standing, he could also take the opportunity to make further progress.

Looking at Fan Chunren's figure at the front, Lu Dafang gave a slight signal, and the censor Yang Wei attacked again to impeach Fan Chunren for his inaction during his time in power.

Fan Chunren sighed in his heart and took the initiative to say: "I feel ashamed to be the chief minister. I failed to change the current situation and revitalize the Song Dynasty. I am willing to resign!"

"Fan Chunren only has the shadow of Fan Wenzheng, that's all!" Lu Dafang sneered in his heart.

However, when he glanced at Fan Zheng with his peripheral vision, his face suddenly froze. Although Fan Chunren was conservative and dull, there were successors in the Fan family. Fan Zheng single-handedly promoted the pro-government of the official family, and in the future he would surely be comparable to Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi in becoming a leader of the official family. Left and right hands.

Zhao Xu's mind changed, and he did not agree directly, but said directly: "I have just taken charge of the government, and have successively dismissed Yushi Zhongcheng and Guanwen Palace Bachelor. If Fan Xianggong resigns as Prime Minister, how will you let the world see me."

"I don't dare!" Fan Chunren handed over his hand and stopped mentioning the resignation.

Lu Dafang's heart sank. He understood that Zhao Xu really cherished his reputation, and there was probably a more important reason, that is, the backbone of the new party had not yet arrived in Beijing.

Sure enough, the new East Palace Attendant Wang Di came forward and said: "I am reporting to the officials that Mr. Cai is really unjust. The Che Gaiting poem case is a frame-up and slander. Mr. Cai is devoted to the country and has no intention of ridiculing the imperial court."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu took advantage of the situation and said: "The literary style of our Song Dynasty was at its peak. Countless people wrote poems and lyrics. It is a big mistake to convict people with poems. This trend cannot last forever. It is decreed that Cai Queguan be reinstated as a rightful official and severely punished for framing Cai. The right person."

"The officials are wise!"

Su Shi also felt sad. There was a time when he was attacked because of his poems. If he were convicted based on Cai Que's poems, he would probably be demoted to the ends of the earth.

"Thank you, officials!" Wang Di bowed again.

Zhengyi Dafu is a literary official title, equivalent to the position of Minister of the Six Ministries, but its meaning is extraordinary, indicating that Zhao Xu is ready to vindicate the new party.

"New Party!"

Above the court, the expressions of the old parties changed. Empress Dowager Gao came to power and carried out a large-scale liquidation of the new party. Now that Zhao Xu has ascended the throne and the new party has made a comeback, I am afraid that there will be another storm in the court.

Fan Chunren sighed in his heart. He took the initiative to resign and still managed to achieve dignity. If the new party came back, it would probably be no better than Liu Zhi and others.

"Dear dear friends, please rest assured that both the old and new laws are beneficial. After I take charge of the government, I will adopt any law that is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, but I will never allow any law that is harmful to the people."

Zhao Xu said proudly that he did not shy away from promoting his determination to reform, and at the same time, he also gave reassurance to the old party in the Manchu Dynasty.

"The officials are wise!"

The ministers complimented him and felt a little relieved.

..............................

"Cai Que served the country loyally, but was slandered by villains. Today, he is rehabilitated and restored to his position as a senior official.

Too inside the hospital.

As soon as Wang Di came to court, he couldn't wait to come to Cai Que's bedside and tell him the good news.

However, Cai Que is now lying on the hospital bed, extremely weak.

He forcibly took the medicine of tiger and wolf, and although he was able to sustain himself with the return of his energy, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell down.

Upon hearing the news brought by Wang Di, Cai Que's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. Being able to hear the news that he was ordinary at the last moment of his life can be regarded as a life-long comfort.

"it is good!"

Cai Que uttered one word for a long time, and then there was no response.

Yuanyou eight years! Cai Que, the leader of the New Party, passed away. His life was full of controversies, but he shed his last drop of blood for the New Party and the new law.

After Zhao Xu got the news, he sighed for a long time and gave Cai Que the posthumous title of Grand Master, the posthumous title Zhonghuai. He also rewarded the Cai family's residence with some money and silk as a sign of grandeur.
