Jiachen (fourteenth day) of the eleventh month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
Early in the morning, it started to rain lightly in Bianjing City.
The rain mixed with the cold wind blew into the corridor of Yushitai.
Liu Zhi put away the oil-paper umbrella and shook his body. At the age of fifty-five, he looked like he was only in his forties.
He has a short beard, wears the censor's Xie Zhi crown on his head, and his crimson official uniform is neatly ironed, giving people a serious and proud feeling.
As soon as he entered the main hall of the official office of the Yushitai, Liu Zhi and Wang Yansou met face to face. They bowed their hands and saluted, and Wang Yansou whispered: "Mr. Liu, the two palaces issued an edict yesterday and ordered the capital hall to gather for discussion.
, the selection of people to go to the ancestral hall, Dali Temple has been reviewed..."
Liu Zhi smiled and nodded. This suited him exactly, so he asked, "Yanlin, do you know who Dutang has chosen?"
"It is said that An Chuhou (An Dun) was ordered to be the leader, and the secretary supervisor Fu Qinzhi (Fu Yaoyu) was also appointed to review..." Wang Yansou said.
Liu Zhi immediately showed a proud smile.
He seemed to have seen a grand performance.
If this happens, he can be like the late Wang Yike (Wang Gongchen) and proudly say those four words: catch them all in one fell swoop!
When he was proud, Liu Zhi was inevitably satisfied: "I knew this!"
He was very familiar with Han Jiang.
Because Han Jiang was the person who promoted his official career - when he was promoted to Jiangling Prefecture, his immediate boss was Han Jiang. Han Jiang appreciated his talent and recommended him to the court. He took the imperial examination and successfully passed the imperial examination.
Awarded to Guange for collation.
Then, Han Jiang introduced him to Wang Anshi, and he was reused by Wang Anshi.
In just one year, his official position took a leap forward.
He was promoted from the collation of the palace to the official position of the Zhongshu Lifang, and then recommended to the supervisor of the censor Li Xing.
Then……
There will be no more!
Because he strongly opposed the reform, Wang Anshi was furious.
That stubborn Xianggong didn't listen to his advice or explanation at all.
I just think he betrayed the new law.
He beat him to the bottom and demoted him to a supervisor!
This incident made him resentful to this day.
Therefore, when other gentlemen and noble people heard that Han Jiang had entered the capital as prime minister, they all jumped for joy.
But he sighed secretly, because he knew that Han Jiang and Wang Anshi were actually the same person!
The only difference between the two is that Wang Anshi insists on going his own way, while Han Jiang listens to other people's opinions and is willing to compromise with others.
But in essence, Han Jiang, Han Zihua and Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu are just the New Legalists wearing a pair of pants!
The fighting method comes from Han Jiang - people who are not familiar with Xining's past may think that this is Han Jiang picking peaches.
However, Liu Zhi, who was the core cadre of the new law in the early preparation stage of the reform, knew very well that what Han Jiang said was the truth.
The Xining Service Law was indeed Han Jiang's handiwork.
Wang Anshi just implemented it.
Therefore, Liu Zhi was not surprised at all by what Han Jiang was doing in the capital.
The two of them still wanted to talk about something else.
The figure of Censor Zhongcheng Li Chang appeared from the other side of the official office.
The two could only end the brief meeting and go to their respective mansions.
Liu Zhi is now the censor. According to the regulations set by the late emperor, there are three censors, who are in charge of two of the six inspections.
Liu Zhi was in charge of the inspection and impeachment of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Therefore, after Liu Zhi returned to the official residence, a pile of documents from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites were already waiting for him to check.
However, he no longer had this intention at all.
His eyes were looking at the official document, but his mind had already drifted to the ancestral hall and Dali Temple.
He was waiting for Anton to make a mistake.
As long as Andun makes a mistake, it is irrefutable proof!
The prime minister, Kaifeng Mansion and the censor are all colluding together!
The evidence is overwhelming and there is no room for sophistry.
And will Anton make a mistake?
Liu Zhi believes that he will, and he will definitely protect Cai Jing.
The reason is simple - Anton is a smart man, he will know how to choose.
However, it was not time for the dust to settle after all.
In addition, An Dun was accompanied by Fu Yaoyu, which made Liu Zhi a little uneasy and afraid that Fu Yaoyu would do something bad.
Because Liu Zhi was very familiar with Fu Yaoyu.
He is an upright man and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes!
In my forty years as an official, I have never told a lie in public!
He is a person recognized in the official circles as "having no authority".
I remember that during the Xining Reform, Fu Yaoyu came to Beijing to report on his work. Wang Anshi admired him so much that he received him personally, promised to admonish the court, and invited him to come to Bianjing to take charge, hoping to use Fu Yaoyu's reputation to assist the new law.
result……
Fu Yaoyu said it directly in front of Wang Anshi - if I take up the post of Zhijianyuan, I will definitely cause trouble for your new law every day.
Wang Anshi was so numb, how could he dare to ask Fu Yaoyu to go to the admonishment court again?
If such a person were far away, there would be no one who would not praise him.
But if you want to work with him and be an official in the same place.
It’s torture! Outright torture!
Because this person does not tell lies, and because this person is upright, and even more because he has no authority and just talks about things when he has something to say, which is no different from an elm-headed person.
Therefore, Fu Yaoyu was later involved in a major case and was demoted as a supervisor in Liyang County.
For ten years, no one helped him.
It wasn't until last year that the late emperor remembered that there was such a person. After checking, it turned out that he had been demoted for ten years.
So an imperial edict was issued to restore Mingzhou to Zhimingzhou.
After the death of the late emperor, the current official family came to the throne, and the two palaces were in charge of the government. Lu Gongzhi entered the court, so he recommended this person in front of the two palaces.
But after Fu Yaoyu entered the court, he did not thank Lu Gongzhu who recommended him.
Instead, avoid it for fear of not being able to catch it.
On the contrary, Lu Gongzhu admired him even more as a person.
Therefore, he strongly recommended him in front of the two palaces and let him serve as secretary supervisor and team leader of Sun Jue.
Therefore, Liu Zhi was worried that Fu Yaoyu would cause trouble.
If he became stubborn, An Dun would not dare to protect Cai Jing and report the matter as it was.
This is not a good thing.
In this case, at most one Cai Jing can be driven away.
But who is Cai Jing?
Just a fly!
Moreover, as a Quan Zhi of Kaifeng Mansion, he did not have much tenure in the first place - under the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion did not grant full-term ministers to ministers, most of whom were Quan Zhi. Even if Quan Zhi, no one in the past dynasties could serve a full term in Kaifeng Mansion. , even two years is very rare!
Usually at most one year, or even half a year.
Thinking about this, Liu Zhi felt even more uneasy.
"Now, we can only hope that this villain, An Dun, can be more arrogant...and more despicable!" He thought in his heart.
…
In the Funing Hall, Zhao Xu was eating breakfast and listening to Shi Deyi's report.
As soon as Shi De finished his report, he had just finished his breakfast.
Zhao Xu picked up the silk cloth, wiped the marks on the corners of his mouth, and then asked: "The capital has chosen An Dun, and Fu Yaoyu is going to review it?"
"Who suggested it?"
"I heard that An Dun was recommended by Prime Minister Han, and Fu Yaoyu was recommended by Governor Lu..."
Zhao Xu smiled.
It's not surprising that An Dun and Han Jiang are getting closer.
But Fu Yaoyu's entry into the game was a bit unexpected.
This is the ‘perfect man’ of Yuanyou’s era!
What does it mean to be a perfect person? One who has no moral stains, can do things, and is capable.
It’s just too easy to offend people.
Because this person only tells the truth and never tells lies, he is considered to be "unpretentious" - he never pretends or hides himself, and speaks out when he has something to say.
This kind of character, let alone officialdom.
Even among the people, you will have no friends.
Therefore, Fu Yaoyu has very few friends.
Anyone who can play with him has basically the same temperament.
And Fu Yaoyu also left his footprints in history.
Idiom: There is no city in the chest, which refers to him.
"Just ask the Detective Department to pay more attention!" Zhao Xu ordered.
With Fu Yaoyu here, he would take the initiative to help Zhao Xu keep an eye on Andun, the temple, and Dali Temple.
Yes, there is no sand in these eyes, the Song Dynasty version of Hai Rui's eyes.
There is no distinction between old and new, only right and wrong.
His character is equivalent to Wang Anshi's stubbornness combined with Sima Guang's arrogance.
…
Fu Yaoyu wore regular clothes and a futou and walked into the official building of the temple.
His face was a little dark, his skin was a little shriveled, and his hands were covered with thick calluses.
He doesn't look like a civil servant at all, but more like an old farmer who works outside all day long.
However, when he entered the temple, all the officials lowered their heads and bowed their hands in salute.
Because Fu Yaoyu was a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
His qualifications are the same as those of Wang Anshi and Lu Gongzhu.
He was a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli!
During the Yingmiao era, he had already served as an official at Zhijianyuan, where he lived, served, and studied. Later, he was appointed as a censor, Shizhi and miscellaneous officials.
If Yingmiao hadn't died too early, he would have already entered the three provinces and two prefectures - this man was recognized as an imperialist during the Zhiping period.
He is also an upright minister who is highly respected by the British Temple.
Therefore, even Andun, the official in charge of verification, must be the same as the juniors in front of him.
Moreover, An Dun had to wait for Fu Yaoyu to arrive before he dared to start the verification.
This is a senior!
Fu Yaoyu was not so particular. He bowed his hand in return and walked up to An Dun and asked: "Censor An, where are the relevant documents?"
An Dun was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable dealing with people like Fu Yaoyu.
But he still said respectfully: "Master Fu...the relevant documents are all here!"
"Yeah!" Fu Yaoyu nodded, bypassed An Dun, sat down in front of the documents, picked them up one by one and looked at them.
At the same time, he also took out several books from his sleeves and placed them next to them.
From time to time, Fu Yaoyu would pick up those books and compare them with the official documents in his hand.
Andun curiously leaned over and took a look, and then he discovered it.
The few books Fu Yaoyu brought were all relevant articles and laws he copied from Chongwen Academy.
He was comparing these official documents with the official documents of the temple to find the regulations.
Comparison one by one!
An Dun watched, swallowed, and asked cautiously: "Master Fu came so late today, is it because he was copying these notes?"
Fu Yaoyu, who was sitting at the desk, did not raise his head, but just hummed and said: "Since you have received your orders, you should fulfill your duties loyally!"
After receiving the order yesterday, he hid in Chongwen Courtyard and didn't sleep a wink all night, looking for all the necessary regulations, laws and related laws.
As An Dun listened, he remembered the stories he had heard about this old man during the Zhiping period.
Legend and reality overlap.
This shocked An Dun greatly!
No - everyone is acting, why do you become serious?
What makes An Dun even more troubled is that Fu Yaoyu is so serious. If he really wants to find out something, how will he go to tell Prime Minister Han?
An Dun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Mr. Fu, I haven't read these documents yet..."
Fu Yaoyu still did not raise his head, but pointed at the documents he had read: "Yu Shi An can read these first..."
Andun's throat felt like an egg had been stuffed into it.
I want to speak, but I can't.
Yes... He is the chief official and Fu Yaoyu is the deputy. In theory, Fu Yaoyu should cooperate with him.
But the problem is, they are senior, well-known, and have strong backers.
It is said that even the Empress Dowager, after seeing his name, happily said to her neighbors: "This is the hero of the Yingmiao Temple!"
"Yingmiao once told Lao Shen that if a minister in the court is pure, honest, and upright, he who combines these three qualities will definitely be admonished by the court!"
Therefore, every time Lu Gongzhu recommended him, the Empress Dowager happily agreed.
In just two or three months, Fu Yaoyu was promoted to secretary supervisor.
May be promoted at any time!
An Dun didn't dare and didn't want to have any dispute with him.
I could only bite the bullet, sit aside, pick up the documents and read them.
But everyone in the temple was even more miserable than Andun.
Because Fu Yaoyu was not only serious, but also processed documents very quickly.
Half an hour later, Fu Yaoyu summoned the officials of the temple and told him: "Go and get the documents from Dali Temple!"
"Then tell Monk Huixin to get ready. After I read the documents from Dali Temple, I will interrogate him!"
After saying this, Fu Yaoyu also called one of his Yuan Sui, wrote an official document on the spot, signed his name, and then handed it to An Dun: "Censor An, please take a look at it. If you have no objection, please sign and deposit it." !”
An Dun took the official document, took a look at it, and then asked: "Mr. Fu, are you going to Kaifeng Mansion to interrogate Seng Lu Division this afternoon?"
Fu Yaoyu asked: "Is there any problem?"
An Dun said softly: "Is it too hasty?"
"How could it be?" Fu Yaoyu said: "Back then, I was ordered by Yingmiao to serve on the imperial censor and know the miscellaneous matters. I dismissed Lu Jie, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and others in one day... After finishing the work that day, I asked for Chu Zhi!"
This is his most famous battle.
During the Puyi dispute, Fu Yaoyu, as an imperial party member, served as the censor's official secretary. He impeached four admonishers who opposed Puyi in one day and drove them all out of Bianjing. After the matter was completed, Yingmiao was delighted.
But Fu Yaoyu entered the palace and asked to resign and went out to know where he was.
The reason is simple - Your Majesty, I have done what you asked me to do, and now it is time for me to step down.
Then, regardless of Yingmiao's pleas to stay, he resolutely came out.
This was not only unprecedented in the Song Dynasty, but also had no latecomers.
What shocked everyone present the most was that when Fu Yaoyu mentioned this matter, it was as if he was talking about what to eat today.
He didn't care at all, and he didn't care at all if those four people heard him. Two of those four people are now important ministers of the court, and they are also the officials who receive courtesy and generous treatment from the current officials.
Therefore, An Dun was convinced.
Even if Fu Yaoyu was demoted for ten years, he still served as the prison officer of Liyang County for ten years.
But he was still the one who dared to speak out in front of Cisheng Guangxian during the Zhiping period, and dared to intervene directly in the internal affairs of the royal family. He forced Cisheng Guangxian to expel Ren Shouzhong, the minister who encouraged Cisheng to drop curtains, out of Bianjing and let Yingmiao Longyan was very happy, but at this time he advised Yingmiao to be kind to the ministers around Cishengguangxian and to restore the relationship between mother and son.
This person has never changed from beginning to end.
He is still him!
Fu Yaoyu, who has no city government, and Fu Qinzhi, a lonely minister!
I can only update once today, I'm really sorry.
Because I really can’t write anything during the day.
