The TV series "Da Song Gong Ci" is a work worth savoring carefully.
In an instant, the protagonist Prince benefited from the tanuki for the prince and has entered his early learning stage, while Zhenzong Zhao Heng has already understood the arrangement of the Mandate of Heaven.
The symptoms of headaches are getting worse and the length of coma is increasing, which may indicate that your life is coming to an end.
At this decisive moment, Prime Minister Kou Zhun, who had always been highly relied on by Zhao Heng and known for his integrity and loyalty, was unexpectedly demoted.
What's even more unbelievable is that he actually believed in the malicious slander of the ** ministers Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei?
Did the emperor really become so confused because of his illness?
In fact, Zhao Heng has always maintained the demeanor of an emperor, good at strategic layout and thoughtfulness. He is an emperor, not an emperor, but he presides over a huge secret plan in the court, that is, the crown prince to succeed to the throne. Although it seems a little confused on the surface, in fact he has already begun to carefully plan for the enthronement of the crown prince.
01 The prince is still very young, who can assist him in government affairs?How to ensure that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are surnamed Zhao and will not fall into the hands of other clans?
Liu E had spent more than a decade in the palace, and by the time Zhao Heng was seriously ill and unconscious, most of the notes had already been approved by Liu E, and she had begun to secretly participate in political activities. This was a very normal political behavior for those at the time. What's more, Zhao Heng himself may also have to express his admiration for the way some political affairs are handled.
Zhao Heng knows very well that Empress Liu E does have the ability to govern the world, and she is a political assistant he can rely on.
02 But unfortunately, Kou Zhun, a straightforward and unbeaten-track person, blocked the way.
Referring to this Kou Zhun, he was undoubtedly a loyal and talented courtier to the Great Song Dynasty. He was intelligent and studious since childhood, erudite and well-informed, especially fond of history and literature, and was able to write and think quickly, and was very talented. At the age of thirty-two, he was appointed deputy privy councillor and was highly valued by Emperor Taizong of the Song dynasty. At the age of twenty-seven, he was crowned prime minister. Under the rule of Shinzong, he made many notable contributions, especially in the realization of the Abyss Alliance, his contribution is immeasurable.
In the Battle of Lanyuan, the Liao State laid siege to Shanzhou, an action that shook the entire imperial court. Many courtiers advised Zhao Heng to move south to avoid pursuit. Kou Zhun did everything in his power to prevent Zhao Heng from becoming a deserter, and strongly advised the emperor to go out in person to boost the morale of the army.
In the end, Zhenzong personally went on the expedition, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and the battle of Shanyuan was won as a result. They signed the "Lanyuan Alliance" with the Great Liao, which provided a guarantee for a century-long peace between the Song and Liao.
However, Kou Zhun appeared to be somewhat confused about Liu E's affairs, and he repeatedly opposed Liu E becoming empress and opposed her political participation, which became an obstacle to Liu E's rule. What is the reason for this?What is the reason?
03 Kou is a loyal and talented man, but the problem is that he can't get a woman to participate in politics.
Liu E has shown her shrewdness, wisdom and ability. But he fell in love with this woman, and loved her so deeply that he finally dedicated his life to her. In fact, if it were a man, he and Kou Zhun would most likely become deeply cherished friends. Kou Zhun once expressed a high degree of recognition for Liu E's talent, and can even be said to be very admired.
First of all, in the Battle of Lanyuan, despite the opposition of the ministers, Kou Zhun and Liu E firmly supported the emperor's personal expedition, and their views were the same.
Second, Liu E allowed her son Zhao Ji to go to Liao as a hostage and carry Yelukang's coffin north alone. Kou Zhun expressed his admiration for Liu E's courage and recognized her great contribution to the Great Song Dynasty.
Third, when Liu E dealt with the diplomatic matters of Yelu's stay to sacrifice for Emperor Xuanyuan, Kou Zhun once said: "Among the civil officials and military generals in the entire imperial court, the status of Concubine De Niangniang (Liu E) even surpasses her." ”
Fourth, in the face of the drought in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu E resolutely led the cultivation of upland rice, and Kou Zhun was deeply shocked by the outstanding talent and foresight of a woman.
However, it was precisely because of Kou Zhun's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and Liu E's outstanding talent that he developed a fear of Liu E as a woman and strongly opposed her participation in political activities.
04 In fact, Kou Zhun was very worried that Liu E might usurp the crown and overthrow the entire dynasty.
Zhao Heng and Kou Zhun had an in-depth conversation after drinking. The monarch and the courtiers, holding a pot of aged wine, hugged each other affectionately.
Zhao Heng's initial intention was to convince Kou Zhun to side with Empress Liu E, who confessed that his condition was very serious and he often fell into a coma, while the affairs of the state were handled by the Empress.
Sure enough, Kou Zhun said the truth after getting drunk, and he immediately knelt on the ground, resolutely opposing Liu E's political participation, and citing the Xia and Shang countries as reasons for admonishing the Han Dynasty due to the chaos caused by Empress Lü's monopoly of power, and Wu Zetian's usurpation of the history of the Li Tang Dynasty.
It turned out that Kou Zhun was always worried that Liu E might have usurped power.
At the same time, Kou Zhun suggested that Zhao should start studying politics early so that he could be assisted by his ministers in future enthronement ceremonies.
Zhao Hengxin realized that it had become impossible to convince someone as straightforward as Kou Zhun. If Kou Zhun is allowed to stay, Liu E's road to listening to politics at the court meeting will be very long.
Considering that the crown prince is still very young and Liu E has no real power, how should the ministers deal with the control of the government?The relationship between the prince and the harem is centered on whom?The person who assists in government affairs is usually the minister in the imperial courtOr is it his own son?She is still her wife, and she is also the wife of the hair
At this moment, he will undoubtedly choose to trust the smart and capable wife Liu E. As a result, I was already thinking about it.
05 Wang Qinruodin planned to slander Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng skillfully used this opportunity to demote Kou Zhun.
Wang Qinruo and Ding called these two sons-in-law "two great gods", and they gave people the impression that they were two wicked people who colluded with each other. Both were famous politicians and military strategists during the Song Dynasty, and they were prime ministers by the same emperor's side. Of course, these two people have also become Kou Zhun's political opponents in the workplace.
Of course, he was unwilling to let Kou Zhun become this important minister who assisted the crown prince. What's more, Liu E has always had an unfriendly attitude towards the two of them, and has often been questioned in government affairs, fearing that Kou Zhun will be marginalized when assisting her husband.
Therefore, the two men maliciously appealed to the emperor, claiming that when the emperor was seriously ill, Kou Zhun entrusted Yang Yi to secretly draft the edict of the Zen throne, intending to make the crown prince the new emperor so that he could become the head of the auxiliary ministers in the future, and use the prince to command the princes.
The ** about this news was actually Kou Zhun who accidentally leaked it to his confidante while drinking.
06.Can Zhao Heng really believe those nonsense full of loopholes?But surprisingly, he actually believed it.
Both Cao Yong and Liu E thought that there must be a misunderstanding behind the matter, but Zhao Heng seemed to be convinced of it. This time it's true. There was an imperial decree that implied that Kou Zhun intended to make a prince, so he was demoted to the governor of Shaanzhou.
When he met the court the next morning, Kou Zhun had just walked to the gate of the palace when he was intercepted by Zhang Jingzong and publicly read out the holy decree of demotion.
Zhao Heng chose to keep his distance from Kou Zhun and didn't even give him a chance to explain. Kou Zhun reluctantly accepted the emperor's decree and bowed deeply in front of the imperial city to show his gratitude to the emperor.
Boy behaved very frankly in the workplace, but unfortunately dropped out of the competition.
Since then, the obstacles set up by Kou Zhun have been successfully removed, creating favorable conditions for Liu E to govern in the court and assist the crown prince.
07.After the incident, Zhao Heng looked a little confused at the court meeting, and kept asking where Kou Zhun went
The civil officials and generals of the entire imperial court all looked at each other, and they all thought that Zhao Heng was a confused person and wrongly belittled Kou Zhun.
In fact, Zhao Heng knew that this was just a deception, and he successfully eliminated the obstacle on the grounds of his own headache and confusion, but he was not given the title of "faint king" because of this.
08.Although Kou Zhun was deposed, Zhao Heng still followed his suggestion to crown the crown prince in advance and let him enter the palace to listen to the government.
Men reach the peak of their youth at the age of twenty. However, according to Kou Zhun's opinion, Zhao Heng decided to let Zhao Hui, who was only ten years old, prepare in advance and begin to study court affairs in depth.
Therefore, when Zhao Yingfu was still a child, he performed the crowning ceremony and named him Zhao Zhen. In the following ten years, he was appointed twice as the left picker, the right to fill the vacancy, and the Zhongshu Sect Xialang, and finally promoted to the prime minister. From then on, the crown prince Zhao Zhen was eligible to participate in military affairs, held the command of the army, and was eligible to enter the Taimiao Temple to participate in the government affairs of the previous dynasty with Empress Liu E.
09.In history, Kou Zhun was deposed
It is described in the "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian Long Edition, Volume 79":
When dealing with court affairs, past experience and facts are often cited, and there is nothing inappropriate. After the court meeting, the emperor reviewed the seals from all over the country, most of them in the middle of the night, and only learned later. Zhou's courteous attitude made the emperor trust him even more.
From this point of view, Liu E is undoubtedly a capable person who is highly relied on by the True Sect. Especially in the later period, Zhenzong often fell ill and became unconscious, and most of the government affairs were handled by Empress Liu E.
A group of ** led by Kou Zhun are worried about whether the history of Tang Gaozong being manipulated by Wu Zetian will be staged again. Therefore, on the premise that there is no conclusive evidence that Liu E has disorderly political behavior, he joined forces with Yang Yi, Zhou Huaizheng and others to submit a request to the prince to supervise the country.
As a result, Kou Zhun's phase was dismissed and replaced by his political rival Ding Wei, but was replaced by Wang Qinruo in the plot.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Huaizheng's coup plan of "killing after abolition" was revealed, resulting in Zhou Huaizheng's killing, and Kou Zhun was also implicated, and was continuously demoted to Leizhou to serve in the army.
It had been some time since Kou Zhun had been demoted and left the capital, but Zhenzong still didn't know anything about it. One day, he was in the middle of the court discussing current affairs with his ministers. At the court meeting, someone asked, "Why haven't I seen Kou Zhun for a long time?"”
