Today, let's take a look at the question of whether Pang Taishi is a traitor in history.
Pang Taishi, named Pang, was a famous politician and general in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. He died in 1062, the seventh year of Jiayou, at the age of seventy-one.
During his lifetime, he held many important official positions, including Fengxiang Mansion Jiedu Envoy, Privy Envoy, Prime Minister, etc. However, he was called a traitor by some because he advocated the abolition of the new law and opposed Wang Anshi's reform when he was prime minister during the Song Dynasty. This caused dissatisfaction and opposition from the ** and the people who supported the new law at that time. But in fact, Pang Taishi is not a traitor. Although he advocates the repeal of the new law, this does not mean that he opposes the change of the law out of selfish interests. In fact, he was a very far-sighted, talented politician and general. He has served as the governor of the border area for many years, has a good understanding of border affairs, and has made great contributions to border defense. In addition, he is also a very incorruptible and impartial politician, and he has never had a record of *** in his political career. Pang Taishi's contribution to history is indelible.
Pang Taishi's position and contribution in history are undeniable, and we cannot shake his historical status because of some controversies, let alone smear his image.
