Chapter 1507 Cai Que’s fate

After leaving the main hall, Mr. Lu looked at the background of Zhang Dun walking towards the Privy Council: "This boy is a great talent, but he is too stubborn. If you are lucky today, I am afraid you will suffer big losses in the future."

Sima Guang sighed: "Zhang Dun is intolerant. If you tolerate him today, he may not be able to tolerate you and me in the future."

Lu Gongzhu also sighed: "Talent is really difficult. Everyone has their own shortcomings. Even Su Mingrun..."

Sima Guang said: "I know what Lu Gong means, but I still want him to return to the court to serve as director. At least Zhang Dun's situation can be avoided today."

"But the school's move is a big event, it is a pioneering work, and it brings the face of the Song Dynasty and the royal family."

"This is called a great cause for a long time. However, during the Qing Dynasty, several great talents failed to carry out school affairs. Now if we try again, except Su Mingrun, who can I trust?"

"If he fails to succeed, who will dare to mention this matter again in the future? Should national education wait another fifty years?"

"Mingrun is best at promoting systems. The problem in the Song Dynasty is ultimately a system problem. It is important to let him take care of the system there first..."

Lu Gongzhu looked at his old friend with some worry: "Jun Shi, can your body still bear it?"

Sima Guang also smiled bitterly: "Let's see how long we can carry it..."

In fact, during this incident, Gao Taotao set up a censor in the palace to check and balance the prime minister, also known as Zhengyanshun, who obtained the right to secretly report to outsiders, strengthened his authority, and reaped the greatest benefits.

This was the fundamental reason why she let Zhang Dun go.

However, word of this conflict in front of the emperor still spread, and Tai Jian went crazy.

However, Zhang Dun's father died of illness at this time, so Zhang Dun begged for mercy, rubbed oil on his soles, and slipped away.

Tai Jian punched the empty space and felt even more suffocated. Just as the envoy of Cai Que Shanling finished his work, he was still lying in his position.

Seeing that the "evil" was about to return to Beijing, Taiwan's remonstrance immediately changed its target and launched an impeachment.

Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou, Sun Jue, Su Che, and Zhu Guangting turned in dozens of bullets.

The situation was tense, so Cai Quesui begged for help, but his words were inappropriate, adding fuel to the fire.

Among them are "recruiting the elders of the current generation to accompany the royal family, keeping an eye on the troubles of provincial ministers to comfort the people, guarding the borders to keep Du Qiang's neighbors from peering at them, traveling around to see the troubles in distant places, clarifying the laws and regulations to promote their good intentions. The benefits of the late emperor and the great principles of fairness and justice unite the similarities and differences of public aspirations."

It was too shameless to boast to such an extent, so Sun Jue and Su Che became more and more aggrieved, and exposed it in the last chapter: "The emperor practiced the law, the Holy Mother came to the government, flattered the decree, abolished the market, donated young crops, stopped aid, and was lenient Guaranteed armor, exempted from buying horses, released the battle to repair the city, restored the old system of tea, salt and iron, deposed Wu Juhou, Jian Zhoufu, etc.

When the order came, the people cheered and congratulated each other.

Now that the junior ministers have been dismissed, the ministers will be appointed accordingly. I am confused.

It is true that the above table is true. Although people are forced to say it from outside, if you want to retreat and talk about merit and deeds, you will actually be at peace with yourself.

It is said that the elders of the current generation are recruited to accompany the royal family. I call the elders of the current generation those who were suppressed far away in the past.

It is said that Yousi's troubles in the province are to comfort the people's hearts. I say that Yousi's troubles are indeed the creators of the past.

These two things are truly stateless and undermine the late emperor's wisdom. Who but His Majesty's unique vision can do this?

If you do not take the blame yourself, but take credit for it, then all the evil you did will be attributed to the late emperor, and all the good things your Majesty did will be attributed to you."

Public opinion is so intolerant, but Gao Taotao is still "tolerating" it.

This is the emperor's trick. Gao Taotao hates Cai Zhen's bones. This is to make it clear that he doesn't think Cai Zhen is guilty enough and will not let him go. He wants to torture him to death.

Cai Que started his life by punishing people. Wang Anshi rode into Xuandemen as usual, but was knocked down by the guards. He asked the emperor to deal with him according to law. Su You, the governor of Kaifeng at the time, beat both sides to fifty pieces.

Cai Que went to the Supreme Court to comment on Wang Anshi and Su You's mistakes, which caused them to go out. Cai Que also went to Jixiyuan and moved to serve as the censor to know miscellaneous matters.

Fan Ziyuan was involved in the dredging project of the Yellow River. After Zhizhigao Kumamoto inspected the project and discovered something was wrong, he was sued by Fan Ziyuan. Cai Que impeached Kumamoto's party and attached Wen Yanbo, which led to Kumamoto being dismissed.

Cai Que took his place as Zhizhizhigao, Zhijianyuan and Judge of Sinong Temple.

Shen Kuo, the envoy of the Third Department, met with Wu Chong and discussed that the implementation of the exemption law in the two Zhejiang Provinces was not conducive to the people and should be changed.

Cai Queshangshu impeachment: "Since Shen Kuo felt that the immunity from service law needed to be changed, why didn't he say it when he was inspecting the prosecutor's office back then, but now he said it when it was not under his control?"

"He seems to think that if Wang Anshi is no longer in office, the new law will be shaken. I hope that your majesty will punish him."

As a result, Shen Kuo was deposed and had to work hard for several years before being rescued by Su You.

The Xiangzhou case is Cai Que's most famous work, involving a total of three prime ministers and more than a dozen officials.

As a result, Cai Que was promoted to the position of censor Zhongcheng and led the Sinong Temple. He became powerful for a while, and in the new law, "Changping and exemption from military service all came into his hands."

Later, he secretly manipulated the Wutai Poetry Case and tricked Su Song, Su Shi, and Su You.

Yuanfeng restructured and tricked Wang Gui again.

Along the way, he played with power and became the prime minister alive.

Again, if you go out and mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

When Liu Zhi impeached him as the envoy of Shanling, he did not stay out the night before the hearse set off, and he did not accompany him on the way. After returning, he did not apologize, which was disrespectful.

Wang Yansou was impeached in Xining, and during the Yuanfeng period, Cai did participate in all the unjust, false, and erroneous cases and harsh governance from beginning to end, but now he says that he "didn't dare to speak out at the time", bah!

At that time, Su Yuanzhen was far away in Zhengzhou, and the imperial censor was just a temporary post, but he still boldly submitted the letter. However, Cai Chue was close to his majesty and was deeply trusted, but today he excuses himself by saying "I dare not speak"?

I dare not say it, but you were incompetent as an admonishment officer at that time. How did you climb to the position of deputy prime minister?

You just used this as a reason to consolidate your position, and instead attributed the fault to the late emperor!

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods. However, Gao Taotao still did not deal with it.

Ji Chou, former prime minister Wang Gui took action and finally sealed Cai Que's throat with a sword!

Everyone was filled with emotion and disbelief. The dead Wang Gui brought Cai Que back to life. God has eyes, and retribution is a cycle!

Many ministers at that time had the habit of keeping diaries. When Wang Gui's son, Wang Zhongyu, was sorting out his father's posthumous works, he discovered Wang Gui's diary. When he turned to the section where Wang Gui and Cai Que decided to join forces to trap Su You in the cemetery, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

.

Su You was Wang Zhongyu's great benefactor, and it would not be an exaggeration to say he was his mentor. Wang Zhongyu admired Su You wholeheartedly for his charisma.

His ranking as the fourth Jinshi was almost single-handedly pushed up by Su You using Huo De Lun, a popular intellectual property back then.

He knew that his father and Su You were not on good terms, and Su You did not care about the past, but he did not expect that his father and Cai Que would join forces to do such a thing to harm his benefactor!

My father is an honest man. From what I have seen before and after, he was completely taken advantage of by Cai Que and played like a monkey.

Cai Que, the crime cannot be punished!

However, this would affect his father's reputation. Wang Zhongyu struggled painfully for several nights. In the end, he was unable to withstand the torture of his conscience and decided to report!

At that time, Cai Que was still admonishing in Taiwan, but he secretly communicated with the prime ministers and framed important ministers, thinking that he would advance to the throne. This was a serious crime!

Later, he left Taiwan to remonstrate, but it was a deliberate arrangement, which triggered the Wutai Poetry Case.

In the whole incident, we can see how terrible the villain's ingenuity is and what a huge disaster it will bring to the country.

And his father's reputation was completely destroyed in the hands of villains.

Wang Zhongyu cried bitterly and wrote a letter demanding severe punishment for Cai Que!

The previous charges were nothing to Cai Que, because Cai Que was bitten to death by Shenzong's instructions. Although it was "blamed on you", it was still in compliance with the procedures.

Therefore, Gao Taotao has been holding back and not taking action, just because he is a bit of a trap.

Wang Gui's diary immediately put aside the relationship between Cai Quezhi and Shenzong, and gave Gao Taotao finally a sufficient reason to punish Cai Que!

Taiwan's admonishers were originally the last line of defense used by the emperor to restrain the prime minister. If Taiwan's admonishers had friends with the prime minister, it was a "political cancer."

With Su You's strong foundation, as soon as Su Zhe became the Right Secretary, Su You refused to hold any specific positions, and now he has slipped away to Zhongmou.

This is the difference between knowing the rules and not knowing them.

The influence of the Wutai Poetry Case was huge, and it almost set the precedent of "criminalizing people with words". If it really succeeded, Zhao Xu would be saddled with the most terrible stigma of a feudal emperor.

Wang Gui is dead. The tradition of the Chinese clan emphasizes that death is the most important thing. What's more, the person who reported the case was his own son, which was considered a "surrender" in disguise. The court tolerated his decades of hard work and ultimately refused to pursue him.

However, Cai Queke's fate was not so good. He was demoted to Yingzhou Biejia and resettled in Xinzhou directly because of this incident.

In real history, Cai Que was demoted in a process. First, he was dismissed as a bachelor of Guanwen Palace and knew Chenzhou; then he was deprived of his official position due to his younger brother Cai Shuo's affairs and was transferred to Anzhou; and then he was transferred to Dengzhou;

Finally, he was demoted to Yingzhou Biejia and resettled in Xinzhou because his poem "You Che Gai Pavilion" ridiculed the imperial court and Gao Taotao.

It's better this time, we can go to the end once and for all and make a complete conclusion. It will never happen again as it happened in history.

Xinzhou was known as "the worst smog miasma" and was nicknamed "hell on earth".

Fan Chunren and Lu Gongzhu interceded with Gao Taotao, arguing that Cai Que's mother was old and the mountains in Lingnan were high and the roads were far away, so it was not suitable for her to cross the mountains and ridges. They advocated moving her to another place.

Gao Taotao ignored him at all: "I risked trapping the late emperor in evil, and used his position as Minister of Communications to remonstrate. With these two crimes, mountains can be moved, but this state cannot be moved!"

Lu Gongzhu went to ask Zhao Xu again, asking him to explain something to Cai Que at Gao Taotao's place, but Zhao Xu ignored him even more.

If you dare to plot to kill Situ, even if you don't offend Wang Gui, I feel aggrieved. You still want me to say a good word for Cai Que? No way!

There are many follow-ups to this matter. For example, Yushi Shengtao, Zhai En, and Wang Pengnian were dismissed from office because they failed to impeach Cai Que.

Peng Ruli, a member of Zhongshushe, believed that the punishment was too severe, and because he rejected the imperial edict to deal with Cai Que, he was also convicted and sent out.

It should be said that dealing with Cai Que so harshly and quickly is indeed inconsistent with the system's procedures. Many people are not "Cai's party" at all and have no sympathy for him at all.

What they objected to was that Gao Taotao was "not in line with the system", which can only be regarded as their own persistence.

In fact, Su You recognized these people very much. Criminals should also have defense lawyers in order to ensure the greatest accuracy in the implementation of the law. This is something that everyone will know in later generations.

However, Su You also understood that Gao Taotao wanted to slander Gao Taotao for "replacing his mother with his son" and wanted to take Gao Taotao's achievements in establishing Zhao Xu as his own "credit of support". This was the fundamental reason why Gao Taotao wanted to kill Cai Que.
