Chapter 309 Wang Qinruo Forged the Book of Heaven
Wang Qinruo continued, "How can auspicious auspiciousness be obtained in heaven? Most of the previous generations were caused by human power. As long as the master believes and respects it, it is no different from auspiciousness." Zhao Heng thought for a long time and agreed. But he was afraid that Wang Dan would not agree, so he said, "What if Wang Dan thinks it is not possible?" Wang Qinruo said, "If I use Your Majesty's holy will to tell him, there should be nothing wrong." Then he said to Wang Dan as an opportunity, and Wang Dan reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Heng was still hesitant and no one planned with him. Zhao Heng went to the secret hall and suddenly asked Du Hao, "What is the matter in ancient times that the river was sent out and the Luo book was sent out?" Du Hao was an old scholar, and could not speculate on Zhao Heng's meaning, so he responded casually: "This is just a saint who sets up teachings with the way of gods." Zhao Heng made up his mind, so he summoned Wang Dan to drink, very happy, and gave Wang Dan a wine, saying, "This wine is great, you can go back and enjoy it with your wife and family." When Wang Dan returned home and opened it, it was filled with jewelry. Because of this, Wang Dan could only no longer have any objections to the heavenly books, Fengshan and other matters.
In the first month of the fifth year of Jingde, the Imperial City Office reported that the guardian Tu Rong was guarding him. Seeing that there was yellow silk about two feet long on the tail of the sky gate south of the Zuocheng Tianmen, he submitted a memorial to Zhao Heng. Zhenzong immediately ordered the envoy to check it out and said to the ministers: "In November last year, late at night on Gengyin, I just went to bed. I was surprised when I suddenly saw the light of Ye Ye in the room. I saw a god again. I saw a star-crown and red robes. I entered the room to see me and said that the Huanglu Temple should be built in the main hall next month. In January, I will give three letters of the Great Successful Talisman for me. I was about to speak. Unexpectedly, this god suddenly disappeared. I have been fasting devoutly since the first day of the twelve month, building a temple in Chaoyuan Hall, waiting to worship the heavens. Because I am afraid that inside and outside the palace will cause rumors, it has not been announced. Now the silk book falls from the sky. Is it really the will of heaven?"
Wang Qinruo immediately reported, "Your Majesty is sincere and you should invite the heavens to the heavens." Zhao Heng was happy. After a while, he saw the envoy coming back to report his orders, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "There is indeed a silk book on Chengtian Gate, about two meters long, and the stuff is like a scroll, and it is wrapped around it with green threads, with words faintly hidden in the seal." Zhao Heng pretended to ask, "Is it because the heavenly book not completed?" Seeing this, Wang Dan and others naturally gathered together to congratulate him again.
Zhao Heng said again, "I have to go and worship this in person." After that, he left the Golden Palace and went straight to Chengtian Gate. All civil and military officials followed him and looked up at the door. They saw that the yellow silk was floating in the wind. Zhao Heng then looked at the sky and bowed again. After worshiping, he sent two eunuchs to climb up, respectfully took down the silk book, and handed it to Wang Dan.
Wang Dan knelt down with the book, and Zhao Heng bowed a few more times before he accepted the silk book. Then he put it in the carriage and came to the Taoist temple. He ordered Chen Yaosou, the clerk of the Privy Council, to open the silk book. He saw a text on the silk saying: "Zhao received the order, and became popular in the Song Dynasty, and was given to the corps, and he was in charge of the utensils. It was seven hundred and nine hundred times in the world." Zhao Heng knelt down to the book again, and there were three yellow characters in the book, similar to "Hong Fan" and "Tao Te Ching".
The first article says that the emperor can be filial and chaste, and the second article talks about the general idea of the throne and simplicity of the world. After Chen Yaosou read the book, Zhao Heng repeatedly knelt down and accepted it, so he wrapped the original silk book and stored it in the golden cabin. The ministers celebrated the Chongzheng Hall, and Zhao Heng and his assistant ministers all fasted and quarreled. They sent officials to report to the heaven, earth, ancestral temple, and the country, and the country was changed to the reign of the reign. The Dazhong Xiangfu was the year name, and the ministers were given a banquet for all the ministers. They were given five days to the capital, and the Zuo Chengtianmen was changed to Cheng.
Tianxiang Fu was appointed as a support envoy for Tianshu Yiwei. When there was a great ceremony, he ordered the prime minister to hold a close minister and also held the position.
Then Chen Yaosou, Chen Pengnian, Ding Wei, Du Hao and others argued for auspiciousness and agreed with the classics. Only the Longtu Pavilion was waiting for the commander of Sun Shi, said, "How can God speak? How can there be a book?" Zhao Heng ignored him. A few days later, Prime Minister Wang Dan and others led all civil and military officials, generals and corpses, officials, vassals, monks, Taoist and Qishou, a total of more than 23,200 people. They submitted a letter to Zhao Heng for the Fengshan period, but Zhao Heng pretended to be unwilling to agree.
The ministers continued to submit the report. When the fifth time came, Zhao Heng summoned Ding Wei to ask how much money was needed. Ding Wei was from Changzhou, Suzhou Prefecture, Liangzhe Road, and his ancestral home was Hebei. In the third year of Chunhua, Ding Wei passed the imperial examination and served as a judge of Dali and a magistrate of Raozhou. He was smart and versatile, knowledgeable in the divination of the celestial phenomena, calligraphy, painting, chess and piano, and poetry. His writing was followed by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, and his poetry was like Du Fu. He was once praised as "the great scholar of today."
Ding Wei was smart and smart, and could not forget his articles. He could recite them after reading them a few thousand words. In his early years, Ding Wei's father, Ding Hao, was in Jingzhou. When his father's colleague Dou Wei saw Ding Wei's cleverness and talent, he praised him, "This child will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future." So he agreed to his daughter.
The famous literati Wang Yuxi served as the magistrate of Changzhou County in Jinsu, Pingjiang. Ding Wei and his good friend Sun He Zeng visited the article together. Wang Yuxi praised the article and believed that "it was only two hundred years since Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty and Liu Zongyuan." Wang Yuxi later called him a "giant scholar today" and his poems were like Du Fu.
Once the emperor asked, "How much is the price of wine in the Tang Dynasty?" Ding Wei blurted out, "Every bucket is three hundred." The emperor asked him how he knew, and Ding Wei replied, "The poem of Du Fu is proof, 'Just drink a bucket of water, and there are three hundred bronze coins'." One day, Zhao Heng and the imperial concubine enjoyed flowers and fished together. After a long time of fish, they didn't catch a fish. He was very unhappy and frowned and said without saying a word. The ministers didn't know what to do. Ding Wei ran up with a smile and wrote a poem, "The orioles were shocked and the phoenix chariot passed through the flowers, and the fish were afraid of the dragon's face to catch it." Zhao Heng was very happy when he saw that he was so smart, and he admired and chanted again and again.
Kings of Sichuan and Shaanxi launched a rebellion. The court mobilized soldiers to resist, but turned into enemies. These people were familiar with mountains, rivers, and roads, captured prefectures and counties, plundered men and women, and became enemies with the government. Ding Wei was ordered to deal with it. As soon as he arrived, he immediately ordered to stop the troops and ventured into the stream cave to meet his leader, told the court to appease him, and declared that he would pardon and not kill him with emperor edicts. He gave them brocade robes and silver silk, which made them so grateful that they expressed their willingness to pay tribute to the court for generations, and carved the oath and erected it on the border, so that the southwest region could be peaceful from then on.
Ding Wei also used the method of exchanging salt for grain to solve the problems of military salaries in Kui and all states, and at the same time reduced the hardships of border residents who delivered imperial grains from long distances. He also recommended that the horses raised by border residents in southern Guizhou could be exchanged freely on the market. He had personally planned and operated the construction of Kuizhou City to strengthen border defense. Zhao Heng once asked Ding Wei how to make the border defense long and peaceful, and ethnic minorities dare not be wrong. Ding Wei replied: "As long as the officials sent by the court do not seek credit for their achievements and win with peace, they can be peaceful."
In the first year of Jingde, a war broke out in the Song and Liao dynasties. The cavalry of the Khitan in the north went south, and the people were frightened. The people north of the Yellow River rushed to cross the Yellow River one after another. Thousands of people took refuge in crossing the river every day, but the boatman thought that he refused to cross the people in time. Ding Wei was ordered to deal with it.
Taking decisive measures, he hurriedly took out several death row prisoners from the prison, pretended to be a boatman, and beheaded on the river.
When the boatman saw the officials beheading and killing people, he never dared to do anything. Ding Wei then organized personnel and ships to ferry day and night. In less than three days, the people in the north of the Yellow River could all cross the Yellow River. Immediately afterwards, he selected young and strong people from the refugees, divided them into several blocks on the side of the Yellow River hundreds of miles, all of them raised flags, sounded golden drums, and beat the divine fight. The sound could be heard a hundred miles away. The Liao people did not understand the inside story and thought that the Song side was prepared, so they retreated and left, and from then on they were in peace.
During the Zhongxiangfu period, the palace caught fire. Ding Wei presided over the reconstruction of the palace and was troubled by the land being taken far away. Ding Wei ordered the soil from the street to be taken, and it became a large canal within a few days. So the water from the Bian River was dug into the canal, and the materials transported from various places were transported to the palace gate through the Bian River and the Da Canal. After the reconstruction work was completed, the waste rubble from the project was backfilled into the canal, and the canal became a street again. Three tasks were completed by doing one thing, which was called three goals at one time, and the cost saved was calculated in billions.
Kou Zhun and Ding Wei were friends at first, but also confidants. One day, Kou Zhun discussed matters with another prime minister Li Ying, and Ding Wei came to pay a visit and talked for a while. When he left, Li Ying reminded Kou Zhun: "A man like Ding Wei must not let him gain power." Kou Zhun smiled and disagreed. Later, with Kou Zhun as prime minister, Ding Wei also ascended the position of deputy prime minister.
One day, the Secretariat held a banquet. Kou Zhun was not paying attention, and a little soup flowed onto his beard. Ding Wei hurriedly stepped forward to caress him. But Kou Zhun turned cold and said, "What kind of morality is it to flatter a deputy prime minister to his superiors? The words made Ding Wei unable to get out of the stage. After that, Ding Wei hated Kou Zhun and looked for Kou Zhun's shortcomings everywhere in private.
Ding Wei replied: "The funds are enough, and the plan is enough." After hearing this, Zhao Heng decided to Fengshan Mountain and appointed Ding Wei as the food and grass envoy to manage the Taishan Road, responsible for all the funds. He first borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury in the name of the Three Divisions, and ordered each state to offer money and tribute, and gathered at the foot of Mount Tai before October. The Fengshan team was in a vast and powerful manner."
Zhao Heng ordered Hanlin Taichang to carefully determine the notes of the rituals, appointed Wang Dan as the envoy of the great rituals, Wang Qinruo and others as the envoy of the rituals, Feng Zheng and Chen Yaosou were in charge of the rituals, Ding Wei took charge of the food and grass, and everyone was busy, and the whole country was almost crazy, and it took several months to plan. So Zhao Heng ordered Wang Qinruo to travel east and go to Mount Tai to prepare for the Fengshan.
Wang Qinruo arrived at Qianfeng and sent an envoy to report a memorial saying that on June 1, a carpenter, Dong Zuo, saw a yellow silk floating on grass on the north of Liquan Pavilion in Mount Tai. When he approached, he saw that except for the word "Zong", there was no other word on it, so he asked Wang Qinruo to read it. Wang Qinruo looked closely and knew it was "Auspicious Picture of the Book of Heaven Again", so he wore his hands and was in a dignified manner to welcome the head of the society, and then knelt down to be the chief official and went to the emperor to serve. At the same time, he also said that after he came to Mount Tai, he dreamed of a god twice and asked for the construction of a temple.
Zhao Heng then came to Chongzheng Hall again, and sent a group of ministers to say loudly: "On the night of May Bingzi, I dreamed of the gods of the day before yesterday, and came to see me. He said that it was early next month to issue a letter of heaven on Mount Tai. I immediately ordered Wang Qinruo to investigate carefully. Now it is indeed consistent with the dream sign, and I surrendered to Mount Tai. The blessing of God is a great success. Zhao Heng felt guilty of his lack of virtue and was afraid that he could not answer the heavenly mortal."
