This fashion book left-handed prime minister Zhang Kangguo has been promoted to the position of the Privy Council, and he was originally recommended by Cai Jing. Soon after, he was promoted to the level. After serving in the Privy Council, he and Cai Jing competed for power and set up their own business. Sometimes when he met Zhao Ji, he would have to slander Cai Jing. It just so happened that Cai Jing felt that Cai Jing was becoming more and more arrogant, so he secretly ordered Zhang Kangguo to monitor Cai Jing and said, "If you can do your best, you can replace Cai Jing as the prime minister."

When Zhang Kangguo heard this, he was naturally very happy. He sent someone to monitor Cai Jing's actions day and night. When he heard some turbulent news, he immediately reported it to him. Cai Jing had already noticed it, so he recommended Wu Zhizhong as the chief minister and asked him to impeach Zhang Kangguo. However, Zhang Kangguo had already received the news first, so he took the initiative. He took advantage of Zhao Ji's court and hurried in and knelt down and said, "Wu Zhizhong came in today, and must have impeached the Wei minister for Cai Jing. Wei minister would rather avoid the throne and avoid being resentful to Cai Jing."

Zhao Ji said, "I have my own opinions, don't worry too much!" Zhang Kangguo retreated to the palace. Wu Zhizhong really came forward to see him and told Zhang Kangguo's faults in person. Before he could finish his words, Zhao Ji was furious and said, "Do you dare to be instigated to slander? I see that you are not worthy of being the chief minister, get out!" Wu Zhizhong was disgraced and kowtowed to retreat to the court, scaring his face. That night, an edict condemned Wu Zhizhong and ordered him to leave the capital to serve as the governor of Chuzhou.

Cai Jing, who loves to engage in conspiracy, naturally refused to stop when he encountered this setback. So he tried every means to murder Zhang Kangguo. Zhang Kangguo knew it very well, so he was naturally careful. However, it was easy to avoid open guns and difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Even if he was careful, he could not keep a single misfortune. One day, Zhang Kangguo entered the court and retreated to the palace. He only drank a cup of tea, and felt a lot of pain in his abdomen and screamed. In less than half an hour, he was already stretching his tongue out, as if he was panting. The people in the palace rushed to help him to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the room, he opened his eyes and felt sad.

When the ministers heard that Zhang Kangguo had suddenly died, they guessed that they were poisoned, but it was not convenient to say it clearly. After hearing this, Zhao Ji was secretly surprised. On the surface, he had to give him a favor as usual and posthumously awarded him the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and gave him a beautiful posthumous posthumous name called Wen Jian, which was considered a settlement. Zhao Ji ordered Zheng Juzhong to act as an agent for Zhang Kangguo and also used Guan Shiren as the Tongzhi Academy.

Once, the Jiying Hall sang the name of a tribute scholar, and Lin Yan, the Minister of the Secretariat, reported his name. Among the tribute scholars, there was Zhen's name, but Lin Yan read Zhen as Yan and An as Yang. Zhao Ji happened to go to the palace to read it, and couldn't help but laugh, "You read it wrong." Lin Yan left and thought it was self-righteous and did not admit it. The people standing next to him could not help but laugh secretly. Lin Yan shouted loudly, "How can the palace be disgraceful!" Everyone felt very unfair after hearing his words.

So the censor impeached him for being uneducated, arrogant and disrespectful, and was ruthless as a minister. Zhao Ji dismissed Lin Yan's official position and demoted him to Dongxiao Palace. Zhao Ji appointed Yu Shen as the Minister of the Secretariat and Xue Ang as the Left Chief of the Shangshu. Xue Ang was also Cai Jing's gang, and the whole family dared not say the name Jing. If he said it accidentally, he would punish him. If Xue Ang mistakenly said it, he would slapp himself in the face. Cai Jing liked his obedience very much, so he recommended him to serve as a position.

However, since Zheng Juzhong was in power, he and Cai Jing had long grudges. So he secretly instructed the censor to report Cai Jing's crimes. The Chief Minister Shi Gongbi, the Censor Zhang Kegong and others accepted it.

Zheng Juzhong's instructions came to impeach Cai Jing one after another, and he wrote dozens of books, but it was ineffective. Zheng Juzhong failed to achieve one plan and another plan was created. Zheng Juzhong sold the alchemist Guo Tianxin and asked him to secretly report that there was a black man in the day, which was a sign of the prime minister's deception.

Zhao Ji happened to be very superstitious at this time and couldn't help but be frightened. So he gave up Cai Jing's position and was demoted to the envoy of Taiyi Palace, and was renamed Duke of Chu. The palace censors Hong Yansheng, Mao Zhu and others took the opportunity to make trouble and reported the serious crime of attacking Cai Jing, requesting to send Cai Jing out of the capital.

The Tai students Chen Chao Lao and others also went to the battlefield to talk about Cai Jing's evil. There were fourteen articles, saying that Cai Jing was abdicated by God, disregarding the king and father, making a fuss, making a fortune, making a lot of money, changing laws and regulations, making a fool of himself, likes to guide flattery, clinging to the censorship, pro-party, long-term competition, advocating the old man, poor land, and be proud of the long-term strategy.

At the end, the article in "Zuo Zhuan" was also quoted, including "Submitting to the four descendants to protect the demons". Zhao Jique ordered Cai Jing to retire and remained in the capital. Zhao Ji appointed He Zhizhong as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and was also the Minister of the disciples. Chen Chao Lao wrote another letter saying that He Zhizhong was incompetent, and Zhao Ji refused to obey.

In the summer of the fourth year of Daguan, comet appeared between Kuilou and Zhao Ji and Huizong Yuan, following the examples of the past, avoiding the palace and reducing food. He also ordered the attendants to bluntly talk about the gains and losses of the court. Shi Gongbi, Mao Zhu and others vigorously discussed Cai Jing's crimes, and Zhang Kegong also said that Cai Jing was ill and unfaithful, as many as dozens of things. Zhao Ji demoted Cai Jing to the Prince's Young Guardian and left Beijing to live in Hangzhou. Yu Shen lost a large amount of help and couldn't feel at ease. He also submitted a memorial to beg for dismissal and was sent to Qingzhou by Zhao Ji.

At that time, Zhang Shangying was transferred to the magistrate of Hangzhou. When he passed by the capital, he met Zhao Ji. During the interview with Zhao Ji, he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Cai Jing, so he secretly matched Zhao Ji's wishes. Zhao Ji then kept him in the capital and appointed him as the Minister of the Secretariat. Zhang Shangying's courtesy name was Tianjue and was from Xinjin, Shuzhou. He was tall and had a tall figure and stood up like jade. He was eloquent, arrogant and arrogant, and looked at the world.

In the second year of Emperor Yingzong's Zhiping, he was a Jinshi and served as the chief clerk of Tongchuan County. One day, he entered the temple and saw the complete volumes of the Tripitaka. He said angrily: "My Confucius's book is not as good as this!" He wanted to read the "Vimalama Sutra" and later read the "Vimalama Sutra". He was deeply moved and turned to Buddhism.

Soon, the barbarians in Yuzhou launched a rebellion. He persuaded the leader to surrender and was summoned by the court as the magistrate of Nanchuan. When Zhang Dun was governing Kuiyi, he often insulted the county officials, so no one dared to talk to him. Some people thought that only Zhang Shangying was enough to compete with him, so they sent an edict to summon him to Kuizhou. Zhang Dun asked about local talents, and the envoy introduced Zhang Shangying to him. Zhang Dun immediately called him to go in and have dinner together.

Zhang Shangying was wearing Taoist clothes and bowed to her. Zhang Dun was talking wildly. Zhang Shangying argued from time to time, and his behavior was elegant and superior to Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun was very happy and led him as a guest. Zhang Dun returned to the court and recommended him to Wang Anshi, so he was summoned by the emperor to question him and promoted him from the Lifang of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat to the Censor.

After Wang Anshi's reform, some people opposed the repeated abolition of the new law. Shang Ying wrote a letter saying: "I have not changed my father's way for three years, so I can be said to be filial. Now that the land of the former emperor's tomb has not yet dried, I will discuss the change. Can I be filial?" He cleverly used "filial piety" to maintain the reform. He also wrote to Su Shi, including dissatisfied words of "the old monk wanted to go to Wu Temple and scold Buddha and ancestors." Lu Gong listened

After saying that, he was very unhappy and transferred him out of the capital, first served as the Hedong Prison, and then served in Jiangxi and Huainan.

In the early years of Zhezong, Zhang Shangying served as the Promoter of Kaifeng Prefecture, served as the Hedian Penalty Prison, and served as the envoy of Hebei, Jiangxi and Huainan. Zhezong personally took office and summoned him to serve as the Right King and the Left Secretary. Zhang Shangying was very resentful of Minister Yuan Hu's failure to value himself, so he attacked them, accusing the eunuch Chen Yan of improving Empress Gao, and comparing her to Empress Lu and Wu Zetian. He asked the court to strip the posthumous titles given to Sima Guang and Lu Gong and destroy their tombstones and tombs; he said that Wen Yanbo was ungrateful, and Su Shi, Fan Zuyu, Sun Sheng, Han Chuan and others, so these people were condemned one after another.

Cai Jing served as prime minister, and Zhang Shangying had a good relationship with him. When he was drafting court documents, he praised him greatly. Soon he was appointed as the right prime minister of the Shangshu and transferred to the left prime minister. Soon, he disagreed with Cai Jing again and said many times that Cai Jing "as the prime minister, he was determined to cater to the monarch." Cai Jing was dismissed from the prime minister and his official title was removed from his official position, and Zhang Shangying was appointed as the governor of Ezhou. Cai Jing restored his position as prime minister, and Zhang Shangying was placed in Guizhou and Xiazhou as a scattered official.

In the fourth year of Daguan, Cai Jing was expelled again, and Zhang Shangying was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou. As a result, Zhao Ji was left in the court as the bachelor of the Zizheng Hall and the envoy of the Zhongtai Palace. Soon, he was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat. He was soon appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu. Cai Jing had long stolen power, and the court was resentful and indignant. When everyone saw Zhang Shangying dared to raise objections, they praised him as a virtuous minister many times.

Because he had reputation, Zhao Ji let him be the prime minister. At that time, he had a long drought. One day, a comet appeared in the sky. That night, the comet did not appear, and the next day, it rained heavily. Zhao Ji was very happy and wrote the word "Shang Lin" and gave it to Zhang Shangying.

Zhang Shangying handled government affairs fairly and believed that although Cai Jing advocated the restoration of the new law, he was just to threaten and control the king and imprison the literati. So he vigorously changed the bad government, abolished the ten-money and then reformed the currency system, restored the transfer of the warehouse, and abolished direct transportation, implemented paper money for commerce and travel, and exempted unreasonable taxes to reduce the burden on the people.

Zhang Shangying also persuaded Zhao Ji to restrain his luxurious and luxurious life, stop building civil engineering, and crack down on slander officials who are speculative and erectile slanders. Zhao Ji was quite afraid of him. He once repaired and decorated Shengping Building, and warned the officials to keep the craftsmen downstairs whenever he came on horseback, and he would not resume work until he walked over.

Zhao Ji wanted to appoint Yang Jian as the governor, and Zhang Shangying said: "The ancestral regulations and eunuchs do not serve as tutors. Those who have merits should be promoted should be given other envoys such as Zhaoxuan, Xuanzheng and other envoys to praise them. I have never heard of the need to grant Qiong Yue the military power." He has always insisted not to issue a letter of appointment, and people even praised him.

He once went to Mount Wutai to worship the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and had some sense. So he sculpted the statue of Manjushri in the mountain temple and wrote a vow. Soon, he encountered a severe drought, and he went into the mountain to pray for rain three times, so he was famous in the court. He returned 300 hectares of land in the monk temple to express his sincerity in worshiping Buddha. When he was a commissar of the Jianghuai, Jingzhe and other routes, he paid homage to Zen Master Chang of Donglin Temple and received the seal of the Zen Master.

Then he went to Zen Master Cong Yue in Tushita Temple to study. On the face of the temple, the poem "Don't look for the landfall in Mount Lu, the elephant king's nostrils are facing the sky", which means ridiculing Zen Master Cong Yue's inconsistency with Zen Master Donglin.
