Protect King Kang

In November 1126 (the first year of Jingkang), Zhao Gou, king of Kang, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, was ordered to send an envoy to Cizhou (now Cixian County, Hebei Province). At that time, there were cavalry from the state of Jin everywhere. Hundreds of cavalry once went to Cizhou city to track Zhao Gou's whereabouts. Wang Boyan immediately asked Zhao Gou to return to Xiangzhou by silk script. Wang Boyan carried the bag with bow and arrow on his back, and his men met Zhao Gou by the Yellow River. Zhao Gou comforted him and said, "when I see the emperor in the future, I will first recommend you to be Jing Zhaoyin." Wang Boyan became Zhao Gou's confidant and won Zhao Gou's trust. In November of 1126 ad (the first year of Jingkang), Zhao Gou received the wax book, set up the commander-in-chief mansion of Dayuan, and appointed Wang Boyan as the deputy general. Zhao Gou led his troops across the river and planned where he would go. Everyone said different things. Wang Boyan thought that he had to go out of the north gate to cross the Zicheng. When Zhao Gou heard Wang Boyan's words, he was very happy. He thought he was right, so he crossed Zicheng from the north gate. After passing through Zicheng, Zhao Gou went from Daming (now Daming County of Hebei Province) to Nanjing (now Shangqiu south of Henan Province) through Yunzhou (now yuncheng county east of Shandong Province) and Jizhou (now Chiping southwest of Shandong Province). The people in Zhao Gou's department were all mobs. The situation was often critical, and they relied on Wang Boyan's care to be safe. After Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, he asked the court to let Wang Boyan be the editor of Jiying hall.

Gao zongchongxing

When the Jin soldiers approached Bianliang (now Kaifeng in Henan Province), Emperor qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued an imperial edict saying that the Cashman was trying to make peace with the Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou, king of the Kang Dynasty, led his troops and should not act rashly. Wang Boyan thinks it can. Zongze said that the Jin people were arrogant and treacherous, and peace negotiation was a strategy to postpone the war. If you believe them, you can't regret it too late, so you should go to the army immediately. Wang Boyan and others obstructed him. When Bianliang was conquered, the Jin people captured song Huizong and song qinzong and went north. Zhang bangchang became emperor. When Zhao Gou heard this, he burst into tears. In the spring of 1127 A.D. (the second year of Jingkang), Zhao Gou appointed Wang Boyan to be the commander of Xianmo Pavilion according to the emperor's will. Soon after, he was promoted to the rank of Marshal and direct bachelor. In May of the same year, Zhao Gou ascended to the throne as Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty and was promoted to the Privy Council of Wang Boyan. In June, he was promoted to Privy Council. In December 1128 (the second year of Jianyan), song Gaozong appointed Wang Boyan as his right servant.

He was demoted many times

At the beginning of Emperor Gaozong's accession to the throne, people all over the world looked forward to peace. At that time, Wang Boyan was in charge of peace, opposed the resistance to Jin, and urged song Gaozong to move south to Yangzhou (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). In 1129 (the third year of Jianyan), Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan served as prime ministers. They were autocratic and could not put forward any policy. They were impeached by the imperial censor, the remonstrant, the common people and the internal servants. Wang Boyan was dismissed as the grand Bachelor of Guanwen palace and the governor of Hongzhou, and later changed to the promotion of Chongfu palace. In February of the same year, the Jin soldiers captured Yangzhou, and Wang Boyan was demoted to live in Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan). In 1131 A.D. (the first year of Shaoxing), Wang Boyan resumed his official post and served as Zhizhou and Jiangdong pacification Ambassador of Chizhou (now Guichi, Anhui). The Taijian official thought that Wang Boyan could not be arranged in this way, so he ordered Wang Boyan to manage the palace with his old official position and soon became the governor of Guangzhou. In 1134 ad (the fourth year of Shaoxing), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty praised Chen Dong and Ouyang Che. Wang Juzheng, a hermit, kept talking about Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, and Wang Boyan's previous official posts were dismissed.

The official returned to his original post

In 1137 (the seventh year of Shaoxing), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty said to the Assistant Minister: "the old staff and subordinates of Marshal's mansion often died, and only Wang Boyan was left to tide over the difficulties together. There is little left of my old days, so Wang Boyan's official position should be restored. " Qin Hui and Zhang Jun said: "we have discussed to obtain the imperial edict when we worship the heaven in the suburbs, and then get the God's proof of Wang Boyan's past contributions, so that we can convince the Chinese and foreign people." When Wang Boyan didn't make the entrance examination, Qin Hui studied with him at Wang Ben's Library in Qimen County, and Zhang Jun was also recommended by Wang Boyan, so they spoke well for Wang Boyan. In 1139 ad (the ninth year of Shaoxing), Wang Boyan was appointed the magistrate of Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui). He went to the court to meet song Gaozong. Song Gaozong said to Qin Hui, "Wang Boyan is a casually appointed official post, hoping to get rid of people's discussion." He added: "Wang Boyan is an old member of King Kang's mansion. He left the capital for seven years. It is human nature that emperor Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty do not forget the old days of Feng, Pei and Nanyang. " Wang Boyan presented five volumes of Zhongxing calendar, which he had written. He was appointed as Shaofu and Jiedushi of Baoxin army. In 1140 A.D. (the 10th year of Shaoxing), Wang Boyan asked for a temporary post in charge of ancestral temples, which was approved by Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty. Wang Boyan died on the third day of may in 1141 (the eleventh year of Shaoxing) at the age of 73. Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty mourned very much. Nine days later, in addition to Kaifu Yi and his three secretaries, he gave his family ten hectares of land, thousand taels of silver and thousand pieces of silk. The funeral was handled by the imperial court, and two of his relatives were granted a post in Raozhou, with the posthumous title of "Zhongding".

Anecdotes

Two prime ministers of the first hospital

It is said that Wang Boyan was born in a poor family, but he had few talents. When he was a scholar in middle school and studying at home for the imperial examination, Wang Ben, the magistrate of Qimen County, took a fancy to Wang Boyan. He specially built a "talent house" to invite Wang Boyan to be a teacher. Wang Ben took his nephew Qin Hui from Nanjing to Qimen to learn from Wang Boyan. It is said that when Qin Hui was studying in the elite school, someone else predicted that there would be two prime ministers in a college in Xiaoyi, Qishan.

My son is captured by gold

At the beginning, Wang Boyan had already left Xiangzhou. The Jin people arrested his son, Wang Yue, the military supervisor, and asked him to cede the land, including Xiangzhou. When Zhao, the Minister of Xiangzhou, did not try to keep the city, the Jin people took Wang to the state of Jin, and he came back for a long time. Some people say that Wang Si can come back, but in fact Wang Boyan sent someone to redeem it. Wang Si later changed his name to Wang Zhaosi.

personal works

He has five volumes of Zhongxing calendar, ten volumes of Chunqiu Dayi, dozens of chapters, zouyi, essays, and thirty volumes of three Biographies (Chunqiu Gongyang biography, Chunqiu Guliang biography, Chunqiu Zuoshi Biography).

Historical evaluation

Tuotuo: Boyan and Qianshan have been in phase for more than ten years. They have their own power and can't have classics. Zhao Gou: but Wang Boyan is in the same difficulty. There are few of my old friends, so we should take them back.
