Life of the characters

Wang qinruo (962-1025 A.D.) was born in Xinyu, Jiangxi Province. The Prime Minister of song Zhenzong and the representative of the moderates.

Wang qinruo was a member of the first division of Jinshi in the third year of Chunhua (1992). Tired official know Zhigao, Hanlin bachelor. In the fourth year of Xianping (1001), Wang qinruo served as a political adviser. In the first year of Jingde (1004), Qidan went south in a large scale, surrounded Yingzhou (now Hejian of Hebei Province), and invaded Beihe (now qinghexi of Hebei Province) and Weihe (now Beida of Hebei Province). He secretly invited Zhenzong to Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), which was blocked by Kou Zhun. Later, it was sentenced to Tianxiong Army (now the north of the river is named East). Because he didn't agree with Kou Zhun, he asked to leave his job and majored in CE Fu Yuan GUI. He vigorously stirred up the relationship between song Zhenzong and Kou Zhun, accused the alliance of Chanyuan as the alliance under the city, and made Kou Zhun quit the prime minister.

In the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu, song Zhenzong dreamt that God gave "heavenly book" to Mount Tai. In order to cater to song Zhenzong, he forged heavenly book, offered Fu Rui and granted Mount Tai as a great achievement. Dazhong Xiangfu five years (1012) for privy, Tongping Zhangshi.

Main achievements

be opportunistic

Invite others to do what you have done. When Wang qinruo was taichangcheng and the third division of the court (Yantie, Duzhi and Hubu) in charge of the debt, Duzhi magistrate Wu Bingu once said to him: "since the Five Dynasties, although the government has been urging people to pay for the money and grain owed by the people who fled, they still can't pay it because the people's surnames are too poor to afford. I will ask the emperor to reduce the amount of money. " Wang Yiting thought it was a good business to ask for credit and reward. He ordered people to calculate the total amount of money and grain in arrears and the percentage of reduction and exemption. The next day, he took the lead in playing Zhenzong in his own name. At the sight of this memorial, Zhenzong was shocked and asked Wang, "doesn't the emperor know about this?" Wang leisurely quipped: "the former Emperor knew it, but he intended to leave it to his majesty to deal with, in order to win the hearts of the people." On hearing this, Zhenzong immediately ordered the relief of more than 10 million Dan of money and grain, and released more than 3000 prisoners. From then on, Zhenzong attached great importance to Wang gengqi and called him Hanlin bachelor. After the adjustment, Xichuan pacify and bring back the court, and give advice to the left, and participate in the political affairs (Deputy Prime Minister).

Cater to the Emperor

They engage in absurd superstitious activities. Once, Zhenzong had a dream that the man of God said to him, "I give you a letter from heaven to Mount Tai." Zhenzong was superstitious in Taoism and believed it to be true. He told Wang qinruo about it secretly. In order to cater to the emperor's wishes, Wang faked the book of heaven, which is the so-called auspicious picture of the book of heaven coming down again, and offered the true ancestor through the court officials.

In addition, he made up the plot by carefully arranging the plan in advance, stitching it up in all directions. It was said that on the first day of June of a certain year, a carpenter Dong Zuo saw a yellow silk floating on the grass in the north of Liquan Pavilion in Mount Tai. He picked it up and asked qinruo to have a look. If you look at it carefully, you can see that it's the auspicious picture of the book of heaven coming down again. Then you wash your hands and welcome it to the head of the society. Then you kneel down and give it to the middle officials and worship the emperor. At the same time, he also said that after he came to Mount Tai to take office, he had two dreams of God and man and asked for the construction of additional temples.

When Wang qinruo told this story, Zhenzong believed it. He established Taishan as a Buddhist temple and built temples on Taishan, which was a waste of money and money. Wang qinruo also made a big profit and ordered him to be the Deputy envoy of Tianshu Yiwei and the Minister of the Ministry of officials (because of the disagreement with Kou Zhun, he had given up participating in politics and the affairs of the Privy Council for the minister Zuo Cheng). In the following year, he was promoted to privy minister and Minister of tongzhongshu.

alienate one person from another

Slander hurts people and attacks political enemies. In the first year of Jingde, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty (1004 AD), the northern Qidan (i.e. Liao state) army invaded the South on a large scale, and went deep into the Northern Song Dynasty capital, Chaozhou (now Puyang County, Henan Province), north of Kaifeng. In order to avoid Khitan's influence, Wang qinruo was in charge of moving the capital to Jinling (now Nanjing). Chen yaosou, a minister from Sichuan, advocated moving the capital to Chengdu. Only Kouzhun, the prime minister, insisted on the war of resistance. He not only did not advocate moving the capital, but also advocated song Zhenzong's personal expedition. He said that today, "if the generals and officials are in harmony, the thieves will flee." if the capital is moved to the south, "the hearts of the people will collapse." Khitan took advantage of the situation Then the world can not be guaranteed.

Finally, song Zhenzong reluctantly listened to Kou Zhun's words, held his ground and fought with him personally. When the army and the people of Hebei heard that the emperor and the prime minister were coming, they were in a very high mood for the Anti Japanese War, "cheering enthusiastically and hearing about it for decades. Khitan looked at each other in dismay and could not be listed. Because song Zhenzong gave Kou Zhun all the military command, "the orders were clear and the soldiers were happy," Kou Zhun was resolute, resolute, resourceful and calm in the war of resistance against the enemy. Therefore, as soon as the song army contacted Qidan, the Qidan army was "captured more than half" and shot to death its general Talan.

The victory of this campaign could have taken the opportunity to move northward and recover the lost territory. However, due to the personal expedition of song Zhenzong, he was not voluntary and "tired of soldiers". In addition, the capitulationists obstructed him, made rumors and attacked Kou Zhun. As a result, in his absolute superiority, Zhenzong agreed to make peace with Khitan, and Kou Zhun was forced to accept it. He signed a so-called "three hundred thousand" agreement with Khitan“ The humiliating peace treaty of the alliance of Chanyuan (which is a lake in the southwest of Chanzhou). Of course, the alliance of Chanyuan itself is not worth praising. However, in the first battle of Chanzhou, the enemy was defeated, and the remaining enemies abandoned their armour and dragged their troops away. The main reason is that Kou Zhun's command was proper. Song Zhenzong was very clear about this. Therefore, when the war ended, he attached more importance to Kou Zhun.

However, Wang qinruo, who "never agreed with Kou Zhun", took the opportunity to sow dissension and slander. One day, Kouzhun will retreat first, and Zhenzong will see him off. If Qin saw this, he said, "Your Majesty respects the enemy, because he has made contributions to the country?" The emperor said, "ran." Qinruo asked again, "Your Majesty is not ashamed of the battle of Chanyuan. He said that he must have made contributions to the country. Why?" At that time, the emperor was stunned and couldn't tell the truth. After asking "why", Qin Ruo said: "the alliance under the city is shameful in the spring and Autumn Annals, and the act of Chanyuan is also the alliance under the city. It's shameful to be the alliance under the city with the value of Wancheng! "

Song Zhenzong was not happy to hear that. Before he spoke, Wang qinruo added: "Your Majesty, did you hear about gambling? If a blogger wants to lose all his money, he will give it all, which is called Gu Zhu. Your majesty, Kouzhun's lonely remark is also dangerous. " In the second year of Jingde, Wang Dan was appointed prime minister, and Kou Zhun was demoted to minister of the Ministry of punishment. Although Kou Zhun has been cheated, his patriotism and excellent political quality are recognized by the people. Therefore, in the drama, he appears as a typical "honest and upright official".

shift the blame on others

During the Xianping period of emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Wang qinruo was the chief examiner of imperial examination. Linjin Renyi, an examinee, opened the back door for the admission, indirectly through Huiqin, a monk of Wang Youhao, sent 350 taels of bribe bank notes to Wang's family. At that time, Wang was invigilating the examination. The name of Ren Yi was secretly written on the arm of Qi Rui, a servant of Wang's family, by his wife Li. Qi Rui told Wang in the name of bringing soup to Wang. Qi Rui also told Wang about Ren Yi's bribe. Although the pickling trade was completed, it was later reported that Zhao Changyan, the censor Zhongcheng, arrested Qi Rui, Ren Yi and others, and sparingly asked the emperor to arrest qinruo.

The censor tortured Ren Yi about the cheating. Ren said: his brother-in-law Zhang Jia knew the examiner Hong Zhan, and once went to Hong's house with Zhang to talk about opening the back door of the exam. But later, he really bribed him indirectly through monk Hui Qin and others. He didn't know who the bribed person was. Although Qi Rui and Hui Qin were tortured, they admitted that they had done the above-mentioned business. However, when Wang qinruo was interrogated in Taichang temple, Wang totally denied the confession of Qi Rui and Hui Qin. Qi came to his house as a servant a few days ago (Qi used to be a petty official when Wang was a judge of Bozhou. Although he had been with Wang for many years, Qi's household had been in Bozhou, and later he moved to Wang's house, so Wang pretended that Qi came to his house as a servant a few days ago). He did not trust Qi, and Qi could not do this kind of business. When it comes to the relationship with Huiqin, Wang admitted that he had a good friendship with each other, but Huiqin never visited his family.

Because of Wang's sophistry, these two points can not be implemented. In view of Wang's popularity at that time, the justice department didn't dare to investigate deeply. At last, the bribery and fraud in the examination room fell on the examiner Hong Zhan
