Life of the characters
Bocha Mingmin
Song Shou was born in the second year of Chunhua (1991) of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. His father, song Gao, once served as a member of Shangshu Du branch, wailang, Zhiji Xianyuan, etc. Song Shou was smart and resourceful when he was a child, and his forehead was strange, so he was highly valued and favored by his grandfather Yang Huizhi. His mother Yang was also knowledgeable and polite, and often taught his son himself. Therefore, song Shou learned a lot about classics and history, and his articles were highly praised.
Study in the secret Pavilion
In the third year of Xianping (1000), Yang Huizhi died, and yizou asked song Shou to fill Taizhu in Taichang temple, which was approved by the imperial court. In 1005, when song Shou was 15 years old, he was called to take an examination in Zhongshu province. Song Zhenzong loved his articles, promoted him to Dali, and allowed him to study in the secret Pavilion at will. In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), song Shou took the examination of bachelor's college again, and was appointed as a college manager of Jixian University. Later, he was granted Jinshi background and promoted to Dali Temple Cheng.
Bumpy official career
When Zhenzong sacrificed to fenyin (now Wanrong County, Shanxi Province), he called song Shou to go with him. Qian Yi, Chen Yue and Liu Yun were responsible for collecting local chronicles, local people and historical anecdotes of the places they had visited. Every time they stayed there, they played these contents on Zhenzong. Song Shou was appointed to be the judge of Bozhou when he was going to sacrifice in the Taiqing palace in Bozhou (now Bozhou, Anhui Province) and the Taiqing palace in Luyi, Henan Province. After a long time, he was appointed as the third judge. He once suggested: "last year, there were 68 states that released fugitives and criminals under amnesty, but failed to report the implementation to the imperial court within the time limit. Please appoint officials from all walks of life to specially assess and supervise the implementation, and stipulate that they must report to the higher authorities within half a month. " As a result, 3200 people were released from bondage and millions of money were saved. He was promoted to zhizhigao, liuneiquan of the Ministry of officials, Xiuzhuan of the historical museum, and judge of yuqingzhao palace. Lei moved to Hubu doctor and Quanzhi bachelor's college, participated in the compilation of zhenzongshilu, and was promoted to Zuoshi doctor. Later, he served as Hanlin bachelor, assistant scholar and activity three class college. At first, he was instructed by the imperial court to read the history of the Tang Dynasty, insisted on seeking advice from the three classes of scholars, and then carefully told the story to song Renzong. He was promoted to be a scholar in the middle school because he studied the history of the country. In the seventh year of Tiansheng (1029), the Zhaoying palace of Yuqing was burned down by fire, and song Shou was removed from the title of Hanlin and Shidu. A year later, he returned to Hanlin. After the completion of the national history, song Shou was promoted to minister of the Ministry of Shangshu and a bachelor. At that time, Empress Dowager Liu (empress Zhang xianmingsu) still called the system. She went to Chengming palace every five days to listen to the government and decide major events. However, Renzong never met his subjects alone. Song Shou said: "in the Xianxian (712-713) years of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty was the supreme emperor. He went to the court once every five days to deal with military and state affairs, appoint and remove officials below three grades, and adjudicate all kinds of penalties for hard labor. Now we should also refer to the system of Xiantian years, and make the ministers report in the front hall. If it is not a military and national event, the appointment and removal of officials can directly listen to the emperor's will. " Song Shou was demoted to be a Bachelor of LongTuge because he disobeyed the will of the Empress Dowager. He went out of Beijing to know yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan).
On the administration of the imperial court
In 1033, Empress Dowager Liu passed away. Renzong recalled song Shou's words on that day and prepared to reuse him. However, Zhang Shixun, the prime minister, stopped him and only reinstated him as a scholar. Renzong issued an imperial edict to discuss the etiquette of the temple for Empress Zhang xianmingsu and empress Zhang Yi (Li Chenfei). According to the spring and Autumn Annals, song Shou requested to build another palace, named fengci temple, to house the two empress dowagers. Most of these suggestions were adopted by Renzong. The imperial court began to set up Duanming palace scholars, and song Shou was appointed as the official. Song Shou resolutely declined. He also said: "the most important thing for emperors to rule the world is to take over power. In the past ten years, the decrees came from the Empress Dowager after the curtain. Since your majesty handled all kinds of affairs in person, both inside and outside the imperial court have been looking forward to your holy and wise administration. Therefore, you should punish those who violate the law, get rid of the bad administration, and make the people fresh and fresh. Now there is no worse reward and punishment order than in the past. Isn't it that the three ministers can't do their best to assist his Majesty's rule? In the past, when the Empress Dowager was in power, she was too stingy in promoting officials. However, some evil, sycophantic and lucky villains were promoted out of the ordinary, which was regarded as the grace of the Empress Dowager. Nowadays, although the policy of rewarding officials has been implemented, it is said that it came from the ministers. How could it be so if the ministers had not colluded with each other to deceive his majesty? As a major malady of the imperial court, the formation of the clique of the labang is the same in ancient and modern times. Or spy on your Majesty's will, and then secretly order the officials to play accordingly; or convey the imperial edict with their own ideas, so as to decide the rise and fall of officials. The trend is growing, which is harmful to national politics. Taizong once said, "a country without external worries must have internal troubles. External worries are just border wars, which can be prevented. If evil people collude with each other to cause internal troubles, they are extremely terrible. " Zhenzong also said: "in the Tang Dynasty, the clique was so serious that the royal family was weakened." I hope your majesty will think about the instructions of his ancestors, read the hardships of Wang Ye and rectify the discipline. Now is the right time. " After Zhang Shixun dismissed the prime minister, Renzong appointed song Shou as the Deputy Prime Minister. At the beginning, the imperial court issued an edict to stop the construction of various temples and Taoist temples, but empress Zhang Hui (empress Zhang Hui) changed the old house into a Taoist temple, which was raised by the admonishmen and the censor. Renzong said, "this is the Dowager's dowry property. Is the admonishment and censor criticizing this to gain fame?" Song Shou remonstrated: "how do they know this is what the Empress Dowager did? Only when they saw that the construction project was in violation of the latest imperial edict, they made comments. What's more, it's just suspected. They also accuse it of being an excuse. If your majesty has a big flaw, how can you ignore it, even though the nearest ministers don't say it, but they know it all the way around and become a drag on the sage politics? Taizu once said, "it's not a shame that Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was slandered by the admonishment officials." Why didn't your majesty act without fault, so that the remonstrators had nothing to say? " In the same year, after empress Guo was abolished, Renzong ordered song Shou to draft an imperial edict, saying: "we should seek people with noble moral character and family status, so as to conform to the name of Kun." Later, Renzong led the rich man's daughter into the palace. Song Shou said, "does your majesty want to take the humble man as the master of the harem? Is this not in contradiction with the words of the imperial edict the day before yesterday?" A few days later, the prime minister, Wang Zengsheng, also exhorted this matter. Renzong said: "Song Shou also said so." At that time, the ministers admonished one after another, and eventually Renzong did not appoint Chen as Queen. At that time, Ren Zong was old, and the world was peaceful for a long time. Considering that the desire for happiness had increased, song Shou said, "if people indulge in comfort for a long time, disasters and disasters will happen when they are negligent. Therefore, we should set up defenses when there is nothing to do, and eliminate disturbances before they are in the bud. Isn't it dangerous to deal with things when they come? I hope your majesty can rectify and encourage departments at all levels, and not be lazy because of the peace in the world. " He also said: "there are three ways to control the subordinates: stick to the principles, be decisive and carefully analyze in advance. If you can stick to the principle, the traitor can't change him, if you can make a bold decision, you won't be confused by evil, if you can plan carefully, you can't disturb him. I hope your majesty will remember these three points. If you can live in the harem, harmonize the taste of vocal music with the six Qi, keep the restraint and catharsis in accordance with the four seasons, and maintain the holy body, it will be the blessing of the ancestral temple Later, he became the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs.
Know Henan
At that time, the Prime Minister Lu Yijian and Wang had different opinions on many occasions when discussing politics. Most of song Shou supported LV Yi Jian, while Cai QIPO, a political advisor, supported Wang Zeng. Therefore, the political affairs could not be decided according to the law. The four people were dismissed in 1037. Song Shou served Renzong as a minister Zuo Cheng and a Bachelor of zizhengdian, and gave lectures to him. He had the right to judge the minister as a governor. In the first year of Baoyuan (1038), he was appointed as a Bachelor of zizhengdian and a minister of rites in zhihenan prefecture (now Luoyang, Henan).
Ten strategies for painting
In the first year of Kangding (1040), the battle of sanchuankou broke out, and the generals Liu Ping and Shi yuansun were defeated and captured. Renzong personally issued an edict to ask the foreign ministers for offensive and defensive strategies. Song Shou planned ten important events for Chen Renzong, so he was called to know the Privy Council Affairs again. In September, he was promoted to minister of the Ministry of arms and took part in political affairs. When song Shou paid homage to his vice Prime Minister again, his mother was still alive. After he got sick, he was unable to deal with political affairs, but he still insisted on living independently and arranging his own affairs.
