Chapter 795: An accidental injury caused the queen to be abandoned

Li Wu looked at Fan Zhongyan. What can I say? Of course, that is a good idea.

Fan Zhongyan said, "I can't say flattering words," he just wanted to make the Song Dynasty better.

Compared with other dynasties, the Song Dynasty was still too weak. Even though they said they had the help of immortals, their development was still a little slow compared to other dynasties.

"What a coincidence, I can't tell it either," Zhang Heng said with a smile. He was quite good at arguing with others. He would argue with anyone who dared to provoke him, regardless of the other person's identity.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Later, Senior Fan Zhongyan, you chose to stay away from the court and took the initiative to apply to be an official in the local area.

Although you, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, have always been concerned about the country and the people after you became a local official, and have submitted memorials to the emperor on political issues many times.

However, these memorials were naturally never adopted by the court, but your loyalty, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, moved Song Renzong.

In 1033 AD, Empress Dowager Liu passed away and Emperor Renzong of Song began to rule the country. Mr. Fan Zhongyan was summoned to the capital and appointed as the Right Censor.

In July, there was a severe drought and locust plague throughout the country, and the disaster was particularly serious in the Jianghuai and Jingdong areas.

In order to calm the people's hearts, you, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, requested the court to send people to inspect the disaster, but Song Renzong ignored it. Later, he was persuaded by you, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, and sent you to pacify the disaster.

What can we say about natural disasters? No matter where they occur, they should be taken seriously. No matter whether they are big or small, the people are the ones who suffer," said Li Wu. In ancient times, natural disasters would certainly kill people. Alas, but human life was not valuable in ancient times.

"You are right, little immortal," said Fan Zhongyan.

When the common people in front of the sky heard the words of the little fairy, they all said that the little fairy was good and good for them, and that he was a god in the hearts of the people.

The people have always firmly believed that the little fairy is a god who came to help them. They even built a temple and erected a monument for the little fairy and worshiped him every day.

As for those officials, they feel that there are few good officials, especially when a disaster strikes, they, the people, have the hardest time.

They don't care about the lives of their people at all, they only know how to embezzle. There is not much food left in the hands of their people, they are simply forcing their people to die.

Of course, that was in the past. A lot of the disaster relief money issued by the imperial court was embezzled, and this was something that many people knew tacitly. After layers of exploitation, how much would be left in the hands of the people?

Now it’s no longer possible, they just say directly in the barrage, who dares to embezzle?

Especially when it comes to disaster relief funds, if they are embezzled, the consequences will be even more serious.

Officials only feel that their lives are becoming more and more difficult because they are being watched every day.

However, the Song Dynasty was not so bad. Compared with other dynasties, the salaries were still relatively high. The Ming Dynasty was quite miserable. Although the salaries were increased a lot, they were not increased much.

But the ministers were also happy. Any improvement is good. Fortunately, the immortal spoke for them, otherwise there would be no improvement.

"But I think it's not that the imperial court doesn't want to intervene. At that time, there wasn't that much food. But now that we have food, we have to minimize the damage," Li Wu said with a smile. In the past, they could use the excuse that there was no food or silver, but now they can't do that.

"That's right, this is all thanks to you, little immortal," Zhang Heng said with a smile. He was really happy now. Now that their Song Dynasty has been unified and is slowly expanding outward, this is naturally a happy thing.

"No, no, I'm not that great," Li Wu laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She pretended to cough twice and said, "I, I'd better continue to talk about the deeds of our predecessor Fan Zhongyan." But don't praise her. She will feel uncomfortable if you praise her and can't help it.

The three of them laughed, knowing the little fairy's personality.

"In the same year, Empress Guo accidentally injured Emperor Renzong of Song. At that time, Prime Minister Lu Yijian, who was at odds with Empress Guo, joined forces with other ministers and advocated the dethronement of the empress.

As soon as this news spread, the ministers talked about it and felt that it was not appropriate to depose the queen. Senior Fan Zhongyan also went to make suggestions at that time, but Song Renzong did not see it.

In December of the following year, Empress Guo was finally deposed and entered a Taoist temple to practice Buddhism.

How to explain this matter, Empress Guo did not do it on purpose. It was just that Song Renzong wanted to protect the beauty, but he was slapped by Empress Guo.

But it is indeed embarrassing. After all, Song Renzong is still an emperor after all.

But how can we put it? Song Renzong was angry at the time for deposing the queen. Later, he regretted it and began to miss Queen Guo. He wanted her to come back, but unfortunately, Queen Guo suddenly died at the age of 23.

Song Renzong was so regretful that it was too late, so people are just... ahem," Li Wu didn't say the word "cheap" and swallowed it back.

"People only know how to cherish and regret when they lose something, but it is already too late by then," Li Wu shook his head. Many people are like this. They only know how to cherish when they lose something. There is no exception.

The three of them nodded, indeed it was true.

However, it is difficult for them to say anything about the matter of accidental injury. In fact, it is a big deal and a small matter. It depends on what Song Renzong thinks, right?

But I think this time, the queen will not be deposed. Everyone knows what will happen next, and Song Renzong should know what to do.

In front of the skylight, Song Renzong looked grim. The queen was in good health, so how could she suddenly die two years later?

But now the queen has been deposed, and everyone in the world knows about this matter, and also knows that he has been slapped in the face. This, this, he has lost all his face.

In the barrage, many emperors spoke up, saying that it was just that he was accidentally injured by the queen, what was the big deal, and how could he have the nerve to depose the queen?

However, some emperors felt that being slapped in the face was not something that could be let go, but it was not necessary to depose the empress. Later, Emperor Taizu of Song issued an order not to depose the empress. Deposing the empress for such a small matter would at most be a fine, and it was not worth deposing her.

It is not an easy matter to depose a queen!

After reading the barrage, and with the persuasion of his ministers, Song Renzong also thought of the good things about Queen Guo and later restored her to his throne. The main reason was that Song Renzong did not want to regret it later. If the queen really died, he would definitely regret it.

In fact, he regretted it after he deposed the queen. At that time, the queen refused to admit her mistake to him and even spoke rudely to him. He was so angry that he deposed the queen.

Never mind, never mind, just be generous for once.

"In 1036 AD, you, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, were dissatisfied with the Prime Minister Lü Yijian's control of government affairs, cultivating cliques and appointing cronies, so you presented the "Map of Officials" to Emperor Renzong of Song, criticizing the prime minister's employment system.

Lü Yijian was not to be outdone, saying that Senior Fan Zhongyan was pedantic, and the argument became more and more intense. Senior Fan Zhongyan even went on for four chapters, saying that you were not as good as Lü Yijian, so you were demoted," Li Wu looked at him sympathetically.

Fan Zhongyan pursed his lips. This was actually normal. After all, Lu Yijian was the prime minister, and many people in the court were his people.

"This dispute between Fan and Lu has implicated many people. Senior Fan Zhongyan was banished from the capital, and few people dared to see you off, fearing that they would be implicated. This is understandable."
