    Chapter 165: Post-Abolition Troubles In November, the imperial court sent grain from the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers to rescue the victims of the Jingdong disaster.  But what shocked Zhao Yan even more than this was that Fan Xi had defected to Lu Yijian, and as a pioneer officer, captured Empress Guo!  Queen Guo can be said to be Zhao Juan's reinforcements in the palace.  I didn¡¯t expect that Lu Yijian¡¯s methods were so shocking!  Strictly speaking, the reason why Queen Guo was deposed cannot be said to be because of Lu Yijian's ability.  In fact, this is also the reason why Queen Guo doesn¡¯t know how to advance or retreat!  It has been said in the previous article that Queen Guo was not favored by Song Renzong, and it was all thanks to Liu E that she was established as queen.  In return, Queen Guo often snitched on Song Renzong and monitored Song Renzong's every move, which made Queen Guo quite arrogant and domineering in the palace.  After Liu E died of illness, Zhao Juan also persuaded Queen Guo to restrain herself.  Although this is the case, it cannot completely change Song Renzong's mind.  Without the restraint of Liu E, Song Renzong began to no longer favor Empress Guo with false affection, but instead favored Yang Meiren and Shang Meiren who had just entered the palace.  These two beauties are both twenty-eight years old, with good looks and graceful figures. They are naturally much better than Queen Guo, who is not very beautiful in the first place.  Because of Zhao Juan's persuasion, Queen Guo also endured it. Unexpectedly, two months had passed and Song Renzong only spent three nights at Queen Guo's place.  As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature!  Empress Guo had Liu E as her backer and had been arrogant and domineering in the palace for ten years. How could she change because of Zhao Juan's words?  Not to mention that Zhao Juan was not in Bianliang City, so there was no chance for Zhao Juan to persuade him.  Queen Guo couldn't hold back, and went to Shang Meiren and Yang Meiren's residence many times and cursed them.  How could Yang Mei and Shang Mei be willing to sit back and wait for death?  He complained to Song Renzong many times.  However, Song Renzong thought that Queen Guo and himself had been married for ten years, so he made peace with them.  It¡¯s just that dissatisfaction is inevitably planted in my heart.  It happened that one day in September, Song Renzong visited the Shang family. Shang Meiren once again told Song Renzong about Queen Guo's fault. Queen Guo came just at the same time. After hearing Shang Meiren's attack on her, Queen Guo was naturally angry.  Shang Meiren was not a light-hearted person either. She boasted that Song Renzong was relying on her, and the two of them started to argue on the spot in front of Song Renzong.  Queen Guo was so angry that she slapped Shang with her hands. Seeing this, Song Renzong hurriedly stepped forward to save Shang.  Queen Guo couldn't hold back her momentum and hit Song Renzong on the neck. Song Renzong was furious and wanted to depose Queen Guo.  Although he said that he wanted to depose Empress Guo, Song Renzong still missed his old friendship and felt regretful after saying this.  Unexpectedly, there is a little traitor next to him, and this person is none other than someone else!  It was Yan Wenying who told Lu Yijian about this matter.  Do you still remember that Lu Yijian went to the phase by himself?  Isn't it Zhao Juan and Queen Guo who are singing and harmonizing?  Zhao Juan and Lu Yijian did not find any clue, but Queen Guo and Lu Yijian were not willing to let it go.  However, Lu Yijian did not take the lead in this matter. After all, there was a rift between him and Queen Guo, which would inevitably give others the feeling of revenge.  Lu Yijian asked Fan Xi, the admonisher, to take the opportunity to say: "It has been nine years since I was established, and I still have no children, so my righteousness should be abolished." Lu Yijian himself echoed from the side.  As Lu Yijian's ally, he knew that Yan Wenying was naturally not to be outdone, and advised Song Renzong to show his fingerprints on his neck for the ministers to see.  Faced with the remarks of the ministers, Song Renzong was undecided. After all, deposing the queen was a big deal.  As an old-school scholar-bureaucrat who valued tradition, how did you agree with Fan Zhongyan¡¯s advice?  At that moment, he said angrily: "The Queen cannot be deposed. It is better to end this discussion as soon as possible and not let it spread to the outside world." After a while, Song Renzong, under the lobbying of Lu Yijian, finally made the decision to depose the Queen.  .  In order to achieve the purpose of deposing Queen Guo, Lu Yijian ordered the Taiwan admonishment department not to accept the admonishment officer's memorial.  Song Renzong issued an edict, saying: "The queen wishes to enter a Taoist temple because she has no children, so she is specially named Concubine Jing, Chongmiao Immortal Master of Yujing, named Qingwu, and lives separately in Changning Palace to raise her." This edict sounds nicer.  , that is, let Queen Guo go to the Taoist temple to do some pure cultivation.  What is Qingxiu?  Pure cultivation means practicing quietly without worrying about trivial matters in the world.  To put it bluntly, Queen Guo was under house arrest.  Zhao Juan naturally had some persuasion, but as expected, the memorial fell into disgrace.  Zhao Juan had no choice but to stay away from Bianliang City, but Fan Zhongyan and the others still gritted their teeth and fought against Song Renzong.  Fan Zhongyan and the imperial censor Kong Daofu led ten people including Sun Zude of the imperial censor, Jiang Tang, Guo Quan, Yang Kai, Ma Jiang, Duan Shaolian, Zhengyan of the left, and Liu Huan of the right Zhengyan in Chui Gong.  Kneel down outside the palace gate to make a memorial.  He shouted loudly: "The queen should not be deposed, and I hope the officials will give us the full say!" The imperial guards guarding the palace gate closed the door tightly and remained silent in response. Confucius' second son, Kong Daofu, became furious and touched the palace gate with his hand.  The bronze urn on the top shouted: "The queen is deposed, why don't you listen to the news?"Any advice?  " The palace door was still closed. There was no other way. Fan Zhongyan and the others angrily went to Zhongshu Province to settle the accounts with Lu Yijian. Kong Daofu angrily scolded Lu Yijian: "Those of us who are ministers are to the officials and the queen, just like sons serving their parents.  Now that your parents are at odds, what you should do is to advise them and resolve the conflict. How can you follow your father's last wish and divorce your mother?  " The officials of the Zhongshu Province were in an uproar when they heard this and rushed to persuade them. Lu Yi Jianqiang showed a calm look and said: "Abolition of the Queen is not as simple as you think. The Queen has greatly harmed the official family.  This kind of situation was decided in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it should be like this!  " Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan said together: "When men and ministers are in power, and the kings are Yao and Shun, how can we cite the moral failings of the Han and Tang Dynasties as examples?  The public can only lead Guangwu of Han Dynasty to persuade Shang Er. This is Guangwu's lack of virtue. What's the use?  " Lu Yijian had no choice but to act helpless and said to Fan Zhongyan and others: "You should go to the officials to make an argument.  " Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan have found a solution. Lu Yijian has already surrendered. Can you still pursue and fight? So he retreated, secretly saving his strength, and prepared to lead hundreds of officials to fight with the prime minister tomorrow. But Lu Yijian turned around and  Fan Zhongyan and the others stabbed him in the face, and said: "Taiwan remonstrates with me, please correct me. This is not a peaceful and beautiful thing. Please advise me to assist you one by one."  " The meaning of Lu Yijian is very simple. These chattering officials are definitely not a good thing for peace. We should discuss how to drive them away now! Song Renzong also felt that it made sense. Within a few days, he issued an edict:  "Kong Daofu went out to know Taizhou, Fan Zhongyan knew Muzhou, Sun Zude and other eight people were each fined twenty kilograms of copper.  " Song Renzong believed that this would solve the problem, but he did not want it to lead to a greater counterattack.
