First, bravely fight against the Zhang brothers Song (663 ~ 737), a native of Nanhe, Xingzhou (now Nanhe, Hebei), was born in Longshuo for three years. His father Fu Xuan used to be an officer. Song Zishao studied hard, learned from time to time, and worked hard on words. Being a man is extraordinary, and there are great festivals. At the age of 20, he won the Jinshi and was awarded the captain of a team. Later, he was promoted to supervise the censor and the house keeper. As an official, he was highly praised. Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong are the favorite of Emperor Wu Zetian. He is very overbearing. Song did not fear power, regardless of safety, and fought many times. Wu Zetian spent three years in Chang 'an (703), framing Prime Minister Wei, who bribed Zhang to commit perjury in Fengge and asked Zhang to testify before the imperial court that Wei had said something rebellious. Song Dui, who is also a member of Fengge, told Zhang: "The most important thing in a person's life is to be justified. You can't frame a good man just to make a living. Even if he is exiled, his achievements will be respected by people. If anything happens, I will ask the son of heaven to forgive me and die with you. Work hard for it and pay tribute from generation to generation. " Zhang said that he was very moved. He truthfully stated in the court debate that Wei was not framed at night. Soon, Song was transferred. & gt At this time, Wu Zetian is old, and Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers are more arbitrary. The ministers of the DPRK are all afraid of Zhang and dare not call him by his first name. They all call him Goro. Zhang Changzong is Shiro. Song is not afraid of these two men, but these two men are a little afraid of him. On one occasion, Wu Zetian gave a big banquet, and the two were among the top three. Song rank six products, in the next seat. Yi invited Song to bow in vain and said, "Gong is the first person in the DPRK. How can he sit in the next seat?" He said, "I am an inferior person, and Qing said that I am the first. Why? " An official assistant minister named Zheng respectfully asked Song, "Why are you called Qing?" Song said, "To me, you are only a member of the Qing Dynasty, not a slave of his family. Where can you call him Lang? " Song's words made Zheng Shan blush and embarrassed Zhang. From then on, the brother held a grudge against Song and slandered Song everywhere, but because Wu Zetian knew his feelings, Song was acquitted. In the fourth year of Chang 'an (704), Zhang Er was very worried because of the deterioration of Wu Zetian's condition, and secretly planned countermeasures. At this time, someone found Zhang's abnormal behavior and reported Zhang's rebellion, but Wu Zetian ignored it and did not ask. At this time, Yang of Xuzhou reported that Li Hongtai, a warlock, was asked to tell fortune. Li Hongtai said that he had a son of heaven, and he also suggested that he build a Buddhist temple in Dingzhou to bring the world back to the people. & gt Due to the rebellion, Wu Zetian sent Wei Chengqing, assistant minister of Fengge, and Cui Heyu, secretary of criminal punishment, to check newspapers. Wei and Cui are afraid of the forces. They want to please Wu Zetian. They tried to excuse Zhang Changzong, saying that Zhang Changzong told the emperor what Hongtai said, and he was innocent. Song asked, "If you don't turn yourself in, you can be lenient or not. I want to ask a department that understands the law to try it. " He also said to Wu Zetian: "I am driven by Yi's great kindness, and I will know why, but I am moved by righteousness and I will never regret it." Wu Zetian was very unhappy after hearing this. The Prime Minister was worried that Song would be in trouble, so he quickly pulled Song out. Song said, "The Lord is here, so don't bother with the Prime Minister's announcement!" Song never let go of Er: Zhang and said to Wu Zetian, "If you don't accept prison, you will disturb the world and shake people's hearts." Wu Zetian had no choice but to put Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong in prison. Soon after, they were released by Amnesty International. In order to ease the contradiction, Yi's brother went to the Song family to apologize. Song refused to meet and said, "Business is business. If you meet privately, the law will not talk about private matters. " He gnashed his teeth at the two men and said to the people around him, "I regret not breaking the heads of these two boys first and letting them screw up." "Song and the struggle related to national security, so get the support of courtiers. Li Yong (left) plays Wu Zetian, saying that what he said and the role he played were not for his own self-interest, but for the stability of the country. However, Wu Zetian just wouldn't listen. & gt In order to avoid contradictions, Wu Zetian sent Song to Yangzhou as an inspector. Song said, "It is the duty of the county to supervise the imperial history to hear cases. "Later, the Song Dynasty issued imperial edicts to review the governor of Youzhou, Xiang Zhong. Song also said, "I have said that I am not allowed to leave Beijing unless it is a major event. Xiang Zhong has committed the crime of accepting bribes, and it will hurt my heart to ask my minister to leave now. " Later, he was appointed as Li Qiao's deputy special envoy to Gansu and Sichuan. Song also said, "You are not what you used to be. I take Zhong Cheng as my deputy. There is no such case in the imperial court. "Wei Song committed two crimes, violated the imperial edict three times, and refused to carry out the imperial edict. It turned out that the brother wanted to take advantage of Song's departure from Beijing to fight and punish him. The plan failed, and they gave birth to another plan to assassinate Song when the Song family held a wedding. When Song learned of the plot, he took a humble car and hid elsewhere for the night. The assassination plan could not be realized. Although the struggle between Song Dynasty and Zhang Er failed to achieve results, it put Zhang Er in an extremely embarrassing position, and courtiers hated what Zhang Er had done. In the first month of the first year of Shenlong (705), Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and two of them stayed in the army, unable to handle state affairs, so the minister could not come near. After a tense plot, Prime Minister Zhang Jian joined forces with the imperial generals to kill Zhang Yizhi. Brother Zhang Zongchang forced Wu Zetian to give way to Prince Li Xian. After the restoration of Emperor Zhong of Song Dynasty, Song Ren served as the branch minister, making suggestions for doctors, offering sacrifices to doctors, and discussing the gains and losses of state affairs at any time. Soon, he was appointed assistant minister of Huangmen. & gt II. Resisting the Will of Zhongzong Zhongzong is a fatuous emperor who ignores state affairs. Power is in the hands of Empress Webster and Wu Sansi, nephew of Wu Zetian. There is a fierce struggle between Song and He. In the second year of Shenlong (766), Yue Wei, a native of Jingzhao, wrote a letter to Zhongzong, reporting Wu Sansi's "indecent assault on the Palace". When Wu Sansi heard about it, he secretly asked his men to punish him for openly disobeying orders. Zhongzong listened to rumors and ordered Yue Wei to be beheaded. & gt Song believes that the case is untrue and requests that he be put in prison for trial. Zhongzong was furious. He said, "I decided to behead. What else can you say? " Song said: "When people accuse Wei of having an affair with Sansi, Your Majesty will ask for beheading without asking. I am afraid that someone will talk privately. Please use the punishment after the inspection. Zhongzong became more and more angry, and Song said without fear, "Please behead my minister first, or my letter will not be delivered." "Zhongzong had no choice but to avoid the execution of Yue Wei, send him to Lingnan, and then put him to death. Soon, Emperor Zhongzong wrote a letter to Song Jue, as the long history of the school and the country was not formed, he was appointed as the secretariat of the school and Song was expelled from the court. Zhou Bei is in the south of Hebei Province. When Li Bo arrived, Hebei was hit by heavy rain and people were starving. Wu San-si's fief was in Zhou Bei, so he thought twice about people's lives and sent people to collect rent from tenants. Out of love for the people, Song refused to pay the rent. Wu Sansi used his power to transfer Song from Hangzhou and Yangzhou to be the secretariat, and then transferred to the secretariat. At that time, Wei Hou and Wu Sansi colluded with each other. Li Zhongjun, the eldest son, was not born after Wei, which aroused their jealousy. He wanted to abolish the prince and make Princess Anle, the daughter of Wei, the wife of the emperor. Li Zhongjun can't stand it. In the first year of Jinglong, he colluded with Zuo Yulin's general Li Duo Tussaud, corrected the Yulin Army, launched a palace coup, and killed Wu Sansi and his companions. However, the fatuous Zhongzong ignored the overall situation, listened to the words of Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle, foiled the coup in Li Zhongjun, and Li Zhongjun was defeated and killed. & gt Since then, Queen Wei and Princess Anle have become more fearless, and Zhongzong has become a puppet. Hou Wei wants to emulate Wu Zetian and become a queen. So in Jinglong four years (7 10), he poisoned Zhongzong. However, the mantis catches cicadas, and the yellowbird is behind. Wei Hou is about to realize the Queen's dream. Unexpectedly, the son of Li Dan, the younger brother of Zhongzong, and his aunt Princess Taiping staged a coup, killing Wei Hou and Princess Anle. Li Dan, the prime minister, was reinstated, Song was appointed as the official minister, and he was appointed as the prime minister. He was a minister of the same dynasty. Together, they helped Zong Rui, determined to reform the bad politics since Zhongzong. During the period of Zhongzong, consorts and princesses participated in the pre-government, and political corruption became a common practice. Selling officials and titles, cigar smoke. As long as you pay 300 thousand, no matter who you are, you will do it for the official. They were awarded directly by the emperor without the approval of the Chinese book or the door. At that time, people called it "oblique officials." "Most of these officials are wealthy businessmen. They can't manage politics, but they are merciless when searching for people. Yao Chong and Song Shu demanded the dismissal of Xie Feng officials, who were loyal retirees. At that time, thousands of Xie Feng officials were dismissed, and the whole ruling and opposition parties did it one brace up. Song also began to rectify the bureaucracy and restore the "three-all" system. Among the tens of thousands of candidates, Song Qiong was praised by people at that time for selecting and evaluating officials, not afraid of powerful people, not caring about personal affairs, and rewarding and punishing justly. & gt Third, Princess Taiping Zong Rui was also an imbecile emperor, and his sister Princess Taiping became stronger and stronger because Zong Rui's power was restored. She made friends with cronies and actively expanded her power. In the second year, she seriously threatened Prince Li Longji and Jingyun (7 1 1). She invited Yu Fanmen, the prime minister, to ask for the replacement of the prince. Everyone present was frightened, but Song remained calm. He said loudly. The Prince of the East Palace has made great contributions to the world. He is the king of the true ancestral temple. Why did the princess suddenly have this discussion to ensure the status of the prince? Song, Yao Chong tip-off and put forward three strategies. First, they let Li Chengqi, king of the Song Dynasty, and Li Shouli, king of the reclusive kingdom, serve as the secretariat. The second is to hand over the power of Li Longfan and Xue Wangli directly to the prince. The third is to move Princess Taiping and her husband to Du Dong. Li Rui adopted these three opinions and ordered the prince to supervise the country. All officials and actions below the sixth grade are handled by the prince. These measures undoubtedly played a role in consolidating the status and power of the prince. & gt Princess Taiping is unwilling to perish. She stepped up her struggle. Encouraged by her, she set off a wave of opposition to "officials with oblique seals" and pointed the finger at Prince Li Longji. Li Longji is under great pressure. In order to save himself, he played against his will, saying that Yao and Song alienated him from his aunt and brothers. So, worship Yao and Song Weicheng, and demote Song as the secretariat of Chuzhou. & gt Since then, he has been transferred frequently, successively serving as the secretariat of Jiazhou Zeyi, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, the provincial judge of Hebei, the governor of Youzhou, and the imperial historian, and finally transferred to the governor of Guangzhou. In Guangdong, he taught people to burn bricks and build tile houses, and converted thatched houses into brick houses. The local people praised his achievements and set up a "memorial tablet of love" when he left Guangzhou to show his love for the people. In July12, Zong Rui passed the throne to Prince Li Longji, who became the emperor's father. & gt Although Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became emperor, Princess Taiping still had great influence, which still posed a threat to him, especially to the prime ministers of the DPRK. Most of them were attached to her in the first year of Kaiyuan (7 13). Someone told Xuanzong that the princess would want to make trouble. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty called Wang Qi Li Longfan, Li and Prime Minister Guo to discuss and decided to dispatch more than 300 soldiers to annihilate Princess Taiping's henchmen in one fell swoop. At this point, the constant coup in the palace came to an end. He is a good emperor, and he is determined to get rid of bad politics and let his family stand up again. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, he appointed Yao Chong as the prime minister, rectified the bureaucracy, and created a prosperous situation of Kaiyuan's governance. After Yao Chong was dismissed as prime minister, he adopted Yao's suggestion and appointed Song Weicheng as prime minister. & gt iv. Sasaki Xuanzong: November of the fourth year of Kaiyuan (171); Song was appointed minister of communications and supervisor of the Yellow Gate. He sent eunuch Yang Sixun to Guangzhou to meet him. Song was far-sighted and taciturn, and never said a word to Yang Sixun along the way. Yang Sixun was quite dissatisfied with this and came back to tell Xuanzong. Unexpectedly, Xuanzong was more in awe of Song. Song dynasty was the prime minister, aiming at selecting and employing people, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and performing their duties. He saw that State Councilor Sima Yiyong and Yizhou native Sima Zheng Mian had only a little talent and talent, but their thoughts and personalities had many defects. Song felt: "It would be a pity if all of them were introduced; It would be a pity to give up the donation for a long time. "Therefore, according to each person's talent and ability, I have served as the secretariat of Yuzhou and Zhou Xia respectively. & gt In people's minds, Dali can only have both. However, after taking office, they found that this was not the case, so they changed him to an ordinary servant riding a horse. He chooses officials for the public interest, without exception to others and his relatives. He has a cousin named Song. When selecting officials in the official department, he specifically stated that he was the uncle of Prime Minister Song and wanted to be reused. After Song knew it, he immediately wrote a letter to the official department, saying that Song had a bad relationship with himself and should not be appointed again. Song dynasty employs people, regardless of royalty; Qishan County made the king, and Xuanzong was an old official of Fan High School before he proclaimed himself emperor. In Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a special decree was issued, which was indispensable in the Song Dynasty. He said: "thinking about the old and thinking about the private is a big example, except that the official is expensive and the calendar is unfair." Benevolence is deeply rooted in the old ideas and has been improved. If it wins the prize again today, it will be different from others. "He asked the official department to take turns to take the exam and act according to the system. Xuanzong had to listen to Song's advice and take back his life. Jiang Jiao, a favorite of the Song Dynasty, was also an old friend of Xuanzong when he was a vassal, and made great contributions in killing Princess Taiping. Xuanzong doted on him. Jiang Hui, the younger brother of Jiang Jiao, also touched his brother's light and became an assistant minister of the official department. Song said to Xuanzong: "The Jiao brothers are too arrogant and unsafe. Xuanzong listened to his words, changed Jiang Jiao to be a scattered official and returned home, and changed Jiang Hui to be Zong Zhengqing. “。 In order to avoid the arbitrariness of court ministers and the rumors of kings, he put forward the suggestion of restoring the confrontation system in Zhenguan period. During the Zhenguan period, the emperor came to the DPRK, set up ceremonial etiquette, played a book in a middle school, played a role in a three-official, or impeached a hundred officials; Are faced with etiquette. After Emperor Gaozong, this system was gradually abandoned, and ministers waited for ceremonial ceremonies before going to temples. After officials and historians retired from North Korea, they became secret plays, and what they performed was unknown to others, which caused many disadvantages. & gt Song proposed to resume the debate, which is conducive to openness and supervision. Tang Xuanzong approved the restoration of this system: "Those who must keep today's events secret will be told to listen to each other, and historians will act according to their own circumstances. Song as prime minister, dare to remonstrate, very afraid, often with the Song Dynasty. “。 In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Song Gaozong accompanied Xuanzong to the east, passing through Gu Valley (now Shaanxi County, Henan Province). The mountain is high and the road is narrow, so it is difficult to walk. Xuanzong was very angry. He wanted to get rid of He Nanyin, Li and Zhi Dun, who was in charge of travel affairs. Jin Song remonstrated, "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and now he has just started to patrol. Because the road has not been repaired, he will punish the two ministers. If this is corrected, there will be disadvantages in the future. "Xuanzong thought it was very reasonable, so he was exempted from the crimes of these two people. At that time, the social atmosphere tended to be luxurious, emphasizing thick burial. Song was an official and tried to avoid this disadvantage. Queen Wang's father, Wang, died in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (7 19). Her brother was a captain of Xu and asked Xuanzong to build a three-foot grave for his father. Tang Xuanzong agreed. Although many ministers talked about it, they were afraid to play it. Only Song was fearless. He and Shu Xuanzong, the prime minister of the same dynasty, pointed out that thick burial and thin burial were important events of ethics and luxury. Thrift is a virtue, luxury is a great harm. Ancient sages took this as a warning, overstepped the etiquette and gave it a thick burial, so the ancients only dug graves for burial, and no longer repaired graves. & gt Xuanzong fully accepted Song's suggestion and built a tomb base according to the scale of Song. He also praised Song for saying: "I often want to rectify myself and govern the world with discipline. I prefer the queen! But others are embarrassed, and only the public can say such things. " Also specially awarded Song 400 horses. In the first month of the eighth year of Kaiyuan (720), Song and the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union wrote a letter demanding that money and grain be banned. & gt Bad money is a private currency minted by the people. Impurities are mixed in casting, and the quality is poor. The popularity of evil money makes the poor poorer and traitors older. They suggested "cutting off the evil money in the world, and those who are tired of the iron and steel and can't use them, and selling them and rebuilding them." "However, because they violated the interests of the rich who made money and caused their dissatisfaction, they all expressed their opposition. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty dismissed Song and Su as prime ministers. Song Rentong is the third division of Kaifu Instrument, and he no longer holds real power. After the strike, Song was as outspoken and upright as ever. & gt In the second year after the strike, Xuanzong appointed him as Jingzhao to stay behind, and let him take over from Xin of Henan Province to handle the rebellion in Quanliangshan. After reviewing the case, Song Faxian Quan Liangshan said that he wanted to hold a marriage and raise money, and county officials asked for a loan. After Song took over, after understanding and interrogation, several leaders were convicted, and the rest were not asked, and the case was quickly closed. In the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), Xuanzong traveled east to Mount Tai and stayed in the capital in Song Dynasty. Xuanzong was about to leave and said to Song, "Qing is an elder of the country, so you have to leave temporarily. Do you have any good ideas to tell me? " Song told the truth one by one. Xuanzong personally wrote the law and replied: "When writing, put it left and right, and you can check your introspection at any time when you enter or leave, which is a lifelong precept. "Later, Song served as the official department, and Xuanzong worshipped Song as the right prime minister. Xuanzong gave a banquet to the officials of Shangshu Province, and wrote a poem "Three Heroes" for Zhang Song and others. In the 20th year of Kaiyuan (73 years), Song was seventy-three years old, frail and sickly. He asked to resign and lived in a private house in Du Dong after retirement. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), he died at the age of seventy-five, and was given the title of Captain Yi Wenzhen.
