Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 199 The mastermind behind the scenes, the evil doctor Fan Zheng

"Official recruitment?"

Su Song couldn't believe it in the back office of Kaifeng Mansion.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded and said: "Yes, Su Zhe resigns. The officials are going to recruit Mr. Su to be the right minister of Shangshu, so as to quell the conflict between the old and the new parties."

Su Song smiled bitterly and said: "Thanks to the great love of the officials, how can the old man He De calm down the conflict between the old and the new parties?"

Even Su Zhe, who has served as the right minister for many years, could not bear the exclusion of the old and new parties, and wrote many times to ask for foreign appointments. He is only the prefect of Kaifeng, and his influence in the court is not as good as that of Su Zhe. rut.

Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Master Su is too modest. Everyone in the court knows that Mr. Su is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He does not support the party, but is self-respecting! As the right minister, Mr. Su is enough to convince the people!"

Su Song suddenly fell silent. He has been conservative all his life, and now he is going to suddenly get involved in the extremely dangerous struggle between the new party and the old party. I am afraid it is not what he wants.

"And Mr. Su is not alone and helpless! His Majesty has allowed Mr. Su to form a medical party, and carry forward the idea of ​​doctors hanging pots to help the world. The three parties in the court will work hard to resolve the harm caused by party disputes and harm the country." Fan Zhenglang said.

"Let the old man form a medical party?" Su Song was startled, he is a Confucianist and a doctor, and he holds a high position. Many officials in the court and a Confucianist and a doctor have a good relationship with him.

However, as an official, he also has the concept of medical ethics, does not fight or grab, and has never thought of party struggle, but now the officials let him personally form a medical party and participate in party struggle?
"I also ask Mr. Fan to report back to the official family. The old minister will not obey." Su Song frowned.

Fan Zheng didn't take it seriously, he knew that Su Song would definitely not agree easily, and he had already thought out countermeasures in advance.

Immediately asked: "Master Su is familiar with poetry and books. You can know the scourge of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and you can know the struggle between Niu and Li in the Tang Dynasty. Would you like to see the old and new parties crushing each other in the early years of Yuanyou?"

Su Song was startled. He naturally knew about these tragedies of party disputes in history, and he could also clearly understand that once the old and new parties were allowed to intensify, the same mistakes would still happen.

"Nowadays, the Song Dynasty has too many soldiers and officials, just like a person who is seriously ill. Not only is he suffering from internal difficulties, but he is also bullied by foreign enemies. The old party is conservative and only copies medical books. It is fierce, and the after-effects are constant. The best in the world is the doctor who is good at curing diseases. Do you want to watch the Song Dynasty repeat the disaster of the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty?"

Fan Zheng shouted loudly.

Su Song couldn't help closing his eyes in pain. Once upon a time, he was also a passionate young man who dedicated himself to serving the country. However, decades of ups and downs in the officialdom have gradually smoothed his edges and corners. He is powerless to change the status quo and can only stick to his heart.

But now there is an opportunity in front of him, let him show his ambition, use his own way of Confucianism and medicine, to completely cure the stubborn disease of the Song Dynasty, but he is worried about gains and losses.

Fan Zheng sighed at the side: "Lord Su resolutely rejects the edict. If the government wants to resolve the crisis of party struggle, there is only one way, and that is to have a single party."

Su Song was startled. If one party dominates, then the most likely possibility is that the new party will be in power, and the old party will be expelled from the court.

"Whether one party dominates or the three parties work together! It's all in Master Su's mind." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Su Song suddenly fell into a tangle.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng didn't force him, but cupped his hands and said: "Tomorrow is the day when Su Zhe and Prime Minister Su resigned. Mr. Su is willing. Tomorrow morning, Fan and the officials are waiting."

After Fan Zheng finished speaking, Su Song was left alone to think.

Morning morning on the second day!
Hundreds of officials gathered, and both the new party and the old party were eager to fight. After the tacit cooperation between the two parties, Su Zhe was finally pushed out of the court.

Once Su Zhe takes office, the position of right minister will be vacant. As long as the new party and the old party get the position of right minister, they will be able to overwhelm each other.

"I feel overwhelmed by the right chancellor's position, and I beg the officials to agree to take the post outside." In the Chuigong Hall, Su Zhe resigned again.

Zhao Xu sighed, knowing that Su Zhe's intention to go was decided, and he said loudly, "Su Aiqing is loyal to the country, has worked hard and made great achievements, and is in charge of the government. It happens that Ruzhou is not far from Kaifeng, and there is a vacancy. In the future, when Su Aiqing changes his mind, he may return as soon as possible. To the court."

Immediately, Zhao Xu granted Su Zhe the title of Grand Master of Longtuge, who knew Ruzhou, and Su Zhe in later generations was also demoted from Beijing, and was demoted to a court councilor, who knew Ruzhou, but there was a world of difference.

"My humble minister, thank you for your kindness!" Su Zhe bowed solemnly.

Now that the new party and the old party in the DPRK and China are fighting openly and secretly, he is caught in the middle of the pins and needles. Now applying for a foreign post may be a way out.

After Su Zhe left, the new party and the old party couldn't help but be overjoyed. The position of right minister was vacant, which was something that neither the new party nor the old party could afford to lose. gain the upper hand.

"The position of right chancellor cannot be lost, and I recommend Li Qingchen, the Minister of Zhongshu, as the right chancellor." Zhang Dun said first.

Li Qingchen was the backbone of the new party, and was mainly responsible for implementing the Young Crop Law and appropriating labor into the mu. This time, Li Qingchen made great efforts to exclude Su Zhe. Zhang Dun reciprocated and recommended Li Qingzhao to succeed him as the right minister.

Not to be outdone, Lu Dafang said: "Li Qingchen's qualifications are still inexperienced, and the old minister recommended Liu Anshi, an admonisher, as the right chancellor."

Liu Anshi was Sima Guang's protégé and former official, and had great influence in the old party. Although Sima Guang was judged by the officials as three points and seven points, he still recognized Sima Guang's contributions.

All of a sudden, the old and new parties nominated their own candidates one after another. In addition, Su Zhe had resigned, and the neutral faction in the court had no leader. The struggle between the new party and the old party suddenly became fierce.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look embarrassed. The struggle between the old and new parties has reached a point where fire and water cannot be tolerated. This kind of struggle is no longer under the control of Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun, but the ebb and flow between the two parties. Don't dare to slack off in the slightest. If things go on like this, it will definitely cause a catastrophe.

"The way to break the situation?" Zhao Xu looked around the court, and finally fixed his eyes on Su Song, the prefect of Kaifeng.

Su Song chose to go to court today, and was obviously persuaded by Fan Zheng, so he stopped hesitating and said, "Your loves are right, but is there a more suitable candidate here?"

Both the old and the new parties couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Zhao Xu in puzzlement.

Only Zhao Xu said in a loud voice: "Master Su Song is fair and impartial, he is able to grant appointments according to his ability, and he is self-reliant with courtesy. He is the best candidate for Shangshu Youcheng."

"Su Song!"

Lu Dafang couldn't help being taken aback, how could he have forgotten Su Song? Compared to Li Qingchen and Liu Anshi, Su Song, who had a lot of seniority, was indeed the best candidate.

"Two dogs fight, play off!"

Zhang Dun couldn't help sighing, he didn't expect the new party to compete with the old party, but in the end Su Song was taken advantage of.

Su Song stepped forward solemnly and said: "I thank the officials for their trust! I would like to be the pioneer of the officials."

At the moment, Su Song stepped forward to take orders, bluntly speaking about the shortcomings of the official system, presented the "four selection methods" of the Ministry of Officials, and recommended a group of capable ministers and officials according to this method.

Zhao Xulong was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun couldn't help being shocked, because most of the people recommended by Su Song were officials with double cultivation of Confucianism and medicine, and Su Song was the leader of both cultivation of Confucianism and medicine in the court. Once these officials with double cultivation of Confucianism and medicine entered Chaotang will be a big force.

"Medical party!"

Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun looked at each other, and couldn't help but see the deep fear in each other's eyes. At the beginning, the officials beat the old party and the new party for the conclusion of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's coffin, but the new party and the old party deliberately pushed them away. Su Zhe.

Now Zhao Xu finally made a move, using Su Song's influence to cultivate a medical party to check and balance the old and new parties.

However, this is not over yet, Zhao Xu continued: "Master Su Songsu is appointed as Shangshu Youcheng, and the position of Kaifeng prefect is vacant again."

The old and new parties are excited again. Although they have lost the position of right prime minister, the prefect of Kaifeng is also high in power. If they can win, they will still have a lot of help.

Zhao Xu didn't give too many chances to the old and new parties, and said directly: "Fan Chunli, the prefect of Bozhou, has made great achievements in governing Bozhou, and the selection by the Ministry of Officials is all top-notch, so he can be appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng."

"Fan Chunli?"

Officials from the old and new parties couldn't help being taken aback. They didn't expect that the officials would appoint Fan Chunli, who had just been transferred out of Kaifeng for more than a year, as the prefect of Kaifeng.

However, they are irrefutable about this. Since Fan Chunli became the magistrate of Bozhou, relying on the rise of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he has turned Bozhou into a new medical capital. Su Song, the prefect of Kaifeng, was able to contend with him.

The officials of the court focused more on the young Fan Zheng. Su Song formed a medical party, and the leader of the medical family was the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Fan Chunli was the magistrate of Kaifeng, and Fan Zheng was Fan Chunli's son.

All these changes in the court, I am afraid that the evil doctor Fan Zheng is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
