First, the court argued that Bao Zheng spat on Injong's face.
To some extent, Emperor Renzong had what is often called "democratic magnanimity" today. He can tolerate courtiers arguing with himself, and he will go on the rampage, "Pull it out and cut it!" "
The Old News of Quyi, compiled by Song and Zhu, contains a volume: [Yao Zhang assisted in the promotion of the emblem, and the court theory was not harmonious, so it stopped. After a long time, I became Wencheng (Zhang Guifei), so I want to announce my life. One day, he sent Yu Chao and Wen Cheng to the gate of the temple, stroking his back and saying, "Don't forget to announce the emblem today." The master said, "Yes." Since the imperial edict, Bao Zheng for power, big Chen Qi can't. He repeatedly said hundreds of words, angrily spit, spit in the emperor's face, and the emperor died. Wencheng sent Xiao Huangmen to visit him for the second time and thanked him for knowing that he was upright in front of him. The emperor raised his sleeves and wiped his face, saying, "Dian Cheng spoke forward and spit in my face. You just want the emblem. Don't you know that Bao Zheng is an imperial envoy? " ]
Zhang Guifei was deeply loved by Emperor Injong and repeatedly asked the emperor to let her mother's uncle Zhang Yaozuo enter the "Xuanhui Garden". Renzong had no choice but to give it a try. Injong went to court and announced the appointment, but Bao Zheng strongly opposed it, impassioned, adamant4, flushed, and never gave up, and even spat on the emperor's face until the emperor gave in. In order to find out, Zhang Guifei also sent Huang Men to spy on him, knowing that he could save face and be straightforward. After the court, he went to Zhang Guifei Palace, where Zhang Guifei greeted him and thanked him. At this time, Injong "rolled up his sleeves to wipe his face" and wiped the spit sprayed by Bao Zheng on his face. This story is generally considered to show Bao Zheng's frankness and courage to remonstrate; Not wiping saliva for the first time not only shows Injong's kindness and modesty, but also takes wiping saliva in front of Zhang Guifei as an art of appeasement: it's not that I don't do things, the resistance in court is too great, and saliva is proof!
Second, it is true for a typo.
In Renzong's reign, one year, Zhao Xu, a candidate from Sichuan, took a big exam. He is brilliant and outstanding in literature. The examiner presented his examination paper to Emperor Injong, hoping to win the championship. Injong opened the first volume, read it once and liked it very much. Say, this volume is excellent, but there is a typo. It turns out that Zhang Xu wrote the word "Wei" as a triangle on the test paper. Zhao Xu was declared emperor. When he was taking an exam in the palace, he fell to the ground and was frightened. Renzong said that the paper he did was excellent, but unfortunately there was a typo in the middle. Zhao Xufu asked what the word was, and Injong said the word "Wei". After hearing this, Zhao Xu explained carefully that these two radicals can be used in common. Injong was unhappy, and immediately took Four Treasures of the Study. He angrily wrote down the words "Private Peace, Going to Kyrgyzstan, Yi Wu, Tailu" and handed them to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu looked at it for a long time, but he was speechless. Injong said, you'd better go back to school In this way, because of a typo, Zhao Xu was brushed. The loss of the top scholar in Zhao Xu ruined his future. Zhao Xu was ashamed to meet his elders in Jiangdong. In order to wait for the next scientific research in three years, he simply lives in Kyoto, writing articles for others every day for a living, and he is down and out.
One day, Renzong went out of the palace incognito and came to Zhuangyuanfang Teahouse. He saw two poems written by Zhao Xu on the wall. When he remembered what happened, he asked the eunuch to call Zhao Xu to see him. Zhao Xu also denied Emperor Injong. Renzong asked him why he didn't go to school Zhao Xu explained the reasons in detail and said, "I am not proficient in learning and I am not careful in criticism. I can only blame myself." Because Zhao Xu was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, he said Wang Zhijian in Sichuan was his nephew and wrote to ask Zhao Xu to take refuge in Wang Zhijian. The next day, two "big officials" who didn't know each other paid tribute to him with a letter, and also gave him a servant and some money. Zhao Xu was grateful and walked on. Unfortunately, when Chengdu was coming, the bad news came-Wang had been moved and Sichuan officials were waiting for the new system to take office. Hearing this, Zhao Xuwen couldn't help crying hard. The servant suggested that he go and see what news it was. In the reception hall, surprisingly, officials waited for three days, but they didn't receive the new system. The servant suggested that Zhao Xu take a look at the reception hall. When Zhao Xu didn't go, the servant rushed to the reception hall, and then tore open the document, announcing that Zhao Xu was an amazing new system of fifty-four states. It turns out that the so-called document is the power of attorney of Emperor Injong. Injong let Zhao Xu, who could have been the top scholar, live on the streets of Kyoto because he was more loyal to a typo; Because of Zhao Xu's talent, honesty and kindness, he was loyal to his love for talents again, and finally directed a ups and downs life drama for Zhao Xu.
