It is precisely because of this that Wang Gongchen is even more criticized by talented scholars
and celebrities all over the world. In view of the fact that there were many people with superficial
knowledge in the halls of the Zhenzong Dynasty, the emperor specially instructed: "The post of
the library should be occupied by those who are worthy of the name and reality." For this reason,
admission is increased. The conditions of the court, all the elites in the world were selected at one
time, so there are many talents in this dynasty. Many ministers have both political voices and
literary names, which are enough to last forever and be famous ministers of the country. However,
the incident of entering the Zouyuan led to a change in the principle of selecting scholars from the
pavilion. Although there were more simple and prudent people, they had no spiritual energy. The
country is always disadvantageous to the community.
But I just thought about these words in my heart, and didn't tell the princess. She and Zhang
Chengzhao laughed for a while, then suddenly asked: "But why does Wang Gongchen have such
great power, he can harm whoever he wants?"
"Because he was the censor Zhongcheng at that time, and he was in charge of supervising all
officials." Zhang Chengzhao replied, "The power of censor platform is to picket all officials,
oversee discipline, remonstrate with the emperor, participate in government affairs and judge
prisons. The court also stipulated that, If the censor does not criticize the current affairs within a
hundred days, he will be dismissed as a foreign official. Even if Wang Gongchen has no personal
grievances with other officials, he still has to find someone to impeach him, so don’t offend the
censor if you have nothing to do... Speaking of hundred days The rules of the matter, there is
another joke in the court: the censor Wang Ping has been in office for a hundred days, and he has
not said anything yet. His colleagues are very surprised, but after thinking about it, he said:
"Perhaps Wang Yushi is waiting to speak. If he speaks, he must speak." It’s about big things.” One
day, I finally heard that he had been impeached in the imperial court. Everyone rushed to tell the
story, and together they quietly found his essay to read and study, only to find that what he was
impeaching was actually a hair in the royal meal. He The Tan Ci also writes like this: "It is He
Muruo's face, and suddenly he sees the shape of the scroll.""
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chengzhao himself burst out laughing, but the princess
didn't fully understand, and asked me while eating green plum fruit: "What does his Tanci mean?"
