Song's fame is closely related to Wu Zetian's appreciation and protection of him. After Zong Rui ascended the throne, she impeached Princess Taiping without the protection of the upper class and was exiled to a remote place to be an official. It is said that people in Guangzhou can build houses with brick and wood structures, which was taught in the Song Dynasty. Perhaps the experience of local officials made Song Cheng mature. He was no longer naive and impulsive, so he was appreciated and trusted by Xuanzong. He was an official in Xuanzong for many years. After retirement, Xuanzong still paid him full salary. After retirement, he retired from Luoyang at the age of 75.
win people by virtue
Song Jing has a strong sense of morality. In the era of Wu Zetian, ministers dared not attack dissidents. On one occasion, Wei, an ancient physician, was falsely accused of treason and was confirmed. Wu Zetian's favorite person said that he was afraid of offending him, but he felt uneasy and slandered Wei against his will. As an imperial envoy, Song Jing encouraged him to say that justice and reputation are the most important, and justice should be maintained. If I am demoted, I will definitely call for help for you, or at least die with you. Zhang said that he was moved by his words and saved Wei without perjury.
Song Jing's moral outlook is related to his family education. Generally speaking, aristocratic children have a strong moral pursuit. There were not many officials with a strong sense of morality in the Tang Dynasty. According to Confucian morality, Wu Zetian's control over government affairs is absolutely intolerable, but the personal pressure to resist Wu Zetian is too great. There are always some contradictions in life.
Wu Zetian appreciated Song Jingqing's honest and clean way of being an official, and soon promoted him to suggestion, equivalent to today's Minister of Justice.
Beat the queen's boyfriend
Song Jing dared not say anything to Wu Zetian, but she always attacked her boyfriend mercilessly. Zhang Zongchang got the love of Wu Zetian and was very excited. She probably thought she was an emperor, so she found a fortune teller to see if she was a dragon or a worm.
At that time, it was treason. Song Jing was adamant about this, and Wu Zetian's mediation was rejected by him because it did not conform to the jurisprudence. Wu Zetian had to let him take two boyfriends, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang. After Song quietly took him away, he immediately opened a trial and sentenced him to death. Before the execution, Wu Zetian granted amnesty to the whole world. Song Jing regretted it. He said that if he knew about it, he would smash the heads of the two men first.
Wu Zetian wanted to adjust the relationship between Song Jing and Zhang Er and asked Zhang Er to apologize to Song Jing. Song Jing refused to meet. Second, Wu's minions. At that time, the general ministers tried their best to please them, but Song Jing hated them. Wu Zetian made them officials with the doctrine. Song Cai Jing is six years old, but he has not lost his true colors twice. Two Zhang tried to have a good relationship with Song Jing many times, but they were all cut down, so they killed Song Jing. Second, Song Jing went abroad and seized the opportunity to impeach. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian asked Song Jing to go to other places three times, and Song Jing refused on the grounds of breaking the law.
Seeing that Wu Zetian is right, don't leave any difficulties. The two men had to bribe the killer to assassinate them directly, and they were all hidden by Song Jing. Soon two people died, and Song Jing was not in danger.
Challenge your favorite Wu Sansi.
Song Jing's character is very honest. As long as he thinks he is right, he is not afraid of anything. During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, Wu Sansi had an affair with Wei Ruyun and begged for rain in the palace, but he met several nails here in Matsui. Song Jing also reprimanded him and said, "The Queen Mother restored her son's throne. You should go home and live your own life. Why come out and interfere in government affairs? Have you seen the story of Lu being killed in the Han Dynasty? "
Finally, a bold man accused Wu Sansi of having an affair with Wei Ruyun. Wu Sansi is very angry. The emperor felt humiliated and ordered the people who complained to be killed. Song Jing felt that he needed to check carefully, so he couldn't kill people like this. He said to the emperor, "If you want to kill the complainant, you must kill me first, otherwise, I will never accept this order." The emperor had no choice but to put the dissatisfied people in Lingnan. Because of challenging the authority of Wu Sansi, Song Jing was excluded, retired to the local area and made a secretariat. Nevertheless, his personality hasn't changed much.
Kick the iron plate
Character determines fate, and Song Jing's character also determines his fate. Zong Rui and Song Jing were appointed ministers of the official department, and management officials were appointed. Several officials and ministers before Song and Jing, with the intervention of powerful people, appointed their positions two years in advance, and many officials were waiting for them. After Song Jing took office, he worked with several assistant ministers in the official department to rectify the appointment procedures of officials. Although he offended many people, others could not attack him because of his justice.
At that time, Song Jing was appointed Prime Minister. Princess Taiping wanted to learn from Wu Zetian's bullying, so she encouraged Song Jingping to change the dynasty, but Song Jing flatly refused. He said that the prince is the master of the ancestral temple country and has his own advantages. How can he question his position? Not only that, Song Jing didn't like Princess Taiping interfering in government affairs, but also wrote a letter to Zong Rui with Yao Chong, demanding that Princess Taiping and others be driven out of Beijing. Unfortunately, Zong Rui didn't adopt it. On the contrary, Princess Taiping and others took this opportunity to demote Song Jing to the remote Chuzhou. In fact, it is difficult to have justice in the power struggle. Even with justice, evil may not be defeated. Before Song Jing, with the support of Wu Zetian and Zhong Zong, he never encountered any big obstacles. Now that Zong Rui has been influenced by Princess Taiping and others, Song Jing will soon be out of luck.

At that time, Prince Longji, who Princess Taiping wanted to abolish, was later Xuanzong. After Xuanzong ascended the throne, Song Jing's official position soared. Although he was demoted once for making a mistake, he was soon promoted to the position of minister of punishments.
After some setbacks, Song Jing also learned how to talk to the monarch. When Xuanzong visited Henan, he lost his temper because of the narrow road and ordered several local people to be dismissed. Song Jing said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty is still very young. Accusing the two ministers now will have a very bad influence. " Hearing this, Xuanzong disagreed.
Song Jing also said to Xuanzong: "Your majesty rebuked the minister, and the minister was angry, and his words can be forgiven. They will certainly be dissatisfied with your majesty and think that I am a good man. " So it's best to let them wait for the court to deal with it now, and when the time comes, your majesty will forgive their sins and they will thank the emperor. "At that time, Xuanzong was still young. What Song Jing said was not only reasonable, but also thought of himself in every sentence, so he valued Song Jing more.
Although Song Jing is honest, she seldom hurts innocent people. At that time, a man named Quan Liang turned against him. Before the rebellion, he borrowed money from many people on the pretext of holding a wedding at home. Later, Quan Liang was arrested and the borrower was also implicated. Song Jing analyzed the ins and outs of the incident and released hundreds of wronged people. Later, Xuanzong went to Mount Tai, left Song Jingjing in Beijing to preside over various affairs, and asked Song Jing to give himself some advice. Song Jing honestly wrote a lot at once. Xuanzong read it and exclaimed, "These words should really be the motto!"
On military strategy, the border towns in the Tang Dynasty have always been a big problem. Song Jing saw this problem in the early years of Xuanzong, so he always adopted the policy of suppressing the border town to prevent the border town from being too large. Unfortunately, his policy has not been thoroughly implemented.
After Song Jing retired, Xuanzong went to Luoyang, and Song Jing met him on the side of the road. Xuanzong also sent someone to visit him. The relationship between monarch and minister has always been very good.
