| Qingli Xin Zheng which was a political revolution happened in the middle period of Beisong was centered on reorganizing the official management.It began before Fan Zhongyan was dismissed because of his objection to the personnel appointment mainly on the Conservative Group as well as the Conservative Group directly. With the stimulation of the failing in the war to Xixia, Renzong who was the emperor of Beisong changed the conservative ruling policy and made the speaking way open widely. Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and Han Qi who were innovative officials were appointed. They adjusted the policies to the situation and had an effect on carrying out the Qingli Xin Zheng.With the mitigation of the relationship between Song and Xixia, Renzong lost the motivation for the revolution gradually. What was worse, the officials of the Innovative Group started an upsurge of the Buddy Discussion improperly, which led to the quick failing of the Qingli Xin Zheng.Fu Bi was a firm follower to Fan Zhongyan. They kept a deep friendship. When Fan Zhongyan was subjugated as a result of abrogating the princess and the objection to Lv Yijian's selfish appointment, Fu Bi made his great effort to turn the tide. During the dangerous period on the frontier, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were in charge of the frontier while Fu Bi made great contributions to the negotiation with Liao and made the northern frontier steady. When Qingli Xin Zheng happened, Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan took charge of the situation together in the capital.Because of the failing of the Qingli Xin Zheng, Fu Bi was sent away from the capital and did the official work as Zhizhou for ten years.In the second year of Zhihe, that is to say, in 1055,Fu Bi came back to the capital and tried his best to reduce the common people's burden by steady methods.Such a turning suited the conservative policy. After Shenzong came into power, his wish to open up the frontier was not agreed by Fu Bi who even not approved his new law whose purpose was to make the country wealthy quickly by exploiting the common people's interest. So Fu Bi resigned by an excuse of being ill.But Fu Bi positively provided suggestions when the country was confronted with big events.The thesis opened with the Qingli Xin Zheng and Xifeng Bian Fa and put Fu Bi originally to the environment at that time to show his influence to the political situation in the middle and end of the Beisong. |
