Chapter 445: Two Kings (Part 2)

Wang Ju continued to be neutral, but Zhang Ruoshui was wrong. Who would want to commit suicide slowly? In addition, Zhao Xu sent him down to inspect, probably this is the general trend, and the emperor also changed his original idea. Besides, under Wang Ju's leadership, the reform of military weapon supervision, new type of carbonized steel, water pressure cold forging, tiger estrus cannon, the promotion of large fire caltrop balls, as well as various new types of swords and guns under development, it seems that the military weapon supervision will have the strongest cold weapon in history, which is a great achievement.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly went down to take a look, came back to report, saying yes.

It is true that the Qingmiao Law has caused some disadvantages, but there are always some bad things to reform. However, the good side is better than the bad side. Why is it so troublesome? It is mainly to lend to first-class households, which is actually equivalent to imposing taxes on them in disguise. These people have power, so there are so many talents. This is like when Liu E was originally, Lu Yijian presided over the tea government reform, and even the great scholar Sun Shi, the teacher of Emperor Renzong of Song, was in this opposition.

But later it turned out that Lu Yijian was right.

Lu Yijian is a conservative, and he has the skills to do things. No matter whether he is a power or family background, how many people can compete with him?

But is it just a disguised tax increase and a geometric tax increase?

This is Zhang Ruoshui's report.

In fact, Wang Ju said a lot about this interest before.

However, Zhang Lan and his two reports may not be realistic. This involves another issue in the Song Dynasty, that is, the rights of eunuchs.

On the surface, powerful ministers need some eunuchs who are dependent or good friends to provide information about the inner palace. Not only Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Ju, but the status of eunuchs in the Song Dynasty was relatively low. In history books alone, it can be seen that at least one hundred top eunuchs fell on the prime ministers or powerful ministers of the two governments. They were forced to exile to Luoyang or other other places to "super retirement", so eunuchs in the Song Dynasty could provide information for some ministers, but they also needed some powerful ministers to protect them. This relationship was dominated by powerful ministers and eunuchs as auxiliary. Even if Tong Guan was Tong, he could not be above Cai Jing.

Usually they don’t have to take sides, but when it comes to making a choice, for example, when Zhao Xu asked Lan Zhang and the others to go down to check. They have to take sides, so it doesn’t matter how Qingmiao’s method is. What’s important is whether the person you choose can stand up.

It seems that Wang Anshi is going to have the advantage, so this report is completely biased towards Wang Anshi, and its reference value is even worse than that of Li Ding's report.

Zhao Xu would not think so much, after all, he was only in his twenties, so he didn't think so much.

Lan Zhang and the other two are eunuchs in the palace, and the news they reported should be reliable.

So he immediately issued an edict to Wang Anshi to take charge of the government.

When Wang Anshi received the edict, he could no longer control it. He immediately took the government.

Well, all the efforts of Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, Sima Guang and others have been wasted.

Han Qi was shocked when he received the news and quickly wrote a letter, saying that he could not hear the Qingmiao law. He asked to explain the Hebei appeasement envoy and reported to the Secretariat. Wang Anshi also had Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi on his official position. However, although Zeng Gongliang was scheming, he was not a reformist, a conservative, or a neutralist, but a vague faction. Chen Shengzhi was even more a two-faced and speculator. Wang Anshi came back and the two of them were in charge of the matter. The person in charge became Wang Anshi again.

Wang Anshi won’t buy Han Qi’s account. If you want to withdraw from this Hebei An envoy, then just withdraw.

Sima Guang was anxious this time, so he wrote two long letters to Wang Anshi in succession. The first letter was when Wang Anshi asked to go to Luoyang. The tone of the letter was very sarcastic. When it came to the second letter, Sima Guang saw that the situation was hopeless and his tone immediately became gentle. So the beginning was: A Hanlin scholar and a bachelor's degree, Sima Guang, the right counselor, was frightened and was appointed as Jiefu's political counselor (Anshi was the left counselor's official as the official of the political affairs). Your Excellency: Guang always had nothing to do and dared not get involved in the doors of the two governments, so he could not be known as the general for a long time. Spring is warm, but he has no choice but to have the ambitious affairs and government, and he is waiting for thousands of blessings!

Sima Guang's attitude became gentle, and Wang Anshi also made a compromise. In fact, with Han Qi and others' forced him, Wang Anshi soon made another concession, abolished the Three-Secret Regulation Department, and placed the functions of the Three-Secret Regulation Department in the Zhongshu Regulation Department.

Then Wang Anshi wrote a letter, which was not like some people slandered. Wang Anshi was disdainful of Sima Guang's three letters. The letter was "Answering to Sima Guang's Advice". In this letter, Wang Anshi refuted Sima Guang's criticism and denied Sima Guang's claims of invading officials, causing trouble, chasing profits, and refusing advice. Some of these accusations were written by Sima Guang in the first letter, but Sima Guang's tone was too bad in the first letter, so Wang Anshi did not reply.

Then he said that the two of them had been together for a long time, but they were always inconsistent with each other. It was because of the different techniques they used. Then Wang Anshi wisely admitted that once the reform was reform, he would inevitably bring resentment. For example, the Shang Dynasty moved the capital to Pan Geng, not only the ministers opposed it, but also the people also opposed it. But later it was proved that the Shang Dynasty moved was a wise move, implying that Sima Guang was conservative, obedient and peaceful.

After receiving the letter, Sima Guang could not refute it, so he also replied with a short remark, saying that the country had caused turmoil and uneasiness due to the new policy.

As for reform, there will always be turmoil, so Wang Anshi did not reply.

This is the truth about the confrontation between Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing. In fact, Sima Guang was at a disadvantage in the two confrontations, but is the superiority and disadvantage important? Someone will try his best to tamper with the truth.

Sima Guang saw that things were not done, so he stopped talking except slapped his thighs with regret. Wen Yanbo had to go into battle bare shirtlessly and talk about the harm of the Qingmiao Law. Zhao Xu said that I had sent two envoys to ask the people personally, and they all said it was very convenient.

Wen Yanbo said, did Han Qi not believe in the prime ministers of the three dynasties, but believed in the two eunuchs?

Zhao Xu said in his heart that it would be better to believe in Han Qi than to believe in Su Dongpo! Of course, Wen Yanbo's report this time was also fruitless.

Just when these conservatives were out of sight, something happened.

Shi Jie's student and Ouyang Xiu's friend Jiang Qian served as the magistrate of Chenliu.

The court asked Jiang Qian to allocate Qingmiao money from Chenliu County. Ouyang Xiu's good friend could still support the reform? But although he made great achievements in Confucianism, he did not get a Jinshi, so he was humble in his official position and could not directly refuse. So he adopted the method of lip service and deliberately suspended the amount of Qingmiao money on the county gate, and then promoted the Qingmiao money. I did a good job, support the Qingmiao method.

In fact, he just did thunder and rain. He only promoted it. Come and borrow Qingmiao Loan. Then there was no measure.

In this way, can the money for the green seedlings be paid?

Chenliu County is a big county in the capital. His troubles were very important. Wang Anshi sent someone to question him. Jiang Qian said, "I am so powerful that the people don't want to lend me a loan." Did Mr. Jiefu, please let me force the levy? After a few excuses, Jiang Qian saw that his trick would definitely not work. Sooner or later, he simply said he was sick and left his post. Anyway, my family has hundreds of acres of land, so he doesn't have to worry about his own food and clothing."

Regarding the pros and cons of Qingmiao Loan, there are indeed many forced levies, but its advantages and disadvantages are to hit usury and increase national income.

The profit was that credit loans appeared nearly 700 years ago. Wang Anshi vaguely felt that this credit loan would stimulate economic growth.

Its failure is not because it is too advanced, with the economy of the Song Dynasty, this credit loan can be launched.

But Wang Anshi's thoughts cannot keep up, so his measures are not perfect.

Even when Wang Ju's mind was in his mind, he still faced many difficulties, and his biggest problem was insufficient currency. Therefore, we cannot say how good Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method is, nor can we say how noble Jiang Qian's behavior is.

However, when Jiang Qian made a fuss, the problem arose, and opposition voices aroused again.

Fan Zhen, who was informed of the government and entered the Yintai Division, brought a group of ministers to make trouble and used resignation to force him to force him to resign. Then let him resign.

When it came to the imperial examination, Ye Zuqia wrote in the strategy that his ancestors often followed the policy of "simple", and His Majesty ascended the throne and changed it to change it.

The chief examiner Lu Huiqing allocated him first, while the deputy examiner Liu Yan disagreed, and then he made trouble for Li Dalin and Su Dongpo. The three allocated Shangguan as first, and the four examiners quarreled. Zhao Xu had no choice but to send Chen Sheng to study the test plan, so he once again made Ye Zuqia the first.

Su Dongpo was dissatisfied, and Wang Anshi said angrily: "Although Shi's talent is high, his learning is not correct, and because he failed, his words fell like this.

This time, Su Dongpo was offended, and then Li decided to make the case.

Li Ding's half-brother was the great monk Foyin. This Foyin was very talented, so many elegant stories about him and Su Dongpo were circulated in later generations. However, unlike later rumors, this Foyin was not known to Su Dongpo when he went to Hangzhou. Foyin itself was a flower monk. He ate wine and drank meat, was a casual person and traveled around, so he met Su Dongpo very early.

But compared to his brother, Li Ding is indeed more mean, so the two brothers are very disagreeable.

Then Foyin told Su Dongpo that when their mother Qiu died, Li Ding was the lord of Jing County and did not obey filial piety.

This statement is not completely correct, nor is it completely wrong. Qiu remarried because Li Ding's father's family was in decline. When Qiu died, Li Ding's father was still alive and his little wife ran away with others. Of course, Li's father was unhappy, so he wrote a letter to ask Li Ding to come back to stay in his heart, but he was mourning without wearing filial clothes. However, Li Ding returned to serve as an official for three years.

Li Ding had no hatred with Su Dongpo, because he hated Wang Anshi, and heard that the Qingmiao law had not been abolished, Wang Anshi took office again, and had many of Li Ding's achievements, so he released this past. However, he was not a verbal official, so he began to reveal it to the censor Chen Jian. Zhao Xu ordered the Jiangdong, Huai and Zhejiang Transportation Envoy to ask why it became the Three Routes. Qiu remarried three times and was not in the same place, so he had to ask the Three Routes to investigate.

The result of the investigation was that Li Ding once asked for his father to be old and was in need of his support, but he did not say that he would be in charge of his mother's birth, which means he was disappointed.

Li Ding explained that my father did not tell me that it was born to Qiu, but my father was alive, so how could he wear mourning clothes casually? As a result, when he arrived in the capital, Chen Shengzhi ignored Li Ding's filial piety and unfilial piety, and Zeng Gongliang believed that Li Ding would be mourned.

It’s not a big problem to make up for clothes and mourning. At worst, one can only take away the love, and it will only take a hundred days.

But after mourning, Li Ding was completely charged with unfilial piety. In ancient times, filial piety was the leader, and this hat became a big deal. Wang Anshi immediately came forward and said two things. The first thing Li Ding was really unaware of it, and the second thing was that when a woman remarried, she was no longer a family member.

Li Ding can keep filial piety for him or not.

There is another basis for Wang Anshi not saying that with Li Ding's mother's character, is she still like a mother? Why did Li Ding be filial? After three years of being sad, she is worthy of her.

So Chen Jian was unreasonable and disgusting attacks. However, the impeachment came out. Originally, Wang Anshi appointed Li Ding as the censor, but he had no choice but to change it to Chongwen Palace Storyteller.

However, the censor Lin Dan, Xue Changchao and Fan Yu were not convinced and impeached again. Li Ding had no choice but to ask for dismissal and demoted him again, which was changed to the official affairs of the Jixian School's Secretary-General Officer Fang.

But Li Ding was surprised. My mother was dead, and I didn’t even know where Chen Jian heard it.

He didn't expect his brother, but after three or four months, Su Dongpo showed his own strength. There was a Jinshi named Zhu Shouchang. His mother gave birth to Zhu Shouchang and was expelled from the house by her father two years later.

Zhu Shouchang finally found the truth and vowed not to be an official until he found his mother. He searched for decades before he found his mother in Tongzhou. This also showed that the mobility of the population of the Song Dynasty had been crippled from Anhui to Shaanxi. At this time, his mother was in her seventies and had two sons, so that Zhu Shouchang would welcome her back together.

This was when the storm of Ang Lee’s case had not yet passed, so a small matter, a small official caused a sensation. First, Qian Mingyi strongly recommended it, and then Su Dongpo wrote poems and sang together.

Only then did Li Ding turn his attention to Su Dongpo, and then inquire about the relationship between Su Dongpo and his brother, and suddenly understood.

In other words, the two protagonists of the Wutai Poetry Case have nothing right, and they all act as villains.

Wang Ju had only a little understanding of this matter, but it was not until then that he knew the approximate truth.

But Wang Ju was also embarrassed. Could it be that I would also take the cheap mother of the Security Guard Army and the younger brother of the Jiang family to the capital to enjoy their fortunes, and even take the Jiang family to the capital to continue to be a "grandma".

The reason is very simple. Compared with Li Ding's mother, his cheap mother is undoubtedly an angel. Besides, Wang Ju's mother remarried after her father's death. No matter how she raised her, she always kept her for several years.

So after hearing the news, Wang Ju thought about the roughly what happened. He immediately spent hundreds of cents of money to buy some clothes and gifts, and sent someone to the security guards.

I'm really scared.

If people are punished for being unfilial in this era, they will be dead!

Su Dongpo was only a 25-year-old at this time, but there were many noble people behind him, including the great scientist Comrade Shen Kuo, who was a simple character.

However, this is not embarrassment, and the real embarrassment will soon arrive. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
