Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty Six: The Unity of the Old and the New Relies on Zhang San(1/2)

 Zhao Xu’s understanding of Sima Guang is relatively clear.

If Sima Guang were to consider this matter, then... he probably wouldn't have an answer in the end.

Historically, Sima Guang fought with Wang Anshi like that, but he never thought of playing tricks, so he went directly to Luoyang to study books and kept silent about political affairs for fifteen years. It was not until Zhao Xu died that he returned to the Central Committee

.

Of course, the same goes for Wang Anshi. If he wants to do something, he should do it openly and accept defeat. Unlike Cai Jing and others, who use various means to protect their own power.

Because Wang Anshi and Sima Guang sought not power, but the prosperity of the country.

Sima Guang has been suffering a lot in his heart these days, and today he comes to the imperial city in a daze, mumbling something.

"Sima Guang, Sima Guang, you... how can you do such a thing? Even if Zhang San is willing to seek justice for Lu Shen, as far as I am concerned, he is using Lu Shen. What if something happens in the middle?

I'm afraid my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life. No, you can't do this. After I'm released from office, I'll go find Zhang San and explain it clearly."

After firming up his thoughts, Sima Guang suddenly felt extremely relaxed, his eyes became brighter, and his steps became more solid.

"Junshi is here!"

When Sima Guang entered the political hall, he saw Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo looking at him and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "No wonder you mentioned Suizhou Zhong'e and Lu Shenyi last time."

Sima Guang couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and hurriedly walked over, "What do you think Mr. Wen said?"

Lu Gongzhu said in surprise: "Don't you know?"

Sima Guang said: "What do I know?"

Lu Gong wrote: "Didn't some officials in Yanzhou impeach the traitors and use their official positions to enslave the soldiers?"

Sima Guang frowned: "You all know."

Lu Gong wrote, Wen Yanbo nodded at the same time.

Sima Guang said curiously: "In the past two years, whenever there is some outrageous behavior, local officials will impeach him. This has long been commonplace, and the officials never pay attention to it, so not many people pay attention to this matter."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "This time the incident seems to have become quite big, and some officials took advantage of this incident to imply that the officials were partial to Zhonge, so that Zhonge is now lawless and does not obey orders."

"This will happen."

Sima Guang couldn't help but frown.

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu immediately looked at each other, and Lu Gongzhu asked: "Jun Shi, do you have something to hide from us?"

Sima Guang glanced at the two of them guiltily, sat down, sighed, and then told the two of them the whole story.

Lu Gongzhu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Sima Guang and said: "Jun Shi! You have let that boy Zhang San lead you into trouble!"

Sima Guang also slapped his forehead in frustration, "I was really obsessed at the time."

Wen Yanbo asked: "Didn't you do this?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "I was planning to tell Zhang San just now, but we can't do this."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Did Wang Jiefu do it?"

Sima Guang thought for a moment, waved his hand, and sighed: "No matter who did it, it was all because of me. If I hadn't been able to resist looking for Zhang San that day, why would this have happened!"

Wen Yanbo thought for a while and said: "If Zhang San can really build up the public security system in the local area, and at the same time he will not unjustly accuse Lu Shen, this strategy is not bad."

Mr. Lu nodded slightly.

Sima Guang held his forehead and sighed: "But after all, I am using Lu Shen. How will I face him in the future?"

Wen Yanbo said: "The matter has come to this, I'm afraid you can't change anything. Besides, there are indeed many people who are dissatisfied with the incident in Suizhou. At that time, Lu Shen had the opportunity to return to the court and become the prime minister. As a result, his official career has been in decline since then.

If you go any further, you will inevitably feel aggrieved.

And that kind of resignation is also very uncomfortable. Everything is being watched and people are impeaching you every now and then. Why not take this opportunity to put an end to this matter? It is a kind of adult beauty!"

"What Duke Wen said is true."

Mr. Lu nodded, "Having said that, building the public security system in the northwest region is not an easy task. If Zhang San is willing to go, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to give him a little help."

Sima Guang glanced at the two of them, "Are you two trying to comfort me?"

Wen Yanbo joked: "I can't comfort you with your stubborn character."

Mr. Lu laughed out loud.

...

They misunderstood Wang Anshi. Of course, Wang Anshi did not do this, but Zhao Xu manipulated it.

For things like arching fire, Zhao Xu is definitely a professional.

Because when the emperor wants to deal with a minister, he usually sends someone secretly to light a fire in the court. If others light the fire, it may not be ignited, but if the emperor wants to do this, the fire will be lit one by one.

No big deal can set you on fire.

Soon, this matter broke out in the court.

Settling old accounts is what these officials love to do.

In particular, many civil servants were very dissatisfied with Zhao Xu's favoritism. Since someone wanted to make trouble, they all stood up and spoke out.

...

The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.

"Jifu, you came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."

"What's up."

"Have you ever heard of Suizhou Yigu?"

"heard."

Lu Huiqing nodded, "Actually, I'm a little puzzled by this matter. It comes out of nowhere."

Wang Anshi said: "Don't many ministers hope that Zhang San will be transferred to the northwest? You secretly suggested that Zhang San be allowed to try this case, and at the same time build the local public security law."

Lu Huiqing hurriedly asked: "Is this the work of my mentor?"

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "I guess it was Sima Junshi who did it, but it doesn't matter. I have talked with Zhang San before. He is willing to go to the northwest to manage the salt policy. If the salt policy is not managed well, the salt money will probably be gone."

It won’t last long.”

Lu Huiqing said: "But if he goes, he will either be in the procuratorate or go to the imperial court, and the salt administration will not be under his control."

Wang Anshi said: "He is only responsible for rectifying the official administration and eliminating corruption. As for the salt administration, I will arrange for Yuan Jiang to take over Xue Xiang's position and serve as the transfer envoy."

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "Bachelor Yuan is really a good candidate. He is one of the few bachelors in the Hanlin Academy who supports his mentor's New Deal. In addition, he once managed the salt administration in Hebei and achieved good political results."

Wang Anshi smiled and nodded, and added: "Actually, it's okay to transfer Zhang San. He is here, and he often interrupts my new policy. The plans we made have been changed more than once because of him.

.”

Lu Huiqing also had a deep understanding of this. From time to time, Zhang Fei would come up with legal methods, and from time to time he would come up with a voluntary declaration, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

In fact, Wang Anshi was a little unhappy when he declared on his own last time, because Zhang Fei didn't tell him the truth at that time, and both he and Sima Guang were actually very passive.

Fortunately, it was successful. What if it had not failed?

Wang Anshi was a little confused at that time.

We have to find another place for Zhang Fei to do the trouble. In short, don't stay in the capital.

The Qingmiao Method will be released soon. If Zhang Fei causes trouble again, Wang Anshi will really be depressed to death.

Initially, everyone was still arguing about this, but when Lu Huiqing quietly fanned the flames and started a fire, soon the officials from the DPRK and China formed a tacit understanding, which was to use this matter to drive Zhang Fei out of Bianjing.

You kid, go and harm others.

Of course, it is best to be harmed by others.

Regardless of whether it is for Zhang Fei's good or to harm Zhang Fei, push him northwest.

That's a good place to go.

Zhang family.

"So fast?"

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zun in surprise.

It had only been ten and a half days before this incident started to happen.

It can only be said that the emperor is a bull.

Xu Zun sighed: "Originally, everyone was arguing about whether Zhong E and Lu Shen were right or wrong, but now no one is talking about it. It seems that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty want to transfer you to the northwest as an official."

"Really?"

Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "Do they hate me so much?"

Xu Zundao: "It's best if you plan this matter yourself, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle."

He didn't know about it, and he didn't even pay attention to it at first, because since the tax exemption, the procuratorate's affairs have become more and more busy, and he was also very busy. It was only later that everyone implicated Zhang Fei in this incident, and he

I realized something was wrong!
