The implementation of the exemption law was very cautious. It was initially only tried near the capital. It took a year to see the results and determine whether to promote it nationwide (think about how Li Zicheng could rise up more than 500 years later, and you should know how difficult it is to implement the "autonomous law"). This gave the opposition a glimmer of hope. The famous Dongming County incident occurred immediately.

One morning at the end of the year, the gate of Kaifeng City opened in the early morning, and suddenly hundreds of people rushed in. These people went straight to the mayor's office, the Kaifeng Prefecture Grand Office. Unfortunately, Bao Zhengji had been dead for many years and his working habits had long been restored to his original state. These people were blocked by two thick and cold doors, so they could only report the reason to the doorman carefully: they were residents of Dongming County within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, and they came to file a lawsuit because the exemption law made them unable to survive!

At this point, it should be said that everything is within the scope of control. There is a problem with the national policies and laws in the implementation of the country, and the people are a little confused. Whether they are here to complain or ask for advice, the methods they use are very correct - Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture, this is his duty! Even if he is an opposition, he cannot make a reasonable explanation of the right or wrong of the exemption law. At least he has the responsibility to stabilize the situation and let these hundreds of people stay honestly in Kaifeng Prefecture or somewhere else, and then ask his superiors for how to deal with it...

But he didn't! His approach was really great. The door of Kaifeng Mansion was closed that day, and I spoke out, three words "not accepted". You can go find the person responsible for the new law!

This is the first turning point in the Dongming County incident. After more than a thousand years, we can't speculate randomly. Is there someone who is adding fuel to the fire and comes up with some clever ideas? As a result, these ordinary people rushed into Wang Anshi's private residence as soon as possible after leaving Kaifeng Prefecture!

I have seen those who wrote anonymous reports, and those who sat in front of the government office building and demonstrated... But have you seen hundreds of people gathered and rushed into the Prime Minister's home during the peaceful years? This happened in the Song Dynasty at the end of 1070...

That day, Wang Anshi had not yet attended court. After such a thing happened, he chose not to escape, but to stand up in person and asked these people two questions: 1 Why is this trouble? The villagers replied, "The exemption law was implemented in their county, and their household registration level changed. The poor peasants who were originally the fifth-class level have all become third-class wealthy households. In this way, the money they had to pay became a day's number. They could not afford it at all, and they would be forced to death."

Wang Anshi was shocked. He believed that the moment he heard this answer, he must have been so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was also afraid that he was cold all over! It was very simple. Dongming County was right next to Kaifeng City. At the foot of the real "Emperor", someone dared to do anything. Think about the vast territory of the Song Dynasty. If he left the emperor and his own eyes, what would his new law be twisted into? That day, he calmed down and told the villagers: "The Prime Minister's House does not know about this matter" but he will soon start investigating it. Then he asked the second question: Come on, do the magistrate of Dongming County know? This is a matter of principle. If such a big thing happened in Dongming County, who changed the household rank. If so many people petitioned, the county magistrate at least had to inform the superiors in advance!

But the answer is that the county magistrate doesn’t know! This is more depressed. How should Wang Anshi, the leader, deal with this? Hundreds of people act spontaneously. Even if there are any crimes, the law will not blame the public, let alone these are all ordinary people!

Wang Anshi knew that he had to leave his home and go to court. Official experience told him: This incident must have caused a sensation in the entire Kaifeng capital, and the news would instantly spread to the palace. And there was his real battlefield!

He told these villagers that they still have to go through legal procedures to petition. Please go to the Censorate, a higher-level unit of Kaifeng Prefecture, and let it be handled and investigated there... And this incident formed two versions from here: Wang Anshi's version and Censorate's version.

At that time, the Censor General was named Yang Hui. His approach was even more handsome than the prefect of Kaifeng. Facing the villagers holding paper, he directly stated that the government office only accepted disputes between officials and you ordinary people were not qualified to worry about us. He immediately dispersed! The villagers were very obedient this time and all left. But after the people left, Yang Hui started his work: he immediately sent a large number of subordinates to investigate what was going on? The investigation results were soon released. It was because Wang Anshi's subordinates did not divide the levels according to the original household registration account of the government, and they privately divided them first and directly assigned them to the county below for execution. This led to the farce of the fifth level in Dongming County turning into the third level. Therefore, the conclusion was that the Xinfa Group was completely nonsense, and was vicious, and exploited the common people in a variety of ways. It must be abolished as soon as possible to restore the peaceful order of the **** upper country!

But Wang Anshi soon had his own statement. The county magistrate of Dongming County was named Jia Fan, and his resume was the former subordinate of the Privy Councilor Wen Yanbo. He had arbitrarily modified the household registration level in Dongming County. He has now fled his post and fled from Dongming County to Kaifeng City. But where? It just can't be found! So, is someone instructing him to do this, such as the respected Lord Wen? But no one dares to say that...

This matter ends here and is left alone.

On January 4th year of Xining (1071), Han Jiang ordered Zhong Yan to attack Xixia. The two plotted to send troops to capture Hengshan. Guo Kui reported, "Zhong Yan was crazy, and the court used it because of the family of the Zong family, which would make a big mistake." In order to instruct Zhong Yan to lead the troops without being restricted, Han Jiang reported to the court and recall Guo Kui. Zhong Yan did not let Han Jiang down, defeated the Xixia army, seized Luowu City, and guarded it with tens of thousands of soldiers.

On the 1st of the month, Wang Anshi finally mentioned the old things again and challenged the family laws of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty again! The sixth new law - the reform of the imperial examination was introduced! It is stipulated that from then on, poetry and essays and Mingjing subjects will be dismissed, and the principles will be used to test Jinshi.

Once this new law was implemented, it marked the complete separation of Wang Anshi from the current officialdom of the Song Dynasty!

He used new textbooks to educate new talents and new officials in the new exams to replace the existing officials who have the same ideas and desires as Sima Guang, Su Shi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Ouyang Xiu.

What kind of spirit is this! As Sima Guang said in his first book with Wang Jiefu, "...Fighting against the people in the world and deciding the outcome with one." In all officialdoms since ancient times, this is something that no one dares to do! In order to create an environment where ideological unity and the whole nation strives for a goal. As modern people, we all know deeply about the necessity of this point, this is the primary condition for reform and must be completed...

On the 8th, Zeng Bu was appointed as the official official of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Zeng Bu was the best friend of Wang Anshi in history and said, "Wang Anshi will do it immediately. Some people say that Bu will do it [31 Novel Network] Feng Jing and Wang Gui participated in politics. Bu said, "The Prime Minister has agreed, why ask him if he is? Wait for the imperial edict to come out and order his name to be a ban'."

On the lunar month and day, Xixia received support from the Great Liao Dynasty, and raised troops to counterattack, capturing Funing City and Zhong Yan's newly built fortresses. On the lunar month, the Qingzhou defenders mutiny. Zhong Yan was ordered to quell the rebellion, and Luowu City was recovered by Xixia. On the 1st, Zhong Yan and Han Jiang were punished for this.

On April 18, Sima Guang met Lu Hui at the capital while dying. After accepting Lu Hui's last words, he began to write a resignation letter to the emperor. He asked Zhao Xu to allow him to leave from Yongxing Army and go to Luoyang, a farther west of Xijing, to fulfill his lifelong wish - to write a book!

To complete the masterpiece "Zizhi Tongjian", which is famous throughout the ages and is also reflected in the descendants of the historian master Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian". Shenzong agreed. From then on, Sima Guang completely withdrew from the officialdom of the Shenzong Dynasty. He stayed far away in Luoyang, Xijing, stared at the every move of the New Party Group, never mentioned state affairs, and focused on compiling "Zizhi Tongjian", quietly waiting for the opportunity to turn over and restore the throne...

This is a terrible opponent. He is definitely not giving up, but he judges the times and tries the world. He understands that Wang Anshi is unshakable at this time, so he will never be in love with the fight! Sometimes retreating is even more a strategy!

Su Shi, the chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, was also demoted from the capital and served as the governor of Hangzhou.

In terms of position, when Kaifeng Prefecture promoted officials, he could only be considered as the middle and lower-level officials among countless officials in the capital, but his writing skills were good and everything was good. Su Shi could go anywhere, meet anyone, and talk to him. So Su Shi appeared in any occasion, even if the famous scholar Fan Zhongyan died, he would not let him go. He ran to Wen Zhenggong's former residence to shed tears in the wind and sang to pay tribute.

If Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang was demoted, he ran to accuse the former Prime Minister of being timid and cowardly, making Wang Anshi lawless. Zeng Gongliang sighed and said, "The emperor and Anshi are the same as Anshi." The emperor and Wang Anshi are so kind that they are the same person. What can I do?

After this conversation, Su Shi's reputation rose sharply in the community of scholars and officials. A good young man said something we wanted to say but dare not say, he is very brave! But, in what capacity did you take, and whose order did you follow to question the former Prime Minister's work performance? And if you really have the courage and responsibility, why didn't you go and ask when Zeng Gongliang was the prime minister? At that time, Prime Minister Zeng had the right to do what you said!

Zeng Gongliang was followed by Fan Zhen. Before Fan Zhen resigned and returned to his hometown, Su Shi appeared. Just like he represented a sacred group, he announced to Fan Zhenzhen with great importance, "You are really a hero." Fan Zhen sighed deeply, "I have not done enough."

If there are no previous analysis of the new law, just what he said is true, it is indeed nothing wrong, and even young people are very passionate and worthy of praise. But after the previous analysis, you will know that Su Shi's position has slipped further and further away, completely abandoning his original origin, becoming a scholar-official who drinks people's blood, eats people's ointment, and enslaves the people for their joy...

Wang Anshi finally couldn't bear it anymore: Xiao Su, no matter how good your articles are or your reputation is, you can't resist the government's decision-making in a blatant way, right? Are you still a national civil servant after all?

So Su Shi was sent to Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and became an official in a beautiful city like a paradise on earth. Su Shi, who occupied a very important position in the cultural history of the Song Dynasty, officially began...

On May 10, former Censor Lu Hui died.

Recalling: He was not actually revealed in Wang Anshi's new policy, that is, before the initial equal-loss law was released, he was incompatible with Wang Anshi. After that famous impeachment, he took the initiative to ask for exile and never lived with the "treacherous"!

The emperor satisfied him and asked him to become the governor of Dengzhou. Then Lu Hui saw Wang Anshi's new laws one after another, and after endlessly spreading, his anger truly reached an irreconcilable state! He became sick from the ground...

After Shenzong learned that he was sick, he specially ordered him to take him back to the capital for treatment. However, heart disease still needs heart medicine to be treated. The new method is in full swing and spread throughout the world. This situation has not changed for a day, and Lu Hui's mood cannot improve for a day... Finally, Lu Hui died of illness in the capital. His death also changed a person's fate. When Lu Hui was seriously ill, Sima Guang's Yongxing Army in Shaanxi knew that Lu Hui was critically ill, and rushed to the capital to meet his last time.

When he rushed to Lu Hui's bed, Lu Huiji closed his eyes and his breathing stopped. Sima Guang burst into tears, hating that he was so late. But suddenly Lu Huiqiang opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. He looked at Sima Guang's direction, regardless of whether he saw it clearly, and said the last sentence, "The world is still something that can be done, and you really want to encourage me."

It is conceivable that Sima Guang's mood at that time was because Lu Hui has always been his comrade-in-arms. The past is vivid in my mind. From the establishment of the crown prince by Emperor Renzong to the Puyi of Emperor Yingzong, and then to the reform of Wang Anshi at this time, the two of them have surprisingly consistent political views. It can be said that they have been striving for the same goal. In the current situation, it can be said that he and Lu Hui are both losers, while Wang Anshi are the winners. But Lu Hui still trusts him like this before his death. This is trust, and it is even more responsibility! How should he do to be worthy of the last wish of a dying person?

Lu Hui used the living example of fighting to the death and never compromising, telling Sima Guang: We must fight Wang Anshi to the end! Things in the world are not desperate yet! Junshi, you have to work hard!

On the 18th, Xu Fubi was ordered to take up care of Luoyang, Xijing. Under the call of Sima Guang, Fubi and others, Luoyang, Xijing, gradually became the base camp of conservatives who competed with Kaifeng, Tokyo...

On the other hand, because the Liao Shengzong had to obey the power of the Khitan soldiers. Due to the land blockage, King Wang Hui of Goryeo, who had been blocked from China for four years, finally expressed his desire to go to Fujian to transfer Luo Zheng through Fujian merchant Huang Zhen. This made the emperor who was obsessed with regaining Yan Yun very excited. Later, Wang Hui sent an envoy to take over the sea and landed in Dengzhou, Shandong and then moved to Kaifeng City to meet Song Shenzong. The relationship between Song and Goryeo was cut off for four years and then recovered.
