Chapter 560: Advance and Retreat

Because when it was not yet decided whether to change the law or to be conservative in the imperial court, Lu Huiqing showed a gorgeous big move, and had a head-to-head duel with Sima Guang, the world's first cannon, with classics as weapons.

And, win!

Zhao Ji set up the Erying Palace, and the Chongzheng Hall told stories, learning from the ministers and listening to political opinions.

So this is the natural battlefield of the two sides, and every time you teach, you have to quote scriptures and classics to prove your own point of view.

On that day, Sima Guang spoke first, talking about "Shangshu": "It is anti-commercial politics, and the government is old." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that although King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty, he still followed the statecraft of the Shang Dynasty. Thus, the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years.

Therefore, following the laws of the ancestors and not changing easily is the right way.

Then Sima Guang took the Han Dynasty as an example, Xiao Gui Cao followed, although there were constant disputes, but the country has been stable, and the people have become richer and richer.

Until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the family law of his ancestors without authorization, thieves arose all over the world;

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty re-followed the ancestral family law, and the country was stable for a long time;

Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty changed the family law without authorization, and the world fell into chaos again.

Lu Huiqing came to the stage, and "Shangshu" also gave a lecture, but it was about how "Shangshu" asked everyone to change the law.

There is a cloud in "Shangshu": "The beginning of the first month is harmonious, and the cloth is like Wei." ”

That is to say, in the first month of each year, the Son of Heaven will publish the decree outside the palace gate. Since the decree must be promulgated once a year, does it not mean that the decree must be changed once a year?

"Shangshu" has a cloud: "Five years and one patrol, the test system is for the princes." ”

Doesn't this mean that the decree of the Son of Heaven must be changed every five years, how can it be said that the system remains unchanged?

Next, let's start to derive, or the Han Dynasty.

Master Sima said that the laws of the Han Dynasty were immutable, and as long as the law was changed, the country would be in turmoil.

However, historical records record that Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty abolished the demon book order and the book coercion order in the Gaozu period; Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty also abolished the previous dynasty's acceptance order, how can it be said that it is unchanged?

As for the problem of thieves during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was not because of the change of law, but because of the recklessness of the army and the abuse of people's power.

During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the country was prosperous, not because of the restoration of Xiao He's old law, but because the emperor selected the virtuous and used the virtuous ministers to govern the country.

During the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the country declined because the emperor reused traitorous ministers and killed meritorious deeds indiscriminately.

It can be seen that the decline of the Han family has nothing to do with the change of law.

There is also a cloud in "Shangshu": "Wuzuo is clever and messes up the old chapters." ”

But this sentence does not mean that future generations should not change the law, but not to be clever and arbitrarily change the law when the time is not ripe.

Now, our emperor is wise and martial, and he has formulated a series of feasible laws and regulations when he participates in politics, and the time is ripe, why don't you hurry up and change the law?

Su You couldn't help but sigh, Lu Huiqing, through history and kung fu, is really solid!

But if Lu Huiqing dared to fight each other with the Su family, who were good at "Warring States Vertical and Horizontal Family Dialect", Su You would point out that Lu Huiqing's arguments were insufficient.

"The beginning of the first month and the beginning of the new year, Bufa is like Wei." Obviously, the law is reaffirmed every year to show that it is valued, but it does not change every year.

"Five years and one patrol, the test system is for the princes." Since it is an examination, it is an examination, and it is to check the implementation of the law by the princes, and does it have anything to do with the announcement of the new law?

Lao Lu, you are secretly changing the concept!

However, Su You is not going to help Sima Guang this time, because he is actually also a law changer.

But he was not ready to help Wang Anshi, because he was bullied again.

"Qingmiao Law" still does not reflect the suggestions he mentioned to Wang Anshi, and locally, there is still a phenomenon of inhibition and forced apportionment!

Su You felt that it would be good to let the two stubborn donkeys learn a lesson.

First of all, Li Chang and Sun Jue wrote: "Wang Guangyuan messed around in Hebei and forcibly apportioned. The people were uproaring, and Guangyuan entered the play, saying that the people were cheering, singing, and dancing, and singing praises of saintliness. ”

Zhao Ji immediately issued an edict: "Zhulu Changping and Guangcang gave money to scatter green seedlings, which was originally to benefit the poor, but now the officials are not considerate of this, and they are all detained, and they are turned into harassment." It made all roads raise the awareness of the prison officers, and the violators were immediately famous, and so were those who dared to be depressed. ”

At the same time, various inspectors were dispatched, and Zhang Ruoshui and Lan Yuanzhen, the deputy governors of the inner department, were dispatched to inspect the money affairs of the prefecture.

Because Hebei is too important, Han Qi became a firefighter, just came out of Shaanxi, and was sent to sit in the Daimyo's Mansion and concurrently serve as the Hebei Road transfer envoy.

When the edict was issued, Han Qi immediately wrote tens of thousands of words, saying that the Qingmiao Law was inconvenient.

What's even worse is that several notices issued by states and counties are also attached to the book, which clearly contains the content of forced apportionment!

Han Qi's original words were: "The ministers originally wrote an edict from Qingmiao, and they were responsible for the benefit of the people, so that the annexors would not take advantage of their urgency to invite double the interest, and the public would not seek profit." ”

"However, for every 1,000 borrowed now, 1,300 is paid, and the official releases money for interest, not for the purpose of annexation and relief of the poor. If you want the people to be convinced, you can't get it. ”

"Although the new edict cannot be suppressed, the upper household will not be willing to invite, although the lower household may be willing to ask, it will be difficult to urge, and then there will be the trouble of executing and supervising and accompanying the same protection!"

"Begging all roads to promote officials, according to the old law."

Zhitong entered the Yintai Division Fan Zhen and said: "The young seedlings are the ones who are in the Tang Dynasty and the world is in turmoil. Miao Qing is in the field, first estimate its straightness, convergence is not finished, it is already interesting, it is the method of stealing. ”

The reason why Su You's suggestion was not adopted by Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing was actually Su You's pot.

There is no other reason, it's all because this baby is too profitable.

Zhao Ji allocated a total of 600,000 guan to Su You, which was a long time before the establishment of the Ordnance Supervisor, and 24 million guan was given to Wang Anshi after he took office as governor of the government.

Over the past year, Su You not only made the ordnance supervisor in a hurry, but also paid 300,000 yuan in taxes, repaid one-third of his principal, and attached 50,000 yuan in interest, and also got a lot of weapons!

In contrast, the Ordinance Division is somewhat lackluster.

So Lu Huiqing, Wang Yan and others thought that this was the purpose of Su You's suggestion that Wang Anshi change the Qingmiao Law, so that they could take 24 million yuan of money and only do 6 million yuan of business, and also reduce interest rates and free interest to help fourth- and fifth-class households.

6 million guan, even if all the three-point interest is recovered, it will only be 1.8 million guan, this and this......

As for farmland water conservancy, it is difficult to see benefits in the short term, even if Zhao Ji is eccentric, and the two sides are compared, I am afraid that there will be opinions.

Coupled with Zeng Bu's instigation, Lao Wang decided to be more radical and have some immediate results.

So history went back to the old ways.

In March, Su You went back to Bianjing to see off Lao Zhang.

Zhang Fangping and Zhao Luan were appointed as governors at the same time, but their buttocks were not hot, so they went to worry about their father, and came back from service, and Zhao Xuan appointed him as a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, and sentenced him to the province of Shangshu.

Zhang Fangping and Lao Su Ke are hardcore friends, and they are also people who don't have a lot of interest in Wang Anshi, and they talked about the harm of the new law in front of Zhao Ji several times, which made Zhao Ji very unhappy.

So the old Zhang was sentenced to know Chenzhou.

Not long after the old man arrived in Chenzhou, Zhao Ji regretted it, and summoned the old man back and appointed him as the envoy of the Xuanhui Northern Academy, still wanting to keep Lao Zhang in Beijing.

Wang Anshi personally went to Zhao Ji and claimed that Lao Zhang had a huge influence in the Third Division, and with him in Beijing, the work of the Regulations Department was not easy to carry out.

The old man also knew that he couldn't cooperate with Wang Anshi, and tried to release him, so Zhao Ji changed the sentence to the old man and went out of Ying Tianfu again.

Since beating the old man to Chenzhou, there has been one more person by his side - Su Zhe.

The real eldest brother of the Ordinance Division, the same Zhongshu Sect Ping Zhangshi, and Chen Shengzhi, a scholar of Jixian Palace, had already parted ways with Wang Anshi.

When Han Qi was an official in Yangzhou, a peony in the back garden of the official office had red petals up and down, but there was a yellow circle in the middle, which was called "Golden Belt Wai". Legend has it that if this flower blooms, there will be a prime minister in Yangzhou City.

coincided with the blooming of flowers, and there were four more, so Han Qi invited Wang Qi, Wang Anshi, and Chen Shengzhi to enjoy the flowers, and took off the four "golden belts" and put their hairpins on their heads.

This is the allusion of the "hairpin four phases", and later the four of them really became prime ministers.

It's a pity that the old friendship can't match the new situation, Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi's views on the new law soon reached an irreconcilable point, seeing that the new law was opposed by the courtiers, Chen Shengzhi made a happy decision - to leave and run away.

After lying in bed for more than 100 days, Shenzong urged and advised several times before returning to the imperial court, but he became a puppet.

Chen Shengzhi just lost power, Su Zhe couldn't stay in the Ordinance Department at all, and this baby sat on the coldest cold bench because of his opposition to the new law.

The last position Wang Anshi arranged for him was the left-behind magistrate of Henan Mansion.

are all the three divisions of the inspection of the auspicious text, Lu Huiqing's kind of the inspection of the auspicious text, and now it is the official business of the fifth room of the inspection of the middle book, "but if it does not work, it is no different from being in power." ”

Su Zhe, on the other hand, took a big step back, and retreated to the point that there was no difference between taking the system exam and just taking the exam.
