280 Underinsurance
Now Wang Anshi has to lean on the side of the old party a little bit, and use his strength to suppress Wang Xu, but he can't tear his face with the emperor, and the new deal has to cooperate.
What to do? He has a trick to make trouble for Wang Xu. A reformist who took the reform of the ancestral system as his own responsibility actually picked up the ancestral system to talk about things. Therefore, none of the politicians have character, they can use their mouths horizontally and vertically, and they can be butts when they need to.
"Wang Xiang, you ......" After listening to Wang Anshi's words, Wang Shao couldn't believe his ears.
This Nima has changed too fast, and a large part of his confidence in daring to have a hard top with Sima Guang comes from this reformist boss. But this time, the result was exactly the same as when he was back then, Wang Anshi betrayed Wang Shu again, just like betraying himself back then.
People, character determines fate, this sentence is not false at all. Wang Shao is an acute person, belonging to the kind of person who says the same, and he is very annoyed in the face of the twists and turns in the court, otherwise he would not be sick in a hurry. In the face of Wang Anshi's betrayal and Sima Guang's dumping, his blood pressure came up as soon as he was in a hurry, and then he fainted directly in front of the imperial case.
"Hurry up, pass on the imperial doctor, General Wang, General Wang, General Wang......" Emperor Shenzong was taken aback, how could he say that he would fall down.
He has long adapted to this kind of political struggle, and the emperors of previous dynasties have lived a short life, and most of them can't survive middle age because they are too brain-draining, and the popularity of those who have a little temper can die of anger.
What was Sima Guang thinking, why did Wang Anshi suddenly turn back, the emperor's heart was like a mirror. But it's useless to know some things, if you want to continue to maintain the balance of the court, the emperor can't follow how happy he is. Sometimes we know that it is not good for the country to do so, but we still have to make concessions in order to secure our rights.
And the candidate proposed by Wang Anshi is also in line with the interests of the royal family, who is Wang Zhong? He is a eunuch, and using eunuchs to supervise the army is also an effective way to control military generals. This is called Yangmou, you have to jump even if you know it's a pit!
Isn't it true that politics is the art of compromise. Whoever compromises skillfully, measured, and when it's time will have the last laugh.
The result of the compromise was that the king of the horses had a meritorious service in defeating the enemy, and gave the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion a scholar and a prince to protect himself. Wang Anshi was able to use the system to force the emperor to tie a rope to Wang Xu, and Emperor Shenzong also fought back in his own way.
The prince and the prince, the master, and the prince are the three divisions, and the young master, the young master, and the young guard are called the three young. The three divisions are one product, and the three young ones are all high grades. Even the grades of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are nothing more than that.
The teacher imparts knowledge, supervises virtue, and takes care of the body. The three divisions or three young teachers are the three important ministers who teach, supervise, and discipline the emperor, or they are still all-round development of morality, intellect and physique. This is not a convention, but it is written in black and white on the weekly ceremony. In addition to being filial to their parents, the emperors of the past dynasties also respected their teachers.
Since ancient times, the three divisions and the three young masters have been the supreme honor, and before the Han and Tang dynasties, it was possible to accuse the emperor of his mistakes in person. Although the times have changed, etiquette and music have collapsed, and the third division and the third young have become false titles, these six positions are still the honor of the literati's dream.
Now that a colt has suddenly won the title of one of the three young people, can you be convinced and agree?
I can't convince the emperor to be convinced, I can't be convinced, and I really can't care if I promise to others or not, because the three divisions and the three young masters are appointed by the emperor himself, and they can ask the minister's opinion or not. After all, it is to choose a teacher for his son, and the father must have the final decision.
Moreover, the title given to his brother-in-law by Emperor Shenzong is also quite meaningful. If it is indeed reluctant to let the horse be a young master or a young master, Wang Shu has not made any achievements in literature. Those few books in the Horse series are only Gewu, and according to the Great Confucian, there are still 108,000 miles, which cannot be called a young master.
The young master is even less qualified, this position requires noble virtue, and it must be infinitely close even if it is not perfect. Based on what Wang Shu did in the past few years, it is really not a noble character.
But Shaobao is different, this is a position to teach the prince how to exercise, maintain his body, how to march on horseback and fight, a bit like a physical education teacher plus a kung fu coach.
Although Wang Shu can't talk about military masters, let alone the ability to take the head of a general in the army, he is really good at exercising. This point is not only recognized by the emperor, but also by the harem concubines and official eunuchs, and even Wang Anshi does not dare to open his eyes and say nonsense.
Now the horse has used stratagems to destroy a prince of the Xia Kingdom and thousands of men and horses without blood, and also occupies a city in the Xia Kingdom, even if it is a half-finished product that has not yet been built, it is also a city.
Looking around the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty, there are those who have greater credit than Wang Xu, and there are also those who occupy more cities than Wang Xu, but when it comes to cost and efficiency, no one seems to be higher than Wang Xu.
More than 3,000 enemies were killed, only four people were killed, and less than a single soldier was wounded, in addition to the things that the enemy carried with them, even a change of clothes and breakfast were captured, and only ten thunderbolts were spent.
My brother-in-law said in the recital that the price of a thunderbolt is not expensive, and a ten-run piece is enough. If you don't hear it, you can do it with a hundred dollars. If the generals of the Great Song Dynasty could save money so much in war, they could raise another 500,000 forbidden troops.
Shouldn't this skill be taught to the crown prince? Whoever dares to say half a word, the emperor intends to ask him what his intentions are. Could it be that if you don't teach the prince to keep it for others, isn't this ill-intentioned?
In addition to promotion, the emperor did not forget to come to something practical. Wang Zhongzheng, the deputy commander, was not the commander of the light pole, and there was also a thousand heavenly martial infantry troops who went to Huangzhou with him.
It's not that the Fourth Army doesn't go out of battle, that's under normal circumstances. Whenever the emperor goes on an expedition, the four armies must follow him. Wang Zhongzheng is not the emperor, but his name is to go on the expedition in place of the emperor, so it makes sense for the Fourth Army to follow.
Anyway, the courtiers can see that the emperor is changing his way to support the horses, and he is not at ease when he has a hundred relatives and officials, so he has a thousand days of martial infantry troops.
No problem, who let Wang Shu marry the eldest princess, and was kicked out of a good brain by the horse's hooves. Whoever is not satisfied will also go to the horseshoe to try it, and see if he can kick out the ability of a star monarch to descend to earth.
Is that the end of it? That would be too much to underestimate the ambitious Emperor Shenzong. This kind of large-scale change of the legal system of the ancestors has not been dared by the emperors of all generations, why did he dare to do it?
This is called character determines fate, Emperor Shenzong has a risky gene in his bones, even if there is only half of the hope of success, as long as the harvest is rich enough, he is willing to try.
What else are you doing? Special Zone, Military Special Zone! Didn't the king of the horses mention the concept of the general staff and the special zone before leaving, the specific advantages and disadvantages of this model may not be clear, but the importance of imperial power Emperor Shenzong understood.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to give full play to the fact that carrying out a comprehensive reform of the military staff would certainly meet with opposition from the Manchu civil and military forces, but there would be much less resistance to the trial in Huangzhou.
So there was another department in the Northern Song Dynasty, called the General Staff, with Wang Shao as the deputy chief of the general staff, Emperor Shenzong himself as the chief of staff, as well as Wang Shao's son Wang Hou and several civil and military ministers who had combat experience in the wars against Xia and Liao.
This body is not permanent, and it has no right to interfere with the use of troops in the Privy Council, the Cabinet Division, and the Guard Division. It was only responsible for providing operational advice to the emperor on Huangzhou, and then suggesting to Wang Shu in the name of the General Staff.
So is there any practical significance to this department? It may not appear on the surface, but in fact it means a lot. It is a bit like the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty, at the beginning of the military aircraft department was also a small department with little power, with the emperor's enthusiasm for rights, he would slowly use various means to get power from the military aircraft department.
They are afraid to persist in everything, and after a long time, the Military Aircraft Department will become the de facto supreme military command unit. In fact, the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters is also the original intention, first using Huangzhou and Wang Shu as a cover, as long as this department is established, and then slowly expand and seize power, there will be a legitimate excuse.
At this point, the old fox Wang Anshi and Sima Guangzhi and others didn't feel anything wrong, not because they had poor political literacy, but because the staff was too advanced.
This thing is a trick that later generations have summed up after hundreds of years, as the ancients, even if they are smart, they have to stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, and they really can't think of the routine after a few hundred years.
