390 All beards and all tails
The most obvious example is not the emperor, but the eldest princess of Shu. In the past, it was not an exaggeration for her to describe her weakness, but since she gave birth to a child, the eldest princess actually only rested for more than half a month before she started to play flying eagles again.
Now she often takes her daughter to ride a horse to Yichun Garden outside the New Song Dynasty Gate to play, galloping back and forth for dozens of miles without panting, and even with her little daughter who is less than two years old, she is very leather, she doesn't cry at all when she falls, and after she gets up, she has to stomp on the ground with her little feet, babbling and cursing this broken ground to trip herself, and her style is more and more like her eccentric father.
But most of the reason is spiritual, Emperor Shenzong saw the hope of becoming the first emperor of the ages from the horse, and this hope is getting bigger and bigger, and now even the fierce rival of Western Xia is lingering.
This has the credit of Wang Anshi's new policy, but in the final analysis, it is the role of the horse. If he had not been mixed in the middle, and a series of interests such as flower cream, perfume, and pig iron had temporarily bridged the rift between the old and new parties, the reform would not have been carried out, and the military strength would not have been restored.
The most exciting thing is that the concubine actually took Liangzhou down with thousands of servants, not only took it down, but also annihilated the two elite military divisions of Western Xia, basically forcing the Empress Dowager Liang to retreat behind the scenes with the power of one person, so that Li Bingchang, who had a good impression of the Great Song Dynasty, was restored to the throne.
Don't underestimate the difference between the front of the stage and behind the scenes, so many things in Western Xia will have to be handled by Li Bingchang, and they can no longer be done according to the wishes of the Liang family brothers and sisters. At the same time, the power of the Western Xia royal family will also be reshuffled, and it will be even more difficult for Empress Dowager Liang to regain power.
Without a shrewd and capable Empress Dowager Liang, Western Xia is equivalent to missing half a life. And Li Bingchang, who was keen on Buddhism and Han culture, would greatly reduce the threat to the Great Song Dynasty, which was the fundamental reason why Emperor Shenzong agreed to the peace talks.
The emperor had to consider the overall situation, his eyes were not only fixed on Western Xia, when this big threat was gradually eliminated, his energy would naturally shift to the north, and Liao became the emperor's next target at this time.
He didn't want to leave this big trouble to his son, or he wanted to take advantage of his brother-in-law's health now that he was still in good health and had enough madness to do more to serve the royal family. If he gets kicked by the horse's hooves again one day, maybe the effect of the various gods possessing him will be gone.
Originally, Emperor Shenzong didn't believe in folk legends about horses, but as more and more things happened, he couldn't believe it or not. If it weren't for the possession of the gods, why did the original waste brother-in-law suddenly become a general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs? It doesn't make sense with any known theory.
Regardless of whether Wang Shu was possessed by a god or not, Emperor Shenzong thought that he was the hope of the Great Song Dynasty. Since it is the hope of the Great Song Dynasty, is that Li Zhong qualified to be compared with the horse?
Not to mention Li Zhong, even if Emperor Li Xian is cut down, he will not move a horse, and a eunuch actually dares to follow the ministers to calculate himself, it seems that he has been a little wild outside all these years.
As for the seed who took the lead in attacking the horses, and Wang Anshi, who was becoming more and more unpleasant, the emperor couldn't move yet. The forces represented behind them are still huge, and they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
As long as the horses can continue to make meritorious contributions, the emperor's prestige will become higher and higher. Usually no one will listen carefully to the opinions of these people, but really don't take bean bags for dry food, sometimes their voices are still very effective, especially to the emperor himself.
"Your Majesty Shengming...... It is the duty of the minister to know the person who does not know and does not notice...... ......As soon as the emperor said this, Li Xian's face immediately turned from black to blue.
It's over, that's the end of decades of struggle. At this time, he finally figured out that eunuchs are eunuchs, and he can't think about it casually like Wang Anshi, the leader of the martial arts family.
With the support of the emperor, he is a character, and if he loses the trust of the emperor, he is not even as good as a dog. It's like right now, but there is a person who comes forward to complain about himself? There really isn't, and there are so few people who don't even look at themselves!
"Retreat from the ......" Seeing that no one spoke below, Pei Ying waved the dust and puffed up his breath to announce the temporary end of this secret battle in a long and not harsh tone.
The concubine Wang Shu won again, but the loser was not Li Xian, who was still kneeling on the ground, but Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. As the leaders of the court, the two of them couldn't find a reason to impeach the concubine, and they were stopped by the emperor with a series of questions, which was too unsuccessful! Or maybe it's too anxious.
didn't catch the handle of the colt at all, and every time Wang Shu caught the crime, this is a fart. If you are an official, you understand that Wang Shu is just an extension of the emperor's will, and if you don't have a conclusive handle, it will be easier said than done to get the emperor to admit his mistakes.
"Jiefu, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry......" Not only did Pei Ying understand the gains and losses of this battle, but Sima Guang was not confused, and whispered a sentence when he walked to the apse with Wang Anshi.
"If Wang Shu doesn't get rid of this person, sooner or later there will be no place for you and me in the court, and now it makes sense to divide the new and old policies!" Wang Anshi had long figured out the reason for this failure, but as before, he still didn't want to turn back when he hit the south wall, but had a lot of opinions about the performance of the old party just now.
If Sima Guang could also stand up and take the lead in expressing his opinions, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to return to the concubine so easily, and he would have to consider the opinions of all the courtiers, maybe he would have succeeded.
"Otherwise, at this time, Wang Shu is in the limelight, are you and I willing to risk being choreographed by the Washi drama to break the net with him? Don't forget, once the Taiwan is impeached, you and I will have to resign, will Your Majesty be able to keep it at that time? ”
Sima Guang didn't care about Wang Anshi's accusations, he thought he was inferior to Wang Anshi in terms of internal affairs, but in terms of weighing the pros and cons, Wang Anshi, who had a stubborn personality, was really not an opponent.
“…… Are you saying that Su Shi will stand on the side of the colt? Wang Anshi immediately stood up when he heard this, if someone reached out to touch his back clothes at this time, it must be a layer of cold sweat.
Sima Guang is right, this is the death rule of the Great Song Dynasty, it is to impeach the prime minister or vice minister by the imperial history or the court, and resign regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
Emperor Shenzong is probably waiting for himself and Sima Guang to make a mistake, and then come up with this killer idea. When the time comes, don't say anything about the new party and the old party, they all have to be swept away by the emperor's move, and the imperial power will basically be stable after replacing the two more obedient prime ministers.
But there is one person who is more important in this matter, and he is Su Shi. Don't look at this person's level as an official, but he has a relatively loud reputation, is more serious in his work, and has a bit of the strength to recognize reason and people, but he has won a good reputation, and the emperor no longer seems to hate him.
For more than a year, it has been rising like a rocket, and now it is the main position of the station. If he really caught the handle and attacked himself, it would be really difficult to get it, because Su Shi had been alienated by the old party, and he was not accepted by the new party, and he became an outsider.
"Don't you think he is very similar to Wang Xu?" Sima Guang smiled, threw the question to Wang Anshi again, and then walked up the steps with a bulging belly.
The scattered dynasty is a scattered dynasty, but a minister like him still has to come to the apse to continue to discuss state affairs with the emperor. When these things are discussed, they often spend most of the days or even a few days, and they envy the scenery of being a big official, but they don't know that big officials are also tired, and if they don't do it well, they will have to be ruined, and the risk is very high.
Hong Tao didn't know and didn't care about how it was tossed in the court, sometimes the eldest princess would send a letter from home, but it wouldn't mention these things at all, most of them were about daughters, and even found someone to draw a portrait of the little girl.
After reading this portrait, Hong Tao really wanted to ask the painter, if you paint a portrait of a person, Nima will blindly render a yarn, leave a fart white, and paint it as it is. It's good now, I painted my daughter almost the same as Guanyin in the temple, is he Guanyin's father!
Angry, Hong Tao simply made himself a charcoal. He hadn't learned sketching, but he could always make do with cats and tigers.
What to draw? New Liangzhou City, the effect, according to Peng Da said that the scale is very accurate, if you bring it back to find a craftsman who has learned the geometry of the horse, you will definitely be able to copy a Liangzhou City that is exactly the same.
