Chapter 434: Humiliation
"No, we have to wait."
"Wait?"
"What is the merit, the actual merit is a double-edged sword, the battle of the village has achieved the prestige of Zhang Qi Xiangong, if the rich duke did not send an envoy to the Liao State, if the Duke of Wen, the Duke of Han, and the Duke of Pang did not hold important positions in the northwest, and later may not be able to successfully enter the two prefectures."
Zhang Ruoshui nodded.
"But what really chilled the people of the Western Xia was Yanzhou, or Gyeongju or Weizhou? No, it's Fulin Road, Zhang Kang. But what happened to Zhang Kang? And who contributed the most to the Northwest Campaign that year? â
"Zhang Kang, Di Qing?"
"Di Qing's fame is in the south, although he has also made achievements in the northwest battlefield, but he is far inferior to Zhang Kang. But it's not these two people, but Lu Yi Jiangong, before the outbreak of the Qingli War, my dynasty experienced a rare drought, the Yellow River burst, the treasury was empty, in this case, I hurriedly launched a war with the Western Xia, with hundreds of millions of trillions of dollars, if there is no Lu Gong to manage, what will happen? However, after the war, what happened to Lu Gong? â
Don't talk about the Song Dynasty, even in later generations, few people know about Zhang Kang. As for Lu Yijian, his evaluation is also very low, and he is even inferior to Sima Guang.
But in fact, excluding the "Zizhi Tongjian", only talking about politics, a thousand Sima Guang is not as good as Lu Yijian!
"Gong Lu is now right," Ye Mo said carefully.
"Gong Lu is right, in the hearts of the people, he is still inferior to Gong Wen of Han, and he is the minister of power, why is he smeared by everyone?"
It is okay to say that Zhang Kang's fate is not good, Lu Yijian is different, he wants to have a family background, and he has rights and rights. Why did Shengsheng become a villain traitor?
"Why?"
Led by Fan Zhongyan. The gentlemen are in a group. But how many people are huddled with me? â
"It's a party."
"I guess it's a party. I don't form a party, so this credit may not be a good thing for me, at least I can't be arrogant and even take the initiative to erase this credit, so that everyone will not hate me because of merit. So it's not an opportunity. Wang Ju glanced at Zhang Ruoshuidao.
In general, Zhang Ruoshui is not a good successor to the future ordnance supervisor, he is a little greedy, this is another fat gap. If he is greedy, it will be difficult for the Ordnance Supervisor to ensure the efficiency and honesty that Wang Ju has built up with great difficulty.
But where to find talented and honest officials, besides, this is an institution that manufactures armor, and generally talented civil officials, let him come and not be willing to come.
However, greed has the benefit of greed, and it is precisely because of Wang Ju's promise that Zhang Ruoshui used his relationship in the inner palace to inquire about Sima Guang's conversation. This matter also bears risks, and after the incident, Lu Gongshu and others wrote a book. strongly asked Zhao Ji to investigate the inner palace, and Zhao Ji was indeed furious in the inner palace. demoted several eunuchs to Luoyang.
And because he was greedy for merit, he did a lot of things for Wang Ju during this time.
Maybe the idea in Zhang Ruoshui's heart is that Wang Ju may leave the ordnance prison that day, but if this official problem is not solved, it will resurge at any time, and the ordnance supervisor may become a mess again, so Zhang Ruoshui can't wait to solve this problem by himself.
However, it can't be solved, if so many officials are laid off, won't it cause trouble?
The problem of redundant officials is very strict, everyone knows about it, but the minister has solved it? Including Wang Anshi, in history, Wang Anshi has made some efforts to reduce and merge states and counties, delay the time for conferring officials, and reduce the number of graces, but that is only a control, not a direct reduction.
Including Wang Ju's very early book, the section on redundant officials is also mainly controlled.
And Wang Anshi did not do a good job in history, in his hands, the number of officials did not decrease, but increased, so it became more and more redundant.
Now Wang Ju is directly cut, and there are more than 100 officials, nearly 200 officials, and hundreds of officials, so is it so easy? Therefore, Wang Ju could only continue to wait, waiting for not this merit, but the upcoming war in Suizhou......
But this Wang Ju doesn't need to be said, so as not to be too heard.
He turned his head and asked Ye Mo, "How many craftsmen are there over there?" â
"Ming Gong, there are more than 600 craftsmen."
"It's up to them, don't ask, see how long they can endure."
"Whoa."
"You've worked hard during this time."
"Don't dare," Ye Mo's eyes flickered, but he thought about the words and finally didn't say it, but Wang Ju didn't pay attention, and looked at the official document in his hand, the imperial court has allocated funds one after another, war breaks out at any time, and the armor and weapons must be produced as soon as possible, and there are more affairs in his hands.
But soon, Zhao Ji sent someone to summon him into the palace.
The intention was Sima Guang's words.
Sima Guang read "Tongjian", that is, Zizhi Tongjian, but now the name is only Tongjian, Sima Guang attacked Zhang Fangping, which made Zhao Ji disgusted, and issued an edict, Okay, you can repair the book.
So Sima Guang once again repaired the general knowledge of governance, of course, it has not been repaired at this time, but Sima Guang often talks, look, this is the history book of my cultivation.
It is undeniable that the value of Zizhi Tongjian in Chinese historiography cannot be mythologized indefinitely. For example, Zhu Xi commented that Duke Wen didn't like power schemes, so he deleted it when he revised the book, so what was the matter at that time? I had to save zĂ i with him. If a few lines are deleted from each place, and there is no meaning in just reading it, how can it be saved, but do not make a judgment to judge it.
This Duke Wen doesn't like power schemes...... That one...... However, the latter sentence is right, Sima Guang retains what he likes, and directly deletes or modifies what he doesn't like, regardless of whether it is a history book or not. The more Zhu Xi looked at this, the more dissatisfied he became, so he said again, Wen Gong cultivates books, and those who do not agree with their own intentions will be removed, and they don't know what others want to do. "Tongjian" and so on.
Yan Yan of the Ming Dynasty listed the seven diseases of Tongjian, omission, complexity, disorder, miscellaneous, error, persistence, and falsehood.
However, Wang Ju still has a high evaluation of Tongjian, but because of this lecture, it caused a controversy.
Sima Guang talked about Cao Shen Dai Xiao, and then said, what is the way to participate in the same, and the way to keep it is done, so when filial piety and high queens, the world is silent, and food and clothing breed.
Zhao Ji said that Han Chang kept Xiao He's law unchanged, but what?
Sima Guang said that He Duhan also made the three generations of kings always abide by the laws of Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, although they still exist.
Zhao Ji knew that Sima Guang was tricky, but Zhao Ji didn't distinguish it, and he didn't want to distinguish Sima Guang, but he lost his identity if he did, and then this conversation ended quickly.
Zhao Ji called Wang Ju for this matter.
After Wang Ju heard this, he said silently in his heart, Sima Guang, how awesome do you have to be to shout this sentence that reverses black and white?
However, Wang Ju's expression was very calm, he didn't answer immediately, but was thinking.
In fact, this is a very simple truth, why ask? Or rather, why did Zhao Ji ask?
Could it be that it is a distrust of Wang Anshi, it is also impossible, Wang Ju suddenly understood, so he said: "Your Majesty, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people." It's like the minister turns iron into good steel, this is also the ability of the minister, the ability of human beings, but let the minister turn a stone into gold, then it is not an ability, but a demon, treacherous! â
Why do you want to change the law, Wang Ju said too much, and he didn't want to say it.
As for some bad phenomena in Wang Anshi's reforms, there is no way. If Wang Ju came to the Song Dynasty ten years in advance, successfully ascended to the throne, sniped Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, prevented Zhao Shu from ascending to the throne, and then introduced some more reasonable measures, then the Song Dynasty would still be able to tide over the crisis without the Qingmiao Law, the City Easy Law, the Equal Loss Law and some other money-collecting measures. But at this time, is it possible not to collect money?
However, the problem is also here, before Wang Anshi changed the law, most people still agreed to change the law, but including Zhao Ji, most people thought that Wang Anshi was a bit of a stone into gold, and the means of turning water into oil was actually impossible, even if Wang Ju had big fingers, it was also impossible, so many people were disappointed, and maybe Zhao Ji was also disappointed.
This is already very difficult, Zhao Ji has another "different theories to stir up", different theories are good, that is in normal times, Guan Jian is going to change the law now, can he still stir up?
What's worse is that Zhao Ji has been negligent to Sima Guang, don't say that Zhao Ji likes Sima Guang, if that's the case, Sima Guang can't stay in Luoyang forever after Sima Guang arrives in Luoyang.
Why Sima Guang is because Sima Guang can "stir".
It is also because of this stirring that these people have been able to be active on the political stage, and then ...... And then there was no then.
So Wang Ju tactfully persuaded him.
"Then you agree with Wang Jiefu's change?"
"The minister has always agreed, but His Majesty must not focus on accumulating money, so that there will be fewer drawbacks of changing the law."
"How's that armory supervisor doing?"
"Your Majesty, the court of the ordnance superintendent, not the minister, as for the officials, it is not time to deal with it yet." Wang Judao. Of course, at this time, Wang Ju can make a request, Zhao Ji will also agree, but Zhao Ju agreed, issued an edict, there are still many people who are not satisfied, it is not a good opportunity to cut, so Wang Ju continues to wait, this time is only a month or two, and so on, those craftsmen will be fewer and fewer, and in the end it is not harmful, this kind of military supervision has raised so many idlers, maybe there is no need for Wang Ju to mention, there will also be ministers to put it forward, there are these three benefits, why not, why hurry?
The summons were brief.
The first is that Zhao Ji now has an unconfident self-confidence mentality, thinking that he can control it.
Second, Zhao Ji thought that his ultimate goal was to strengthen the country, at least to destroy the Western Xia in his lifetime, and the pressure of the Song Dynasty would be greatly eased at that time, in order to achieve this goal, then the negative effect of the change can also be understood, at least stronger than the Qingli War.
Third, Zhao Ju also had high hopes for Wang Ju, so he hurriedly summoned Wang Ju to the capital to serve as the inspector of the regulations, and Wang Ju also agreed to go to the Ordnance Supervisor, but at least there was any wisdom to improve Wang Anshi's changes, but Wang Ju stayed out of the matter, which made Zhao Ju a little dissatisfied.
So after a few words, Zhao Ji asked Wang Ju to go back.
Then Lu Huiqing's humiliation came.
The location, the Ying Pavilion, is actually the imperial study. It is a place for the emperor to study, and it may be that the "imperial teachers" can bring some private goods with them when teaching, but it is certainly not a place to discuss national politics. Just like Zhao Ji's summoning of Wang Ju this time, it was in the convenience hall of Yanhe Palace.
Characters, "Emperor Teacher", there is one thing to note that the Song Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, and it was far more respectful of teachers than the Qing Dynasty.
But this time is different...... (To be continued......) R1292
