Chapter 448: A Tooth for a Tooth
Wang Ju seemed to be very angry, and even Zeng Zhang and the two couldn't hold it, but the surrounding ministers surrounded them together, whether they supported Wang Ju or Chen Xiang, and they started to pull together.
It was not easy to let go of Wang Ju's hand.
This time, even the important ministers who were walking in front turned around and walked over, and Feng Jing shouted: "Wang Zi'an, what are you going to do?" ”
"Feng Jing, do you want to deal with me too?" Wang Ju rolled up his sleeves and said.
Feng Jing's official position is much higher than Wang Ju, and he is Fu Bi's son-in-law, with a hard background, and the imperial examination is even three yuan in Zhongda, and his talent is amazing. However, Wang Ju was dumbfounded when he swiped his big arm.
Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhao Ji went down to the palace first, and when he came to the palace, he heard the eunuch's report, and hurriedly returned to the palace.
That's not a small matter.
He looked at the many ministers, looked at the two protagonists with angry faces, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, Wang Ju stumbled over me, and he wanted to beat me again, and then slandered me, and scolded me for being an old thing, please make the decision for the old minister." Chen Xiang cried loudly.
"Wang Ju!"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to this hypocrite. Just now, when the ministers in front of him left the palace, this hypocrite suddenly came over and stepped on Weichen's feet fiercely. ”
"You're talking nonsense."
"Chen Xiang, don't try to be cunning. There is no nonsense. Please see. Wang Ju stretched out his legs. At this time, the weather was gradually getting hot, everyone was wearing cloth shoes, the concubine was about to give birth, she didn't dare to move around, and she was bored to stay at home, so she made some female celebrities for Wang Ju, including a few pairs of new cloth shoes.
The shoes are new and the upper is clean. But now there is half a shoe print on the upper of Wang Ju's left foot, of course, after pulling for a while, the shoe print is not very clear, but it can be seen. Wang Ju took off his cloth shoes and socks again, and his feet were also a little red.
"Someone else stepped on it...... No, he stepped on it himself. Chen Xiang suddenly came to his senses.
Let him guess correctly.
But where is the evidence?
"Chen Xiang, you don't want to be cunning, you are a hypocrite, I am a real villain. People like you can only deal with real gentlemen, but don't want to deal with a villain like me. ”
Everyone couldn't help frowning again. Anyway, after Wang Ju's trouble. For a long time, the words gentleman and villain disappeared in the court.
Wang Ju said as he put on socks and cloth shoes, and pointed behind him: "Your Majesty, just now the minister was about to disperse the dynasty, and was waiting for the important ministers in front to leave, Chen Xiang walked over, snorted coldly at the minister, showed off his might, and then stepped on the minister's feet, and before the minister could react, he lay down forward, and the minister reacted, it turned out that this hypocrite wanted to carry the stolen minister." ”
Maybe Wang Ju is telling the truth.
Chen Xiang impeached Wang Ju in the court, but Zhang Zai proved that Wang Ju had merit, so he might not be able to do anything to Wang Ju.
However, if the stolen goods are successful, this is a big court meeting, then Wang Ju will inevitably go one, two, three times, and it will be degraded very badly.
But Chen Xiang didn't expect Wang Ju's reaction speed and fierce personality to become like this.
However, it may be as Chen Xiang said, Chen Xiang left first, everyone is scattering the dynasty, Wang Ju is also preparing to disperse the dynasty, the court hall is very large, although Wang Ju did not leave the palace, but he walked out of the train and approached the middle line, just Chen Xiang came over. Just like that, Chen Xiang was unhappy in his heart, he didn't give Wang Ju a good face, Wang Ju had an idea, and first tripped Chen Xiang, after all, Wang Ju is a person who practices martial arts, where could Chen Xiang think of it. So Chen Xiang stumbled all of a sudden, and then the king thief shouted to catch the thief.
Exactly how, who pays attention to the feet, only the two of them know in their hearts.
Chen Xiang was not stupid, and immediately shouted: "You sinister villain. ”
Wang Juhaha sneered: "It's really a world that reverses black and white, Chen Xiang, don't think that you are a minister, you can do nonsense, from today on, I will send someone to investigate all your actions, see if you are a gentleman, or a hypocrite, and then write your life into words, print 100,000 copies, and distribute it all over the world!" ”
After saying this, half of the officials were in pain.
As an official in the Song Dynasty, introverted is the theme, Yue Fei's is not counted, under normal circumstances, like Wang Shao, he has reached the peak of martial arts. Zhao Pu is not counted in terms of cultural governance, so people like Li Xin, Wang Dan, and Lu Yijian have also reached their peak.
But they all achieved political achievements only when the storm was coming.
For example, Li Xin, that was Song Zhenzong's most energetic years. For example, Wang Dan, who was the mainstay of the court when Song Zhenzong worshiped the great gods. For example, Lu Yijian, it was the Qingli War, the country was embarrassed, and only then did he have a chance to achieve achievements.
However, ordinary officials, if they want to take the position, there are only two, the first hand is stretched out a little shorter, there is no great evil, and it is not evil to the people, that is a good official.
Second, you have to praise each other and win a good reputation, isn't this a gang? Yes, it is to form a gang, otherwise how to tout, if you want to be a lonely minister, please look at Zhang Kang's fate.
Therefore, normal officials are in power, and Chen Xiang is a typical example.
The article is well written, especially in Confucianism, there is no great evil when he is an official, there is a squire blowing below, and a friend pulls above, so he is a famous minister.
But who doesn't make mistakes, Wang Ju investigates Chen Xiang's life, will he investigate Chen Xiang's good side? This investigation will inevitably find out some of Chen Xiang's mistakes, and then magnify them one by one, the worst thing is that Wang Ju seems to have the financial resources to investigate and print the book, although it will cost Wang Ju a lot of money, but Chen Xiang will definitely be finished for the rest of his life.
Then to Wang Ju's right, Wang Ju did not have this right, but the policy of the Song Dynasty was to welcome mutual supervision, that is, to stir up different opinions, although Wang Ju made mistakes, but it was also within the rules.
Wang Ju did this, so thousands of people hated him, and tens of thousands of people scolded him, but what about Chen Xiang?
Sima Guang frowned and said, "Wang Ju, you are too arrogant. ”
"Learn from you." Wang Ju replied disdainfully.
Regarding the rights and wrongs of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, there have been controversies for thousands of years.
The first is the controversy over the improper change of the law.
The second is the moral controversy between the two.
But the facts made Wang Ju even more disgusted with Sima Guang, the best example. It is Wang Anshi's three deficiencies. The mandate of heaven is not enough to fear, the words of the people are not enough to follow, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to use.
Did Wang Anshi say it? Wang Ju didn't hear it. But he heard one thing, this spring, before Wang Anshi was poured, Zhao Ji summoned Wang Anshi to the inner palace and asked, did he hear that there were three deficiencies?
Wang Anshi said, don't hear it, what are the three insufficiencies.
Zhao Ji said, Chen recommended outsiders. Today, the court said that the sky is not enough to fear, people are not enough to be compassionate, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to be observed. Yesterday, the academy entered the official position policy, specifically referring to these three things, what is the reason? How can the imperial court have this?
Wang Anshi said nervously, how did this come out?
This also shows that Wang Anshi did not say this at all, but Wang Ju wronged Wang Anshi before, thinking that Wang Anshi was stupid.
At the same time, it also shows that Zhao Ji does not have this intention at all, but just changes the law and reforms. It's like the reform of the two ancestors, otherwise would it be the merits of the Taizu?
Then Zhao said. Don't ask questions.
Subsequent investigation, the allusion came from two people, the first person was written by Sima Guang, and there was this passage in the original text: The commentator of today may say: Heaven and earth are not related to man, thin food, shock, all have constants, not to be afraid. The law of the ancestors may not be perfect, but it can be reformed, and it is not enough to follow. The love of mediocrity, like to follow and worry about, can be with happiness, difficult and worrying. Divergent discussions are not enough to hear.
The second person is Su Dongpo, who has a section in the imperial test strategy of the proposed Jinshi, and the method of its implementation is unknown with its own time. Those who know what they can know will fear the sky, they will obey the crowd, and they will follow the ancestors. Therefore, his words said: The precept of the precept, the sky only shows thought, and life is not easy! …… Judge the crowd, sacrifice yourself and obey others. …… Pi Xianzai, Wen Wang Mo; Pi Chengzai, Wu Wang Lie. As the book of poetry says, it is roughly so. I haven't said that the destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, the words are not enough to follow, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to use. …… Whoever wants to use it against the crowd will use it as an excuse.
Then everyone used these three deficiencies as an excuse to attack Wang Anshi.
So why even the history books of later generations think that Wang Anshi said it, it is precisely because of Sima Guang.
He has a good name, and the articles he usually writes are deliberately circulated in the market for literati to copy and spread, including his three deficiencies "A Question of Li Qingchen and Other Strategies for the Academy", as well as the three letters he wrote to Wang Anshi.
The lie is told a hundred times, then it naturally becomes the truth!
So in history, in the eighth year of Yuanyou, Wang Anshi died, and the truth was impossible to inquire, Fan Zuyu and others took this imaginary three deficiencies as the truth, and used them to attack Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, and when the Southern Song Dynasty, because of these three deficiencies, Wang Anshi was deposed from the Confucius Temple.
That is, if Wang Juruo really did this, it was also Sima Guang's head.
Sima Guang was speechless, then turned his head to look at Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty, you see, the old minister said a long time ago that this son is a harm to the country. ”
"Enough!" Zhao Ji interrupted him and said: "You are all the pillars of the country, what kind of system is this, let's disperse." ”
Chen Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged." ”
"Scatter!" Zhao Ji shouted again.
Everyone had to disperse.
However, many people kept looking at Wang Ju and Chen Xiang. Of course, it may not be that everyone believes in Wang Ju, but there are more people who believe in Chen Xiang, after all, this person used to be famous, on the contrary, Wang Ju has been an official for several years, conspiring and conspiring, endlessly, ruthless and decisive, and scheming. But now Chen Xiang can't say clearly. And some people feel even more cold in their hearts, this trouble, no matter how the final result is handled, Chen Xiang can't stay in the capital.
However, there are also ministers who support Wang Ju, no matter what, Wang Ju has always been silent in the change of the law, if Chen Xiang just impeached the facts, it would be fine, Guan Jian Chen Xiang is completely slanderous.
Because Wang Ju didn't want to support Wang Anshi's change of law, he retired from the Regulation Department to the Ordnance Supervisor, and because he didn't support the change, he didn't get a separate call from the emperor in the past few months.
Some people feel cold, this is really a villain, if he is regarded as an enemy, it may really be Wang Ju's lifelong enemy. However, is this still officialdom? The so-called officialdom is not an enemy, if you are needed today, then you are a friend, and tomorrow you will not be needed, then you are a passerby, and the day after tomorrow you will be needed, and you will be betrayed and regarded as an enemy. This is officialdom, there is a black and white officialdom, and officialdom is not played like this by Wang Ju......
When the minister retreats from the court, he does not go home, but to continue to work in various ministries and departments.
Before parting ways, Zhang Zai blocked Wang Ju and whispered: "Wang Ju, you have done too much. ”
Think about it, if the head of the city above has just finished speaking and has not left yet, and the mayor of city A suddenly PK with the secretary of the municipal party committee of city B, and there are reporters taking pictures on the side, no matter who is right and who is wrong, I think these two leaders will also come to an end in the officialdom.
And knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi, it is difficult for others to say who is right and who is wrong, but Zhang Zai knows that it must be his own student who has made a trick.
"Teacher, if I don't do this, what will happen to me? We argued at the court meeting, but there are two skins in the mouth, if I can say this, if I can say that, others will inevitably say that I am arrogant, at least I have lost the court. And then what is the result? ”
"Degraded officials, and may be able to be demoted to a magistrate, or even a magistrate of Lingnan. It doesn't matter, I'm young anyway, but if I go on like this, there are still people up there...... They are working hard in the capital, and when the time comes, I will not do anything or do nothing, and I will be picky when I do things, will I resign and go home? ”
Wang Ju didn't say that person, but there were two people in the court who were quite scheming, one was Wen Yanbo, but at the moment, although Wen Yanbo was disgusted with Wang Ju, he would not hate him to this extent. However, there is another person, and that is Sima Guang.
You must know that so many people have gone down in the past few years, and some of them still have a future, but after suppression, they disappeared completely, and they can't even find specific deeds in the annals of history.
In this way, Zhang Zai will understand, Wang Ju's troubles will inevitably go down, but the nature of going down and going down is completely different.
This is to fight Chen Xiang down, and at the same time, it also makes many people feel jealous, so even if it is degraded to Lingnan, there are not many officials who dare to do anything to Wang Ju.
Wang Ju, this is the real tooth for tooth, seven wounds!
Zhang Zai said: "Why bother. ”
It's not worth it, Chen Xiang is like a student like himself.
"It's okay, I actually want to leave the capital too."
"How did the court become like this?"
"Teacher, you're wrong, this is just the beginning of a jar of side dishes," Wang Ju said. In fact, it is not just the beginning, it has really begun, and there is a bolder and more shameless thing that has happened...... (To be continued......)
