"You, you ......" Cheng Hao almost went crazy.

Wang Ju said to the guards outside the door: "Your Majesty is slightly ill and cannot receive these people for the time being, but some of these people are quite happy with gangsters, so they must not go out." If anyone violates the imperial edict, they will be sent to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, even the rich duke is no exception. ”

Several guards were stunned and did not dare to answer.

Wang Ju said again: "Do you still remember the fiasco of Vaxia and the fiasco of Yongle City? ”

Enough is enough.

It was these people who formed a party and made friends, found Wang Ju's handle, and forced Wang Ju away, which directly led to two fiascos, and 600,000 people were killed by Western Xia.

The greatest group of sacrifices is these soldiers.

Several guards said loudly, "Wow." ”

Fu Bi also came over at this time, and he said, "Wang Zi'an, what do you want to do?" ”

"Fu Gong, I repeat, Your Majesty is sick, it is not easy to receive you, you have been wronged for a few days, but if you are not imprisoned, there is a rich man, who dares to detain you? Thank you for your understanding. ”

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he rode back.

Liu and the others almost jumped to their feet, but Sima Guang calmed down and said, "Then we will be wronged for a few days." ”

"Sima Gong, why?" A squire from Luoyang asked.

"This is a post house, and the longer he detains us, the louder the protests become," Mr. Sima said.

The Song Dynasty Capital Post House had two functions, one was to accept foreign guests, but it was far less than the Sifang Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, or the Liao State sent envoys to visit two or three times a year, but only stayed for a few days and went back. As for the envoys of Western Xia, they may not come once in three or four years.

The original remainder. It is the messenger of Jiaozhi and Dali. That's less. Although the Song Dynasty prepared a post boat on the Dadu River, Dali may not send an envoy over in ten years. And Goryeo, which came even less.

However, the post house also has another function, that is, to receive foreign officials who are arranged to go to Beijing for posting, or if the officials who are transferred to other places pass through the capital, they will also stay in the post house, so these officials in the post house have always come and gone frequently, almost never interrupted.

But Sima Guang found out. At this time, there was not a single official in the post house, and there was no doubt that Wang Ju turned the post house into a big cell, but how long could this last?

As Sima Guang expected, Wang Ju's radical approach quickly caused an uproar.

Zhao Xuan was "sick" and couldn't take care of the government for the time being, Fan Chunren took a few ministers and directly broke into the Zhongshu and asked Wang Juzhi: "Taibao, why did you detain the rich princes?" ”

"Fan Youcheng. I know that you are related to Sima Guang and others (Fan Chunren's daughter is married to the youngest son of Sima Guang's eldest brother Sima Dan, and Fan Chunren is also related to Song Dao, one of the members of the Luoyang Elders' Association). But you can't abolish the public because of private interests, right? ”

"I'm not abolishing the public for personal reasons, let me ask, you really don't violate the court system by imprisoning the rich prince and other important ministers?"

"Fan Youcheng, what is detention, is there such a comfortable cell in the world, Don't say much, in a few days, I will give you, you, and the people of the world an explanation!"

"What explanation?"

"Fan Youcheng, I made it so clear, as long as you wait a few more days, or can you influence the edict of Zhongshu?"

It's okay for Fan Chunren to ask, but Wang Ju has the right not to answer.

Watching Fan Chunren leave, Zhang Qi shook his head and said, "This Fan Yaofu really doesn't know what to do." ”

Fan Chunren can take the position, which is nothing more than the four firsts that Wang Ju said, military talent Zhang Qi, financial management Xue Xiang, education Zhang Zai, and ethics Fan Chunren.

However, now among the important ministers, Fan Chunren took the lead in doing right with Wang Ju everywhere.

Wang Ju smiled.

Actually, Fan Chunren is fine.

There are three reasons why Wang Ju has always maintained a restrained attitude towards Fan Chunren.

The first Fan Chunren's style is incorruptible, and now the extravagant style of scholars is becoming more and more serious, and he needs an example, and in terms of style, Fan Chunren can undoubtedly set this example.

The second reason is that Wang Ju asked Zhao Ji for power, and Zhao Ji also promised to give Wang Ju rights, but don't take it seriously, in this way, he would not have deliberately met Zhao Ji before, and asked Zhao Ji to support. In a sense, there is an opposition leader in the imperial court, which is not necessarily harmful to Wang Ju. But this opposition must not make Sima playful, so Fan Chunren, who is not so scheming and less radical and dark, is the best candidate.

The third reason is even deeper.

I remember that when he looked at this period of history in his previous life, the most common statement was that there was a split because of different political means.

This statement is only half true.

It started like this.

The New Party believes that the country's ills are serious, just like a seriously ill patient who will quickly become terminally ill without the medicine of a tiger or wolf.

However, the old party thought it was inappropriate, and Sima Guang said that governing the world was like a living room, and if it was bad, it should be repaired, and it could not be changed unless it was a big evil. Fu Bi said that if a serious illness is cured, it is necessary to use porridge and medicine to make up. Wen Yanbo believes that quietness is the first priority.

It's hard to say which one is right and which one is wrong at the beginning.

From the point of view, Wang Anshi was right, the Song Dynasty had such a big deficit, even the great drought, the treasury could not allocate money and grain relief, but forcibly sent the victims back to the prefectures and counties, let them fend for themselves, and other ills were even more numerous.

By this point, the room had been so bad that it had to be replaced. As for the so-called cure for serious illness, where is the cure?

However, in order to make up for the deficit and generate a surplus in the state finances, Wang Anshi mainly focused on accumulating wealth rather than treating diseases, so many undesirable phenomena arose in the reform of the law. Ben came to the Yuanfeng period, the finances were not so tight, and as Fu Bi said, the serious illness was cured, and porridge and medicine were used to make up for it. That is to say, it can be slowly regulated to ease the intensified contradictions. But the northwest failed twice, and everything came to naught. In addition, some people deliberately mislead, so the people of Luoyang called Sima Guang the truth.

From the perspective of the old party, people like Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi have all experienced the failure of the Qingli New Deal, so their hearts are like Song Renzong, mainly fine-tuning. This idea can be understood, but it turns out that this road is also a path of chronic suicide, just like the deficit, which actually began to accumulate in Song Renzong's later years.

It's not that they don't know. Know. It's best to be good. If it becomes bad, it will be more troublesome, but the fact is that Wang Anshi's change has disappointed them, so the opposition is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition, from their personal point of view, because Song Renzong was not in good health in his later years, he almost really became a "rule of inaction", which led to the rapid profit of the top ministers in this situation. Don't talk about Song Yingzong's muddy ball.

Many of Wang Anshi's changes were aimed at this situation, such as the suppression of usury, the monopoly of the regimental bank, the control of prices in the capital by the relatives of the powerful, and the forcible apportionment of exempt money and seedling loans to the powerful and powerful.

However, at the beginning of the change, the means were not so tragic, that is, Wen Yanbo had selfish intentions at that time. But I still think about the country somewhat. With the introduction of new laws, the court has finally changed its taste. In order to suppress the opponent, do everything you can. For example, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Cheng Hao, Yang Hui...... As for the country, it has long been left behind.

Therefore, Wang Ju also longs for moderates to come to power one by one, whether it is the new party or the old party.

Such a brutal political struggle could not continue, including himself, despite the darker methods of his means.

Wang Ju returned home and called Han Yun to ask, "How is Cai Jing in Shaanzhou?" ”

An Tao fought against the water, regardless of the imperial court system, from Shaanzhou to Luoyang with the squire, and from Luoyang to the capital, but Shaanzhou government affairs can not be ignored, especially when Shaanxi is now short of food, and the imperial court is sending a large amount of grain and grass to Shaanxi.

So Wang Ju transferred Cai Jing to Shaanzhou as the new governor.

On the surface......

Han Yun replied: "This talent is unimaginable, in just one day, he made all the officials up and down in Shaanxi obey and obey, and Li Shilang's big movement, there is no rumor of the slightest rumor, how amazing is this method." ”

Wang Ju smiled bitterly, he asked Cai Jing to go to Shaanzhou, which was also his own move.

I really can't find a good candidate.

As for Cai Jing's talent, it is useless to question it.

Now he was only given a small chance, and he was immediately grasped by Cai Jing, I am afraid that after this battle, Cai Jing will really stand out.

Do you drink to quench your thirst?

Zhao Ji's illness was not a few days, but a whole dozen days, of course, Fu Bi and others were also under house arrest for more than ten days.

Liu Ji and the others were so angry that they almost vomited blood, but Sima Guang became a bamboo and said, "Liu Gong, don't worry, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to that little thief." ”

It seems so.

After dragging on for so many days, even Su Song, who was not so repulsive to Wang Ju, was annoyed, and came to the gate of the inner palace with a group of officials, banging on the palace gate and asking to see Zhao Ji.

As they wished, Zhao asked them to go in and meet them.

However, as soon as Su Song was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhao Ji waving his hand and said, "I know the situation outside, I know very well, let's pass on the prince to meet him." ”

Su Song and the others won't be able to say anything, let's see what Wang Ju says when he comes in, or what he has to say.

After a while, Wang Ju brought in.

However, the two of them said a few words that Su Song couldn't understand.

Wang Jujin said, "See Your Majesty, the outside has been prepared. ”

"That's good."

"Your Majesty, is the location in the Daqing Palace, or on the square outside the Xuande Gate?"

The Song Dynasty has two major palaces, the Chang Dynasty is the vertical arch hall, the Great Dynasty is the Daqing Palace, in addition to the major celebrations, or the reception of the envoys of the Liao State, is also in the Daqing Palace, and the Daqing Hall is also the largest palace in the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, so the Song Dynasty took it as a place for the palace test. Think about it, there are nearly a thousand lifts, one person and one table, and in order to prevent plagiarism, they have to be separated from each other by a distance, except for the Daqing Palace, which palace can accommodate it?

However, there is one thing, the actual court meeting rarely has a meeting.

There are too many people, think about how many Beijing officials there are, only lined up in two rows, east and west, how long the row has to be, talk in front, and you can't hear it at all in the back. Besides, what can the low-level Beijing officials standing in the back say?

Therefore, the most discussed is still the Chang Dynasty.

It was just a court meeting, if the emperor usually summoned the minister to ask about things, it used to be mostly in the vertical arch hall, or the hall next to the vertical arch hall, and occasionally in the Ying Pavilion and other places.

However, later the system changed again, and there were two Duo halls on the side of the original Daqing Palace, which were resting places for the emperor to hold ceremonies, but the two Duo halls were too wasteful, so one was changed to Yanhe Palace.

In the hands of Zhao Ji, he used it as a place to paging ministers to ask questions, and for privacy, a smaller hall was built on the Yanhe Palace.

Therefore, the largest place in the palace is in the Daqing Palace.

As for the square outside Xuande Gate, it is even larger.

But Su Song didn't know what he was talking about!

Zhao Ji pondered for a while and said: "It's about the dignity of the minister, and it's indecent to put it in Xuandemen." ”

"Then put it in the Daqing Palace."

Zhao Ji continued to groan.

"Your Majesty, once and for all, a hundred years later, future generations will be proud of Your Majesty's actions on this day, not to damage the reputation of the Daqing Palace, but to prove the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Then let's do it, Su Qing, you guys should disperse too."

What is it and what is it?

Su Song left the inner palace with Wang Ju in a daze, and pulled Wang Ju's sleeve when he came out: "What are you talking to Your Majesty about Daqing Palace?" ”

"Su Shilang, you are going to say bad things about me in front of the emperor, why should I tell you."

Wang Ju said it nakedly, and Su Song was dumbfounded.

But Wang Ju didn't look angry at all, he put his arm around Su Song's shoulders regardless of decency, and asked, "Su Shilang, let's not have a holiday." ”

Is this sentence something that a top minister can ask?

Su Song was made to cry and laugh by Wang Ju.

Wang Ju said with a straight face: "Su Shilang, let me ask you again, which one is better than the Bank Division and the Qingmiao Law?" ”

"The banking department is undoubtedly less ill."

"Fu Gong and others went to Beijing to oppose the banking department and the Qi business tax, and the direct inducement was that Wen Gong was demoted to Chizhou. But the situation was critical, and what if I didn't deal with it quickly, and the merchant fleet went south and didn't come back next year? The balance of the two phases can only be as follows. Am I overdoing it? ”

If you stand from this perspective, Wang Ju can't do too much.

But in the end, it's Wen Yanbo, alas!

"In fact, the matter of Duke Wen is really easy to do, mainly because now the maritime merchants are holding their breath, and when their anger subsides, if everyone really thinks that Duke Wen is wronged, they can be promoted again. It's like when I made a lot of contributions to the community in Gyeongju, but the final result. Then I went to Quanzhou, couldn't I hold my breath with the imperial court, and I still served the imperial court. The incident of Guan Jianwen Gong was just an inducement, mainly because of the business tax, which made some people unwilling, and the impact of the banking department on usury. ”

"The rich man is not that kind of person."

"I didn't say that Fu Gong was one of those people, but he was bewitched by many people, and you will soon know if this is the case. If it doesn't matter at other times, the key bank is about to open, and the silk exchange is about to be issued to the people, at this critical moment, if these people are allowed to make trouble, the people's vision is limited, and it is difficult to screen the overall situation, then there will inevitably be panic. What are the consequences if there is panic and distrust of silk sex? So I had to find a way to resolve it. However, these people are well-informed, and if they are allowed to go in and out of the inn, collude with each other, and contact the outside world, I will not be able to resolve it. So what will be the consequences? ”

Su Song suddenly had a wit: "You mean the emperor's illness ......"

"I can't divulge it, but some people outside smear me, saying that I am ruthless, butcher, rude, and narrow-minded. But if this is the case, just like Fan Youcheng, he has repeatedly embarrassed me, but how much will I get angry? Or like you, now you want to say bad things about me in front of the emperor, am I angry? Su Shilang, do you know what the difference is? (To be continued.) )
