Chapter 767(1/2)
"Where is it?" Su Song asked curiously.
"If I was not wrong, Your Majesty will allow you to speak, but it is nothing more than impeaching me and not letting the rich man and others down."
“That’s right.”
"The difference is here. However, when I was in Gyeongju, I was defeated because some people were tired of war, so I tried to attack me. What do you think? This time, the banking department is liberal and the people are willing to smear me and destroy the banking department because of suppressing usury. What do you think? Do you understand what the difference is? I am not narrow-minded and do not accept criticism from others. But I cannot tolerate attacks and smears with ulterior motives and confusing black and white."
"I have only been in the capital for three years. No, it has been more than two months. If it goes well, or even shorter, I will leave the capital and go to Shaanxi. You know what I do in Shaanxi. But why can't it be possible now? First, the three armies are newly defeated, and morale is depressed, and they must wait for morale to recover. Second, there are two defeats, and the country is in a difficult situation. Although the treasury finance can still be supported, the people below are indeed in a difficult situation, especially from the capital and all the way to Chang'an."
There were so many young men in Shaanxi who died suddenly, and farming production was undoubtedly severely affected.
But so many people and so many soldiers had to eat and wear. In fact, without Wang Ju's order, the court had to dispatch a large amount of food, grass and cloth to Shaanxi.
Okay, we have been going west from the capital, so the people are busy.
Not to mention exemption from service, how much money can the court pay for?
This is because Wang Ju has some auxiliary skills. If it were replaced by another time and space, the people in this area would be even more embarrassed.
Coupled with the deliberate slander, there are indeed many disadvantages in the reform. Because the disastrous defeat was finally corrected, Gao Taotao made Sima Guang the prime minister and all the people cheered the real prime minister.
Of course, if Sima Guang is a little more focused and keeps some of the good things in Xining's reforms, the disadvantages can be corrected. That's fine.
but……
So in the face of this situation, domestic recovery is equally important.
"Actually, the time is really short, but even if the banking department succeeds, it is not enough. If a country wants to become better, it depends not only on Your Majesty, but also on me, but also on everyone's efforts, so that the country can quickly become better. Mr. Su, this time will not be too long. Can you see it quickly. Are you willing to work with me?"
Su Song said vaguely: "Who doesn't want the country to become richer?"
"That's good," Wang Ju let go of his hand and walked towards Zhongshu.
But his smile immediately became serious. In fact, this scientist was also not clear about Lu Gong and Wen Yanbo, but as long as it was not too much, he didn't seek to fight for it, and just wanted to continue like this, Wang Ju was satisfied.
On the other side, Su Song was still puzzled.
Wang Ju only explained the reason for house arrest, but what does it have to do with this Daqing Palace?
The truth came out soon.
The next day was not the day of the court meeting, but when all the officials went to the department offices on duty, the small yellow gates came to the department offices to convey Zhao Xu's edict and asked all the officials of the department office to go to Daqing Hall together.
There are no normal large dynasty meetings, such as some dispersed officials who do not take the wrong path, and some officials who ask for leave have not come either.
However, there were also many people, with a total of five or six hundred civil and military officials.
But this time the station shift is a bit strange. There is one train in the east and west of the normal station shift. This time it is still divided into east and west station shifts, but not one row, but five rows. That is, five hundred civil and military officials are divided into two rectangles, each with five people wide and more than fifty people long.
And the eunuch took them with him to make them stand as tight as possible.
Fortunately, time has entered August. If there were so many people on this last month, it would make people faint.
So everyone covered their heads together.
Lao Wang asked Wang Ju in confusion: "What does Your Majesty want to do?"
Wang Juchong whined in the middle: "When you are in such a temporary stand, everyone can basically hear the middleman talking."
Now they are all crowded together, at least the ministers around Dongban Wang Ju heard Wang Ju's words. Some of them were surprised in everyone's eyes.
It turns out that this is all prepared early... Don’t think that standing in this way is very simple. Everyone is particular about who is in front and who is behind, and who is outside and who is inside.
Someone suddenly remembered the big debate between Lu Huiqing and Sima Guang, but compared with that time, the scale of this discussion was countless times larger!
Someone was talking in a low voice.
Zhao Xu also walked out, and the ministers said respectfully, "Go to Your Majesty." Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Bring the rich man and the others in."
After a while, Xiaohuang Gate General Fu Bi and others brought them to the Daqing Hall, including the gentry, and of course, the servants who came with them continued to stay in the inn.
Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, the rich man is sick, so he can send someone to find a soft bed."
That is, soft lounge chair.
If it weren't for the ten days of house arrest, Fu Bi might have appreciated it, but now, Fu Bi is timid and brave: "Wang Ju, don't be hypocritical."
After drinking, he suddenly fell in front of Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I'm wronged."
"Fuqing, get up and talk," Zhao Xu said, and whispered to the eunuch beside him. Fu Bi was angry, but today the parliament lasted for a long time. Old man, can you bear it? Therefore, let the eunuch go to the palace to find a soft bed.
Fu Bi stood up and said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, the old minister has entered the capital. However, as soon as he arrived at the inn, Wang Ju ordered the officers and soldiers to imprison the old ministers and others in the inn."
Cheng Hao also said loudly: "Your Majesty, this son is arrogant and bold, which has never happened in the past. As a minister, he had an affair with the eldest princess, and he deceived His Majesty for more than ten years. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, he was only re-activated. However, this shocking thing happened again in just over two months."
Zhao Xu said: "Stop, stop, you guys say one by one. Fuqing, I ask you, have someone insulted and beat you up these days?"
"There is no such thing, but Wang Ju personally came to the inn to intimidate us."
"I'm not asking this. I'm asking if you have any food and clothing or other similar abuses in the inn these days."
"No, but he didn't let us leave the inn."
"If it's just this one, then you can't blame Wang Ju, it's my edict."
"Your Majesty...ah, you can't cover up this kid." Liu Ji was anxious.
"Liu Qing, I ask you to say one by one that it was indeed my edict. As for the reason, you will know later. Let's choose one person and tell us your purpose in Beijing."
At this time, the eunuch brought the soft-hued bed from the Duo Hall next to him.
Wang Ju walked out of the train and reached out to put it in front of him.
Don't want it, then put it here.
However, Fu Bi's eyes were blurred and confused at this time. The emperor issued an edict to put him and others in house arrest. What does this mean? Therefore, he didn't care about Wang Ju's disgusting action.
Sima Guang glanced at Fu Bi. Fu Bi was really not good, so I'd better come. He walked out and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you."
Zhao Xu frowned in disgust.
In fact, although Zhao Xu did not like Sima Guang in history, he always regarded Sima Guang as an important pawn.
However, because Wang Ju repeatedly brainwashed, Sima Guang was even more miserable in the Song Dynasty in this time and space. Sima Guang didn't know about this, but don't doubt it. Sima Guang not only hated the reform to the extreme, but also hated Wang Ju.
Sima Guang took out a note from his sleeve and began to impeach Wang Ju.
The first major crime was to put Fu Bi and others under house arrest.
However, Zhao Xu protected Wang Ju and said that it was his edict, so Sima Guang had to change it on the spot. It was not the crime of house arrest, but in the evening of the first day, Wang Ju personally rode a horse to the inn to intimidate and threaten Fu Bi and others. No matter what, Fu Bi is also a respected senior.
Of course, because of Zhao Xu's favor, this pounding was not fierce enough.
However, some ministers still approve it.
Why, although 80% of the ministers now believe that the court really needs Wang Ju. But in the minds of some old guys, there is still some imbalance. After all, Wang Juxu was only 36 years old.
However, in the Song Dynasty, there was still a large market for seniority.
And whether it was an imperial edict from the emperor or not, it was wrong for Wang Ju to put these important officials under house arrest for so many days.
The second crime is disgusting.
The ancestors' laws talk about Qi people. Wang Ju also talks about Qi people, but are the two Qi people the same? The ancestors' Qi people shouted slogans to ease the conflict, but when they arrived at Wang Ju, they became the real ministers, the literati and the military servants, the parents and the sons, and the emperor and the common people. There is no distinction between high and low, if Wang Ju continues to implement this, will the country be or the country?
Don’t think that Sima Guang was attacking Wang Ju. In fact, this crime is mostly based on his inner thoughts.
In his heart, he attached great importance to the status and status, so "Zizhi Tongjian" began to be cultivated from the division of Jin by Wei, Zhao and Han.
At the same time, he also shouted that the peddlers and pawns could not wear mats, which made future generations feel extremely absurd.
Therefore, from the perspective of future generations, fair evaluation of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi is ok. Party struggles arise from their hands. Wang Anshi is very stubborn and has many bad sides in reform. However, in terms of mind, Wang Anshi is absolutely noble and has good intentions. Even if the reform is not good, it can only be said that Wang Anshi has done the wrong thing with kindness.
But Sima Guang is almost useless except for "Zizhi Tongjian". Of course, it is possible that Li Gang and his son will like it very much.
He thought so, but wouldn’t it even more disgusting to add the scholars and officials to the military, the parents and sons to the emperor and the common people? But he really made him say that Wang Ju wanted to promote this thorough Qi people, but it never revealed it in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, many ministers were thinking in their hearts, is Wang Ju really such a Qi person?
Including Lao Wang, he also felt that Wang Ju thought about the tax equality at most, but even the tax equality, he did not dare to implement it. He only implemented the tax equality. And he repeatedly said that it was not absolutely equality, but theoretically equality, that is, the upper-level powerful merchants pay a little tax to bring more vitality to the lower-level people and the national finances.
However, some ministers were misled by Sima Guang. If they really go on like this, will the literati and the military servants really appear to be in harmony?
The third crime comes again.
The defeat in Yongle City was the fault of the imperial court to dismiss the military. What did it have to do with Wen Yanbo? He inexplicably demoted important officials of the three dynasties to Hangzhou. Just because of a small merchant, Wen Yanbo was demoted to Chizhou again.
Isn’t Wen Yanbo important?
There were many merchants standing behind Sima Guang, but even in the Song Dynasty, merchants were the original sin. Sima Guang said in front of them that these people were not much repulsive, and in their hearts, compared with Wen Yanbo, they were indeed not a single one.
In fact, there were two reasons for the court to demote Wen Yanbo to Hangzhou. The first was that Wen Yanbo might be the behind-the-scenes commander of the assassination case, and the second was his omnipresent investigation. Learning about the triumphs between Wang Ju and Zhao Niannu forced Wang Ju to go abroad, resulting in two unprecedented defeats.
However, Sima Guang pretended not to know and deliberately took it out of context. He used this impeachment to protect Wang Ju from the sea merchants.
Article 4 is here again.
Wen Yanbo was just a misjudgment, and the important officials were immediately demoted. Well, the law must be fair. So let’s ask the maritime merchants beat Zhou Xun, tied some powerful men and slaves who were looking for troops to extort on a big tree. They intimidated the prime minister Sun Gu, and kidnapped the Li family Erlang and several of their subordinates onto the ship and lynched the confession. Why did the court ignore it?
Article 5: Since ancient times, moral education has been used to educate people as a way to govern the country. However, the court advised the people to try to seek profit. Morality did not exist, and the people in the world were bustling with profit. How to govern it in the future?
If not put here, this sentence is quite visionary.
Just like Wang Ju's previous life, the second elder reformed, but the people could not let go of their minds and the officials below could not understand it. Therefore, it was proposed that no matter whether it was a white cat, a black cat, just catch a mouse, it would be a good cat, and use this active and lifeless environment.
To be continued...
