Chapter 496 Someone took chestnuts from the fire
The incident happened suddenly, so he couldn't get angry at Wang Anshi. Even if he messed up the plan and disrupted the new year, Zhao Xi had to endure it.
After all, for Zhao Xi, Wang Anshi cannot be separated at this time.
Zhao Xi knew that he had gained a certain level of prestige, but he had not yet reached the point where he could stick to his word in the court... After all, the system of the dynasty determined that it was difficult for a king to stick to his word.
The key is that Zhao Xi does not want the court to become a one-word conversation, even though he feels that he cannot be stupid and does not want to become a one-word conversation.
People change and change with the environment. When you are surrounded by flattery and compliments, you will unconsciously become pretentious.
What's more, he is still a king and has an innate advantage.
Not even Sima Guang or Zhao Xi thought of kicking him out of the court, not to mention Wang Anshi who was determined to make progress.
It's just that he is so reckless... This seems inappropriate. He is indeed a bit reckless.
Therefore, Zhao Xi did not stop the chaos at the court meeting and adopted a negative attitude.
He also needs to see the thoughts of his ministers and workers from this chaos, and he also needs to figure out how to roll out his plan under such circumstances.
Zhao Xi moved his body to make himself more comfortable...
What was supposed to be a peaceful court meeting had turned into a quarrel.
The sound amplification effect of the caisson is very good, so good that Zhao Xi regrets the design. Even the arguments of ministers and servants who are far away from the throne can still be heard... it is too chaotic.
Wang Anshi's generals, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Lu Jiawen, Cai Que, etc. started fighting in different areas one by one.
The opposing party then attacked in groups.
This time, even if Zhao Xi was tired of the noise, he would not show any attitude and waited until nearly noon before saying hello and retreating...
Regardless of whether the courtiers heard it or not, Zhao Xi left.
Next, as expected, the memorial should begin.
It was impossible for Wang Anshi to stop those ministers who opposed the Market Change Law from submitting memorials, and no one else could stop those who supported the Market Change Law.
Zhao Xi has such an attitude that even neutral parties can't help but want to brush up on his presence.
So, in the days approaching the New Year, baskets of memorials were sent to the inner hall.
Zhao Xi felt that he had been negligent and should have made some demands when they quarreled. For example, he asked them to clearly indicate whether they opposed or supported the memorial on the cover, so that he would not have to distinguish it now.
Zhao Xi wanted to know the position of these ministers and workers, and he could only understand it from the memorials.
From the memorials, we can also see how well the ministers and ministers understood the barter affairs of the country and what their stance was, whether they were grandstanding and talking, or whether they were arguing with reason and reason. These can all be seen from the memorials.
Anyway, it is approaching the New Year, and there are not many government affairs in the court. Even if there is, the ministers will suppress it and deal with it after the first day... This is the habit.
Well, reading these memorials can also pass the time.
As for seeing a neutral solution from the ministers' memorials, Zhao Xi had no illusions.
"I have been to the frontier for a long time and heard about the Xixia war in Qingtang. Although the battle has been fruitless for a long time, the meaning is clear."
"South of Wuwei, two thousand miles away, there have been county guards since the Han Dynasty, and they are adjacent to Qin and Wei. Because the new army of the country was strong, the Western thieves were unable to disturb the border, so they turned to attack Siluo..."
Among the piles of memorials about the market change law, Zhao Xi actually saw a memorial that should not belong to this time.
Wang Shao, Wang Zichun, and Jiayou passed in the second year, and that year again.
This is a smart man.
He must also know that if he usually petitions the imperial court to open the Bianxi River, he must have the support of the minister of the political affairs hall, so that his memorial can reach the king.
This Wang Shao probably has little hope that the princes will support the opening of the border without reporting, or it may be that he had discussed it with others and was refuted.
That's why I came up with this trick.
At this time, because the ministers of the Zhengshitang had different opinions on the Market Change Law, it was naturally impossible for the memorials on the Market Change Law to be left in the Zhengshitang Hall. At this time, except for the Market Change Law, there were no memorials from ministers and ministers on this New Year's Day.
There may be other important matters.
There is a possibility that the princes will not read the specific contents of the memorial and directly submit it.
How could he be sure that he would see it?
It seems that Wang Shao is still a person who likes to take risks and find new ways.
However, after Zhao Xi saw Wang Shao's "Ping Rong Ce", all his hard work during this period of time was finally rewarded.
At this time, Zhao Xi had two ways to deal with Wang Shao's "Ping Rong Ce".
First, taking advantage of the current chaos, he sent "Ping Rong Ce" to the report... This is a statement. In a sense, it means that he is optimistic about Wang Shao's strategic plan of "Ping Rong Ce".
Of course, there is another possibility of doing this, that is, it can alleviate Wang Anshi's anxiety, disperse the attack power of those conservatives, and have one more attack point.
Judging from the entire petition, most of them are opposed to the Market Change Law. The basis of their opposition is mostly focused on competing for profits with the people. To put it bluntly, the ministers and workers have interests in those big monopolistic merchants and tooth shops.
There are also some people who reprimand Wang Anshi for his troubles...~These people, once the "Pingrong Policy" is published, will most likely turn their attack point on Wang Shao.
After all, it is easier to refute a low-level official of fifth or sixth rank than to attack a husband-in-law.
Another way is to postpone and wait until after the holiday to deal with "Pingrong Policy".
The result of this may make Wang Shao himself feel discouraged, or consider the possibility that the memorial has not been seen.
Also, all the artillery fire a year ago was focused on Wang Anshi.
It is also possible that the discovery of the "Pingrong Policy" later in the year will cause some conservative-minded ministers to switch directly to the "Pingrong Policy" from the cooling of the Yi Law, causing Wang Shao to receive too much criticism.
From a lazy point of view, Zhao Xi did not want to be troubled during the New Year's Eve, but considering that it was rare to see a minister with strategic thinking like Wang Shao, Zhao Xi did not want to upset his heart.
"Everyone, let's take a look..."
When there was a meeting held years ago, even the ministers thought it would be about the market transaction law.
I thought that the officials would arbitrarily end the market transaction law... After all, if the market transaction law is retained, no one will be happy during the entire New Year.
Unexpectedly, there is another memorial looking for trouble...
"The river and Huang are bitterly cold, and there are no people living for thousands of miles. The Tibetan people are scattered and causing chaos. The imperial court's acquisition of this land will only increase the cost, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Sima Guang, as always, showed that he didn't like to make trouble. He was probably quite dissatisfied with Wang Shao's behavior of taking advantage of this chaos to petition.
It seems that all of you have the same intention... Actually, no one feels ashamed that Wang Shao's memorial came into his own hands.
It seems that they are doing the right thing by not reading the memorial, and that is their normal working status.
"Your Majesty, there were county guards in Hehuang when it was in the Han Dynasty. It cannot be arbitrary just because there is no one inhabited for thousands of miles."
"In the early days of the previous dynasty, there were many battles with Tubo in Hehuang, which is enough to show that Hehuang is not a barren land."
Whether Wang Anshi wanted to cause trouble or distract the attack was unclear, but with his argument, Zhao Xi could have "Ping Rong Ce" published.
