After bidding farewell to Chen Sheng, Wang Anshi rode his donkey back to Dinglin Temple in Zhongshan.
Dinglin Temple is a famous temple in the Southern Dynasties. When Emperor Wu of Liang established Buddhism, it became a holy place for Buddhism. It is also a holy place for scholars. Liu Xie wrote "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons" here.
After Wang Anshi retired, he had a study in Dinglin Temple called Zhaowenzhai. This was originally a monk's room and was converted into a study.
Zhaowenzhai sounds like a bachelor of Zhaowenguan, as if he is the prime minister of the mountains.
In fact, Wang Anshi wrote a poem himself in response to this idea.
I am a guest from the mountains, why do I have this name?
When the harp fails to play the drum, people will not see any loss or success.
This poem is taken from the meaning of Zhaowen's drum and harp.
It is said that it was a qin master named Zhao Wen. There is a saying in Zhuangzi that there are successes and failures, so the Zhao family plays the drum and qin; there is no success and failure, so the Zhao family does not play the guqin.
Although Zhao Wen said that his piano skills are superb, as long as you play the piano, there will be successes and failures. If you want to really use it, you just don't play the piano.
This poem shows that although Wang Anshi lived in seclusion in Zhongshan, he never let go of the gains and losses of the reform, and would ruminate on them from time to time.
Although Wang Anshi wanted to live his life in seclusion in peace and quiet, he did not really go so far as to live in peace and quiet.
Wang Anshi entered the study and saw a broken piece of chess on the chessboard, which was left after he played with the elders in the temple the day before yesterday. Wang Anshi left because of something, and the chess game is still here.
There is also a poem written by Wang Anshi hanging in the study.
The title of the poem is Dingli Temple.
The trees are overlapping each other, and the lonely spring is still and divided horizontally.
Mr. Chu has a branch of bamboo, and he is proud of the crowd here.
There are few beautiful vegetables in the city, but I feel sleepy now.
And with the northeast wind, the clouds on the top of the mountain are sent.
Wang Anshi took off his scarf, sat on a chair and looked at the incomplete game in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, the affairs of the world are really like this incomplete game.
Chen Shengzhi's words just now touched Wang Anshi. Of course he had objections to Zhang Yue's changes in the draft law. Xining carried out various reforms at that time, but the one that Wang Anshi was most proud of was the draft law.
Although there is indeed something unsatisfactory about the recruitment law, the affairs of the world are like Zhaowen's drum and harp. Unless drums are played, there will be successes and losses.
When Wang Anshi ruled the world, peerless piano masters like Zhao Wen regarded their own piano skills and believed that their own reforms were perfect.
Wang Anshi kept this matter in his mind. He said that he would not mention the government affairs at all after he retired to seclusion, but it was not that he really didn't care, he also paid close attention to the pros and cons of military service.
At this moment, he remembered Chen Shengzhi's words. Among the four phases of Yangzhou Hairpin Flower, except Han Qi, who had passed away, he and Chen Shengzhi had left the field, and only Wang Gui was still in phase. Both Wang Gui and Han Jiang were Wang Anshi's.
In the same year, Wang Anshi was awarded Jinshi in the second year of Qingli. Thirty-nine people were ranked first, and only five were not ranked public ministers. It can be said that there are many talents.
Although Wang Gui maintained political neutrality, he worked hard on etiquette, such as Puyi and suburban sacrificial companionship. He also initiated the conquest of Xihe. Wang Gui supported Wang Anshi and Wu from the beginning to the end.
Fully charged.
Wang Anshi knew that although Wang Gui didn't say it on the surface, he had conflicts with Han Jiang and Wu Chong. As for when he was in power, Wang Gui didn't care about him, but Wang Gui never revealed it.
Thinking of this, Wang Anshi immediately wrote to Wang Gui.
Wang Anshi is called the Ao Xianggong for no reason. He refuses to compromise at all. The more others attack him from all aspects, the more he insists on his own ideas. Even if his relatives disown him and everyone betrays them, he still wants to carry out his ideas.
People with this level of strength can accomplish great things.
Wang Anshi was certain that Han Jiang and Zhang Yue's changes to the law of service were not in line with his wishes, and Han and Zhang would never be limited to changing the law of service in the future.
So Wang Anshi immediately wrote a letter to Wang Gui.
Wang Anshi writes very fast, and his calligraphy is characterized by hurriedness. Each word is written like the wind and rain, as if he is working in a hurry.
However, if you look closely, you can see that his artistic conception and his character are contained in it.
…
Wang Gui was still in charge of the large court meeting.
In the three years since Wang Gui became prime minister, he has done nothing, and the officials below him also looked down upon him, jokingly calling him the "Sir of Three Edicts".
What are the three purposes?
When Wang Gui went to court, he just said: "Get the imperial edict."
After the emperor expressed his position, he did not ask if he did, but replied respectfully, "Accept the imperial edict."
After he retired from the court, when he saw his officials, he said: "I have received the imperial decree."
"Get the imperial edict." "Receive the imperial edict." "Have obtained the imperial edict."
Wang Gui collectively called the three edicts mutually public.
This nickname came from the officials below who ridiculed Wang Gui for accomplishing nothing and making no achievements in the three years he had been prime minister, so they did not respect him so much.
On the contrary, the officials were respectful to Zhang Yue and Han Jiang.
Why is political performance important to officials? This shows that they can have the final say when it comes to superiors and can suppress people below. This is also why those in high positions like to use power to defeat the law and seize power by re-dividing the cake.
.
Wang Gui retreated into the class, looking at Han Jiang feeling a little dejected.
Didn't he know the sarcasm of the three edicts? He knew it. But now the power was in the hands of Han and Zhang. Wang Gui stood aside and could only watch.
Wang Gui originally didn't want to reveal it, but his mind changed after receiving Wang Anshi's letter yesterday.
When receiving the imperial edict as usual today, Wang Gui left the palace, holding the imperial edict in his hand and said to the officials: "I have received the imperial edict."
When the officials heard this and were about to disperse as usual, Wang Gui suddenly said: "Wait a minute! I have a few words to explain the truth!"
The officials were surprised. Was this the sun coming out of the west?
When did you, Wang Gui, become so 'talkative'?
…
While His Highness was looking at Cai Que and Wang Gui, Mingrui noticed this.
When it came to the changes in the laws of service, Cai Que saw the courage of Han Jiang and Zhang Yue. Although Han Jiang and Zhang Yue were now gaining momentum due to the changes in the laws of service, Cai Que continued to maintain an attitude of both alliance and neutrality. In the new party and the old party
There is a mountain in between.
Cai is indeed a person who is very good at understanding the holy will. In his heart, there is no political dispute between reform and unchanged law.
He had only one thought from the beginning to the end, and that was where the officials' thoughts were.
Han Jiang and Zhang Yue changed the new law, which made Cai Que realize that the officials also wanted to reconcile the new law.
So he was keenly aware of all this, and out of a sense of balance, he changed his previous attitude of shouting and killing the old party and took the initiative to marry Feng Jing, the leader of the old party.
Today, Wang Gui suddenly stood up, which shows that there is an undercurrent in this.
At this time, Xing Shu came to Cai Que and said, "The Wang History Museum is different today!"
Cai Que glanced at Xing Shu.
When Xing Shu saw that Zhang Yue was being attacked by the old and new parties, he felt that the other party could not succeed, so he took the initiative to express his dissociation with Zhang Yue in front of officials, completely ignoring Zhang Yue's favor in promoting him.
This incident made Sima Guang very angry.
Later, Zhang Yue's position became stable, and Xing Shu was so frightened that he immediately looked around to find his backing.
After many searches, only Cai Que dared to accept him, and from then on Xing Shu relied on Cai Que. Indeed, if Cai Que wanted to stand on his own, he would definitely accept those who were not tolerated by the ministers, so Xing Shu also had something he could take advantage of.
Cai Quedao: "Wang Shi Guan seems to have some ideas."
Xing Shu nodded and agreed with Cai Que's point of view.
