Five hundred and fifty-seven chapters Tianzhang Pavilion pending
Inside the banquet hall.
After hearing Zhang Yue's words that Wang Anshi would definitely win, the official thought for a moment and asked, "Why is Zhang Qing so confident in Wang Anshi?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't have confidence in Wang Anshi's teachings, but I have no confidence in the righteousness of Qingli Fan Wen."
After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and paced around the room with his hands behind his hands.
Zhang Yue continued: "Sima Guang advocated that in order to save money on abolition, start from Guizhou, Wang Anshi said that there is no need to abolish abolition. Sima Guang was fighting to reduce expenditures, while Wang Anshi was fighting to increase revenue. As soon as this argument was made, it was obvious that Sima Guang had lost.
.”
"At the time of Duke Fan Wenzheng's reform, he advocated the abolition of redundant officials, redundant troops and redundant expenses, which was a means of reducing expenditures. When I heard that your majesty came to the throne, I asked Wang Tao and Sima Guang to discuss cutting redundant expenses and taking advantage of them in the second year of Qingli.
The number, compared with today’s expenditures, will be determined in detail for national use.”
Of course the officials remembered it, but both Wang Tao and Sima Guang refused. When he first came to the throne, he really asked Sima Guang to cut redundant expenses, but the other party refused to do so, which made him very disappointed. Now he is in front of the emperor.
When he argued with Wang Anshi, he mentioned cutting expenditures. This is really...
The officials couldn't help but have some opinions about Sima Guang. Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, when Fan Wenzhenggong abolished Sanruan, the court was turned upside down. Ministers in the court will inevitably make the same mistake again."
The official said: "Are you saying that Sima Guang is afraid of offending others?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to speculate on my own, but most of the officials agree with me. Now no one dares to mention cutting expenditures, so I say that Wang Anshi will win!"
The official asked Zhang Yue again: "Zhang Qing, you told me that the state is currently insufficient. Should the government's national policy be to increase revenue or reduce expenditure?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I tell you the truth. The method of reducing expenditure is actually better than the method of increasing revenue!"
The officials looked shocked when they heard this.
Wang Anshi has been talking to him about how to manage money, and he now deeply agrees with the principle of using the world's wealth to manage it, and he feels that Zhang Yue agrees with it.
But why does Zhang Yue now say that reducing expenditure is better than increasing revenue?
In Zhang Yue's heart, if he does it without worrying about the consequences, it is definitely better to reduce expenditure than to increase revenue.
For example, when a private enterprise encounters operating difficulties, the first thing it will do is lay off employees and cut expenses in various ways, instead of first thinking about why the people will not be given more tax and the country will be able to use it. On the other hand, what if it is replaced by a state-owned enterprise?
Fan Zhongyan cut the three redundants, but does the court belong to you, Fan Zhongyan? Renzong first used Fan Zhongyan's reforms, but later he did not dare to persist. Why? He was worried that if Fan Zhongyan continued, he would not be able to keep his throne.
Therefore, when Wang Anshi proposed open source at the beginning, everyone agreed with both hands and feet, but it was not my interests that were affected. You could do whatever you wanted. As for what happened later... after all, no one thought of it at the time.
Facing the official's inquiry, Zhang Yue said: "If your Majesty asks me whether it is better to increase revenue or reduce expenditure, I will answer that it is better to reduce expenditure."
"If your Majesty asks me whether we can do this by increasing revenue or reducing expenditure, I would answer that we can only do this by increasing revenue."
Zhang Yue didn't need to explain much, the officials immediately understood what Zhang Yue meant.
The official passed by Zhang Yueyi and said: "That day at the court debate, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang mutually criticized each other's methods. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are both loyal and reliable ministers, so why do they see so different things?"
"I didn't know why at the time, but now I know it after listening to Zhang Qing's analysis."
The official recalled that when Han Qi resigned as prime minister, he asked Han Qi if Wang Anshi could be prime minister. Han Qi said that Wang Anshi could be a Hanlin scholar, but not the prime minister.
Think again about Zhang Yue recommending Wang Anshi when he first came to the throne.
As for Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Han Wei, I am afraid that Zhang Yue had already planned what they planned, and knew them well. From this, it seems that Zhang Yue's ability to govern the country and secure the country is no less than that of Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, or even better.
Zhang Yue naturally did not hear what the official said from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would be so ashamed that he would crawl into the ground. He used the foresight of the time traveler to be raised to such a height by the official, and he was really embarrassed.
ah.
Zhang Yue just thought that since he was a close official, he had to speak objectively and say things that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi did not say.
Don’t Sima Guang and Wang Anshi know the pros and cons of reducing expenditure and increasing revenue? With their political level, they must know it.
But what? Sima Guang only talked about how it was good to reduce expenditures and how it was in line with the ways of the previous kings, but he never said that this approach is difficult to implement today.
Wang Anshi just talked about how open source is feasible and easy to use, but he never said that reducing expenditure is actually better than open source.
Wang Anshi is like the defense lawyer, and Sima Guang is like the prosecution lawyer. They will definitely not say anything that is disadvantageous to their position.
But as a judge, officials must understand what the two have left behind.
And only after the two of them argued, did they know the merits of it.
This means that when two swords cut each other, the sharp and the blunt reveal the truth; when the two theories are intertwined, the right and wrong are discerned.
The official was very satisfied with Zhang Yue's words and said, "I have won the man."
At this moment, the official said: "Zhang Qing, I have discussed with Zhongshu, and you will be used to prepare for Tianzhang Pavilion!"
Zhang Yue heard something in his heart. Although he had already expected it, his heart still couldn't help but surge up at this moment.
No wonder everyone he met along the way was hesitant and hid. Even Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei, and Tang Jie didn't dare to reveal a word. The reason was that the emperor personally simplified himself.
If they had told themselves in advance, they would have made the same mistake as their senior brother Sun.
The officials wanted to promote Chen Shengzhi to be the Privy Envoy. After discussing it with Zhongshu, but the edict had not yet been issued, Senior Brother Sun went to the Shu Council and publicly requested that Chen Shengzhi be promoted to the Privy Envoy.
When the officials read Sun Jue's memorial, they must have thought that 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping past.
You obviously promoted Chen Shengzhi to Privy Council, but what did you end up doing?
Senior Brother Sun's emotional intelligence is simply... worrisome. If he were an official, Senior Brother Sun must have been demoted to Java as an official.
The same promotion of himself to the waiting list came from the official's will. If Zeng Gongliang and others had told him in advance, it would be the same as Sun Jue.
No matter how you say it, it was the officials who personally removed him, and it was during Lu Jing's case that he was impeached.
Instead, he used promoting himself as a punishment to slap Lu Jing in the face to protect his calf.
When Zhang Yue arrived in front of the palace, he had predicted 90% of the situation in advance and thought that he would be very calm. But when the official told him personally, Zhang Yue was still upset.
Not only to be restrained, but also to be treated with kindness by the emperor.
In the past, when he read books, he always felt that the imperial art and loyalty to the emperor were the dregs of feudal thought.
But at this moment, you are treated like this by the officials, how can you not be moved in your heart?
Zhang Yue immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I am a person who is ready to be punished. How dare you take on such an important task! I hope your Majesty will take back your life!"
There was silence in the palace for a moment, and the officials had no words.
Zhang Yue felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. At this moment, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
But I heard the official say slowly: "Zhang Qing, I can trust you! Don't let me down in the future!"
