On February 3rd of the second year of Xining, Wang Anshi graduated from the Imperial Academy as a bachelor, served as minister of the Ministry of Industry and concurrently as a lecturer. In addition to admonishing the officials on the right, he also participated in political affairs.
In the same month, Fu Bi was appointed as Tong Zhongshu's subordinate Ping Zhangshi.
Since the emperor decided to let Fu Bi return to the court and Wang Anshi paid homage to the prime minister, Zeng Gongliang had aged a few years with a tacit understanding and actively moved closer to Wang Gui. Most of the discussions in the court were silent.
Wang Anshi, on the other hand, was full of energy and spoke generously about state affairs many times among his peers. Among the several ministers, except Tang Jie who dared to argue with Wang Anshi, no one else was Wang Anshi's opponent.
A few days after Wang Anshi paid homage to the prime minister, the officials summoned Wang Anshi in the palace.
Wang Anshi has been a Hanlin scholar for ten months, and has given lectures at the banquet as a lecturer. After enlightenment and consideration of the officials, the officials have deep trust in him, and they have no doubts about the policy policy he advocated during the banquet.
.
However, this policy policy is still a secret and cannot be heard by outsiders.
This was all said by the monarch and his ministers in private conversations. Even at the Sutra banquet, Wang Anshi did not reveal it to anyone except the emperor.
Now, just a few days after Wang Anshi paid homage to the Prime Minister, he once again explained his political views to the officials.
This political speech has been repeated many times by Wang Anshi. It is necessary to reaffirm the confidence of the officials in themselves and the determination of reform measures, because once the government decree is issued, any hesitation and hesitation by the officials will affect the officials' implementation of the decree.
After Wang Anshi made a long speech, he finally strengthened the trust of the officials.
The official downgraded his rank and said to Wang Anshi: "You are not qualified to implement these things for me. From now on, I will trouble your family with political affairs. With your family's knowledge and ambition to govern, they will definitely be able to promote it in the world."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, since I became a Hanlin scholar last year, I have been hoping that your Majesty will do something. Now the customs and laws of the world have been corrupted. There are few good people and many scoundrels in the court. Gentlemen are accustomed to live in peace but are ignorant.
, The traitor is evil, upright, ugly and upright, and he has some taboos.”
"Therefore, once a political matter is implemented, traitors are afraid to come forward and spread the word everywhere, while gentlemen who know nothing about it will agree with others. Although I have my own opinions, I am afraid that I will not succeed and will be overcome by different opinions.
"
After listening to Wang Anshi's words, the officials nodded repeatedly and were convinced. I have to say that Wang Anshi's vaccination was quite good.
Wang Anshi said: "The reason why I give lectures first when I return to the court is that I hope that Your Majesty will not doubt what I have learned, and then use me to implement government. In this way, I can achieve something based on what I have in mind."
The official said: "I don't want to achieve even a little bit. If I want to achieve success, I want to achieve 100%. I have known you for a long time, and I have taught you for so long, so I naturally trust you. But now a minister like Tang Jie in the court cannot
Knowing the Qing family, I thought that the Qing family only knew the classics."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the so-called classics is to manage world affairs. If you can't manage affairs, what is the use of classics?"
The official said: "The Qing family originally said that changing customs and enacting laws was an urgent matter now. Are you still taking this as your priority now?"
Wang Anshi said: "It is indeed true, your majesty, the Book of Changes says that when it comes to governing the world, the top priority is to connect the country with peace, and the bottom is to close chaos. If there is no peace, there will be many villains and few gentlemen."
"What are the customs and customs? It means that the customs are formed at the top, and the vulgarity is transformed at the bottom. If the top and the bottom are not connected, how can the top and the bottom be effective? As long as the top and the bottom are connected, there will be more gentlemen and less villains. If the top and bottom are closed, then the gentlemen will be in chaos.
If there are less, there will be more villains.”
Wang Anshi's few words once again made the officials admire him to the point of admiration.
This truth can be said to be a true insight, something that Fu Bi and Han Qi could not say.
After reaffirming their determination to use Wang Anshi, the officials thought, if I use Wang Anshi, just like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely win over Wei Zheng, and Liu Bei will definitely win over Zhuge Liang.
The official said: "Then the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions said that they would read the text of the Regulations of the Three Divisions in detail and report on the Hexing incident. How exactly is this going to be done?"
Wang Anshi said: "The establishment of the three regulations departments is to take charge of the country's plans and negotiate changes to the old laws for the benefit of the world. Previously, Xue Xiang, the Shaanxi transportation department, used salt banknotes to buy tens of thousands of dollars from Westerners without costing the court a penny.
Horses are the established example, but many ignorant people in the court are against it."
"These people don't know how to open and close wealth. The former king established an official in Quanfu to urge mergers, distribute wealth among the poor and rich, and use the world's wealth to benefit others. These three departments of regulations will be Quanfu.
House affairs."
The official asked again: "But some court officials are talking about the reform of the old laws by the three departments of regulations, but they are not under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu. The third department is under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu. It is the power of Zhongshu to change the regulations, and the third department has been in charge of finance for many years. This
Is it acceptable for the three departments to usurp the power of the Zhongshu and the three departments, and amend the regulations to the extent that the Zhongshu is not heard by the three departments?"
All decisions were made by Zhongshu, while the third division was responsible for all matters concerning Qiangu.
The three regulations department proposed by Wang Anshi suddenly bypassed Zhongshu and the three departments and fell directly under the jurisdiction of Wang Anshi and Chen Sheng.
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, there are many shortcomings in the Third Division. I already knew it when I was an official in the Third Division. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward."
"As for the independent establishment of the third Ordinance Department, it will be easier to discuss political affairs and achieve early success. If it is returned to Zhongshu, all five prime ministers must have no objections before the text can be drafted. After the text is drafted, everyone else must have read it in detail.
.”
"Anyone who does nothing needs other people's permission. If this is the case, it will be difficult to achieve success, and the day of reform and revitalization will be far away!"
Officials thought that the ancestral family law established various yamen to restrain each other and prevent any one person or any yamen from having too much power.
However, Wang Anshi's move was unprecedented, so many officials below opposed it.
However, the official remembered Wang Anshi's vaccination before, and reaffirmed his determination and asked: "Except for me, I am aware of the good intentions of the Qing family. I am afraid that not many people in the world can understand the Qing family, let alone those who implement them.
?”
Wang Anshi said: "Talents are rare, and even more difficult to know. As far as I know, among the ministers in the court, not one or two out of a hundred people may be qualified for this position. If they are mediocre and do nothing, it will be defeated. If they are not used appropriately, they will fail."
It has defeated His Majesty's good intentions for reform and harmed the people of the world."
The official said: "Yes, it is difficult to get people."
Wang Anshi continued: "I commend Lu Huiqing. Not only is Lu Huiqing's talent beyond the reach of today's people, but he is also beyond the comparison of the Confucian scholars of the past. Apart from me, Lu Huiqing is the only person in the world who knows the way of the former king best."
The official nodded and said, "Who else is available?"
Wang Anshi said: "Liu Shu, the author of the book, can use it."
Liu Shu is now studying Zizhi Tongjian under Sima Guang. This man is knowledgeable and has a strong memory. Even when Sima Guang is studying history, he will ask him for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand.
The official immediately wrote down the names of Lu Huiqing and Liu Shu on the imperial case.
"There is also Chen Zhijian available."
…
Wang Anshi interviewed several people and then said: "Your Majesty, there is another person who is better than the former, even as good as Lu Huiqing, but I am afraid that your Majesty will not let him go."
The official asked: "Who is it?"
Wang Anshi said: "Tianzhang Pavilion is waiting to make Zhang Yue."
The official was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "I don't allow it!"
