Five hundred and seventieth chapters three words of Su Shi
Su Zhe had nothing else to do in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division. He only discussed the exemption law and the reform of the imperial examination every day.
Once the memorials of officials' discussions were reviewed by the officials and Zhongshu, they were immediately forwarded to the Ordinance Department of the Third Department, where officials from the Ordinance Department discussed it. This is what Su Zhe is currently doing.
On this day, when Su Zhe was about to leave the Yamen, Lu Huiqing came over and said to Su Zhe with a smile: "Today, Mr. Wang is hosting a banquet in his private room. Later, you will call Mr. Zheng and we will go together."
Su Che heard that Wang Anshi was hosting a banquet and was unwilling to go. However, seeing that Lu Huiqing spoke seriously, he thought it would be better not to conflict with Wang Anshi and go to see what Wang Anshi had to say.
Su Che and Zhang Duan got into the car.
Zhang Duan and Su Zhe both worked in the Ordinance Department to scrutinize texts. He was a disciple of Chen Shengzhi, the Deputy Privy Envoy. Like Su Zhe, he was usually someone who was placed in the Ordinance Department from outside. The other person was Cai Jing, who was Han Jiang, and Han Jiang.
The brother Wei recommended to the Ordinance Department was also the brother of Cai Bian, a student of Wang Anshi's family. However, Cai Jing was not a detailed examiner of texts, but just an editor.
The remaining thirty or forty officials in the Regulations Department were all recommended by Wang Anshi.
After several people arrived at Wang Anshi's private residence, they all had a light meal.
It’s really a ‘easy meal’.
This made Su Che understand that Wang Anshi really did not invite them to his home for dinner.
After eating, Wang Anshi took out a book and said to several people: "This book contains the Qingmiao Dharma. The three of you read it carefully. If you have any questions, tell them in class. We will discuss them in detail here. During this period, we
What was discussed and the content of this young seedling law must not be revealed to outsiders."
After Wang Anshi finished speaking, he left here.
After Su Che heard Wang Anshi's serious words, he immediately took out the book and read it carefully.
Su Che could tell at a glance that most of the ideas in this book were written by Lu Huiqing. In the Ordinance Department, Lu Huiqing usually had the most opinions and the most intense ideas. In Su Zhe's eyes, everything Lu Huiqing mentioned was harmful.
The act of things.
At the moment, Zhang Duan was still looking at what the Qingmiao method looked like. Su Zhe couldn't help but said to Lu Huiqing: "I'm afraid this Qingmiao method was made by Ji Fu!"
When Lu Huiqing heard this, his expression changed and he said, "What does Ziyou mean by this?"
Su Che said: "This green seedling method is really inappropriate. Apart from Ji Fu, I can't think of anyone else who can do such a thing."
Lu Huiqing was so anxious that he lost his temper. He blushed and said: "This is the first time Lu has seen this. I have never heard of it before. Why didn't Ziyou tell Lu if he was dissatisfied in court? Why should he say hurtful words?"
Su Che said: "I don't agree with this method, please ask Jifu to take it back and change it!"
After saying this, Su Che immediately left the table and pushed the door open without looking at Lu Huiqing's face and Zhang Duan's request to stay.
Su Zhe met Wang Anshi who was wandering outside the door.
Su Che bowed his hand to Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi asked: "Why do you think this young seedling method is not feasible?"
Su Zhe said: "My Lord, I know that the intention of this green seedling method is good, but I paid for it..."
Su Che gave a long speech, and Wang Anshi listened very carefully.
Finally, Su Zhe said: "...in the final analysis, Xianggong's Green Seed Method is just a modification of the Chang Ping Cang Method. I hope Xianggong will do it first."
After Wang Anshi listened to Su Zhe's words, he said: "Ziyou's words are very good. This Dharma servant should discuss it and implement it. If Ziyou has any objections in the future, please tell him face to face and never talk to outsiders."
!”
Su Zhe saw that Wang Anshi actually adopted his opinion. It seemed that he was not as stubborn as the rumors said.
Su Che bowed and left.
After a while, Lu Huiqing walked out of the door.
Wang Anshi looked at Lu Huiqing, who immediately reported: "Zhang Zizheng has no objection to the Qingmiao Law, but this Su Ziyou...I couldn't even say a few words, so this person pushed the door open and left."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I just listened to what he said about the disadvantages of young crops."
Lu Huiqing was stunned. He wrote most of the regulations of the Qingmiao Law himself. Now it seems that Su Che actually impressed Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi said: "This Su Ziyu has indeed learned something. This Qingmiao method was tried out when I was in charge of the county. It has been too long now... Go back and change it. Don't talk about Qingmiao again in the next month."
Law."
Lu Huiqing thought to herself that if Wang Anshi really listened to Su Che's advice, wouldn't his own young seedling method be in vain? All his efforts would be in vain.
When Lu Huiqing thought of this, he had to give up for the time being and go back to revise the Green Crops Law.
When Su Che returned home, he asked his brother where he had gone.
Su Shi's whereabouts have always been erratic. Whenever he was appointed as an official in a place, he would visit monks and Taoists, either asking for some gold-burning prescriptions or golden elixirs for health.
Or maybe a colleague invited him to have a drink.
Su Che thought that Su Shi was probably not at home at this time, but after asking the old servant, he learned that Su Shi had been sitting in the study and refused to go out since he returned home.
Su Che thought to himself, hadn't Su Shi always complained that the official court had no errands to do? He was free to go out every day, but he actually had business to take home.
Su Che walked to the courtyard and saw that the lights in Su Shi's study were still on.
Su Che walked into the study, and Su Shi was writing a memorial under the lamp. Su Che picked up Su Shi's scrapped article and looked at it. Su Shi was actually writing a memorial to the emperor, and the title was "On the Tribute of the School".
Su Che knew that the Regulations Department of the Third Bureau was discussing the reform of the imperial examination, so the officials ordered officials from the Third Bureau and above to write a memorial explaining the matter within a month.
Those above three bureaus are officials with bureau posts.
From this, we can see that the scope of the official's edict to let officials speak was very wide this time.
Su Shi's current position was in the History Museum, which happened to be within the scope of being able to go to Shu to comment on matters, so Su Shi went to Shu to the officials.
Su Che looked at Su Shi's memorial with a look of worry on his face.
Su Shi looked at Su Che and said, "What's wrong? Is there another dispute with Lu Jifu and Wang Jiefu in the Ordinance Department?"
Su Zhe said: "It's okay to have some disputes. Everyone talks behind closed doors. It's just that Wang Jiefu doesn't allow me to talk about it. But my brother's lack of contact will probably offend Wang Jiefu. Sanlang has always told me that he should not be touched.
Wang Jiefu is the political leader, and now that you are on the throne...are you not openly at odds with him?"
Su Shi said: "Although I have not been lazy or inactive since I entered the capital, how can I not say anything when officials from the third bureau or above are asked to speak out?"
"Now that I have said it, how can I lie? Wang Jiefu said that the reform of the new law and the restoration of schools to recruit scholars were said to be the system of Yao and Shun. When the Three Dynasties were restored, in fact, the imperial examination system had been used for a long time since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and our generation has benefited from it. How can I not say this?"
Su Che saw that Su Shi insisted not to say anything more.
The next day, Su Shi went to the imperial court, and Zhang Heng also went to the imperial hospital at the same time.
Zhang Heng Shangshu was the opposite of Su Shi. Instead, he supported the method of selecting scholars through schools, but he did not discuss the advantages and disadvantages of selecting scholars through poetry and poetry or classics and righteousness.
So the two memorials were on the official's desk at the same time.
The memorial on the left side of the imperial case is the name of Su Shi, the official historian and judge in the palace, and the title is "On the School Tribute Examination".
On the right side is the name of Zhang Heng, the judge of Taichang Temple in Jixian Yuan, and the title is "On the Teachings of Universities and Primary Schools".
Su Shi and Zhang Heng had different opinions. Regarding the name of the subject, Su Shi was ranked third in the system, while Zhang Heng was the number one scholar in Jiayou's second year, even beating Su Shi. However, this time the two came to completely opposite conclusions, but both were criticized. Appreciation from officials.
The official's attendants happened to be Chen Xiang, who was in charge of the daily affairs, and Zhang Yue, who was waiting for the Tianzhang Pavilion.
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Su Shi, and Zhang Heng have all gone outside the palace to wait for Your Majesty to see you. Who do you want to summon?"
The official said: "Let's meet Su Shi first!"
Soon Su Shi entered the palace. The officials saw that Su Shi was really a good Su Zizhan, and he was really charming.
In fact, before meeting Su Shi, the officials had already been impressed by Su Shi's diction. When the officials asked Zhang Yue how Su Shi was doing, Zhang Yue had already felt it.
Zhang Yue also didn't forget to give Su Shi a thumbs up in front of the officials.
The official asked Su Shi: "The school system Su Qing mentioned was flourishing in the Three Dynasties, but it is no longer used today. There is something to behold in the article. But I object to the exclusive use of policy and theory instead of poems and poems, but I don't think so." "
Su Shi said: "Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to say. If the king chooses people for filial piety, some people will deliberately cut off their bodies to marry others; if they choose people for honesty, some people will deliberately wear bad clothes and poor food. Anyone who can meet the superior's will will always have someone. Do everything possible. The disadvantages of recruiting scholars through filial piety and honesty in the Han Dynasty are so bad, why are you not vigilant? Now your Majesty selects scholars based on the meaning of the classics. Scholars who read the books of sages have lost their original intention. They originally wanted to educate people based on the meaning of the classics, but instead ordered People in the world are always cheating."
Zhang Yue agrees with Su Shi's statement. Everyone knows the bad reputation of the Eight-legged essay in later generations. But then again, why did the Ming and Qing dynasties insist on using the Eight-legged essay even though they knew the disadvantages of it?
The official asked: "So nowadays, is it better to select scholars through poems and poems than through policy and theory?"
Su Shi said: "Your Majesty, in terms of articles, policies and essays are useful, and poems and poems are useless. But in terms of being an official and managing politics, poems, poems, and essays are useless. It must be reasonable for our ancestors to select scholars through poems and poems. "
"The book says, 'When you tell a memorial, you should use words, and if you test clearly, you will use merit'. Since ancient times, Yao and Shun, people have always failed to use their words to introduce people, and they have not used merit to test people. However, a scholar will be judged to be a wise or foolish person based on his mere policy and argument without paying attention to his words. Is it okay to try this?"
After listening to Su Shi's words, the officials were already convinced and said to Su Shi: "I have long doubted whether this method is feasible. Now I have the answer to your question. Please tell me, what are the gains and losses of my administration since I came to the throne? Even if it is me,
If you make any mistakes, you can speak up."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue gave Su Shi a wild wink, telling him not to talk nonsense.
The leader asked you to criticize, but did you really criticize?
But after Su Shi heard what the official said, he was completely indifferent to Zhang Yue's hint. Su Shi didn't even foreshadow a single sentence, and said directly: "His Majesty has made three mistakes in his administration so far. One is that he seeks treatment too eagerly, and the other is that he listens to words too much.
Guang, third, the entry is too fast!"
Zhang Yue listened to Su Shi's words and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Even if you criticize, you have scolded so many people.
Entering too quickly?
what does it mean?
Point at the monk and call him bald?
If you hadn't said it to my face, but behind my back, I would have thought you were trying to undermine me in the officialdom.
Just this sentence, do you know how many people have been offended?
However, Su Shi had no feeling at all. He felt that he had no secrets in front of the emperor. If there was a problem in the country, he would speak out. This is the true nature of a direct minister.
The officials were also very ashamed after hearing what Su Shi said. Su Shi was not only right, but also hit the nail on the head. He explained clearly the problems he had faced since he was in power.
It was almost impossible for this official who had been emperor for more than two years to step down.
But Guan Jia was a man who loved talents. Not only was he not angry at Su Shi's words, he was also very open-minded and said: "I will think carefully about your three words."
