Six hundred and twelve chapters reward a ruling work
Zhang Fangping came to Beijing this time with high expectations. When he left Beijing two years ago, in addition to paying homage to the government officials, the officials were reluctant to leave him and even quarreled with Sima Guang.
But when he came to the capital, the officials gave him the imperial edict, imperial edict, clothes, gold belt and horse.
When he was full of hope, he learned that Wang Anshi strongly opposed Zhang Fangping's stay in Beijing.
Zhang Fangping's heart sank. During this meeting with the Holy Spirit, he understood that the Holy Scroll had been lost. He knew it from the arrangements made by the Xuanhui Envoy. The official was not the official who favored Wang Anshi two years ago, and Zhang Fangping no longer needed him.
.
When the officials heard Zhang Fangping's words, which were taboo for the prime minister, they were a little ashamed.
Zhang Fangping's words also confirmed the official's permission for Wang Anshi to be arbitrary and full-time. The official couldn't help but ask, am I really too full-time for Wang Anshi?
After Zhang Fangping finished speaking, he stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Fangping strode out of the palace, but saw Su Shi, Li Dalin and more than ten close officials waiting outside the palace. When they saw Zhang Fangping arriving, they all came forward.
Zhang Fangping looked at them and smiled and said: "I have to see Your Majesty today. I have already said what I want to say. This trip is not in vain."
After saying this, Zhang Fangping looked relieved.
Su Shi and others looked at each other, what is this? Zhang Fangping came with high expectations, but after meeting the official, he was sent out of Beijing?
Li Dalin said: "But there are people who are obstructing it and are afraid of the public."
Li Dalin thought about the three words "Wang Anshi" but didn't say them out yet.
Zhang Fangping stroked his beard and said, "Don't make random guesses. Your Majesty has made his own judgment. I would like to say goodbye to you all. I will leave the capital today to take up my post!"
After saying this, Zhang Fangping bowed his head and strode away without being greeted by everyone.
Sure enough, Zhang Fangping left the capital that day, and did not even return to his private residence in the capital. He left the capital with his family and left the capital to take office.
Although Zhang Fangping did not say anything in front of Su Shi or Li Dalin, this move already expressed his strong dissatisfaction.
Zhang Fangping and his party blamed Wang Anshi for all this.
In February, Wang Anshi faced his biggest challenge.
Han Qi petitioned to abolish the Young Crops Law!
The official handed Han Qi's memorial to Wang Anshi and said: "Han Qi is a truly loyal minister. Even though he is away from home, he still never forgets the royal family. I originally thought that the Qingmiao law would benefit the people, but I didn't expect that it would harm the people so much. How can the people of Fangguo deserve the Qingmiao money?"
As soon as the official said this, all the ministers nodded. This is too random, just like citizens also receiving agricultural relief loans.
For the sake of KPI assessment, the officials all lent money to Guo Fangmin.
Everyone thought that Wang Anshi had nothing to say this time, but Wang Anshi said angrily: "As long as the people are willing, what's wrong with the people?"
The ministers were all stunned when they heard this.
Everyone in the field was puzzled as to why Wang Anshi insisted that there was nothing wrong with the Qingmiao method at this time.
Zeng Gongliang came out and said: "I'm afraid that the prefectures and counties will rob the people, and even the households will be suppressed."
Wang Anshi said: "As long as we punish a few culprits, this evil can be eliminated."
The officials were silent. At this time, Cheng Hao, the censor, asked him again about the Chengdu Qingmiao method, and Wang Anshi argued hard.
But Wang Anshi felt that the more he argued, the more unconvinced the ministers present were. Even the officials were affected by Han Qi's memorial and no longer supported him as before.
Wang Anshi said to the official: "Your Majesty, I have written more than 100,000 words for Qingmiao Law since I first gave lectures, and I will not say anything more. However, Your Majesty cannot clear up the doubts because of a memorial. As a result, public opinion is confused, and the reform will be carried out in the future."
Don’t do it.”
"The Point Guard Is Here"
The official hesitated for a while, and then said: "But we have to do what we say. Both Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongbi knew that the Green Miao Method was not feasible, but they did not say it outright. But Han Qi... Han Qi was not someone else, he
He was the prime minister of three dynasties and was entrusted by two emperors. What he said cannot be false."
When the officials said this, Wang Anshi knew that the officials' confidence in the Qingmiao Law had been completely shaken.
The official paused and then said: "If the people suffer from this young seedling method, if some traitor instigates... the people will rebel."
Wang Anshi said: "The method of green crops is to relieve the poor, suppress annexation, and save money to prepare for the people's famine. I don't know what the people have to suffer!"
The next day Wang Anshi claimed that he was ill and could not come out.
The officials also regretted their blunder that day and asked Sima Guang to write a decree to comfort Wang Anshi and ask him to come back.
As a result, Sima Guang wrote an imperial edict, in which there was a sentence: "Now the scholar-bureaucrats are boiling, and the people are in commotion," which was an insinuation that Wang Anshi's reform had made everyone uneasy.
Wang Anshi was furious after reading the memorial and went to the memorial to defend himself.
When the officials saw it, they knew it was Sima Guang who was responsible, but he could only come out and take the blame himself, saying that I didn't read the report carefully, and I didn't mean to blame you.
This time he did not ask Sima Guang to draft an edict but asked Lu Huiqing to deliver the oral edict to Wang Anshi's house.
But this time, Wang Anshi seemed determined and determined not to return to the throne, and then requested to be transferred to Jiangning to serve as an official.
At this moment, the court realized that Wang Anshi was not angry, but was serious about it.
At this time, Wang Anshi had only been involved in politics for a year.
The officials were a little angry when they saw that Wang Anshi had given up his choice, so they simply appointed Sima Guang as deputy privy envoy, and even sent someone to ask Wang Anshi's attitude deliberately.
Wang Anshi said that Sima Guang was the banner of the old party. Once this person was used, there would be no mention of reform in the future.
The officials also had their tempers. Even if you, Wang Anshi, don't want me to use Sima Guang, I will use him anyway.
Do you really think that the imperial court cannot function without you, Wang Anshi?
If you dare to be hypocritical, then I will replace you with Sima Guang, who is at odds with you.
After the official issued the decree, unexpectedly Sima Guang also refused the appointment of Deputy Privy Envoy.
Sima Guang also replied to the officials and said that as long as your majesty can stop and establish the Department of Regulations, and return the promotion officials, if there are no young crops, they will all lose. In this way, even if the ministers are not used, the ministers will receive many rewards.
When the officials saw Sima Guang's memorial, they almost spit out blood.
When the officials saw that Wang Anshi was not coming out and Sima Guang also refused to bow, they couldn't help but get angry. They thought, I have been in charge for three years. Without you two, can I really not be able to run the government?
So the officials ordered Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei and others to discuss the removal of Qingmiao Fa.
As a result, it was easy to launch this green shoot method, but now that it is being promoted across the country, it is not easy to stop it suddenly.
The money for young crops has already been allocated, but your officials want me to change it. How to change it? After this law is abolished, what will happen if the people do not pay back the money?
So Zhongshu discussed it for several days, but could not come up with a charter.
The official family went completely berserk, and that night Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were announced in a hurry to enter the palace.
Zhang Yue was sleeping soundly at home when suddenly the emissary issued an edict and allowed him to enter the palace. He was really surprised and thought that the official was suffering from some illness, just like Emperors Renzong and Yingzong.
Immediately, Zhang Yue rushed to the palace in a hurry, and happened to meet Lu Huiqing. He didn't know what was going on and rushed to the palace in the same confusion as himself.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw the official's face full of anger, and his eyes were bloodshot.
As soon as the officials saw Zhang Yue, Lu Huiqing and others said: "You two will draft and change it into the Qingmiao Law for me. Once the matter is done, I will reward you for your administrative work!"
Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were shocked when they heard this. What is this?
Let’s replace Wang Anshi and Sima Guang right now?
If we had known this, why would we still be fighting over it?
