After a person retires from a high position, he often seems to be a new person.
Sometimes people are surprised as to whether the person in power is the real opponent, or the person who retreats to the mountains and forests is the real opponent.
When a person is in a position of power, power will alienate him unconsciously.
This is just like the alienation of capital from people, which is not based on people's will.
If you observe carefully, you will find that after your former colleague and friend took a leadership position, he seemed to have become a different person.
But after the other party stepped back from that position, he changed back to his original appearance.
Everyone is different, and it is obvious that relaxation is accompanied by loss after retirement.
Wang Anshi resigned from office for two months, and Zhang Yue only felt relaxed, as if he didn't care at all.
According to the rules, when a prime minister resigns, all favors will be killed.
But Zhang Yue looked at Wang Anshi and showed no signs of fatigue.
Wang Anshi still knows Jiangning Mansion, and he was promoted seven levels from the Minister of Rites to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. At the same time, his disciples like Lu Huiqing are still in high positions, but all these graces are far worse than when he was in phase.
It can only be said that it is due to the state of mind.
Facing Wang Anshi's inquiry, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "The official remembered a saying, 'Some people resign and return to their hometown, while others rush to the exam hall at starry night.' This is exactly what happened."
When Wang Anshi heard this, he smiled and said to Zhang Yue: "What Mr. Zhuang Yuan said is interesting. I just sit on the official stage for a long time and am tired of the machine work, so I just take a break when I am very proud. I don't care about honor or disgrace, just let nature take its course."
"When you read Liu Gong's poems, his words are damaged but his writing is not."
Zhang Yue slandered that Wang Anshi was obviously dismissed as prime minister, but he still paid homage to him and became an honorary minister.
Zhang Yue looked at Liu Zong's farewell poem to Wang Anshi and wrote: "White hemp is ordered to come out of the Phoenix Pond, and the bronze talisman of the Golden Festival is deputy to Xigui. The story is that the Duke of Zhou is not Lu, even if he is traveling in the mountains, he will also follow Qi..."
After Zhang Yue read it, he thought that the word "Liu Shu" was well written, and advised Wang Anshi to be more open-minded. Instead of being like Duke Zhou who had never been to the feudal state of Lu during his lifetime, he might as well learn from Zhongshanfu and go to Qi to build a city on the order of King Zhou.
Zhang Yue said: "The lower officials thought that in the end they were not as good as Han Tuizhi's 'I don't know the rank of the official, but there is a goldfish hanging on the jade belt... all the people in this seat are nineteen-year-old Jun Shu.'"
Zhang Yue was talking about Han Yu's poem "Showing the Son". At that time, Han Yu was very successful in his official career and had just bought a house in Chang'an. Then he wrote this poem to his son and said, "You see, your father is now in a high position, and the people he associates with are all
No matter who the guest is, regardless of his or her official position, at first glance, he is wearing a jade belt and a goldfish on his waist. Look at the guests here, they are all important ministers of the country.
Envy me, if you understand this, then study hard for me.
Wang Anshi said: "What Han Tuizi said in this poem is all about profit and wealth. However, Han Tui said, 'Scholar-bureaucrats regard officialdom as their home, and they will have nothing to return to', so they use it to teach their children."
The two of them finished fighting.
Wang Anshi said: "Han Zihua has come here to pay homage to me before he has even entered the prime ministership. He is about to pay homage to Bachelor Duanming. Is this why he is here?"
Seeing that Wang Anshi had seen through his intention at a glance, Zhang Yue said truthfully: "Your Majesty is aware that I have no idea what to do when I return to the capital, so I came here to ask your Majesty for advice."
Before returning to the capital, Han Jiang told the emperor's minister that after returning to the capital, he would first visit Wang Anshi and ask him about the way to govern the country and become the prime minister, so as to express that he would not change the new law easily, and even had Xiao Gui Cao's intention to follow it.
Now that Zhang Yue has returned to the court and served as bachelor of Duanming Palace, he took the opportunity to meet Wang Anshi and actually followed this process.
Because Zhang Yue was promoted by Han Jiang and had similar political views. At the same time, this move also expressed his position to the emperor and officials.
Wang Anshi said to Zhang Yue: "Before Han Zihua came to Beijing, the officials told me to talk to Han Zihua in detail about the urgent matters of human relations and political affairs. If you look at it, do you know what I said to Han Zihua?"
Zhang Yue shook his head.
Wang Anshi said: "I told Han Zihua that the three divisions manage the world's wealth, and there is no general guide to the amount of money coming in and going out. We need to consider the method of comparing virtual and surplus. But in the past, there was no good coordinating method, just like the household registration of the world, the number of people."
, taxes and site affairs, pit management, river crossings, houses and gardens, etc., the annual tax and the annual amount of money and grain are often repeatedly registered. Increases, losses, discarded money and things, surplus, extravagant expenses, etc., are all without evidence.
.”
"I asked him to set up a department to do his job!"
After listening to Wang Anshi's words, Zhang Yue understood that the other party was suggesting that Han Jiang set up a new bureau such as a statistics bureau to compile various financial figures, so as to facilitate the rulers in running the country.
Zhang Yue said: "In the past, in order to implement the new law, three departments of regulations were established, and the local government set up the Changping Department. The three departments had no way of knowing the accounts, so that the consumption figures could not be ascertained. Is this to solve this problem?"
Wang Anshi said: "That's right, so a new department will be established to merge the accounts of the Changping Department and the three departments."
Zhang Yue asked: "So this department will be placed under Zhongshu?"
Wang Anshi nodded.
Zhang Yue said: "Isn't this the prime minister's power usurping the power of the three divisions?"
Wang Anshi said: "It must be like this. If the prime minister does not predict the finances, what can he predict? How can he combine the world's wealth and manage it for the world?"
"I told Han Zihua at that time that this matter is urgent and should not be slowed down. You have managed three departments in the past and have economic talent, so you can handle this matter."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is another level of power being taken away from the top.
Wang Anshi set up three departments to regulate regulations, and promoted the Changping Department, which meant that the prime minister presided over finances, the Zhongshu usurped the rights of the three departments, and the central government usurped the rights of local governments.
Wang Anshi still followed the method of strengthening the power of the prime minister and intensified the intensity of the reform. Of course the latecomers Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing thought the same way.
This is the so-called virtual king, and it is also the politics most highly praised by scholars in the Song Dynasty. Even the emperors of the Song Dynasty advocated this.
Only then could there be Emperor Renzong who "can't do anything but can only be an official", and only then could there be famous prime ministers such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Wang Anshi who took the world as their own responsibility.
Under this general premise, Lu Huiqing was focused on guarding herself, and Han Jiang tried his best to invoke her entry into the DPRK to help...
But they didn't know that they had long... Hey.
Zhang Yue felt a little bit ashamed when he thought of this.
But the shame has disappeared for a moment, why don't I take the path of Xujun's true state?
First of all, now is the time for drastic reforms, and another thing is that you have to consider the emperor's feelings.
The Guan family is no longer the ignorant emperor he was in the early years of Xi Ning.
After eight years of pro-government, the official family had its own philosophy of governing the country and its own team. The most fundamental reason for Wang Anshi's dismissal as prime minister was the growing differences between the emperor and Wang Anshi.
As the emperor gains more power, will he tolerate another Wang Anshi? Will he tolerate the power of the prime minister over the power of the king?
In another history of time and space, why was Su Shi imprisoned for his poems in Wutai? Because after Yuanfeng, officials officially moved from behind the scenes to the front to preside over the new law.
But Su Shi was still criticizing the new law, so Wutai Poetry was created.
Wang Anshi asked: "Does Du Zhi's return to the court mean that he will abolish the Market Change Law?"
Zhang Yue asked: "Did the great scholar listen to what Lu Jifu said?"
Wang Anshi said: "You know it even if you don't tell it."
