Wang Zhongzheng is still not alert to such things.
It is not too late to get the news, and it is not too late to report the discovery.
However, Wang Zhongzheng did not pay much attention to it. It was not until Zhao Xi finished handling official business and returned to the inner garden that Wang Zhongzheng treated Zhao Xi as gossip.
If Wang Anshi was not the founder of the innovative method, he would not even say such a thing.
It's just a matter of pushing and shoving between the clan members and the Xianggong's servants, it's not a big deal. Not to mention that the intensity is very low, even if the servant is injured in the fight, the Kaifeng Mansion can handle it.
That is to say, the officials asked them to pay more attention to the information about the new law, otherwise, the detectives would not even report it.
Civil servants look down on the internal prison, but Wang Zhongzheng really wants to watch the fun...
Who would have thought the situation would be so serious.
"The officials and clan members blocked the door of Mr. Wang's house and prevented him from leaving the office..."
At this time, Wang Zhongzheng also knew that the matter was a bit serious...
"Where is the political hall?"
"Back at the official house, there was a quarrel in the political hall. Sima Xianggong asked the Kaifeng government officials and patrolmen to directly disperse the clan members. However, Han Xianggong and Wen Xiangggong believed that it was the time when the court was reforming clan clans, so they should handle it gently..."
When did this happen? Do you still care about wrangling?
"Who from the political hall has arrived at the scene?"
"Back to the official house, no one is at the scene yet. Mr. Han Jiang suggested that whether it is dispersal or gentle treatment, the Kaifeng Mansion must be present and escort Mr. Wang to the palace..."
"However, Prime Minister Han Qi and Prime Minister Wen Yanbo agreed that this would draw the troubled clan members into the palace and damage the reputation of the court. It is recommended that Prime Minister Wang resolve the issue himself."
Huh? When Zhao Xi heard this... it was a bit interesting. It seems that it is not that simple.
"Where is Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Back at the official's house, the patrol officers and government officials arrived... but... they didn't make any movements, as if they were just watching the excitement."
So far, the courtiers cannot find anything wrong with Wang Anshi.
Moreover, as long as both sides exercise restraint, even if this situation lasts for four or five days, it won't be a big deal for Wang Anshi.
At worst, just tell the court that you are sick.
Zhao Xi couldn't see any other purpose behind it. From now on, it really seemed like the clan members were dissatisfied with Wang Anshi because they were dissatisfied with the changes.
Let’s fix the loopholes first.
"Zhongzheng, with my handwriting, grant permission to Wang Jiefu to complete the reform laws at home. In addition, notify the Kaifeng Prefecture to ensure that no conflicts occur, and then transfer a military squad from the Military Academy to coordinate with the Kaifeng Prefecture to maintain order..."
Compared with Wang Anshi, the clan is not very popular in Bianliang.
In fact, Zhao Xi could cut the knot quickly and resolve this matter. The reason why he continued the story was to see what was behind it.
The clan reform decree has been promulgated. In Zhao Xi's concept, there is no such thing as revising it day and night, and it will not and cannot be abolished at will.
Not to mention the clan members, but all the civil servants in the court making a fuss...well, this will be very troublesome.
But now, I can let the bullets fly for a while.
Sure enough, throughout the whole day until the official appointment, no unexpected news came, and the clan members also dispersed, as if to prevent Wang Anshi from going to court.
In the inner garden, it’s rare that today all the women in the family are gathered in Yanfu Palace...but they all seem to be exhausted.
"Third brother, I have been harassed by my clan members all day today..."
When Tao Niang saw Zhao Xi entering the palace, she cheered up and greeted him, as did the Su family and Duan family.
"Have you reached the inner garden?"
"Well, there were people visiting me early in the morning. From the princess, the princess to the county lord, almost everyone in Bianliang was left."
"I have been crying since the time of Mao until now. I beg the officials not to listen to the words of the court officials and not to damage the foundation of the Song Dynasty..."
"It's not just here, I'm afraid the Queen Mother is also disturbed. Everyone here is of the same generation, maybe the elders have gone to Ciming Palace. Third brother, Tao Niang is not involved in the affairs of the court, but the Queen Mother is
Bian, you'd better go for a while."
A two-pronged approach, this is all the lady route.
The Queen Mother... Well, you have to face what you have to face. Whether you support it or not, there is no possibility of changing it overnight.
When it comes to family members, it is really necessary to go to Ciming Palace to explain things.
…
"Xi'er, are you here for clan matters?"
"Yes, Madam, the child has finally caused trouble for Madam and disturbed Madam's purity."
Zhao Xi was busy with official duties, so it was not that Zhao Xi meant to be left out in the cold, it was just that his daily routine of waking up early and waking up had become accidental.
"Xi'er, being a mother doesn't mean you're old and fatigued. When your father was still alive, he once lamented the extravagant expense of the clan, but was unable to deal with it ruthlessly."
"Now, since the court has agreed, there is no need to change it. They have indeed cried to their mother... Since they are relatives of the Song Dynasty, they should share their worries for the longevity of the Song Dynasty."
If we want to say that the people in the dynasty who know Zhao Xi best are the Queen and Queen Mother of Neiyuan. From a very young age, the official family has always been very opinionated.
Regardless of whether the clan reform was initiated by the officials or really suggested by Wang Anshi, as long as the officials agreed to implement it, they knew that it was a done deal and there was no possibility of changes.
Although he was annoyed by the shouting from his clan members, he felt that the court was being cruel in doing so. But in front of Zhao Xi, he would not be embarrassed.
The key is that you cannot cross the line of interfering in politics within the inner palace.
At most, he just cursed Wang Anshi behind his back. After all, the clan members were like this, and the royal relatives would not do any good.
Everyone has their own interests and demands, and so do the women in Neiyuan.
Although their support was firm, Zhao Xi could tell that they also didn't understand the clan changes.
"My dear, in the imperial dynasty, if you are a clan member, a relative of the emperor or a relative of the country, even if you are rewarded with a high rank and an astonishing title, when you really face the scholars and ministers, do you have any sense of superiority?"
It is necessary to explain. Zhao Xi really does not want Neiyuan to not understand the government affairs and even interfere in a roundabout way.
"Compared to scholars from poorer families, even those who work and study for generations, the clan and relatives of the emperor have preferential treatment even in scientific examinations and appointments, and have advantages in promotion."
"Even if you are a second-class Jinshi, if you want to make an impression in the political hall, it will take ten years of hard work. Even Su Zizhan's class in the second year of Jiayou's reign has been more than ten years, and it only took these two years for children to remember them.
"
"What about the clan and relatives of the emperor? As long as they do something a little bit, they will be mentioned by the court, and there is no chance that their achievements will be buried. After all, they all have direct channels to Tianting."
"With such an advantage, you can stand up straight and face the civil servants and scholars. Why not?"
"Since the clan members and relatives of the emperor also know that they are the most solid foundation of our Song Dynasty, why not consider making this foundation more solid?"
"A child doesn't want to be alone against the ministers in the court. But looking at the court, those who can compete with the ministers and have the same position as the child are really limited."
"I really hope that one day, when there is a meeting in the political hall, there will be relatives of the emperor or clan present, and there will be a husband who has the same thoughts as me. Unlike now, I have to exhaust my brains to conspire with civil servants."
"To achieve such a situation, the only way is to let the clan and royal relatives become officials, and only they can enter the court based on their true ability, instead of holding high official positions like now, even during court meetings.
Dare to speak!"
To say that Zhao Xi had such an idea when he started to solve the clan issue was just deception. But now it makes sense to use this as an excuse to explain to the empress...
