All the palaces of the imperial court were moved. After enduring the cold wind for a period of time, they finally moved to the palace complex of Qinzheng Hall.
Who will eat the chaff when there is rice? Let alone the scholar-officials at the top of the dynasty.
After everyone's arduous hard work, under the gloomy face of the government official, all the officials in the yamen were beaming with joy.
Sima Guang really had no shame in feeling such an atmosphere.
Although the courtiers did not continue to impeach him with all their might, the officials also ignored his invitation to go abroad.
But he, Sima Guang, invited himself out again!
He really didn't want to see the current state of the court, which was completely opposite to the prosperous days of the sages. This was something he couldn't bear at all.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to compile history and I really have no time to take care of the government. I hope that your majesty will allow me to resign if I can concentrate on compiling history!"
After the officials did not respond to his invitation to go out, Sima Guang took advantage of the meeting to raise the issue directly.
I am very determined to go out!
Wang Anshi really hoped that the officials would grant Sima Junshi's resignation.
They have been old friends for many years, but the boat of friendship has leaked since he became prime minister. The friendship between the two went from bad to worse after the court hearing.
Not to mention the breakup after the introduction of the Green Seed Law.
Nowadays, although we still enjoy each other's cultural exchanges every time we have banquets, we really can't find the understanding and caring that we once had.
Sima Junshi's resignation will be beneficial to Wang Anshi's next step and to their friendship. Maybe because of Sima Junshi's resignation, the two of them can reunite and return to their original closeness.
status.
As for Han Qi and Wen Yanbo, they did not want Sima Guang to leave the court.
If Wang Jiefu, that badger man, can really compete with his words, it is probably Sima Junshi.
A period of stability does not mean that Wang Jiefu will remain stable forever.
Wang Jiefu and his claws have never reduced the frequency of gathering. Everyone knows that he is holding back his big move again.
The official is not a peaceful king, who knows what he will do next time!
Nowadays, Uncle Ouyang Yong has become a decoration in the political affairs hall. He frequently goes to the martial arts hall, and after hearing about Lu Gong's works, a special guest house was set aside for him.
Strictly speaking, Ouyang Yongshu has been deposed in the political affairs hall. Apart from handling the memorials within his scope, he almost no longer expresses opinions on the government affairs.
Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi have never had the position of being ministers from the beginning. As long as there is a conflict between the political affairs hall and the official family, I am afraid that they will side with the official family without having to think about it.
If Sima Junshi is gone, the Zhengshitang will be the only force that checks and balances the king, and Han Qi and Wen Kuanfu will be left...
Regarding Sima Junshi's resignation from the officials in person, everyone held their breath and didn't know how to persuade him.
"Sima Xianggong, I have read both of your resignations, and the reasons seem to be sufficient..."
Is this official going to be accurate? During Zhao Xi's pause, everyone was making random guesses.
"But I'm still not sure. The stability of a court is the continuation and stability of national policies, that is, the stability of the people in charge of the court."
"For the dynasty, the stability of the king, the ministers, and the ministers means the stability of the national policy. I don't think that frequent changes of the ministers will make the government survive for a long time. Therefore, there is no intention to adjust the ministers for the time being."
"If Xianggong Sima is really busy studying history and has no time to govern, please persist for one more year, or even shorter. If Xianggong Sima still wants to resign by then, I agree!"
Zhao Xi almost blurted out: I will never keep you... If you really say it, the ambiguity will be huge.
When Zhao Xi reached this point, Sima Guang no longer insisted.
For more than five years since the late emperor's reign, except for the appointment of Fu Bi, Fu Yan, Guo Ding You, and Zeng Gongliang, the political affairs hall has really not changed much.
In the past five years, the imperial court has promulgated many decrees, which indeed gave the country signs of rejuvenation.
It was also because of the stability of the political hall that the imperial court did not make repeated changes in national policies, which gave local officials a direction to implement their policies and gave the Ministry of Personnel a focus for evaluation.
Of course, because these two people left the court, the political hall became troubled by Wang Jiefu.
Wang Jiefu is really a troublemaker, even Zhao Xi has to admit it.
The last great court meeting of this year is also the first great court meeting in Qinzheng Hall.
It was supposed to be a conference that went from victory to victory, from success to success. But because of Wang Jiefu, this troublemaker, the tone completely changed.
At this great meeting, Menxia Pingzhangshi Han Qi summarized the work of the state this year.
Han Zhigui stated in detail the achievements of the dynasty this year. From the increase in population, to the soaring tax revenue, from the scientific examinations to obtain scholars, to the coming of all nations to the dynasty, from farming to the improvement of armaments.
Even the severe drought that had occurred in Hebei Province for a century did not have the slightest impact on the country.
The fifth year of Zhenghe has been a glorious year, a year of success, a year of good weather, a year of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
After Han Zhigui's report, Wen Yanbo gave an account of the military affairs of the DPRK this year.
It detailed how many soldiers the Imperial Guards had replaced this year, and how many Xiang Army Imperial Guards had been reduced by the conversion of the army to civilians, so that the disadvantages of the Three Redundancies of the Imperial Army and the redundant troops were basically solved.
He also mentioned how many Liao and Xia traitors were killed by the border troops of the Kingdom and North Korea in the northwest and how many miles of territory the Liao and Xia were forced to retreat.
He also described the armament production situation overseen by the General of Gongfang City. Muskets, artillery, gunpowder shells, and chariots have never stopped equipping the army. Today, the border between China and North Korea has completely shifted from strategic defense to strategic offense.
The fifth year of Zhenghe was a year of strong military strength and a year of clearing up the sea, Yan and rivers.
At this time, it was almost the end of the court meeting.
In the next few days, each yamen will deal with trivial matters and then seal the yamen. It will not be until Yuan Day that the court officially handles government affairs.
In such a warm Qinzheng Palace, listening to the princes highly praising the government, the civil and military officials in the court were filled with happy smiles.
What a time!
It happened that Wang Anshi came out at this time...
The hamster is just rejoicing... Wang Anshi pointed out that the reason behind the increase in tax revenue of the country is the people who are oppressed by the powerful.
All kinds of goods are bought and sold, and the prices are controlled by big merchants. In order to make huge profits, profiteers spare no effort to exploit the people.
The increase in tax revenue also means that big merchants are oppressing the people to an even greater extent.
To change this situation, the only way is to return the right to trade goods to the imperial court, and let the imperial court lead the transaction of bulk goods, and strictly control or regulate the prices of goods to prevent the people from being oppressed by big merchants, causing the poor to become poorer and the rich to become richer.
.
Wang Anshi said that this was the Market Change Law, and he explained the entire Market Change Law in detail without stopping.
Wang Anshi's words were like a thunderclap, causing the entire main hall of Qinzheng Hall to boil.
Zhao Xi knew that Wang Anshi would propose his market transaction law. He thought he would propose it after the new year, after the government offices opened, but he did not expect that he would propose it at this stall or at the court meeting.
I said, Lao Wang, are you really not afraid of trouble? Do you really think that everyone in the court is the same as you? Do you really think that because the court owes money and food to Gongfang City, it will agree to your market change law?
