Prime Minister

Chapter 578

"Brother, Zigu and Duzhi both looked bad when you were in contact with Brother Jiang just now."

Su Shi nodded and said, "I know."

Su Shi grabbed the armrest of the carriage and said: "Jiusanlang, I know Uncle Ying impeached Ouyang Gong, and Ouyang Gong has great kindness to our family, but I always think that Uncle Ying is not a bad person. Is a gentleman."

Su Zhe wanted to speak.

Su Shi waved his hand and said, "Just as I also know that if I act now, I will criticize the government, which will displease the officials and Wang Jiefu, but what I criticize is the government, not a personal grievance."

"The reason why people hate others is that they are inferior to others. I have never been inferior to others, so why do I hate others?"

Su Zhe said: "I know that brother is right about things and wrong about people, but sometimes his words are too clear."

Su Shi laughed: "Although Your Majesty has the heart to seek medical treatment, but he is not listening, he misbelieves people's words, and sees that the country will be out of control in the future. I feel like a thorn in my throat for these things, even if I suffer disaster because of it."

"You and Du Zhi persuaded me not to say it, it's like there are flies in the rice, do you swallow the flies with the rice, or spit them out."

"Brother." Su Zhe was a little sad when he heard that.

Su Shi said to Su Zhe: "Ziyou, I still remember my mother teaching me to read when I was young. After reading the book of Han, I asked my mother if I would like to die rather than surrender like Fan Jian, would you be willing?"

"Aniang said, if you are a fan slander, can I not be the mother of a fan slander?"

"Jiusanlang, the essence of loyalty, filial piety and fraternity lies in the word "sincerity. If you can't say what you think in the face of the emperor, powerful ministers, and friends, then loyalty, filial piety and fraternity will be gone."

Su Zhe said seriously: "Brother was born to be glorious, but he just doesn't fit in this doggy officialdom."

Su Shi smiled and said: "I will not regret what I do, you don't have to learn from me. But what Jiu Sanlang said is right, now in Bianjing, to me, it is just like a horse under the roof, which makes people feel uncomfortable. "

Su Shi took a sip of the remnant wine, opened the curtain of the car and looked at the night scene in Bianjing city.

For Su Shi, Bianjing was a huge cage, which imprisoned him and prevented him from being free.

In May, Tang Jie, the political adviser, died of illness. It is said that he was pissed off by Wang Anshi.

Tang Jie often had conflicts with Wang Anshi when he was in Zhongshu. The emperor always helped Wang Anshi, and Tang Jie was very angry.When Tang Jie died of illness, the officials went to see Tang Jie in person, but Tang Jie just shed tears and said nothing.

The officials mourned unceasingly, and ordered Tang Jie to be buried generously.

But once Tang Jie died, Wang Anshi was unstoppable in Zhongshu.

Wang Anshi dismissed three important ministers one day, one of them was Zheng Xie, a Hanlin scholar, who talked a lot about discord with Wang Anshi.

The other is Wang Gongchen, who is an old party member. He was an opponent when Fan Zhongyan reformed, and he also provoked Wang Anshi several times.

The other is Qian Gongfu, who had a good friendship with Wang Anshi, but he was on the wrong side in the matter of Xue Xiang and impeached Xue Xiang together with Wang Jing, and was also driven out of Beijing by Wang Anshi.

This move established Wang Anshi's prestige, but it also encountered a lot of controversy.

Now Wang Anshi has almost become a reality. At that time, there were words in the officialdom that ridiculed this phenomenon, using the metaphor of life, old age, sickness and death.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the five prime ministers of Zhongshu.

Born as Wang Anshi, now he is full of vitality.

The elder is Zeng Gongliang, and Zeng Gongliang has repeatedly asked the elder to ask for an official post.Zeng Gongliang's qualifications are not as good as Fu Bi's, and the emperor's trust is not as good as Wang Anshi's.

The illness was Fu Bi, Fu Bi also wanted to fight with Wang Anshi, but his health was not good and he had been recuperating at home. Before when Zheng Xie, Wang Gongchen, and Qian Gongfu were dismissed, Wang Anshi did not discuss with Fu Bi, so they drove them away. After leaving Bianjing, Fu Bi never went out.

When he died, it was Tang Jie.

It was Zhao Wei who was suffering. Zhao Wei wanted to compete with Wang Anshi, but he just couldn't compete. It was really suffering.

In the summer, Wang Anshi returned to the mansion after finishing his discussions with the officials.

Wang Yu has been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Wang Anshi sat down, someone brought him a cup of honey water.Wang Anshi picked up the honey water and drank it for a meal.

Wang Yu said: "Father, I heard that Yushi Zhongcheng Luhui and his author Zuolang Zhang Piguang intend to impeach you."

Wang Anshi paused slightly, then drank up the honey water, wiped the water stains around his lips with his sleeve, and said, "Let them go!"

Wang Yu said: "Father, this Lu Hui was elected by Sima Gong as Yushi Zhongcheng. If he wants to impeach Daddy, Sima Gong cannot be ignorant."

Wang Anshi didn't speak, so Wang Yu stopped talking.

"Father, this is the third letter from Zhang Duzhi to resign from Gou Guozijian."

Officials have to resign before taking office, and Zhang Yue also follows the process.

But Zhang Yue went to Sanshu with the emperor on one side, and wrote three letters to Wang Anshi on the other side, all of which said that he was ignorant and poor in moral level, and it was difficult to set an example for others and educate students, which was not enough to manage Gou Guozijian.

Wang Yu said: "Father, this Zhang Duzhi also has self-knowledge. He knows that Dad doesn't like him in charge of Gou Guozijian, so he wrote to us to resign."

Wang Anshi looked at the channel: "The school is the most important thing to change the old law. I really don't want to leave this matter to others, but the officials really value this son and want to entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

Wang Yu smiled and said, "Daddy, I think Zhang Duzhi should be in charge of Gou Guozijian."

"how you said that?"

Wang Yu showed a look of gloating and said: "Instead of dismissing the official's intentions, it is better to let him retreat when he is in trouble."

·Wang Anshi knew what Wang Yuzhi said: "How can we ignore the important matter of the country's selection of talents? If I really want to make things difficult for him, then it will be true as Wang Gongchen said. In the future, there will be a struggle between Niu and Li in the court."

"Call Zhang Yue to the mansion immediately!"

The hot weather made me hurry, and when Zhang Yue arrived at Wang Anshi's mansion, I couldn't help cursing.

Wang Anshi ordered his servants to bring Zhang Yue a bowl of plum soup.

Zhang Yue just took a sip, and Wang Anshi said: "Since the officials have entrusted you to take charge of the Gou Guozi Prison, I don't think you need to excuse it. If it is really inappropriate in the future, I will ask the officials to replace it."

"I called you here to tell you a few words, you must keep it in your heart, and you can think about it when you go back."

Zhang Yuehao leisurely put down the plum soup and said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Wang Anshi said: "I want to change the academic system and imperial examination, and the meaning I am looking for lies in the three characters of Qi De."

Qi Daode, Zhang Yue recited it silently in his heart.

Wang Anshi said: "Now the style of study is more prosperous than it was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the number of talents is less than that at the beginning of the country. Why is this so? It lies in the style of study."

"Nowadays, people's academics are different. Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zhuang, Yang Mo, Fa, and peasants and soldiers each talk about a word. One person has one righteousness, and ten people are ten righteousness. Now the imperial court wants to introduce a new law and wants to do something, but the ruling and opposition parties disagree. Fanran, don't accept it. This is all because the imperial court can't be moral."

"Therefore, in order to achieve morality, one must build a school. To build a school, the law of tribute must not change. This is the way for the court to win people in the future. Let the people of the world know that there is no other way to become an official except to follow this path. , and will be a virtuous person useful to the country in the future."

Zhang Yue kept every sentence of Wang Anshi in his heart. What did Wang Anshi mean by "Qi De"?Unify the national ideology.
