Prime Minister

Chapter 646
In September of the third year of Xining, Xixia aggressively violated the frontier.

Wang Anshi resolutely rectified the government. First of all, the opposition Hanlin scholar Sima Guang and Fan Zhen went out successively.

Sima Guang learned about the Yongxing Army as a Duanmingdian scholar.

As for Fan Zhen, he directly became an official as the servant of the household department.

However, due to the impeachment of Su Shi by the censor Xie Jingwen, the officials ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and Su Shi stayed at home.

After that, the Su Jia case in Taixue started again.

Yan Fu and other five imperial scholars were dismissed for speaking directly, Su Jia brothers were dismissed from their studies, and Zhang Yue was removed from the three officials because of the crime of lax duties, and his official was demoted to the right secretary, and he was removed from the post of Gou Guozijian , but retain Zhizhigao, the dispatch of Tianzhang Pavilion attendant.

Wang Anshi changed his order to Chang Zhi to manage Gou Guozijian.

Zhang Yueshangshu also asked to be dismissed.

That's right, Zhang Yue didn't ask him to go out, but dismissed him!

After hearing the news of Zhang Yue's dismissal and the dismissal of the five direct lecturers, how could the Tai students be willing to give up? Nearly a thousand Tai students went on strike. As for the direct lecturer Su Zhe who was not involved in the Su Jia case, he took the initiative to go to the school. Please agree with Zhang Yue.

When Wang Anguo learned that Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, and Zhang Yue had been dismissed, he went directly to his brother Wang Anshi angrily and said, "Scholar Sima, Bachelor Fan, and Zhang Sheren are famous all over the world for their literary talents and learning. They are all top-notch in the world, but now it is because of a word from my brother, is it okay?"

Hearing what Wang Anguo said, Wang Anshi was unmoved and said, "There is nothing to do, only what not to do."

Wang Anguo wept and said: "Although I agree with my elder brother presiding over the new law, but now the world is raging, if I demote these three people now, the whole world will blame my elder brother. My Wang family is afraid that it is because of my elder brother that my family will suffer. "

Wang Anshi said: "What's the problem? You might as well learn from Han Wei. Lu Jia asked the two of them. You, An Li, can claim to have differences with me, or even openly oppose me. If such a reform fails, it will not implicate my Wang family."

Speaking of this, Wang Anshi paced and said: "In the final analysis, this reform is only Wang Anshi's business. If there is a catastrophe, it will only affect me, Wang Anshi. You and Anli can stay out of it!"

"Brother!" Wang Anguo burst into tears.

"If a catastrophe strikes, add one more child!" Outside the door, Wang Yu strode in, and Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu followed behind him.

Wang Yu said in a loud voice: "The reform has progressed and never retreated. Let alone Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, and Zhang Yue, what if there are 30 or 300 people? Let's just let it go."

Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu both said: "We all follow our husband!"

After Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu had finished speaking, Wang Anguo pointed at them and scolded, "It's because you two misunderstood the law to participate in politics and change the decree, so today is here!"

Lu Huiqing sneered, but Zeng Bu retorted: "Your son, the son of a man, the imperial court reformed, what are you doing?"

Wang Anguo said: "It is my brother who participated in politics. The father who participated in politics is also my father. Because of the two of you who participated in politics, you killed yourself and ruined your family, humiliated your ancestors, and dug graves. How can you not do my business? "

Wang Anguo said to Wang Anshi: "Since my brother came to power, all those like Deng Wan who have served Your Excellency and flattered you all the time, and my brother thinks they are worthy. These people come day and night, or come every day, my brother will be in the toilet again." I also didn’t see it. But like the old Sima Junshi, the one who morally expects Zhang Duzhi, is getting farther and farther away!”

Wang Anguo cited Sima Guang, Zhang Yue, and said that the day came and the night came out, and that they came here every day to scold Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, etc. who came to the door every day.

Wang Anshi said: "I am determined to reform the law, and I will never turn back, so I don't need to say more."

Wang Anguo said with tears: "I'm not opposing my brother's reform, but just looking forward to my own misfortune."

Seeing that Wang Anshi didn't say a word, Wang Anguo went to the movie theater at home and burst into tears.

Wang Anguo's cry came, Wang Anshi glanced at it, and Wang Yu said, "I'll go out and persuade him!"

Wang Anshi nodded.

After Wang Yu went out, Wang Anshi asked Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing, "Are the Tai students still making trouble?"

The two nodded, Lu Huiqing said: "Not only Tai students, but also many discussions in the capital are not good for us."

Wang Anshi said: "Let the Kaifeng mansion and the police patrol those who slander the current affairs and convict them. Let Chang Zhi immediately stabilize the Taixue, and the Taixue students will definitely be allowed to resume classes."

"Yes."

Wang Anshi asked again: "How has Zhang Duzhi been these few days?"

Zeng preached: "I have been in the mansion all the time. After hearing about his resignation, Han Weigong and Ouyang Yongshu all sent people to Beijing with letters to express their condolences. Sima Junshi and Fan Jingren also sent people. As for Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers, and Taixue spoke directly, and officials who opposed the new law came to the door to express condolences."

Wang Anshi frowned when he heard this, and immediately said: "However, Zhang Duzhi said he was sick and stayed at home behind closed doors, and he didn't see anyone."

"Oh, not a single one?"

"It's true that I didn't see a single person."

After Su Song returned the title due to the seal, there were a lot of guests at home, and all the officials who opposed the reform gathered in his home to listen to him talk about how bad the new law was.

But Zhang Yue was different. After being deprived of his three officials, he stayed at home alone, didn't see anyone, and didn't complain.

When Wang Anshi heard this, his expression relaxed and he said: "You two are also friends with Zhang Yue, so you might as well come to see him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't see you. You wrote to him on behalf of the old man. He really did not oversee the matter of the imperial school. Mistake, but that's all, no greater fault."

"I absolutely refuse to resign, and neither will the officials. You can tell Duzhi that he can go out. He has a lot of experience as a magistrate. After several years...as long as I am still in the court , will still reuse him!"

Speaking of this, Wang Anshi had no confidence in whether he was still in power at that time.

Lu Huiqing was a little bit aggrieved by Wang Anshi's emphasis on Zhang Yue, and asked: "There are so many officials in the world, why do you cherish Zhang Du alone?"

Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing: "For ministers, the most rare thing is the three words of talent, virtue and hope. It seems that the two of you are also talented as ministers, but compared to Zhang Duzhi, it seems a little inferior."

……

The first snow comes very early after the winter in Bianjing.

Zhang Yue Linxuan faced the snow scene in early winter, so he practiced calligraphy on the desk, while Seventeen Niang watched with a smile on her hand.

Sometimes couples will transcribe an article by Li Taibai, you write a word, I write one or I write a line, you write a line and so on.

Shi Qi Niang also has calligraphy skills, and is even better at painting.

Sometimes when she saw Xia Yu Qiushuang, Shi Qi Niang would pick up a brush to paint, and Zhang Yue would improvise small words beside her.

Zhang Yue said he was sick at home during this period, and the husband and wife lived a very comfortable life.

However, Zhang Yue's poems and handwriting were all kept by Shi Qi Niang so that they would not be shared with outsiders. Zhang Yue was puzzled at the beginning, but praised the lady for being smart and cautious.During this period of cutting officials at home, if the words and poems I wrote fall into the hands of others, it is easy for people with ulterior motives to use them as articles.

Zhang Yue was also careful not to go out for a step, as long as he knew some things, he knew how warm and cold the drinking water was, and he couldn't chatter with others like a resentful woman.

Therefore, an official must have a strong heart.
