Prime Minister

Chapter 840 Who is right and who is wrong
Zheng Xia, who installed the door, witnessed everything about the refugees, and slowly walked down the wall.

Although Zheng Xia was born in a family of officials, his family was not rich. His parents were elderly and he had many younger brothers and sisters, so he sympathized with the sufferings of the common people.

In Zhiping years, his father Zheng Yun was the tax supervisor of Jiangning Prefecture, and Zheng Xia lived in Jiangning with his father.

Zheng Xia had already failed the exam once, so he lived in Qingliang Temple outside the city and studied hard. He met Wang Anshi through the introduction of his friend Yang Ji.

Wang Anshi admired Zheng Xia, who studied hard and studiously, so Zheng Xia joined him as a student, and together with Wang Yu, passed the Jinshi examination in the fourth year of Zhiping.

Zheng Xia and his successor Gwangju Judiciary joined the army. When he was in office, he investigated four or five cases, because it would hurt the face of the other party if the case was overturned.Zheng Xia wrote to Wang Anshi to ask for his support, and Wang Anshi supported his students without saying a word.

Until the spring of the fifth year of Xining, Zheng Xia arrived in Beijing after his full term.

In order to promote the new party officials, Wang Anshi proposed the "examination method", as long as the candidates pass the selection examination, they may be transferred to Beijing officials without cuts.

Wang Anshi asked Zheng Xia to take the exam, but Zheng Xia refused.

In the sixth year of Xining, Wang Anshi set up the Jingyi Bureau to revise the "Three Classics and New Meanings", which has a guiding role in the new law.

Wang Anshi asked his niece-in-law Li Dongmei to persuade Zheng Xia to join the Jingyi Bureau, but Zheng Xia refused again.

Wang Anshi used Li Dongmei's mouth and even pointed out that Zheng Xia could change his official position as long as he joined the Jingyi Bureau, but was rejected by the other party again.

Zheng Xia is in the "door bureau", that is, the post of the supervisor, dealing with the common people every day, seeing with his own eyes how the common people are suffering from the easy law of the market and the exemption of money. Wang Anshi asked him to get rid of the disadvantages of the new law.

Zheng Xia also wrote a poem "seeing a sycophant's eyes like water, hearing Zhong's ears like deaf" to persuade Wang Anshi.And Zheng Xia's reply to Wang Anshi's call was like this, if you can use my political opinions one or two times, I will become an official in Beijing, if you can't, I will still be my pick.

In short, in the spring of the fifth year of Xining, after Zheng Xia entered Beijing, he and Wang Anshi gradually drifted apart.

And this severe drought started in July of the sixth year of Xining until now. Zheng Xia saw with his own eyes that in order to repay the loan from Shi Yisi, the common people removed the tiles of their houses, sawed off the beams, and destroyed all the mulberry and jujube trees in their homes. They were chopped up and sold on the market to repay official loans.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xia decided to go home to do a major event. Before planning the event, Zheng Xia discussed with his colleagues.

Every event in history is not isolated. It seems that a big event promoted by a small person, but it is promoted by a group of people with the common will of the majority.

After Zheng Xia finished this matter, he felt that there was still a need to meet someone.

So Zheng Xia went to Wang Anshi's prime minister's residence.

The servants of the Zaifu didn't know Zheng Xia, and after Zheng Xia reported his name, the other party was very indifferent.

"The prime minister has no time to see you."

Zheng Xia said: "I'm not here to see the prime minister, but brother Pingfu!"

The doorman was a little surprised, but he still helped Zheng Xia to pass it on.

Soon Zheng Xia saw the dark and fat Wang Anguo.

Wang Anguo said with a smile: "Jie Fu, we bought a flute, do you want to see it?"

Zheng Xia bowed solemnly, Wang Anguo asked, "What are you doing?"

Zheng Xia said: "At the beginning, Zheng served under the Prime Minister's sect, but now I'm afraid that he will disappoint the Prime Minister's great kindness."

Wang Anguo said: "You are a corporal of elder brother's gate wall, why did you say this today? Could it be that there is some grievance?"

Zheng Xia talked about what he saw when he installed the prison gate, Wang Anguo was shocked when he heard this, and said: "It really happened..."

Wang Anguo turned around in the room angrily and said, "These are all the work of that treacherous Lu Jifu. Now my brother can't listen to anyone except Lu Jifu. I persuaded him a few times, but he ignored it."

If you talk about Wang Anguo, what do Zheng Xia have in common?Then everyone hates Lu Huiqing very much.

Wang Anguo criticized Lu Huiqing for being a villain several times in front of Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.

As for Zheng Xia's poem admonishing Wang Anshi that "seeing a sycophant's eyes are like water, and hearing Zhong's ears are like deafness", that sycophant refers to Lu Huiqing, and Zhong is talking about himself.

Knowing that Wang Anguo couldn't persuade Wang Anshi, Zheng Xia had to leave. Wang Anguo stepped forward and asked, "Jie Fu, can I lend you a copy of the manuscript to persuade my brother."

Zheng Xia said: "It's not that I don't want to borrow it, it's just that I'm afraid of hurting others."

Zheng Xia left after speaking.

Thinking of this, Wang Anguo immediately went to report to Wang Anshi that Zheng Xia was about to go to court.

Wang Anshi sighed and said nothing when he knew it. In fact, since Zeng Bu was ordered to investigate the Yisi, he felt pain in his heart.But Wang Anguo thought that Zheng Xia's letters were usually collected through the Hemen Division, and then passed through the Tongjin Division.

As a humble official, Zheng Xia's talk about the new law is suspected of going beyond his post, so the officials of the Hemen Division will not accept it.

The next day, Han Wei, a Hanlin scholar who was sentenced to enter the Yintai Division, was in the division.

Han Wei was demoted for opposing Wang Anshi before, and now he has returned to the court.

The biggest matter in the court right now is that Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing, the two generals of the new party, are fighting each other because of the changes in the market.

Zeng Bu originally checked the market and changed the law at the will of the emperor, but whoever wanted to fight until now has given Lu Huiqing the upper hand.

Now Han Wei has also joined the battle group.

The emperor ordered Han Wei to be in charge of interrogating Shi Yisi and the matter of exempting money, and jointly tried it with Wu Anchi and Lu Jiawen.Han Wei disagreed, and Lu Jiawen had already proposed the Shiyi Division, so there was no reason for him to judge himself.

So Han Wei asked for a separate interrogation, but the emperor refused.

Han Wei was very angry and said to Shangshu, why are you so partial to Lu Jia and asked, Your Majesty.What is my identity, Han Wei?Lu Jia asked what his identity was?Do you still remember that when you were the prince, I was still your teacher?

The emperor said a good word to Han Wei, but still did not agree to Han Wei.

Han Wei was furious, what happened?Zeng Bu couldn't beat Lu Huiqing, and he couldn't beat Lu Jiawen?Lost before making a move?

Today, Han Wei, who is in the bank department, received a side report delivered by a horse.

The side reports sent by such horses are used in emergencies and can reach Shengting directly.

However, Han Wei can also decide whether to post it or not based on the content. He saw that it was written by Zheng Xia, who came to Jian'an, and the content was a sketch and a picture.

Han Wei understood immediately, and said decisively, "Send this sketch map to the palace immediately."

……

When the picture of Shuhe was sent to the palace, the emperor thought it was Zhang Yue's side newspaper in Qingtang, who would have expected that when he opened it, he would see a picture of refugees.

How about this picture?

It turned out that the common people had pledged their wives and sold their children, fled and fled, and sold all their wealth in the city in exchange for losing officials and buying millet.

In the memorial, Zheng Xia asked for the abolition of the new law. Now it will rain within ten days, and if it does not rain, he will be killed.

The officials looked at this picture several times and sighed deeply.

In fact, what Zeng Bu and Zheng Xia said was true, he knew it in his heart long ago, but Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were ridiculed by the world, and they turned themselves to serve the country?

Who is right in the middle?Who is wrong again?
Seeing this shocking picture of refugees, the officials felt terrified.

Thinking of the suffering of the people in the picture, the officials finally couldn't help crying in the palace!
