Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 194 Chasing Wang Anshi

"A cavalryman?"

In the Privy Council!Zeng Bu frowned when he received Zhao Xu's order to form Tiefutu.

"My lord, it is said that the evil doctor Fan Zheng reformed the Military Weapons Supervisor and made the cold-forged armor!" A member of the Privy Council frowned.

"Cold forged armor?"

Zeng Bu raised his brows. Cold forged armor has always been a pain for the Song Dynasty. However, he did not expect that Fan Zheng, who presided over the reform military supervision, would crack the cold forged armor in such a short period of time. With cold forged armor, the Great Song Dynasty It does have the confidence to build a cavalry.

"How many armored cavalry do the officials want to build!" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

"Three thousand!" The officials of the Privy Council said solemnly.

"Three thousand?"

Zeng Bu couldn't help raising his voice, everyone knows that armored cavalry is expensive, and cold forging armor is cumbersome and extremely expensive. Zhao Xu built three thousand iron stupas at once!It directly consumed a large amount of military expenditure of the Privy Council.

"First there was the Thunderbolt, and now there is the Iron Buddha! This is simply a bottomless pit!" Zeng Bu said with a headache.

Zhentianlei is a gold-swallowing beast, and the Iron Buddha is a bottomless pit. The military expenditure of the Song Dynasty is already tight, and it is a little easier to have a national debt of 500 million guan. It is a little easier to build another [-] iron Buddhas, and I am afraid it will be stretched again.

However, the armored cavalry is powerful, and the cost is higher. Zeng Bu also recognized it, but what's the matter with this kidnapped horse? He's still wearing cotton armor.

The officials of the Privy Council explained: "The cotton armor is the result of the reform of military weapons supervision. It is said that it is the lightest armor in the world, only [-] catties. There are not many good horses in the Song Dynasty. The cotton armor can make up for the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty in terms of horsepower. "

"It's just nonsense. Even if the cotton armor has built-in iron armor protection, its defensive power will be inferior to the iron armor! Is Fan Zheng just messing around with the lives of my Song cavalry soldiers?" Zeng Bu frowned.

The cold-forged armor has been verified by Xixia iron kite at any rate, while the cotton armor was first created in the Song Dynasty and has never been verified in actual combat. Naturally, Zeng Bu had doubts about it.

Seeing Zeng Bu's anger, the officials of the Privy Council couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Fan Zheng's Military Weapons Supervision once said that the frontline soldiers will use whatever weapons and armor the Military Weapons Supervision makes."

"Be pampered and pampered!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but snorted coldly.

In his opinion, cotton armor is at most used as an alternative armor in winter, but Zhao Xu credulously believed in Fan Zheng and directly applied it to the Song cavalry.

It is not good news for the new party that the officials are so trusting of one person.

But Zeng Bu did not act rashly. The biggest opponent of the new party is still the old party.

........................

Lu Dafang and others naturally also frowned when they learned of the imperial court's decision to form Iron Buddha and Kidnap Horse.

The evil doctor Fan Zheng does have some skills, but the officials almost obey him. Given time, Fan Zheng will be the next Wang Anshi.

A new party headed by Wang Anshi is a headache for the old party. Given time, Fan Zheng will become his own climate, and he might not be able to create a medical party.

Lu Dafang frantically penned his pen and wrote a memorial to persuade Zhao Xu to be close to good ministers, stay away from villains, and discern loyalty from traitors.

Of course, in Lu Dafang's writing, the good ministers are naturally the gentlemen of the old party who boast and talk, and the villains are naturally the favored Fan Zheng and the new party.

"My lord, the new party has submitted a letter requesting to vindicate Wang Anshi! I request that he be given a place in the Shenzong Temple and posthumously titled." Suddenly the censor Yang Wei said in panic.

"Really?" Lu Dafang said in surprise.

Since Empress Dowager Gao took charge, Sima Guang has been in power!The conservatives tried their best to retaliate against the new party, and praised Sima Guang, Fan Chunren, and Han Wei in the old party as the "three sages", while Cai Que, Zhang Dun, and Han Zhen were denounced as the "three traitors". The traitor was slandered.

The new party wants to rehabilitate Wang Anshi. I am afraid that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong, but to rehabilitate the entire new party, and the new party will completely overwhelm the old party.

What's more serious is that once Wang Anshi is rehabilitated, how will Sima Guang, who abolished Wang Anshi's reform, deal with himself? Today's leaders of the new party and the old party have already become absolute opposites.

In the vertical arch hall.

"Reporting to the official family, Wang Xianggong reformed the law and strived to strengthen the country. After his death, he was repeatedly framed by others and his reputation was notorious. It really chilled the hearts of the people in the world. I begged to be fair and rebellious for the king. Posthumous title." Zhang Dun wrote solemnly.

"allow!"

Zhao Xu directly agreed, he has always admired Wang Anshi's reform, so he naturally understood the significance of this move to the reform, and he affirmed Wang Anshi, so he can continue to carry out the reform in a legitimate way.

"What kind of posthumous title do you think Mr. Wang should have?" Zhao Xu asked.

Cai Bian stepped forward and said: "Among the posthumous titles of officials in the past dynasties, only Wen Zheng is the most elegant. Wang Xianggong is loyal to the country and strives for reform, which is worthy of the posthumous title of "Wen Zheng."

"The minister agrees!"

All the ministers of the New Party nodded their heads one after another.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly in his heart. Fan Zhongyan, the first reform leader of the Song Dynasty, was posthumously granted the title of 'Wenzheng' after his death, and Wang Anshi, as the leader of the second generation reform movement, was also granted the posthumous title of Wenzheng.

"Wen Zheng?"

Lu Dafang frowned. You must know that Sima Guang was also given the posthumous title of Wenzheng. Now that the new party proposes that Wang Anshi be given the same posthumous title as Wenzheng, he might be suspected of deliberately targeting the old party.

Lu Dafang signaled slightly, Yang Wei gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said: "I object!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Yang Wei.

Zhao Xu frowned, and looked at Yang Wei with displeasure. In his opinion, Wang Anshi, as the leader of the reform movement, deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, and the posthumous title 'Wenzheng' was more than enough. The old party was too ungrateful.

Yang Wei looked into Zhao Xu's eyes, and said bravely, "I want to report to the officials that I object to giving Wang Anshi the posthumous title of 'Wenzheng'. It is not selfish, but because Wang Anshi is indeed not worthy of the posthumous title of Wenzheng."

"Yang Wei, you are so brave, you still dare to slander Wang Xianggong." Zhang Dun angrily reprimanded Yang Wei.

Lu Dafang stepped forward to support Yang Wei and said: "Wen Zheng is the highest posthumous title of civil servants, but Wang Anshi presided over the political reform, the people were angry and resentful, he was defeated in successive battles externally, the people were not safe inside, and he was unable to defend against the enemy externally, how could he deserve the posthumous title of Wen Zheng. "

Zhang Dun suddenly became angry. Although he admired Wang Anshi's reform very much, he understood that Wang Anshi's reform did not make the Song Dynasty stronger immediately, and there were constant opposition in the country.

"Wang Xianggong can't afford Wen Zheng's posthumous title, so Sima Guang can afford Wen Zheng's posthumous title." Suddenly Zhang Dun sneered.

"Sima Guang?"

The officials of the old party couldn't help but frowned one by one. Sima Guang was also posthumously named Wen Zheng, and now it became an excuse for the new party to attack the old party.

Zhang Dun cupped his hands and bowed to Zhao Xu: "After Shenzong's death, Sima Guang came to power, abolished all the new laws, deliberately suppressed reforms, and ruined the revival of the Song Dynasty. How can such sinners deserve it? Invoking Wenzheng's posthumous title, I implore the officials to issue an edict to remove Sima Guang's posthumous title and destroy the stele bestowed by the officials."

All of a sudden, the court shook.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the old enemies, fought endlessly for the reform during their lifetime, and now several years after their death, under the promotion of their successors, they are still entangled.
