Chapter 198 The Evil Prescription: The Power of the Three Parties

"Partisan!"

In the imperial garden!Zhao Xu looked up to the sky and sighed!
The emperors of all dynasties did not like party disputes, and even believed that party disputes were harmful to the country!
If possible, Zhao Xu also does not want to have factional struggles in the DPRK, but he has no right to choose. He has just been in power, and if he wants to reform and revitalize the Song Dynasty, he must appoint a new party.

To avoid the tragedy of Shenzong's reform failure, it is necessary to use the old party to contain the new party. He originally thought that the new party and the old party would work together by setting the coffin for Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. However, Su Zhe's continuous resignation made him All his efforts were in vain.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "The new party and the old party have different ideas, so they can only supervise each other, and it is impossible to cooperate with each other."

"Party struggles harmed the country! In the late Western Han Dynasty, there was a disaster of party entrapment, and in the late Tang Dynasty, there were party struggles between cattle and men. These are all signs of the country's subjugation. I will never allow the same thing that happened in the Song Dynasty to harm the country again." Zhao Xu said with firm eyes.

"Are the officials preparing to support the new party?" Fan Zheng asked with a flash in his eyes.

Zhao Xu fell silent. What Fan Zheng said was indeed what he thought in his heart. Since the party and government are inevitable, he can only choose one of the two, and choose the new party that is most beneficial to Song Dynasty's current situation.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is no party outside the party! It's just the emperor's wishful thinking! Even if the officials let the New Party dominate, after the New Party grows bigger, it will automatically divide into various factions and continue a new round of party struggle. This is unavoidable due to human nature. One party dominance is nothing more than deceiving one’s ears and stealing the bell. It is really a bad policy. In the future, the old party will make a comeback, and I am afraid that a new round of party struggle will repeat itself, and that will be the time when the Song Dynasty will truly perish!”

The great men of later generations once said that there is no party outside the party, the emperor thinks, and there is no faction inside the party. There are all kinds of strange things. However, whenever there is a dispute between courts and courts, there will be conflicts between interest groups in all dynasties, and it is impossible to avoid the struggle.

The dominance of the new party is just a bad idea.

"Then, based on Fan Aiqing's opinion, how should we break the situation!" Zhao Xu said in his heart.

Fan Zheng asked instead: "Have the officials ever read Senior Ouyang's "On the Clique?"

"Gentlemen make friends of the same way, villains make friends of the same interests." Zhao Xuning nodded.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "There are disputes over the interests of some people. When Fan turned into a forensic doctor, why didn't he form a clique with a group of like-minded classmates, and finally made the doctor flourish. Since cliques have existed since ancient times, and they are inevitable, the officials must Face up to the faction!"

"I'm worried about the recurrence of the fact that the cattle and Li factions have harmed the country." Zhao Xu frowned. If the old and new parties are allowed to fight, I'm afraid it will definitely affect the government.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Of course, when two tigers fight, there is bound to be a wound, and a tripartite confrontation is the most stable relationship, and it is the best way to resolve the conflict between the old and new parties."

"Three-legged confrontation?"

Zhao Xu's heart moved. He was familiar with the situation of the Three Kingdoms in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Combined with the situation of the Liao, Xia and Song Three Kingdoms, he naturally understood that the three-legged relationship is the most stable relationship.

"Are you asking me to support a new party? Check and balance the old and new parties." Zhao Xu frowned.

"Nowadays, the government has only three choices. One is to suppress the old party and fully support the new party. If one party dominates, the old party will rebound in the future, which will inevitably lead to greater party disputes. The second is to sit back and watch the old and new parties. It will intensify, and the third is to re-cultivate a new party with three pillars, and let the three parties check each other, control the party and government within a certain range, and stabilize the government." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Evil formula? Evil formula again?"

Zhao Xu gasped and said, the emperors of all dynasties avoided factional struggles, but Fan Zheng's evil side actually did the opposite, adding another party, so that the three parties would stand against each other and check and balance each other.

"In today's Great Song Dynasty, there are many factions. In addition to the old party, there is Cheng Yi's Luo party! Su Shi's Shu party! Liu Zhi's Shuo party, in the new party, Wang Anshi has passed away, and the new party is also full of hills. Can Zeng Bu really be single-minded? Brothers Cai Bian and Cai Jing have never listened to Zhang Dun’s words, since the party struggle in the Song Dynasty is inevitable, the three parties will work hard to check each other, this is the only way for the government to break the situation!” Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu frowned. The impact of Wang Anshi's reform was too great, not only the success or failure of the reform, but also serious court battles. The political parties in the Song Dynasty were one of the disasters.

"Even if I agree with the three-pronged policy, how can I form a third party in a short period of time, and who can preside over this third party to compete with the old and new parties? Su Shi? Cheng Yi? Or recall Liu Zhi." Zhao Xu frowned. road.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Su Shi was obsessed with literature and didn't care about party struggles. Cheng Yi was motivated by a book business. The Luo Party has no clear connection with the old party. Liu Zhi has just been demoted. Recalling him will damage the authority of the government."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and the prestige and means of these three were no match for Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun, so it might be difficult to form a tripartite confrontation. "

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Actually, there is one person in the court who can compete with Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun in both prestige and seniority."

"Who is it?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

"Lord Su Songsu, prefect of Kaifeng!" Fan Zheng reminded.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up immediately, and then dimmed. Su Song's prestige is indeed very high, and his reputation in the government and the public is excellent. However, he does not establish party support. Although he can balance the old and new parties, but he wants to form a situation where the three parties in the court stand together, But it is simply impossible.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Although Su Song is an official in the court, he is the leader of another faction in the court."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.

"Confucian doctor!" Fan Zheng explained.

"Confucian doctor?" Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

In the Song Dynasty, the medical style was at its peak. At that time, Fan Zhongyan had a famous saying that he could be a good doctor if he was not a good face. Many officials who practiced both Confucianism and medicine practiced medicine to make a living when they were not qualified for Jinshi.

After Confucian medicine became famous, it did not give up medical skills, but compiled medical skills, and even integrated medical skills into political concepts.

"You want Su Song to set up a medical party?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng with a strange expression.

Su Song is a double cultivator of Confucianism and medicine, and Fan Zheng is the leader of the medical school. Su Song is now establishing the Medical Party. After all, he is old.

This is not because Zhao Xu thinks too much. As an emperor, although he believes in Fan Zheng, he has to think about Fan Zheng's motives.

Fan Zheng replied without hesitation: "Why not! Traditional Chinese medicine treats people, great medicine treats the country, and doctors also have the idea of ​​hanging pots to help the world. Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated evils and is in danger. Doctors are best at difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty is very important. My doctor is none other than me."

Looking at Fan Zheng's undisguised rhetoric, Zhao Xu's doubts were swept away. Not long ago, when Fan Zheng's old party was overshadowing the sky, he dared to speak out to become a forensic doctor.

Now both the new party and the old party have disadvantages. Su Song can compete against Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun, and the idea of ​​doctors hanging pots to help the world is also very beneficial to Song Dynasty. Perhaps the opportunity for the revitalization of Song Dynasty lies in doctors.

Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty already had a lot of factions, and it would be okay to add another party.

At that time, the medical party, the new party, and the old party will stand at the same time, and Fan Zheng's evil prescription may not be able to produce miraculous results.
