I studied in modern times

Chapter 97
It's different from Wen Yanbo.

Han Jiang heard some implication.

He remembered very clearly that the two poems quoted by the young master were at the end.

King Cheng said this: For the emperor, follow the preface and never forget it!
I dare not forget the great achievements of the late kings. Before the spirit of the late kings, I swear to inherit and carry forward them!

King Cheng vowed to inherit and carry forward the cause of King Wu.

Where is the young master?
Does he also want to inherit and carry forward the unfinished business of the Emperor Daxing?

The most important thing is that Han Jiang watched carefully just now, the young master looked at the two palaces behind the curtain before speaking.

So, this is what the two palaces taught the young master?
Want the young master to inherit the cause of Emperor Daxing and carry it forward?

Think of all the legends heard along the way.

Especially in the case of Li Ding a few days ago, in the hall of Zichen Hall, the words of the young master's angry rebuke, and the words of the two palaces.

With such thoughts in mind, Han Jiang carefully considered the words, and then she said: "The old minister thought that the great achievements of the emperor are admired by the world. In the past 19 years since he came to the court, he has benefited the world. Scholars, use classics to select people, use legal principles to check officials..."

"Today, His Majesty the Emperor ascended the Great Treasure for the first time, the Empress Dowager first listened to the great government, and the Empress Dowager first served in the army. Instead of asking the old ministers for their pedantic demeanor and degraded morality, they asked the old ministers about the military and the country. The old ministers are ignorant and would like to tell you..."

So, speaking freely, he told all the things he experienced during the ten years abroad.

Hearing Ninomiya nodding from time to time.

It also made Zhao Xu feel very satisfied when he listened.

Because this is the first-hand intuitive information brought back from a place that has been known as a prime minister for more than ten years, and has served as a senior official in Dengzhou, Xuzhou, Heyang, Daming Mansion, and Henan Mansion.

It is also because of Han Jiang's ability to do things that the ruling and opposition parties have recognized that Han Jiang, apart from not being able to lead troops to fight, is considered to be comparable to the rich Bi Fu Han Gong in his ability in civil affairs.

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, there was heavy rain in Henan, and the Yellow River broke its embankment.

It was Han Jiang who commanded the army and the people to build new dikes, and at the same time opened warehouses for disaster relief to help the victims tide over the crisis.

After the new embankment was built, within a few months, the flood came again. The embankment built by Han Jiang withstood the test of the flood and was safe and sound.

Therefore, Han Jiang was supported by the people of Henan Province.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, when Yuan Youchu and Han Jiang were in charge of the Daming Mansion, it was he who personally inspected the local embankment, resolutely rejected the blind command of the capital water supervisor, and adopted the correct method to lead the local army and civilians. , Withstood the violent invasion of the flood that year.

Therefore, although Zhao Xuming knew that Han Jiang must have stuffed his own private goods and political intentions in these matters.

But he was still full of admiration - in this world, where are there ministers who don't bring their own political intentions and private goods?

It would be nice to have someone who is willing to do things and knows how to do things, and I should be content.

But Wen Yanbo, who was listening on the sidelines, became more and more wrong the more he listened.

Because of what Han Jiang said, although he pointed out many problems and disadvantages of the new law in practice.

But he also said a lot of good things about the new law.

In particular, the exemption law and the exemption law were praised by Han Jiang as "eternal virtuous government", which only needs to be "slightly modified to eliminate its harm" and can be "applied to hundreds of generations and used as a successful law".

Hearing Wen Yanbo's temples throbbing.

Unfortunately, Wen Yanbo himself has been serving as an official for many years.

Want to refute, but can not come up with appropriate rhetoric and specific cases.

Besides, now that Han Jiang is talking, it would be rude for him to interrupt rashly.

Therefore, he could only listen while thinking about the loopholes Han Jiang said in his heart.

Han Jiang was speaking eloquently, and after nearly two quarters of an hour, he finally ended his speech, held his fluoren, and said: "Therefore, in the humble opinion of the old minister, the politics of the world today lies in the haste of the rulers and in the governance. Those who venture into..."

"Emperor Daxing, who is skilled in martial arts and wise, knew this disadvantage early on, so he taught the young master with his virtue..."

"Now, His Majesty the Emperor, who first ascended the Great Treasure, stopped the market to change the law and went to the embankment to live with the people and share the benefits with the people. It is really a blessing for the world!"

"The veteran is stupid, thinking that the current government should follow the will of Emperor Daxing, use the old man who seeks the country, eliminate the impetuous and aggressive, and take the time to advance aggressively..."

"The poem goes: like cutting, learning, cutting, grinding..."

"It's not just a gentleman, knowledge should be pondered and compared to learn from each other, so that it can last for a long time, and the same is true for state affairs!"

After Han Jiang finished speaking, she stood there respectfully.

The two palaces behind the curtain did not respond for a long time.

They are all digesting the shock that Han Jiang just said!
Han Jiang's advice was the first time the two palaces had heard it in the past ten years.

In the past, people around them told them that the new law was useless and that the new law harmed the people.

Han Jiang was the first to say that the new law also has some merits.

Especially the immunity law and the immunity law.

But it was difficult for the two palaces to accept this novel perspective for a while.

reason?It's easy!
The Empress Dowager Xiang was impeached by the officials because her father, Xiang Jing, was impeached by the officials because of the enforcement of the Exemption Act that came with the Municipal Change Act, and was forced to leave Zhiqingzhou and died in other places.

This made it impossible for her to have a good impression of Mian Xing Fa.

However, what Han Jiang said had some truth.

In particular, the identity of the Queen Mother has now changed.

She is no longer the Queen Xiang who has no son.

Now, her son is the master of this world.

Therefore, once the identity changes, the angle of view of the problem will also be different.

In the past, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the law of exempting from practice was completely evil.

Don't let others say good things about exempting the law in front of her, even if she mentions it, she may get angry.

As for the empress dowager, she was a little unhappy mainly because Han Jiang said something about the immunity law.

Exemption Law The Exemption Law, as the name suggests, is to exempt the people from the past corvee and replace it with taxes.

But the problem is that the Song Dynasty's method of service is different.

In the Jiayou era in the past, only the people with the most wealth in the county, that is, the fifth-class households, were required to serve in the military - of course, the official households were not included.

Other than that, no military service is required.

After the implementation of the Exemption Law, everyone, including government households, monks, and single female households who did not need to serve in the past, will have to pay.

Many foreign relatives, especially the relatives of the Gao family, have come to the Empress Dowager to complain about their hardships-it's not that the Gao family lacks the exemption money.

The problem is, it's embarrassing!

The majestic relatives actually have to pay taxes like Tsoda!
Has there been such a thing for thousands of years?

The same is true for exemptions.

However, what Han Jiang said, especially the way Han Jiang spoke, made the empress dowager hesitate again.

Because Han Jiang used the tone and method of speaking and doing things that she liked and was most familiar with during the Jiayou era.

Take your time and take your time.

Let's clear things up first.

When can you figure it out?
Investigation, implementation, and discussion will take a year or so.

So, after being silent for a while, she finally spoke.

"What Mr. Han said, the old man and the empress dowager will carefully consider..."

"Please also, Mr. Xiang, write down all the words you said, and submit them to the palace..."

Han Jiang held fluoren and bowed again: "Wei!"

At this time, Wen Yanbo stood up.

"Empress Dowager..." This old official, although he is almost 80 years old, still speaks loudly: "This old official thinks that what Han Jiang said is really full of evil intentions..."

As a veteran specially selected by Emperor Daxing during the Xining Reform Era, he was placed in the court to check and balance Wang Anshi.

Even Wen Yanbo has been in office for a long time.

But his understanding and cognition of the new law is something that all the old parties do not have.

Wen Yanbo will inevitably sing a different tune and strongly oppose the introduction of almost every new law.

In the court hall, between coming and going with Wang Anshi, naturally he also knew the origin of those laws.

For example, the Green Crop Method was promoted by Li Shen on Shanxi Road.

When Wang Anshi implemented it, Li Shen had already died.

The Art of War is completely plagiarized from the experiments of Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Kang in Shaanxi.

The market exchange method was invented by Lu Jiawen.

As for the law of immunity and the law of exemption...

Wen Yanbo looked at Han Jiang with scrutiny with his old eyes.

"The old minister is ignorant and died to play the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor..."

"The so-called exemption method, the initiator is the one who is in the palace now..."

Shocking!

When the two palaces behind the curtain heard this, their eyes changed.

He looked at Han Jiang with scrutiny.

ok...

It was you who initiated it!

No wonder you want to say good things!

Wen Yanbo continued: "If the old minister remembers correctly, it was during the Zhihe period of Renmiao that Han Jiang and Cai Xiang started to change the law of slavery with the five laws of rural households. "

At this moment, Wen Yanbo completely forgot how he praised Han Jiang and Cai Xiang's proposal back then.

He even forgot that he once praised Han Jiang's method of "equalizing bitterness and joy" in front of Renmiao.

Because Wen Yanbo is very clear.

You can't reason in court, and don't debate.

Anyway, the two palaces don't know anything about Yaqian service, let alone the changes in the world's fiscal and taxation systems since the mid-Tang Dynasty, and they don't understand the history of changes in service laws since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

The young master is small and young.

So, as long as he puts his hat on, what else can Han Jiang do?

If he couldn't argue, he could only obediently bow his head and admit defeat—in order not to ruin his reputation, he took the initiative to avoid his position.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo made persistent efforts and continued to hold fluoren and said: "In the fourth year of Zhiping, when Wang Anshi had not yet entered Beijing, it was Han Jiang and Han Zihua who first advocated for service money before the king!"

"Therefore, after Wang Anshi entered Beijing, in order to repay Han Jiang's recommendation, he also proposed to change the military law!"

Wen Yanbo looked at Han Jiang viciously while playing.

He knew Han Jiang's weakness - not good at debating.

Moreover, Wen Yanbo also knew that as long as he forced Han Jiang to argue with him, even if Han Jiang won, he would definitely lose!
Because in the debate in front of you, the winner or loser is never determined by whoever is reasonable, but whoever says something that caters to the king's wishes.

Didn't you see that just now, after Han Jiang's performance, the two palaces were silent for so long?
This shows that what Han Jiang said must not be in line with the two palaces.

so……

Wen Yanbo became proud.

"Han Zihua, you shouldn't be in Beijing!"

"Be obedient and go back to Luoyang to drink and have fun together with the old man, wouldn't it be fun?!"
