The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 19

Regardless of whether Jia Sidao is one of the four traitors in the Southern Song Dynasty, this sentence is very reasonable.

Although Ma, Chen and others are upright and well-read, they don't have much practical ability in governing the country. The principle they believe in is that the advice of treacherous ministers must be treacherous, and they should be refuted. I oppose treacherous ministers, and I am loyal ministers.

These scholars would rather spend all their time on how to be loyal ministers than do some practical things.

The social atmosphere is like this, and so are the habits of scholars for thousands of years.

As long as people do things, they will make mistakes.

People who talk are not easy to make mistakes, and most people who talk like to find fault with others.

The public land law is also quite controversial in later generations. Jia Sidao is like Tang Quixote in this era. He challenged the waterwheel with a spear. He challenged the mature feudal private ownership of land, although Jia Sidao has great power , but he was not the emperor after all. Except for a few reformers who succeeded with the firm support of the emperor, most of the reformers in history became martyrs. Fa out of shape, and thus failed.

Economic reform must be supplemented by political reform, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed.

From the perspective of the public land law alone, I am still biased towards Jia Sidao's side.

"Ma Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, I will review the memorials you submitted in detail and think carefully after I go back. I understand this matter in my heart. You can put forward your own different views on the public land law, but until there is no new policy, continue to follow the original policy. Implementation, teachers and ministers, you are still fully responsible for the public land law. You need to supervise the problems encountered in the implementation of the public land law. Don’t let some people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loopholes and affect the harmony between our ministers and ministers. I pay taxes."

"Your Majesty is relieved, I will take care of it." Jia Sidao regained his indifferent expression.

"This matter will not be reviewed again." I didn't give them room to continue talking, so I changed the subject and said, "Jiang Wanli."

"The minister is here." An old man in his 60s came out and replied.

"Jiang Aiqing, you have worked so hard all the way back to Lin'an. You were supposed to let the old Aiqing rest for a few days, but there are many affairs in the court. I have just been enthroned, and I need you to take office immediately. I will appoint you as a co-prefect first. Privy Council affairs, concurrently participating in political affairs."

Jiang Wanli kowtowed and was waiting to thank him, but he heard Jia Sidao's objection: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang has just returned to the capital, and he is a little unfamiliar with the affairs of the court. I suggest that Mr. Jiang be familiar with the affairs of the court before taking office."

I looked at Jia Sidao, feeling a little angry in my heart, knowing that the Privy Council was covered by Jia Sidao, so I was naturally unwilling to accept an influential opponent.I thought about it for a while, and felt that I was too hasty in this matter. Although Jiang Wanli was indeed in charge of the Privy Council in history, but I, the emperor, has changed. How can I know that history will not change?I held back my anger and said: "The teacher's words are justified, Jiang Aiqing, I will appoint you as the supervisory censor, first familiarize yourself with the affairs of the court and then make other arrangements."

"Old minister Jiang Wanli, I thank the emperor for his grace. I must act according to His Majesty's will." Jiang Wanli kowtowed.

This Jiang Wanli is an old man who is nearly seventy years old. He is upright and upright. Twenty years ago, he was excluded because of the impeachment of the vassal sect.Later, Jia Sidao became a prime minister, and Jiang Wanli entered the court at the same time as the Imperial Academy to sacrifice and study.In the first year of Jingding (20), he was moved to be the minister of the Ministry of punishment.Soon, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of officials.In the following year (1260), he moved to the Duanming Palace as a bachelor, and signed a letter to the Privy Council member and guest of the prince.

The prince's guest, the official name, was set up in the Tang Dynasty.As an official of the Prince's East Palace, he is in charge of regulating, protecting, serving, admonishing, etc., which is a idle job.

When he was the prince's guest in Jiang Wanli, Zhao Yu, who was the prince, met him, although he didn't have much contact with him.

It is precisely because of Jiang Wanli's upright nature that Jia Sidao gradually distanced himself from him because he could not remain silent in the face of the situation.Jia Sidao hated his indiscretion, lack of prudence in his words, and often angered Jia Sidao, so he couldn't stay in his position for a long time every time.

Now, the power I give him is to supervise the censor, say anything that can be said, and forgive him without guilt.

Jiang Wanli has been in politics for decades. He has a lot of qualifications and a long history of family education. Even Wen Tianxiang is his second disciple. He is upright and has an excellent reputation in the court. Can you challenge Jia Sidao?And he has a good relationship with Xie Daoqing's faction, so it can be used as a buffer zone between me and Jia Sidao, and even between me and Xie Daoqing.

Once I can fully control the government, this Jiang Wanli is the first Minister of Education in my mind.

As an academy educator, Jiang Wanli has made remarkable achievements.He successively founded three academies including Bailuzhou Academy, Daoyuan Academy, and Zonglian Jingshe. Even when he was demoted, he was invited to give lectures at Shigu Temple in Yi County, Anhui.Jiang Wanli rewarded talents all his life, and cultivated a group of outstanding people represented by Wen Tianxiang. In addition, Liu Nanpu, Liu Chenweng, Ouyang Shoudao, Deng Guangjian, etc. were all his students.

Since private schools are so excellent, why not entrust the learning of the world to him?

"That's a good idea." I praised myself.

This is the biggest advantage of me as a time traveler. Most of the people, virtues, and abilities of the ancients have been dissected in detail by later generations. Of course, the moisture in it will increase with the passage of history.

Just like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms described him as a narrow-minded person. Almost everyone in later generations thinks so, and the original truth disappears in the long river of history.

I looked at the courtiers below and continued, "Wen Tianxiang."

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to be in charge of the weapons supervisor and the storyteller of the Chongzheng Hall, and you will take office immediately."

"The minister obeys the order."

The law on public land is handled by Jia Sidao alone. Whether it is public or private, Jia Sidao will not let go easily. In this matter, I don’t think there is a big problem with the law on public land. The problem only lies in the political system of the Southern Song Dynasty. The public land law is indeed useful, temporarily relieving the state treasury's financial constraints. If so, of course I will sell Jia Sidao's face.

As for the supervisory censor, the official position of the weapon supervisor is not high, and the power is not great, and the new emperor usually likes to reward generously when he takes office, so Jia Sidao also acquiesced to some insignificant matters.

Politics is a transaction, the distribution of interests among various forces, and the coexistence of mutual acquisition and compromise.

"Your Majesty, I still have this performance." Ma Tingluan said again.

"Ma Aiqing, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, one more month will be the beginning of the new year. According to the etiquette system of our dynasty, the current Jingding reign will stop at the end of December. Another reign should be adopted. The ministers and others can discuss that the name can be named Xianchun. Your Majesty please decide."

"Xianchun? This name is not bad. I will make a decision at the next court meeting after I carefully consider it. Now there is a vacancy for the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Aiqing, you are temporarily in charge of this matter as the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Prepare three year names for the court meeting to choose. Other matters can be prepared in advance according to the original etiquette system."

"Xianchun's year name really hasn't changed." I thought to myself, it seems that history is still running along its track.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister must do his best." Ma Tingluan replied.

Ma Tingluan is not an idiot either, so he naturally heard something in my words, if the matter of the year name is done to the emperor's satisfaction, maybe he can be promoted to the post of minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"En." I then said to Wen Tianxiang, "Wen Aiqing, I heard that there are many new gunpowder fireworks in the Gunpowder Department of the Weapons Supervision. Take a look around, you have two days to complete the preparations."

"The minister obeys the order."

"It seems that Zhao Xuan is still showing his nature of wanting to play." All the ministers in the court who knew Zhao Xuan thought at the same time.

"Once the novelty of Zhao Yu being emperor is over, he will regain his temperament as a prince. Human nature is hard to change. I am not in charge of this court." Jia Sidao thought to himself, but the expression on his face remained the same.
