The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 385 Xixia: Important land! Sima Niu: Give it to me!

Han Dynasty Lingdi Period
Liu Hong lay on the couch with his head supported by one hand.

"Sima Guang is quite talkative."

First, it affirms the policies of Emperor Shenzong, and second, the officials promoted by the new law are all people without moral integrity.

Finally, the tone of abolishing the new law was determined with an attitude of breaking through the old and establishing the new.

"This mouth, tsk tsk ..."

This noon court session was obviously a show.

This scene gave Sima Guang power that surpassed all other ministers.

Just like Wang Anshi seventeen years ago.

In the past, all the ministers followed Wang Anshi's lead, but today, all the ministers follow his lead.

After a circle, the roles changed.

Looking outside, I saw a group of ministers discussing important matters there.

Liu Hong curled his lips and picked a grape from the fruit plate in front of his chest and put it in his mouth.

I don’t have to worry about anything… I’m still a little uncomfortable with this.

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Zhuge Liang and said hesitantly:
"Father, I remember that Sima Guang totally rejected the reform, right?"

"He has rejected the reform since he came to power...Won't the court's laws be changed every day?"

"Isn't this of any benefit to the country?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan with relief and confusion.

I am glad that the emperor finally learned to think.

Are you wondering why the emperor has made such rapid progress?
Is this a sign of learning enlightenment?

Thanks to Tianmu!

Zhuge Liang collected his thoughts and sighed:

"Judging from how impatient he is, this new law cannot be preserved."

"With this new law going up and down, I'm afraid the party struggle will continue to expand."

……

[The New Law School quoted Confucius' words: "If a man does not change his father's ways for three years, he can be called filial."]

Sima Guang separated Emperor Shenzong from Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, saying that the new laws were all made by Wang and Lu, and at the same time emphasized that Empress Dowager Gao "changed the son by the mother, not the father by the son"]

……

Datang.

"What a self-deception."

Li Yuan felt that he had learned something new.

"The mouth of a scholar."

The living talk about death, and the dead talk about life!
……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
"To change the mother to the son..."

Li Zhi forced himself to remain rational.

It is obvious that these four words were addressed to Empress Dowager Gao.

Maybe this is exactly what Empress Dowager Gao wants.

But this ultimately circumvents the literal meaning of replacing the father with the son, and it does not make sense from the perspective of imperial succession, because the one who inherited the throne was the son of Emperor Shenzong, not Empress Dowager Gao.

After this son takes power, if he is dissatisfied with the empress dowager or the ministers in the court.

This sentence is an excuse for rebellion.

"As expected, he is the one who can confront Wang Anshi head-on."

"They are all impatient and don't think about the consequences."

……

[In 1085, in July of the year when Emperor Shenzong died, the first thing to be abolished was the Baojia system.]

[In November, the equal taxation system for square fields was abolished.]

[In December, the Market Exchange Law and the Horse Protection Law were also abolished.]

[In 1086, the first year of Yuanyou, in March, Sima Guang required all prefectures and counties to abolish the corvée law within five days.]

[Wang Anshi, who was living in seclusion in Jiangning, was shocked when he heard this.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji licked his lips and was speechless.

These two people...

……

Later Tang Dynasty: Mingzong Period
Li Siyuan touched his thick chin flesh, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Too urgent."

"Why are the emperor and his subjects all so anxious?"

"Manager Xu Xu, this is a good idea."

"Besides, we can't treat them all the same, right?"

Why are you people in the Song Dynasty so extreme?
……

Song Shenzong Period
Zhao Xu put away the "Star"

A pair of sword-like eyebrows were raised.

"Sima Junshi..."

Have you finished your history book?
You have no idea why I banished you to Xijing to be the Imperial Censor in Taiwan, right?
……

{This law is quite controversial, and people in the same camp are actually against the recall law.}
{Fan Chunren: "If you carefully consider this method and proceed slowly, there will be no disturbance. If you proceed quickly, you will be careless and cause disturbance. If you entrust it to the wrong person, the disturbance will be even greater."}
{Su Shi: "Both corvée and exemption have their own advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of exemption is that the upper class accumulates wealth, while the lower class suffers from financial famine. The disadvantage of corvée is that the people are always in office and cannot concentrate on farming, and the officials take advantage of this to commit crimes."}
{Su Shi and others thought that it could be modified and retained, but Sima Guang was totally negative and could not be persuaded after repeated discussions. Su Shi was so angry that he nicknamed Sima Guang "Sima Niu"}
{Then he offended Sima Guang.}
{Su Shi was relatively objective in his approach to things, but unfortunately both sides thought he was a fence-sitter.}
{After all, he had been a real farmer for two years, so he had more say in the new law than Sima Guang, who had lived in Luoyang for fifteen years.}
……

On the canopy.

The young emperor looked at His Highness.

Below, the Western Xia envoy bowed slightly.

"The King of Western Xia is here to see the Emperor of the Great Song." "Greetings to His Majesty the Great Song."

A woman's voice came from under the curtain behind him.

"You have now pledged your loyalty and paid tribute, what reward do you seek?"

The Xixia envoy and his followers exchanged a glance, then looked around, feeling insecure:
"Return the Song Dynasty soldiers and ask for the five places including Lanzhou and Mizhi that we have obtained from the country."

As soon as these words came out, the little emperor sitting on the seat almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

There were also a few sneers from the ministers on both sides.

The Song Dynasty lost hundreds of thousands of people before it reached out to the territory of Western Xia. Now you want us to cut off our hands just because you bow your head, admit your mistake, and just touch your lips?

Daydreaming!

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what Xia Guo said makes sense."

The hall was silent.

The little emperor, whose eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling, suddenly froze and his smile faded.

A pair of phoenix eyes stared at the old minister who stepped out of the line.

The aging Sima Guang looked at the steps of the stage, and his hoarse voice made the Western Xia envoys unable to help but smile.

"The battle of Lingxia was originally started by our dynasty. Several newly opened tracts of land are all their farmland."

"The relationship between Song and Xia, every time I think about it, I feel chilled all night long."

"The solution is to abolish the villages of Mizhi, Yihe, Futu, Jialu, Wubao and Anjiang."

"Order that the two states of Yan and Qing be completely destroyed and withdrawn, and that all the former territories of the Yuan Dynasty, except for the territories of the Song Dynasty, be returned to the Xia Kingdom."

"Your Majesty! Anyone who makes such a suggestion can be executed!"

Zhang Dun took a big step forward, glared at Sima Guang and said:
"Mizhi and other forts are defended by the frontier soldiers with one heart! How can we abandon them so easily?!"

Sima Guang glanced at him and said coldly:

"Some of the ministers still see the small and forget the big, they keep the near and neglect the far, it's a pity that this is a useless place."

Zhang Dun's face turned red with anger, but he didn't wait to say anything.

Dozens of ministers bowed and saluted, saying in a long voice:
"May Your Majesty! Queen Mother! Put the country first!"

"Don't begrudge this useless place."

The rest of the ministers stood in the court, looking at each other in confusion.

Zhao Xu looked at the group of people carefully.

Then he stared at Sima Guang motionlessly.

Behind the curtain.

"Just follow what you said, sir."

The Western Xia envoy was overjoyed when he heard this. After performing a cross-arm salute, he raised his head and looked upward.

provocatively:
"I only know what Sima Xianggong said."

"It turns out that the Emperor Shenzong knew he was wrong a long time ago."

There was a "bang" sound!

Zhao Xu slammed the table and stood up!

However, the group of ministers remained silent.

……

[In June, Xixia sent envoys to request that Lanzhou, Mizhi and other villages be ceded to Xixia.]

[The Song court debated endlessly, with most ministers opposing the cession. Only a few people, such as Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, and Su Che, supported the abandonment of the land.]

【Due to the yielding attitude of Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and other ruling figures, when Emperor Zhezong met with the Xixia envoys in July, the Xixia envoys even said: "Emperor Shenzong knew he was wrong" and "Emperor Zhezong stood up, changed color, and was angry for a long time."】

[In the end, it was rejected because abandoning Lanzhou would easily threaten Guanzhong. ]

[Lanzhou remained, and the Western Xia released the 200,000 Song Dynasty border residents they had captured. The four cities of Futu, Anqiang, Jialu, and Mizhi were ceded to the Western Xia.]

【At the same time, the annual tribute remains the same. 】

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng was wiping the sword in his hand.

Looking at the ceded city in the sky, he laughed out loud:

"If Confucius could see his disciples ceding land and seeking peace with the barbarians."

"It's possible that the person he killed might not be Shao Zhengmao."

"Guo Kai is even worse than that."

……

Big man.

Liu Bang threw pieces of meat into his mouth, puzzled.

"I just don't understand what these people are thinking."
