A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Queen Mother Cao suddenly asked: "Why did I hear someone say... Dalang is not knowledgeable enough?"

Gao Taotao smiled apologetically and said, "Those people are just talking nonsense."

Queen Mother Cao frowned and said, "Who are they?"

Do you want to ask this too?

Queen Mother Cao had no children, so she would inevitably spend some of her enthusiasm on Gao Taotao's children, so if she was really angry, Gao Taotao was worried that she would take action.

"They are the so-called learned people." Gao Taotao answered vaguely.

The people who said these words were so-called learned men, and would later be called great Confucians.

"Everyone is knowledgeable!" Empress Dowager Cao said calmly: "Do they know the sufferings of the people?"

Gao Taotao shook his head.

Know the yarn!

Even if you know it, pretend you don’t know it.

Empress Dowager Cao did not need her to answer, and said to herself: "Of course they know, but in their eyes, the common people are almost the same as pigs and dogs. Are the pigs and dogs living well, and do they have half a penny to do with them? "

Boom!

Zhao Shu, who was standing next to him, slapped the case and said, "Your Majesty is right, those people are like this. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and when they talk about the suffering of the people, they can burst into tears on the spot. But in a blink of an eye, the whole house is full of guests, and they look at the suffering people indifferently. They are just hypocrites." .”

He has an extreme temperament, so he hates these officials deeply.

"What can those people accomplish? Nothing can be accomplished. The only thing they can do..." He sneered: "The only thing they can do is to prevent others from doing things."

During this period of time, he had been watching with a cold eye, finally seeing clearly the nature of those people.

"Dalang spoke for the people, and he spoke in an orderly and logical manner, which made me feel that it made sense." Empress Dowager Cao said happily: "Can such a child be compared to the so-called knowledge of others? I don't think they are worthy either. teach him."

She glanced at Gao Taotao and said, "You are a mother. When you hear these words, you should go out and scold them. What do you mean by not being knowledgeable enough? I think they are the ones who are not knowledgeable enough! They have learned a lot of books. , is it useful? Can it be used? I think it is useless, not as useful as a sergeant to the Song Dynasty. Such people should be driven out. "

This aunt is so cruel!

Gao Taotao felt that having such a giant Buddha squatting in the harem made her feel even more stressed, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Queen Mother Cao stood up and said: "Of course I have nothing to do with this matter, but it was Dalang who did the last thing to abolish the Sui coins, right?"

Zhao Shu had a dark look on his face...

Zhao Xu was the one who suggested that matter, and Zhao Shu was the one who made the decision!

"yes."

But he could only nod.

"I feel that the officials are too harsh on Da Lang and lack praise."

Queen Mother Cao nodded and left.

"stop!"

Zhao Shu and his wife sent her out. As soon as they went out, they saw several servants chasing each other.

"The official saint is here, why don't you stop!" Chen Zhongheng roared angrily, and several chamberlains behind him shouted: "He stole things!"

It turned out to be to catch a thief!

Chen Zhongheng looked at the fat butler running in front and eagerly wanted to take action.

The man ran over in a panic, and the chamberlain behind him exclaimed: "Stop!"

But that person was so panicked that he didn't hear it at all.

"Protect the official saint!" Chen Zhongheng stood in front of Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao, with a loyal look on his face.

As the figure flashed, Queen Mother Cao had already gone up.

The chamberlain came with great force. Empress Dowager Cao held his shoulder with one hand and rotated her body, following his forward momentum. With just a clever move, the chamberlain turned around involuntarily.

Boom!

Fortunately, this man happened to bump into Chen Zhongheng.

Ouch!

Chen Zhongheng was knocked to the ground. When he touched his lips, his lips were swollen.

The chamberlain was held down, Chen Zhongheng stood up and looked around, and saw Empress Dowager Cao slowly walking away with her hands behind her back, her posture calm.

Just now, someone seemed to only be talking about protecting the saints of the official family, and he forgot about the Queen Mother!

Could it be that the Queen Mother did this on purpose?

…

As the saying goes, a strict father and a loving mother have been a custom for thousands of years.

Emperors are not exempt from vulgarity, so when it comes to treating children's studies, Zhao Shu always likes to take the opportunity to be cruel.

This was something that everyone liked to hear and see, and some even wished that Zhao Xu had been locked up in the palace all day.

These people probably felt that Zhao Xu's political attitude was too extreme, and they followed Fan Zhongyan's old path and wanted to implement the New Deal.

The New Deal is undesirable. Whoever wants the New Deal will be dealt with by us.

This is the sentiment of many people.

But that afternoon, news suddenly broke out in Bianliang City.

"Your Majesty proposes a law of exemption from military service by words and deeds..."

"What immunity law?"

Sima Guang was a little puzzled, but felt that this was not a good word.

The visitor said: "It is to change the service into recruitment..."

"Where's the money?" Sima Guang's first reaction was still the same.

The visitor said: "Your Majesty Wang Jianyan collects exemption money from wealthy households. Probably the richer the people, the more they will receive."

"absurd!"

Sima Guang's face was ashen and he said, "I'm going to talk to my husband. This matter... is inappropriate!"

"Sima Jianyuan is really a role model for our generation."

Sima Guang entered the imperial city all the way, and just when he walked outside the gate of the Privy Council, Shen An happened to come out of it, and beside him was Fu Bi.

"Where are Sima Jianyuan going?"

Fu Bi cupped his hands at Shen An and signaled him to get out of here.

Sima Guang said dullly: "After hearing the words and deeds of the king's proposal for exemption from military service, my subordinates thought it was inappropriate and wanted to speak to the ministers."

"What's wrong?" Shen An didn't leave and asked closer.

"Of course it's not appropriate." Sima Guang said: "Once the exemption money is released, how will the rich households be defined? I am afraid that countless rich households will collude with the officials and turn their families into poor households, and the poor households will be classified as rich households. That’s when it becomes harmful to the people.”

This guy seems to have little confidence in the integrity of local officials!

This was Sima Guang's first time using a new technique. The attack was not too powerful and was polite.

He looked at Shen An and said seriously: "You are close to the king. You must tell him that state affairs cannot be ignored and that you must be cautious. As soon as the exemption law came out, the world was shocked... The consequences are unpredictable!"

"Somewhere has tried it."

Shen An's words made Sima Guang feel cold, "Where?"

"In Xiangfu County, we tried it during the late emperor's time. Now it is very appropriate. The officials and the people live in peace with each other."

wipe!

Sima Guang is now a conservative leader, and a group of people have gathered behind him at this moment, all officials from the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall.

This is the camp.

Even if the Privy Councilor Fu Bi is here, they still have to express their political attitude.

Although there is a risk of being suppressed, the rewards are also huge!

The support from one camp is so satisfying just thinking about it.

But Shen An's words were like thunder from the sky, making them feel cold.

Have you actually tried it?

It was the late emperor who tried it when he was still alive. This was digging a hole!

The hole dug a few years ago is only being buried now. This forbearance makes people feel cold in their buttocks.

"What should the officials do with their hands?"

One of Sima Guang's tactics for opposing the new law was that officials would use their hands to violate the law.

Later, Wang Anshi's new law was completely criticized by him. In a word, the officials below are using Wang Anshi's new law to abuse the people and suck blood!

Shen An suddenly remembered this attitude, and then asked: "You know that officials use their hands to do things, so why don't you think about how to stop them from doing things?"

Sima Guang was stunned.

These people specialize in picking thorns. I don’t want to talk about the background reasons for picking thorns, but they only pick thorns and never think about how to break the thorn.

What's this?

Censor?

Will the Censor of Nima also give advice on how to deal with the problem?

Shen An's question immediately stopped Sima Guang.

It's not okay for you to just beep like this all day long, that's not good, but what did you do?

You only know how to find faults in other people's affairs, but why don't you find a way to cut off those thorns?

If you don't want to solve the problem, whoever wants to solve the problem should be solved.

Whose theory is this?

Whenever Sima Guang talked about state affairs, he would definitely mention farming matters, that is, the difficulties of farmers.

When he talked about the difficulties of farmers, he really showed his true feelings.

But has the problem been solved?

No!

Not even a hair is given to those farmers!

He repeatedly mentioned the importance of storing food, and made impassioned speeches when encountering disasters, asking for immediate disaster relief...

What about constructive comments?

As an important minister of the Song Dynasty, what are your constructive opinions?

Shen An felt that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were like the eldest and second eldest son of the same family.

The boss said that there are people outside who want to take away our family property, and our family must deal with them.

Well, we need money, food, and training to deal with them, and we need to make money.

But the second child thinks that we can just stay at home and guard, and defend ourselves when outsiders come. As for making money...it's better to save money. Save the money every month. It can be used when the family is short of money.

One is progressive and the other is conservative.

At this moment, Shen An suddenly felt sad for Wang Anshi.

His opponents turned out to be such a group of people. This group of people did not want to fix the omissions or help him make up for the mistakes of the New Deal. Instead, they attacked, uninterrupted attacks.

Why don't you stop?

If you don't stop, you will be infamy for eternity!

And where are the roots?

Shen An suddenly understood.

The root cause is that they don’t want to change the status quo at all!

They just want to maintain the status quo and kill anyone who wants to change it.

When he looked at Sima Guang, he felt that he was looking at a huge conservative group.

This group is a vested interest in the current system of the Song Dynasty. They hope that the Song Dynasty will continue to operate on its current trajectory. As for the future...

It's none of my business from now on!

After I die, I won’t care about the floods!

Shen An shook his head and said: "The king proposed to increase the number of censors, and put two censors in each mansion...rotate the positions every year..."

Damn it!

Sima Guang's cheeks trembled.

This is a trap for everyone!

The key is……

The key point is that the king seems to be using the exemption law as an excuse and directly using more censors as a means to break the current administrative dilemma.

Damn it!

What a big game of chess!

Shen An asked: "Do you still have any doubts about Sima Jianyuan? I will be very happy to help you clear up your doubts."

Sima Guang shook his head blankly.

What else can you ask?

Collecting money from rich households is a blatant act of robbing the rich to give to the poor. If you object, then your butt will be crooked. From now on, if you say that the people are pitiful, others will accuse you of being hypocritical and a hypocrite.

You said that officials would take advantage of the opportunity to do evil, and the king proposed to use censors to monitor the world.

He even thought that the censor would be bribed, so he proposed a rotation every year.

What else can you do?

Sima Guang turned around.

Everyone behind him was silent. UU read www.uukanshu.net

They were actually rendered speechless by a young prince.

Fu Bi stood on the side and watched this scene. He couldn't help being extremely happy and shouted: "I want to drink at noon, so I went to buy some good wine."

Damn it!

Drinking at noon is a clear dereliction of duty!

But no one objected, Fu Bi said to Shen An: "I heard that your sister is cute, I will write some words later, and you can use it to make a copybook for her."

Everyone in the capital knew that Shen An used Guo Guo as an excuse to ask for calligraphy and paintings, but it was a classy thing, so they laughed it off.

Shen An was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Prime Minister."
