A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The work of Zhizhigao is not much, let alone tiring.

To be responsible for making imperial edicts, one must first have outstanding literary talent, which is similar to that of a pavilion.

Zhizhigao is often an opportunity for officials to climb up. If they seize the opportunity, they will rise rapidly.

In other words, Zhizhigao is actually a position for officials to observe officials.

You are a cow or a horse, just pull it out and run around.

The officials were watching from the side.

No, there is also Zaisu.

The relationship between Zhizhigao and Zaifu is also very close. If you say they are subordinates, it doesn't matter. If you say they are not, there are many overlapping and ambiguous positions.

For example, if the prime minister is dissatisfied with the official's decision, then Zhizhigao comes in handy.

Give back the prefix!

This is equivalent to slapping an official in the face!

Most people don't dare to do this, so returning the prefix has become a legend for a long time.

At the small court meeting, Han Qi mentioned what happened yesterday.

"Your Majesty, according to what Yang Jingan said, Yizhou Road is troubled by Jiaozi and iron money. As soon as the banknotes came out, the crowd was excited, and everyone wanted to use paper money to replace the heavy iron money."

"I think this is feasible."

Zeng Gongliang glanced at the key points he recorded on the wat board last night and said: "I have seen iron money. It is indeed clumsy, and iron money will rust, which is very troublesome. Compared with paper money, iron money should certainly be discarded. ."

"Yang Jingan said that the people have been suffering from iron money for a long time. Every time he goes to check on the public sentiment, there are people complaining about why the banknotes have not come, making them suffer."

Ouyang Xiu also did a lot of homework.

But all homework is based on a foundation.

Yang Jingan’s words!

The transshipment envoy is a prince or a high official in the border area.

What such a big boss says is certainly worthy of trust.

The same will be true for Wang Anshi's reforms in the future. When the Green Crops Law was implemented, everyone said it was a good policy at first, but as soon as those officials got involved, it immediately became a bad law that deceived people. But those officials reported good news but not bad news. They only said that the Green Crops Law would benefit the people, and the people were cheering!

so good?

So Lao Wang, who was in power, discussed with Zhao Xu that this official was effective in implementing the new law, so he should be promoted to an official.

Look, if you report good things but not bad things, promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

So everyone followed suit, until the situation below was filled with smoke and smoke. Finally, the opposition seized the opportunity and launched an attack. Lao Wang was defeated and Zhao Xu was dejected.

Zhao Shu nodded, "Issuing banknotes is a national policy and has many benefits for the Song Dynasty. However, Shen An always said to be cautious. No matter how cautious he is, that man is young and impulsive in doing things, but he is more cautious on this matter... than Han Qing. Just be cautious."

Is Han Qi cautious?

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Han Qi smiled and said: "Of course I am cautious, Shen An... I think he is a bit timid in doing things."

"Yes!" Zhao Shu said happily: "When the banknotes are distributed, they are exchanged for copper coins. Those copper coins are stored in the Song Dynasty Bank, and there are profits every month. The profits are gradually increasing. Han Jiang said that by the end of the year If we withdraw all those earnings, we will have no problem meeting the expenses at the end of the year.”

He said happily: "Shen An established this bank, and now it seems to be very good. The people have a place to borrow money, and the three companies have benefited. It kills two birds with one stone."

Now the bank is planning to open new branches, and its personnel are still being trained.

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, can Yang Jingan's visit to Beijing be rejected?"

Zhao Shu nodded, "The promotion of banknotes is the top priority of local officials. Anyone who knows this will not be a mediocre official. Such people are rare. It happens that the Privy Council has a vacancy for a deputy envoy to draft an edict. Yizhou Road Transfer Envoy Yang Jingan returned to Beijing and served as Deputy Privy Envoy."

Han Qi nodded, Zeng Gongliang and others nodded.

If both monarch and ministers agree, then the matter is finalized.

Someone immediately went to find Wang Anshi.

"The officials have their will."

"Say it."

Someone was grinding ink, while Wang Anshi was concentrating.

The official decree is just one sentence, which is called the prefix. I give you Wang Anshi the prefix. Based on this sentence, you have to draw up a graceful edict. This is the duty of Zhizhigao.

Therefore, when the emperor talks about a decree with great splendor, most of it is fabricated, that is, bragging, fake. In fact, the decree is mostly drawn up by those Zhongshushe and Zhizhigao.

"By official order, Yizhou Road Transfer Envoy Yang Jing'an returned to Beijing and served as Deputy Privy Envoy."

Okay, this is the prefix, and the rest is Wang Anshi's job.

The visitor looked at Wang Anshi and saw that he was not moving with his pen, so he thought he was thinking about his words and couldn't help but praise to the people around him: "He is indeed a steady person."

Ink gradually accumulated on the tip of the pen, and Wang Anshi suddenly asked: "Are the officials planning to abolish iron money on Yizhou Road?"

The visitor nodded, "Yes, the document will be sent to Yizhou Road with the decree later."

Wang Anshi felt hot all over, and he remembered his son's words.

No one in the world can match Shen An's views on banknotes. From his caution in issuing banknotes, we can see the seriousness of this matter. Once there is bias, the consequences will be disastrous.

yes!

Since the release of Jiaozi on Yizhou Road, it has continued to experience ups and downs. Finally, after many years of hard work, it found a pattern and gradually stabilized.

Shen An was in charge of the issuance of banknotes, slowly step by step. Later, he got the help of a bank, and then he dared to slowly let go of the issuance of banknotes.

At this moment, Wang Anshi was at war between heaven and man.

Naturally, his son will not harm him, but this matter is important!

No one has returned the word for many years. If he does it today, Bianliang will be shaken.

Shen An!

Wang Anshi thought of Shen An.

My son went out last night and didn't come back until early in the morning.

Where has he gone?

Wang Anshi knew that he had gone to the Shen family almost without thinking.

Then Shen An must know about this.

If Shen An knew about it but didn't stop it, it proves that this matter cannot be done.

Moreover, his son also brought news that Yang Jingan was good at flattering people and had always wanted to be transferred back to Bianliang.

If an official wants to return to Beijing to serve and be promoted, he must have political achievements.

Successful promotion of banknotes is a political achievement.

This is the result of Wang Yu's reasoning.

Do it or not?

Reasoning is reasoning. Once something goes wrong, Wang Anshi can only ask himself to get out.

You slapped the official family in the face and still want to stay in the capital?

no way!

He had always wanted to work somewhere, but he didn't want to hang out in a shady place in a way that was close to being distributed.

So he hesitated.

The visitor asked in surprise: "Scholar Wang?"

Have you been thinking about this for too long?

People on the side also felt a little strange. Some even laughed and said: "Someone thought of an article."

These words imply that I have already thought about how to write this edict. What is Lao Wang doing?

But no one dared to question Wang Anshi's talent and learning.

So they just find it strange.

Wang Anshi suddenly put down his pen, then sat down and said, "Tell the officials that iron money cannot be wasted suddenly. Yang Jingan's move must be emotionally flawed. I dare not write an edict, so please return the prefix."

Boom!

There seemed to be a thunderbolt in the duty room.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Pay back the prefix?

How long has it been since the Song Dynasty had something like this?

When was the last time you paid back the prefix?

It must have been the time of the late Emperor.

During the reign of the late emperor Zhao Zhen, there were several cases of returning the word heads, and it was Fu Bi who started them.

However, most of the prefixes for "return" involve positions in the inner palace and positions of foreign relatives.

In other words, everyone is paying back the prefix to the official himself, and he is not allowed to have a say in the palace.

But for foreign dynasties and for serious government affairs, there is no precedent for returning the prefix.

Today, Wang Anshi's faint sentence of "return" is horrifying.

problem occurs.

Something big happened!

The visitor panicked and said, "Scholar Wang, would you like to think about this again? It's better to make a plan!"

It doesn’t matter if you, Mr. Wang, hand over the prefix, someone will be implicated too!

Wang Anshi shook his head, and several officials on duty also advised: "It is better to consider this matter in the long run. Scholar Wang should draft the decree first."

Boss, this shot of yours is going to shock Bianliang!

Change it quickly.

Wang Anshi sat down and picked up the tea cup. At this moment, he no longer had to worry about gains and losses.

Success or failure, I don’t care!

The visitor tried hard to persuade him for a long time, until someone outside asked: "Where is the will? Can you get it?"

The matter could no longer be concealed and was immediately reported to Zhao Shu.

"What?"

Zhao Shu blinked his eyes, feeling that he might have heard wrongly.

"Your Majesty, Wang Anshi returns the prefix."

Zhao Shu felt his face hurt, "Why?"

"He said that iron money cannot be abolished suddenly. Yang Jingan's move must have some emotional consequences!"

"Love cheating?"

Zhao Shu said with a livid face: "He can know about Yizhou Road just by sitting in Bianliang? He is still in love. I think he is used to being stubborn and suddenly went crazy."

The return of the prefix only occurred during the reign of the late emperor Zhao Zhen. The reason is simple because the decline of imperial power in the Song Dynasty began with Zhenzong and flourished during the Zhao Zhen period.

When the emperor is weak, his ministers will naturally become strong.

"Ask him, ask him!"

Zhao Shu was angry, with veins popping out on his forehead.

Han Qi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and ask."

Old Han went all the way to find Wang Anshi, "Jiefu, why are you doing this?"

Wang Anshi stood up and cupped his hands. After sitting down, he said: "Prime Minister Han, Yang Jing'an must have been involved in love affairs in this matter. The iron money has been around for many years and cannot be abolished suddenly."

"But the people have been struggling for a long time!" Han Qi felt that he was probably a little stubborn.

They all knew Wang Anshi's stubbornness, so Han Qi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Hurry up and draft the decree, and go down with the document that abolishes Jiaozi's iron money."

Wang Anshi said solemnly: "Unless the official dies, this will will never be drawn up."

"Are you crazy?"

Han Qi has a bad temper, so he got angry when he heard this, "You have to mess up a good thing or not. What do you want to do? Do you want to be famous? Or do you want to be promoted?"

Wang Anshi responded calmly.

Han Qi went back angrily, "Your Majesty, Wang Anshi is stubborn and refuses to draft an edict."

Zhao Shu slapped the chair and shouted: "Arrogant!"

He has been on the throne for several years now, and his prestige has gradually increased. How can ordinary people dare to cause trouble?

But Wang Anshi slapped him hard.

This hate!

It can be seen that there are precedents for making and returning prefixes. You can't deal with Wang Anshi in this matter!

The news spread instantly. Lu Jie found Sima Guang and said happily: "Wang Anshi is crazy, he actually handed over the prefix."

Sima Guang had a duel with Wang Anshi last time, and was beaten badly.

After that time, he and Wang Anshi fell out.

Hearing the news, he raised his eyebrows slightly, UU reading www.uukｎshu． net then said dullly: "We'll see about this later."

Lu Jie sighed: "What are you looking at? Yang Jingan spared no effort to implement the New Deal, but these people were actually suppressed by Wang Anshi. It can be seen that they are dog eating dog among themselves. Jun Shi, such a happy event..."

He was really happy, "They are making a fuss inside, it's obvious that they are just a mob. Let's watch the fun from the side, how about... add some fuel to their fire?"

Sima Guang looked up at him blankly and said, "You can think about this matter."

Lu Jie nodded, stood up and said, "I am going to find someone to impeach Wang Anshi and Yang Jingan. I will definitely let them bite the bullet themselves."

Since the current official ascended the throne, his majesty has gradually increased, and no one has been able to touch his bad luck.

But today Wang Anshi gave him a try, and the officialdom of Bianliang was shocked.

…

besides!

There are more alliance leaders these days, and there will still be more updates tomorrow...
