A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

When Wang Anshi went home from the Yamen, it was still dark.

Today, the prime ministers and ministers summoned him to talk, and they all tried to persuade him to draw up a decree. Wang Anshi firmly disagreed, and the two sides almost fell out.

Tomorrow is the decisive battle!

Wang Anshi knew that he would face greater pressure tomorrow.

When she returned home, Wu was still very happy despite not knowing the government affairs.

Wang Yu and him entered the study.

"Dad, don't worry about this." Wang Yu said confidently: "My son suggests... that you submit a letter of resignation."

I...

Wang Anshi thought his son was crazy.

But soon he understood the purpose of this move.

burn one's boats.

Once he submits a letter of resignation, there will be no room for maneuver on the matter. He will either succeed in promotion or fail to step down.

However, this has the advantage of eliminating outside interference.

I've already resigned, why are you so nagging?

"Dalang..." Wang Anshi felt that if this matter was not handled well, the Wang family would be in danger.

Once he loses his official position, the future of the Wang family is completely ruined.

But I won’t admit defeat!

"good."

Wang Anshi patted Wang Yu on the shoulder and said, "In the worst case, I can go back to my hometown to teach."

He felt that he could support his wife and children by teaching.

After figuring this out, Wang Anshi was in a good mood, and the father and son went to hang out in the front yard.

…

The next day, the memorial to impeach Wang Anshi and Yang Jingan came.

"This is what those people do."

In the check-in room, someone was muttering, "Those people are opposing the New Deal, they are adding fuel to the fire!"

Dog eats dog within the New Deal, and the opposition is naturally rejoicing.

These methods cannot be concealed from others, but at this moment, they have the effect of adding fuel to the fire.

Wang Anshi, however, remained calm. When he heard that something had been smashed by the officials, he wrote a letter and then returned home in style.

"He actually resigned?"

Zhao Shu also didn't expect Wang Anshi to be so staunch.

"Yes, Your Majesty, he said that he was stupid and could not be driven by the king. So he planned to go back to his hometown to teach, and at least he could support his family."

Han Qi was also a little confused, thinking that this was a strange Wang Anshi.

Isn’t this Lao Wang too fierce?

Have you ever seen anyone threaten an official with resignation?

But Wang Anshi dared.

Wang Anshi slowly walked out of the duty room, and the officials he met along the way looked at him silently.

This man is really... full of courage!

He slowly walked through this street in the center of the Song Dynasty, and then left the imperial city.

Outside the imperial city, Shen An stood with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him coming out, Shen An smiled and said, "Let's have a drink together?"

Wang Anshi nodded, "Very good!"

Shen An picked up Wang Anshi for a drink outside the imperial city!

As soon as the news spread, the intensity of impeachment was immediately reduced by 30%.

In the restaurant, Shen An only said one sentence, "Peace of mind."

Wang Anshi just nodded, but still couldn't feel relieved.

After returning home, Wang Yu did not go to the academy.

The father and son stood under the eaves of the wing room, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Wang Yu was very confident, but he felt his father's heavy heart.

No matter how confident he was, he was still just a young man, so gradually his mood became gloomy.

"Dad, if this fails, the child will admit that it was his idea."

If there is a one in ten thousand chance of failure, then let someone bear the responsibility!

Wang Anshi looked at him, making Wang Yu's eyes red, and then said slowly: "You are still young."

"But the children are all married."

Being married is becoming an adult.

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "But in my father's eyes, you are just a child!"

In the eyes of your father, you will always be a child. If something bad happens, your father will push you away and use his body to block the oncoming danger.

Wang Yu's lips twitched.

When the weather gets cold, birds can't find food and will chirp on the roof.

A servant brought a dustpan, propped it up with a small wooden stick, pulled the wooden stick with a string, and put some rice bran grains underneath. The man hid in the house, holding the string in his hand.

This is a trick used by children to catch birds. Once a bird gets into the dustpan to eat rice, the servant only needs to pull down the small wooden stick, and the dustpan will fall down to cover the bird.

Wang Anshi and his son were watching this scene, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

There was a gentle chirping of birds, and then a bird flew down from the roof.

The bird landed and spun around, then chirped again.

A bird flew down from the roof again, staggered when it landed, and then walked slowly.

The bird at the back looks like its feathers are scattered and its body is sluggish. It is probably an old bird.

But the bird in front is very young and has a strong posture.

A bird in front slowly approached the dustpan, but the old bird stood outside the dustpan, chirping anxiously.

But the bird still walked into the dustpan.

It pecked at a grain of rice and then came out.

The old bird raised its head, and the young bird fed it the grain of rice, turned around and walked under the dustpan again.

The old bird was still chirping, getting more and more anxious.

But the young bird tirelessly went back and forth under the dustpan, and then brought back rice grains to feed it...

Wang Anshi and his son held their breath unconsciously.

They were worried that the servants would pull the rope.

After an unknown amount of time, the two birds were full and flew up to the roof.

The birds chirped softly, and the sound was clear and crisp, but in Wang Yu's ears at this moment, it had a lot more meaning.

Wang Anshi left without knowing when.

When Wang Yu woke up, he found that tears were streaming down his face.

Indoors, the servant did the same thing. He left the room, went to see Wu, and said, "I want to take a leave of absence."

"Why?"

The weather was getting cold and there were many things at home. Wu felt that this was not the right time to take leave.

"I want to go home and see my mother."

The servant's eyes were red and swollen, but Wu finally agreed.

Then came the news.

"He had an argument with his wife and said he wanted to give his wife some money. The wife didn't agree, so he slapped her and left with the money."

Wu sighed: "Why are you so impatient?"

"Madam, the great man has bought you new fabric. It's so beautiful."

A maid brought in a piece of cloth, which looked bright in color.

Wu smiled and said: "This is not a holiday, why are you so attentive?"

The servant girl flattered her and said, "I am a filial husband, so you can bear with me."

Wu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will accept his filial piety."

…

"Let's find someone else to draft a decree on this matter."

The will cannot be put on hold for a long time, which would be a blow to the prestige.

So the decree was drafted by another person, and then sent out together with the documents.

After Wang Anshi learned about it, he just remained silent.

As time passed, the officials did not remove Wang Anshi from his post, but they did not recall him either.

Lu Jie was in a very good mood and went to look for Sima Guang after leaving the office.

"Junshi, let's have a drink together?"

Sima Guang's face turned rosy and he said, "That's fine."

The two of them found a restaurant to sit down together, then drank slowly and talked about government affairs.

"Wang Anshi did something wrong in this matter. The officials are angry and will probably send him to another place." Lu Ji picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "He refuted the official's face. As long as the official is alive, he will not do anything." I want to get up again.”

Sima Guang smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank.

"But... Shen An didn't come out to speak." Lu Jie frowned and said, "He has a good relationship with Wang Yu, so why is he standing back at this time? This makes me a little confused."

According to Shen An's urine, shouldn't he be the one to help?

Sima Guang nodded, "That's why I thought of this, so I didn't take action."

Lu Ji said lightly: "However, after Wang Anshi resigned and returned home, Shen An only invited him to drink once and ignored him again. It can be seen that there may be something unknown to outsiders, so... tomorrow morning some time I will go to the public forum and criticize Wang Anshi for neglecting the officials."

Sima Guang was speechless and just drank slowly.

Lu Jie smiled and said: "Wang Anshi has become a lost dog, but you and I held back for several days before we dared to impeach him. Why? We are all afraid that Shen An will be able to recover. Hey! You are actually afraid of him!"

Sima Guang felt bitter in his heart, "Well, Shen An is very knowledgeable in financial matters. If he hadn't been to Yizhou Road, I would advise you not to take action, so... you have to learn! You and I have to learn this hard. ."

Live and learn until you are old. One is to find spiritual sustenance when you are bored, and the other is an urgent need.

Besides, I also felt helpless.

Learn and then suppress him!

This is the thought of many people, and Sima Guang is the strongest. He has been studying relevant books for this reason, waiting for the day when he will break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly.

Now he feels that that day is not far away.

So let's go ahead and take a picture of Wang Anshi.

…

The next day, Lu Kai took the memorial to the imperial city.

Shen An was actually waiting outside the imperial city.

The two met, each held hands, and then remained silent.

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Jie said, "You came here for Wang Anshi? It's a pity that it's too late."

He didn't know what happened between Shen An and Wang Anshi, but it was obviously unusual for Shen An to stay still.

Go ahead and keep making trouble. After internal divisions, the so-called New Deal will naturally come to an end.

Shen An smiled and said, "As long as the truth exists, it is never too late. Haven't Lu Zhiza heard this sentence? If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."

Lu Hui smiled, thinking that he was just talking. Shen An added: "You have to think about this, otherwise it will be ugly if you make a mistake."

hehe!

Lu Hui looked inside numbly. Later, someone took him into the palace, but Shen An went to the Political Affairs Hall.

Lu Jie went all the way to the palace and impeached Wang Anshi.

This is a heavy artillery shell with amazing power.

Lu Jie's action meant that that force was about to take action.

Bianliang shook.

Wang Anshi's return of the words was shocking. At this moment, Lu Hui took action, and this was the beginning of the confrontation.

The two sides are going to war.

But what Wang Anshi did made the people on the New Deal side unable to help, so Wang Anshi was in dire straits.

When the ministers returned to the political hall and saw Shen An there, Han Qi said angrily: "What are you doing hiding at home these days? Hatching eggs? Wang Anshi is in danger, and you are proficient in the art of coins and you don't know how to persuade him. As a result, he did something stupid, and now it's hard to stop him. It's useless even if you speak like a lotus flower."

Bao Zheng said: "Yang Jinian was about to recover, and his wife fell ill again. Shen An was the son-in-law and had to take care of her. The wife of the family also went to her parents' house to take care of her. The whole Shen family was so troubled by taro that their foreheads exploded. I went there once and was defeated. . So don’t be too harsh on him.”

Taking care of children?

None of you here have experienced this.

Even for an old man like Bao Zheng who dotes on his children, he just goes to the office to teach and then talk.

Fathers like Shen An who take care of their children are an anomaly.

The faces of the prime ministers and assistants were solemn, and Shen An said: "My dear sirs, do you know what the people are most afraid of?"

Han Qi said: "What are you most afraid of? People are afraid of a lot."

"But what they fear most is change!" Shen An said: "No matter how difficult it is now, they are gradually getting used to this kind of life. They feel that it is not bad for them to live their lives like this, as long as they don't starve to death and can feed their wives. Son, suffering is nothing."

The Chinese people have been like this since ancient times. If they were not forced into desperation, no one would think of rising up.

"Iron money is inconvenient and heavy, but it is safe!"

The value of iron money is guaranteed, and this is what the people value most.

Shen An felt that all the prime ministers and ministers should be sent to a certain village to live with the people for a few years.

"What are banknotes?"

Shen An felt that he was teaching them a lesson, UU Reading www. uukaｎｓ.net "The people in Bianliang are willing to accept it, and the merchants are willing to accept it, but the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. Yizhou Road is far away from the Central Plains, and the people have little information. What does it mean for them to accept banknotes that they don't understand? ?”

He shook his head slightly, "It's a risk!"

These prime ministers really don’t understand the thoughts of the people. Sitting in the political hall, they feel that this is what the people should think and do...

The same was true for the subsequent New Deal.

The failure of the New Deal was certainly due to the stabbing from the opposition, but Wang Anshi and others, who were high up in the temple, did not know the real thoughts of the people below and the specific implementation of the New Deal, so they thought that the New Deal was great, but in fact they were watching the sky from the bottom of a well.

Today someone is going to poke a hole in this day and let you know that you are just a frog!
