Chapter 257 People Use for Me

Hou Shuxian also smiled. He continued: "This matter has been pending. As a result, the imperial historian Lv Ji, Fan Chunren, and the supervisor Shi Lv Dafang all agreed with the auxiliary minister's statement. They impeached Prime Minister Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu together. Finally, the Empress Dowager made a statement that everyone should respect the emperor of King Pu, and the Emperor Yingzong can be called his biological parents. As a result, people think that this was planned by Zhongshu Province. Many people were unhappy. Lv Ji and others handed over the appointment of the imperial minister and asked for resignation as a protest.

Wang said with a smile, "This is not a small matter. Is there a collective strike on the imperial history platform?"

Hou Shuxian also smiled: "It's okay to say that the Emperor Yingzong had no choice but to discuss what to do with the auxiliary ministers. As a result, I don't know which words of the Yingzong offended these auxiliary ministers. Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu all said: Since the imperial historian thinks that they are right and we are wrong, let's leave them and treat us."

Wang Zong smiled secretly and whispered to Yuan Ze, "How about Emperor Yingzong? Isn't it like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror?" Yuan Ze looked at the king puzzledly: "Brother, what is Zhu Bajie's official position?" Wang Bian laughed and said, "Zhu Bajie is Marshal Tianpeng."

Wang Anshi is hearing the key point. He is not only thinking about the name of King Pu, the resignation of officials and so on. What Wang Anshi thinks of is a bigger thing in his heart: now the ancestral teachings left by Taizu are more important than martial arts. The civil servants in the court talk to each other when things happen. They have no power and no business. The matter of King Pu is It's a big deal, but the small things at ordinary times are also fighting for each other. No matter, good or bad, can't be carried out. He saw Wang Biao Yuanze talking and laughing. He thought that it must be what Wang said to provoked Yuan Ze, so he said to Wang, "Don't joke. Listen to Mr. Hou talk about business."

Wang was busy sitting upright and looking at Mr. Hou and said, "Sir, please say, just now I felt that Emperor Yingzong agreed with the views of Zhongshu Province and asked him to call his biological father the emperor's father, which was not easy for him to do, but what these imperial historians said also made sense. I don't know how things are going now."

Hou Shuxian didn't mind Wang's side to laugh. He said again: "Yingzong demoted Lv Ji and others. Who knew that the rest of the imperial history platform, Zhao Ding, Zhao Zhan, Fu Yaoyu and others quit, and also wrote: Since Lv Ji was demoted, it also belittled us. As a result, Yingzong demoted six imperial historians in a row, which is not over, Sima Jun. In fact, I also ask the emperor to demote his officials, as well as Lu Gong, a servant scholar.

This is really lively. Wang looked at his father and saw his father frowning slightly. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Wang Anshi said to Hou Shuxian, "Only in this way can the Emperor Yingzong calm down. Our Song Dynasty has set up an ancestral motto since the Taizu. If the imperial court impeachs some officials, the words are not accepted. If you resign from the official position and are impeached, you will also be suspended for a crime. If there is no impeachment, it is a dereliction of duty, so there are so many things coming out.

When Wang heard his father say this, he suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Father, Mr. Hou, I don't know something. Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial history platform has been set up to supervise the emperor's words and deeds. The imperial historian can make suggestions to the emperor, but he can't investigate the fault of the imperial historian. Previously, my father said that I mostly followed the Song Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties were under the old system, and how the imperial history became the merits and demerits of impeaching ministers.

Hearing Wang's questions, Wang Anshi and Hou Shuxian looked at each other, and Hou Shuxian's praising eyes: "Jie Fu, the second son said very good, you also said that the second son read less." Wang Anshi was very proud, but he said, "Oh, my second son has not liked to study since he was a child, but he is a little smart. You are right. You are right. The imperial history platform of the Tang Dynasty is indeed supervising the emperor, and the imperial history platform is set under the prime minister. The candidates are selected by the prime minister, but since the Taizu, two The three divisions of the government also set up a separate imperial history platform, and the imperial history was personally selected by the emperor, so that the imperial history became the duty of impeaching officials of various ministries.

Wang's audience understood that Song Taizu was afraid that the prime minister or officials would bully the master, so he changed the law to weaken the functions and powers of various ministries. He nodded his head and said to his father, "That's it, but the discussion of King Pu is also fixed. This matter is almost over, but those demoted imperial historians are a little wronged."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "Since Emperor Taizu, he has also made a rule not to kill civil servants. Even if the political opinions are degraded at most, the civil servants who leave the court still retain the qualification to participate in politics. Although the officials have different opinions, they do not affect their personal relations, and once the situation in the court changes, the demoted will be re-activated, which is nothing. It's just that I don't agree with what the other side says. I don't agree with it. I will do my best in everything. If I believe in the fixed number for my father, how can there be today?

Wang side smiled and suddenly his heart lit up: What my father said is right. His existence has changed a lot of things. These are all imperceptible. Why do you have to develop according to history? There is no Wang in the history book, and even the statement is different about whether he has it or not. History is written by people. Who says that his father In the future, Xining's change of the law will fail. Those changes are closely related to the people, especially when the king himself also encountered taxes, labor and other things. He felt that there were some things that were going to change. Another thing that interested him was that his father just said that political opinions were different, and the disputes between officials in the Song Dynasty were mostly political disputes. Thinking of this, he said, "My father is right. I'm not afraid of different political opinions. What I'm afraid of is that there are no political opinions. Although political opinions are not unified, if this point is used well, I can find a better decision."

Wang Anshi smiled and looked at Hou Shuxian again: "What others said is very reasonable. We can't say more about this now. We have to wait and see what has changed. By the way, Jing Ren, I'd like to ask you about a person. Who is the judge of the Ministry of Household of the Third Division now?" Wang knew that his father was asking the relatives of Zhu County Magistrate for him. Hou Shuxian had just returned from the capital. He must have known,

Hou Shuxian thought for a moment: "The judge of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Third Division... Oh, I remember that this person's name is Wang Guangyuan. When Emperor Yingzong lived in Pu's mansion before he succeeded to the throne, he often went to Emperor Yingzong. He also dedicated his articles to Emperor Yingzong. For this matter, he also said: Wei Wan of the Han Dynasty did not allow the prince to drink. Therefore, Emperor Jing treated him very favorably. Zhang Mei of the Zhou Dynasty gave the country's money to Zhou Shizong in private, so Shizong did not like him. Instead, he treated him very thinly. Wang Guangyuan was disloyal, and no one could compare with him. At that time, Renzong was in power, but he secretly defected to His Majesty. This was not what a loyal minister should do. Today, his crimes should be investigated, but And the emperor not only did not punish him, but also rewarded him. In this case, how can we ask everyone to keep the minister's day in the future?

Hearing that Wang's favor of Sima Guang has increased a little, Wang suddenly felt that he was really stingy a few years ago. Everything has made great progress. Now it seems that everything has two sides. Sima Guang is still very competent as an agment officer. If his future father wants to do something big, he can If you know enough to make good use of people, maybe things will turn around. My father will not have so many political enemies, but more comrades-in-arms who mention each other. However, Wang Bian is still very concerned about Wang Guangyuan's stay. He asked, "I don't know if Emperor Yingzong has adopted Sima Junshi's advice."

Hou Shuxian shook his head: "Yingzong did not listen to Sima Guang's words, and Ren Wang Guangyuan was the judge of the herdsman and the three departments." Wang Anshi and Wang also shook their heads. This Yingzong really couldn't distinguish between good and bad people. It seemed that his father and himself were really right to resign.

The arrival of Hou Shuxian undoubtedly made Wang know a lot of things he didn't know before, and Wang also found that his thoughts about some things had changed. Several of them talked about the court for a while, and several of them talked for a while. Wang Anshi ordered people to prepare dinner for Mr. Hou. Wang He and Yuanze came out of Wang Anshi's study. Yuanze put his shoulder on the king's shoulder and asked, "Brother, how are you going to the county government today? Have you told the county magistrate that you are doing the errand sent by the prime minister?"

Wang took out a book from his arms and took out the book written by the county magistrate. Yuan Ze took it to have a look and said anxiously to Wang, "Oh, why do you still agree to do this job?" Wang took back the document: "Do you know what this is called? This is called strong evidence. By the way, have you inquired about the transshipment of Jiangnan West Road for me?"

Yuan Ze said, "I found out that this person's surname is Cai Mingting, and his character is Zizheng, and he also found out that he will come to Linchuan in a few days."

As soon as Wang heard that the transshipment envoy of Jiangnan West Road was Cai Zizheng, he was happy. Cai Zizheng was very meritorious in governing Yanyu in those years, and this person hated the collusion between officials and businessmen the most. When he was in the capital, Wang also met Cai Zizheng, which was easy to do. He said happily, "Oy, brother, you do things quickly enough."

Yuan Ze also smiled: "Well, you don't have your own house. You can go back and have a look. Wa Zhuang is back, or he told me that he just came back from Nanfeng, and now Cai Zizheng is in Nanfeng."

The king pulled Yuan Ze and said, "Let's go to my house for a meeting." Yuan Ze said reluctantly, "I won't go. Go back and hurry up and urge your taxes. I still have books to read." Wang Bian smiled and said, "Look at you like that. Okay, go and read your books, and I'll urge my taxes." Saying goodbye to Yuanze and leaving,

Yuan Ze greeted behind him: "Oh, you really go. By the way, our father heard that you had a sheep washing in Jinxiu Building, and said that he would let you prepare it for him later. In addition, Dad asked you about the New Year's Eve dinner..."

Wang said, "I'm not really going. I've already had a way to collect taxes, but I won't tell you now. When the tax collection is done later, I'll make hot pot for my father and let him try it. As for the New Year's Eve dinner, I'll think of a fresh one for you later." He said and walked quickly to his house,
