Cry for Song

Chapter 155 Ag's Mistake

A court crisis dissipated like this, but there was no bloody battle and thrilling struggle, but there seemed to be an invisible power, which made the king solve it lightly.

Although Zhao Yu said that Wang will not have the intention to seize power, this idea also stems from what has been happening in the past few decades. Up to now, he doesn't even know whether he trusts Wang or almost worships Wang.

Wang himself does not know whether Zhao Yu's trust is right, because he really looks down on rights, but there is a saying in Wang's ear that Bao Zheng said in those years. Sometimes only when you have the rights can you use these to do what you want to do.

"Brother Wang, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yu's question brought Wang Bian Chong back in meditation.

"I'm thinking that since this matter has been solved and you're in good health, it's time for me to go."

"Where to go?" Zhao Yu was a little surprised. Does Wang want to travel through time and space like Song Taizu?

"Ha ha, your emperor has a bad memory. I'm going to Yunzhou."

"You can't go." Zhao Yu thought for a moment and then said.

"Why?"

"Brother Wang, you are waiting. When I recover completely, we can start again. There are many new policies that I refuse to give up. With you, I will have support and motivation." Zhao Yu said, looking forward to the king.

Wang's side was also moved by this. Yes, the new policy, which is his father's wish. Although he has been repeatedly frustrated, it cannot be said that the new policy is not good. If the economic system of the Song Dynasty is completely reformed while being a federation, then the Song Dynasty can maintain its core position in the Central Plains.

Seeing that Wang's side didn't say anything, Zhao Yu knew that Wang's side was in his heart. He added weights and said, "Brother Wang, what conditions do you have? Do you want to reform the three divisions or make changes to the officials of the court? Do you want soldiers or power? As long as you can say it, I will do it all."

"You really want to listen to me in everything." Wang Zong looked at Zhao Yu in disbelief. Why was there something pleading in his tone?

Zhao Yu nodded sincerely: "After so many years, I also know that there are more and more paralysis in the imperial court. In order to innovate or not, the officials of the court are always repeatedly fighting with each other. There are complaints from the people. This official knows that although Baojia was deceived before the uprising, the people have a saying that flies do not bite seamless eggs. There was an uprising, which was the people's dissatisfaction with the status quo. In the past, I also repeated that my determination to innovate was not firm, which led to today's situation. But now I understand that Brother Wang, you are not a person in the strange world as my father said. Maybe you are a time traveler, and you came to save my Song Dynasty, right?

Wang Pang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you think too much."

"I didn't think too much. Do you think so?"

"Yes, how is it?" Wang looked at Zhao Yu helplessly.

"Then take me away. Let's travel to the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In that case, when we get there, we will know what will happen there and whether it will be more fun than now."

"Poo-Poo." The entourage next to the king couldn't help it anymore. He lowered his head and finally laughed.

"You, what are you laughing at? Raise your head to the official." Zhao Yu looked at the entourage and asked.

Shi Qian raised his face and looked at Zhao Yu with a red face.

"Hahaha, who did I say? It turned out to be a little turtle who stole the tribute." Zhao Yu remembered that he had seen Shi Qian when he was in Jiang Ning, so he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have a name and a nickname of fleas in the world."

"Then tell me what are you laughing at."

"I'm smiling happily. The emperor is the best emperor I have ever seen. Since ancient times, there has been any emperor who can self-criticize himself. What the emperor just said just said, not to mention that the prince is listening, even I, a grass-f, feel warm-heart when I listen to it."

Zhao Yu smiled proudly after a few words, and Shi Qian continued: "But I heard that the emperor was going to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I just want to laugh. You are the god from heaven. No matter how great you are, you are the emperor at most, but you are now the emperor. Is it possible that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is not to be an ancients?"

Zhao Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, and then smiled cheerfully: "Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense. It is worthy of being the people around the prince. They think about things more than others."

Shi Qian flattered the king and said, "Your Highness, I didn't humiliate you."

"You can still talk." Wang's side praised Shi Qian and turned his head to Zhao Yu and said, "Your Majesty, since you are determined to be so determined to be so resolute, I am willing to help the emperor fulfill my wish. It can also be regarded as my doing something to the subjects of the Song Dynasty. However, my words alone are not enough. I want the emperor to summon important ministers to analyze the reasons for the previous failure of innovation and summarize the lessons. After improving the new policy, I don't know what the emperor's intention is. This time, Wang has already thought about it. Although he had told his father before that the matter of the new policy should not be rushed, he still did not do something urgent in Wang Anshi. This kind of urgent success caused a lot of contradictions and differences in the court, and more objectively speaking, the king was not at the scene for ten years of Xining's change, more He doesn't even know the situation as well as Su Shi, Cai Jing and others. Compared with the words of his own family, it is better for everyone to sit down and brainstorm, including those ministers who oppose the new law. They may not be tit-for-tat, but the opinions put forward must be the amendment and promotion of the new law.

What's the reason for Zhao Yu to refuse such a pertinent request?

After leaving the palace, the king deliberately let the horse go slowly. He immediately thought about what happened in the palace and what he had said. Shi Qian followed the king. Seeing that the king was not in a hurry to go back to the house, he asked, "Your Majesty, you really plan to stay in the capital."

"Why not?"

"However, the princesses have all arrived in Yunzhou. Didn't you stay in the capital and separate from your family?"

"Ha ha, I'm afraid it's not that I'm worried about separating from my family, but you can't see your second daughter in your heart."

"Your Majesty, to put it bluntly, it's not funny."

"I know how to play."

"Your Majesty, this is not the way back to our house. Where are you going?"

"Go to see Sima Guang." Wang's side suddenly figured it out. He urged the horse and walked to Sima Guang's house a little faster.

Unlike other ministers, Sima Guang's mansion is relatively remote in the capital, and there is no strict bodyguard in front of the palace. Wang Bian and Shi Qian got off the horse, and Shi Qian went forward to call the door. A old man opened the door of the courtyard and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Although Wang knew that Sima Guang had always been thrifty, Shi Qian didn't seem to believe it. The prime minister's house was not as good as a four- or five-grade official. He poked his head inside and asked, "This is Sima Prime Minister's mansion."

"Exactly, you are."

"Our prince wants to see Prime Minister Sima." Time refers to the direction next to the king.

"This..." The old man hesitated for a moment. How could the prince suddenly visit?

Seeing this, Wang Bian came forward and said, "I'm next to the king of Zhennan. I'm here to visit Prime Minister Sima. Please send me a message."

"You two later." The old family said and closed the houses.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister's house is shabby enough. You are very polite to this family."

"It should be. You haven't seen that the old man is so old. He should have been with the Sima family for many years. After a while, you just watch the horse and wait for me outside."

Soon the old man came out again: "Which one is the king of Zhennan? Sima Xianggong has a treat."

Shi Qian curled his lips and thought that the prime minister was quite big. When he heard that our prince came, he didn't greet him in person. The king followed his hometown into the prime minister's house. He saw that there were only two courtyards in the prime minister's house, and there were some vegetables on both sides of Qingshi Road. At first glance, it didn't look like the prime minister's house, but an ordinary person's house. Sima Guang He didn't go out to greet him. It was not until his hometown brought the king to the main hall that Sima Guang got up from his seat and saluted in place: "The prince has arrived. I'm sorry for my sins."

Wang didn't mind. After returning the salute, he sat down and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Prime Minister Sima was quite interesting. I think the vegetables in the courtyard are good, but Mr. Sima took care of them by himself."

"Exactly, if the prince likes it, I will ask my family to bring some to the prince when I leave."

Wang side smiled and ran to get the green vegetables. "Then thank you, Mr. Sima. This is green and pollution-free. You must take it."

Sima Guang smiled and then asked, "I don't know what's wrong with the prince's sudden visit." Although Sima Guang's expression looked very kind, he was very alert at this moment.

"I'm here to thank Mr. Sima."

"Thank you." Sima Guang was a little puzzled.

"Yes, when my father is about to leave, I can meet Mr. Sima and talk to him, and I heard my father mention Mr. Sima that the new law established by Wang Anshi and others can be better than the old one. This is a great affirmation of my father from Mr. Sima's mouth."

"Hmm, the prince is flattered. May I ask if the prince is here today to persuade me about the new law?" Sima Guang asked more vigilantly.

"Mr. Sima, you worry too much. In those years, Mr. Sima would rather resign than agree with the implementation of the new law. How dare I persuade Mr. Sima to support the new law?" Wang swayed his head and said with a smile.

"Well, the prince is here."

"Well, Mr. Sima must not have gone to the palace today, and he hasn't heard of King Wu Rong leading troops into the palace."

"Ah, there is such a thing." Sima Guang suddenly stood up from the chair and said, "Your Majesty is fine."

"Don't sit down and listen to me. This matter has calmed down. The emperor ordered King Wu Rong to guard the imperial mausoleum. Finally, there is no flesh and blood."

Sima Guang looked at the king hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this matter will not be calmed down, will it?"

The king waved his hand: "This is nothing..."

"It's nothing to save such a great achievement. I really don't know whether the prince is modest or pretending..." Sima Guang muttered in a low voice. In terms of knowledge, Sima Guang thought he was much better than Wang's side, but his achievements made him ashamed.

"Hahaha, it's not that I'm modest. I came to tell Mr. Sima that King Wu Rong is eager to use the reform of those who support the new law to recruit a group of people who support him. I think this is very bad."

Sima Guang praised Wang's words with his hands and feet. He immediately said, "It's not wrong. The prince sees it thoroughly. This is also my embarrassment."

"Yes, so I also reflect that the new law and the old law are actually not important. The important thing is that those are more beneficial to the imperial court and those that can make the country rich and the people strong. Over the years, everyone has been a little angry and desperately wants to compete for the new and the old, but ignore the legal system itself."

Wang's attitude really surprised Sima Guang. If it hadn't been for such a pertinent tone and sharp analysis, Sima Guang might not have realized the cause and consequences of such great hostility in the court, and Wang's words seemed to hit Sima Guang's heart heavily, ignoring the essence of the matter. Aren't all the officials in the court taking this road now?

But Sima Guang is not like the relationship between Zhao Yu and the king. Zhao Yu can admit his mistake in front of the king. Sima Guang can't, not to mention that in his heart, although the king is the prince, he is a junior. He said very seriously, "Since the prince sees these, what are you going to do?"
