Cry for Song

Chapter 156 Treating the root causes

Sima Guang's heart is hard-hearted, and Wang is very indifferent. He is not afraid that you have a hard mouth. The king has his own way to soften you.

"Today in the palace, I didn't expect that the emperor had self-discipline and blamed himself for more than ten years, so I also felt that since the emperor could reflect, why we can't be ministers."

"The emperor reflects on what the emperor said." Sima Guang was also surprised when he heard this. It was a big deal for the emperor to admit his mistake. Is it necessary to overthrow the old system and implement the new policy?

I don't know when it was dark. My hometown entered the house and lit the candlestick. Sima Guang looked at the still dim room: "There are guests here. Light more lights."

"Yes, Mr. Sima, this dinner." The old man took a look at the king.

"I'm afraid that the prince won't get used to the light meal in the house, so I don't have to prepare dinner. I'll invite the prince out." Sima Guang's attitude changed inadvertently.

"No, we can't get used to plain rice. If Mr. Sima doesn't think I'm disturbing him, then I'll stay." The king said generously.

Ding, the hometown, looked at Sima Guang. Sima Guang said, "Go and do it."

In a short time, the dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion was placed on the dinner table. There were two dishes and one soup. Although there was meat and vegetarian food, it was quite simple for Sima Guang's current identity. Wang was not polite. He talked with Sima Guang while eating. Suddenly, the two seemed to have more harmony and tacit understanding. Wang's conversation with Zhao Yu in the bedroom. To make a statement, this dinner will also be finished.

"What's the prince's plan?" When Sima Guang asked again this time, his tone had eased a lot.

"I have discussed with the emperor and invited everyone to the palace. You have more experience in governance than me, more questions than me, and more solutions than I have. Everyone said that I have seen it over the years. I also know that Mr. Sima has a Luoyang Jiying Association. Over the years, Mr. Sima has not forgotten political affairs, and he has experienced the people. I hope Mr. Sima can give me more advice at that time.

Has the world changed? When the king's side has become so modest, and the king's side has changed so much that Sima Guang feels uncomfortable. "The prince doesn't have to be polite, and the new law may not be unsatisfactory everywhere. I have also seen the people's support for the new law in the people. Although I also have something I can't figure out, the prince is right. The rule is not You can do things with righteousness.

Wang sneakly in his heart. If he had known that Sima Guang was a smooth donkey, his father would not have had to entangle with him so much over the years. "Mr. Sima is right. Our old minister should set an example, otherwise the officialdom will not be disputed, and it is all for the dispute between factions. Who really thinks for the court."

Uh-huh, Sima Guang listened and nodded.

After dinner and chatting for a while, Wang Bian got up and said goodbye. Sima Guang went all the way to the door of the house, which was too different from when Wang Bian entered the door. After many years of pimples, it was resolved so smoothly. Wang Bian was happy to walk to the tree that was tarrying the horse and saw Shi Qian looking at himself listlessly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm hungry, my lord," Shi Qian said with his eyes rolling.

Thinking that I actually stayed in Sima Guang's house, I ate a good meal. Unexpectedly, I forgot that Shi Qian had not eaten. Wang said with a smile, "Hahaha, let's go. I'll treat you to a good meal."

The two came to Qingfeng Tower. Cui Xi, the shopkeeper, hurriedly took them to a good room. Some people sent wine and vegetables to accompany Wang to drink and talk in the room. It seemed that Shi Qian was really hungry. For a while, he ate most of the dishes in front of him.

"Haha, my lord, you still have to starve this boy in the future, or he will come and only look at the young lady."

Shi Qian has almost eaten. He wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Mr. Cui made fun of me again. If you look at it every day, it's not a matter of near the water."

"I." Cui Xi shook his head: "I'm not interested in this, otherwise how could the prince and Mr. Lin give this to me?"

"Yes, I said, shopkeeper Cui, as the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Tower, you want money, money and a house. Why don't you marry a wife and a concubine?"

Shi Qian asked Cui Xi about his pain. He blushed and said, "I don't care."

Wang side stared at Shi Qian. There must be a reason why Cui Xi is like this. Shi Qian didn't think so: "I think you must be sick. Do you know if you have to cure this disease? Besides, you can know everything here. Is there a secret? Your Highness, you can ask Cui Xi to find out why he is not a good woman."

"Go, don't mess around." The king stopped him.

"I'm not messing around, Manager Cui. I told you to laugh at me all the time, but you said it." Shi Qian was full of food and asked reluctantly.

"Hey, I'm afraid of you. When I'm in front of the prince, I won't hide anything. Just say, what's wrong with me?" Cui Xi stared and said.

"I just said, you see, I have stubble. Cui Xi doesn't have a beard. I don't know why I thought you came out of the palace."

Cui Xi blushed even more: "You are proud for a few days, and I will be cured in a few days. If you don't say it, I will be embarrassed to talk to the prince." He turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, a little lady came to the capital to treat people with a knife. She also passed on the medical skills to his husband. That day, I saw the doctor and said that there was a cure. I want to ask you for leave."

Heal the disease with a knife, Mrs. Zhang, isn't this a famous female surgeon in the Song Dynasty? "There is such a good thing. Why do you ask me for leave for business, but I'm really curious about what's wrong with you."

"The disease of hidden eggs, shh, prince, this can't be spread."

Shi Qian suddenly laughed and was hit by him again. Wang's heart suddenly lit up: "That's great."

"Your Majesty, why are you like this? I'm sick and you say it's great."

"Haha, no, I mean, your treatment is very good, but can you invite the couple to the royal palace for treatment? I just want to use your disease."

"How do you say this?" Cui Xi asked puzzledly.

"Do me a favor, let's do this..." Wang whispered a few words in Cui Xi's ear, and Cui Xi nodded.

In the Qinzheng Hall of the palace, more than a dozen ministers sat around a large table. Zhao Yu sat upright, and Wang and Sima Guang sat on both sides of Zhao Yu respectively. Sima Guang first spoke and made profound criticism and self-criticism. For example, his attitude towards the new law was too impulsumpy. After his words, many ministers were shocked. Stunned, and then Wang's words were also self-blame. He did not fulfill his duty as a minister. In addition, he denied the old law on the question of the new law.

Everyone is at a loss. What kind of court is this? Originally, this is not a court meeting in the court.

Zhao Yu asked everyone to summarize the mistakes he had turned over and the repetition of the new and old law questions. The emperor was like this. Everyone couldn't turn around for a while, and many people felt that they were short-circuited.

The conclusion of the words has become everyone's self-summary. Self-criticism. It seems that the more ruthless he is, the more entangled his expression is, the more guilty he is, the more intimate he is with the emperor. Wang said, "Today, the emperor summons the emperor summons everyone to discuss the question of so many years of governance, and also wants everyone to give advice for the past. We don't have to worry about the problem, but we have to find a solution to the problem.

"The prince is right. I, Su, think that the law can only be good if it adapts to the present and the will of the people. Whether it is new or old, there is something desirable."

"Bachelor Su is right."

"Yes, or Mr. Su is knowledgeable." Someone echoed with the voice.

Wang saw that Cai Jing had not spoken, so he asked, "Juan Chang, everyone is reflecting. What do you have to say?"

Cai Jing said, "Actually, I am a supporter of the new law, but I know that those who support the new law may not all implement it. They just use the new law as a way to be promoted. If the court treats the same person, regardless of the new law or the old law, everyone will discuss it like this, then no one will take advantage of this gap. In addition, I think the new law Some people will benefit from the old law, but some people benefit the people, and some people use the law to do corruption. I have made a very serious mistake on this question, so I left a handle for people to finally use it.

At this time, Cai did not dare to look up. He knew that Cai Jing was referring to the matter of King Wu Rong.

"Yuan Chang, your officials already know that since your attitude is so good and you are willing to correct your mistakes, the officials are not responsible for the past, but you are very right. The reason why there is such a big problem in the implementation of the new law is that in addition to the new law itself needs to be amended, it is because it touches the interests of some people, so the official decided that in the future The main responsibility of the imperial history platform is to thoroughly investigate corruption. First, put an end to corruption from the root, and then you will consider the construction of the legal system itself and truly do things that benefit the country and the people.

"Papa." Driven by the king, a thunderous applause broke out in the hanging arch hall. Zhao Yu said so generously that even the king praised him.

It's too rare. Finally, everyone reached a consensus on some questions, which made Zhao Yu feel full of confidence. Sima Guang burst into tears: "Your Majesty."

Although it is self-evident for their own interests, when this matter is really put on the table, some interests have become insignificant, and no one dares to look at the policy subjectively for the sake of interests.

At this meeting, the Department of Deepening Development and Reform was re-established. The director of this department is Ma Guang and Cai Jing. The department has both the original reformers and conservatives, but all the work to be done is to amend the shortcomings of the new law so that the new law can be better implemented.

Whether it is a reformist or a conservative, they finally calm down and re-analyze the situation for the common goal and implement it together. Of course, in this process, a few corrupt officials, a few evil officials who deceive and inaction, and some royal relatives who rely on and corrupt backgrounds, Zhao Yu made up his mind and seized one. After a batch of resolutions, the atmosphere of the imperial court soon became positive. When the ministers met to discuss the resolution, they no longer divided the group but really considered the detailed rules and measures in implementation.

In the following period of time, the Song Dynasty really changed dramatically. These changes can be seen by Zhao Yu and Wang. It can be said that Zhao Yu spent the next few months in a tense, busy and happy life. He himself felt that he had never been able to do things like this. This After that, it was said that the meeting was over on this day, and everyone left Zhao Yu and left the king. He asked mysteriously, "Your Majesty, have you been well?"

"I have invited a magic doctor, and I'm cured."

"It's more amazing than Brother Wang."

"Of course, the operation has cured Tong Guan's hidden egg disease." Wang Zong smiled secretly. In fact, it was his own transfer plan. Zhang Xiaoniangzi was cured by Cui Xi, but she could just use this reason to remove Tong Guan's reputation as a eunuch.

"Oh, that's not good. I'll transfer Tong Guan out of the inner courthouse later."

"This is a must. They are not eunuchs, and the emperor hasn't been re-eclosed."

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely seal this, but I have to check if there are any other eunuchs in the palace who have similar diseases to treat them..."

Hey hey, it's too late to find out. Wang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
