Prime Minister

Chapter 615

Zhang Fangping came to Beijing this time also with anticipation. When he left Beijing two years ago, other than visiting Zhizheng, the officials were reluctant to part with him, and even quarreled with Sima Guang.

But when he came to Beijing, the officials gave him a pair of edicts, edicts, clothes, gold belts and horses.

When he was full of hope, he learned that Wang Anshi strongly opposed Zhang Fangping to stay in Beijing.

Zhang Fangping's heart sank, during this meeting, he knew that the holy family had been lost, and he knew it from the arrangement of the envoy Xuanhui.The official family is not the official family two years ago. Now Wang Anshi is the only one who favors him, and Zhang Fangping no longer needs him.

And the officials felt a little ashamed when they heard Zhang Fangping's words, which were taboo by the prime minister.

Zhang Fangping's words also confirmed the official's permission for Wang Anshi's arbitrary and full-time appointment. The official couldn't help but ask, did I really take Wang Anshi too full-time?
After Zhang Fangping finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Fangping strode out of the hall, but seeing Su Shi, Li Dalin and more than a dozen trusted officials were waiting outside the hall, they all stepped forward when they saw Zhang Fangping arriving.

Zhang Fangping looked at them and smiled and said: "To see His Majesty today, I have already said what I want to say, it is not a waste of time."

After Zhang Fangping finished speaking, he looked relieved.

Su Shi and others looked at each other in blank dismay, what is this?Zhang Fangping came here full of expectations, but after seeing the official family, he was sent out of Beijing?

Li Dalin said: "But there are some people who are obstructing it, and they are afraid of the public."

Li Dalin thought about the three words of Wang Anshi, but he still couldn't say them.

Zhang Fangping stroked his beard and said: "Don't make wild guesses, Your Majesty has his own holy judgment. This old man bids farewell to you, and I will leave Beijing to take up my post today!"

After Zhang Fangping finished speaking, he bowed and left in big strides without the need for everyone to see him off.

Sure enough, Zhang Fangping left Beijing that day, and didn't even return to the capital's private residence. He left Beijing with his family to take office.

Although Zhang Fangping does not have Su Shi, Li Dalin said who is not, but this action has expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

Zhang Fangping and his party blamed Wang Anshi for all this.

In February, Wang Anshi faced his greatest challenge.

Han Qi went to the public library to request the abolition of the Green Crop Law!
The official handed Han Qi's memorabilia to Wang Anshi and said, "Han Qi is a true loyal minister. Although he is away, he still does not forget the royal family. I thought that the law of young crops would benefit the people, but I did not expect to harm the people like this. How can the people of Guo in this square deserve the money of young crops?"

As soon as the official said this, all the ministers nodded their heads. This is too messy, just like the citizens also went to receive agricultural relief loans.

For the KPI assessment, the officials all lend money to Guo Fangmin.

Everyone thought that Wang Anshi had nothing to say this time, but Wang Anshi said angrily: "As long as the people are willing, why not Fang Guomin?"

The ministers were absolutely devastated when they heard about it.

Everyone in the field was puzzled, why Wang Anshi still insisted that the young crop method was not wrong at this time.

Zeng Gongliang came out of the class and said: "I'm afraid that the prefectures and counties will be poor, and even the households will be suppressed."

Wang Anshi said: "As long as a few chief culprits are punished, this evil can be eliminated."

The officials were silent. At this time, Cheng Hao, the censor, asked him about the method of young crops in Chengdu, and Wang Anshi argued strongly.

But Wang Anshi already felt that the more he argued, the more unconvinced the ministers present were, and even the officials were influenced by Han Qi's performance, and they no longer supported him as before.

Wang Anshi said to the officials: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of my lectures, I have spoken 10,000+ words for the Qingmiao Law, and I will not say anything more. However, because your Majesty cannot explain the doubts in a memorandum, it is so confused by public opinion, and future reforms will not be possible. for."

The official hesitated for a while, and then said: "But you must do what you say. This Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongbi both knew that the Young Miao Law was not feasible, but they didn't speak up. But Han Qi...Han Qi is not someone else, he He is the prime minister of the three dynasties, and the two emperors Tuogu, what he said will not be false."

When the officials said this, Wang Anshi knew that the officials' confidence in the Young Crop Law had been completely shaken.

The official paused and said again: "If the people suffer from this young crop method, in case there are traitors who provoke...the people rebel."

Wang Anshi said: "The method of young crops is to relieve the poor, suppress mergers, and save money to prepare for the people's famine. I don't know what the people have to suffer!"

The next day Wang Anshi said he was ill.

The officials also regretted their slip of the tongue that day, and asked Sima Guang to draft an order to comfort Wang Anshi and ask him to come back.

As a result, Sima Guang wrote the imperial decree, one of which was "now the scholar-bureaucrats are boiling, and the people are in turmoil", insinuating that Wang Anshi's reform made the Quartet uneasy.

Wang Anshi was furious after reading the memorial, and went to the memorial to defend himself.

The officials saw that it was Sima Guang who made the trouble, but he could only come out and blame himself and say that I didn't read it carefully, and I didn't mean to blame you.

This time he did not ask Sima Guang to draw up an order, but asked Lu Huiqing to deliver the oral order to Wang Anshi's mansion.

But this time Wang Anshi seemed to be determined, determined not to look back, and then asked to be released to Jiangning to serve as an official.

At this moment, the court knew that Wang Anshi was not angry, but serious.

At this time, according to Wang Anshi's worship, he had only participated in politics for one year.

The officials were also a little angry when they saw that Wang Anshi had dropped the pick, so they simply appointed Sima Guang as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and sent someone to ask Wang Anshi's attitude on purpose.

Wang Anshi said that Sima Guang was the banner of the old party. Once this person used it, the matter of reform would not be mentioned in the future.

The officials have also lost their temper. If you, Wang Anshi, don't want me to use Sima Guang, then I will use it.

Is it true that without you, Wang Anshi, the imperial court can't get along?
If you dare to be hypocritical, then I will replace him with Sima Guang who is at odds with you.

After the official decree, Sima Guang also rejected the appointment of Deputy Privy Envoy.

Sima Guang also replied to the officials, saying that as long as your Majesty can give up the establishment of the Regulations Department and return the promotion of the officials, if you can't do the methods of young crops and equal losses, even if you don't need ministers, you will receive more rewards.

When the officials saw Sima Guang's memorial, they almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Seeing Wang Anshi not coming out, and Sima Guang refusing to dismiss him, the officials couldn't help being furious, thinking that I have been in power for three years, without the two of you, can it really be impossible to control the government?

So the officials ordered Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei and others to discuss the removal of Qingmiao Law.

As a result, it was easy to start this young crop method, but it is not easy to give up suddenly if it is to be popularized across the country.

The Qingmiao money has already been allocated, and your official said that I will change it later, how can I change it?After the abolition of this law, what should the common people do if they don't pay back the money?
So Zhongshu discussed it for several days, but couldn't come up with a regulation.

The officials went completely berserk. That night, Lu Huiqing and Lu Huiqing entered the palace in a hurry to declare Zhangyue.

Zhang Yue was sleeping soundly at home, and suddenly the envoy Xuanzhao let him enter the palace, he was really surprised, thinking that the official family had some disease, just like Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong.

Immediately, Zhang Yue rushed to the palace in a hurry, and happened to meet Lu Huiqing, and he didn't know what was going on, but he also rushed to the palace in the same daze as himself.

When they got to the palace, the two saw the official's face full of anger and bloodshot eyes.

As soon as the officials saw Zhang Yue, Lu Huiqing and Lu Huiqing said: "The two of you will draft and change this green crop law for me. When the matter is done, I will reward you for your work in power!"

Zhang Yue, Lu Huiqing was startled when she heard the words, what is this?
Let's take Wang Anshi and Sima Guang instead?

If we had known this, we would still be fighting for something!
