back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 280
When Wang Anshi heard this, he seemed to have nothing to refute after thinking about it.It is already a great tolerance to be able to join the Dali Temple to listen in a white body.If he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and loses face to the little emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to get along today.Wang Anshi still understands such a simple truth, so let him accept it when he sees it!

"If Your Majesty handles it so impartially, Jiefu will have nothing to say."

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Is that why you beat the Dengwen drum?"

Wang Anshi suddenly raised his head and said: "No, this is one of the things Jiefu did, there is another thing."

Lu Chengqi glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Oh, let's listen."

Wang Anshi suddenly took a step forward, so frightened that the imperial guards around Lu Chengqi almost pulled out the knife handle with their hands holding the knife handle.On the contrary, Lu Chengqi was calm after all, and he admired Wang Anshi a little in his heart. It is true that this person is able to leave a name in the history.The aura of this step alone not only drives away most of the emperor's prestige that Lu Chengqi has managed for a long time, but also strengthens his own aura.If it wasn't for Lu Chengqi's previous knowledge of negotiation when he was a salesman in his previous life, he might have really been bluffed by this dude.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Wang Anshi said, "The second thing Jiefu complained about was the invitation from His Majesty Zhang Zaide in Guanzhong the day before yesterday to get into the carriage and have a chat."

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials who had been drowsy from hearing it all suddenly opened their eyes wide as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Although they still didn't dare to look at Lu Chengqi's face, their ears did perk up to listen.

Who wants to miss this good show?Censor Zhongcheng Li Ran just got into a fight with the little emperor, and this white scholar also talked about it. Everyone couldn't help but guess whether this Wang Anshi was a "good citizen" under Li Ran's rule, and he was entrusted by Li Ran. of?
Originally, Lu Chengqi's expression was quite leisurely, but when he heard the name Zhang Zai, his expression suddenly changed, and his whole face became serious. He glanced coldly at the entire Daqing Palace, found Li Ran, Yushi Zhongcheng, and thought about his relationship with him. Wang Anshi's relationship.

It's no wonder, how could it be such a coincidence, Li Ran Tingzheng is fine, why is it that Wang Anshi, who is beating Dengwen's drum, suddenly throws out such words at this time?It's hard not to associate them together!

"Jiefu doesn't know what talent that Zhang Zihou has. He is also white. Why can he be stationed in the Royal University to teach? Jiefu has practiced calligraphy and reading since he was a child. It's okay to think that he is talented. If you don't ask His Majesty, you will also appreciate Jiefu. Jiefu only asks for someone. With the same opportunity, I can talk to His Majesty in person!"

When Wang Anshi said this, Lu Chengqi was unexpected.Confucius said that it is indeed true that people do not worry about scarcity but about inequality.With a precedent, the people behind will inevitably be jealous.Even Wang Anshi, who has ambitions in his chest, cannot escape this law.As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.Why can you be appreciated by the little emperor with your talent and learning, but my talent and learning are much higher than yours, but I am still a white body?Wang Anshi probably had the same mentality, and Lu Chengqi could understand it after a little thought.

But Lu Chengqi also knew a thing or two about what kind of person Wang Anshi was in the history of the real card.Although his literary attainments are good, he does not care about the consequences in his administration.The starting point is good, but it is too anxious, too idealistic, and the power of the conservatives is too great. Even with the support of Song Shenzong, it is difficult to escape the end of failure.In fact, if Wang Anshi hadn't been so obstinate at that time, he would have made a compromise with the conservatives, and the Xining reform could have continued.It is not likely that as soon as Song Shenzong died, Song Zhezong came to the throne, and Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government behind the curtain, he would use the conservative Sima Guang to completely abolish the new law.

As for the effectiveness of Xining's reform, objectively speaking, it is still good.It took nearly 15 years from the successive implementation of the new law to the repeal of the new law by the conservatives.The new laws promulgated in the past 15 years include the equalization law, the young crops law, the market change law, the exemption law, the square land equal tax law, and the farmland water conservancy law in terms of finance; .Even if it didn't really fall into place, it still improved the poor and weak situation of the Northern Song Dynasty.If there was no Xining Reform in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not known whether the invasion of the Liao Kingdom could be stopped.I am afraid that before the rise of the Jurchens, the Northern Song Dynasty would perish.

From this point of view, Wang Anshi's ability is beyond doubt.He is a good official, but not a good politician.Politics is the art of compromise, in order to achieve the goal, the appropriate compromise is not weakness, but for the sake of the future.Officials and politicians are two different things. A good official does not necessarily make a good politician.This is also the reason why it is difficult for many good officials to be promoted. They have won word of mouth, but they don't know how to compromise, curry favor, or dredge their joints, so their promotion will naturally be slow.

Knowing how capable Wang Anshi is, Lu Chengqi dared to listen to his theory with confidence.There is no doubt about Wang Anshi's ability to improve the situation of the poor and weak Northern Song Dynasty.But there are many things, just listen to them, but you have to think twice before implementing them.Lu Chengqi has long learned the lesson of canceling the official salary. If a government order is issued, more than a million people will be implicated?

Having figured this out, Lu Chengqi immediately said: "I'm busy with political affairs, so I can't ignore state affairs just because you are white. How about this, Li Qing, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, told me that there will be a debate with Zhang Zai in three days, since You, Wang Anshi, are so confident, I also want you to reveal your talent in front of everyone, so you should join in."

Wang Anshi was slightly disappointed when he heard this.But he also knew that what Lu Chengqi said was not a lie.Dashun was not like the previous dynasties, there were not many political affairs, and the emperor could have fun all day long.Even with the establishment of a cabinet, the emperor still has a lot of political affairs to deal with.How could the little emperor waste so much time because he is a white scholar?
But with the hope of the imperial examination, Wang Anshi believes that with the knowledge he has accumulated over the years, he is no problem to be a sergeant.When the time comes to enter the pavilion to worship the prime minister, it may not be a matter of castles in the water!
Thinking of this, Wang Anshi immediately thanked him and said, "It's all up to His Majesty's arrangement!"

Once the matter Wang Anshi complained about was over, the drummer from Dengwen Drum Academy came to lead him out of the palace.Up to this time, it had already taken more than two hours for the routine court, and Lu Chengqi was a little tired as he saw that he was getting closer.It takes time, effort and effort to face these old officials in every court. If I go to the morning court every day, wouldn't it be my own life?
After Wang Anshi left the Daqing Hall, Lu Chengqi immediately said: "Do you have any important matters to announce? If not, then retreat!"

The civil and military officials are a little tired so far.Many people study with the prince and rarely speak.The regular court once every five days is nothing more than a battle between the little emperor and those officials who often speak, they just come to get acquainted.At most, I can hear some latest news, which can provide reference for myself to stand in the team in the future.The favorite of these officials is the little emperor's phrase "If there is something to do, to leave the court if there is nothing to do", it is like hearing the fairy sound!

After Lu Chengqi finished speaking, he got up and left without waiting for the officials to react.The servants and maids quickly followed.The Chinese and military officials of the Daqing Palace sang in unison, watched Lu Chengqi enter the apse, and then dispersed.
