Chapter 264: Ancestors are not enough

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers said aloud again, holding the banwat, moving their feet together, and standing in two rows.

Chen Pi hugged the floating dust and said routinely: "Do something!" ”

There was silence in the hall.

The revival of the 'new law' is at this time, but at this juncture, whether it is the 'old party' or the 'new party', the mentality is complicated and difficult to speak.

Su Song, Han Zongdao and others held the banwat with calm faces. They could feel a lot of stares, but they didn't react at all.

Their 'old party' is an absolute minority in this court, and more than 60 people are only a handful of them. The trend of the times, what you do and say here is just a futile exercise!

Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others are the most excited, Xining has passed 25 years from now, which has experienced too much, after Wang Anshi's resignation, the 'new law school' went to a downturn, and then to the Yuanyou Dynasty, the 'old party' set off an unprecedented 'poetry case', and sat down at every turn, expelling the 'new party' from the court.

The 'New Party' was in a desperate situation, and although it was still struggling, it was almost desperate in the face of the continuous suppression of the 'old party' forces headed by Empress Dowager Gao.

Who would have thought that the peak turned around, and the Empress Dowager Gao, who was 'changed from mother to son', was attacked by her grandson, Emperor Yuanyou's sudden strong backlash, and was caught off guard, she actually lost her authority and was forced to withdraw the curtain and return to power.

Regardless of whether Emperor Yuanyou wanted to take revenge on the oppression of the Empress Dowager Gao, his refusal to return to power and the humiliation of the 'old party', or whether he really wanted to reform, the 'new party' didn't care, they desperately wanted to continue the unfinished business many years ago!

A lot of things flashed in front of Zhang Dan's eyes, among which Wang Anshi was the most, the one who was worried about the country and the people, strict with himself, and a teacher and friend.

The current Wang Xianggong is still covered in dirt, and he has been slandered for nothing from beginning to end, this is simply not a person, he is a demon who crawled out of hell, from ancient times to the present, it seems that no one has been slandered to such an extent!

Zhang Dan's eyes were red, countless thoughts were surging in his heart, the resentment was difficult to suppress, the corners of his face twitched, and he suddenly withdrew one foot, raised the pan wat and was about to speak.

"Your Majesty!"

Before he opened his mouth, Cai Bian on his right hand went to the first rank, only to see Cai Bian's face was flat, holding a banwat, and said loudly: "The first emperor devoted his life to eliminating maladministration and benefiting the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and he still remembered it when he was dying. Please ask Your Majesty to follow his father as a son and explain the new law. ”

Description, the meaning of inheritance, inheritance of the ancestors.

Cai Bian is Wang Anshi's son-in-law, deeply valued by Wang Anshi, and is Wang Anshi's right-hand man, and his feelings for Wang Anshi are deeper than Zhang Dan.

Seeing this, Zhang Dian withdrew his foot.

There were more than 60 people in the hall, all of whom looked at Cai Bian and then at Zhao Xu.

Cai Bian's move broke the originally planned order of the court.

Zhao Xu's throat was itchy, he wanted to cough, his face was hot, even if he didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his face should be a little pale.

Zhao Xu listened to Cai Bian's words, but he could understand, glanced at Su Song, Zhang Dian and others, and swept over the ministers, seeing everyone waiting with bated breath, he smiled slightly, and said, "Li Qingchen." ”

Li Qingchen, who had a thin face, stood out with a solemn face, raised his hand and said, "The minister is here." ”

This one is married to Han Zhongyan's cousin.

Zhao Xu sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Come forward, proclaim." ”

"Yes." Li Qingchen stepped forward, and the holy decree prepared by Chen Pi was handed over to Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen took it with a full salute, then saluted Zhao Xu, turned around and held the will in one hand, took two steps forward, and looked at the ministers with blazing eyes.

"By will." Li Qingchen said loudly.

Su Song, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian and others looked at it, their expressions were slightly complicated, although the procedure was disrupted, it was nothing to those of them who were old in Huan Hai.

"Commandment!" More than 60 people, all holding the board wat road.

Li Qingchen spread out the holy decree, and said in a clear voice with a low tone and frustration: "I only have the life of a horse, admire the former king, consider the ministers of loyalty and filial piety, and have the descendants of the seedlings of the tomb......"

This edict was drafted by Li Qingchen, and although he was condescending between the lines, he still inherited the will of the first emperor and revived the 'law of Xining'.

This is an official 'edict', the constitution of heaven, and the supreme law!

The will was not long, Li Qingchen quickly finished, and said loudly: "...... The ministers are attentive, the people rely on it, the sun and the moon are long, and the heavens and the earth learn together. Chin this! ”

"Minister's order." The ministers held the wat and straightened their waists.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, and could vaguely hear the sound of rapid breathing, and even the sound of a pounding heartbeat.

Zhao Xu also quietly took a deep breath, he had prepared so much, and after so long, he finally landed.

"The second course." Zhao Xu forcibly suppressed the itching in his throat, and said in a calm voice.

Chen Pi picked up the second holy decree and handed it to Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen was stunned, and took it subconsciously.

The ministers below were even more stunned, and looked at the 'second edict' in Li Qingchen's hand for some reason, they actually knew the normal procedures drawn up by the political affairs hall, first Cai Bian broke it, and at this time, the official family did not play cards according to common sense?

Everyone was just stunned, and quickly returned to the normal order of the proclamation.

Li Qingchen spoke, and the following raised his hand to receive the order.

"I am the life of Haotian, Bo De succeeds to the unification, and the throne is the heir to the throne when I am young, trembling, walking on thin ice, looking at the past of the previous dynasty, and watching the gains and losses of a hundred years. The first emperor is famous for his holy virtues, and his subjects are hundreds of millions, and they all know it...... However, the powerful ministers abused their power, humiliated the emperor, bullied the people, usurped the government of the emperor, and ruined the foundation of the world...... Today, I will explain the new law, and hope that all the ministers will respect the law, abide by their duties, do not rely on virtue and power, and abandon selfishness with the heart of a great duke...... Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. ”

Li Qingchen recited the holy decree, and his expression became more and more serious.

This edict almost pointed out the names of Sima Guang and others, who is Sima Guang, the head of the 'three sages' praised by everyone in the 'old party', the great Confucian who is respected by the world, and the famous reluctance to be a prince!

Su Song and the others held the board wat silently.

Sima Guang abolished Emperor Shenzong's 'Xining Law', which was indeed disloyal and unfilial in terms of etiquette.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are actually very similar, Wang Anshi is determined to change the law, and it doesn't work if anyone says it. He is knowledgeable, writes books and speaks, and is a generation of great Confucians. Extremely demanding of himself, there is almost nothing to blame.

Of course, it's another thing to pick a bone in an egg.

Sima Guang affirmed that the 'new law' was a disaster in the world, insisted on repealing it from beginning to end, seized the opportunity, and really abolished it without hesitation.

These two 'reluctant ministers' still have similarities, Wang Anshi's change is against the ancestral system, which is the biggest pain point of the 'old party'.

And Sima Guang's abolition of the 'new law' is facing the same problem, the first emperor is the emperor and the ancestor, how can the later generations of courtiers change it?

Wang Anshi's change of law can be said to give a reason in a dignified manner, that is, the very bold 'three no's': the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate!

Sima Guang used the name of the Empress Dowager: to change from mother to son.

Both of them are actually changing the law, and one has changed the old law, that is, the law of the ancestors; One changed the new law and restored the old law; The thing is the same, the reasons are different, and it also shows the difference in the fundamental position of the two.

A bold, broken old; A cautious, conservative way.
