At the end of December, the eyes are on the way to the new year. With the help of the reputation of New Year's greetings, the royal family is like a city, and there are hundreds of officials and generals in Beijing who came to pay New Year's greetings to the Great Demon King.

The big goose was very annoyed by this, and scolded everyone to their faces to leave.

Later, a few heavyweights such as Lu Huiqing, Xue Xiang, Shen Kuo, Li Shizhong, Mu Guiying, Di Yong, Ma Jinxi and other core groups were reluctantly invited into the Great Demon King's study for a small Chinese New Year's Eve tea party.

In the tea room, Lu Huiqing, who was the waiter of the Chinese book at the time, seized the opportunity and said: "Enxiang is so old, how can he abandon the new dynasty, he is still retiring early in his twenties, how can he say that he is not strong enough at this time?" In addition to chilling everyone's hearts, students beware of your departure, which will bring about a counterattack by the 'Confucianism' and ruin the foundation of our Industrial Party. ”

"That is, we don't want to disturb Xianggong to retire, but we have entered a new era of development, and if there is no Xianggong to lead the way, it is easy to enter a fork in the road." Xue Xiang, Shen Kuo, and Li Shizhong also followed suit.

The rest of the generals are even more worried, Lu Huiqing and these guys have a card to avoid death, but if the Great Demon King retires, the Corrupt Confucian Party will not look so good when they pack up the soldiers. So they also lobbied.

After Wang Yan got up and paced for a while, he smiled slightly: "Do you think my table is important, or am I important?" ”

These guys looked at each other and said in unison: "It's important to be a good friend!" ”

"But you're wrong."

The Great Demon King stopped and said, "The table is far more important than me, and I will always disappear one day. But when the table is there, there will always be someone sitting on it. The royal table is like this, the phase table is like this, and the general table is like this. ”

"There will always be a supreme table, and if there is a table, there will be people to sit on, and if someone sits, there will be a meeting, and it doesn't matter whether that meeting is called a court meeting, a people's congress committee, or a congress. It doesn't matter if the position is called the emperor, the prime minister, the prime minister or the chairman. The table is there, and there is one or a group of people in that place. This is the platform, the rules, or the alternative performance of the legal system. ”

"Well, what I said above is more abstract, so the simple description is: the bloodline of the army is to a certain extent the most typical commander formed, the bloodline will not be easily changed after the formation, but it will definitely change gradually, in the future, whether it is a new soldier or a new commander, will be affected by this number, and move closer to this bloodline to learn, here, let's compare this process to the 'table' I just said."

At this point, Lu Huiqing and the others looked at each other.

Wang Yan continued: "You all think too much, if my Great Song Dynasty is an army, as the most distinctive commander, my table has been left in the capital, and it is not my private property but state-owned resources. Even to a certain extent, it is the will of the state, the person is not important, the bloodline of that table is important. For example, even if Yang Xiaoshuang retires, a new commander takes office for a period of time, no matter who he is, he will be affected by the 'Dragoon' number banner, not that he changes the dragoon, it must be the dragoon's number to urge him to change, this is called inheritance! ”

"The Industrial Revolution had already begun, and at this point, there was virtually no force that could stop it, not even me."

"Now the most conservative local consuls have also been hijacked by the profits and taxes provided by industry, and more and more workers and their families are benefiting from the factories. More and more factory owners are benefiting from the rise of the Industrial Party. This is the replacement of the old and new rights, compared with the old peasant sages and the new bourgeoisie, the 'bargaining power' of the local government has been strengthened, this is the rise of the industrialists, and the loneliness of the old aristocracy. There will be struggles in this process, but it is irreversible. ”

"Based on the industrial dividend, the new local officials of the Industrial Party have been frantically strengthening their 'bargaining power' with the central government, and no one understands this point better than Lu Huiqing. In this process, the factory owners were boosted by the workers, the industrial teachers were boosted by the industrial students, the industrial party officials were boosted by all of them, and the Central Committee was boosted by you. This is the original state of a spark, which has long passed the stage where it can be extinguished by the corrupt party. ”

"Five years ago, if I hadn't been able to do without me, I would have been beaten to death by the Rotten Confucians as soon as I left the Industrial Party. As soon as I leave office, the local factory owners will be sent by the farmers and village sages to fight, bite, scold, and frame to death. At that time they did not have 'bargaining power' because the local bureaucracy did not understand what they were. Now that industry has formed a trend, it is no longer reversible, because the proportion of interests and rights has been replaced, which is materialism. ”

"I'm a complicated person, and I don't want to see the above things, but this is the law of materialism, and I can't reverse it. And I don't want to see the child I give birth to irreversibly grow into the way I hate. So don't embarrass me, and don't embarrass the emperor. My service to the Great Song Dynasty has been completed, and I have given birth to a child, so don't force me to face an unlikable child, so as to have heart problems and contradictions with each other. I have my insistence, and the last thing I want in my life is to whip my own children with a leather whip knowing that it is not right, if it falls to this point, then what is the difference between me and the Confucianism Party? ”

Speaking of this in one breath, these core figures of the Industrial Party not only have confidence in their hearts, but also finally understand the dilemma of the Great Demon King, he is really afraid. It's like a boy who can't control the sparrow, and he doesn't know how to face it after he gives birth to a son?

With his fan-like mentality, this "industrial son" will inevitably grow into a form he doesn't like after being born, but the unquenchable fire of the industrial party has been formed, and this is the "table" he left to the Great Song Dynasty, he said: There is always someone to sit on the table.

The above is not pretending to be forced, it is Wang Yan's heartfelt words, what the Great Song Dynasty will be like in the future, Wang Yan knows better than anyone else. The Industrial Party no longer needs protection, but others can only pray for mercy from the Industrial Party.

The future scene of the Great Song Dynasty has been clearly written in the textbook-like history of the later generations of American emperors.

During the period of the great development of the eagle, the new industrial capital took the attitude of "outsiders" and all-round the blood and tears of the local village sages, that is, the red-necked farmers, which was not gentle in history.

Industry is a monster that has kidnapped the federal government, but the farmers who hold the vast majority of the land, and their land is buried with endless treasures such as resources, minerals, and oil, which the Industrial Party peeps on, so the endless demolition and anti-demolition movement begins.

Given the asymmetry of profits, taxes and campaign resources, and the fact that the Industrial Party has the strongest bargaining power over the federal government, it will of course open up the "legitimate" actions of the demolition office.

Not to mention US imperialism, unfortunately this kind of thing can happen in any country, especially in the early stages of development. It's just the difference between being gentle and being rough. If it is rough, it is manifested in the behavior of the thief eagle towards the Indians, and if it is mild, it is manifested in the urine of the rabbit real estate developer.

Nothing new, this is the fangs of industrial capital, the two-sided nature of things. It is also a basically irreversible materialist view of history. At least those who are more capable than Wang Yan have also failed.

The emergence of the Industrial Party is irreversible because they are "interests" and have the strongest bargaining power. The emergence of the Industrial Party will rely on its new bargaining power to kill them. But this does not mean that the village sage class has disappeared, it is just that the old village sage has been beheaded under the horse, and the factory owner has become a "new village sage".

This process is just as the Great Demon King said: power is the table, and there are people to sit on the table, no matter what they are called, the essence is the replacement of the old and the new. The old red-necked landlord was killed, and the table was left behind, so the bankers and industrial tycoons sat at the table.

Now that he is at the table, whether he is the big red neck or the CEO of Mobil Oil, in short, he will definitely have bargaining power with the emperor and the prime minister. It doesn't matter who the emperor and the prime minister are.

This is the essence and rules of this table-marked game. It is also the "theory that the table is more important" that the Great Demon King said.

The Great Demon King is not a show, but he is powerless to change and doesn't want to play. Just like the Great Demon King didn't want to organize Han people to fight each other in the Yanyun area, he didn't want to see the eldest son and the second son fight each other on the battlefield or in court for the sake of profit in this revolution. In the tug-of-war between several parties, they can gradually pull the emperor and the capital hall into misery and even fall apart. The emperor and the capital hall are just symbols, in fact, they can also be called the president, the prime minister, the National Assembly, the people's congress or something.

"Am I running away? Maybe, but my explanation for stealing the bell is free and easy. Don't try to fool me, don't try to imprison me in the shrine, and continue to use my banner to pull hatred. Let me retire, it's good that you don't ruin me, and I still need to protect you? Fool it! ”

This is the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Great Demon King's last discussion with the old obscenities of the Industrial Party, and then drove them all away, threatening to break the dog's legs if they dare to enter the Wang's house to make trouble......

In January of the second year of Zhiping, the Great Demon King submitted his resignation for the third time, and finally at the suggestion of Empress Cao, Zhao Zongshi reluctantly agreed, and personally presided over the retirement ceremony of the "old man".

Zhao Zongshi accepted Wang Yan's resignation as a servant under his disciples, and accepted Wang Yan's resignation to judge the privy council. However, he did not agree with Wang Yan's resignation as Taishi, and at the same time retained Wang Yan's title of "Military Peace and Chapter".

In private, Zhao Zongshi specially left Wang Yun to have a discussion and said: "The various theologies of Xianggong on the occasion of Chinese New Year's Eve, I have listened to the Chinese book waiter Lu Huiqing and others talk about it, and I am very shocked, and I have a refreshing and enlightened feeling. But you resolutely retreated, leaving me with such a heavy responsibility, how can I bear it? Returning to the emperor is the respect of the prime minister for the national law and the former emperor, but this does not mean that the minister cannot serve in the imperial court, isn't this the 'lazy government' thinking that the minister said? ”

Wang Yan said softly: "The official family clearly sees that this is the first and last time that the minister is willful, in short, the minister's service has been completed, don't ask me." It is true that the minister can still remain as a privy envoy and a servant, but what is the point of the minister? ”

Zhao Zongshi was stunned.

Wang Yan continued: "After the return of the minister, when the official family officially takes over the government, if the minister continues to remain in the post of prime minister, the minister must ask, when the official family has an opinion, do you pass the minister or not? If you and I disagree, the resulting credibility and political chaos will not be a blessing. According to the rules of the ministers during the National War, if they continue to stay as prime minister, will the courtiers do things and make speeches, whether they will pass through the ministers or not? If they don't pass it, they are worried that they will offend the minister, and it will be a joke for the minister to stay in office. In addition to reducing the effectiveness and credibility of the dynasty, it will not play a role. The minister only did construction all his life, and did not want to drag the Song Dynasty back, which was the center. ”

In the end, Wang Yan said: "Please refer to the Renming Hall meeting at that time, why the minister's father Wang Anshi will retire, you can understand the minister's thoughts." ”

At this point, Zhao Zongshi didn't say anything more, and saw off the Great Demon King with gratitude.

Wang Yan's rhetoric is from the heart, not pretending.

As the leader of the world war, Qiangang was at the peak of his dictatorship, and it was impossible for Wang Yan to stay in office at this time. The same rights and wages can only be increased and not reduced, and those who have reached the peak can no longer be advanced, on the contrary, they are commanded by their own students, and it is called humiliation to obey, and disobedience is what some groups say "disobedience", and it is also a political split, which Wang Yan is not interested in.

It was the same as Wang Anshi's retirement at that time, as a father, the eldest Wang was an assertive leader, and in the case of local ideological differences, Wang Anshi definitely had no face to be his son's subordinate. Just like now Wang Yan will not be Zhao Zongshi's "subordinate".
