At five o'clock the next day, in the Zichen Palace, the morning court was held as scheduled

After the ministers who participated in the early dynasty shouted "long live" three times, Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, immediately told Zhang Maoze, the deputy commander of the inner chamberlain who was standing next to him, and ordered with full anger: "Deputy Zhang knows, you read the contents of the two recitals that I reviewed last night to the secretaries standing in the hall word for word. ”

Zhang Maoze, who was standing on the side, answered the "oh", and then took the two copies of the folds from the hands of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, and immediately turned around, facing the ministers who were lined up in the hall, and used the official dialect of the Central Plains to read the contents of the two folds in a straight and round manner.

When Zhang Mao finished reading, Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, immediately asked: "Fang Cai, Deputy Zhang knows the content of the two recitals, and according to my opinion, they should be implemented in Tokyo City as soon as possible. If the effect is very good, it can be fully promoted and implemented in my Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what the views and opinions of the ministers are on this? Let's give me a listen. ”

After getting the two copies of the recitals handed over by Zhao Huiruo, Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen fought for two hours at night, and it was not until the time of the day that the two recitals were approved.

For the content written on these two folds, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen felt overjoyed, he was bent on changing the law and trying to become stronger, and he had pinned all his hopes on Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi and others.

This made Song Renzong Zhao Zhen make the decision to let Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, who were in the northwest border, return to Beijing as soon as possible on top of yesterday's court, and now, he suddenly appeared a twenty-year-old street secretary Cheng Wang Hao, who was naturally ecstatic.

Because Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, worried that there would be too much opposition among the courtiers under the courtiers, he made his own statement at the beginning, after all, Wang Hao, the street secretary, had just taken office, and offended many court officials because of the demolition of illegal buildings that encroached on the street and occupied the road.

Sure enough, as Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen expected, the courtiers standing in the hall all let out their voices of admiration when they listened to the two recitals read out by Zhang Maoze.

However, when Zhang Mao read out the names of Wang Hao and Bao Zheng, many of them frowned, thinking that they could not be enemies of Bao Zheng.

No, when Song Renzong Zhao Zhen finished his inquiry, Wang Gongchen, who served as the middle of the imperial history, was the first to jump out and clearly express his opposition.

Wang Gongchen, who was holding the wat out of the ranks, objected with confidence: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the content of these two recitals is just a matter of listening, and it is not feasible to implement them in Tokyo City at present, for three reasons.

"First, the city of Tokyo, as the capital of our Great Song Dynasty, currently has more than 1.1 million registered households, and if we follow the contents of these two memoirs to manage more than 1.1 million people in the streets and alleys, it will definitely not be able to be implemented overnight, let alone in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty.

"Second, there are thousands of streets and alleys in Tokyo, and if white and yellow paint lines are drawn in each street and alley, and at each intersection, there are wooden signs in three different colors: red, yellow, and green, which will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Thirdly, the second item mentioned above is that the cost of paving stone roads on thousands of streets and alleys is very high, and the amount of money required is at least a million. Now, my Great Song Dynasty is using troops in the northwest, and in addition, the Khitan of Liao State in the north is exactly the use of money. The above three points are the words of the minister. ”

After listening to Wang Gongchen's objections to these three reasons, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was still confident, and suddenly felt that what Wang Gongchen said was not unreasonable, if it was implemented according to the content of these two memoirs, it would cost at least several million dollars, and now that the treasury is unable to make ends meet, where to get these millions of dollars is a major problem encountered at present.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Juzheng, who served as the governor of the council, also expressed his opposition and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister fully agrees with what Cheng said in the imperial history. Vice Zhang Duzhi knew that the contents of the two recitals read out, not to mention that they were implemented in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, or in the city of Tokyo, cost millions of dollars alone, and this alone was not feasible. ”

Seeing that Wang Gongchen and Wang Juzheng expressed their opposition, as many as ten courtiers also stood up one after another, echoing what Wang Gongchen and Wang Juzheng said, and they all expressed their opposition.

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, who didn't want to stop there, breathed a sigh of relief, then fell on Bao Zheng who was standing under the hall, and asked: "Bao Qing, the content of these two memoraries was written by you and Wang Sicheng, the street secretary.

"Just now, you've heard it too. As many as a dozen ministers believe that this is not feasible. So, in your opinion, is it feasible or not what is written in these two memoirs? I want to hear it now, Bao Qing, what you think. ”

Faced with Song Renzong's Zhao Zhen's questioning, Bao Zheng didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly took the wat out of the ranks, and replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, when the minister drafted these two memoirs, he was not thoughtful. Just now, what the ministers said, the ministers listened to it, but they were very reasonable. If you can't do what is listed in these two notes because you are afraid of spending money, there is no better way for the minister to do it at the moment. ”

Originally, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen thought that since Bao Zheng was one of the writers of these two memoirs, he would definitely have a way to deal with it, so he asked him by name in public.

However, after listening to Bao Zheng's answer, it suddenly made Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's heart half cold, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed about it.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu, who served as the right speaker, came out of the queue with a wat and proposed: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, Bao Gong is only one of the writers of these two memoranda, and the other writer is Wang Sicheng of the Street Division.

"Right now, Bao Gong can't come up with a countermeasure, maybe Wang Sicheng of the Street Division, he can come up with a countermeasure. In the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty may wish to summon Wang Sicheng of the Street Division and inquire about him in person. ”

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, after listening to Bao Zheng's answer, he had already made the decision to suspend the implementation, and suddenly at this time, when he heard Ouyang Xiu's proposal, he suddenly felt that this matter seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

So, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen didn't have time to think about it, so he instructed Ouyang Xiu, who was in charge of the right Zhengyan and Zhizhi, "Ouyang Gong,"
