In his previous life, Wu Song also felt a serious gap between the rich and the poor. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the gap between the rich and the poor in this era is so serious that it still exceeds his imagination.

However, why did one of the most famous corrupt officials and traitors in history send a secret envoy to Qinghe Zhixian for this?

Xu En saw Wu Song's serious doubts and said, "Although you have a very prejudiced prejudice against the public minister, however, when the official comes to you tonight, you still have to start with the public minister." Everyone in the world knows that the prime minister was originally the successor expected by Wang Wengong。。。。。。 ”

Wu Song asked, "Who is Wang Wengong?" ”

As a person who traveled through his previous life, he really didn't know who this Wang Wengong was. Although Xu En was surprised, he thought that Wu Song had only come to Qinghe County from the countryside after all, and he didn't know anything about many major affairs of the dynasty, and it was normal, so he patiently explained to him: "Wang Wengong is Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu, the prime minister of the Shenzong Dynasty, and the leader of Xining's reforms!" ”

Wu Song suddenly understood: "It turned out to be him!" Wang Anshi's change, I remember! But how could he get involved with the traitor Cai Jing? How could a traitor like Cai Jing be his successor? ”

Although he was not a liberal arts student in his previous life, Wang Anshi's changes were introduced when he was in middle school, so he knew something about it.

Xu En was helpless to see that he still insisted that Cai Jing was a traitor, but he actually knew about Wang Anshi's reform of the law, which made Xu En a little surprised.

Xu En didn't distinguish between Wu Song and said: "Back then, Wang Wengong personally said to Lord Cai Bian, the elder brother of the Prime Minister, that in the future, there are only three people who can inherit his ambition and take charge of national affairs, one is Wang Yuanze, the son of Wang Wengong, the other is Lu Huiqing, and the other is the Prime Minister. Now, Wang Yuanze unfortunately died early, and Lu Huiqing later succeeded Duke Wen as prime minister, but because Wang Wengong was reused, he was sent to the local government. Therefore, now, the only one who can really succeed Wang Wengong is the prime minister! ”

Wu Song said: "How is this possible? Cai Jing is just an insatiable traitor, how can he be so valued by Wang Anshi? ”

Xu En was dumbfounded. This Wu Song is really a tendon, and it seems that his prejudice against Cai Jing is deep-rooted. He is a countryman, where did Cai Jing offend him?

A moment and a half. It was also difficult for Wu Song to believe that Cai Jing was not a traitor, so Xu En still did not argue with him, but continued: "After the death of Emperor Shenzong, major changes occurred in the court, and all the reforms implemented by Wang Wengong were abolished. Sima Guang was reused as a minister, the new law was abolished, and all ministers who supported Wang Wengong's reforms were attacked and persecuted. Sima Guang had used the pretext of reinstating the old law on errand duty to complete the process within five days, and wanted to punish officials who supported the reform on the pretext that they could not complete the orders on time. However, the Prime Minister was the prefect of Kaifeng at the time, and only he restored the errand service law within five days, and no one dared to violate it, even Lord Sima Guang had to praise him, he was a model of the law! ”

Wu Song said: "Since this Cai Jing supports Wang Anshi, why is he so active in serving Sima Guang, who opposes Wang Anshi's changes?" Isn't this a typical duplicitous traitor? ”

Xu Endao: "The prime minister wants to seek perfection with compromises, strive for the understanding of Lord Sima Guang, and continue to stay in the imperial court." However, he was regarded as the successor by Wang Wengong that day, and the old party faction, how could he let him go? In the end, he was accused of being a traitor, expelled from the court, and demoted to a local official. It wasn't until Emperor Zhezong activated Zhangdun and wanted to re-implement the reform of the law that the prime minister returned to the court as an official. He actively assisted Zhang Dian to re-implement the new law with great efficiency, and then changed the errand service law to the employment law, but because of this, he was said to be the first rat at both ends, and between the two factions of the new party and the old party, he was a traitor! ”

Wu Song said: "That's right, Cai Jing is a traitor!" ”

Xu En glanced at Wu Song, and continued to say: "Zhezong died, and now that Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, someone wrote a letter to accuse the minister, saying that he was an official and cunning, had too close contacts with people in the palace, was corrupt and perverted the law, and his crime was unforgivable. As a result, the prime minister was driven out of the imperial court, deprived of his official position, and left Hangzhou idle! ”

Wu Song shouted: "Okay! Such a traitor should be dismissed from office and punished! The current emperor has done a great thing! However, why is Cai Jing, a traitor, now the prime minister? ”

Xu En pointed to Zhangjiabao, where the lights were still brilliant in the distance, and said, "This is the reason!" ”

Wu Song was puzzled and said: "Could it be that Cai Jing can be reactivated by the emperor and become the prime minister, and it has something to do with this big household?" ”

Xu Endao: "Of course not. The Prime Minister had never been to Qinghe County, and he didn't know that there was a Zhangjiabao in Qinghe County. He became prime minister again, it was completely the emperor's favor, how could it be related to such an upstart as Zhang Dahu? ”

Wu Song immediately understood, and said: "What do you mean, my lord, Cai Jing was able to regain the emperor's reuse, in fact, because of the very serious gap between the rich and the poor in the current society?" ”

Xu En nodded and said, "Not bad!" Zhangjiabao is actually just a microcosm of our current Great Song Dynasty. Looking at the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many Zhangjiabao there are! Zhangjiabao symbolizes the accumulation of land, the concentration of wealth, the encroachment on people's livelihood, and the huge gap between the rich and the poor! Under such a gap between the rich and the poor, most of the wealth in the world was accumulated in the hands of local tyrants and inferior gentry like Zhang Dahu, and the people were poor and miserable, and the court tax revenue was also empty. Now, there are foreign enemies in the north, thieves are swarming everywhere, there are many places for the imperial court to use money, and the treasury is completely empty! ”

It's a given! If the common people are poor, will the country still have money?

Xu En then told Wu Song: "Today's Long Live Lord now feels that the treasury is empty and the state affairs are difficult, so he wants to re-implement the reform of Wang Wengong's law to increase taxes and improve people's livelihood. And in today's world, there is no one who can take on the heavy responsibility of re-implementing reforms than the public minister! ”

I really didn't expect that this great traitor in history would still be so capable!

Xu En continued to say Cai Jing: "A year ago, the imperial court officially deposed the original Prime Minister Han Cheng and appointed the Prime Minister as the right servant, that is, the right prime minister. On the day the edict was handed down, the current Banzai Lord personally summoned him in the Yanhe Palace, granted him a seat, and said to the Prime Minister: 'The Divine Sect created the law and established the system, the first emperor inherited it, and the two were changed, and the national plan has not yet been determined. I want to inherit my father's and brother's legacy, what advice do you have? 'The emperor's deep hopes and trust in the Prime Minister are simply incomprehensible! ”

Because he had learned some about Cai Jing in the books of his previous life, it was still difficult for Wu Song to change his opinion of Cai Jing at this time. Moreover, from the books of his previous life, he also knew that this Song Huizong was a confused emperor himself.

said to Xu En: "This emperor Lao Er has seen the wrong person. Reform is a major national event, and if a big traitor is appointed to lead the promotion of reform, it will definitely be a mistake! ”
