After a short time, two high-level officials entered, in addition to the guards, as the sons of the big gentlemen, Su Zaifang accompanied Cai Zhizhou, and Li Jianyou accompanied Zhang Xuezheng.

According to the Great Song Dynasty system, Xuezheng is not counted as the deputy official of the Lord of Zhizhou, and there is one of the six Cao officials at the head of Xuezheng, just like the imperial court has six departments, and Zhizhou also has six directors of the same type, and Xuezheng is only an assistant in charge of education under the command of the "Rite Division".

However, in view of the particularity of the times, the cause of education is relatively independent, so in some regions and time periods, Xuezheng is tacitly regarded as the same level as Cao Guan.

In short, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the politics were relatively chaotic and changeable, and there were too many institutions and departments, and the jurisdiction was relatively chaotic and intertwined, like almost any department could manage the same affairs.

So much so that when doing something, it is often necessary to set up a special "so-and-so leading group", and if things cannot be completed in a short period of time, this so-called leading group will slowly become an entity organization.

According to the "Taizu Charter" that literary officials could not be laid off in the Northern Song Dynasty, it would lead to an additional administrative body from now on, which would further cause confusion in jurisdiction, and further bloated and redundant officials.

It was a financial crisis, similar to some of the later periods. Officials' pensions, special nursing expenses, and the operation and maintenance expenses of fixed administrative institutions are all in deficit, and they are really unable to pay money. As a result, an iron head came out to pull the hatred of the elites, greatly reduced the organization, reduced the establishment, bought out the seniority of officials, and laid off a large number of people within the system.

The history of that event is called "Yuanfeng Restructuring", and the executor is Wang Anshi, who has been thunderous and has been the backbone of people for hundreds of years.

In view of the fact that the "official grievances" caused by the reform into the deep water area were too great, Emperor Shenzong temporarily took over the authority of the Zhongshu Sect to buffer, resulting in the incomplete reform, but it has also cut many institutions and officials, saving a lot of expenses.

In fact, it is the difference between singing red face and white face, Wang Anshi went to pull hatred, and finally Emperor Shenzong came to be a good person. This is a historical drama of the chorus of the new party, the old party, and the wavering neutral emperor.

Now there are still many abuses and comments against Wang Anshi in the "library" of Weishan Academy, and one of the more interesting biographies is Zhang Ji's book:

Wang Xianggong is not always right, and he has many problems, but the paranoia that is close to faith is enough to make him one of the super-first-line figures in history.

Zhang Dian is an idealistic and iron-fisted person, but unfortunately he is more than fierce and not flexible enough, Lu Huiqing is more feminine and not rigid enough, and the two are taboo and unable to complement each other, resulting in them finally missing the first-line figures in history.

After Wang Anshi became a prince, almost no one could suppress Sima Guang, Lu Gongshu and others who had a popular literary reputation.

When Sima Guang presided over the negotiation of peace with the Western Xia land cution, Zhang Dian jumped out unconvinced and said, "After An Shi Xianggong's change, the northwest is fearless, and the person who talks about the land should be beheaded, Sima Guang can also listen to the words of the village master, don't think that he will smash the cylinder when he is a child, he will always be a prodigy, some people are more and more stupid as they grow up, and there are many prodigies and children in the Song Dynasty."

It seems to be true, dare to quarrel with Sima Guang and Empress Dowager Gao like this, of course, he kicked and flew away from Beijing, just like Fan Zhongyan changed places to become officials.

Lu Huiqing, who is dark and insidious, is the most able to bend and stretch, and endure like a poisonous snake until after Uncle Sima Guang died, and led the hardliners of the New Party to express his dissatisfaction: He is so terrible in Western Xia?

In the end, Lü Huiqing and Zhang Qi achieved a rare victory in the Northern Song Dynasty before the invasion of the Jin soldiers in the northwest, known as the Battle of Pingxia City, which completely reversed the strategic initiative of the Song and Xia dynasties, causing the Liao Empire to sit still and intervene in mediation.

Lu Huiqing is really insidious, but the biggest role of his life is to use the battle of Pingxia City to prove the role of Wang Anshi's reform.

The northwest is actually the "special military zone" of Wang Anshi's reform, which has been retained as a small model, even if it has passed to this rotten year, the Western Army is still the only army that the Great Song Dynasty can fight.

These are Zhang Ji's general evaluations of this period of history, which were kept in the "library" of Weishan Academy as academics, and were not harmonized. Of course, it is also related to Zhang Ji's special identity, otherwise Cai Jing's period as the prime minister would not be harmonious with the discussion of Wang Anshi, but Lu Huiqing's three words are basically "shielded".

That's good, although this can't be included in the official history for the time being, it can also be used as a kind of local chronicle, leaving it for interested students to understand Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian and others, instead of just reading the history books written by Uncle Sima Guang who can smash the cylinder and lead the Su scholars.

Zhao Cheng thinks it doesn't matter whether Zhang Ji's writing is true or not, history only has results and no truth. It seems that because of her thoughts, she is not very interested in Zhao Cheng's new ideas.

In the environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yanqing and others can be reused, and they are independent of the northwest without interference with the idea of martial artists, especially the arrogant guy who offended Cai Jing and is still in office and is not supervised by the civil ministers, there is only one reason: the northwest is a "special military zone" left by Wang Anshi, which established the particularity of the Western Army.

Of course, it won't take long for the Western Army to also take pills, and in a few years, the only army that can fight in the Great Song Dynasty will be pulled into Yanyun by Tong Guan, a eunuch, and be killed. The ending is that the Jurchen Tartars drove into Tokyo and treated the Han people as two-legged sheep, and slowly entered the era of the well-known "Legend of the Condor Heroes", known as the Southern Song Dynasty in history......

The forum hasn't officially started yet, and it's all over the place drinking tea and chatting.

Cai Zhizhou looked like an elegant middle-aged uncle, twisted his beard and asked Su Zaifang beside him: "Is Su Gong's old man still well?" ”

Su Zai showed his face, deliberately glanced at Zhao Cheng and Zhang Ji who were nearby, bowed down and said: "Lao Zhizhou cares about the old man, his old man is in good health, but after all, he is old, and he is always worried about returning to his hometown in Meishan to care for the elderly." ”

Cai Zhizhou just asked casually, in fact, Lao Su was really not looked at by Cai Zhizhou, so Lord Zhizhou looked around and no longer talked to Su Zaifang.

Su Zaifang was inevitably a little embarrassed, and lowered his head slightly.

With the inheritance of the Su family, and the identity of grandfather Su Zhe as a doctor in the court, it is indeed a situation where others bow their heads elsewhere. But in front of Cai Zhizhou and Zhang Jiyu, it really can't work.

Regarding Zhang Ji, Zhao Cheng is a figure who has recently heard the discussion of students and knows that he is too awesome to do, and he is the youngest daughter of Zhang Shuye, the current doctor of the court. The niece of Zhang Kegong, the squire of the military department.

In addition to being a famous historical minister, Zhang Shuye's grandfather Zhang Qiguan was the privy envoy (prime minister), his grandfather Wu Tingzuo was also an official to the privy envoy, and his grandmother Huayuan was the granddaughter of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

If you talk about the lineage of the family, there are really not many people who have Uncle Zhang in the court. It is for this reason that Zhang Shuye relied on the shade to make up for the office, and he was the only one in the court who did not take the Jinshi examination but became an official to the household department.

Lao Zhang in history is an irascible character, his younger brother Zhang Kejian and himself are the heroes of the whole family who died in the fight against Jin, and Song Jiang, the invincible thief, was also killed by Lao Zhang.

The strange thing is that the youngest daughter Zhang Ji not only inherited Lao Zhang's gun character, but also had a great literary talent. There is a joke in the market that Zhang Ji later laughed at women who like literature and said, "Only this one, don't imitate, you can't get in if I can get in, and you can't be guilty of this matter."

Zhang Ji is telling the truth, if she weren't for Zhang Shuye's daughter and a relative of Emperor Taizong, although the consequences would not be dead, she would definitely be very ecstatic.

In addition, Cai Jing's biggest opponents now are Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong, of course, it has not been white-hot, and in a few years, Zhang Ji's troll-like uncle Zhang Kegong will openly impeach Cai Jing.
