In the main hall, the debate continued, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. www.. org

Sima Guang looked at Cui Wenqing, a few imperceptible strange emotions floated gently, he nodded flatly, and cherished the words like gold, "You say!" ”

Cui Wenqing raised his hand to thank him, and said eloquently, "Sima Xianggong is right, in the past dynasties, it is true that the old man came to seek the country, and many ministers waited until a certain age to have the opportunity to take charge of the center, but this situation is indeed relatively speaking, why?" Because in history, there are also young monarchs and ministers who have made earth-shattering careers. 30 years old! How old is Su Qinhe's longitudinal hanging of the Six Kingdoms? 32 years old! How old is Gan Luo for Prime Minister Qin? 12 years old! Therefore, in terms of governance, age is not a problem, nor is seniority, the key is talent and ability. ”

Sima Guang was not so easily persuaded by Cui Wenqing, he sneered, "But Cui Wenqing, don't forget, you are only twenty years old this year, a twenty-year-old minister, and you are still a scholar who has only been in the government for a year, what kind of talent do you think you have for governing the country?!" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said, "Sima Xianggong, the results are made, not spoken, you don't even give me the opportunity to display your talents, how can the lower officials show their talents?" ”

Sima Guang tightened his old face and said, "But the opportunity you want is to cause trouble to my Great Qi Dynasty!" It's really a demon who changes the law! ”

This remark can be said to be the final word, that is, Sima Guang firmly believes that Cui Wenqing's move to develop the bank is a disaster for the government.

In this way, it is equivalent to pushing Cui Wenqing to the opposite side of the conservatives, and also pushing the bank to the opposite side of the conservatives, and the matter has also changed from the initial reform debate to a new round of struggle between the conservatives and the reformers.

The ministers who knew the factors couldn't help but murmur secretly in their hearts, only afraid that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the two powerful ministers, would start to stage a tearing war in the palace again.

Sure enough, after hearing Sima Guang's words, Wang Anshi's old face couldn't help but sink, and he was about to leave the class to play.

Suddenly, a woman's cough sounded in the hall that was so quiet that only a needle fell, which was very abrupt among the ministers full of men.

The ministers who didn't know what to do looked at each other in surprise, obviously feeling very surprised, how strange it was that there was a woman in Lang Lang's court!

At this moment, a clear and steady young female voice came out from the curtain on the side of the hall, "Official, Jiying Palace, scholar of the Ying Palace, Guozi Cheng Chen Ningmo has a play!" ”

It was the lord of Luoyan County!

Hearing this, the ministers understood, you must know that Chen Ningmo is the only female bachelor in the history of Daqi, and she is also a world-famous wise man, whether it is her identity or her talent, she has the right to come to this court.

It's a pity that according to the rules, the daughter can only hide behind the curtain, but she can't play in the palace like a man, which is a pity.

"Imperial sister, please speak!" Chen Hong smiled faintly, his tone was very polite, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

After a short silence behind the curtain, Chen Ningmo's voice was heard, "Today's court held a grand court meeting, which can be described as the princes of Gonggon, the ministers, and all my colleagues are all the pillars of my Daqi, and they are also the prominent ministers who guard the pastoral side for my Daqi, so to speak, each of you can say that a word and a decision from each of you can affect the fate of thousands of people, and also affect the national fortune of my Daqi from now on, so Ning Mo thinks that you can be more cautious in the face of Cui Wenqing's "Suggestions on the Development of Daqi Bank?" ”

Although these words are soothing words, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Ningmo is secretly speaking for Cui Wenqing.

Sima Guang is old in political affairs, so he can naturally hear Chen Ningmo's voice, his face does not change, his tone remains the same, and he calmly and clearly expounds his views: "Master Chen, it is precisely because the old minister adheres to the way of prudence in politics that he can't be indifferent to the evil and the chaos, if he listens to Cui Wenqing's advice today, and something goes wrong in the future, who can bear this responsibility?" Scold! To tell the truth, not only can the old minister not be able to take it, but the minister of An Shi can't take it, but I'm afraid that even the official family can't explain it to the ancestors and ancestors? Does the bachelor think that the old minister said this? ”

In the face of Sima Guang's vague sarcasm, Chen Ningmo smiled lightly, and said calmly, "Seeing is believing, hearing is false, this time the slave led the new science and technology to the four states of the north to observe and study under the order of the official, and saw that many of the certifications implemented by Lord Cui have blossomed in the local area, and have been supported by all the people, especially Lord Cui has exempted the grain tax of the people resettled in other places on Jiangnan Road, which can be said to be a benefit to one party, and there are many supporters, not to mention the animal husbandry and cotton planting, all of this, the imperial court should know it in its heart." , how can you be stubborn, but treat good products as dregs? ”

Cui Wenqing interjected, "In the next sentence, whether it is animal husbandry or cotton planting, as the main body of the acquisition, Hedong Bank has paid a high amount of breeding and planting fees to the people, taking pig breeding as an example, every month Hedong Bank pays about 500,000 taels of silver to farmers, based on the total population of 500,000 households in the four states of the north, each household has an increase of one or two silver per month, ministers, what is the concept of one or two silver per household? It can be said that this move will greatly improve the production and life of the people. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Wenqing exhaled deeply, looked around firmly and confidently, and also revealed a high-spirited spirit, "I Cui Wenqing is not a rhetorical hypocrite, not an old-fashioned antique, I only know how to be for the government and the people, for the government for the people, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, as long as it can improve the lives of the people and increase the tax revenue of the imperial court, even if it does not conform to the previous law, we can also try to change, this is the purpose of the change, and it is also the root of the change. It is the key to enriching the country and enriching the people and strengthening the army, I don't want to be in front of the soldiers when they need the support of money and food, the court is so poor that they can't even get a penny, and I don't want to see the foreign iron horses roaring and sweeping the Central Plains, but the court is enduring and enduring, retreating and retreating, still by the Xixia people, the Liao people, and the Tubo people are noisy, so we must talk about development, we must talk about reform, we must talk about changing the law, the law of history can clearly tell everyone present that the law changes to try to live strong, and those who keep the old way die! ”

Although the words are not high-pitched, they are reasonable and well-founded, but they are thought-provoking and have a unique charm, and many ministers are slightly shocked when they hear it.

"Well said!" Wang Anshi's old eyes lit up, his mood was high, and he couldn't help but high-five and cheer, "A good sentence to change the law to make the strong live, and the old one to die!" What a great empowerment! ”
