Chapter 912 When the palace dies

Cui Wenqing smiled and arched his hand, and said eloquently: "The three emperors and five emperors have different laws, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have different systems, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are based on changing the law, and the Qin Dynasty Shang Ying's law change is stronger than that of the West, so the first emperor can fight the remnants of the sixth, swallow the four seas, and sweep all directions, from the root there are only two words, that is, change!" Change the old system, old thinking, and old behavior, so that it can conform to the contemporary national conditions, people's conditions, and military conditions! This is the root of the change! ”

After finishing speaking, Cui Wenqing felt that he was really relieved for some reason.

Because today, for the first time in his life, he said his political philosophy in the hall, which can be said to be a clear statement of his own views.

As a person of the 21st century, he knows the historical process of the decline of the Chinese nation due to the old order, and he also knows the tragic years when the Chinese nation lost its power and humiliated the country because of the old order.

In those unbearable years, it was people with lofty ideals who changed the fate of the country with the way of change.

To paraphrase a great man, "development is the last word." ”

This is also particularly applicable to the current Great Qi.

Cui Wenqing's voice fell halfway, and even Sima Guang, who has always been able to speak well, rarely had no words.

Because Sima Guang is very keenly aware that this time, relying on Cui Wenqing's changes in the four states of the Northland, the law reform faction has already gained the upper hand.

Different from Wang Anshi's changes in the past, Cui Wenqing's changes around the north were shown in front of the world under the premise of making great achievements.

It was also Cui Wenqing's change that restored calm to the four northern states from the initial turmoil, and made the powerful Liao State also suspend the war with high morale.

It can be said that it is difficult to deny Cui Wenqing's achievements in the four northern states based on words alone.

It is also difficult to deny the contribution of Hedong Bank to the development of the four northland states.

This is the key to the support of Cui Wenqing's "Suggestions on Bank Development".

Could it be that today is really a temporary concession and waiting for Cui Wenqing to promote the development of the bank?

If you give in once, what should you do from now on?

However, if you insist on opposing it, it is tantamount to ignoring the great achievements made by the four states of the Northland, and it is really unreasonable to convince the public!

Today's events are so difficult!

Just when Sima Guang was in danger left and right, not knowing whether to advance or retreat or wait and see, a sudden voice in the hall shouted: "Official, the old minister has a performance!" ”

Sima Guang looked up, but saw that a white-haired minister had already knelt down in front of the hall, but it was the coin supervisor Zhang Jian Ling.

Zhang Jianling is over 70 years old, and he is an old minister who followed Emperor Taizu to establish the foundation of Daqi, and the three dynasties have a high reputation among the courtiers.

According to the Daqi numismatic system, the mint supervisor is in charge of the four mints all over the world, and all copper coins are made under the supervision of the mint supervisor.

It can be said that at the moment when silver and copper coins are in circulation, the power of the mint is extremely great, and the mint is also an important department of the three envoys.

Now Cui Wenqing proposed that Daqi Bank issue silver bills as paper currency, which is undoubtedly seizing power from the minting supervisor.

Sure enough, Zhang Jian Ling said with tears in his eyes: "The official family, from ancient times to the present, has used copper coins, how have you ever heard of paper as money?" Isn't this a move to disrupt the country? If we allow the bank to issue paper money, then I am afraid that the currency will collapse immediately, and the old ministers and officials will become sinners of the country! What face will I have to see the first emperor in the future! ”

Although Zhang Jianling's words were brief and lacked reasonable support, his gray hair and tears flowed down his face, and he was a veteran who served Emperor Taizu Taizong, so it made people look sympathetic.

Even the official Chen Hong was inconvenient to blow Zhang Jianling's face for a while.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Jian Ling suddenly got up from the ground, stretched out his hand and pulled off his official hat, revealing his pale hair, pointing to the thick pillars in the hall and saying angrily: "If the official family insists on issuing paper money, then the old minister can only die in this hall, and it can be regarded as living up to the trust of Emperor Taizu Taizong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, obviously everyone was stunned by Zhang Jianling's fierce action.

The "death advice" mentioned by Zhang Jian Ling is that if his suggestion is not adopted by Chen Hong, in order to protest, he will be killed in the temple on the spot, so as to make his ambition clear.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, if this veteran of the Three Dynasties is really killed on the spot, it will have a very big impact on Chen Hong's reputation, and even shake the stability of his throne.

In the current situation where King Qi is eyeing him, this move can be said to be a very headache for Chen Hong, so shocked that he quickly stood up and eagerly dissuaded: "Aiqing, don't be like this, don't be impulsive!" ”

Supervisor Zhang said with tears in his eyes: "If it is not that the old minister is reckless and ignorant, if he agrees to develop paper currency, how can the old minister go to see Emperor Taizu Taizong, it is better to crash into the palace at this moment!" ”

The words made Chen Hong lose his temper a little.

These old ministers can't be beaten, scolded and scolded, and at a critical time, they will bring out the first emperor to coerce him, which is really very troublesome and tricky.

Feeling helpless, Chen Hong subconsciously looked at Wang Anshi, obviously hoping that Wang Anshi could properly solve this situation.

Wang Anshi naturally understands Chen Hong's difficulties, and whenever he comes to such a time, he is needed to face these thorny troubles.

However, today, there was a Cui Wenqing present, and Wang Anshi felt that he, a closed disciple, must have a good way to solve the situation in front of him.

Therefore, when Chen Hong looked at Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi turned his gaze to Cui Wenqing again, obviously preparing to hand over the trouble to him.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing was stunned, but he couldn't cry or laugh.

How? Are their teachers and officials taking a stance of watching from the wall? Is he here today specifically to attract hatred and solve hatred?

When it comes to this, Cui Wenqing can't be allowed to retreat, but in the face of such an old minister who eats the past and seeks death at every turn, what good way can he do?

Cui Wenqing is very wise, his eyes are already in his heart, and without thinking too much, he also pulled off his official hat in the same way, and said with tears in his jaw-dropping eyes: "Official, the issuance of paper currency is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, if the official family does not agree with Wechen's suggestion today, then Wechen can only die in the hall, and it can be regarded as living up to the trust of thousands of people!" ”

The voice was still circling around the beams in the hall, and all the ministers inside and outside the hall, including the official Chen Hong, were stunned for a while.

What a good day today? Another death-seeking one?

However, compared with Zhang Jianling's death advice, Cui Wenqing's death advice is more like a farce.

No! It should be said that Cui Wenqing followed this death advice, which also made the original serious and dignified death advice of Supervisor Zhang into a farce.

And the originally tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly became absurd!
