042 Compromise
"But in this case, isn't the horse making an enemy of the court, how will he deal with himself?" Wang Anshi should be the one who knows Hong Tao's thinking the most among the three people at present, after all, he has already talked to Hong Tao twice, and quickly found the key.
"The horse only needs to teach the border army how to make it, and the rest of the things are decided by the imperial court." Listening to Wang Anshi's words, Emperor Shenzong fell into deep thought, and only expressed his opinion for a while.
It is indeed an opinion, through this afternoon of getting along, Hong Tao found that the emperor of the Song Dynasty really can't export the constitution, and sometimes his opinion is not as heavy as the two prime ministers, and it will be rejected in minutes.
By the way, speaking of the two prime ministers, Hong Tao once again despised his historical knowledge reserves. Originally, he thought that Wang Anshi's biggest political enemy in the court was Sima Guang, because it seemed to be said in the history books.
But in fact, Sima Guang fell out with Emperor Shenzong as early as nine years ago because of the new policy, and took the initiative to resign from the field, and the specific title was the head of the soldiers and horses, the pacification envoy, and the knowledge of the Yongxing military government, which probably means that the chief officer of the Yongxing military road, and the senior official and armed forces minister of later generations.
The Song Dynasty did not have a military commander, because the combat troops only had the forbidden army, which was still under the command of the imperial court, and no one could touch it except the Privy Council and the emperor.
The local Xiang army has been weakened to the point that it has little combat effectiveness, and it is said that it is an army, but in fact it is a construction corps and an agricultural reclamation corps, and repairing water conservancy and reclaiming wasteland is the right thing.
Yongxing Military Road used to belong to Shaanxi Road, and after Shenzong ascended the throne, it was divided into Yongxing Army and Qin Feng Road.
But there is a concept that Hong Tao did not guess wrong, Sima Guang is indeed the standard-bearer of the conservatives, even if he does not appear in the court, but there is still a large group of officials around him, and he is the leader of the advance and retreat.
This time, Wang Anshi was no longer confused, he also realized the importance of the conservatives to the new policy, and did not decide the matter with the emperor and the two again, insisting on calling Sima Guang back, and everyone sat together and had a good chat with the gong and drum.
If the matter of the ointment is feasible, the two sides should compromise and compromise, and as long as the new policy can be ensured, all conditions can be negotiated.
Of course, the emperor also meant this, the new policy was not so much led by Wang Anshi, but rather instigated by him behind his back, and the success or failure had a great impact on him.
Moreover, the long-term confrontation between the two factions in the DPRK and China has also seriously affected the normal operation of the country, and it would be a good thing for everyone to take this opportunity to sit down and talk between the two factions.
Then Sima Guang won't come back, it's just that the Yongxing Army is still a little far from Tokyo, and it doesn't mean that he can come back. After coming back, the three heads had to get together to make a preliminary assessment of the strategy proposed by the colt, and after reaching a consensus, they could call the colt to talk about it, so it was delayed for more than half a month.
The consensus is obviously reached, and now Sima Guang has returned to the court, and the officials worship the provincial servants, know the affairs of the Privy Council, town Huainan Mansion, and sentence Yongxing Army.
The official system of the Northern Song Dynasty is slightly different from that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it just so happens that Shenzong has just changed it again, and Hong Tao really doesn't understand this large list of official positions. But there is one thing he understands, Sima Guang is also the prime minister now, maybe, maybe, Bao Buqi is a little lower than Wang Anshi, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and he is also a deputy prime minister at the very least.
Isn't this the consensus, Wang Anshi is not afraid of another deputy minister to make trouble for him, and Sima Guang is not afraid to be an official under his political enemies to help promote the new deal against his will.
As for how they exchange benefits, there is really no need to say to themselves, anyway, everyone's posture of taking a step back is made, and what to do in the future depends on whether their flower paste can bring them substantial compensation.
In fact, as Hong Tao expected, the reformers and conservatives did reach a preliminary compromise, but the content was far more complicated than he expected.
In the past half a month, the court is about to boil, and everyone is bargaining with each other in a group, just like the old lady who buys vegetables in the vegetable market, and she has to fight for a few pennies of profit.
Wang Anshi not only lost the position of a deputy minister, but also promised not to use the "Three Classics and New Righteousness" as the only reading material for scientific research, which can be regarded as temporarily giving up the idea of creating a new school and controlling future generations ideologically.
In the eyes of ancient Chinese intellectuals, the sense of accomplishment of writing books and opening up schools was sometimes stronger than that of being a prime minister.
Also making huge concessions was Emperor Shenzong, not to mention that he stood with Wang Anshi on the issue of the New Deal, but the two had different purposes.
Emperor Shenzong took advantage of the opportunity of the New Deal reform to essentially empty the power of advice. Now the Imperial Historical Observatory is basically controlled by Wang Anshi's faction, and it has changed from the original checks and balances of imperial power and relative power to a public opinion tool for the two parties to compete for and a big troll to attack the personality of the opponent.
As a young emperor who wanted to make a big career, Shenzong deeply realized the importance of admonition and public opinion, and if he still tolerated these imperial historians shouting when he had nothing to do, he would not be happy to do anything.
The Imperial Historical Observatory has deteriorated, and as long as it continues to remain like this for a few years, this body of checks and balances will exist in name only, and his imperial power will definitely be further strengthened at that time.
Who doesn't want to be an emperor who is full of words, and who is willing to be an emperor who will be blamed by the ministers if he farts? This is human nature, and the more people who are willing to do big things, the less they think that power is too concentrated.
As for whether this practice will destroy the balance of rights and whether it will be beneficial or disadvantageous for the future development of the country, it is very likely that the parties concerned will not be able to see clearly, and the limitations of the times will be limited.
In fact, Sima Guang and the others opposed not only Wang Anshi's new policy, but also worried that the emperor would take the opportunity of implementing the new policy to seize power in his hands.
Compared with Hong Tao, they may be more reluctant to see a powerful emperor who has become a constitution, because it is not in their interests, let alone their values, and they must not compromise.
The emperor, the new party, and the old party, the three forces were mixed together, and no one could win the fight, and the result was that the flames of war became more and more vigorous, and it had reached a level where no one could extinguish it.
The most terrifying thing is that no one dares to put out the fire, for fear that if they are distracted, the other two forces will take advantage of the situation. Let's put it in layman's terms, now it's three masters of internal strength who are making moves, and all the internal forces are sent out, and whoever takes it back first will be the most likely to be injured.
To describe it in an idiom, it is called riding a tiger. Even if you know that some things have gone too far and hurt the country, you have to bite the bullet.
At this juncture, a crazy horse who didn't know whether to live or die suddenly popped out, with a big killing weapon that made everyone's scalp tingle when they heard it, and thrust it into the middle of the three people...... Hey, I knocked this dead knot open.
