[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

The night was dark.

Wang Anshi has long been interested in poetry at this time, although the poems written by Yuan Ri have spread all over Tokyo and abroad, but the mood of ambition that day no longer exists.

He sat quietly in the study, there was no lamp, there was no star and no moon in the night, and in the study of the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a deep darkness without a trace of light. All the subordinate officials who came to visit him were turned away from him, and Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dan, and Xie Jingwen, who were capable of changing the law, were also turned away.

Wang Anshi just wanted to think about it quietly in order to come up with a countermeasure.

Just today, a letter from the Daimyo's Mansion messed up the heart of the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji, and also completely shook the foundation of the great cause of changing the law that had just begun.

Sentenced to the Daimyo Mansion, Hebei pacification envoy, Wei Guogong.

Han Qi.

Han Qi Han Zhigui, who supported the two lords of the three emperors, wrote to the Son of Heaven, saying that the local government did not abide by the regulations on the implementation of Qingmiao loans, some deliberately raised the interest rates, and some loaned Qingmiao loans to the Fangkuo households in the city, all kinds of misconduct, affecting the people, and the Qingmiao loan was originally said to help the people, but now it is charging interest, which is contrary to the original intention of suppressing mergers and helping poverty, and the government loses face to the court in pursuit of profits, and requests to abolish the Qingmiao Law. As for the court's inability to make ends meet, please ask the Son of Heaven to 'bow down to frugality before the world, and there is no shortage of natural national use'.

Among the ruling officials left by the Yingzong Dynasty, Fu Bi opposed the change, Wen Yanbo opposed the change, Zhang Fangping opposed the change, and Ouyang Xiu opposed the change.

Han Qi's opposition made Zhao Ji hesitate. He used Wang Anshi's reform to pacify the two captives in the northwest, to sweep away the evils accumulated for a hundred years, not to be enemies of the courtiers, and not to harm the people.

Wang Anshi was helpless.

Didn't he make it clear to Zhao Ji about the essence of the green seedling loan? I made it clear early!

It is to enrich the treasury in order to reorganize the armament. The slogan of destroying annexation is only spoken to the outside world. However, relieving the suffering of the people and 'not allowing the annexors to take advantage of their urgency to invite double profits' is also a real effect. Compared with the 100 percent annual interest rate of private loan sharks, the government's green seedling loan is only 20% in one phase, and the interest is only four cents a year, which is very low.

If local officials do not abide by the law when implementing the Seedlings Loan, what is the difficulty in punishing and reprimanding? If there is anything inconsiderate about the Seedlings Law itself, and it is amended in the course of implementation, is it still not possible? As for lending money to Fangkuo households, as long as there is a guarantor, as long as they can afford to pay it back, why not lend it to him? Qingmiao is just a name, doesn't it mean that it can only be lent to farmers, and the Fangkou households in the city are still the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is not natural that they will not suffer from usury?

But Han Qi is against it!

What does Han Qi think? Wang Anshi doesn't know the way, but Wang Anshi knows the way of the Han family in Xiangzhou.

The Han family has been a wealthy family in Xiangzhou for generations, and they are powerful. More than half of the land in Xiangzhou is surnamed Han, and how many families in Xiangzhou do not owe usury to the Han family? The Han family has a large business, and there are many places to use money, and the annual income, the rent of the fields, and the interest of usury are also a piece. However, as soon as the Qingmiao loan was implemented, the government would take away the usury money of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan every year. Does the Han family want to drink the northwest wind?

Han Qi said that the purpose of the seedling loan is to help the poor and inhibit mergers, and should not charge interest, so that the people can benefit. Like Han Qi, there are many opponents of this statement. In fact, they are all pretending to be confused, and it seems that they are speaking for the people, but in fact, how can the decree that has no benefit to the court continue, really according to what they say, I am afraid that someone will jump out and say that it is a waste of wealth and taxes, and I beg to stop. This is how many laws that are beneficial to the country are blocked.

But Wang Anshi couldn't clearly point out that Han Qi's status was different. Emperor Yingzong was raised by him, and because Yingzong refused to attend the great unfilial piety of Renzong, if there was no mediation by Han Qi, the current Emperor Cao may have abolished Yingzong. Now when he ascended the throne, Han Qi sat on the royal couch as the prime minister, and assisted Zhao Ji according to the edict.

The three emperors supported the two masters, and Han Qi's contribution was no less than that of Guo Ziyi in the previous dynasty, and he was a real policymaker. Han Zhigui's status in the mind of the Son of Heaven is unmatched inside and outside the government and the opposition. Wang Anshi also knew that he couldn't be compared, and his qualifications, popularity and authority alone were too different. Although it was because of these achievements, popularity, and authority that Han Qi had to avoid going out, as long as he said it from afar, Tokyo City still had to tremble a few times.

Who around the Son of Heaven today does not oppose the new law? finally arranged for Lu Huiqing to be the secretary of Chongwen Academy, and prepared for consultation before the Son of Heaven. But it is said that Lu Huiqing's father has not been in good health recently, and his No. 1 assistant may have to return to his hometown after a while.

The method of losing both offended the wealthy merchants in the capital, because they usually married the most with the clan, so they also offended the clan. The Seedlings Law offended the local families who lived by usury. The farmland interest treaty is a little better, but it encourages the local government to build water conservancy and open up more wasteland, but it is possible that in the process of implementation, the local officials will apportion labor and fees, or a group of local clans will be provoked.

It's too urgent! Wang Anshi's gaze wandered aimlessly in the dark, and he sighed in his heart, he was really in a hurry! poked a few hornet's nests at one time, how not to make a commotion in the opposition and the opposition.

But if it weren't for the young emperor's impatience, why would he have introduced various law changes one after another? Promulgating one article a year, there is a buffer room, and it is only right that it is right.

The key to changing the law is to win souls. He has been a prince for 30 years, and he has been in and out of officialdom, even if he doesn't want to go along with it, how can he not know the truth of gradual progress? Let the promoted talents distinguish the superior and inferior in the experience and distinguish the virtuous and the foolish, this is the right way. But the Son of Heaven can't wait, the treasury can't wait, the Equal Loss Law, the Green Seedling Law, the farmland interest treaty, and one bill after another were promulgated in such a hurry, isn't it all because Zhao Ji wants to see the results quickly, so he wants to enrich the treasury as soon as possible?

But now it's okay, because of Han Qi's recital, Zhao Ji changed color.

Wang Anshi sighed slowly, if the Son of Heaven can't insist, why is it hard for him to work hard in the past two years since he entered the court?

If it goes on like this, everything will return to its original shape, just like the new deal in the Qingli period of Renzong, which started vigorously and went quietly. Fan Wenzheng's popularity at that time was not below him, and his will to innovate was particularly firm, and he crossed out unqualified officials one by one, even 'How can a family cry all the way?' The words were said, and Ouyang Yongshu threw out the "Theory of Friends" again to counter the accusations of Lu Wenjing [Lu Yijian] faction, in order to implement the new policy, how many people did they offend? But in the end, Emperor Renzong retreated, and everything was still in ashes, and the people who went out of Beijing and the degraded people who were demoted disappeared, like a nightmare.

Speaking of which, the crisis of changing the law today is actually a copy of the Qingli New Deal. If he can't get through this difficulty, Fan Zhongyan's failure and loneliness twenty years ago will be the fate of his Wang Anshi and his assistants in the future.

Wang Anshi is not reconciled!

He waited for decades, and finally waited for an opportunity to realize his ambitions, how could it just come to naught?

But the situation is so critical, the anti-deformation faction led by Han Qi has already sharpened their knives, and if they want to defeat them, there is only one way to break the cauldron and sink the boat!

Raising his hand and pulling out a piece of paper from the bookshelf, Wang Anshi picked up the pen and began to draft his own resignation for inviting the county to go out.

He is going to resign from his position as governor and go to the local government - if Zhao Ji can't give him a satisfactory explanation. This is to retreat as advance, and it can be regarded as the most ultimatum to the Son of Heaven.

There was no room for hesitation, and Wang Anshi had to let the emperor make a choice between him and Han Qi. Let the Son of Heaven weigh it himself, whether to continue to implement the law change in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, or according to the ideas of Han Qi and these old ministers, drag it down.

This is Wang Anshi's character, he is unscrupulous in his words and uncompromising in his deeds. As he said in one of his early letters to a friend: 'As it comes, so do all; As it is, so is the gentleman'.

The world says that he has gathered the world's hope for thirty years. This is only because he repeatedly refused to enter Beijing to serve as an attendant officer in the near future of the Son of Heaven, and stayed in the local area. doesn't like fame, has a clean personality, and Confucian scholars are praising Wang Anshi for doing this.

Don't love fame?

Wrong, he Wang Anshi loves fame! Only when you have a position can you realize your ambitions and ideals. He doesn't like the performance of fame, but he hasn't gotten a chance to show his talent for the past 30 years. Only with the support of the Son of Heaven will he insist.

worked hard to write a book of 10,000 words, and the Son of Heaven did not give a reply. Therefore, when Wang Anshi saw that Emperor Renzong could not insist on changing the government and could not realize his wishes, he refused to take up the post of repairing the living note again after serving as an over-supporting judge.

The appointment of the living note is to record the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, and he can face the saint every day, which is the fast track to advancement. Normally, officials will take over after two or three resignations according to the rules, but Sima Guang only resigned five times. But he, Wang Anshi, resigned nine times, and even avoided going to the toilet in order to avoid the ministers who passed on the edict, this is not to sell at a price, not to be caught and indulged, because he really doesn't want to do it. Although he took it after the last, it was because he could be transferred to the knowledge system. Following the Son of Heaven to record his words and deeds, Wang Anshi is really not interested, but he can become the intellectual edict of the Son of Heaven, he can seal the prefix, refuse to draft the wrong edict, and directly participate in the government affairs, such a position Wang Anshi will not refuse.

However, whether it was the next Zhizhi Edict or the picket in Beijing Prison that was later transferred again, he did not make any achievements. The lifelessness in the officialdom in the last years of Renzong made Wang Anshi feel suffocated. If you can't realize your ideals, what's the point of being a high-ranking official? took advantage of his mother's funeral to leave Beijing. Ordinary officials return to their hometowns to guard the system, and they are all looking forward to recovering their feelings, and few are willing to stay for three years. And he insisted on living in Jinling for more than four years, during which he taught apprentices and lectures, but he did not come out to resume his duties.

But in his heart, Wang Anshi always wants to show his ambitions, hoping to display his talents on a bigger stage.

Therefore, when the new emperor ascended the throne and showed his desire to enrich the country and strengthen the army, he no longer refused to be appointed. Zhao Ji used him as the governor of Jiangning Mansion, and then asked him to enter Beijing as a bachelor of Hanlin, but he Wang Anshi did not refuse once, and did not refuse several times according to the usual rules in the officialdom, expressing his high and unloving power.

If you can't realize what you want, you can't do it, if you can have a space to show your talents, he Wang Anshi can come with one move.

For this, some people are disappointed, some people sneer, but Wang Anshi's heart is the same.

Forever!
