As for the ministers of the reform faction, the officials under Cai Qu had already received the news, so their opinions were relatively unanimous. Opinions were somewhat divided between Zhang Dun and Cai Jing's officials. Here, they are not good at asking the opinions of these two people directly, so they have to wait for the two of them to express their opinions before considering whether to participate in it.

An hour later, the civil officials in the hall had read the recitals and letters, and now the things were passed to Di Yong's hands. This is also a preferential treatment given to him by Song Shenzong, after all, being suddenly placed under house arrest for no reason will make anyone feel a thorn in their hearts.

"Now that you've read it, let's talk about your opinions!" However, Song Shenzong, of course, would not listen to the opinions of the military attachés, and he was the first to break the silence.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" This time, Zheng Xia was not stupid enough to be this urgent pioneer, and Dr. Li Yizhi hurriedly jumped out and spoke.

This Li Yizhi is one of the three officials who initially impeached Su Shi in the Wutai poetry case, the other two are He Zhengchen and Li Ding.

Because of the conflict with Cai Dao, Song Shenzong saw that He Zhengchen's nature was completely unrelated to his name, but he was afraid of his relationship with Song Renzong. Later, when Cai Dao left Beijing, Song Shenzong also hinted at He Zhengchen and asked him to write a book by himself. However, He Zhengchen was greedy for power and refused to give in, so Song Shenzong moved his left to the south.

And Li Ding was not so lucky, this was another villain with poor character who Wang Anshi saw wrong, and was relegated to Lingnan.

Song Shenzong glanced at this conservative vanguard, and didn't recognize it at once, but he was still clever, and secretly reminded: "Official, this is Dr. Guozi Li Yizhi, and he is also one of the first three people to impeach Su Shi in the Wutai poetry case." Author's recommendation: Super physiognomy

"Oh!" Dr. Guozijian, there are many people who hold this position, and Song Shenzong didn't recognize it at once, which is normal, but he actually missed this guy with a crooked building, it really shouldn't be!

"Hear me clearly, I'm asking for your opinion! Those who oppose it should say why they oppose it and how you can solve the problem of 'cheap grain hurting peasants', and those who are in favor of it should also put forward their own suggestions for this plan. "Song Shenzong's words are a little unreasonable, but who made him the emperor?

In fact, there was still a page of the letter written by Cai Dao in Song Shenzong's hand that had not been passed on, and the things written on this page were too amazing, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he didn't pass on all the letters.

In the letter,

First of all, Ouyang Xiu's theory of friends was mentioned, which was originally written by this great writer to Song Renzong, 'Use the true friends of the gentleman and retreat the pseudo-friends of the villain'. However, it was this article that had a devastating impact on Fan Zhongyan, the leader of the Fa-Reform Sect at the time.

In the emperor's opinion, who is the party of gentlemen and who is the party of villains, whether you say it yourself or not, this has to be defined by the emperor himself. And openly forming a party in front of the emperor, isn't that looking for death?

Fan Zhongyan has been in exile in his later years, and he has not served in any place for a long time, and some later generations say that the conservatives are afraid of his achievements, and he was transferred to Huijing, but in Cai Dao's view, this is completely a punishment for Song Renzong, the leader of the so-called 'Gentleman's Party'. Let's see which other minister will dare to openly form a party in the future.

Then, the famous Luoyang Senior Citizens Association was mentioned, thirteen ministers, the youngest was Sima Guang, and Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo were among the leading figures. Cai Dao didn't say that this Luoyang Senior Citizens Association was a party, but when Wang Anshi changed the law, it was these people who colluded together and vigorously changed the law. More importantly, these people were all born in the north and were inextricably linked with those Wenchen families.

In the end, Cai Dao deliberately pointed out in his heart that the plan he had designated would definitely be blocked by the conservatives, that is, Sima Guang, the only one in the Luoyang Senior Citizens Association who held an important position in the court, and most of the civil officials from the north, because the families or in-laws of these people were themselves big landlords and big grain merchants. If this plan is implemented, although it will alleviate the suffering of the people caused by the bumper grain harvest, it will be tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger.

This tiger naturally refers to these conservative ministers who oppose the implementation of the plan.

The content on this piece of paper is the fundamental reason why Cai really made up his mind to hand over the book to Song Shenzong and was ready to vigorously implement this plan. The conservatives have always said that when Wang Anshi led the reform of the law, he openly formed a party for personal gain, but for their own interests, they were more united than the people of the reformers, and even colluded with the inner palace, the family of military ministers, and the royal family to oppose the change.

Cai Dao suddenly presented the secret of Chiguoguo, which was not a secret, to Song Shenzong.

Song Shenzong thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he asked those who stood up to oppose it to highlight the reasons for their opposition. He just wanted to see whether these gentlemen who were full of benevolence and morality stood up against it for their own interests, or for the sake of the suffering people.

As soon as Song Shenzong's three questions were raised, they immediately shocked the ministers in the main hall.

Of course, the conservative ministers all opposed Cai Dao's plan, but the reason for it was really impossible to say, did they really have to tell the emperor that if they really wanted to implement this plan, who should they sell their food to? Most of the conservative ministers in the hall are struggling to think about countermeasures, but they only care about the interests of their own families, how can they come up with good countermeasures.

Zheng Xia is one of the smart people, and when he saw that no one stood up to break the deadlock, he went out of the class and admonished: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Chang Ping has repeatedly saved the people from fire and water, which is a difficult method for all eternity, and my dynasty Taizu Taizong has also used it to help the world." How can you give up this good law and listen to the words of a child? There are indeed many drawbacks to the standing liquidation in various places, and His Majesty can send the imperial historian to quickly go down to the local area to supervise the acquisition of the standing liquidation in various places. ”

Well done!

This is the heartfelt voice of conservative ministers who can't think of a way, and as long as the matter is brought into the reform, the matter will be solved.

All parts of the country, whether it is the government or the non-government, often close positions to buy high and sell low, which can indeed temporarily stabilize grain prices and temporarily alleviate the injury caused by grain cheapness to farmers. However, UU read the book .net now often closes whose grain will be collected. Needless to ask, the local Chang Ping has long been controlled by officials and local gentry in collusion, and they will only spend a lot of money to buy the grain of the local gentry, and those small ones can only passively wait for these local gentry to buy the grain in their hands at a lower and lower price.

After Cai Dao's explanation, Song Shenzong at this moment knows this point, but Zheng Xia can't say wrong, if there is really someone like Bao Zheng in the Renzong Dynasty, Song Shenzong can also rest assured that this matter will be handed over to him, but, at a glance, in the hall, there is no minister who can match Bao Zheng's character.

These are still Cai Dao's original words in the letter, even the prestigious Sima Guang.

As soon as Zheng Xia opened his mouth, other conservative ministers also stood up and agreed, and his idea was indeed good. It can not only block Song Shenzong's mouth, but also secretly continue the original operation method of always closing positions. The premise is that the people who send them must be people who belong to the conservative side.

In the Zhao and Song dynasties, there is a royal history platform in the center, and there are three courtyards under it.

The first is the Taiwan Academy, and the main subordinate officials are the imperial history;

the second is the palace, and the main subordinate officials are the palace servants;

the third is the procuratorate, whose main subordinate officials are to supervise the imperial history;

No matter which court of the imperial history, the total number of imperial historians is not customized, it can be more or less, it depends on the emperor's personal will, except for the imperial history in which Cheng is relatively fixed, the official positions of other imperial historians can be increased or decreased at any time.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, the conservatives can also arrange a large number of their own personnel in the Imperial Historical Observatory. Of course, this time it was mainly Zheng Xia who relieved everyone, and a while ago, because of Cai Dao, the Fu Qing Department lost two important official positions at once, so they took this opportunity to compensate the officials of the Fu Qing Department a little.
