If you want to talk about the entire Great Song Dynasty, you can not know Emperor Zhao, but you can't not know Wang Xianggong!

There are many people with the surname Wang, and there are Wang Deyong, Wang Gongchen, Wang Yaochen, etc., but now the three words of Wang Xianggong have become Wang Ning'an's exclusive noun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If Yunzhou is restored, according to the testament of Emperor Zhenzong, he can be crowned king with a different surname, and some people even opened a gambling game, betting that Wang Ning'an will be able to be crowned king before the age of thirty.

To put it bluntly, today's number one romantic figure is none other than Wang Ning'an!

Sima Guang ran to the northwest, and he didn't have the heart to compare with Wang Ning'an, but this was the first time the two of them met, Sima Guang was very surprised, Wang Ning'an was younger than he imagined.

He looks very handsome, has a slender body, and looks a little thin, if he wears a Confucian shirt, he is no different from a student, but this young man has made immortal achievements, people are more angry than people!

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his hand, "The lower officials have seen Wang Xianggong!" ”

"You're welcome." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Brother Junshi's performance in Western Xia is very good, and his recommendation has not been in vain. ”

"It's you!"

Sima Guang was so shocked that he trembled, no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that it was Wang Ning'an who lifted him, this, this is too, right?

Guangguang's heart exploded, and it took a lot of effort to barely calm down, "Xianggong Wang, can the lower officials know the reason?" ”

"Why?" Wang Ningan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are a talent, it is the duty of a courtier to promote virtue for the country, what questions do you have?" ”

"But...... Xia Guan didn't know the adults, and besides, Xia Guan lost the battle...... "Sima Guang's face was very red, thinking of his whimsical and killing so many people, he really wanted to slap two mouths.

Wang Ningan didn't rush to say anything, but told the coachman to leave the pavilion first.

As the carriage walked forward, Wang Ningan chose a comfortable position, leaned into the car, and said with a smile: "Brother Junshi, how do you say a sentence?" Let young people make mistakes, and God will forgive! You are still young, you have just entered the officialdom, you are eager to make contributions, and it is normal to make some mistakes, don't care. ”

Sima Guang almost vomited blood, why don't you look in the mirror, your kid is more than ten years younger than me! Teach me like an old man? It's a hell of a person!

Guangguang could only slander, but he still had to smile and say: "The prince is so supportive, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

"Brother Junshi, in fact, you don't have to mind, you want to learn Shiheng, but you forgot one thing."

"Oh? Could you please advise the Prime Minister Wang? ”

"Well, I don't dare to give pointers." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Brother Junshi has been very good at reading since he was a child, and he is a master of history, so he knows everything about the past, but ...... The more people and the more books they read, the easier it is to fall into it. Take the old general of Shiheng to repair Qingjian City, for example, the big guys say that he recruited righteous people, commanded well, was calm and witty, loyal and invincible, and only expanded the land for 200 miles, and made great contributions to the imperial court. I want to ask Brother Junshi, where did the family army come from? ”

"Naturally, it was created by the old general of Shiheng." Sima Guang blurted out, but after thinking about it a little, he suddenly trembled violently!

Got it, finally got it!

Why is such an easy-to-understand thing to be ignored?

Guangguang really wants to give himself two mouths.

Before Chong Shiheng repaired Qingjian City, the Chong family had a huge power, accumulated many utility soldiers, and was brave and brave, and was not afraid of the soldiers of Western Xia at all. Wang Ningan also learned this, and when the Wang family was very inconspicuous, it also made hundreds of utilities and became the support of the Wang family's rise.

When Sima Guang first arrived in the northwest, he didn't have his own henchmen, so he pointed to a bunch of waste from the imperial court, and he wanted to emulate the family army, isn't this looking for death?

Seeing that Guangguang's face was purple and red, and there was no place to put his hands and feet, Wang Ningan smiled again, "Brother Junshi, our old master Confucius invented the Spring and Autumn Period penmanship, and did a lot of whitewashing history, as long as he was a positive character, he hid all the ugly things he did, and carried forward the good deeds infinitely...... As a result, the book records of later generations are often partial and incomplete, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the true picture. ”

Sima Guang's brows twisted into a pimple, "Wang Xianggong, the sage did this, but his old man is here to uphold people's hearts, calm the world, punish evil and promote good, is this still wrong?" ”

"Brother Junshi, history is about right or wrong, only success or failure. I don't believe you to compare, Xiang Yu's character, knowledge, cultivation, cultural governance, and martial arts far surpass Liu Bang, but why did Liu Bang win the world in the end? ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "So most of the time in this world, it is not honest and honest good people who succeed, but after success, they whitewash themselves as good people." You read a lot, thinking that you are omniscient and omnipotent, and that half of the treatise rules the world...... As everyone knows, what you see is actually only a part, not the whole picture at all, and if you do what is in the book, there will definitely be problems - Brother Junshi, do you think my opinion is right or wrong? ”

……

If it were in the past, Sima would not have listened to a word, and just saying that good people would not necessarily succeed was too much! Confucianism has always preached that good people have good rewards, and non-filial sons are not loyal ministers, even if they don't believe it in their hearts, they don't dare to talk about it.

But Wang Ning'an said it in a grand manner, and he listened to it, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense!

But isn't it, according to the rumors, he wants to learn from the seed Shiheng, but he ignores the fact that the seed family is a big clan in the northwest and has strong strength.

He sent an envoy to Western Xia for the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, but when he came back, some people scolded him for being a thief!

What's even more subversive is Pang's nationality, frankly speaking, Pang Xianggong is a good person, a clean official, and a capable official! He should see that the northwest cannot be fought at the moment, and peace talks with the Western Xia are inevitable, just introducing a little green salt, for the Great Song Dynasty, the loss is the smallest, and it can even benefit the people.

So why is Pang Ji opposed?

The reason is very simple, smuggling green salt, operating illegal salt, is the rice bowl of many big families in the northwest, Pang has been in the northwest for many years, has a dense network, and a large group of northwest families have gathered around him.

Pang Xianggong couldn't help but speak for them.

Good people don't necessarily do good deeds, bad people don't necessarily do bad things, books don't have to be trusted, and sages are lying...... These chaotic thoughts are like a hammer for Guangguang's classmates to brainstorm and shatter the original concept!

He supported his forehead with his hand, the carriage jolted forward, Wang Ningan took out a green jade wine jug, took a sip, he thought that he had been hit by a critical blow, and the light needed to recover for a while!

But who knew that Sima Guang was Sima Guang!

When I was a few years old, I knew that the structure of the brain was different from that of ordinary people. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was back and his eyes were bright.

He rushed at Wang Ning'an and hugged his fists again and again, very grateful.

"Listening to the public is better than reading a book for ten years! The light finally understands that even the opinions of the sages cannot be trusted, even if there are rumors in the market, there is also a reason, how to choose, keep one mind! ”

"Wonderful!"

Wang Ningan stretched out his thumb, "I said a lot of miscellaneous things, but Brother Junshi said a word!" ”

Guangguang's old face flushed, "Xianggong Wang is too polite, the truth is easy to say, but it is difficult to understand, and the light almost made a big mistake!" ”

After some conversation, Sima Guang became more and more respectful to Wang Ningan, and simply regarded him as a teacher, sitting upright in the carriage, with a straight back and a slight tilt of his head, like a primary school student.

Think about it, big bull, Sima Guang!

Wang Ningan was a little excited, and his smile became stronger and stronger.

"Brother Junshi, this time the green salt is opened, and things are not so simple."

"Please advise!"

"Hahaha, although the imperial court opened 300,000 stones, the Western Xia had already smuggled smuggled salt to the Great Song Dynasty, and the amount was beyond imagination, and the number of people involved in it was uncountable. This time, these are nominally opened, but in fact, it is a convenient door to allow the green salt of Western Xia to drive straight in, as many as they enter, and it will become legal official salt and circulate normally in the market! ”

"What!"

After hearing this, Sima Guang stood up excitedly, and did it again in the next second, covering his head, oops, screaming in pain, he forgot that he was still in the carriage and hit his head into a bag the size of an egg. Wang Ningan was startled, and said in his heart that don't break his head, no one will write "Zizhi Tongjian" in the future.

"My lord, isn't this a trap for the officials in a place of no return?"

Guangguang's intestines were repentant, and he suddenly felt that Pang Xianggong was angry and blamed him, which was also reasonable, isn't this opening the door to thieves?

Seeing Guangguang's face full of chagrin, Wang Ningan smiled, "Brother Junshi, we just talked about it, you use your big head to think about it, is this thing harmful or beneficial?" ”

"This ......"

Sima Guang really used his brains, he quickly pondered, let the green salt of the Western Xia come in, and leave a large amount of salt profit for the Western Xia, and his intuition was that it was beneficial to the Western Xia and not good for the Great Song Dynasty.

Obviously, things won't be that simple.

How poor the Western Xia is, how much do those nobles like the products of the Great Song Dynasty, Sima Guang has seen it with his own eyes, these years have been blocked by the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of Western Xia are not even equipped with pots and pans, especially the lack of iron tools, and more than a dozen families have a kitchen knife.

Take the most elite iron harrier in Western Xia as an example, the armor has always been father and son, it's not that you don't want to change it, it's that you can't afford it!

If the Great Song Dynasty opened up the salt market and the Tangut people made money, what would they do? I definitely want to purchase the materials of the Great Song Dynasty, or I am crazy about purchasing!

The so-called benefits flowed to Western Xia, which is not valid, maybe the Great Song Dynasty made more money! This point was vividly demonstrated in the Song-Liao trade.

This is true for Western Xia, but what about the Great Song Dynasty?

The influx of green salt in Xixia, high quality and low price, the common people get benefits, and the only ones who really suffer are those fat salt merchants who are covered in oil and fart, and there are big families who make money by smuggling!

"It's more than that." Wang Ning'an said with a smile: "There are many tribes in Xixia, but they are just a bandit group that is forcibly pinched together, and they have opened up the salt, who sells more, who sells less, and if they instigate a little, they will make trouble themselves, what does Brother Junshi think?" ”

Sima Guang's eyes lit up, he bowed again and again, and he was extremely pious, "Wang Xianggong's wisdom is unparalleled, and he can't follow Xianggong's left and right, and listen to the teachings sooner or later!" ”
