Article 170 Party Dispute 4
Wang Jue's mood at this time was undoubtedly very entangled.
If Song Shenzong issued this edict, should he, the prime minister of the three decrees, continue?
If you receive the holy decree, you will definitely offend people greatly!
However, if he didn't accept the holy decree, he, the prime minister of the three decrees, would break the golden body, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Countless thoughts twirled in Wang Qi's mind, and his eyes were also scribbling around. Suddenly, he saw Di Yong, and suddenly an idea came to mind.
Di Yong's current situation can be understood by everyone. Whoever is on duty in the Forbidden Palace has his own set of rules in the Forbidden Army, but this duty suddenly became an improper duty, which gave Wang Qi an inspiration - pretending to be sick.
Di Yong's duty suddenly became inappropriate because Song Shenzong put him under house arrest in disguise. The reason why Di Yong was able to participate in the early dynasty of the Qinzheng Palace shows that Song Shenzong trusted him.
Song Shenzong said this, in fact, there is nothing to do with suspicion, but it is just the practice of the Great Song Dynasty.
Since Wang Jue didn't want to break his name as the 'Prime Minister of the Three Decrees' and get involved in this impending storm, and he didn't want to lose the position of prime minister, he could only turn himself into an unworthy situation.
Pretending to be sick has undoubtedly become the best and only way at the moment.
As a result, Wang Jue not only did not control the fear in his heart, but also deliberately magnified it, and the violent shaking of his hands and feet became a precursor to his imminent illness. He pretended to ponder for a moment, and then immediately went into action.
Wang Jue took a step forward and knelt down on his knees, and crawled in front of Song Shenzong in two or three steps, kowtowing heavily while crying loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!" The erosion of the regular closing position at the bottom is really the fault of me, the prime minister, and it has nothing to do with others. I beg Your Majesty to deal with the ...... of Weichen heavily" Author's recommendation: Dew Yin Margin
Before he finished speaking, the shameless old man leaned down, touched his head to the ground and cried bitterly, and he didn't forget to say in his mouth: "Your Majesty...... Down, woo, heavy Weichen, woo woo......"
Song Shenzong was also a little confused by Wang Jue's actions, and just wanted to open his mouth to comfort his prime minister, but who knows, this old guy chuckled, and suddenly his body was tilted to the side, and he was silent.
It's faint!
"Pass on the imperial doctor, come here, hurry up and ask for the imperial doctor." As soon as Song Shenzong saw that his minister fainted like this, he was a little panicked, and immediately ordered Shi Deyi loudly.
If Cai Dao is here, he will definitely give Wang Qi a thumbs up. In the entire Great Song Dynasty, if you talk about acting skills, Cai Dao is convinced of Wang Jue, at this point, even Cai Dao, a traverser, can't say that he will faint, and no one else can compare to Wang Jue, an old guy. It's for this phase that everyone is looking forward to, this old guy is really fighting!
Song Shenzong didn't understand why Wang Jue was suddenly so excited, and even fainted. Those who had read the letters and letters, as well as the ministers who knew Wang Qi very well, understood the general reason.
Wang Jue was scared, trying to escape from the turmoil this time, and it seems that this old guy really succeeded.
Not to mention how the imperial doctor treated Wang Jue.
Next, Cai Qu's recital and Cai Dao's letter were read by the ministers in the Qinzheng Palace one by one.
The conservative ministers gritted their teeth with hatred, and at first they thought that Cai Dao and his maternal grandfather Wang Anshi would be different, but after seeing the plan in their hearts, they had to sigh that this child was indeed Wang Anshi's closest relative!
It's really ruthless.
Almost all the conservatives in the court are northerners, and they are all from the families of Wenchen in the north, and the families of Sima, Fan, Han, and Lu do not have thousands of acres of fertile land.
Even Fan Zhongyan, a moral gentleman in the Great Song Dynasty who wrote 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world', is not exempt from vulgarity.
In the first year of Emperor You, after Fan Zhongyan was transferred to Hangzhou, his children discussed purchasing land in their hometown for him to enjoy his old age in peace. However, according to rumors, Fan Zhongyan sternly refused at that time.
However, what people didn't expect was that in October of that year, Fan Zhongyan suddenly invested in the purchase of 1,000 acres of fertile land, and asked his younger brother to find a sage to run it, and the income was not taken a penny, and Fan's Yizhuang was established, and rations were given to the descendants of Fan's distant ancestors, and weddings and funerals were funded.
On the surface, it's a lot of talk. In fact, it is not the clan relatives of their Fan family who use these fertile fields to support them, and the so-called sages are either his direct relatives or the elders of the Fan family. However, the 1,000 acres of fertile land that was suddenly purchased, and which big landlord was willing to sell it all at once, did not buy it from ordinary people. Fan Zhongyan's reputation is so high, of course his descendants don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but the output of these thousands of acres of fertile land will not bring together people other than the surname Fan.
Some people say that Fan Zhongyan is Zhuge Liang of the Great Song Dynasty, but whether it is cultural and martial arts, or personal morality, this so-called moral gentleman is not as good as Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of Shu, was above 10,000 people under one person, and what he left to his descendants before his death was only 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of land, which was accumulated over the years. And Fan Zhongyan's more than 1,000 acres of land does not seem to be as much as Zhuge Liang's. However, he purchased it all at once, and the Great Song Dynasty originally had less land and more people, so the impact on the people was very great.
The big landlord is actually a big grain merchant, once the court comes forward to take over the grain in the hands of the people, then who should they sell the grain in their hands!
In the past, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Kingdom fought for many years, and Guanzhong went through the cultivation of two dynasties and was no longer as rich as it was in the past, so since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been a shortage of food. If the grain merchants put in a little effort, they can still make some profits in the Guanzhong area. However, since Sun Jue sat in Chang'an Mansion, this situation has changed greatly.
Not long ago, the news came that the Guanzhong region, the Wei River and the Jing River basin have all been determined to have a bumper harvest, and the Beiluo River basin, due to Cai Xuan's late arrival, its agricultural achievements are not as outstanding as those under the rule of Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye. If these big grain merchants know that this is also Cai Dao's credit, maybe these people will immediately spend money to hire killers and assassinate Cai Dao again.
Of course, only Song Shenzong knew about these situations, and he was now convinced that Cai Dao was the old immortal's disciple. If not, the three people he recommended, UU Reading Books .net In addition to Cai Xuan is his so-called clan brother, how did he know about such talents as Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, a child who has been staying in the countryside?
Song Shenzong couldn't help but sigh, the old immortal is the old immortal, much better than himself and Wang Anshi's ability to see people.
There are a lot of civil officials in the main hall, and it will take a long time for them to read all of Cai Qu's recitals and Cai Dao's letters, but Song Shenzong still waited patiently for them to read the two things one by one.
For a while, whether it was a conservative official or a law-changing official, the faces of those who read it became very solemn. In the Great Song Dynasty, these officials of the upper court had at least served as local officials close to the people, so they all knew the disadvantages of Cai Dao's frequent liquidation.
However, they knew all the more that once this plan was implemented, it would inevitably cause huge losses to the entire landlord class, and how many of them were not one of them?
In the main hall, although Song Shenzong did not speak, he kept staring at them. Therefore, several bigwig officials of the conservative faction did not dare to communicate directly through dialogue, but exchanged their opinions with each other's eyes. This faction has always been unanimous in their opinions, and soon reached a consensus that this plan must not be allowed to be implemented.
Except for a few southern officials in Zheng Xia, the rest of the conservative ministers were almost all northerners, and their respective families had a large amount of fertile land in the Central Plains, and if they took a stake in the implementation of this plan, their own families themselves would be big grain merchants.
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.
