"Wang Ning'an, do you want to assassinate the old man?"

Wang Ningan smiled, "Fu Xianggong, you are wrong, I came to see you openly, and then accidentally lost a bottle of medicine, you happened to pick it up and drank it, how can it be called assassination!" The wording is so inaccurate! ”

"Wang Ning'an!"

Fu Bi's face was pale, his whole body trembled, and his eyes were on fire, "You, you are deceiving the sky!" The saint still gave the old man a way to live, if you kill them all like this, aren't you afraid of the leisurely mouth of the people of the world? ”

"Hahaha, the rich and the public, the words of the people who are dying are also good, and the birds are dying and their songs are also mourning. Before you died, you told me this, compared to Han Zhigui, it is more than a step worse, no wonder with him in Japan, you can only be the second in ten thousand years! ”

"You ......" Fu Bi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Wang Ningan smiled indifferently, "Rich Xianggong, you ask me if I'm afraid of the world's discussions, that's good, I'll tell you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" But the question is, if I let you go and give you a way to live, won't the world talk about me? ”

Fu Bi gritted his teeth and said viciously: "At least one less crime...... Frame Zhongliang! ”

"Oh! Rich Xianggong, do you think you are loyal? ”

Fu Bi snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand times stronger than you!" ”

Wang Ningan was very calm, "Maybe, anyway, in your eyes, I am a traitor who should be cut with a thousand knives, but it's a pity, the one who died is not me, but you!" ”

"Wang Ning'an!" Fu Bi's voice was even more dull, a wave of anger, uncontrollable.

"The old man didn't do anything! What Tan Xian and those people did was not ordered by the old man, at best, the old man only knew about it and did not report it, should this also be damned? Don't forget, the old man has been in the office for decades, sent an envoy to Daliao, and promoted the Qingli New Deal, the old man is meritorious, Your Majesty knows it, and the people of the world also know it! Unless it is those who have been blinded by lard, they pretend not to know! ”

The old man's tone was very violent, but there was a hint of begging for mercy in and out of his words.

Wang Ningan took a deep breath, "Fu Xianggong, this incident in the northwest, I believe what you said, if you are convicted only by knowing nothing, there are not a few damned people in the court." ”

"You know?" Fu Bi was a little shocked, since he knew, why did he hold on to the old man?

"Wang Ning'an, if the old man knew that he would be defeated, and he was defeated so badly, he would definitely stop it." Fu Bi tried his best to soften his tone, "At that time, how many people said that you were holding back because you wanted to raise your own respect, and the old man was not proficient in military affairs, so he also believed some." But you have to know, don't talk about the old man, even Your Majesty will doubt you! ”

Wang Ningan smiled: "Rich Xianggong, is this your plan to divide the world?" It seems to be a little weak! ”

"Humph! Wang Ningan, don't pretend to be confused, the Son of Heaven is ruthless, and everything is based on the country. You have a heavy army, great power, and great achievements, once Your Majesty dies, how can the new monarch suppress you? Let me ask, which of the princes in the world can control you? As a courtier, if you do your job, you should know what to advance and retreat and protect yourself! ”

Wang Ningan stretched out his hand and motioned for Fu Bi to continue.

"Wang Ningan, the old man advises you to resign from your official position immediately, give up your military power, be honest, and enjoy yourself in the mansion. Singing and dancing, being a peaceful minister, sealing his wife and son, and being glorious for generations, may be able to save his life. Like you, arrogant and crazy, you dare to go behind your back on the Son of Heaven and harm the old ministers of the court, aren't you afraid that you will be ruined and have no place to die? ”

Wang Ningan bowed slightly, "Speaking of which, I am still reluctant to die!" Rich Xianggong, it's not so much that I'm confused, but that you haven't thought it through, if it's really like what you said, can I save my life? Even if the Son of Heaven doesn't kill me, those people behind you, will they let me go? Not to mention anything else, they can't even tolerate my master, and I can go much farther than my master! ”

Fan Zhongyan!

A tall figure flashed in front of Fu Bi's eyes in an instant.

Frankly speaking, Fu Bi didn't know what he was doing, he, like Han Qi, became the person he hated the most in his early years. It's a shame to say that after Fan Zhong drowned, Fu Bi went to Lao Fan's grave several times, he was very envious of Fan Zhongyan, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, Lao Fan never changed, he was a pure person!

In contrast, I have changed, I am ashamed of the ideals in my heart, and I am sorry for the blood of my body...... Thinking of this, Fu Bi's momentum weakened, and his back couldn't help but collapse.

"Fu Xianggong, you have said a lot, and I have listened to a few words. It is true that the main culpability of the Northwest fiasco is not on your head, from beginning to end, you may not have given an order to anyone, and there is not a piece of paper, a word flowed out. You feel that you are very wronged, and I reluctantly agree, but take my master as an example, after the failure of Qingli, how badly he was tossed! Almost lost his life! Why don't you former allies give him a hand? ”

"I, how can I help him!" Fu Bi lowered his head, becoming more and more ashamed.

Wang Ning'an smiled gracefully, "Rich Xianggong, just make it clear!" You and I have a lot of people behind us, these people may be far inferior to us, maybe they haven't seen each other, but we have to do things for these people, this is the interest group, right? ”

How smart Fu Bi is, he thought for a long time, and nodded, "It's true that you can say that, but Wang Ning'an, you attribute everything to interests, and the old man doesn't argue with you." The old man is a little curious, since you think it is not wrong to fight for power and profit, then where is the old man wrong? ”

Wang Ningan shook his head, "Rich Xianggong, you still haven't thought it through, so you didn't lose at all!" The conflict of interests, where does the right and wrong come from! ”

Wang Ningan stood up, put his hands on his shoulders, and said as he walked: "An ordinary person, all year round, has so much money. As for you, I hope he will pay all the money and the rent to satisfy your enjoyment. And I, and the people behind me, want the people to use the money to buy silk, to buy cloth, to build houses, so that we can make more money. One is the land group, the tenant system, and the other is the business group, the market system. We are enemies by nature, putting right and wrong aside, and what we ask for is nothing more than profit! ”

"Because we belong to different camps, we naturally have different views. For example, I hope to defeat the Western Xia as soon as possible and open up the Silk Road, so that the goods of the Great Song Dynasty can be sold, the market of the Western Xia will fall into our hands, and the rich Hetao Plain will provide abundant raw materials...... But in your opinion, the land of Western Xia is not suitable for cultivation at all, and even if it can be cultivated, it will have to face the constant attacks of the nomadic cavalry, and the gains outweigh the losses, so you hope that the truce and the war will be maintained as much as possible, even if it is worth giving a little year. ”

Fu Bi's face was very dark, and he didn't like Wang Ningan's way of speaking.

The family and the country are all over the world, the country and the society are the same, and the saints are humane...... It was all said that it was the word profit! It's unappetizing!

But Fu Bi had to admit that aside from all the gorgeous decorations, what Wang Ningan said was the truth!

Why are conservatives opposed to foreign war?

It's simple!

If we want to fight a foreign war, we must increase military spending. Where does military spending come from? In short, the change of law, whether it is the Qingmiao Law or the Fangtian Tax Law, is to grab money and cut meat from the hands of civil officials and gentry.

Then they took their money and grain to open up the land, and the newly occupied land fell into the hands of meritorious soldiers and new industrial and commercial groups.

They are gentry and landlords, and they have paid for it, but they have not reaped any benefits!

That's it!

As the power of industrial and commercial groups became more and more inflated, they funded schools, established schools, trained scholars, propagated ideas, and grabbed places in the imperial examinations.

In these imperial court examinations, the industrial and commercial groups represented by the Six Arts have more and more places and become more and more powerful. Sooner or later, it will replace the gentry group!

It's not that you're in it, it's something you can't feel.

What is the overall situation, the world, the common people, and the nation...... These things are easy to say, but if it really involves self-interest and makes people pay the price, can it be done?

For ordinary people, perhaps, but what about powerful people? They have their own interests, can they sacrifice their own interests to achieve greater interests? That's where it gets tough.

Take the conservatives like Fubi, as well as the gentry group behind them, they think that adhering to the way of Confucius and Mencius and adhering to the system of Shinong industry and commerce is where the greatest interests lie!

There is no thousand-year-old court, there is a thousand-year-old family, there is no thousand-year-old family, there is a thousand-year-old Taoism!

The great emperors of heaven and earth are big, and all of them are not as big as the Taoist system!

"Rich Xianggong, it's still the same sentence, let's not argue about what is right or wrong, and I won't see you as a bad person. But if the Great Song Dynasty wants to prosper, and the people want to live a good life, they must change the law. And you are the roadblocks to the change, whether there is anything wrong with this time, it is the same, the Elder Society must be destroyed, as the banner of the old party, you must also die! Even if I leave a thousand years of infamy, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

Wang Ningan smiled coldly, "You choose to die here, your family can be saved, you choose to die in the Western Regions, none of your family members want to run!" ”

Wang Ningan arched his hand at Fu Bi.

"That's all I have to say, rich and fair, please take care of yourself."

After speaking, Wang Ningan turned around and left, and Fu Bi's crazy scolding came from behind.

"Wang Ningan, what garlic are you pretending! What to say for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the imperial court! You have changed the laws of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, when did you have the Great Song Dynasty in your hearts? You also deserve to talk to the old man about the common people? In the first battle of Lingzhou, 100,000 people died, but what about you? How many people died in Yokoyama? How many people died in the cultivation of the straight road? How many more people will die if you continue to fight? Ask yourselves, the sin is ten thousand times greater than the old man! You're the ones who really damn it!! ”

Wang Ningan walked out of the prison in one breath, and at the door of the prison, he closed his eyes and paused slightly.

Regardless of Fu Bi or Han Qi before, their evaluation in history is not bad, and they are also famous ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that as Wang Ningan said, because of different interests, Fu Bi also strongly opposed Wang Anshi's change in history, he stood on the side of the conservatives and became an obstacle to the change, he should die!

Whether it is a good person or a bad person, that is the evaluation of later generations.

For Wang Ningan, the only criterion for distinguishing between good and bad is whether he supports changing the law?

It doesn't sound like Wang Anshi in history, as long as he supports the change of the law, he will reuse it if he is against the law, and he will be punished if he opposes it!

Of course, future generations can have different evaluations, thinking that Hu Lai is a bad minister, but if he can't promote the change, if he is reasonable, it will not work!

Anyway, Fu Bi died, and as the banner of the old school, he fell...... Wang Ningan pondered for a moment, and said in a sullen voice: "Go to the political affairs hall, it's time to find the surname Wen to settle accounts!" ”
