Zhao Zhen stayed in Wen Yanbo's mansion for nearly an hour, with good words and exhortations, to appease the hearts of the old ministers, and even be considered humble. In the end, after leaving the imperial pen, he drove back to the palace.

Sending Zhao Zhen away, Wang Ningan gritted his teeth.

"Congratulations to Xianggong Wen, who has since become the heart of the Son of Heaven and a powerful minister!"

Wen Yanbo sat on the hospital bed, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

The old fox sat stupidly like that, his eyes were straight, his body was stiff, and Wen Jifu was frightened, and he said in his heart that his father would not be overly excited, and he would die directly, right?

"Daddy!" He called in a low voice, Wen Yanbo didn't care, Wen Jifu was so frightened that he reached out to probe his nose, and was about to call the doctor. Wang Ningan stopped him and pushed him to the side.

"Your father is now reborn in Nirvana, don't bother him."

Wen Jifu said stupidly: "Nirvana? My father wants to become a Buddha? ”

"He's going to become a demon!"

Wang Ningan was not angry and drove Wen Jifu out.

There are only two people left in the ward, Wang Ningan and Wen Yanbo.

Wang Ningan suddenly laughed, "Xianggong Wen, it's not so easy to be the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, right?" You know what it's like now, right? Over the years, how many times I have been scolded, how many people have been impeached, and I have heard that ten rooms are filled...... This little trouble you encounter is just a piece of cake, drizzle, and there will be more wind and rain in the future! You've got it! ”

Wen Yanbo seemed to be sober, he was stunned and said, "Yes, can you resign?" ”

"Can't!"

Wang Ningan pointed to the big characters of the eight-character dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and said with a smile: "If you resign, these eight words will become eight sharp blades, which is enough to kill your Wen family and shed a river of blood!" ”

Wen Yanbo was stunned for a long time, and suddenly held his head and screamed loudly, like a wounded beast.

His body was rickety, curled up at the head of the bed, and old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes......

Wang Ningan saw that he was in such pain, he didn't have the leisure to laugh, but had some sympathy, and it was not easy for Lao Wen!

For so many years, Wang Ning'an has made moves with too many important ministers, Xia Zhu, Chen Zhizhong, Song Zhen, Liang Shi, Pang Ji, Jia Changchao, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wang Yaochen, Wang Gongchen, ......

Among these ministers, without exception, all of them are on the side of the civilian officials.

Even if they are loyal to the emperor and have the people in mind, they must safeguard the interests of civil officials and scholars when they really encounter conflicts between scholars and emperors, or between scholars and ordinary people.

It's almost everyone's instinct!

There are not many officials who can transcend the interests of scholars...... Fan Zhongyan counts one, Ouyang Xiu counts one, and maybe Wang Anshi is also one!

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are just these few people!

Compared with Lao Wen, Wang Ningan has carried the banner of reviving the family business since the day he entered the office, he is a martial artist, he was born in the gate, and after becoming the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, he helped the emperor suppress the civil officials and snatch power from the hands of the civil officials.

Although as Wang Ningan said, he has endured too much attack and abuse, but he doesn't care, the road is walked out by himself, you enjoy the emperor's favor and get the support of the generals, you have to do things for them, rightfully so!

It's just that in comparison, Wen Yanbo is more painful!

He is a standard scholar, even if the old guy is very shameless, as long as there are interests, he is willing to do anything, but after all, it is private.

On the surface, Wen Yanbo is still the head of a hundred officials, a graceful and generous ruler, an example of a literati, and a prince admired by everyone. Unlike Wang Ning'an, Lao Wen enjoys this identity very much, and there is also a huge civil official group standing behind him, and countless scholars are waving their flags and shouting for him, charging into battle.

For Lao Wen, the ideal state is that the emperor trusts and the civil officials support, he mediates in the middle, takes advantage of everything, and never suffers.

But with the deepening of the reform, especially the reform of the rule of officials on the agenda, to cut officials, Wen Yanbo can no longer be left and right, he must choose to stand between the emperor and the hundred officials!

When Wen Yanbo supports the reform of the official system, it means that he is on the side of the emperor, after all, the strength here is greater, and he must choose this way intellectually!

But the problem is that it is still too cruel for a decades-old bureaucrat to betray the civilian clique and become a traitor spurned by the soldiers.

There was a fat beating outside the Xuande Gate, and those people looked hideous, scolding themselves, verbally humiliating, and had no bottom line. They cursed and cursed, Wen Yanbo was really disheartened for a while, and even had the idea of going home to hug his grandson.

Fortunately, Wang Ningan and Zhao Zhen appeared and appeased Lao Wen.

But when he thought of the year of the sixtieth year, but there was going to be a 180-degree turn, Wen Yanbo was still very entangled, very painful, and very embarrassed......

"Wen Xianggong, I know what you want, and my little brother can't help you, you have to get through this hurdle by yourself...... But the younger brother can tell you that our change will be successful. ”

"We ......"

"That's right!"

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "When Your Majesty was in Xuzhou, he had already said that he would share the world with all the people...... Our Great Song Dynasty has a prosperous economy, a developed finance, and a rich people, which is the crown of all dynasties. Brother Kuanfu, I can tell you that in Xijing and Tokyo, there are only a million copies of various newspapers sold every day! Almost every third person, bought one...... Let me ask, are these people who read newspapers all scholars? No, absolutely not, more than ninety percent of them are ordinary vendors, merchants from all over the world, and many citizens. In the past, only Shilin Qing discussed it, which could influence public opinion and influence the situation. But now, ordinary people and businessmen have joined in, and they also have appeals and hopes, and they are more numerous and more powerful...... Your Majesty's choice to share the world with all the people is to stand on the position of these people, supervise the hundred officials, and make the Great Song Dynasty better! ”

Wang Ningan said meaningfully: "Xianggong Wen, you are an extremely smart person, can't you weigh the strength of these two sides?" In the past, saints were surrounded by thousands of officials, but now? Tens of thousands of officials, surrounded by millions of people! Brother Kuanfu, are you still afraid that you won't be able to change the law? ”

……

Wen Yanbo didn't move, and Wang Ningan's words kept echoing in his ears...... Lao Wen is indeed different from others, he operates cement and invests in finance, Wen Yanbo knows very well how powerful a businessman is!

Take a cement workshop as an example, dozens of acres of square area, thousands of craftsmen, busy every day, all pointing to the wages to support their families, what is the wind and grass, these thousands of people will jump out.

Look at those landlords and gentry, dozens of acres of land, only enough to rent to a tenant farmer, they have to mobilize thousands of people, it is simply an impossible task!

And the income!

Farming, a maximum of two crops a year, 10,000 acres of fertile land, the annual net income is only a few thousand, and the flow of funds is limited.

But what about the workshop?

I am purchasing almost every day, and every ten days and half a month, I have to ship once...... The amount of money on the books flows, often hundreds of thousands, millions.

As for Xijing Bank, tens of millions of dollars are lent out every year, which is more money than the household department!

What does all this mean?

Wang Ningan was right, a greater force has risen.

They were richer and more organized than the gentry.

They will not be subservient to the gentry, and in the future, there will be more and more in the Great Song Dynasty, representing the power of merchants and financial groups...... Over the years, Wang Ningan has done many rebellious things, but his reputation among the people is extremely high, far better than many powerful ministers!

If you look at it from the Shiren Group, you can't figure it out, is Wang Ningan an an incorruptible body of King Kong? Why can't you be impeached?

But when I jumped out, it was immediately clear at a glance.

"It looks like the old man is going to sell himself too!"

Since coming into contact with Wang Ning'an, our Wen Xianggong has experienced many cruel processes of reorganization of the three views...... Until now, Lao Wen has completely succeeded in cultivating!

He only rested at home for two days, and then came to the government hall with swollen eyes.

This time, Wen Yanbo is unprecedentedly serious.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty is determined to innovate, and time is running out! Rectify the rule of officials and eliminate redundant personnel, do not hesitate! ”

Wen Yanbo said sharply: "Implement it immediately, Wang Anshi, Wang Gui, Liu Xin, each of the three is in charge of two departments, and the old man is personally in charge of the Privy Council and the Imperial History Tower!" Whoever dares to stop it will be dismissed immediately! ”

Domineering is there!

It's amazing!

Wen Xianggong's decisiveness made Wang Anshi's eyes light up, hesitated for a moment, and the three of them surrendered together.

"Dare to disobey!"

Just as they were about to act, there was a loud bang.

Boom!

It's like an earthquake.

After ringing, wait a while.

Boom!

The second sound sounded.

Then came the third, and then the fourth......

Knock knock knock......

The dull sound of drums spread far and wide, and at this moment, almost the whole of Western Kyoto was shaken.

Zhang Fangping in the Imperial History, Sima Guang, the new secretary of the household department, Bao Zheng of the military department, Di Qing, the privy envoy, and Han Jiang of the audit department...... Almost every important minister was shocked!

It's Dengwen Drum!

Dengwen drum sounded!

……

Yao Zhi dares to admonish the drum, and Shun stands as a wood of slander.

From the Yaoshun period, there was a Dengwen drum.

It has been followed through the dynasties and passed to the Great Song Dynasty, when non-enemy soldiers besieged the capital, and important events such as the death and death of the prince would not sound the drum.

Since the Dengwen drum is so important, once it is beaten, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what he is doing, must immediately ascend to the court, and the hundred officials must rush to ......

Dengwen heard that the drums were beating, the enemy soldiers were gone, and the little prince was jumping for joy.

This is the hundred officials beating the drum, these people are going to settle accounts with the emperor!

Even if he is as strong as Wang Anshi, his brows are deeply locked, his fists are clenched, and his face is very grim.

It was Wen Yanbo, who suddenly laughed out loud and was very arrogant.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Lao Wen stood up suddenly, "Princess, we are shouldering the heavy burden of the society, entrusted by the Son of Heaven, and the hope of all the people, it is not wrong to go straight on the right path!" Let the old man see who dares to fight! ”

Wen Yanbo was aggressive and took all the ministers out of the political hall. Several important ministers came to the front, Wang Ning'an, Di Qing, Bao Zheng, Sima Guang, Zhang Fangping......

After everyone met, Wang Ningan hugged his fists first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?"

Wen Yanbo smiled proudly, "Xianggong Wang, you are not just a hero in the world, although tens of millions of people are gone!" ”

The history is all in ashes

It's so exciting...... Rong Xiaodi thought about it, how to tear it......
