Jiangling Mansion, that is, the later Shashi of Hubei.

In the fourth year of Tang Wude (621), he sought to level Xiao Milling and set up Jingzhou. In the first year of the day (742), it was changed to Gangneung-gun. In the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (758), it was renamed the Jingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office. In the first year of the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty (760), the southern capital was set up, with Jingzhou as the Jiangling Mansion, and the seat of governance was in Jiangling, now Jingzhou, Hubei, and the jurisdiction was similar to the current Jingzhou, Zhijiang, Qianjiang, Jingmen, and some areas of Dangyang County, Hubei.

The Song Dynasty continued the regulations of the previous dynasties, and because the economic and trade activities along the Yangtze River became increasingly prosperous, Jiangling Province gradually became an important economic center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, echoing the Jiangning Mansion (Nanjing, Jiangsu) in Xiajiang.

In addition to being the center of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Jiangling Mansion is also an important transportation hub between the Lianghuai region and Jinghu Road, so Huang Jie was ordered to survey the important nodes of the first-line road from Huangzhou to Chengdu in Jiangling Mansion. Finally found out a full five boxes of atlases and road tests, Huang Jie flipped through them casually, and found that the nearest age was actually the road test recorded in December of the second year of Xining, which should be a similar national traffic road survey led by Wang Anshi after Song Shenzong appointed Wang Anshi to change the law.

Speaking of which, it is really embarrassing to talk about the change of law back then.

Huang Jie has now finished reading through the standard coursework required by the county school, and has also finished reading the books instructed by Zhang Sizhi's old master Zhang, and has also finished reading the county Zhizhou Zhi given to him by his uncle Yao Zheng, but what he is reading now is that the ten cars left by Su Che who married Su Niang at the beginning, many of which are precious notes left by Su Che and Su Shi, also allow Huang Jie to have a more intuitive observation window for the change back then.

February of the second year of Xining (1069). Song Shenzong officially appointed Wang Anshi as the governor (deputy prime minister) to be responsible for changing the law.

However, just five years later, in the seventh year of Xining (1074), Zheng Xia, who came to the door of the prison and joined the Gwangju judicial army, wrote to Song Shenzong, who believed: "Since last year, the locust plague has been great. There was no rain and drought in autumn and winter, resulting in wheat seedlings drying up and dying, millet, hemp and other crops could not be sown, and the people had to flee in all directions. However, the government has amassed money on a large scale, completely ignoring the lives of the people. However, the Liao State took the opportunity to fall into the trap and repeatedly sent envoys to ask the Song Dynasty to cede territory. All these phenomena are caused by the unrighteousness of the ruling ministers. ”

In order to prove his point, Zheng Xia also painted a "Picture of Displaced People" of the common people selling their sons and daughters, pawning their wives, demolishing houses, and cutting down mulberries. As a result, this real and vivid "Diagram of the Displaced People" gave Song Shenzong a great shock. Song Shenzong's ideal was to make the people live and work in peace and contentment through changing the law, but in the "Diagram of the Displaced People", the people were being displaced. Song Shenzong couldn't sleep at night and fell into deep reflection.

The next day, Song Shenzong ordered the temporary dismissal of Wang's Qingmiao, exemption from military service, Fang Tian, Baojia and other eighteen decrees. Although these decrees were later reinstated at the request of Lü Huiqing, Deng Juan and others, Song Shenzong's move undoubtedly indicated that he was hesitant about the new law, and his compromise also hinted at the beginning of a rift between him and Wang Anshi.

April of the seventh year of Xining (1074). Wang Anshi resigned for the first time and became the prefect of Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).

February of the eighth year of Xining (1075). Ten months after Wang Anshi's first resignation, he returned to Beijing to resume his post.

Although Wang Anshi still wants to concentrate power in his own hands and carry out the reform, the actual situation shows that he can no longer do anything. The biggest problem. Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong had a disagreement on how to change the law. Song Shenzong was approaching the age of his establishment at this time, and the experience of nearly ten years was enough to make the once immature emperor mature, and he had his own understanding and plan for changing the law, and he didn't want to rely on Wang Anshi for everything. Since the differences between the monarch and the ministers are getting bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that the road of reform will become more and more difficult.

June of the ninth year of Xining (1076). Wang Anshi's beloved son Wang Yan (pronounced pang, Tongping) died of illness. In October, Wang Anshi resigned for the second time and left the capital with the regret that his ambition had not been rewarded. Since then, he has retired to Jinling, devoted himself to research and learning, and no longer asks about political affairs. In the first year of Yuanyou, Wang Anshi died in the Banshan Garden of Jiangning Mansion, and Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong posthumously presented Wang Anshi as the Taifu, and ordered Su Shi, a scholar, to write the "words" of "Wang Anshi Presents the Taifu".

"Wang Anshi Presents Taifu" is an essay written in the Northern Song Dynasty, written by Su Shi. In 1086 A.D. (the first year of Song Zhezong Yuanyou), in April of the old calendar, Wang Anshi died. At that time, Sima Guang advocated that Wang Anshi should be "still good and generous", so he posthumously presented the title of Taifu. At this time, Su Shi served as the secretary of the middle school and was responsible for drafting this edict.

The original text is as follows: "E: I look at the beginning of the ancient world and see the destiny of heaven. There will be extraordinary events, and there will be strange people in the world. Make it famous for a high time, and learn for thousands of years: wisdom is enough to reach its way, and argument is enough to do its words; The text of Rosewood is enough to decorate all things; The extraordinary trip is enough to move the wind in all directions. The use of energy in the period of time, the world has changed the customs.

Gu official Wang Anshi, less learned from Confucius and Mencius, and later learned from Qu Dan. The testament of the six arts, cut off his own will; The traces of a hundred schools of chaff are made of new people. It belongs to Xining's promising, and it is the first to be used by the crown of the people. Trust is unprecedented. It is necessary to achieve the success of the work and the prosperity of the mountains and forests. Where are the floating clouds, they are like a loss. Repeatedly compete for the seat of the fishing wood, not in the herd of elk. The beauty of advance and retreat is impressive.

At the beginning of my reign, I was extremely guilty. It is the old man of the three dynasties, and Miao is in the south of the river. Look at the rules and copy, and want to see the style. What is the end of the question, in the secret of forgiveness. Hu is not a hundred years, and he is a tear. Yu play! When life and death are sacrificed, who can violate the sky? Isn't it in me to give a message of grief and glory! Favor the position of the teacher and the minister, and become the light of the Confucian. If you know a few things, take me to take a break. ”

Su Shi did not lose a generation of writers, just a sentence of "obey me and take a break", and said a lot of unspeakable meaning!

The original source of this phrase is "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-sixth Year of Xianggong": "Leading Nanwang and saying: 'A few pardons! ’”

Later generations interpret it as: I hope you can know underground and accept this good command. But it seems to be Huang that this is what Su Shi meant by hinting that Wang Anshi wanted to accept his fate. (To be continued.) )
