In Ouyang Xiu's study, several people looked at each other, they had been sitting for more than half an hour, no one spoke, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, the faces of several old guys were hot, since they heard the situation of the imperial meeting, everyone was first surprised, and then angry, and at this moment there was helplessness left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fan Zhongyan sighed first, rubbed his eyes, grabbed the tea that was already cold on the table, and laughed at himself: "The tea is cold - the people say that people take the tea to cool it, but the old man is not self-conscious and wants to make jokes." ”

He broke the silence, Yan Shu was even more frustrated, Fu Bi was his son-in-law, the old father-in-law was thousands of miles away, and when he arrived in the capital, he persuaded him hard, but the result was good, Fu Bi was the first to jump out and object, no less than slapping dozens of mouths on Yan Shu's old face, which made the old man very embarrassed.

But fortunately, no one in the room succeeded in persuasion, and all of them hit a wall, including Wang Ningan, even Zhao Zhen did not have full support, and when they got to this point, everyone still didn't know how to reflect, so they should find a piece of tofu to kill them.

First of all, Ouyang Xiu pondered: "We are blindly optimistic, since the establishment of the Royal Bank and slapped those people in the mouth, we thought that we were invincible, and we could do whatever we wanted, but now it seems that we have made a mistake in judgment." People have come out of the initial disadvantage and have begun to fight back. ”

I have to say that Ouyang Xiu's hindsight skills are still good, and he understands the problem.

The recovery of Yanyun is not only a slogan shouted by Wang Ningan, but also often said by many civil officials.

However, for the restoration of Yanyun, the civil officials only stopped at practicing benevolent government, cultivating the rule of officials, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and living and working in peace and contentment...... Obviously, these words are fart! Beautiful and empty, when you can only talk highly, shouting two sentences is cool, and you can't implement it at all.

For so many years, in response to the recovery of Yanyun, only Wang Ningan put forward three strategies, which are to the point, the first is trade and trade, the second is to organize the army and raise war horses, and the reconstruction of the Jingsai Army is one of them, and the third is to support the reconstruction of the Bohai State.

The first two articles are already being done, and if the third one is also passed, the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty will be completely reversed.

Since the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty has been to be passive defense and passive response.

If we support the passage of the Bohai State, the whole strategy will become aggressive and take a 180-degree turn.

The civil officials are in charge of defense, and if they are fighting a war and making progress, they will be handed over to the military generals and the royal bank, which is equivalent to handing over the power of the imperial court to others, can they agree?

"In the past, as soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he wanted to revitalize the country, appoint Zhao Xuan, Wang Zang and others, refresh the rule of officials, and make drastic reforms, which touched the old party forces, and they encouraged the Empress Dowager Dou to take action, forcing the virtuous ministers to commit suicide, and the new policy came to an abrupt end, and Emperor Wu was almost abolished. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Dou died a few years later, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regained power and promoted a large number of courtiers who were determined to innovate, so that the situation could be reversed, from being conservative to aggressive, and the feat of the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu could be truly implemented! ”

Mei Yaochen talked about the allusions of the Han Dynasty, and in recent years, there have been a lot of shocking remarks in the Six Arts School, especially the Great Su gathered a group of people, who were keen to subvert history.

Overturned the case for Qin Shi Huang, thinking that he was the first emperor of the ages, and the so-called book burning and pit Confucianism was also conducive to the unification of the world, which was right!

Obediently, Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant who has been scolded by scholars for a thousand years, faint king, the death of the second emperor is the most cruel retribution for him, and he still dares to speak to Qin Shi Huang, you don't want to die!

This is not the end, and then they spoke for Wu Zetian, thinking that Wu Zetian's ability to govern the country is far above Gaozong, and the problems in Liaodong and the Western Regions that have not been solved by the Taizong Dynasty have been solved in the hands of Wu Zetian, and the empress's achievements will be glorious through the ages.

There are even more outrageous children, they actually think that Emperor Yang of Sui built the Grand Canal to communicate the north and south, and the credit is incomparable.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was necessary to revise the Sui book, but in a few years, it was impossible to write a book, the reason is very simple, that is, those who have experienced the Sui Dynasty can not write, the straight book, the emperor is not satisfied, the emperor is satisfied, the conscience can not pass, others can not write, the result Wei Zheng does not care about these, he took a group of people, it took seven years to repair the history of the five dynasties of Liang, Chen, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui, etc., an average of more than a year.

What an efficient old master Wei!

In this Sui book, there are too many things that smear Emperor Yang of Sui, and it has reached the point of reversing black and white and ignoring right and wrong.

Da Su and a group of people actually proposed to reconstruct the historical books of the past dynasties, remove all the absurd and smeared things, and give justice to some characters......

Obviously, no one will support their proposition, but there has been a lot of shock within the Six Arts Academy, including Mei Yaochen and others, they have begun to look at the past history with new eyes, and they have a deep understanding and deeper insights!

"Recovering Yanyun, you can say it, but you can't do it!" Mr. Mei hit the nail on the head and said: "Take supporting the Bohai Kingdom as an example, this is a wonderful move to restore Yanyun, but if you really want to do it, you need to invest funds, manpower, and all kinds of means...... The Royal Bank is good enough, can they give such a big credit to others? ”

Yan Shu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes, we have been in the wild for a long time, and our heads are not sober, thinking that if we are good for the country and the world, we can get support, but we don't know that it is our wishful thinking!" The Royal Bank was able to fight its way out of the encirclement, but Erlang caught them off guard, and when people reacted, they wouldn't make mistakes again. ”

In the end, it is the old man, I can see that Wang Ningan originally made the Royal Bank under the banner of managing money for the royal family, although the courtiers were also opposed, but there was not much effort.

But the next copper price war pushed Wang Ningan to the position of the finance minister, and the Royal Bank put its hand into the three divisions through borrowing to supervise the civil officials, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, and the civil official group regrets not falling, but the raw rice has become cooked rice, and they have no choice.

If there is another drama to support the Bohai Kingdom and recover Yanyun, the Jiangmen power will inevitably expand rapidly, and the warriors who have been suppressed will prosper again.

The civil officials are afraid that they will return to the miserable Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and all kinds of dirty thoughts will be mixed together, which will naturally attract the unanimous opposition of everyone.

I have to say that the big guy thought simply, and he overestimated his energy, so he touched his nose.

There is another point, that is, Zhao Zhen's attitude.

Our Uncle Zhao has the heart to cheer up, but after all, he is not an emperor with great talent like Emperor Wu, and he does not have the courage to go against the people of the world!

Supporting the Bohai State means really fighting wits and courage with the Liao State, fighting to the death! Zhao Zhen was not ready, if everyone agreed, he would naturally push the boat with the current, but when he encountered strong resistance from the civilian clique, he hesitated again......

Several old people who have experienced the new policy of Qingli look at each other and tacitly!

"Alas, we missed the opportunity, we are sorry for our ancestors and ancestors!"

Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly, "The old man wanted to use the wind and candle to promote the great cause of recovering Yanyun, but he was powerless!" Except for the annoyance! ”

"Erlang, tomorrow the old man will leave to go back to the school, and from now on, the old man will never go out of the mountain again. As for the matter of recovering Yanyun, it can only be left to Erlang! ”

In the middle of Fan Zhongyan's words, there was an endless depression, this is an old man who has fought for the people of the world all his life! Even if he went to teach in the Six Arts, he was also interested in cultivating talents for the country, and he did not relax for a moment.

Until this moment, Fan Zhongyan's heart was cold, disappointed, and even desperate, he couldn't find a way to save the situation.

In a trance, Wang Ningan felt that Fan Zhongyan had aged a lot, not in appearance, but in spirit, as if he had been evacuated all of a sudden.

Tiredness, helplessness, resentment, sadness, disappointment, mixed tastes...... Looking at the old gentleman's decay and loss appearance, whether he can go back to the Six Arts alive has become a question!

Wang Ning'an suddenly had an itchy throat and said in a low voice: "Fan Xianggong, I am not talented in my later life, I have a plan, I can strike a decisive blow and turn the overall situation around, but this method has to take too much risk...... I'm not sure. ”

Wang Ningan has always been bold, and there is almost nothing he dare not do. Even the absurd thing of killing more than 100 Lingnan officials, he did it.

At this moment, he hesitated, which startled several people present.

Fan Zhongyan smiled with a smile in his eyes, looked around, and suddenly said: "You guys all go out, the old man and Erlang will talk alone!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shu said angrily: "Brother Xiwen, you can't help but underestimate the heroes of the world, the old man is not talented, I also want to hear Erlang's tricks." ”

"And me! You go to the guillotine, and the old man accompanies you! Ouyang Xiu shouted loudly.

Mei Yaochen smiled bitterly, "You are all heroes, and I have become a bear!" I can't even listen to it! Erlang, you say, we have a lot of beards, and we are not afraid of anything! ”

Several old men stared at Wang Ning'an together, their eyes full of encouragement.

Wang Ningan took a deep breath, "Fan Xianggong, Yan Xianggong, drunkard, Mei Gong, if you want to turn the overall situation around, you have to make a fuss about the Bohai Kingdom." ”

"What to do, the Bohai Kingdom has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, what can we do?" Mei Yaochen said curiously.

"Yes, as far as I know, when Emperor Taizong was on his Northern Expedition, he once approached the Bohai Kingdom, hoping that they could raise an army to resist Da Liao!"

Yan Shu nodded and said: "This thing does exist, Emperor Taizong also issued a decree to send people to contact the remnants of the Bohai Sea, but the result was that there was no news, the Northern Expedition failed, and no one mentioned the Bohai Kingdom again." ”

Wang Ningan inhaled hard, lowered his voice and said: "Seniors, if the will of Emperor Taizong exists, if the remnants of Bohai respect the holy decree of Taizong, fight endlessly, sacrifice their lives to the disaster, and succeed the father and son, and be unswerving, how should my Great Song Dynasty treat others?" ”

Fan Zhongyan looked at each other, and his head hadn't turned around yet, "Erlang, is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Ningan laughed, "I think there is, after all, the remnants of Bohai were millions of people back then, and now there are only a few hundred people left, could it be that they were not killed by the Liao State?" ”
