Although Sima Guang's influence is great, but Song Shenzong has made up his mind at this moment, and whoever dares to stand up and speak for Sima Guang is brushing Song Shenzong's tiger whiskers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If it was in the past, there would definitely be many ministers who came out to Sima Guang to speak, at that time, the emperor of Song Shenzong was not prestigious, his majesty was not obvious, and the ministers' awe of him was not too great. Now it's different, Song Shenzong is a holy monarch, and his power is great, who dares to touch his tiger whiskers?

Although these opposition cadres were extremely unwilling to see Sima Guang killed, they did not dare to speak, so they had to purse their lips tightly, like a chicken asshole, for fear of making a little noise and causing trouble.

Sima Guang desperately wanted to get support, that is, he waited left and right, and no one supported him, he knew that his general trend had gone.

"Sima Guang, do you say it's better to change the law or not change the law?" Just when Sima Guang was sad and disappointed, Song Shenzong's voice sounded again.

Sima Guang is the core figure of opposing the change of the law, and he is the banner of the opposition, so he is being slapped in the face, Sima Guang is so angry in his heart that he almost spurts out a mouthful of blood.

However, he couldn't help but answer, so he gritted his teeth and stammered: "Official, it's good to change the law!" It's good to change the law! ”

A sentence that should have been extremely smooth, but he stuttered as if he were a big stammer. The depressed energy in Sima Guang's heart was indescribable, and it was even more uncomfortable than eating flies.

He was at the core of the opposition, and he was so desperately opposed to the new law that he had to admit that it was better to change the law, which was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

He had the heart not to answer, but facts speak louder than words, the new army implemented by Wu Ji at the border pass has achieved great success and recovered the land of Yanyun, who dares to say that it is not good to change the law?

Of course, the change of law is a comprehensive change, not only civil, but also military. Under the auspices of Wang Anshi, the civil army did not achieve decent results, but militarily, because of Wu Ji's strong push, the new army was formed in large numbers, and the cavalry was abolished on foot, the new army achieved a series of victories, and the Song Dynasty achieved unprecedented success.

"Huh!" Song Shenzong let out a long series of hearty laughter, stroked his beard, pointed at Sima Guang, and said with a smile: "Junshi, I have known you for so many years, only this sentence is the most true!" ”

A sentence full of joy, Sima Guang listened to it in his ears and almost fainted. The sarcasm of these words was so obvious to him that he felt a burning face, and if there was a crack in the ground, he must have plunged into it.

"Junshi, you are famous all over the world, and the power of a pen is extraordinary, so you will write an article on changing the law." Song Shenzong did not allow Sima Guang to shirk, waved his right hand, and said: "Pen and ink serve!" ”

Shao Jiu came up with pen and ink and placed it in front of Sima Guang.

Looking at the pen and ink, Sima Guang raised his right hand and slapped himself. He was the central figure of the opposition, and it was a mockery that he wanted to write an article advocating for the new law, and it has never been ridiculed in the ages.

But does he have a choice? He didn't have a choice!

Sima Guang was very reluctant, picked up the pen, pondered slightly, hung his wrist, and began to write articles. Speaking of fame, at that time, Sima Guang recognized the second, and no one dared to recognize the first, it was really not covered. Just listen to the rustling sound, without any pause, just a moment of effort, and an article is written.

Song Shenzong's neck stretched out, looked at it, and when he saw that Sima Guang had finished writing, he couldn't wait to take it in his hand, shaking his head and reading it. He was very dissatisfied with Sima Guang, but he had to appreciate his talent and fame, and read his articles quickly.

After reading this time, Song Shenzong didn't know how many good words he had liked, and after reading it, he handed it to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi only read a few lines, but he gave a thumbs up and was amazed. After reading it, Wang Anshi didn't know how many good words he liked.

"How can such an article not be announced to the world!" Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and said: "Come on, publicize this document to the world, so that everyone in the world knows, this is written by Sima Guang." ”

When Sima Guang heard this, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He was the banner of the opposition, and it was uncomfortable enough for him to write articles extolling the new law. Song Shenzong's announcement of the world, isn't that telling the people of the world that he, Sima Guang, has defected and no longer opposes the new law, but supports the new law?

So who can oppose the new law?

Han Qi and Lu Gongshu, who knew the power of it, were like being hit by a thunderbolt, their brains buzzed, and they almost fell to the ground.

Wang Anshi is the most excited, Song Shenzong is a good move. Over the years, if Sima Guang had not been in the way, the new law would not have been the scene it is now, with little effect, but remarkable results. With Sima Guang's article, who can break the new law in the future? From then on, it will be unstoppable for him to implement the new law.

"Hmm!" Song Shenzong looked at Sima Guang, there was no lack of appreciation, and said, "Sima Guang, since you know that you are wrong, I have to punish you for your crimes!" ”

Hearing this, Sima Guang's mind that had just stabilized was chaotic again, and he was planted on the ground. The masterpiece he just wrote was so explained and used by Song Shenzong, he was extremely depressed.

"It is not an exaggeration to punish you for your sins. If you know that you can correct your mistakes, I won't punish you. Sima Guang, cut his post for the people, and never use it! Song Shenzong sighed, extremely lonely.

Sima Guangcai is famous all over the world and has a reputation throughout the ages, and Song Shenzong admired his talent very much, but had to dispose of him. What Sima Guang did was to kill his head and punish him all over the house, but Song Shenzong just cut him down to the people, and he was already merciful.

"Xie Guan's family!" Sima Guang was frightened and had to thank him. After thanking him, he left trembling step by step.

A generation of talents, Sima Guang, whose name has been passed down through the ages, faded out of the stage of history in this way.

The core of the opposition is gone, the banner of the opposition is falling, what else can the opposition do? The opposition is finished!

The ministers all know this, and they don't know who will be unlucky next?

"Han Qi, you are a famous general, famous all over the world, you advocate riding by foot, for decades as the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, you say, is it better to ride by foot, or is it better to ride by riding?" Song Shenzong looked at Sima Guang's departing back, and until Sima Guang disappeared, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Qi.

This is a question of sin!

Han Qi is the only figure in the opposition who knows how to fight, and he is known all over the world as a famous general. Riding on foot is his masterpiece and has influenced the Song Dynasty for decades.

If he does not fall, it will be difficult for the new law to be implemented, and it is inevitable that he will be removed.

"The official's family, the minister is guilty of death! Capital crime! "The advantages and disadvantages of riding by foot and riding by riding are already clear, that is, people who don't know soldiers know the advantages and disadvantages, can Han Qi not know? Cold sweat poured out of his forehead like water, and he knelt down and prostrated his head, crying out for sin.

"What are your sins?" Song Shenzong's eyes were shining, looking at Han Qi and asking knowingly.

"Ministers should not be used to ride the country and the king for decades, the ministers are extremely evil, and the capital crime is a capital crime!" Han Qi kowtowed and pleaded guilty, very hard, and a head hit the ground, making a thumping sound.

"Han Qi, as a famous general, you have been famous all over the world for decades, and you proposed to ride on foot to become the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty. You know best the advantages and disadvantages of riding on foot, tell me, what are the advantages and disadvantages of riding on foot and riding on horse? "Song Shenzong hasn't spared him yet.

It's not that Song Shenzong is ruthless, but it has to be said by Han Qi, the initiator, to be more convincing.

"Official, riding on foot is saving money, and the cost of one cavalry is equivalent to the cost of five infantrymen. Other than that, the infantry was inferior to the cavalry. Han Qi understood Song Shenzong's intentions, and if he really wanted to say it, he would be slapping his face, but in this situation, he had to say it. Wu Ji's implementation of riding has been a great success, and he says that people understand who is superior and who is inferior.

"The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, it is free to cross and fly, the impact is strong, the battle is unfavorable, it can be quickly withdrawn, and a lot of losses can be reduced." Han Qi deserves to be a famous general, and he really has to understand, and when he said it, he said: "The battle is smooth, you can pursue the enemy, and you can have huge gains." Although the Great Song Dynasty won the battle, it was two legs that could not outrun four legs, and there were not many gains! ”

"Smack!" The more Han Qi spoke, the more he understood, but he regretted it, the cavalry had so many advantages, why didn't he form a large number of cavalry in order to save money? What a miser!

Knowing this, he strongly advocated riding by cavalry, even if it was a big flower, gritting his teeth, tightening his belt, and saving money, he had to form a cavalry.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, so why regret at this time?

The war in the north is the best demonstration of cavalry, and the huge role of cavalry is undoubtedly revealed.

"Hey!"

A sigh sounded, and the regret in the hearts of the ministers was no different from Han Qi. With such a clear thing, why were they confused like Han Qi in the first place?

The national policy of riding on foot killed the Song Dynasty, and finally led to the destruction of the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty has always been regarded as a treasure and has always been regarded as a national policy, which cannot be shaken. If anyone tries to change this strategy, it will inevitably provoke public outrage.

The great victory of the north is at hand, facts speak louder than words, and the ministers dare not think about it anymore. They also regretted that if they had understood earlier that riding by riding was more useful than riding on foot, they would not have approved of it anyway.

"That's all?" Song Shenzong looked at Han Qi, and a pair of eyes shot out, like a sharp sword, ripping at Han Qi's body.

"The official family, that's all!" Han Qi was stunned, not understanding what Song Shenzong meant, so he had to answer truthfully.

"Hey!" Song Shenzong sighed, pointed at Han Qi, shook his head, and said with great pity: "Han Qi, Han Qi, when it comes to the current situation, you still don't understand!" ”

"Please also ask for the Hadith of the official family!" Han Qi was confused by Song Shenzong's words and had to figure it out.

"Riding with foot is your Han Qi's first proposal, and it is you, Han Qi, who pushes it. However, even so, it cannot become the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty. is such a policy, it has become the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has been pushed for decades, why? Song Shenzong's voice suddenly turned high, sharp and piercing, clenched his fists, waved his arms fiercely, and roared, "That's the lack of ambition of the Great Song Dynasty!" Da Song lacks ambition! ”
