Seventeen attendants, all of them were all present;

Eight officials of two systems and above, all of them are listed;

Two mansions and seven, six people actually took leave, and one person took leave;

Chapter 1, already in the temple;

Han Gang had already stood still in the hall, and he counted them one by one.

In the hall today, there are a total of thirty-two people with the right to vote, except for one Guo Kui, who will not vote when he comes, everyone has arrived.

It is related to the future national fortune of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, and of course no one is willing to miss it. If Han Gang can drag on the meeting for a month, or even half a month, many important ministers who serve in Nanjing and Xijing and are qualified to attend the meeting will probably try to return to the court.

Previously, Han Gang named this meeting to discuss the state of the country as the Political Consultative Conference, although there were a bit or two of jokes, but if you really want to talk about it in detail, there is no more appropriate word than this term in his memory.

After three or four regular meetings every five years, a system can be formed that is taken for granted. The power enjoyed by the courtiers will not be willing to give up. In the future, the major policies of the state must be passed at this meeting before they can be promoted.

Since he has a sharp weapon to suppress the Son of Heaven, in the hands of the right person, he can make it impossible to surpass the thunder pool. Of course, in the position of the emperor, it is not difficult to suppress such power, and if an emperor is in power, it is not even too difficult to abolish such a system, or use this system.

But if you want to fight for power with the Son of Heaven in the future, you need the courtiers at that time to fight for it themselves. This is not a system established by predecessors, so that future generations can enjoy the shade, there is no such good thing in the world.

The reason why Han Gang does things around the bend like this is more for his own convenience.

……………………

The sound of the whip sounded, and the Empress Dowager Xiang led the little emperor from the apse into the front hall.

Today is the day to decide the country's major policies, and in front of the Queen Mother, the courtiers behaved more respectfully.

After Zeng Xiaokuan got up, he found that his waist was bent a little deeper than usual from a sore pain in his lower back.

He had long understood Han Gang's dependence, and today he was even more sure.

The time of hanging the curtain to the Queen Mother was long enough for many courtiers at both ends of the head to echo their positions on her views.

But Han Gang inevitably seemed overconfident.

Even with the full support of the Queen Mother, now that Han Gang has completely broken with Wang Anshi, it is still a little difficult for most of the members of the New Party, who occupy the majority of the court, to change their course and completely stand on the opposite side of Wang Anshi.

And Wang Anshi is not so stubborn, when he needs to be flexible, he can still be flexible.

Zeng Xiaokuan glanced down at the wat board, on the ivory wat board with an ancient ruler of two feet six inches long and three inches wide, a few lines of small characters were written on the outline.

That's what he's going to do today.

He raised his eyes and looked at Han Gang.

For the country, Zaisuke has the power to propose, which is exactly what Han Gang proposed.

From Han Gang's body, he turned to Lu Shang, and when his eyes fell on Wang Anshi's face, Zeng Xiaokuan's heart jumped suddenly.

Compared with when Fang Cai was outside the Xuande Gate, Wang Anshi's expression is even colder now. In the second year of Xining, when he refuted the fallacies of Sima Guang and the elders, he had this expression; In the seventh year of Xining, when faced with Zeng Bu's departure and the old party's borrowing of natural disasters to make waves, he also had this expression.

I only know how to advance, but I don't know how to retreat. In the face of the enemy's attack, it will never give in even half a step.

This is Wang Anshi, who won the name of the reluctant prime minister back then.

Zeng Xiaokuan's heart became uneasy, but one night, what happened?

……………………

The first half of the meeting went on very quickly, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past two days, in the military reports that came back from Xiongzhou, there was no news of the outbreak of war. The Liao army on the other side of the border, I don't know if it was waiting for reinforcements or the steps to step down, in short, there was no movement.

The only thing that caught the slightest attention was Huang Shang of the Zhinanping Army, who showed his merits on the table, saying that he had defeated Luo's rebellion and beheaded more than 400 people, so he made a contribution.

Whether the Luo clan is a place name or a family name, there are not many people in the palace who know the way. The few people who know about it are also because two years ago, under the auspices of Kumamoto, a rebellion on Kuizhou Road was put down, which was related to Luo.

However, more than 400 gains, in the southwest, may represent one-third to one-quarter of the youth of several tribes, but in the achievements of recent years, it is not worth mentioning at all. Even if the object of comparison is limited to the southwest, it is not a big achievement.

Other than that, there is nothing else worth mentioning.

When all the trivial matters are over, the real topic of the day will officially begin.

There were nearly 300 courtiers on the left and right, and only a little more than one-tenth of the courtiers were able to participate in the meeting, and the rest were all observers.

This is also the style of the court to push the slaughter, everything is placed on the bright side, not in the dark room.

Since it is a major national event, of course, it must be above board.

The Queen Mother looked down at the ministers from behind the curtain, and then spoke, "I heard that the law of the moment should be used for the moment." Xia Yin's method is difficult to use in civil and military times; Although the son is descended, he is not a businessman from Zhou; The law of the ancestors was reformed by the emperor first; What about the law of the first emperor? I hope that you will discuss it in detail. ”

The Queen Mother's voice was not high-pitched, and even only reached His Majesty. But Wang Zhongzheng, who was accompanying her, immediately took her to pass on the word.

Wang Zhongzheng's voice of the empress dowager conveying the oracle emanated in the silent hall, and clearly reached the ears of every courtier.

Some of the courtiers were surprised, some sneered, some were ecstatic, and some were thoughtful.

On the one hand, the Queen Mother asked the ministers to discuss whether the country should be changed and whether it could be changed, but on the other hand, she said that she wanted to change, which was simply a deviation and completely stood on Han Gang's side.

Lu Jiawen's eyes widened even more, and he was almost about to scold.

What about today? Isn't that already clear? Revolution and innovation! What else do you ask?

"The law of three generations is difficult to use in the time of civil and military affairs", and by extension, it is "Zhou is not a lawless businessman, Xia is not a law, three generations are different, and all can be kings", this is Shang Ying's words.

'The law of the moment should be used for the moment', this is even more from the mouth of Han Gang.

said that he wanted to ask about politics, but he set the direction first. Lu Jia asked if he knew that the Empress Dowager would be partial, but she couldn't be so shameless.

No, it must be Han Gang who is not cheeky, and the Queen Mother can't say this. Han Gang must have such a paragraph in the recital of the past two days, and the day before yesterday, he asked himself to stay right, and he must have instilled it to the Queen Mother word by word.

Lu Jia asked Wang Anshi, and was set the tone by the Queen Mother at the beginning, Wang Anshi didn't come out again, and this time he simply admitted defeat. But I saw that the old minister who was standing at the top of the Wenchen class had already walked out at this time.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Anshi held the wat board tightly, "It is easy to have the saying 'if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time'." If you are poor, you must change, but you must not change for the sake of change. When Emperor Xizong first ascended to the throne, the treasury was empty, the wealth was insufficient, the two captives were rampant, the army was sluggish, and it was time to change. Now that China is prosperous, the western captives have been destroyed and the northern captives are in civil strife, but the voices of the DPRK and China have not diminished. ”

"Flat chapter. In today's palace, what the secretaries are discussing here is the country. Whether it needs to change or not, Pingzhang should discuss with Zhuqing. ”

Empress Dowager Xiang was mentally prepared for Wang Anshi to jump out immediately, and pushed it out in a few words.

"What Pingzhang said is false." Han Gang came out to help, "Is there anything flawless in the world that doesn't need to be pondered? It is the first saint, until seventy, so that he can do what his heart wants without exceeding the rules. Before the first saint and after the ancient rare, it can be said that there is no time? ”

Wang Anshi glanced at Han Gang, with a cold face, and didn't want to speak.

This sentence in the Queen Mother's edict is indeed from the original words in Han Gang's recital. A letter sent by Han Gang last night stimulated Wang Anshi. But this resentment did not hit Lu Huiqing, but fell on Han Gang's head.

Seeing this, Lu Jia hurriedly walked out of the train and asked Han Gang, "Xia Yin's method cannot be used in civil and military affairs." Dare to ask Han to participate in politics, can the law of the three generations be practiced today? ”

"You can't generalize. Use it when it is available, and discard it if it is not available. ”

"Is Ida available?"

"Han Gang once heard that Pingzhang said: 'The ancients are the fields of the world, and the laws of the party, the order, and the national culture are in it'. Pingzhang was happy in the past, but unfortunately it is not practiced today. Han Gang looked at Lu Jia and asked, he knew what Lu Jia wanted to say, and he didn't give him a chance, so he went on directly, "And Qi is realistic." To test whether a thing is feasible is not based on words, but only for empirical evidence. Therefore, the ancestor Wen Cheng tried the well field in the township to test whether it was feasible in this world, which was very different from the other Ye Gong Haolong. ”

Today's Confucians are talking about Jingtian, Xujiang Li Ji wants to implement Jingtian, Hengqu Zhang Zai wants to implement Jingtian, Wang Anshi's new learning inherits many of Li Jing's views, and also appreciates Jingtian, Luoyang Ercheng loves Jingtian as much, but among so many Confucians, only Zhang Zai really did it. Ye Gong is a good dragon, Wang Anshi really deserves it.

Lu Jiawen sneered slightly, and asked again, "Dare to ask what the result is?!" In the future, when you participate in politics, do you want to promote the world? ”

"Hengqu Jingtian, the implementation of the year. The yield of the fields is higher than that of ordinary farmers, and the households in the fields are able to live and work in peace and contentment. But the premise of all this is that the master buys land and people, and without this field, the well field is just a piece of paper. However......" Han Gang changed his words, "In ancient times, there were few people in the land. Today's China is narrow and populated. The Chinese population is growing day by day, and the fields are being cultivated more and more, but the growth rate of the fields is far from keeping up with the population. If you go to the well field, you must take the land from the hands of the landlord, which is really a tiger's mouth to grab food, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Since this is difficult to do, how can Ida be feasible? However, if the state has idle land, the people often have land to plant, and the well fields can be restored. ”

"The north is on the side, how can you sleep peacefully?" Lu Jia asked out of class, "If the two captives are here, then China will not be safe." If the two captives go, the people of the Emperor and Song Dynasty will no longer suffer from the conquest, and they can enjoy peace in peace. Now that the western captives have been destroyed, and the northern captives are not at peace, they need to be overthrown in one go. All of them are stable, and they can also have leisure to participate in politics and implement the politics of Jingtian. ”

Strengthening armaments with a view to deciding the fate of the two countries in World War I was a one-and-done plan of the new party.
