Chapter 43: Cultivating Chen and Solidifying Autumn is Not Far Away (13)

[Supplement to yesterday.] 】

Wang Bei had just sent Cai Bian away, and when he came back, he saw Wang Anshi sighing.

The dignified school official of the Guozijian had to bribe the guards to escort them out if he wanted to go out. In this way, I have to change into the clothes of the people, and I can't even wear official uniforms.

His own disciple suffered from the pond fish, but the cause of the incident was the disciple's brother, who attacked his son-in-law.

In addition to sighing, Wang Anshi didn't know what to say?

"Your Excellency." The king walked into the room.

Wang Anshi raised his head and asked, "Yuan Du went back?" ”

Let Li Jin take a few people to send him back. No one should dare to stop it. ”

Hearing this, Wang Anshi nodded, and shook his head again.

With the signboard of Wang Anshi's mansion, and Wang Anshi's personal entourage as a guard, how many people dare to collide? But Wang Anshi's personal entourage is to send it tonight, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

"Do you want to go and talk to Kaifeng Mansion?" Seeing that the old father was in a heavy mood, Wang said with concern.

"Kaifeng Mansion is not confused, and it will not be delayed for too long. Cai Jing's side is all official eunuchs, and they have endured it for a day or two, and no one can bear it for a long time. Once they play together, it's ugly on either side. ”

"But even if there is no one around, Yuandu's life will not be easy." Wang said, "Uncle Fang just came over, doesn't it mean that there are already more than a dozen guilds in the city, and the capital has passed the word that they are not allowed to sell a stitch to the Cai family. ”

"Hmm." Thinking of what his brother-in-law Shen Jichang said, Wang Anshi could only sigh.

In the middle of Tokyo. The guilds were three hundred and six, and the great ones were seventy-two. In fact, they are all imaginary numbers. But it is certain that many guilds controlled the trade of the capital. At the beginning of its establishment, it was intended to control the sale of all kinds of goods to stabilize the prices of the capital, but now it has gradually transferred other commodities except grain back to the guild management, and its own family is only responsible for collecting accounts, everything is the same as in the old days, except that more officials come up to peel off an extra layer of skin - this is the characteristic of the bureaucratic class, and the trouble and lack of money have always been pushed out.

This dynasty treats officials the most. Cai Jing's status is not low. The imperial court made a fortune, and there was money and kind. There will be no shortage of food, no shortage of cloth, salt and tea, ice in summer, charcoal in winter, and court officials at the level of Cai Jing, as long as the population in the family is not large, it is enough for ordinary daily use.

But what about the rest, where will the oil, sugar, sauce and vinegar government care? Usually women's rouge gouache gold and silver jewelry will not be issued. There are also all kinds of fresh meat dishes, and the court will not even wrap them up. All kinds of daily necessities have to be bought with money. The feasible will now say that it is dead in a word, and not a single stitch or thread is allowed to be sold!

This is the anger of the people, so that they are in trouble and their lives are sad.

Cai Jing's experience proves that what he said is true, and Han Gang is indeed deeply popular. But at this moment, who would dare to attack Han Gang with these words?

With the current situation of the Cai family, even if Cai Bian moved out of the house to separate, he will still be recognized, and it will only be better when he goes outside.

"Yukun is really a bit excessive, it's just a palace servant."

Wang Bian could more or less guess the reason why Han Gang did this, but he still couldn't understand it. As long as Han Gang can hold the phase steadily, it is not impossible to trample Cai Jing to death outside for the rest of his life.

"He can't bear his qi."

Wang Anshi sighed, if he was just an official, why bother with being full of slander? It's just that I care too much about qi science, and I can't tolerate anyone to interfere. Just like myself back then, I offended all my old friends, and I have been famous for 30 years, what is it for? It's not for a lifetime's work!

With Cai Jing starting out, there will be more and more people attacking Qi Science in the future. If Han Gang hadn't stepped on Cai Jing completely like he did now, he wouldn't have thought about developing Qi in the future.

Among the many schools of thought today, Qi science is the most closely related to reality. Even its fundamental meaning is to observe all things in the world and find the truth of heaven and earth from them.

Therefore, it is impossible not to involve the issue of shaking the imperial power. Astronomy, calendrical calculations, and qi science are all involved, and many places are strictly forbidden by the imperial court to study privately. The more thoroughly one studies it, the more deeply the court ban is violated, and the more serious the crime becomes.

Wang Anshi has long understood that fundamentally, after the theory of Gewu is studied to the fullest, it will inevitably drive the Son of Heaven from the position of Jedi Tiantong.

In fact, as a great Confucian, Wang Anshi himself also has a negative attitude towards the sacredness of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out the princely generals, would you rather have a kind? Wei and Jin confessed, and successively inscribed Zen, so that the intention of the Han emperors of the past dynasties to try to add color to the Son of Heaven with the weft completely lost its effect. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was difficult for many sons of heaven to have a good death. Later in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs abolished the emperor and regarded the Son of Heaven as a protégé. In the fifth generation, some people even shouted 'the Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and horses are strong'.

As long as they are familiar with the history books, what scholar would believe that the one who sits on the throne is really the son of heaven? As long as there are ministers who can get close to the emperor on a daily basis, how many will believe in the sanctity of the Son of Heaven?

Mo said that he was a literati, even if the soldiers below were close to the emperor, they would not feel how holy he was. Otherwise, how could the personal officials guarding the palace believe in Maitreya, so that the change of the guards that occurred during the Qingli period?

You must know that if you can become a pro-servant official, all of them are innocent for three generations, and they have been strictly examined and tested. Many of them have been members of the forbidden army or even Banzhi since the early years of the founding of the country, inherited from father to son, and have continued to this day. Such a person can kill the more holy Son of Heaven for the sake of the ethereal Maitreya Buddha. It can be seen that if you get close to the emperor, you will only regard him as a mortal.

But these words cannot be said explicitly.

But the research of Qi Science so far is clearly depriving the Son of Heaven of his aura. From the Xuanye theory, to the shape of the earth, to the five stars around the sun, and the cosmology that has not yet been announced, but Wang Anshi has already heard, according to the actual situation observed, to reinterpret the laws of the sun, moon and stars. It separates astronomy and meteorology, and is completely cut off from all past prophecies.

From the point of view of Confucianism, there is no more orthodox Confucianism than such a doctrine - worship ghosts and gods and stay away, and do not speak strange and chaotic gods - the Wei Wei Tu said that it was not originally a Confucian thing.

However, the sacredness of the emperor, for thousands of years, has been inseparable from Yuwei, even if the emperor himself has a clear understanding, but it is still a secret that cannot be declared.

Since Qi Science is ascending step by step on the edge of the cliff, Han Gang must put an end to any people and things that will cause danger, and not hesitate to use the most violent means to expel them, so as to warn future generations not to repeat Cai Jing's mistakes.

How many years can he continue such persistence? Wang Anshi couldn't help but worry.

Han Gang is completely playing with fire, and if he is not careful, he will burn himself and Qi Xue together.

……………………

Wang Anshi can see through the danger, and Han Gang is of course more self-aware.

He is planning how to accelerate the development of qi science and make it irreplaceable.

This is a priority. What is left for him is only more than ten years at most.

Recently, he has been paying attention to the little emperor's every move. Now it is almost certain that Zhao Xu has a deep hostility towards him, and the words that Zhao Xu left before the Zen throne made him become a traitor in Zhao Xu's heart.

A child's hatred is not a big deal, but such emotions will affect his view of qi science, and he will also be biased in learning. This is something that Han Gang doesn't like to see. However, Han Gang was still confident that he would turn his view of Qi science around—there was nothing more boring in this world than studying the scriptures hard.

As for what he thinks of himself, put it aside. No emperor would like a courtier who is too high-minded, and when Zhao Xu can be in power, no matter what he thinks of him now, he will become the same attitude - vigilant and hostile.

Han Gang had no intention of gambling on Zhao Xu's lifespan, no matter how old he could live, the plan he prepared must be prepared for the worst.

The specific plan is actually already being implemented, and at this stage, all of Han Gang's plans are aimed at promoting a closer connection between qi science and society.

After Cai Jing's case, the court ushered in a long-lost peace.

Cai Jing got up early every day to participate in the Chang Dynasty, and the crowd around his house gradually dispersed, but the people in his family went out to buy, and the price was always several or even more than ten times more expensive, and there were more merchants who directly refused to come to his door. No one sympathized with him, but most laughed at him. In addition, Cai Bian also applied to go out, and with the intervention of Wang Anshi, he was soon released to Muyang County, Haizhou, on Huainan East Road, as the magistrate.

jumped into the Yushi Terrace, and Wu Yan did not come to visit. After becoming a Taiwan official, he must always pay attention to his dealings with important ministers, and he does not have the courage of Cai Jing to travel around the high gate while doing imperial history. But he still sent a letter to Han Gang to express his gratitude.

Half a month later, the first batch of bronze and more beautifully made coins were released; Brass was built and formed as the mother model of ten coins, and the purchase channels of the required raw materials were also determined; The bellsmiths are revising the model of artillery according to Han Gang's opinion; The improved formula for gunpowder is still not yet in sight, but the explosion power experiment is also well underway.

The progress was fast and slow, but it never stopped, and Han Gang was already very satisfied with it.

In this half a month, Cai did get his wish to clean up and down the imperial history platform, Wutai, the Taiwan officials in the court, ten days to seven or eight, the imperial history of Li Qingchen for this table. On the same day, Empress Taishang issued an edict, and the former Imperial History Zhongcheng Li Dingguan, who had been convicted of going out, was reinstated and returned to the Imperial History Platform.

Lu Huiqing accepted the appointment to go to Hebei and will soon enter Beijing. In addition, Su Shi was also recruited back and is about to take up the post of Zhongshushe, which seems to be one of the quid pro quo between Zhang Dian and Cai Qu.

There was also Goryeo, and the Liao State was said to have reached the southernmost point and invaded its entire territory. The envoy sent by Yelu Yixin had already crossed the border and arrived in Beijing in a few days.

After the fourth issue of Nature was reviewed and Fu Zi's manuscript was determined, Han Gang carefully put the manuscript into a wooden box.

Sitting on the rocking chair, resting, thinking about the recent personnel in my heart, I feel that this capital is going to be more lively again.
