Chapter 12: The Compromise of the Monarch and the Minister

Zhao Ji kissed Empress Xiang lightly, comforted him a few words, and hurried to the Chongzheng Palace.

Empress Xiang is not good-looking, at least not very good-looking in Zhao Ji's aesthetics. It can't be said that love is generated, the love of the later generations is perfect, but the marriage is not perfect. In this life, if Zhao Ji will not be abolished because he doesn't like Queen Xiang, marriage is destined to be perfect, and love is a blank.

The ancient emperor, which one is perfect in love? Born in the court, raised in the hands of a woman. Most of the emperor's first time was taken away by the nurse, and in the deep palace, which of those palace maids who are looking forward to changing their fate is not seducing the prince or the emperor? The ancient imperial palace seems to be a norm of benevolence, righteousness, morality and etiquette, but in fact it is the most absurd and sinister place. Those princes, those emperors, were often broken by the palace ladies when they were teenagers.

Let's just say that Emperor Renzong, who ascended the throne as an emperor in his teens, was in power by Empress Dowager Liu and did nothing, and his energy was used as the palace maid and concubine. I also like to roll the sheets with a few concubines, and in the end I don't have a son.

Zhao Ji is very reluctant to stay in the palace, staying here, sooner or later he will die in a hotbed.

In ancient dynasties, emperors were often inferior to one generation. An emperor who grew up in such an environment, even if there is an emperor who works hard, it is difficult to think of what he can do.

And although Zhao Ji sympathizes with those palace maids, he also hates those people very much, or hates the palace system very much. When Zhao Ji thought that Empress Xiang was waiting for him to go back, Zhao Ji, who hurriedly returned to Funing Palace, saw Empress Xiang, Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Chen practicing that technique there naked, which was simply a gay film made in Japan in later generations, which made Zhao Ji very disgusted.

Concubine Zhu and Concubine Chen were both sent to the palace in the first year of Xining (1068), and since the arrival of this reborn Zhao Ji, in addition to treating them as little girls, they have never been spoiled by their minds, including to the queen. This made them very anxious and decided to practice their skills hard.

In Zhao Ji's memories before, such things were regarded as normal in the palace, and when they saw Zhao Ji and found out that they were practicing skills together, they didn't have the slightest shame.

Not only the palace maids, but also the eunuchs, Li Xiang'an, who was extremely loyal to Zhao Ji, won the favor of the Empress Dowager Gao because of his ventriloquist skills, and was finally promoted to the inner servant of the Yellow Gate. If it weren't for Nian's fall from grace, Li Xiangan would not have been sent to Zhao Ji's side. However, Li Xiang'an can also be regarded as a complete merit.

The emperor is useless, how to prevent civil servants, military generals, and relatives is useless, and what should happen will still happen. This is true of every dynasty. Zhao Ji intends to change the palace system, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold. What can be done now is to try to appease as much as possible, and hide outside the palace if you can.

Zhao Ji was bored in his heart, and walked even faster. Li Xiang'an and Zhang Ruoshui followed behind with a group of small yellow men carrying Long Yuan, tired and panting.

"Li Huangmen, you haven't been home for a long time, go back and have a look!" Zhao Ji suddenly stopped and said.

In the Song Dynasty, high-ranking eunuchs had their own residences outside the palace, and even had children. Of course, wives and children are bought. And Li Xiangan has a big villa outside, which is similar to the officials in the court.

"The villain obeys." Li Xiangan looked at Zhao Ji who was far away, and knew that Zhao Ji was bored, because he had also seen the scene just now.

Perhaps, the person who still knows a little bit about Zhao Ji is probably this eunuch Li Xiang'an.

Li Xiang'an, who was thirty-two years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, was more hard-working, hard-working, and more talented than ordinary soldiers when he was training at the Li Family Horse Farm. In the big competition, the archers and horses were all in the top few, which made those real men ashamed. Through this, he often stimulated the Golden Fire Cavalry soldiers, who were humiliated and howled during training. Everything he did was in the eyes of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was very happy and trusted him.

・・・・・・

Walking into the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji found that in addition to the cabinet ministers, Tang Jie was missing, but Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the two dismissed ministers, were there.

Could it be that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang have rebelled? A glimmer of foreboding welled up in my heart.

Zhao Ji remembered that Tang Jie had passed away. Wen Yanbo recommended Sima Guang to the cabinet, Han Jiang recommended Wang Anshi to the cabinet, and Fu Bi recommended Han Qi to the cabinet. Zhao Ji, who was training, ignored it.

What Zhao Ji didn't know was that these scholars and doctors had good personal relationships. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang also felt the change in Zhao Ji, and this change made them afraid. Because he saw Zhao Ji's heavy punishment of martial arts, winning over businessmen and low-level soldiers, there were signs of completely breaking the national policy of Emperor Taizu and scholars to rule the world together.

And Zhao Ji did have such an idea, purging the bureaucratic landlord class by absolute force, and then dividing the land, abolishing the state monopoly, and promoting the development of industry and commerce. Such an idea is exactly the same as that of the socialist revolution.

However, Zhao Ji has not yet made up his mind, because the scholar class is the elite of this era, and the lower class people of this era have not yet realized the consciousness of later generations, and once this is done, the country will lose a lot of talents. It's not something that can be restored in a hundred years. Moreover, the Khitan party members were eyeing the outside, fearing that once they made a move, these landlords would completely betray the country.

After the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the army of the peasant rebel army Li Zicheng, the landlords of the Central Plains were in panic all day, and finally took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, which represented the interests of the landlords. Zhao Ji, who studies history, is well aware of this. Different environments, different policies, Zhao Ji is also very confused. If you are afraid that if you do something wrong, you will not be able to turn back.

Zhao Ji, who graduated with a major in history, also understands that history has its own development trajectory, and even if it is achieved by force, he will eventually return to the way it was.

Zhao Ji sat on the throne, and after the ministers saluted, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen small yellow doors quickly moved chairs. After the ministers sat down, Zhao Ji did not take the lead in asking questions, nor did he ask why Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were here.

"Shengshang, Xixia repeatedly violated the border, and Weichen recommended Han Jiang as the Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy, presided over side affairs, and appeased the people. Sima Guang is the great sage of the country, and he cannot be left in the opposition, so Weichen recommended Sima Guang to join the cabinet. "Wen Yanbo wants to leave a cabinet position for Sima Guang.

"This matter is decided by the cabinet, I have been training outside for a long time, and I don't know about the border affairs in Shaanxi." Zhao Ji agreed with Wen Yanbo's recommendation.

The Chongzheng Hall was quiet for a while, and the time for the showdown between the monarchs and ministers was coming, and no one on either side wanted to be the first to make it clear. Although they sensed the possible threat of the emperor, the cabinet ministers saw the benefits of the cabinet as an institution and were reluctant to turn against the emperor. Zhao Ji's pragmatism, he will not pretend to understand, and he will command chaotically, which makes the ministers appreciate it very much. This is the demeanor of the Ming monarch, and the ministers are unwilling to oppose this emperor unless they have to.

In the half year since Wang Anshi founded Qianzhuang, he was once convinced by Zhao Ji. Because the Qingmiao method that he had been thinking about for a long time was implemented without any pressure, and it went very smoothly. Not only did the people get the green money, but they also lent a lot of money to the state treasury. Although the imperial court will repay its debts and interest in the coming year, the urgent need for an empty treasury has been solved. This made Wang Anshi happy with the cabinet ministers for a time. A group of old ministers who had previously opposed Wang Anshi's reform also began to support Wang Anshi.

Although Qianzhuang has just been established and has encountered many new problems, which have not existed in previous dynasties, Wang Anshi is still very confident.

The plan to replace gold, silver and copper coins with Jiaozi has not yet been laid out, and there are many problems to be solved, and Wang Anshi and his group of supporters are planning and discussing, deducing the difficulties that may be encountered, and improving the mechanism.

The so-called confidant died, and Wang Anshi found his position in managing money. Wang Anshi once imagined that after Jiaozi was issued, almost all the money in the entire Great Song Dynasty would be in his hands. This made Wang Anshi very excited. Isn't the excitement of financial management here?

The first to feel the threat of Zhao Ji was Sima Guang, a master of historiography, whose skills in dealing with people had almost reached its peak, and he once had the right to know the court and the court, and he had allocated a lot of capable talents to convince the government and the opposition.

Zhao Ji's change made Sima Guang's heart beat for a while. The civilization academy that Zhao Ji made him founded was completely different from other academies such as Guozijian. It is not to learn the doctrine of a certain school, but to gather the strengths of a hundred schools. Sima Guang was against it for a while, but Zhao Ji prevaricated with the fact that the children of businessmen should learn from this.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, the others have been regarded as miscellaneous studies and cannot be put on the table. People like Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Wen Yanbo are very proficient in miscellaneous studies, but they are only for the sake of increasing their knowledge, and they are not respected.

Zhao Ji named the doctrines of the Spring and Autumn Period as philosophy. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, set as. The historical books of each dynasty are designated as historiography. Craftsman skills are defined as engineering, agricultural planting is defined as agronomy, business calculation is defined as business, imperial court decrees are defined as law, medical treatment is defined as medicine, mining and smelting is defined as mining, and martial arts and soldiers are designated as military science.

Sima Guang wanted to sort out these learnings from the books of various schools and compile them into a book according to Zhao Ji's intentions. Sima Guang and his followers were too busy to compile a history book, but now they have to compile so many books.

Sima Guang found out in his busy schedule that Zhao Ji, an official family, was preparing to juxtapose the study of sages with miscellaneous studies, was preparing to completely change the monopoly of the Confucian family, was preparing to put scholars and scholars alongside merchants, generals, farmers, and craftsmen, and was preparing to "rule the world with scholars".

He told Wang Anshi about this possibility, and Wang Anshi responded: "Even if the official family is like this, what can we do?" The official family was now out of the palace gates and was supported by merchants and soldiers. Even if we are scholars, most of them support the official family. I won't believe you and oppose the official family just because of your words. ”

After receiving the news, the ministers of the DPRK and China also became blind. The officials have not done anything, and now opposing the officials is completely condemning. The establishment of the cabinet has made the ministers of the DPRK and China truly feel what it means to rule the world together. The government has almost completely decentralized.

If you oppose the official family now, once this official family who worships martial arts and heavy punishment makes trouble and solves the problem by force, then the Great Song Dynasty will never have peace. Western Xia and Northern Liao are eyeing each other, and the Great Song Dynasty can't stand the toss!

Zhao Ji and the ministers were silent, preoccupied, speculating about what the other party was thinking and what they wanted to do?

"Holy Lord, now the treasury is empty, and the people are suffering from errands, and they are restless. Weichen asked the saint to allow Han Qi, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi to enter the cabinet to discuss the change. A rich country and a strong army. The cabinet leader broke the silence.

"Is this a compromise?" Zhao Ji looked at this main force who had opposed the change before, and laughed in his heart.

In the past, Zhao Ji wanted to change the law, but Zai Zhi opposed it. But now Zhao Ji is not just changing the law, this is to prepare to take them together, they can only retreat to the second, change the law and change the law!

It's like a story about opening a window. A group of people stayed in a small dark house, and one suggested that a window should be opened, but the others disagreed. Someone else proposed to demolish the whole house, okay, you open a window, you can open it, don't tear down the house.

"Hehe, why did the rich minister say this? Fuxiang has always taught me that the law of my ancestors is immutable. Why is it repeating it now? I can't believe that Fu Xiang is such a repetitive villain! Zhao Ji stood up and sneered.

"Holy!" Wang Anshi stood up and yelled. Zhao Ji was almost taken aback by Wang Anshi.

"Okay. Wen Yanbo was the prime minister of the cabinet, Fu Bi and Zhao Bian were the ruling ministers, Lu Xu, Wu Chong, Feng Jing, Chen Shengzhi, Han Jiang, Han Qi, and Zhang Fangping were the counselors, Sima Guang was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fan Zhen was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Su Zhe was appointed as the secretary of the household department, Zhang Duo was appointed as the secretary of the criminal department, Su Song was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Kumamoto was appointed as the secretary of the military department, Wang Shao was appointed as the secretary of the military department, and the three yas were abolished and merged into the military department. The ministers of each ministry served as executive advisers to the cabinet. Su Shi served as the head of the Civilized Academy, abolished the Guozijian and merged it into the Civilized Academy. The strategy for changing the law is to be discussed by your cabinet. Whether you want to change the law or not, look at your strategy and then decide! He was promoted to Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy. That's it. Zhao Ji made a series of appointments in one breath.

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he turned around and left. Leaving behind the ministers who looked at each other.
