Chapter 45: King Anshi
Night falls, and the breeze blows. Zhao Ji took Li Xiang'an and a few other iron guards to patrol the fire cavalry camp. It's his old habit. The fire cavalry battalion occupied a part of the original Qiongzhou joint defense army station, it was late autumn, the weather was cold, and there was no more burning wormwood to drive out mosquitoes, but the piles of wormwood ash before the expedition were still there.
Zhao Ji exhaled a long breath of white air to the sky, sorted out his troubled thoughts, and came to the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, because he crossed over as an emperor and came into contact with many characters at all levels of the Great Song Dynasty, in his education since childhood, whether it was Cai Jing or Lu Huiqing, they were undoubtedly negative characters, and they were all spurned traitors, even Wang Anshi, if it weren't for his excellent poetry, he would probably be a negative character, but as he got older and had more and more experience, he began to slowly realize, History has been dressed in too many cloak and the confusion of wild history and official history, as well as the three large-scale falsification of history since the Ming and Qing dynasties, have made it difficult for later generations to see the truth.
It's not easy to understand a person and comment on an era! Characters in history, how can the word loyalty and traitor begin to be clear? Through the protagonist in the novel, he appointed ministers according to the loyalty and treachery of later generations, and finally made the country strong. In real history, it's very different!
Zhao Ji still remembers a poem he often saw when he was a child: On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops of grass go to the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work. This poem tells people that food is hard to come by and should be cherished. The poem is so brilliant that one must have thought that the person who wrote it must have been a moral example of thrift. In fact? Probably people who knew who the author of the poem was, would not think so. The author of this poem is Li Shen.
According to historical records, Li Shen was "gradually extravagant" after becoming an official, and the consumption of a meal was as much as hundreds, or even thousands, and he especially liked to eat chicken tongue, one plate per meal, more than 300 live chickens, and the chickens slaughtered in the courtyard were piled up. There is no sense of simplicity and cherishing of "food on a plate" and "hard work".
Those who admonish others to abide by the law are often those who do not abide by the law and the law has no way to deal with them, and the scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty are such a group of people. In dealing with others, they are often strict with the moral norms of Confucian gentlemen, but in fact what about themselves? But it is a group of **extravagant and idle people. When others do things, they point fingers, but they themselves do nothing, they only know how to fight for power and profit, and they only know how to sabotage.
However, the pen of history is in their hands. Which one can do it? They bet on tricks for fun, that is called being suave, and when others do this, it is ** obscene and corrupting the social atmosphere. All the bad things have become good things through their pen and flowers. Whatever is good has become a bad thing after they maliciously slander it. Killing people with a pen is much more vicious than a knife handle!
It has been almost three years since Zhao Ji came to the Northern Song Dynasty to be the emperor, and the inspiration given to him in these three years is that he would rather believe in real villains than hypocrites. Zhao Ji secretly made up his mind to cut off Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Fu Bi's group, and to raise the butcher's knife to the moral gentlemen of this era! The pen can't say anything about them, so let the knife handle seal them forever!
Let's say Han Qi, this person is known in later history as a famous general from the literati of the Song Dynasty. But this person fought in Haoshuichuan and lost the only elite cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty. In history, this person impeached Wang Anshi for seven deadly sins: one was to make Goryeo come to pay tribute, the second was to obtain the land of Tibet and establish the Xi River, the third was to plant trees in the West Mountain to limit the cavalry of foreign countries, the fourth was to create Baojia, the fifth was to build the city of Hebei, the sixth was to set up the capital to make new bows and arrows and large chariots, and the seventh was to appoint 37 generals in Hebei. He suggested that all of these should be eliminated so that the enemy would no longer be suspicious.
If the enemy does not want to see that we are prepared, we will withdraw and prepare, and if the enemy does not want to see us have a head, will we also cut off our heads? It's hard to believe that a celebrity will make such a joke.
No matter what later generations say about Wang Anshi's reforms, Zhao Ji made up his mind to fully support Wang Anshi's implementation of the changes, and use the massacre to clear the way for Wang Anshi's changes! We can't let those who have nothing to do sabotage Wang Anshi's changes!
Later generations had too many negative evaluations of Wang Anshi, which made Zhao Ji suffer deeply. So much so that at the beginning, Zhao Ji compromised with the gang that opposed Wang Anshi. And now, Zhao Ji understands that those negative evaluations in later generations are malicious slander against Wang Anshi. Putting aside those malicious slanders, Wang Anshi is almost a saint in Zhao Ji's eyes! But this saint who adheres to principles is said to be a bad man!
Zhao Ji saw Wang Anshi, his character and measurement are as grand as a thousand acres of water, his integrity is as lofty as a thousand mountain cliffs, his academic achievements integrate the essence of various schools, his articles began eight generations later, and the national policies he presided over and set up achieved results, adapted to the requirements of the times and saved the crisis caused by the disadvantages of the society at that time. Many of the laws and regulations he proposed in good faith were not repealed by later generations; Those that were abolished were also mostly in line with political principles. The reason why Western countries in later generations spoke highly of Wang Anshi was that the political systems of their countries were the same as Wang Anshi's ideas for reforming?
In later generations, the United States commented on Wang Anshi: It was Wang Anshi who saved the United States! The reason why he said such things was because the New Deal implemented by Roosevelt in order to save the United States from economic crisis was a copy of Wang Anshi's reforms.
Lu Xun said: A nation without heroes is sad, and a nation that produces heroes but does not know respect is a state of slaves forever.
The people of today oppose Wang Anshi, and the people of later generations slander Wang Anshi. God gave a great man to save the Great Song Dynasty and save China, but no one cherished it. In the end, the Great Song Dynasty perished, and China sank. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji had to hide his face and cry bitterly!
If Wang Anshi's reform can be successful, perhaps China has already entered modern times and created an industrial civilization!
Zhao Ji read Wang Anshi's "Emperor Shangrenzong's Book of Words", in which Wang Anshi stated the current situation and analyzed political malpractices, which was detailed and appropriate everywhere. Wang Anshi's knowledge beyond the times shocked Zhao Ji, a later person, and almost thought that Wang Anshi was also a traverser. However, Zhao Ji was poisoned by the negative evaluation of later generations, and did not fully support Wang Anshi, but compromised with the opposition, so that he encountered today's embarrassment.
"Alas!" Zhao Ji let out a long sigh, turned the horse's head, and prepared to return to the imperial tent.
"Does the Holy Lord really want to go back to Beijing with Liu Qi and his group? If they came to deceive the Holy Lord, once the Holy One left the expeditionary force and left Qiongzhou, the consequences would be unimaginable! Li Xiang'an admonished on the side.
Li Xiangan's consideration is not unreasonable. If those people who followed were all here to lure Zhao Ji to Bianjing. Then once Zhao Ji left the expeditionary force, there was no army around him. It is likely that they will be imprisoned or even killed.
"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. From their eyes, I can tell the difference between the real and the fake. In case it is really as you said, even if I have never been to Da Song, my appearance is an accident in itself. Zhao Ji sighed.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Zhao Ji can distinguish the true from the fake in his eyes. It can be seen that Zhao Ji gradually transformed from a special soldier who crossed over into a real emperor. It's been three years, and Zhao Ji has integrated into this era and has adapted to the role of the emperor.
After returning to the imperial tent, Zhao Ji fell on the bed and fell asleep deeply, and now Zhao Ji is really tired physically and mentally. Li Xiangan found that he couldn't understand this official family more and more, but he deeply realized Zhao Ji's loneliness.
"Just because I've never been to Da Song, my appearance is an accident in itself." What does this phrase mean? Li Xiangan kept speculating, but he couldn't figure it out. How could Li Xiangan know that the current Zhao Ji was actually a traverser!
Li Xiangan shook his head, squatted down, took off his shoes and socks for Zhao Ji, brought a basin of hot water, and soaked Zhao Ji's feet. Then he took off his robe for Zhao Ji and covered the quilt for Zhao Ji. After everything was done, he looked at the sleeping Zhao Ji, with a faint smile on his face, and said to himself: "It's like a child!" ”
Li Xiang'an was not determined, and he did not respond to Zhao Ji in time about the court, even if he was thinking about Zhao Xu, but Zhao Xiang had to face it in a hurry now. When Zhao Ji learned about these things, Li Xiangan was ready to be killed. But Zhao Ji didn't kill him, didn't even blame him, still kept him by his side, and still trusted him very much, Li Xiangan felt relieved from the heart. Although during the day, Zhao Xuan appointed the commander of the Shadow Guard and handed over the Iron Arm Guard to Di Yong, and Li Xiang'an was almost completely deprived of his power, but Li Xiangan had no resentment. The removal of his power was also a relief for him.
·······
The next day, although the temperature dropped again, the sky was clear. Zhao Ji stretched and sat up.
"The last will knock to the Holy One." Ten people walked in from outside the imperial tent and bowed to Zhao Ji.
These ten people are all people who want to follow Zhao Ji to sneak back to Bianjing, including Di Yong, the commander of the Iron Arm Guard, the military division and Shang Muqing, five of the ten great generals of the fire cavalry, Guo Kai, Sun Wencheng, Gao Fei, Yang Jin, and Li Jirong, the commander of the Shadow Guard, Liu Qi, the commander of the Ming Wang, Zhang Dun, the cabinet group, and the medical battalion of the expeditionary force Zheng Pang Anshi.
Pang Anshi, who was Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, was a famous doctor in the Northern Song Dynasty. When An Shi was young, his father gave him the pulse tips, but he was not satisfied, and then read the pulse book of the Yellow Emperor Bian Que, and gradually became familiar with medical theory and realized new ideas. When he was nearly deaf with the weak coronavirus, he studied hard the secrets such as "Lingshu" and "Suwen", and integrated the medical skills involved in the "Hundred Schools of Scripture". In the spring of the third year, Xining entered the Jishi Academy with superb medical skills, and was later transferred to Qiongzhou by the Political Affairs Hall and became a team leader in the medical battalion.
"Looks like I'm going to have to put on makeup, too." Seeing that these ten people had changed their appearance and dressed up as businessmen, Zhao Ji said with a smile.
"Holy Lord, let's put on your clothes first!" Li Xiangan took out a set of businessman's clothes and said.
"You're Lao Li, hahaha." Zhao Ji laughed when he saw Li Xiang'an's appearance after changing his appearance.
After getting dressed, Liu Qi took out a box and changed the appearance for Zhao Ji.
"Is it all arranged?" Zhao Ji asked Liu Qidao.
"Holy Lord, rest assured. A message has already been sent. The puppet emperor must have thought that the saint was still in Qiongzhou, and the concubine Niangniang was there, and the secret letter had already been sent. Liu Qi replied.
"The last general (Weichen) has seen the saint." Cai Jing, Bai Bolang, Gou Hongshe, Xue Yi, Wan Bing and others walked into the imperial tent and saluted Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji has reappointed cabinet members, Cai Jing is still the first assistant, Bai Bolang and Wan Bing are the second assistants, and the other six army commanders are group assistants. After Zhao Ji left, they ruled Qiongzhou.
"Everything is done?" Zhao asked Cai Jingdao.
"It's all arranged. The governor of Leizhou is a friend of Weichen, and the saint can land from Leizhou and take the dry road to Bianjing. It's just a dry road, the time is too long, and I don't know how many dangers there are along the way. Maybe it's better to take the waterway. Cai Jing replied.
"It's not good to take the waterway, but now the inventory is tight, and it is easy to be found by the waterway. Rest assured, along the way, there will be Mingjiao members secretly protecting you. There is no danger in taking dry roads. Liu Qi hurriedly said.
"Proceed as planned. Qiongzhou was entrusted to Cai Shoufu, and after I left, I immediately closed the sea and forbade anyone from entering and leaving Qiongzhou. Always be ready for a sneak attack. Zhao Ji confessed.
