Chapter 9: Mutual Loyalty
The emperor summoned the Hanlin scholar alone, which was also extremely rare since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, knew very well that as long as he left the Qinzheng Palace today, it would naturally attract the discussion of some officials in the imperial court, so he must let Shenzong, the little emperor, listen to what he said. A "but" immediately woke Zhao Ji from the praise he had just heard for the emperor, and he stared at Wang Anshi with both eyes, waiting for him to continue.
Wang Anshi paused for a moment, and then said: "The disadvantages of several generations of this dynasty have been conformist and decadent, but there are no imperial relatives and courtiers to talk about it...... By writing poems and endowing them with erudition and strong memory, they selected the world's scholars, but there was no way for schools to cultivate talents; The official positions in the court are ranked according to the depth of seniority, and there is no system for officials to evaluate their actual performance. There are no inspectors in the supervision department, and the guards are not selected and selected ministers, and it is difficult to evaluate the actual performance by frequently transferring and relocating officials...... The peasants were burdened by forced labor, and did not see special relief and pensions, and did not appoint officials for them to build farmland and water conservancy; The soldiers were mixed with the old, the weak and the sick, and the defense of the capital was collected by some ruffians, and there was no teaching and training in the royal family, and there was no selection and recommendation,...... As for managing the finances, there is basically no law......"
Since it was the second son, Wang, who reminded him to check the pulse, the doctor must explain the patient clearly before he can prescribe the right medicine. Wang Anshi's summary of various paralysis in one breath became smoother and smoother, and he felt very happy after saying them one by one. Looking at Song Shenzong Zhao Ji, he opened his mouth and stared at his eyes, not knowing whether he was stupid or stupid by so many drawbacks, and looked at Wang Anshi in a daze.
Although Zhao Ji went south with Wang Bian twice, and also heard Wang Bian talk about some shortcomings, he experienced some things personally, and felt that Wang Bian had to change some of the shortcomings he had to say; Especially when Han Jiang smiled bitterly and told him that there was only a pile of account books left in the treasury, Zhao Ji felt that there was a big problem with the current system. But these feelings have never been as detailed as Wang Anshi's summary, analyzing the drawbacks and consequences.
Looking at Zhao Ji's expression, Wang Anshi hurriedly stopped his words: "Holy Shengming, when you have made such great achievements, you are in power." I beg your God's forgiveness for my outspokenness. Whether it is appropriate or not, please judge by God. ”
Zhao Ji was completely convinced by Wang Anshi's words at this moment, he forgot the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, stood up and walked in front of Wang Anshi, just like a long-term sick patient seeing a good doctor, as if seeing a glimmer of hope in life, he clasped Wang Anshi's hand and said excitedly: "To govern the country, there must be someone first, Tang Taizong has Wei Zheng, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, can he make great achievements!" ”
Wang Anshi was also in a surging mood when he heard this, and was about to thank the Holy Grace for his love, when he suddenly remembered the advice next to the king. What is mutual loyalty? Whether it is Wei Zheng or Zhuge Liang, they are loyal ministers and famous generals. Wei Zheng is known for his upright personality, outstanding intelligence, and courage to make mistakes. As an important assistant to Taizong, he once earnestly asked Taizong to make him a "good minister" who was useful for governing the country, rather than making him a "loyal minister" who did his duty to the emperor alone. And Zhuge Liang even did his best to die, and he frequently annoyed the world, and opened the hearts of the old ministers in the two dynasties.
Thinking of this, Wang Anshi smiled indifferently: "Holy Lord, the Great Song Dynasty is so big in the world, isn't it easy to find sages like Wei Zheng and Zhuge Liang?" If the saint can be like Yao Shun, there must be Gao and Kui; If it can really be like Yin Gaozong Wuding, there must be Fu said. ”
Zhao Ji is also a smart person, he looked at Wang Anshi with a smile, this legendary stubborn man is really not ordinary, this is negotiating terms with himself. There was a fierce competition between the "four fierce" clique led by Kun and the alliance leader Yao Shun; In order to ensure his position as the leader of the alliance, Yao Shun took advantage of the unpopular opportunity of Kun's mistake in controlling the water and decisively achieved a successful "portal cleanup". At the same time, it also laid the foundation for Gao and Kui Fuzheng. This is Wang Anshi testing whether he will firmly support him.
"Good! The prince said so, then tell me what you want to do, as long as you can meet the needs of my thirty-two treasury and realize the wish of enriching the country and strengthening the army, the official family will definitely do its best to overcome public opinion! ”
At this time, the monarch's hands were tightly clasped together, and Wang Anshi became more and more confident. In the following time, Wang Anshi talked to Zhao Ji in detail about his reform ideas, which have been summarized into a complete system after several years, from the Wanyanshu in the Renzong period, to the pilot project of Wang Bi's southward trip to Yongzhou, and then back to Wang Anshi's several reform opinions. And how to implement it step by step, Zhao Ji made a difficulty. Wang Anshi's diagnosis and development is not to drink a few pairs of medicines and recuperate, but to use the knife, which is probably a major event that challenges the current system.
Just when Zhao Ji looked at some of Wang Anshi's suggestions over and over again, thinking about how to carry out reforms, news came from the front that Li Liangzuo's troops had attacked Yanzhou. At this time, the reinforcements next to King Yue Li had also arrived in Sanchuan Village.
The large army set up camp in Sanchuan Village, and the ten-mile joint camp waved the flag.
The patrol guards shuttled through the big tents, vigilantly observing the movements around them, and from time to time fast horses rode in and out of the company camp, delivering the military information of various outposts and the news sent later.
In a large tent in the center of the camp, Tong Guan was reading to Wang the news from Yanzhou that Li Liangzuo of Western Xia led an army to attack Yanzhou, and had left Yanzhou to detour and move along the southeast line.
The huge sand table was placed in the middle of the Chinese military tent, and Wang walked next to the sand table, and the undulating simulated plains and hills on the sand table made the people in the tent seem to have seen Li Liangzuo's every move. Yue Li stood beside the king, pointed to the coordinates on the sand table and said: "Li Liangzuo suffered a big loss in Yanzhou, and was stopped by a rain of arrows as soon as he arrived in the city, and the loss of soldiers was three or four thousand, plus the troops he transferred to Xiping Mansion, there are only about 50,000 left in the team now. Look, Lord Wang, if you move to the southeast, a large army will attack Luzhou Village. There are only 10,000 troops guarding Luzhou Village, and I'm worried that I won't be able to resist Li Liangzuo! ”
Wang sneered, and Zhi Kejun said, "Yes, Lord Wang! Now our soldiers are gearing up, eager to fight with Li Liangzuo immediately, we can't watch the battle ahead! ”
"Fold it well!" The king called.
"Here!" Zhi Keshi stood up from everyone's side.
"I order you to take a team of men and horses to Sanchuan Village, let General Zhi Kexing retreat, abandon Luzhou Village, and not have a hard encounter with Li Liangzuo."
As soon as the words of the king came out, everyone was stunned, and Zhi Keshi looked at his father Zhi Kejun, and Zhi Kejun's face showed a hint of joy, and he nodded vigorously to show support. Zhe Keshi raised his voice and replied loudly: "Yes! He turned around and walked out of the tent.
Zhi Kejun has followed Wang Bian to fight for many years, and he deeply understands that every time Wang Bian gives an order, he will go through some careful consideration. The two armies were sent in front of the formation, but this was the king's fancy to cultivate this child well.
And everyone's momentary surprise, in addition to the fact that Wang Bian would suddenly send this child-like child next to him to report the news, it was also strange how Wang Bian would suddenly give up Luzhou Village. Most of the people present still obeyed the order, but Tong Guan frowned, tilted his head to look at the king, and then looked at the sand table in front of him. "Dad, Luzhou Village is surrounded by hills and mountains, which should be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but on the contrary, it is most of the plains of these three Sichuan villages. How did you decide to give up Luzhouzhai? No matter how you say it, you have to fight with Li Liangzuo! ”
Yue Li looked at Tong Guan with interest, he really liked this young man all the way, but in front of him was in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the military order was like a mountain, not to mention that everyone believed that Wang Bian's judgment would not be wrong, but this kid really dared to speak, no wonder this was Wang Bian's righteous son, and he really looked like Wang Bian when he was young.
Wang Bian also felt that Tong Guan was interesting, he didn't dare to say that he was a man of his word for so many years, but at least no one dared to refute any decision he made, and after a long time, he inevitably felt bored, the prestige of the two armies in front of the battle was one thing, and it was another thing to encourage the cultivation of talents. He looked at Tong Guan and said with a smile: "That's a good question!" I'll leave you with this question, and you think about why I did it? ”
Tong Guan scratched his head, he didn't understand before he asked, why did his father let himself think. He looked at Yue Li for help, and Yue Li smiled silently. Looking at Zhang Ping, Zhi Kejun and other generals around him, everyone avoided his gaze and didn't give themselves any hints. When he looked at Wang Bian again, Wang Bian was still smiling and looking at himself waiting for an answer.
"Dad must have a reason for doing this!" Tong Guan muttered quietly, carefully looking at the terrain coordinates on the sand table.
"Report~" A guard walked into the battle: "Lord Wang, the Holy Lord sent someone to send an edict, please take a look!" ”
"Bring it!" The king said a word, turned around and sat back behind the handsome case of the Chinese military tent. Yue Li sat down on the round stool beside him, watched as Wang took the letter and opened it to look at it carefully. Seeing that the king put the letter on the table, the expression on his face could not tell whether it was joy or sorrow.
"Alas!" He sighed softly.
"Lord Wang, what's the matter?" Yue Li asked.
"Life has been in a hurry for decades, but it is a pity that Cai Junmo can still display his ambitions, so he travels west. Now the third envoy is the director of Han Jiang, and the saint has summoned his father again, and he agrees with his father's heart of reform and disadvantages. ”
Yue Li said approvingly: "The Holy One has worked hard, it is indeed praiseworthy!" It's no wonder that the prince is so entangled, you were in Baozhou when Renzong died, do you remember? At that time, Prime Minister Bao Cheng then followed. Yingzong died, and there were loyal ministers to follow, this is the destiny of heaven! ”
"Destiny? The doctrine of destiny is to fool the common people. The father-in-law was loyal and courageous, Cai Junmo was seriously ill and still worked on state affairs, remembering that when we were leaving, Brother Jun Mo dragged his sick body to stay up all night for the sake of Song debts, and ran back and forth. How can I not feel guilty in my heart! ”
Yue Li was very moved when he heard what the king said. For so many years, Wang Pan has not become sophisticated to his colleagues and friends because of officialdom. Seeing that Wang Bei's eyes were slightly red, Yue Li was also very excited. "The prince doesn't have to be too sad, the reason why Song Debt can go so smoothly is that Cai Gong has made great achievements. This battle can only be won, and only then can Cai Gong's spirit in the sky be comforted. ”
Wang looked ahead and said in a firm tone: "We must win, there are not only the merits of Cai Gong here, but also the wishes of the people." You don't see people who go to the bank to buy bonds, some just want to do their part. There is a clear monarch who wants to change, and there is the people's will to help the country. I really can't think of any reason why Da Song is not strong! ”
The people in the tent listened silently, and felt this feeling with the king. Suddenly, a voice in the tent said, "I've come up with it!" ”
