This thought was just a flash, and immediately, he felt funny again, and turned his head to look at Fu Shanxiang, "What did you just say about Wang Anshi?" "Don't look at him without much culture, but his biggest advantage is that he never taboos this weakness of himself. As long as it's something you don't understand, it doesn't matter who you ask.

Fu Shanxiang smiled, "Your Highness, Wang Anshi is not a mortal. He was the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty and was also awarded the title of Duke of Jingguo. His articles are also excellently written. However, Wang Anshi's biggest fame lies in his change of law at that time. ”

"Change the law, change what law?" Yang Xiuqing looked at Fu Shanxiang and waited for her to continue.

"Well, it's a change." Fu Shanxiang nodded and looked at the people around him, "Didn't you just say that the sedan chair only became popular during the Song Dynasty?" Things are often such coincidences, during the Han and Tang dynasties, the main means of transportation for officials were horseback riding and carriages. In particular, military generals are generally on horseback. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, equestrianism was even more popular, and there were even records of playing polo in the palace. It can be seen that the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties was not accidental. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the economy had become decaying. Coupled with the unrestricted annexation of land between large households, more people have no access to land and no means of livelihood, and ordinary people are living in a difficult situation. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled faintly, "Is it strange? The prosperous history of a sedan chair has just become the history of a country's weakness! The sedan chair has reached its peak until now. But the state is getting weaker and weaker. The prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties not only brought happiness to future generations, but also led to people's excessive pursuit of comfort. Born in sorrow, and died in peace. It was precisely because Wang Anshi understood this that he carried out a series of reform measures, with the aim of enriching the country and strengthening the army, so as to reverse the situation of poverty and weakness in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi believes that in order to develop production, we must first get rid of the sufferings of the laborers, suppress mergers and facilitate the peasants, mobilize the enthusiasm of the laborers, and enable those who are idle to return to the fields. Moreover, he firmly believes that the quality of the harvest in the field depends entirely on man, not on heaven. ”

"Did it end up?" Yang Xiuqing likes to listen to stories and ask questions.

"What is it," Fu Shanxiang sighed, "If it really happens, how can there be a poorer and more humiliating Southern Song Dynasty later." There is no Yue Wumu and their last anti-gold. What is beneficial to the country and the people may not be beneficial to those scholars and wealthy tycoons, so there are too many people who oppose it. Among these people, there are vested interests led by Sima Guang, even the Divine Sect who initially agreed to the change of the law later wavered and hesitated, and those who supported him before were also betraying him. ”

"Oh," Yang Xiuqing pondered for a while, and looked at Fu Shanxiang with a smile, "Is that Sima Guang you just said the guy who would 'smash the cylinder' when he was a child?" ”

Wei Changhui smiled, "The fourth brother has a really good memory, and the story of 'Sima Guang smashing the cylinder' is about this Sima Guang." ”

"I said," Yang Xiuqing sneered disdainfully, "He can't do anything other than smash the cylinder." He just didn't meet this king, and if he met this king, and he wanted to oppose it, then this king would first stuff him in a water tank and drown him to death. I think he's still smashing? ”

The surrounding officials all laughed.

Lai Wenguang smiled and looked at Dongwang, "Actually, it's weird, everything is the same, once it becomes a deep-rooted thing in everyone's mind, if you want to change it again, it will not be easy." According to the humble position, any dynasty will no longer have the enlightenment of our Celestial Empire. The rules of heaven are not immutable, as long as it feels wrong and hinders the Celestial Empire and the people, it can be corrected immediately. On the battlefield, soldiers are brave when they are ashamed. As the Celestial Empire"

"You, scholarly child." Wei Changhui pouted and shook his head, interrupting him, "The code is the code, if it changes, where will there be the dignity of the code." However, if you want to talk about it, you have to talk about the wisdom of the fourth brother"

"Well, don't flatter me." Yang Xiuqing waved his hand, "What am I virtuous?" I think I've done a lot of wrong things. Let's just say that the lone army is on the Northern Expedition, if it weren't for King An coming, I'm afraid that Lin Fengxiang and they wouldn't be able to return it, how could there be a good shape that has broken the Jiangnan camp now. As he spoke, he looked at Fu Shanxiang and asked with a smile, "How did that sentence come about, oh, by the way, no one is perfect, who can do nothing." It is better to know that mistakes can be corrected than to bite a piece of. ”

His foul language caused another burst of laughter from the officials.

Hong Xuanjiao returned to Yang Xiuqing's side at this time, she pulled Yang Xiuqing to avoid everyone, and quietly told him what happened last night in the Tianwang Mansion.

It turned out that last night was expected by Meng Deen, and the new bride Xie was kicked in the stomach by the king of heaven and had a miscarriage. Lai Wangniang was worried that similar situations would happen from time to time in the future, so she sent someone to find Hong Xuanjiao, hoping that she, Dongwang and others could restrain the Heavenly King.

After listening to Hong Xuanjiao's narration, Yang Xiuqing hated the root of her teeth. This heavenly king, who has nothing to do all day long, just wants to live in peace, but when it comes to beating his wife, you are not afraid of labor. He looked at Hong Xuanjiao, who was anxious, and sighed helplessly, "Sister, what should we do with him now?" "He's telling the truth. If it had been in the past, he would have returned to his palace and educated this somewhat crazy figure under the pretense of being possessed by his Heavenly Father. But now, this "play" is no longer available. Without this trump card, where can the king be restrained?

"Then you have to find a way, huh?" Hong Xuanjiao said anxiously, "The second brother's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and even Lai Wangniang has almost been beaten by him several times, and others have even mentioned it." ”

Yang Xiuqing thought about it, and then looked at the carriage in the empty field behind him, it was to be changed, and if he didn't change it, he couldn't do it! Now, he really misses Lin Haifeng's guy. "Don't worry, wait for Brother Haifeng to come back." Yang Xiuqing patted Hong Xuanjiao's shoulder and smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go see those tired craftsmen first, in my opinion, nothing is so important now." ”

Hong Xiuquan seems to have forgotten yesterday's unhappiness.

At noon, in the Golden Dragon Palace, he gave a banquet to Lin Fengxiang, the commander of the Red First Army, Li Kaifang, the deputy commander, and Ji Wenyuan, the chief of staff, as well as Chen Yucheng, the commander of the teaching brigade, and Tan Shaoguang, the new deputy commander of the teaching brigade, and Tan Tiyuan, the chief of staff. At the banquet, he talked and laughed, and the topic was very relaxed. In addition to talking to these Red Army generals, and then asking about the daily situation of the troops, whether they eat well, whether they are warm in their clothes, and so on. Didn't ask anything more.

After the banquet, Hong Xiuquan let these generals go to the imperial study.

(Historically, Hong Xiuquan did beat the concubine, causing the concubine to miscarry.) In order to punish Hong Xiuquan for this kind of atrocity, Yang Xiuqing pretended to be possessed by his heavenly father and taught Hong Xiuquan a lesson. claimed that you can't kick the concubine's abdomen at will, once the concubine is pregnant, the evil consequences will hurt the good life of the heavenly father and so on. In fact, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originally set the capital of Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing's Heavenly Father possessed only a limited number of times. Another time, it was because of Hong Xiuquan's hysterical anti-hole expansion, and Yang Xiuqing used the possession of Heavenly Father to stop the movement. It can be seen that Yang Xiuqing did not do this for his own interests at that time.

Because of the affairs of the Celestial Empire, he has to take care of almost everything. Therefore, Heavenly Father's possession was actually just a means for him to restrain Hong Xiuquan later. Yang Xiuqing is a person with extraordinary action and organizational skills, and he is also a resolute and resolute strongman. He served as the head military division of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the prime minister of the military state, and there was a high degree of centralization of power unprecedented in the history of peasant uprisings, even in the history of China, where such a high degree of centralization was rare. As he himself said, the "one qiē people, etc., without exception, have their own assigned positions and responsibilities, and all the movements follow the track and follow the rules, just like the mechanism of a clock." This qiē is precisely dependent on his heavenly Father's possession. It was only after such authority was established that the forces of the spontaneous and loose peasants could be united, decentralism and indiscipline could be abolished, and all efforts could be used to overthrow the landlord class. It was only after such an authority was established that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to consolidate its rock-solid power in the early stage.

"There is nothing as poor as the king of the east, and there is no misery like the king of the east. Growing up in the mountains, he lost his slump at the age of five, lost his confidence at the age of nine, and was lonely and embarrassed. It shows that the Father will entrust the king of the east to assist Allah, and he will first suffer his mind, strain his bones, and starve his body. It is the poverty of the heavens and the misfortune of our eastern king, and the reason why Zhengtian has become our eastern king. This description of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's own Dongwang is enough to show how Yang Xiuqing, who has lost the love of his parents since he was a child and suffers a great hatred, should have done his best for the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It also explains why he cares so carefully about the lower-level soldiers and civilians. Let's imagine, if it weren't for Yang Xiuqing's behavior, whether you say it is wisdom or not, whether he is opportunistic and seeking to centralize power, it would be difficult to imagine the temporary prosperity of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.

As for the future, it may be an inevitability. It's like talking about the "Tianjing Incident", what is the truth? What I see now is more just speculation. The little woman is more inclined that someone took the opportunity to provoke, or even in the name of Hong Xiuquan, to eradicate dissidents. His centralization of power, while making the Celestial Empire develop, will also bury more enemies for himself. Isn't it strange? Until the so-called Yang Xiuqing borrowed the possession of his heavenly father to force Hong Xiuquan to seal him long live, Yang Xiuqing did not come up with the idea of asking Hong Xiuquan to give way and become the king of heaven himself. He's that stupid? No, in his heart, Hong Xiuquan will always be the king of heaven! Otherwise, if he really wanted to take extreme actions, Hong Xiuquan would not be his opponent. The garrisons near Tianjing were all his descendants. Didn't Wei Changhui's rebellion happen to confirm this? History has already told everyone that without Yang Xiuqing's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, no matter how prosperous it is, it is only an appearance. If Hong Xiuquan cannot be restrained, the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be inevitable. Because Hong Xiuquan is definitely not a mentally normal person.

But, at least in 1853, it was a society with unusually clear skies. ）
