Chapter 155: Admitting Mistakes

A palace crisis dissipated in this way, but there was no pride in the bloody battle and thrilling battles, but there seemed to be an invisible force that made the king's side so light. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Zhao Ji kept saying that Wang Bian would not have the heart to seize power, this idea also stemmed from the events that have continued to occur in the past few decades, and now he is not even clear whether he trusts Wang Bian or almost worships Wang Bian.

Wang Pan himself didn't know whether Zhao Ji's trust was right, because he really looked down on power. But there is a sentence that comes to mind in the king's ear, that is, what Bao Zheng said back then, sometimes only if you have the right, you can use these to do what you want.

"Brother Wang? What are you thinking? Zhao Ji's question brought Wang Bianchong back from his deep thought.

"I'm thinking that now that this matter is settled, and you're in good health, it's time for me to go!"

"Where are you going?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, did Wang Bei want to travel through time and space like Song Taizu?

"Hehe, Your Majesty, your memory is really bad, I'm going to Yunzhou!"

"You can't go!" Zhao Ji thought for a moment, and then said.

"Why?"

"Brother Wang, you are waiting, when my body is completely recovered, we can do it again, there are many new policies that I refuse to give up, and with you, I will have support and motivation." Zhao Ji said, looking at Wang with expectant eyes.

The king who said this was also moved in his heart, yes, the new deal! That was my father's wish, and although he was repeatedly frustrated, it cannot be said that the New Deal was bad. If the economic system of the Song Dynasty is completely reformed at the same time as the federation, then the Song Dynasty can maintain its core position in the Central Plains in the future.

Seeing that the king didn't speak, Zhao Ji knew that the king was in his heart, so he added weight and said: "Brother Wang, what conditions do you say, whether to reformulate the regulations of the three divisions, or to make changes to the officials of the imperial court, whether to be soldiers or power, as long as you can say it, I will do it all." ”

"Are you really willing to listen to me for anything?" Wang looked at Zhao Ji in disbelief, why there was something pleading in his tone.

Zhao Ji nodded sincerely: "After so many years, I also know that there are more and more paralysis in the imperial court. In order to innovate or not, the officials in the court always tilt each other back and forth; The people are full of complaints, and this official knows it. Although Baojia rebelled only after being bewitched, the common people have a saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs. There was an uprising, and that was when the people were dissatisfied with the status quo. In the past, I have had many times and was not resolute in my determination to innovate, which led to today's situation. But I understand now, Brother Wang, you are not a person from the strange world as my father said, maybe you are a person who travels through, and you come to save my Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

The king smiled: "Your Majesty, you think too much!" ”

"I didn't think much about it, did you say you!"

"Yes, how's it going?" Wang looked at Zhao Ji helplessly.

"Then you take me away, let's travel to the Qin and Han dynasties, to the Wei and Jin dynasties, in that case, we will know what will happen there when we get there, will it be more fun than now?"

"Puff puff!" The king's retinue couldn't hold back any longer, and finally laughed with their heads down.

"You, what are you laughing at, raise your head to the official!" Zhao Ji looked at his entourage and asked.

Shi Qian raised his face and looked at Zhao Ji with a flushed face.

"Hahaha, who did I say, it turned out to be a little turtle who stole the tribute." Zhao Ji remembered that he had seen Shi Qian when he was in Jiangning, so he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have a name and a surname, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed the time of the flea on the drum."

"Then tell me, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing happily, the emperor is the best emperor I've ever seen, from ancient times to the present, which emperor can review it himself? What the emperor said just now, not to mention that the prince was listening, even I, the grass people, were warm in my heart when I heard it. ”

Zhao Ji, who praised a few words, showed a smug smile. Shi Qian continued: "But I heard that the emperor was going to the Qin and Han dynasties and the Wei and Jin dynasties, so I wanted to laugh." You are a god from heaven, no matter how great your ability is, you can be the emperor at most, but you are now an emperor, is it possible that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will not be the ancients? ”

Zhao Ji tilted his head and thought about it, and then laughed cheerfully: "Yes, yes, yes!" What you said makes sense, you are worthy of being the people around the prince, and you have one more layer of thinking about things than others! ”

Shi Qian looked at the king flatteringly: "Lord Wang, I didn't embarrass you, did I?!" ”

"You kid can talk!" Wang Kuan Shi Qian turned his head to Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty, since you are so resolute, I am willing to help the emperor fulfill his wish, and it can be regarded as me doing something to the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty." However, my words alone are not enough to support, I want the emperor to convene important ministers, analyze the reasons for the failure of the previous innovation, summarize the lessons and then improve the implementation of the new policy, I don't know what the emperor wants? This time, Wang Bi had already thought about it, although he had told his father before that the matter of the new deal should not be rushed, but he was still a little anxious to achieve quick success without himself in Wang Anshi. This kind of rush for quick success has caused a lot of contradictions and disagreements in the court, and more objectively speaking, Wang was not present during the ten years of Xining's reform, and he was not as thorough as Su Shi, Cai Jing and others in more situations. Rather than their own words, it is better for everyone to sit down and brainstorm, including those ministers who oppose the new law, which may not necessarily be-for-tat, but the opinions put forward must be amendments and promotions of the new law.

With such a pertinent request, what reason does Zhao Ji have to refuse.

Leaving the palace, the king deliberately let the horse walk slowly, and he pondered on the horse what had happened in the palace and what he had said. Shi Qian followed the king, and when he saw that the king was not in a hurry to return home, he asked, "Lord Wang, do you really plan to stay in the capital?" ”

"Why not?"

"However, the princess and they have all arrived in Yunzhou, aren't you separated from your family when you stay in the capital?!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that I'm worried about separating from my family, but you can't see your second girl in your family, right?!"

"Lord Wang, you said it again, it's not fun!"

"Just know how to play!"

"Lord Wang, this is not your way back to our house, where are you going?"

"Go see Sima Guang!" Wang Bi suddenly figured it out, he urged the horse, and walked towards Sima Guang's mansion a little faster.

Unlike other ministers, Sima Guang's mansion was relatively remote in the capital, and there were no well-guarded guards in front of the mansion. Wang Bi and Shi Qian got off their horses, Shi Qian stepped forward to call the door, and an old man opened the courtyard door and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

Although Wang Bian knew that Sima Guang had always been frugal, Shi Qian didn't seem to believe that the mansion of the dignified prime minister was not as good as a four- or five-grade official. He poked his head inside and asked, "This is Prime Minister Sima's Mansion?" ”

"Exactly, who are you?"

"Our lord, I want to see Prime Minister Sima!" The time shifted in the direction of the king.

"This ......" Lao Ding hesitated, how could the prince suddenly visit.

Seeing this, Wang Bi stepped forward and said, "I am Wang Bi, the king of Zhennan, and I came to visit Prime Minister Sima, please let me know." ”

"Wait a minute!" Lao Ding said and closed the courtyards.

"Lord Wang, this prime minister's mansion is shabby enough, are you polite to this Ding?!"

"Yes, you haven't seen this old man so old? It should have been with the Sima family for many years. You'll just be outside watching the horses and waiting for me. ”

Soon Lao Ding came out again: "Which one is the king of Zhennan, Sima Xianggong is invited!" ”

Shi Qian pursed his lips, thinking that this prime minister's frame was quite big, and he didn't greet him personally when he heard that our prince was coming. Wang Fang followed his old family Ding into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion only had two courtyards, and some vegetables were planted on both sides of the bluestone road. Sima Guang didn't go out to greet him, until the old man Ding brought the king to the main hall, Sima Guang got up from the seat and saluted on the spot: "The prince has arrived, there is a disappointment, forgive the sin!" ”

Wang didn't mind, and sat down with a smile after returning the salute: "I didn't expect Prime Minister Sima to be quite interesting, I think the vegetables in the courtyard are good, but Mr. Sima takes care of it himself?" ”

"Exactly, if the prince likes it, I'll ask my family to bring some to the prince when I leave."

Wang Bin smiled, and ran to get the green vegetables. "Then I'll thank Mr. Sima, this is green and pollution-free, you must take it!"

Sima Guang smiled and then asked, "I don't know what happened to the prince's sudden visit?" Although Sima Guang's expression looked very kind, he was very wary in his heart at the moment.

"I'm here to thank Mr. Sima!"

"Thank me?" Sima Guang was a little baffled.

"Yes! When my father was leaving, I was able to meet Mr. Sima and talk with him, and I heard my father mention Mr. Sima and say: The new law established by Wang Anshi and others can surpass the old one! These words came out of Mr. Sima's mouth, but they were a great affirmation of my father! ”

"Humph! The prince praised it falsely, may I ask if the prince came today to persuade me about the new law? Sima Guang asked more vigilantly.

"Mr. Sima, you are too worried. At that time, Mr. Sima would rather resign than do it, and did not agree with the implementation of the new law, how dare I persuade Mr. Sima to support the new law? Wang Bi shook his head and smiled.

"Then, the prince is here?!"

"That's the case, presumably Mr. Sima didn't go to the palace today, and he hasn't heard about King Wu Rong leading troops to break into the palace, right?"

"Huh?! Is there such a thing? Sima Guang suddenly stood up from his chair: "Is the emperor okay?" ”

"Don't sit down and hear about me first, this matter has been settled, and the emperor has decreed that King Wu Rong will guard the imperial mausoleum, and there is finally no cannibalism."

Sima Guang looked at the king hesitantly: "Lord Wang, this matter will not be settled by the prince." ”

The king waved his hand: "This is nothing ......"

"It's nothing to save such a big feat, I really don't know if the prince is modest or pretending to be ......" Sima Guang muttered in a low voice, in terms of knowledge, Sima Guang thought that he was much better than Wang Bin, but in terms of merit, he was ashamed of it.

"Hahaha, it's not that I'm modest, I'm here to tell Mr. Sima because King Wu Rong is using the people who support the new law to reform their hearts to recruit a group of people who support him. I think this thing is very bad! ”

Sima Guang raised his hands and feet in admiration, and he immediately said: "That's right, the prince has seen it thoroughly, and this is where the old man is embarrassed." ”

"Yes, so I also reflect that the new law and the old law are not important, the important thing is that those are more beneficial to the imperial court, and those that can make the country rich and the people strong. In recent years, everyone has been a little arrogant and desperately trying to compete for superiority in the old and the new, but they have neglected the legal system itself. ”

Sima Guang's attitude was really surprising, if it weren't for such a pertinent tone and sharp analysis, Sima Guang might not have realized the reasons and consequences of such a great hostility in the court. And the words of the king also seemed to hit Sima Guang's heart heavily, and he ignored the essence of the matter, aren't the officials in the court taking this road now.

But Sima Guang is not like the relationship between Zhao Ji and Wang Bei, Zhao Ji can admit his mistakes in front of Wang Bei, but Sima Guang will not. What's more, in his heart, although the king is the prince, he is a junior. He said with a very serious expression: "Since the prince has seen this, what are his plans?" ”
