Chapter 156: Cure the Root Cause

Sima Guang's heart was hard, and Wang was very indifferent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Today in the palace, I can't imagine that the emperor has been self-disciplined and self-reproachful for more than ten years, so this king also thinks that since the emperor can reflect, why can't we be courtiers?"

"The emperor reflects? What did the emperor say? Sima Guang was also surprised when he heard it, the emperor admitted that it was a big deal, did he want to overthrow the old system and implement the new policy?

I don't know when, it got dark, and the old man went into the house to light the candlestick. Sima Guang looked at the room that was still dim: "There are guests here, let's light up more!" ”

"Yes! Sima Xianggong, this dinner? The old man glanced at the king.

"I'm afraid that the prince won't be used to eating the coarse tea and light rice in the house, so I don't need to prepare dinner, I'll invite the prince out!" Sima Guang's attitude inadvertently changed.

"No, we can't get used to eating any coarse tea and light rice, if Mr. Sima doesn't think I'm bothering, then I'll stay!" The king said generously.

The old man Ding looked at Sima Guang with an inquiring gaze, and Sima Guang said, "Go get it!" ”

It didn't take long, and the dinner of the Prime Minister's Mansion was placed on the table, with two dishes and one soup, although there were meat and vegetarian dishes, but for the current identity of Sima Guang, it was quite simple. Wang was also polite, chatting with Sima Guang while eating, and suddenly the two seemed to have more harmony and tacit understanding. Wang will tell the conversation with Zhao Ji in the dormitory, and this dinner will also be eaten.

"Then what is the prince's plan?" When Sima Guang asked again this time, his tone was much soothed.

"I have discussed with the emperor to invite everyone to the palace on a certain day, you have more experience in governing than me, you have more problems than me, and you have more solutions than me. Everyone talks about what they have seen over the years, I also know that Mr. Sima has a Luoyang Senior Citizens Association, Mr. Sima has not forgotten political affairs over the years, and he has personally experienced the various situations of the people, and I hope that Mr. Sima will give him more advice when the time comes! ”

Has the world changed? When did Wang Bean become so modest? When Wang changed like this, Sima Guang felt uncomfortable. "The prince doesn't have to be polite, and the new law may not be unsatisfactory everywhere, and I have also seen the people's support for the new law. Although I also have something I can't figure out, but the prince is right, you can't be righteous when you are in power! ”

Wang Fang snickered in his heart, he knew that Sima Guang was a smooth donkey, and his father didn't have to have so many entanglements with him over the years. "Mr. Sima is right, our ministers must lead by example, otherwise the officialdom will not fight, it will all be for the sake of factional disputes, who really thinks about the dynasty."

Mmmm, Sima Guang nodded vigorously as he listened.

After eating and chatting for a while, Wang next got up to say goodbye, and Sima Guang sent it all the way to the gate of the house, which was too different from when Wang next to the door entered. How many years of knots have been resolved so smoothly, Wang Bi walked happily to the tree where the horse was tethered, and saw Shi Qianzheng looking at himself listlessly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Hungry! Lord Wang," Shi Qian said with a roll of his eyes.

Thinking that he actually stayed in Sima Guang's mansion, and ate coarse tea and light rice very well, he forgot that Shi Qian had not eaten yet, Wang Bian smiled and said, "Hahaha, go, I invite you to eat well!" ”

The two of them came to Qingfeng Building, and the shopkeeper Cui Xi hurriedly took the two to the good room, and someone sent them wine and food to accompany the king to drink and talk in the room. It seems that Shi Qian is really hungry, and for a while, he ate most of the dishes in front of him.

"Haha, Lord Wang, you still have to be hungry for this kid in the future, otherwise he will only take care of the young lady when he comes."

Shi Qian had already eaten almost, wiped the greasy side of his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper Cui made fun of me again, you look at it every day, it's not a matter of being close to the water?" ”

"Me?" Cui Xi shook his head: "I'm not interested in this, otherwise how would the prince and Old Man Lin give me this peace of mind?" ”

"That's right, I said shopkeeper Cui, you, as the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building, want money, money, and a house, why don't you marry a wife and take a concubine?"

Shi Qian asked Cui Xi about the sore spot in a word, and he blushed and said, "I, not rare!" ”

Wang glanced at Shi Qian, Cui Xi must have a reason for this, Shi Qian disagreed: "I see that you must be sick, do you know that this disease has to be cured?" Besides, you know everything here, is there a secret? Lord, you just let Cui Xi check why he is not a woman? ”

"Go! Don't mess around! The king stopped.

"I'm not messing around, shopkeeper Cui, tell you to laugh at me all the time, you talk about it?!" Shi Qian was full of food, and asked reluctantly.

"Hey, I'm still afraid of you, I'm in front of the prince, and I won't hide anything. Just say, what's wrong with my illness? Cui Xi said with a glare.

"I'll just say, look, I have stubble, this Cui Xi doesn't even have a beard, I don't know if I think you came out of the palace!"

Cui Xi's face turned even redder: "You have been proud for a few days, and I will be cured in a few days, don't you say that I am still embarrassed to talk to the prince." He turned to the king and said, "Lord, there is a little lady Zhang in the capital, who specializes in treating people with knives, and she also passed on her medical skills to his father-in-law. I would like to take two days off work with you. ”

Cure with a knife, little lady Zhang? Isn't this a famous female surgeon in the Song Dynasty? "With this good thing, what kind of leave do you sue me for your business?! But I'm really curious, what kind of disease do you have? ”

"Hidden Egg Disease! Shhh, lord, this matter can't be spread outside! ”

Shi Qian suddenly laughed, and he was right by him again, and Wang Bei's heart suddenly lit up: "Great! ”

"Lord Wang, why are you like this, I am sick and say that it is too good?!"

"Haha, no, I mean you're doing a great job, but can you invite the couple to the palace? I'm just about to use your disease! ”

"What do you mean by that?!" Cui Xi asked puzzled.

"You do this king a favor, let's do this......" Wang whispered a few words in Cui Xi's ear, and Cui Xi nodded vigorously.

In the palace of Qinzheng Palace, more than a dozen ministers sat around a large table, Zhao Ji sat in the main seat, and Wang and Sima Guang sat on both sides of Zhao Ji. Sima Guang first spoke, and made profound criticism and self-criticism, such as his attitude towards the new law was too presumptuous, and after he finished speaking, many ministers were stunned. Then the king spoke, also blaming himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a courtier, and in addition to repudiating the old law on the issue of the new law.

Everyone was at a loss, what kind of court discussion is this? Originally, this was not considered a court discussion in the court.

Zhao Ji asked everyone to suppress his words, and summarized the mistakes he had turned over, and the repetition of the old and new laws. The emperor is like this, everyone can't turn for a while, and many people feel that they have short-circuited.

The topic that has been concluded has become everyone's self-summary and self-criticism, and it seems that whoever says that the more ruthless he is, the more tangled his expression is, and the more guilty his words are, the more he can show his intimacy with the emperor. Wang said: "Today, the emperor summoned everyone to discuss the issue of ruling for so many years, and asked everyone to give their opinions and suggestions. For the past problems, let's not dwell on them, but we must find a solution to the problem. ”

"What the prince said is right, I, Su, believe that only when the law adapts to the present and the people is it a great good. Both old and new have something to offer. ”

"What Master Su said is right!"

"Yes, it's still Bachelor Su who is knowledgeable!" Someone chimed in.

Wang saw that Cai Jing had not spoken, so he asked, "Yuan Chang, everyone is reflecting, what do you have to say?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Actually, I am a supporter of the new law, but I know that those who support the new law may not all implement it, but just use the new law as a way to be promoted." If the imperial court treats everyone equally, no matter the new law or the old law, everyone will discuss and do it, and no one will take advantage of this loophole. Also, I think there will be people who will benefit from both the old and the new laws. However, some people are for the benefit of the people, and some people are using the law to corrupt people, and I have made very serious mistakes on this issue, so I have left people with a handle to use them in the end. ”

At this time, Cai did not dare to raise his head, he knew that what Cai Jing was referring to was King Wu Rong.

"Yuan Chang, your official family already knows, since you have such a good attitude and are willing to admit your mistakes and correct them, the official family is not to blame for the past. But you're right, the reason why there is such a big problem in the implementation of the new law is that the new law itself needs to be amended, and it is because it touches the interests of some people. Therefore, the officials decided that in the future, the main responsibility of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to thoroughly investigate corruption, and first eradicate corruption at the root, so that you can consider the construction of the legal system itself and truly do things that benefit the country and the people. ”

"Bang Bang!" Driven by the king, a thunderous applause broke out in the vertical arch hall, and Zhao Ji said so magnanimously that even the king praised him.

It's so rare that everyone finally reached a consensus on some issues, which made Zhao Ji feel full of confidence. Sima Guang was even more tearful: "The emperor is sage! ”

Although this is self-evident for the sake of their own interests, when this matter is really put on the table, some interests have become insignificant, and no one dares to look at policies subjectively only for the sake of interests.

The meeting re-established the Department of Deepening Development and Reform, the director of this department, You Sima Guang, Cai Jing as the director, both the original reformists and conservatives, but all the work to be done is to correct the shortcomings of the new law, so that the new law can be better implemented.

Both reformists and conservatives have finally calmed down and re-analyzed the situation for the sake of a common goal, and jointly implemented it. Of course, in this process, a few corrupt officials will definitely be found, a few evil officials who deceived their superiors and subordinates and did not act, and some imperial relatives who have a corrupt background to rely on. Zhao Ji made up his mind to grasp a group of solutions and solve a group, and soon the atmosphere of the imperial court was correct, and when the ministers met to discuss the resolution, they no longer divided into factions but really considered the detailed rules and measures in the implementation.

In the next period of time, the Song Dynasty really underwent earth-shaking changes, and these changes were all visible to Zhao Ji and Wang. It can be said that Zhao Ji spent the next few months in a tense and busy life, and he himself felt that he had never been able to do things so freely. This is a later story, just saying that the meeting was dispersed on this day, and everyone left Zhao Ji left the king beside him, and asked mysteriously: "Lord Wang, is Tong Guan's illness cured?" ”

"Got a miracle doctor and cured it?"

"It's even more divine than Brother Wang?"

"Of course, people have cured Tong Guan's hidden egg disease!" Wang Bei smiled secretly, in fact, it was his own bag adjustment plan, Zhang Xiaoniang's husband was cured by Cui Xi, but he could use this reason to remove the reputation of eunuch for Tong Guan.

"Oh! That's not good, I'll transfer Tong Guan out of the Inner Servant Mansion when I turn around. ”

"This is a must, no one is a eunuch anymore, and the emperor will not be re-sealed!"

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely seal this, but I have to check if there are any other eunuchs in the palace who have similar diseases and go to treat them......"

Hehe, it's too late to find out. The king wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
