Chapter 5: The Role of the Great Courts

readx; The Great Court Meeting has now become a Great Council, because the emperor can't speak, he can only observe, he can't give opinions, he can only make the final affirmation or veto, Yun Zheng feels that this kind of court and political pattern is very similar to the parliament of later generations, of course, if there is no emperor This is an eyesore, it would be very perfect, at least Wang Anshi's impassioned debate is so powerful.

"Today's rhetoricists do not seek great talents, and those who understand the scriptures do not ask about the great purpose. The way of the teacher is abandoned, and the style of writing is poured. Although the edicts are numerous, why should they be admonished?

There is no incorruptibility, and this is the reason for this. Its source is not clear, the desire is clear, and the letter of the minister is also. The country does not want to change its work, and follows its disadvantages, the official chaos is at the top, and the wind is bad at the bottom, which is afraid that it will not be the blessing of the country.

Today's county orders are granted according to routine, and most of them are not knowledgeable people. The old ones are for the sake of their descendants, and they are determined to be budding and favor themselves; If the young and strong are ashamed of the position of the county, they will be reluctant, and they will be famous...... Looking at it from a single point of view, there is a good chance that the county government of the four directions is like this, and it is not difficult to look at the prosperity of the royal road!

Every order issued by the imperial court, although its intentions are good, the incumbent still cannot carry it out, so that the anointing is added to the people, and the officials are traitors to disturb the people.

The books are not fine, the officials are not afraid, the forced labor is uneven, the punishment is not in the middle, the people's interests are not done, the people do not go to these six thieves Fan Wenzheng Gong has long been whipped more, however, the harm of the officials has become more and more intense, and now it has become a prairie fire, if it is not controlled, my Great Song Dynasty will be burned to ashes in the flames. ”

Seeing Wang Anshi's frothing exposition, Ouyang Xiu went out and said: "What the governor said is very true, the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of ills now, but the disease comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, since you say that the Great Song Dynasty is now terminally ill, why do you still use the law to treat the disease?" ”

"City Change Law", "Equal Loss Law", "Baojia Law" which change the law is not a blind tiger and wolf medicine, "City Change Law" made the court and the people compete for profits, and private shops have closed down. The people had no food and clothing, and became bandits, and then the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, and if this continued, a strange circle had been formed, and we ourselves forced the people to rebel. If we go back and suppress it, we will simply kill all the people after they have been displaced, so that we don't have to go through any more troubles.

The Duzhi Division, the Household Division, and the Salt and Iron Division have become cannibalistic beasts, and the people are scattered and fleeing when they see it, even Yun Zheng, who is known as a big insect, can only borrow the sauce workshop to hide his appearance, and through such helpless means to keep the few shops of the Yun family from the imperial court. ”

When the courtiers heard Ouyang Xiu mention Yun Zheng, they all stared at Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, the Yun family is nothing more than opening a few more sauce gardens, and they can still live, just treat Yun Zheng as if it doesn't exist." ”

Wang Anshi didn't intend to let go of Yun Zheng, hugged Beban in his arms and said angrily: "Marquis Wenxin obstructed the imperial court for no reason and smashed the reserved shops purchased by the Salt and Iron Division in Tokyo, could it be that the dignified Marquis Wenxin didn't even care about the laws of the imperial court for his own selfishness?" ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "There is no way, the Yun family has a large population. The money given by the imperial court was not enough to support his family, so Clumsy Jing had to open a spice shop to make ends meet. If you participate in the governor's affairs, please raise your noble hand and let go of the Yun family, and enjoy the Yun family's food, Yun is grateful. ”

Wang Anshi said in a trembling voice: "Why did Wen Xinhou say this? You are a dignified secretary of the military department, a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, a bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, and a prince of Taibao. Knowing the promotion of the 15th Road in the west of Beijing, plus the title of Marquis of Wenxin, there are no less than 150,000 yuan per year, not to mention the countless rice and charcoal. Bing Jing, AttachΓ©, how many people do you can't feed? ”

Wang Anshi didn't expect that Yun Zheng wouldn't argue with himself at all, but instead put on a pitiful look and begged for food from himself to participate in political affairs, as long as he looked at the appearance of these colleagues in the hall who hated the same enemy, he knew how vicious Yun Zheng's intentions were.

Yun Zheng arched his hand without changing his face and said: "No way, the general has been in office for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with some bad problems of wealth and wealth, and the maid who specializes in cutting green onions in the kitchen at home has to pay five times a month, and the money is less, so it is really not enough to spend." ”

After saying this, Wang Anshi was stunned, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also stunned, and they all stared at Han Qi's body.

Han Qi's long beard under his chin was windless, and his old black and red face couldn't show any expression at all, even if everyone was looking at him, he was still unmoved, as if Yun Zheng was talking about his own family's maidservant.

Wang Anshi sneered: "The imperial court has never had an accurate number of acres of land in Hebei, the year before last year, the year before the great drought, pay taxes of 730,000, last year was a rare year of great harvest, but the tax was only 580,000, a year of disaster, the tax in Hebei is less than 10,000, I don't know how many small farmers in order to survive the disaster year will be worth acres and acres of land to the rich and noble.

If this continues, in less than 50 years, the Great Song Tianfu will have nothing to harvest, everyone, when you are fishing with all your might, do you just care about the head and the tail? ”

Yun Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't look at me, the Yun family has just been checked by you, and my wife sold the dowry jewelry to pay enough taxes......"

Han Qi opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zheng and said, "What do you think?" ”

Yun Zheng knew that Han Qi was a little confused at this time, people like himself who were hated all over the world were really incomprehensible, and they couldn't find out the true purpose.

Seeing that Han Qi finally couldn't help but ask, he smiled and said, "Actually, it's all idle and boring, plus nothing has gone well at home recently, so it's not pleasing to anyone." ”

Di Qing couldn't help laughing, Yun Zheng spoke like this, no one had spoken like this since Kou Zhun died.

There was a quarrel in the court and underground, and once the two laws of "City Yi Law" and "Fangtian Average Tax" were lifted, there were always endless topics.

Wearing court clothes, Zhao Zhen lying on the dragon chair seemed to be asleep, Zou Tong carefully shook the pu fan to cool off the emperor, and the crown prince Zhao Xu sat behind a low table with his chin in his hands, looking at the noisy ministers in distraction.

This kind of scene is actually the norm in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a small space behind Zhao Xu, where there is a bead curtain, and behind the bead curtain sits a dressed queen......

The sky outside was clear, the sun was shining on the earth, before noon, the ice basin in the hall had been changed twice, Yun Zheng pulled out a reed tube from his arms, took a big sip in his mouth, just finished arguing with others, and had a mouthful of cold sour plum soup to drink was really refreshing.

In fact, no one expects to get a real decision from the court, even if it is a wrong one.

After the order is issued, any order will become bullshit, and the emperor's order will be executed after a few discounts, because the emperor no longer has the energy to care about so many details.

The queen's orders can sometimes be carried out, sometimes no one pays attention to them, and whether they are carried out or not depends on whether the official in charge of execution squats in the same trench with the queen.

As for the orders of the center, they will generally be carried out, but the effect is not good, because the orders of the center often conflict with the queen's decree.

At this time, the authority of the feudal officials was the heaviest, so several forces were in full swing to compete for those feudal officials, hoping to gain their support.

After a morning of arguing, the meeting finally ended, not because of the one person who ordered it to end, but because of the sound of the bells and drums at noon.

Zou Tong and the eight eunuchs left the hall with the emperor's dragon chair on their faces, and then the prince also followed his father, and the queen dressed behind the bead curtain had long since disappeared. ...

He fanned the wind and pointed to the main hall and said, "This is how you perform the court?" ”

Yun Zheng let go of the reed pipe in his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, this is how national affairs are formulated, you haven't seen it before a foreign minister, right?" ”

Chong Yan frowned and said, "Then can you tell me what you have clarified after a morning of heated debate today, or have you given any useful orders?" ”

Di Qing and Yun Zheng glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison: "Nothing has been solved, nothing has happened." ”

He said thoughtfully: "I am the biggest in Huanzhou, if I ignore some small people such as Xu Xi and Shen Kuo, and use Huanzhou's reserve assets to build Hengshan City, what result do you think it will be?" ”

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The imperial court will be furious!" ”

He nodded and said, "What about after the fury?" ”

Di Qing smiled and looked at the kind of nonsense and said, "Still angry!" ”

"Just keep being angry?"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will continue to be angry, until we are all tired of you, and then we will change to another angry target." ”

Chong Yan nodded and arched his hand towards Yun Zheng and Di Qing: "I'll rush back to Huanzhou to build Hengshan City, and you two will help me break it down in the court." ”

Di Qing said: "The reason why we will be left in the capital, Your Majesty means to get us into endless squabbles, so that we have no energy to do other things, you can do more things outside, don't worry about the affairs of the court, in a short time, no one will pay attention to you." ”

Chong Yan smiled bitterly: "After I finish building Hengshan City, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the fate of returning to Beijing to fight the skin, the two of you can occupy a good position for me now, and then we will go to the Golden Palace of the Great Song Dynasty to fight the skin." ”

Yun Zheng just laughed, but Di Qing's face was as black as a piece of coal, and he didn't bother to say anything more, today he was dragged by Yun Zheng and Di Qingqiang to participate in a great court meeting of the Great Song Dynasty, and he immediately understood what attitude these two people had towards their construction of Hengshan City.

The West City Gate sent away the kind of people who didn't want to stay for a moment, Yun Zheng was so hot because he drank a few glasses of wine on a hot day that he just wanted to go home and take a good bath, and then sleep well in a cool place.

After taking a bath in mint water, the whole body was cool, and he wrapped a long shirt around his body and prepared to go to the flower hall to sleep, and when he found that there were many people in the flower hall, Lu Qingqing sat on the chair in a full set of command clothes, and said official words to the woman standing in the flower hall.
