Chapter 59 Mischief
readx; Wang Anshi was almost desperate, and without the support of the emperor, the team he had finally organized was scattered in an instant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, from Wang Anshi's reform to the present, Yun Zheng is very clear, at the beginning of Wang Anshi's reform, he even gave him a money village method when he and Wang Anshi were hiding from the rain in the haystack, and successfully turned the green seedling method into a money village, thus laying the glorious first blow of Wang Anshi's change.
As a descendant, when studying history, Wang Anshi's change of law is a must for every history exam, so he is full of curiosity about Wang Anshi himself, and now he has the opportunity to watch Wang Anshi toss around him with his own eyes, and he has to watch this drama from beginning to end no matter what.
For this reason, when Wang Anshi found fault with the Yun family, Yun Zheng chose to retreat, to check the Yun family's acres, whatever, to deal with a commercial oligarchy like the Yun family, whatever, I will toss with you, the Yun family doesn't care about that slight loss.
He really wanted to see how Wang Anshi did something really big in this selfish and ignorant court.
Now, it's almost the end, and there is a reason not to continue watching the play.
The real reason why Wang Anshi was abandoned by the emperor was that he implemented the exemption law that harmed the interests of the imperial family, descendants and powerful people.
Before Wang Anshi's reform, all the purchases of the palace and the magnates, especially in Kaifeng City, were not free of money, and the trading houses had to unconditionally provide the goods they needed for the government and the magnates. Not only that, but the government and the elite also wantonly extorted these trading houses into providing goods far more than they needed to procure.
If it is not satisfactory, it will be punished by power. For example, Peng Du, the deputy envoy of the third division, was punished for the bad boot leather he bought, and 20 pedestrians with leather boots were punished. The comptoir suffered heavy losses due to lawsuits, and many small traders lost their jobs as a result.
In April, Xu Zhongzheng, a meat dealer in Kaifeng, and others requested that meat no longer be supplied to the government and the powerful, in imitation of the law on exempt money from military service. Pay the exemption fee.
The emperor's edict ordered the city to be easy and the Kaifeng Prefecture Division to determine the interests of the line in detail.
In August, the city of Yiwu formulated the "exemption from the line" in Kaifeng commercial bank. Each bank pays the exempt money according to the amount of profit received, and exempts the bank from the supply of the government. In other words, after paying the tax exemption, the merchants no longer supply any goods to the government and the powerful for free, and the government will go to the grocery stores and miscellaneous shopping even if the government prohibits the sale and purchase of goods. The price is assessed by the Municipal Department of Trade.
This is a hornet's nest, the reason why the Yun family is liked by the neighbors is largely because the Yun family never buys and sells, as long as they take things, they give people money, Yun Zheng feels that this is a natural thing.
However, the royal family, the descendants, and the rest of the nobles did not see it that way, and the exemption of money added a batch of income to the imperial court, which was also more beneficial to the merchants;
The object of the blow. It is a lawsuit that arbitrarily extorts and profits from it, as well as the royal family, descendants and eunuchs left and right in the ban. The exemption from money was implemented, and these groups of people rebelled.
Wang Anshiqian should not have exposed the fact that Empress Cao's family did not pay for other people's trees on credit at this time, but was sued by the ministers with fake names, and told the emperor lying on the bed as an example.
also said in front of Zou Tong: The scholar was dissatisfied with the political affairs of the imperial court and colluded with the eunuchs who were close to Xi. Your Majesty only looks at how many officials in the court do not avoid eunuchs, and you will know the harm of eunuchs.
That's it. Zou Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, forgetting even the duty of translating words for the emperor.
Thereupon. The people who were not opposed to the change of the law saw that Wang Anshi did not give everyone any way to go, and they also began to strongly oppose the change, such as Zou Tong, whose younger generation did not do the kind of thing that half a foot of red silk and a silk tie to the bull's head, how could they not be frightened?
Then there was the humiliation of King Anshi of Xuandemen.
Mid-Autumn Night. Wang Anshi was invited to the palace to watch the lanterns according to the custom, and the place was the Xuande Gate, the main gate of the palace.
After Wang Anshi's carriage entered the Xuande Gate, he didn't want this seemingly ordinary act to cause trouble. Du Heng, the eunuch on duty here, first shouted at him to stop, and then signaled the guards to step forward and grab the groom who was leading the horse for Wang Anshi. At the same time, hit Wang Anshi's carriage.
The groom scolded: "Blind dog's eyes, this is the carriage of the prince!" Zhang Mao scolded: "The prime minister is also a minister, do you want to be a reckless Wang Mang?" ”
When a dynasty Zaifu was so insulted by his subordinates, Wang Anshi was naturally very angry, and immediately found the emperor to comment: "Your Majesty, getting off the horse in the door is not a precedent set by my Wang. ”
This reminder also made sense to the emperor: "Yes, when I was a prince, my status was below the prime minister, didn't I also dismount inside the door?" Why is this the case today? ”
Unexpectedly, Wen Yanbo, who had always been at odds with Wang Anshi and had just returned to Tokyo from Qingtang, coldly threw out a sinister sentence: "The old minister has always only dismounted outside the door. "The implication is that this is a rule that a courtier should understand, is it that you are the prime minister of the king?
In order to calm the anger of the public, the emperor handled it impartially and transferred the case to Kaifeng Mansion for trial. Taking over the Xuandemen case were Kaifeng Prefecture judge Liang Yanming and official Chen Chen.
These two were all people who were pulled out by Wang Anshi Jian to facilitate the implementation of the law change and stuffed into Kaifeng Mansion, and they naturally did not hesitate to sentence the guards to cane punishment and beat the two bold fanatics.
At this point, it could have come to an end. But Wang Anshi felt that this was not accidental, otherwise how could a little doorman be so bold? Therefore, it is strongly requested that the emperor thoroughly investigate the behind-the-scenes instructions, and his impartial temperament is vividly revealed.
The Xuandemen case thus sparked heated discussions among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and many officials also unceremoniously accused Wang Anshi of not being right, and Yushi Cai did publicly stand up to defend the wronged guards: "The duty of the guards is to defend the emperor, Wang Anshi does not dismount according to the rules, and the guards should stop him." And the two judges of Kaifeng Mansion bent the law, and they knew that the high-ranking officials snorted, not only did not enforce the law impartially, but instead slapped the guards hard, from now on, who would dare to be loyal to their duties? ”
The matter became bigger and bigger, and at this time, Wang Anshi found that none of the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty had said a word for him, even Zeng Gongliang, who had always been anxious for justice and righteousness, lowered his eyebrows, and Yun Zheng looked at himself curiously, with malice on his face!
The lonely Wang Anshi took sick leave, and his son Wang Yan died of illness, which made him completely exhausted, and he resigned after three concerts, but the emperor still agreed after the ineffective retention......
However, people from the outside world did not intend to let him go, they wanted to completely overthrow Wang Anshi's methods and let the Great Song Dynasty return to its previous state.
This is something that Wang Anshi could not tolerate, so Wang Anshi, who was full of grief and indignation, carried the white flag, sat outside the gate of the Fan Tower, and asked the people of Tokyo for help, hoping that even if his change could not get the support of some nobles, at least, the people who benefited should say two words of justice for themselves......
Yun Zheng looked at Wang Anshi outside the Fan Tower, sighed and lowered his head......
At this time, Wang Anshi was miserable......
His head was covered with rotten vegetable leaves and broken eggs, the yolk hung on his long face with indescribable funny, his robe was covered with black dog blood, and a pair of black soap boots were stepped on in the dung water, but the whole person was still standing proudly, looking at the Xungui on the Fan Tower with his head held high and roaring: "God knows what my Wang Anshi has done, and God knows that my Wang Anshi has a clear conscience!" Cang Tian knows even more that only by continuing to change the law in this world can there be true fairness! ”
Hou Tanzhi, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, leaned on the railing and laughed loudly: "You are no longer a father, and the old man doesn't need to be polite to you, you want the hearts of the people, and you have also won the hearts of the people, and you are still satisfied?" ”
Wang Anshi turned his head to look at the people who were constantly coaxing and said bitterly: "The people are ignorant, they need to be guided......
Hou Tanzhi, you have to sit as a high-ranking official, you have to ride a horse, you enjoy the fat and fat of the people, but you are doing the things of the fish and the people, as a saint, don't you feel ashamed? ”
Hou Tanzhi laughed and said: "Your subordinate Deng Juan said a sentence that the old man felt very likely, that is, "Laugh and scold you, and I must do what a good official does." ”
Wang Anshi's face changed several times, he opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of black blood, and laughed: "Happy, happy, the depression that has been spent for many days has disappeared in one day, it seems that God does not allow me Wang Anshi to die early, and you are waiting for the old man to resurge!" ”
After suffering such a serious humiliation, Wang Anshi actually left Fan Lou with a big laugh, took the white flag from the hands of his family, and left Fan Lou with a meteor on his shoulder.
Hou Tanzhi was furious, stood up and climbed on the railing, and all kinds of foul words gushed out from the mouth of this third-rank official of the dynasty.
Yun Zheng smiled and said to Pang Ji, who was sitting opposite: "It's really a good show, I always feel that I am not happy enough when I see too little blood, please allow me to add fuel to the fire?" ”
Pang Ji's cheeks twitched a few times and said, "Don't overdo it!" ”
Yun Zheng saw that Pang Ji agreed, so he stood up with a smile, walked behind Hou Tanzhi, and kicked Hou Tanzhi on the back buttocks.
Because it was an angry shot, the force of this kick was inevitably greater, and Hou Tan's hand flipped out from the second floor of Fan Lou with a dance, and smashed heavily on the place where Wang Anshi had just stood.
Pang Ji saw that Yun Zheng returned to his seat, looked at the people who were sitting in the box and said in a deep voice: "The Northern Expedition is the top priority, the rest is just the end, as long as the Northern Expedition wins, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely climb to another glory, it is not difficult to shine for a thousand years, everyone, we should work together to build a great cause, and when the Northern Expedition wins, it is the time for us to leave our names in the annals of history!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Obey the order!" ”
Yun Zheng got up and said with a smile: "On the fifth day of the first month of October, it is the day of Yun's worship, please go to watch the ceremony!" ”
Pang Ji said with a smile: "This is the proper righteousness, the old man and the others must go!" (To be continued.) )
