Reasonable!

But not much.

Others may believe it, but Lao Zhu will definitely not believe it.

The people under him don't eat dry rice, and Zheng Xiong's whereabouts have always been well known.

If you ask who is most familiar with Zheng Xiong in the world, except for Zheng Xiong himself, it is Lao Zhu.

Although you don't say it yourself, you can't just fool people!

Lao Zhu looked at Zheng Xiong with disdain.

And the others, many of them showed expressions of deep approval, after all, they all started their own businesses with Lao Zhu, not flowers in the greenhouse.

Some of them have already shown thoughtful expressions, as if they have indeed been separated from the masses for too long, and there is a feeling of being on top.

But some people are naturally a little bit uneasy.

Maybe if you have a spearhead, you look at people with colored glasses.

Some others can still show their thinking, but Lao Hu does not dare to agree, and even has some disdain.

After all, the enemy is also the one who knows me best.

Some eyeliner is not surprising.

Just the way you look like a hanger, you still feel the people's feelings, look at it! Do you have hair?

If this is not right, I will stand up against it.

"Zheng Xiong, you can't be blind when everyone under you can't do it, what do you do every day, where do you go, and what does it have to do with observing the people's feelings?"

"Your favorite place to visit is probably the sixteenth floor! By the way, there is also the Teaching Division, so enjoy! ”

As soon as Lao Hu's words came out, the hall was full of low laughter, and many of them showed expressions that all men understand.

However, those who should mend the knife must be mended, and no foreign objects will be transferred.

"Prime Minister Hu Cheng is right, the friend of the nephew of the third brother of the minister told the minister that he has seen Zheng Fuyin many times on the sixteenth floor, and this matter should be true."

Uh, forget it.

Zheng Xiong doesn't care.

"Prime Minister Hu, you sent someone to spy on me?"

"No, I also heard from my younger siblings and nephews."

"Oh, is it? It seems that your brother and sister's nephew are like-minded! What's the matter, I'll go and go, just to observe the people's feelings, the sixteenth floor is getting into the gold, that is, I have learned from the people's feelings, if you don't accept it, you can try it! ”

Is there something wrong?

Nothing seems wrong!

The sixteenth floor is real money, not fake.

Ready-made examples are the most convincing.

Let Lao Hu get stuck all of a sudden.

has been in politics for so many years, and I really haven't met such an alternative as Zheng Xiong.

It seems that nothing has been done, but nothing has been done.

It's as slippery as a loach.

Taking advantage of the gap between Lao Hu's stunned eyes, Zheng Xiong said directly to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the selection of talents and abilities is the same in ancient and modern times."

"Gu Xian did not avoid relatives, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination was opened, so that the poor students had a step to rise, but in the later period of the dynasty, the road was blocked, and it was difficult for the poor to rise, because the court was controlled by traitors and cronyism."

"This kind of behavior is the main culprit."

"Maybe some adults don't know, so I'll tell you."

"For example, the Niu Li Party Dispute at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Niu Li Party Dispute, was an incident in the late Tang Dynasty, when the two factions of scholars and doctors formed a party to fight and exclude each other.

The two factions were the Niu Party headed by Niu Monks and the Li Party headed by Li Deyu, and the officials of these two factions poured into each other and quarreled endlessly, starting from the Tang Xianzong period and ending in the Tang Xuanzong period, nearly 40 years. ”

"There is also the party struggle between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty."

"The party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty was a struggle between the new party and the old party, and the two factions rose one after another, which also caused huge losses to the government of the Northern Song Dynasty. To understand the controversy between the new party and the old party, we must start with Wang Anshi's reform. ”

In 1069, Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi joined forces to launch a reform, which is the famous "Wang Anshi Reform". At that time, the officials who participated in Wang Anshi's reform were called the "new party", and the officials who opposed the reform were called the "old party".

The purpose of Wang Anshi's reform was to change the situation of internal and external troubles in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were many guidelines specified in the reform, including the law of enriching the country, the law of strengthening the army, and the law of taking soldiers, covering political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects. ”

The original intention of the reform was good, but this change objectively disrupted the political ecology of the Northern Song Dynasty. Before Wang Anshi's reform, although there were political struggles, there was a consensus in the struggles, that is, no matter which faction came to power later, it should not engage in retaliation and should tolerate criticism from the opposition.

It's not a verbal rule, but it's conventional.

Wang Anshi broke this rule, and after the reform was introduced, it was opposed by the "old party" headed by Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi, with the support of Shenzong, drove the opposition out of the capital.

This kind of behavior broke the consensus between the previous parties, and since then, the partisan struggle between the new party and the old party has become a serious political problem. ”

After Sima Guang took power, he also began to retaliate and drive out all the people of the New Party. But the good times didn't last long, and within a few years the Empress Dowager Gao died of illness, Song Zhezong was in power, and he felt that the old party was always by the side of the Empress Dowager Gao before, and he was very disrespectful to him, the emperor, so he re-activated the new party and retaliated against the old party.

At that time, Sima Guang had passed away, but as the soul of the old party, he still could not escape the fate of being retaliated against, and his tombstone was pushed to the ground.

Even though the original two core figures, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, have both died, the partisan struggle is still in full swing.

What is even more serious is that this kind of party strife has caused Wang Anshi's new law to be repealed and sometimes reinstated, and the government has changed its decrees every day, leaving the people at a loss. ”

"And this kind of struggle between the old and new parties is nothing more than the word interests, which cannot be reconciled."

"Most of the members of the old party owned large tracts of land among the people and belonged to vested interest groups, while the new party relied on the opportunity of Wang Anshi's reform to get to power, and they belonged to political rookies.

The new law promulgated by Wang Anshi has had a great impact on the interests of the old party.

For example, there is a new law called the "Green Seedling Law", which means that the state will provide low-interest loans to farmers every year when the harvest is scarce, and then return the principal and interest to the state after the farmers have a harvest.

However, before the promulgation of the Seedlings Law, landlords who owned large tracts of land provided usury to the peasants to make money, and if the peasants did not pay the money, the peasants' land was annexed according to the contract signed by the two parties.

But now the government has come forward to lend, and the interest rate is lower than that of the landlords, which has cut off the landlords' financial means. When the interests of these landlords were harmed, they complained to the backers of the imperial court, and these backers were the so-called old party.

Therefore, of course, the old party will oppose Wang Anshi's change of law.

There is a striking difference between the old party and the new party, that is, the old party attaches more importance to morality and likes to talk big and empty words, while the new party attaches more importance to specific administrative affairs.

The old party liked to criticize the emperor, but the new party listened to the emperor.

This is because the old party has deep roots, so it dares to point fingers at the emperor, while the new party is a rising star and relies more on imperial power. ”
