Chapter 15: Jing Yu's Party Struggle
The next day, early in the morning.
Before the discussion of the vertical arch hall began, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in the back garden.
Recently, in order to take care of the ministers, they clocked in early to work every day and came to Zhao Jun to listen to the class, and Zhao Zhen even ordered the time of Gongchenmen to be advanced by half an hour.
The ministers yawned and walked slowly to the back garden, Lu Yijian is not young, he is fifty-nine years old this year, his legs and feet are not very good, Zhao Zhen also asked people to wait outside the Gongchen Gate, and when he came, he came in in a sedan chair.
Everyone stood at the beginning of the lecture, but Zhao Jun sometimes talked endlessly for an hour or two, and Zhao Zhen prepared a few more stools and put them in the room for everyone to sit in.
It's just that he was afraid that Zhao Zhen would copy the stool and beat people, so the rest of the ministers refused one after another, but Lu Yijian was indeed uncomfortable standing for so long every day, so he thanked the emperor for his favor and sat and listened.
It was before dawn, Yan Shu was standing outside the Guanjia Hall with breakfast, Fan Zhongyan arrived before anyone else, Lu Yijian was late, the guards put the sedan chair at the door, and Lu Yijian slowly came down and arched his hand to everyone.
After everyone returned the salute, Fan Zhongyan glanced at him and said, "Lu Xiang, it's a little late today. ”
Lu Yijian smiled: "It's true that I'm getting older and older, and my energy is not as good as before. With the grace of Your Majesty, an old minister like me can walk a few steps less and stand for an hour or two less, and God is like the sea. ”
said so, but it was undoubtedly showing his unique position in Zhao Zhen's mind.
Wang Zeng's face twitched slightly.
Fan Zhongyan snorted.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
At this moment, the eunuch shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked to the west and saw Zhao Zhen coming in a hurry.
Now Zhao Zhen lives in the back garden, although it is close, but it is the slowest every time.
It's not that he's lazy, it's that he often tosses and turns in bed these days and can't sleep, and his mind is full of the fact that my Da Song is going to die.
Sometimes I gritted my teeth, talked in my dreams in a daze, muttered that you are a second fool, you are a stupid donkey, etc., and did not fall asleep until midnight.
This made the eunuch Wang Shouzhong, who was guarding outside the door, wonder, and he didn't know who had offended the official's family, and he kept scolding in a dream.
Zhao Zhen came over sleepily, everyone bowed, and he raised his hands and said, "Flat, let's go." ”
"Yes."
Yan Shu answered, and then went to the house where Zhao Jun slept in the east.
"Crunch!"
When the door opened, Zhao Jun got up all of a sudden.
Now he can't do anything every day, he is blind, he is covered in wounds, and he lies in bed for twenty-three hours a twenty-four hour, and he never even leaves the door, so naturally he can only sleep a lot.
Therefore, his spirit is much better than that of Zhao Zhen and them, and he looks forward to Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan coming over to accompany him every day, even if he talks more, it is not so boring.
"Uncle Lari, what are you eating today?"
Zhao Jun had a little joy in his tone, now that he was familiar with Yan Shu, he didn't have so many scruples when he spoke.
Yan Shu smiled and said, "Kill a chicken and make up for it." ”
Zhao Jun said happily: "Have a chicken to eat?" Great, thank you Uncle Lari, how much is this chicken, I'll give it to you then. ”
"Doesn't the state have subsidies without money?"
Yan Shu replied.
Zhao Jun nodded again and again and sighed: "It's still better for the country." ”
"I'm here too."
Fan Zhongyan reminded aloud.
"Uncle Nima is also there?"
"Yes, the injury is not healed yet, but I can go to the ground, so I will come and chat with you."
"That's a good relationship, and it's not so boring to have multiple people with me."
"How are you feeling now?"
"It's much better, it's all traumatized, and it should have healed pretty well. As for the head injury, it still hurts a little. ”
"I hurt my muscles and bones for a hundred days, and I need to recuperate."
"Uncle Sheyima."
Zhao Jun thanked him obediently, he is not very familiar with Fan Zhongyan now, and he feels that Fan Zhongyan is a bit of a good guy and is not easy to deal with, so try to be polite.
Fan Zhongyan didn't know that he was already a good man in Zhao Jun's mind, and seeing that Zhao Jun was in good spirits, he immediately asked: "By the way, I want to ask, does Fan Zhongyan have to reform?" Didn't you say that he sacrificed a lot for reform? Wouldn't it be better if he didn't reform? ”
"yes."
Zhao Jun took a bite of the chicken, took over the conversation and said: "Lao Fan still sacrificed a lot for the sake of reform, went against Lu Yijian, was demoted to Raozhou, and even his wife died of illness there. ”
Fan Zhongyan's face was gloomy for a while, he had heard about this matter yesterday, but fortunately he was not degraded now.
"But Lao Fan is not ashamed, he is fifty years old, and after his wife died, he actually married a fifteen-year-old prostitute, alas, this is not good in ancient times, they are only fourteen or fifteen years old, how can they do it."
Zhao Jun beat his chest and was heartbroken, the evil old society turned people into ghosts.
Or is it better for us to marry a fifteen-year-old? Torture, Zhang San is not as rampant as you, sit in prison.
Married a young prostitute yourself?
Fan Zhongyan's face suddenly became embarrassed, but Zhao Zhen and the others behind him snickered, and it was rare to see Fan Zhongyan, who had always been a decent man and a gentleman, deflated.
Especially Zhao Zhen, who was scolded by Zhao Jun before, and now someone is finally scolded with him.
"Let's talk about why Fan Zhongyan must reform first."
Fan Zhongyan hurriedly changed the topic.
Zhao Jun drank the chicken soup, pinched the chicken leg and took a bite and said: "Fan Zhongyan's reform, naturally, is to save the Great Song Dynasty, and if he doesn't change the Great Song Dynasty, he will die." And didn't Lao Fan fail in reform? From the failure of Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal in 1045 A.D. to the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty in 1127 A.D., there were only many years in between. Isn't it caused by the harm of the three redundancies? So Lao Fan wanted to save the rotten Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he couldn't. ”
Fan Zhongyan looked back at Zhao Zhen, and said, "Is there any other reason besides the emperor's disapproval?" ”
"There are also conservative interest groups that don't agree."
Zhao Jun shrugged: "Didn't you say it last time?" Lao Fan's reform touched the interests of a large number of scholars and doctors, who were huge in number and held a lot of real power, and the Qingli New Deal was to reform their lives, how could they agree? ”
"So who are these conservative interest groups?"
Fan Zhongyan asked again.
Well?
Lu Yijian, who was behind, suddenly frowned.
Scheming, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Why did Fan Zhongyan ask that?
Do you want Your Majesty to know who is blocking the reform of the Qingli calendar?
Lu Yijian secretly said that it was not good.
His Lu Party is all over the government and the opposition, and it must be a person with vested interests.
Ask yourself, if Fan Zhongyan carries out reforms and has Zhao Zhen's support, he will probably not be affected.
But the disciples and grandchildren below are different, and they will inevitably be implicated.
So if you talk about the position, Lu Yijian is probably a conservative.
Now Zhao Zhen already knows that the Northern Song Dynasty will perish in a few decades due to the problem of three redundancies.
was scolded by Zhao Jun a few times, saying that the emperor might make up his mind to support Fan Zhongyan's reform to the end.
And if he stood opposite the emperor because of his position, wouldn't that be .......
Thinking of this, Lu Yijian suddenly became anxious.
However, it was too late.
I heard Zhao Jun shrug his shoulders and said: "This question is a good question, ordinary people will definitely not be able to remember, that is, I have a very good memory, I remember Lu Yijian, Xia Zhu, Chen Yaozuo, Jia Changchao, as well as Wang Gongchen, Zhang Dexiang, Chen Zhizhong, Liu Yuanyu, Li Ding, Qian Mingyi, Song Qi, Song Qi, Song Qi, these people." ”
Lu Yijian was suddenly cold, like falling into a cold cave!
Fan Zhong drowned this thief, it was really sinister!
