Chapter 227: Understanding Wang Anshi in One Minute (2)

[When mentioning the Song Dynasty, we have to mention Wang Anshi.

Some people say that he is the culprit of Jingkang's shame, and it was he who caused the Northern Song Dynasty to be attacked by the Jin people to Bianliang.

Some people say that if his reform is successful, it will be like the Shang Dynasty of the Qin Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty will rise completely.

Wang Anshi was born in the fifth year of the Tianxi reign of Song Zhenzong, and he followed his father throughout his childhood and adolescence to travel all over the world, get in touch with reality, and experience the suffering of the people.

In March of the second year of Qingli, Wang Anshi ranked fourth in Jinshi and ranked.

After that, Wang Anshi served as the judge of Huainan Jiedu.

This is a low-level position, which also gives him a more tangible understanding of the people's suffering and social reality.

It was also at this time that he understood the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty and began to think about how to change the country.

In the third year of Jiayou, Wang Anshi went to Beijing to report on his work and wrote a 10,000-word book of Emperor Shangrenzong's words.

He summed up his many years of experience as a magistrate, pointed out the reality that the country is poor and weak, and systematically put forward the idea of changing the law, hoping to reverse the situation of poverty and weakness.

It's just a pity that Song Renzong did not adopt his ideas, and his ideas were not adopted until the Song Shenzong period.

In the second year of Xining, Shenzong appointed Wang Anshi as the governor of the government, implemented the new policy, and enabled Wang Anshi's reform.

However, Wang Anshi's reform methods were too radical and the use of people was inappropriate, which was strongly opposed by many conservative officials, and the two factions who supported and opposed the reform launched fierce debates and struggles.

In the spring of the seventh year of Ximing, a severe drought struck, the people were displaced, and the society was in turmoil.

Many ministers took the opportunity to express their grievances and strongly recommended that Wang Anshi be abolished from the post of prime minister.

The two empress dowagers also cried to Shenzong about Wang Anshi's misdeeds, which caused chaos in the world, and under pressure, Shenzong abolished Wang Anshi's position as prime minister.

Later, although it was reused, it did not last long.

Shenzong died, Zhezong ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Gao lowered the curtain to listen to the government, used the old school Sima Guang as the minister, comprehensively negated the new law, and began to deny and criticize Wang Anshi's scholarship.

It can be said that Wang Anshi's change ended in failure. 】

Reform?

Countless people in various dynasties trembled when they saw these two words.

They don't know whether the word is good or bad for the country, but for them, whenever the country changes, it's when the officials take it away.

They can always loot their property in disguise in the name of the imperial court.

Their greatest hope is that there will be no twists and turns in their lives, and they do not want this change to be implemented on their heads.

After all, they have never received benefits, and they are just cannon fodder in countless changes.

When the scholars of various dynasties saw Wang Anshi's changes on the canopy, they wanted to know the content of Wang Anshi's changes.

After all, there was a saying about changing the law in ancient China, regardless of the change of Shang Ying.

Whether it is the Li Kui reform of the Wei State, the Wu Qi reform of the Chu State, the Zou Ji reform of the Qi State, the Shen Bu Harm Reform of the Han State, the Shang Yang Reform of the Qin State, the Wang Mang Reform of the Han Dynasty, the Wang Anshi Reform of the Song Dynasty, the Zhang Juzheng Reform of the Ming Dynasty, the Wuxu Reform of the Qing Dynasty, etc.

They all want the country to be strong, but not many have really succeeded.

Not only because of the immaturity of the change, but also because some people did not meet the master, so that their change was finally shaken.

However, when they saw the results of Wang Anshi's change, they sighed.

After all, it is never easy to change the law, and even one person is against the ministers of the entire court.

Of course, this does not mean who is right and who is wrong, but more about seeing that this change seems to be beneficial to the country.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang watched the video on the canopy and saw the results of Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, and he was also full of disappointment.

It was because of Shang Ying's reform that he made Great Qin, and Great Qin slowly became stronger, laying the foundation for him to unify the Six Kingdoms.

It's just that his changes violated the interests of those nobles, and in the end he could only end up with a car cracking and dying.

However, with such a lesson from the past, Wang Anshi was still able to implement the law change, which shows that he risked his mortal heart.

However, what made Wang Anshi even more sad may be that all his changes were completely overthrown.

The Song Dynasty, which failed to change the law in this way, will definitely suffer a great loss of vitality, and countless people are even more likely to wander and lose their places.

Qin Shi Huang somewhat believed that Wang Anshi caused Jingkang's shame, but he couldn't completely blame Wang Anshi.

After all, at that time, the Great Song Dynasty already needed to change the law, just like an old man who was a good man, and the change only made him more corrupt.

At the same time, Qin Shi Huang remembered the reforms he had asked Li Si to implement now, after all, after the canopy appeared from the sky, Qin Shi Huang gradually realized that the current Great Qin had reached the time to change the law.

Although the previous laws made Great Qin gradually stronger, they did not apply to Great Qin after the unification of the Six Kingdoms.

Especially after seeing the prosperity of later generations and obtaining high-yield crops in later generations, Qin Shi Huang felt that this change was the way to go.

Only by implementing the law change can the people of Great Qin truly settle down and prevent the Second Great Qin Society from dying.

Li Si watched the video on the canopy, and saw the results of Wang Anshi's change, he was very silent in his heart.

He knew the result of the change, and he also knew the result of his future, after all, the Shang Ying was a lesson for him.

However, as a courtier of Qin Shi Huang, he was even more known by Qin Shi Huang that he would tamper with the edict in the future.

He can only implement the law according to Qin Shi Huang's ideas, otherwise his current life will not be guaranteed.

At the same time, he also hopes that after he changes the law, the country will truly settle down, so that Daqin will not die second.

After all, the establishment of Great Qin has cost him countless efforts.

Han dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che watched the video on the canopy, and he remembered his reforms.

Although the country gradually became stronger since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the money needed to attack the Xiongnu was still too little.

In order to change this situation, he implemented a lot of measures, so that his Han had enough money and materials to attack the Xiongnu.

New Dynasty.

Wang Mang looked at the video on the canopy, and he sighed deeply.

The matter of changing the law has always been done knowing that it cannot be done, although tens of millions of people have gone to it!

He knew that the new policy he implemented would infringe on the interests of many nobles, but he always had his own ideas for establishing a new dynasty.

He hopes that he can change the original system of the Han Dynasty, so that his heart will become richer and stronger, and the people can live a richer life.

In order to get the results early, he used the power of the administration to push it out, and he believed that the country would change because of his changes.

He believed that his new dynasty was gradually becoming stronger.

However, the reality turned out to slap him hard.

The new policies he introduced were opposed not only by the aristocracy, but also by the common people.

In the end, Wang Mang was killed when the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an, all his administrations were abolished, and the state he established was wiped out.
