"Party fighting!"

In the Imperial Garden! Zhao Xu looked up to the sky and sighed!

The emperors of all dynasties did not like party strife, and even thought that party strife misled the country!

If it was possible, Zhao Xu also did not want the DPRK and China to have party disputes, but he did not have the right to choose, he had just become pro-government, and if he wanted to change the law to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, he had to appoint a new party.

If you want to avoid the tragedy of the failure of Shenzong's reform, you need to use the old party to contain the new party, he originally thought that by closing the coffin for Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the new party and the old party would work together, but Su Zhe's successive resignations made all his efforts come to naught.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The ideas of the new party and the old party do not agree, they can only supervise each other, and it is impossible to work together. ”

"Party strife is misrepresenting the country! At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a disaster of party rebellion, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a party dispute between Niu and Li, all of which were signs of the destruction of the country. Zhao Xu said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Are the officials ready to support the new party?" Fan Zheng's eyes flashed.

Zhao Xu fell silent, what Fan Zheng said was indeed what he thought in his heart, since the party and government were inevitable, he could only choose one of the two and choose the new party that was most beneficial to the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "There is no party outside the party!" It's just the emperor's wishful thinking! Even if the government allows the New Party to become dominant, then after the New Party grows bigger, it will automatically divide into various factions and continue to carry out a new round of party struggle, which is inevitable due to human nature. One party dominates, but it is just a cover-up and stealing the bell, it is really a policy, in the future, the old party will make a comeback, I am afraid that a new round of party struggle will be repeated, that is when the Great Song Dynasty really dies! ”

The great men of later generations once said that there is no party outside the party, there is no imperial thought, there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things, but whenever there is a dispute between the court and the court, there are interest groups fighting in all dynasties, and it is impossible to avoid the struggle.

The dominance of the New Party is just a policy.

"In Fan Aiqing's opinion, how should we break the game!" Zhao Xu's heart moved.

Fan Zheng didn't answer and asked: "Have the officials ever read Ouyang's predecessor's "Theory of Friends"? ”

"A gentleman is a friend of the same way, and a villain is a friend of the same benefit." Zhao Xu nodded and said.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "There are disputes over people's interests, and when Fan became a forensic doctor, he didn't form a friend with a group of like-minded classmates, and finally became a great trend of medical doctors." Since friends have existed since ancient times, and they must be unavoidable, the official family must face the party contention! ”

"I'm worried about a repeat of the Niu Li Party's struggle to disrupt the country." Zhao Xu frowned and said, if the old and new parties are allowed to fight, I am afraid it will definitely affect the government.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Of course, there must be an injury when the two tigers fight, and the three-legged stand is the most stable relationship, which is the best way to resolve the party struggle between the old and new parties." ”

"Three-legged?"

Zhao Xu's heart moved, he was familiar with the situation of the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, combined with the situation of the Three Kingdoms of Liaoxia and Song, and naturally understood that the three-legged tripod was the most stable relationship.

"Are you asking me to support a new party? Check and balance the old and new parties," Zhao Xu frowned.

"Now the official family has only three choices, one is to suppress the old party, fully support the new party, one party is dominant, and the rebound of the old party in the future will inevitably cause greater party contention, the second is to sit back and watch the party contention between the old and new parties, and the party contention will only intensify, and the third is, the three-legged stand, re-cultivate a new party, three-legged, let the three parties contain each other, control the party and government within a certain range, and stabilize the situation." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"Evil side? Another evil recipe? ”

Zhao Xu gasped and said, the emperors of all dynasties avoided party disputes, but Fan Zheng's evil side actually did the opposite, adding another party, so that the three parties could stand on three legs and balance each other.

"Today's Great Song Dynasty is full of parties, and in addition to the old party, there is also Cheng Yi's Luo Party! Su Shi's Shu Party! Liu Zhi's Shuo Party, in the New Party, Wang Anshi has passed away, and the New Party is also full of mountains, can Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu really be single-minded? Cai Bian and Cai Jing brothers did not listen to Zhang Danyan, since the party struggle in the Great Song Dynasty is inevitable, the three parties are working hard to contain each other, this is the only way for the official family to break the situation! Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu frowned, the impact of Wang Anshi's reform was too great, not only the success or failure of the change, but also a very serious court battle, and the political parties of the Great Song Dynasty were numerous, which was one of the disasters.

"Even if I agree to a three-legged strategy, how can a third party be formed in a short period of time, and who will be able to preside over this third party and compete with the old and new parties? Su shi? Cheng Yi? Or recall Liu Zhi. Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Su Shi is obsessed with literature and has no intention of party disputes, Cheng Yi is a scholar, the Luo Party is not clearly involved with the old party, Liu Zhi has just been demoted, and recalling him back is detrimental to the majesty of the official family." ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and the prestige and means of these three were inferior to Lu Dafang and Zhang Dian, I am afraid it will be difficult to form a three-legged situation. ”

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "In fact, there is another person in the court, whether it is prestige or seniority, who can compete with Lu Dafang and Zhang Dan. ”

"Who is it?" Zhao Xu said in surprise.

"Lord Su Songsu, the prefect of Kaifeng!" Fan Zheng reminded.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up suddenly, and then dimmed, Su Song is indeed extremely prestigious, and has an excellent reputation in the government and the opposition, but he does not set up party aid, although it can balance the old and new parties, but it is impossible to form a situation where the three parties in the court are dominant.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Although Su Song is an official in the court, he is the leader of another school in the court. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.

"Confucian Doctor!" Fan Zheng explained.

"Confucian doctors?" Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

The medical style of the Great Song Dynasty was at its peak, and Fan Zhongyan had the famous saying that he was a good doctor if he was not a good looker, and many officials practiced Confucianism and medicine, and practiced medicine to make a living when the Jinshi was not yet in the first place.

After the success of Confucian medicine, he did not give up medical skills, but compiled them, and even integrated them into his political philosophy.

"Do you want Su Song to set up a medical party?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng with a strange expression.

Su Song is a double cultivator of Confucianism and medicine, and Fan Zheng is the head of the medical family, Su Song has now established the medical party, after all, he is old, and after retiring in the future, Fan Zheng has grown up, and it is not a step to take charge of the medical party.

This is not that Zhao Xu thinks too much, as an emperor, although he believes in Fan Zheng, he has to think of Fan Zheng's motives.

Fan Zheng responded without hesitation: "Why not! Traditional Chinese medicine treats people, the great doctor governs the country, and the doctor also has the concept of hanging the pot to help the world, and now the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated disadvantages and is as dangerous as an exhausting egg, and the doctor is the best at incurable diseases, and the revitalization of the Great Song Dynasty is none other than my doctor. ”

Looking at Fan Zheng's undisguised words, the doubts in Zhao Xu's heart were swept away, once upon a time, when Fan Zheng was covering the sky with the old party, he dared to speak out and become a forensic doctor.

Now that the new party and the old party have drawbacks, Su Song can compete with Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun, and the concept of the doctor hanging the pot to help the world is also extremely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, and perhaps the opportunity for the revitalization of the Great Song Dynasty is on the doctor.

Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty has already been full of parties, and it is not impossible to add another party.

At that time, the medical party, the new party, and the old party will be three-legged, and Fan Zheng's evil prescription may not be able to work miraculously.
