Chapter 564: Cavalry Guns

Han Qi refused to listen to his talk about young crops, so he asked the governor to relieve Hebei's pacification envoy and stop leading Damingfu all the way. Wang Anshi followed him.

Jiang Qian, who knew Chenliu County, sent money to send orders to the county gate, and he moved to his hometown. After three days each, there was no response, so he withdrew the orders and paid the officials: "The people don't want it."

Among the sixteen counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, Chenliu County is the only one where the money for young crops has not been lost.

Si Nong and Kaifeng were suspicious of Qianju Ge, so they asked their subordinates to come to check and found that the decree was indeed posted.

It happened that the Ordinance Department impeached Xiangfu County for not letting go of young crops' money. Jiang Qian knew this and couldn't help it, so he complained of illness and left.

Zhao Xu ordered Sima Guang to let him come back and still serve.

On that day, Sima Guang came to the meeting and said: "I know that I am powerless to the court. Everything the court does is contrary to what I say."

Zhao Xu asked: "What's wrong with the opposite?"

Sima Guang shook his head: "I said that the Regulations Department should not be dealt with, I also said that it is not appropriate to send more envoys to interfere with the Supervision Department, and I also said that spreading money from young people to harm the people is still being implemented. Isn't it the opposite?"

Zhao Xu patiently explained: "But Wang Anshi said it's not that the new law is bad, it's just that some of the people sent out have problems."

Sima Guang was unyielding: "Looking at it as a minister, the law is not good either."

Zhao Xu continued to explain: "I have issued an order before, and no one can suppress it anywhere."

Sima Guang was also stubborn: "Although the edict did not impose restraints, the envoys sent encouraged states and counties to express their support. For example, in the seventeen counties of Kaifeng, only Chen Liu, Jiang Qian, and Zhang edict communicated with the county gates, and the people came to ask for help.

In the end, there was no one left. From this point of view, how did the money for young people in the other sixteen counties be distributed? I’m afraid they will all be depressed.”

This is nonsense. No matter how good the policy is, if it is not guided and preached, the people will not come.

The emperor's edicts were repeated again and again, and he only paid homage again.

This end was not pressed flat, and the other end led to Yintai Sifan Town, where Zhao Xu ordered the Ordinance Department to refute Han Qi's letter.

After five edicts were issued, Fan Zhen returned them five times and insisted on his own opinion.

Sima Guang resigned as deputy privy envoy, Zhao Xu agreed, and Fan Zhen returned the title again. The reason was: "What I have said is probably similar to that of Sima Guang. If your majesty wants to return Sima Guang's new appointment as deputy privy envoy, I will also be guilty of the crime."

"

Zhao Xu ordered him to be sent to the town again, and Fan Zhen returned it with the following words: "Your Majesty has removed himself as deputy envoy to the privy council. The scholar-bureaucrats congratulate each other, saying that they have won the man. As for the small and medium-sized people, everyone is celebrating. Once the imperial edict is returned now, it will be a big deal."

However, if the imperial edict is against the Khan, I am really afraid that Ju Guang will talk about loyalty and tactics."

Sima Guang serves as deputy privy envoy? Can he understand military maps? And he obviously intends to continue to control the right to speak, okay?

This is simply an unreasonable fanboy and a pig teammate!

Zhao Xu was also angry and sent an edict directly to Sima Guang instead of the Yintai Department.

Fan Zhen wrote: "My lack of talent has caused His Majesty to abolish the law and cause chaos, causing the Yintai Department to lose its functions. Please remove me."

That's it! Who hasn't lost his temper yet? Zhao Xu said, "Xu Zhi."

However this is only the beginning.

Wang Anshi had been good friends with Sun Jue in his early years, and wanted him to be his helper. He summoned him back from Tongzhou and became acquainted with the Remonstration Court, and then changed to the Judge's Court.

At that time, Lu Huiqing was doing something, and the emperor asked Jue, and Sun Jue replied: "Huiqing is talented in debating, and he only thinks of it as a benefit, so he bows down to Wang Anshi. Anshi doesn't understand, and I feel worried about it."

Then Sun Jue also wavered in the legitimacy of Wang Anshi's charging of three-cent interest.

Wang Anshi's reason is: "In the Quan Mansion of "Zhou Guan", those who lend money to the people will lose interest at least twenty-five cents, and there is no way to use the money for state affairs."

Sun Jue retorted: "Cheng Zhou gave loans on credit because the people were greedy for the benefits of the lacquer forest and the people were greedy for the benefits of the lacquer forest. Therefore, the people were restrained from doing anything and returned to farming and mulberry trees."

"Nowadays, farmers are exhausted. Is it okay to subsidize farming and harvest, and then collect crops according to the last harvest? In the sage, it is better to pay attention to the methods of the previous kings, and not to use doubts and false claims in order to achieve governance."

He was demoted to Guangde Army.

There is a book written by Cheng Lugong in the imperial history, which states: "The so-called sages in the past are all considered virtuous now. How can it be that in the past they were all virtuous and now they are all unworthy?"

Zhao Xu asked Lu Gong to recommend Lu Huiqing as censor, but the old man said that Huiqing was evil and could not be used;

When Han Qi was dismissed, Zhao Xu said to Wang Anshi: "Old man Lu said that the imperial court had gone too far in destroying Han Qi, so he would use the armor of Jinyang to eliminate the evil on the emperor's side."

Wang Anshi dismissed Lu Gong and informed Yingzhou of this crime.

In fact, the old man took the blame. It was Zhao Xu who failed to remember correctly. These words were said by Sun Jue. The original words were: "Han Qi is now the minister of Huizhen. He suffered setbacks due to his reasoning. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties, there must be prosperity. The armor of Jinyang is used to eliminate evildoers on your side."

However, Lu Gongzhu was not innocent. He was recommended to Taiwan by Wang Anshi, but he always opposed Wang Anshi.

Zhao pinshangshu: "The affairs of the imperial court are of different importance, and the body of the court is of great and small size. Financial benefits are the lightest thing, but the gain and loss of the people's hearts are the most important. The body of young people is small, and the use of officials who are close to the ears and eyes is the big one. Now let's get rid of the important things and take them. Being lighthearted means losing something big and gaining something small, and you are afraid of not being able to benefit from the blessings of the ancestral temple and the country."

So the old man happily escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and came to Hangzhou.

Cheng Hao wrote more than a dozen essays, the key points of which are: the auxiliary ministers are not of the same mind, the minor ministers are not in agreement with the big plan, the public opinion is not good, the young crops are taking interest, many officials promoted by various methods are not his people, the Jingdong transportation department exploits the favor of the people and makes profit. The ministers are advancing day by day, and the trend of advocating virtue is declining.

Zhao Xu was so troubled that he had no choice but to go to Zhongshu to discuss it with Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi was upset by the opponents and treated him harshly. Cheng Hao Xu said: "Everything in the world is not a private discussion. I am willing to listen to it calmly." "

"Anshi feels ashamed."

There was no need to say anything, so I begged to go. "I went out of Hao to prepare some sentences for Jingxi Road."

Throughout March and April, the imperial court basically went out, out, and out.

Although Wang Anshi gradually became more powerful, his former friends, colleagues, recommenders, and followers all left him.

In addition to the court, even the imperial examination room has become a battleground between the two sides.

The examiner is Lu Huiqing, because the examinee Ye Zu's Qia Ce statement said, "Our ancestors often followed the simple and simple government, and your Majesty came to the throne and revolutionized it." You are ranked high.

When Liu Zong re-examined the exam, the whole situation was completely turned upside down.

Li Dalin and Su Shi ranked Shangguanjun first, Ye Zuqia second, and Lu Dian fifth.

Zhao Xu ordered Chen Shengzhi to read several people's policy discussions, and finally promoted Ye Zuqia to the first place.

Su Shi was dissatisfied: "Zu Qia slandered his ancestors in order to flatter the current king, but how can Kui Duoshi be upright? Uncle Yao said he wanted me to do something serious!"

After I came down, I wrote an article to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu showed it to Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi said after reading it: "Su Shi is indeed very talented, but his studies are not correct and he cannot succeed in his ambition. Therefore, his words have fallen to this point. Your Majesty should let him go."

Zhao Xu was a little reluctant to give up. The three Sus were all the talents of the prime ministers mentioned by Emperor Renzong. Let's see again.

After the Qingmingchi Conference in April, Su You asked Zhao Xu to inspect the weapons inspection and display the latest products.

This move aroused the opposition of Wang Anshi, who believed that it was not a good sign for the emperor to leave the capital, even though it was only Zhengzhou, which was more than a hundred miles away.

However, the opinion was rejected by Zhao Xu, because when Su You reported it, he also attached a drawing and several exquisite metal models to him.

So seductive!

Wang Anshi was worried and asked Lu Huiqing to accompany him.

Lu Huiqing was not afraid when facing Sima Guang, but when facing Su You, he felt a little frightened and guilty.

Xie Jingwen, the censor's miscellaneous official, is currently collecting unfavorable evidence about Sansu in preparation for impeachment.

The existence of the Ordnance Supervision could not block the connection between Su You and Zhao Xu. Su You's attitude was that he could cooperate but would never take sides. In the eyes of the reformists, it was a destabilizing factor.

Moreover, the profitability of weapons inspection also makes the reformists jealous.

Zhao Xu actually liked the military. Once again, he wore military uniform and armor to see the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager told him to stop doing this. That was a matter for local generals. The emperor needed to wear armor, and the country was not far from destruction.

.

Well now, as soon as the magical gun came out, the meaning of armor no longer existed.

The three of them are now standing on the school grounds, each holding a telescope, watching Di Yong and Sun Neng practice new weapons.

The two of them were riding tall horses. There was a long leather bag on the side of the horse, revealing the butt of a gun similar to that of a magical gun, but it was much smaller.

Su You blew the metal whistle, and the two of them galloped more than a hundred steps in front of the target, then drew out their riding guns, and each of them fired six rounds in an instant.

Xining cavalry gun is actually a replica of Shi Wei's revolver gun. With the new carbide blade, the precision bullet chamber can be machined, eliminating the need for Shi Fu, an eighth-level fitter.

The cavalry gun is longer than the revolving gun, but it is also one-third shorter than the magic gun. It also uses the ammunition of the revolving gun, and its power is much smaller than the magic gun. The shooting distance is four hundred steps, and the killing range is

Two hundred steps.

But the advantage is that it has fast firepower output, is light and easy to carry, and combined with the hand-thrown Thunderbolt, it is definitely an artifact for cavalry raids.
