During the dynasty of the late Emperor Shenzong, the two parties of the "new and old" struggled endlessly, but overall, the "new party" had an absolute advantage. After all, Emperor Shenzong ended in person, and no matter what the "old party" had to worry about it.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others have repeatedly retired or threatened to retire, and retreated to advance.

Although today is even worse than the previous emperor's dynasty, the response strategy is still the same in Wen Yanbo's opinion.

Wait, wait for the opportunity.

Wang Anshi was at its peak at the beginning, but he had retired for the second time? Zhang Dun did not have Wang Anshi's virtues, nor did Wang Anshi's tenderness and mind, how long could he last?

Su Shi was smart and understood in a flash, but he was still unwilling to accept it and said, "What should the country be like when they are so troubled? Is Mr. Wen not caring about the lessons of the past?"

The "Wang Anshi Reform" of the Shenzong Dynasty really made the whole Song Dynasty feel like a boiling sound.

Wen Yanbo looked at the official document with his own eyes and said, "You stopped it, what's the result? Haven't you understood it yet?"

Su Shi's expression moved, slowly raised his hand and said, "Receive it."

He understood that Wen Yanbo's words were right, he could not stop them, and Wen Yanbo could not stop them. The meaning of "understanding" is that the root of everything is not in Zhang Dun, nor in the "New Party", but in the Sacred Heart!

Su Shi left the Political Affairs Hall, but his expression did not change much, solemn and serious.

Wen Yanbo's words are certainly reasonable, but he does not fully agree with them. Some things have to be brought up.

He returned to the Ministry of Works and held a meeting to plan a series of recent events in the Ministry of Works.

He pondered for a while, took out a pen and wrote a letter to Chen Xian, the Minister of Works, who was in Jiangnan.

At this time, Chen Xian accompanied Su Song to the vicinity of Hongzhou Prefecture.

They paused and did not enter immediately, and they came in a "hidden" way.

Although Su Song knew that there was no secret in his work, he still pretended not to know it.

The officialdom has been ups and downs for more than 50 years, and he is the former grand grandfather. It is not difficult for him to know what happened in Jiangnan West Road, especially what happened in Hongzhou Prefecture recently.

"Lin Xi, Huang Lu, Li Kui, Xing Shu, Shen Kuo..."

In the room, Su Song silently muttered these names.

Almost all these people were Jinshi during the Yuanfeng period, and it was not long before Su Song retired, so he knew these people.

These people should all sit high in the capital and enjoy the glory, but they appear in the remote Jiangnan West Road.

This only shows one problem-the court's determination is unprecedented!

Chen Xian sat opposite him, saw him pondering, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Su?"

Su Song looked up at him and said, "This is not the imperial court's intention to restore the old Han and Tang systems."

In order to reduce the resistance to reform, the court moved out "retro" to fight the ancestral system. However, the restructuring of Jiangnan West Road, especially the addition of various "nan" yamen, obviously broke through "retro".

Chen Xian said: "The west road in Jiangnan is remote and beyond the reach of the imperial court. Establishing southern yamen at all levels can solve problems more effectively, and it is also a good policy for the people to solve problems. It is a good policy for the country and the people."

Su Song is not those who oppose for the sake of "opposition". As a former important minister of the court, he can naturally see the effects and impacts of these "Nan" yamen.

"Zong Ze will temporarily lose control over Jiangnan West Road."

Su Song said: "The people he sent out can only master the politics of a county and a government for a short period of three months or a year or two. If this continues, Jiangnan West Road will only be in chaos and things will go against their wishes."

Chen Xian is not a newcomer or just a yamen, and he is just a talker.

He agreed with Su Song's words and said, "What can Su Xianggong solve the problem?"

Su Song did not look at him, and thought to himself, "There is no way. You are too impatient. You should have done something that should have been done step by step, and you should have expected such consequences."

"Is there really no way for Mr. Su?" Chen Zhen expressed his disbelief. If the current Song Dynasty court is concerned, only Wen Yanbo, who can defeat Su Song, is the only one who can defeat Su Song in his nineties.

Su Song said: "The style of Jiangnan West Road has been prosperous since ancient times and the people are strong. You have sent so many foreigners. Even if there is a large army to suppress it, it cannot be convinced. Only if you are not convinced will you fail. There is no other way except time."

Chen Xian is not a fool. He knows more about what happened on Jiangnan West Road than Su Song, and is also thinking about countermeasures.

Zong Ze's methods are too fierce and domineering, and he is obviously seeking quick results.

Some things can be pursued for speed, but major policies all require taking it slowly and meticulously, and hasteness will not be achieved.

"Hongzhou Prefecture is right in front of you. I wonder what Mr. Su is going to do?" Chen Xian asked instead.

Su Song looked out the window, moved his legs, and said, "What I can do is to stabilize people's hearts and soothe some people, but I can't do anything else."

Chen Zhen's eyes moved slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about having an official position on Jiangnan West Road?"

“No need.”

Su Song refused and said, "Stay for a while and enter the city at night. There is no need to tell Lin Xi, Zong Ze and others that I want to take a walk by myself."

In fact, Lin Xi, Zong Ze and others knew that Su Song was here. Su Song also knew that they knew that he was here.

Both sides maintained this situation tacitly.

Chen Xian didn't care about this and said, "The officials also have to inspect the rivers, official roads, investigate and deploy some things. They may not have time to accompany Mr. Su. In this way, I will ask Governor Zong to arrange it for you to ensure your safety on Jiangnan West Road."

Su Song seemed to have not heard it and said, "I want to see Shen Kuo first."

"Okay, let's make arrangements." Chen Xian responded without hesitation.

"Yes." Su Song nodded lightly and walked towards the whole bed, he was about to lie down for a while.

Speaking of which, his relationship with Shen Kuo is very unusual.

Shen Kuo was the "New Party". At that time, Wang Anshi's staunch supporter, but Su Song was the "old party" and was firm in opposing the "new law".

It was when water and fire were incompatible, and due to their common interests in various sciences, the two became friends who had crossed the party and maintained their friendship for many years.

Shen Kuo is now the Imperial College Supervisor and is in charge of the world's learning and politics. It can be said that in some aspects, this is the real "most important" that the world expects.

Su Song naturally had some ideas when he wanted to see Shen Kuo.

Seeing that Su Song was about to rest, Chen Xian raised his hand and retreated.

After walking a few steps, he attracted people and whispered: "Mr. Su can see anyone, but he must record carefully for everyone who comes, when he says something, and when he leaves!"

"Yes." The little official immediately responded in a low voice.

After Chen Xian said this, he quickly left.

Su Song did not want to see Lin Xi and others, so he could see him. The Ministry of Works has many major plans on Jiangnan West Road, which requires the support of yamen at all levels of Jiangnan West Road. Naturally, it is also inseparable from the court.

Lin Xi, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, dares not underestimate him? As the Minister of Works, he must go to see him as soon as possible.
