Chapter 1340: Abandoned or Not
In Funing Hall.
When the prince was serving the wardrobe, he took advantage of the opportunity of leaning over to tuck the corner of the quilt and swept the shadow behind the screen.
When he saw his uncle, King Yong, broke through the curtain of the emperor and whispering something to Empress Gao next to him. Even when he looked towards the queen and Concubine Zhu were standing by, he did not avoid it.
When the prince saw the official on his sickbed, he could only look at it in a slight manner, but could not speak a word.
Now who can care about the true emperor is just treating him as a dead person?
The prince pinched the brocade quilt into the brocade quilt with blood marks on the crescent. He stared at the withered emperor on the sick bed - his biological father, but now he was unable to even cough and gasp. Tears were almost thrust into his eyes, and they were forced back by the young man. In this palace, a tear was a flaw.
But the prince was a little sensitive.
What King Yong said was not something else.
In Funing, King Yong said to Empress Dowager Gao.
"The Empress Dowager, Lu Huiqing's military service to the Dangxiang incident attracted the intervention of the Liao Kingdom. The army reported that the Liao Lord would continue to increase troops to Shuozhou. He also sent Yelu Tabu to send 100,000 troops to the Jumahe River and to enter Baigou River, demanding a re-demarcation and asking for 700,000 yuan of monies."
"Lu Huiqing is good at launching border quarrels, and the Liao people asked for more than money and silk."
Empress Dowager Gao said: "Sima Guang said that Lu Huiqing was a treacherous person, which is a good thing."
"I deliberately provoked the war in the northwest, which attracted the interference of the Liao Dynasty. In this way, the court had to continue to reuse their old ministers to guard the border, and the new laws would not be abolished if they were old."
"Give our Song Dynasty soldiers the blood to add contributions to these new parties! It's really hateful!"
At this time, Empress Xiang happened to come, brought ginseng Tang to raise white mist, and personally served Empress Gao.
"Be careful that it's hot."
Empress Dowager Gao slowly drank the ginseng soup and said, "We must guard this country for the Sixth Brother."
King Yong's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he quickly said, "The Queen Mother said yes."
Xiang the queen did not express her opinion. She didn't know if Empress Gao said this to her on purpose.
"I think it is an immediate plan. I should issue three million silos of salt banknotes to solve the urgent need for the court's financial use and to expand the army and prepare for war."
When Zhang Yue was in the court, the court's financial system was always very sensible, and the additional salt banknotes issued each year were controlled within a certain amount. At the same time, the scope of salt banknotes was continuously expanded, so the salt banknotes not only did not depreciate, but also appreciated a little.
However, after Zhang Yue left, in order to deal with the battle of Yongle City, the government immediately issued three million silos of salt banknotes. Now it is necessary to issue more salt banknotes, using the salt banknotes as another treasury in the court. Sooner or later, the salt banknotes will go on the road of Jiaozi and go all the way to depreciate. This really ruined Zhang Yue's painstaking efforts.
Empress Dowager Gao knew about these ills, but she did not refute the strategies of King Yong.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded slowly and asked, "Where has Zhang Yue been?"
"I have arrived in Hangzhou. I wrote a memorial yesterday and have not been shown to the Queen Mother yet." Zhang Maoze said.
"Before the people arrived, the seclusion has arrived." Queen Mother Gao said.
After reading the memorial, Empress Dowager Gao said: "Zhang Yue asked to set up a quotation office in Jianzhou to completely replace tea quotation with salt banknotes to facilitate exchanges between officials and the people."
"If you buy Jianzhou tea, you must use salt banknotes. In this way, the court will make a little profit and receive an additional issuance of millions of silos of salt banknotes to make up for the profit."
Zhang Maoze said: "There are three million kilograms of tea in Jianzhou a year and four hundred thousand kilograms in Nanjianzhou. The actual estimate is 800,000 kilograms. It is reasonable to estimate 200,000 kilograms in Jianzhou."
Empress Dowager Gao said happily: "Wang Anshi often says that the people do not increase taxes but the country uses enough money, but this false estimate of 200,000 is the real amount of money."
"He can be the prime minister in the temple, and he can also be a capable minister in the local area. This time he returns to Beijing, he still needs him to preside over the Khitan side."
The corners of King Yong's mouth moved. Compared to printing money without anchors, Zhang had the best way to anchor, and he was several times better.
However, Empress Dowager Gao said in one sentence that she still did not plan to use Zhang Yue to regain her prime minister, and obviously wanted to let the other party go to Hebei.
Empress Dowager Gao put down her memorial and said, "Let the capital discuss the matters of Jianzhou Communications Office."
After saying that, Empress Dowager Gao got up and walked to the crown prince outside the tent.
The crown prince's face turned stern and immediately showed restraint to Empress Dowager Gao.
Empress Dowager Gao asked, "Listen to Cheng Shi's speech, have you been studying in college to study things?"
The crown prince said: "The grandson is stupid and still understands Master Cheng's saying "the Lord's Respect" in the chapter of "sincereness".
Empress Dowager Gao has no research on the classics.
Through the lectures of the Seminar and the teachings of Confucian scholars, the emperor and the crown prince carefully and carefully selected the ideological direction of the entire country in the future.
But the rule of the country advocated by Empress Dowager Gao is based on everything based on "human affection".
Empress Dowager Gao said: "The word "Jing is very good, and loyalty and filial piety are born from the word "Jing". Laws and regulations are nothing more than human feelings, and this is the teachings of Emperor Renzong."
"The grandson keeps the teachings in mind."
Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "It is hard for you to serve you every day. Let's go back to the palace to rest tonight."
The crown prince felt a stern heart, and immediately remembered the repeated instructions from Cai Que and several other ministers to him, and he must not leave the emperor for a moment.
The crown prince said, "The child is not tired. I am willing to serve Your Majesty here and wait for Your Majesty to recover."
Empress Dowager Gao nodded and said, "What a filial child."
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Gao sighed and looked back, and there was still an official lying on the couch in the tent.
...
It was midsummer when Sima Guang arrived in Beijing again.
As soon as he arrived in the capital, Sima Guang urgently submitted a letter to "A Letter to Open a Road to Word", requesting that the court be able to open up a road to Word. No matter who has officials or not, anyone who understands the court's losses and the sufferings of the people can submit the letter of the truth.
Sima Guang's mansion came to visit.
At this time, Bianjing was already a little hot. He saw Sima Guang wearing a short brown gauze, and asked his servant to move twenty boxes of "Zizhi Tongjian" to his study.
After they finished their busy schedule, they sat opposite each other under the shade of the wutong tree. The servant served tea to Sima Guang and Cheng Hao.
The tea soup in the stone pottery cup was light. Cheng Hao saw that Sima Guang's food was extremely simple and sighed sincerely.
Sima Guang stroked the book and sighed: "Since the book "Zizhi Tongjian", people all over the world have been rushing to read it, but before they read a page, they were already thinking about sleeping and yawning."
"Only Wang Shengzhi (Wang Yirou) can read the final chapter."
Cheng Hao said: "Wang Shengzhi is really a studious man, but he is a pity that he is arrogant because of his talent."
Sima Guangdao: "Mr. Mingdao, you will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. What should I do to teach me?"
Cheng Hao held the courtesy and replied: "I dare not take it. It's just that there is something unknown. When Sima Gong arrived in the capital, he hurriedly submitted a letter to "Ask for the Road to Open a Road", but there was a saying in it, "I am worried about being treacherous to the people who have no property, and I am responsible for knowing that they are there, and I will report to command and issue orders to expel them." What does it mean?"
Cheng Hao was asking Sima Guang that people who do not have industries must be protected before they can speak.
Sima Guangdao: "Mr. Mingdao is well-versed in classics and history, how can he not know?"
Cheng Hao said: "Wang Jiefu once said, 'It is mostly inconvenient to change the legal system, but what is it for the people?'"
"Now Sima Gong does not allow Guizhou to make suggestions, but who wants to let anyone speak?"
Sima Guang said: "Those who have constant property have perseverance, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. This is Mencius's words. Of course, those who have persistent property should be told by those who have persistent property. If the proletariat is speaking, they are afraid that the clerks will instigate them."
"I couldn't be honest with my heart, so I let Anshi bear the blame alone and blame him deeply."
Cheng Hao asked: "Sima Gong, our actions of the new law were aroused by us. At that time, I was ashamed of not being able to be sincere, and this caused the disaster today. Our party should share his crime with Anshi!"
"Donald Zhang of Yuanfeng has found a way to help him with economy! I hope he will slow down his work and abolish the law."
Sima Guang listened to Cheng Hao's words and shook his head and said, "The law of the chapter and Wang Jiefu's law are truly a 50-step laugh."
Cheng Hao said: "Sima Gong knew that Zhang Gongzheng was going to return to the court. He told me that he would reconcile the old and the new."
Sima Guangdao: "Reconcile? Wishful words."
"I have read Zhang Gong's memorials and articles over the years, but I am not much more intelligent than the new meaning of the Three Classics."
Cheng Hao knew that Sima Guang had the habit of "reading all the works of his opponents", and Sima Guang was very familiar with Wang Anshi's "New Meaning of the Three Classics".
Cheng Hao asked: "Can you keep the horse protection law temporarily?"
Sima Guang turned the railway firmly: 'It will be abolished!'
"Can Baojia not be abandoned?"
"It must be abandoned."
Cheng Hao really couldn't bear to say, "You can't even get rid of the law of exemption from service!"
Sima Guang remained calm: "It will be abandoned!"
Cheng Hao couldn't help but stand up. Sima Guang's granite head really couldn't make a word.
Seeing that Cheng Hao was about to go, Sima Guang said, "I have lived in 15 years and I have only wanted to have a single scattered official, but the Empress Dowager summoned me back to the court and wanted to use it as the minister of the disciple!"
"But I have been confused and many stories have been forgotten over the years. Although the new method is like a wall, now I know only three or four hundred and four of the sergeants and officials in the court."
"I am like a yellow leaf in the strong wind, shaking!"
When Sima Guang said this, Cheng Hao saw that his teeth were falling off and his body was as thin as firewood. He was really like a yellow leaf trembling in the autumn wind. How could he have a few days to live?
Cheng Hao thought that he had been with Sima Guang for decades, and that the other party was worthy of his lifelong learning, regardless of character and knowledge. However, why is this abolishing the new law so stubborn and unreasonable?
"Mingdao, stay here and help me."
Cheng Hao said: "If the Duke can listen to me, I will help him."
Sima Guang smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay."
Cheng Hao knew that Sima Guang had not answered, so he had to leave the mansion and go to the mansion of Mr. Lu, which happened that Zhang Zhi was also in the Lu Mansion.
Cheng Hao said everything about Sima Guang's intention, and both of them sighed.
Cheng Hao said: "Mr. Sima asked me to tell Mr. Lu that he said that you were too silent and that if you didn't rise up, you would be tainted with the new party. He said all his words were in the letter."
Mr. Lu shook his head with a bitter smile.
Zhang looked straight at his father-in-law and thought that his father-in-law was originally the official family as the purpose of disturbing each other, so he was at peace in the court.
Although he has opposed Zhang Yue a lot in recent years, he has become a new party in Sima Guang's eyes as he stirred up the situation today.
In fact, Lu Gongzhe also partially abolished the new law, but in Sima Guang's eyes, as long as you keep it a little, you will all be in the ranks of the "New Party".
Mr. Lu looked at Sima Guang's letter and shook his head and said, "Even if the court wants to change the situation, it needs to have skills. The Qingmiao method is to eliminate the problem of suppressing the situation, and exempting the service is even better! However, Mr. Sima said that the method of exempting the service is a difficult problem for all generations."
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but get angry after hearing this. The law of exemption from military service was the hard work of Han Jiang, Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue, which actually became a trouble for all generations in Sima Guang's eyes.
It's simply unreasonable.
If Zhang Yue, who was rushing to Bianjing, knew that Sima Guang planned to abolish all new laws, including his hard-working law of exemption from service, I wonder what he thought.
Chapter completed!
