The two hundred and sixtieth chapters of the ancestors are not enough
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers said loudly again, holding the scepter, moving their feet together, and standing in two rows.
Tangerine hugged the dust and said routinely: "Report the matter!"
There is a quiet place in the hall.
The new law was revived at this moment, but at this juncture, whether it was the "old party" or the "new party", the mentality was so complicated that it was hard to describe.
Su Song, Han Zongdao and others held the scepter and their faces were calm. They could feel a lot of gazes, but they had no reaction.
Their "old party" is an absolute minority in this court, with a full plan, and more than 60 people are only a matter of one hand. As the general trend is, whatever they do and say here is just a futile situation!
Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others were the most excited. It was twenty-five years since Xining left now, and there were too many experiences. After Wang Anshi stopped the prime minister, the "New Law School" went down. Then in the Yuanyou Dynasty, the "old party" launched an unprecedented "poetry case" and was often held in succession, expelling all the "new party" out of the court.
The "New Party" was in a desperate situation. Although it was still struggling, facing the continuous suppression of the "old Party" power led by Empress Dowager Gao, the "New Party" was almost desperate after seven years.
Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Gao, who had changed her son by turning around, was suddenly strongly rebounded by Emperor Yuanyou, caught off guard and lost his authority and was forced to withdraw the curtain and return the power.
Whether Emperor Yuanyou was retaliating against Empress Dowager Gao’s oppression, refusing to return to power, or bullying the “old party”, or really wanting to reform, the “new party” doesn’t care. They were extremely eager to continue their unfinished careers many years ago!
Many things flashed before Zhang Dun's eyes, including Wang Anshi the most, the one who was worried about the country and the people, was strict with himself, and was both a teacher and a friend.
Now Wang Xianggong is still covered in dirt, and he is slandered from beginning to end. He is simply not a person, but a demon crawling out of hell. From ancient times to the present, it seems that no one has been slandered to such an extent!
Zhang Dun's eyes were red, and countless thoughts surged in his heart. The resentment was hard to suppress. His face twitched, and he suddenly withdrew one foot, raised his scepter and was about to speak.
"His Majesty!"
Before he opened his mouth, Cai Bian on his right hand went to take the lead. Cai Bian looked calm, held the scepter and said loudly: "The late emperor has been committed to eliminating bad policies and benefiting the people of the Song Dynasty. He still misses him at the end of his life. Please ask Your Majesty to take the lead in the new law with his son."
Shaoshu means inheritance, inheriting what his ancestors do.
Cai Bian is Wang Anshi's son-in-law and is highly valued by Wang Anshi. He is Wang Anshi's right-hand man. His feelings for Wang Anshi are deeper than Zhang Dun.
When Zhang Dun saw it, he withdrew his feet.
More than 60 people in the hall looked at Cai Bian and Zhao Xu.
Cai Bian's move broke the originally planned order of the North Korean meeting.
Zhao Xu's throat was itchy, he wanted to cough, and his face became hot. Even if he didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his face should be a little pale.
Zhao Xu could understand what Cai Bian said. He glanced at Su Song, Zhang Dun and others, and then swept over the ministers. Seeing everyone waiting with breath and concentration, he smiled slightly and said, "Li Qingchen."
Li Qingchen, with a thin horn, looked solemn and raised his hand and said, "I'm here."
This person married Han Zhongyan's cousin.
Zhao Xu sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Go forward and announce the order."
"Abide by the order." Li Qingchen stepped forward and handed over the imperial edict prepared by Chen Pi to Li Qingchen.
Li Qingchen took it with all his heart, then saluted Zhao Xu, turned around and held the order with one hand, walked forward two steps, and looked at the ministers with bright eyes.
"Due to the decree." Li Qingchen said loudly.
Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others looked at it with a slightly complicated expression. Although the procedures were disrupted, it was nothing to those of them who were old in the officialdom.
"I will receive the order!" More than 60 people all held up their scepters and said.
Li Qingchen spread out the imperial edict and said in a clear and ups and downs, "I am only obeying the order of Jun, Jing admires the former king, and considers loyal and filial ministers, and there are descendants of the substitute for the magistrate..."
This edict was drafted by Li Qingchen. Although the words were so difficult, they still inherited the will of the late emperor and launched the "Xining Law" again.
This is a formal "edict", a constitution of heaven and the supreme law!
The decree was not long, and Li Qingchen quickly finished it and said loudly: "...the ministers are dedicated to their hearts, the people depend on, the sun and the moon are the leaders, and the heaven and the earth are all used to learn from this!"
"I will receive the order." The ministers held up the scepter and straightened their waists.
Zhao Xu sat on the chair, and could vaguely hear the rapid gasps and even the thumping heartbeat.
Zhao Xu also took a deep breath. After preparing for so much, he finally landed on the ground after so long.
"The second one." Zhao Xu said, suppressing the itching in his throat and trying his best to keep his calm voice.
Chenpi picked up the second imperial edict and handed it to Li Qingchen.
Li Qingchen was stunned and subconsciously took it.
The ministers below were even more stunned and looked at the "second edict" in Li Qingchen's hand for some unknown reason. They actually knew the normal procedures formulated by the Political Affairs Hall. Cai Bian broke them first, but now the officials are not playing according to common sense?
Everyone was stunned for a moment and quickly returned to the normal order of the imperial edict.
Li Qingchen spoke, and the lower one raised his hand to receive the order.
"I have received the order of Haotian, and I have been the best to succeed the throne. When I was young, I was trembling and walking on thin ice. I have kept my previous dynasty and looked at the gains and losses of a hundred years. The sages of the previous dynasty are clear, and I have hundreds of millions of subjects know all... However, the powerful ministers abusing power, humiliating the ancestors, bullying the people, usurping the politics of the ancestors, and destroying the foundations of all generations... Now I have introduced the new law, hoping that all ministers will respect the laws and regulations, abide by their duties, do not rely on virtue, do not show off their power, and give up their selfish thoughts with the heart of the great prince... I will inform the world and let them know."
Li Qingchen was reciting the imperial edict and his expression became more serious.
This edict was almost named by name and pointed out the names of Sima Guang and others. Who was Sima Guang? He was the leader of the "Three Sages" praised by everyone in the "old party", a great scholar who respects all over the world, and a famous Aoxianggong!
Su Song and others held up the scepter, silently.
Sima Guang abolished the "Xining Law" of Emperor Shenzong. From the perspective of etiquette, he was indeed unfaithful and unfilial.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are actually very similar. Wang Anshi is determined to reform, and no one can say it. He is knowledgeable and has written books to make a statement. He is a great scholar of his generation. He has extremely strict requirements on himself and has almost nothing to criticize.
Of course, the criticism of picking the bones in the egg is another matter.
Sima Guang affirmed that the "New Law" was a disaster for the world, and insisted on abolishing it from beginning to end, and when he got the opportunity, he really abolished it without hesitation. At that time, the "New Party" was still entrenched in the court, and countless pressures came, and he insisted on abolishing it.
These two "supervised husbands" have similarities. Wang Anshi's reforms violated the ancestral system, which is the biggest pain point of the criticism of the "old party".
Sima Guang abolished the "new law" and faced the same problem. The former emperor was also the ancestor. How could the later ministers change it?
Wang Anshi's reform can be said to have given a justification, that is, the very bold "three nos": the changes in heaven are not worth fearing, the ancestors are not worth law, and people's words are not worth caring!
Sima Guang used the name of the Empress Dowager: changing his son with his mother.
In fact, both of them are reforming the law. One has changed the old law, that is, the ancestor's law; the other has changed the new law and restored the old law. The things are the same, and the reasons are different, which also shows the difference in the fundamental position of the two.
