As early as when everyone was still vague about the reform, Ouyang Bian had already seen the success and failure of the reform, and expected what problems would arise and who would stand up to oppose it... Everything was like a slightest, without any omissions!

Such wisdom is really desperate!

This is no wonder that Zhao Xu, a proud young man, felt so depressed.

The sixth year of Xining passed by in the bustling hustle and ushered in the seventh year of Xining amid the sound of firecrackers.

As early as before the Spring Festival, Zhao Xu announced that Wang Anshi would be dismissed from prime minister and would be appointed as the governor of Jiangning Prefecture.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the country were joking.

Merchants in Bianjing City opened the store door and started business again. A large amount of goods poured in from the dock.

After nearly a month of strike, the merchants suffered heavy losses and the court was not feeling well. The entire Bianjing City almost stopped.

However, this is acceptable compared to the consequences of the in-depth implementation of the Market Law.

At least Ouyang Bian believes it is worth it.

Wang Anshi came out to govern Jiangning Mansion, and the successor was Han Jiang, who was elected by Wang Anshi.

Cai Que was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, and Cai Jing was the governor of Xuzhou.

Lu Huiqing and others returned to their posts. This time, Lu Huiqing was not only appointed as the official of the Regulations of the Three Departments, but also appointed as the Chief Political Affairs Officer. His appointment was announced at the same time as Han Jiang's appointment.

In fact, this has already released Zhao Xu's attitude - Wang Anshi can leave, but my attitude towards reform will not change!

Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing were both on the side of the reform faction. Their appointment originally represented Zhao Xu's attitude. Although Wang Anshi was dismissed from prime minister, Wang Anshi's level was raised to level nine, and his treatment was extremely generous!

The book of the prefecture-making book uses Wang Anshi's own remarks, which gives him enough face.

But even so, some people still can't see the situation clearly.

Tianzhang Pavilion was waiting for the system, and the Hedong Transport Commander Li Shizhong made a judgment. He believed that Wang Anshi's withdrawal from prime minister meant a change in the country's route. Wang Anshi's reform route had come to an end, and the next step was probably to return to the previous policy.

Then, those who were exiled before opposing reforms should return to take charge of the work of the center, such as Lu Hui, Li Chang, Fan Zhen, Zhang Jian, Wang Zishao, Su Shi, etc.

Mr. Li’s mentality is actually easy to understand. He proposed to redirect these people back, and these people will be grateful to him in the future. This is equivalent to his political achievements and his path will be easier in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that he thought he was the number one smart person in the world, and in the end he was himself.

Zhao Xu was furious when he saw Li Shizhong's memorial, and directly rushed Li Shizhong to the end, and then took him to Hezhou for surveillance.

Ouyang Bian couldn't smile bitterly when he heard about this.

Mr. Li said he was confused. He knew he wanted to be kind, but he was smart, but he couldn't see the situation clearly. He just covered his head and went up.

In this confrontation, even those who were cleansed, Lu Hui, Zhang Jian, and Wang Zishao all went to various places to take office. It seemed miserable, but their lives were still free and easy.

But Li Shizhong was out of the matter throughout the process. When the matter came to an end, he suddenly spoke and became the worst one.

Others were demoted or became officials, but he became a prisoner.

It's miserable!

Ouyang Bian was shocked by it.

However, Li Shizhong's fate was not unfair, because a few days later, Zhao Xu expressed his attitude.

"I...... I... After eight years of this, I will make laws and regulations and publish them in all directions. All ancient kings are reviewed and used to refer to the strategies of the people and make them a decision.

...... Although I will never make any changes or illegal numbers, and I will abolish the law. We should make extensive plans and listen to those who violate the law. If there is no peace in the intervening period, the investigation will be completed and the deadline will be at the end of the day.

The scholars and officials are obsessed with it to commend my intentions. If they have nothing to do, they will be punished and will not forgive me if they dare not lead them."

The content of the edict can be summarized into four points:

First, all the laws in the past eight years have "defeated their will" and are my laws, not Wang Anshi's laws.

Second, the problem with the new law is not the new law itself, but the distortion in its implementation, but the "officials may violate the law."

Third, the new law can be improved but cannot be overturned.

Fourth, those who dare to violate the new law will be severely punished and unpardoned.

Of course, the so-called unsurpassable new laws refer to the exemption law, the equal-to-emission law, and the new laws that have been implemented and accepted by clearing the fields of Zhangzhang, and the horse protection law, Baojia law, and the market law were clearly abolished.

The spring of the seventh year of Xining is considered a brand new beginning.

However, new beginnings are not all good beginnings, and some are bad beginnings.

The beginning of the spring of the seventh year of Xining was later considered a bad start.

...

Spring rain is falling, Ouyang Xiu's cemetery is covered with cypresses, drizzle is like smoke and fog, which is magical. This is the so-called "Ou Tomb mist and rain".

Ouyang Bian stood in the thatched cottage, looking at the magical mist and rain outside, and diagonally opposite his vision was his father Ouyang Xiu's tomb.

There was a letter on the table.

The letter was written by Han Jiang.

"... Wang Jiefu came out to govern Jiangning, Cai Que came out to govern Yanzhou, and Cai Jing was the governor of Xuzhou... Prince Han was not satisfied.

After Li Shizhong, Xianggong Han wrote a letter asking to recall Lu Hui, Li Chang, Fan Zhen, Zhang Jian, Wang Zishao, Su Shi and others.

Of course, Mr. Han is not a confused person like Li Shizhong. He does not attack His Majesty's route, but is not easy for His Majesty to refuse in the name of normal mobilization.

In addition, Jiang Zhiqi, Li Ding and others are indeed villains and have been eliminated one by one.

Lu Hui was promoted to the Yintai Department, while Lu Gongzhu was adjusted to the Chief Censor of the Censor, and Su Shi was the Censor of the Supervisor.

Li Chang, Zhang Jian, Wang Zishao, Fan Zhen and others were not allowed to be transferred...

With many mobilizations, the Han Xianggong's gangsters are filled with the court again. I feel deeply uneasy. Although Jie Fu is far away from the center, I already feel that the next storm is about to start..."

Ouyang Bian smiled.

After Wang Anshi left, the court became calm?

It's naive.

The root lies not in Wang Anshi, nor in Zhao Xu, but in the fate of this country!

Now that the Western Xia, Liao, and Song dynasties are in power, the Song dynasty has no danger to defend, two big swords are chosen on the neck of Song and may be cut down at any time.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Song Dynasty can be defended for a while but not for a lifetime.

Now, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia have no spare energy to invade Song Kingdom because the domestic political situation is not stable.

Once they appear as a magnificent monarch and lead their troops south, it is another matter whether the Song Dynasty can defend it at that time.

As long as the Song Dynasty did not take back the land of Youyan in one day, it would not be able to sleep in peace for a day.

If Zhao Xu wants to become a promising king and want to cleanse the shame of his father Yingzong, he has to accomplish a great cause. Is there anything more prominent than taking back his old place?

If you want to take back your hometown and use force to take it back, it is naturally empty talk with the current strength of the Song Dynasty.

If you want to get your hometown back, you have to enrich the country and strengthen your troops. If you want to enrich the country and strengthen your troops, you have to reform. Once the reform is made, it will conflict with the conservative faction. This has nothing to do with whether Wang Anshi presided over the reform.

In fact, even if Ouyang Bian has a good impression of the conservative school, this situation will eventually happen.

Because as long as the law is reformed, it will definitely violate the interests of vested interests.

This is completely unsolvable.

Han Jiang's worry turned into Ouyang Bian's helplessness.

To be honest, Ouyang Bian feels that the reform has come to this point, at least economically enough.

Even Ouyang Bian felt his scalp numb when he was about to touch the next thing.

Because the next one is two hard bones.

One is the administration of officials, and the other is the reform of the army.

Someone would say that the Yuanfeng restructuring was successful under the auspices of Zhao Xu, and it did not seem to cause any unrest.

In Ouyang Bian's view, the Yuanfeng restructuring is just a change of shell, which is useless at all, and is even worse than not changing.

Let’s not talk about the influence of later generations or not, just talk about the main purpose of the present.

Ouyang Bian thought that the purpose of reforming the official system was to improve the efficiency of the bureaucratic system and to achieve the level of organizing the people, rather than changing the name and being completed, that's useless!

And military reforms make people feel even more numb.

The Northern Song Dynasty army was already terrible. To be honest, reforms are not pleasing to the point where they are terrible. In fact, it is more economical to directly lay off.

But it really cannot be sacked because the army will cause trouble!

The Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards were mixed in their hearts and outsiders, but they were quite good at fighting the outside world. Whether it was a rush to pay or a reward, each set was quite well-organized.

Until today, Ouyang Bian realized how naive the initial idea was.
