Chapter 83 Thoughts
The plan of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu now puts Wang Jinghui and Su Shi on the plan. The two people have a faint sense of competing with each other, and their writing styles are also very different. Su Shi is passionate about his arguments, while Wang Jinghui is restrained and steady. If he hadn't known that "the river flows eastward" was written by Wang Jinghui in the cabinet examination, Zhao Shu almost reversed the plan of the two people.
After Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne, he was incompatible with the empress dowager, withdrew his curtain and ruled, Pu contests, fight against disasters and epidemic prevention, and after the Guo Kui incident, his mind was much more calm than when he was forced to ascend the throne, and his political experience was much more mature. Now he was recognized by the ministers of Renzong's era. Yingzong Zhao Shu, who took out a lot of troubles, is now more concerned about how to solve the problems that the Song Dynasty has accumulated over the long-term bad policies. If these problems are solved, it will definitely be a major operation for the Song Dynasty. Although both inside and outside the court and the country now believe that it is necessary to eliminate bad policies, they also hold two completely different attitudes towards this. In the court, the prime minister Han Qi, Privy Councilor Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu and others all believe that the Song Dynasty needs slow treatment like a terminally ill patient; what is generally held in the opposition is Su Shi's "sudden change" attitude of "hard treatment is needed".
In the mind of Yingzong Zhao Shu, he was not very satisfied with both attitudes. After all, the shortcomings of both sides were obvious. If the "sudden change" fails, it would become a disaster in the blink of an eye. The consequences were unpredictable, and the risks and benefits were disproportionate. Yingzong was not a young man, so he kicked out the "sudden change" first: "Slowly plotting it" made him very worried about the current situation of the Song Dynasty, especially in the financial aspects. The prime minister Han Qi has shown a red card to him many times, and even his beloved daughter would be restricted. Can this not make him breathe? However, this time, the discussion between Wang Jinghui and Su Shi proposed a "sunny and summer theory" with a clear view. Moreover, he was very stable in his foothold. Without a better idea and satisfied with Wang Jinghui's consistent performance, Zhao Shu was still very satisfied with his "sunny and summer theory".
Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu handed Su Shi's strategy to Han Qi, who was standing beside him, and said, "When I was still a prince in the vassal residence, I heard about Su Zizhan's talent. After reading the articles of Su Shi's brothers, Emperor Renzong also said: "For the future generations, he has obtained two prime ministers. Now, his talent is indeed true. I also want to imitate the Tang Dynasty stories and summon him to Hanlin. I am the master of making imperial edicts. What do you think? "
Prime Minister Han Qi said: "Su Zizhan is a great talent in the world. In the future, he should use it for the whole world and must be trained in the court. In this way, no one will have any objections to this as an official for a long time. If the emperor suddenly promotes him today, he probably may not all of the scholars in the world agree with it. Such promotion may be detrimental to him."
After hearing Han Qi's words, Yingzong Zhao Shu pondered for a long time. Han Qi was also hinting in his words that he should not have another Guo Kui. So he nodded and said, "Han Xiang's words are reasonable, so what should I tell Su Shi to make a living?"
Prime Minister Han Qi thought about it and said, "It is not easy to accept the notes and edicts adjacent to the edict; it is better to let him do a post in the museum and call for an exam, which is the most appropriate way."
After hearing this, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Just do what you said!" After that, he picked up Wang Jinghui's strategy from the imperial desk and said, "Suang Han, look at the strategy of the prince consort and Su Shi's strategy of the strategy of the plan, which one is better?"
Han Qi smiled and said, "I want to congratulate the emperor on his talented son-in-law. I think the prince-in-law and Su Shi are not distinguished from the literary talent. But the prince-in-law is better than Su Shi in his talent. The old minister thinks that the so-called "sudden change" is really a dangerous move for military operations. If there is any mistake, it will hurt the foundation of the country. I would ask which talent in the world can do this way of governing the country without losing it? I am afraid that the Martial Arts are trembling as if walking on thin ice again! Although the prince-in-law's writing is not as passionate as Su Zizhan's writing, it is a scholar's motivation after all. On the other hand, the prince-in-law's writing is refreshing when he opens the minister, and his strategy and speech are also a mature plan. Looking at this article, we can see that the prince-in-law is well-versed in Zhang Chi's way. Why don't the prince-in-law invite the prince-in-law to come to the palace to deal with it, so that the minister can solve his doubts?"
Prime Minister Han Qi has experienced two dynasties and has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades. He knows the current crux of the country, but he has no good plans to solve it. Everyone knows that the change should be made, but who can think of the mystery in the middle? In his opinion, the method of "sudden change" can be equivalent to Shang Yang's reform. Not to mention the miserable end of Shang Yang's ending of five horses being dismembered for this, even if Qin unified the world, it was forgotten by the second generation. The Legalists' things were really unreliable in his eyes. However, officials who had a "slow-forward" attitude such as Ouyang Xiu did not come up with any better way to deal with the current situation of the Song Dynasty.
Watching the country's vitality fade day by day. The "cold and summer" of the son-in-law Wang Jinghui seems to be a bit arguing, but judging from the contact between Han Qi and Wang Jinghui, he knows that his adopted son and son-in-law are in his heart. Since he can write such a policy, he probably already has many ideas in his heart. However, what has always made Han Qi feel a little regretful is that such a talent is willing to keep the bright future of winning the position, but he likes the princess of Shu to be the son-in-law. Not only will he not reach the peak of his career, but he will be subject to the concerns of the ministers in the future and will be upset and ups and downs.
When Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu heard the prime minister Han Qi praise the prince-consort, he was also very happy: he did not expect that his children prepared birthday gifts for him, but he picked up a resourceful prince-consort. Zhao Shu immediately said to the eunuch next to him: "King Ying is here to meet him!"
When King Ying and Zhao Xu came to the Princess' Mansion to look for Wang Jinghui, he saw the princess of Shu Kingdom and his students listening to Wang Jinghui talk about the matter of Huai Bing, a monk from Zhending Mansion who was given purple clothes by his father two months ago, and was curious and listened to him without interrupting his brother-in-law.
In April, the eight iron cows weighing tens of thousands of pounds used by Hezhong Prefecture to fix the floating bridge were rushed to where they were because the river water surged. Hezhong Prefecture offered a reward for capable people to salvage the iron cow. The monk Huai Bing used two large ships to fill the soil to fix the iron cow, and then dumped the soil into the river. The iron cow was salvaged. After Zhang Tao, the transferee, learned about this, reported to the court, and then gave the monk Huai Bing purple to express his merits.
After Wang Jinghui learned about the story of the monk Huai Bing, he took it for the children to use as a case, taught the chapters on buoyancy in "Theory of Things", plus the story of Cao Chong calling the elephant, so that the children could learn the knowledge of calculating buoyancy. In Wang Jinghui's opinion, the ancients were very smart. But one thing was that they were not good at scientifically summarizing the internal laws of things, and always recorded scientific and technological knowledge by solving exercises. This greatly affected the possibility of its spread. Of course, Wang Jinghui's disciples could not follow this old path, so they had to teach them to use scientific quantitative calculations to analyze and solve problems.
These things have never been exposed to by King Ying Zhao Xu and Princess of Shu Kingdom. Especially the story of Cao Chong's elephant is widely circulated among the scholar class. But now after Wang Jinghui explained the principle, the mysterious veil was unveiled, which makes people suddenly understand. Interestingly interesting, but Zhao Xu came here this time to follow the will of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu. After Wang Jinghui finished his class, the three returned to the study, and Zhao Xu also explained the purpose of his visit to Wang Jinghui. However, Wang Jinghui said to Zhao Xu: "Your Highness, this matter involves the country and the country, and I dare not be in trouble before the saint.
Besides, the discussion between me and Su Zizhan is just a normal discussion between two literati. There are many places that are contrary to the way of governing the country. Although it seems to be a good suggestion, you can know that it is not feasible when you truly govern the country, so you cannot take it seriously. The emperor summoned the minister to the palace and entered the right direction. The minister's words and actions will have an impact on the master's governance strategy. I must carefully consider it before giving the master a more stable suggestion. I also ask His Highness to go to the master to speak for him on behalf of the minister. How about the minister's mistake when he enters the palace three days later?”
After hearing this, King Ying Zhao Xu felt a little regretful. Because every time he came here to ask Wang Jinghui for some solutions, he could almost get a relatively mature answer on the spot. However, when he thought about what Wang Jinghui said, it made a lot of sense, so he did not continue to ask. Zhao Xu saw that his sister and Wang Jinghui finally had lovers and finally got married. He was newlywed and very loving. He was also very happy and said, "Please rest assured, the prince consort will be. After I go back, I will naturally explain it to my father clearly. It doesn't matter two days later. However, when the prince consort entered the palace this time, my mother asked me to ask if there are any mirrors here. The six mirrors sent to the palace are not enough!"
Wang Jinghui looked at the princess of Shu with a wry smile. Zhao Qianyu said to Ying Wang Zhaoxu with a smile: "Brother Wang, it took a month to change the glass mirror. The mirror has not been made yet. You can take four pieces from me and send them to the palace for the mother and the queen mother to respond to the emergency. Two pieces are enough."
Wang Jinghui said on the side, "Your Highness, when the method of making this glass mirror is acquired, I will take it with you together when you are a saint after the heavens. However, I also ask the priest to choose the production location. I think the island that makes gunpowder is just right, so I will build the workshop on that island, which is conducive to keeping the production secret of this mirror. Women in the world love beauty. This mirror is the best item to check their appearance. Manager Li said that it can be sold for 10,000 yuan per piece. This income is just right to solve the financial stress of the court and save the people from raising taxes. Qianyu, there are some checkers, military flags and other small things at home for His Highness Ying to take away, and just take it into the palace to help the empress dowager and the queen to relieve the boredom."
"I heard that in order to keep the secret of the mirror, the Venetians put the production location of the mirror on an island, but now it can be used. The Venetians were too cruel back then. 150,000 francs would definitely be more expensive than I sold for 10,000 cents. They should not attract all kinds of horses, right?" Wang Jinghui thought with a funny look.
After seeing off King Zhao Xu of Ying, Wang Jinghui and his wife played cards in the study, but his mind was not on playing cards. After a while, he was killed and abandoned his armor and put on a note on his face, which made the princess of Shu laugh. The princess of Shu knew that Wang Jinghui was not on the game at this time, so he asked: "Mr. Concubine, what are you thinking? Is it because the emperor wants you to enter the palace and enter the right person?"
Wang Jinghui pulled her over, put the princess of Shu on her lap, slapped her delicate little nose and said, "Yes! The Song Dynasty is full of ills now. If it does not change, the situation will be even worse in the future. Look at Lao Han's stingy look when we got married, you will know how nervous the finances are!"
The princess of Shu felt a little funny when her husband called the prime minister and his adoptive father Han Qi the old Han, and said, "How could you call Han Xiang like that? You don't know how to respect others at all, let alone your adoptive father!"
Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "What should you do if you call me? Even if I passed the top scorer at that time, I might not be able to let the emperor ask you to betrothed to me. Only by worshiping Lao Han as his adoptive father and going to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to match him, he is the best lobbyist. For this reason, I won't call him Lao Han. I will call him Dad, thanks to him, we can be together!"
The princess of Shu was amused and laughed out loud after hearing this. She said, "You are really full of bad ideas. How can you enter the palace and make you so embarrassed?"
Wang Jinghui said, "It's hard! This painting of Song Dynasty is not a blank paper. The emperor and the big boss in the court are not troublesome to them. But as long as you neglect, the people below will suffer. Therefore, you must be cautious when entering the palace to meet the saint, otherwise I will become a sinner of the people?! Now we need to change, but there are too many people involved in this movement and silence. Your husband has many ways, but how dare you talk randomly? Maybe it will make the heavens angry and the others angry, and will it defeat my wisdom for a lifetime?!"
When Wang Jinghui said this, he thought of the land king Anshi in history. No matter how wrong this old guy is, he is enough to admire his courage to reform: the road of reform is like a path of underworld. One bad thing is that he will never be restored. The identity of this son-in-law is worthless at such an occasion. Didn’t the land king of the son-in-law be repaired in history? So Wang Jinghui seemed particularly cautious in this matter.
The princess of Shu realized that her husband did have many ways in his heart, but this kind of moment was not a time to show off. The temporary pleasure would not only cause her to suffer, but also the people would suffer. She was not only moved by her husband's thoughtfulness and cherishing the people, but also hugged Wang Jinghui tightly and said softly: "The father and the emperor value you very much. They hope you can come up with a good way to make me revival in the Song Dynasty. Only after you say this, I realized that there are many dangers. Husband, you must think about it carefully!"
After hearing this, Wang Jinghui kissed her forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry. Your husband, I will be careful, but being careful does not mean being afraid of things. I still have to come. Now there are more than ten methods to solve the bad political situation of the Song Dynasty. The key is to carefully verify whether these methods can really be applied to the Song Dynasty today. It is not possible to take it in my head. The reason why I didn't follow King Ying to meet the saint today is that I am afraid that the saint will get hot in the head. The result of my rash behavior is not only that I am unlucky.
Even the emperor will lose his reputation. You must be careful about the words of all officials, so you have to ask for a three-day period. It is not too late to go to meet the saint after you have figured out some things. [] I may have to be busy these days, and I don’t care about you anymore. Don’t you often go to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager and the queen? Take the little tricks I made with you, and let them play with you in the palace, and also make my mother-in-law happy. Speaking of which, I am not qualified, and I haven’t made her happy for such a long time…”
Seeing such a careful and cautious husband, what else can the princess of Shu Kingdom say? Holding Wang Jinghui in his ear, singing softly: "I want to be old, I swear to be old, I will stay together forever in this life..."
After the princess of Shu walked out of the study, Wang Jinghui took a quill pen in his hand and drew it randomly on paper. It was easier said than done. He knew that all the laws of Wang Anshi's reform in history, although those were proven to be unworkable, they still have some reference value. Change society? It is not easy to say. Just as he and the princess of Shu said, if one is bad, it will be doomed. Thinking about the ending in Wang Anshi's history is pretty good. Most of the reformers have followed Shang Yang's footsteps. Wang Anshi's courage is indeed worthy of his admiration. No matter what, as a future person, he cannot show his courage in such a situation. This really makes Wang Jinghui feel ashamed.
The quill in his hand had already scratched the manuscript paper on the desk, and Wang Jinghui still had no idea. Perhaps it was because of the failure of Wang Anshi's reform in history that he had never been so helpless. In addition to Wang Anshi's personal factors, there were many reasons for his failure in Xining's reform. Wang Jinghui carefully passed the history of his reform in his mind. When it was late at night, the princess of Shu brought him a bowl of lotus seed soup for him to drink. He was not able to sweep his wife's interest, so he put down his sorrow and drank the lotus seed soup under the concern of the princess of Shu.
