"The so-called peace and stability is not without contradictions, but just temporarily abandoning the contradiction or hiding the contradiction deeper! Mr. Jiefu and Mr. Junshi are the world's most outstanding people. They met as early as when they were in the group club. They had a deep personal relationship for decades. Although they had conflicts, they were politically conflicted due to different strategies for reviving the Song Dynasty. This is completely different from the contradiction between the followers of the two. You must not be confused!" Wang Jinghui picked up the tea cup and blew the tea on it gently and took a sip. However, he thought that there was no good tea in Chuzhou. If you want to drink the famous teas from later generations now, you must step up the popularization of hand-fried tea technology and eliminate the steamed green tea technology represented by Longfeng Tuan Tea. Longfeng Tuan Tea was too expensive. Even officials like Sima Guang could not drink it frequently in the past.

"Isn't that a party struggle?! The Han and Tang dynasties' party struggles are still far from the lessons of the country. What do you think about this change?" Zhao Xu frowned and said. Today, Wang Jinghui entered the palace for the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu to check his body. Although Zhao Shu still cannot get out of bed and walk, his upper body can already sit up, write and speak.

After the treatment, Emperor Zhao Xu invited Wang Jinghui to enjoy the spring in the garden of the palace. To put it bluntly, he talked about political affairs. After going to Funing Palace for too many times, Wang Jinghui always came back to complain to his wife that it was too serious. After reaching the ears of Emperor Zhao Xu, in order to take care of his number one favorite minister, the two of them often changed to have relaxed conversations in the imperial garden. After this, after being influenced by the son-in-law, even Emperor Zhao Xu began to like this kind of casual meeting method, but he did not have such treatment for Wang Anshi and other ministers, after all, his dignity must be maintained.

The health of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu gradually improved, which was a very big improvement. After several months of continuous acupuncture, medicine application and other traditional Chinese medicine methods, Wang Jinghui and the Imperial Doctor were treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, in order to make his wife happier, he could see a walking father. Wang Jinghui drew several drawings and sent someone to make them. These things were specially used for recovery treatment for patients with paralyzed legs.

Not only that, he also designed a multi-functional wheelchair, made by skilled craftsmen in the palace. The things used by the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor were simply made into works of art, which made Wang Jinghui feel a little distressed. However, seeing the princess of Shu often pushing the wheelchair to take Zhao Shu to see the scenery in the imperial garden, I felt much more relieved.

"The emperor is familiar with history books. Have you ever seen any dynasty and dynasty in which courts are all full of Wei Zheng and Zhuge?" Although Wang Anshi has not instilled his theory in recent years, he used the technique of extermination and punishment for the "villains" in the court, under Wang Jinghui's gaze, Emperor Zhao Xu immediately threw this set of words out of the sky, after all, history is brightly placed there.

Emperor Zhao Xu shook his head, and Wang Jinghui continued, "The emperor remembers what I said about the 'what profit is'? In fact, as long as there is a benefit, the ministers in the court will unknowingly form small groups of various interests, and fight for the common interests of the group and argue. For the sake of interests, ministers may have given up their past grudges and tied them together! Although forming cliques for the benefit of the ministers seems to be a hidden danger to the court, it is impossible to completely eliminate them. I have thought about this for a long time. I thought it would be better to be cleared than to block them!"

"I've read Mr. Ouyang Yongshu's "On the Party"? As you said, isn't that a villain gathering place in the court?!" Emperor Zhao Xu looked at him with a smile.

In the third year of Qingli, Fan Zhongyan and other reformists came to power, which caused attacks from conservatives. At that time, Ouyang Xiu wrote "On the Fraternity" to refute their attacks and slander. What Zhao Xu said just now was a sentence that "When they share the same benefits, the temporary party will be a false one."

Wang Jinghui naturally read "Theory of Fellowship", and in the time and space of his past life, this is included in the famous chapters in "Gu Wen Guanzhi". Wang Jinghui seemed to see his grandfather holding a ruler in his hand to check the scene of his reciting this article. However, the person in front of him was the emperor, so he naturally could not be distracted for too long. He immediately woke up and said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang Yongshu's "Theory of Fellowship", I have naturally read it, but the emperor seems to have taken it out of context, but he does not know that "gentlemen and gentlemen are friends with their fellow men"!

For example, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others all fought for the rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty. In the process of realizing the land, there were gentlemen and villains who followed them!"

Wang Jinghui also used the words in "On the Fraternity" to dispel Zhao Xu's doubts. The statement of party has been made public in later generations, and even there are different factions within the same party, which is well known to those who have been hyped in later TV news. Today, the nature of Emperor Zhao Xu is good, which is entirely due to the performance of Sima Guang and Wang Anshi at the just-concluded Zhongshu Conference. Wang Jinghui knew that the political differences between the two were almost irreconcilable. As long as Wang Anshi still launched a new law like in the early years of Xining in history, when he was in office, the new laws were gushed out one after another, which would definitely make Sima Guang angry, so he poured cold water on Emperor Zhao Xu first to cool down. He did not expect that the retreat east and west would be to discuss such a profound issue as the party.

You should know that "party struggle" is a very taboo topic in the minds of ancient emperors. Although as emperors, they also had to use political means to promote the balance of forces in the court, such a game was too profound for Wang Jinghui. He immediately changed the topic and said: "Master, if the two gentlemen Wang Anshi and Sima Guang want to continue to be consistent, they must also specify a clear goal for them, so that they can do this with one heart and one virtue!"

"Oh?" Emperor Zhao Xu looked at Wang Jinghui in confusion. He didn't know why the prince-consort was so sure that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi would definitely collapse, but he knew that the prince-consort's prophecy had always been very accurate, and he was not only worried. According to Wang Jinghui's many exchanges with him before, although the prince-consort did not point it out clearly, he clearly implied that if the two ministers under his command split up, the court would definitely be in a mess, and the emergence of party struggles was inevitable. Zhao Xu thought about this carefully, it was not completely unreasonable. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi both had high prestige in the court and in the Shilin. The chances of such a thing were really amazing, and he didn't want to see internal strife.

"What do you think about me now?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked. His excitement in his heart just now was shaken by Wang Jinghui because of the success of the Secretariat Conference. "Since the prince consort sees the problem, there must be a solution to the problem!" This is the conclusion that Emperor Zhao Xu got when he got along with Wang Jinghui for a long time. Although the prince consort sometimes proposes solutions to the problem, it is always possible to prevent problems before it happens.

"Sir, I believe that Mr. Jiefu will definitely draft a lot of new laws and regulations. I guess it will be submitted to His Majesty and the Ministers of the Secretariat in the past few days for reading and reference. Mr. Jiefu has repeatedly stated, 'The current court officials have been following the customs, and no thunder cannot cleanse the peace! Now the common people are immersed in a century of peace, and no thunder cannot recover the hearts of the people!' It is estimated that this series of new laws and regulations may become the thunder of the Song Dynasty. But I think Sima Jun is really worried about this, and in fact, I don't agree with doing this in my heart!"

"Oh? Mr. Jiefu has the idea of ​​implementing reforms in a 'storm'. When I was the crown prince in Yingdi, I also discussed it with Mr. Jiefu many times. I also deeply agree with this. Why do you have any concerns about it?"

Wang Jinghui said: "The court generally maintained the local pattern for a century, which will naturally hinder the reform. But more importantly, the vested class of interests under the old pattern will definitely not accept Mr. Jiefu's use of "storm and rain" overnight to seize their interests, so he will inevitably fight back. The minister and the princess love to cook. There is a dish that the emperor has definitely not eaten before: put the pot in clear water, cook the loach and tofu on a low heat, and the loach will drill into the tofu because the temperature of the water gradually rises, and finally be cooked silently into the dish. This is just a little cooking experience of me. Maybe the emperor can use it."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Xu was silent for a while. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Good, you Wang Jianzhi, it's wonderful!

Wonderful! Wonderful! But what should I do? My dear also knows that Mr. Jiefu’s temper doesn’t seem to be very good, so I would like to teach me!"

"The new laws and regulations introduced by Mr. Jiefu must be for the benefit of the people, but they are easy to break. In the early stage of the reform, we should do things that will not cause too much controversy, and achieving certain results will lead to confidence in the new law. If we vigorously erode the interests of the old conservative forces, even if the dispute can be calmed down in the future, the new law has been exhausted. I hope that before Mr. Jiefu introduces the new laws and regulations, he and Mr. Junshi can work together to do things that do not touch the interests of the old forces, so that the two can understand each other's views in the process of doing things together. Increase understanding and lay the foundation for the beginning of the real reform in the future!"

"Yeah!" Emperor Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this and said, "Your dear is reasonable. If you enter the reform one day later, then the Song Dynasty will be one day later. Is this worth doing? Besides, what is the reason for not touching the interests of the old forces?"

"Sage, reform is a long-term process. It is not a year or two after the reform is implemented that the Song Dynasty can sweep the west and destroy the Khitan in the north. The Song Dynasty has been conservative for a hundred years and has suffered many bad policies, just like a terminally ill patient. He must restore a certain amount of vitality before he can give Mr. Jie Fu's "hard medicine". The three main bad policies in the Song Dynasty today are redundant officials, redundant expenses, and redundant soldiers."

Wang Jinghui picked up three stones and placed them on the stone table in the imperial garden. The eunuch next to him tactfully replaced both of them with tea cups. Wang Jinghui pointed to the three stones and said, "Mr. Jiefu's reforms are essentially innovating these three major bad policies." He picked up one of them and said, "This is a redundant official. The official structure of the Song Dynasty's 'stack bed and house' style made the administrative organization of the Song Dynasty very bloated. This is not counting. What's even more terrifying is that there will be ten or even dozens of people waiting to take office behind each position. In addition, the imperial examination system, the three-year fixed imperial examination system, the science examination system and Enmeng will produce a large number of officials. These officials are not only unable to work for the country, but also have to eat the salary of the court. This indirectly leads to another major problem - the birth of redundant fees."

Looking at the two pebbles in Wang Jinghui's hand, Emperor Zhao Xu could only sigh. It was not that he didn't want to be determined to be strong. The key was that this country was too big and he was too young. Although he handled government affairs until late at night every day, he still felt very helpless.

Wang Jinghui continued with two pebbles in his hand and said, "These two pebbles are the interests of all parties and are deeply entangled with each other. If they rashly start to reform this, they will only be humiliated. So the time is not yet ripe." He put down the two pebbles and picked up the last piece left and said:

"This is a redundant soldier, which involves the least interests, and the relationship behind the scenes is relatively simple. Moreover, the military expenditure of the Song Dynasty used to support a large number of soldiers every year was the biggest burden of the court."

A smile appeared on the face of Emperor Zhao Xu at this time. On the issue of the wing army, the civil and military ministers of the court naturally praised Wang Jinghui's achievements. The finances of the Song Dynasty have been initially effectively alleviated. Among them, Wang Jinghui's achievements in abolition of the wing army were of great success. How to abolition of the wing army is Wang Jinghui's specialty, so when Wang Jinghui mentioned the wing army, Emperor Zhao Xu had a smile on his face - the prince-in-law had just taken such a big bend. It was nothing more than laying the groundwork for continuing to abolition of the wing army.

"Does the prince-consort want Mr. Jiefu and Mr. Junshi to work together to reduce the wing army?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked with a smile.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Yes, the proportion of the government's finances consumed by this wing army is very large. The best thing is to reduce the wing army and not touch the old interests of others. In this way, the opposition will be smaller. Some ministers come to make suggestions and let the two gentlemen implement them with all their strength. I think the effect must be very good. As long as the reform of the wing army is successful, it will inevitably accumulate greater people to promote the reform!"

Wang Jinghui has carefully studied the reform regulations in Wang Anshi's history. In his opinion, improving the domestic situation must focus on the three major bad policies. Wang Anshi's reform regulations in history were just a "financial management". He hoped that the people and the court would become rich because of his reforms. In fact, he did not know but offended the most powerful landlord class in the country. In that way, he could get what benefits he could get. Even if he succeeded by luck, the three major bad policies of the Song Dynasty, which were redundant soldiers, redundant officials and redundant expenses, were still not well solved. He might be able to suppress it when he was alive. But in the end, it was just a waste of time.

Wang Jinghui hopes to solve the problem from the root and constantly accumulate small victories to big victories, so as not to get out of time when the so-called reform regulations come out and make people come to negotiate the emperor's enthusiasm, which is a mess. His model of digesting the wing soldiers in Chuzhou is a classic, and all the civil and military officials in the court praised him in his local methods, not only actually solved the problem of the wing soldiers being cut off.

It can also replenish part of the financial gap in the court, and the two sides will be millions of dollars!

If someone is proficient in history, you can know that Wang Jinghui took the lead in targeting the restructuring army. The biggest beneficiary was Wang Anshi. This alone could withstand most of the infamy for him, and also increase his prestige to a higher level. However, when Wang Anshi was summoned by Zhao Xu, he was not in a good mood to return home. Originally, when he was summoned to the palace today, he brought three laws of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Qingmiao Law, and were all-inclusive, and was ready to hand them over to Emperor Zhao Xu for review. Unfortunately, Zhao Xu had an in-depth conversation with Wang Jinghui yesterday. Today, he suddenly saw that Wang Anshi had three laws submitted to him. He couldn't help but admire Wang Jinghui's plan.

Emperor Zhao Xu carefully read the memorial presented by Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi himself explained beside him in Funing Hall. Because of his preconceived thoughts, Zhao Xu clearly saw that the Qingmiao Law and the Junhuo Law did indeed attack the inherent vested interest class, and thought to himself: "If the prince consort and Sima Junshi saw these three new laws and regulations, except for the farmland water conservancy law, the rest would be questioned by two people and even the civil and military officials of the court. In this way, the implementation of the new law would be really into disputes and shirks as the prince consort said."

Emperor Zhao Xu saw Wang Anshi's excited expression on his face and knew that his efforts to plan the new law were not easy, and he couldn't bear to negotiate his enthusiasm, so he agreed. However, before the trial, he must pass the review and discussion between the two provinces of Zhongshu and the two provinces.

Wang Anshi's reaction was not very good. He knew that he was not able to fully control the Secretariat, and the two provinces under the jurisdiction, and even the Censorate had several people staring at him. The power of the Sansi Regulations Department was too small and could not meet his requirements. Although Sima Guang promised to do his best to assist in the implementation of the reform, Sima Junshi and Wang Gaizhi had conditions: pick up the shortcomings and add them! This word is very particular and can be opposed and repaired. There will be changes in both time and original intention, which is what Wang Anshi least wants to see.

Just when Wang Anshi wanted to force the emperor to implement the new law, Emperor Zhao Xu told him: "Mr. Jiefu, this is a letter submitted by the prince consort yesterday. Do you have any suggestions?"
