Everyone knows: It’s not his turn to speak. Finally one day, Shenzong asked Wang Anshi. Faced with the emperor’s panic, Wang Anshi was very calm. "Droughts and floods are inevitable, even the ancient saints Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang are inevitable. They are just natural phenomena. We do our best and don’t have to panic at all." In modern people’s eyes, Wang Anshi said nothing wrong. But in the eyes of Shenzong of Song, he was wrong and was very thorough! It can be said that this is the farthest difference in thinking between the king and the minister!

Wang Anshi's attitude further confirmed Zhao Xu's concern. How could a person who is not afraid of heaven be forgiven by heaven? Not only did people disagree with what he did in the past five years, but it seemed that even heaven opposed it... The emperor said: What I am afraid of is that we did not do our best, on the contrary, we all did something wrong!

So just a few days later, the new law was suddenly eliminated! A bolt from the blue! Wang Anshi was shocked, and he didn't know what went wrong. Even the entire New Party Group, including many negative characters such as Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Deng Wan, etc., did not find out who did what, and made all this a big deal! This exposed Wang Anshi and his group's biggest weakness - their low alertness and poor political means! Politics is not only about governing the country, but also governing people, it is about governing the world.

How to persecute people! Wang Anshi fell on this. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, he has held power for nearly five years. What authority is this? Looking at the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the previous prime ministers such as Zhao Pu and Lu Yijian served longer than him, but no one has achieved his authority as prime minister! To this extent, the new law with the same lifeline as his life was suddenly abolished, and I don’t know what happened! Is there anyone more stupid than this? Is there any prime minister who is more innocent and pure than him, who doesn’t mess with others?

The answer is related to a person guarding the city gate. This city gate official is famous in the history of the Song Dynasty. He even left his personal biography in the history of the Song Dynasty. His name is Zheng Xia.

Zheng Xia was a student of Wang Anshi. He was a Jinshi. He first served as a judicial officer in Guangzhou. Later, he was transferred to the capital, but his work was not very good, so he came to guard the city gate. At first, Wang Anshi valued this disciple very much, but now he is a firm counter-reformist!

At this time, the Central Plains drought was severe, and victims from all over the world rushed to the capital. Zheng Xia stood at the city gate and looked at it. He was skinny, uncovered, and the displaced victims were boundless. He suddenly felt "extremely painful". This was caused by Wang Anshi's new law! The victims were proof, and the drought was even more proof, even God was angry!

So he wrote a memorial to count the drawbacks of the new law. In the end, he claimed that he was "despised to death as if he was home": If the emperor asked the new law to be removed, it would rain from heaven! If he could not finish within 10 days, he asked the emperor to cut me off! In addition to the memorial, he also painted the suffering of millions of victims into a "Picture of Refugees". After writing the painting, Zheng Xia began to worry: How can the emperor see it? This is a problem... His position is too low, and if he takes a normal path, he must first be looked at by Prime Minister Wang Anshi? This is not possible! He thought of a good idea: first go outside Kaifeng City, claiming that this is a secret memorial, to speed up the Yima and send it to the Yintaisi!

So the emperor saw it at the first time that the 6-year-old young emperor was deeply shocked by the "Picture of Refugees". It is said that he never sleeps all night. The next morning on April 6th, the emperor and no one discussed it and ordered the nation to remove all new laws!

On that day, heavy rain...

On the 7th, all the court officials, including the new party and the old party, entered the palace to congratulate the emperor. It finally rained. Shenzong took out the "Picture of Refugees" and Zheng Xia's memorial for everyone to show. Everyone understood that this was the case. So Lu Huiqing, Deng Wan and other new party members cried in front of the emperor. In the end, except for Fang Tianjun's tax law being dismissed, the other new laws were temporarily restored...

On the 9th, Sima Guang, who was far away in Luoyang, Xijing, sent an urgent memorial to actively respond to the emperor's decree of guilt.

He summarized 6 items in total, with unique vision, and it is necessary to study them in detail to see how superb the famous and glorious Sima Master is:

1 "The money for green meadows is spreading, causing the people to be in debt more and more heavy, but the county magistrate has no income" - I wonder where he came to this conclusion? Well! Even if the people suffer so much because of the Qingmiao Law, the government has nothing to gain? Where did the money and silk in the sealed trough come from?

"Don't let the family get money from the lower households to support the vain" - It's inaccurate. The family gets exempted from the service, but you have to pay the money! If you really don't let the family get money from the upper households, you probably won't say anything. It's true that the money from the lower households can be collected, but you can be divided into taxes by households. As long as it is not someone with ulterior motives in the Dongming County incident deliberately confuses the level?

"The establishment of the Municipal Yishuo Department is to compete with the people for profit, but actually dissipate official goods" - the Municipal Yishuo Law is indeed contrary to private trade, which greatly curbed the high operation of free commerce in the Northern Song Dynasty. But it should be noted that this is of great benefit to the country's rapid accumulation of funds. Military expenditure, the most important issue, the old bastard actually chose to ignore it.

4 "China has invaded the four barbarians without governance, with less gains and more losses" - the most unbearable sentence is this sentence! It turns out that only by governing your own country perfectly can you go abroad and recover lost territory? In addition, the words "invasion" and "less gains and more losses" are good! As a master of history, you don't know what the relationship between Hehuang land and China is related?

5 "The team trains Baojia and teaches weapons to disturb the farmers" - it seems that the farmers' duty is farming, and all things such as swords and guns are prohibited from touching them to avoid becoming violent. Well! This idea is very good, and it coincides with the later Mongolians. It is best to let the farmers use a kitchen knife together, which is really "simple and cute, easy to raise".

6 "Those who believe in crazy and cunning people are promising water conservancy, and spend money on the people" - Speaking with numbers: From the 9th year of Xining, there were 1,079 places in the palace and other roads, with 61,178 hectares of land. These lands are fake? Where did the crazy and cunning people come from? How can they be said to be "promising water conservancy"

Do you need to say anything extra? I wish the old bastard good health and good food. He can live one more year longer than Wang Anshi, so that he can smash the great world of the Northern Song Dynasty like the jar he used to in his childhood...

Each one is not true, but each one has a huge cheer! After 5 years, someone finally said his heart for the scholar-official class who was once extremely glorious and now forced into a desperate situation. However, the heart is not the same as the true words. Few hearts speak entirely out of morality and conscience. For the sake of all, it is all about benefits!

So on the 19th, Wang Anshi was dismissed from prime minister. Han Jiang, another important member of the New Party, was appointed as prime minister. In addition to the original Feng Jing and Wang Gui, the "good god of guardianship" Lu Huiqing was also promoted to the chief political affairs. On the day before Wang Anshi was dismissed from prime minister, on the 18th, in April of the lunar calendar, there was a big hail...

Now let’s analyze: First, why was Shenzong shocked? It seems that I was talking nonsense, the victims were pitiful! But one thing is that Emperor Zhao Xu never left the capital in his life. In other words, he never saw the victims at all! Second, why did Zheng Xia be so excited? It was nonsense, the victims were pitiful! But if the new law offends the world, I will only ask one question: Is there any difference between the drought in the new law and the drought in the old law? The new law is "skinny, uncovered, and displaced." When the old law is the old law, everyone has a red face, wearing silk and satin, and driving a RV to travel? Seeing you, Zheng Xia’s living ghost! Have you lived so much that you have only seen a severe drought, and you have only seen this group of victims? Why didn’t you draw a "Disago Picture" before!

In the final analysis, Song Shenzong was afraid that the truth was at that time - disasters were caused by heaven. This was the official reason for the failure of the first round of Xining reform. However, some very subtle "small things" happened, perhaps their decisiveness was more serious.

First of all, the family talk was a bright sunshine. One day, Song Shenzong went to the harem to visit his mother and grandmother. After a few common words, Empress Dowager Cao said, "In the past, whenever I heard the sufferings of the people, I would tell Emperor Renzong. Renzong would approve me to make it easier for the people. Now it should be like this." Zhao Xu was very alert and answered 4 words, "Nothing else is done now." Grandma wanted to interfere in politics? He immediately blocked it!

But my grandmother continued, "I heard that the folk Qingmiao Law is now unreasonable, and you should dismiss them." Zhao Xu replied, "This is beneficial to the people and will not be bitter."

Then Empress Dowager Cao made the most important request directly. "Wang Anshi is indeed talented, but there are too many people who offended. If the officials really cherish him, let him go out of Beijing to replenish his position temporarily. I really want to use it, and I will recruit him later." Zhao Xu once again rejected "No! Now, only Wang Anshi can be a member of the country."

Every sentence was rejected. The Empress Dowager's old habit broke out and she was discouraged. She stopped talking like she was bullied by Han Qi and others.

At this time, Zhao Xu's second brother, King Qi Zhao Hao, stood beside him and said, "The Empress Dowager said all the most profound sayings, truth. Prince, you have to think more about it."

At this time, the Emperor of Shenzong could no longer control his anger and shouted to his younger brother, "Did I ruin the world? Then you will be the emperor."

King Qi cried, and he said very sadly, "As for this?"

What do you think after reading this? Do you think Zhao Xu is making a big deal? No! Whether it is "grandma" or younger brother, they are doing the most dangerous thing in the feudal era - interfering with the imperial power! Staying at home is a father and son, and being in charge of politics is a monarch and minister. This is the meaning of imperial power! In this sense, Old Lady Cao and Hao's second brother are both seeking death and committing the family law of the ancestors! Even if the officials in the Song Dynasty are extremely tolerant, they will not punish them for this, and they themselves must understand how big the mistake they have made!

They are not their biological grandmother, but a ignorant little brother. The two of them can ignore the emperor and yell. But the next time the biological mother appears, the situation will be different.

The future, Empress Dowager Gao, who is extremely brave and brave, expressed her opinions on political issues for the first time in her life. Her attitude was actually very sensational? She cried and said to her son, "Let Wang Anshi go! He has disrupted the world and no one can live." Emperor Shenzong was silent. The sky got angry and the backyard caught fire. What did he do?

Then the "Picture of Refugees" and Sima Guang's memorials were handed over one after another. The emperor finally completely lost his control and eliminated all the new laws that he had worked hard for five years...

What we need to figure out now is another thing: for what reason did the emperor's grandmother, mother, and brother say these words? Of course, the answer given by traditional historical books is that Wang Anshi illegally disrupts politics and disrupts the world! The three top royal families took the risk of doing this out of the justice of the world. This reminds the opposition's catchphrase "Everyone in the world agrees" and often acts as an official spokesperson or even a spokesperson for the world. Let's see how many of them are? There is a very accurate one.

The exact number. During the six years Wang Anshi was in power, the total number of officials who were demoted from the capital was about 0, including one censor. This number is like a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of super-large officials of the Song Dynasty? Even if they are all big bosses in the capital, each with a large number of connections, they can reach the level of "the world is ruthless"? As they really said, the entire officialdom opposes Wang Anshi, so who did so many political achievements in the past five years?

It is obvious that "out of justice" is not reliable at all. These wealthy and noble people who hide in the palace and ignore everything on the surface have actually been cut off by Wang Anshi and their way to wealth! Overall, Wang Anshi offended the scholar-official class, which is just a general term, and there are various detailed divisions such as the landlord class, bureaucratic class, etc. There are many new laws, and they offended them all...

For example, the Qingmiao Law harmed the interests of the landlord class, the exemption law harmed the interests of the bureaucrats, and the market law harmed the interests of the big merchants. The new law that harmed the interests of the grandmother, mother, and younger brother of Shenzong is called "no money"

It is said that the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo, was the most prosperous place in the world at that time. What method should I use to live the most enjoyable life here? For example, emperors, royal families, ministers, and people above all people, if they like some good things, how should they get it? Buy it with money? Just kidding, is it still the power class? The Song Dynasty's approach was very clever, and it was levying taxes. In other words, to do business in Kaifeng City, in addition to paying normal taxes, the goods, materials, and people needed by the government were also unconditionally tributed by relevant commercial banks. The specific methods include exploitation, bribery, corruption, and participation in monopoly operations. This is the mystery that they can ensure that they enjoy at the top of the prosperous capital. They did not participate in labor, but became the biggest bosses without capital. But "free money" suddenly smashed this dreamy life!

To exempt money from business means that the government collects another amount of money according to a certain standard after normal tax collection. After this money, the business bank does not have to pay any money to any aspect! It is equivalent to cutting off all royal relatives and officials in the capital with one knife to make a fortune! From then on, everyone can only live on a certain salary. What kind of life is this? Isn’t it to force people to death?

So, Empress Dowager Cao was given the tears of advice from Empress Dowager Gao, who ignored the imperial power and dared to challenge his elder brother's supreme status and made all remarks about the national laws!

But for Wang Anshi, this matter was too hidden. Unless he could have a deep friendship with eunuchs like Ding Wei, Lu Yijian and Wen Yanbo in the past, he could get some warnings, otherwise he would have to be kept in the dark.

However, I still have to say: the exemption of money was implemented in September 2010, and the preface he stopped in April 2010. For more than half a year, Wang Anshi was warned of very exciting incidents, but he still did not wake up or beware of the situation. This only shows that he is too bad at "punishing people" and is not enough to estimate the serious political danger!

That very exciting thing happened at the Lantern Festival in 1074. It is very famous in history and is one of the famous Wang Anshi's bad deeds. The process fully demonstrates how arrogant and domineering Wang Anshi is.

At that time, Shenzong ordered the city to watch the lanterns, and all officials attended. As prime minister, Wang Anshi seemed very special. He rode a tall horse and brought many people from the palace. He still didn't get off the horse after he entered the city gate. He walked in and was about to leave the city gate and entered the interior of the palace. He was finally stopped by the guards on duty! The guards were very angry. While shouting angrily, they injured Wang Anshi's horse out of indignation. At this point, should it be said that the guards' actions were very legal? After all, the imperial power was supreme, so how could there be a reason for being a minister to ride into the palace? The guards were guilty of being meritorious!
