Prime Minister

Chapter 620 Strong Comeback
Wang Anshi didn't wait for the notification from the eunuch, and immediately strode up to the hall. Everyone present was stunned by this scene.

Chen Shengzhi and Li Chang were all taken aback. They thought Wang Anshi would not come back to watch matters, but they didn't expect to appear in this hall today.

The officials were surprised and delighted.

Zeng Gongliang seemed to have expected it long ago, while Lu Huiqing remained calm.

Wang Anshi glanced over them, seeing everyone's expressions.

Wang Anshi said to the officials: "Taiwan's remonstrance is fierce, just like Chen Shengzhi. Li Chang himself should change and can't stick to one. Only the minister is stupid. I sincerely don't see the inconvenience, let alone dare to be different from the popular customs!"

The officials suddenly wondered why Chen Shengzhi and others behaved so abnormally. Zhang Yue in the palace that day, Lu Huiqing's revised Qingmiao Law had already agreed and praised it, but within two days it became so inconvenient again. .

It turned out that it was the pressure exerted by the officials below that made them dare not advocate and changed their original attitude. Only Wang Anshi was different from the popular custom.

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, when I discussed this method with Shengzhi, it was really difficult for me to promote him, so I didn't force him to be promoted. Since Lu Huiqing and Cheng Hao blamed Shengzhi for being afraid of popular customs, he was willing to sign young crops together. The document of the law. If the promotion was different at that time, how could the officials dare to force it. Now the promotion of the promotion of the world can only be done if everyone agrees, but if there is no consensus, there is no reason to force it."

"However, the Green Crop Law has already been implemented at this time. It is not a private discussion of the ministers, but an imperial edict. The ministers should obey the imperial edict, die for it, and not be changed by floating opinions."

After listening to Wang Anshi's words, the officials heard that the meaning seemed to be that Chen Shengzhi really opposed the young crop law at the beginning, but in order to be promoted to prime minister, he had to agree with Wang Anshi and follow this law.Well, now that he is the prime minister, he will openly oppose the Young Crop Law due to the opposition of everyone.

Chen Shengzhi said: "Your Majesty, it is not the minister who is afraid of the old customs, but the prime minister of the three dynasties of Han Gong. He opposed the Qingmiao Law. Is this also the old custom?"

The reason why Chen Shengzhi objected was largely because he was single-handedly promoted by Han Qi.Han Qi is now against the Green Crop Law, so of course he must firmly stand by Han Qi's side,
In fact, after Han Qi went to the school, Ouyang Xiu immediately went to the school to oppose the Qingmiao Law, but the memorial had not yet arrived at the official's house, and many ministers had already heard the news.

With such words, Chen Shengzhi also explained his own position.

And Lu Huiqing in the field also knew that the New Deal had reached the most dangerous time.

Outside, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu went up to oppose the Qingmiao Law one after another. Inside, Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi responded. Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, Yushi Zhongcheng, Lu Gongzhu, and others were all on the front line of opposition.

Although Lu Gongbi and Wen Yanbo didn't say anything, they also objected from the bottom of their hearts.

Among the civil servants in the four entrances and Zaizhi, except for Han Jiang, Wu Chong, and Han Wei who remained neutral for the time being, everyone else unanimously opposed the Green Crop Law!

There is also Li Chang jumping up and down in the hall!

Lu Huiqing pinched her heart, under such heavy pressure, who else in the world can stand as the mainstay in the huge waves, and stand here!
Seeing Chen Shengzhi lift up Han Qi, those who oppose the Qingmiao Law seem to have a backbone.

Wang Anshi said: "I heard that Liu Xiang, the Hebei transshipment envoy, stopped the money for young crops without permission. I don't know if there is someone behind this matter?"

Last year, Hebei was hit by a catastrophic disaster. It was hit by floods first and then by earthquakes. It was also the front line of the Song and Liao Dynasties, and its status was even more important than that of Shaanxi, which borders Xixia.The government sent Han Qi, the No. [-] Hebei Road appeasement envoy, to sit in Daming Mansion.

Hebei transshipment envoy Liu Xiang stopped the green crop law without authorization. Han Qi did not instigate this, and no one believed it.

Chen Shengzhi came out of the class and said: "Hebei stopped the green crop method, I can only say that the green crop method is inconvenient."

Wang Anshi said: "Before, Wang Guangyuan tried his best to implement the new law, but he could follow it, but he was impeached by you, and Liu Xiang tried his best to resist the new law, but he didn't ask if he couldn't follow it. This Liu Xiang followed the minister's decree, and regarded the court's decree as nothing, if he didn't ask for guilt. , how can it be imitated by the world?"

Seeing that Wang Anshi wanted to question Liu Xiang.

Zhao Wei said anxiously: "At that time, I was also in Hebei to help disasters, and I also tried to do things like this, and the court never questioned the crime!"

At this time, the officials who had been silent all the time suddenly remembered that the imperial court sent Wu Chong and Zhao Ni to Hebei to appease the disaster, because the imperial court could not provide a penny.Wu Chong and Zhao Wei went to Hebei for disaster relief with a bunch of empty names.The so-called empty name edict is an official appointment letter without a name filled in. As long as the local rich people are willing to take money to solve the disaster, you will be rewarded with an official job.

Hebei is so embarrassing, can it get worse?The imperial court wanted to reform the law, but it was the Hebei officials who took the lead in disobeying the Young Crop Law.

The official said to Zhao Wei: "It's just a mistake at the time! Now we can do it!"

This statement by the officials is very important, and the general trend will turn to Wang Anshi.

Officials understand that the Green Crop Law has received so many criticisms, there must be something wrong.But right now, it's not the Green Sprout Law, but the entire reform. Once the Green Sprout Law is breached, the entire reform will be in vain.

Now the government and the public are talking about it fiercely. If you don't defend this place, you will not be able to change the law and strengthen the country in the future.

After Song Renzong dismissed Fan Zhongyan, all the new laws were abolished.In the future, when disasters occur everywhere, can I only rely on officials to make wishes for relief?Hebei without the Green Crop Law is already so bad, can it get worse in the future?
Seeing that the officials are standing on Wang Anshi's side.

Chen Shengzhi hurried out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the Hebei Transshipment Department's words are reasonable, and there is no question of guilt! Liu Xiang just asks not to follow the law of young crops. If there is a crime in the decree, it will be the law of Shang Yang."

The officials murmured upon hearing the words.

Wang Anshi denounced Chen Shengzhi's way: "The one who discusses the order dies because of Guan Zi's words. What's more, Liu Xiang did not discuss the order, but violated it. I don't know what crime should be committed by ministers who violated orders in the past three generations? Please let Liu Xiang go!"

Chen Shengzhi argued: "If this is the case, then no one in the imperial court would dare to act as a transshipment envoy."

Wang Anshi said: "Liu Xiang has violated the edict. I want to dismiss him now, but the prime minister thinks he won't. What's the meaning of this? The usage of Chinese script is so light, and everyone can violate it based on human feelings. No wonder the world The discussion is raging. Please stop Liu Xiang!"

The official agreed immediately.

At this time, Wang Anshi took out a statement from his sleeve and said: "In addition, I refuted Han Qi's memorial to stop the Qingmiao Law, please read it, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers couldn't help being dumbfounded when they saw Wang Anshi. This thief is so bold that he doesn't even give Han Qi face.Han Qi was not only the prime minister of the three dynasties, but also supported two officials to ascend the throne. Don't you, Wang Anshi, even give him face?
This is hidden in the sleeve, obviously it has been prepared for a long time!
However, those who are familiar with Wang Anshi know that this is a normal operation. When Wang Anshi's status was far inferior to Han Qi, he dared to criticize him, refuted his prefix, and insinuated that the other party was Wang Feng!
Seeing Wang Anshi's memorial, the officials criticized Han Qi's criticism of Qingmiao Fa's memorial, and refuted it sentence by sentence.Fortunately, there were no punctuation marks in the Song Dynasty, otherwise Wang Anshi would not have missed every punctuation mark in Han Qi's memorial.

The officials only read halfway, and then they heard Wang Anshi say: "Han Qi only uses the four ways, and I beg you to let him go, just judge the Daming Mansion!"

Chen Shengzhi sneered repeatedly.

Immediately, not only Liu Ting, the transshipment envoy, was dismissed, but even Han Qi was cut off as the four-way appeasement envoy, well, you are better than the officials!

Unexpectedly, the officials actually agreed to Wang Anshi.

Facts have proved that any merits of support are useless, and the speed of the government's turnaround is very fast. Since ancient times, the emperors are so ruthless!

Chen Sheng was so angry that he laughed back and retreated.

However, Wang Anshi gained power and was relentless. He grabbed Chen Shengzhi and continued to beat him furiously: "When the minister was suing, the Zhongshu issued an edict and deleted the words 'restraining the young crops and money'. Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi and others are quite responsible as prime ministers. , Why do you want to surrender Zhazi indiscriminately, if you change the Qingmiao Law today, you should delete the words of the day before yesterday, where will the prestige of the court be placed?"

Chen Shengzhi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words.

Even Zeng Gongliang couldn't hold back when he saw Wang Anshi criticizing himself so arrogantly.

Zeng Gongliang hated him deeply, he sent his son to show favor to Wang Anshi yesterday, but today Wang Anshi didn't give him any face at all, there are people in this world who are so ungrateful.

Is this Wang Anshi's brain granite?He really wanted to cut it open and have a look.

Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi both petitioned for the dismissal of the prime minister.

Of the several prime ministers, Zhao Wei was the only one who seemed a little redundant at the side of the hall. He was the only one among the three prime ministers who advocated waiting for Wang Anshi to return to the court to modify or abolish the Qingmiao Law, so Wang Anshi let him go.

Zhao Wei could only smile wryly.

The officials comforted the two prime ministers with gentle words, and then handed over Li Changyan's memorial to Wang Anshi that "the method of young crops can't be divided into two parts".

Li Chang had been vigorously opposing the Qingmiao Law in the hall before, but Wang Anshi stopped his voice as soon as he entered.

Li Chang also thought that Wang Anshi would compete with him for the two points of the Green Crop Law, so he was ready to make some arguments.

Unexpectedly, Wang Anshi didn't even look at the memorial, and directly reprimanded Li Changdao: "I came from the Department of Regulations, and I also foresaw the discussion of the Qingmiao Law. Today, I counterattack the Qingmiao Law. How different is it from Jiang Zhiqi and others!"

This sentence 'Jiang Zhiqi' is really heart-wrenching.

Li Chang was reprimanded and blushed, unable to say a word.

Now the people in the palace have been reprimanded by Wang Anshi one by one, even Liu Ting who is far away in Hebei, and even Han Qi, the prime minister of the three dynasties, could not escape.

Wang Anshi, who asked to be divided into Jiangning yesterday, made a strong comeback today, and no one is his general!
The officials agreed to all Wang Anshi's requests, and after the discussion, they drove away the left and right, leaving Wang Anshi to play alone in the hall.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi were very dissatisfied. They looked at each other and decided to draft a memorial to each other immediately after returning home.

This prime minister is really boring.

But Li Chang knew that he had suffered a crushing defeat today, and walked out of the hall with a complexion like earth, only to see Lu Huiqing suddenly stopping in front of him.

Li Chang couldn't help but asked angrily, "What's the matter with Jifu?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Your honor is recommended to participate in politics, why are you so responsible for participating in politics?"

Li Chang couldn't answer!
Lu Huiqing said: "As long as I, Lu Huiqing, am here, I can make you inferior to others all my life!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Huiqing turned around and left.

Li Chang stood there alone like a hen. He knew that Lu Huiqing didn't just talk casually. He looked at Lu Huiqing's back for a while before uttering two words: "Little man!"

At this moment, in the palace, the official said to Wang Anshi earnestly: "I am really confused by the public opinion about this method of young crops. I have been thinking about this for the past few days. Even if there is harm, it is only a loss of money and things. shirt?"

The official's move is tantamount to letting go of their dignity and apologizing to Wang Anshi in person.
