Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 154 Wang Anshi, "The Emperor's Book of Ten Thousand Words"

Wei Yuan and Yanda remained silent.

Han Zhang and other ministers recommended several ministers one after another, all of whom were relatively young.

For example, Fan Chunren is the son of Fan Wenzhenggong.

There is also Su Che, who was born in the Su family, as well as the Hai family and several Jinshi in Jiayou's second year.

Those people are regarded as 'clean stream'.

However, Zhao Zhen was not satisfied.

“Since ancient times, talents have been rare, especially those who are reforming and enterprising.”

"Fan Chunren is more than conservative, but not aggressive enough."

"I have a candidate here who can be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Who are you to write to His Majesty and make arrogant opinions on national policy?
You also say that we don’t know how to make money, we only know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure?
However, when they saw the sentence in the article, "The disadvantages of clinging to the same old principles are in line with the changes of the world," their expressions changed.
"What a spirit!"

Han Zhang and others circulated it one after another, and discussed while reading:
"Financial resources are becoming increasingly poor, and customs are deteriorating day by day. The root cause is that they do not know the law? This person has a very sharp edge."

"The wealth of the world is created by the benefit of the world. It is not just a matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. It is indeed a method."

"This person really has the talent for reform!"

When they first read it, they just thought the article was OK, but the person who wrote it might not be.

Loves to talk too much.

"The article is very well written, but it is only a well-written article and a loud tone. It says that all the princes in the dynasty only know how to manage money and do not know how to manage it. Anyone can say it in vain."

But one of the purposes of Zhao Zhenxing's prison is to suppress Han Zhang and his party. How is it possible that the talents recommended by them will be used?
"Your Majesty, I wonder who you think can serve as Minister of Civil Affairs in the Manchu Dynasty?" Ouyang Yongshu asked.

"The writing is good. This person has the talent of writing justice."

But if we don’t even dare to think about it, how can we talk about reform?
In the end, Han Zhang gave this article a high evaluation,

The article is just an article, too idealistic and difficult to implement.

"."

Gradually, everyone was attracted by this article.

As the major case comes to an end, the DPRK and China are indeed in urgent need of manpower.

"."

The scholar-bureaucrats were even more delighted to see it.

This article is called "The Emperor's Book of Ten Thousand Words".

Zhao Zhen gave it a try and did not name the person directly, but asked them to read an article.

For example, reduce vassal status, reduce nobility, expand financial resources, etc.

"Many of the current laws and regulations are inconsistent with the government of the previous kings. Based on Mencius's theory, we can look at the mistakes of the past and the present. The idea is good, but it still needs tempering."

Especially some of the content.

But only if the writing is good.

"Your Majesty, this person threatened in his article that he would completely reform Taizu's laws. Is this too radical?"

Han Zhang first praised and then made his heart worry, in order to make Zhao Zhen make a careful decision.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Young people, there is something wrong with being a little enterprising."

"I think this person still lacks training, so I plan to let him serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I will follow you and learn more about how to handle the government affairs of the DPRK and China."

Train and then serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
Is such an important position used for training?
Hearing this, Han Zhang and others also understood what Zhao Zhen meant.

This is to select future ministers for the imperial court.

Han Zhang raised his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder who this person's name is?"

Zhao Zhen made a surprising statement: "Wang Anshi, whose courtesy name is Jiefu."

Wang Anshi?
After hearing this name, Han Zhang and others were immediately relieved.

It turned out to be him.

He became a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli, and has been serving as a local official since then, with great achievements.

The year before last, he was supposed to be promoted to the capital, but instead he invited himself to become a local official in a southern state or county.

At that time, many ministers in the DPRK and China thought he was a fool.

He ignored the good officials in the capital and went to the south where birds don't poop.

Now it seems that they have far-sightedness!
Wei Yuan was also extremely shocked when he heard the three characters Wang Anshi.

After all, this person had a great reputation in the history of previous lives.

Unexpectedly, there is such a person in the world of 'Knowledge'.

Although this person was not reused in Renzong's dynasty, after Renzong's next emperor succeeded to the throne, this person was promoted as fast as a rocket.

He worked all the way to the top, and then became obsessed with reform.

He is a ruthless person.

Now, in this Zhifu world with a background similar to that of Song Siming, I wonder what kind of disturbance this Lord Wang can stir up.
The moment Zhao Zhen said his name.

Many people were obviously stunned. Later, Han Zhang held up his hands and said: "I think it is appropriate for this person to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Suitable?
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "The matter has been settled. I have asked Wang Anshi to go to Beijing. Maybe we can make it in time for the big discussion last year."

Han Zhang and others bowed together.

Immediately afterwards, the servant Sima Junshi suddenly asked:

"Your Majesty, Sir Wang's article is very well written, but would it be inappropriate to rashly follow this article to carry out reforms?"

Sima Junshi claimed to be a descendant of Sima Fu, King Anpingxian of the Western Jin Dynasty.

When serving as an official in the Zhou Dynasty, if one does not recognize several famous ancestors, he cannot afford the title of "family status", and it is difficult to find good marriages for the heirs in the family.

It is said that Sima Junshi was known as a child prodigy when he was young, and he even caused an incident of "smashing a vat", which attracted much discussion at the time.

The responsibilities of this subordinate minister are mainly to be in charge of the emperor's seal and the staff, and to manage many matters concerning the examination of foreign officials and foreign officials.

Because it was linked to the Ministry of Personnel, he had to ask clearly what it meant when the emperor asked a reformist minister to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I have the same opinion as everyone else. I only think that his article is well written, but it still lacks tempering."

"Is it possible that you didn't understand what I just said?"

Sima Junshi bowed quickly and said, "Please forgive me for being stupid."

After Han Zhang and others retreated.

Zhao Zhencai formally summoned Wei Yuan and Yanda.

"How's the treason case going?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

Wei Yuan presented the evidence that many officials accused the two kings of collaborating with each other, and then said:
"Your Majesty, when I was ordered to arrest King Yong today, I failed to pay attention and allowed King Yong to commit suicide."

"I only found this letter in King Yong's possession. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After that, he handed the letter to Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he couldn't help but sigh and murmured:
"Why do you and I, father and son, do this?"

"I just want to interrogate you. I don't believe you will commit treason."

After that, he closed his eyes.

The man who was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds quickly wrote these words down.

There was a pause.

Zhao Zhen pretended to be sad, slowly opened his eyes and said:

"How does Wei Qing think the two kings' crimes should be determined?"

Wei Yuan felt dizzy, "I dare not say anything when it comes to the clan. I will do whatever His Majesty tells me to do."

Zhao Zhen said heartbrokenly: "I failed in my responsibility for such a big case in our country. I will issue an edict to blame myself."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan and Yanda quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, please make a careful decision!"

"The traitors in the state are not your Majesty's fault, they are the responsibility of your ministers!"

Sitting in front of the case, Liang thought for a while and wrote: "The emperor was saddened by the two kings collaborating with the enemy, so he sinned against himself. The two envoys of Wei and Yan persuaded each other."

After a while.

Zhao Zhen looked at Wei Yuan and Yanda who were kneeling down, waved his hands feebly and said:
"That's it, that's all."

"Although the two kings made mistakes, I thought of the bond between father and son, so I reduced their rank and sent them to Lingnan."

"Although King Yong is deceased, he is still a member of the clan and my son. He must be buried with dignity."

"The descendants of the two kings will all be demoted to the next level and handed over to Taichang Temple to support them. It is not in vain for me to fight with the two kings and their sons."

After the emperor opened his mouth, the so-called biggest case of this dynasty came to an end.

No matter what troubles the descendants of the two kings will encounter in the future, for now, Zhao Zhen has done enough superficial work, which can be regarded as a word of 'benevolence'.

Wei Yuan believed that the descendants of King Yong might have a better life than the descendants of King Yan.

If Wei Yuan were the king of Yan, he might as well die. At least he would be able to have some peace of mind.

Then, Zhao Zhen waved his hand towards Yanda and asked the sitting man sitting aside to step back.

Yan Da made it clear and withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Zhen looked at Wei Yuan and said, "You did an excellent job on this job."

"I intend for you to serve as the Prince's Young Master, and Wang Anshi will serve as the Crown Prince's Young Master."

The Crown Prince's Young Master and Young Master had official titles of the second rank in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although their official ranks were higher, they were more honorary titles with little power. They had titles but no positions.

These two positions are mainly responsible for teaching the prince some specific cultural knowledge.

For example, Wei Yuan taught martial arts and was called Shaofu, and Wang Anshi taught literature and was called Shaoshi.

Their position is called the Third Young Master together with the Prince Shaobao.

In the East Palace, his status is second only to the Third Division.
