The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

Changsong has been practicing martial arts for many years and has a rather strong physique, but he had no problem at all and did not move at all after being hit.

However, Liu Zha, who collided with him, was not so lucky.

Liu Zha was originally attracted by the beautiful Shu Lan. Although he followed Changsong, he looked at Shu Lan from time to time.

So, without any preparation, he bumped into Changsong's thick chest, took several steps back, but still couldn't stand firmly. He happened to trip over the steps and sat down on the ground.

Shulan noticed this and turned around quickly, fearing that Liu Zha would be embarrassed. From the smile on her lips, it was clear that she was also amused by Liu Zha.

Liu Zha's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect that he would lose face in front of the beauty before he could even find out about her. This made him feel a little flustered.

Changsong noticed something was wrong between the two at that time. He thought this was a good thing for his sister, but this matter could only be decided by Liu Zha or Wang Yue.

So, he waited for a while before breaking the silence. He helped Liu Zha up and urged him, "Master Liu, I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry and forgot to introduce you."

Liu Zha heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hands quickly, and said nonchalantly, "Nothing, business is more important, business is more important!"

Changsong saw that Liu Zha did not blame him, so after Liu Zha stood firmly, he took him to the yard. He still had to take the time to tell Wang Yue the news.

The two men asked a few servants on the way. After knowing Wang Yue's location, he did not foolishly take Liu Zha to the backyard, but just sent someone to notify Wang Yue.

When Wang Yue received the news, he apologized to Minglan and Pinlan, then came to the front yard and learned what had happened from Changsong and Liu Zha.

……

Raozhou, Wang Family

After Wang Anshi received Wang Yue's letter and read what happened, he couldn't help but frown. Although he was investigating with Wang Yue, he still didn't expect that the death of the former Changzhou prefect would have such a big conspiracy, which made him a little chilling.

Fortunately, he was not investigated while in office, otherwise his family would have been in great trouble.

He understood what Wang Yue meant by writing this letter. Since there was no prefect in the provincial capital, the matter would probably be reported to Liangzhe Road. Since these people dared to attack the prefect, there was a high probability that they had someone in Liangzhe Road. He was also afraid that officials would protect each other.

When Wang Anshi thought about what he was about to do, he immediately set off back to Changzhou and arranged for his family to move back to his hometown.

Moreover, Wang Yue handled this case too quickly. Although he arrived in Raozhou, the imperial edict did not tell him to leave his post and take up another one that day.

He has not taken office yet, so he can go home first. And there is no one to take over the position of Changzhou prefect. In theory, he is still the prefect and can continue to handle the case, so Wang Yue does not have to carry it alone.

Thinking this, Wang Anshi first went back to his hometown and then rushed back to Changzhou.

By the time Wang Anshi arrived, Wang Yue's case had already been settled, with solid evidence and witness testimony, which made him even praise Wang Yue's ability to do things.

Even so, he still reviewed all the confessions one by one. After checking all the confessions and finding no problems, he took the prefect's seal and stamped them, thus closing the case.

After Wang Anshi finished the work, he said solemnly, "I know you want to eradicate evil for the sake of the people of Changzhou, but what you did this time was too dangerous. If you didn't arrange for the rescuers to arrive in time, I'm afraid Changsong and several people from the Shipping Company would be gone. You might also end up like Lord Li. You must never do this again in the future."

Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed. He was a martial arts expert and was not afraid of assassination, so he started to work as soon as Wang Anshi left.

Hearing Wang Anshi say this, he said a little embarrassedly, "I was a little reckless, but I don't know if I have delayed your business."

After hearing Wang Yue's question, Wang Anshi asked suspiciously, "How do you know that I am doing the same thing as you in Raozhou?"

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Wang Anshi to do the same in Raozhou. He asked uncertainly, "Sir, according to the schedule, you haven't taken over yet, right?"

Wang Anshi said confidently, "Of course I will arrange for someone to conduct a secret investigation first. However, it just so happens that your letter asked me to leave temporarily. When I return, I can immediately take over the investigation."

Wang Yue was a little amused and helpless. He didn't expect this to happen. He was also very curious about how big a deal Wang Anshi would make this time.

You know, this time he got rid of a county magistrate and countless other clerks.

What's more, there was someone behind this county magistrate, so he had to ask Wang Anshi to come back and let Wang Anshi take the blame.

Wang Anshi went to Raozhou alone. Although it was very close to his hometown, he was isolated and helpless like Liu Zha.

However, Wang Yue soon found out that Wang Anshi was much more ruthless than him. Less than seven days after he returned from Wang Yue's place, he had imprisoned a prefect and two county magistrates in Jiangyou, as well as countless other corrupt officials and landlords. The local people cheered, but the other officials were horrified.

However, Wang Anshi was not prepared to stop there. Not only did he review the complaints in recent years, he also took his guards to visit everywhere and listen to the voices of local grassroots officials and people. As long as there were suspicious clues, he would immediately eradicate them without any mercy.

Precisely because of Wang Anshi's big move, Wang Yue's actions seemed more like Wang Anshi's work. Wang Yue was just executing the order, and Wang Anshi was successfully made to take the blame for the Changzhou incident.

However, Wang Yue finally understood why, in his memory, Wang Anshi appeared in Tokyo to report on his work and submitted the famous ten-thousand-word memorial in the third year of Jiayou.

It seems that Wang Anshi had touched the interests of others, and those officials couldn't do anything about Wang Anshi, so they worked together to get him out.

However, Wang Yue didn't care about those things. After submitting the memorial, he also recommended Liu Zha to be the magistrate of Wujin County.

After hearing Changsong say that Liu Zha seemed to have a crush on Shulan, he immediately acted as a matchmaker and arranged a marriage for the two.

Liu Zha, who had been in Changzhou for several years, finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Not only did he get promoted, but he also got married again.

Changsong was also promoted because the Changzhou chief constable and the Wujin County chief constable were involved in the case. Wang Yue recommended Changsong, who had made meritorious service this time, to be the Changzhou chief constable, and Xu Yi to be the Wujin County chief constable. Those guards who had made meritorious service among those who participated in the operation were also arranged to be chief constables in various places.

His current style is quite similar to Qi Tongwei's. Even the dogs he trained were transferred to the yamen.

Of course, he did this mainly because the dog he trained at home could function as a police dog and could really help solve cases.

At this point, Changzhou was completely under Wang Yue's control, but the local aristocratic families did not have any aversion to Wang Yue. On the contrary, because Wang Yue did not take any follow-up actions, they all praised him.

The reason for this result was that Wang Yue was too young, and Wang Anshi was blamed too hard, so people didn't even think that it was Wang Yue's doing.

Wang Anshi, who was working vigorously to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil in Raozhou, just as Wang Yue had expected, succeeded in angering the local bureaucratic families within six months. They wrote letters to the court to slander Wang Anshi.

In the eighth month of the third year of Jiayou,

The imperial court also ordered Wang Anshi to come to Beijing to report on his work, and the campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil in Raozhou came to an end.

On his way back to Beijing to report on his work, Wang Anshi began writing "Ten Thousand Words Letter to the Emperor". Perhaps because he revised it many times, he did not finish it until he arrived in Beijing.

It was not until October of the third year of Jiayou that he submitted the ten thousand word letter.

This ten thousand word letter caused a huge uproar. The reformers and conservatives argued with each other happily, and the emperor was somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Chapter 192 Young Song said!

After all, the emperor was old and he was more concerned about the issue of offspring. As for the reform, after his experience with Fan Zhongyan, he really had no interest in it.

In addition, he had just ordered his clan members and nephews to send a child between eight and ten years old to the palace.

Now the children have been sent to the palace. There are six suitable children in total, including the children of Prince Yong and Prince Yan. Even Zhao Zongquan, the commander of the Yuzhou militia, has sent his 9-year-old eldest son Zhao Ceying.

These children have been summoned to the capital for half a year, and have successfully diverted the attention of the ministers. These ministers no longer instruct the emperor to appoint a crown prince. Instead, they focus their attention on these children, and they also want to choose a suitable child from them to inherit the throne.

After all, several bigwigs in the court did not take sides at all. They were only worried about the succession of the throne. In addition, the most powerful Prince Yong and Prince Yan were not suitable to inherit the throne, so they had to do this.

Now the ministers headed by Han Qi and Bao Zheng ask His Majesty to take care of his health. Most of the time they also follow His Majesty's mood. At least before they select a suitable crown prince, the emperor must not fall.

It was also for this reason that the emperor finally relaxed and felt much better. He played with his six children every day, and his health improved a lot. He no longer coughed all the time like before.

It was at this time that Wang Anshi's ten-thousand-word letter came up, breaking the tacit understanding between the emperor and the bigwigs.

At this time, not only the emperor had no intention of reforming, but even the ministers were in no mood, so the matter of the ten thousand word letter had to be shelved.

Wang Anshi was a stubborn person. When he saw that his ten-thousand-word memorial had no effect, he wrote another short and fierce reform memorial, but the government still did not approve it.

If he were an ordinary minister, he would have known better and stopped making trouble at this time. Unfortunately, Wang Anshi was an ordinary person. He simply resigned and refused to accept the new position in the imperial court, threatening to become an official in other places.

However, everyone was not very confident about letting Wang Anshi go to the local area at this time. They were really scared by what Wang Anshi did in Changzhou and Raozhou.

The stalemate lasted for several months, and the ministers were worried that Wang Anshi was unwilling to take up an official position, so the government had no choice but to summon Wang Anshi.

In the fourth year of Jiayou, February,

Wang Anshi thought that the emperor was willing to see him and was finally ready to reform, which made him very happy, so he immediately made preparations.

He was in the palace with excitement. When he saw the emperor, he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, have you seen the report from Changzhou in the third year of Jiayou?"

Although there are so many states and counties, Changzhou's tax collection this time is twice that of previous years, which has indeed attracted the attention of officials.

When Wang Anshi mentioned this, he asked in confusion, "Yongshu, are you talking about the tax revenue in Changzhou?"

Wang Anshi nodded and said solemnly, "Before Shen Zhizhou took office, Yan Hui followed my instructions at the time and thoroughly investigated the situation of land annexation in Changzhou. He punished the noble families who used special means to force the main households to become customers, punished the bureaucrats involved, and recovered a large amount of land for the people.

It is precisely because of these means that Changzhou’s tax collection was so grand. This is just a small Changzhou, but it was probably the same throughout the Song Dynasty.

Your Majesty, in the early years of the late emperor's reign, there were approximately nine million households in the country, and more than 500 million acres of land were subject to tax.

But now, not much time has passed, and the population of the Song Dynasty has already exceeded 10 million households, but the land available for tax payment is less than 20 million acres.

Your Majesty, this is just the situation of land annexation, and the bloated bureaucracy has not been taken into account. If this continues and no reform is carried out, the Song Dynasty will be in danger!"

The government knew this was the case, otherwise it would not have agreed to Fan Zhongyan's reforms, it just failed last time.

But he was really old, and although he was reluctant to admit it, he was really worried that something might go wrong in his later years, which would ruin his reputation.

He simply walked to Wang Anshi and pulled him to sit on a chair. He then sat down on the other side and said with some melancholy, "Uncle Yong, I know your ambition. If you had proposed this idea a few years earlier, I would have started the reform. With you and Xiwen working together, maybe it would really work.

However, I am old now and I don't have that much energy. Are you sure you can convince the ministers by yourself?"

After Wang Anshi sat down obediently on the chair, he listened to the emperor's description and felt a little disappointed.

Even Fan Zhongyan could not handle the situation alone, how could he fight against the entire court alone?

However, he was a stubborn person and was unwilling to give in, so he said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Your Majesty, as long as you make a decision, I will not refuse even if I die!"

The official looked at Wang Anshi's determined eyes. He understood Wang Anshi's thoughts. It was worth dying for his ideals.

But he didn't want Wang Anshi to die, so he patted Wang Anshi's arm, pointed to the princes who were reading next door, and asked with a smile, "Look at them, what do you think?"

These princes were all children of the emperor’s sons and nephews. After being sent to the palace, they became his children.

As for which one will be registered under the name of the empress in the future, it depends on who can satisfy him, the emperor, and his ministers.

Although Wang Anshi was rather stubborn, he was not stupid. Looking at the young princes, he asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, you don't want me to wait until the princes grow up before carrying out the reforms, do you?"

The official laughed and then said seriously, "Why not? You are only forty, so what if you wait for them for ten years?

I have arranged so many positions for you, but you are unwilling to do any of them. Now I have a position I want you to take, that is, their teacher. Give them your ideas. Are you still afraid that they will not support you in the future?"

Although Wang Anshi knew that what the emperor said made sense, he was still a little stunned. If these princes were Wang Yue's age, he could barely tolerate it, but he didn't have the patience to be a teacher for these little kids who were less than ten years old.

However, he thought of Wang Yue just now, and an idea flashed in his mind, so he said, "Your Majesty, you know my temper. If you let me teach them directly, I am afraid I will lose my temper.

However, I have someone to recommend to Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen?"

The official didn't expect Wang Anshi to say that, so he asked curiously, "Who do you want to recommend?"

Wang Anshi stood up respectfully and bowed, then said sincerely, "Your Majesty, Wang Yue, the No. 1 scholar in the second year of Jiayou and the magistrate of Changzhou, once told me that if the age difference is too big, there is no common language between the two people.

Yan Hui is only eighteen or nineteen years old now. He is well-versed in ancient and modern times and has also been trained as a judge. It is probably more appropriate for him to teach these children than those older adults."

When the official heard Wang Anshi's words, he was stunned for a moment. He asked in confusion, "What is a common language?"

Wang Anshi actually asked Wang Yue about this, and he said very honestly, "Yan Hui's explanation is that only people with similar understandings and ideas, and not too big of an age difference, will have common interests, and it will be easier for them to communicate.

Yan Hui once wrote about the young Song Dynasty, saying that young people are radical, old people are conservative, old people often think about the past, young people often think about the future... Old people are like monks, young people are like knights. Old people are like dictionaries, young people are like plays...

After listening to this, I felt that it made a lot of sense. The common language he mentioned probably came from this article he wrote himself. "

After listening to it, the emperor thought it made sense, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Yong, do you still remember what the young Da Song said in Yan Hui? Write a copy for me later, and I will read it carefully."

Wang Anshi nodded quickly and said sincerely, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor thought about it and felt that these children really seemed like good kids in front of the old scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and it was impossible to tell their character at all.

It's possible that we really need to find a young lecturer from the Hanlin Academy to give lectures to these royal family members, so that we can better understand their character.

……

Changzhou, Shengfu

"Going to Beijing?"

Old Mrs. Sheng knew that Wang Yue had been busy, and was very happy that he suddenly had time to come over today. However, before she had the chance to ask, she heard Wang Yue say that he was going to Beijing.

She was a little surprised and said, "You have only been in office for more than two years, why are you being transferred back to the capital?"

Minglan was also a little curious. She didn't know what had happened. Why was Wang Yue suddenly transferred back to the capital? The capital was not as fun as outside.

But since the old lady had already asked, she could only blink and watch without asking again.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him like that, Wang Yue said helplessly, "Old lady, do you still remember the former governor, Lord Wang?"

Old Lady Sheng nodded and couldn't help but smiled and said, "You mean the stubborn governor? Who wouldn't know that? He's a good official. He's also the first official who left without waiting for the umbrella."

Wang Yue looked at the old lady's teasing and said helplessly, "He offended the local bureaucracy in Zhuozhou, and they all wrote letters to complain, so Lord Wang was summoned to Beijing to report on his work.

His Majesty arranged several official positions for Lord Wang, but he was unwilling to take any of them. Later, His Majesty wanted to arrange for Lord Wang to be a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, which would mean that he would be a teacher to the princes in reserve.

But he was unwilling, so he recommended me to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed and ordered me to be a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, responsible for teaching the princes in reserve. "

Old Madam Sheng couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect Wang Yue to use the term "prince reserve" to describe those royal children, but the description was very accurate.
