I actually discussed the new reform with a cadre of the old party who opposed the reform. I guess outsiders couldn't understand it even if their heads exploded.
There are many things in this world that we cannot understand!
Zhao Si, who was in a great mood, returned to the palace and invited his confidants Sun Moli and Zeng Baohua to come. After thinking about it, he asked someone to invite Zhang Shuye.
Not only did this person return to his heart, but he was also deeply imprinted with the Thirteenth Party. It seemed that he and Zhao had a relationship where everyone would be prosperous and lose everything.
You can participate in relevant secrets.
Zhao Si suppressed the excitement in his heart and recounted his conversation with Fan Chunren in detail.
Changsun Moli and Zeng Baohua had already received vaccinations, so they were not so excited.
But Zhang Shuye stood up quickly and stammered when he spoke excitedly.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness, you are a reformer, but you oppose Wang Jingong's reform? Now you have reached a tacit agreement with Fan Gong, an important minister of the old party, to carry out reforms again?"
Zhang Shuye felt that his mind was very confused.
"That's right! Mr. Ji Zhong. Let me ask you, Duke Han Zhongxian (Han Qi), Duke Fu Wenzhong (Fu Bi), Duke Wen Lu (Wen Yanbo) and others once supported Duke Fan Wenzheng's Qingli Reform. Why?
During Xining's reform, they turned into the person they hate the most?"
"The person you hate the most?" Zeng Baohua asked curiously.
"Those like Xia Zhenggong (Xia Song) who strongly opposed the Qingli Reform."
Oh, all three of them understood.
"Several sages saw the shortcomings that Wang Jinggong saw decades ago, and actively tried to eliminate them, but failed. From the documents classified by the Secretariat, I can see that these old party veterans initially
To oppose Wang Jinggong is not to oppose his purpose, but to oppose his specific methods."
Hearing this, the three of them were all well-read history books and knew the Xining Reform and even the Qingli Reform vividly.
Seeing this, Zhao Shi nodded with deep understanding.
Yes, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others are all veterans of the reform. They were well aware of the difficulties and subtleties of the reform during the Qingli Reform.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes!
But Wang Anshi's reform was so fast that he was as fierce as a tiger. Can these veterans not be frightened?
Therefore, the focus of these veterans' objections lies in the various problems existing in the reform, including the rationality, feasibility, and consequences of the new law.
"In my opinion, reform requires not only great courage and determination, but also a broad mind and superb means. On the other hand, Wang Jinggong has never been tolerant of frequent changes, and he lacks the patience to seek common ground while reserving differences."
"In the face of the surging opposition and doubts, Wang Jinggong not only used no means to 'resolve conflicts and reduce resistance', but stubbornly insisted on his so-called 'absolute truth' and unquestionably purged the opposition to eliminate those who caused the problem.
A human way to solve problems.”
"The most hateful thing is that Wang Jinggong dragged my father directly into the water."
Zhao Si gritted his teeth, which made Zhang Shuye, Changsun Moli and Zeng Baohua a little puzzled. The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Shuye asked.
"Why does Your Highness hate this so much?"
"As soon as our father steps down, the reform will have no room for maneuver and will reach a dead end." Zhao Si sighed, "The reform is to take an unprecedented path and find an effective method that is not yet known. It requires constant experimentation, error-finding, and correction. That's it.
It’s like a big ship that needs to constantly maneuver its sails and rudder according to the direction of the wind and the current.”
Hearing this, the three of them all nodded in unison.
"My father personally presided over the reform. Who dares to find fault? Who dares to say that it is wrong? Xining's reform can only go to the dark side!"
The three of them opened their mouths half-open, feeling that an unprecedented torrent was constantly impacting everyone's hearts.
This hidden secret is really unimaginable. And King Jian who can see this hidden secret is really not an ordinary person.
Zeng Baohua, the most outspoken among the three, blurted out: "So, Wang Jinggong wants to retreat in order to advance, and please live in Jiangning. His intentions are somewhat impure."
Zhao Si, eldest grandson Moli, and Zhang Shuye just smiled coldly and said nothing.
Wang Jinggong was such a smart man, and with the support of the late emperor, he defeated all the veterans of the old party. He asked himself to retire to Jiangning. Could it be that he really didn't have this intention in mind?
"His heart is to be punished!" Zhang Shuye said angrily.
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Si with more admiration and enthusiasm in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the veterans of the old party who criticized Wang Jinggong the most for his reform were the people he selected for the reform."
"Yes. Although the new party is now in power, we have to admit that, except for a few people such as Zhang Dun, the reform officials selected by Wang Jinggong are almost all people with poor ethics and low moral character. The more talented these people are, the more talented they are.
The greater the harm.”
At this time Zeng Baohua raised doubts.
"Although Wang Jinggong is stubborn, his conduct and character are admirable, and he is extremely intelligent. Why did he choose such shameless villains in such a confused manner?"
"How could Wang Jinggong not know that talent comes first when selecting talents? He has no choice."
"There is no other way? Please give me some advice, Your Highness?" Zhang Shuye's tone became more and more respectful.
"The imperial dynasty has been raising scholars for more than a hundred years, and it has raised many scribes who are intoxicated, indulging in leisure, and hate work. However, it has also trained a large number of scholar-bureaucrats who are concerned about the country and the people, and take the world as their own responsibility. 'Be concerned about the world's worries first, and then the world's happiness.
And Le'.'To establish a heart for the heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and to create peace for all generations.'"
The three of them nodded excitedly.
"'The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important'. This is what those scholar-bureaucrats believe in. I call it people-oriented thinking. These people filled the halls and places of the Song Dynasty. Wang Jinggong implemented the new law. When these people saw it,
In name, it is to enrich the people, but in fact it is to gain profits for the people.”
At this time, Zeng Baohua couldn't wait to interrupt, "Thirteenth Prince, you are right. We are not fools, and we will know many things after doing them once. Many officials saw clearly the consequences of Wang Jinggong's reform, and opposed it based on the concept of serving the people.
When Wang Jingong has no one available, he can only choose people who support the reform. It doesn't matter if he has no virtue or talent, as long as he can blackmail the people and collect money."
At this time, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but added, "Yes. Especially during the Yuanfeng period, when the late emperor personally came to preside over the reform, treacherous people came in one after another."
Several people sighed, and Zhang Shuye turned to Zhao Si and asked loudly: "Your Highness, how should we change the law according to what you said?"
Zhao Si blurted out, "Only by insisting on unifying the intensity of the reform, the speed of development and the level that society can bear, can the reform be successful."
What's the meaning?
I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand.
Zhang Shuye, Changsun Moli, and Zeng Baohua thought for a while, pondered over this sentence, and felt that it was of great benefit.
"Your Highness, what should we do as the first step?" Zhang Shuye asked carefully.
"Fan Gong also asked me this question just now. I replied, cultivate talents first. After the correct route is determined, officials will be the deciding factor."
The three of them listened quietly.
"The official selection and appointment system of the state and dynasty does not focus on the governance and prosperity of the country, but only on the favor and kindness of the ministers. It does not truly realize meritocracy, merit must be rewarded, and misdeeds must be punished. Most officials abuse the favor.
They blindly enjoy generous salaries and preferential treatment, but have no sense of responsibility and responsibility. From the court to the local government, they are bloated and inefficient."
Zhao Si complained first, and then got to the point, "The official selection and appointment system must also be reformed. This is necessary. But before that, we must cultivate like-minded talents. The Secretariat Department is the best place. Now we can
Add more Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhao Si smiled meaningfully at Zhang Shuye.
Zhang Shuye, Changsun Moli, and Zeng Baohua were so surprised that they were numb.
Especially Zhang Shuye and Changsun Moli, they wished they could cry and scream to the sky. The sky finally gave the Song Dynasty an eternal wise king!
The eldest grandson Moli even secretly planned in his heart that in a year or two, when the king's wings are full and the ailing official family is still alive, I will sacrifice my life and property to kill him so that the king can succeed to the throne and revive the Song Dynasty.
"Your Highness!" A voice shouted from outside the door, startling the "unholy" eldest grandson Moli.
"Huatian, what's going on?" Zhao Si asked.
"Your Highness, I have just received a secret report. His Royal Highness King Mu has secretly incited some Xiang troops and Pu troops to use the excuse of refusing to be merged into the police department to stir up trouble and make the whole organization unable to proceed!"
There's no end to this bastard stuff! This chapter has been completed!
