The only families that could be regarded as powerful families were the Li family and the Cao family. Of course, Fan Ziyuan often visited, but they came and left quickly.
Therefore, in the eyes of the common people, the Yunzhong County Marquis's Mansion is completely different from those wealthy and powerful families. Although it did not feel like a Marquis's family at first, they gradually got used to it as they got used to it.
At this time, when Ye An took Qin Mumu and others away, the people in Xinlingfang realized how rare it was to have such a marquis.
When the motorcade passed by Nanmen Street, many people saluted the oxcart and did not shout, only some simple farewell blessings. But these were enough. Ye An and Qin Mumu were very happy. Among these farewell people were The clerks of Puhui Store, ordinary people, and even the shopkeepers of other shops.
When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices, which is enough to prove that he and Qin Mumu already have a place that belongs to them in the city of Tokyo.
Outside Tokyo, in front of the Shili Pavilion, there were only a few people saying goodbye. Of course Ye An knew why. After all, he was nominally demoted. The scholar-bureaucrats in the court had to avoid taboos, and some even did not want to do so. This offends Lu Yijian.
Ever since Ye An came to the court to remonstrate, Lu Yijian had completely sided with Liu E. After weighing the pros and cons, this smart husband found that as long as Liu E did not die, there was no possibility for Zhao Zhen to take charge of the government. In this case, it was better to obey Liu E. E, work hard to manage your own strength, and when that day comes, you can successfully let Zhao Zhen take charge.
And this is also the truest thought in the minds of the officials who followed Lu Yijian. In their view, this is "knowing the current affairs."
It can be said that there is a clear distinction between the two sides in the court. For example, Lu Yijian and others are very popular, and there are also some who support Fan Zhongyan and Ye An. Of course, these people are on Wang Zeng's side.
The two-party struggle between Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian gradually emerged. Even Yan Shu chose Wang Zeng's camp. In Ye An's view, the current party struggle was cultivated by Liu E.
And this kind of party struggle will continue in the court for many years, even until the demise of the Song Dynasty.
Party struggle has always been a "traditional skill" in the Han Dynasty. Due to different political opinions, personal ethics, and even preferences, party struggle can easily form. However, as long as the main contradiction is not involved, the intensity of the party struggle is almost negligible, because the relationship between the two parties There is also the final bottom line, self-moral restraint in Confucianism.
This is the very persistent existence of the literati in the Song Dynasty. Even those who are as sophisticated as Lu Yijian and unscrupulous like Xia Song have never done anything to slander others or even seek human life. Compared with the party struggles in the Ming Dynasty, the party struggles in the Song Dynasty are considered to be the mildest. Yes.
But when the conflict of interests between the two parties involves fundamentals, fierce party disputes will also break out, such as the party dispute between reformers and conservatives.
Although it has not yet appeared, the failure of Ye An's previous reform of the new tea processing method is the best proof. Ye An's new tea processing method almost balanced the interests of all parties, but for the four major tea merchants in the southeast tea farm In other words, if you make less money, you will lose money!
As a result, Ye An was attacked by a group of vested interests. No matter how good the new tea law was, it could not withstand the pressure and was destroyed instantly. This was just a trial by Ye An, but he also discovered the strong resistance to reform.
Why does partisanship arise? Because this is the only way to defeat conservatives. When people form cliques, how can you fight against them if you don’t have the strength of your own?
Ye An was unable to form a party because of his initial positioning, so he decisively surrendered.
The wise emperors in history have never been afraid of party struggles, but are good at using party struggles to balance the interests of all parties, but they are almost always blinded by their own cleverness.
Not all the kings of later generations have the ability to walk a high-altitude tightrope, and not every king can rely on his superb royal skills to sway party struggles to achieve the purpose of balancing power.
There are many emperors who have made mistakes, and some of them are even taken advantage of by their ministers...
