Who is this Li Ding that Lu Huiqing is talking about?
The officials couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yue said in his heart, this person is Wang Anshi's student.
But Lu Huiqing said: "Li Ding was originally the judge of Xiuzhou, but now he has returned to Beijing on his behalf and is outside the palace."
When the official heard this, he immediately said: "Please come to the palace quickly. I want to ask him personally."
After a while, Li Ding went to the palace.
The official immediately asked Li Ding: "How is the implementation of the Qingmiao Law in Jiangnan?"
Li Ding said seriously: "It's very convenient, I haven't heard that the people are dissatisfied with anything. On the contrary, they praise His Majesty's virtues everywhere."
The officials were very happy when they heard it.
"Then why don't you tell me?"
Li Dingdao: "Some people are unwilling to tell me."
When the officials heard this, they asked, "Who doesn't allow it?"
Li Dingdao: "I came from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital and paid homage to Li Chang, the admonishing officer.
Li Chang then asked his ministers how the Qingmiao Law was being implemented in the south.
The minister's words were extremely convenient and the people were all happy.
After hearing this, Li Chang told his ministers, "Now that the princes and young men in the court are arguing about the law, you must not say this when you go to the temple."
Therefore, I dare not say more."
After Li Ding finished speaking, Lu Gongzhu's face suddenly turned pale.
This Li Chang was a Jinshi in the first year of Huangyou's reign and was his student.
Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang had just criticized the disadvantages of the Green Miao Law in front of the officials, but it turned out that Li Ding was lucky and came directly to do this.
After listening to what Li Ding said, the official's face turned very ugly. He couldn't help but glance at Mr. Lu.
After hearing this, Zhang Yue felt that Lu Huiqing's move was too sinister.
How to say?
Li Ding and Li Chang must have had a personal relationship, so Li Ding would visit Li Chang after arriving in the capital.
Moreover, when Li Chang said this to Li Ding, he did so in private, perhaps even advising him as a friend. You actually told this to the emperor, and still did so in public.
Li Ding's move was tantamount to betraying Li Chang, not only harming Li Chang, but also putting Lu Gongzhu to death.
As for the officials, they must be very angry. This is to deceive the saints. They say that the people all over the world hate Qingmiao Fa. Are you trying to deceive me like a three-year-old child?
The official did not have an attack, but instead said with a dull smile on his face: "Really? As an admonisher, shouldn't Li Chang go to the Shu to directly remonstrate? He actually didn't let the officials speak."
Li Ding immediately wiped out the criticisms made by Sima Guang and Lu Gong on the Qingmiao method.
Zhang Yue looked at Lu Huiqing and thought, this is a very dirty trick.
Zhang Yue then thought about it, no, Li Ding was Wang Anshi's student. There was no way Lu Huiqing could make Li Ding go to the palace and stab Li Chang in the back. The only person who could make Li Ding go to the palace was his teacher Wang Anshi.

OK, Jeff, you've learned a lot.
After Li Ding withdrew, Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu fell into a situation where they were no longer human beings inside and outside.
At this time, Zhang Jian, the royal censor in the palace, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Lu Huiqing for being a traitor. This person cannot be with you. I also ask your Majesty to expel him from the capital!"
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but twitched on her face.
Who is Zhang Jian?
He is Zhang Zai's younger brother. Zhang Yue often heard Zhang Zai talking about this younger brother, saying that his younger brother had a strong temper, which he was far inferior to.
When Zhang Yue saw this scene, Zhang Jian actually scolded Lu Huiqing in this unfavorable situation, and he couldn't help but think of his brother's evaluation of him.
The official also asked with a big question mark on his face: "You said that Lu Huiqing is evil. What kind of evil is he? Tell me about it."
Zhang Jian said: "Lu Huiqing is evil because he wants to squeeze out Mr. Lu and make Sima Guang leave the court!"
Lu Huiqing is Wang Anshi's gold-medal thug, so Zhang Jian's words are quite right.
After hearing Zhang Jian's words, the officials felt uncomfortable, so they asked Wang Anshi: "Is this what Zhang Jian said about Lu Huiqing's treachery?"
Wang Anshi said: "Not only Zhang Jian said this, many ministers also said this to Lu Huiqing, but I think that your majesty should be tolerant of his ministers, and ministers should also be tolerant, so what exactly?
Your Majesty, please judge for yourself."
The official nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Jian couldn't help but became furious when he heard that Wang Anshi was trying to deceive the emperor with his clever words again. He pointed at Wang Anshi and said, "Back then, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to argue with the Duke several times. I said that there were too many evil spirits in the court and that officials should not be manipulated. But the Duke
What? But he picked up a fan to cover his face and laughed at me."
"You are a naturally arrogant and upright person. It's fine for me to laugh at you. But you know how many people in the world laugh at me for being upright, but I think he is good. I'm afraid I don't know how many things you have done to offend people since you became prime minister.
Bar!"
After hearing Zhang Jian's accusation, Wang Anshi couldn't help but feel guilty, so he said: "Your Majesty will know whether he is straight or roundabout. It is useless to talk to you."
Zhang Jian finally retreated angrily.
Zhang Yue looked at Wang Anshi and sincerely admired him. Many people opposed his reform, but he was really strong and never wavered.
Many people have changed places with Wang Anshi. I am afraid that if Zhang Jian scolds him a few times, he will retreat.
Why are you so stubborn? Why do you have to be unhappy with everyone in the world?
After Zhang Jian came forward to criticize Wang Anshi, Sima Guang also resigned.
But I saw him slowly saying: "I heard that there is a system for government, and there are important points for running things. What does it mean to have a system? The ancestors have laws, control internal and external, and maintain each other from top to bottom. The king in ancient times had three ministers, nine ministers, and twenty-seven officials.
, the eighty-one Yuanshi disciplined it with principles..."
"What does it mean to be important? With one person's intelligence, he is responsible for all the affairs of the world. If he wants to know something, he will not be given it. Therefore, the noble governs the masses, and the humble governs the few. Those who govern the masses have to make arrangements, and those who govern the few have to make arrangements.
The matter must be detailed, but the king will not choose too many people, and the things he observes will not be troublesome."
"Your Majesty now wants the ministers to take away the affairs of the minor ministers, and the minor ministers to invade the minister's duties. Therefore, the ministers are disintegrated and are not willing to be loyal, and the minor ministers are taking responsibility and are unwilling to do their best. This is something that I cannot understand. The Regulations Department of the Third Department
If you don't leave the situation, the three divisions will not hear about it... Your Majesty is better off issuing edicts to direct foreign affairs. If he is not recommended by the minister, I am afraid that the imperial court will be incompetent from now on."
After hearing Sima Guang's criticism, the official was silent for a moment and then said: "I understand."
After a pause, the official asked Sima Guang: "Is the Green Seedling Method feasible?"
Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, most of the officials sent by the local government to implement the Green Seedling Law are young and of low status, taking advantage of their power and harassing the people. The states and counties have nothing to do with borrowing money. Once the power is transferred down, the harm will be great.
"
Zhang Yue hit the nail on the head when he heard this sentence about the downward movement of authority.
This is a big taboo of the Young Crops Law. Why can't officials directly lend money? This is the devolution of power.
It is a very terrible thing for officials to have the power to lend money to the people and restrain their distribution.
The imperial court generally wants to transfer power from above. For example, the death penalty must be reviewed by the central government and must not be handed over to local states or counties. Because once power is transferred downwards, there will definitely be abuse of power.
Once state and county officials have the power to lend money, they will definitely abuse this power.
Sima Guang said: "This promotion of officials is based on the merit of dispersion, so it does not matter whether the people are rich or poor, everyone follows their household and controls their spouse..."
Sima Guang spoke word for word.
Lu Gongzhu once again spoke out against the Qingmiao Law, and the official family could not help but have two heads.
The dispute over the Young Crops Law came to an end. After a while, Li Cheng, the clerk of the three departments, inspected the regulations in detail and went to the palace.
What Li Chengzhi discussed with the officials was the exemption from service law.
The issue of the exemption law has gone from Zhang Yue's proposal to Han Jiang's proposal to the current detailed discussion among the three Ordinance Departments and the collection of opinions from state and county officials.
Lu Huiqing instructed Li Cheng to go to the palace to report. Han Jiang, Wu Chong, and Zhang Yue all offered many suggestions regarding this method.
But Li Chengzhi said nothing about them and gave all the credit to Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.
This method was originally planned by Han Jiang and Zhang Yue, so when it was proposed, Sima Guang and Lu Gong did not oppose it. Even Su Shi admired this method. The implementation of this method is not as difficult as the Qingmiao method.
In another time and space in history, Wang Anshi was also the most confident in this immunity method.
During the Yuanyou period, Wang Anshi did not say a word when he heard that his new laws were repealed one by one. Until the exemption law was repealed, he couldn't help but feel sad. Has this law also been repealed?
Now that this method has been discussed, Lu Huiqing's face shows an overjoyed look.
The officials retreated to the side hall to rest. Seeing Zhang Yue's attendant, they asked, "Qing Zhang, what do you think of the young seedling law discussed in the hall just now?"
Zhang Yue understood that the place where Sima Guang and Su Shi were not as good as Wang Anshi was that many of what they said were right and very reasonable, but they did not have a consistent political opinion.
For example, many of Wang Anshi's political plans seem to be flawed, but together they make sense.
Zhang Yue said to the officials: "Your Majesty, I think this is the case with the reform. There are thousands of words in the temple, but it is easier to find trouble than to do things."
"It seems that Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu just criticized the Qingmiao Law, but it is not easy for Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing to handle the actual affairs. The imperial court wants to use troops in the northwest, and how can it be used if there is no open source method?"
"This green seedling method does have many disadvantages, but it can be used. This is the most important thing."
The official breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's what I want to hear."
The official immediately handed the tea soup to Zhang Yue personally, and Zhang Yue accepted it.
The official asked again: "Does Zhang Qing think that I trust Wang Anshi too much?"
Zhang Yue knew in his heart that this was Su Shi's fault, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty has his own judgment when employing people. I dare not make random guesses."
The official smiled and patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you and Su Shi good friends? You don't know about the test questions he took during the Imperial Examination, right? He used these test questions to tell me that I am too arbitrary now.
Wang Anshi is dead."
After a pause, the official said: "How could I not know that Su Shi was talented, but our ancestors had a system of conflicting opinions, and I also consider all aspects, and I will not let one side dominate. But Li Ding suddenly came to the palace today.
Criticizing Li Chang may have been planned in advance. I remember that Li Chang was recommended by Lu Gongzhu, so he must be his disciple."
"There is something fishy about this matter, but I won't ask in detail. Instead, I want to reuse Li Ding to suppress the opposition to the Qingmiao Law in the court. You go back and talk to Ah Xi's father-in-law. I know his loyalty, but
This time I have to wrong him."
Zhang Yue stood up and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhang Yue thought that officials had a better and better understanding of the profession of emperor.
The official added: "Zhang Qing was the first to suggest this law. Lu Huiqing took the credit for himself. Not only did you not hate him, but you spoke for him. You are truly a gentleman!"
