Chapter 863(1/2)
The court immediately issued an edict, demoting Zhang Dun to Yingzhou and resettled him.
Wang Cun found Liu Zhi and Lu Dafang and said, "This punishment should be skipped."
He did not mention Kou Zhun tore through Song Taizong's Long Sleeve and forcibly pushed Song Zhenzong to the front line, nor did he mention Fan Zhongyan. Kong Daofu hit the palace gate, scolded Lu Yijian, and attacked Song Renzong.
Just say that during Xining, the old party was so crazy. Although Wang Anshi sent them out, he gave them all fat. Even Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others were also placed in Luoyang for retirement, and they did not eat any hardship.
Liu Zhi said viciously, Cheng Xi has not come back yet!
Sheng Tao couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "Gong Gong Liu, Zhang Zihou finally made contributions to the country and could be placed nearby."
Can Xiao Cheng be compared with Zhang Dun?
Liu Zhi didn't listen.
So Wang Cun found Gao Taotao and said something about Tang Wan's big trouble in the court meeting, such a serious behavior, the court just demoted him to Chaozhou, the military custody of the Guangzhou Military Supervision Bureau.
One is an official, and the other is a prisoner, and he is placed under house arrest.
One is the best Guangzhou and the other is the Yingzhou with severe malaria.
So the court cannot do this. Besides, Shen Kuo is already dead. It doesn’t matter how much he fights in the Song Dynasty, but no one will die. Now that even life is caused, the court can no longer expand the situation.
Gao Taotao said viciously that the mountains can move, but this state cannot move.
Wang Cun retreated worriedly.
Gao Taotao's willful actions caused a greater rebound. Without comparison, everyone was still ignorant. Once they passed the comparison, they realized the preciousness of the past. Because of the total deterioration of the national finance, more than 90% of the people are now beginning to miss the past. Many people call the period from the eighth year of Yuanfeng to the second year of Shuozheng as the rule of gold. The founders were Zhao Xu, Wang Ju, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, and Zhang Shi, and Fan Chunren was also included.
However, because of Fan Chunren's performance after Zhao Xu's death, no people recognized him.
It’s okay for Shen Kuo. He did bear unshirkable responsibility for more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians who died unjustly in Yongle City, but Zhang Dun was not seriously wrong. On the contrary, Nanping Meishan and Stable Jiaozhi were one of the founders of the Golden Governor and the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Just because he said a few fair words, even if these fair words are a bit radical, would he be sent to Yingzhou for house arrest?
In fact, Shen Kuo cannot die even more!
This is a steam train and railway. No matter what kind of train and railway it is, as long as it appears in this era, how much technology is involved?
Shen Kuo died and there was no more professional talent in this area. So from the standpoint of opposing Wang Juyi's faction, the technology in the Song Dynasty will always be restrained by the other side after the Song Dynasty.
Of course, Wang Juke did not have this intention. He hoped that both sides would make common technological progress, common development, and common reference. However, the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty still held unique skills and did not take technology seriously, so they had to do it alone.
In fact, Shen Kuo died, no one avenged him, and no important officials followed up with the research and development of technology. The other side provided many technologies one after another, but the gap between the two sides would become bigger and bigger. Moreover, Shen Kuo made a mistake in Yongle City. Shen Kuo had a bad character, but in another time and space, Edison's character was also very poor. Has anyone denied Edison's greatness?
At least this section of railway is not wrong. Without this simple railway and the transportation of the Yellow River, how can we manage to Yinshan under the current conditions of the Central Plains?
No one thought seriously and just focused on saving Zhang Dun, which was pretty good.
Ministers such as Sheng Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, Li Chang successively wrote letters to speak for Zhang Dun.
Then they were quickly dismissed from the court by Liu Zhi and Liang Tao, but this was not a good phenomenon. So Liang Tao and a group of confidants began to make three lists, including Zhang Dun Party Members, Cai Que Party Members, and Anshi Party Members.
Zhang Dun's list includes 36 people including Cai Bian, Zhang Yu, Lu Huiqing, Zhao Tingzhi.
Cai Que's list includes forty-five people including Zhang Dun, Wang Anli, Pu Zongmeng, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Xing Shu, Zeng Bu.
The Anshi list includes 39 people including Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Wang Anli, Zeng Bu, and Lu Huiqing.
Why did Wang Anli come up?
Although he is the brother of Wang Anshi, he is a true old party. Is the old and new important? What is important is whether Liang Tao will please you!
Li Qingchen finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he wrote a long book, first comparing the situation of the Song Dynasty before the abolition of Zhao Xu's laws and the situation of the Song Dynasty after the abolition of many laws, and then explaining the role of these laws.
Moreover, Li Qingchen said a meaningful sentence, if the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Moderately imposing some taxes on the powerful can alleviate the resentment of the lower class and increase the country's income. Then the country will use this income to defend the country or use it for the people. Just like in the second year of Shuozheng, if these laws are not abolished, the country will be financially healthy and the river engineering can be officially built.
But now these laws have been abolished, and the commercial taxes of the powerful are no longer levied, and even the two taxes are not paid. The national finances have collapsed, and the skin is gone, and the entire economy has deteriorated, and the actual power and wealthy are not able to benefit. Not to mention anything else, the banking department will pay dividends again in a few months. Let’s see the trouble of those stocks.
Is it wrong?
But Gao Taotao couldn't listen. On the contrary, he loudly scolded Li Qingchen at the court meeting: "You know that the decree should be abolished, why are you silent?"
Li Qingchen replied that everyone was talking about it at that time, and I was not able to judge right or wrong, but the current situation seemed to be wrong. Therefore, I hope that the country would re-impose the laws of the late emperor, recall Cai Que and Zhang Shangying, and take back the edict of Yuan denounced Zhang Dun.
Then he talked about the Three Party again. Wang Jushi was tough enough, but he didn't dare to use his cliques to deal with political enemies easily, because this is a devil's box, and once it is opened, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, there are still many lists in these three lists that are just a joke.
In fact, Wang Ju kept watching on the other side.
For the current Song Dynasty, it only means party struggles, but for Wang Ju, there were two systems that were successful in later generations, one was the Chinese-style centralized system for the change of leadership, and the other was the democratic election system of developed Western countries.
It seems that the Western world has fewer and more developed ills. Indeed, no matter what form of centralization, it is easy to produce all kinds of unfairness, injustice and unfairness. But rationally analyze that people have accumulated a colonial accumulation in the early stage, which is one finger and two fingers technology. But compared with the awakened China, small countries do not count. For example, Singapore, people can get rich by relying on that port. In some Western Asian countries, relying on oil, all people will have no worries about food and clothing. Only the United States and Germany, and other democratic countries are beginning to decline. This is the Germans' seriousness. The United States can succeed because of its unique geographical location.
Although democratic elections are ultimately different from the current retaliatory party struggles, and the chaos in the Song Dynasty was also related to Wang Ju's secret promotion and some early arrangements, Wang Ju still burned some of the manuscripts in his hand.
That is, the true democratic electoral system completely disappeared from the other side.
Moreover, Wang Ju sighed in his heart, the country is too big, and the people's hearts are not consistent! No matter what democratic elections, they will only be in chaos and will not be prosperous!
Gao Taotao was furious and immediately demoted Li Qingchen from the capital.
Under high pressure, no minister dared to speak. However, something happened again in autumn.
The court did this simply because it was against the law, especially when the law of service started again.
Many small and medium-sized business owners and businessmen have come to an end. If it were the case, they were desperate. Could they escape to the more backward Liao Kingdom? But now there is still a way out. Many small and medium-sized business owners and landlords sell their property and go to the other side with the ship. Not only them, but more and more people are also going to the other side with the ship.
This is not a good signal. It turns out that in the late Yuanfeng period, fewer and fewer people fleeing to the other side were already missing. At the lowest point, there were only 10,000 households. This was still the case when the court was relaxed, otherwise the number would be smaller.
However, after this autumn, a large number of people set out to various maritime departments, which shows that the country's situation has become very bad.
But the court did not take it as a warning, but instead issued an edict to prohibit the people of the Song Dynasty from carrying the people of the various maritime departments from the ports of the ports of the various maritime departments.
After hearing the imperial edict, the ships on the other side obeyed and obediently. Only the Mizhou magistrate Lu Che was a little ignorant. After receiving the imperial edict, they were preparing to lead people to arrest various maritime merchants. As a result, a large number of armed sailors came down from the fleet. Lu Che was cowardly, but the various maritime merchants in Mizhou Port did not make a big deal. Yan Ping, the leader, scolded him a few times and the matter was over.
The reason is here, Wang Ju and the merchants on the other side have a disobedient intention.
The list of royal party with a larger suppression has come out again. It not only includes a large number of new party ministers, but also includes former party ministers such as Fan Chunren, Li Qingchen and Wang Cun.
However, it is not fatal. On this list, there are also a large number of powerful border generals, Kumamoto, Zhang Shixiong, You Shixiong, and Zhong Shidao, who is not very good at dealing with Wang Ju, and Zhao Feng is also on this list. There are also several military supervisors who can fight with the war, namely, the eunuchs such as Li Xiang, who can't escape.
There are more than fifty lists of other ranks, all of which are the most powerful generals of the Song Dynasty, including Liu Changzuo who retired or even died, including Yao Lin, Yao Xiong, Yao Gu, Zhongyi, Zhongpu, Liu Zhongwu, Wang Guangzu, Liu Fa, Qu Zhen, Wang En, Guo Jingxiu, Zhao Long, Jia Yan, Zihu, Xue Yi, Wang Wenzhen, Liu Shaoneng, Guo Cheng, Miao Lu, etc., which include all the elites tempered by Song Xia's war over the past decade. Only the discount can be feasible and appropriate, because they are worried that Zhe family in the prefectures and provinces can be spared, and the rest are all on the royal party list.
This led to more than 120 people on this list, which gathered most of the civil and military elites of the Song Dynasty, but Liang Tao ignored it. Instead, he said that the royal party was so prosperous that the court would be strictly guarded to prevent the rebellious officials and traitors from reviving.
How to prevent it? Well, all the derogatory forces were demoted. This derogatory resulted in the demotion of all the pacifiers from Shaanxi's two borders, the three borders of Hedong, and the three borders of Hebei. All the prefects and magistrates from each prefecture were demoted to the south. Half of the prefects and magistrates from each prefecture were demoted to the south.
But the literati and officials in the court cheered for it, because according to the rules of Zhao Xu and Wang Ju, the leaders of the border roads and states and military officials must be held in the future. How can these literati and officials be willing to be willing to be demoted one by one by one by one by one by one, and then replace them with civil officials...
Then he issued an edict and sent troops to several ports of the Maritime Warehouse. When he saw the people of the Song Dynasty on each ship, he would arrest them. If he resisted, he would be killed.
But it is not easy to do this. No matter which Marine Bureau, there is not enough troops to implement this edict, and it must slowly gather in the rear. The seamen are not fools. They have learned the news long ago, so before the army arrives, they summoned merchants near the Marine Bureau to cancel the contract.
The current maritime trade has expanded greatly under the promotion of Wang Ju. The number of traded goods is getting larger and larger. However, due to the monsoon, we must place the transaction order in advance, otherwise it will be too late to prepare next year. However, the imperial court has done this now, and our fleet does not plan to come back next year, so these orders have to be banned. After this matter is handled, all ships set sail south.
The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were late. In fact, if these fleets did not leave, these officers and soldiers would not really be able to arrest and kill. Are they really fools?
But this is not a good thing. These transactions are not only the transaction itself, but also the additional industries involved. At least one-tenth of the economy in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty was more or less involved. The complete suspension of maritime trade, and the collapsed economy that had already begun, made even worse, but Liang Tao and the others ignored it.
The madness continued, including the greenhouse vegetables promoted by Wang Jusai, which were also banned by the court for being exhausted by the people and causing money to lure the people into extravagantness, and were banned from being indifferent.
There were no greenhouse vegetables, and there were crazy markets for some morning markets of fruits and vegetables in the Song Dynasty. In the past few years, the economy of the Song Dynasty was good, and the technology was not too complicated. Over the years, farmers in many wealthy prefectures and counties planted greenhouse vegetables.
How many people would have to be killed by this stick? You should know that 90% of those who can plant greenhouse vegetables on a large scale are local main households and have a certain influence.
Moreover, this industry also involves many people, including transportation and various vegetable dealers.
The imperial court prohibited it, starting from the people outside the capital, and going to all parts of the country, there was another terrible terror.
In the third year of Yonghe, they did something crazy.
In Wang Ju's previous life, Russia's real strength may not be stronger than China, but why are many countries afraid of Russia, not China, because they dare to fight.
It is precisely because China wants to exchange for a space for peaceful development that it becomes softer and softer, and then the United States and Japan openly divide the South China Sea.
In fact, it was very dangerous at that time because of the so-called arbitration, the United States and Japan had "legal basis" and legal basis, and there was a reason to take action. We did not open fire on your Chinese territory, and used this to oppress China.
If China continues to soften at that time, the South China Sea will be divided, and the next step will be even more dangerous. The South China Sea can be divided, and the Bay can be divided, and then to xz, xj.
The same is true for the Liao Kingdom to send troops to Xixia. Because the Song Dynasty was very soft to Liao Kingdom, Otla wrote a letter to Wang Ju, first protesting, and then stated that Xixia was not the territory of your Song Dynasty, so the war started here, using this to oppress the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops back.
As a result, he was beaten by the Song army. Later, Yelu Hongji and his ministers licked their wounds sadly. However, the changes in the political situation of the Song Dynasty once again gave them hope. This also shows that the incompetence of the Liao Kingdom was the Song Dynasty. It took them so long to be discovered.
However, if you find out, you have to use it, especially the generals of the army of the small roads and states on the edge were demoted to the south together, which gave the Liao Kingdom hope.
On the New Year's Day of the third year of Yonghe, the Liao envoy came to congratulate him, and then said that when the Song Dynasty used troops to the Western Xia, the ministers of the Western Xia belonged to the Song Dynasty, but also to the Khitan. Is there any mistake in the Khitan rescue? Did the Khitan send troops into the Song territory? Moreover, the Liao army has always focused on mediation. Otherwise, when the troops arrived in Youzhou, they would immediately cross the Yellow River westward. Can the Song Dynasty successfully capture Xingqing Prefecture?
Anyway, the main general on the battlefield either died or was demoted to the south, and he was just arguing.
However, the Song Dynasty took advantage of the Khitan's unpreparedness and destroyed the peace treaty, sent troops to Yunzhou, and forced the Khitan to sign an unequal treaty. Therefore, this alliance cannot be counted. However, for the sake of peace and friendship between the two countries, the Liao lord still gave the Song Dynasty a chance to return the Heishan area and the two Hexi prefectures. If the Song Dynasty did not agree, the Khitan would gather its army to go south!
Many ministers of the Song Dynasty were furious and protested.
However, some wise ministers shook their heads helplessly.
Faced with the threat from the Liao Kingdom, there was no way to fight. First, the economy collapsed and there was no sufficient financial support to start the war. Second, many of the main generals derogated the south and had no generals available.
The two countries renegotiated. A few days later, the court agreed to return the Heishan area and the Wudu Army, which was the Ningbian Prefecture of the original Liao Kingdom. This prefecture was occupied by the Liao Kingdom very early, but under the "strong insistence" of Wen Yanbo, Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi and others, the Song Dynasty still occupied Shengzhou and Yulin Army.
The treason of the country has made merits... The grassroots officials and the people below have accumulated terrible anger.
In fact, there is some truth. Wang Ju had already made a prediction to Cai Que, Zhang Dun and Zhang Shangying in secret. It was just these three people. After all, they could reveal it if they were too many people.
There are three reasons. Song Renzong did a good job. Although his martial arts were insufficient, the country began to accumulate many ills. However, under his example, these ills did not break out seriously, so the Song Dynasty became more prosperous and the court was generally quiet. Although the Song Dynasty began to decline in his later years, it was not obvious.
To be continued...
