Every dynasty and every generation have its own wonderful stories, and many times, history is more exciting than novels.

For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, people from Chu flooded King Zhou, and King Mu traveled around the world, and beacons played with the princes.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were even more lively. Later generations called it the axis era of mankind. Various classics that laid the foundation for later generations emerged, like bright stars, and long-lasting.

In the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor changed the world. After the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty officially regarded the Han family as its clan. The Han people became the title for thousands of years thereafter, imprinted on this ancient country and became eternal glory.

However, the Han Dynasty died due to its strength. After hundreds of years of turmoil, China was like a huge melting pot. In the vast killing, it melted the blood of the Hu people and the hard bones of the Han people together, recasting the soul of China. Yang Jian opened the Sui Dynasty and Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty. After a hundred years of war, it ushered in unprecedented vitality and tolerance and openness to accommodate all rivers.

The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Li Jing, who defeated the barbarians with three thousand light cavalry, and Li Longji, who ruled the Kaiyuan period, belonged to the Chinese era. Until the Anshi period, the sky collapsed and prosperity came to an end.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, all kinds of powerful men appeared, and finally unified the Zhao family and established civilized rule in the Song Dynasty.

Later historians all believed that the culture of China reached its peak in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and literary tycoons emerged in the Song Dynasty. Not only that, but the economy and commerce also reached unprecedented success, but these did not leave much impression on later generations.

Anyone who read a little history when people mentioned the Song Dynasty, in addition to military weakness, there was another person who would definitely mention that this person was Wang Anshi.

Compared with the events of the previous dynasty, Wang Anshi can be said to be a very representative existence in the history of the Song Dynasty, and even a particularly alternative existence in the entire Chinese history.

This person was very controversial, not only in later generations, but also in the Song Dynasty. Not only when he was alive, but even after his death, he chatted about his affairs.

Many people in later generations only knew that he had changed his law in the Shenzong Dynasty. After checking it on Baidu, how could he find the content of his reform? But if the content of his reform had an impact on the current world, the mother said that the mother had a right and the mother said that the mother had a right and the mother had a right.

Some even judged that Wang Anshi was the culprit of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and should be fully responsible!

Some people also say that although Wang Anshi's reform failed in the end, it enriched the national treasury and improved the combat effectiveness of the army, which made Zhao Song survive for at least another hundred years.

Wang Anshi's words, "The changes of heaven are not worth fearing, the ancestors are not worth law, and people are not worth care about." At that time, the storm waves were also rolled up.

How awesome is this sentence?

What is the meaning of heaven in ancient times? It is God, God is the master of the universe and the law of nature. When people encounter misfortunes, they will beg God for tolerance.

The emperor and the king are granted the power of heaven, and are the sons of heaven and herdsmen on behalf of heaven.

In ancient times, there were special officials to check the celestial phenomena. Once the celestial phenomena were unknown, it means that the heaven was angry and warned the emperor that the emperor must issue an edict to guilt.

Now Wang Anshi said, "The change of heaven is not worth fearing." This is just pointing at the heaven and saying to the emperor that there is no need to be afraid of heaven's changes, but be afraid of him. People are the biggest and most awesome! So what if there is change? People conquer nature!

Look at whether his thoughts are awesome or not, is it scary or not!

In ancient China, a society based on clans was a society. The country was a large clan, followed by prefectures, and the family was the smallest clan. The country had ancestral temples, and the court was compared to a temple. The family had ancestral halls, and even small families had tablets.

This relationship structure is deeply rooted in China in the agricultural civilization, even if it is open and rising in later generations, many places have not been eliminated.

To maintain this relationship structure, which concept must be used to last for a long time?

The ancestors are the biggest, and the things that the ancestors have decided cannot be changed randomly. This is to maintain the stability of the clan. Otherwise, people will be restless and do it, and the good family will be destroyed and harm everyone.

What does Wang Anshi mean by saying "Ancestors are not qualified to have laws"? That is, the rules of ancestors do not necessarily follow them!

The general meaning is to tell the emperor that you should not be afraid of God. If you can kill him, don’t be afraid of the rules set by your ancestors. You can modify them!

Finally, there is another sentence "People don't have enough to care about", which is also very sarcastic!

There is an idiom in China called "Three People Make a Tiger". What does it mean? It is about a person who has a brain-cutting person saying that there is a cute cerebral axe on the street biting people, so others say that he is a lunatic.

As soon as he finished speaking, another person jumped and said that there was a cute cerebral axe on the street biting people.

So everyone said that neuropathy can also be contagious, and another neuropathy came.

So the third person ran away and said that there was a cute cerebral axe on the street biting people.

Still a psychopath! (Three was a divisor in ancient times, which was a lot)

But one after another, people said that there were cute cerebral axes on the street biting people. If you don’t believe it now, you don’t have the courage to do so!

Especially in the feudal society with strict hierarchy, people's words are not as terrifying as people in later generations will be finished just by scolding each other online. Someone wants to exaggerate and pass it on to the emperor to kill you.

Wang Anshi now told the emperor that "people don't care about words", which means, Emperor, in addition to not being afraid of heaven and ancestors, you must also not be afraid of people's rumors.

Let me ask? In the feudal history of China, which prime minister dared to say such things to the emperor?

So, Song Shenzong, who was determined to be a hero, regretted that Wang Anshi met too late, but the Song Dynasty's husbands jumped. Not only the husbands jumped, but even the empress and queens in the harem jumped, not only the women in the harem jumped, but even Wang Anshi's students jumped.

Damn! What are you doing? Are you trying to make the emperor fight against the sky and earth, and then fight against the ancestors and then fight against the officials?

Labor and capital believe in your evil!

So Sima Guang stood up resolutely and didn’t mess with you? Just the matter of your new law will make the public resentment, which will make the government office rich and the people suffer. This is called competing for profit with the people and exploitation!

Therefore, with the support of the emperor and the opposition of all officials across the country, Wang Anshi's reforms struggled to move forward in this extremely contradictory environment, and at the same time, they also caused the emergence of the old and new factions in the Song Dynasty. From then on to the Huizong era, they had a far-reaching influence.

This can be said to be a phenomenon that was not available in any era of the previous dynasty.

Zhao Huan was naturally very clear about these things. In his opinion, if something has been complicated, it will be solved in the simplest and most rude way.

After pulling around, the thread was even more messy!

Liu Yanzong was right. Wang Anshi could not move them. After all, Wang Anshi was just the prime minister. The power of the Northern Song Dynasty was incomparable to the power of the Qin and Han dynasties. They were subject to checks and balances everywhere. To change all this, the emperor must personally take action.
