Chapter 355 Wang Anshi is under siege
When Su Shi saw Wang Anshi's arbitrary decision, he felt unfair. He once asked the Jinshi to make a plan and drafted the test. The title was: Wu of Jin pacified Wu, and defeated him by himself. Fu Jian replaced Jin, and died by himself by himself. Qi Huan was appointed Guan Zhong and was defeated. Yan Kuai was appointed as Zizhi and was defeated. He was the same and different people were asked. This was naturally a use of the topic to ridicule Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi then asked Su Shi to be the chief official of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Su Shi submitted another memorial to criticize the new law. As soon as this memorial was submitted, Wang Anshi became more angry and asked the censor Xie Jingwen to report Su Shi's crimes. Su Shi asked for an external commemoration, and Zhao Xu ordered him to be the ruling of Hangzhou.
At this time, the West Lake in Hangzhou was not dredged for a long time and was blocked by more than half. The lake was flat and the lake was covered with lush years. The lake water gradually dried up, and the lake was covered with weeds, which seriously affected agricultural production. The second year when Su Shi came to Hangzhou, he led the crowd to dredge the West Lake, mobilized more than 200,000 migrant workers to expel the fields, restore the old view, and built three towers at the deepest part of the lake as a symbol. He concentrated the dug silt and built a long dike running through the West Lake. The dike had six bridges connected to pedestrians. Later generations called the "Su Gong Dike", which is "Su Dike". In the early morning of spring, Su Dike was filled with smoke and willows, wavy trees, and birds and orioles. It is one of the ten famous West Lake scenes, "Su Dike Spring Dawn".
According to legend, Su Shi had a girl named Xiaomei who could also write poetry. She married the scholar Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou and sang the most with Su Shi. Su Shi was also good friends with Foyin, and often played the piano and discussed poetry together, and wandered leisurely on the lake.
In the fifth year of Yuanyou, it rained heavily in western Zhejiang and Taihu Lake flooded. Su Shi directed the West Lake to build Su Dike. The people of Hangzhou thanked him. During the Chinese New Year, everyone carried pigs and wine to greet him. Su Shi instructed his family to cut the pork into squares, cook it red and crispy, and then distributed it to everyone. This is the origin of Dongpo pork.
One day, Su Shi wrote a poem, "Chunting in the sky, the light shines on the vast thousand, the eight winds cannot blow, sitting upright on the purple golden lotus" to present it to Foyin. The Zen master immediately criticized the word "farting" and asked the book boy to bring it back. After seeing this, Dongpo was furious and immediately crossed the river to question the Zen master. The Zen master laughed and said, "Bachelor, Bachelor, aren't you 'eight winds cannot blow'? Why did another 'farting' hit the river?" Eight winds are Buddhist terms, referring to the winds in eight realms: praise, ridicule, destruction, praise, profit, decline, suffering, and joy. In the early years of Renzong, when he read the policy of the two Su, he was overjoyed: "I have two prime ministers for my descendants."
However, after Su Shi was transferred to the outside world, the court dismissed Han Wei, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Ouyang Xiu of Caizhou. Because Fu Bi stopped Qing Miao, he was exiled to Ruzhou. Wang Anshi called Fu Bi, for example, for Gun and Gonggong, and asked to be severely punished. Zhao Xu was still thinking about Lao Cheng and could not bear to be punished. Wang Anshi recommended Deng Wan, the magistrate of Ningzhou, as a censor.
Deng Wan, whose courtesy name was Wenyue, was from Shuangliu, Chengdu. Later, he passed the imperial examination and was the first in the Ministry of Rites. Soon, he was promoted to Yuanwailang. In the winter of the third year of Xining, Deng Wan was appointed as the magistrate of Ningzhou. At that time, Wang Anshi wrote a letter to list dozens of current affairs, believing that the Song Dynasty was prosperous for a hundred years, people were accustomed to stability and indulging in peace, and should carry out reforms. He wrote a letter to advise: "Your Majesty was assisted by Yi and Lu, and formulated the Qingmiao Law, the exemption law and other regulations. The people did not praise your kindness. Based on what I saw in Ningzhou, this was like this. With the experience of management, the same was true for the world. If there was a very good method, I hope that you would not be superficial and resolutely implement it."
At that time, Changping, water conservancy, exemption from service, and Baojia systems were all made by the Jinjiang, so Wang Anshi used Deng Wan to deter him.
Everyone. Deng Wan asked for the exemption of corvee service in Kaifeng Prefecture first, and then in various prefectures and counties. Lizhou Road consumed 96,000 yuan in money every year, while Li Yu had about 300,000 yuan in transportation. Deng Wan said: "Average corvee service was originally to make the people rich, but now he is committed to forcing the levy to collect horizontal levies and accumulate wealth to make himself rich. Such matters should be punished more severely."
Fu Bi was in Bozhou and did not distribute the money from the green seedlings. Deng Wan asked to hand it over to the relevant departments for investigation. The people in the suburbs of Beijing appealed because of the law of assisting the service. The emperor issued an edict to ask whether the law of assisting the service could be implemented on both sides. Deng Wan and Zeng Bu handed the letter back to the hall. Yang Hui, the chief minister, said that he had not heard that the corps of the Ministry of Agriculture could exercise his powers, so he did not reply. As a result, all the direct officials and chief clerks set up by Lu Gong and Xie Jingwen were removed from their posts, and Cai Que and Tang Yan were recommended as the censor.
In the spring of the fifth year of Xining, the Liao people came to invade the border and stationed their troops on the border, threatening to send troops. So the two rivers were martial law and ordered the construction of war equipment to guard the city north of the Yellow River. Deng Wan said: "This is not only unhelpful, but also very disturbing the people and consuming materials." The emperor followed his advice and stopped the matter.
He also said: "The Liao people pretended to argue about the land border, and their intention was to peek at our country. Last winter, they gathered their troops for several months and wandered on the border for a long time before stopping by themselves. The hypocrisy can be seen. Now we should resist them tenaciously, so that the equality between the two countries will not change. If fair, they will not doubt us, and we can make plans for the long term. If we are afraid and surrender, they may argue with reason, then this is the greatest shame in the Central Plains." After reading the memorial, the emperor admired his views very much.
His fellow villagers stayed in the capital and laughed at Wang Wan and insulted him. However, Wang Wan said with satisfaction: "It's up to him to laugh and scold him, and I always do good officials." Since Wang Wan was the censor, he helped Wang Anshi.
Yang Hui, the chief censor, submitted a request to dismiss the law of service, and also requested to summon Lu Hui, Fan Zhen, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Lu Tao and others, so he was sent to the prefecture of Zhengzhou. Liu Zhi, the censor, also attacked the law of service of service, which had ten major harms and was exiled to the salt warehouse in Hengzhou.
Lu Hui became sick due to his worries, so he reported to Zhao Xu and continued to attack Wang Anshi, saying, "I have no last disease. I was mistaken for the doctor's mistake in the prescription. The disaster will prolong the confidant and will not be able to arise. I am not satisfied with my whole body, but the nine clans have no support and can't die." Zhao Xu ignored him. Lu Hui died of illness soon after, and he was the grandson of Lu Duan.
Soon, Ouyang Xiu also died of illness in Yingzhou. Ouyang Xiu was ordered to compile the "Book of Tang" and the record, and he also wrote the "Histor of the Five Dynasties" by himself. Su Shi once wrote a preface: "On the great way is like Han Yu, discussing things is like Lu Zhi, recording things is like Sima Qian, and poetry is like Li Bai." Ouyang Xiu was originally from Luling, and in his later years he liked the customs of Yingchuan, so he used it as his residence. He was named Zuiweng and later Liuyi Jushi. After his death, he was awarded the title of Prince Taishi and was posthumously named Wenzhong.
Wang Anshi had a son named Wang Rong. He was very smart and could not forget his studies. When he was only a few years old, a guest gave him a deer and a deer and locked him up. The guest asked him, "Which is just a deer, and which is just a deer?" He had never seen these two rare animals. After looking at it for a long time, he replied, "The one next to the deer is just a deer, and the one next to the deer is just a deer." The guest was very surprised when he heard this.
When he was thirteen years old, when he heard someone discussing the issue of the Qinghai Fan tribe, he sighed with concern.
Xidao: "This can be used to be comforted and exist. If Xixia gets it, then my enemy will be strong and the border will be full of troubles." In the Tao River, the various Qinghai tribes in the Yellow River Basin bordered Xixia in the north and the Song Dynasty in the east. Xixia has long been eyeing this area. Once it has it, it will form a key to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, fighting for the Qinghai tribes became the key to the victory or defeat of the war between Song and Xia. A young man who was only thirteen years old could see the fire of such a big event and put forward his own opinions, which shows that he was old and mature.
He had already written tens of thousands of words when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. Later, he passed the exam and was transferred to Jingdewei. He didn't take it long before he resigned and went home. He wrote more than 20 articles at home, talking about major affairs in the world. Wang Anshi could not restrain Wang Rong, so he had to let him be free. Moreover, he was very talented and had a surprising discussion. Even Wang Anshi himself felt that he was inferior to him.
When Wang Anshi was participating in politics, Cheng Hao came to visit and talked about current affairs with Wang Anshi. When they were defying each other, they suddenly saw Wang Yun walking out with barefoot, holding a woman's hat in his hand, and asked his father, "What are you talking about?" Wang Anshi said, "Because the new law has been man-made obstruction several times, we are discussing with Cheng Jun." Wang Yun sat down in an extremely contemptuous posture, and then shouted carelessly: "If Han Qi is cut off and Fu Bi's head is in the market, then the new law can be implemented."
Wang Anshi immediately said, "My son is wrong." Cheng Hao was originally a Taoist master, but when he saw Wang Yun's shape, he naturally couldn't stand it. After hearing Wang Yun's words, he couldn't bear it and said, "I talked about state affairs with the participating political parties, and it is not convenient for his children to participate." Wang Yun was so angry that his face was so blue that he stood out, and he wanted to punch him. Wang Anshi hurriedly stopped him and asked him to withdraw, and he left reluctantly.
When Wang Anshi became prime minister, he promoted many young people. Wang Yun then said to his father: "Most of your corporations are the ones who are good at playing the title. Can I not compare with them?" Wang Anshi said: "You only know one thing, not the other. The ruling son cannot pre-select a position in the office. This is the pre-selected rule of this dynasty, and it is not convenient to change it without permission." Wang Yun smiled and said: "The selection of a house is impossible, and the imperial court cannot participate in the imperial court?" Wang Anshi was questioned by him and said for a while: "The court officials are attacking me for abuse of personal use. If you enter the court again, you may be even more criticized."
Wang Rong said again, "My father is so concerned about it, so the new law cannot be implemented in a hurry." Wang Anshi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Do you still keep the suggestions you made and the "Laozi Examination"?" Wang Rong replied, "It's all collected." Wang Anshi said, "You go and take them out, I'm useful." Wang Rong went to the Zhongshu room, took out the manuscripts and handed them to Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi called his family and asked him to print them into a book and sell them at a low price.
People in the capital purchased reading one after another, and soon the book flowed into the palace. Zhao Xu also read this book and was quite admirable. Deng Wan and Zeng Buzheng took the opportunity to recommend Wang Rong to come and see him. So Zhao Xu summoned Wang Rong to come in. When Wang Rong reported to him, he suggested to implement the new method and gradually become rich and strong. Zhao Xu was very happy, so he gave him the title of Prince Zhongyun and the storyteller in Chongzheng Hall. Wang Rong admired Shang Yang in his life, and once said that he would not kill those who had objections, and the new method was difficult to implement.
Wang Anshi also submitted a request to implement the Municipal Change Law, and appointed Lu Jiawen, the judge of the Ministry of Revenue, to propose the proposal. Then he implemented the Horse Protection Law, and ordered Zeng to issue regulations and spread all over the country. Later, he implemented the Fangtian method, which was opened from Jingdong Road and gradually implemented.
