"Son...Shaobao."

"Brother Han, let's call me Zi'an." Wang Judao. After not seeing each other for several years, the two met at the end of this plank road, and their eyes showed endless joy.

"Then let me be Zi'an," Han Yun said carelessly, "Zi'an, I have calmed down the inn in Xiegu."

The Shu road was difficult, and it was harder than going up to the sky. However, with the stability of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of business, many caravans appeared on several difficult Shu roads. In addition, the Song Dynasty government also used the timber of the Qinling Mountains to build some inland transport ships every year, so a dock was set up at the exit of the Xiegu, which was not as large as that of Qianzhou, but not small. So a prosperous market town was formed here, which is what Han Yun called Xiegu Town.

Going a little further is Hengqu where Zhang Zai teaches.

But unlike in history, Zhang Zai has been in a bad mood in history, and is in a poor mood. In addition, he lived a poor life and died a few years ago. But now, due to Wang Ju's push, Zhang Zai is healthy and still alive.

King Ju of Hengqu must go, but Han Yun came over so far away, which had nothing to do with Hengqu.

"Zi'an, the autumn festival of the imperial court ended, and the officials awarded some scholars and officials."

"Who are there?"

"Duke Wen was added to the two Jiedushi hundreds of households, and Fu Gong was appointed as the Situ and Grand Tutor, and he was posthumously awarded Duke Liu Han and Duke Wang Yaochen, and also granted Duke Wen, Duke Fu Gong, Duke Liu, and several official positions."

"Brother Han, don't think too much. Although Duke Wen and Fu Gong have gone on, they have a deep experience. The official family intends to appease this. As for the prince and Duke Liu, they are good at official affairs and have made contributions to the Song Dynasty. It is just because of various reasons. The two previous emperors were slightly less favorable, so the official family is now making up for their kindness."

But that's more.

As for the Song Dynasty, the first is the ritual system, and the second is the large-scale reward.

In this autumn festival, except for these four people, other ministers such as Wang Gui, Cao Qi, Zhao Hao, Feng Jing, Han Jiang, Yang Sui, etc., relatives, royal family and military generals, including the heroes of Pingnan, such as Erzhang, Kumamoto and Yanda, and other civil and military officials, all had some rewards.

But in addition to the prosperity and peace of the country, the autumn festival was held, and there was another meaning, that is, to expand territory. No matter what Wang Anli and others thought, Wang Ju destroyed the two countries and surrendered to one country, which really greatly increased the prestige of the Song Dynasty. After hearing that Wang Ju returned to the north, the people of Xixia became honest again.

Therefore, in addition to solemnly rewarding or posthumously giving these four people, Zhao Xu also prepared to award Wang Ju a Duke and a Jiedushi.

Forget it, Wang Ju is too young after all. But there is no problem in being appointed as a military governor.

However, after the Yizheng County case occurred, the court was talking a lot, and many ministers impeached Wang Ju. Regardless of the truth, at least you can't kill people like this, and you have killed so many people.

Anyway, they can say this and that.

But it was true that Wang Ju could avoid killing people at that time. As long as he shouted, would the dozens of officers and soldiers dare to step forward? But Wang Ju was angry at that time and asked his subordinates to take action, killing more than a dozen officers and soldiers in an instant, which also led to a big case of storm.

The officials and clerks in Yizheng County were sad, and Wang Ju and Bashu reported the report to the court. Zhao Xu was furious and immediately issued an edict to ask Qiongzhou to arrest all the people and take them to the capital, and the Censorate personally interrogated the case.

However, this made many scholars and officials disgusted.

In this impeachment book, Zhao Xu could no longer reward Wang Ju.

"It doesn't matter whether you reward it or not." Wang Judao.

The so-called Jiedushi was not the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. It was just an official. If Wang Ju gets it, his salary would increase by thousands of guan a year. However, Wang Juzhen takes it to heart for thousands of guan?

"Zi'an, but Mr. Chen and Mr. Zeng both left the capital."

Shen Kuo and Zeng Xiaokuan have nothing to do with Wang Ju. Besides, it is normal for the officials of the Song Dynasty to go up and down. Han Yun pointed to another point. Wang Ju has a high status in the hearts of many generals, but he is even more aggravated in the officialdom.

Therefore, when we arrived in the capital, it was mainly due to the help of the civil officials, but Wang Ju’s friends among the civil officials were only a few. The best two chapters were in Jiaozhi and Dali, and we also hoped that Wang Ju would protect him.

Because of his brother's involvement, Xiao Su went to Yunzhou to monitor the salt and wine tax.

Lu Huiqing is okay, but he is in Shaanxi.

Zeng Xiaokuan, Shen Kuolue and Wang Ju had some friendship, but they also left the capital and went to work in the local area.

This means that Wang Ju will be isolated and helpless when he arrives in the capital.

Wang Ju frowned.

One hero and three gangs, what Han Yun said is a big joke.

It was not until this time that Wang Ju walked out of the joy of being a member of the political affairs.

He murmured: "This assistant minister is a bit hot."

"Zi'an, it's okay to have my opinion. If you walk on it, you will be better than not." Han Yun said.

His meaning was that after Wang Ju arrived in the East Mansion, he would take forbearance as the best and act as gilded. Therefore, he could no longer be impulsive when doing things like Yizheng County, which would allow his opponent to seize the handle.

"Brother Han, don't say it, I really want to do something this time..."

"Zi'an, if you really want to do things, you can do things so high-profile and be low-key."

"I won't talk about this, how is that done?"

"It's doubled, has it..."

"continue."

"Zi'an, I spent a lot of money."

“How much more money is spent.”

"That's true. Zi'an has a loyal heart to the Song Dynasty, but Song Dynasty is too thin to Zi'an."

"It's not too bad. At this age, I should be envious of the political affairs of the former Duke Kou Lai."

Han Yun didn't know whether Wang Ju was laughing at himself or saying the truth. He was stunned and said, "Zi'an, now military achievements are gradually becoming a burden to you."

"But no matter what, Xixia must be pacified..." Wang Ju's eyes suddenly lit up.

It is not easy to destroy the Western Xia.

It is not Dali, with poor overall strength and no assistance from Tubo during the Tang Dynasty. As long as it can bypass the local environment, climate, water and soil, it can be won in one fell swoop. However, Xixia has real strength. Moreover, when the Western Xia is about to perish, wouldn’t the Liao Kingdom take action?

Therefore, the decision makers must completely obey his opinions, and Zhao Xu will obey his opinions, but in this situation, will he completely obey his opinions?

Not only Xixia, but also the subsequent good-quality reforms...

So he was thinking along the way.

"It's not okay if you don't have to be cruel." He thought to himself.

"Brother Han, you came from the capital. Did you hear any rumors?"

"There are also relevant rap books in the various gangs in the capital, but since what Zi'an did in Yizheng County was spread to the capital, the imperial court sent the Imperial City Department to investigate the source of the rumors in the capital."

Don't take this seriously. Where to check it? It's just a pain. It's just released soon.

"How did the people talk about it?"

"There are many people who support Zi'an. They think that the Jiaozhi people are cruel first, and Zi'an did not do anything wrong. Some people also think that although Zi'an made great contributions, his methods in the south were indeed a bit cruel... and it still had some influence. Zi'an is really very miserable. Not to mention anything else, just say that if Zi'an hadn't taken action, how many people would starve to death?"

"Don't mention it again after that action, although I took action to provide disaster relief, the court agreed to us to migrate a large number of people."

"Officials, at worst, don't do this prime minister." Qiong Niang said from the side.

Wang Ju laughed.

"Official, let's go home quickly."

Wang Ju's journey has been wandering in the south for too long. Qiong Niang missed home and children.

However, this line still did not get faster. First, it was in Hengqu Town...

"Jiu, come and see. These are two new articles written by me." Zhang Zai said.

Wang Jujiang opened two articles and read them. The first one is called "Yao Change".

In fact, Zhang Zai's famous "Xi Ming" begins with the Yi Gua: Gan is called father, Kun is called mother; I am despised, and it is mixed in the middle. Therefore, the barrier of heaven and earth is my body; the commander of heaven and earth is my nature, the people, my compatriots; things are my fellows... Wealth is rich and prosperous, and we will be prosperous; poor and humble, and we will be mediocre, and you will be successful. If you have no, I will be at peace.

This article of gentleness and kindness is called one of the four great essays of the Song Dynasty.

But in this article, Zhang Zai is not clear enough.

It’s not that he has no ability to write, but that he hasn’t thought clearly and cannot write it out if he can’t think clearly.

Over the years, the master and apprentice often wrote letters and exchanged letters, and were infected by Wang Ju, so this line change occurred.

The sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, Qian and Kun do not count. These two hexagrams represent the beginning of heaven and earth, and the division of yin and yang. Therefore, with the third hexagram, all things will begin to be born, which is very difficult. It is just to adapt to heaven and earth, so it will surely flourish. But at this time, it is still very weak, so there is a more difficult fourth hexagram Meng hexagram...

This shows that the world is not immovable, just like a country must have different response methods at all times from its beginning to its establishment to its prosperity.

Not only are the sixty-four hexagrams changing, but there are also six lines in each hexagram.

In fact, Zhang Zai and Wang Ju have similar ideas in this regard, and they agree with reform. The country is so embarrassed that it cannot help but rescue disasters. Can we not change the law? But his differences with Wang Anshi are on how to change.

It was not until he met Wang Ju and was influenced by Wang Ju that Zhang Zai's thoughts gradually matured, such as this article's change of the line.

How to change, change its shortcomings, and promote its strengths.

Just like during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ming did nothing wrong in paying attention to martial arts.

"Sima Law" says that even if a country is big, it will perish if it is wary. Even if the world is safe, it will perish if it is forgotten.

There are similar words in the Book of Changes: A gentleman should remove military weapons and avoid unpredictable things. His military should not be played with, and he would have no power; his military should not be abolished, and he would have summoned enemies. In the past, King Fuchai of Wu died when he was wary, and King Xu Yan was destroyed without martial arts. Therefore, the Ming king was in charge of the country, and the superiors did not play military weapons, and the inferiors did not abandon martial arts.

The current example is the Southern Tang Dynasty. In fact, the civil and economic economy of the Song Dynasty was not as good as that of the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, due to the various things of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was quickly destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

Although it cannot be said that the Southern Tang Dynasty was absolutely in danger of forgetting the war, it was almost the same.

Therefore, the mistake of Emperor Ming was that he attached too much importance to martial arts. He did not follow the situation and forgot to fight and would inevitably lead to danger, but to follow the situation and would lead to death if he was warlike.

The second mistake was the wrong direction. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, there were countless civil officials and generals, so they managed to the west of the Pamir Mountains. However, at the hands of Emperor Ming, at least when the soldiers were not as powerful as Emperor Taizong of Tang. In addition, the Khitan Xi people began to gradually become stronger and defeated the Tang army many times. Most of Qinghai also added powerful Tubo occupation.

But in this environment, the Ming Emperor still did not give up on the Hezhong area. Think about where the Hezhong is. Only the area from the Aral Sea to the west of the Tianshan Mountains is called Hezhong, not the Hezhong Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. In ancient times, it was absolutely incredible and unimaginable to transfer troops from the Central Plains to the distant Hezhong area in the Song Dynasty.

If Emperor Ming rationally gave up the river and put his troops in Qinghai, Qinghai was very close to Chang'an. Most of the troops were in Qinghai, would An Lushan dare to rebel? He dared to do so. Can the troops be quickly recovered? At least when An Lushan's troops entered Tongguan, Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan could place some of the powerful direct troops in Chang'an. Then is there any harm to the Anshi Rebellion?

The Ming Emperor did not make timely adjustments, and the powerful Tang Dynasty disappeared overnight.

This statement... cannot be said to be wrong.

But after this long article of change of the line, Zhang Zai still talked about Wang Anshi's reform. At the beginning of Xining, the country was in a difficult situation and moderately accumulated wealth, so it would be fine if it was blocked from the national treasury. However, the national treasury was full, and some laws for accumulating wealth were cancelled.
