Chapter 28 Section ten

While Shi Yue was experimenting with the pendulum in the Shen Mansion, Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi were almost tit for tat in the Jiying Hall. Wen Yanbo said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Sang Chongguo is really a villain. Because of him, the former has students gathered to kowtow and ignore the emperor's law. Now he dares to make a decision and doesn't pay attention to the court at all! I think it's true. This kind of newspaper that has no distinction between superiors and inferiors should be closed." Sun Gu has a good personal relationship with him, and they share the same political views, and they are like-minded comrades. This time Wen Yanbo hated Sang Chongguo to the bone.

However, Wang Anshi said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Sang Chongguo is only reporting things fairly. Although there are naturally suspicions of injustice in terms of personal friendship, there is nothing wrong in terms of justice." "Huang Song Publishing Edict "Since it is here, the court should act according to the law." Wen Yanbo argued loudly: "Jiefu, should everything be done in accordance with the law? Saints say that they should be taboo for the venerable, the sage, and the relatives. Could it be that the teachings of the saints are not as good as that so-called law? "

Wang Anshi said with a sneer: "The righteousness of a saint includes the great righteousness of destroying relatives. Your Majesty, I don't know Sang Chongguo well, and I don't have friendship with you. However, I know that the court's laws are not lightly established. Once they are set, they must abide by them. Sang Chongguo I was criticized by Master Wen for the first time, is it really because Sang Chongguo talked about His Holiness? Before that, the "Bianjing News" discussed a lot of court officials, why didn't I hear a word of criticism from Master Wen?"

Zhang Shangying, who had just arrived in the capital, stood aside, seeing Wang Anshi speak so mercilessly, and secretly sighed in her heart.Zhang Dun had been in charge of the local area, and what he had done was invincible. As a result, several local officials pushed him out, convinced Zhang Dun with his words, and was recommended to the emperor by Zhang Dun. When he first came to meet Sheng, he encountered such Hot scene... Wen Yanbo said that he couldn't beat Wang Anshi, so he knelt down and said with a pause, "Your Majesty, I really don't have much knowledge and knowledge. It's an old bone. It's not suitable for the time. Please let your majesty let me go to another county."

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Mr. Wen, now that the Northwest is using troops, how can there be no one in the shufu? This is a trivial matter for the Sangchong Kingdom, so don't be arrogant. You are an important minister of the country, how can you easily abandon me?" Wen Yanbo said in a loud voice: "It is useless for veterans to stay in the court, and it is not appropriate. The court talks about reforms, reforms, and can ignore the ancestors' family laws; the court talks about legislation, legislation, but it doesn't even listen to the teachings of the saints. Up and down are out of order, The yin and yang are lost, this is the time when the rituals are broken and the joy is broken. The old minister can't bear to see this, your majesty thinks that the old minister is loyal to the country, so please let him go to other counties."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu had no choice but to comfort him with gentle words: "Mr. Wen, you must be in the shufu, and you should be reluctant to do so. The appointment of a minister by the court is not trivial. If you want to invite outsiders, I will not allow you. Like this , This is the end of the discussion today, Qing and others should leave first, and the prime minister and Zhang Shangying will stay." After all the ministers and workers had retired, Zhao Xu took a look at Zhang Shangying. This young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old was very handsome, with star-like eyes and piercing eyes.Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling a little fond, and said, "Zhang Qing, Zhang Dun highly praised your knowledge."

"Don't dare, that's Master Zhang's absurd praise." Zhang Shangying said modestly. "Is Zhang Dun a person who likes to say good things about others?" Zhao Xu said with a smile, "What's Zhang Qing's opinion on the court's implementation of the new law?" "The new law is a good law. If it is adopted by the right people and implemented slowly, it will be beneficial to the country. If it is not for the right people and eager for quick success, it will be harmful to the country." Zhang Shangying said bluntly without looking at Wang Anshi.

"Oh." Zhao Xu was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "Then what do you think about "Bianjing News"?" Zhang Shangying thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, I think that "Bianjing News" is beneficial to the country." "How did you see that?" "I heard that the people in charge of "Bianjing News" are Sang Chongguo, Cheng Hao, and Ouyang Fa. Of these three people, Sang Chongguo offended Deng Wan, and this time even Shi Yue, Shen Kuo, and Sun Gu were offended. It can be seen that this person is a person of great character; Cheng Hao and Ouyang Fa have long been famous, and the world is called a gentleman. If such a person is in charge, "Bianjing News" will not be harmful to the country. What's more, newspapers are one thing, one can be Inspire the wisdom of the people and educate the people; second, it can make corrupt officials fearful, and they can't deceive their superiors and inferiors; It is convenient, if the court ministers read the newspaper every day, they will not be separated from their subordinates. Therefore, I think that "Bianjing News" is beneficial to the country."

Zhao Xu nodded, and smiled at Wang Anshi: "Prime Minister, Zhang Shangying has good knowledge. But when it comes to Sang Chongguo, he is just Li Sheng today. He is a human being, and I will not take him." Wang Anshi couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the emperor used the allusion of "Li Sheng sells friends".However, he and Sang Chongguo still have a feud when it comes to talking about it. Wang Anshi is not a saint after all, so he is not willing to say too many good things for Sang Chongguo. Zhao Xu continued: "However, Li Sheng's betrayal of friends is also beneficial to the Liu family. Therefore, it cannot be added to the crime. In terms of justice, I have to say that he is right. The most gratifying thing is that Shi Yue did not Forming a party, all rumors will be self-defeating, it is time to see people's hearts."

Wang Anshi also had no choice but to say: "Shi Yue is very cautious in his actions, and he probably doesn't dare to mess with the law." Zhang Shangying was at the side but didn't dare to intervene, so she had to listen obediently. Zhao Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing is talented and dare to speak, so go to Yushitai to be the supervisory censor Lixing." Although the supervisory censor Lixing is not a high official, he is very respected. Hearing this appointment, Zhang Shangying was also overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
