Chapter 16 fourth quarter
"So, Shi Yue's "Analects of Justice" was printed with wooden movable type?" Wang Anshi asked in surprise, looking at the beautifully printed "Analects of Confucius" in his hand.
Zeng Bu shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, according to what I have learned about Shi Yue, he is an all-rounder. But he has no ability to make wooden movable type printing as exquisite as engraving." Said, taking out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius and Justice" from his bosom, and said with a smile: "Master, please take a look, this is printed with wooden movable type. The one in your hand is the first edition, but it is printed by woodblock."
Wang Anshi took the book, compared it for a while, and sighed: "It's not too far away." After sighing for a while, he pondered: "This "Analects of Confucius" is signed by six people. According to my opinion, this book was written by Shi Yue before he appeared. , Sang Chongguo is silent and unknown, Tang Di, Li Dunmin, Chai Guiyou, and Chai Guiyi are just one stroke, how can they have such knowledge and knowledge? It must be written by Shi Yue alone."
"I heard that Su Shi and Shi Yue have a close relationship, or he knows how to look closely."
"Su Shi?" Wang Anshi frowned.Because Su Shi always played against him, he deliberately transferred Su Shi to Kaifeng Mansion as a pusher, trying to trap him with trivial official duties. Unexpectedly, Su Shi handled official affairs with a sharp and clear reputation, which made Wang Anshi very unhappy.
"Father, a mere Shi Yue, why bother so much? From my point of view, he is also a man who deserves his name." Zeng Bu knows what to say without looking, it must be Wang Anshi's beloved son Wang Yu.
Wang Anshi became furious, and said angrily: "A person who has earned a false reputation? You are limited to finish reading this "The Analects of Confucius" within two days, and then tell me that he has earned a false reputation!"
The corners of Wang Yu's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a sneer, "I've already read it, 'Don't ask the Xiangjiang Bridge to enter the water, you will be ashamed to die ruthlessly in this life', Shi Jiuchang is nothing more than mediocre." He quoted Shi Yue's popular words and phrases.
Zeng Bu had known Wang Anshi's son for a long time. He was very clever since he was a child, and he was called a "child prodigy". Then the enemy is too strong to be restrained." Before he even took the adult ceremony, he wrote tens of thousands of words of policy theory - even Wang Anshi's reform was mostly planned by him.Such a person, young and vigorous, how can he be easily convinced?
"No one in the world can do it better. How dare you say 'not so much'! Your second uncle has never praised others in his life, but he only praised Shi Yue, so you dare to say 'not so much'? Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, Sun Jue, Cheng Hao, and Su Shi were full of praise, how dare you say 'not enough'?" Wang Anshi glared at Wang Yu and angrily reprimanded, "Go and copy "The Analects of Confucius" three times, and see if you dare to speak nonsense. gibberish!"
Wang Yu had never seen Wang Anshi lose such a big temper with him, and he stopped talking immediately, and just waited quietly with his hands down.
Lu Huiqing, who had been silent all this time, knew that Wang Anshi's temper was not just for Wang Yu.Since the implementation of the new law, it can be said that everything is difficult to be satisfactory.There are turbulent waves of opposition from the ruling and opposition parties.At first, those who opposed were stubborn old men like Lu Hui. After Zihe was implemented, the gentle brothers such as Su Shi and Su Zhe, as well as Cheng Hao who originally supported the new law, all began to oppose it, and gradually it developed to the Three Dynasties like Han Qi. The elders also wrote a letter to criticize the Green Crop Law—the emperor summoned Wang Anshi to question why urban residents were forced to subscribe for the green crop money that was originally distributed in the countryside. For a while, the elders and ministers supported Han Qi one after another, and Wang Anshi, known as the "Yuan Xianggong", said that he would not be sick and forced the emperor to make a choice.The emperor asked Sima Guang to write an imperial edict urging Wang Anshi to return to his post. Sima Guang, who had been friends with Wang Anshi for decades, wrote Yang Qiu in the imperial edict, accusing Wang Anshi of causing "boiling scholars and commotion among the people". As a result, Wang Anshi became even more angry. Anti-chapter self-defense.The emperor had no choice but to write an edict to explain it himself—this was the edict that Lu Huiqing personally read out.After so many twists and turns, Wang Anshi returned to court.
As one of Wang Anshi's most trusted people, Lu Huiqing naturally knew how much Sima Guang's non-cooperation had hit Wang Anshi. The emperor wanted to reuse Sima Guang as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Ask the emperor to strike down the system, the young crops law, and so on.Wang Anshi argued with him several times in letters, but they couldn't agree on each other.Therefore, Wang Anshi was only in power for about a year, not only did he not get the support of a famous minister, but he also attracted unanimous opposition from all the gentlemen.Only Lu Huiqing knew how much Wang Anshi longed for the support of others!
The concern expressed by the emperor in the Chongzheng Hall once again came to Lu Huiqing's mind. "Wang Anshi also wants to recruit these young people, especially that Shi Yue!" A thought flashed through his mind quickly, Lu Huiqing coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. At that time, the capital was vying to buy it, and the scholars praised it. At one time, Luoyang paper was expensive, and even the emperor praised it very much. As a student, he heard the emperor ask about "The Analects of Confucius" several times. Based on the students' humble opinion , if there are such talents, if they can support the new law, wouldn't it be a big help for the gentleman?"
As soon as Lu Huiqing finished speaking, Wang Yu snorted coldly.He knew that Wang Yu had always disliked him, and he didn't mind, so he just smiled and noticed Wang Anshi's reaction.
Wang Anshi glared at Wang Yu, and pondered: "Jifu is right. I want to tell the Emperor Ming first, and the court ordered the implementation of punctuation marks, which can at least make the official documents more clear. Who can go for me, go and have a look This Shi Ziming?" While talking, he cast his eyes on Wang Yu, but Wang Yu turned his head to the side as if angry.Zeng Bu stood up quickly and said with a smile, "I really want to get to know this Shi Jiubian, so let me go."
Wang Anshi sighed heavily in his heart, knowing a son is like a father, Wang Yu is extremely smart, but his heart is too small.Wang Anshi forced a smile towards Zeng Bu, and said: "It's so good to have Lao Zixuan. In my opinion, although the book "The Analects of Confucius and Justice" must be called the ancient sages of the three generations, it is the fact that the law is enacted in the name of the ancient kings. In this way Talented people should strive for it.”
