Chapter 22 Section ten
The next day, when Wang Anshi went to see the emperor, he quietly put a memorial in his sleeve, and he was going to recommend Shi Yue to take the exam.Wang Anshi's thought expressed from "The Analects of Confucius", Zeng Bu and Wang Anli's evaluation of Shi Yue, and the analysis of Tang Di and others' provincial examination and palace examination policy theory, believed that Shi Yue supported the reform.Although Zeng Bu said that Shi Yue had been noncommittal about the new law, Wang Anshi believed in his own judgment.
Zhao Xu seemed to be in a good mood.As soon as Wang Anshi came, he handed him a few memorials, but they all recommended Shi Yue to try the Maocai course, and asked the imperial court to open a special course.Wang Anshi couldn't help feeling a little displeased. These memorials were written by Chen Xiang, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, and Su Shi.Zhao Xu said excitedly: "This Shi Yue is only in his twenties, and he has such talent and learning. It is really rare. Su Shi said that he has a pitiful background, but his knowledge and tolerance are beyond the reach of others. Since Shi Yue cannot take the imperial examination according to the rule ( Shi Yue’s background is unknown and he cannot take the imperial examination), so let’s open a special course for him. What do you think?”
In Wang Anshi's heart, there was a kind of unhappiness in being picked up first, but since he wanted to recommend it, there was no need to deliberately oppose it; it was just that his proud personality made him ashamed to be behind others, so he said lightly: "I have no Objection." Naturally, there is no need to mention the copy in the sleeve.
At this time, the monarch and his ministers had more important matters to discuss. The open and secret struggle between the new party and the old party in the imperial examination in March was not accidental, nor was it an isolated incident, but a faithful reflection of the reality of Bianjing government.Since the implementation of the new law, Wang Anshi's former friends and supporters have come to oppose him one by one. Sun Jue and a large number of Taiwanese admonishing officials have repeatedly written letters to criticize the faults of the new law. Among them, those who spoke fiercely dismissed the new law as useless and committed heinous crimes. The Department of Regulations also hated it deeply.It's just that the officials in Taiwan criticized the prime minister. Even if they were impeached face to face, the prime minister could only apologize. This is the tradition of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, Wang Anshi had no choice but to hand it over to the emperor.
Last year, Wang Anshi used the technique of "conquering and punishing" to demote a group of officials who dared to stand up to the horse from the court. Unexpectedly, there will be waves of Fangping, and waves will rise again. It seems that if Yushitai is not completely controlled After all, it is impossible, but the right to appoint the censor is in the hands of the emperor... Thinking of these troublesome things, Wang Anshi has no time to think about Shi Yue.
