Faced with Wang Anshi's disrespectful remarks, Zhang Yue thought to himself that he was not here to quarrel. Anyway, I have already won the imperial examination and became the top two Jinshi scholars. If you think my articles can't reach your eyes, then they won't.
However, seeing Wang Anshi's expression of "I am the best in the world and all of you are scum," Zhang Yue couldn't help but said: "Wang Sheren said that I don't know, so how dare you ask me if you know?"
Wang Anshi said: "I don't dare to say that I have a deep understanding of it. After all, I once served in a local government and know a little bit about it."
Zhang Yue said: "I have read Wang Sheren's Ten Thousand Words Book. Therefore, if people in ancient times wanted to achieve something, they would first conquer and punish them and then get their ideas. If you really want to govern the world, you should cultivate talents. In the past, when King Xuan of the Zhou Dynasty used Zhongshan Fu, the Zhou Dynasty was able to prosper, instead of just conquering and killing him."
Wang Andao said: "To put it into perspective, this method of conquering and punishing cadres by force is not considered a good way."
Wang Yu looked at each other.
Wang Pang said: "Why does Zhuangyuan Gong's preface and follower not match up? He said that we must work hard, but he also said that working hard is the last way."
Wang Yu said to Wang Pang: "This is an ignorant talk, but it is what my father Shangguan's family said in the Wanyan Book. You should choose people first. He is using your spear to attack your shield. His clever words and tricks are really good* *sly."
Zhang Yue said: "The way to govern the world should be upright and upright, and can be announced to the people. As for the art of kingship, it can be used to govern the world, and it can also be discussed sideways, but it cannot be announced in the court."
Wang Anshi nodded slightly.
Zhang Yue said: "The method of strengthening cadres in this dynasty is to punish the warlords in the vassal towns at the end of Han Dynasty and the end of Tang Dynasty, so as to reduce their power."
"This dynasty followed the Tang Dynasty system, but it was even more restrained. It was like stacking a bed frame and a house, and the powers were repeated. Among them, there were three parts, upper and lower, inside and outside, light and heavy. The two phases were divided into phase dimension, phase control..., in other words, up and down phase dimension. , the inside and outside are in harmony, the inside is important and the outside is light... As for officials, if they have a high position, they will not be used, and if they are used, their position will be light..."
"But the top, bottom, and inside maintain mutual control, and only the power of the prime minister can be maintained but cannot be controlled. The power of the prime minister in this dynasty is divided into three parts: Zhongshu is in charge of the people, the privy council is in charge of the military, and the three departments are in charge of wealth. There are even multiple divisions. They are not subordinate to each other and each does his or her own thing. The momentum is like several cars running side by side, following the same track..."
Wang Anshi listened to Zhang Yue's talk and nodded again.
At the end of the sentence, Zhang Yue said: "Of course Wang Sheren has high opinions, and the article below is indeed not suitable for the eyes of ordinary people, but there is a saying from the bottom of my heart that the method of force may work for a while, but it will not work for a lifetime. Wang Sheren must remember to think twice. "
When Wang Anshi heard this, he knew that he had indeed underestimated the young man in front of him, but he would never admit it.
Wang Anshi said: "My words really have no other meaning, they are just honest words. Although what you said is reasonable, what you still lack is the experience of going to the local government. I just don't know why you want to stay in the capital. "
"After the government is eliminated, the officials will have other arrangements. If you don't go to the local area to serve as a general judge, do you really want to study in the capital?"
Zhang Yue knew what Wang Anshi was referring to.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs was dissatisfied with the Zhengshitang's repeated infringement of its personnel rights, so officials who were dismissed by the Zhengshitang would usually be offered more favorable terms.
If the official is willing to give up the dismissal and report it to the Ministry of Personnel for annotation, the Ministry of Personnel will allow your dispatch to promote other officials of the same rank as an encouragement.
In other words, as long as everyone has the same position, you can make your own arrangements.
The price offered by the Ministry of Personnel to Zhang Yue was that if Zhang Yue gave up his duties and refused to accept the appointment of Zhengshitang, he could be appointed as the general magistrate of any major prefecture in Henan, Huaidong, and Liangzhe Road, even if he was the governor of Jiedushi Prefecture. No problem.
Zhang Yue said: "Thank you Wang Sheren for your concern. Zhang doesn't want to go anywhere."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "Looking at the policy theory as a whole, it is indeed written to the extreme, but not necessarily. The words you said before to benefit the people are indeed unique, but I don't agree."
"Can you please give me some advice from Wang Sheren?"
Wang Anshi sighed: "To tell you the truth, when I first governed Yin County, I also had the idea of benefiting the people. But after I got there, I found it to be crude."
"What am I telling your people? These words of plea for life for the people may sound impassioned, but these are all what the book tells you. The people in the book are empty."
"What is real? When you go to a place, you see people who steal for a penny and dare to kill for a hundred penny. You say these are unscrupulous people. But what about ordinary people? In fact, it is difficult to call them honest. "
"I want to build water conservancy projects to benefit the people and build schools to educate the people, but those under my administration think that I am too busy and waste money and food. The people will always only see an inch of their lives, and they will only seek superficial benefits. If there is a famine, I will take over the treasury. If I share the grain in the land with them, they will say that I am the blue sky; but if I lend them seeds to cultivate, they will say that I am exploiting the oppressive people."
"The sage said, 'The people can follow it, but cannot make it known', which can be said to be a foresight. What you said about the Zhou rites protecting the six political affairs and the Guanzi Jiuhui teaching will give rise to many lazy people. You Chenran have the heart to help the people. Although the heart is kind, it is not in harmony with the world and the world, which is really the absurd scholar's view."
Zhang Yue suddenly thought of a question and said: "The Six Policies of Guaranteeing Interest and the Teaching of Nine Benefits are the words of my letter. What do Wang Sheren think?"
Of course Wang Anshi would not say it was Wang Anguo, but Wang Anli secretly gave it to himself.
Wang Anshi ignored Zhang Yue's question and said: "I would like to ask you to think twice about what I said. First go to the local government and serve as an official for one term. The so-called prime minister starts from the state ministry. If you do not govern for one term at the local level, it is just a scholar's talk."
Zhang Yue said: "Thank you Wang Sheren for your words. But I still don't want to go there."
"Why?"
Zhang Yue said: "I am about to get married, and I don't want to stay away from the capital to serve in a local area."
When Wang Anshi heard this, his expression changed on the spot and he said: "How can the happiness of the boudoir be placed on national affairs?"
Zhang Yue said: "The people of Wang She, cultivate one's moral character, manage one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. How can a scholar manage a country and bring peace to the world if he does not first cultivate one's moral character and bring order to his family?"
"Besides, there are more people who enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir than the thrush. How can Wang Sheren know my pleasure?"
You, Wang Anshi, don't even accept a concubine. I really have nothing in common with a womanizer like you.
Others would have been furious at these words, but Wang Anshi did not grasp the meaning of Zhang Yue's words.
However, there was a noise behind the screen, as if something had been knocked over.
People behind the screen eavesdropped.
Wang Anshi disapproved and said to Zhang Yue: "The dog likes to eavesdrop on my discussion with others and make him laugh."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, not knowing whether it was Wang Yu or Wang Pang.
Wang Anshi was not surprised that he eavesdropped on his father's conversation with the guests from behind the screen. This shows that Wang Anshi's tutoring was really lax.
In this era, the relationship between father and son is mostly like that between Han Qi and Han Zhongyan. Han Zhongyan was unscrupulous outside, but he suddenly became embarrassed in front of Han Qi.
But Wang Anshi didn't seem to discipline Wang Yu very much, and everything was left to him.
Of course Wang Anshi dotes on this son and even has high expectations for him. Historically, Wang Yu called his father "Guang Yu Zhongni", and Wang Anshi also called Wang Yu Confucius.
Someone once said, "How strange it is for a father and his son to be holy to each other."
One time Wang Anshi was chatting with Cheng Hao. Wang Yu came out wearing women's clothes and asked his father, "What are you talking about?"
Wang Anshi said that the implementation of the new law was not going smoothly. Let’s talk about this.
Wang Yu said, "What's the problem?" He chopped off the heads of Fu Bi and Han Qi, and the new law was implemented.
Cheng Hao changed his expression and said, "You dare to say such nonsense. I discuss national affairs with your father, and you don't want to listen to this."
From this we can see how Wang Anshi disciplined him.
Zhang Yue stood up and said, "In that case, I won't bother you. I'll take my leave."
Wang Anshi said calmly: "Chong Qing found a good son-in-law. But it's a pity..."
