In September of the third year of Xining, Xixia invaded the border on a large scale.
Wang Anshi reorganized the government vigorously and vigorously. First of all, Sima Guang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Fan Zhen, two of whom opposed it, went out one after another.
Sima Guang came to know the Yongxing army as a bachelor of Duanming Palace.
As for Fan Zhen, he directly became an official as the Minister of Household Affairs.
Due to the impeachment of Su Shi by the censor Xie Jingwen, the officials ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and Su Shi stayed at home.
Later, the Su Jia case in Taixue occurred again.
Yan Fu and other five imperial eunuchs were dismissed, Su Jia and his brothers were dismissed from their studies, and Zhang Yue was stripped of his three official positions for being lax in his duties. , but retained the assignment of Zhi Zhi Gao and Tianzhang Pavilion Minister.
Wang Anshi changed his order to Changzhi to take charge of Gou Guozijian.
Zhang Yueshangshu also asked to be dismissed.
That's right, Zhang Yue was not asked to leave, but dismissed!
After hearing the news about Zhang Yue's dismissal and the fact that all five Zhidao students had quit, nearly a thousand Taipei students went on strike. As for Zhidao Su Zhe, who was not involved in the Su Jia case, he took the initiative to Please agree with Zhang Yue.
After Wang Anguo learned that Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, and Zhang Yue had been dismissed, he angrily went to his brother Wang Anshi and argued: "Sima Xueshi, Fan Xueshi, and Zhang Sheren are all famous in the world for their writings, talents, and morals. They are all the best in the world, but now they have to stop because of my brother's words, is that okay?"
Hearing what Wang Anguo said, Wang Anshi was unmoved and said: "There is no such thing as optional, only do-not-do."
Wang Anguo cried when he heard this and said: "Although I agree with my brother presiding over the new law, the public opinion is now fierce. If we demote these three people now, the whole world will blame my brother. I am afraid that my Wang family will suffer from family trouble because of my brother." "
Wang Anshi said: "What's the harm? You might as well learn from Han Wei, Lu Jia asked the two of them, you and Anli can advocate differences with me, or even openly oppose me. If the reform fails, my Wang family will not be implicated."
Having said this, Wang Anshi walked around: "In the final analysis, this reform is only a matter of Wang Anshi. If a disaster is going to happen, it will only affect me, Wang Anshi. You and Anli can stay out of it!"
"Brother!" Wang Anguo burst into tears.
"If disaster strikes, add another child!" Outside the door, Wang Yu strode in, followed by Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu.
Wang Yu said to the loud voice: "The reform has made no progress so far. Let alone Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, and Zhang Yue, so what if there are thirty or three hundred people? Just let them go all together."
Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu both said: "We all follow our husband!"
After Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu finished speaking, Wang Anguo pointed at them and cursed: "It's because you two misunderstood that you participated in the coup and changed the decree, and that's why we are here today!"
Lu Huiqing sneered, and Zeng Bu retorted: "You are a son of a man, and the imperial court is reforming. What are you doing?"
Wang Anguo said: "Joining politics is my brother. The father of joining politics is my father. It is because of you and two of you that joining politics killed your family, humiliated your ancestors, and dug graves. How can you not do my job?" "
Wang Anguo said to Wang Anshi: "Since my brother came to power, if anyone like Deng Wan has served you, he will flatter you all the time, and my brother will think you are virtuous. These people will not go out day and night, or come here every day, and my brother will be in the toilet again." He also came out to see him. But just like his old friend Sima Junshi, Zhang Duzhi, a person with moral expectations, gradually moved away from him!"
Wang Anguo raised Sima Guang and Zhang Yue, and said that they stayed out day and night, and came to scold Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, etc. who came to the door every day.
Wang Anshi said: "I have made a firm decision regarding the reform and will never turn back. I don't need to say more."
Wang Anguo cried and said: "I am not against my brother's reform, I am just looking forward to my own misfortune."
Seeing that Wang Anshi didn't say a word, Wang Anguo went to the movie theater at home and burst into tears.
Wang Anguo's cry was heard, Wang Anshi glanced at it, and Wang Yu said: "I'll go out and persuade him!"
Wang Anshi nodded.
After Wang Yu went out, Wang Anshi asked Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing: "Are the students still making trouble?"
The two nodded, and Lu Huiqing said: "Not only the imperial students, but there are also many discussions in the capital that are not good for us."
Wang Anshi said: "Let the Kaifeng Mansion patrol and punish those who slander and discuss current affairs. Let Chang Zhi immediately stabilize the Imperial College, and the Imperial College students will inevitably resume classes."
"yes."
Wang Anshixun asked again: "How are Zhang Duzhi these days?"
Zeng Sermon said: "I have been in the mansion. After hearing about his resignation, Han Wei Gong and Ouyang Yongshu both sent people to the capital with letters to express condolences. Sima Junshi and Fan Jingren also sent people. As for Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers, and Officials from Taixue Zhongzhi and the DPRK and China who opposed the new law came to express their condolences."
Wang Anshi frowned when he heard this, and then he said: "However, Zhang Duzhi claimed that he was ill and stayed at home and didn't see anyone."
"Oh, you haven't seen anyone?"
"Indeed, I didn't see anyone."
After Su Song returned his title due to his seal, his home was filled with guests. All the officials who opposed the reform gathered at his home to listen to him discuss the bad qualities of the new law.
But Zhang Yue was different. After being stripped of his three official positions, he stayed at home alone, saw no one, and didn't even complain.
When Wang Anshi heard this, he looked relaxed and then said: "You two are also friends with Zhang Yue, so you might as well come to see him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't see him. You can write to him on my behalf. He did make some mistakes in the affairs of the Imperial Academy." It was a fault, but that was it, there was no greater fault.”
"I will definitely refuse to resign if he wants to, and the officials will not agree to it either. You can tell him that he can go out. With the experience of becoming a local official, a few years later... as long as I am still in court then. , I will still reuse him!"
At this point, Wang Anshi had no confidence in whether he would still be in power at that time.
Lu Huiqing was a little dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's high regard for Zhang Yue, and asked: "There are so many officials in the world, why should Zhang Du be one person?"
Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing: "The most rare thing for a minister is talent, virtue and respect. It seems that you two are also talented as prime ministers and assistants, but they seem a bit inferior to Zhang Duzhi."
…
The first snowfall comes very early after winter in Bianjing.
Zhang Yue Linxuan faced the snowy scene of early winter and practiced calligraphy on the desk, while Seventeenth Mother held the stove and looked at it with a smile.
Sometimes the couple would copy an article by Li Taibai. You write a word and I write a word, or I write a line and you write a line.
Qi Niang is also good at calligraphy and is even better at painting.
Sometimes when she saw Xia Yuqiu Shuang, Qi Niang would start painting, and Zhang Yue would improvise small poems beside her.
Zhang Yue claimed to be ill at home during this period, and the couple lived a very comfortable life.
However, Zhang Yue's poems and calligraphy handwriting were kept by Qi Niang and not leaked to outsiders. Zhang Yue was puzzled at first, but he praised her for being smart and prudent. During this period of time when I was demoted from an official position, if the words and poems I wrote fell into the hands of others, it would be easy for people with ulterior motives to use them to make articles.
Zhang Yue was also careful not to go out. There are some things that it would be good if he knew, such as knowing whether someone is drinking water or not. He should not be nagging people like a resentful woman.
Therefore, those who serve as officials must have a strong heart.
