It’s different from Wen Yanbo.

Han Jiang heard some hidden meanings.

He remembered very clearly that the two lines of poetry quoted by the young master were at the end.

King Cheng said this: As for the emperor, he will never forget the following sequence!

I dare not forget the great deeds of the late king. In front of his soul, I swear that I will inherit and carry forward them!

King Cheng vowed to inherit and carry forward King Wu's career.

Where is the young master?

Will he also inherit and carry forward the unfinished business of the Daxing Emperor?

The most important thing is that Han Jiang just looked carefully, and the young master looked at the two palaces behind the curtain before speaking.

So, this is what the two palaces taught the young master?

Do you want the young master to inherit the career of the Daxing Emperor and carry it forward?

Think of all the legends I heard along the way.

Especially in the past few days, Li Ding'an, the young master and the two palaces made angry remarks in the Zichen Palace.

With this thought in mind, Han Jiang carefully considered his words and then said, "I believe that the emperor's achievements are great and admired by the world. In the 19 years since he came to the dynasty, he has benefited the world, coordinated etiquette, and upheld the law. With Xiang. To create scholars by preface, select people by the classics, and judge officials by legal principles..."

"Now His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne for the first time, the Empress Dowager has heard about the great government for the first time, and the Empress Dowager has assisted the army and the country for the first time. Instead of treating the old ministers as pedantic and declining in virtue, he inquires about the affairs of the army and the country. The old ministers will die in ignorance..."

So, he talked about all the things he experienced during the ten years he was away.

I heard the two palaces nodding from time to time.

Zhao Xu was also very satisfied when he heard it.

Because this is the first-hand intuitive information brought back from the local area by a senior minister who has served as prime minister in Dengzhou, Xuzhou, Heyang, Daming Prefecture, and Henan Prefecture in the past ten years.

It is also because of Han Jiang's ability to do things that the government and the public have recognized him. In addition to not being able to lead troops in war, Han Jiang's ability in civil affairs is considered to be comparable to that of Fu Bi and Han Gong.

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, there was heavy rain in Henan and the Yellow River burst its banks.

It was Han Jiang who commanded the military and civilians to build new embankments and opened warehouses for disaster relief to help the victims tide over the crisis.

Only a few months after the new embankment was built, the flood came again. The embankment built by Han Jiang withstood the test of the flood and remained safe.

As a result, Han Jiang was supported by the people of Henan Prefecture.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, when Yuan Youchu and Han Jiang were in charge of the Daming Mansion, it was he who personally inspected the local river embankments and resolutely rejected the blind command of the Du Water Supervisor and adopted the correct method to lead the local military and civilians. , withstood the violent invasion of the flood that year.

Therefore, although Zhao Xu knew clearly that Han Jiang must have stuffed his own personal belongings into these matters, and he must have had his political intentions.

But he was still full of admiration - in this world, are there any ministers who don't have their own political intentions and private goods?

It would be nice to have someone who is willing to do things and can do them well. You should be content.

But Wen Yanbo, who was listening on the sidelines, felt something was wrong the more he listened.

Because of what Han Jiang said, although he pointed out many problems and shortcomings of the new law in practice.

But he also said a lot of good things about the new law.

In particular, the Law of Exemption from Service and the Law of Exemption from Exercise were praised by Han Jiang as "eternal virtues". They only need to be "slightly modified to remove their harmful effects" and can be "used for hundreds of generations and become a law."

Wen Yanbo's temples were heard beating.

However, Wen Yanbo himself has been an official for many years.

I want to refute, but I can't come up with appropriate arguments or specific cases.

Besides, Han Jiang is talking now, and it would be rude for him to interrupt rashly.

Therefore, he could only listen and think about the loopholes Han Jiang said in his heart.

After Han Jiang had been talking for nearly two quarters of an hour, he finally finished his speech, held his hand and bowed, saying: "Therefore, in my humble opinion, the current state of affairs lies in the fact that politicians are too hasty and in administering policies." Those who dare to advance..."

"Emperor Daxing, the wise and wise Shenwu, had known about this shortcoming before, so he could teach the young master with virtuous words..."

"Now that His Majesty the Emperor has just ascended the throne, he stopped the market to change the law and went to the Embankment Department to make a living and share benefits with the people. This is truly a blessing to the world!"

"The old minister is stupid and thinks that the current political affairs should be based on the orders of the Emperor Daxing, using experienced people who are planning for the country to get rid of those who are impetuous and rash, and the strategy of slowing down and rushing forward..."

"The poem goes: It's as easy as cutting, studying, polishing..."

"Not only do gentlemen, knowledge should be studied and exchanged, so that it can last for a long time, the same goes for state affairs!"

After Han Jiang finished speaking, he stood respectfully holding the potion in his hand.

There was no response from the two palaces behind the curtain for a long time.

They are all digesting the shock of what Han Jiang just said!

Han Jiang's advice was the first time the two palaces had heard it in the past ten years.

In the past, people around them told them that the new law was useless and would harm the people.

Han Jiang was the first to say that the new law also has some merits.

Especially the exemption law and the exemption law.

But it was difficult for both palaces to accept this novel perspective for a while.

reason? Very simple!

Empress Dowager Xiang was forced to leave Zhiqing Prefecture because of her father, Xiang Jing, who was impeached by officials because of the implementation of the exemption law of the Municipal Change Law and died in other places.

This makes it impossible for her to have any favorable impression of the exemption method.

However, what Han Jiang said made some sense.

Especially now that the identity of the Queen Mother has changed.

She is no longer the Empress Xiang without a son.

Now, her son is the master of this world.

Therefore, when one's identity changes, one's perspective on the problem also changes.

In the past, those who were exempted from practicing the Dharma were completely evil in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

Don't let others say good things about exempting yourself from practicing the Dharma in front of her, she might get angry even if you mention it.

The Empress Dowager was not very happy mainly because of what Han Jiang said about the exemption law.

The Elimination of Service Law, as the name suggests, exempts people from past corvee service and replaces it with the payment of taxes.

But the problem is that the military method of the Song Dynasty is different.

In the past Jiayou era, only those with the most wealth in the county, that is, the fifth-class households, were required to serve in the military service - of course, official households were not included.

Other than that, others do not need to serve.

After the exemption law was implemented, everyone, including officials, monks, and single women who were not required to serve in the past, had to pay.

Many relatives and ministers, especially relatives of the Gao family, have come to complain to the Queen Mother - it is not that the Gao family lacks some free money.

The problem is, it’s so embarrassing!

The dignified relatives actually have to pay the same taxes as Cuoda!

Has there been such a thing for thousands of years?

The same is true for the exemption method.

However, what Han Jiang said, especially the way Han Jiang said it, made the Queen Mother hesitate.

Because Han Jiang used the tone and method of speaking and doing things that she liked and was most familiar with from the ministers of the Jiayou era.

Don't rush, take your time.

Let's get things straight first.

When do you think it will be clear?

Investigation, implementation, and discussion will probably take a year and a half no matter what.

So, after a moment of silence, she finally spoke.

"I and the Queen Mother will carefully consider what Mr. Han said..."

"I also ask your husband to write down everything he said and submit it to the palace..."

Han Jiang held the potion and bowed again: "Wei!"

At this time, Wen Yanbo stood up.

"The Empress Dowager..." Even though this veteran was almost eighty years old, his voice was still very loud: "The veteran thought that what Han Jiang said was actually harboring evil intentions..."

As a veteran specially selected by the Daxing Emperor during the Xining Reform Period, he was placed in the court to check and balance Wang Anshi.

Even though Wen Yanbo has been in office for a long time.

But his understanding and understanding of the new law are something that all the old parties do not have.

Almost every new law is introduced, Wen Yanbo will inevitably sing the opposite tune and strongly oppose it.

In the court, interacting with Wang Anshi, naturally he also knew the origin of those laws.

For example, the Qingmiao method was promoted by Li Shen on Shaanxi Road.

When Wang Anshi implemented it, Li Shen had already died.

The Art of War is completely plagiarized from Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Kang's experiment in Shaanxi.

The market exchange method was invented by Lu Jiawen.

As for the exemption law and the exemption law...

Wen Yanbo looked at Han Jiang, his old eyes filled with scrutiny.

"Old minister, I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor..."

"The so-called exemption law was initiated by the person who is in the palace now..."

Shocking!

When the two palaces behind the curtain heard this, their eyes changed.

He looked at Han Jiang with scrutiny.

Okay...

You actually initiated it!

No wonder you want to say good things!

Wen Yanbo continued: "If the old minister remembers it correctly, it was during the Zhihe period of Renmiao that Han Jiang and Cai Xiang began to reform the military service law with the Five Laws of Rural Households. Since then, the good governance of the country has not existed, and the disaster has been left to this day! "

At this moment, Wen Yanbo completely forgot how he praised Han Jiang and Cai Xiang's initiative.

I even forgot that he had personally praised Han Jiang's method in front of Renmiao for "equalizing both pain and pleasure".

Because Wen Yanbo knows it very well.

You can't reason or argue in court.

Anyway, the two palaces don't know anything about the Yaqian service, let alone the changes in the world's fiscal and taxation systems since the mid-Tang Dynasty, and they don't understand the history of changes in the service law since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

The young master is small and young.

So, as long as he puts the hat on, what else can Han Jiang do?

Since it was hard to argue, he had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat - in order not to ruin his reputation, he took the initiative to avoid his position.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo continued to work hard and said: "In the fourth year of Zhiping, before Wang Anshi entered the capital, it was Han Jiang and Han Zihua who first proposed the aid money in front of the king!"

"Therefore, after Wang Anshi entered Beijing, in order to repay Han Jiang for his recommendation, he also proposed changing the military service law!"

Wen Yanbo looked at Han Jiang fiercely while playing.

He knew Han Jiang's weakness - not good at debating.

Moreover, Wen Yanbo also knew that as long as he forced Han Jiang to argue with him, even if Han Jiang won, he would definitely lose!

Because in a debate before your Majesty, the winner or loser is never who is right, but who speaks something that suits your Majesty's wishes.

Didn’t you see just now that the two palaces were silent for so long after Han Jiang’s performance?

This shows that what Han Jiang said is definitely not in line with the wishes of the two palaces.

so……

Wen Yanbo became proud.

"Han Zihua, you shouldn't have entered Beijing!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to go back to Luoyang with me to drink and have fun together?!"

This chapter was written a little slower.

Well, I definitely won’t be perfunctory with everyone.
