A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Wang Ding'er stood outside, raising his head slightly and talking.

"Feng Shi said that if the official family continues like this, the second emperor of Sui Yang is just around the corner. I heard that Emperor Sui Yang was extravagant and once piled incense into a mountain. After lighting it, the whole city was fragrant. Regardless of whether this is true or not, he said Was it really wrong for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to build Luoyang, the eastern capital?"

Wang Shuo said loudly in the room: "This is to control the east side of Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Guangda was not wrong in repairing Luoyang, but his fault was that he was too generous. Later, the Li family often took large groups of people to Luoyang to eat. Why did no one talk at that time?

Because Guanzhong's population is expanding and over-exploited, there is not enough food to eat. Once some famine occurs, people in Chang'an City will starve to death. That's why jokes like eating the emperor appeared.

But without the canals and projects built by the previous Sui Dynasties, the Li family did not know how many people would have starved to death in Guanzhong, let alone Luoyang.

"Did Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty make a mistake in building the canal?"

Wang Ding'er said calmly: "To this day, the Song Dynasty still relies on canals to connect the north and the south."

"Ignoring whether Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was fatuous or not, I would like to ask Shi Feng, who should listen to the emperor's words and deeds?"

Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

"Some people think that the emperor's words and deeds should be obeyed by his ministers. Then the emperor seems to be noble, but in fact he is controlled by his ministers..."

"Ding'er!"

Wang Xu rushed out sweating profusely.

Wang Ding'er said happily, "Dad, my daughter has realized her mistake."

Feng Zhang inside seemed to be basking in the sun at the moment, and the sweat never stopped.

He suddenly held up his hands and said with a forced smile: "Xiaguan...Xiaguan..."

Wang Shuo snorted coldly, "I'm tired."

Someone immediately laughed and said, "Please, please."

Several ministers looked at each other and then left.

After coming out, they saw Wang Xu and his daughter standing on the edge, and everyone looked at Wang Ding'er.

The girl stood there, looking tall and straight, lowering her head slightly, but still had an unyielding aura.

Wang Xu took a step forward, stood in front of his daughter, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all."

This was etiquette, but the eyes he looked at Feng Zhang were full of hatred.

Feng Zhang's words made his father so angry that he vomited blood. From then on, the two families naturally became mortal enemies.

Let's fight to the death!

He originally thought about impeaching Feng Zhang, even if there was no chance of winning.

This is a spirit.

But the daughter's sudden words caused a wonderful change in the matter.

Look at Feng Zhang, this guy is shaking when he walks, and he must be panicking in his heart.

After they left, Wang Xu turned around and looked at his daughter.

"Let Ding'er come in."

Before the father and daughter could communicate, Wang Shuo shouted loudly, sounding very energetic.

This is good news!

The children and grandchildren were all delighted.

But only Wang Ding'er could enter among the grandchildren.

Wang Shuo had already sat up and had just drank a cup of hot tea.

He looked at his granddaughter and suddenly laughed, "I'm old."

"Daddy..."

The sons wanted to persuade, but Wang Shuo waved his hand, "Feng Zhang wants to join the admonishment official's house. The reason is absurd, but it can win a lot of praise. Do you know why?"

Wang Xu thought for a while, "Officials and gentry all over the world want to restrict the emperor."

The so-called rule of the world with the scholar-bureaucrats is not a lie. If the emperor refuses, we will take back our rights.

This is the current political situation in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu went to Daming Mansion, but many people tried to persuade him to no avail.

Letting Zhao Hao go to Mangshan Academy is an eyesore for opponents of the New Deal.

There are many more…

This official is not our caring person!

This is the sentiment of many officials and gentry.

Therefore, officials must discipline and control such officials.

At this time, Feng Zhang came to remonstrate, and the timing was very clever. Zhao Shu would be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but it was difficult to deal with him, otherwise it would easily trigger a backlash.

In the former Tang Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic families was so great that those emperors were not allowed to have freedom.

For example, Emperor Taizong.

Why accept remonstrances like this... Once you become an emperor, no one will want to listen to you beeping all day long.

This is nothing more than gesture.

——I will listen to your words, and we will govern the Tang Dynasty with consensus, and your interests will be guaranteed.

So everyone is related.

By the time of this dynasty, the power of the aristocratic families had gradually withered over the long years, but a huge group had ushered in.

——Officials who passed the imperial examination and became official!

At least half of the reason for the imperial examination was to check and balance the powerful families.

Later, this method was successful, but it brought another drawback.

Many of these officials who passed the imperial examination and became official are not good birds. They will stick together, and their power is stronger than that of aristocratic families.

So the emperor of this dynasty could only hand it over in frustration: Let's play together, play together.

"Today's officials are different." Wang Shuo said: "If Feng Zhang comes to remonstrate, he will be fine, but he will be unlucky as a father."

This is the bane of a fish in a pond and the punishment for poor control.

"As a father, I just wanted to get rid of him. Who would have thought that this man actually had a bad intention."

When Wang Shuo mentioned intentionality, he was obviously mocking.

"My father thought about it a lot, but couldn't think of a solution, so he vomited blood."

Wang Shuo laughed at himself: "I am already very old, but my father's ambition for fame has become more and more serious. I worry about gains and losses, so much that my eyes are confused. It is not as clear as Ding'er's seeing."

"Weng Weng." Wang Ding'er took a step forward.

Wang Shuo looked at her, nodded and said: "Ding'er's words are just peeling off Feng Zhang's skin, revealing his true colors and intentions to the public. He is forcing the officials!"

He stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Although the imperial authority of this dynasty is not as powerful as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, does the emperor want the face? No matter what, you can't force the officials openly, right? In the past, no one dared to say such things, everyone pretended to be confused. "

"Dad, if this is the case, I'm afraid Ding'er's future marriage will be in trouble." Wang Xu Ladu said with deep affection and worry: "Ding'er's words have revealed the face of many people. I don't know how many people will hate him." she."

"you are wrong."

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Why did Ding'er say that?"

Wang Xu's eyes lit up, "Yes, it was Feng Zhang who bullied people so much that you couldn't handle it and ended up vomiting blood. Today he even came to visit in a pretense manner, but in fact this is a demonstration! It's tolerable, but it's intolerable. , as your granddaughter, Ding'er was filled with indignation and said these words, she was forced to do so!"

"You are quite smart."

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Feng Zhang felt that he was flawless and even the officials could not deal with him, but Ding'er took a wrong approach and forced him into a desperate situation. The prime ministers would take action, and the important ministers would hate him. He’s deep into his bones, do you know why?”

"Officials have always handled political affairs together with the prime ministers and ministers. It is rare for them to act arbitrarily, but this lacks the authority of the emperor. In the past, everyone just pretended to be stupid and lived a fooled life. But now it can't be done. When Ding'er's words spread, Some people outside will say that the prime ministers and assistants are forcing the officials. If the king is not a king, and the minister is not a subordinate, a great uproar is just around the corner."

"Do you know why officials and gentry are afraid of the emperor who keeps his word?"

These are all his children and grandchildren. Wang Shuo was in a good mood after his comeback today, so he mentioned this taboo topic.

Wang Xu and others shook their heads.

Wang Shuo sighed: "It's one thing to worry about the emperor being stupid, but the most important thing is that the emperor... he will stand on the side of the people. Do you understand?"

Seeing that his sons didn't understand, he said: "This country is the country of the emperor. After he keeps his word, he will at least worry about the collapse of the country. But what is the reason for the collapse of the country? What are the reasons for... in all dynasties?"

Wang Xu whispered: "Land annexation is the most deadly."

Wang Shuo asked in a low voice: "Who is the beneficiary of the land annexation?"

"Officials and gentry."

"Do you remember Emperor Renzong's New Deal?"

Wang Shuo smiled as proudly as a child, as if he was telling some important secret.

Wang Xu already understood everything, "Yes, Emperor Renzong's Qingli New Deal mostly reduced the benefits of officials and gentry, and they counterattacked frantically, which ultimately led to the failure of the New Deal."

"What would happen if Emperor Renzong kept his word?" Wang Shuo closed his eyes.

"Then..." Wang Xu sniffed, as if he smelled the smell of blood, "Then blood will flow into a river."

Zhao Zhen will use a long knife to chop off those greedy heads to show his determination and scare those with vested interests.

Wang Xu was in a great mood and even touched the top of his daughter's head.

Wang Xu never did this action again after Wang Ding'er turned ten.

At this moment, he was caressing his daughter's hair, and the long-lost tenderness between father and daughter made people feel warm in their hearts.

"So no official wants the emperor to keep his word. When the news gets out, the prime ministers and ministers will hate Feng Zhang to death. Just wait and see, Feng Zhang's good days will be over tomorrow at most."

Wang Shuo said happily: "Although I am happy to be a father, what I am even more happy about is that Ding'er can have such insight and find a new way with his words, forcing Feng Zhang into a corner. It's a pity that Ding'er is not a man, otherwise..."

He glanced at his sons with disgust, probably wanting to say that if Wang Ding'er was a boy, he would definitely try his best to cultivate her.

"Ding'er..."

Wang Shuo looked at his granddaughter and said kindly: "Don't worry about this. Weng Weng will give you a good life later. With your talents, you can naturally live a good life."

Wang Ding'er raised his head and remembered Shen An's previous words, "Weng Weng, I went to Yulin Alley earlier."

"Oh." The problem was solved, and Feng Zhang could still see his bad luck. Wang Shuo felt that he was mostly better, "Did you go to the Shen family? Shen Guoguo is also cute. You have time to hang out by yourself. There is no shortage of things at home. Just treat the guests.”

"Weng Weng, Duke Shen spoke to me earlier."

That Duke Shen is indeed very capable.

Wang Ding'er admired Shen An to the extreme, "He said six words to get a glimpse of the emperor's power."

Wang Shuo was startled, then covered his forehead and murmured: "The emperor's power... If the emperor loses his power, he is a virtual king. Under the virtual king are powerful ministers. Who wants to be a powerful minister? Han Qi doesn't dare. Today I say that the emperor should not say this, and tomorrow I say that the emperor should not sit in the north... What is the purpose of such a minister? How wonderful!"

He was originally an official, but now he understood everything with just these six words Shen An.

"This matter, Duke Shen, is very righteous and wise!"

Wang Shuo struggled to get out of bed. One of his sons tried to persuade him, but he slapped him away.

"Jungong Shen only said six words. His original intention was for you to tell Weng Weng, but you were able to understand the truth on your own. You are really a talent."

Wang Shuo touched his granddaughter's head and said, "You can definitely read my books from now on."

Wang Shuo has a large collection of books, including some precious ancient books. Normally, he never shows it to anyone, but today he actually gave his granddaughter this privilege, which made Wang Xu smile from ear to ear.

"Get ready. As a father, I will go to Shen's house."

"Daddy, your body?"

"My body is fine. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net" Wang Shuo said with a smile: "Then Duke Shen only said six words, even if he guessed the helplessness of being a father, vomiting blood was also helpless, hahahaha! In this way, I got him to help me. , I’m out of trouble now, if I don’t come to thank you, how can I have the face to meet people?”

He solemnly said: "The Wang family can do anything, but they cannot be ungrateful!"

"yes."

Wang Shuo smiled and stretched out his hand, "Come here Ding'er."

In this kind of big family, all resources are in Wang Shuo's hands, and it is common to compete for his grandfather's favor.

So when the grandchildren saw Wang Ding'er helping his grandfather out, they couldn't help but be envious.

This is worthy of my grandfather's attention!

It is instinct for children to compete for favor. When they learned that Wang Ding'er could borrow her grandfather's books at will, they immediately surrounded her and asked her to share them.

In the midst of this commotion, Wang Shuo arrived at Yulin Alley.

"Let's just say Wang is here to visit."

Wang Shuo solemnly handed over the famous assassin.

The Shen family has settled in Bianliang for several years, and everyone they interact with is acquaintances, so naturally they don't need any fame.

So when Zhuang Laoshi went in with his name card, he was still muttering in his heart.

"Mr. Lang, we have guests."

Shen An was teasing the edamame in his arms. After taking the famous thorn, he said calmly: "Is it him? Please come in and tell me that someone will be here soon."

He carried the edamame in and handed it to Yang Zhuoxue.

"Who's coming?"

Yang Zhuoxue's heart is now focused on Maodou, a little indifferent to worldly affairs. Shen An feels that if she works harder, she can become a Taoist nun in Zhongnan Mountain.

"He is Wang Ding'er's grandfather."

"oh."

Sure enough, Yang Zhuoxue looked so indifferent.

Guo Guo said nervously: "Brother, Ding'er's Weng Weng is so vicious. I didn't dare to be angry when I saw him last time."

Second update, there is more.
