Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 121: Don’t use Qianlong

"This guy is really good, and finally forced the officials to confess their identity." Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but smile as she looked at Zhang Fei's hurried back.

Actually, she was happy to see Zhang Fei know the identity of the emperor, because she, like her father, was straightforward, and it was very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.

Look at Xu Zun, whenever Wang Ye comes, he never shows up. …

"Ahhhh! Wang Ye, Wang Ye, isn't this just 'Xu'? Pretend to be my little fanboy to trick me. Fishing law enforcement is not so ruthless, always catching a person fishing is really deceiving. What did I tell him before? Should I say the right thing? After getting to Xu's house, Zhang Fei didn't rush back to his own home, but stayed in the alley, carefully recalling his conversation with Wang Ye. After thinking about it, although he didn't remember much of the conversation, after all Many of them were talking after drinking, but he thought that if he made the emperor unhappy, then the emperor would not come to him today, and from the conversation just now, it was obvious that the emperor valued him more. Therefore, he immediately adjusted his thinking , Don’t think about the past, but think about what will happen next moment. The emperor did not hesitate to reveal his identity and asked him about the reform. It can be seen that the next conversation is about what to discuss, and this time Zhang Fei has to answer After calming down, Zhang Fei began to sort out the whole matter. Although I have entered the game and have the support of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, I still have no clear direction. Where should I go? Follow Wang Anshi, the risk Extremely high. With the current political system, when the productivity has not been significantly improved, it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of not adding taxes to the people and using the country. If you follow Sima Guang, although the chances of victory are greater, but It is also difficult to do anything. Now that I think about it, the reason for this is the official. Without the support of the official, I can only play by ear and jump left and right. If I have the support of the official, then I can do the same Like Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, go up to sit in the dealership and play with them. Yes, being a 25-year-old boy, jumping left and right, if you are not careful, you may die without a burial place. If you want to play, you have to sit in the dealership yourself, even if you lose , I also blame myself for my lack of ability. If I am dragged down by them, I will really die. Zhang Fei was in the alley, meditating for a long time before pushing open the back door of his house.

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin." When he came to the hall, Zhang Fei bowed, with an embarrassing rather than polite smile on his face.

"Excuse me!" Seeing his expression, Zhao Xu couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile, and when Zhang Fei straightened up, he said, "I'm hiding my identity from you, but I don't want you to worry about these red tapes, so that you can get to know me intimately." Let’s meet each other.” At first he just wanted to meet Zhang San, but during the chat, he hit it off, and many of Zhang Fei’s ideas coincided with his own, and as an emperor, he didn’t have any friends around him, so Afterwards, he kept concealing his identity. Although he really wanted to get some answers from Zhang Fei, it was really two different things from concealing his identity.

Being close to you, is it too long for me to live? Zhang Fei nodded with an awkward smile, but then quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the humble people, how dare you be intimate with His Majesty." This is exactly what Zhao Xu doesn't want to see, but he also knows that this is inevitable Yes, sighed, and said: "Whatever you want." He stretched out his hand and said: "Sit."

"I...no, Xiaomin."

"Sit down!" Zhao Xu said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Fei then sat down properly. Zhao Xu said rather helplessly: "Actually, I really don't want to reveal my identity, but if you don't, I'm afraid you will kick me out." Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this little man is really wronged. Minfang just planned to go out by himself, but he didn't want to let..." Halfway through the words, he seemed to feel that the more he said, the more wrong he said.

Zhao Xu chuckled: "This is my fault, don't worry about it." Zhang Fei nodded or shook his head.

Zhao Xu also saw Zhang Fei's embarrassment, so he said sternly: "I have always hoped that you can become an official in the court and assist me in the reform, so I did not hesitate to ask Xu Sishi for help, but you always refused, and for the reform, I have doubts, which also makes me have doubts, and now that the reform is imminent, I must have an open and honest talk with you today." These words really came from the heart, and they were also the main purpose of his trip.

Although Wang Anshi had told him how to govern officials, he still felt that Zhang Fei was still not optimistic about the reform, because this fellow would shirk in every possible way and refused to become an official.

Although Zhang Fei is just a small pen, many of his opinions are deeply recognized by Zhao Xu, and judging from his attitude in the lawsuit, he obviously supports the reform, which also makes his attitude shock Zhao Xu. Xu was always a little uneasy.

At this moment, he must know the answer. Why are you just not optimistic about the reform, kid.

Otherwise, he will become uneasy about the reform. Zhang Fei was really flattered when he heard it, he really didn't know that the emperor valued him so much, he would care about his opinion on such a big matter.

But Zhao Xumeng was right. The reason why Zhang Fei was very cautious about becoming an official was because he was not optimistic about Wang Anshi's reform, but at the same time he did not approve of Sima Guang's policy of throttling. It made him very tangled.

Zhao Xu asked word by word: "What do you think about the reform?" Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the main problem of my court lies in the three redundancy, that is, redundant officials, redundant troops, and wasted money." , and the first two disasters are the main cause of the third disaster. Why didn’t the court directly prescribe the right medicine, reduce officials, officers and soldiers, and reduce salaries.” Zhao Xu sighed: “If it was that simple, the Qingli New Deal would not have failed!” Zhang Fei asked: "The imperial court can't even save money, but has to increase income, so the question is, who will the money eventually fall on?" Advanced financial management concepts are forced into an old system, which will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction.

Although Sima Guang's concept of financial management is in a mess, he understands politics very well, and his predictions are actually right and very accurate.

Tax increases will eventually fall on the heads of ordinary people. Whether it is ten years or twenty years, the result will not change.

Under this old system, the best way is for the court to reduce expenditures in exchange for tax cuts, so that the burden on the people can be reduced, the vitality of the people can be stimulated, and tax revenue can gradually increase.

Zhao Xudao: "Scholar Wang once said: 'He who enriches his family will capitalize the country, and he who enriches the country will capitalize the world. If you want to enrich the world, you must capitalize the world'. Do you think this is wrong?" Zhang Fei laughed Said: "Xiaomin thinks this is too true, but is it not the same thing as what Xiaomin said?" Zhao Xu said: "Why is it not the same thing?" Zhang Fei said: "Xiaomin is not asking right or wrong, but Can it be done? Today’s problem is redundant officials. The solution must be to streamline officials, but the court cannot do it. It can be seen that the problem is not at all how to think about what to do, but whether the court can do it. Therefore, the court The first problem to be solved..." Zhao Xu said: "The legal system." Regarding this point, Zhang Fei actually mentioned it to him.

"That's right!" Zhang Fei said: "If Your Majesty really wants to make the country rich and its army strong, the first thing is to build a sound legal system, and everyone is in accordance with the law. On this basis, if you carry out financial reforms, it will get twice the result with half the effort, and there will be no disadvantages. Otherwise In other words, as long as the court increases taxes, the people will suffer, and thus fall into a vicious circle. It is better to trust Sima University and save the court's expenses in exchange for tax cuts for the people, at least the people will really benefit."

"However, it is not easy to build a complete legal system, and it will not be completed overnight, but the current reform is imminent, and I cannot back down!" Zhao Xu is already sweating profusely, and now that the reform is imminent, It's too cruel for you to tell him this.

He can't go back. No matter what, he must promulgate his own policy this year. People are about to collapse.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I actually think this is an excellent opportunity." Zhao Xu said in surprise, "Excellent opportunity?" Zhang Fei nodded,

"Your Majesty does not need to change the previous plan, but you still fully support the reform of Wang Dashi. If it can be achieved, it is of course the best, but if it cannot be achieved, then we must let them die together." color,

"Jade... Jade and stone burn together?" Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his entire back was already soaked.

Zhang Fei nodded,

"If they don't die together, how can Your Majesty make me reborn from the ashes of the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Xu asked anxiously: "How to be reborn from the ashes?" Zhang Fei replied: "Don't use Qianlong."... .. At this point is the third watch.

Lanterns were hung in front of the palace gate early on.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, we have arrived!" Zhao Xu lifted the curtain of the car and found that he had arrived at the gate of the palace.

"It's such a good trick, don't use Qianlong!" He laughed twice, waved his big sleeves, and walked lightly towards the door.

... Zhang family.

"What did the official tell you?" Xu Zhiqian's bright eyes stared at Zhang Fei very curiously. She has been waiting, but she didn't expect to wait from the morning to the third watch in the evening, how could it take so long to talk, what are the two of them talking about!

So as soon as Zhao Xu left, she immediately slipped over. If you don't ask clearly, where can I sleep tonight. Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

"Why?" Xu Zhiqian said with little confidence: "I also care about you."

"Caring about me?" Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "You have kept this matter from me so hard, you still have the nerve to say you care about me." Xu Zhiqian rolled her lips and said aggrievedly: "I...I also I don’t want to hide it from you, it’s good for me if I hide it from you, if you say the wrong thing, it will hurt me too, but the official has repeatedly told me, do you dare to say it for you.” Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head and said: “I also Don’t dare! So don’t ask.”

"......!" Xu Zhiqian immediately looked confused, why did she pass the mask over.

Zhang Fei yawned,

"Miss Xu, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early! It's midnight, and my wife is not at home, so it won't affect you well." Xu Zhiqian stood up and snorted, "What madam? That's just a fake That's all, don't be too sentimental." You have to sarcasm this guy.

Zhang Fei nodded straightly and said: "It's okay, she is fake, you are real."

"Bah! You disciple!" Xu Zhiqian blushed and left angrily. Zhang Fei smiled, came to the door, looked up at the starry sky, and said with a smile: "Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, there are three people at this table now."
