[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

The people of Zhuge'an stopped persuading him, so what does it matter if he was ordered by King Duan?Zhezong decided that he didn't need evidence.

Zhuge An took care of Zhezong and went out of the palace after he fell asleep, and he didn't want to be too deeply involved in the government affairs.

In front of the gate of General Zhen Guo's mansion, Zhuge Zheng and I also stood in the same corner as last time, watching Zhuge An's people come, surrounded by guards.This time it was useless for Zhuge An to pretend not to see, Zhuge Zheng and I walked out slowly.

"Shenhou? Don't come here without any harm." Zhuge An dismounted and looked at his brother calmly.

"Thanks to the general's concern, I'm lucky to be safe." The two closest people in the world acted stranger than their political opponents in the court. After exchanging pleasantries, the two couldn't even find a topic of harmony.

"I haven't seen you for many years, let's go into the room and talk." Zhuge An was the first to break the silence. He knew that Zhuge was right, and he wouldn't come to him unless he had something important to do.

Zhuge Zheng and I followed Zhuge An into the outer study room. The host and guest were seated, holding a cup of tea. How did a child grow up into a cold and cold youth all of a sudden?Zhuge Zheng, I thought about the child born to my mother's old age and dystocia, and his elder brother was the first to pick up the red monkey; Zhuge Zheng, I devoted myself to martial arts, and remembered that when I was young, I would listen to The servants said, "The second young master is in Junguo's mansion." Then there was Zhuge Anren's stubborn facial features in his youth. After he became the throne, he insisted on joining the army. When he was 16 years old, Zhuge Zhengwo finally couldn't stop him.Zhuge Zheng remembered the willow branches he had broken off at the city gate back then. The willow branches had long since withered and rotted, but the brothers hadn't seen each other for seven years.

"What do you want from me?" Zhuge An asked coldly.

"I heard that you told His Majesty about Zeng Zi's edict?"

"Yes."

"Confused! Zeng Zixuan is the head of civil servants. The Nanfeng Zeng family has been farming and studying for generations. The in-laws and the same family in the same year are such a big net. If you bring him down, how do you deal with yourself. The official family is now terminally ill, and the court should not be in turmoil. You haven't practiced the Green Sprouts Method, anyway, it's under your control, so if you're vain and obedient..."

"Enough! The Green Crop Law harms people, don't you know? Zeng Bu's coercive edict, did I instigate it? I deserve to stand up and be beaten. Fighting back is treason and stupidity. The officials are not as overbearing as you. The officials If he is seriously ill and needs to whitewash the peace, then he will not feel at ease even if he dies! Who are you? You are the Lord of Zhuge, haven’t you always been righteous? Now you want me to pretend to be false? Is it because I am stubborn and inflexible, or are you letting me go? Long Zhigong lost his eyes. Duan Wang is so good, you can kill me, my brother, for the sake of the monarch in your heart. Do you know how many people die in the northern border every year? You know that I have new wounds and old ones Has the injury never healed? If these boastful hypocrites are allowed to intervene in the military affairs of the northern border, I will die without a place to die! Hahaha, the sage of the martial arts, the friend of the emperor, the immortal of the literary forest, and the teacher of chivalry, what a big name, What a great name!"

"I never thought of hurting you." I'm just afraid that if you act so recklessly, the officials will soon be unable to protect you.Zhuge Zheng and I took a deep breath. Every time he talked with Zhuge Anren, they started to quarrel and couldn't talk anymore. "I just want to remind you that the DPRK and China are fiercely contested, and civil servants and military generals are in the same situation. You have to be careful. The officials used the word Xu Guo for you back then, 'the strategy of the military and the peace of the people, and the king's heart for the country' , all the affairs of the state are the most important. Now among the princes, who can take on this important task? I know that you have a good relationship with the officials, but life and death are fate, and there is nothing you and I can do. Mother also has to consider the people. You also say The young crop law harms people. As far as I know, the Baojia law has never been implemented in the northern border. You have used the money allocated by the court to support special soldiers, and the people are still the people. The new law does more harm than good, and you never implement it on the border , isn’t it just that he is aware of his harm? Now the officials have also figured it out, and are weakening the reform efforts, and wait until the new king..."

"Let's go..." Zhuge Anren sighed, Zhuge Zhengwo is still the righteous Zhuge Zhengwo, the difference between them is political disagreement.But his elder brother only saw the dispute between him and civil servants, but he didn't expect that he had secret talks with officials just to avoid civil and military disputes.With his medical skills, he could control Zhezong's condition without calling the imperial physician, but would he dare to keep such a handle?He put everything on the bright side, not to make Zeng Bu look bad.When Wang Anshi reformed the law, supporters and opponents were still a "gentlemen's dispute". When the old party turned over, the "Che Gai Pavilion Poetry Case" was set off, the most famous literary prison in Song history was raised, and 90 "treacherous parties" were concocted List, things will slide towards the abyss of party struggle, unstoppable.Even Fan Cunren (son of Fan Zhongyan), the leader of the old party, said, "We have been fighting for decades, and this is the first of its kind. Our generation may not be spared." Everyone is involved in the "struggle", who still remembers to guard the land and keep the people safe, and do practical things for the people?

The relationship between the two brothers is just like the dispute between the old and the new party members. Yes, their original intentions are good, and they both want to use their own ideas to transform the country. The differences between them are purely political.But the times are changing, too many people's lives are taken in the middle, and too many things happen, how can the brotherhood resist the secularism, temptation, suspicion, and friends' persuasion? One day, they will be the same as today's old and new party members , can't wait to kill the other party.

"You and I are just like the old and new party members. I don't want us to turn against each other one day and face each other with swords. Let's just pretend that you have never been here, I have never heard of it, what kind of new king, just these two words, it is evidence of the crime of ransacking the family! "

"Are you blaming me for choosing Duan Wang?" Zhuge Zheng felt bitter in my heart. What kind of ideal can override his brothers and relatives? He chose Duan Wang because he was weak and gave Zhuge An people more room to play; It's not that I want a share of the merits of Conglong, just to have the capital to protect him in the future. "I know that Prince Duan is wrong, but among all the princes, who can compare with him?"

"I only hope that the official family will always be the official family!" Zhuge Anren shouted.

"You know it's impossible, the official's family is already terminally ill, and their lives..."

"This is the biggest difference between me and you. I don't know the current affairs, I don't recognize the rules, and I don't accept fate. You want the truth, fairness, and justice. I always want the people I care about to live well. I am this kind of villain , selfish villain, without your fraternal love for the world. What Xu Guo, what Anren, I just want to repay him for his kindness."

"The kindness of knowing you? Is it just the kindness of Yuzhi? You act in front of the officials, pretending to be dull and loyal, do you think I don't know?" Zhuge Zhengwo was also angry. He knew Zhuge Anren's nature. After his performance in front of the officials, he thought that he had other plans, and he was definitely not really loyal to the officials.

"It's true that there is a pretense of being dull, but who said that my loyalty is fake. The official is a high-ranking official. I only hope that he can see my good side. All the courtiers in the world are like this in front of the king? You always Rihe Zhuiming joked and squabbled, and in front of the officials, didn’t he always be majestic and dignified? I asked Zhuiming to give you a message. Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and when Wang Mang was humble and not usurped, I will see if I am loyal to the officials. Xinxin, you will know when I enter the coffin."

Zhuge was helpless, and he didn't doubt Zhuge'an's loyalty, he just rushed to the point.Zhuge Zhengwo was keenly aware that the officials seemed to have too much trust in Zhuge Zhengwo's feelings, but he couldn't say that the trust was not good against his conscience, he was just a little worried intuitively.

"Let's stop here. I'll take you out." Zhuge'an sighed, and said nothing speculatively. The brothers didn't meet each other, so maybe the relationship could last a little longer.

"No, you should rest. Be careful." Zhuge Zhengwo helplessly reminded that in the Song Dynasty, it was too easy for a civil official to deal with generals, especially a famous general like Zhuge Anren.

Zhuge Zheng and I broke up with Zhuge Anren. On the second day, Zhezong saw the record of their brothers' conversation in the palace.Zhezong asked Liu Min with fantasies: "A'an said he was pretending to be dull in front of me, do you think he knows my feelings? He is so sensitive in fighting, he must be able to feel it."

Liu Min bowed silently, there was really no way to agree with him without hesitation, this was not something sensitive or dull could detect, this kind of thing was like a thunderstorm, no one would believe it when he said it, let alone an insincere hint.

Zeng Bu resigned and exiled in Yazhou. Considering the crimes he committed, such punishment is already light.It is true that Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, but exile is worse than killing, killing is not enough, exile suffers day and night, and loses dignity.Zeng Bu is 63 years old, can he stand the pain of exile under yoke?

Sure enough, after the right prime minister was elected, news of Zeng Bu's death spread to the capital.I forgot to mention that the new Prime Minister You is named Fu Zongshu.

No, the time is wrong, and the people are even more wrong. The people of Zhuge An were startled when they received the news. No matter from the point of view of martial arts or the rules of promotion in the imperial court, this Fu Zongshu is an unknown figure. Why did he suddenly become Prime Minister You?Zhuge'an is far in the north, but he is very concerned about the personnel changes in Bianjing. Where did Fu Zongshu come from?

Not only Zhuge'an people were at a loss, but most people in Beijing didn't know the origin of this Fu Zongshu.After a search, I found out that it was just a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. I didn't hear that he had any credit, and his qualifications and status were so low that people could see it. He was just a humble bachelor who was admitted by himself.Why was he selected as the right prime minister?

People from Zhuge'an asked Zhe Zong this question, Zhe Zong said proudly: "Fu Zongshu is the person I arranged in the Imperial Academy, and now I happen to ask him to take a place. Don't worry, he will be replaced when there is a suitable person." Zhe Zong knew that Fu Zongshu was not As the material for the prime minister, but he really didn't want to choose someone from the new party. Zhang Dun already belonged to the new party. Zhezong had realized that the pace of reform should be slowed down, and the two prime ministers could not be both from the new party.But he is even more unwilling to flatter the Queen Mother, let the Queen Mother steal the power of the government, and choose someone who supports her or King Duan.In order to avoid the ministers at the upper echelons of the court who couldn't see their positions clearly, the target Fu Zongshu stood out.

Zhuge'an can only suppress the bitterness in his heart, not all stories will be staged according to his own script, the most important thing now is to find Gu Xichao.This is an amazingly talented villain, with a talent for exploring flowers, and a martial artist who wrote the "Seven Strategies" military book. It would be great if he could come under the command of the Zhenbei Army.But where to find him?Zhuge Anren's intelligence in Beijing is not clear, maybe he can start from the Jianghu, but he just scolded the leaders of the Jianghu, isn't it just to make himself feel uncomfortable now?
