Chapter 121 Do not use the hidden dragon
"This guy is really powerful, and finally forced the officials to confess their identities."
Seeing Zhang Fei's hurried back, Xu Zhiqian could not help but smile.
In fact, she was happy to see Zhang Fei know the identity of the emperor, because like her father, she 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.
"Ahhh! Wang Ye, Wang Ye, isn't this just 'Xu'? How could I be so stupid? I didn't even think about it. You can't blame me. Who would have thought that the official would be so shameless and pretend to be my little fan Brother come to tell me what to say.
Fishing law enforcement is not so ruthless, it's really deceiving to catch someone fishing all the time.
What did I tell him before?You shouldn't have said anything wrong, right?
After leaving Xu's house, Zhang Fei didn't rush back to his home, but stayed in the alley, carefully recalling his conversation with Wang Ye.
After thinking about it, although he can't remember many of the conversations, after all, many of them were drunk, but he thinks that if he makes the emperor unhappy, then the emperor will 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 political reform. It can be seen that the next conversation was about what to discuss, and this time Zhang Fei had to answer.
Zhang Fei, who calmed down, began to sort out the whole matter. Although I had entered the game and had the support of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, I still had no clear direction. Where should I go?
Following Wang Anshi, the risk is extremely high. With the current political system, when the productivity has not improved significantly, it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of not adding taxes to the people but using the country.
Follow Sima Guang, although the chances of victory are greater, but it is difficult to make a difference.
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 also be like Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. Go up to sit in the manor and play with them.
Yes, being a 25-year-old boy, jumping left and right, if you are a little careless, you may die without a place to die. If you want to play, you have to sit in the banker by yourself. Do not rest in peace.
Zhang Fei was in the alley, meditating for a long time before pushing open the back door of his house.
"Xiao Xiaomin sees His Majesty."
When he came to the hall, Zhang Fei bowed, with an embarrassing rather than polite smile on his face.
"Free gift!"
Seeing his expression, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and when Zhang Fei straightened up, he said, "I'm hiding my identity from you, just because I don't want you to be concerned about these red tapes and have a close relationship with me."
At first he just wanted to meet Zhang San, but during the chat, he hit it off. Many of Zhang Fei's ideas coincided with his. He kept concealing his identity. Although he really wanted to get some answers from Zhang Fei, it was really two different things from his concealing his identity.
Is it too long for me to have a close relationship with you?Zhang Fei nodded with an embarrassed smile, but immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, the humble people are humble, how dare you know your Majesty intimately."
This was exactly what Zhao Xu didn't want to see, but he also knew that it was inevitable, so he sighed and said, "You can do whatever you want." Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."
"I don't, Xiaomin."
"sit down!"
Zhao Xu said again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Only then did Zhang Fei sit down properly.
Zhao Xu said helplessly: "Actually, I really don't want to reveal my identity, but if I don't, I'm afraid you will kick me out."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Xiaomin was really wronged. Xiaomin just planned to go out by himself, but he didn't want to let..."
Halfway through the speech, he seemed to feel that the more he said the more wrong it was.
Zhao Xu chuckled: "This is my fault, don't worry about it."
Zhang Fei either 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 you still have doubts about the reform. This also makes me doubtful, 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 were the main purpose of his trip.Although Wang Anshi had told him how to govern officials, he always felt that Zhang Fei was still not optimistic about the reform, because this fellow would shirk in every possible way and just 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 litigation, he obviously supports the reform, which also leads to his attitude that Zhao Xu always Some 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. 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 is the three redundancy, that is, redundant officials, redundant troops and excessive expenditure, and the first two disasters are the main reasons for the third disaster. Why doesn't the court directly prescribe the right medicine to reduce the number of officials? Reduce officers and soldiers, reduce salaries."
Zhao Xu sighed: "If it were 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 fall to in the end?"
The reason why Zhang Fei disliked Wang Anshi's reform is because Wang Anshi forced a set of advanced financial management concepts into an old system, which would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction.
Although Sima Guang's concept of financial management is a mess, he understands politics very well, and his prediction is actually right and very accurate.
Tax increases will eventually fall on the heads of ordinary people, whether it is ten years or 20 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 on the country, and he who enriches his country will capitalize on the world. If he wants to enrich the world, he will capitalize on the world'. Do you think this is wrong?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Xiaomin thinks this is too true, but isn't it the same as what Xiaomin said?"
Zhao Xu said: "Why is it not the same thing?"
Zhang Fei said: "What people ask is not right or wrong, but whether it can be done? The problem today is redundant officials. The solution must be to reduce the number of officials, but the court can't do it. It can be seen that the problem is not about thinking about how to do it." It depends on whether the court can do it, so the court must solve the problem first."
Zhao Xu said: "Legal system."
Regarding this point, Zhang Fei actually mentioned it to him.
"Not bad!"
Zhang Fei said: "If Your Majesty really wants to make the country rich and its army strong, the first thing to do is to build a sound legal system, so that 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, as long as the court increases taxes, the people will suffer, thus falling into a vicious circle.It's better to trust Sima University to 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, and the current reform is imminent, and I cannot back down!"
Zhao Xu is already sweating profusely, and now that the reform is imminent, it is really 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 a great opportunity."
Zhao Xu was surprised and said, "Excellent opportunity?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Your Majesty doesn't need to change the previous plan, but you still fully support the reform of the Grand Master Wang. If it can be achieved, it is of course the best, but if it cannot be achieved, then let them die together."
Zhao Xu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face showed a look of shock, "Jade and jade are burned 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 bring my Great Song Dynasty back from the ashes?"
Zhao Xu hurriedly asked: "How to be reborn from the ashes?"
Zhang Fei replied: "Don't use Qianlong."
It was already the third watch.
Lanterns were hung in front of the palace gate early on.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Ah? What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, we have arrived!"
Zhao Xu opened the curtain and found that he had come to the gate of the palace. He couldn't help getting out of the carriage. He stood beside the carriage for a long time, and suddenly the corner of his mouth raised, "It's a good move, don't use it!"
Haha 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 laughed and said, "I won't tell you."
"Why?"
Xu Zhiqian said with little confidence: "I also care about you."
"Care 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 twitched the corners of her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "I don't want to hide it from you either. What good will it do 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, how dare you hide it for you?" What do you say?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare! So don't ask."
".!"
Xu Zhiqian immediately looked confused, why did she hand over the mask.
Zhang Fei yawned, "Miss Xu, it's getting late, you should go back to rest early! It's midnight, and my wife is not at home, so the influence is not good."
Xu Zhiqian stood up and snorted, "What madam? That's just fake, don't be too sentimental."
I have to sarcasm this fellow.
Zhang Fei nodded straightly and said: "It's okay, she is fake, you are real, okay?"
"Bah! You disciple!"
Xu Zhiqian blushed, and left angrily.
Zhang Fei chuckled, 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."
