Speaking of which, the one who has been attacked the most recently was not Wang Ning'an, but his wife.

Various newspapers have dug up a lot of content and have gradually blamed Wang Anshi for the case, saying that his new law caused the decline of the countryside, and coupled with the forced force of the law to take risks, local officials have to take risks. It is definitely a harsh government that is more powerful than a tiger. Some people also compared Wang Anshi to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, saying that he was sweet-mouthed and a wise man. In name, for the sake of reform, it actually harmed the Song Dynasty. Some even found out the Hadith of Taizu, pointing out that the southerners could not be prime ministers. Wang Anshi came from the south and had a ill-hearted intention.

Obviously, not many of these remarks can stand scrutiny, but through the case, people's emotions are rising and they cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.

In everyone's opinion, Zhou Feng is right, and Lu Yan is understandable, both are right. For such a big case, someone always needs to be a bad guy, right? So, all kinds of dirty water are poured on Wang Anshi.

It's a bad luck to be tempted to be a husband.

When Wang Ning'an arrived, Wang Anshi was already lying on the hospital bed and applied an ice towel to his forehead.

Seeing that Wang Ning'an was coming, he struggled to sit up, with a look of shame.

"I should have visited the prince, but my illness is serious and I have to invite the prince over. I am ashamed, ashamed." Wang Anshi's voice was weak, as if he was really sick.

Wang Ning'an smiled faintly, "Everyone eats grains, no one will get sick. Brother Jiefu still needs to take good care of his illness. The court in the Song Dynasty is still pointing at you and taking responsibility!"

Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment, shook his head repeatedly, and said desolately: "Your Majesty, I am not going to be able to do it. In the case of Zhou Feng, I am exhausted, at a loss, and in a dilemma." Wang Ning'an looked sad and sighed repeatedly. He said that he was determined to reform and strengthen his country and the people.

But after working so many years, he ended up like this. He was ashamed that he wanted to resign from his post as the Prime Minister and return to the countryside.

In the past, he had a gunpowder explosion and a change of heaven, but Wang Anshi did not leave. This time, he was about to leave with such a case. It was incredible.

Wang Ning'an was so scared that he could not let Wang Anshi go now. The drunkard had no intention of government affairs. It was obvious that he would not hold on for a long time. If Wang Anshi didn't stand it, would he let those old guys come back? Sima Guang's prestige is not enough, and Wang Ning'an has no other candidates. If he really handed over the court to Wen Yanbo or Jia Changchao, who would be relieved!

"Brother Jiefu, you have worked hard for many years and spent countless efforts on the great cause of reform. Do you have the heart to let others ruin the new law?"

Wang Anshi suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, you're welcome. The new law is like my son of Wang Anshi. How can I hand it over to others easily? I don't want others to be corrupted! So Wang chose an excellent person, succeeding the prime minister, and continuing to implement reforms."

"Who?" Wang Ning'an asked in surprise.

Wang Anshi stretched out his finger, pointed at Wang Ning'an's nose, and laughed and said, "Prince, who else is more suitable besides you?"

"What?" Wang Ning'an was shocked and shouted strangely: "Brother Jiefu, are you kidding? Everyone in the world can be the priest, but I can't enter the Political Affairs Hall!"

"Wrong! No one is suitable, only the prince can do it!"

Wang Anshi suddenly raised his voice, and he said loudly: "Prince, you can actually see that you have a high position and a powerful title. Logically speaking, you should not be in charge of the government affairs hall, nor should you be involved in government affairs. But... the Song Dynasty is different now." Wang Anshi was enthusiastic and excited: "Because of the reform, the official system of the Song Dynasty has been adjusted, a bunch of waste was cut off, and countless officials have been added. Everyone performs their duties. Even as the prime minister, they cannot undermine the imperial power! So they are worried that the prince will threaten the throne and cannot do it at all!"

Wang Ning'an kept the words of her husband.

But he had to admit that in the Song Dynasty, all checks and balances are becoming more and more complete, and with developed newspapers, a little big and small matter will be known to everyone in the world. There is no doubt that it will increase the difficulty of usurping the throne countless times!

"Prince, since the reform, government affairs have increased by more than a hundred times! Moreover, Zhou Feng's case told everyone that they can never use clear and turbidity, good or bad, right or wrong to decide the government affairs in the future... Therefore, there must be a capable talent who is familiar with various affairs, good and good, and good, and clear-headed, and able to take the helm for the Song Dynasty... Who else can this person besides the prince? I dare to ask the prince, for the sake of the people of the world, don't avoid it! A real man takes the initiative, who else can be the prime minister than the prince?"

These words are passionate and enthusiastic. They are very willing to be tempted by their husbands and have the ability to fool others. It was the first time that Wang Ning'an discovered that I have so many advantages, why didn't I find it before?

His head became a little hot, but it cooled down quickly.

"Brother Jiefu, you want to put me on the fire and roast me!"

"That's right, I want to put the prince on the fire, but I believe that real gold is not afraid of fire refining!" Wang Anshi waved his arm and shouted, "Prince, don't hesitate. So many people are watching you, the hope of the world, you must carry this burden! Don't let everyone down!"

I have to say that Wang Anshi's enthusiasm made Wang Ning'an unable to stand it.

"Brother Jiefu, I am a vassal king, how can I become the prime minister?"

"It's a big mistake! Prince, why are you still struggling with your identity? Your Majesty believes in you, the Prince depends on you, and the reform cannot be separated from you! You can't stand by or not. Since this is the case, why not justify and take on heavy burdens? Now the reform has reached the most critical moment. If you can't stand it, you will inevitably endure the Qingli New Policy. Prince, do you have the heart to bear it?"

To be honest, Wang Ning'an was a little confused. He had thought about many possibilities, but he did not expect that Wang Anshi would actually give up.

In his impression, Wang Anshi is a desperate person. Even if he offended the world, he will do whatever he wants. He is a person who is a stubborn person and is a stubborn person!

How could he give up on the phase and be willing to let the virtuous be able to explain it no matter how hard he did!

"Brother Jiefu, are you kidding?"

Wang Anshi smiled with emotion, "Your Majesty, I have a few heartfelt words to tell you."

...

In the next quarter of an hour, Wang Anshi kept talking about his thoughts and told Wang Ning'an.

In fact, without the gold from the Western Regions, the level of urbanization in the Song Dynasty was very high, and in the original history, it was as much as 30%.

With the invention of cement, military orders and trade routes opened, the urbanization of the Song Dynasty was advancing rapidly, and various problems emerged one after another.

In the past, the reform was so successful that people turned a blind eye to it and thought it was irrelevant.

It was not until the Zhou Feng case broke out that there was time to look back at various issues.

There are about twenty or thirty cities in the Song Dynasty today, and each city is constantly absorbing everything around it. In other words, hundreds of prefectures and counties are facing the dilemma of blood loss.

"Prince, some people use the Zhou Feng case to force the Political Affairs Hall to delegate financial power, keep more taxes in the local area, or take out some fiscal budgets to fill the local gap. Some people also suggest that the Royal Bank be abolished, allow local governments to set up their own banks, and support their own industries... What does the prince think?"

Wang Ning'an took a deep breath and shook his head, "If it doesn't work, it won't work!" Wang Ning'an had thought about it a long time ago. If he could solve the problem by spending money, he would still be so worried!

The industry and finance of the Song Dynasty were still in a just-in-come stage and had no spare energy to feed back agriculture.

Moreover, in the era of industry, developing the economy requires certain conditions. Many prefectures and counties are not suitable for developing industry and commerce at all. Even if you invest huge amounts of money, you will not have much profit.

The Song Dynasty had to do too much and could not withstand waste at all. Even if there was still enough money and energy to use it to fight the Western Xia, the Liao Kingdom, and expand its territory, wouldn’t it be better?

Wang Ning'an knew exactly who those who sought financial power.

The aristocratic families represented by the Han family have opposed the Jin-Yuan reform before. This time, when I have the opportunity, how can I not fight for my own interests? But the court could not bow to them at all.

Wang Anshi sighed: "There must be someone responsible for this case. If I refuse to resign from office and prefecture, there is no way to explain it. They will continue to make trouble until they force the court to give up their financial power. If that happens, all the efforts of the reform will be wasted. Therefore, I resigned from office to protect the success of the reform! Prince, please take it over!"

Wang Anshi was sincere and thoughtful. I have to say that Wang Ning'an was really moved, and he was a little hesitant.

"Brother Jiefu, you, are you really willing to return to the countryside?"

Wang Anshi's face turned slightly red. He raised his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am not yet my destiny this year, how can I be content with Lao Linquan! But I am a little confused and a little confused."

"I have been a local official for nearly 20 years. I think I understand the sufferings of the people, the Qingmiao Law, the Fangtian Tax Law, the exemption law, and the Market Change Law... These laws are the result of my painstaking efforts... But when it is truly implemented, it is not all beneficial to the country and the people. On the contrary, many people have suffered from it! I know that too many people scold me, but I have no choice but to change it easily. Once I retreat, the whole reform will be difficult to continue. I can only bite the bullet and hold on!"

Wang Anshi said earnestly: "Until this case appeared, I found that many new problems had occurred, and I had never thought about them before. I didn't know how to solve them. I continued to let me stay in the face. It was just a corpse and a lot of mistakes. I had an idea, I want to travel around!"

This guy has a unique idea! Wang Ning'an doesn't know what to say.

"It was the prince who inspired me. Back then, you asked Sima Guang to go to the local area to find a way to solve the problem of Qingyan. You also told him that the knowledge he had walked out with his feet was ten thousand times more useful than what he got from books! In recent years, Sima Jun has really mentioned that we should integrate knowledge and action. I have pushed the reform to this point, and I have no idea what to do next. I don't know, nor can I do it."

"I want to really go to the people, go to various counties, and go to mountain villages to see how the people are doing? Who are the reforms good for, who are not good for, and how to choose. It takes three or five years, or ten or eight years, as long as I think it through, I will come back!"

"So, the matter in the court depends entirely on the prince!"

History is full of dust

Do you know? The little one finally sorted out... No need to worry...
