"Mr. Wen, can you explain it more carefully? I will listen carefully after I have a young man."

Seeing that Wang Anshi was humble and honest, Wen Yanbo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he fooled Wang Ning'an, he got the order to rebel the powerful, and the old man's face was still swollen.

I hope Wang Anshi will be more likely to fool him!

"Jiefu, do you think Mr. Lu can beat Wang Ning'an?"

"Impossible. Lu Gongzhu's qualifications, prestige, and ability, are far inferior to King Xiliang, and even Sima Junshi... Wansheng really couldn't understand why Xianggong Wen said that Sima Jun was really defeated?"

"Hahaha... Jiefu is an honest man. If you only see Sima Guang in your eyes, then the winner will be easy to distinguish, but if the court is like this, how many people can he kill with a quick knife?"

"suck!"

Wang Anshi finally changed color. He presided over the reform for several years and knew a truth. It was a mess. But you only have one needle in your hand. To solve the problem, you can only do it one needle and one thread. There is no other way.

Wang Ning'an was very strong, but he was a minister after all, and he could not act recklessly. The main reason why he could kill Han Qi and Fu Bi was that the two and Zhao Yunrang were too deeply involved in the battle for the royal throne. It was the late emperor who wanted to kill them, and Wang Ning'an was just a fuel to the fire.

Take the old minister at Wen Yanbo for example, Wang Ning'an dared not take action easily. You may be able to kill one or two, but the backlash is unimaginable.

Moreover, every time you get rid of an opponent, you will invisibly create a lot of enemies. No matter how fast you are, you will be blunt... The so-called words are terrifying. In the officialdom, everyone will carry a sedan chair. If you really become a lonely minister, then you will have nothing to play. No matter how strong you are, you will be doomed.

After understanding this principle, Lu Gongye is nothing. If it were him, there would be other Tianguan and civil servant teams, just like the water of the Yangtze River, surging endlessly. Sooner or later, there would be super experts that Wang Ning'an could not deal with.

"Mr. Wen is wise and wise, and I admire her late-life. But how to crack the situation in front of me? Please give me some advice?"

"Oh, I'm afraid I'll make you laugh!"

"Otherwise, Mr. Wen will definitely give me advice."

"Okay!" Wen Yanbo pretended to be deep for a long time before saying, "If the results of this investigation were overturned, the court and the country would discuss things, and they would say that for the sake of his disciples, the King of Xiliang ignored the rules of the court, threw the rules aside, looked down on the emperor, and acted recklessly... It would be bad for him to leave this impression." Wen Yanbo said, "So, you might as well admit that he was unlucky first."

"Are you recognized? Are there many of them?"

"Haha, Jiefu, the inspection is conducted every year. These officials are transferred at most. As long as they have not left the officialdom, they will have the opportunity to be promoted back... And with the merits of this inspection, they lifted up Lu Gong high and sent him to the Privy Council, or went out to guard one side. In short, it was just to put him in a blank. The gates were taken down the mountain of the Ministry of Personnel... This inspection also reminded everyone... In the past, the official system was chaotic, and most of the personnel power was in power. Now that the six ministries have recovered, the authority of the Ministry of Personnel is too great, and they can even compete with the Prime Minister. It is extraordinary! No matter who has the power, the Ministry of Personnel cannot be underestimated."

...

After leaving Lao Wen, Wang Anshi returned to the mansion. After sitting down, he looked at his son Wang Rong.

"What do you think Wen Yanbo's method?"

Wang Rong was still immersed in shock. He had learned about Wen Yanbo's skills. This old man could survive to this day and really became a spirit! Lu Gongzhe inspected and plotted against Wang Ning'an. If he forced himself to overthrow, it would be like confronting the rules of the court. The consequences were too great, so it would be better to take a step back.

If he was Wang Ning'an, he would take a step back temporarily as Wen Yanbo said to show justice, and then find an opportunity to promote his disciples and transfer Lu Gongzhu from the Ministry of Personnel. Everything was safe and stable, and the waves were not prosperous. After three years, he would conduct another inspection and kill all the people Lu Gongzhu.

It’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

The wisdom of the old senior is extraordinary. In just one meeting, Wang Rong became Wen Yanbo's little fan. He was full of admiration and wanted to fall under Lao Wen's disciple and learn skills from him as soon as possible.

My son was so excited, but Wang Anshi couldn't be happy.

"So many officials who do things have demoted them from outside the office. Who will be responsible for the reform? Even if you say, after three years, they will be transferred back, the question is, can the court afford to delay these three years? One, two, three years, repeated over and over again, endlessly, wouldn't our Song Dynasty fall into the quagmire of party struggles, and will there still be a chance to succeed in the revival?"

The continuous questioning left Wang Rong speechless.

He stuttered: "Although my father has a good idea, he must resist the rules of the court and force him to change the results of the inspection. It's so unpleasant!"

Wang Anshi took a deep breath, "In this way, go and see Sima Junshi for his father. If he feels it is necessary, he can write a letter for his father. The issue of expenditure assessment standards will be convinced. "

Wang Rong was a little anxious, Dad, what good will it do for you to do like this? It’s just to make wedding clothes for Wang Ning'an!

"Yuanze, in the future, you should think more about the people and the people. There are things in this world that are thousands of times more important than power struggle and power struggle. You should continue to reflect at home!"

Wang Anshi shook his head slightly...lead the house and headed straight for Sima Guang's mansion.

At this time, several people gathered here, including Wang Shao, Su Shi, Chen Qing, and Lu Hui. Everyone was in the same trench. Lu Hui said first: "This time the problem lies with the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel. Originally, the examination of the law only supervised the implementation of the new law. Later, what happened? The more and more assessment items were more, the examination of the law and the examination of the Ministry of Personnel were combined into one, and they all fell into the hands of the Tianguan... Is this appropriate? There is no special standard for judging the results of the new law, and the result can only be like this. The more you do, the more mistakes you will make!"

Su Shi couldn't help it, "Yes, just take Ziyou as an example. He executed a lot of people, but he also cleaned up the cases deposited over the years, returned the land he had seized to the people, and gave some real criminals to the law! These are all good things that conform to the will of the people. On the side of the Ministry of Personnel, it only assessed the number of prisoners executed, not the case rate... What's this? If there were ten thousand people under my rule, I would not kill anyone, and I would still become a good official? It was ridiculous and ridiculous!"

Wang Shao was also indignant, "How have you assessed officials over the years? You must be kind and loving the people, honest and upright, not attached to the powerful, love the people as your son, and have fair problems... You guys say that they are all empty-minded things, and there is no such thing as a pragmatism. In the end, the evaluation is all based on clear discussions. Whoever brags and whoever has a good popularity will get good reviews. Isn't this a big joke in the world? Anyway, I'll leave the words here. If the court passes the list of Lu Gong this time, I will resign immediately!"

"I resigned too! Damn, it's really unhappy!" Su Shi followed suit, and Sima Guang glared at him fiercely.

"It's now, don't cause trouble!" Sima Guang sighed: "The assessment standards of the Ministry of Personnel are indeed inappropriate. What Mr. Lu did is despise... But the question is, what will people say now that the assessment standards are changed? How can the new standards be trusted? Can your Majesty pass it? Besides, if the master handles the case and hand over a large stall in the capital to us, we are incompetent. If we make this happen, how can we explain it!"

Su Shi was very helpless, "How about this, I will go to see my brother-in-law and ask him to make an idea, or go directly to His Majesty."

"inappropriate!"

Wang Shao waved his hand, "Master comes forward to protect everyone at this time. Even if he is selfless, he will be gossiped about it. It was originally something we were right, but it turned out to be ignored. It's so unpleasant!"

Lu Hui said helplessly: "After all, it's up to the investigation power, and it should have been brought back. There are also the Audit Department and these key yamen, which have to be installed by our people, otherwise they will be exploited if they are not careful."

...

While they were talking, suddenly the door came to report the news, saying that Wang Anshi had arrived.

Sima Guang stood up in a hurry, went out in person, and took Wang Anshi in.

"Brother Jiefu visited the humble house, and the brilliance shines brightly, and welcoming him."

Wang Anshi swept the tea sets in several locations and knew that there were others there, but it was just inconvenient to meet.

"Jun Shi, I came here this time just to ask you if I need to write a letter to your Majesty and tell your Majesty about the matter... For so many years, our standards for inspecting officials have not been rigorous enough... On the contrary, there are still many loopholes that can be exploited, which often makes good officials suppressed and are really constrained by their sincere work. With just one mouth, a villain succeeds and makes great achievements... This won't work!"

Wang Anshi said earnestly: "I thought of several standards, such as first, accounting for the completion of finance and taxation, secondly, examining criminal name, and examining cultural education, engineering, people's livelihood, and other projects. I also brought the audit department in, and then promoted the bank to the county to manage every sum of money. In addition, I also had to send personnel to visit and inspect from time to time to reflect the real situation. Only in this way can an official's political achievements be fully assessed, otherwise it would be too easy to judge right and wrong by relying on a single scale and half of the claws, just like a blind man touching an elephant, it would be too easy to wrong people."

Obviously, Wang Anshi had thought about it carefully, and the several key points he pointed out were exactly what Sima Guang thought.

"Brother Jiefu, it's really a clear view of the sun. But how to implement this method... And the results of this assessment have been successful for several days. We can't stay there forever and not send it out, which makes the people in the court panic!"

Wang Anshi nodded, "If Brother Junshi can trust me, I will go to the palace and talk to His Majesty. I think His Majesty can still listen to it."

Sima Guang's eyes lit up. Wang Anshi was the father-in-law of the current dynasty, so he was indeed much more suitable for him.

"Then it's a labor..."

Before Sima Guang could finish speaking, someone suddenly broke in outside.

"Prince, let me write to you!"

Sima Guang didn't care about anything anymore, so he reached out and grabbed it. After reading two pages, he chanted Amitabha Buddha!

Master, you saved everyone again!
Chapter completed!
