Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Oh!" Li Chunyou was even more dismissive, "That is the benevolence and sage of today's son, who moved the gods, sent down auspiciousness, and ensured that the people live and work in peace and prosperity. What does it have to do with Xinxue!"

Chen Dong said angrily: "You are making unreasonable words!"

"Chen Dong! What are you? You are not even a Jinshi, and you dare to play presumptuously with us here! If you want to say that the new learning is useful, I will tell you now! Facts have proved that everyone in the world is against the new learning! Luo Jing The case is the best example!"

Not to be outdone, Chen Dong said, "That's because someone with a heart is behind the scenes!"

Li Chunyou immediately put on a righteous look, slapped the table angrily, and shouted loudly: "Don't you have to let everyone stand up to resist, causing people's hearts to collapse, and the society to be uneasy, so you are willing to let it go!"

Chapter 436 The Storm in Tokyo City (Second Change)

Li Chunyou's words made Chen Dong dumbfounded for a moment.

Most people who want to be practical have a fatal weakness: they are not very good at seizing the moral high ground, or disdain to seize the moral high ground.

On the contrary, people like Li Chunyou who praise this person as a good person today and say that he is not a good person tomorrow, and people who talk about morality and taking the world as their own responsibility, are mixed like ducks in water.

This kind of person deeply understands that I have no real ability, but I can create a persona to win people's hearts and make myself invincible.

Those Confucian scholars who fought in Luoyang, they just followed Li Chunyou's way. They praised people like Li Chunyou and thought he was a good minister.

As for people like Chen Dong, those who work hard and only want to do things well will definitely offend people, and it doesn't matter if they offend people, but they will definitely not have a good reputation.

Some Confucian scholars even said in private: "I know that Chen Dong has done a lot of good things, but he publicly said that the students of the Guozijian didn't do anything. Based on this alone, he is not a good person. No wonder his New Deal was blocked, he deserved it! We should not allow such bad people to be in power! We must resolutely oppose it!"

Some Confucian scholars even rushed to the Secretary of Agricultural Affairs, took advantage of Chen Dong to come out, and yelled at him: "Chen Dong! You are a treacherous minister who is a disaster for the country! It is my kindness that I come here to remind you now, I advise you Correct it as soon as possible!"

Chen Dong also doubted himself for a time, and even submitted his resignation to Zhao Ning.

He just told the truth, but was attacked by countless people.

Sometimes he can't figure it out, is it wrong to be honest?

Is it true that everyone has to tell lies with inconsistency in order to be considered smart?Is he considered a good person?

Zhao Ning also talked with him several times about the way of politics and the morals of the world, which can be said to be heart-to-heart.

After all, there are not many people like Chen Dong who are not afraid of offending others and are willing to do practical things.

In the end, Chen Dong only said one sentence: "Even if I die today, I will never agree to suspend new studies!"

Li Chunyou said: "Is it so important whether you die or not! Now the problem is here, if you don't deal with it and continue to expand, who can take this responsibility! Who! Who can take this responsibility!"

He Li coughed and reminded: "Li Shilang, pay attention to the occasion."

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I'm just excited for a while. Every time I think of the chaos of the situation and the danger of the country, I can't control myself. My heart hurts!"

As he spoke, Li Chunyou burst into tears.

He has climbed to the point of the highest morality, and he has begun to think about the survival of the country. Who would dare to object to his words?

As long as there are people who oppose it, they will be disregarding the survival of the country, and they will be heinous traitors!

"My lords! The survival of our Great Song Dynasty is here! If this continues, the Great Song Dynasty will perish. What face do we have to meet our ancestors!"

There was silence in the political hall.

Both Zhao Ding and Xu Han were in Yingtian Mansion, He Li didn't express his opinion, Cai Mao's face was pale, staring at the two dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep all night last night.

A deputy prime minister and a ruling party, neither of them spoke.

Finally, Prince Zhao Chen, who was sitting on the side, said: "The country ruled the world with propriety, righteousness, benevolence, virtue, and trustworthiness. bad!"

After a moment of silence at the scene, many people praised it.

Everyone praised the prince for his benevolence.

In the end, the discussion in the Zhengshitang ended without a problem.

However, the "Three Gatherings" of the Zhengshitang, like a beacon tower igniting a beacon, agitated the official circles in Tokyo.

Countless officials who had hidden their political stances in the past began to express their stances at this time.

A new storm is brewing in Tokyo.

The "Three Gatherings" at the Zhengshitang on September [-] had just ended, and when the undercurrent was surging outside, Zhao Ning was reading the latest report from Luoyang.

There are two copies in total, one is a secret report written by Zhang Shuye to Zhao Ning, about the Zheng brothers and sisters.

One is the overall report on Luoyang written by Zhang Shuye on the fourth day of September.

The further chaos caused by the Confucian scholars in Luoyang made the situation even more chaotic. Even people from rich families were killed because of Fu Ting Fang, and now they are putting pressure on the prefect in the prefect's yamen.

After reading the two reports, Zhao Ning's anger was like a volcano, but he did not erupt. Instead, he had lunch with Qian Jinshu.

During the lunch, Qian Jinshu seemed to see that Zhao Ning had something on her mind, she said: "The official family has a lot of business recently, in fact, there is no need to deliberately come to accompany the concubine."

"It's okay, I might feel better after having a meal with you."

Qian Jinshu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are the officials worried about the Luojing University case that has been rumored recently?"

Zhao Ning said: "The situation in Luoyang is even worse than the outside world knows."

"But everything is under the control of the officials, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Then what are the officials still worrying about?"

"I'm just sad!"

"The officials are sad that some people were misled when they should have studied hard?"

"You still understand me!"

Qian Jinshu said with emotion: "The concubine can also understand the distress of the officials. We all know that there are some things that cannot be changed, but we are sad and angry at some people. Even the officials know that some people are easily impulsive."

Zhao Ning smiled wryly: "I also want to be impulsive. The happiest life is to be able to say what you want to say without holding back, and let the world fall."

Qian Jinshu said: "Most of the time, what people want to hear is not reason, but emotions. I remember when I was doing business in Hangzhou, I only needed to take care of the emotions of the customers. They could even spend money on useless products."

Zhao Ning sighed and said: "It's hard for you, you are taking care of my emotions now!"

"The official family is the husband of the concubine."

Zhao Ning changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of the prince?"

Qian Jinshu's heart tightened slightly.

She was indeed talking with Zhao Ning just now, but when Zhao Ning asked about the prince, she suddenly came to her senses, sitting next to her was not only her husband, but also the emperor of Song Dynasty.

The prince is an extremely sensitive existence, not to mention that she is a concubine in the harem, and now she is pregnant again.

She didn't know whether Zhao Guan's family was testing her or asking sincerely, she just said: "The prince is benevolent."

"Except for benevolence?"

"The prince is younger, and he is a little impatient in doing things and speaking."

"In the future, will he become stable?"

"Even the courtiers are not sure about the future."

Zhao Ning didn't ask any more questions, and after a while, Wang Huaiji came in and said, "Officials, officials from various ministries in the capital seek to see you."

"how many people?"

"There are more than 100 people, saying that they want to meet the officials about the new learning."

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "Just say I have something to do today, so I won't see you."

Wang Huaiji reminded: "Officials, the political affairs hall has three gatherings today, and all the gentlemen discussed important matters."

"I know, tell them, I have something to do today, don't see me!"

"Yes!"

Just as Wang Huaiji was about to go out, Zhao Ning stopped him again and said, "Tell Qin Hui to meet me at Wende Hall."

"Yes!"

Chapter 437 See you in the picture! (third change)

Zhao Ning knew why those officials were in such a hurry to seek an interview. They simply reached an unprecedented agreement because of the Luoyang case, and they had an impeccable excuse, so they came to put pressure on him to stop Xinxue.

Their stinky habit of teaching people how to behave is always not on the right path.

The reason why Zhao Ning disappeared was because he felt that there were not enough people coming.

More than 100?

not enough!

And the time is not yet ripe.

Not long after, Qin Hui arrived at Wende Hall.

At this time of high winds and high waves, Qin Hui knew the reason why Zhao Guanjia announced that he went to Wende Hall.

Qin Hui took a few deep breaths, the more chaotic the situation was, the more opportunities he had.

Whether it can enter the center is all in one fell swoop.

He walked into Wende Hall and said, "I see Your Majesty."

"The students of Songyang Academy who assassinated you before, have any results?"

"Report to Your Majesty, yes."

Qin Hui presented the first memorial.

"The reason for the assassination of the minister is that Songyang Academy has been disseminating opinions against the New Deal for the past six months. These people think that the minister is an important member of the New Deal, and that he deliberately killed the elders they respect in their hearts, so they want to assassinate the minister."

Zhao Ning read it quickly, and the confession was indeed as Qin Hui said.

Zhao Ning couldn't help showing a smile.

The value of this confession was so great that some opponents even assassinated the court minister in order to oppose it.

When the opponent cannot be defeated on a moral level, factual evidence is offered.

"That Hu Weizhi, the Imperial City Secretary handed over the person to you a few days ago, how is the interrogation going?"

"The process is all over."

Qin Hui handed over the second report, and Zhao Ning nodded after reading it, expressing his satisfaction.

Here is also the ironclad evidence that Wang Shoude incited the students of Songyang Academy to assassinate the Minister of Rites.

"What about Kong Fan in Songyang Academy?"

Qin Hui took out a third memorial and submitted it: "I have sent people to investigate. During Kong Fan's lectures at Songyang Academy, Kong Fan encouraged students to go to Luoyang to cause trouble. Half of the Luoyang case was caused by Kong Fan's instigation."

When Zhao Ning finished reading the third memorial, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Ning pretended to be puzzled and asked: "You mean, is this incident instigated by the Confucius family and Wang Shoude?"

"Wang Shoude first ordered Hu Weizhi to assassinate Li Ruoshui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then asked Kong Fan to go to Songyang Academy to give lectures, and asked Kong Fan to encourage the Confucian students of Songyang Academy to create trouble on the first day of September to block the Luojing University exam."

"What is his purpose?"

"Its purpose is to oppose the new learning."

"Why did Wang Shoude oppose the new learning?"

Qin Hui said: "The reason why Wang Shoude opposes the new learning is to let the court dismiss the Minister of Rites, and he wants to be in power."

Even Wang Shoude didn't know that he had such a purpose, but who gave Qin Hui the full authority to investigate the case?

Who told him to send someone to assassinate Minister of Rites!

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "Is there anyone involved behind the scenes?"

Qin Hui continued: "The person who recommended Wang Shoude to be the Minister of Rites is Li Chunyou."

"You mean, Li Chunyou ordered this behind?"

"I'm just guessing, but Li Chunyou recommended him, so the suspicion is very serious. Even if no evidence can be found, Li Chunyou should take responsibility for it."

From the end of the first year of Jingkang, when Zhao Ning just crossed over, to the fifth year of Jingkang, it can be said that Zhao Ning witnessed a sharp change in a person.

He saw with his own eyes how Qin Hui changed from a hot-blooded official in the officialdom to a sophisticated and cruel official.

Qin Hui in the first year of Jingkang absolutely couldn't say what he just said.

However, Qin Hui now has a steady tone and a calm demeanor, as if everything has been rehearsed countless times in his heart.

Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Then how do you think this matter should be handled?"
