My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Song Qingge was still injured, and it was inconvenient to move. Zhabusu's men took him out on horseback and rushed to the state government before the Jiangbei army received the news. They went out to the small alley in the city Liguai, I don't know how this group of people are so familiar with this place, or they are just walking around in order to make the people who are chasing after them dizzy.

The iron hooves stepped across the alley, waking up the neighbors on both sides. Someone came to open the door cursing to see what happened. They saw a row of cavalrymen with knives flying past, and there were soldiers shouting and chasing after them. They hurriedly frightened The door was locked, and the silence of sleep returned.

Arriving in a secluded alley, before the pursuers came, the cavalry jumped off their horses, took off their armor, changed into Han Chinese clothes, and took Song Qingge to a house to hide. After a while, they took another road through the back door. On the way, before dawn, I went to the mountain on the east side of the city. I couldn't get out of the city gate, so I had to go over the mountain.

Song Qingge was worried about Zabusu at first, but he didn't expect that Zabusu was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain alone with a knife.

"General Song." Zhabusu clasped his fists and said, "I am entrusted by Your Majesty to rescue the General and return to Dayu."

Although Song Qingge had never dealt with Zhabusu and met more people from Hu and Lu in the Wanyang area, the fourth prince of Batu Khan was good at speaking Chinese and looked like Han, which is common to everyone. He knew, and he also heard that Zabusu and Xie Ruzhuo knew each other, and now it seems that the relationship is not as good as usual, and he seems to understand something.

Maybe there will be no more wars in northern Xinjiang in the future.

"Thank you, fourth prince." Song Qingge also saluted him, and asked with a smile, "How did the fourth prince get out of the state government by himself?"

Zhabusu spread his hands and said: "After two tricks with Xu Zishen, a bunch of people surrounded him. I ran away when I saw the situation was not good. I used to be able to escape when I was surrounded by wolves. Xu Zishen's Are soldiers and horses more terrifying than wolves?"

Song Qingge asked again: "I heard that the fourth prince seems to be under house arrest before? Now...how did he appear here?"

Zhabusu sighed half-truthfully, and said: "Brothers fight against the wall, father and son turn against each other, am I here to avoid disaster?"

Song Qingge laughed off this statement and said, "Where are we going now?"

It is still not suitable to stay here for a long time, Zhabusu waved his hand to let the cavalry follow up, entered the forest at dawn, and said: "Hua Yangjia has not been found yet, and the court is still half-trusting about the Song family. In my opinion, this time It was not wise for General Song to return to Beijing."

The mountains and forests in the early morning were still damp and cool. Song Qingge's wound was aching. He pressed the wound on his shoulder twice, nodded and said, "That's true. Hua Yangjiao's bite forced the Song family to prove their innocence. It's easy to frame up. It is difficult to prove my innocence. If I go back to the court at this time, there will still be people who don't believe me, and Sun Bingde and Pei Yuankai may join forces to attack me. I have been instigated by Dazhao, and the situation is even worse. The only way is to find Hua Yangjiao and bring him back. Only by returning to Lezhou can the Song family's grievances be washed away."

Seeing that Song Qingge's face was too pale, Zhabusu asked Muren to take a blanket for him from his luggage, and said, "That's the reason. His Majesty's letter to me also tended to ask General Song not to return to the court, He even wanted to temporarily suppress the fact that General Song had been rescued. For the sake of face, Dazhao would not take the initiative to release the news that General Song had been rescued, so it was best for Dayu not to mention it. Yang Jie, we have gathered enough evidence to overturn the case in one fell swoop when we return to court, which is very satisfying."

"Actually, I still want to stay in Chizhou. It's better to go to Pingdu. I guess Huayangjiao is there." Song Qingge took the blanket and thanked him, "What does your Majesty say?"

After not sleeping all night, Zhabusu also yawned, and said: "Your Majesty, you can decide for yourself. If you want to go to a safe place, Xuanyi Mansion is the place. I have a house in Wuzhou. I can give General Song a temporary home, or go to pray. County? You went there when you rescued the emperor, and it was safe."

Song Qingge shook his head, and said, "I still want to go to Pingdu. Since Hua Yangke was able to get out of trouble, he must have had the help of the Jiangbei family. Now he must be in Pingdu. Only by going to Pingdu can he have a chance to take him away."

Zhabusu responded readily: "Okay, I haven't been to Pingdu yet, I'll take a look at it by the way. But I will go to Wuzhou to take refuge for the next two days, and Shen Ci is coming soon. When the war in Wuzhou settles down, Dazhao No one is thinking of looking for you anymore, let's sneak to Pingdu again."

Song Qingge frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong, and asked suspiciously: "The fourth prince is going to Pingdu too? Aren't you going back to Beidi?"

"Hey, why go back to Beidi? My father Khan and my younger brother should know that I have slipped away by now. Aren't they going to die when they run back?" Zhabusu said with a smile, "My choice is the same as yours, or don't go back. Don’t give the enemy another chance when you go back.”

Song Qingge nodded to show his understanding, and also guessed what kind of deal Xie Ruzhuo had made with Zhabusu, he tentatively asked: "Maybe the fourth prince needs my help when he returns to Beidi?"

Zhabusu snapped his fingers and said, "General Song is smart. Although this is a deal that His Majesty and I have already made without the consent of General Song, I think General Song will not refuse it. At that time, General Song will need to borrow the boundary of Wanyang Once you use it, lend me some soldiers, the best thing is, you and General Shen will come and lead my troops together, then everything will be fine."

Song Qingge: "..."

This is not a deal made without his consent. He feels that he has been sold by these two people.

"Your Majesty has agreed. As a subject, how can I say no?" Song Qingge smiled wryly, "In fact, it is enough for you to bring a Shen Ci."

Zhabusu didn't think it was a big deal to sow dissension, and he joked: "Actually, Shen Ci came to me a few days ago, and he also talked to me about the conditions. His Majesty's intention is to let him come forward, so it is Shen Ci who came to see me a few days ago. He agreed to resign, maybe he felt a little embarrassed about betraying you, so he took himself along with him."

Song Qingge didn't want to talk at all, so he was against this couple... Husband and wife teamed up and sold it. There is no tragedy in the world like this.

As soon as the Zhabusu got his hands, he sent a letter back to Beijing to inform Xie Ruzhuo. Song Qingge himself wrote a letter to go back to report his safety. When Xie Ruzhuo saw the letter, he was finally relieved. Thinking of the tragedy in his previous life, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Holding He Xiaoman and crying for a while.

After all, this life has a good result. Even though the process was difficult and hard, they all survived, and kept the clouds open to see the moonlight.

So far, all the regrets of his previous life are no longer regrets, and he has obtained all the consummations in this life. To him, this is the greatest meaning of reliving this life.

If he can go to Jiangnan with Shen Ci again in the future, then there will be no worries in this life.

The haze of many days was swept away, Xie Ruzhuo finally smiled knowingly, wiped away tears, and said to He Xiaoman: "I have already told the cabinet about the matter of sending Wei Yang to Wanyang, although they Temporarily disagree, but I will settle this matter, Wei Yang is ready to leave."

"Wang Zhangyin from the three major battalions stepped forward to stabilize the situation. He has always been upright, and he will not buy anyone's account. The cabinet went to him, but he never saw him." He Xiaoman said helplessly, "But the servants went to him, he Not seen either."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "This is pretty good. No one has anything to say, and the cabinet has no position to jump. I really did not choose the admiral at the time."

He Xiaoman took out the letter received by Dongchang and Jinyiwei today, Wei Yang can't take over Jinyiwei's affairs now, Jinyiwei's daily letter and report came to Dongchang, and said: "Wu Xianrong has suppressed Pei Yuankai's attack near Cangzhou Move, now Pei Yuankai dare not make any movement, after all, after the reorganization of the guards, Wu Xianrong's power has not diminished, and today's Wu Xianrong is no less inferior than Pei Yuankai."

"The Wanyang army only recognizes the Song family, so they can still convince the courtiers on this point." Xie Ruzhuo thought, "Let's talk to Sun Bingde and the others tomorrow, it should be fine. Besides, Pei Yuankai can't make any trouble now, he So what can Sun Bingde do?"

Before Sun Bingde said that the three major battalions might not be clean, but now Wang Chen came forward to conduct a dignified investigation, stabilized the situation, and did not let Sun Bingde intervene again. As for Sun Bingde's threat to the court with Pei Yuankai, now Wu Xianrong came forward to suppress it Pei Yuankai, the Cangzhou Army and the Xishan Army looked at each other from a distance, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. Sun Bingde guessed that Xie Ruzhuo had a backup, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Wu Xianrong moved faster than everyone imagined, and he did not hesitate to tear himself apart with Pei Yuankai.

When Wu Xianrong came to Jingzhong to discuss conditions with Xie Ruzhuo, everyone knew that it was for the benefit. There were guards and forces in Jingzhong, but they didn't know that there was also Qin Wangling, so now everyone can't help wondering whether Xie Ruzhuo gave it to him What's good about Wu Xianrong, it can make Wu Xianrong have such confidence to dare to fight against the Pei family, it is absolutely impossible without the support of something from the emperor behind him.

But Xie Ruzhuo naturally understood that Wu Xianrong could not compare with Pei Yuankai's power in the past, but his attitude towards Wu Xianrong and the benefits he gave Wu Xianrong these days made Wu Xianrong feel at ease, knowing that the court did not want to touch him, as long as he was careful, he would You can sit back and relax, and you can take the opportunity to bring down the Pei family and make a fortune. Why not do such a good deal?

It is really a good way to use coercion to be strong and use black to eat black.

Xie Ruzhuo talked to He Xiaoman again, the courtiers outside the hall reported to Du Ruo to see him, He Xiaoman left and asked them to talk about the Imperial College.

"The two students have dealt with it?" Xie Ruzhuo invited Du Ruo to sit down and asked.

As soon as the news about the Song family came out, two articles leaked out of the Imperial College and were widely circulated in the city, satirizing the court's protection of the Song family, covering up the country's thieves, and pointing out that the emperor is fatuous.

Historically, literati and scholars always liked to write some articles to attack and criticize when something happened in the court, but at this juncture, they quickly caught up with each other, and someone must take advantage of it.

Both Xie Ruzhuo and Du Ruo were worried that these inexperienced students would be used by others, but they didn't expect that someone would reach out here. Du Ruo borrowed a few people from Jin Yiwei to check in the Imperial College, and soon found two students Through the small door at the back, he communicated with people outside and received money.

The Imperial College has traditionally allowed one day off in half a month. Not long ago, Du Ruo’s Shangzuo was changed to one day off for ten days. At other times, he had to stay in the Imperial College and was not allowed to leave at will. However, if the family lives nearby, family members would occasionally hand something in through the small door. Well, Du Ruo didn't care too much, but gave people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although the quality of the students accepted by the Guozijian is much better than that of the first emperor, they are not all reassuring. There are many dandies among them, and because of their family background, the students in the Imperial College who want to take shortcuts will also try to curry favor with them.

When the late emperor was there, this group of people made the Guozijian a mess, and a good place to study became cliques, and no one dared to control the officials of the Guozijian, so naturally it was not as good as every year.If Du Ruo treats all students equally, and if the students in the shadow prison make mistakes, they will be punished accordingly, and the other students will have the confidence. They will stab each other.

The ones who received the money this time were two year-old tribute students. They were originally good students from poor families who were dedicated to learning, but they had no choice but to go the wrong way.The two shadow supervisors wanted to meddle by themselves, but the family kept an eye out and instructed them to let the two younger brothers do it. After handing over the money, they promised some benefits that seemed real and fake, and threatened them again. I am willing to sacrifice my life.

Du Ruo didn't show mercy after finding out, took the two of them to Shengjian hall, beat each of them twenty times with bamboo sticks, punished them as servants, and never could be officials. Du Ruo also posted this matter in various places in the Guozijian, warning others not to make small moves under his nose, just study hard here, don't try to get involved in the messy things outside, take shortcuts Dream too.

"The two year-old tributes were punished as official servants. They will no longer be officials in this life, but because their family is poor, the minister asked them to stay in the Guozijian as officials, and sent some money to their family." Du Ruo has written the matter as "The other two people, the Imperial College can't keep them anymore, so I let them go home."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded: "Very well done, we need to intimidate these people in this way, don't think that the Imperial College is a good place to intervene."

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in the Imperial College for too long, so I can only try my best to correct the customs and rules at the beginning, so that future generations will save effort." Du Ruo said, "I see that the Lezhou Imperial College is doing well now. When we return to Pingdu, the Guozijian should be re-established in Pingdu, but I hope that the Guozijian in Lezhou can be preserved, just like Taizu and Taizong, with a southern prison and a northern prison."

Xie Ruzhuo agreed: "I must reopen the Imperial College to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to teaching and educating people, and intends to prosper the official school. In the future, Pingdu will be re-established as the capital city. Naturally, the Imperial College will be reopened, but the one in Lezhou must be retained to absorb more. Many students."

"I have one more thing I want to discuss with Your Majesty." Du Ruo took out another copybook and handed it to Xie Ruzhuo, "Nowadays, the students spend too much time studying in the Imperial College. In fact, there is no need to read poetry books like this. For a long time, many people read dead books after they arrived, and most of the supervisors who were trained only knew the classics in the books, but did not know how to apply them. After studying the Four Books, one and a half years later, one and a half years later, one will enter the Xiudao Hall and Chengxin Hall in Zhengyi Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Guangye Hall. After another year and a half, those who are proficient in both classics and history, and excellent in arts and sciences will be admitted to the Straightforward Hall. At least three years have passed, and after that, at least one more year of study is required to be considered academically successful, and you can leave the Imperial College.”*

"These four or five years are the most energetic years for many people, and they shouldn't be wasting all of them studying dead books in the Imperial College. They should go to the yamen in Dayu to see the people's livelihood and farming in Dayu. You have to study and do things, so that those selected from the Imperial Academy are those who can really do practical things. So I was thinking, maybe after entering the Xiudao Hall and the Chengxin Hall, the Imperial Academy can select a group of students to go to the Sixth Division, the Imperial Academy, and other places Go to the yamen to exercise, do some chores, learn more and read more. These students are very likely to be able to directly pass the examination of the Imperial College and enter the court as an official without taking the imperial examination. It is very important to know what it means to do practical things in advance. Read, but leave the book to read."

Xie Ruzhuo glanced at the content of the memorandum, and said: "I also support Mr.'s idea. What Dayu lacks most is a civil servant like Mr. who is willing to do everything and do more practical things. The top students of the Imperial College will be the pillars of the country in the future. It’s true that you can’t just read dead books, you have to have a higher vision. You should be able to go to various yamen to exercise while studying in the Xiudao Hall and Chengxin Hall for a year and a half, and there are also monthly assessments and year-end exams. As for the overall The time can be shortened by a year or a half according to Mr.

Du Ruo knew that Xie Ruzhuo would agree, but he was very grateful when he really heard Xie Ruzhuo say this. For an ambitious person to meet such a monarch, who can not sigh that this life is enough. He thanked Xie Ruzhuo and thought of Pei Yuankai , said: "This time, Pei Yuankai and the cabinet have colluded and got involved. I think His Majesty wants to attack the Pei family?"

"To tell the truth, sir, I can't wait any longer." Xie Ru thought about grinding his back molars, his eyes were full of viciousness, "I want to start as soon as possible, the Pei family will definitely not stay."

"Does Your Majesty have any ideas?"

"Will the Pei family have more troubles?" Xie Ruzhuo sneered, "It's just that the court has been pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't investigate. It really needs to be investigated. Everything is a crime of copying and beheading." He tapped with his fingertips Table case, recalling the trajectory of the previous life, "Don't worry, sir, we just need to wait patiently for a few months, and we will not worry about not being able to catch the handle by then."

The author has something to say: *For the introduction of the learning process of Guozijian, please refer to the introduction to the Ming Dynasty Guozijian above. I mainly read an article on Sohu’s website "Ming and Qing Guozijian". The information is written! ! !

Song Qingge: What a damn pit.

Xiao Xie: No way, we are poor/withered

Zabusu: I'm tired of saying the word "repay the money"
