After Song Mu came out of Wenjian Pavilion, he also sighed silently.
Song Mu had already made plans for today's exchange, but he didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns.
Sure enough, some things can no longer be taken for granted as before.
Of course, fortunately, there is still some clue about this matter now. If I can grasp it, I may be able to bring a different scene to Wen Dynasty in the future.
As for the subject matter here, it really needs to be carefully screened.
Otherwise, as Mr. Yan said, it would become a reminder, and he would be a sinner.
Thinking like this, Song Mu looked at the book "People's Affairs" in his hand again.
Today I said this without any selfish motives, but there were too many ordinary faces flashing in my mind.
Heroes should not just be those men of letters who are fierce and powerful and whose poems are world-famous.
Every bloody commoner is an indispensable force for the Wen Dynasty.
The billions of people in the vast Shenzhou can only spread in this mysterious world if they are twisted into a rope.
Song Mu immediately made up his mind and hurried to the Hanlin Academy, planning to use his spare time to search for some historical materials and make some reserves for this article.
But in the Nuange of the Imperial City, there is a bit of gloom and gloom here today.
All the ministers had just had a heated debate, and now they were all sitting upright with their eyes downcast, not daring to speak.
Li Ao, who was sitting on the main seat, had just shouted angrily, shocking the ministers so that they dared not speak. At that moment, Li Ao was walking around in the warm pavilion. Finally, he sighed deeply and glanced at every minister in front of him. The sad look on his face could not be swept away for a while.
"My dear friends, have you thought about it?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials looked at each other in confusion, and several ministers even had bitter expressions on their faces.
This time the war in the three frontiers broke out, and the offensive was extremely fierce. The border troops in the three frontiers were already locked in a bitter battle, but there was no urgent news yet.
However, the demon's huge momentum seemed not to be a bluff. It seemed that he was really going to give the current Wen Dynasty a head-on blow.
Li Ao has been a little worried about this matter in the past few days. He has discussed it many times with the ministers, but he can't come to a specific conclusion.
There was even a surprising suggestion just now. An official from the Yushitai suggested handing over the article and then slowly drawing on it.
Li Ao was immediately furious and ordered someone to drag him out and demote him several levels.
When everyone saw this, they naturally understood His Majesty's current thoughts.
It is absolutely impossible to hand over the article, but the current war is going to such an extent.
The Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household looked sad.
This kind of war consumes too much money, food, and soldiers. If we really fully face the enemy, Wen Dynasty may not be able to hold it for long.
This time, no one was willing to speak. Li Ao was really impatient, so he simply spoke.
"Then I will put the final say on this matter. Eastern Xinjiang will take a step back and mobilize the great scholars to raid the northwest demon country and use the power of thunder to survive."
All the officials immediately raised their heads, and their eyes immediately turned from Li Ao to Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Tan. Both of them were sitting upright and did not speak at this time.
This conclusion was exactly the method proposed by Tan Xiang during their argument just now.
As for Prime Minister Feng, his method was basically the same, but slightly gentler. He just put pressure on several great scholars and forced the other party to negotiate. From this, it seems that His Majesty is more inclined to Prime Minister Tan's proposal.
There were a lot of calculations in everyone's mind, but when Li Ao was about to give the order, Prime Minister Feng came out, cupped his hands, and said.
"Your Majesty, after this incident, Your Majesty must make plans."
"So the war in the northwest demon country will inevitably resume, and it is still unclear where it will go after that. Maybe the future will be chaos, and the eastern border..."
"There is no need to say anything, Prime Minister Feng. I have already made a decision on this matter. This battle is inevitable. As long as the northwest demon country is honest, I will have a way to calm this situation."
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a bit of curiosity, and Prime Minister Feng even took a step forward and asked.
"I wonder what your Majesty can do?"
Li Ao just looked at Prime Minister Feng, then thought for a moment before speaking to everyone.
"If this method is effective after the raid on the northwest demon country, I will explain it to you all."
Everyone was surprised when they heard Li Ao say again.
"It's just that now that the demon has come back, it's not a good thing for Song Zhuangyuan. Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Ao suddenly changed the topic, and everyone was hesitant at the moment, but thinking about what happened this time, the demon used the imperial examination article as an excuse, so naturally he would pay attention to Song Muduo.
His Majesty's concern for Song Mu inevitably caused everyone to speculate a little more.
Guess what is the content of the article written by Song Mu that stirs up the world and shows His mercy?
At that moment, the officials exchanged opinions, and Prime Minister Tan said something.
"Now we must be telling the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty not to leave Chang'an. In addition, we are protecting him from light and darkness so that the demons have no chance to take advantage of them."
Li Ao nodded slightly, but his expression was calm. It was obvious that he had planned such a thing in advance.
No one could say anything new for a while, and at that moment Li Ao waved to everyone and asked them to step back.
"Let's stop here today, but remember with me, after today, Eastern Xinjiang will take priority. If they dare to mess around, they will definitely pay the same price."
Everyone who heard this suddenly had expressions on their faces. They quickly handed over their hands and hurriedly exited from here.
When Li Ao saw everyone leaving, he sighed slightly. Looking at the situation outside the glass window, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his eyes at this moment.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. I actually feel a little panicked by something like this."
Saying this, there was a eunuch reporting outside the Nuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."
Li Ao raised his eyes slightly at this moment, the expression on his face calmed down, he took out a booklet, unfolded it, and spoke to the public.
"Let him in."
As he said this, a figure wearing a purple robe stepped into the Nuan Pavilion. He was a little shorter than Li Ao, but his face was about 70% similar, but his face was a little childish and he looked younger. .
This is the current Prince of the East Palace, Li Dong, who was born in the 16th year of Chongwen and is only thirteen years old now.
"Li Dong meets his father."
Li Dong kowtowed to Li Ao this time. Li Ao was still sitting in the main seat correcting the notes, but he just raised his head and asked.
"Dong'er, isn't there Taifu Qin's lecture on the classics today? Why are you here suddenly?"
Li Dong stood aside respectfully, then raised his head slightly to look at Li Ao, and said softly.
"Back to my father, today the teacher did talk about the classics and meanings with my son, and he talked about the examination papers from various colleges in previous years."
"The teacher particularly admires one of the papers. It was a paper produced by the teacher at the time. The paper on it is exactly the article written by the current Song Dynasty champion."
"It says, 'Ask the canal how clear it is, so that there is a source of living water.' I was very surprised when I read it, but I couldn't figure out the artistic conception."
"That's why I came here to see my father. I hope that in a few days, I can meet with Song Zhuangyuan and discuss the matter."
When Li Ao heard what Li Dong said, he raised his eyebrows and looked up at his prince. Seeing that the other prince was so uninterested in learning, he nodded happily.
"It's such a good idea. You can write a letter to Song Zhuangyuan and invite him to the East Palace on a certain day to talk."
Saying this, Li Ao smiled and said to Li Dong.
"But remember, just discuss this article, don't say anything else."
Li Dong immediately grinned, nodded quickly, and resigned.
Li Ao looked at his son's leaving figure, but his eyes were a little far-reaching at this moment.
This son was hard-won, and he regarded it as a treasure. Although his character was a little timid, he was also upright and respectful.
The only thing he was unable to do was study. Although he was only thirteen years old, he had not yet entered the imperial examination room, and he had not yet obtained any honors.
It's just that the Royal Qi Watching Technique can't see anything special from him, and even now he doesn't know anything about Qi Watching Technique.
The royal family of the Wen Dynasty was no different than the previous dynasties. It could not be established just by the survival of the heirs. This dynasty was full of civil and military power, and the prince must have a transcendent state in order to be able to suppress the officials.
If Li Dong could learn something from Song Mu, he would be worried too much when the time comes.
