Chen Duanchang, as the censor Zhongcheng, saw his hesitation and Liu Bi gave a cold voice.
"Everyone is afraid to move forward. Isn't it just a decoration?"
Since the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Department, officials have nothing to do, and they are not just decorations.
"When the censor heard about the report, it is his duty to admonish the emperor. Your Majesty wants to send 10,000 soldiers out to reinforce Xixia. How can he be trying to catch the wind? Mr. Chen will just report the report, and we will provide backup."
Wu Jing said softly, his eyes cold and firm, with a trace of unwillingness.
Speaking of which, Wu Jing was also one of the frustrated ones. Among the "ministers who followed the dragon" at that time, Zhen Dexiu was the ruling minister, Xu Xuanjin was the minister of Dali Temple, and Chen Duanchang became the censor Zhongcheng.
Although Wei Liaoweng was not promoted, he followed Zhao Hong all day long and was still the vice-principal of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. A step up was just around the corner.
He is the only one who is still the governor of Lin'an. Not to mention the minister in power, he does not even have the title of bachelor.
"Despite this, Your Majesty asked the soldiers to reinforce Xixia in the form of a "volunteer army". Whether they win or lose has nothing to do with us, the Song Dynasty. This is the best policy."
Thinking of the name "Volunteer Army", Ge Hong expressed his appreciation.
Only a brain like the emperor can come up with such a solution.
Everything that happened in Sichuan was reported to the court in detail, and all the ministers knew it clearly.
"Volunteer army? It's just a cover-up. Once Xixia is destroyed, defeated and captured, the Tatars will definitely know about it, and it will definitely cause an uproar. By then, it will be a national war, and it will be difficult to escape."
"That's right! The Tatar soldiers are strong and powerful. If you avoid them, why bother to get burned? Your Majesty is young and energetic, but you are too reckless! This is not the time to show off!"
Liu Bi and Ge Hong spoke one after another, both of them opposed the rescue of Xixia.
"Everyone, please be cautious and don't be impatient. After all, the army has not gone north yet, so it is too early to say this. Besides, Song and Xia are separated by the Golden Realm. Even if Your Majesty wants to rescue Xixia, it may not be easy to find a way."
Chen Duanchang shook his head, still hesitant.
Nowadays, the emperor has repeatedly issued orders, and is not allowed to make false accusations or spread rumors. If you go to make suggestions to the emperor without any evidence, you may bring humiliation to yourself, or you may get into trouble.
When the emperor went to court for the first time, he stood on the side of the officials, which made the emperor reprimand him and alienate him. It’s better to keep things under wraps less often.
"It's not easy to borrow the road. As long as the Song Dynasty sends troops to reinforce it, the Jin people will definitely borrow the road. To protect Xixia is to protect the flank of the Jin Kingdom. The Jin people are not fools, why not do it?"
Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh again and asked.
"Everyone, even if His Majesty sends troops to reinforce Xixia, what can we do? Your Majesty compares himself to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, with the Emperor's Sword hanging on his waist. He has always spoken eloquently and made arbitrary decisions. The few ministers in power are all just yes-men. Under the emperor's decree, , they just did it!"
Among other things, the emperor asked Gao Dingzi to implement the New Deal on Liangzhe Road, but the ruling ministers didn't even dare to fart.
"When the New Deal was implemented on Jiangnan East Road, the heads of the scholar-bureaucrats were rolling, and they were silent. Your Majesty is stubborn and willful, but none of the scholar-bureaucrats in the court dared to disobey their ears with his loyal words. With traitors and sycophants in power, our dynasty is in danger!"
Liu Bi, the Minister of Household Affairs, continued what Wu Jing said.
The emperor's brutal killing of scholar-bureaucrats and violation of ancestral family law had aroused public indignation among officials.
"What you said, Minister Liu, is wrong! If your Majesty is really determined to use troops against the Tatars, I will speak out and tell you, and I will never stand idly by!"
Chen Duanchang came up with arrogance and said firmly.
"Ms. Chen, if you want to give me advice, count me in!"
Wu Jing was not willing to lag behind and kept up.
If the emperor is pressing hard, will they still survive?
"Xiangong Wu, it's a deal!"
"Never break your promise!"
Wu Jing and Chen Duanchang looked at each other and smiled heroically at each other.
"The old thief Shi Miyuan controls the government, and people like Xuan Zhen and Xue Ji help him do evil. When the emperor ascends the throne, these grassroots are still so proud and can call the wind and rain. It's really unacceptable!"
The words of Liu Bi, the Minister of Household Affairs, were directed at several ministers in power at that time.
"Not only Xuan Zhen and Xue Ji, but also Zhen Gong, the leader of the Qing Dynasty in our dynasty, has become the leader of the Qing Dynasty as the emperor's master. Now he has followed the same pace and lost his fighting spirit. You think, if Zhen Gong becomes the prime minister, will His Majesty also follow the good deeds? No. He does so many deviant things.”
Tang Lin, the censor, followed up with an angry sentence.
Tang Lin and Liu Bi had an irreconcilable relationship. They were both honest men. When it came to the two remnants of Shi Miyuan, they were both indignant.
Heresy!
Tang Lin's words touched the hearts of all the ministers.
Women can go to school, practice culture and promote martial arts, which all violates the ancestral family law. Isn't this deviant enough?
"Shilang Liu and the Yushi of the Tang Dynasty made sense. Under the New Deal, officials and local eunuchs were in panic. Jinling Martial Arts Hall recruited female students, the scholar-bureaucrats sentenced them to death, and martial artists were rampant. Now His Majesty openly takes the Princess of Xixia as his concubine, provoking The troops are rising. Xue Ji Xuanzhen, as prime minister and privy envoy, did not persuade the king, but instead flattered and flattered him. What is he but a traitor?"
Wu Jing's face turned pale and he put down the tea cup.
Jinling Martial Arts Academy, Song Dynasty Naval Academy, Anti-Corruption Department, along with these new yamen emerged a new group of upstarts in the imperial court, all of whom were in the emperor's heart and were very popular.
And they, the old ministers, seem to have been forgotten.
"In the final analysis, if we go back to the source, we still need to clear the emperor's side and let consolidate ministers like Zhen Gong, Chen Gong, and Wu Gong be in charge of the center. Then His Majesty will not be deceived by treacherous ministers, and the Song Dynasty can be peaceful and peaceful for the country and the people."
Liu Bi, the minister of household affairs, could not help but express his feelings.
"I have absolutely no intention of doing this. As long as your Majesty can appoint talented people, obey your advice and do not act recklessly, this will be the blessing of the Song Dynasty."
Wu Jing was already moved, but refused again and again.
"Listen to both, and you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one, you will be dark. In ancient times, emperors must be careful to correct chaos and start a business, adopt tactful suggestions, and follow loyal and wise words. Your Majesty has been on the throne for only a year, and chaos has already abounded. As the chief of the Yushitai, I It is your duty to correct hundreds of officials and directly remonstrate with the emperor."
Everyone was eloquent, and after some provocation, Chen Duanchang immediately returned to his usual upright and dignified state.
"Everyone, let's do our best."
The New Deal, anti-corruption, and deviance are all sources of trouble.
Ge Hong, the Minister of Punishment, picked up the tea cup with a smile.
"Everyone, let's do our best!"
"Do your best!"
Everyone held up their teacups and congratulated each other in the distance.
When the king is powerful, he cultivates culture and promotes martial arts. The Great Song Dynasty should not be like this. Using culture to control military affairs, using Confucianism to establish a country, and kings and scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world together are the foundation of a dynasty.
"We hear orioles in the willows, hundreds of flowers bloom, it's a beautiful spring day, but there are no red sleeves to add fragrance, and poems and wine glasses are slow. It's really boring!"
Liu Bi was so drunk that he couldn't help but clapped his legs and sighed.
In the past, those official prostitutes were always around, but now they are all sneaking around, pushing and shoving, is it really unreasonable?
After abolishing the status of official prostitutes, shouldn't they throw themselves into the arms of the scholar-bureaucrats and please them?
"Shilang Liu, on such a beautiful day, with fine wine in gold bottles and delicacies on jade plates, how could it be possible without a beautiful woman accompanying you?"
Wu Jingzhi was proud and stood up with a smile.
"Everyone, let's go to the lake, play string and bamboo instruments, go boating, drink, and sing."
His dignified envoys to the west of Zhejiang Province, the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, and those lowly official prostitutes were not always at his beck and call.
Ge Hong forced out a smile and was secretly surprised.
Liangzhe Road implemented the New Deal and abolished the status of official and prostitutes. Wu Jing, the dignified governor of Lin'an, openly resisted the New Deal and bullied his subordinates, which would lead to trouble sooner or later.
In the implementation of the New Deal, the emperor was ruthless and cruel, and could not get rid of the sand in his eyes.
It seems that the best strategy is to "escape" and stay out of the matter.
