Turning his eyes to the tall and powerful "black and hard" body, Zhao Hong smiled slightly.
"Since Chang Chai has returned, he has no food to eat. We, the monarch and his ministers, meet again."
Such an "alternative" person who wants to stand out in an unconventional way can use it to buy his bones with a lot of money.
"Your Majesty, Wang Wen, comes to see you!"
Wang Wen quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
He was the one who wanted to restore the power of the prime minister in terms of policy, but he was almost "deposed" directly by the ruling minister Jin Deokxiu. It was also his part of "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar", which attracted Zhao Hong's attention.
With this body, he can play in the NBA.
"Tall and mighty, a dignified Song Dynasty man, don't be submissive, keep your head high and your chest high!"
Facing the emperor, Wang Wen was trembling with fear, his tall body was respectful, and he completely lost the calmness he had just now.
"However, it is the prime minister's responsibility to support justice, and it is the emperor's business to preside over justice. If the emperor invades the power of the prime minister, justice has been achieved. What you mean is that Shi Miyuan led the scholar-bureaucrats to be in power, and the emperor was locked up within the palace wall. Is it "just" in the world to rule from the top and sit back and watch the government deteriorate?"
Zhao Hong looked calm and asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, I just want to be new and different, so that Your Majesty will remember the humble ministers! Cao Youwen and Yu Jie of the Jiangwu Hall have soared into the sky. I also want to serve the country, and Jane is in the emperor's heart. I have made this decision, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Wang Wen knelt down, put his head on the ground, and told the truth.
"I'll go! You kid is playing with me!"
Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile and blurted out.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Wang Wen was shocked and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Get up, I am not a tyrant. You are kind enough, I will remember you!"
Zhao Hong laughed loudly, stepped forward in person, helped Wang Wen up, and said warmly:
"There was Han Guanzhou before him, and Shi Miyuan behind him. The powerful ministers were in power, and the emperor was like a puppet. Especially Shi Miyuan, who used edicts to kill important officials in the court, and then deposed the prince. He was daring and crazy. The reason for the decline of the Song Dynasty was that The treacherous ministers are in power and the government is not upright. The Song Dynasty needs a king and a leader to revive the Song Dynasty. Wang Wen, what do you think? We, the monarchs and ministers, should open their hearts and speak freely."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right! This is what I want to say!"
Wang Wen smiled awkwardly and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, I am rebellious. In ancient times, I recommended myself, but now Wang Wen has nothing to eat. I was originally a martial artist, but I accidentally passed the exam. There are countless people in the world, most of whom are unknown. I want to follow your Majesty, make great achievements, and be famous forever. . I made this decision just to keep your majesty in mind. Please forgive me!"
"You guy, I was so scared that my crotch almost split!"
Zhao Hong was stunned and made a joke about Wang Wen.
"I went to the people, and many people said that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty was only the prosperity of the scholar-bureaucrats, and had nothing to do with the people. The king and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. The king was indifferent to each other, and the imperial power fell aside. The emperor was imprisoned in the palace and became a lonely man. The people It is difficult to endure hunger and even have a full meal, but the scholar-bureaucrats have three wives and four concubines, and they are extravagant. In addition, land annexation is everywhere, corruption is common, corrupt officials exploit the people, but no one punishes them..."
Zhao Hong's words frightened all the officials and "disciples of the emperor". They all knelt down and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
The emperor's words were heartbreaking, but what he said seemed to be indisputable facts.
"Everyone, get up. Let me be honest. What I want is a truly prosperous country and a strong people, not a falsely prosperous Song Dynasty. Some people say that being an official for thousands of miles is just to get promoted and make a fortune. Please don't think like this. Gentleman To cultivate one's moral integrity and manage one's family, to govern a country and bring peace to the world, one must integrate one's own future with the destiny of the country. This is the right way."
"I will obey His Majesty's teachings!"
Everyone said together, and then they all stood up.
Zhao Hong waited for everyone to get up, and then continued to ask:
"Does any of you know why this Qionglin Banquet is held in Yujin Garden?"
The Qionglin Banquet was a banquet held by the imperial court for new scholars after the imperial examination. It started in the early Song Dynasty to show the emperor's great favor. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin stipulated that after the palace examination, the emperor would announce the ceremony of becoming a Jinshi and give a banquet to celebrate. Since the banquets were all held in Qionglin Garden, they were named Qionglin Banquets. Later generations imitated the banquets and became customized.
But no one thought that this year's "Qionglin Banquet" would be held in Yujin Garden, the royal riding and shooting place.
"Could it be that your majesty wants to use Yujin Garden to tell me and other scholars that your majesty wants to restore the martial arts style of the Song Dynasty?"
Hong Tianxi reacted quickly and asked loudly.
Zhao Hong nodded and asked again.
"Who can tell me, what are the six arts of a gentleman? What is archery? What is chariot?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, "Zhou Li Bao Shi" said: "To raise a country's sons with Taoism is to teach six skills: the first is the Five Rites, the second is the Six Music, the third is the Five Shooting, the fourth is the Five Controls, the fifth is the Six Books, and the Sixth Said the number of nine. The six arts of a gentleman refer to etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy. There are five archery skills: Bai Ya, Shen Lian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Chi, and Jing Yi. Yu is the Five Yu, that is, the skills of driving, including: singing and luan, chasing water song, crossing the king's table, dancing to cross the road, and chasing birds to the left. "
It's the unconventional "black and tough" Wang Wen again, with his face glowing and talking eloquently.
"That's right. Wang Wen, can you ride and shoot?"
Zhao Hong asked loudly.
This guy is so majestic, it would be a shame if he couldn't dance with a spear or a stick, and the Song Dynasty would be really hopeless!
"Your Majesty, I can ride and shoot, I can draw three stones with my foot bow, I am proficient in swords, guns and sticks, and I have a rough grasp of driving."
Wang Wen replied loudly, with a proud look on his face.
"Wang Wen, I didn't expect that you are both civil and military. If you can serve the country and the people and benefit the people, you should be a role model for our court."
Zhao Hong looked at Wang Wen and nodded appreciatively.
The place was full of Jinshi, more than 300 people. Fortunately, there was one who was capable of both literary and military skills. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
But with this guy's build, it would be a pity not to go to the Jinling Martial Arts Hall.
"Tokyo City also has Yujin Garden, but only Taizu Taizong went there. Later, no one cared about it. Due to the shame of Jingkang, the Song Dynasty lost half of its country, and Yujin Garden became the back garden of the Jin people. The imperial court moved south, and Emperor Gaozong rebuilt Yujin Garden. The garden was visited by Xiaozong in his early years, but later it became neglected and became a hiding place for Shi Miyuan to torture and kill important officials of the court. Even kings don’t pay attention to riding and shooting, let alone their ministers."
After Zhao Hong finished speaking loudly, he asked loudly to all the scholars:
"Fellow Jinshi, how many of you can ride a horse and shoot arrows? How many of you like to read military books and dance with guns and sticks?"
All the scholars looked at each other, and only a dozen or so people could claim it.
It has always been a matter of examination for Jinshi in martial arts and Jinshi in literature. The emperor's tone and expression made him look down on undergraduate Jinshi. It is said that the emperor valued military affairs over literature, and now it seems that this is indeed true.
"Your Majesty, I can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and I am as strong as an ox. Let me go to the frontier and die in the national disaster!"
Wang Wen spoke impassionedly and loudly.
If he wasn't worried about being unbecoming of a gentleman, he would have wanted to take off his clothes, reveal his six-pack abs, and show off his muscles.
"Everyone, you have seen it. The six arts of a gentleman have existed since ancient times. I would like to put it bluntly, Confucian scholars can govern a country with literature, and they can stabilize a country with martial arts. Many of you are incapable of restraining a chicken, and you are not considered a true scholar, let alone a scholar. people."
Zhao Hong looked at Wang Wen and said warmly:
"Wang Wen, you are good. I will remember you. However, since you are willing to go to the frontier fortress, you should go to the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall for an internship. The country is in dire need, and there will be a war on the frontier fortress soon. Wen Tao and Wu Lu , running the country requires talents with both civil and military skills, and there will be many opportunities to serve the country in the future!"
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those warriors who walked with swords, mounted their horses to charge into battle, and dismounted their horses to rule the country and bring peace to the people were fascinating, but unfortunately they disappeared in a sudden surprise.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
After Wang Wen finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and quickly stepped aside.
"Your Majesty's teachings, I will take them to heart!"
The other scholars bowed together and saluted.
Seeing Wang Wen's beaming look, the other "disciples of the Emperor" were secretly envious, and even Ma Guangzu and Li Angying were speechless.
This kid is unconventional, but he has achieved his long-cherished wish and "Jane is in the Emperor's heart".
"Everyone, you are all officials of the imperial court. You must serve as an official for one term and benefit your country on behalf of the emperor. Before taking up your post at the local level, you must intern in the six ministries and various offices for half a year to accumulate experience."
Zhao Hong spoke solemnly to all the scholars and spoke sincerely.
"I have decreed that there will be no more "catching a son-in-law under the ranking list", no more "Donghuamen roll call" and horse riding parades. You are officials of the imperial court, not a privileged class. Don't even think about officials protecting each other and collusion between officials and businessmen. . When selecting scholars through the imperial examination, what the country wants are talents who can govern the country and ensure its security, not idiots who talk about harming the country and drink and make money. Those who are dedicated to state affairs and serving the country and the people will naturally be let down by the court. But if they use their power for personal gain, fame and reputation, or even fish and meat People should be dealt with according to their own national laws!"
When Jinshi joins the officialdom, a unique bureaucracy will soon be formed, with money, power and sex. If we don't strike early and if there is no legal suppression, Hu Ju'an Gongxing will definitely appear in endlessly.
"I will remember His Majesty's teachings!"
Once again, all the scholars listened solemnly to the order. Many people were awestruck, and many were full of complaints, but they were all respectful and did not dare to show it on their faces.
The emperor's move was really cruel. If you want to find a father-in-law who is rich, powerful, or both powerful and powerful, you may have to wait a while longer.
However, having said that, the emperor rules the country by law, implements the New Deal, and fights corruption. The good life they think is good may not be easy.
The Qionglin Banquet began, the dishes were served in a stream, and the banquet began to have a lot of fun.
However, in the eyes of the Jinshi, the banquet seemed much simpler. Without the singing, dancing and orchestra, the Qionglin Banquet became the "Yujin Banquet", which seemed to have changed its taste.
Zhao Hong was drinking with the Jinshi, and he was also looking at these "proud men of heaven" with respectful expressions, and he understood in his heart.
Qia was a young boy who was a classmate. He was angry at book business and scolded Fang Qiu. Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the excrement of thousands of households...
It's not that easy!
I hope that there will be more talents who work for the country and fewer bureaucrats who only seek promotion and wealth. This is the progress of the times.
