Shilin Qingliu became a derogatory term on the Internet in the 21st century. However, in the Song Dynasty, and even the later Ming and Qing dynasties, Shilin and Qingliu were both respected by others. Especially in the Song Dynasty where civil servants controlled politics, the power of Qingliu Material Discussion should not be underestimated!
Even against the swords, bows and horses of the Jin soldiers, Qingliu's material discussion is not completely useless... Qingliu's words can certainly not drive back the Jin soldiers, but they can incite the people to coerce the court and officials. Especially people in capital-level metropolises such as Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Daming Prefecture in Beijing, and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing are more likely to be incited by Qingliu because they are relatively well-educated and care about current affairs.
In the original history, Zhao Ji escaped from the throne, and Zhao Huan was unable to escape. The public opinion instigated by Qingliu was exerting its power... After all, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial guards of Kaifeng Prefecture were almost the same group of people. ! The Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty gave priority to recruiting children from the camp, and the Forbidden Army allowed family members to accompany the camp. Therefore, a class of Kaifeng soldiers was formed who served as soldiers from generation to generation and served in the army for generations.
Once the citizens of Kaifeng were incited by Qingliu, they would influence the Kaifeng Forbidden Army through the military class... Therefore, Qingliu had the ability to influence the decision-making of the Song Dynasty court during the chaos in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
In the original first year of Jingkang, this ability first prevented Zhao Huan from escaping, and helped the Kaifeng garrison led by Li Gang to block the first wave of the gold thieves' offensive.
Later, it was this ability that forced Zhao Huan's court to tear up the peace treaty after the Jin soldiers retreated, refuse to cede the three towns, and launch two Taiyuan siege relief battles, successfully ending the Kaifeng court's only victory, regardless of the enemy's strength. Some military forces...
But now, Zhao Kai used the Donghua Gate Incident to prevent Zhao Ji from escaping, and also frustrated the inner Zen that Kaifeng Qingliu wanted to promote.
Therefore, the civil servants and scholars in Kaifeng Mansion did not have a good impression of Zhao Kai. But they can't attack Zhao Kai with words for the time being - firstly, because there is no reason. The "Donghua Gate Incident" is already a big sin for scholars, but it is not enough to incite the people of Kaifeng, especially in the When Zhao Kai took the initiative to ask for orders to go north to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
The second is because Zhao Kai's army hasn't left yet! Although Zhao Kai only has an army of more than 2,000 people in total, it is enough to make the Qingliu people in Kaifeng Mansion dare not act rashly. After all, swords have no eyes, and it hurts to stab people...and Zhao Kai will leave soon, Why not wait until he's gone before firing?
As for the cannon, of course you have to fire it from a distance!
The third reason is that the golden thief is coming and the New Year is approaching. So the most influential imperial students among the Shilin Qingliu in Kaifeng have gone home to celebrate the New Year... Of course, not all of them have gone home. They live on the east and west roads. Most of the Tai students near the route are still in Kaifeng Mansion.
In addition, there were several popular Taixue leaders who did not choose to leave at this moment when the Jin soldiers were approaching.
Before the end of the New Year, in the middle of the night, among the empty Imperial College, there were still a few houses with lights on.
In one of the houses, a scholar in his late forties was guarding a red clay stove used for making soup. He sat leisurely with his legs crossed, fiddling with the stew in the earthen pot on the stove. Pot of mutton, and a while later, by the dim candlelight, I read an article I had just written in my hand.
The middle-aged man who was cooking mutton in Taixue's house was named Chen Dong, whose courtesy name was Shaoyang. He was from Danyang, Zhenjiang. Seeing that he is still a student at such an old age, it can be seen that his level of Confucianism is not very high, and it is probably difficult for him to go to high school in this life.
But among the current Taixue, Danyang Chen Dong is a famous figure! In the early years, when Cai Jing and Wang Fu were in power, he was not afraid of the other party's power and dared to publicly express his objections. He also tried several times to provoke Prince Fu Que to write a letter to impeach the traitor. But before he could get enough people to submit a letter, the two traitors had already stepped down...
However, Chen Dong did not lose heart, but quickly found a new subject, which was to impeach the Hebei army marshal, control the Hebei armies, the prefectures and counties, the pacification departments and the transfer envoys, the king of Yun Zhao Kai lost his army and humiliated the country, Those who betray their country by paying money and support their own troops!
There are three major sins in total, and one of them is suitable for Zhao Kai!
If King Yun Zhao Kai is defeated in Hebei, then the crime of losing an army and humiliating the country will not go away! If King Yun Zhao Kai betrays his country and begs for mercy and succeeds, he will be guilty of betraying his country by accepting money! If Zhao Kai is really the Song Dynasty version of Li Shimin and beats away the gold thief, he will commit a serious crime by supporting his troops.
In short, no matter what Zhao Kai did in Hebei, it was an unforgivable crime!
Because the three major crimes are responsible for different directions, Chen Dong is preparing three bullets. Now he has just drafted the first one, which is to impeach Zhao Kai for losing his master and humiliating the country. He planned to finish the remaining two copies during the New Year. After the New Year, when the news of Zhao Kai's defeat, betrayal or victory comes back, he can contact the Tai students as soon as possible to submit a letter to Fu Que.
Chen Dong, who was holding the article he had written and considering it word by word, suddenly put down the draft of the bullet, listened carefully, and heard footsteps and voices. He paused, made a distinction, and suddenly smiled and said, "Is it Deng Zhuangzhu? But you can smell the aroma of mutton? Come in quickly."
Two hearty laughs with different voices came from outside the door. Then he saw the door being pushed open, and two men wearing moon-white blouses and scholar's scarves walked in. It was snowing outside, and although the two of them were holding umbrellas, there were still a lot of snowflakes on their clothes, and their faces were red from the cold.
Chen Dong glanced at the two people. One of them was a fair-faced scholar who was quite upright. He was thirty-six or seventeen years old. Like Chen Dong, he was an "old lady student" named Deng Su, who was from Shaxian County, Fujian Province. I saw him holding a food box in his hand. He came to Chen Dong with a smile, placed the food box on a small table, and then pulled up a chair to sit on it.
The other person is a short and fat man with small eyes, a dark face, a big nose, and is about 27 or 28 years old. He was a former Taipei student who had been awarded Jinshi as early as the eighth year of Zhenghe's reign. He was in the same class as King Yun Zhao Kai. His name is Zhang Jun, and he once served as chief clerk under Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang.
Chen Dong laughed straight away: "Zhang Deyuan, you are such a rare guest... If you didn't go to the camp with Mr. Liang Xi (Li Gang), how could you come to my humble house to eat mutton in your spare time?"
Zhang Jun grinned widely: "Shaoyang, Zhuanzhu and I are not as leisurely as you are. The golden thieves are about to attack the city, and they are still lying high in the Imperial Academy, writing articles or poems all day long. I don't know what you are doing. You can be so calm! Both of us and Hu Mingzhong are working very hard. We have just been sent by Mr. Liang Xi to go to Cangzhou to collect military rations. Hu Zhongming has already left, and we will set off tomorrow. "
Chen Dong was stunned, "Going to Cangzhou to raise food? Cangzhou is the front line against gold!"
Deng Su smiled and said: "Cangzhou is close to the sea, so grain can be transported by sea. If the water transportation is interrupted, the grain from the Southeast Sixth Road can only go to Cangzhou by sea, and then take the Fuyang River and Yongji Canal to Daming, and then be transported to Tokyo. It’s Kaifeng Mansion.”
"Yeah?"
"Yes!" Deng Su looked at Chen Dong, "Brother Shaoyang, you are just a scholar and can't help much in Kaifeng Mansion. Are you willing to go to Hebei with us?"
"Are we going to Hebei together?" Chen Dong looked at Deng Su and then at Zhang Jun, seeming to understand something, "Zhu Zhu, Deyuan, tell the truth, did Mr. Liang Xi tell us something?" Will Hebei handle it for him?"
Deng Su and Zhang Jun looked at each other and laughed. Deng Su said: "As expected, I can't hide it from Brother Shaoyang. I'm going to Hebei just to contact Shilin and prevent King Yun from accepting money to betray the country! Brother Shaoyang dares to leave. This time?"
Chen Dong laughed: "How dare you not!"
