"Tell the two Xianggong that they went to Xianggong Wu."
Xie De endured the severe pain in his head, bowed his hands, and tried his best to answer politely.
"How many students are there?" Uncle Xie Fang was still holding the tea cup and drinking tea with his calm attitude.
Even if there are only a few Tai students and their influence is not great, it will be easy to handle.
Xie didn't dare to cover his head and forced the pain to say: "I heard there are more than two hundred."
"What, there are more than two hundred?" Uncle Xie Fang and Xu Qingsou could no longer calm down.
The two put down their teacups and looked at each other, only to see that the other party was shocked.
There are currently two political governors in the Song Dynasty, one is Xu Qingsou and the other is Wu Qian.
Wu Qian was not only a political governor, but also the right prime minister. His status in the court was second only to Uncle Xie Fang.
Although Tai students will not give the request to the official, they can convey it through Wu Qian.
"Germany, things have gotten serious." After hearing this, Xu Qingsou looked anxious and hurriedly spoke to remind him.
Xu Qingsou had to remind Uncle Xie Fang, after all, he knew who this group of imperial students were.
The Imperial Students of the Song Dynasty were a group of very awesome people, with extremely strong fighting power and numerous victories.
First, he dared to fight with Lin'an Prefecture and made the governor lose his official position.
In the second year of Jiading (1209), when Zhao Shigai came to Lin'an Prefecture, he punished two martial arts students who violated the rules during the process of rectifying business.
This was originally a very normal thing, but I didn't expect it to stir up a hornet's nest.
The students of Wushu and Taixue successively submitted ultimatums to strike classes and wrote letters of support, accusing Zhao Shiqi of punishing the students without first reporting the matter to the Wushu School. He was "contempting the school and not having a king and father", and also mentioned his various crimes such as forming a clique. .
In the end, in order to avoid "having grudges against scholars", Song Ningzong compromised with the students and had to dismiss his master as the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture.
Maybe he got off to a bad start, and Cheng Tan and others who later became prefects and governors could not escape this fate.
Unlike Zhao Shiqi, Cheng Tan completely followed the court's prohibitions.
Because the soap-silk short-brimmed umbrellas used by Taixue students at that time were soap-colored, the patrol soldiers believed that they violated the imperial ban and arrested and punished the servants who held umbrellas for the students.
Originally, this was a trivial matter that could be seen as a misunderstanding, but it was considered by Tai students to be an insult to the school, and they even threatened to "put up silk paper" and go on strike. In the end, Song Ningzong was also dismissed from the Prefecture.
Secondly, they are out-and-out militants who are not afraid of power and can even drive the Prime Minister to death.
After Qin Hui's death, his party Tang Si retired from power and continued to compromise and seek peace with the Kingdom of Jin, which caused dissatisfaction among the imperial students.
Seventy-two people including Zhang Guan, a student of the Imperial Academy, submitted a letter, saying that Si Tui, Wang Zhiwang, Yin Zhen and others were treacherous and harmful to the country and had attracted enemies. Please behead them.
Tang Situi's reputation was ruined and he died of grief.
Also during the Jiading period, the Jin army was defeated in its southern invasion. Shi Miyuan, the powerful prime minister, did not take advantage of the victory to regain the lost territory in the Central Plains. Instead, he adopted a passive concession policy and instructed his party member Hu Ju to negotiate with the Jin people, which directly angered the main war faction and the Jin people. Radical patriotic students.
Taixue Hetian gathered more than 270 students and wanted to kill Hu Ju to thank the world.
Third, take filial piety as the way and advise the officials.
In the winter of the tenth month of the fourth year of Shaoxi (1193), 218 people including Wang Anshi, a student from the Imperial College, wrote a letter to Chonghua.
Under the repeated insistence of Taisheng, Guangzong was forced to go to Chonghua Palace to meet Song Xiaozong.
This was a group of imperial students that the prefect of Lin'an, the prime minister, and even the officials did not dare to offend. Why didn't Xu Qingsou panic?
He stepped forward and bowed his hands, and bowed his hands to Uncle Xie Fang: "Germany, we must persuade this group of scholars, otherwise the sky will be broken."
"How to persuade this group of scholars? They are giving the officials a headache?" Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but frowned when he heard that he was going to persuade these lawless students. "Besides, this involves Prime Minister Qin."
"Germany, are we going to let the main war faction gain the upper hand? The Song Dynasty cannot withstand such torture." Xu Qingsou persuaded earnestly.
Hearing Xu Qingsou pressing closer and closer, Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Weng Zhi, there are too many people involved, let me think about it."
"Germany, the peace talks are not about shame, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty. Think about the Liao and Jin countries, although they had the upper hand in name, they were not dragged down by the Song Dynasty in the end." Seeing that Xu Qingsou did not persuade Uncle Xie Fang, Starting from the history of the Song Dynasty and the Liao and Jin Dynasties, he talked about the benefits of the Zhuhe Sect.
It’s not that I don’t know this truth, but I’m facing a group of Tai students with extremely strong combat capabilities.
Uncle Xie Fang smiled bitterly while drinking tea: "We think so, but those students don't think so. They think what we do is to humiliate the country and lose our power."
"On the German side, the Song Dynasty dealt with the Liao and Jin countries, and it was equally easy to sign an agreement with the Hu people." Xu Qingsou was righteous and talked about the benefits of peace.
Uncle Xie Fang nodded, but still smiled bitterly: "Xiang Qin thought so too, didn't he leave a bad reputation?"
"The Prime Minister of Qin is extremely glorious. Not only has he been in power for nineteen years, but he has also been promoted to the rank of minister." Seeing that he could not be persuaded by his righteousness, Xu Qingsou simply used money to seduce Uncle Xie Fang.
When ministers are like Qin Hui, they not only rule until death, but also have overwhelming power. They can almost say the same thing, and they have no more concessions than the officials.
If Uncle Xie Fang is not moved, it must be a lie.
The prime minister did not aim to pursue Qin Hui.
It's just that everything has its own gains and losses. Although Qin Hui was a very popular minister, he still had an infamy and was even called the biggest treacherous minister and traitor in the world by Zhao Ping.
Uncle Xie Fang thought for a while, but he still felt a little frightened: "Let me think about it, although Prime Minister Qin and his faction gave the Song Dynasty peace for a while, what price did they pay? Cutting land, claiming vassalage, and paying tribute. It's difficult to be a human being. , it’s even harder to be a minister.”
Hearing what Uncle Xie Fang said, Xu Qingsou looked at him with some disdain.
Weren't you calm just now, weren't you confident?
Why are you now pushing and blocking?
Xu Qingsou thought this, but he didn't dare to say it.
Although he is a peacemaker, he is essentially just a political governor.
Thinking of this, he was about to leave.
He has fulfilled his obligation. Anyway, the entire Zhuhe faction that Zhao Ping is targeting this time is still dominated by you, the prime minister.
Uncle Xie Fang is actually very troubled by this. It would be okay if it was purely aimed at him alone.
But after all, Zhao Ping has listed Qin Hui as the number one traitor in the world.
If he were asked to defend Qin Hui, wouldn't this make him angry?
Even if he wants to speak for the Lord and the sect, he must consider the consequences of this.
Xu Qingsou is old and hot, so he doesn't know what Uncle Xie Fang is thinking.
The purpose of his coming was to force Uncle Xie Fang to take action.
Since you are the prime minister, you are also the leader of the Lord Harmony Sect.
If it wasn't you who took action, could it be that the deputy prime minister, Lao Cheng, took action?
"De Fang, I'll take my leave." Thinking of this, Xu Qingsou waved his sleeves and stood up from his seat.
At this time, the concierge Xie De suddenly barged in again.
This time I was smarter. When I saw Xu Qingsou coming, I hurriedly got out of the way.
He bowed his hands to Uncle Xie Fang and said out of breath, "I'm going to tell you, sir, that some of the imperial students have gone to the Qin Mansion."
Hearing this, Xu Qingsou also stopped. Although he did not turn around, his ears were listening.
"Qin Mansion, what are these imperial students doing in the Qin Mansion?" Uncle Xie Fang did not expect that the imperial students would go to the Qin Mansion this time. These imperial students had not done this before, and he did not understand what they were thinking.
The concierge thought for a while, his face turned red, and he hesitated to speak.
Uncle Xie Fang's face darkened, and he glared and scolded: "If you have anything to do, you might as well just say it."
"Now there are people throwing excrement in front of the Qin Mansion. As long as people from the Qin Mansion go to the streets, they will throw stones, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves." Xie De looked at Uncle Xie Fang and answered cautiously, "But I don't know if it's these Tai Made by students.”
"It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance." Uncle Xie Fang was so angry that he pulled his beard straight and even pulled off a few strands of his beard.
Although his beard was pulled off by Uncle Xie Fang, he didn't seem to feel any pain.
Although he didn't feel any pain in his jaw, he felt extremely painful in his heart.
The behavior of this group of students is so heartbreaking.
The next day, "Da Song Li Bao" published an article to refute "Da Song Zhonghua Bao".
The Song Zhonghua Newspaper's refutation of Qin Hui's accusations is as follows.
First, the Prime Minister of Qin was devoted to the public affairs, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. From a civilian perspective, he relieved Yue Fei and Han Shizhong from their military power in order to prevent the Song Dynasty from being harmed by the vassal towns of the former Tang Dynasty;
Second, Prime Minister Qin surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin in exchange for peace;
Third, Prime Minister Qin raised taxes in order to increase revenue for the court.
Fourth, to avoid the turmoil of the Song Dynasty, the Jin State was indeed powerful at that time, and it was a beneficial choice for Qin to seek peace;
In short, everything that Prime Minister Qin did was for the imperial court of the Song Dynasty, and his starting point was good.
The implication is that at best, Prime Minister Qin has good intentions but does bad things.
Chengdu Jintang.
When Zhao Ping read the article in "Da Song Li Bao", the person who wrote it was Xie Zhong.
He frowned and couldn't help asking: "Who is Xie Zhong?"
"Xie Zhong is Uncle Xie Fang's staff." Zhong Hua glanced at Zhao Ping and answered cautiously.
Zhang Si looked at the "Da Song Li Bao" and couldn't help but sneer: "This Uncle Xie Fang is also ashamed. He didn't take action himself, but he arranged for his staff to come to the front."
"That's wrong. This should not have been written by his staff, but by himself." Zhao Ping shook his head and dismissed it, "It is so secretive that the Prime Minister has no responsibility at all."
It has been almost half a year since the launch of "Da Song Li Bao", but its influence is not comparable to that of "Da Song Zhonghua Bao", and it is not at the same level at all.
The newspaper was named and written by Xie Fangshu himself, and it published some articles by Song Dynasty officials and Neo-Confucian scholars.
Uncle Xie Fang came up with many ways to obliterate "Da Song Zhonghua News".
First, collect taxes on the Song Dynasty China Newspaper.
This drove Liu Yunliang and others into confusion. They did not expect that newspapers would also have to pay taxes.
Finally, with Zhao Ping's consent, he still paid taxes for every penny he paid.
Of course, the commercial tax of the Song Dynasty was only 3%, which this newspaper could afford.
Secondly, Uncle Xie Fang saw that the tax collection could not suppress the Song Dynasty China Newspaper, so he spread rumors that the Song Dynasty China Newspaper was full of copper stench.
Thanks to the people arranged by Uncle Fang, the people said that the dignified "Da Song Zhonghua News" was actually full of copper odor, and there were even merchants with advertisements. It was really insulting to politeness.
After hearing this, there were indeed some bloody literati who stopped buying the Song Dynasty China Newspaper.
Among them was Xie Hui, a member of Uncle Xie Fang's clan. After hearing what the clan leader said, he resolutely refused to buy the "Da Song Zhonghua Newspaper".
Xie Hui was only seventeen years old and had just passed the examination.
In the past few days, he didn't think about tea or food. He only thought about two things.
One is the subsequent plot of "Dream of Red Mansions".
What is the ending of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu? Does he want Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu?
Also, what will happen to him and his personal maid Xiren?
The second is the subsequent plot of "Journey to the West".
After Tang Monk drives Sun Wukong away, will he be eaten by other monsters?
In the torture of two books, Xie Hui no longer read books in his heart.
In his dreams, either Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Xi Ren were involved, or Tang Monk Zhu Bajie and others encountered monsters.
Xie Hui was so confused that after ten days without "Da Song Zhonghua News", he almost became a different person.
On this day, he met his classmate Zhou Chi on the street. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He bowed his hands and greeted quickly: "Zi Ji, what's wrong with you on the street?"
"May I ask who your brother is? He sounds like my classmate, but looks different." Zhou Chi returned the courtesy, looked at Xie Hui, and asked with confusion on his face.
Who was this person? He looked decadent, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was pale and lifeless. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Xie Hui grabbed Zhou Chi and said hurriedly: "Zi Ji, my younger brother is Zi Guang, how could I forget it?"
"Sure enough, it's Zi Guang. How did you become like this? You are almost unrecognizable to me as my brother." Zhou Chi looked him up and down and finally confirmed him, feeling even more puzzled.
Xie Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed. He grabbed Zhou Chi's arms and looked at him expectantly: "Ziji, what happened to Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu? Was Tang Monk eaten by monsters?"
"Ziguang, you can't be so poor, are you? You can't bear to give up a penny." Zhou Chi looked him up and down, his eyes full of confusion and confusion, "Zemo went to a brothel, and all the money he had with him was on them? "
After saying that, his eyes revealed a look that any man would understand.
Seeing Zhou Chi's strange eyes, Xie Hui couldn't laugh or cry.
"No, no, I haven't been to a brothel at all these days." Xie Hui was eager to hear the story behind it, so he hurriedly denied it.
Xie Hui usually didn't feel that today, he was so impatient and encountered a slow doctor.
He was anxious to death, but the other party didn't notice at all.
Not only did he not notice it, but he had the exact opposite idea.
Zhou Chi suddenly understood, like a chicken eating rice, he kept nodding: "Ziguang, did you go to a gambling house and lose all your money? I just feel strange where you have been. It turns out that you are the one who lost everything now." gambler."
After saying this, Zhou Chi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He finally found the reason for Xie Hui's sudden change.
Xie Hui admitted that he was like a gambler now, but he actually did not go to the gambling house.
"Ziji, I really didn't go to a brothel or a gambling house. I just thought about the plots of "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" these days. I found that I couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat. So I It has become like this. Please brother, can you tell me the plot of these ten days." Xie Hui saluted and kept begging.
While Zhou Chi returned the gift, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to understand this classmate: "Ziguang, you don't need to ask for help. It's very simple. It costs a few pennies and you know all the plot."
"Ziji, why do you still buy that "Da Song Zhonghua Newspaper"? Although it is named "Da Song Zhonghua", it is actually full of a strong smell of copper, which is simply insulting to gentlemen. I really feel sorry for it, "Da Song Zhonghua Newspaper" Title. Bah, bah, bah." Xie Hui kept spitting as he spoke, with deep disdain in his eyes.
Zhou Chi felt that this classmate not only changed in appearance, but also in his heart.
He bowed his hands and asked, "Zi Guang, is it possible that the Song Dynasty Zhonghua Newspaper promoted the transformation of barbarians?"
"That's not the case. It's almost full of enlightenment." Although "Da Song Zhonghua News" is full of the smell of copper, Xie Hui cannot deny that it is full of enlightenment.
While Zhou Chi was confused about this classmate, he was also looking at him carefully, hoping to find out the reason for his change through conversation.
So Zhou Chi continued to ask: "Ziguang, is there any content in the "Da Song Zhonghua News" about losing power and humiliating the country?"
"No, no, not even this." Although Xie Hui hated his copper smell, he couldn't open his eyes and tell lies.
As a man of letters, he must at least have a moral bottom line.
If a literati does not have the most basic moral bottom line, then he will lose his qualifications as a literati, and Zhou Chi will inevitably sever ties with him.
Xie Hui felt that he was going crazy and couldn't help but ask: "Since Song Dynasty China News does not have these bad habits, why have you stopped reading it recently? I remember that you like it the most. Why do you seem to have become a different person these days? "
"Since the "Da Song Zhonghua News" is mainly about education, I don't know why it is full of copper odor?" Xie Hui resented it, as if a huge stone was blocked in his heart, "Isn't this the opposite?"
"Going in the opposite direction?" Zhou Chi understood Xie Hui's obsession.
Zhou Chi bowed his hands and asked Xie Hui, "Do you know how much this newspaper costs?"
"Of course it's a penny. Isn't it always the same price?" Xie Hui returned the favor while feeling that Zhou Chi was asking incomprehensible questions.
Zhou Chi nodded: "Have you ever thought about the price of a book with the same content?"
"Fifty cents, no, at least a hundred cents." Xie Hui thought of this answer and couldn't help being shocked by his own answer.
It seems that you are still salvageable, and you are not speaking out of conscience.
Zhou Chi stared at Xie Hui without blinking, and nodded happily: "Since the cost is so expensive, what's the harm in having a little advertisement?"
"What's the point of a small advertisement?" Xie Hui fell into deep thought.
Zhou Chi nodded: "If you are obsessed with the idea of a small advertisement and do not see its huge educational effect, then you are already obsessed with it."
"I'm obsessed with photos, and I'm obsessed with small advertisements?" Xie Hui felt full of enthusiasm, but felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. He was confused for a moment and could only mutter.
Zhou Chi thought for a while and decided that he should resolve his obsession. He took out a copy of the "Da Song Zhonghua News" from his hand and handed it to Xie Hui.
Xie Hui wanted to say that it smelled like copper, but when he thought about it, he realized that it was only worth a small penny.
At this time, Xie Hui heard Zhou Chi's voice echoing in his ears: "Let all the scholars in the world be enlightened. Only a little saint can do it. This is a merit for the ages, a benefit for the present, and a benefit to the country." It is a thing of the people. Why do some people think it is a thing that smells like copper?"
When Xie Hui heard this, he said nothing and was thinking in his heart, constantly digesting Zhou Chi's statement.
Seeing Xie Hui thinking, Zhou Chi was also thinking about why some people said it smelled like copper.
He thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and suddenly realized: "The little sage once said that everything has two sides. If you only see the bad side of "Da Song Zhonghua News" and not its enlightening side, then there will be only A possibility."
"What's possible?" Xie Hui couldn't help but asked following Zhou Chi's words.
Zhou Chi looked at him and said coldly: "That's jealousy. Only a jealous person can say this."
"Am I jealous?" Xie Hui couldn't help but murmured as he looked at Zhou Chi's retreating back.
Xie Hui was shocked by what he said, but he didn't feel jealous.
The little saint is a boundary monument in his heart, and he has always imitated the object of worship. How could he be jealous?
Since I don’t have any jealousy, who does?
Thinking of this, Xie Hui didn't dare to look like him.
Because he remembered that it was the patriarch in his mind who said this.
This patriarch is none other than the current Prime Minister.
As the saying goes: "The prime minister's belly can support the boat."
Since the prime minister could hold a boat in his belly, why was he jealous? Xie Hui didn't understand for a while.
