Uncle Xie Fang and Qin Hui are both prime ministers, but they are still somewhat different.

Uncle Xie Fang was a Jinshi, and Qin Hui was the number one scholar.

Uncle Xie Fang's calligraphy is quite good, but Qin Hui is a great calligrapher.

Uncle Xie Fang had only been prime minister for a short time, and Qin Hui had been in office for nineteen years, creating the most in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Qin Hui not only served as prime minister for nineteen years, but also added Jiuxi and was granted the title of king after his death.

Only Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms could achieve this level of prime minister.

It can be said that Uncle Xie Fang is not worth mentioning in front of Qin Hui.

But this leader among literati, this leader among prime ministers, has now ended up in a state of ruined reputation, infamy for thousands of years, and an indescribable stench.

Uncle Xie Fang was not only worried about Qi Yan, but also angry.

You are all literati, why can literati have trouble with the literati themselves?

But what made him even more angry was that the imperial student actually wanted to flatter that vulgar martial artist.

The Ewang Temple Construction and Maintenance Association was actually established, calling on the people of Lin'an and the Song Dynasty to donate money and materials to build the temple for that vulgar warrior.

Who is qualified to build a temple? Only those who can be canonized can build a temple.

For example, the sage King Confucius has a Confucius Temple, and the sub-sage Mencius also has a Confucian Temple.

Wusheng Guan Yunchang built the temple, but Guan Yunchang was the emperor's sworn brother. Who do you think Yue Fei is?

His status is not as high as mine, but he still wants to build a temple.

Thinking of this, he sighed and spit out a mouthful of saliva.

Although the Taisheng's reason was that he served the country with loyalty and was both civil and military, he was able to defeat the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin and flee.

What's wrong with him serving the country loyally? He has no fame and is not just a vulgar warrior.

In the Song Dynasty, no matter how hard and successful the generals were, they had to be restrained by the literati.

You, these students, really don’t understand the sinister nature of people’s hearts, and you hold this vulgar warrior so high.

When you praise vulgar warriors to the sky, you are trampling us intellectuals to the ground.

Xu Qingsou found Uncle Xie Fang at this time. His face was originally old, but now he looked even older. He had an age spot without knowing it.

Xu Qingsou was in so much pain that he came to Uncle Xie Fang's hall and said angrily: "De Fang, what's wrong with these imperial students now? They actually want to build a temple for that vulgar martial artist. Where can we, the literati, put their face?"

Uncle Xie Fang was thinking and didn't have time to answer.

"Germany, in the Song Dynasty, culture was used to control military force. If a vulgar martial artist was allowed to build a temple in such a grand manner, would it turn into using force to control culture?" Xu Qingsou shook his head and emphasized the four words "using force to control culture."

Uncle Xie Fang put down the "Da Song Zhonghua News" in his hand and glanced at Xu Qingsou lightly: "Weng Zhi, I already know about this, and I have my own sense of proportion."

Hearing that Uncle Xie Fang had an idea, Xu Qingsou nodded and returned to his hall.

The next day, "Da Song Li Bao" published Xie Zhong's article.

Xie Zhong pointed out in the article that Ouyang Zuiweng, Fan Wenzheng, Dongpo Jushi, and Xin Jiaxuan did not build temples. Yue Wumu had no fame, but a mere vulgar martial artist wanted to build a temple. What kind of logic is this?

Although Uncle Xie Fang did not use his own name and borrowed the name of his aide Xie Zhong, almost everyone knew that Xie Zhong was Uncle Xie Fang.

The morale of almost all the literati has been boosted. Prime Minister Xie Fangshu personally took action to see how the imperial students responded.

The Song Dynasty China News was naturally not to be outdone, and Man Tianxing, a Taipei student reporter, immediately refuted.

Is King E a vulgar warrior? I wonder if Xie Xianggong can write his "Man Jiang Hong", and can Xie Xianggong write his calligraphy "Return My Mountains and Rivers"?

King E defeated the most powerful general of the Jin Kingdom and regained the territory of the Central Plains. Has Mr. Xie ever defeated a barbarian and taken back an inch of land?

Knowing that Xie Zhongnai was Uncle Xie Fang's staff and that this article was actually written by Uncle Xie Fang, Man Tianxing simply faced Uncle Xie directly.

After reading this article, Uncle Xie Fang felt like his skin was being peeled off layer after layer.

It is true that he is a Jinshi, but his poetry is not outstanding, and his calligraphy is only passable.

Now that Man Tianxing has peeled off Jin Shi's skin, how can he be better than King E?

Seeing the starry sky comparing him with Yue Wumu, he felt his face burning.

Jingyuan Teahouse.

Zhang San and Li Si drank tea while reading "Da Song Zhonghua Bao" and "Da Song Li Bao".

Zhang San shook his head: "Xie Xianggong claims to be a leader among literati. He didn't expect that compared with King E now, apart from being a Jinshi, his poetry and calligraphy are actually not as good as King E's."

"The King of E is both civilized and military. Although he does not have the title of Jinshi, his literary talent is far better than Xie Xianggong, a scholar." Li Si carefully looked at the calligraphy of King E's "Man Jiang Hong" and "Return Our Mountains and Rivers" with a face of admiration. However, "Da Song Li Bao" did not calm down and continued to publish Xie Zhong's articles.

The Martial Saint only has a temple built by Guan Yunchang, but no military general has built a temple yet.

Guan Yunchang was loyal, fierce and brave, and shed his blood for the Han family.

Guan Yunchang was not only the sworn brother of Emperor Liu Bei, but also the True Lord of Weizong, so he was qualified to build a temple.

Although Yue Pengju was posthumously named King of E, he did not have a battlefield on the battlefield. He also called the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty the Yue Family Army, which obviously had evil intentions.

Gypsophila immediately published an article to refute, and King E's mother tattooed words on his back, asking him to "serve the country with all his loyalty". His goal was to go straight to Huanglong Mansion to welcome the two emperors.

The reason why the soldiers and horses of King E are called the Yue Family Army is because this is the chief officer of the soldiers and horses.

Not only Yue Fei was like this, but also Han Shizhong and others were like this.

It is said that the Yue family army harbors evil intentions. What kind of truth is this?

King E was so determined and tattooed, why was he still not loyal to the Song Dynasty?

The war of words between the two sides has attracted the attention of Lin'an people, causing the sales of the two newspapers to surge recently.

And Man Tianxing, a nerdy reporter, suddenly became famous and became a influential figure among scholars and ladies who could compete with the Prime Minister.

There are even people who are thinking about Man Tianxing's move and are determined to marry their daughter to him.

Among them was Cheng Si, a member of the staff who was idle at home. He asked the housekeeper to find Gypsophila.

Although Cheng Si is no longer in the officialdom, his connections are still there.

Another reason why he is not in officialdom is that he is in business.

Officials of the Song Dynasty did not do business on the surface, but they generally did not do business in person. They all had their own methods and partners.

Cheng Si's ancestors had always been in business. Although he passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, he did not expect to offend a boss in the officialdom who would affect his future.

He had not received a promotion for many years, so he simply resigned and took up a false position in business.

After he took over his father's business, and with his connections in the officialdom, his business became even bigger than his father's.

Although he is no longer in officialdom, he still pays attention to officialdom.

He has a keen eye for officialdom, and when he sees that Gypsophila dares to compete with the Prime Minister in a literary arena, he must have great prospects and be determined to win.

But Man Tianxing looked ashamed and said to Cheng Si in embarrassment: "Please tell me, Mr. Cheng, it's not that I wrote well, but that I got the guidance of a little saint."

"What? You are a little literati, and you have received the guidance of a little saint. Those who should have a better future. Call your master here to discuss it." Cheng Si heard that although the article was not written by him, he felt regretful. Even happier.

Man Tianxing couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would still fall in love with him when he told the truth.

Little did Man Tianxing know that he could gain Zhao Ping's common sense and his future would be even brighter.

After all, Zhao Ping could not come forward directly regarding the Ewang Temple matter. If he came forward directly, he would be suspected of interfering in government affairs.

And Man Tianxing is a reporter for the "Da Song China News". He is also a student of the Imperial College, and he is also a civil servant. His identity is very suitable.

Of course, there is another key factor. Man Tianxing is not only passionate, but also admires the little saint who is famous all over the world for his civil and military skills.

Although the war of words is fierce, the effect still depends on it.

If the common people and scholars did not support it, the imperial court would definitely not allocate funds, and the Ewang Temple would naturally not be built.

Gypsophila announced in the Song Dynasty China News that Tai students had raised more than 50,000 copper coins and were preparing to build the Ewang Temple at a certain date.

What is public opinion? These 50,000 copper coins are public opinion, which represents the recognition of King E by the people of the Song Dynasty.

"Germany, we must not let the Tai students build the Ewang Temple. As long as it is built, these vulgar warriors will ride on the heads of our literati and dominate." Seeing that the Tai students had the upper hand in the war of words, Xu Qingsou said He also gave Uncle Xie Fang advice and asked to prevent the imperial students from building the Ewang Temple.

Uncle Xie Fang smiled coldly: "Although these copper coins represent the so-called public opinion, I believe that most of these copper coins came from Zhaojiazhuang."

"This old man also knows it, and many people in Lin'an also know it, but they have almost enough money to build the Ewang Temple, and they are just waiting to build it." Seeing that Uncle Xie Fang was still worrying about this aspect, Xu Qingsou became anxious and immediately told the consequences. "After the Ewang Temple was built, the Song Dynasty became dominated by those vulgar warriors."

Uncle Xie Fang's face didn't look good and he nodded: "I have already sent a message to Lin'an Prefecture Yin and asked him to stop the imperial students from building temples."

"That's very good. How did the governor of Lin'an express his position?" Xu Qingsou felt a little relieved, but what if the governor supported it?

Uncle Xie Fang nodded, with a smile on his face: "He is also a scholar, so he naturally knows what to do?"

"De Fang, don't worry for such an old man." Xu Qingsou felt a stone in his heart and left.

Lin'an Yamen.

Fu Yin Yin Jiu is almost fifty this year and has been in the position of Fu Yin for more than a year.

But he looked at the "Da Song Zhonghua Bao" and "Da Song Li Bao" on the desk with a frown.

Staff officer Yin Fu stood respectfully beside him, bowed his hands and asked, "Officer, are you worried about the Ewang Temple?"

"That's right. Is there any good plan for Zi Xing?" Yin Jiu nodded, slightly cupped his hands, and then sighed: "Now that my husband is roasting me on the fire, I don't know what to do?"

He is the governor, and Yin Fu is just a staff member, so it is good to be able to return the favor.

It is the job of the staff to share the master's worries, otherwise the staff would not have to do it.

Yin Fu thought for a while and bowed his hand again: "The officials are now facing three difficulties. The officials must be secretly watching how the officials will deal with it? Xie Xianggong wants to use the hands of officials to deal with the imperial students again, but the imperial students have already rushed several times. When I leave Lin'an Prefecture, my morale is high."

"No one knows me better than Zi Xing. What's the plan?" After hearing Yin Fu's detailed analysis, Yin Jiu raised his hand and asked.

"The Imperial College students are originally literati, but this time they helped military generals build temples. Obviously, this is different from before. This matter is very difficult. As a literati, if an official does not speak out, he will be ridiculed by the literati in the world. But if an official wants to Action will lead to a head-on conflict with the imperial students. I believe that officials should do something and not do something." Yin Fu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

It's just that this statement seems a bit unpredictable and profound. What does it mean to do something and what not to do?

"That makes sense." Yin Jiu looked at the newspaper and towards Yin Fu, "What does it mean to do something and not do something?"

"There is something to be done, that is, since this matter requires the construction of a temple, and it is still in the name of King E. The officials can make a fuss in this aspect, and the required work must be reviewed by the workshop before they can agree to the construction. The workshop is stuck with him, that is, in Do some tricks on the construction schedule. If you don't do anything, don't face a direct conflict with the Tai students." Yin Fu thought for a while and said cautiously.

After hearing this, Yin Jiu picked up the tea cup and fell into deep thought while drinking tea.

Yin Fu stood aside and looked at Yin Jiu.

He was actually uneasy. After all, he was a staff member. If he didn't come up with an idea, how could he live up to his status as a staff member.

Yin Jiu thought about it again and shook his head: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. The government didn't contribute a penny for the construction of the Ewang Temple. There is no reason to want the factory to intervene."

"Official, the factory has experience in construction, which is the best reason. Also, building a temple must involve fire prevention, so this is another reason." Yin Fu thought for a while and came up with another idea.

Yin Jiu stood up from the chair, walked around the table several times, and kept walking.

Fu Yin did not sit down, so Yin Fu naturally did not dare to sit down, and his eyes kept following Yin Jiu.

He finally stopped and nodded: "Let the promotion officer Mei Zifang take the workshop to take a look at this."

Yin Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Fu Yin adopted his suggestion.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but Mei, the official in charge of tea, could not think about it and could not sleep.

Mei Shou has just passed his forties, and it is not easy to be a promotion official in Lin'an.

But Lin'an is at the feet of the emperor, and officials like him from the sixth rank are everywhere, so he has always been careful in handling things, otherwise he would not have known that he would be sent three thousand miles away.

Mrs. Mei Xu saw that he couldn't sleep, so she supported him with her arm and asked hurriedly: "My lord, what trouble did you encounter again?"

The Mei Xu family is also a scholarly family with extraordinary knowledge.

When Mei Xu asked about this matter, Mei Shou had no choice but to tell his wife about the matter of King E.

"Guanren, what do you think of King E?" To handle this matter well, the official is very critical to King E.

Mei Shou bowed respectfully to Qixialing: "Although King E has no fame, he is both civil and military. If it weren't for Qin Hui's persecution, the Kingdom of Jin would have been gone."

"Officer, is this your truth?" Mei Xu looked at Mei Shou intently, hoping to get the answer from her eyes.

Mei Shou nodded: "How could an official deceive his wife? My husband is also a scholar. This time it involves a civil and military struggle. It is really uncomfortable to let my husband be roasted on the fire."

Mei Shou's face showed respect at first, then solemnity, and finally became a little confused, obviously not knowing what to do.

"Official, this dispute over the Ewang Temple obviously involves a fight between the young saint and the two princes of the current dynasty, but the official never expected that he would be swept into it." Mrs. Mei Xu chuckled, Hit the nail on the head.

Mei Shou nodded, his face still blank.

He hugged his wife, stroked her smooth back, nodded, and sighed: "This matter really puts my husband in a dilemma."
