Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 984 Wanyan Gou Officially Launched

"Zong Ze?"

Li Yan was a little surprised: "How did father meet this man?"

Although one is the Ninth Five-Year Lord and the other is the Supreme Emperor, the relationship between the family members is still the same as before, and Lin Yuanjing has no embarrassment: "I met at the racetrack, this person is full of knowledge and bearing. Uncommon, you can be a good minister, it's a pity to be idle in the wild..."

After listening to the detailed process, Li Yan nodded and said: "So that's how it is. I have talent and I am willing to serve the court, so I should use it."

He gave an order, and soon the information inquired by the official department was sent over, and he smiled lightly: "This is a scholar who should come to the capital to take the imperial examination. There are ten days left before the big exam, and he can also go to the racetrack, combining work and rest. Quite a fun guy."

Lin Yuanjing was a little surprised when he thought that Zong Ze, who was as old as himself, had actually come to take the imperial examination: "Isn't he taking the new exam this year... Can he adapt?"

Li Yandao: "Father listened to someone's words, so he came to the view that it is difficult to adapt to new learning?"

After all, the status is different. Lin Yuanjing was a little cautious, but he didn't hide it: "These days are away, and there are indeed rumors that the imperial court pushed the new learning, so they suppressed the scholars of the former court, and there are many convictions..."

Li Yan didn't take it seriously. He knew that this would be the case as early as the eradication and rectification of the gentry headed by the Kong family in Qufu and the Han family in Xiangzhou. It’s normal to have some gossip and unofficial anecdotes.”

Lin Yuanjing was a little worried: "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Yan smiled: "If you don't do anything, there will always be opponents of any policy. Back then, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was organized by Shandong scholars to tour the underworld. It doesn't prevent him from being a rare wise emperor through the ages..."

"Now that the treatment of scholar-bureaucrats has been greatly reduced, shouldn't they be allowed to complain? Besides, some words are not completely unreasonable. All kinds of voices should be listened to. The things that prevent the people's mouths are more important than Fangchuan's things are the most undesirable."

Lin Yuanjing admired this man's mind, and when he thought of the status of scholar-bureaucrats, he was very moved: "Ten years ago, I firmly believed that the only way out was to study for the imperial examination. I advised you to go for the imperial examination, but you have such ability. And those incomparably noble scholar-bureaucrats no longer have a position above others..."

Li Yandao: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the four peoples of the country, originally there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. It's just that after the scholars took control of the right to speak, they began to seek a position above their ability. Only by learning from it can the ethos of advocating literature and suppressing martial arts in the previous dynasty be completely formed."

"If this situation continues, the trend will become more and more deformed. Fortunately, it is not difficult to correct it now. This year, more people participated in the imperial examination. They complained and complained, and they still took the exam."

"The significance of the new learning is to refresh the atmosphere, and at the same time pursue practicality more and more. On the basis of the culture and education of the previous dynasty, it is a good thing for scholars with real talents, such as this Zongze."

The Zhao and Song dynasties still had a large number of talents, but after the change of dynasty, many people were still in the field. Li Yan did not plan to use the forward-looking perspective of history to find them. Those who should come will always come. He expressed his pleasure for Zongze to participate in the imperial examination of the new dynasty .

Zong Ze will adapt to the new subject, because this person dared to think and do it when he was young. Regardless of the word limit, he wrote more than [-] characters eloquently in the imperial examination. Straightforward, afraid of disobedience", placed in the "Min Jia", "given the same background as a Jinshi".

This is because the palace examination will not dethrone scholars, otherwise Zong Ze would not even have a background in the imperial examination, but in the next [-] years of history, he has been going around at the grassroots level, probably because of his upright personality and the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. They couldn't get along until Jingkang's disaster.

Zong Ze, who had become an old man, was ordered to guard Kaifeng when he was in danger.

But Zong Ze is still Yue Fei's Bole, and Yue Fei will be punished for breaking the law. Zong Ze thinks that Yue Fei is a talent. Hence the fame.

Of course, according to the urine nature of the early Southern Song Dynasty, all generals who were loyal to the country did not end well. Zong Ze was one of them. During his tenure in Kaifeng, he wrote to Zhao Gou more than [-] times, advocating the return of the capital and formulating a plan to recover the Central Plains. None of his strategies were adopted, and in the end he became sick with anxiety and anger. When he was dying, he shouted "cross the river" three times, and he died with regret.

Now such a loyal minister no longer has to die in anger. Although Zong Ze will definitely be discovered in the palace test once he passes the test, Li Yan still cupped his hands: "To serve the country, you are worthy of being the Supreme Emperor!"

Lin Yuanjing laughed: "Your mother has disliked me recently, remember to tell her that I am also doing business... By the way, in the arena, I also heard that the golden man sold horses to merchants, it is true Is it?"

Li Yan nodded: "It's true."

Lin Yuanjing felt a little unbelievable: "That's strange. I have heard for a long time that the Jin people were brutal and cruel. They destroyed Goryeo and Liao, and now they are plundering people everywhere, even the Qiang people on the border of Xixia. Now they sell horses to the enemy. , is there some conspiracy?"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth slightly raised: "Don't underestimate the enemy, and don't take it too high. Jinren are also human beings, and their subjects will naturally do some things to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country."

Lin Yuanjing clapped his hands and said, "That's a good thing, I'd better sell more!"

Li Yan leisurely: "It's definitely not enough to rely on Jin's horses and my Dayan's cavalry, but then it depends on how the gold master will deal with this crisis, how long can the rule based on fear last? "

……

"Drag on! Kill them all!"

Wanyan Aguda cut off a human head with a single blow, and in the splash of blood, he gritted his teeth and gave orders.

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!!"

Amidst the mournful wailing, the chiefs of four or five small tribes were dragged down. After a while, the guards offered up their bloody heads. Wanyan Aguda looked at the distorted faces and said sharply: Collaborators and traitors are not allowed to be buried in the common way, but thrown out to feed the dogs!"

The guard took the order: "Yes!"

Seeing the emperor's brother sitting down slowly, his face was blue and white, and Wanyan Wu Qimai, who was established as the proficient in Banbo Jilie, who is also the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, hurriedly said: "Emperor brother, calm down, because of such thieves, it is not worth getting angry body..."

Wanyan Aguda patted the table angrily: "How can I appease my anger? Emperor Yan held a horse race, and Yan Ting searched for good horses to breed everywhere. The purpose is to revive the horse administration and cultivate a large-scale cavalry. This is to destroy our Kingdom of Jin!" These chiefs are so greedy that they sell horses to Yan people? Sell weapons to the enemy to kill themselves? Are they crazy!!"

Wanyan Wu begged and said in a low voice: "The Yan people are cunning, the price is extremely high, and there are goods that I urgently need in the grassland. The chiefs of these small tribes can't see things so far away, and only care about the immediate business..."

Wanyan Aguda raised his hand: "I understand what you said, businessmen are so greedy for profit."

"Not to mention my Jinren, but Yan Ting has closed the mutual market. Isn't there still some Yan merchants who are desperate to find gaps in the Great Wall that have not yet been completed, and sell a large number of goods?"

"But these chiefs shouldn't be like this, and I will never allow it. If they can't see clearly, they will die, and others will naturally see clearly!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai couldn't hide his worry: "But if you continue to kill like this..."

Wanyan Aguda was silent for a while, and sighed: "We have no other choice, we have to make an example, as long as we show the slightest weakness, people's hearts will be even more scattered!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai also knew that since Yelu Yanxi died in the hands of the Jinren, the line of ruling with benevolence and morality is no longer feasible, but he still felt that the emperor's brother was too extreme, and said in a low voice: "Emperor brother, those How many Han officials can be used!"

Wanyan Aguda took a deep breath and listened to the heir's opinion: "Who do you think can be reused?"

Wanyan Wu Qimai thought about it for a while, and came up with the most obedient and eloquent person: "Recently, there was a man who went through untold hardships and fled to Dajin in the north. His name was Du Chong, and he was from Xiangzhou, Hebei. The situation in the Southern Dynasties is well known, and the insights are good, which can be reused!"

Du Chong and Zong Ze are about the same age, and they both came from Jinshi. At first, their official careers were not obvious, and they only came to prominence in history when Jingkang was in trouble, but this is a notorious negative example.

This person first served as the magistrate of Cangzhou, and it was Chai Jin's hometown. He first recruited soldiers from the Song and Liao borders. At that time, the Jin people invaded the south and fled from Yanyun. Young and old, all will be killed.

Immediately after guarding the Daming Mansion, he boasted that "a handsome minister should not sit on a plan, but take it as a matter of risking a stone." It seems that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, is reborn. He fled before the battle, and fled immediately, and came up with a "brilliant" idea to open the Yellow River and let the flood flood the Jin soldiers.

There are indeed many examples of flooded armies in history. As a result, when Du Chong broke the river, none of the Jin people died, and more than [-] local Han people were directly drowned. The fertile and prosperous Huaihe River area was destroyed, and tens of millions of people became homeless and became refugees.

What's even more frightening is that due to the lack of timely treatment, the Yellow River has been out of control since then, and has entered a period of frequent flooding and diversions, bringing endless harm to the entire middle and lower reaches of the region and causing harm for thousands of years.

After killing Hebei, Du Chong came to Henan again. At that time, Zongze died of grief and indignation. Fleeing to Jiankang in the south, he lost all the territory of the Song Dynasty north of the Yangtze River.

A general who was loyal to the country like Zong Ze was pissed off, so how would a courtier who killed the people, killed the Yellow River, avoided war in fear of death, abandoned the capital, and abandoned the vast territory, how would he deal with it?
Du Chong was worshiped as the right minister.

This is the Southern Song Dynasty, this is Zhao Gou, very reasonable.

The key is that Du Chong also surrendered to the Jinren in the end, so that when Zhao Gou received the news of surrender, he couldn't accept it.

At this time, Zhao Song had already died, Wanyan Wu begged to buy wisdom eyes and recognized beads, and recommended Du Chong, but Wanyan Agu didn't agree immediately, his brows twitched, his eyes looked outside, and he showed a rare smile: "Gou'er is here! "

As soon as the words fell, a child with a thick head and a thick head and a single ponytail lifted a corner of the curtain and rushed in: "Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang!"
