Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 588 Public opinion erupts
As an emperor, Luo Youdu's perspective is quite different from that of normal people.

He doesn't deny Song Bai's talent, but he cares more about Song Bai's inexplicable arrogance.

Song Bai was very impressed by Luo Youdu, after all, he was a member of the imperial court's first Imperial Examination Triumph, and the most powerful contender for the number one scholar.

He still remembers that Song Bai wrote the best articles and was the one with the most outstanding literary talent in that session.

However, the purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court, and the selection is to rule the world.

Good literary talent does not mean that you can do practical things.

The simplest example is Li Bai, Li Bai's literary talent is unique in the world.

But if you really let him be an official, just let him drink and let Gao Lishi take off his boots.If you really want to step into the mortal world and be contaminated with the world, Gao Lishi can make Li Bai cry so hard.

Song Bai and Suo Xiang are two types of people.

Song Bai was erudite and talented, became famous at a young age, was favored by many great scholars, worshiped under the disciples of famous scholars, and read thousands of volumes of books at a young age.

And Suo Xiang is a late bloomer, with rich experience in traveling all over the world.

Suo Xiang's articles are above average, not outstanding.However, his political discussion is combined with reality, and it is in line with the reality of people's livelihood, which is amazing.Compared with Song Bai's knowledge learned in the book, there is a lack of practical inferences. Although there are wonderful things, many of them do not conform to the national conditions and need to be combined with reality to make appropriate changes.

Luo Youdu's selection of Suo Xiang as the champion is also to set an example for future generations.

To obtain talents for the country, practical work is the first, followed by literary talents.

Suo Xiang is a practical man who can do practical things directly without polishing.

Song Bai and Guo Zhi need to experience a lot of experience, see their performance and comprehension, and then consider whether to stay in the capital or send them out as officials.

It was less than a year since Song Bai was transferred from Zuo Lang to Jin Zou Yuan, and was promoted to editor.

How could it be mixed into the overall reform of a large department of the Orchestra?
Now it happened at the right time, and the recent newspapers were indeed not as good as in the past, Luo Youdu immediately realized that either there was something wrong with Song Bai, or something happened in Jinzuoyuan.

Song Bai thought he was very talented, and his reforms could be praised by Luo Youdu, and he staged a scene where the monarch and his ministers know each other handed down from generation to generation.

But I don't know that there are thousands of talented people.

If you just have talent and ability, you can run amok, interfere in other people's affairs, and take over other people's work, and the world will be in chaos long ago.

The so-called ability to do more work is for a specific time and a specific person.

That is, Zhuge Liang, Di Renjie, Wang Meng, and Fan Zhongyan are even the most outstanding figures, and it is worthy of any emperor to give them a small stove and go through the back door.

If Song Bai really had the talents of Zhuge Liang, Di Renjie, and Wang Meng, there would be no need for him to be greedy at all. The gold, silver and treasures would be delivered directly to Luo Youdu.

Obviously Song Bai's ability is not enough for Luo Youdu to ignore his overreaching behavior.

At the same time, Guo Zhai.

Guo Zhi went home in a hurry. While relaxing in Dali Temple, he read today's newspaper and saw Chen Wenxian's article "Thoughts on Traveling to Mount Tai". He had the same feeling as Lu Mengzheng.

When others see this article, at most they will say Chen Wenxian's flattery, and by the way, write an implicit flattery.

After all, not everyone can keep their integrity if they can make a name for themselves in newspapers.

Guo Zhi directly joined forces with the Chen family to send gifts.

Guo Zhi has worked in Dali Temple for more than a year and has certain experience.One thing may be a coincidence, but when two things come together, it is not a coincidence.

Guo Zhi looked embarrassed, he has a very good relationship with Song Bai, and they often get together to drink and talk about their ambitions.

I really want to kill relatives righteously, but I don't know how to start.

Lu Mengzheng said decisively: "The newspaper is the mouthpiece of the imperial court, which symbolizes the credibility of the imperial court. If Song Bai continues, it will cause chaos sooner or later. At that time, people in the world will not question Song Bai, but the newspaper is the court. Today, there is a lot of waste in the world waiting to be prosperous, how can you ruin the reputation of the court for Song Bai?"

Guo Zhi also knew that what Lu Mengzheng said was reasonable, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

The personalities of the two are also evident in this matter.

In history, Guo Zhi finally became the emperor's teacher. Song Zhenzong called him a "sincere elder". He was talented and capable, but he was straightforward and humble.

But Lu Mengzheng dared to speak politely to his superiors, was tolerant and elegant to his subordinates, and was unambiguous about matters.

Lu Mengzheng bowed his head and said: "It was a coincidence that I let my brother know about it. I definitely can't turn a blind eye and let moths ruin the government."

Guo Zhi said: "How does my brother plan to do it?"

Lu Mengzheng said without hesitation: "Beat the Dengwen Drum."

Dengwen Drum is located outside the gate of Dengwen Drum Academy. It is an institution that accepts civil and military officials and scholars, similar to the petitions of later generations.

But in order to avoid power interference, there is also a Dengwen drum outside the palace.

If the Dengwen Drum Academy is suppressed, the Dengwen Drum is played for the emperor.

Guo Zhi sensed Lu Mengzheng's courageous attitude, gritted his teeth and said, "This matter, let's do it for my brother. At least there is still a chance to ease..."

The sound of the Dengwen drum is almost equivalent to announcing the world.

If it was really a coincidence, Lu Mengzheng would also be punished to some extent.

However, he went through the process of investigating the internal situation of Dali Temple, and even false accusations were within their authority, and would not be affected in any way, and Song Bai's reputation could be protected.

Guo Zhi obviously did nothing.

As soon as Zhang Jinyi of the Wu De Division received the order, he immediately dispatched people to investigate Song Bai's previous and subsequent interpersonal relationships.

When the two brothers Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyi visited Song Bai, Chen Wenxian's article appeared in the newspaper.

Chen Wenxian, who was published in the newspaper, was full of ambition and openly held a banquet to celebrate.

After a set of procedures, the general situation is ready to emerge.

At this time, Luo Youdu just received the memorial from Dali Temple, and followed suit to file a case for investigation.

Standing side by side with light and darkness, Song Bai, who was still doing a scene where the monarch and his subjects know each other, was arrested by Dali Temple before he could react.

This time, the sky above Bianjing Shilin circle was like a heavy bomb that exploded.

As the idol of the new generation, Song Bai, the leader of scholars favored by many great Confucians and sages, was actually sent to prison for corruption?

Believe it or not...

Faith collapses...

There are also some people who feel like making a fuss out of a molehill.

So what about corruption?
Those military generals would not bother to be greedy back then, that is called a bright grab.

When the water is clear and there are no fish, corruption is certainly wrong, small punishments are big commandments, handing in property and fines are enough.

Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, and a small mistake ruined his future.

Too cruel.

No. [-] in the list, why bother to go to prison and suffer humiliation.

All kinds of controversies emerge in endlessly.

Public opinion exploded in Bianjing.

Luo Youdu looked at the pleading memorials in front of him, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

What is this called?
This is the double standard.

It is a heinous crime for generals to eat empty salary and embezzle.

Now it's the turn of our own people, and all kinds of sayings come.

Han Chuang studied hard for ten years?
A general who licks blood with his blade and practices martial arts day and night is really easier than a scholar studying hard in a cold window?
