Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 317
The two just hugged quietly.

I don't know what His Majesty's mind is, and I don't know how many people have slandered him.

Shen Sanwen inevitably felt some sadness in his heart.

People are always used to show their good side to others and hide their cold side.So the more critical the moment, the greater the contrast between emotion and reality.

The princess's words made Shen Sanwen very uncomfortable.

If the two can share joys and sorrows, there is naturally no need to worry.

Only the one who lets go will worry about the one who falls behind and leaves first.

It is also understandable, after all, there are two sons, one big family.

Shen Sanwen decided to use anger to cover up his sadness, so that he would no longer be exposed to these unhappiness.

The days in the carriage feel like years, and the outside of the carriage is flying like lightning.

The moment Shen Sanwen arrived, Wu Zetian retreated from everyone, leaving only the two of them.

Shen Sanwen directly persuaded the princess to go out as well.

Since the emperor wanted to talk about this matter alone, there was no need for the princess to hear some words, and he had to shoulder his own responsibilities. Wu Zetian appreciated his move very much.

"What's your majesty's order?" Shen San asked with a calm expression on his face.

"I want to ask you, you are in charge of education reform, are you willing to take responsibility for this matter?"

Shen Sanwen immediately smiled kindly, "The education reform was initiated by His Majesty. It is an unprecedented reform to make the world no longer have white people. It is an honor for the minister to do this. But I dare not take credit for it." , Your Majesty will follow everything."

Wu Zetian said again, "In the past, Wei Yang's reform was punished by the cracking of a chariot, and Han Chao's wrong reform caused the chaos of the seven kings. Although he has a long-term vision and merits for thousands of years, disasters are inevitable. The ignorance of the world is truly deplorable."

Shen San asked and answered, "Duke Xiaowen strives to be strong, and Wei Yang is able to show what he has learned, laying the foundation for Qin to rule the world, and Qin Shihuang has become an emperor through the ages. King Hui is fatuous, and Emperor Jing is weak, so those who make relatives and enemies happy , Leaving a laughing stock is all done by a fool. In my opinion, His Majesty is definitely not a fool."

Wu Zetian laughed. In the past, she used her rich historical knowledge to convince all the ministers when they played against each other. It is rare to refute Shen Sanwen so bluntly. Shen Sanwen's temper is not so tough. It seems that this time he has already idea.

"What are you going to do? If the people's sentiments are turbulent, and I don't have the skills of a Mingjun, why don't you abdicate and let the virtuous comfort the world?"

Although she said it with a smile, it sounded like a death sentence to Shen Sanwen. No emperor was willing to abdicate on his own initiative.Power is a poison without an antidote, and those who are poisoned can only drink poison to quench their thirst.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Abandoning the throne in case of disaster is the act of a foolish monarch. Your majesty is an unprecedented wise monarch. Reform does not necessarily require bloodshed. Qin Shihuang changed the enfeoffment to counties and Han Wudi set up a decree of grace, so there will be no disaster occur?
Qin Shihuang burned books and robbed Confucianism, the end was ahead, and no one dared to oppose it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had military power in his hands, and the vassal king was powerless to resist and could only accept the reality.

The ruler is strong and the minister is weak, and the minister is strong and the ruler is weak. In Dazhou, the ruler is strong and promising, so there is no need to worry.

There is no serious trouble in the chaos of the internal ministers and the generals, so what is your majesty afraid of?As long as the emperor's heart is as strong as iron, who in the world would dare to offend?
Your Majesty can bring the family into the current situation, can they still turn the world upside down? "

Wu Zetian put away the smile on his face, threw a booklet at him, and said seriously, "The whole world has long since had no opponents for me, and the aristocratic family has long been nothing to fear, but now the poor family and the aristocratic family are united, and the people believe in rumors. It's very tricky, and I have to prepare for the worst."

Is this the worst plan to push me out?How unfair!
Shen Sanwen hurriedly said, "The impoverished families are all small families, they don't have enough confidence, and the reform has no fundamental conflict of interest with them. It's just that the common people are against it, so they follow what others say, and it's just to boost the morale of the aristocratic family.

The minister has already figured out a way to let the people of the world see the sinister face of the family, and the preparations are almost ready. "

Wu Zetian asked, "Have you accepted three disciples recently?"

Shen San asked hurriedly waved his hands in denial, "I can't talk about disciples, let them do things for me."

"What did you teach?"

Shen San asked and replied, "Teach them how to tell the world about the education reform, so that everyone knows His Majesty's wisdom, and wherever they go, the rumors will be self-defeating."

Wu Zetian was stunned, so that's the case, "Do you know why the voices attacking you are so aggressive this time?"

Shen Sanwen saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give me your advice."

In the past, buying the four treasures of the study was fine. He went to Tubo and returned. It was not as serious as this time. I don’t know how much these people spent on publicity.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "My secret report, your subordinate named Wang summoned the slaves to say something, and these people suddenly panicked. In just one day, you became notorious and everyone shouted and beat you."

"They are the means of the fearful minister, so it is better to strike first." Shen Sanwen explained.

Wu Zetian asked, "What kind of method is it, I would like to see it."

Shen San asked and answered, "I need some audience, just like listening to a play, you can call some farmers with children."

"It's quite mysterious. Are you sure your method is effective? Then why don't you dare to take responsibility, huh?" Wu Zetian asked gently.

Shen Sanwen replied without any panic, "Because I'm doing good deeds, even if something goes wrong and it backfires, it's for Da Zhou to be better and stronger. If I accept the punishment willingly, then who would dare to offer advice.

Good people should be rewarded with good rewards. "

Wu Zetian was amused by his words, good people, haha, only children can distinguish between good and bad.

"If your method is effective, I will approve it, no matter how big it is, I will suppress it for you. If it doesn't work..."

Shen Sanwen continued, "Your Majesty, please suppress me. After all, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to you not to do it. I will never mention it in the future. Your Majesty must keep my life as a matter of fact." For the princess."

Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "Great life and fear death."

Shen Sanwen touched the cold sweat on his head, people are gone when they die, ants are still alive, he wants to live without problems.

But he said, "I am worried about Your Majesty and the Princess." There are two sons.

Wu Zetian didn't say much anymore, as long as there is no problem for her personally, she summoned people to gather some farmers with heirs, and then told Shen San to ask, "Get ready, let's start later."

Originally, Ouyang Lin and the others were not ready for the speech, but now that the aristocratic family made a move first, he could only follow up and release the plan one step ahead of time.

"In the past, there were officials on tour in the country, checking cases in various places, and severely punishing corrupt officials. What I have to do is to order these three people to tour the world, but the main thing is that it becomes a speech, similar to a troupe. a paragraph.

The content has also changed from a playful nature to an inspiring and persuasive language. I have also devoted myself to researching the inner ways and how to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in learning to the greatest extent.

After these people are literate, there will be novels from the Ministry of Culture and various stories about self-motivation and success, to encourage the underachievers. "

After everyone arrived, Shen Sanwen went into battle in person.The others were not as good, and it was impossible for him, a regular visitor, to be as calm as he was in the important place of the palace.

Shen Sanwen spoke for a while, and the blood of the thirty peasants who listened to the lecture was boiling.

Wu Zetian clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Good! Good!"

The three good words expressed the joy in the emperor's heart.

The princess is very silent today, she has not said a word, just patiently being a spectator, watching all kinds of twists and turns.

When he came to power, the princess quietly begged Wu Zetian that no matter what happened, she must protect Shen San and ask for safety.

Wu Zetian didn't agree or refuse, but pretended to listen to the speech carefully.

In the end, Wu Zetian didn't even check the level of Wang Cheng, Ouyang Lin and others, and directly asked Shen Sanwen to let go and finish it as soon as possible.If your subordinates are all useless pustules, it's best to play in person.

A speech can sometimes attract fans of an emperor.

Shen Sanwen didn't have high demands on Wang Cheng and the others, as long as they could fool a few to a dozen people in one game, would it work?

Shen Sanwen didn't confront some court officials, and it wasn't a loose federation of federalism. It was only the emperor who made the decision, let alone someone like Wu Zetian who had successfully centralized power.

He's busy, time is precious, and he doesn't want to waste saliva.

I wanted to press this matter for a while, but someone rushed the duck to the shelves.

Let's see who is stronger.

Rumors spread in Luoyang, and people stared at Shen Sanwen to suppress their bad thoughts.

The sales volume of some books written by Shen Sanwen from the Ministry of Education, where he can be clearly guessed as the author, has declined to varying degrees.This gave other books more opportunities. Of course, the book with the largest sales increase in the same period was also written by him, but with a different pen name.

Shen Sanwen sneered, even if you don't read this book I wrote, you have to read another one, don't panic.

Shen Sanwen didn't want to clarify in the limelight that education reform is something that will happen in the future, as long as it doesn't happen for a day, no matter how the aristocratic family builds momentum, ordinary people will not make much action.

As long as the knife is not on the neck, they will not move.

Their request is simple, as long as they can live.

You don't dare to go door to door to collect education tax without posting the royal list of the imperial court, right?
Do you really think the law is useless?Or are the common people stupid?
Everyone is waiting.

A week later, the turmoil calmed down a lot, and the children got tired of singing a song.

Although there is fear and panic in their hearts, but if they really want to confront the royal relatives, they dare not.

The Princess Mansion put up a notice saying that at Caishikou where beheadings used to be used, now some people are going to give lectures, and each person who goes to listen will be given ten cents for three days in a row.

Three days, that is thirty Wen, enough to eat a few meals of rice.

The important thing is that even if the lecturer can't learn anything, he can show it off in front of other fellow villagers. That's Mr. Taiping's mansion.

There are many people here.Even people who don't lack [-] Wen have come.

Caishikou Private Soldiers is easy, and the location is sufficient, because when the beheading is performed, it is to allow more people to watch, and also to prevent the angry crowd from attacking.

There are high-level seats, a circular stage, a guard station area, a VIP audience area, and an area for ordinary tall people.

If the order of the scene is not good, the surroundings are too noisy and hard to hear clearly, there is no way to succeed, next time it will be changed to the Cuju stage, Shen Sanwen thought it over.

On the appointed day, many people surrounded the stage early. After all, this is a matter of ten pennies, so we have to be anxious.

The on-site staff will register them one by one, and they will be able to receive the money when it is over.

When the appointed time came, Shen Sanwen stood up, and there were eight guards standing beside him, responsible for seeing the situation in all directions and protecting him.

There are a lot of people, if one person speaks on the high platform, the people below will definitely not be able to hear clearly.

Shen Sanwen forgot to invent the loudspeaker.

But the ancients also had their own way, artificial sound amplification.

When he said something, those who were closer to him in the audience repeated it together, and those who were a little farther away repeated it again.

It's just that, the tone will inevitably change a bit, and we have to consider using short, rhyming, and retellable words as much as possible.

Shen San asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"

The four soldiers in the audience began to repeat, "Do you want to eat meat? Meat! Meat!"

The cooperation is good, and a small trick of deliberately elongating the end sound to increase the momentum is used.

The [-]-word speech is omitted below.

Shen Sanwen spoke very passionately, and the soldier who repeated it had a sore throat, it was too long...

As for the people in the audience, after hearing the general idea, they were not very excited.

Some people from aristocratic families who came to investigate feel better, this is not easy, right?A few words are like scolding someone for waking up, so wake yourself up first.

Shen Sanwen thought it was still useful, the audience was quiet all the time, everyone was at least listening to him, that was enough.

You can always hear something useful, right?

"Next, I will ask three questions. Those who are willing to answer will raise their hands after I finish asking, and I will randomly select someone to answer. The first person who can answer will be rewarded with [-] silver coins. Only farmers in the suburbs of Beijing can answer the questions, and everyone else will be free. Don't raise your hands and make noise." Shen San asked loudly.

There was an uproar in the audience, answering twenty essays, the son-in-law is here to give them money!

Good man!
Well, the heat level...

Sure enough, only tangible benefits moved them more.

Shen San asked a little signal, and the four soldiers roared, "Quiet!"

The field immediately quieted down.

Shen Sanwen asked the first question, "To sum up, what I said, the whole point, raise your hand."

Thirty hands were raised sparsely off the court.

Many people only hate that they don't have a smart head and don't remember all the important points.

Some people in the family also began to recall what he said, but they couldn't remember the specifics without a pen. They heard that there was a reminder from these people, and they roughly explained the reasons. They will report back to the clan elders later.

Shen Sanwen randomly selected a middle-aged man, with square facial features, a pair of godly eyes, a dark face, and slightly wrinkled eyes, he looked like an honest farmer.It looks powerful and should be loud enough.

He raised his hand, never daring to put it down, and shouted loudly, "My son-in-law said three things.

Education is funded by the state, and families only need to prepare some paper to supervise their children's studies.

If you want to send your baby to study, you will have a good future, otherwise you will not be able to learn good experience in farming, and no one else can do it well.

As long as you have a dream, you can succeed in everything you do. "

There was a burst of applause from the audience, I don't know if it was for his summary, or for Shen Sanwen's policies and explanations.

Basically summarizing what he said, Shen Sanwen was very satisfied, "Good answer, twenty essays will be rewarded."

A few hands were also placed under the stage.

However, some people still raised their hands, looking like they really wanted to talk, Shen San asked a little puzzled, was this preparing for the next answer?
