The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1607 You have to be polite

"Your Majesty believes that although Zhao Guangyi has made great contributions to our dynasty, but merit is merit and demerit is demerit, meritorious service must be rewarded, and demerit must be punished. I feel that Zhao Guangyi can no longer be named a prince."

Sure enough, the next day Yang Li opened fire in the court hall, saying that Zhao Guangyi cannot be made a king. Although everyone wants to be a king, it is also up to the emperor, but it is also a major event for the court. up.

The bosses of Yushitai all stood up, and the other censors began to follow their bosses. At this time, the censor still has a kind of integrity, that is, he thinks that he is wrong, and he must persist in the face of the emperor's persecution. This time, later generations of literati in the late Ming Dynasty learned the essence.

The literati in the late Ming Dynasty dared to bombard the emperor directly, and they were not afraid of being blamed by the emperor. At this time, there was no such thing as a stick in the Song Dynasty, but sometimes these censors were really similar to mad dogs.

"The ministers also think that Master Yang is right. Zhao Guangyi was the King of Jin before, but his mistakes are known to the world. If His Majesty entrusts him with important tasks at this time, he will be blamed. So Your Majesty should think twice. "

A large group of censors jumped out, and they had only one task today, which was to make Zhao Kuangyin take back the imperial edict, so as not to affect the emperor's reputation.

Not only the censor, but also other ministers also felt that Zhao Kuangyin's actions were wrong, but at this time, the imperial power was still very strong, and the imperial edict was issued as soon as it was issued, and there was no need for other departments to review it.

"It seems that you Yushitai really worked together this time. It seems that when Yushitai is still united, I hope you can continue to picket illegal behavior for me in the future. This is the Yushitai."

Zhao Kuangyin was really happy because he was really angry just now, but those people didn't seem to care about his emotions.

If Yang Li and a group of censors saw that they were angry, they would shut up and not speak, then there would be no need for the censor platform to exist. No matter what they said today, Zhao Kuangyin was still very satisfied.

The ministers didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Kuangyin was selling in his gourd, so what to say about these irrelevant topics, now they are talking about Zhao Guangyi's affairs.

"Zhao Pu, Dou Yi and the two lovers, what do you think I should do?" Zhao Kuangyin immediately asked the two prime ministers.

"Your Majesty thinks this is His Majesty's family matter, and everything is up to His Majesty." Zhao Pu gave a dumbfounding answer, this is the Emperor's family matter.

"You can't say that. The Tian family has no private affairs. Once it will affect the stability of the big country, I hope that your majesty can treat it with caution."

Dou Yi showed different views. The views of the two prime ministers may not all be the same. If they are both unified, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not let them both serve as prime ministers.

"Lord Dou is right. The Tian Family has no private affairs. Besides, His Majesty and Lord Zhao Guangyi have very special identities, which is why I made the proposal just now." When Yang Li heard that Dou Yi supported him in a disguised form, Yang Li was full of energy. Shocked, stood up again.

For a while, in order to prove their existence, the ministers all started to speak, no matter what they said was right or wrong, but they still had to say it.

Saying it can explain your existence. If you don't say it, your sense of existence is really low. Who will remember you?

These are old fritters, they naturally know what they should do at this time, not to let His Majesty think that we are too useless, it is better to make a little voice of their own.

"Qu Jing, when this is a vegetable market, it's not proper for you, as important officials of the imperial court, to make a scene here, and you will be fined for one month as a punishment."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the chaotic court hall, and a roar made these people shudder, and they didn't dare to speak anymore. They were really outrageous just now, they had forgotten the etiquette of serving as ministers, and made loud noises directly in front of the emperor.

This is also quite strange. Originally, there is nothing wrong with talking, talking to the emperor. It doesn’t matter even if you make a loud noise in front of the monarch, but there is a premise, that is, the emperor does not pursue it. Call it the sin of great impiety.

"Your Majesty has nothing to say, please make amends." At this time, the ministers in the court came back to their senses, and they performed too much in front of the emperor. Now the emperor is angry. Fortunately, the emperor only fined them a month's salary.

It's a waste of a month, but a month's salary is nothing to them, because those who can stand here must have received a lot of rewards from the emperor, and they won't starve to death without a month's salary.

"Hmph, as a minister of the Zhu Kingdom, I don't know how to behave. If it spreads about being rude in front of the king, it will not only lose my face, but also the face of my Song court. Learn more about court etiquette."

Zhao Kuangyin said flatly, it would be fine if he was angry, but now the emperor is not angry, which is even more abnormal.

"Read more about the words of the sages. As a minister of the Zhu Kingdom, you must not only have the ability to govern the country, but also know how to measure and etiquette. You must know that you represent the face of the court."

"I would like to follow His Majesty's instructions, and I will definitely study more about saints in the future."

This was said by the emperor himself, and the golden words cannot be changed. Besides, His Majesty's teachings are the honor of the courtiers. Zhao Kuangyin still doesn't know that his whim actually led to the emergence of the Four Books and Five Classics
The Five Classics appeared relatively early. It was already famous during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Four Books also appeared relatively late in the Song Dynasty, in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Xi, a famous Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty, took the two articles "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning" from the "Book of Rites" and wrote them separately, together with "The Analects" which recorded Confucius' words and deeds, and "Mencius" which recorded Meng Ke's words and deeds, they were combined into "Four Books".

These are the words of the sages. At this time, there is really no relatively complete system. Zhao Kuangyin's words today made the ministers start to collect the words of the sages, and soon there will be four books that will be popular in China to teach the world in the future.

"Although I was born in the army, I also know that I can conquer the world immediately, but I cannot rule it. You ministers and civil servants are the vast majority. I hope you can use your knowledge to help me govern my Song Dynasty. We are *** *Shangbang, a strong national power includes not only force, but also culture, I don’t have much knowledge, but you have, so your task is even more important.”

Zhao Kuangyin admits that he has no knowledge, and he is considered a rough person. Otherwise, what do you need to do with educated civil servants? I want you to help me govern the country, so you must have strength yourself, and this is the purpose of using you.
