A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the sons are different. This speaks of the complexity of human character.

As emperors, their characters are more complex. Even the most kind Zhao Zhen will still become a stranger that no one knows before he has power.

Zhao Shu is of course no exception. He was never willing to enter the palace and take over as the prince, but now he holds on to his power very tightly. This change is so fast that people are stunned.

After tasting the sweetness of power, he could not give it up.

He took the tea and took a sip, then motioned for his wife to sit down.

Gao Taotao sat next to him and said quietly: "Those prime ministers and assistants are very powerful."

The conflicts at the top of the Song Dynasty mainly came from the power struggle between the emperor and his ministers.

"Since the late emperor, the imperial power has gradually declined, and Zaifu has become the master of the Song Dynasty. When I come here, I have to slowly regain it, otherwise if they are allowed to unite the party, life will be difficult for the royal family."

Zhao Shu said it calmly, but Gao Taotao was a little surprised: "They dare to form a party?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Zhao Shu looked at his wife amusedly, "You must have read Ouyang Xiu's theory on cronyism back then, right? The article was good, but it brought out something, that is, the ministers are all forming cliques, either this party or that party. Big parties and small parties... …It’s all about teaming up to make profits.”

Gao Taotao frowned and said, "Then you are alone. This is too difficult."

"I am not alone."

Zhao Shu put down his teacup and motioned to the waiter beside him to fan himself more quickly.

The artificial wind blew his hair, and he said happily: "As a king, you should not be afraid of cliques among your ministers, as long as they don't let them hug each other. For example, Han Qi and Fu Bi are facing each other now, Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gongliang are getting close again... I'm watching with cold eyes, and I just give them a few nudges from time to time to keep the two sides from getting closer."

This is checks and balances.

Gao Taotao praised: "The official family is really amazing!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "It's a good thing that Shen An wants to expand the Imperial Academy. Those people have an extra opponent, so I can check and balance them again."

Gao Taotao asked: "Who are those people... the officials?"

"Those people back then."

Zhao Shu's expression was cold and he said: "Those people contributed a lot to the failure of the New Deal during the Qingli period. Now Shen An is gradually rising. I am happy to see it because Shen An and those people are not the same!"

His eyes were deep and filled with anger, "The late emperor saw the crisis and wanted to use Fan Zhongyan and others to solve the crisis, but those people opposed it for their own selfish purposes, causing the New Deal to fail. I wish I could not let others take action..."

Gao Taotao was worried that he was sick, so he picked up the teacup and handed it over, admonishing: "Don't be angry, can't we have checks and balances now? At least life is getting better."

Zhao Shu's breathing became faster, his face turned a little red, his eyes fixedly looked outside, and he said coldly: "Ouyang Xiu takes care of Shen An a lot on weekdays. Zeng Gongliang and Shen An formed a friendship when they were in the southwest. But you didn’t see the appearance of these two people today, they are clearly dissatisfied with the expansion of Imperial College.”

Gao Taotao was horrified, "If Han Qi and Shen An don't deal with it, plus these two people, wouldn't Shen An have offended all the prime ministers and ministers? How will he do things for the government in the future?"

Zhao Shu became angry and said angrily: "Zaifu, Zaifu, they are also afraid that those miscellaneous things will start, and then their articles and poems will become useless things... Hey! Useless things!"

Gao Taotao recited the Buddha's name and said: "In the official family, poetry and articles are things that our ancestors valued. They have been valued by all dynasties. It is not unreasonable."

"The official, the saint, the king is here."

Zhao Shu's anger subsided a little and he said: "Let him come in."

Then Zhao Xu came in. When Gao Taotao saw sweat on his forehead, he ordered: "Hurry up and get a cold towel."

When the towel arrived, Gao Taotao wiped his son's sweat himself.

Zhao Xu said uncomfortably: "Mom, something is wrong."

"What's up?"

Zhao Shu's tone was a little stiff.

Zhao Xu glanced at him worriedly and lowered his tone: "Dad, Shen An went to Taixue."

"Fuck him, what happened?"

Zhao Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "You have to remember that the Prime Minister is also an opponent. As an emperor, you should not trust people easily, so just watch and wait for them to find fault with Shen An. Shen An has a bad temper, most likely There will be a quarrel. Ouyang Xiu has the highest reputation. He should not be able to bear it and will take the lead. Zeng Gongliang is just a supporter. As for Han Qi, his attitude is hard to say. It depends on how Shen An responds. If I am unable to do anything, I will take action. "

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, based on my understanding of Shen An, I'm afraid he will..."

…

Taixue, Shen An stood outside the gate, turning a blind eye to the door, and just ordered: "Go find Yang Yan and the others, help them carry their things out, and call the cart more often."

"yes."

Several carriages followed Wen Xiaozhong in, as if they were moving.

Shen An was standing outside the gate, with a group of tough men standing beside him, but they were rural soldiers.

When Guo Qian came over after hearing the news, he was shocked when he saw the situation: "Why is this waiting for the imperial edict? Come in quickly and serve tea."

Shen An smiled and said: "Many people say that if you can't get a chance to study in general studies, you should find a place where there is no one to squat. Some people say that Taixue cannot become the territory of general studies and should be expelled... What do you think of offering wine?"

Guo Qian said awkwardly: "These people are just talking nonsense. Don't believe it when you receive an edict."

Shen An smiled and said, "The sacrificial wine might be able to withstand the blame from those people?"

Guo Qian was startled, then his expression changed drastically, and he asked: "Then why did you come here?"

Shen An just smiled. get out of class was over at this time, and the students were leaving the school building one after another. Some people saw Yang Yan and others coming out carrying things, and there were even a few large cars pulling those heavy things behind.

"What's going on here?"

"Could it be...could it be that the school wants to expel them?"

"That's not good, miscellaneous studies are of great use."

"But now they don't study with us anymore, they just study miscellaneous subjects all day long."

"so what?"

"That's not too learned!"

That’s not too learned!

Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered the purpose of Taixue.

"The purpose of establishing Imperial College is to educate talents for the country, but what does it mean to just study miscellaneous subjects?"

Everyone watched blankly as Yang Yan and others walked away, and then someone followed.

"How to distinguish miscellaneous studies and Confucianism? Which one is more important?"

A kind of confusion arose in the hearts of the students.

"If you want to take the imperial examination, you must study Confucianism."

"But...but...where's the miscellaneous studies?"

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too!”

When they saw Shen An, some confused students asked, "Why did Yang Yan and the others leave Taixue?"

Yang Yan turned around, glanced at this person, and nodded slightly.

Shen An said: "Knowledge is like a couple. If they don't get along, they will break up."

Confucianism and miscellaneous studies are like a couple. They were very close before, but now they have discord and want to break up.

Everyone was puzzled, and someone asked: "Yang Yan, are you going out now?"

Yang Yan turned around and said, "Yes!"

The student who spoke had some personal grudges with Yang Yan. He pretended to be reluctant to give up and said, "You will regret it."

These words completely ignored Shen An, but Shen An didn't react at all.

The revitalization of Taixue was all due to him, but he was ignored by this student.

As long as I learned that learning method, as for who taught this method, why should I study it further? This is as absurd as trying to find out who laid the egg when eating it.

Shen An was not angry, but a student was dissatisfied and said: "Qian Hui, I'm waiting for you! You are shameless!"

The student sneered: "Why is X so shameless?"

This is taking sides!

He probably smelled something wrong, so he immediately stood on the opposite side of Shen An to show his attitude, hoping to be seen by Shen An's enemies and help him.

This little thought was invisible in front of Shen An, but he just smiled slightly.

In his eyes, Qian Hui was just an ant, not worth his trouble at all.

But Yang Yan couldn't bear it. He said: "Miscellaneous studies are all-encompassing and tell me what the world is like. I want to see everything in the world, so I won't regret it. As for the Imperial College, what are you doing here? Exam and serve as an official Is it good to be an official? You can be proud of your ancestors and be proud of it. There are too many proud people, and the number of people who can be proud of your ancestors is as numerous as the stars in the sky, not a few of them. But those who know everything in the world are all here, among them But without you."

He turned around and said to Shen An: "None of them regretted the imperial edict."

Thirteen students stood in front of Shen An and said loudly, "I promise to be a miscellaneous student in this life, and we will have no regrets!"

The teachers and students watched them get on the bus. Although they were lonely but calm, they couldn't help but be fascinated.

"You'll regret it later!"

Qian Hui expressed his support freely, but a student next to him pushed him and cursed: "If it weren't for the fact that my family didn't agree, I would have followed the imperial edict. You are chattering here, you are so noisy!"

Qian Hui felt happy and thought this was an opportunity, so he said, "Isn't what I said right?"

"Please turn back."

Qian Hui turned around and saw nothing but reluctance.

Some of those students even had tears in their eyes as they slowly walked towards the door.

"Waiting for the imperial edict, please stay."

"We will definitely study hard in the future and not embarrass you."

"Wai Zhao, don't pay attention to those villains' words, we support you!"

"Whoever dares to drive you out of Imperial College, we will stop studying!"

"..."

Qian Hui was dumbfounded, but Shen An was so moved that his eyes became a little hot.

He smiled and said: "No one can drive someone out of Taixue."

This is the truth and no one can drive him away.

But today, he has not left. As the reputation of miscellaneous studies continues to rise, there are more and more opponents of UU Reading www.uukanshu.net. If he stays, these students will be implicated.

For example, during the provincial examination, those people could use tricks to depose most of Taixue's students. After just a few attempts, Taixue would never be able to hold its head high again and would decline from then on.

Shen An smiled and said: "I have taught you all the methods of learning. You should study hard. Remember, whether you are an official or a citizen, you must keep in mind what I said to you..."

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"

The students said this in unison.

Shen An nodded and said to the professors: "You also know those screening methods. From now on, if you think about it carefully, Taixue will always stay ahead. Work hard. I hope we can reach the same goal in the future."
