Vol 2 Chapter 789: Amazing

Emperor Wen De is also paying attention to the quarrel between the life show and the Imperial College.
Chang En knows the Emperor's heart
He ordered people to buy "Dai Zhou Life Show" and "Guo Zi Jian Bao" every issue without fail, and put them in the palace for Emperor Wen De to read at any time.
Emperor Wen De frowned when he looked at the article on the Peking Guozijian published on the life show.
Then he asked casually: "Do you know who wrote this article?"
Chang En is not the spicy chicken of Guozijian.
He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is understood that Wenqing Bookstore has bought Cai Zhongshan and Xu Chengye. The content in the article, not surprisingly, was provided by these two people. Wenqing Bookstore also asked another person to run the pen, and then There is a peeling article published on the life show."
Emperor Wende frowned, "Cai Zhongshan, Xu Chengye?"
"Exactly!"
"If I remember correctly, these two were killed by Liu Zhao and his wife. Instead of holding grudges, they helped the life show to deal with the Imperial College? How much benefit did the life show give them to convince them to betray the Imperial College?"
Chang En said: "The exact number is not clear. The old slave inquired that there was a previous issue of Cai Zhongshan's article about picking up dust on the wall, which got the tacit approval of Cai Zhongshan. For this, the life show paid a sum of thousands of dollars. Give Cai Zhongshan a good name: reputation loss fee!"
Emperor Wen De snorted, "For money, fame, and face can be betrayed. This Cai Zhongshan is really shameless. It's no wonder that he can do things like dust on the wall. Life Show hired such a person, but it didn't get much better. There is dirt and dirt inside the Imperial College, and I don’t know how to self-examine and correct myself. I only know that I’m deceiving the top and the bottom. There will be today’s disaster, and it deserves it.
"What your majesty said. The two sides are fighting, can your majesty interfere?" Chang En asked cautiously.
Emperor Wen De threw the newspaper away and said: "Don't interfere for now. Let's see what else will be revealed in the life show. Can the Imperial College have counterattack?"
"The old slave learned that the Imperial College plans to start from Shanhe Academy. The students at Shanhe Academy have a complicated background and it is easy to find loopholes."
Emperor Wen De laughed, "Fighting between the two sides, as far as I am concerned, I can take this opportunity to see who is loyal and who is the wrongdoer. The Imperial College has revealed such a big problem, it is time to carry out a top-down, all-round rectification. Go and invite several Aiqings from the Political Affairs Hall, as well as the Ministry of Rites, and all the Aiqings from the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Old slave obeys!"
Emperor Wen De took this opportunity to open a small meeting.
Start with the black material exposed in the life show, discuss how to rectify the Imperial College.
This matter involves various interests.
Public speaking is public and reasonable, and mother-in-law is reasonable.
Some people say that personnel are replaced, but the original system and teaching plan are maintained.
It is also said that next year will be the year of the imperial examination, and that staff will be replaced at this time, fearing unrest. Affect the imperial examination of Guozijian students next year.
If the Guozijian does nothing in the imperial examination next year, it will become the greatest shame and crisis in the history of the Guozijian. The consequences are even more serious than the revelations of the life show. By then, I am afraid that a large number of students will be lost to Shanhe Academy.
In the end, Shanhe Academy will be the biggest winner.
Some people say that since rectification is necessary, it must be completely rectified. Don't change half and leave half, it becomes four different images.
Not only will the personnel need to be replaced, but the teaching system and even the teaching materials will have to be revised.
Although Shanhe Academy has many shortcomings, there are still some things worth learning.
The quarrels were so intense that they almost went into battle shirtlessly and went straight to the fight.
Emperor Wen De was quarreled with a headache by his officials.
He directly named Master Li, "Li Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Master Li stood up, coughed slightly, and cleared his throat.
He said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, it has been ten years since the return of His Royal Highness from Beirong. Ten years is enough time for the Beirong royal family to stabilize the situation and recuperate. In the past few years, our Great Week has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters. The soldiers said that the grasslands were not getting better, and many pastures were turned into sandy soil due to frequent droughts.
Weichen was thinking that Beirong mainly relies on animal husbandry for his livelihood. If the pasture really becomes sandy soil, Beirong will lose much. How can Bei Rong, who is in distress, get out of trouble without eating or drinking? After thinking about it, Bei Rong has only one way to get out of trouble, and that is to send troops to the south, looting our citizens of Dazhou City, and make up for their losses. When Bei Rong moved, Xiliang couldn't stay still. Your Majesty, the Great Zhou is in danger! "
Lord Li's words were astonishing, as soon as he uttered it, it was a military affairs event, and he immediately stopped the scene.
The minister present was caught off guard.
Everyone gritted their teeth, like a treacherous ghost Li Bingming.
Emperor Wen De also looked shocked.
He subconsciously sat up straight, "Why did Aiqing mention Bei Rong suddenly? What news did Aiqing get?"
Master Li shook his head slightly, "Recently the frontier has changed defense, and the minister took the time to chat with the soldiers. They all said that the grassland was dry and the water and grass were not abundant. Because of this, the cavalry plan has been delayed. The old man then thinks of Beirong, I am afraid Beirong The situation today is terrible. If this continues, soon we will have to send troops to the south."
Emperor Wende frowned, "Can there be any movement in the northwest?"
Mr. Li said: "If the old man and the Shaofu talk to each other, the situation in the Northwest this year is not ideal. Rumor has it that the Northwest Army's non-receiving at night has more than doubled, and the scope of investigation has even expanded to thousands of miles away. Bloody contact."
Emperor Wende immediately ordered, "Chang En, go to the northwest for the last six months, no, all the memorials in the last year. I want to look over it."
Chang En retired.
A small meeting on how to rectify the Imperial College has changed the style of painting in seconds and turned into a discussion of military affairs.
Imperial College?
In the face of major military affairs, that is scum, which is not worth mentioning.
If you want to fight or be noisy, just get it.
Do you want to rectify?
That is the matter of Emperor Wen De.
Emperor Wen De was busy with military affairs, and his handling of the Imperial College might have changed from being patient and meticulous to slashing the clutter with a sharp knife, and directly rectifying the Imperial College.
Someone saw through the tricks of Lord Li.
After the Xiaochao meeting, Lu Shizhong called Master Li, "Who is Master Li showing for?"
Master Li laughed, "Soon the position of the old man will be replaced by Master Lu. Why not wait patiently, Master Lu, why bother to kill him."
Lu Shizhong frowned, "Master Li suddenly mentioned Bei Rong, what is your intention?"
Master Li spoke nonsense seriously, "Naturally pave the way for Master Lu to make contributions. Goodbye!"
Believe in his evil.
Lu Shizhong frowned and watched Master Li leave. Then he went to Lantai Temple, turned out Beirong and Xiliang's information, and studied carefully.
Zhou Shian glanced at Lu Shizhong, who was reading the information a few years before the case.
"The adult's information is slightly outdated. If you want to know the latest situation of Beirong, you need to consult the records of the 36th year of Kaiyao."
Lu Shizhong looked at Zhou Shian curiously, a sloppy old man.
"Thank you, can you help me find out the information about the 36 years of Kaiyao? The Lantai Temple has a large collection of books. Without your help, this official cannot start."
"My lord, wait a minute."
Zhou Shian deserves to have worked in Lantai Temple for so many years.
He knows where to put any information.
Soon, he brought a basket of information to Lu Shizhong.
"These are the records about Beirong and Xiliang thirty years after Kaiyao. There are official documents, wild rumors, and spy secret reports. They are all here. But thirty-eight years after Kaiyao, Beirong news is almost Severed. I only know that Bei Rong changed three kings in a row, and it wasn't until the second year of Wende that he stabilized."
Lu Shizhong was overjoyed, "Thank you! What is your name? Which subject is Jinshi?"
Zhou Shian smiled, "It's not worth mentioning! Adults are busy, so I won't bother you when you are in office."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Lu Shizhong did not do much to retain him.
In his opinion, Lantai Temple officials, the management documents are fine, nothing else.
Lu Shizhong spent two days in Lantai Temple and went through all the information he could find.
He rushed back to the house happily, washed, and prepared to enter the palace.
Ren Qiu asked him to chat, "Something big happened?"
Lu Shizhong laughed and said, "Li Bingming mentioned Bei Rong suddenly, and there really is a conspiracy. Li Zi is damned."
Ren Qiu bit the apple, "Bei Rong is about to send troops to the south, isn't it a fake."
"Even if it is true, it will be something in the next year or two. He is deliberately alarmist, just to reap the benefits."
"What's the advantage? Didn't you say that he will retire soon? This matter has already been set, so there are still variables."
"Of course he won't retreat obediently, he clearly wants to do something. I even suspect that he and His Royal Highness are in collusion. Life Xiu happened to attack the Imperial College at this time, but he also mentioned Bei Rong at this time. There is no ghost hall, the officer twisted his head off and kicked the ball."
Ren Qiu clicked and ate an apple in a few bites.
He threw the core away, clapped his hands, and opened his mouth and said: "Even if Lord Li and His Royal Highness collude, this matter may not be no good to you. I heard something that someone said some time ago, and it makes sense. Anything. Reform is the easiest to advance during the war, because everything must serve the war.
Da Zhou and Bei Rong will fight sooner or later, no matter what Master Li plans, he can't keep the position of Zhong Shuling. At this time, he was still tossing. Obviously, he hoped that the situation would become chaotic. It is best for Bei Rong and Da Zhou to fight as soon as possible so that he can fish in troubled waters. I guess that he is colluding with His Highness the Grand Prince in order to facilitate the war as soon as possible. "
Lu Shi paused and frowned, "Who did you hear from these words?"
Ren Qiu grinned, "I haven't heard anyone say, I figured it out by myself."
Lu Shizhong frowned, "Then tell me, Lord Li and His Royal Highness colluded to facilitate the war. What good is this for both of them?"
Ren Qiu grinned, "The benefits are gone. The prince is warlike. If he starts to fight, he will definitely ask for a fight to take the opportunity to control the military power and strengthen his influence in the military.
As for Lord Li, as a veteran after a war, he can naturally continue to shine and share the worries for the court and his majesty. Even if he does not stay in the center of the court, he can go anywhere on the battlefield. With his qualifications and status, if he is a supervising army, he is more effective than anyone else. Even Luhou, the most unruly man, had to give Master Li a dichotomy.
As for the benefits of Madam Zhao, it is even greater. Her four-sea trading firm took the opportunity to intervene in the supply of munitions, control the army's logistics, and make a lot of money. In exchange for me, I would even take advantage of the opportunity of fighting to bind Shaofu and make Shaofu a puppet. "
"Absurd!" Lu Shizhong said absurdly, but he was already shocked by Ren Qiu's bold remarks.
Lu Shizhong walked around in the room, "They are doing this, obviously they are raising the emperor's power and your majesty. No, I can't let their conspiracy come true."
"Don't worry about it." Ren Qiu sneered.
Lu Shizhong looked dissatisfied, "What is blind worry? As a courtier of your majesty, I should share my worries for your majesty."
Ren Qiu picked up an apple again and ate it.
He asked: "Let’s put it another way, remove His Highness, remove the Four Seas Trading Company, and then remove Lord Li. When Da Zhou and Beirong Xiliang fight, what will be the situation? With the traditional supply of military supplies, you feel that you can support it. This national war?
This battle might last for several years. Who do you think can plan for such a huge supply of food and grass? In other words, who has the ability to supply military supplies on time without taxing or levying corvee?
Conversely, increasing taxes and corvee will inevitably lead to a large number of petty people going bankrupt. Without the Four Seas Commercial Bank, without Madam Zhao, there is no place to settle so many refugees. The refugees had no food to eat, and soon there were beacons everywhere, and the court still calmed down. Internal and external troubles, this is a dead end! Regardless of when Bei Rong went south, it was obvious that Bei Rong was betting on this war with national luck. Isn't Da Zhou betting on the national fortune? Gambling is not terrible, just afraid of losing! "
