Whether in ancient times or in modern times, freedom of speech is a luxury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Each regime controls speech in order to tilt public opinion in favor of it, to take the initiative, and to facilitate the implementation of its own guidelines and policies. Therefore, he also understands that there is an element of sophistry in his set of arguments, and not all of them are true. But today's Shilin of the Great Song Dynasty has become a backwater pool under the suppression of hundreds of years and has lost its due vitality. At any stage of history, any regime needs the help of the scholar class to maintain their rule, but in order to change the current situation and gain the support of these people, Zhao Yu must do something.

And Zhao Yu knew that Lu Xiufu was at least a good person, and he was maneuvering between various factions, and it was inevitable that he would swallow his anger for the sake of court harmony. But he is also the head of civil officials, the vane of Shilin, and his words and deeds have considerable influence on scholars. Now Zhao Yu wants to change the style of Shilin and select useful people from among the scholars, but he doesn't let them just complain at home and complain about the world. But now he is in charge of the house, and his influence in Shilin is minimal, so he can only express his attitude through Lu Xiufu's mouth, which can only make him suffer some grievances and squeeze him.

Now Zhao Yu has already released the signal, but he knows that this is not enough, and he has to push him again while Lu Xiufu has not fully digested his remarks. So he summoned his secretary team to draft an edict overnight, the main meaning was that he was shocked to hear that Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured, and he was deeply worried about the loss of the country's pillars. I even heard that there was a small Xiao who took the opportunity to hype up the death of Wen Xiang to flaunt his loyalty and achieve an ulterior purpose, and he was very angry about this and was ashamed of his behavior. As for how to denounce Wang Yanwu's own staff for polishing and processing, he only has one requirement to make it stink and smelly.

Next, Zhao Yu announced that in order to protect Wen Tianxiang's safety, he was willing to send an envoy to negotiate with the Tartars and pay 10,000 taels of gold to redeem it. As for the rogue literati such as Wang Yanwu who boasted of their loyalty, he decided to revoke his fame, remove his official status, remove his household registration, and pay a reward to call on the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty to arrest him and return to the court. Cai Qiao and a few people were surprised, the difference between 10,000 taels of gold and a penny is more than 10,000 times, I am afraid that no one will pick up a penny when it falls to the ground, who will go to the trouble of arresting people for a penny!

Several people felt that His Majesty had made a mistake, and when they asked again, they each suffered a brain collapse and a big white eye, and asked them to write it like this. After the writing was completed, Zhao Yu reviewed it again, and it was much better than his own vernacular, and asked Wang De to stamp the seal, so he asked people to send it to Zhongshu Province for review, and then announced it to the world. His intentions are incomprehensible to a few guys who are new to officialdom, but those people know what is going on at a glance, he doesn't understand why His Majesty has such a big hatred for a little Wang Yanwu, and it is estimated that he can't even figure out who it is. But these people are all oilers, and they suspect that it was the Lord who instructed His Majesty to do this, and they can't afford to do much for a small person, so they signed and passed without saying anything.

Several rulers in the court read the emperor's edict, and they didn't know what to do for a while, strictly speaking, this was the first edict from the palace, and everyone still attached great importance to it. Liu Huang looked at it and smiled and said, this son should indeed be killed, Your Majesty did a good job; Recently, the war is urgent, Zhang Shijie is estimated to be inferior to Zhao Hao, and he may not know which small fish and shrimp Wang Yanwu is at all, but he feels that it is not worth exchanging ten thousand taels of gold for Wen Tianxiang, but thinking about it, the Mongolians may not be willing to change, if they disagree, they are likely to offend these civil officials in the DPRK and China, after all, in their eyes, they are all outliers, and they can't offend people for something unscored, so they don't object.

Yao Liangchen, the new right minister, was promoted from the Guangdong transfer envoy, and he still knows what His Majesty did there when he led his troops to capture Guangzhou last year, especially since he did not loot there, but handed over the treasury in its entirety and made up for the shortfall in the accounts. This made him feel grateful for His Majesty's kindness, thinking that his actions in Guangzhou also seemed absurd, but he was very popular, this time he was furious at a little-known little person, and felt that there must be something inside, so he agreed with a little hesitation.

Xia Shilin, another governor of the political council, had a lot of complaints about His Majesty's edict, he thought that Wang Yanwu had done a good job, and Wen Tianxiang should have martyred himself when he was captured, and his full name should be celebrated. But seeing that three of the six people who participated in the court meeting had agreed, he wanted to see which direction the wind was blowing, so as not to stand on the wrong side, so he did not say whether he could send the edict to Wang De, the Privy Councillor of the same knowledge. Wang De licked his lips, he knew that he was a newcomer, and these people, including the emperor himself, could not afford to offend, so he pushed Lu Xiufu with a smile and asked him to speak first.

Lu Xiufu is not a stupid person, one night is enough time for him to digest what His Majesty said, he knows that the intention of His Majesty's edict is not intended for Wen Tianxiang, let alone Wang Yanwu, a small person, who wants to take the opportunity to change the decadent and empty talk atmosphere of Shilin. And he also understands that His Majesty is also taking a risk by acting like this under the current situation, how can the shortcomings accumulated for a hundred years be changed with just a single edict, and if he doesn't do it, he will be criticized by the entire Shilin. At the same time, he also knew that His Majesty was not so naïve as he looked, and this edict was also a test of the attitude of the courtiers, especially himself, otherwise he would not have said such a thing to him yesterday.

Lu Xiufu took a closer look at His Majesty's draft edict again, and he found that there was a secret hidden in it, and His Majesty still wasted his thoughts. Wen Tianxiang was admitted to the department as the champion, and successively served as a high-ranking official, sat on the right minister, and served as a privy envoy, whether it was in the people, or the status of Shilin was very important, which was also one of the reasons why Wang Yanwu wanted to persuade him to die. Although His Majesty did not praise Wen Tianxiang in the edict, he did not hesitate to save him with 10,000 taels of gold, and was willing to send an envoy to negotiate with the Mongols, after all, His Majesty had threatened death in the main hall in order not to negotiate peace with Mongolia. From this point of view, it cannot but be said that His Majesty attaches great importance to scholars, and there is no intention of discrimination.

However, for His Majesty Wang Yanwu in the edict, he has counted all kinds of wrongs, and the depreciation is only worth a penny, as long as the edict is issued, it can be said that he has cut off his idea of entering the office, which can be described as 'vicious'. And his status and reputation in Shilin are thousands of miles worse than Wen Tianxiang, and His Majesty's praise and depreciation will divide and disintegrate Shilin. And His Majesty's attitude is very clear, he will reuse the scholars who are truly loyal to the country at any cost, but those who will only take advantage of their tongues and try to talk about patriotism are delusional.

Lu Xiufu figured out the joints, and secretly laughed in his heart that he was too worried, after all, how could His Majesty, who can tell the thirty-six strategies to the top, do something that offends the entire Shilin when he is not in charge of the government and has a shallow foundation! After pondering and understanding, he first drew a ...... on the draft edict (To be continued.) )
