After Empress Dowager Xue left, Li Qiniang came in, she didn't ask what was going on outside, nor did she say anything else, just accompanied Li Zhongyi, who was reviewing the chapters.

When Li Zhongyi finished reading a piece of music and drank tea with a tea cup, he found that Li Qiniang was here.

"Sit down, Fang Cai deliberately made a show for the people outside." Li Zhongyi took Li Qiniang's little hand apologetically and patted it lightly.

Li Qiniang smiled and said, "The concubine understands, so she personally invited the queen mother over." ”

Li Zhongyi laughed and said, "The one who knows me is none other than Qi Niangye!" ”

Li Qiniang still didn't ask what was going on outside, Li Zhongyi finished reading the last piece of music, and told Li Qiniang what happened.

"Your Majesty, there are at least hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars in the whole world, and you have offended them all, okay?" Li Qiniang asked Li Zhongyi very curiously.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "It is my basic national policy to contend, and it is impossible for anyone to shake my determination. ”

Hearing Li Zhongyi say this, Li Qiniang fully understood that the man had already made up his mind, and Jiuniu couldn't pull it back.

"Shilin public opinion is very terrible......" Li Qiniang thought about it again and again, after all, she was still worried that the man's reputation would stink on the street.

Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, a long time ago, I was burdened with the infamy of 'copper stinking', even if there are a few more infamy, why be afraid?" ”

"Besides, if the country wants to be truly prosperous, it is obviously not possible to respect Confucianism alone, and if you go all the way, it can only be a dead end." Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that Confucianism could only adapt to the ruling needs of the cold weapon era.

However, in the era of hot weapons, the tragedy of thousands of British troops beating hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, Li Zhongyi absolutely did not want to repeat it again.

In the First Opium War, the British army had a total of 47 warships and 4,000 troops, and only paid the price of 69 killed, killing and wounding 22,790 Qing troops, forcing the Qing to sign the "Treaty of Nanjing" that humiliated the country.

Facts have proved that after the West entered the industrial society ahead of schedule, in the face of the aggression of the Western powers, Confucianism not only could not save China, but also the stubborn Confucian officials actually became a stumbling block to the development of industry in China.

In any case, it is imperative to depose Confucianism, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, Li Zhongyi will not hesitate to do it!

Li Qiniang was born in a family of military generals, and her perception of the ministers was average, and it was impossible for her to speak for those Confucian students. Since the man has made up his mind, it is naturally impossible for her to continue to talk about those useless nonsense.

"How's the sixth brother?" Li Zhongyi hugged Li Qiniang and whispered, and suddenly remembered the sixth son of the emperor.

"When the concubine came, he had just finished feeding and slept soundly." When Li Qiniang mentioned her son, she couldn't help but feel soft, and she missed it very much.

"Let's go, see him go." Li Zhongyi had simply finished reviewing the chapter, so he took Li Qiniang's little hand and went to the Qingshou Palace.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Counselor Liu, the emperor is furious today, why don't you dissuade him?"

After Li Zhongyi returned to the palace, Liu Jinshan was surrounded by a group of important ministers, and everyone accused him of not helping the Confucian scholars speak.

Li Qiong is the prime minister of the dynasty and Li Qiniang's grandfather, and everyone does not dare to make a mistake in front of him.

Zhe Congruan is also an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and when he was the prime minister, most of the important ministers present were still studying hard at home, and no one dared to accuse him to his face.

However, among the cabinet ministers, Liu Jinshan has the least qualifications, and the ministers who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard surrounded him, wanting to seek justice.

"Cui Zhengxun, who had fallen to his death, shouted that he was a traitor and a traitor who jumped off a building and committed suicide, which is an extremely serious provocation to the imperial power. Do you agree with his fallacy? Liu Jinshan glanced at the audience coldly, he didn't want to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of things.

Liu Jinshan blocked everyone's mouths with one mouth, Cui Zhengxun, that idiot, actually gave Li Zhongyi a big hat of a usurper and a traitor, this is simply a cheat.

"The Zhou family is immoral, and the emperor replaces it, are you not convinced?" Liu Jinshan is not a vegetarian, since these want to pinch soft persimmons, then try it, see who is a bad seed, right?

Liu Jinshan split his head and covered his face with a big hat buttoned down, but everyone was stunned, and they were speechless for a while.

Li Zhongyi took the rivers and mountains of the Zhou Dynasty, and in addition to the Yunzhou and other places controlled by the Northern Han Dynasty, he had already taken back the most essential part of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Not only that, Li Zhongyi also drove the expedition in person, destroying Wu Yueguo with his left hand and Southern Tang with his right hand. As far as the territory is concerned, it has recovered almost half of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor, the strong soldier and the strong horse!

As long as you are a scholar, you can understand this truth, and it is impossible for the scholars present not to understand this!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am also a scholar, so I naturally understand the hard work of ten years of hard study. However, today is different from the past, and the emperor is not the emperor of the previous dynasty. It is imperative for hundreds of schools of thought to contend, and to learn from miscellaneous subjects. "Liu Jinshan, as a minister cultivated by Li Zhongyi, he can naturally understand Li Zhongyi's good intentions.

Not to mention anything else, just the big killer of the imperial forbidden army, artillery, requires a large number of craftsmen who were not valued before.

I think that at the beginning, when Li Zhongyi raised his troops to enter Beijing, he easily defeated the more than 200,000 troops led by Han Tong by relying on artillery bombardment.

The Son of Heaven cares for the four people, Shinong and industrialist, and treats everyone equally, this is the original words that Li Zhongyi once said, and Liu Jinshan has always remembered it vividly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is useless for you to surround me here, the emperor has already made up his mind, and he must learn from miscellaneous subjects. Instead of making trouble unreasonably, you should go home and supervise your own reading seeds, and quickly change your ways, it's not too late! Liu Jinshan's attitude was more resolute than Li Zhongyi's.

I think that at the beginning, Liu Jinshan repeatedly participated in the Jinshi examination, but he was defeated by Sun Shan many times, and the painful lesson made him shudder.

"Counselor Liu, could it be said that the children of Confucianism should be dwarfs?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Liu Jinshan's face was straight, and he said sharply: "For thousands of years, the children of Confucianism have been enjoying the preferential treatment of superior people, aren't they still satisfied?" What's more, the emperor did not discriminate against Confucian students, but just treated them equally. ”

The ministers present were not fools, and they all knew Liu Jinshan's weight.

Since Kong Kun was demoted to Lingzhou, it has been rumored inside and outside that Liu Jinshan will take over the position of prime minister.

Li Qiong is old, and she is not young anymore, and the two of them are just the prime minister and vice minister in the transitional period.

Liu Jinshan is only in his 40s this year, and once he sits on the throne of prime minister, as long as he does not make big mistakes, he can sit firmly in the prime position for at least eight to ten years.

"Choi Jung-hoon is really damn ......"

Everyone had no tricks, so they had to complain about Cui Zhengxun's dead ghost, if it weren't for him shouting the words "usurper and traitor", the situation would not have taken such a sharp turn.

Liu Jinshan secretly sneered, the emperor's attitude of attaching importance to craftsmen and miscellaneous subjects has been extremely resolute.

As the saying goes, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, if by this time, the trend is not clear, then it is time to step down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, instead of surrounding me, why don't you go back and think about how to write a plea for sin?" Liu Jinshan is really bad, he deliberately didn't open the pot.

The Confucian Group and the Wenchen Group are originally one and the same, when Zheng Congshan and others secretly engaged in tandem, even if the people present did not dare to get involved, they always met with Zheng Congshan and them, had a meal, and drank a bar?

According to the habit of liking melons and vines, anyone who mixes with the reverse case will definitely not end well.

For a while, everyone in the civil servants was in danger, and they ended hastily and dispersed with a bang.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Li Yunxiao, who held the military power in the capital, sat at a table with Li Yanqing and Zuo Ziguang, and the soldiers of the Nine Commanders Yamen under him, with the cooperation of the Ti Cavalry Division and the Police Temple, carried out a carpet raid from house to house against the list.

To put it bluntly, Li Yunxiao has long seen these Confucian students unpleasant. As soon as the power is in hand, the order will be carried out, as long as there are so-called Confucian scholars or Confucian ministers with names and surnames on the list, it is impossible to let go of any of them.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "This is a pot, I didn't expect that Cui Zhengxun would dare to be so presumptuous." ”

Zuo Ziguang glanced at Li Yanqing, who was happy, and then at Li Yunxiao, who was silent, he was actually very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Since the rise of the Hechi army, the three of them have followed Li Zhongyi's left and right, throwing their heads and spilling blood, and finally won the country, why should they give it to Yu Wenchen?

Now, the three of them were happy that hundreds of scholars or Confucian scholars who were on the list had been severely punished and that their children and grandchildren were never allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

"It's been busy for a while, and it's finally over." Li Yunxiao smiled faintly, "If it weren't for Cui Zhengxun who angered the emperor, I'm afraid the matter would not have ended so smoothly." ”

Zuo Ziguang saw that Li Yunxiao and Li Yanqing were secretly looking at him, and he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, hehe, Cui Zhengxun's unscrupulous shocking jump was actually a drama directed by him.

According to the agreement reached between Zuo Ziguang and Cui Zhengxun, as long as Cui Zhengxun acts according to the plan, his wife and concubine, as well as the life of his only son, can be saved.

Otherwise, Choi Jung-hoon's whole family will be buried together.

What is Tikisi?

Maintaining the stability of the country is not a dinner party, let alone an elegant article, but a life-and-death struggle.

Even if Li Yunxiao and Li Yanqing keenly guessed a little bit of the inside story, but Zuo Ziguang's mouth, except for Li Zhongyi, no one could pry it open.

If the minister is not secret, he will lose, and if he is not secret, he will not succeed!
