In fact, whether it is the promotion of literature and the suppression of martial arts, or the jealousy of colleagues, people with a little political acumen know that it is the need of political struggle, and the root cause is that the boss must be reliable. For example, Wang Shao of the Shenzong Dynasty and Zhang Qi of the Zhezong Dynasty were all supported by the emperor, so they were able to show their talents and die a good death. Liu Zhixue has followed the little emperor for many years, and firmly believes that the little emperor will not do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the current time is still when the donkey is still needed.

But Liu Zhixue is still wary of those civil servants in the court, although they have reined in under the suppression of the little emperor in recent years, but he also understands that in fact, the open and secret battles between civil and military forces have not stopped, but they are more obscure and lack appropriate timing. Once there is an excuse, usually those people will jump out of the group to attack it, they can't help the little emperor, but they can take advantage of their own mistakes.

Of course, everyone also understands the reason, so they all agree with Liu Zhixue's proposal, and report it to His Majesty truthfully first, so as to avoid being deceived by the saint, and can also take the opportunity to ask for a reduction in punishment. At the same time, it can also allow the little emperor to prepare for the attack of the ministers, so as not to suddenly learn that he will be passive. As for the court learning of the 'Shouzhou Victory' later than His Majesty, there are 10,000 excuses to prevaricate.

After reaching a consensus, the generals of the Second Army drafted a war report to the little emperor, detailing the difficulties faced in the siege, the preparations for the battle, the formulation of the battle plan, and the unexpected consequences caused by the bombing of the city, and a series of aftermath measures taken after the battle. At the same time, he expressed deep guilt for causing heavy casualties among the people and asked for punishment.

The good news for the imperial court is naturally much briefer, and the content is also to avoid the important and light, and the results achieved are more than the losses caused, but the death of 60,000 people still looks particularly dazzling. At Liu Zhixue's insistence, the newspapers were all jointly signed by him and Ma Ying, the two military and political chiefs, in addition to protecting the accidents of the generals, he also understood that the joint name of the generals had the meaning of 'coercion', for fear of arousing the disgust of the little emperor, and things were not beautiful.

After staying in Shouzhou for three days, the Second Army continued to advance north as planned, crossing the Vortex River to Suzhou to join the vanguard and prepare to capture Fuli. After that, the march was extremely smooth, and often as soon as the artillery was fired, the enemy troops fled, and they were extremely afraid of the artillery, and rarely engaged. After inquiry, I learned that the fire in Shouzhou also had an unexpected effect, and the fleeing crowd spread the tragic situation in Shouzhou after the war to all directions, in addition to the terrifying fire scene, and there were many more legends.

Shouzhou was the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and according to metaphysics, there are dragon veins in the places where the capital is established, so as to be able to excel in the heavenly spirits. In fact, modern people understand that it is a swirl caused by the flow of hot and cold air after the fire, which is commonly known as a tornado. But the ancients did not know, there was a Song army's artillery can not only open mountains and crack stones, but also kill gods and demons, the dragon that protects Shouzhou was injured by the Song army's artillery fire, and abandoned the city, which led to the destruction of the city in the fire......

Although Xuyi City was temporarily away from the war, it was still filled with a tense atmosphere, and the official documents from all over the world and the battle reports from various battlefields were gathered here, and they were distributed from here as edicts. Zhao Yu was still very busy, in addition to reviewing the medals, he also had to coordinate the progress of the various armies and urge the imperial court to step up the delivery of grain, grass, ordnance and materials to the front line, mobilize soldiers, and make material reserves for the next big war.

And there are naturally discordant things in the snowflakes-like music, there are those who make small reports, there are those who make suggestions, and there are those who reach out to officials in the name of contributing to the country, anyway, all kinds of things are boring, which makes Zhao Hao's already heavy pre-case work worse, and he has to set aside time to deal with these bullshit, otherwise some people will say that you don't pay attention to talents and don't like to admonish.

Zhao Yu also knew that admonition had been institutionalized since the Tang Dynasty, and it had become a sign of whether the emperor was stupid and wise. From the bottom of his heart, he is not averse to advice, which is also an important channel to understand social conditions, listen to public opinions and discover talents. But some people use this channel as a ladder for advancement, a tool to crack down on dissidents, and take advantage of the emperor's 'good face' characteristics to have to pay attention to his nonsense. And this is all due to the tireless 'clear talk' of literati for thousands of years.

The phrase "Qing talk misleads the country" is familiar to modern people. So, what is "clear talk"? Why did the ancient intellectuals, especially the bureaucratic and doctorate class, like to "talk clearly"?

The meaning of Qing Tan covers a wide range of meanings, and in the long course of history, it often changes from time to time and from place to place. But there are two characteristics that remain the same, one is that pure talk corresponds to common talk, and it must talk about noble topics. Like where we usually like to discuss where a new restaurant has opened, and which horse has Wang Lao Wu soaked, this kind of vulgar thing should be excluded from Qing Talk.

Second, a person who talks clearly must be a person of culture. For example, the workers, peasants and soldiers are concerned about the four seasons of agriculture and the defense of the country, and these are also mundane affairs, and they cannot participate in the Qing talks. At the beginning, the content of Qing Tan was mainly about academics. Because ancient Chinese scholarship did not have natural sciences and did not emphasize experiments, the improvement of scholarship mainly depended on exchanges through talks.

This situation changed by the time of the Two Jin Dynasty. Because at that time, the gate valve monopolized the step of entry, the so-called "high-grade no cold door, low-grade no warriors". First, you don't need to look at your work results, and second, you don't need to take the imperial examination at that time. As long as he is a child of a big family of scholars, he is born with the capital to be a big official. In this way, there is naturally no need to care about practical things, and the children of the gate valve are born with a sense of superiority, so they are even more reluctant to talk about secular topics. Matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood, natural physics, military politics, etc., are all regarded as things that lower their status. On the contrary, if anyone can "talk" and make people stunned, he will be regarded as having a high level.

So at that time, it was a discussion in the court and in the opposition, and no one cared about serious things. There are even state and county officials who drink and talk behind closed doors as soon as they take office, and they don't know how much the local population is and how much they pay taxes during their years in office. At the time, this was regarded as "pure and unconventional", and it was proud of it. Everyone is going to follow suit. Even after a long time, there are still people who continue to admire, and there are verses such as "Poor Eastern Jin Dynasty is the most romantic". This is the origin of what later generations said "pure talk misleads the country".

Qing Tan also has an inseparable brother, that is, Qing Yi. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the sweep of the Central Plains by foreign tribes and the melee of warlords destroyed the social foundation of the clan of the gate lords. The Sui and Tang dynasties initiated the imperial examination, and broke the monopoly of the scholars on personnel, intellectuals from poor families could participate in politics, officials had to be assessed regularly, and Qing Tan had to die properly, and it was replaced by Qing Yi.

Unlike Qing Talks, Qing Discussions consisted of discussing politics and aimed at the politics and personalities of the time. Qing Yi is the twin brother of Qing Tan. The fate of intellectuals in ancient times was always closely related to politics, so when we talked about it, it was natural to look at current affairs and evaluate people. As early as the end of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were in power, and officialdom became a buying and selling field. The scribes in the opposition had no reason to advance, and they hated the corruption of the political situation, so they "exalted their husbands and discussed with the judges".

From this, it can be seen that the Qing Symposium was originally the patent of the opposition. Because I care about it and can't get involved, I only have to "discuss". Of course, not everyone can discuss it. These "parliamentarians" are all so-called Qingliu, that is, pure cultural people. No matter how rich a wealthy businessman is, he is not qualified to negotiate, and later he even entered the official career without relying on the imperial examination, or climbed up with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, he could not be regarded as a clear stream.

Compared with Qing Talks, it is obviously a big step forward, and it is based on the philosophy of joining the WTO. Because of the Qingliu morale, they are not afraid of the powerful, advocate honesty and justice, and expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials. If there were different schools and doctrines in the Jin Dynasty, then since the Song Dynasty, the morality and values of the scholars have been highly unified. Their clear discussion is often unanimous, and its benefits are ruined.

At that time, the bureaucrats from the scribe class in the society valued honor and honor, and they were all influenced by both the government and the opposition. The Qing Dynasty has become the guide of political public opinion and the vane of current affairs, so that the rulers have to pay attention to it, because behind it is the soil of the entire feudal bureaucracy - the scholar class.

Of course, in any era, there is a distinction between mainstream culture and non-mainstream culture. On the other hand, Zhao Yu also thinks that it is not a bad thing to like to study current affairs, but once it is divorced from reality, nonsense will become a disaster. Because they always treat political affairs and people from a moral point of view. The discussion of government affairs also preempts the moral high ground first, rather than focusing on quantitative standards. In fact, it is not surprising that Confucianism is originally a moral philosophy, and it is also the foundation of their existence. But the style of Qing discussion is so prevalent, what kind of help it will have for the people of the country, Zhao Hao thought it was difficult to say.

Take the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty as an example, there are many people who want to do something, but whenever they want to do some reforms, they always encounter strong resistance from the Qing Dynasty. Many reforms to strengthen national defense and improve people's livelihood cannot be implemented. The Southern Song Dynasty has long been partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Northern Expedition has been difficult to succeed, in addition to the reasons for the emperor's mediocrity and the corruption of the government, it can be said that the Qingliushi doctor is responsible for more than half of the responsibility. It can be said that the style of clear discussion has few successes and many failures.

In Zhao Yu's memory, when Qing Tan reached the peak of his peak, it should have been in the Ming Dynasty. But he felt that the current Qing talk was also getting more and more intense, and he felt that he had not done anything that was angry and hurtful, but the voices of opposition have been constant. For this reason, he also reflected on it, thinking that his series of reforms still moved the cheese of some scholars, so that they were openly and secretly resisted.

In the end, Zhao Yu ignored the public opinion of the government and the opposition, and forcibly implemented it with the help of the army, which further stimulated their 'ferocity'. Since the Northern Expedition, all kinds of voices have been in the dust, and even several prime ministers have been involved, and they have been scolded as treacherous ministers who help and abuse......
