Chapter 363: The General Trend

After all, the Central Plains is not Jiangnan, and the snow is still quite thick in the first month.

The streets and alleys, because to welcome the arrival of the Son of Heaven, have long been cleaned, there are no pedestrians on the main street, but the restaurants on both sides of the bustling street by the Bianhe River are crowded with characters.

All kinds of well-informed people gathered here, lowered their voices, and discussed with a little mystery and excitement about the Son of Heaven who was patrolling Bianliang.

"The Son of Heaven is here, it is said that it is to return the capital, and the Son of Heaven intends to move the capital from Lin'an back to Bianliang." A fat man in a thick cotton jacket sat closest to the stove, and he still looked cold.

He wore six large gold rings on his hands, and from time to time he reached out to the eyes of others to fiddle with them, making him smell of an upstart from top to bottom.

In the past nine years, Bianliang City has been full of opportunities to make a fortune, and those who are quick to see and move, such as this one, have saved millions of belongings for themselves, a few pure gold rings are nothing, and there are even more arrogant, feeding dogs with gold and silverware, or buying a large piece of chicken in another yard.

"Is it really all Bianliang?" The fat man is a celebrity in this restaurant, and everyone knows that he has some connections in the official mansion, and someone immediately came up and said, "Peng Dong's family has inside information?" ”

"Hehe...... "Hey, hey" The fat man smiled, not admitting or denying it, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Tell me more, Xiao Er, give Peng Dongjia another pot of good wine, what kind of beer do you want!" That's the humanity that came together.

This beer is also a kind of wine that came back from overseas, with Peng Fatzi's net worth, he naturally doesn't care about such a pot of wine, but he is very happy to be noticed by dozens of people in the restaurant. When the money is earned to the point where he can get the attention of everyone, it has become a more important pursuit. He cleared his throat and subconsciously turned the pure gold ring on his finger: "Tell you, you don't have to pass it on outside, let alone say that it was said by me Peng Zuwang." ”

"Say it quickly, let's talk about it, what does Lao Peng sell!" Someone urged impatiently.

"I got the news that there is a Taoist chief who is very good at choosing a house in the retinue of the Son of Heaven, think about it, if it is not for the matter of building a palace in the capital, what will the Son of Heaven do with this Taoist leader?" Peng Fatzi said: "Moreover, I heard that the Son of Heaven is the golden immortal who Lu Zu has enlightened and descended......

"Absurd!"

A scholar snorted lowly, but the people in the restaurant were listening to the fat man, and his voice was so low that no one heard him except for the people sitting in the same seat.

Sitting with him was a middle-aged man, in his thirties, who looked very well maintained, obviously out of wealth. Hearing his words, he said with a smile: "Brother Tai is invited." ”

The scholar knew that he was a little speechless, and when he heard the voice of the people in the same seat, he knew that he was in trouble, and his face couldn't help showing a stupid look, he was not old, and he reluctantly hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, what do you have to say?" ”

"Brother Fang Cai said that what Peng Fat Man said is absurd, I don't know if you can point out a few points?" The middle-aged man said.

"Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused." Scholar Dao.

"Why does the gentleman avoid the truth and make up for it?" The middle-aged man smiled: "I know that what I am asking about is not a strange thing, but what is the purpose of the Son of Heaven's trip." ”

"Looking at the appearance of my brother's platform, he should be literate and literate, if he reads the newspapers in the past few days, he will naturally know." The scholar still didn't answer directly.

"The detention is in the body, there is no time to be distracted, if Brother Tai thinks that it is still worth intersecting below, please also solve the doubts for the next." The middle-aged man said.

Being a good teacher is a common disease of people, and in those who have read some books, this common disease is the most serious, since ancient times, most of the drowning people are good swimmers, and in the same way, those who are good at selling their tongues are also mostly people who read. The scholar was no exception, and he was a little vigilant at the beginning, but the middle-aged man had a sincere attitude and asked for advice many times, which made him feel at ease, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering: "Since Your Excellency said so, it is not easy for the little student to be silent...... What is your name? ”

"You are exempt from the country, and a single name is a people."

"National...... National...... That's a good name. The scholar couldn't help but laugh, but when he heard the attendant behind the middle-aged man snort coldly, he immediately realized that he was rude, so he apologized: "The name of Brother Tai is too strange, Xiaosheng forgot his form for a while, and please forgive me, Xiaosheng's surname is Zheng, his name is Qiong, and the word Yujing." ”

"Please also ask Mr. Yujing to solve my doubts." The humanity that claims to be a citizen.

"Since the "Great Song Times Weekly" ceased publication, "Great Song Daily" has become the mouthpiece of the Son of Heaven, and if you want to know the meaning of the Son of Heaven, you must read "Great Song Daily". In the past few days, "Da Song Daily" has been all about the news of the Son of Heaven's northern tour, especially the two sentences that the Son of Heaven said when he was at the station...... Obviously, when Lin'an Tianzi said this, he was not taken seriously, and he deliberately said it to Bianliang. ”

When Zheng Qiong said this, her voice was lowered: "The Son of Heaven intends to implement the reform of the official system, and originally reached a compromise with Shilin, but there have been disasters and changes in the past year, and there are quite a lot of criticisms in Shilin. When the Son of Heaven came to Bianliang, he actually warned the villains who surrounded the Son of Heaven that if they were to restrain and contain them again, then the Son of Heaven would have to start a new stove and let them be covered up like the characters last year. ”

The self-proclaimed national smiled: "Mr. Yujing is so wise that even the Son of Heaven can figure it out...... But why didn't the Son of Heaven say this in Xuzhou, not go to Yanjing to say this, but come to Bianliang? ”

"This is naturally related to the real father." Guo Qiong said with a smile: "Now there are only three people who are expected by the world, Lin'an Wei Liaoweng, Bianliang Zhendexiu, and Northeast Yelu Chucai, these three people are really talented prime ministers." Wei Liaoweng is in Beijing, there are many corrupt Confucians around him, so he is controlled step by step, Yelu Chucai is in the northeast, the road is far away, and although the northeast is developing fast, after all, the foundation is poor, and the status in my Great Song Dynasty is not high. Only the true father, the town of the Central Plains has been nearly ten years, the government and the people are harmonious, in the previous official reform policy launched, the real prince had ascended a shout, helped the Son of Heaven, such as today the son feels in trouble, naturally to find the true father. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable." The self-proclaimed citizen nodded and laughed.

He didn't know where the custom came from, what kind of powder was applied to his face, and after he smiled, the powder on his face fell straight down. Zheng Qiong was a little unhappy by his laughter, and said slightly annoyed: "Mr. Guo laughed, I think I don't think so, I don't know where Zheng said something wrong?" ”

"No, no, Mr. Zheng is right, Guo has been taught......" the surname Guo said.

"Hmph...... Hey? Zheng Qiong snorted, and was about to say more, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, pointing at the people, and her face changed color.

"Shhhh The nation lowered his voice.

"Yes, yes!" Zheng Qiong responded in a cold sweat.

He loves to read newspapers, so he naturally saw the face of the Son of Heaven in the newspaper, and when he was just now, because the person in front of him was cleverly dressed up, he didn't recognize it, but when he noticed that the other party's face was powdered, he immediately realized that this self-proclaimed national was actually today's son. Thinking that he actually made a big statement in front of the Son of Heaven and took out the things he had guessed to offer treasures, Zheng Qiong was annoyed.

Right and wrong is just because you are strong, if you don't have much to do and talk more, where will you fall into the current embarrassing situation!

Zhao Heju saw that he was sweating, and smiled slightly: "Mr. has the talent of Kong Ming Longzhong's countermeasures, why doesn't Zhuge have the measure of being in battle?" ”

"Don't dare, minister...... Zheng was rude, the nobleman was not to blame, and Zheng was also very uncomfortable in his heart. ”

This Zheng Qiong is really a madman, hearing the Son of Heaven ridiculing herself, she immediately restrained her fear and responded calmly. He still remembered Zhao Heju's order, and he only said one word as a minister, so he immediately changed his words to call himself Zheng, but he no longer dared to call Zhao Heju a brother and a brother.

Zhao and Ju asked some things about Bianliang again, and this time Zheng Qiong spoke much more cautiously, although he answered all questions, but he mostly said some things that were not trivial or serious, and did not involve the essence of the matter. Zhao Youju felt a little bored, sighed slightly, and left with Zheng Qiong.

Seeing Zhao Heju and a few people at the neighboring tables going downstairs one after another, Zheng Qiong wiped his sweat, and the shopkeeper came over to wipe the table with a smile at this time, seeing that he was still trembling, he smiled and said: "Look at you, it is a great blessing to be able to eat at the same table with the Son of Heaven - don't worry, sir, if Mr. recognizes the Son of Heaven, the villain can't recognize it?" ”

"If you recognize it, why do you care so much?" Zheng Qiong exclaimed.

"The villain doesn't know much, I only know that our son of heaven is really doing things for the people, and I don't know how much better it is than those hypocrites of Qianjin. The Son of Heaven is truly for the people, so why should I, a small people, be afraid of it? ”

Zheng Qiong was stunned, and couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that I am conceited and full of scriptures, and my knowledge is not as good as that of a restaurant shopkeeper!" ”

Not to mention Zheng Qiong's emotion, after Zhao Heju went downstairs, he felt a little regretful in his heart, with the development of photographic technology, almost all newspapers of the Song Dynasty have special photographers, so there are more and more photos of him in the newspaper, and it is becoming more and more difficult to play this trick of private interviews. In Lin'an, now he will be recognized as soon as he goes out, but he didn't expect to run to Bianliang, and the same is true.

"Find a place for me to wash my face, I'll be recognized anyway, so I don't need to cover my ears and steal the bell." He said to the dragon beside him a little helplessly.

"Yes." Dragon Twelve was as taciturn as ever.

Zheng Qiong's guess is not outrageous, at least half of Zhao Heju's northern tour is to sober up the officials in Lin'an City who have become somewhat conservative through their words and deeds in the north. Because of the telegraph, he can now handle state affairs normally in any place where there is a railway and telegraph in the Great Song Dynasty, and his rule is also very solid in the past 16 years, so leaving the center of Lin'an for a month or two will not have much side effects.

During his northern tour, newspapers of all sizes naturally reported in detail on his words and deeds along the way, and the signals he sent through these words and deeds were enough to deter those with increasingly conservative vested interests.

It has been 16 years since the reform of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rapid development of the economy and the rapid transformation of society have made the Great Song Dynasty form a new vested interest group. What Zheng Qiong did not expect was that if it was the most stubborn conservative forces who opposed the reform of the bureaucracy the year before last, it was these newly born vested interest groups that used various natural disasters to advocate a slowdown in the pace of reform last year and this year. They clearly understand that by virtue of the lack of rigor and loopholes brought about by innovation and transformation, they have obtained benefits that do not belong to them, and if the innovation goes deeper, it will inevitably touch their interests. They used to be pioneers in the first days of innovation, but when innovation came to them, they became turtles.

Zhao and Ju understand better that there is no way to stop the innovation at this point. If the upper echelons of society are not able to adapt to the change, it will create new divisions and even cause violent internal turmoil. Therefore, the new interest groups that have become turtles must be whipped with a whip to make them move forward. Zhao Jingyun is a whip that whips them, but Zhao Jingyun's foundation is too shallow, and it is easy to be broken by them, but Zhen Dexiu is not, not only is he a high and powerful position, but more importantly, Zhen Dexiu is famous all over the world, and his disciples are all over the court. Therefore, Jin Deok so is the most suitable whip for whipping those turtles.

The pace of innovation can only continue, and must not be stopped.

"The Son of Heaven, it turned out to be the Son of Heaven!" After washing his face, he was quickly recognized when he walked on the streets of Bianliang. Almost instantly, hundreds of residents came to watch, and Zhao and Ju simply stopped and helped up those who were still kneeling and worshipping one by one.

He went out in micro-clothes, and Zhen Dexiu naturally got the news, but the Son of Heaven was interested, and Zhen Dexiu was not easy to stop, but sent someone to follow from afar. After discovering this scene, the people who followed immediately panicked, and while reporting back, they came up to separate the people. Zhao and Ju scolded twice, and they reined in a little, but they still surrounded Zhao and Ju tightly, for fear that there would be one or two bold and reckless people among the people.

It's just ten minutes later, the people who heard the news have surrounded the streets, and after a while, the guards sent by the Bianliang Mansion and the guards who came with Zhao and Ju arrived one after another, Zhao and Ju sighed, and they were in a high position, so they were not free.

When he saw that there were more and more people watching, he moved the people from their chairs, stood on the chairs himself, and made a gesture to the crowd. Everyone knew that the Son of Heaven had something to say, and gradually quieted down, he looked around, and then said: "I am carried by the heavens, and I have to hold the great treasure, and I will be in ten years and seven years." The so-called heavenly vision is my people's view, heaven hearing is my people's listening, and the people's will is the will of heaven. I am here today to dare to ask you the people of the Great Song Dynasty, is the national policy of innovation in the past ten years good or not? ”

"Good!" Naturally, someone answered in the crowd, and immediately, good shouts were in unison.

"If it's a good idea to innovate, should we continue to innovate in the future?" Zhao and Ju waited for everyone to calm down and then said.

"Yes!" This time, before anyone could respond, the people made a sound like a tsunami.

Zhen Dexiu, who rushed to hear the news, heard the words "good" and "want", and showed a wry smile on his face. Xie Yue next to him stroked his palms and sighed: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and extraordinary people have extraordinary means!" ”

"The Son of Heaven is coerced by public opinion......" Zhen Dexiu said with some hesitation.

"It's really wrong, the Son of Heaven is not coercing public opinion, but conforming to public opinion!" Xie Yue resolutely interrupted his words and pointed at the people who were so excited that their faces were flushed: "Look, which of these people is pre-arranged?" The people have a saying in their hearts, the Son of Heaven, the government, and the court, if it is for the people, they can naturally call it good or bad! ”

"The Son of Heaven has this public opinion as the momentum, and has taken advantage of the time, place and people, all those who dare to obstruct this public opinion will be torn to pieces by the public opinion, true justice, the trend of the times, and cannot be reversed!"
