Chapter 343: Confrontation

- The Grand Hall of the Royal Palace

Zhao Ji yawned and sat on the dragon chair, the melody of music was still ringing in his head, he waved his hand, and Yang Jian next to him said, "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat!" ”

One person came out and said, "The minister has this music!" ”

Zhao Ji looked at it and saw that it was Chen He, the imperial history, Chen He said, "The minister heard that there was a big case in Xingren Mansion, and the Liangshan thieves went down the mountain to plunder hundreds of literati, which is really unheard of, and the ministers participated in the crime of dereliction of duty in the prefects of Jeju Mansion, Puzhou Mansion and Xingren Mansion, and the crime of dereliction of duty and arsonance of the enemy in the three places such as the military and horse capital supervision and control!" ”

"Wow!"

Everyone was taken aback, of course, how many of them were really scared and how many were fake and they were scared is unknown.

"What a daring! Are the Liangshan thieves so arrogant? Plundered hundreds of literati, what did some thieves want literati to do? And how did they get there? Have they already begun to storm the city? Who can explain! Zhao Ji looked at the people below and asked.

"Official, the emergence of such a huge coward in Shandong is all caused by the new law, please depose the new law and restore the old law, so that it will inevitably be possible to Qinghai Yan and the country and the people!"

An old minister came out and said, Cai Jing squinted, okay, there are really people who are not afraid of death, it seems that he has been a little calm these times, but it makes these people forget the old man's methods!

"Official, the civil unrest in Shandong is also due to the fact that some local people spread the knowledge of merchants and craftsmen, so that the people do not believe in the way of the sage, this is the foundation of the civil unrest, please investigate it thoroughly!" Another person came out of the column and said.

Zhao Ji suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could it seem that these people below knew about this?

Although Zhao Ji has no talent for governing the country, he is a really smart person, and he is a qualified politician, he looked at the ministers below, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the most taboo thing for the superior is to be led by the nose by the people below.

"Master, what do you think of this matter?" Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and asked, just now someone said that the new law would be abolished, and Zhao Ji believed that Cai Jing would definitely make a move.

Cai Jing sneered in his heart, of course he wanted to make a move, not to mention that Jiang De honored him with a lot of treasures and money every year, nor did he say that it was for the foundation of the new law, even if it was for the sake of the Kong family, he would have to come out to fight, and the new law would be changed, just like Wang Anshi said, it is not enough to be afraid of the sky, not enough to be compassionate, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to abide by, and the Kong family is born to be a supporter of the old law.

"Your Majesty, there is something else going on in this matter!" Cai Jing said.

"Oh? The Taishi also knows about this, so let's hear it. Zhao Ji asked.

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Liangshan thieves are indeed rampant, and they have also taken the opportunity to break Qingzhou and other places, but they have never robbed scholars, this time it was the Liangshan thieves who wanted to sneak attack the glass factory in Xingren Mansion, but they heard the noise of people in a place, thinking that there were ambushes, and hurriedly went to check, but saw a group of scholars besieging an academy, and those thieves naturally took advantage of it, and when they saw so many scholars, they all arrested and wanted to exchange for ransom. ”

"Siege of the Academy?" Zhao Ji asked with interest, "What academy?" ”

Cai Jing looked at the ministers below and said, "It's a place called Tianxiang Academy, where all the people who teach arithmetic, law, and agricultural and industrial skills are just some bookkeepers, farmers, and small officials." ”

Zhao Ji continued to ask, "Then why are you besieging here?" ”

"Official! As a school, but do not teach the sage of the saying, this is the line of the strong, false and argumentative, official, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty lies in the deposition of the hundred schools, the sole respect for Confucianism, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lies in the opening of the imperial examination and the use of Confucian officials, the reason why my Great Song Dynasty is the country and the people, there is no chaos in the Han and Tang Dynasties, that is, Taizu, Taizong set to rule the world with scholars, with Confucianism to adjust yin and yang, now some people want to revive different learning, different learning is chaotic, the people are chaotic, the people are chaotic, Liangshan thieves are this example, officials, ministers, please arrest all the teachers and students of Tianxiang College, please catch the thieves behind it, The law of the country has been corrected! Another person came out to worship, his voice was vibrating, and he couldn't help nodding his head in praise of his dedication to the public.

"The thief behind it? Who? Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing.

Cai Jing replied, "Back to the official's house, Tianxiang Academy is a new jinshi, and it is funded by Jiang Zijun, this person is in the capital, you can ask each other!" ”

Jiang Xiaolangjun? Zhao Ji knocked on his head at this time, and remembered that the plaque that Xiang Academy had written by himself that day.

What do you mean? The place where you write your own plaque will actually be besieged? What's to be done?

Today the academy was besieged, what are you going to do tomorrow?

Zhao Ji was a little angry, but he couldn't have an attack, no one cared about the Liangshan thieves now, the so-called saint and humanity were the most important.

"Okay, recruit Jiang De to the court!" Zhao Ji also wanted to know what was going on, so he shouted, and after a while, Jiang De, who was wearing an official uniform, walked in, and Zhao Ji asked, "Jiang De, someone has participated in the establishment of a college to teach different theories, which disturbs the hearts of the people in the world, but is there such a thing?" ”

Jiang De squinted at several ministers who were glaring at him, and then saw Li Gang who was smiling bitterly, Li Gang winked at Jiang De, and then looked at one person, Jiang De understood, and bowed to Zhao Ji, "The lower officials want to confront him!" ”

"Accurate!"

Jiang De slowly walked up to the man and asked, "May I ask your name!" ”

When the man saw that Jiang De was so young, his eyes were even more contemptuous, and he snorted, "This official is the superintendent of the imperial history Zhao Ye!" ”

Jiang De nodded and asked, "May I ask Lord Zhao, do you have any evidence for me to spread heretology and cause civil unrest?" ”

Zhao Ye said sharply: "Isn't the Liangshan thief an ironclad proof?" Since the establishment of your Tianxiang Academy, there have been more and more thieves in Liangshan, isn't this because you have messed up the hearts of the local people? ”

"Boy, excuse me!" Jiang De said loudly as he looked at everyone and asked, "Who knows where Tianxiang Academy is located?" ”

"Xingren Mansion!"

"Where is Liangshan located?"

“... Yunzhou..."

Jiang De smiled and bowed to Zhao Ji, "Official, my academy is in Xingren Mansion, but it messed up Liangshan, I want to ask Lord Zhao, why don't you say that my academy messed up Luzhou?" The rebellion there has taken over the city! ”

Zhao Ye's eyes rolled and said, "Many of your Tianxiang students have come to Yunzhou as officials, and they are the ones who messed up Yunzhou!" ”

"Give examples of who and what you are! As long as Lord Zhao says it, he will immediately bring him and the bitter lord to confront Lord Zhao! ”

Zhao Ye was speechless for a moment, what are you doing, am I the imperial history, I am the one who hears the news, who will tell what evidence, if you want evidence, you should go to Dali Temple.

Jiang De snorted, "Although it is the imperial history, can it be framed at will?" There are a few of my Tianxiang students who are officials, but after all, they are just small officials, not to mention that they have not yet revealed who is a dirty official, that is, there really is, and it is also a personal character, and the college has something to do with it? Or is it that the local officials are not responsible for the trouble, and they are all responsible for doing things below? As long as Lord Zhao says yes, he will close the academy when he goes back! ”

Where does Zhao Ye dare to say that this is a word, he will have to mix in the officialdom in the future, and the people who do things below are all small officials, if he says yes today, don't do things again in the future, those small officials below will let him know what it means to be bitter and can't say it.

One person saw that Zhao Ye was stuck, and came out of the queue and said, "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to shake your lips here?" ”

Jiang De saw that it was an old man, and he was also a third- or fourth-grade official when he looked at his clothes, and immediately counterattacked, "Haoshou Horseman, the official family asked me to confront me here, why don't I dare?" ”

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on it, couldn't help but smile, this Jiang De is a master who refuses to suffer at all.

Jiang De knew that this time it was a battle against the water, if Tianxiang Academy was really characterized as a different school, then he had no other way than to go to Liangshan immediately to pull the flag and officially raise the matter, and those literati would definitely tear themselves apart and swallow them completely to protect their Taoism, and fill their pockets casually.

The old man's eyes were about to roll out when he was choked by a sentence, and another person came out and said, "I have the books of your Tianxiang Academy in my hand, please read them, there is a little bit of the way of a saint in them!" ”

Jiang De saw that he really took out a few books, which were manuscripts, with words such as mathematics, accounting, business, and workshop, and sure enough, they were textbooks of Tianxiang Academy.

Jiang De is not surprised, there are so many students in Tianxiang Academy, and a few of them are either bought or disseminated, and there will always be such books coming out.

Zhao Ji was also very curious, and said, "Pass it up and show it to me." ”

Yang Jian went down and took the book and handed it over, and Cai Jing also took a copy and flipped it up.

"It's... It's all the art of businessmen! ”

"What's all on this? Like a peach charm, can any of you understand it? ”

"And this one, look at it, the business of profit-seeking is actually written on paper, it is really shameless!"

"Look, there's this, what physics, saying that everything has a theorem, what do you say you punched me, I also suffered the same force, it's really nonsense, if that's the case, then the brawler doesn't have to be judged, anyway, he himself was beaten!"

Zhao Ji was also holding a physics book in his hand, he looked at the things written on it, and found that he couldn't understand most of them, and a feeling that he had never felt before came to his heart, what was this feeling? He doesn't understand, is it curiosity? No, absolutely not, it's a... Fear? Yes, it's a fear of the unknown.

Zhao Ji thought that he was extremely talented, and nothing could stump him, but now a book appeared that he couldn't read, and a feeling of losing his grasp made him uncomfortable.

"Hahahaha!" A minister stomped his feet and smiled, "No, no, this son actually said something that can lead the thunder and lightning down, you don't really think that you are a universal Tianzun, right?" I think this son wants to be a god and wants to go crazy, come on, come on, how about performing a palm thunder? ”

Quiet, deathly quiet, the minister felt something different in the air, swallowed his saliva, looked around, and found that everyone was looking at him like fools, he was looking up at Zhao Ji, and found that Zhao Ji's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yes, Jiang Zijun wants to be a Puhua Tianzun and wants to go crazy, so does I, Zhao Ji, just want to be the emperor and go crazy? Zhao Ji gasped and stared at that person, his heart was full of murderous intent, these literati, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, do you really think that I, Zhao Ji, can't hear it?

The corners of Jiang De's mouth are slightly curved, he is not afraid of god-like opponents, he is afraid of pig-like teammates, he does have a lot of knowledge in his books that cannot be recognized at this time, even if he has done experiments, these people may also say that they are secretly doing ghosts, but now it is different, Zhao Ji's mentality has changed, Jiang De turned back to the man and said, "It's just a little thunder, what's the difficulty in attracting it?" ”

"What?" "What did he just say? Can the thunder be cited? "Attract the best, kill this demon!"

Cai Jing shouted: "Can you know that you can't joke in front of you? ”

Jiang De said confidently, "Official, there is absolutely no untruth in what Tianxiang Academy teaches, and there is no illegal technique, those so-called peach charms are actually Tianzhu language, I think it is simple and convenient to calculate, so it is used in the account books, and it has been several years."

As for the agricultural workshop, don't I need these people in the Great Song Dynasty? If any of the adults say they don't need it, please go out and take off their clothes and crown for three years!

Speaking of the law, is it wrong to study the law so that the people can obey it? There is still any adult who thinks that my Great Song Law is wrong, if so, please come out!

Official, please be clear! ”

Zhao Ji was not interested in anything else now, he just wanted to know if what Jiang De just said was true, so he said, "Zijun, what you just said about the heavenly thunder?" ”

"The official, only five days, the lower officials are ready to stop, and they can lead the thunder in front of everyone!" Jiang De calculated and felt that five days should be enough.

Zhao Ji clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" I will give you five days, and if you can't do it after five days, what should you do? ”

Jiang De bowed and said, "The crime of bullying the king!" ”

Zhao Ye saw that the pair of monarchs and ministers seemed to have completely distorted the topic, so he hurriedly stepped forward again and said, "Official, the affairs of Tianxiang Academy have to be taken care of!" ”

Zhao Ji squinted at the man and said, "If Jiang De can't attract heavenly thunder, it is spreading false heresies, plus the crime of bullying the king, the crime is unforgivable, and the academy should naturally stop!" ”

Everyone is satisfied, no one believes that Jiang De can lead down the heavenly thunder, just kidding, since ancient times, there is no immortal who has been struck by thunder, are you really a Puhua Tianzun?

Zhao Ji left, everyone also dispersed in twos and threes, Li Gang smiled at Jiang De embarrassedly, but did not step forward, Jiang De also understood, he left alone, his surroundings were full of ridiculed expressions, no one believed that he could do it, only felt that he was really crazy, even Cai Jing and Li Gang felt that Jiang De had fought a little more this time... I'm still too young.

In a corner of the palace, Zhao Ji was sitting on a chair, and there was a person standing below, talking about something, that person was wearing an internal official clothes, and a sign on his waist moved slightly with this person's words, and the golden words of the Imperial City Division were faintly visible.

"Okay, you go down." Zhao Ji waved his hand to let the man go down, and the man left backwards, Zhao Ji touched his chin, his eyes floating.

It turned out to be the Kong family... Zhao Ji smiled, the emperors of every dynasty will have some ulterior power in their hands, and the Song Dynasty is the Imperial City Division.

It's just that the establishment of the Imperial City Division was originally for spying on news and listening to the hundreds of officials, and it also made a lot of contributions to the war in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

But such an institution is naturally hostile to the civil and military officials of the imperial court, no matter who is in power, they will find a way to suppress it, and the policy of the Northern Song Dynasty to strengthen the cadres and weak branches also makes the core military force in the capital of Kaifeng, so the Imperial City Division is less and less spying outside, and almost all of them are active near Kaifeng, which also makes Fang La's later move, Zhao Ji actually has to wait for Fang La to capture several states before knowing.
