"Alas, comfort is lazy! However, this early dynasty is really not human, so early, the sky is not bright, ah, it takes people's lives. It is no wonder that many kings since ancient times have been reluctant to go to the early dynasty. ”

Li Qi stood on the edge of the bed, yawning and muttering as he let Yelu Guyu put on his official uniform. Yesterday, the decree of Ri had come down, restoring all his official titles, and also punishing some of the ministers who impeached him, which was not a simple punishment, but a direct demotion, which symbolized the victory of the imperial power and the majesty of the imperial power. By the way, he must go to the court today, after all, our Master Li has no interests, and he will never consciously go to the early court.

Yelu Guyu shook his head helplessly and said, "Husband, don't complain, now some people are afraid that they will not have a chance to go to this early dynasty." ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and gossiped: "Are you-your father also a king who doesn't love the court?" But as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and said, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, and you don't need to answer." ”

Yelu Guyu said lightly: "It's okay, anyway, my Liao country has existed in name only, my father and he often go out hunting, and he goes for a month or two, where to use kung fu to go to the court, not only that, even if the ministers take it to find their father, they often can't find anyone." ”

The voice is full of self-deprecation.

Oh yes, I almost forgot that Yelu Yanxi is a professional hunter. Li Qi smiled and said nothing.

After dressing, Li Qi had a hearty breakfast with Yelu Guyu, because he told Ji Hongnu last night that he should pay more attention to rest, and he didn't have to get up to serve him in the morning, so he didn't bother Ji Hongnu, but explained a few words to Ji Hongnu's two aunts, and then went out.

On the main hall.

After several battles, this time in the early dynasty, the civil and military officials finally arrived, whether it was a reformist or a conservative, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this battle is finally over, especially for conservatives, this period of riddles is really dark, restless, and if they continue to play, they will really go crazy. Therefore, even if they lose, they feel much lighter, anyway, who can predict the future situation, there are opportunities, and they don't care about the victory or defeat of this dynasty.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

"Your Majesty."

Song Huizong's face was full of wind, his eyes glanced at the ministers, and finally fell on Li Qi, and said, "Is the economic envoy coming?" ”

"Wechen is here."

Li Qi quickly stepped forward.

Song Huizong smiled: "Li Qi, I was to you at the beginning, can you be convinced?" ”

Li Qi hugged his fists and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen is very convinced by the emperor's reasons for sending Weichen. ”

Song Huizong heard what he said, and couldn't help but sigh, "What is the reason you mean?" ”

"Taizu precepts." Richie said cleanly.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were all surprised, and they all thought, what trick is this kid playing.

However, the smile on the corner of Song Huizong's mouth became thicker and thicker, and he said: "But the people of the world feel wronged for you, and even feel deep hatred for many scholars and doctors because of this. ”

Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the whole thing is down, the emperor, the scholars, the people, and the ministers are all victims. ”

"That's interesting."

Song Huizong smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that you would say good things for the scholar." ”

Li Qi said: "Weichen is just talking about things. ”

"Then I'd like to hear your opinion."

"Yes."

Li Qi lowered his head and said: "At the beginning, Taizu said that the descendants of the previous dynasty should be treated preferentially, and the scholars and doctors should not be killed, and no agricultural taxes should be imposed, otherwise the heavens will destroy them." First of all, the first one, showing Taizu's broad mind and benevolent heart, try to ask the Han Wu Tang Sect, who can do this. This second article, do not kill the scholar and the person who wrote the word, and lay the fine tradition of the speech of our dynasty, which is a great benefit, and who can do it from beginning to end, not only that, but it also inspires the people of the world to study hard, govern the country with knowledge, and create a hundred years of prosperity in our dynasty; This third article is even more commendable, never add to it, these four words can mean a qiē, no amount of beautiful words can replace these four words. Taizu's majestic talent and strategy are unprecedented, and we are courtiers, so we naturally have to follow Taizu's precepts. ”

Obviously, it was you who turned a deaf ear to Taizu's precepts at the beginning, and even criticized them for nothing, but now you are saying that it is really a god and a ghost. The ministers secretly scolded Li Qi for being too shameless.

"Good. You can say that again. Song Huizong laughed and said, "In this way, wouldn't it be against Taizu's precepts for me to use you again?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, what Weichen just said is that he is convinced by this reason, but for the reason of Zhishi, Weichen is 10,000 dissatisfied, not only dissatisfied, but also very distressed. ”

Song Huizong said: "How do you say this? ”

Li Qi glanced at the ministers and said, "Dare to ask you, what is a scholar?" What is a scholar? What is a reader? ”

This three questions in a row confused the ministers.

All of them are full of wealthy people, and these three questions are too simple for him, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can write tens of thousands of words of papers based on them.

However, because it was so simple, they didn't dare to answer, God knows if this was another trick from Li Qi, after all, Li Qi often surprises, and they are already frightened birds.

No, I just want a trust, do you need this, it's too hurtful. Li Qi saw at a glance that he knew everyone's thoughts well.

Even Song Huizong didn't dare to answer lightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Then I don't know what you think?" ”

It seems that I can only ask myself questions. Li Qi saw that they didn't answer with an iron heart, so he had to say: "Scholars and scholars won't say much, as for the scholars, Weichen thinks that no matter what, at least four words must be worthy." ”

"Those four words?"

"Respectable." Li Qi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"As it should be." Song Huizong nodded and said, "I don't know what you think?" ”

The emperor spoke, and the ministers naturally couldn't keep their mouths shut, and they all stood up and agreed.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Since everyone agrees, can I say that high morality and respect are a necessary condition for scholars, and on the contrary, those who do not have this cannot be called scholars." ”

Good boy, there is indeed a set.

When Cai Jing and the others heard this, they understood that this kid was redefining Taizu's precepts.

The ministers also suddenly realized, they couldn't imagine that they were already extremely cautious, and they still fell in love with this kid's way, but they couldn't deny it, because if anyone came out to oppose it, it would be clear that they were immoral, and people love face, especially for scholars.

And Li Qi is to grasp their weakness, and you who "praise" are speechless to refute.

Song Huizong nodded and said: "Of course, if you can't even deserve these four words, then how can you deserve the title of sergeant." ”

"That's what the emperor said." Li Qi arched his hand and said: "It can be seen that Taizu's original words were aimed at those honest and ambitious real scholars who can contribute to the country and share worries for the monarch, and are highly respected, rather than those fake scholars who sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, play the sign of a scholar, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and harm the people, they distort Taizu's words to justify their crimes, this is simply insulting Taizu and trapping Taizu in injustice. This is also why Wei Chen said that the scholars were also victims of this incident, and it was precisely because of the existence of these black sheep that the reputation of those real scholars was damaged. But then again, Weichen doesn't understand very much, why do people still mention these people to excuse themselves, don't they know that they have been used by those vicious people? Or is there something else in it? ”

Some of the ministers were terrified when they heard this, and they sweated profusely.

Song Huizong nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I don't understand this very well. I also want to ask those people, what do they think? ”

"Wechen is guilty."

Some of the ministers said in unison.

Song Huizong shook his head, ignored them, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, how do you think you should deal with this situation." ”

Li Qi said: "Obey Taizu's instructions. For those scholars and doctors who are highly respected, ambitious, the country, and the people, the imperial court should give corresponding favors, and pass on the fine traditions of our Great Song Dynasty since the founding of the country. However, for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, especially those who claim to be scholars and scholars, they should be punished by one more degree and severely punished, so as to set an example. If the Son of Heaven breaks the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, can the scholar still be above the Son of Heaven? ”

The ministers listened to it, it was hair erecting, and the crime was a big one. Li Qi looked at their expressions and secretly snickered, I can't kill you, but I will scare you to death.

A smile appeared at the corner of Song Huizong's mouth, and then he said: "Yes, you must remember that Taizu's words are not referring to those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but to the real well-educated people, for the latter, the court will definitely give preferential treatment, but if the scholar is corrupt and perverts the law, he should also be guilty of one more degree, and whoever intercedes for this kind of person in the future should be punished together." ”

"Ministers should be mindful."

The ministers bowed their heads, not only were they not annoyed, but they were secretly glad that Li Qi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely subvert the tradition of scholars controlling the imperial court, in other words, that is to say, the emperor just wanted to beat them, not to hate them, and wanted to eradicate them, and the imperial court would still be a scholar in the future. After all, everyone now knows that this matter was actually directed by Song Huizong and Li Qi, a pair of monarchs and ministers.

Good boy, he can be retracted and released freely at a young age, even if he wins a big victory, he is not carried away by the victory, this mind alone has surpassed many people, and it is no wonder that the emperor values him so much. Cai Jing smiled faintly, and the only worry in his heart also drifted away.

Although Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and others are on Li Qi's side, they all belong to the scholar class, and if Li Qi does it, they will never sit idly by.

No one could have imagined that on the first day of Li Qi's reign, the first thing he did was to rehabilitate the scholars, although Li Qi used this incident to eliminate part of the rights and interests of the scholars, but he still defended the core rights and interests of the scholars. Of course, he said this not for himself, for the sake of the truth, but for the sake of the emperor.

He knew very well in his heart that no matter what, the Zhao family would insist on governing the country with literati, and would never replace Wenchen with military ministers, just because the power of Wenchen was increasing with RI, although it would not be a rebellion, but it had already violated the imperial power, so the emperor had to find a way to balance the power of the scholars, which was why Song Huizong agreed to unite with him and deal with the scholars together.

But you can't do it, you must know that Song Huizong just wants to take back some of his power, and he will never be stupid enough to completely subvert the power of scholars. Therefore, he must grasp this degree well and not have the slightest deviation. Otherwise, if he doesn't manage whether it's on his side, the emperor must not let him succeed, this is the bottom line.

As a businessman, Li Qi naturally understands that if he wants to get the emperor's support, he must give the emperor enough benefits, as long as the emperor is happy, then his remuneration will naturally not be low, and a win-win situation is also the principle of his business all the time.

Therefore, the result of this battle, Song Huizong is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, after this incident, the power in his hands has increased a lot, and he can calmly face the scholar class, Taizu's precepts have also changed from a sharp weapon in the hands of scholars to a sharp weapon in his hands.

Obviously, Li Qi's thing is really in line with Song Huizong's intentions, it can be called perfect, not only suppressed the scholars, maintained the imperial power, but also did not break this tradition, the strength of the control is no more, no less, so that Song Huizong couldn't help but glance at Li Qi approvingly, and he paid more attention to Li Qi in his heart, this kid is too sensible and understands my mind too well. But this could not be said clearly, coughed lightly, and changed the topic: "Recently, many ministers have played, due to the repeated wars in our country in recent years, the price of grain has been rising, and it is not conducive to the country and the people, and I am also very worried. I don't know what you think about this matter? ”

It's time for me to get my last payment back. A strange smile tugged at the corner of Richie's mouth. (To be continued.) )
