The noisy sound of gongs and drums, the stunned sound of anchoring, and the sound of shouting trumpets and throwing cables sounded in the Lushunkou military port at the same time. The wharf was full of people who came to greet Hongru of the Southern Dynasty, led by the future father of the republic, who did not want to be the emperor's Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu is dressed in Confucian clothes today, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head and a long sword hanging from his belt.

Murong Wang, Ma Renwang, Lu Haowen, Lu Benzhong, Zhang Zhifeng, Zhang Zhixing, Lin Lingzhi, Fan Zhiwen and other northern Confucians, were clustered around Wu Haogu, all of whom were Confucian swords. It's very reasonable to look at!

The Hongru of the Southern Dynasty arrived at Lushun on a 7,500-material passenger boat. This passenger boat was driven from Jingdong Commercial City, Haizhou, and was the largest passenger boat under the Yuntai School Palace on Yuzhou Island and operated along the coast of Jingdong Road.

However, this large passenger boat is still a light boat in the surging East China Sea. The bumps along the way are really not very pleasant.

Li Gang and Mo Niangzi, who have been to the West and are accustomed to drifting at sea, are not doing much, and the two brothers Su Yu and Su Guo, who have been lecturing at Yuntai School Palace on Yuzhou Island for a long time, are also used to drifting at sea and do not get seasick. However, Wu Haowen, Hou Zhongliang and Yang Shi, who came from Kaifeng Mansion, were a little bad.

Especially Wu Haowen, who was seasick and dizzy, cried, and stopped doing it before he got around the Shandong Peninsula, crying and going back to the land. It was still Mo Niangzi's enlightenment, so she gritted her teeth and went to Lushun's mouth.

Now it's a boat for two people to carry off, and it looks like he's seriously ill, and he has lost a lot of weight, but he looks a lot more beautiful.

Wu Haogu on the dock was startled when he saw that his brother actually came to Lushun, and he looked like he was dying, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" How did you get to Lushun? ”

Wu Haogu thought that his brother had escaped from Kaifeng Mansion...... Could it be that Zhao Ji poisoned his relatives in Kaifeng Mansion because he wanted to establish a republic?

Wu Haogu asked nervously: "Second brother, how are my father and third brother?" ”

"Ah," Wu Haowen was dizzy, and he didn't understand what Wu Haogu meant, "Father was born at the beginning of the year, and his health is not bad, but he is a little fatter, and there is nothing wrong with him."

The third brother is also good, he reads well, and he is known as a prodigy in Qingcheng Primary School. I will definitely enter high school in the future! ”

"It's okay......" Wu Haogu sighed, "Second brother, how did you sneak out?" ”

Slide?

Wu Haowen glanced at Wu Haogu angrily, "The official family sent me!" He was very happy to learn that you broke through the millions of Liao soldiers and let Liaodong return to China, and sent me to congratulate him!

In addition, the official family also asked me to persuade you to stand on behalf of Liao, ascend the throne and become emperor in the north as soon as possible, and take the legal system of the Northern Dynasty from the hands of the Khitans......"

"What?" Wu Haogu was shocked by Wu Haowen's words, and looked at his younger brother with beads in his eyes, "What did you say?" Zhao, the official family wants me to ascend the throne in the Northland? ”

He had long known that someone would persuade him to enter, but he never thought that it was Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty official who took the lead in persuading him!

Wu Haowen nodded with difficulty, and said: "Big brother, that's what the official family means, after you call the emperor Liao, the two dynasties of the north and south will stand side by side as usual, not only as brothers to each other, never invade each other, but also to become in-laws." Princess Qingde is about to be married, and Yiyong has reached the age when she should start a family, so it is better to get married. ”

It's a big deal......

Wu Haogu was a little crying and laughing for a while.

Li Gang on the side was stunned when he saw Wu Haogu, and also interjected two sentences: "Mr. Yuntai, for the sake of the people of the world and the peace of the Quartet, you should ascend to the throne early!" ”

After speaking, Li Gang bowed a big bow.

"Mr. Yuntai, please think of the people in the world, or receive the mandate of heaven as early as possible, and ascend to the position of the Son of Heaven as soon as possible!"

"Mr. Yuntai, today's situation is the resurrection of my father, and I will persuade you to ascend the throne and become the emperor......"

Su Dongpo's two sons also followed and persuaded together!

"Mr. Yuntai, you are ordered by the principles of heaven, you are in the right position, and you are the ruler of the Northern Dynasty, which is the desire of the people!"

"Yes, there is no contradiction between being appointed by heaven as the king and the world being the public. Why should the gentleman waste food because of choking, not that is, the great position, so that the hearts of the people in the world fluctuate for no reason? ”

Well, Wu Haogu doesn't know what to say now. Obviously, I invited them to discuss the republic, but they all came to persuade them......

Why is the feudal imperial system so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Wu Haogu could only shake his head, "You have come from afar, and the major national affairs can be discussed later, so you should go to the pavilion to rest first." ”

……

The so-called pavilion is actually Wu Haogu's villa in Lushun, located on a hill in the northwest of Lushunkou, almost where the 20 highlands are located. Facing the harbor, it is very cool in summer and the scenery is good, so it is indeed a good place to sit and talk.

After settling down Hongru from the north, Wu Haogu did not ask his brother what Zhao Ji meant, but first found Li Gang.

"Boji, I didn't expect you to persuade you too."

"How? Can't I get the credit for persuasion? ”

"You're roasting me on the fire!"

"Roast on fire? Even the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has recognized it, what else is there to be afraid of? ”

"Why don't you understand? The sovereignty of the country I have built rests with the people! ”

"How can it be in the people? Wen Lugong has a famous saying, in order to rule the world with scholars, not with the people. ”

"Doctor? In Yandi and Liaodong, citizens are scholars! ”

"Oh? Doesn't Mr. Yuntai have the ambition to dominate the world? If you want to dominate the world, you can't rely on samurai alone......"

"Isn't there a Master of the Gimbal Wing? They don't have to be nerds in the Southern Dynasty to be officials? ”

In a quiet room facing the sea and covered with feasts, Wu Haogu and Li Gang knelt opposite each other. In front of each of them was a low table, on which there were a few kinds of wine and food, and they chatted while eating.

Hearing Wu Haogu mention the ability of Master Yuntai, Li Gang could only smile bitterly.

The ability of Yuntai scholars to govern affairs is of course far superior to that of traditional Confucian scholars, and even their ability to govern is much stronger than that of traditional Confucian scholars.

"Bachelor Yuntai does things," Li Gang shook his head, "Doctor Yuntai rules the world, this is different." ”

Li Gang probably meant that the scholar doctor was the "administrative officer", and the Yuntai bachelor was the "administrative officer". In Wu Haogu's system, there is also a distinction between "administrative officials" and "administrative officials". However, the Song Dynasty used the imperial examination to obtain administrative officials, and Wu Haogu used examinations to obtain administrative officials, and the Senate and the ruling government appointed administrative officials.

Li Gang said: "The world is so big, where can the ruling government find so many officials who can govern one side?" Are there so many gimbal bachelors? And not everyone wants to be an official, right? ”

Yuntai Bachelor is a general term, not only the graduates of Yuntai Academy, but also the Knight Academy, the Naval Academy, the Police Patrol Academy, and the graduates of the recently opened Yanshan Academy, all of which are considered Yuntai Bachelors. As long as you have a diploma, you can get citizenship.

With citizenship, they can apply for public office. And at the level of a Yuntai bachelor, isn't it like playing to take a public office?

However, most of the students who graduated from the Yuntai Academy were reluctant to hold public office. Because Tianjin's industry and commerce can provide them with a better way out, and they are not afraid of being bullied by low-level officials after they get citizenship. Basically, only the graduates of Yuntai Xuegong Law College will be more enthusiastic about stepping into the official career. However, most of them also hold judicial-related positions, or become senior political officials.

For example, Su Gong, who has just replaced Wu Zhizhang, who entered the Knight Academy, has recently replaced Wu Haogu's Guan Gou Jiyi script, and graduated from Yuzhou Yuntai School of Martial Arts.

Therefore, most of the affairs officials under the Youzhou government are now served by citizens from knight households and government soldiers.

If Wu Haogu wanted to expand the sphere of influence of the Republic to the entire Chinese world in a short period of time, he really did not have enough officials available.

"And the imperial examination is not for the sake of materials," Li Gang took a sip of wine, "Sir should always understand, right?" It's just a trick to cage the wise man and make the heroes of the world take over. Mr. may disdain, but the world is too big, and it is not easy to govern. If there is no such set of imperial mental tricks, the law of republican citizens. I'm afraid that the heroes of the world will fight in groups. In the world, how can there be peace? ”

"Bo Ji won't want to ask me to learn from Song Taizu, right?" Wu Haogu looked at Li Gang and asked.

"It's not okay to learn from Song Taizu," Li Gang shook his head, "Mr. can't do without the citizens of the country, without them working hard, the world can't be won." But after seizing the world, if you still use national citizens, the world will not be stable. Mr. should win the world as a citizen of the country, and then open the imperial examination to attract scholars and doctors to settle the world. ”

Wu Haogu asked rhetorically: "What if I don't do this?" ”

Li Gang asked: "When will the world be safe?" ”

Wu Haogu just shook his head. If he remembers correctly, the replacement of Hou Zhou by Zhao Song was the last Han dynasty change in Chinese history.

There must be a reason why this is the case! Perhaps the scholars who were encircled by the imperial examination were the main force that prevented the change of the Han dynasty, right?

Wu Haogu sighed lightly: "Whether the world can be safe or not depends on whether the martial family can replace the Zhao family. ”

He said leisurely: "It's about whether the republican citizens can subdue the Menggu, Jurchen, Khitan, Tatar, and Divination!"

Now that Liao has lost its deer, all the Yi will chase it together, and its winner will be a disaster in China. I am fortunate to establish a foundation in the land of Yanliao, and since I should be the Chinese Yidi, how can I abandon the north and go south, just for one family and one surname to fight for the world, and sit back and watch Yidi grow and unify? Now the Song family has not lost its morality, and the people of the world are at peace. Even if the republican army can break through Kaifeng and subdue the Central Plains, it will be difficult to achieve peace in more than ten years. At that time, there may be a male lord born in the north, will the Central Plains reproduce the disaster of Yongjia? Since we claim to be the public in the world, how can we not worry about the rise and fall of the world? ”
