Chapter 377: Party Struggle in the Song Dynasty and the Ethos of Scholars!
During the banquet, a scholar looked at the sword on Zhu Zilong's waist and asked, "Looking at the sword hanging from Brother Xian's waist, is it because he can't travel around to learn?" I don't know, what is the first stop of my Dengzhou Port? ”
Zhu Zilong was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself such a good excuse, why didn't I think of this one before, but used something else? It seems that no matter how strong the mind is, it is not as good as what everyone thinks. It's really three XX craftsmen, comparable to Zhuge Liang, the ancients don't deceive me!
At that moment, the words of this person replied: "Xiaosheng has this intention, it is said that the southern literary style is prosperous, and Xiaosheng is very yearning." But if you are not familiar with the more north, why go south? Can you make a name for your hometown? In addition, the family industry is also changing, so the two-pronged approach is also ......"
"A saint has clouds, reads thousands of books, and travels thousands of miles. Brother He has lofty ambitions, and he is really a model for my generation, admired, admired. Ouyang Feng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It only helps the family business, and this southern literary style is prosperous, but one person can dare to do it, powerful, powerful." ”
Ouyang Feng's words were not completely exaggerated, they sounded a little strange, but everyone present understood it, and at the same time, they were a little entangled.
Historically, students in northern China in ancient times were inferior to those in the south. Once, if any student in the north dares to go to the south to fight for civilization, it is a matter of fighting for the face of the northerners.
Just like the Chinese in later generations, in order to take care of the balance between the southeast and the northwest, they had to engage in local care policies. If you want to enter Peking University Tsinghua University, you have to score more than 700 points, so the local test in Beijing may only need 620 points.
In the later period of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was even more obvious.
In the 30th year of Hongwu's imperial examination, the chief examiner Liu Sanwu was the leader of Shilin at that time, and his character was also very good. Liu Sanwu is very dedicated, and although he is 84 years old, he still keeps reading and judging day and night.
And then the egg!
Unexpectedly, not long after the list was released, a large number of unsuccessful candidates went to the ceremonial department to complain, and a group of candidates simply took to the streets and stopped the official sedan chair to tell their "hacked" experience.
The reason is very simple: all the 51 people admitted that year were from the southern provinces, and there was not a single northerner.
There are many rumors in the society, and the inspectors want to investigate thoroughly. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the time had come to curry favor with the northern scholars. He officially issued an edict and set up an investigation team.
However, the conclusion of the review made Zhu Yuanzhang almost faint: Liu Sanwu and others were very fair in their reading of the papers, and the 51 people selected were all admitted on the basis of their talents, and no corruption was found. This makes people embarrassed and speechless, it seems that the students in the north are indeed not good, I am dizzy!
However, it's still the same old saying. It doesn't matter if you're justified or not, maintaining the stability of the society and the country is the top priority, and for this reason, even if you are a good person or a clean official, you can be sacrificed if you are wronged. This is the balance between personal interests and national interests, as well as the art of the emperor!
Sure enough, as soon as the results of the review were announced, the society was in an uproar again. Some officials from the north demanded that the imperial court appoint a competent official again, conduct a second review of the examination papers, and strictly investigate all officials involved in the case. (Actually, I am justified in sending me, and I am justified in being poor, but there are many of us, so we have to mess around like this!) )
Zhu Yuanzhang did not send someone to review the test papers for the second time, he had already made a choice in his heart, although there were no ghosts in the imperial examination, but there were many sensitive words in the test papers of the people on the list. In May, he issued an edict announcing that Liu Sanwu, the chief examiner, and the deputy chief examiner, were exiled to Xubian by Lan Yuyu's party, and more than 20 people, including members of the investigation team who "seriously violated the intentions of the leadership," were executed by Ling Chi. 61 northerners were admitted!
Zhu Yuanzhang's style of "hooliganism" has a characteristic: it only talks about interests, does not pay attention to rules, and acts recklessly.
It can be said that this is very unfair, but throughout the 10,000 years of human history, Zhu Zilong knows it. Only under the fist can the truth come out, fair, hehe, ridiculous!
In later generations, Western countries played a very 6-6 standard two-way standard, and the US imperialists were even more shameless to play hooligans in the whole world, but if you don't accept it, you have to accept it. The living standards of the common people in other countries are the best in the world.
If this world is backward, you will be beaten, fair, sorry, it has never existed.
-
Of course, in the original history of a few hundred years, Zhu Yuanzhang habitually kills. In addition, he is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can stop him if he wants to kill him, and everyone is used to it.
But now it is the Song Dynasty, and it is still the late Northern Song Dynasty, and no one in the Song Dynasty has the courage to be like Zhu Yuanzhang, and they don't know who Zhu Yuanzhang is. In this era, because of the proximity to the war-torn border areas, the students in the north are not as good as the students in the south, but they are also helpless and have no policy help.
In these years, there is a reason why the northern scholars are unwilling to go on study tours, and even the best grades are born with the imperial court Lumi, and they don't have the confidence to go to the south to compete with the southern scholars. It's a complete blow to people when I go, where is the old face thrown?
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Zilong's doppelganger mentioned that he would go to the south to study in the future and challenge the southern students, he immediately made these northern students in front of him naturally hug each other, and he had a feeling of sharing weal and woe and being one.
The relationship between the two sides was also brought to a higher level, and soon there was constant laughter in Zhu Zilong's room, and the atmosphere was extremely good!
Soon, people get drunk and go crazy.
A group of scholars who were drunk and dared to say anything, Jingran began to talk about the mistakes of the officials in the central and southern parts of the DPRK, and this was the beginning of an all-round confrontation between the north and the south and party strife. If I go, the factions in the DPRK and China will fight all day long, and these students will start before they become officials?
What gossip and what, scolding officials, chatting about state affairs, and complaining about some gossip, compared with the Internet trolls of later generations, it is better. Zhu Zilong's doppelganger listened to the yellow jokes told by these people, and was a little dumbfounded,, this is too arrogant?
It's only been a long time, and when you're all drunk, you show your original form, and you're more undisciplined than me?
Aren't these scholars afraid of openly talking about important ministers in the court?
Well, I don't think I'm afraid.
The reason for this is that the Song Dynasty was the most enlightened in political history, and the ministers were also the most powerful.
It is said that the ministers of the Song Dynasty were the most comfortable, because the emperor treated the ministers favorably and paid them the highest salary in history. will not easily kill their heads, easily take off their pants and spank them on the spot, and there is no text to punish the nine clans and the like.
However, they were also the most aggrieved, because at that time, the party struggle was very fierce, and it was difficult for the ministers to do one thing, and it was difficult to do one thing well, and they were trapped in the mutual rectification of people all day long. And he will be exiled at every turn, and he will be in exile all his life.
For example, Su Shi brought him to Dengzhou, and after just five days in office, he moved him to other places, which was completely a toss-up. Also, he was an official all his life, and he traveled all over China, going to Dingzhou in the north, and going to Hainan, the farthest in the south.
From the beginning of the founding of the country, there were non-stop party struggles within the Song Dynasty. When Song Huizong came to power, the first name he used was "Jianzhong Yasukuni", which means to reconcile the contradictions between various parties. But it only took a year for him to find that he couldn't actually reconcile, and he didn't want to reconcile, so he changed the name of the year to "Chongning", which means advocating Xining's change.
Under such a national style, it is no wonder that almost everyone who reads has their own troll attributes, and they are not afraid of things!
