Ye Li and Xiao Gui, students of Lin'an Mansion who were robbed of their fame by the imperial court and sent to Lizhou West Road, although they were born and died in the process of rushing to the destination, almost died several times, but they finally arrived at Lizhou West Road and entered the army, but they did not suffer much, the two were very surprised, and they did not expect it at all, and thought that according to the convention, they should have suffered from the killing stick, at least ten or more sticks, whether they could survive from the stick, or unknown. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention the fact that after entering the army, the two of them did not have much to do, and they could still read books every day, although there were not many books in the army, but it was better than nothing.

After a period of time, the two of them couldn't sit still, their already desperate hearts moved slightly, and their active and talkative temperament was committed again, so they thought about going out to take a look around, as prisoners assigned by the imperial court, it was really strange to have such thoughts, but the two scholars actually thought so, and made an application.

The application of the two was approved.

The two of them didn't think much about all these strange things, and thought that they were finally scholars, and even if they were assigned to the army, they would be respected. So the two of them went to the nearby cities and villages to take a look, of course, with their stature and shy pockets, it was unlikely that they would go far.

Lizhou West Road was originally occupied by the Mongolian court, after the Hezhou imperial army recovered this place, the production here has been restored, although as the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongol Dynasty, it is always on the verge of war, but the people who are a little calmer, still have to live, farming and harvesting grain has become their first choice.

It is easy for the common people to be satisfied and settle down, and they have long been accustomed to the life of sunrise and sunset.

Governments at all levels are trying by all means to stabilize the common people, and only when the common people are truly stabilized can they be stabilized locally, so they fully support the people's active farming behavior.

When Ye Li and Xiao Gui went out, it was the autumn harvest season, and the two were surprised to see a lot of people in the fields, they couldn't believe that this was actually the border pass.

The officials of the government at all levels also went to the villages and towns to inspect at this time to see what the situation of the autumn harvest was.

So the two scholars once again had a sigh, according to their understanding, the emergence of all these situations, is the result of the emperor's grace, the people's heart is so towards the Great Song Dynasty, does not indicate that the Great Song Dynasty will be able to destroy the Mongolian Tartars in the future, the current decadent situation is only temporary, one day, the Great Song Dynasty will recover the capital of Kaifeng, restore the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

As prisoners who have been deprived of their fame and been assigned, Ye Li and Xiao Gui are not qualified to write to the imperial court, strictly speaking, their actions should be restricted, but seeing the vibrant scene around them, the two couldn't help it, and began to write again, this time the so-called recitals they wrote, almost all of them were singing praises of merit, but unfortunately they couldn't be handed out, they could only be placed in the room, to see if there was a chance to play the imperial court in the future.

The scholars were obviously useless in the barracks, and they couldn't have any friends, so in the following time, the two of them still walked around, and even went to the people's homes.

Of course, Wu Shaogang knew all the behaviors of Ye Li and Xiao Gui, and Wu Shaogang had also read the so-called folds placed at home, and after Hao Jing and others saw this folds, they just smiled, but Wu Shaogang's thoughts were different.

Because of the influence of Confucianism, almost all the scholars in the world have a problem, that is, most of the responsibility for the decline of the dynasty is blamed on the minister, for example, Yue Fei was killed a hundred years ago, the emperor is relaxed, and he does not have to bear any charges, which is actually wrong, it can be said that most of the responsibility for the decline of a dynasty is on the emperor.

It is normal for readers to have such an opinion.

Wu Shaogang does not see it this way, throughout thousands of years of history, if the emperor has made a difference, the dynasty will definitely develop in the direction of prosperity, and if the emperor is indulged in lewd pleasures, the dynasty will decline.

Ye Li and Xiao Gui, two scholars, were able to live a very nourishing life after being assigned, of course, it was the result of Wu Shaogang's opening, otherwise the two of them would have died a long time ago, and as the two who left a mark in the history books, like most other readers, they have endless expectations for the emperor.

The current Song Duzong Zhao Yu is an out-and-out waste emperor, without any ability, he knows how to play and entertain, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the family and the country at all, if the world's scholars pin their hopes on such an emperor, it will be a big joke.

Wu Shaogang understands this, the people around Wu Shaogang understand this, but other scholars must understand.

Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, among the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, were all under the command of Wu Shaogang, and the rest was the most famous Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang is a capable reader, Wu Shaogang originally wanted to recruit, but after all these years and became familiar with the rules and insiders of the Southern Song Dynasty, he didn't have a strong desire to recruit.

In the chaotic era, the scholar can not control the situation, this is more straightforward, that is, the scholar does not have much use, for example, Kublai Khan, in the creation of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the primary reliance is still the Mongolian iron horse, once the world is initially stabilized, when the need to govern the country, the scholar can really play a role.

The concept of people's hearts and minds, in the chaotic times, there are some false propositions, your own strength is insufficient, even if you do things conscientiously, even if you win the hearts of the people, but in the end, you will be destroyed by a stronger opponent.

History is like this, strength can decide everything.

After eight years, Wu Shaogang finally saw through this layer and unloaded a huge burden in his heart.

Once upon a time, Wu Shaogang, who was familiar with history, thought that everyone in the world was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and worshiped the emperor, and others thought that if they wanted to overthrow the decadent and declining Great Song Dynasty, they would definitely encounter strong resistance from the common people, especially the resistance of the readers.

Zhu Xi's scientific thoughts, as well as Confucianism, have not yet completely occupied the mainstream, the thoughts of scholars are not so firm, and the imperial power is not completely worshipped, as for the common people, the idea is even simpler, who can let them live peacefully, so that they can live, they are completely satisfied, as for who is the emperor, the people really don't care.

Hao Jing entered the wing room and found that Wu Shaogang's expression was quite serious.

Hao Jing is a little strange, recently, it should be said that the situation is calm, nothing has happened, and Wu Shaogang, who is lightweight, can find a way to deal with it even in the face of big things, and the more bad the situation, the more calm Wu Shaogang seems to be, and he will never show anxiety.

"My lord, is there anything to worry about? . .

Before Hao Jing finished speaking, Wu Shaogang spoke.

"Mr. Hao, I've been thinking about one thing these days, that is, this twist and turn between Ye Li and Xiao Gui."

"My lord, this recital, the subordinates don't think there is a need to worry about it, Ye Li and Xiao Gui are two scholars, the scholars are angry, in fact, they don't know anything, they have always been studying in the capital, and they don't know anything about the outside world at all.

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing and nodded slightly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"That's right, that's what I'm worried about, a lot of information from the capital, Mr. Hao has also read it, the emperor doesn't care about the affairs of the family and the country at all, what he thinks of is lewd pleasure, all the big and small things in the court and the central government are controlled by Jia Nidao, don't look at Jia Nidao is currently in power, I'm afraid it won't take long, he is likely to be ruined and fall into the abyss."

"Why do you say that?"

"Kublai Khan has made up his mind and is ready to destroy the Song Dynasty, but the timing is not right, I see it quickly, at most next year, or the year after, Kublai Khan will launch a full-scale attack, when the power is in power, Jia Nidao, is simply unable to deal with it, the Battle of Ezhou and the Battle of Lianghuai have shown this, once it encounters a fiasco, that is when Jia Nidao fully takes responsibility, Mr. Hao Don't forget, the emperor's immorality is no one will be held accountable, but Jia Nidao's dictatorship, there will be countless people to investigate."

Hao Jing nodded again and again, basically understanding what Wu Shaogang meant.

"What the adults said is that from the bodies of Ye Li and Xiao Gui, it can be seen that there is such a problem among scholars, in fact, subordinates have always believed that if there were no adults, the Great Song Dynasty would sooner or later perish and be destroyed by the Mongolian Tartars.

Wu Shaogang smiled, and then spoke.

"Mr. Hao probably refers to the Central Plains, which has been occupied by the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian court for more than a hundred years, and the common people are not living the same life, Lu Fangweng's song "Shi'er" said the voice of many readers. Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng. It's a pity that the court has failed too many people. ”

The room fell silent, Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang, and found that Wu Shaogang's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't speak, so as not to disturb Wu Shaogang's thoughts. (To be continued.) )
