Chapter 357: Dark War (Part II)

- >

Such a broad question is too difficult to answer than a thesis question, but fortunately, there is only one question, and you can answer it no matter what.

When it was dark, the volume was collected, and although there were only fifteen copies, it was still necessary to seal the volume number and record it. Then the preliminary examiner and the detailed official will mark the papers twice and rank them and submit them to the official family.

"Is there a talent in the third class?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile. It's not that he looks down on his scholars, but the first and second ranks are not awarded, and the third class is the highest rank. Moreover, the imperial court stipulates that 'the system is in the third class, and the Jinshi is the first, except for the Dali Commentary, and the two envoys are signed as the shogunate', that is, the third class in the system is equal to the champion of the Jinshi Branch. And since the founding of the country, only one Wu Yu has entered the third class, and there is no one else, so it is rarer than a champion in three years.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty," Sima Guang said respectfully: "There are six people who have gained a lot in this section, and there are six people above the fourth class, among which the countermeasures of the two 'ministers' and 'felt' are highly reasonable, and they are not out of the ranks, and they are proposed to be the third class. "'Chen' and 'felt' are the code names of the test papers after the name is transcribed.

"Oh." Hearing that there were two third-class people, Zhao Zhendun was interested and said, "Take a look." ”

"Yes." Sima Guang then submitted two copies of the 'proposed third-class' policy.

Zhao Zhen picked up the above one first, squinted and looked:

'The minister said to him: When the minister hears that there is nothing in the world, the words of the minister are lighter than the feathers; If there is something in the world, the words of the husband are heavier than Mount Tai. If you are not wise, you can't do it, and you don't notice it, and the situation of urgency is also ......"

Zhao Zhen felt that this article was natural and magnificent. There is endless talent and vitality between the lines, and what is more valuable is that its author will show his pure heart in front of him without any pretentiousness.

'The day is rì lucky, so healthy, rì month is rì line, so Ming; The water flows in rì. Therefore it is inexhaustible; The limbs of a person move with rì, so there is no disease; The instrument is used with rì, so it is not beetle; The One of the World. Big things are also left for a long time without use, and they will be discarded. rì tends to be a disadvantage. Zhao Zhen praised while reading aloud: "This person's article is comparable to Han Liu." ”。

When he read 'The world is not the king's ear', the left and right are unchanged, but Zhao Zhen laughed out loud and said: "Dare to speak but have exceeded!" ”

After reading it, he sighed: "The Great Song Dynasty has its son, how fortunate it is, it can be placed in the second class!" ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice, the second class has always been imaginary, even if it is a genius in this life. Nor should there be exceptions. Sima Guang said softly: "Don't forget that Chen Zhongfang's past can be learned, he may not have Chen Zhongfang's ability......"

How much injustice has Chen Ke suffered over the years? When Gintai received a recital of impeachment against him, he was able to fill a room. Although he has the protection of the official family, if it weren't for his repeated great achievements, he would be a person with a keen sense. I'm afraid that ten Chen Ke will also be blown into slag.

Zhao Zhen thought about it, and felt that he couldn't kill it. He didn't insist anymore: "Then let's wait third." As he spoke, he went to get the latter.

"Your Majesty." Sima Guang's forehead was slightly sweaty and said: "This second part of the rhetoric is a little too upright, Your Majesty should be prepared......"

"Haha......" Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently: "The widow opens this course called 'Extreme Speech and Straightforward Advice', what kind of extreme advice is not upright?" As he spoke, he pointed to the previous one and said: "The widow even 'has the world', and he is not a king." The world has made the ears of the monarch' hear, and what else can't accept it? ”

"Yes." Sima Guang felt a little relieved at this time.

Zhao Zhen slowly opened the 'felt' volume and saw a thrilling strange article unfolding in front of him:

'The minister said to him...... The minister is crazy and stupid, and he doesn't know taboos...... His Majesty's ministers said: 'I inherit the great unification of my ancestors, and the martyrdom of the first emperor, I am deep and ignorant, and I have not taken care of it. This is also the word of your majesty's fear. However, the minister thought that His Majesty did not have the sincere ear to fear. ’

Since Your Majesty has let Weichen speak out, so if you don't listen to the truth, and there are taboos, please take care of it. You said you were worried about state affairs, but I don't think you're really worried!

'Between the former Baoyuan and Qingli, Xiqiang is in trouble, His Majesty is not able to sit during the day, and he is not able to sit at night. At this time, the whole world said that His Majesty was worried and cautious, like King Wen of Zhou. However, since the dismissal of the army from the West, His Majesty has abandoned his fear and has not thought about it for twenty years. ’

When Li Yuanhao was making a fuss back then, you were so scared that you couldn't sit still during the day and couldn't sleep at night. That's when you're really worried, really worried. But after the Qingli discussion, there will be no war with Western Xia, and you will be healed of the scars and forget the pain, and you will be mixed for twenty years.

'Your Majesty is not worried when he has nothing to do, but he is terrified when he has something. The minister thought that His Majesty was worried. 'You're not hearted when you're fine, and you're scared when you're fine, so I said, you're not really worried at all.

Then, the author accused the emperor of indulging in the joy of sè, and listed six kings in history who caused chaos as a warning, and said: "These six emperors are all safe and orderly, do not abstain day and night, indulge in wine, be desolate in sè, stop early in the evening, go to bed early, and the ministers must not speak to themselves, and the ministers must not give extreme advice." The woman is the servant on the right and the left, and the righteous words of the law are not left in the heart, but the words of the women are heard. ’

He said, "I feel that what you have done is similar to that of these trouble-causing kings: 'Your Majesty, since the end of his life, there have been thousands of nobles in the palace, singing, dancing, drinking, merry, and depriving themselves of the court, and sitting in the court without hearing advice, and having no advisers in the palace. 'You yín unrestrained wine sè person, you can make the dynasty without jīng, and the government is absent-minded!

Boss, don't think that engaging in a few women will not affect national affairs, now 'the sea is poor, and the people are bitter', if you are angry, I am afraid that you will 'and the people will not return'!

In addition to accusing the emperor of indulging in pleasure and indulging in women, he also accused the emperor of 'Your Majesty's choice of officials is not jīng, and the people are victimized by the subordinates and have nothing to tell; His Majesty's endowment is heavy, and the people are poor, and their clothes are not covered. If the officials are not kind, they can still be the fault of the officials; Who is to blame for the inhumanity of endowment? ’

Who's to blame? Of course it's you!

He also accused the emperor of being extravagant, so that he was expropriating excessively and the people's livelihood was poor.

He also accused the emperor of 'being confused by the name and not knowing the outline of the government'. He said, 'The ministers look at His Majesty's intentions, but they make the historian write it, so as to invite the good name to future generations, so the ministers think that His Majesty is confused by the false name! ’

After reading it silently, I saw that Zhao Zhen was sweating profusely, and his old face was flushed. This person is really unscrupulous, if they are all alarmist, some of the accusations go deep into the bone marrow, exposing Zhao Zhen's most secret careful thoughts to the fullest!

Although Zhao Zhen has the virtue of spitting on his own face, but the ministers' accusations to rì are not painful, which one dares to expose his quiet and inactive façade and follow the advice, and let the heart of fame and reputation and steal peace in the daylight?

This person is the first person in 100 years!

After a long time, Zhao Zhen came back to his senses, but he didn't dare to look at the piece again, and asked Sima Guangdao: "Do you think this should also be a third-class?" ”

Sima Guang originally had a deep sense of holy intent, so he picked out this volume, but now he saw that the emperor's face was like a monkey's ass, and he couldn't eat it in his heart, so he said softly: "The minister thinks that this article is full of loyalty, and although his remarks are biased, he is the only candidate who has achieved 'extreme and straightforward advice', so it can be proposed as a third-class, in order to show His Majesty's earnest heart to ask for advice!" After a pause, he said: "However, Tang Zhongcheng does not approve, thinking that this person slanders the king and falsifies his reputation, and should not be taken." ”

Although it seems that the emperor chooses it himself, can Zhao Zhen say, 'You can't take him, this kid scolded me miserably'? Where to put the emperor's face?

But if his article is selected, it will be published all over the world, and his reputation for decades of painstaking management will not be ruined?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing at himself, I am really a person who sells fame and reputation......

"Weichen wants to congratulate Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to speak, Sima Guang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "In the past, Tang Taizong had Wei Zheng to have the rule of Zhenguan, and now Your Majesty has also found Wei Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty for his descendants!" ”

Under Sima Guang's reminder, Zhao Zhen remembered his original intention, and said with a somewhat softened face: "Yes, the widow opens this course, doesn't he just want everyone to speak out?" Now that someone has done this, the widow can't be a good dragon! Saying that, he waved his hand and said, "But you and Tang Jie will sum it up and see how much it is appropriate?" ”

"Yes." Sima Guang retreated with the test paper in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Your Majesty is really too self-contained, if you change to another emperor, Su Zhe will now be in prison...... The emperor was fine, he wasn't very angry.

With Su Xun, a salesman, Sima Guang is naturally no stranger to the articles of the Su brothers, compared with the talented and unrestrained Da Su, he prefers Xiao Su, who is slightly inferior in style but more gentlemanly. And Xiao Su's personality is also the most similar to him, Sima Guang thought that if he took this test, he would answer like this.

Back in the Chongzheng Palace, Sima Guang discussed with Tang Jie, and the two of them each took a step back, so they were changed to the fourth class.

So the ranking was arranged, and a total of six people were selected in this section. However, before filling in the emperor list, the preliminary examiner Hu Su quit. He has always insisted that Su Zhe's strategy is not the answer to the question, and it has led to the prosperity of the king of chaos, so he strongly asks for it!

According to the regulations, if the preliminary examiner does not sign, the test paper cannot be opened, and the imperial list cannot be filled. For this reason, Sima Guang and Hu Su had a heated argument. Hu Su is Sima Guang's predecessor who repairs his life, and he regards himself as a senior, and he doesn't buy his account at all, and in the end he has no choice but to hand it over to the upper judge.

Zhao Zhen slapped himself in the face once is enough, and he will never come back a second time, otherwise it will be a little cheap. So he ordered the court officials to re-rank this person.

As a result, the opinion given by the center is that from the preliminary examination, that is, Hu Su's opinion, he will fall into this life!
