Zhong Xiang did not agree, and Zhao Tianci did not agree. Zhong Xiang considered his governance plan, and his right-hand man defected to the imperial court, and it would not take three years to dissolve it in one year. Zhao Tianci disagreed, he was worried that these people would not be able to get along with the officers and soldiers, and he didn't want Zhong Xiang to have problems there too early.

Lu Haowen's funeral was extremely beautiful, Zhao Tianci personally helped the spirit, and served each other with the gift of the younger generation, which made the Lu family extremely moved, and at the same time very proud, with the emperor This towering tree can be relied on, and the future of the Lu family is infinitely good.

Jin Chen Bing Jiangbei, Luo Yunfei was the busiest, the news of the Holy Mother Sect in Jiangnan and Jiangbei flew like snowflakes, and all the people in the Prince Mansion joined the team to sort out the classified materials, and when it came to Zhao Tianci's hands, it was already the essence of the refined content.

The civil officials' confessions were piled up on the desk, and Zhao Tianci didn't read them carefully at all, opened them and roughly estimated the number of words, and almost let them go. These scholars, eat hard and not soft, if you give him something ruthless, he will retract. In this regard, he can only sigh, he can't do without, but he can't rely on it too much.

However, Fan Jun came up with a good idea and asked them to publish all the repentance books in the "Xinmin Daily", so that the whole world would know about it.

The imperial court was going to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and it had already been reported in Xinmin Daily, so the people of the entire Jiangnan were all looking forward to the Heavenly Army going north to recover the country. In just a few dozen days, the number of people who have signed up to join the army has reached more than 200,000, and it is still increasing every day.

This time it was Zhao Tianci's turn to worry. With so many people, it is definitely not possible to turn them away, not to mention whether they can afford to raise them, at least the training time will not be enough, he doesn't want to let a group of white Ding go to the battlefield to die.

Thus, the reserve forces were born.

Just when he was ambitiously preparing to make a big move, Fan Jun came to him with a submission to Xinmin Daily.

Zhao Tianci opened it and saw that it was an article about the Northern Expedition written by a person called "Qinzheng", the whole article quoted scriptures, sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, he read it from beginning to end, and his nose was almost crooked.

It turned out that this person called "diligent government" actually stated that the southerners were not suitable for the northern expedition, saying that the northern people were rude and did not accept the indoctrination, and the Jin people occupied the northern city for a long time, and the damage was huge, and a lot of manpower and material resources were needed to rebuild after the recovery, and all these expenses had to be borne by the southerners, so the northern expedition was harmful to the southerners but not beneficial.

Zhao Tianci held this article and his hands trembled with anger, "Who wrote this?" ”

Fan Jun shook his head, "In order to avoid the worries of those who discuss current affairs, we allow them to use aliases, so ...... There is no way to find out this person. However, Li and his family have been collecting styles among the people on a daily basis, and according to her, this kind of argument has been circulating among the people for a long time. ”

"Folk?" Zhao Tianci frowned, and Fan Jun continued, "The small inner mansion in charge of wartime mobilization also has complaints, and the money and materials received from the people are getting less and less compared with the beginning. ”

Zhao Tianci pondered for a long time and said resolutely, "The full text will be published to encourage discussion!" ”

Fan Jun was a little worried, "Will this affect the imperial court's preparation plan?" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "It has been affected, if the court turns a deaf ear to the voices of the people, I am afraid that there will be people who will take the opportunity to make waves." I would like to hear what they really think. ”

Therefore, in the front page of the latest issue of "Xinmin Daily," a long political essay entitled "My Views on the Northern Expedition" was published, which occupied two entire pages, and not only published the article on "Diligent Administration" in full, but also specially signed at the back: People from all walks of life are welcome to participate in the discussion, and this newspaper will hand over the final public opinion to the imperial court for reference.

This is amazing, just when the imperial court was preparing for the Northern Expedition with great fanfare, such an article suddenly appeared, don't say that the court officials, even the people who actively respond to the preparation for the war, are also a little confused, is the court going to change its mind? Behind this newspaper is the Prince's Mansion, which is known to everyone in the world. What is Prince Mansion? It was the Emperor's Hidden Residence, how could they allow such an article to appear?

As a result, the "gossip" that the imperial court was preparing to strike the war and negotiate peace began to circulate.

In just three days, Fan Jun received more than 300 manuscripts, and almost overwhelmingly asked who allowed such an article to appear in the newspaper at such a critical moment.

Fan Jun ignored them and published their manuscripts on it.

The newspapers were full of positive and negative arguments, and people with keen minds immediately grasped the implications, and a great national debate on whether to "war" or "peace" began.

As if to cooperate with this controversy, the imperial court ordered that all wartime mobilization work be temporarily suspended, and the conscription work was temporarily completed.

At this point, the call for "peace talks" began to overpower the voice of the "main battle," and even some staunch main war factions began to waver.

The first person who couldn't sit still was Lu Yihao, he rushed to find Zhao Tianci with a newspaper, how could this kind of remarks be allowed at this time? But after talking with Zhao Tianci for two hours, Lao Lu left with a smile, and then he took "Family World" as an alias, and published a 450,000-word "Family and Country Notes", starting from the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chenqiao Mutiny, until today's Jianyan Nandu, the Shaoxing reform after the new emperor ascended the throne, it is like a chronicle of the Great Song Dynasty Historical Records, but there are a lot of his personal comments, how the Great Song Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, from strong to weak, at a glance, clear.

As soon as this article appeared, the originally noisy war and war suddenly quieted down. Because everyone knows that the person who can write this kind of article must be in the center or the chief minister, otherwise others will not know so much detail.

"What is the emperor hesitating about?" Zhong Xiang frowned, and muttered to himself with the latest copy of "Xinmin Daily" in his hand.

"My lord, the emperor is afraid of having worries!" Yang Mo was about forty years old, tall, with white skin, and two long whiskers under his chin, which made him look more like an elegant scholar.

Zhong Xiang said, "The emperor thinks too much, on the occasion of this big event, how can he look forward and backward and be timid?" ”

Yang Mo said, "My lord, I don't think so. ”

Zhong Xiang knew that his wisdom was far better than his own, so he pulled him to sit down and said, "Tell me, what does the emperor think?" ”

Yang Mo sat down and said, "My lord, please look at this "Family and Country World", if my expectations are good, this article must be written by Lu Xiang, and Lu Xiang can write such an article, how can he not have the emperor's instructions?" So I presume that the emperor is waiting! ”

"What are you waiting for?" Zhong Xiang asked.

"He's waiting for those important people to come out and make a statement." Yang Mo said, "In the final analysis, public opinion is inseparable from its own small circle, and what will really affect the decision-making of the imperial court is those important ministers of the imperial court, many of whom are southern officials and people who advocate peace, I am afraid that it is their intention to be reluctant to go on the Northern Expedition." ”

Zhong Xiang slapped his thigh violently, "That's right! What the emperor is really worried about is these people. You will immediately write an article in my name to inform the world of our attitude, so that the emperor can rest assured. ”

Yang Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it!" ”

The next day, Zhong Xiang published an ambitious article with the real name of "Dongting Lake Zhong Xiang" with the real name of "Willing to Donate My Body for the Country", which was published on the full page of "Xinmin Daily", which immediately caused a huge earthquake.

Who doesn't know who Zhong Xiang is? It was the Chaowai Dynasty on Dongting Lake, and this person even published a real-name article in a big newspaper with a "national" background, saying that he was willing to shed the last drop of blood for the restoration of the country.

So the plot quickly reversed, and he dared to say such a big thing, why can't we? In an instant, all kinds of real-name signed articles came one after another, and there was only one central idea, please fight!

Fan Jun smiled!

That's the power of example!

Zhao Tianci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was time. He called Fan Jun over, "Let's sign it together and make a conclusion to end this debate!" ”

Therefore, in the subsequent Xinbao, the author signed "National Politics" published an "editorial" of more than 50,000 words, detailing the original intention and ultimate goal of allowing everyone to participate in the debate on whether to fight or this issue, and quoted the poem "Spring Hope" by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu in the epilogue:

The country is broken by mountains and rivers,

The grass and trees of the city are deep,

Feeling the flowers splash tears,

Hate the bird frightened,

Beacon fire for three months,

Family letters are worth 10,000 dollars,

The white-headed sao is shorter,

It's overwhelming.

Finally, a message from the current emperor was attached: I hope that Han'er will not be a slave from now on!

After this time, all the people who originally advocated peace were silent, of course they didn't worry about what the court would do to them, but they were inevitably a little lost in their hearts, as if they were on the wrong side?

Within three days, Zhong Xiang sent Yang Mo to send 2,000 stone of military rations.

In the secret room, Zhao Tianci met with Yang Mo.

"How's the situation going with General Zhong? Thank you for helping me at this critical time! Zhao Tianci said.

Yang Mo sat next to him after seeing the ceremony, and when he heard it, he said, "My family has not done anything for the emperor. ”

Zhao Tianci said with a smile, "If it weren't for your article "Willing to Donate My Body for the Country", I don't know when the debate between war and peace would end!" ”

Yang Mo smiled, "The emperor is really wise, and he can guess that it is my handiwork." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "It's not difficult, I've seen your play." ”

Mentioning this, Yang Mo was still a little unwilling, "Your Majesty, I was originally born as a martial artist, and now that the enemy is present, since I am serving the country, why doesn't the emperor allow me to go into battle to kill the enemy?" My family thinks the same way! ”

Zhao Tianci said curiously, "He also has this idea?" He...... Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Yang Mo said, "Lord Zhong also mentioned to me what the emperor said to him, and now the external pressure is withdrawn,...... The drawbacks are already there. (To be continued.) )
