Princess Shengguo stared at her father quietly for a long time, and a wry smile gradually bloomed on her lips: "It turns out that in the eyes of my father, I am not as good as Brother Zhongwang......"

King Zhong is Emperor Lizong's adopted son Zhao Yu, it is said that his mother was forced to take fetal pills when she was pregnant, and the fetus was not knocked out but the brain was disabled, stupid and stupid, seven years old to speak, low intelligence, basically stupid and hopeless. is such a fool, but he is the only nephew of Emperor Lizong - Lizong has no son, only a brother named Zhao Youju, who was crowned King Rong. Rongwang Zhao and Ju also have only one son, and they are still mentally retarded! And this mentally handicapped has now become the heir of the Great Song Dynasty......

Emperor Lizong tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, although King Zhong's brain is not good, it will not damage the ancestral family law and ascend to the country, do you know what is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Princess Shengguo replied seriously: "It's the world with the scholars!" It's just that...... Outside the Donghua Gate, it was the scholar who was on the roll call, wasn't it the scholar who protected the blood by the river? ”

Scholars are just a general term for intellectuals and officials with prestige and status. It does not necessarily refer to officials who have been educated in the imperial examinations. Although Chen Dexing was not born in the imperial examination, he had also read Confucian classics, and he was an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course he was a member of the scholars.

Emperor Lizong's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, and after a moment he frowned. "It's a clever child, but it's a pity that it's a daughter...... Shengguo, you are right, it is also the scholar who protects the blood by the river, but this scholar is not the same as the scholar doctor. Outside the Donghua Gate, the roll call is a scholar who can share the world, and the one who protects the blood by the river is the scholar who must always be on guard! ”

Shengguo frowned, "It's also a scholar, why do you want to be cheap and cheap, and favor one over the other?" ”

"Naturally, it is necessary to quote all the scholars in the world to the truth of the article, so that the world of Zhao and Song can be stable." Emperor Lizong took a sip of tea slowly, "If all the scholars in the world are people like Chen Dexing, can I still sit in this palace?" ”

Princess Shengguo sighed, she was just a little girl, and naturally she didn't understand the wisdom of the king of a country. She only knew that the world of the Great Song Dynasty was already in danger, and if it were not for Chen Dexing's contributions to the Baohe River and the Yangtze Bridge, most of the people sitting in this Lin'an Palace would be the Great Khan of Tartars. And the population of the Great Song Dynasty is nearly 10,000,000, and there are millions of scholars, if everyone is as brave as Chen Dexing, wouldn't the restoration of the Central Plains be just around the corner? It's not difficult to seal the wolf's mountain......

Thinking of this, the princess shook her head: "Chen Lang is a hero, how can all the scholars in the world be the same as him?" ”

Emperor Lizong smiled: "How is it impossible? Chen Dexing's martial arts and art of war were not brought out of his mother's womb, but were learned through more than ten years of hard practice. And the hardships of practicing martial arts may not be comparable to the hardships of ten years of cold windows! If next month's spring is not the meaning of the article, but the archery, horse riding and the art of war, now the scholars gathered in Lin'an will all be like Chen Dexing! ”

Yes, if the imperial examination is changed to the first martial arts meeting in the world, of course, the people who are gathering in Lin'an now are all perverted muscular men like Chen Dexing. And the upper-class elites of the entire Great Song Dynasty society are naturally some martial artists!

Today, the Great Song Dynasty is a society standing at the gate of "bureaucratic capitalism", a country that revolves around the word "official". The dream of all men to be an official, whether poor or rich. Although there are five ways to become an official, there are five methods: imperial examination, shadow supplement, recommendation, military merit, and loss. But the only thing that is truly noble is the imperial examination! The only thing that is truly fair is the imperial examination!

Therefore, the imperial examination has become the first choice for most of the men of the Great Song Dynasty who want to climb up, and what the imperial examination takes directly determines what kind of people the elite of the Great Song Dynasty is - and at the same time, it also determines what kind of people most of the wealth of the entire country will be used to support? Is it a scribe with a full stomach or a samurai with a skilled bow and horse......

If the good man who is famous outside the Donghua Gate is not the champion with a gorgeous article, but the world's number one master of martial arts, and now the people who are gathered in Lin'an are naturally the same as Chen Dexing. And those millions of scholars who are not qualified to come to Ondabi must also have a good martial arts that can go into battle to fight for military exploits!

"Ten thousand Chen Lang, millions of warriors ......" the little princess stuck out her tongue and showed a yearning expression, "so that Daddy can lead them to kill the Great Khan of the Tartars and restore the homeland of the Han family!" ”

Emperor Lizong said coldly: "If all the scholars in the world were like Chen Dexing, my great Song Dynasty would have been overturned long ago, where would it be my turn to be an official?" ”

It is naturally much easier to control a group of unarmed scribes than it is to control a group of warriors who are skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war!

Emperor Lizong said faintly: "If you can't learn literature, you are nothing more than a village talent, and you can't do much." But learning martial arts is not the same, retreating can run rampant in the township, and there is no king's law. Entering can rise up and shock the world. I can't control such a samurai, and even more so Yu'er. is the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, how many people can share the world with millions of warriors? ”

Princess Shengguo sighed softly and said, "So the ancestor came up with a good way to take the article, so that the good men of the whole world gave up martial arts and concentrated on the article." ”

The ascent of the imperial examination article is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge! It is not easy to stand out among millions of scholars and become famous outside the Donghua Gate! Those scholars who want to study both literature and martial arts often abandon the right path because of martial arts and the art of war, and finally fall to Sun Shan. Therefore, the vast majority of the millions of scholars have abandoned martial arts and concentrated on writing.

"It turns out that this article is not intended to lead to the Great Dao, but to use the imperial technique to weaken the scholars...... It's a pity that no matter how well the article is written, it can't retreat from the Beiyu, and heroes like Chen Lang are still indispensable to protect the Great Song Jiangshan. The little princess just shook her head slightly, "When the ancestor created this family law, the world was generally peaceful, if the ancestor Taizong saw the current predicament, he probably wanted to change it, right?" ”

Emperor Lizong looked at his daughter and smiled faintly: "This is where you are not as good as Yu'er, he will not try to force change, he will only rule the world by hanging the arch, the law of the ancestors has been practiced for three hundred years, and it has long been in the hearts of the people, and it is one with the Great Song Dynasty, and it can't be changed!" If it remains unchanged, the Great Song Dynasty can still be stable, and once it changes, it will be time to lose the country! The root of today's disaster in the Great Song Dynasty is not Xining's change, not only Wang Anshi? ”

Yes, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty had their own unique views on the shame of Jingkang, and did not think that it was caused by the Song Dynasty's noble literature and light military force, which led the social elite to lose their swords and bows to make a fuss, but blamed Wang Anshi and the change of law. It was precisely because of Wang Anshi's change of law that the Great Song Dynasty had enough financial resources and troops to attack Xia and Liao, and only then did the Lianjin destroy Liao and the later Jin soldiers went south. If there was no Xining to change the law, the Great Song Dynasty would have been able to follow the path of being a weak country in peace......

"But if it doesn't change now...... Can it still be safe? "Although Princess Shengguo grew up in the deep palace, she is not ignorant of things outside the palace. Even if Emperor Lizong didn't say it, Concubine Yan Guifei, who raised Princess Shengguo, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, would also tell her something about this.

"If you can be stable, as long as there is another Yue Wumu who hurts Beiyu, the world will be stable! There are hundreds of millions of subjects in my Great Song Dynasty, and there will always be one or two heroes born, right? Emperor Lizong stroked his beard, and a sneer unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"A Yue Wumu?" The princess smiled lightly, "This Chen Lang is a peerless hero, and he will definitely be Yue Wumu who protects my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
