Zhang Anshi's words made Hu Mu think deeply.

Of course, he knew that His Royal Highness King Song's words must have his truth.

It's just that where the truth is, but he still needs to think about it carefully.

After all, these things have not appeared in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Nowadays, many scholars like him have studied the study of saints, but now they are beginning to be confused, this is the truth.

At the beginning, the scholars in the world could be said to be one-sided against Zhang Anshi, but not necessarily all scholars were heinous, in fact, because in their opinion, what they learned and knew really could not accept Zhang Anshi's actions.

After all, in an idyllic society created by the gentry, many things about Zhang Anshi can be called deviant.

Merely...... Now that the new policy is implemented, the world has already become unrecognizable, in Zhili, a shipload of overseas commercial goods flowed in, taxes also increased greatly, many workshops sprung up, all kinds of university halls sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, steam locomotives galloped on the railway line, workshops lined up, it can be said that the foundation of the scholars, in fact, is long gone.

At this time, many scholars were surprised to find that the sage's learning, which should have been eternal and unchanging, was no longer enough to explain the phenomena that were happening in front of them, and the real world seemed to have been completely disconnected from them.

Of course, there will be many people who are indifferent to this and still insist on their own opinions.

But there are also many scholars, in confusion, who have to think.

They became more and more aware that the things that could not be explained by the existing knowledge in the past gradually found the answer from Zhang Anshi, and inadvertently, under the subtle understanding, there were already many people like Hu Mu, who had actually been reborn.

A lot of times, that's what people are.

At first, they will fall into self-doubt, and they will have to learn from the pain before they slowly try to accept it.

But as long as you accept it for the first time, then it seems to be suddenly clear in front of you, what was inexplicable at the beginning is now clear all of a sudden, what was unreasonable before, you follow Zhang Anshi's train of thought to go up, but you find that it is so clear.

At this time, people like Hu Mu have become Zhang Anshi's appearance.

The terrible thing is that there is a psychology in the world called converting fanaticism, and the more such people are, after they have experienced confusion and slowly begun to become convinced of new areas of knowledge, often at this time, they are the most radical.

As a result, many scholars began to think about smashing the Confucian Temple all day long.

Hu Mu is one of them, but he has a more stable temperament, and he is not overly extreme.

So he said goodbye, but what he was thinking about was chewing Zhang Anshi's words.

And Zhang Anshi obviously didn't understand Hu Mu's strange state of mind, and he was looking forward to the news from the Fujian and Guangxi political envoys at this time.

A few days later, Donghua Gate.

This is the commercial artery of Nanjing, and there is a special gallop road here, so a large number of carriages and horses continue to send goods to the capital.

A large number of merchants gathered here, and at the same time, because of the bustle of this place, there are countless shops inside and outside the city walls.

Where there are people, there will inevitably be right and wrong, therefore, it is almost the distribution center of news in Nanjing.

Because there are people from all over the world, everyone gathers in one place, and it is inevitable to sit idle among the nearby tea shops and wine shops, read the latest Di Bao, and exchange some news.

Naturally, compared with the news in the newspaper, some discussions on the streets and alleys are naturally very loud.

Speaking of the current situation, many people frowned, this world is not peaceful, it is inevitable to worry, coupled with the news of rebellions in various places, it is even more worrying.

At this time, there are people who come here every day, most of the time silent, but they are looking around to find out something.

The person who came was from the Xia family, and it was Xia Yuanji's steward.

The Xia family is such a young master, and now his life and death are uncertain, although he has sent someone to find a way to find a way to find the political envoy in Fujian, but in fact, this is almost equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The manager of the Xia family was really in a hurry, knowing that there were many merchants and tourists here, and there were many people, although they might not be able to find out the accurate news, they couldn't help but want to hear some clues about Fuzhou Mansion.

In the past few days, he has heard too much news, and he has said everything, but the more he listens, the more confused he becomes.

Just as he pricked up his ears and listened to the discussion of a few scholars sitting next to him and the merchants at the next table.

At this time, someone came upstairs, and the steward subconsciously glanced at it, but he couldn't help but be stunned, and he subconsciously muttered, "Master." ”

The voice was soft.

Obviously, the steward never expected that Xia Yuanji would come here today.

These days, the old man can be said to be not thinking about tea, but he is still stubborn on the surface.

The steward once mentioned that he had come here to inquire about the news, and some time ago, Xia Yuanji did not respond silently.

It's just that I never thought that today's lord still couldn't bear it after all, and he came.

The steward hurriedly got up and gave Xia Yuanji his seat.

The master and servant were silent.

I only heard the noise in the next seat, and someone said: "After the rebellion for so long, why didn't His Royal Highness King Song mention troops to quell the rebellion?" If this continues, something big will happen. ”

"What nonsense, His Royal Highness King Song has his own reason......

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji's face couldn't help but tremble.

He felt that these people ...... It's just incomprehensible.

Then he heard them say, "I heard...... Datong Metropolitan Division, now there are also signs of chaos, but ...... It's hard to say......"

"Hey, if it's not peaceful, I'm afraid of many thieves...... Sharpen the knife Hoho...... Those damn thieves, we are scared, and now the trading is also affected, and the market is much lower than before, everyone is afraid......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but say: "There is no movement at all in the Song Palace, but it is rare." It stands to reason that His Royal Highness King Song is the most unsightly of these, could it be His Royal Highness King Song...... Sick ......"

"Sick, His Royal Highness King Song is young, what illness can he have?"

"This ...... It's hard to say...... The old man heard some rumors......"

"Come on......"

"I heard...... His Royal Highness King Song does not have any vices on weekdays, except for ...... Knowledgeable about some ...... Hey, it's hard to say......"

"You mean?"

"Ahem, that's not what I said."

"It is reported that someone has seen His Royal Highness King Song in the Qinglou, of course...... It's just a saying, I said it casually, you don't believe it. ”

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears.

This is the case, you say that His Royal Highness King Song watches "Spring and Autumn" every day, maybe everyone is not interested, but if King Song likes to visit the kiln, it must be relish.

Xia Yuanji was speechless, he was talking about the affairs of his family and the country and the world in a dignified manner, how could he talk about it and talk about it?

But I heard the man say again, "I'm wondering, could it be...... His Royal Highness the King of Song unfortunately contracted the disease of flowers and willows because of this? It is reported...... This is a stubborn disease, even medical school, and there is nothing to be done. ”

"No, could it be a mistake?"

"I'll just say it casually."

"But when you think about it, it's not impossible...... Hey, poor His Royal Highness King Song...... Damn fireworks woman, if it weren't for the fact that this fireworks woman didn't know how to clean herself, how could she get stained with the willows, if it wasn't for the willows, how could she be stained on His Royal Highness the King of Song, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the King of Song, how could she teach this traitor to be so rampant? Speaking of which, in all dynasties, women have misled the country. ”

Xia Yuanji's face darkened when he heard this.

The more he listened, the more ridiculous he felt, so he subconsciously stood up, snorted gloomily, raised his legs and left.

When the steward saw it, he chased him out and went out of the tea shop.

Xia Yuanji glanced at him and said, "This is what you call inquiring news?" It's really funny, what news can I expect from these people? ”

The steward said with a bitter face: "They don't all say this on weekdays......"

Xia Yuanji sighed: "Hey, Hugh is going to say it again, Hugh is going to say it again......"

He was desolate in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But I don't know what evil I have done, in the end, I want to be an unfilial descendant of the Xia family." ”

The so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is the greatest, Xia Yuan Yoshiben is an old man, and now his temples are spotted, but this son is gone, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, Xia Xuan has a trace of loss, and the Xia family is also here.

When he said this, Xia Yuanji's face had an indescribable desolation.

The steward followed him silently, but he did not speak, and there was the same sadness on his face

But at this moment, someone suddenly flew by on the street.

It was three or four people, dressed in the short clothes peculiar to the post office, and three or four pegasus, each carrying a huge package on their backs, whistling by.

In an instant, he crossed Natsuharaji and headed towards the end of the street.

Xia Yuanji subconsciously looked sideways, but saw one of them...... It's familiar.

He thought he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened his eyes again, the group of centaurs was gone.

Xia Yuan Jileng stayed in place, not moving at all, and his eyes were the boss.

The steward looked at Xia Yuanji's appearance, and thought that he was not in good health, so he said worriedly: "Master, master...... What's wrong? ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned and said, "Fang Cai, can you see the faces of those people clearly?" ”

The steward was stunned for a moment before he said, "Ah...... Villain...... I didn't look closely, sir, how did you ......"

Xia Yuanji shook his lips before he said, "Fang Cai...... There is a person, like Xuan'er......"

The steward's surprise said, "Ah......"

The butler's reaction suddenly brought Xia Yuanji back to his senses, and he immediately thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Maybe it's wrong, hey...... These days, I am always in a trance, and I always feel ...... It seems that Xuan'er is back......"

He shook his head and continued to smile wryly.

The steward comforted: "Master, the young master will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, he has his own natural appearance." ”

Xia Yuanji only pursed his lips, and the spiritual energy in his eyes seemed to dissipate a lot at once, and he didn't say anything anymore.

…………

"Report, report ......"

Zhang San hurriedly broke into Zhang Anshi's study, and shouted: "Fujian political envoy...... Fujian Political Envoy ...... Someone is coming. ”

Zhang Anshi was sitting at the table and reading the book, and when he heard the words of Zhang Sanren who arrived before the sound of the voice, his face was still calm, and he only said, "Which house is it?" ”

In fact, these days, Fujian post guards have come to Beijing one after another, but the news brought is not accurate.

These days, I have heard a lot about the disappearance of these miscellaneous things, and Zhang Anshi has calmed down.

Zhang San had already arrived in front of Zhang Anshi, his face was a little excited, and he said directly: "It's Fuzhou Mansion, the post guard of Fuzhou Mansion, saying that there is exact news." ”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he suddenly stood up from the chair, and his whole body suddenly shook his spirits.

Fuzhou and Quanzhou were the hardest hit areas of the rebellion, and if someone had come here, the news would have been confirmed.

After a while, Zhang San brought a few people in.

Zhang Anshi looked at these people carefully, and the first one stepped forward and said: "Xia Xuan, the third-class official of the Ping Tan Yi of the Fuzhou Post Office, has seen His Royal Highness. ”

"Xia Xuan......" Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows, this name sounds a little familiar.

However, there are many familiar people, Zhang Anshi is not in the mood to think about this at this time, so he asked: "What is the situation in Fuzhou now?" ”

Xia Xuan said very simply: "The traitors have been eliminated." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi's eyes widened slightly, and he exhaled a long breath, and the whole person was a little more alive for a while.

However, he still had a lot of questions, so he stared at Xia Xuan tightly and said, "Exactly?" ”

"Your Majesty is fortunate to have participated in the suppression of thieves, yes, there are also relevant reports here, please take a look at Your Highness."

As he spoke, Xia Xuan presented a copy of the report.

Zhang Anshi glanced at it quickly, and then his body shook, and said, "Emperor ...... Great Song Dynasty"

Xia Xuan said: "These thieves, mad, actually set themselves up as pseudo-emperors, and crowned dozens of princes and hundreds of people, and also set up internal supervisors, canonized the crown prince......"

Zhang Anshi said angrily: "If you enter the mother, you don't want to die, why do you proclaim yourself the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and this king has an enmity with him?" ”

"This ......" Xia Xuan was a little nervous, but there was a trace of excitement, and thought for a while: "Maybe it...... They also look up to His Highness. ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly glared at Xia Xuan fiercely.

Xia Xuan immediately realized that his fart was slapped on the horse's leg, and quickly pursed his lips.

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "I took thousands of people, and the rest ...... All of them have fallen, and there are more than 40,000 descendants? ”

"Yes." Xia Xuan said: "Many are ignorant people, who are coerced by it, so they ...... Once they saw the true chapter, they either dispersed or surrendered, but the stubborn ones were more than 2,000 people......"

Zhang Anshi bowed: "You have recruited more than 100,000 people......"

"There are more people, and they are all recruited by the state capitals......"

Zhang Anshi nodded: "This report says that your credit is not small, but I didn't expect it to be terrifying." ”

"Where there is any merit for the lowly, it is all taught well by the chiefs, and other than that...... And His Highness......"

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, later, this king still has a lot to ask you, but now is not the time to say this, this king teaches people to prepare cars, you and I will drive together, and then talk slowly on the road." ”

"Prepare the car..."

"Go to the palace." Zhang Anshi said: "If there is definite news, then it should be reported immediately, by the way, do you have those letters with you?" ”

Xia Xuan said: "It's all on your back......"

Zhang Anshi glanced at the big burden they were carrying, and he knew it in his heart, and said with a full heart: "Take it with you." ”

Along the way, Zhang Anshi had to ask a lot of details.

In fact, these details are similar to what Zhang Anshi expected before.

The New Deal is extremely tempting for ordinary people.

But simple temptation actually doesn't mean much.

The fundamental problem is that there need to be countless people like Xia Xuan to go deep into the village, and in addition, they need to send the mansion report to each village.

The first thing to do is that there is a group of people, eager for knowledge, and gradually master a certain amount of knowledge, in fact, it is difficult to read and write, and it is easy to say, even if the conditions are insufficient, but as long as there are printed materials, some people really make up their minds, and then occasionally find someone to ask for advice, some basic literacy can be done.

On the contrary, these people who are unwilling and willing to pay great determination to read and write are often not ordinary people, a person has this perseverance and determination, and the brain is good, then it is inevitable, it is the 'capable people' in each village.

They are not only the backbone of the implementation of the new policy, but also the disseminators of the content of the newspaper, and they are very willing to make contributions, so as soon as Zhang Anshi's edict arrives, they must encourage their relatives and friends to follow the post station.

Of course, it's one thing to judge, but it's another thing to actually be able to do it.

Among them, it can also be seen that the post department has indeed done its best. Otherwise, it would never have been possible to achieve today's results.

Zhang Anshi only listened carefully to Xia Xuan's statement, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Soon, Zhu Di heard the news and quickly summoned Zhang Anshi and Xia Xuanren to meet him.

In the literary building, Zhu Di sat upright, and several ministers accompanying him stood on the side.

Zhang Anshi saluted: "...... minister"

Zhu Di was obviously a little anxious, and said, "My rebellious general is here." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly in his heart, for more than a month, his majesty was also very hard in his heart, since he took the initiative to ask for help, but he has been holding his troops still, His Majesty is not urging, not urging is not, today he finally Zhang Anshi hit the muzzle.

The five words of the rebellious general are quite resentful.

So Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to report the results of the war." ”

"The result?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and frowned: "What result?" ”

"Naturally, it's a matter of rebellion." Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Fujian's political envoy has won a great victory, and he has annihilated all the thieves, these chaotic ministers and thieves are bold, gathering tens of thousands of people, coercing the people, and even ...... Even self-proclaimed emperor, the great feudal prince, fortunately the emperor blessed, His Majesty Shengming, the thief Wen Wen to Fujian political envoys, loyal and brave people everywhere have risen up, Fengtian rebelled, within a few days, the traitor collapsed, the whole army was annihilated. ”

"It's all Your Majesty...... The result of practicing benevolent government on weekdays and loving the people like sons............"

Zhu Di: "......"

……………

I'm really sorry yesterday, mainly because yesterday was really busy, and the tiger was too tired, but it is true that the tiger was wrong!
