"Lou Gong is worried about state affairs, he came in person today, the palace is very grateful, and now the country and the people are safe, and the king is indispensable, of course he should not be embarrassed. What does the colt think? ”

Shen Sanwen must feel bad, but he doesn't have to tell the truth in front of outsiders.

"The princess has a point."

Princess: "Can Duke Lou rest assured?"

Lou Shide bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”

Princess: "Duke Lou, please go back."

Shen San asked, but he was puzzled, "Could it be that Wang Fangyi really has different intentions?" ”

Princess: "Whether he has a different heart or not, I will protect him this time."

After Lou Shide returned home, his son saw his depressed face, and hurriedly came to inquire, "Father, but the matter has not been done." ”

Lou Shide: "It's done." It's just that Shen Sanwen didn't let go, and this matter was decided by Princess Taiping. In this way, the father owes the princess a favor, and it is not good to embarrass her again. ”

"My father and the prince are brothers and sisters, and the princess knows the righteousness, now that the matter has been done, why should my father mind."

Lou Shide: "If the horse agrees, we will be ministers in the same hall, which is his responsibility as an official." But if it is a princess, she and Wang Fangyi also have some incompatibility, just looking at the thin face of her father, how can it be the same. You've been to the school run by the colt. ”

"The child has already been there, and the school is taught by the women of the Shen family, and the teaching is some basic words, teaching people to understand some notices, signboards, and numbers, which is quite respected by the people. School-age children, who are studious and diligent, can enter advanced schools, and many rhetorical articles about women's participation in politics are also very reasonable. The child went away, and there was no one to stop him, and I heard that anyone could go. ”

Lou Shide: "The literati attach importance to the inheritance of the teacher's Tao, and the officialdom attaches importance to the grace of recommendation. Now Shangguan Wan'er recruits talents and leads the style of writing. The concubine took the woman as his teacher and defended the harem's participation in politics. The holy will is biased in favor of Princess Taiping again, and the world is really going to change. I, the Lou family, must not be involved in the royal right and wrong, you pass on the order of your father, restrain the clansmen, think twice about everything, do not come out of your mouth, collide with the powerful, and offend those who can't. ”

On the other side, Shen Sanwen discussed with the princess about exonerating Wang Fangyi.

The most important point of coming to Junchen to attack Wang Fangyi is that he has won the hearts of the people, so there is a threat, as long as this is resolved, it is easy to say.

The next day, Shen Sanwen participated in Wang Fangyi's book. When Wang Fangyi was the governor of Xiazhou, under the fame of Qing and noble, he was actually greedy for money and profit, arbitrary, and complained many times that he had high merit but had been guarding outside for many years, but the court rarely rewarded him. The soil in Xiazhou is hard, the arable land is difficult, and the people who have been striking iron for generations have made new agricultural tools, and Wang Fangyi has taken it for himself, forcibly taking the credit, and the people are not allowed to criticize it. Those who complained about the hardships of life were all punished for criticizing the government and politics, and they were severely beaten. Therefore, some people came to the capital to complain. During Di Renjie's tenure as the county order, in order to maintain his reputation, he was even more daring, did not abide by the order of respect and inferiority, forced officials to change the implementation of the edict, and submitted to Di Renjie, which was really a flattering villain.

Many people in the court seconded the proposal, Wang Fangyi sold his reputation, I don't know if Lou Shide secretly operated it, or the princess gave an order.

When Emperor Wu heard this, he did not say anything, and the matter could only be discussed later.

After the next dynasty, Lou Shide was summoned by Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu: "Wang Fangyi is a talent, and he has made meritorious contributions to Sheji, but he is stubborn and has a lot of dissatisfaction with me, how does Lou Qing think he should deal with it?"

Lou Shide: "Wang Fangyi is a layman, how dare he be dissatisfied with His Majesty." Your Majesty has his own decision, and the ministers listen to him. ”

Emperor Wu: "I will give him a thousand taels of silver and a thousand horses of brocade, talk about condolences, you can send it to him."

Lou Shide burst into tears, "Your Majesty, reward the border generals, the frontier soldiers will be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, and everyone will be brave." ”

Emperor Wu: "I just want him to make less trouble, don't challenge my tolerance limit."

Emperor Wu wrote an edict, reciting his meritorious service in guarding the frontier, giving him some wealth, and reproaching Wang Fangyi for not being able to stick to his heart, not to be harsh on the people, not to be greedy for money and flattery. When Wang Fangyi saw the messenger, he dared to be sure that the Martial Emperor had no murderous intentions towards him.

Lai Junchen traveled between the two places, unwilling to be ruined by his recent hard work, but still carefully prepared evidence and presented himself to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu remembered his loyalty and rewarded him, but did not punish Wang Fangyi.

This matter can be regarded as a safe one.

Shen Sanwen discussed this matter with the princess again, "Lou Shide is not a simple person, and the princess also takes a special fancy to this person." ”

Princess: "Of these generals guarding the border passes, only he can make the queen mother feel at ease the most." ”

Shen San asked: "When he was in the court this morning, some ministers scolded him for walking funny and hillbilly, and he didn't care. ”

The princess smiled, "He was born in Wenchen, and he has been stained with military spirit over the years, which is always a little different from these nobles in Luoyang City." However, he is not easy to offend people's good temperament, and when he is really exquisite, he is the only one who can influence the source of Luoyang in the officialdom. ”

Shen San asked: "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and if he changes people, it is estimated that no one will dare to say such a thing." I heard that His Majesty had taken a fancy to this person in his early years, and his vision of knowing people should not be underestimated. ”

Princess: "Maxima needs to be appreciated by Bole, and the name of Bole also needs to be fulfilled by Maxima." The mother queen can sit firmly in the country, and naturally has the true ability to know and employ people. ”

Yes, Your Majesty has a good vision, especially in the selection of sons-in-law.

Shen San asked: "Princess, I plan to change the way for the school." ”

Princess: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Shen San asked: "Today's propaganda scope is too small, it only exposes our ideas, but it attracts criticism. If it really works, it still has to be publicized more widely and deeply. ”

Princess: "Do you want to do it all over the country?" ”

Shen San asked: "There is no need to do this, just do it among the scholars."

Shangguan Wan'er's poetry meeting gave me a lot of inspiration, and they participated in the poetry meeting just to attract Shangguan Wan'er's attention and get His Majesty's favor.

Today's imperial examinations are also excellent in learning, and people who are good at learning are selected to be officials.

If a person with a new and correct concept is chosen to be an official, then the literati of the world will change their previous thinking. ”

Princess: "The Mother Mother will not agree to this. ”

Shen San asked: "If you just support the harem to participate in politics, Your Majesty will definitely not agree." If we put it another way, looking for the rationality and inevitability of His Majesty's claim to be emperor, his contribution to the world, and His Majesty's concept of governing the country, then what?

His Majesty was already angry that some old ministers held the idea that His Majesty should return to the king of Luling for stealing the country, but he just cherished his talents and did not want to cause turmoil and panic, so he did not mention this matter. His Majesty will definitely agree to this additional subject.

Now it is the State of Zhou, these scholars should naturally have the idea of being loyal to His Majesty, if they are in this matter, they still can't understand how they can be worthy of the great responsibility if they stick to the old ways.

Does the princess think this is possible? If it is feasible, tomorrow I will advise Your Majesty to strengthen the centralization of power, choose scholars with reasonable political ideas, and add political theories. ”

The princess pondered for a moment, "Sanwen, you are not only the person trusted by the queen mother, but also my concubine, as long as it is beneficial to the queen mother, you can do whatever you want." ”

Shen San asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Princess: "Not all literati have the backbone, if these people do some duplicity and grandstanding, causing dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, it is inevitable to laugh and be generous." In addition, there are people who stick to their hearts, and in this way, many talents will be lost. ”

Shen San asked: "It's just a matter of setting the right mentality and being loyal to the king." If you feel embarrassed, why bother to take the imperial examination. People who are pedantic and stubborn are not of great use. ”

The princess reminded him, "After all, this palace is Li Tang's princess. ”

Shen San asked: "The princess doesn't have to worry about this matter, in the future, when Li Tang is restored, His Majesty will definitely agree." Does the princess want to see that during His Majesty's reign, the people of the world are not a little grateful, and they still think that she has scheming and stealing the country? ”

Princess: "This palace hopes that the people of the world will miss the kindness of the mother and the emperor, and I also hope that the people of the world will not forget the good of the Li Tang royal family." ”

Shen Sanwen immediately changed his words, "That's right, if you forget the good of the old people because of the seconds of today's people, then you are also a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted." Then the definition is clearer, compared with the places that can be improved in the reign of the first emperor, and analyze the concept of His Majesty's governance, whether His Majesty has become more prosperous after he ascended the throne. ”

How can there be a more prosperous question.... The princess was amused by him, "In the future, I will have to write a poem praising the queen mother when I participate in the imperial examination, what do these scholars think." ”

Shen San asked: "As soon as the poems of these scholars come out, they will be printed into a book and shipped to the whole country for the world to read." In the eyes of the world, scholars are the best people, and their ideas can naturally influence more people. With the book, it is not easy for them to change their minds in the future. ”

Although the idea of adding these to the imperial examination seemed deviant in the Tang Dynasty and also had a restrictive meaning, it was a part of politics, and in addition to military power, the central government must also include ideological control, which is not included today, and will be included in the future.

Shen Sanwen returned home and wrote an analysis of the content of the imperial examination.

Since the implementation of the imperial examination, the system of electing officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has been familiar with the scriptures and history, and has made the best use of his talents from the past and the present. However, at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the hearts of all the people who were attached to the previous dynasty did not change, and the people's hearts were simple, which was a fortunate thing. But there are mediocre people who don't know the reason, and don't know the general trend of the world, slander the saints. The first emperor Shengming, passed on to His Majesty, before Li Chunfeng saw the pearls, His Majesty Daoming should be the lord of the world, and then there were the Great Cloud Sutra and many holy monks to get my Buddha's signal, risking the world's disapproval, for His Majesty's name, is the future Buddha descended into the world, down into the mortal world, sheltering the world. Since the establishment of the Great Zhou, the auspicious rui has been exhausted, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe. His Majesty ascended to the base of the day, diligent and pro-government, appointed virtuous ministers, and successively had Liu Renliang, Lou Shide, Di Renjie, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Wu Sansi and others, distinguishing between right and wrong, and being a model for eternity. However, Confucianism is broad and profound, obscure and boring, and difficult for non-intelligent and pragmatic people to understand. In addition, the sage of Confucius may not be able to know the prosperity of today, and the theory of scholars may not be realistic.

If you can understand the heart of heaven, the way of governing the world by the sage, and know how difficult the politics are, and the difficulties of the prosperous world, you can enter the office.

When Emperor Wu saw this twist, he was in a happy mood, and he wrote down the quasi-words with a wonderful pen. If people in the world can have such thoughts, less criticism, and more understanding and praise, why should she worry about rebellion, appoint cool officials, guard against important ministers, severely punish thieves, and use cruel punishments.

Shangguan Wan'er was also stunned when she saw this twist, how big her brain must be to come up with such a bad idea to toss the literati, and she also said it in a high-sounding manner, one by one.

Soon, the imperial list was plastered all over the world, and the imperial examination was announced.

This is equivalent to a question of sending points, and readers are mixed with joy and sorrow, and it is definitely impossible to ignore it.

Although everyone knew the topic, those who wrote well still had the advantage, so many literati began to write hard.

For a time, the voice of the martial emperor was sung endlessly in the world school. When literati write poems and essays, they will read them and comment on each other, whether they are masterpieces of the ages, or whether they are pieced together and unorganized, and they will know when they hear it. If you don't do well, you can also listen to the opinions of the audience and correct your words, and if you can't do it, you can seize the opportunity to start over.

A better article will naturally be respected and circulated in the local area.

The effect of this is much better than simply opening an elementary school in the Fuma Mansion.

After a month, Shen Sanwen came to the Shen Academy again and asked about women's participation in politics, and the answer was completely different.

So, Shen Sanwen began to ask the princess for credit.

Shen San asked, "How is it?" ”

Princess: "Okay." ”

Wow, that's so cold.

However, it was said that Di Renjie was demoted because of a serious crime, and when he learned about it, he played Emperor Wu again, and as soon as this case was opened, it was even more difficult for literati to maintain their hearts, and it was absolutely impossible.

can only be said to be pedantic, if it weren't for the reputation he spelled out in his early years, it would be difficult for him to prosper officially.

In the three months of the DPRK, two prime ministers have been replaced, and Lou Shide recommended Di Renjie to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu: "Di Renjie advised me to withdraw from the Western Regions in the past, but today he is blocking the imperial examination, and his vision is limited, which is not very suitable." ”

Lou Shide: "Your Majesty, no one is perfect, although Di Renjie has shortcomings, he can keep his heart for ten years." If there are no loyal ministers in the court, under the prosperity of the world, I don't know how many rotten moths, I don't know how many innocent people will be wronged. Taizong and Wei Zheng, just like His Majesty and Di Renjie, want to have His Majesty's holy name, so they have this advice, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it. ”

Emperor Wu: "Do you know Di Renjie's evaluation of you?" ”

Lou Shide: "The minister knows that Di Renjie is not a person who argues right and wrong behind his back, he is frank and open, and he does not hide it from the minister." He thinks that the ministers are too strict to abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, and they are only submissive and incompetent. ”

Emperor Wu nodded, "Lou Aiqing is still the same as in the past, she can do it herself, and the prime minister can hold the boat in her belly, so she is really not wrong." ”

Lou Shide smiled obscenely, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the ministers are not as far as Your Majesty." ”

Since Shen Sanwen said that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, it has been widely spread in Luoyang, and Lou Shide's reputation has been much less influenced by Di Renjie and has become much better.

The experiences between people are always very different. Di Renjie's official fortune has always been escorted by someone, no wonder he has been able to worship the prime minister twice and sit firmly in the court for decades. Shen San asked for a while.
