When the news that Xiao Taishi did not die and returned to Beijing in the near future, everyone knew about it in the whole country and the capital, and everyone talked about it, and in the face of such a chaotic situation in the Great Song Dynasty, it seemed that only Xiao Taishi could solve it when he returned!

But there are also people who oppose it, because all the political systems and regulations of the Great Song Dynasty are all made by Xiao Ming at the time, which may be the cause of the turmoil, even if Xiao Ming returns, it will not be able to stop the chaos, and it will be the ordinary people who will be unlucky at that time.

There are not a few people who have this kind of thought, more than half of the old scholars have this kind of thought, Xiao Ming is a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he should be loyal to the king, and he must not deprive the emperor of his talent because of his talent! However, a large number of young scholars believe that Xiao Ming's ability to solve the crisis shows that the emperor and the imperial court are incompetent, and that the Richanglong Group, which started with commerce, is more able to control the current state of the country.

Xiao Ming has not yet returned, and some debates around him have begun, among which the discussion around some hot issues is very intense, and the discussion between the two sides in the Kangjing tabloid, which has the largest circulation, is even more intense! Kangjing tabloids have achieved a large length of one and a half feet, and there is content on both sides of the front.

In the process of raising the prices of materials from all sides, only the price of paper-making paper has not only not risen but has fallen in price, and the Kangjing tabloid has benefited from this opportunity not only not to be depressed, but to have a larger circulation, just because they have to publish the newspaper every three days to publicize the prices of some recent in-demand materials, grain prices and rice prices are indispensable, and even in extraordinary times, they can be published once a day.

The people in the capital suffer from no channel to understand the current affairs, and the paper money is not a moneymaker, so it is good to buy a tabloid to see and understand the price of rice and grain tomorrow, so the Kangjing tabloid can be said to be the only best-selling media in the Great Song Dynasty, so that there is demand everywhere, so the delivery of tabloids to various places has also become a business of the Stagecoach Express.

The influence of the Kangjing tabloid is so great that even Gaozong Zhaogou's case will have a copy for him to read every day, and the discussion around an article during this time has also attracted Gaozong's attention, that is, an article written by a writer named "Tang Family Three Shao" about the family world or the country world!

The article discusses some of the current situation and chaos in the Great Song Dynasty, which explains that the emperor used his own selfish money to collect money for himself, and also embezzled Richanglong's assets is the root cause of all this chaos, which leads to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty should not be the emperor's own world, but should be the whole people know the world!

The emperor as a manager should be responsible for the world, self-denial and thrift, and hard work, the country's prosperity and strength is the glory of the people, not the glory of the emperor, the article talks about the ancient and modern many times, taking the people as a lesson for the tyrant who killed the country, and since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the scholars and doctors have studied the sages and sages hard, and set up the goal of taking the world as their own responsibility, why can't the emperor be so?

In short, the spearhead of this article is directly aimed at Gaozong Zhao Go, and proposes that when there are sages who speak on behalf of heaven, the common people are no longer ignorant but have opened up the wisdom of the people, and they need people who can fully represent their wishes to manage the country, and regard their sufferings as their own sufferings and their joys as their own joys! All the people are equal under the emperor!

This period is somewhat similar to the enlightenment period of the anti-religious forces in the West, and after the article was published, it was sought after by many people, and it was also abused by many old masters and defenders! said that he had no father and no king, and spent money to find someone to write an article and denounce it in the newspaper, and correspondingly, there were also writers who spent money to scold!

Gaozong was naturally furious when he saw this article! He ordered the pedestrian division to conduct a thorough investigation with the Dali Temple, and soon found the printing house from the outlets where the newspapers were distributed, so as to find the office location of the Kangjing tabloid, and as a result, these arresters smashed the office and arrested a group of people from the editor-in-chief and staff!

But these people can't be sent to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department can't put people in prison, so they can only lock people in the black prison of Dali Temple, but the consequence of further investigation is that they get the behind-the-scenes boss of the Kangjing tabloid, this person is surnamed Cao! But the pedestrian department stopped and didn't dare to check again! It turns out that this person surnamed Cao is the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager Cao!

From the very beginning, Gaozong ordered the investigation of this matter, but in fact, it had already stabbed the big basket! This brings out a list of a large number of court magnates, not only the royal relatives but also the hereditary clan relatives and the nobles of the harem! At present, more than half of the various large-scale factories in the country that make money in the Great Song Dynasty are made by these people, or there are huge shares in them!

Now that the country's economy is like this, these people have lost a lot of money, and Xiao Ming cut their offerings and food at the beginning, but gave them a large amount of industrial equity, these people are not stupid, any kind of emerging industry is a very profitable business, and Xiao Ming's actions are naturally grateful, and now Gaozong is not only making no money but also losing money, and that person does not have a grudge in his stomach now!

And among the important ministers of the court, more than half of the families have more or less industries in the industry, either investing in iron and steel machinery, mining and metallurgy, or shipbuilding and trade! They are now tied to the interests of the state, and this is the famous bureaucratic capital!

When Gaozong learned of this fact, he suddenly rushed to a complete chill from the top of his head to his heels, linked to the resignation of the cabinet a while ago and the indifference to him in the harem, he felt a powerful undercurrent surging, and whether Xiao Ming returned or not has become a possibility to merge this undercurrent!

"What should I do?" Gaozong was caught off guard, he was panicked, he had no soldiers and no money in his hands, he couldn't protect himself, if he was forced to the palace, he didn't have any way at all, could he still save his life at this time, even he didn't have confidence!

And adding fuel to the fire is that the Kangjing tabloid, which has resumed circulation, is on fire again, and an article suggesting that Gojong abdicate has once again made waves! The resulting controversy is even more in full swing, with the hungry people everywhere going south and north, Kang Jing is now like a powder keg, it may explode violently at any moment!

The Gaozong Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty was stormy, Gaozong Zhao had nothing to do, at the beginning of the month, there were clan members who collectively went to the court through the above table, and euphemistically persuaded Gaozong to abdicate! Zhao Gou was very angry when he saw it, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out! So far, I am seriously ill and bedridden!

As soon as the emperor fell ill, there was no one to deal with those political affairs! In addition, winter is approaching, and in the bleak wind and drizzle, the capital is like falling into an ice cave, and it is cold everywhere! At this time, Xiao Ming returned to Hangzhou and was about to take the train to the capital.

Three days later, when the special train carrying Xiao Ming and his escort tiger guards arrived at the Great Song Jingshi, the people who came to greet him were actually crowded with people, Xiao Taishi came to power, the people lived a rich life, the people's income increased, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was high, and the territory was constantly expanded, all kinds of overseas materials flooded the market, and novelties continued to emerge, and now Xiao Ming has been gone for less than two years, and the Great Song Dynasty has reached such a situation, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to his return It is conceivable.

Xiao Ming's return directly caused the price of rice to plummet on the day! A lot of people even started selling food! As soon as he returned to the capital, he visited everywhere to understand the current price situation of the people and the market, and constantly visited the ministers at all levels in the court and the people of the clan!

Gaozong knew that Xiao Ming was back! But he was sick and couldn't move, he only hoped that Xiao Ming could take the initiative to come to see him, but Xiao Ming didn't mean to see him, Gaozong knew that Xiao Ming was angry with him, and he himself sighed: "The widow knows that he has no words to see the face of the master!" ”

But then someone in the palace sent him some special medicinal materials, saying that it was given by Taishi Xiao, hoping that the official family would take care of his body, Gaozong said angrily: "If you don't eat it, it's good to die!" ”

That night, Xiao Ming still came in person! After the eunuch of the Yellow Gate reported to Gaozong, Zhao Gou was naturally surprised, although he was looking forward to Xiao Ming coming to see him, but he was afraid that he would come, and now that he had come in person, he didn't know what to do!

Xiao Ming personally came to visit Gaozong in the dormitory, and after the two met, Gaozong couldn't help but cry! Scenes of the past appear in front of me, to say that he can be the emperor for more than ten years, Xiao Ming can be said to be a great contribution, in his most difficult time, he even dedicated his villa to live in for himself, these years to defeat the biggest enemy for himself, laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but why do you want to treat him like this?

"Your Majesty! Weichen brought three hundred-year-old ginseng this time, all of which are specialties of Goryeo, which are all things that replenish qi and blood, and I hope Your Majesty can be healthy! ”

Gao Zong sat on the bed and suddenly held Xiao Ming's hand and said, "Xiao Qing! Widow ...... I'm sorry for you! Then he wept again! Xiao Ming persuaded him not to be sad, his body was important, and he came to discuss important matters in addition to visiting the emperor today.

Gaozong stopped being sad and said: "Xiao Qing has something to say, the widow now understands, the widow is indeed incompetent in many things, I'm sorry for you and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and I'm sorry for the ancestors!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "You used to be an emperor who made a difference, but your original ambition is now swayed by that little selfish desire in your heart!" Now I know that I did something wrong, but it's a little late! ”

Zhao Gou said: "Xiao Qing, your reputation is like the sky, if you ascend to the top, it will naturally respond to a hundred calls, and it has become an undercurrent in the court, my Zhao family has been in the country for more than two hundred years, I don't want to be in my own hands!" ”

Xiao Ming smiled: "I think Your Majesty has misunderstood me!" I, Xiao Ming, am a white cloth, just a businessman, and profit-seeking is my fundamental principle, but I put the height of this interest on the overall interests of my Chinese clan, I have no ambition to sit in the world, if there is a substitute for Emperor Liao! ”

Zhao Gou hesitated: "You...... What do you mean...... Be? ”

Xiao Ming nodded and said: "I still say the same thing, I will report to you the emperor status of the Zhao royal family one day!" I'll give you an answer today, Emperor Qinzong died four years ago! I was expecting you to bring my Great Song Dynasty to a glorious height, but you disappointed me so much! ”

Zhao Gou's eyes suddenly lacked brilliance, after he learned that his elder brother Qinzong Zhao Huan had died a long time ago, he didn't have the slightest sense of relief, but was a little envious, he knew that being an emperor was actually so tired! It's really not as happy as ordinary people!

"Where is the royal brother buried?"

"The Imperial Tomb of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains!" Xiao Ming said: "But I hope you can give him a nickname and reorganize the mausoleum!" ”

Zhao said: "That's nature! After a pause, he said, "How did you arrange for me?" ”

Xiao Ming bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, abdicate!" ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he shook violently, and after half a sound, he sighed and said, "This is undoubtedly the best arrangement, Xiao Qing!" The widow should thank you."

"As long as Your Majesty doesn't hold a grudge against me!" Xiao Ming said.
