Chapter 100: Robbery
After shrinking in the mansion for two days and not going out, Chu Mo finally completed his 'New Learning Strategy' improvement plan.
At the same time, Zhao Ziyun also used those official eunuchs and second ancestors to create new public opinion in the city, which caused some small reversals in this matter, and those public opinions that were unfavorable to Chu Mo were also reduced a lot.
And after two days of dilution, the people in the city basically didn't care as much about Chu Mo's execution of the court ministers as they did at the beginning.
No matter which dynasty it is, the effect of public opinion generated by using the people is only temporary after all.
Now that two days have passed, Chu Mo has not stood up to respond.
Those people in the city have long been concerned about other things, only those literati and scholars have remained at the gate of the prince's mansion, biting Chu Mo to the death, and they are about to force Emperor Chu to give this 'cruel' prince a punishment.
It is not difficult to guess that among these scholars, there must be people sent by the Great Prince.
Therefore, as long as there are still people from the eldest prince who continue to instigate, within three or five days, within three or five days, these scholars should not be easily withdrawn from the gate of the prince's mansion.
"The brutal prince, the indiscriminate killing of ministers, and the humiliation of literati, heaven will not tolerate it!"
"The prince is brutal, it is difficult to be a prince, he will become a tyrant when he succeeds to the throne!"
"The infatuated prince, he is immoral and incompetent, and he is not worthy of the position of the main East Palace!"
As soon as Chu Mo and Xue Xue came out of the study, they immediately heard those scholars gathered outside the mansion start to curse at the door again.
However, in addition to insulting, they did not damage the bricks and tiles of the prince's mansion, nor did they impulsively follow the prince's guard who was guarding the door, otherwise, Chu Mo really wanted to take the opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys and take a few early birds to open the knife.
These scholars just stood outside the Prince's Mansion to express their protests, neither throwing stones at the Prince's Mansion nor injuring the guards of the Prince's Mansion, even if Chu Mo wanted to teach them a lesson, he couldn't find a suitable reason.
However, from this matter, Chu Mo was even more convinced that these people were instructed by others.
Walking from the study to the hall, Zhao Ziyun and Li Jin were waiting inside early, and as soon as they saw Chu Mo and Xue Xue walking in, the two of them immediately got up to greet each other.
"Don't be polite, just talk about things!" Chu Mo waved his hand at them, and sat down directly.
Zhao Ziyun and Li Jin glanced at each other, and Li Jin took the first step and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, the old slave has already found out about the matter you asked the old slave to investigate. ”
Chu Mo nodded and asked lightly, "Is it the right minister or the boss?"
Li Jin hesitated a little and said, "It's the eldest prince, and the fourth prince." ”
Chu Mo shook his head and sighed lightly, and said: "Alas, it's these two things that don't fight again, I don't think about how to enrich the country and strengthen the people when I have time, I only know how to fight in the nest all day long, and I will come to clean them up when I am free one day." We just need to know this matter in our hearts, and don't touch them for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. ”
After speaking, Chu Mo looked at Zhao Ziyun again, and said curiously: "Ziyun, you came to the Prince's Mansion on purpose, what is the reason?"
Zhao Ziyun smiled: "Brother Mo Chu, I have already released the news according to your instructions. Although the people in the city have been much less crusading against you at this moment, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with you, do you have any plans for the next step?"
Chu Mo didn't seem surprised, and nodded slightly: "Staying alone in the study for two days is preparing for this next step." It's just that this move is going to fall on the court, so Ziyun, you don't have to worry about it, you've worked hard in the past two days, while it's okay now, you can take those brothers of yours and have a good time!"
When Zhao Ziyun heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Is the cost of this pastime paid by His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Chu Mo, who originally had a serious face, couldn't help but smile, and said to the snowfall beside him: "Go to the treasury later, and give five thousand taels to Ziyun, which will be regarded as the tea money for these two days." ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for the reward!" Zhao Ziyun hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him.
Five thousand taels, he really doesn't care. I just wanted to soothe Chu Mo's mood.
Seeing this, Li Jin also cheekily asked Chu Mo: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave has also run a lot in the past two days, and I have to squat on the roof to eavesdrop, look, do you also reward the old slave with a little money for running errands?"
It's a pity that Chu Mo directly changed the topic as if he hadn't heard it: "Gonggong Li, Gu is just looking for you to have something! Hurry up and prepare the carriage, you accompany Gu into the palace to face the saint." ”
Li Jin looked bitter: "Your Highness, what about this tea money?"
Chu Mo suddenly pretended to be at a loss, "Oh, what kind of tea money, the most important thing now is to enter the palace to meet my father, as long as you hand over this thing in Gu's hand, those literati and scholars in the city will no longer have so much resentment towards Gu." ”
Li Jin smiled bitterly, didn't mention it again, and was dragged away by Chu Mosheng.
After preparing the carriage, the two of them sneaked out of the back door of the prince's mansion and drove all the way towards the palace. It was close to noon at this time, and the morning morning had already dispersed.
Although in the past two days, Chu Mo has slowly controlled the wind of public opinion, which has reduced the anger of the people a lot. But he didn't go to the court for several days, and those ministers in the court could only continue to put pressure on Emperor Chu, asking him to severely punish Chu Mo.
This has made Emperor Chu frown for the past few days, waiting for Chu Mo to come up with a way to save himself quickly, and he will no longer have to continue to bear the pressure of these ministers for Chu Mo.
Entering the palace, Chu Mo went directly to the imperial study and met Chu Yunxiu, the emperor of Chu.
"Father, the matter of the new learning policy, the son of the minister lives up to expectations, please take a look at the father!"
"Really?" Emperor Chu looked overjoyed, but as a result, Chu Mo's new learning strategy only glanced at it a few times, and he immediately looked overjoyed.
"Well, I knew you wouldn't let me down. ”
As he spoke, he waved his big hand: "Come on, immediately invite a few old ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion into the palace." ”
Chu Yunxiu is not stupid, he naturally knows how to help his son.
His Majesty personally summoned them, and these old ministers who had just dispersed had not yet entered the house, and immediately followed the eunuchs in the palace non-stop, and came to the imperial study in a hurry.
It's just that seeing that Chu Mo is also in the imperial study, and thinking of the recent rumors in the city, these scholars all treated him coldly, and none of them were willing to salute him.
The few Wenyuan Pavilion scholars invited here were all white-haired old men who were close to ancient times, and each of them had a status in the literary world, and they were all Taishan Beidou-level figures, so Chu Mo didn't bother with them.
However, Chu Yunxiu coughed twice and said: "A few Aiqing, the prince has worked hard in the past few days to make this new study plan for the implementation of this new learning policy, I specially summoned a few people into the palace, because several Aiqing are all literary masters of my Chu State, I want to ask a few Aiqing to take a look at it and see if the new learning policy made by the prince is feasible?"
"What did the prince do?"
Several scholars hesitated, originally in their hearts, they disdained to read what Chu Mo wrote.
But after thinking about it, he had written so many amazing and brilliant poems before, and at this moment, Emperor Chu spoke in person, and these arrogant literary giants reluctantly took the plan and read it.
And at this glance, the faces of the three literary giants of the Chu State changed instantly.
From disdain, to dignified, from ignorance, to seriousness.
In the end, I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Is this new academic policy really written by the prince?"
One of them, who looked to be the oldest and seemed to have the highest status, held the plan in his hand, trembling his hands, and asked the Chu Emperor.
Chu Mo nodded expressionlessly: "It's written by Lonely, what's wrong?"
