Emperor Song's voice was not loud, but the Funing Hall had been transformed by the masters of the past dynasties, and it already had an excellent sound gathering and amplification effect, coupled with the content of Emperor Song's words, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the ministers, which was deafening.

All the courtiers, whether they were sitting or standing, hurriedly knelt on the ground, especially Ding Ruoqin and Wang Wei were the fastest, Wang Wei did not have the dying and struggling appearance just now, and the speed of kneeling was not inferior to that of the fifty-eight-year-old Ding Ruoqin.

The courtiers all said: "The courtiers are guilty!"

Emperor Song looked at the ministers kneeling in the hall with a look of contempt and anger, and said, "What are you guilty of?"

Everyone else was silent, and Ding Ruoqin had no choice but to say: "The ministers can't share the worries of the monarch's father, and the crime deserves death." ”

Emperor Song laughed: "Ten thousand deaths? One of you has one head, one death is enough, why do you need to die?"

Ding Ruoqin continued: "The Lord humiliated his ministers to death, and the followers of the bold cult dared to rebel on the birthday of our emperor, the crime cannot be punished, and everyone in the Song Kingdom will be punished.

The ministers are willing to go to the front line to kill the thieves in person, and the ministers in the palace must also be willing to go with the ministers. ”

The courtiers in the palace stood up and shouted, "The courtiers are willing to go." ”

Emperor Song looked at the courtiers playfully and said: "Jinling is far away from eastern Guangdong and southern Qiannan, and when you arrive there, the situation will already be out of control.

As for you, it's better to stay in the capital to plan the aftermath, if the country needs you and other ministers to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I'm afraid the country will also die. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's forgiveness, and the ministers are ashamed. The ministers were silent at this time, and they didn't dare to say more.

"Where is Hou Xian?" Emperor Song suddenly asked.

The white-haired Hou Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shook his body and moved out of the third position of Wenchen with difficulty: "The old minister is here." ”

"Doesn't the Hou Qing family know my mind best? Guess what I think at this moment?"

Hou Xian knelt on the ground with weak legs, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The minister does not dare to speculate on the holy will, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

Emperor Song said lightly: "You were very energetic when I didn't let you speculate on weekdays, but today I approved your speculation, but you twisted and pinched, is it against the way of the ministers?"

Hou Xian kowtowed like pounding garlic, and wept bitterly: "The minister is old and faint, he can't control his mouth, and I hope that the emperor will spare the minister's life for the sake of the minister's conscientious service for the court for fifty-three years." ”

"I can't talk about life and death, you are old, but you are so hard to shout for me, I don't think it is for glory and wealth. Half of it is that you really want me to live forever, and half of it is for your unworthy descendants, right?"

Hou Xian hurriedly swore an oath: "The emperor is clear, the minister's loyalty can be learned every day, there is only the emperor in his heart, there are no children and grandchildren, after the minister goes back today, he will let all the sons and nephews in the family resign, go home to cultivate and study, and no descendants will be allowed to enter the office within a hundred years." ”

Emperor Song nodded and said: "For the sake of your loyalty, I will allow you to be a minister, and also allow all your sons and nephews to resign, and each of them will be given a hundred acres of land, and you can take them back to your hometown to farm well." ”

Hou Xian hurriedly thanked him, it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to escape today, and he didn't dare to expect more.

Emperor Song waved his hand and began to recuperate behind closed doors.

Hou Xian took off his wing hat and put it on the ground respectfully, then took off his court clothes and folded them and put them behind the wing hat, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Hou Xian is gone, you take care of the dragon's body! God bless the Great Song Dynasty, it will last forever!"

Old Hou Xian staggered out of the hall in his middle coat.

Halfway through, Emperor Song suddenly spoke: "It's a bit harsh not to be allowed to enter the office for a hundred years, twenty years, if your sons and nephews can enter the government with their ability, I will still reuse them." ”

Hou Xian turned around again to thank him, and then walked out of the Funing Palace.

Hou Xian, the third ranked scholar of the Ministry of Rites, was deposed in this way, and everyone in the palace was in danger.

"The king said. Emperor Song nodded the name of the right servant again.

Wang Wei's expression remained unchanged, but his body still shook slightly, and he took a step forward and said, "The old minister is here." ”

Emperor Song shook his head and said: "Wang Wei, you are three years younger than Hou Xian, not old, he is old and has become deaf, you know very well in your heart, you can bring up the Ministry of Rites he left."

It is clearly the lack of folk rituals and culture and education that the cult has taken advantage of the fact that the cult has taken advantage of the fact that both the cult and the culture and education are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

Students were selected from various provinces, Taoism, prefectures, and counties, and after the rebellion was quelled, they went to various villages and towns to preach national chronicles and etiquette, teach ordinary people to read and write, and enhance the people's sense of belonging to the imperial court.

All students who preach less than 36 times a year will be discontinued.

You can do the above things immediately, and report the specific plan to me. ”

"Obey. Wang Wei took a step sideways, retreated to the original position of Hou Xian and stood still, without squinting.

Now the ministers are even more worried, and the second-ranked right servant has also been demoted to the Ministry of Rites, and the others don't know what punishment to receive.

"Ding Ruoqin. Emperor Song named Shoufu again.

"The minister is here!" Ding Ruoqin hurriedly bowed and replied.

"What is the prime minister's primary responsibility?"

"Assist the king, reconcile yin and yang. ”

"What do you think you're doing?"

"The minister is ashamed, although he can't say that the corpse is a vegetarian meal, but his political achievements are mediocre and lacking. ”

Ding Ruoqin did not confess guilty, but gave himself a pertinent evaluation, which surprised the other courtiers, and it was probably not as simple as disobeying the Song Emperor at this time.

Emperor Song also made a surprised expression, Ding Ruoqin, who has always had a reputation for mediocrity, did not admit his mistake and beg for mercy today, but responded calmly.

"Then do you think you are innocent of the rebellion in eastern Guangdong and southern Qiannan?"

Ding Ruoqin continued to bow down and said, "The minister is at fault, but he is not guilty. ”

"Hehe, then you tell me, what is wrong with you, why are you not guilty?"

"The Song State has a vast territory, a vast land of millions of miles, has always been dominated by county governance, and the governors jointly maintain a province, a province is like a country, the imperial court in addition to the Gyeonggi region, the influence on other regions is not great, eastern Guangdong, southern Qiannan is located in the border, the influence of the imperial court is more difficult to reach.

If it is said that he is guilty, the governors of the two provinces bear the brunt of the crime and have unshirkable criminal responsibility, but the current situation is critical and it is not easy to punish him.

And the imperial court bears the responsibility of negligence, and the minister is the head of a hundred officials, so he naturally has to take responsibility, but if the dynasty does not change the official system, strengthen the supervision of officials, and revise the tax collection system and ratio, even if the rebellion is successfully quelled, there will be others who will follow suit and rebel, and please ask the emperor to take a clear look!"

Ding Ruoqin's words shocked the entire palace, this is to change the law! Judging by the emperor's attitude, this is obviously discussed in advance, and he has been waiting for the news of the rebellion in the two places to come.

On weekdays, if someone proposed a change to the law, it would certainly be strongly criticized by conservative officials, and several attempts to change the law since the Song Emperor came to power were in vain.

This time, the Song Emperor took advantage of the two events of the coronation of the Holy Monarch and the rebellion of the cult to preemptively expel Hou Xian, the representative of the conservative faction, from the court, and demoted the king of the wall-riding faction, and even forced the ministers to submit on the grounds of rebellion.

At this time, if someone opposes the change of law, then they have to go to the front line in eastern Guangdong and southern Guizhou to quell the rebellion or come up with a counterinsurgency strategy.

While lamenting the increasing flexibility of the Song Emperor's political skills, the courtiers began to think about how to express their stance for a while, whether to sacrifice their lives as a defender of the ancestral system, or to take advantage of the trend and become a member of the reform.

Emperor Song continued to ask: "Aiqing, please tell me, how to change the law to ensure the peace of the world and usher in the true prosperity of the Song Kingdom?"

Ding Ruoqin took out a thick pile of manuscripts from the sleeve cage of the court robe and said: "Your Majesty, this is the statecraft that the minister has thought hard about over the years, and I think it is very suitable for the short- and medium-term development of the Song Kingdom, please take a look at it." ”

Emperor Song waved his hand and said, "I am a little lacking, you should read it, and the other courtiers will also listen, listen to whether there are any errors or omissions, and you can add them later."

At the time of this national crisis, everyone will work hard, and this matter will be settled today, I have already passed on lunch and lunch with everyone, so don't be in a hurry to disperse today's court meeting. ”

"Yes. The ministers got up and agreed, it seems that Emperor Song must settle this matter today, and everyone can only cooperate.

As for what Ding Ruoqin reads, only a small number of ministers who are truly loyal to the country are listening carefully, and the other ministers' thoughts have long been unknown.

Emperor Song squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the expressions and performances of the ministers in the palace, he didn't care what these courtiers were thinking, and he didn't even want to bother trying to win people's hearts.

As long as the majority of people here can exert their strength in one direction at the critical moment, and the other small number of people do not lag behind, most of the things of a country can be done.

Most of the recitals that Ding Ruoqin read were modified and expanded by Emperor Song himself according to Fang Wei's recitals, and then he and Ding Ruoqin spent four months revising and sorting them out, and no one else was allowed to change a word!

"How are Tianhuo and Ah Li? There must have been a lot of growth and progress in Taiyi Academy this year, I don't know when they will graduate and assist me, I have been a little tired and tired over the years. Emperor Song thought nonsense.

Ding Ruoqin read it for half an hour before finishing the recital, and most people listened to it drowsily.

After hearing the words "The above is the minister's humble opinion, and I hope that the emperor and your colleagues will comment and correct", the ministers seemed to wake up like a dream.

There was a buzzing sound in the main hall, as if everyone was discussing Ding Ruoqin's recital, and no one asked or commented.

Emperor Song's realm is profound, and he can hear the discussions of the ministers in the palace, and sure enough, someone is whispering about what the emperor will eat for lunch.

Emperor Song was not angry, he had been the Emperor of Song for more than 2,000 years, if he was angry about this little thing, all these years would be in vain.

Emperor Song coughed and said: "Ding Aiqing wrote this chapter so carefully, I am deeply grateful, the analysis of the current symptoms in the article is in place, and the solutions proposed are reasonable, it is a rare essay on the current literature and strategy, we need to study it carefully." ”

"Yes, Lord Ding's article will be passed on to future generations. ”

"I'm hopeful of Song Zhongxing!"

"Nonsense, my Great Song is very strong now, it should be Dingding Yu Nei and sweep the Quartet!"

"You are all wrong, the Great Song Dynasty should unify Dongshengzhou and illuminate for a billion years!"
