Chapter 406
When a politician is forced into a desperate situation and has no way back, it actually indicates that he has lost and has nothing to do.
Su Che had already had a premonition of the arrival of this day. Before, he was about to fight Li Qingchen in the palace examination because the question of that palace examination was a theory of heart-killing that Li Qingchen carefully coined. Although Li Qingchen's question was a mistake in the Yuanyou period and was a dispute over the line, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Qingchen did not mean this at all.
They are all old yin people who play with pens, no one knows who!
Li Qingchen's intention was to ask the students who participated in the imperial examination to attribute all the mistakes of the Yuanyou period to the mistakes of the ruling people. Then he would pick up the whip, beat the Yuanyou party members well, and then exil and exil. After counting their crimes and responsibilities one by one, he would nail them to the pillar of shame. His target was Su Che. Unfortunately, Su Che was not deceived at that time.
In fact, Su Che almost fell for the fool, but he was willing to be fooled. Su Che saw Li Qingchen's sinister intentions, and he had no intention of giving in. Su Che was different from other court officials and was disliked by the emperor. The little emperor Zhao Xu had little contact with Su Che, but secondly, he had a little appreciation for the top-notch Su Che. This is also why Lu Dafang was staying in his hometown and Su Che was able to become the deputy prime minister in the court.
When Fan Chunren advised him, he was unmoved.
Su Song was also alarmed, and he was not moved.
Even Wen Yanbo...
He is so old that he no longer cares about the government affairs, but he still asks someone to be cautious. Wen Yanbo is no longer as senior as Su Che and Fan Chunren among civil officials. Wen Yanbo, the leader who opposed Wang Anshi back then, was Wen Yanbo. His appearance directly led to the great pressure on Wang Anshi and the reformists.
Because Wang Anshi's reforms were just a supplement to Fan Zhongyan's new policy of Qingli. In many places, it was even worse than Fan Zhongyan's reforms.
Wen Yanbo was a senior official at the time who had experienced the Qingli New Policy.
If the reform is regarded as 'tea eggs', Wen Yanbo could point at Wang Anshi's nose and scold him angrily: "The tea eggs you cook are not authentic."
With this sentence, Wang Anshi could only retreat and avoid his sharp edge.
Logically speaking, Wen Yanbo has asked someone to explain his situation, so Su Che should have stopped the battle, right?
But he hasn't. The person who really caused him to give up the fight at that time was Li Kui. Li Kui's strategy for the palace examination - "Zhiping Ceremony". Not to mention the text of this strategy for the view of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty was just ordinary. The key is that the ideas expressed in the strategy for the whole court were stunned and scared into a cold sweat.
Li Kui's "The Praise of the Praise" has a meaning throughout the article, and the Song Dynasty is about to end.
He also said that the reason for the end of the Song Dynasty was that too many people would become more and more, too many people, too little land, and not enough food to eat, anyone who takes charge of the Song Dynasty would be finished. If you think about this brand new concept, it really exists. All the important officials of the court thought that Li Kui might be because the palace examination was too short, or because of the limited space of the strategy theory that could be written in the palace examination, the solution to this strategy theory was not expressed.
They were all waiting for Li Kui to continue the second half of "The Psychological Plan", but unexpectedly, Li Kui went to create a bell in a blink of an eye...
Li Kui didn't take "Zhiping Ce" seriously at all, and even he forgot that this happened.
And what about Li Qingchen and others?
I dare not release this "Zhiping Plan" because the population problem cannot be solved by reform. Under peace, there can only be more and more people, and there is no good way to restrict them.
Therefore, Zhang Dun dared not ask this question either.
solve?
How to solve it?
All the people of the Song Dynasty line up, kill one, and leave one?
If Zhang Dun really thought about it, it would be not far from being killed by the emperor. Even if the Song Dynasty did not kill civil officials, if such a violent prime minister appeared, the emperor would make an exception.
Su Che was even more frustrated. He thought that the dilemma faced by the Song Dynasty was already life and death, but unexpectedly, the initiator Li Kui did not take this matter seriously. He had been holding back his ultimate move for a long time, but he was depressed by Li Kui's delay. If it weren't for Cai Jing's trouble this time, Zhang Dun burned the fire to the late Sima Guang and Lu Gong, Su Che was ready to give up.
But the reformist school's actions made him despise. He didn't even let the dead go. Could it be that the rules that the Song Dynasty had finally maintained were completely abolished?
The next day.
In Wende Hall, the little emperor Zhao Xu nervously glanced at the corridor between Wende Hall and Chugong Hall from time to time.
The two halls are connected, and the Wende Hall is just a place for the emperor to rest. According to the usual habits of Emperor Zhao Xu, the emperor would supplement some snacks and tea.
After all, handling the government is very energy-consuming, and sitting in the court for a whole morning is quite tiring.
But at this time, the emperor had no intention of eating and drinking.
As usual, Li Kui came to Wende Hall to fight Mao, then went to the imperial city to find a restaurant to eat at the Chaozhou food, and then went to the Taishi Bureau to watch the assembly of the floor clock. Now, the first floor clock has been assembled, but unfortunately it was very touching when leaving, and it was more than a moment a day. Using Li Kui's familiar calculation method, it was about twenty minutes. It doesn't matter if the clock goes fast, it's easy to adjust, but it's slow, it's really a headache.
If such a clock is sold in later generations, the seller will definitely be caught and beaten.
But for the Song Dynasty, this was a product of the cross-age era and was already magical. Especially the flooring clock was not complicated, it was much simpler than machinery such as the armillary sphere. The Taishi Bureau was originally preparing to celebrate, but Mr. Su Song was about to pay for a treat, and he walked on Yuanfeng Tower. However, Li Kui held it down. He thought that if he had a little result, he would reveal the news, which would make the surprise discount.
It is very simple to say that Tong Susong is. The old man now has no other thoughts, only one wish, to make a precise landing clock when leaving, and then he asked to put his name in front of the developer with a shy face.
The old man is over seventy years old, and he only has one wish. Can Li Kui brutally refuse?
Su Song was guaranteed, so he naturally followed Li Kui's advice.
The only key is not to go accurately. As long as the landing clock leaves accurately, the whole country will be shocked. After all, this thing is a machine that can enter thousands of households.
"Your Majesty, I am here!"
"Li Qing, after you go to court, you are waiting at the back door. Depending on the situation, please hand over this secret letter."
Li Kui looked at the emperor in a daze and hesitated: "Can I see?"
"Look!"
The emperor waved his hand indifferently and said to Li Kui: "Li Qing has good suggestions, you can add them."
Li Kui was stunned. Secret letter, Your Majesty, you are too unfair, right? Open the Secret letter, Li Kui looked at it and became excited when he saw it halfway. Xixia called over. It was time for the man to make achievements!
Keep your anger in the air, you cannot show excitement at this time, but instead be filled with righteous indignation... Alas, how should you pretend to be like a righteous indignant expression?
But the next moment, the little emperor laughed awkwardly and said to Li Kui embarrassedly: "Li Qing, the old senior once taught me that when encountering something difficult to deal with, it would be impossible to divert his sight. He could only use the trick of peeing and shit escape. But after all, I am the emperor, and this matter is difficult to say. Then I thought of such a method that is not a solution. Li Qing, you have been taught by the old senior for many years, and help me see if this plan is feasible?"
Urine escape? Shit escape?
Did the emperor even learn this trick?
Third uncle, you are lacking great virtue! Wouldn't this destroy the emperor?
But what made Li Kui even more nervous was that the secret letter in his hand was fake, so wouldn’t it be a crime of deceiving the emperor with the fake secret letter to scare the important officials in the court?
Li Kui glanced at Hao Sui and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am the young mansion, not the commander of the Imperial City Department. Why don't you let Eunuch Hao send him away?"
Hao Sui's heart was so cold. There was a saying that the wall was falling and everyone pushed him. He hadn't fallen yet. At this moment, even a new official like Li Kui dared to bully him. Is there any reason for it?
It is useless for Hao Sui to be unwilling to do so. The emperor thinks it makes sense, so this is useful.
Zhao Xu was so kind, thinking that Li Kui’s words made sense: “Li Qing was considerate thoroughly and needed to see if there was any problem with the secret letter. If there was no problem, follow the secret letter.”
Li Kui felt that he could do this, so he took it on and said to the emperor: "My minister, follow the order."
So, Li Kui revised the secret letter in Wende Hall. The reason why the secret letter was a secret letter was because few people knew it. But at the same time, the secret letter was about to be revealed, and there was no big information to explode, so the secret letter became the rumor.
Li Kui twisted the pen tube and modified it on the secret fold.
Is the military strategy of Xixia only 50,000 when he came here, is it just like that?
Will Zhang Dun care about 50,000 soldiers and horses like Zhang Dun who commanded more than 100,000 troops to quell the rebellion?
How could this little man scare all the lords in the court? Li Kui waved his pen and changed it to 500,000.
The troops were divided into two groups, and the troops were divided into ten groups. In this way, among the six groups in Shaanxi, at least four groups of military formations would be under the attack of the Xixia army.
The Queen Mother personally seeks!
Now that the Empress Dowager in Xixia is in power, what generals are used? Men, women, young and old all go into battle. If it is not a national war, how can you scare Zhang Dun and others?
Of course, this secret letter cannot be written by a secret spy, nor can it be a military eunuch who knows nothing. He has to find a more powerful frontier official. After thinking about it, Li Kui thought about it, he thought, "You are the only one!"
