Vol 2 Chapter 23: Unity

   "Zhao Xianggong, you have to control Hu Quan!"

  In the Chongwenyuan where the capital province is located, Zhao Ding heard these words again, and this time it was Liu Dazhong, the official secretary. "If this continues, I'm afraid the party struggle will re-emerge!"

Zhao Ding, who was dealing with official duties, sighed secretly when he heard the words, but on the surface, he was calm. He waved his hand to indicate that Fan Zongyin, who is coming for business, and the other officials in the public house were taking refuge, and then he did not rush away. A: "Hu Quan is good at publishing supplements again?"

   "It doesn't matter if you issue supplements without authorization, the key is the content!" Liu Dazhong was almost frustrated. "If he publishes supplements to tell the original theory, tell stories, report news, or even advertise to the Cuju game, why would it be like this?"

   "What about the content?" Zhao Ding remained unchanged. "Liu Shangshu sit down."

   "My son in Taixue School happened to be taking turns to copy the Dibao today, and he rushed out to tell me that Hu Quan had posted Qi Huan's allusions about good and evil today!" Liu Dazhong was right. "You said, what did he mean, do you want the central hundred officials to get rid of half?!"

   Hearing this allusion, Zhao Yuanzhen also had a headache.

   Without him, this allusion is too famous. It said that Mr. Qi Huan came to a small city and saw that the place was in ruins. He was very curious. As a result, others told him that the ruler of this place was'good, evil and evil', so he perished. Of course Qi Huangong wondered, "recognize good people, hate bad people" why the city is still in ruins?

   As a result, the local people continued to tell Qi Huangong that the monarch recognized good people but couldn't use good people, and hated bad people but couldn't drive them out, so his city became ruins.

   And this allusion is so famous and ancient that it has almost become the standard allusion for everyone to say that the monarch impeaches others. Coupled with the fact that Hu Quan himself, who had been scolding the masters and the masters in the temple before, and the current situation, the intentions were even more obvious.

   "Liu Shangshu, sit down." After a headache, Zhao Ding tried his best to maintain his prime minister's demeanor.

   Liu Dazhong snorted, finally found a chair and sat down at random, and waited for Zhao Ding to give him a word.

  , however, said that Liu Dazhong took office when Zhang Jun went south to Dongting Lake, the supervisor, and the recommender was Zhao Ding, and since this person took office, he has almost obeyed Zhao Dingyan. In fact, everyone knows that the two Shangshu, Liu Dazhong and Hu Shijiang of the Ministry of War, plus a very cooperative deputy governor of the capital Liu Ji, it is Zhao Xianggong who dominates the world like an instructor in the capital. The key support of government affairs.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Shengfei, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has a mild temperament. Although he has always cooperated with the provincial government, he is recognized as Lu Yihao; the Shangshu Linqi of the Hubu has been working for three or four years, and he is from the Li Gang shogunate. The Shangshu Wang Shu of the criminal ministry should have been with Zhao Ding. I walked close, but unexpectedly because the position of the main battle was very close to that of the Privy Council. As for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he took Zhang Jun, Tian Shizhong, and Yang Yizhong to **** him and served as deputy The marshal and supervising the tea and salt affair in Southeast Asia, and finally Liang Yangzu, who entered Beijing because Yaoshan abandoned his very official position after the war... This person has extremely strong political capital and a famous background (his father is the prototype of Liang Zhongshu in the Water Margin), but he has always been modest. Retreat is an impartial and fair gentleman.

All in all, after the Nanyang reorganization of the imperial court, under the situation where the six books of Shangshu have become more and more important, Liu Shangshu sitting in such an important position will know that he is naturally a figure like Zhao Ding’s arms, so Zhao Ding has nothing to do with this person. Any reason to conceal one's heart.

"Liu Shangshu, the officials talk about'utility', advocating Wang Shu Wang, even with the "Guan Zi" to become a prominent school, Hu Quan's denial of this, we can not say anything wrong, and this matter is not in Hu Quan at all, but in the official Home." After thinking about it, Zhao Ding was honest and right.

   "Zhao Xianggong." Liu Dazhong was also relieved at this time, but he shook his head again and again. "Why don't you understand what you mean by the official, but the official mind is so straightforward, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and Hu Quan has received the official's advice!"

   Zhao Ding finally sighed.

  In other words, there is no need to talk about what the Zhao official’s mind is. It is the main battle, it is the Northern Expedition! The posture of this official is obvious from beginning to end...The edict on Huai Shang’s prohibition of active remarks has not been revoked until now. A letter from the north must be handed out directly. The golden man will go to the hall for a time to make incense. Don't give any ministers the opportunity to speak directly, so that he will go straight away after "Jueying". What do you want?

   "There must be no official instructions. Hu Quan did it privately. However, the official attitude is ambiguous and there is no need to shy away from deliberate indulgence." Zhao Ding continued to meditate. "I mean, to figure out the crux of the officials in this matter..."

   "The partition wall has no ears, even if you say it." Liu Dazhong frowned slightly, but couldn't help adding a little more. "If there are ears on the wall, it's okay if you don't do it with the minister of etiquette!"

Zhao Ding ignored the other party’s complaint, but said slowly in the room: "I think there are two cruxes. One is that the official intentions of the war are unshakable. Seeing that the officials of the half-dynasty have the intention of agreeing to make peace. , Inevitably the monarch's will to go his own way..."

   "If you can get to the south of the Yellow River without fighting, and welcome the two saints back to you, make peace for a while, recuperate for several years, wouldn't it be okay?" Liu Dazhong reluctantly shook his head. Obviously, when he made the last division of the day, he agreed to make peace.

"This matter is public and reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable... If you negotiate a peace, everything is good, but how should the hearts of the people of the two rivers be dealt with? Not to mention the two rivers, or how many escaped the river, how? Confess?"

   "Aren't the officials doing good work?" Liu Dazhong stamped his feet in the seat. "How can we just talk about righteousness and not utility at this time? What about taking a rest and resuming the Northern Expedition?"

   Zhao Ding was silent for a while, but continued to say: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being... Then just now, two things, the official family seems to be resistant to welcoming the second sage..."

   "It's not like there is, but there is no doubt." Liu Dazhong heard this, but he rose in awe. "Furthermore, the official thought that this matter is more difficult to say. Xianggong, before the official was in a foreign country, and heard the rumors, I still didn't believe it. Today I know that the suspicion of the heavenly family is here!"

   "The officials may not be suspicious, but I think there are more resentments." Zhao Ding replied earnestly.

   "Whether it is suspicion or hate, it's unclear, and it's unclear at the top, and it's unclear at the bottom." Liu Dazhong said helplessly. "We said it was suspicion, and officials said that it was hate. We said it was hate. The officials said that they couldn’t say that they were suspicious... Zhao Xianggong, the key is not here. The key is that some things are clearly understood by everyone, but why do the officials have to. How about doing this? Can't the matter of the negotiation be changed a little? Can't the matter of the Second Saint be covered up a little? The consequences of directly shaking and revealing without precautions are now the suspicion of internal and external, and the loss of dignity! "

   Zhao Ding also nodded slightly.

In fact, this is the problem, and it is also the root cause of the weird atmosphere in the court in just a few days after the Jinshi left on that day. The behavior of the Zhao official family has clearly and unmistakably touched the foundation of Confucian society, that is, the basic three principles and five constants. .

The patriarchal social system created by Confucianism, regardless of whether it is good or bad, is indeed a stable and useful thing. For many years, everyone has adapted to use it to maintain social stability... Wang Anshi held it with Sima Guang during the reform. A case of Ayun in Dengzhou has been seen repeatedly for decades. Is it idle? It's not about the foundation of Confucian ethics!

  And now, the Zhao official family not only has to challenge ethical issues, but also pushes such an ethical contradiction to these bureaucrats... You say that the ruler is the minister and the father is the son. But who is your ruler now? The king's father made a terrible mistake against ethics, what should you do? Against? What is the difference between you and the official? Default or agree? Isn't that helping the officials to violate the general rule together?

   But if the Zhao Guanjia is more secretive and pretends to be a little bit more pretending, can't you let these things go through? Must everyone be embarrassed?

  Instructions, if you say one thousand things and ten thousand, the Yaoshan War had too much influence. Both the situation between the two countries, as well as the internal military, political, and personnel affairs of the two sides, including the authority of the ruling party, have undergone drastic changes.

After the war, everyone in mind knew that in the internal political situation of the Song Dynasty, the Zhao official family already had the ability to lift the table, but the problem is, as the ruler, isn't your main historical mission to keep the official from lifting the table? ?

Don’t forget, this is not the first time that Zhao Guan’s family has tried to engage in the low-end ethical stalk of the Second Saint. He did it after he was in the old capital last time, but Lu Haowen cried back on the spot... This time you have the ability to do it. Zhao Ding also cried back?

   "Liu Shangshu, I thought there was a trade-off between the two things." After Zhao Ding nodded, he was finally honest.

   "Xiangong meant to say... to retreat from one and take the second?" Liu Dazhong immediately woke up.

   "Not bad." Zhao Ding finally said his response. "I mean, let's write a letter together. The province, the Privy Council, the six departments and the nine princes... That day, one of the people in the temple counts as one, and they signed together and asked to plan the Northern Expedition to show selflessness. But please also Officials, be a little decent in the matter of the two sages!"

   Liu Dazhong was silent for a while.

"Liu Shangshu, it's impossible for an official to make a peace talk like this after all, and the resistance to this matter is greater than you think... There are two things you may not know yet, Wang Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry ( Wang Shu) came down from the temple that day and said to me that talking about Hu Quan’s words made him feel like a block in his chest; and Zhang Shuxiang just wrote a note, arguing that Hu Quan was editing and repairing the Privy Council and reporting to the military plane as the reason, demanded The provincial governor handed over the issue of the residence newspaper to the Privy Council."

   Liu Dazhong looked up in shock: "Is this really a partisan fight?"

   "Can't fight!" Zhao Ding confronted them solemnly. "I've said it, the official meaning is there! And since I, Zhao Ding, is the prime minister of the capital, I am not allowed to engage in party disputes in the DPRK again!"

   Liu Dazhong was stunned for a while, but in the end he nodded: "If this is the case, I have to find an individual to talk to the official."

   "No need." Zhao Ding was stern again. "One is that we can't control the officials after all; the other is that the officials are frivolous and stubborn. In fact, they have a rough idea in their hearts and they must understand what we mean."

   "Never mind!" Liu Dazhong thought for a long time and finally got up. "In that case, I will contact my colleagues in Zhudu Province for you..."

   Zhao Ding was finally relieved.

  , however, said that while Zhao Xianggong was painstakingly maintaining the unity of the imperial court, the Zhao official family, who had made everyone not united, did not have any consciousness. On the contrary, he was in a high mood these days and had been dealing with martial arts matters.

As I said before, Zhao Guan’s family was ignorant and did not know that Zhao Song had always learned martial arts, and thought that he was engaged in system innovation... In fact, people’s martial arts came from the Renzong dynasty, just imitating it. Those who were too learned, the students were admitted to be taught, combined with the martial arts system, very advanced, but there was not the kind of high-level martial arts that Zhao officials expected to intervene in the promotion of generals.

   Not only that. As the saying goes, one can gain wisdom from one ditch. After asking about Bao Bao and Yang Yizhong, the official Zhao knew that Zhao Song actually had nursing homes, shelters for the disabled, a medical promotion bureau, and a cemetery system.

   Well, the systems are all good systems, but the actual implementation is very different.

   For example, the highest school of martial arts under the Imperial College had only one professorship throughout the year, and just like the Taixue before Cai Jing's restructuring, it only provided training for imperial examinations.

   For another example, nursing homes and shelters for the disabled are of course very good, but in fact they generally stay at the level of a model project of some officials, and they have only been in operation for a few years.

The cemetery system is also similar. The assessment methods are also very good, but the main thing is not supervised. The favorite trick of the monks in charge of the cemetery is to dismantle the corpses like Jin Tianyi. Five corpses are divided into six, and enough to go to the court. To save money... In this case, many poor people would rather choose to be cremated than to be put in the cemetery.

The only thing worth mentioning is the medical promotion system... At the end of the Song dynasty, both the government and the private sector paid unprecedented attention to the promotion of medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Not to mention the emergence of famous doctors, medical administrative institutions, medical business institutions and medical education institutions were very sound. . The center not only has the Hanlin Medical Officer Hospital, the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Medicine Hospital, and even the Imperial Medicine corresponding to the Taixue, and the martial arts are all advanced, and they are directly ranked according to the three-house method. Not only that, medical officials are stationed in various government offices, military camps, and localities, and a large number of epidemic prevention medicinal materials are allocated every year in remote areas.

   It can only be said that with regard to the medical system alone, as Pan Guozhang explained throughout the article, Zhao Guanjia only felt that he was really ashamed of the times.

However, these things were destroyed once in Jingkang, and it was not until the third year of Jianyan that they began to rebuild the corresponding institutions of the central center. Only last year did they start to purchase drugs again, but they still took the path of military expenditure and used them in the barracks... and Pan Guo Zhang said that he seemed to want the official Zhao family to allocate some money to restore the former glory as soon as possible, but in the end he was fooled by the official's haha.

   It's not bad that he didn't ask the head of the country for money. What about funding?

   In fact, the rebuilding of the martial arts school of Zhao Guan’s house also spent a lot of money. The idle Yanfu Palace at the back of the palace was taken out as a school building, and then Li Qiong, Wang De, Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan and others took turns as professors.

   And Wu Jie is a bit better than Zhang Jun. Not only did he send corresponding officers for training~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but also sent dozens of young Guanzhong children to enrich martial arts.

"What name do you call?" After chatting with the imperial rear army and the right army officers, the official Zhao's family couldn't help noticing the children of Guanzhong, and turned around, and he saw that the leader had no hair on his mouth. Qi, but the young martial artist who is extraordinarily tall and majestic, and with extra thick shoulder muscles, feels like a bit of the best of all over the world.

   You must know that just by looking at this person's skeleton, you have a taste for Han Shizhong.

   "I..." This person was obviously at a loss because of his youth, he didn't know what to say when he wanted to speak, and he didn't know how to bow when he wanted to salute, just for a moment.

   "Return to the officials." Wu Lin, who had sent these officers and martial arts students to Wu Yan, quickly stepped forward from the rear to respond. "This person has the same name as Zhongfu, the same name as Zhang Zhongfu, the commander of the imperial cavalry army, but the surname is Wang. He is from a local tycoon in Jingzhao... He entered the county school as a teenager, and he has made good progress, but he is still A natural martial artist who was only 18 years old, he had already beaten Jingzhao Invincible. A month ago, the king of Yan'an was in Chang'an. He heard his name and went to test. He was a genius. He was originally intended to be used in the army, but after hearing that the official wanted to run a martial arts school, he recommended him and asked the minister to bring him along."

   Zhao Jiu held his hand to match, nodded slowly, as if he was extremely satisfied, and then went to see the next student.
