Volume B Section 176 Borrowing the topic to play

When Gu Bingqian walked over, he saw Tang Cheng discarding an answer sheet in a large pile of deposed papers with a disdainful face.

"Lord Tang, is you so angry?" Gu Bingqian smiled slightly.

Tang Cheng was extremely dissatisfied with this left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the other party had been running around like a hungry wolf dog in these rooms for food in the past few days, picking faults, but fortunately, the big guys didn't give the other party any chance.

But he is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and even the old man of the Fang Pavilion has to give some face, and it is naturally impossible for him to compete with others when he is reviewed by the Hanlin Academy.

"Master Gu." Standing up and bowing slightly, Tang Cheng sat down, "It's nothing more than some students with vulgar writing, hoping to use eye-catching means to sensationalize, but this person is even worse." ”

Tang Cheng did not hide it, in his opinion, the words and words of this volume itself are very ordinary, and the quotation of scriptures is also shallow, and he can only fool people by pretending to be an expert in his exposition, and he doesn't want to think that you know such a military event as an ordinary person?

So he couldn't help but throw it aside when he saw less than half of it, but he didn't expect to make two complaints casually, but this one was attracted.

Gu Bingqian picked up the scroll without revealing anything, this is a transcribed scroll, and the handwriting naturally can't see the clues, but from the moment he opened the question, Gu Bingqian realized that this scroll was unusual.

"Wealth is the most important thing to be open source."

Gu Bingqian took a breath of cold air in his heart, this is against the sky.

The unanimous view of the imperial cabinet and the household department is that there is a certain amount of wealth in the world, and the imperial court wants to take wealth, then it is natural to compete with the people for profit, you take more, then the people will naturally be less, and if there is less, there will be chaos, so all those who attract attention with commercial taxes, mines, and seas will naturally inevitably encounter opposition.

At present, the opinion within the imperial court is to reduce expenditure, from military salaries, from official salaries, from the expenses of various ministries, especially from the royal family and even the emperor's inner treasury, this is the way of heaven.

Gu Bingqian held back the surprise and joy in his heart, and read it carefully, the language of this article is indeed superficial, and there are very few references to the scriptures, and it is normal for ordinary volumes to be deposed, but the novelty of this argument is unparalleled.

It's no wonder that Tang Cheng didn't even want to finish reading it and discarded it, which obviously went against the point of view of these guys who had been drinking tea in the Hanlin Courtyard all day long.

After reading it carefully, Gu Bingqian found that although many of this article are just some rough suggestions, and there is not much substantive and operational content, it is enough to have such novelty.

And when it comes to military affairs, the style and content have changed again, and it has become extremely practical, and many specific details even Gu Bingqian doesn't know much, but he feels that it should be credible.

When the solution was finally proposed, Gu Bingqian was even more shocked in his heart, collecting business taxes, opening mines, expanding land and opening the sea, each of these articles is almost a violation of the rules of heaven, no wonder Tang Cheng said that this article is grandstanding, that is, the emperor does not dare to take out these strategies at once, just a tax supervisor has already tossed the anger of the heavens.

Gu Bingqian also knows that this article is indeed a bit unrealistic, but is this wrong?

These students themselves have never been exposed to court and political affairs, how can they all be as smooth as old officials, saying some old things that everyone is tired of hearing, is that what the emperor wants?

This article is what the emperor wants!

For Gu Bingqian, it doesn't matter whether this article is practical or feasible, the key is that this article fits the emperor's mind, which is the most important thing.

Gu Bingqian knew that he was not popular with his colleagues, so if he wanted to maintain his current position, he must be favored, and how to get the favor of sainthood naturally had to uphold the holy will.

In just a short period of time, Gu Bingqian had already read this article twice, and he had a decision in his heart.

"Lord Tang, why was this article deposed?" Gu Bingqian's face was gentle, and he even had a smile.

"Why? Lord Gu has been watching it for so long, don't you still understand? Tang Cheng became a little nervous, but quickly calmed down, "The rhetoric is inferior, the style is rough, how can you talk about anything else?" ”

"Good one, not the other!" Gu Bingqian was furious, "You only look at the text and nothing else, no matter how this policy is said and thorough, no matter how close to the practicality and conforms to the holy will, but you turn a blind eye?" You're doing a good job in the same exam! ”

Tang Cheng didn't expect that this ordinary and seemingly humble and outstanding, and even some sycophancy in the court, would suddenly erupt, and directly said that he deliberately disobeyed the holy will, which not only made him feel frightened, but also made him feel extremely angry.

"Master Gu, don't spew blood! This kind of article, no matter who is judged, it is shoddy......" Tang Cheng argued with reason, his neck thickened, and his face turned red.

"Really? Do you mean that your literary talent is higher than that of this official, and your literary rhetoric is stronger than that of this official, and that this official's books have been read in vain in the past few decades, and that Hanlin has been in vain? You are a Hanlin reviewer, you have read a book for a few years, and when you were an editor in the Hanlin Academy, you are afraid that you have not yet enlightened, right? Gu Bingqian's face was hideous, and his eyes flashed with a gloomy light, and he said sharply: "This official sees that you have ill intentions and disregard the holy will, and your heart can be punished!" ”

The dispute between Gu Bingqian and Tang Qiancheng immediately caused a shock in the entire room.

It can be said that it is unprecedented in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a deputy examiner to directly attack a fellow examiner with such harsh and rude words, and Gu Bingqian even directly attacked a colleague with humiliating words, which is unheard of.

Fang Congzhe, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw that the aggressive Gu Bingqian had trained Tang Qiancheng to the point that he almost fainted, this Gu Bingqian usually looked so modest and generous, why did he break out at this time?

Fang Congzhe remained silent and stepped forward slowly: "Master Gu, why are you so angry?" ”

"Elder Ge, this Lord Tang is cunning, he doesn't want to repay the king, but he blindly follows the old ways, this kind of person, the lower officials think that they will definitely delay my current science and technology, and live up to the holy grace,......"

After Gu Congzhe came, Gu Bingqian's tone was slightly softened, but his attitude did not change, Fang Congzhe took the paper and read it with a frown, and the entire marking room was silent, waiting for the examiner's decision.

Fang Congzhe knew that this volume was a big problem after reading it, if it was a paper, there would be no problem in deposing, but this article can really be called something to say, and more importantly, this article is very in line with the meaning of today's saints, and some opinions on the border and military affairs are indeed very incisive, which is difficult to do.

"Lord Gu, in the opinion of the following officials, it is not inappropriate for Lord Tang to depose this article, this article is lacking in style, and the words and sentences are coarse and shallow, even if the officials feel a little reluctant to ,......" Fang Congzhe observed the change in the other party's expression.

Gu Bingqian's temperament is known to the courtiers and officials, not the kind of aggressive and rigid temperament, but today's performance is so strange, it is obviously targeted, even if this article is in line with the Sacred Heart, but it is just an article, even if it is downfall, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, why did Gu Bingqian jump out at this time?

Without waiting for Fang Congzhe to finish speaking, Gu Bingqian had already sneered and picked up the words: "The elder of the pavilion does not dare to agree with the lower officials, and in the opinion of the lower officials, although the rhetoric of this article is not exquisite, but it can also be said to be clear in the text, but this is not important, for the national elector, the first priority is his heart, and then his talent, this proposition is the emperor's appointment, it is aimed at all the shortcomings that my dynasty is facing at the moment, but this article can pinpoint the disadvantages of the times, and the heart of the king is visible in the future, and the follow-up countermeasures proposed by it are still lacking, But its novelty is unprecedented in the more than 100 copies of the official file, is this kind of thought, such talent, still not worthy of a Jinshi qualification? ”

From Gu Bingqian's words, Fang Congzhe could feel the other party's determination, this guy seemed to really want to do something, Fang Congzhe groaned slightly, it is definitely not possible to retreat, then the group of fellow examinees in the Hanlin Academy will be regarded as a betrayal if they adhere to their own intentions, but if they persist, they are afraid that they will obey Gu Bingqian's will and provoke a fight.

Fang Congzhe is still not sure of Gu Bingqian's intentions, he is the deputy chief examiner, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, if he wants to compete with himself, he will not have the upper hand, that is, he will go to the emperor, and in the end it will be the result of his reprimand, thinking of this, Fang Congzhe's heart is slightly cold, isn't this guy just having such thoughts, just to make trouble in front of the emperor?

Is this to deliberately collapse his face, or to invite merit in front of the emperor? Or is it just a combination of both?

Fang Congzhe thought quickly in his heart, and quickly made a decision: "Since Master Gu is pushing this article like this, it is better to put this article on hold first, and then we will agree on it later." ”

Without waiting for Gu Bingqian and Tang Qiancheng to react, Fang Congzhe picked up the volume and left.

Gu Bingqian didn't expect that Fang Congzhe, who had always been domineering, would make such a clean compromise this time, which made him, who was originally going to make trouble, feel like a punch, and in his heart, he had to admire this guy's sophistication and profundity, and when he realized that the situation was wrong, he quickly changed his strategy, and he was really an old and cunning man!

For a while, he lost his mind, he didn't know how to continue, and he wanted to be entangled like this, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only glance at Tang Qiancheng fiercely, and left unwillingly.

Fang Congzhe returned to his room and read this volume carefully, and he had to admit that although this article was sparse in literature and science, it did have some content, no wonder Gu Bingqian would take advantage of this to make trouble, but what was Gu Bingqian's purpose?

That's what you need to think about the most.
