Even if the ministers in the court did not admit it, Zhao Zhen also learned the truth of the matter through the Imperial City Division, although there is no direct evidence, but there is a lot of indirect evidence, the most fundamental is ......

As the king of a country, Zhao Zhen doesn't need them to admit it at all.

What is Guozijian? What is Taixue? Others don't have a chance, and they can't get involved! And who suffered the most from the reform of the imperial examination system?

It is not a student, nor a rich merchant and gentry, nor a court and an emperor, but the most seriously damaged person is the courtiers of the court.

Fame!

The emperor reformed the imperial examination, put Gewu on the table, and integrated Gewu into the Jinshi Branch, which means that the courtiers in the future will be proficient in Gewu, and which of the current courtiers really has a study of the way of Gewu?

In addition to Zeng Gongliang, Ding Du and the others are afraid that there are not many of them, of course, Su Xun who is running around on Gewu is not counted, he cares about Gewu very much, and plans to live to learn from the past, and the official family reuses him in this aspect.

It can be seen from this that whoever attaches importance to Gewu will be favored by the officials, but the courtiers do not want this, especially the Wenchen, they are one of the most important forces to contain the imperial power, and the rights of the military generals in the Great Song Dynasty have been completely suppressed by the imperial power, and it is impossible to threaten the imperial power at all.

Because of their natural characteristics, Wenchen could not make a direct confrontation with the imperial power, and could only play a role in containment, and the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty hoped that the official family would not attach so much importance to Gewu, and even if they did, it should not be raised to the current level.

But Zhao Zhen's insistence on going his own way made the ministers feel fearful, this is from the fear of the imperial power's arbitrariness, for fear that the last power in his hands will also be wiped out by the imperial power, the best place in the politics of the Great Song Dynasty lies in openness, and the imperial power has little or no interference in the political environment of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the best means to limit the single husband and the people!

The opposition of the ministers to the reform of the imperial examination system was not only to oppose the inclusion of Gewu in the imperial examination and to oppose the abolition of the Taixue system, but also to show the power of the civil servants to the imperial power.

Zhao Zhen sat in the empty Qinzheng Palace, and in front of him was the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painted by Zhao Shilei of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to praise Zhao Zhen's martial arts, but in this empty hall, Zhao Zhen felt particularly eye-catching.

All dynasties and dynasties have works with the theme of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and Tang Xuanzong ordered Wu Daozi to paint them, but in the end, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are still left in the calligraphy and paintings, but they are lost in the hands of future generations.

There was no one in the empty Qinzheng Palace, and it was quiet as if even the wheezing sound of the official family could be heard, Sancai carefully opened the door and looked at it, and finally gritted his teeth and walked into it with the fire soup sent by the queen, the squeaking sound of the palace door was uncomfortable, but it also broke the dead silence in the Qinzheng Palace.

The sky was already dark, and the dead silence in the palace of diligence made the inner attendant of the palm lamp dare not move forward, so he could only ask for help from Sancai, who shook his head, holding the gourd leaf soup in one hand, and inserting the fire fold in the hand of the inner attendant of the palm lamp in the other hand to be belted.

The Qinzheng Hall is the place where the three talents enter and exit the most, even if they have their eyes closed, they can walk calmly, not to mention that it is just dark? Carefully bypassing a gilded crane candlestick, Sancai put the gourd leaf soup in his hand on Zhao Zhen's imperial case, and with a finger of his other hand, the fire fold emitted a faint red light......

Putting down the gourd leaf soup, lighting the palace candles, and a series of actions are smooth, which is something that Sancai has long been accustomed to, but the difference is that the official family does not dislike the gourd leaves in the gourd leaf soup today......

Looking at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the throne and staring at "The Map of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Sancai whispered: "Official, the queen sent someone to send the gourd leaf soup to the fire, and the official family has not eaten dinner, how can she manage the government on an empty stomach?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly: "I am offending the ministers in the court, saying that the emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, Chrysostom and Yuyan, and the export becomes a constitution, but I still have to face all kinds of invisible constraints, when Taizu took over the world with a mutiny, the rights of the military generals were restricted to death, and the elevation of the status of the civil servants made them constrain the imperial power, but compared to the military generals, it is still easier for the civil servants to deal with!" Let's just wait! ”

Since Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, Sancai fell prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head, the words of the official family involved Taizu, and involved the imperial power, not he could listen to it, when Zhao Zhen kicked him, he got up, and said with a smile: "Where is the official family, you are the son of the Great Song Dynasty!" He is the lord of the world, within the four seas, outside the eight wildernesses......"

"Shut up, don't affect my appetite!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Sancai, and helplessly put down the spoon in his hand: "Within the four seas, outside the eight wildernesses?" I haven't even pacified the Liao Dynasty, how can I say that it is within the four seas? I haven't even exterminated the Eight Desolations of the Wa Kingdom?!

Do you know how big the world really is? If you don't know, don't open your mouth, now that Gewu is in charge, the emphasis is on Gewu Zhizhi, don't make people laugh after going out from my side. ”

Sancai shrunk his neck: "The lesson of the official family is that it's just that the ministers in the court don't treat Gewu very well." Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed, and Sancai knew from the laughter of the official family that the official family was despising his words.

"Naturally, they don't want to see Gewu, because they are not born in Gewu, and who doesn't know Gewu in the future? Who doesn't like things? If you want to get my reuse, you have to support Gewu, you look at Pang Ji, Xia Zhu and others, who of them is not the mastermind behind the scenes? Although so many students have died, although they deserve it, they should have done it, not been designed by them to die! ”

Sancai gasped, looked in the direction of the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and muttered: "In this way, this is a bitter trick of theirs, and this literati is also a little ruthless!" Many of them came from poor homes, and it is not easy to provide for a scholar! ”

Zhao Zhen sneered: "Yes! It's not easy, but it's nothing compared to the rights of their civil servants! The most uncomfortable thing for me is Yan Shu, he shouldn't be involved in it! ”

Sancai whispered: "Maybe Yan Xiang was unintentionally involved in this matter, and the slaves and maids and the people of the Imperial City Division didn't find out that it had anything to do with him." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "Yan Xiang is not something he can call, this word specifically refers to banquet babies!" You don't have to be careful, it's not against the king that the two peaches kill the three soldiers, and he Yan Shu will never do this kind of thing to provoke the monarch and ministers. He just didn't want me to find out, and he hid himself very well, one should be punished, the other should be killed, and the two crimes should not be compared! I know you hate Yan Shu, but you can't get rid of him because you hate him! ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhen looked at Sancai, who was kneeling on the ground, and said again: "Everyone has the right to choose their own future, even the lowliest and most noble people......"
