930 The storm rises
After washing, his head was still a little dizzy, but his stomach was gurgling, just in time for the meal, Hong Tao planned to barely eat a few bites before sleeping. But as soon as I arrived at the flower hall, I saw a banner hanging on the wall, the content was quite familiar, if it weren't for this clear sentence in my memory, Hong Tao wouldn't have recognized all these words.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations...... Don't give him a good paper when Old Man Su comes in the future, especially after drinking, what kind of broken words is this, ruining things! "It's so much written, you can smell the wine from the paper when you close your eyes, and normal people really can't write such a shaky and seemingly inverted feeling.
“…… This word was written by the husband, and when Su Daguan left, he also took two pairs, saying that as soon as this word came out, he would never mention calligraphy again, and he would find someone to engrave it at the gate of the college. Lian'er held the rice bowl in one hand, pointed to the payment below with chopsticks, and took some food by the way. She can really eat, and the amount of food is about to catch up with Hong Tao.
"I wrote it?" Hong Tao blushed a little, usually in addition to signing documents, he cherishes Mobao very much and never shows it to outsiders easily. I didn't expect that Baimi would finally have a mistake, and this time it was not only seen by outsiders, but also taken out to engrave a monument.
"......" everyone at the table nodded seriously.
"Meiyue, go and let Yiku prepare the horse, this king is going to the academy to settle accounts with Old Man Su!" Old man Su was so ruthless that he fell into the well, for fear that he would lose his face. Hong Tao decided not to eat first, he must snatch back the two pairs of ink treasures, and he will not hesitate to use force!
"Wait...... Why should the husband be like this, there is nothing wrong with the words that can make Su Daguan's eyes red, just let him go. The eldest princess stopped Mitsuki, personally put some food into Hong Tao's bowl, and whispered comfort.
“…… Do you think this word can be read? Hong Tao's head was a little dizzy, but his mind was completely clear, as if he heard something from the eldest princess's words, and he was not sure.
"I really can see it...... The concubine has also seen many famous works, this word does not dare to say that it is self-contained, but it is also otherworldly, and it is very controllable. In the past, only Daofujun's poetry and paintings were quite profound, and he was so good at not thinking about words. The eldest princess became more and more emotional the more she spoke, her eyes were all small stars, and she couldn't stop nodding with a table of people, and there were also a lot of little stars.
"Uh...... Then let him go! Meiyue, put away all the remaining words, and go to the stonemason to carve a tablet in front of the house, and this will be our family's motto in the future. Eat, eat! ”
Hong Tao glanced at the banner again, as if he also felt that it was a little otherworldly. Since the eldest princess said that it is good, it must be good, her daughter-in-law is half a talented woman, and she is not proficient in literary accomplishment, poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting, but she can do everything, and she will definitely not lie to herself.
Don't investigate what's so good, even if someone tells you that you can't see it. It should be that part of the memory of the original Wang Shu was awakened after the fragmentation, and then with the intention of drinking, the blind cat bumped into the dead mouse.
Anyway, I must not have run away as a great calligrapher. Others can not believe themselves, but they will never doubt Old Man Su's character, he said that if he wrote it himself, then it must be written by himself.
As long as this character is engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the academy, hey, there is another genre in the later generations. Thinking about being on the same level as Wang Xizhi, Hong Tao immediately stopped fainting, his appetite was great, he looked at the words, ate a mouthful of food, and was very fragrant!
The stone monument at the entrance of the Yangtze River College was erected very quickly, but there were not many celebrities who came to participate in the ceremony, this was still looking at the face of the old man Su, and the expression on his face after seeing Hong Tao was not very natural, and he didn't even drink a glass of wine after a simple ceremony, and he left more than half of the day.
The reason is very simple, the newspapers have almost serialized the affairs of the Huangzhou Meeting, and the responsibilities are basically clear. To sum it up, these things are not the mistakes of the New Deal, but a small group of unscrupulous officials, with the connivance of a certain court bigwig, using the New Deal for personal gain.
Those unscrupulous local officials have been arrested, and the working groups of dozens of state capitals have been disbanded on the spot and replaced by investigation teams sent by the imperial court. His Majesty the Emperor also issued a special edict to punish himself, assumed the responsibility of unfavorable supervision, and asked all the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty not to allow similar situations to occur again.
As for who the important minister of the court was, the newspapers did not say it clearly, but there are some things that everyone understands, except for the regent who holds the military power, who can have such great power.
If there were many Song people in the past, especially the old-school scholars, who didn't like the regent, it was because the new deal deprived them of some of their privileges, but it was still beneficial to the common people, and the only criticism of the people for this first hero of the Great Song Dynasty was that he killed too much.
But as soon as this incident came out, public opinion was very unfavorable to the regent. In the past, the heavy killings were basically foreign races and enemies, if even their own people were ruthlessly tossed to death, who could say that it was good?
Not only the old literati, but also some landlords and gentry, and even the local people began to criticize the regent, believing that if this person was not removed, the Great Song Dynasty would never have peace. As for his merits to the country, it is not that he has forgotten, but that he has temporarily selectively lost his memory.
Not everyone is so ruthless, in the current environment, there are really people in the newspaper who complain about the regent, thinking that the main responsibility cannot be blamed on one person, it should be the subordinates who deceive the superiors and subordinates.
In order to illustrate his arguments, he also cited many examples in Ganliang Road, Daimyo's Mansion and Youzhou in those years, so as to prove that the regent could not talk about loving the people like a son, but he was also a very reasonable person, and he would not mess around like this, let alone harm people's lives in order to encroach on acres of land and collect money.
If you want land, there are millions of acres of land in the north, and I haven't seen him occupy a single acre, and if you want money, the most profitable industry in the Great Song Dynasty is basically made by him.
Those who have this kind of insight, can analyze problems rationally, and dare to speak out openly come from two relatively large groups. The students of Cheung Kong College were the first to start, and even the research society, which had always had opinions on the new policy, changed its position and stood in the queue to cry out for the regent.
This was followed by more prominent chambers of commerce, especially maritime merchants in coastal capitals. At first, they didn't dare to speak out, but after seeing the articles of the students of Yangtze River College, they came later.
The Chamber of Commerce has rich social relations and organizational skills, and is more united and able to operate collectively than the landlords and gentry of one village, one county, one state and one government. Compared with the old-school literati, they have money, and they are more able to spend, which is very efficient.
Who is the loudest? The merchants have long been accustomed to newspapers, and even many local newspapers are set up by them, and they are the group that understands how to use newspapers.
Beginning with the two provinces of Fujian, the newspapers in various coastal areas quickly changed the direction of public opinion, from crusading against the traitorous ministers, powerful ministers, and avenging the grievances of the people, to in-depth analysis of the specific responsibility of this incident, and the words were to shirk the responsibility that should not belong to the regent.
One side said that the regent was the scourge of the country, and the other said that the regent was the protector of the country, and the two sides quarreled. The noisy and noisy limelight changed again, and the theme changed from the question of the regent to attacking each other.
Whoever comes forward to speak out for the regent will be smeared by the newspapers with an opposing attitude, and they are eager to dig up the eight generations of their ancestors and dry them, and the problem of big farts can be magnified many times.
The businessmen and students were not ambiguous, and when it came to the ability of the neighbors to quarrel, they said that they were second, and no one dared to say that they were first. Anyway, no one can be convicted of words now, so let's open the greeting.
Now it's lively, the righteous people who looked like dogs and talked eloquently in the newspaper two days ago will be criticized in the blink of an eye for being incomplete, holding their heads and running around. Compared with the merchants, the literati of the old school really did not have an advantage in the technique of personal attacks, and could only rely on the traditional advantages of scholars and doctors to barely hold their positions, so as not to completely rout.
This great debate quickly swept the entire Great Song Dynasty from south to north and from east to west, and even Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna of Haidong Kingdom could see it, and sent people over again and again to ask Hong Tao if he was in any trouble and whether he needed to send troops to support him.
