As Zhao Kai came up with the "true truth" of promoting Confucianism that had been prepared for a long time, the first Confucian Congress suddenly turned into a conference that abandoned the decline of the darkness and rushed to the progress of the bright real Confucianism.

Especially Zhu Song, who was not very good at doing things, was not very good at being an official, and had a sparse knowledge, actually became a true scholar and became a true scholar. After the news of becoming a storyteller in Chongzheng Hall spread in Qufu City, the great scholars in Qufu City were all excited.

How could they not be excited? They have much more skills in telling books than Zhu Songqiang. The Four Books and Five Classics, historical books of history, folk stories, folk arts and miscellaneous poems, poems and songs, and can be said differently in any book. 365 days a year!

Moreover, these great scholars are not only good at speaking, but also masters and elders of the Confucian ancestral court, presidents and vice presidents of various Confucian branches, and ministers of the six ministries of Jinling... In short, as long as they become officials, they can do it all!

Of course, they are all great scholars with noble character, treating money and official positions like dirt. The reason they rush to join Zhao Kai is not because of the high official positions he gave, but to revitalize Confucianism, to imitate the sages, preach with swords, to spread benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and to pass on their reputations for generations!

In short, they all resolutely seek progress, light, correct new Confucianism and true Confucianism for the sake of great prosperity, for the people of the world, and for the right path of the world.

Their behavior will definitely be remembered in history and will be admired by all generations... Because Zhao Kai has already planned to hand over the work of history to the Confucian ancestral court. These true Confucians who defected to the Confucian ancestral court can write history themselves in the future, so the history books will definitely say good things for them.

Of course, not all Confucians who came to Qufu to attend the Confucian Confucian Conference are real Confucians, and there is still a pseudo-Confucian who has been involved in the ranks of great Confucians.

For example, Geng Nanzhong, Lu Benzhong, Shao Pu, Li Tong, Cheng Duanzhong, Li Qingzhao and others, in the official history compiled by the Confucian ancestral court, were all pseudo-Confucians who were greedy for high officials and generous salaries in the Southern Song Dynasty, and were all scum of Confucian schools that had been infamous for thousands of years!

However, even though they knew that they were all scum of Confucianism, Zhao Kai, a magnanimous Confucian scholar, did not expel them from the conference, nor deprived them of their right to speak, nor arrested them. Moreover, after the successful conclusion of the first Confucian Congress, he asked a special person to escort them to the south to Chuzhou - they could not make any mistakes, otherwise they would break the rule of "the speaker is not guilty" of Confucian Congress...

After arriving in Chuzhou safely, these Confucian scum did not dare to stay for a moment, but went south day and night. On April 21, they arrived at Jinling City, which was in the storm.

......

Jinling Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Huan, the King of Wu of the Song Dynasty, just walked around in anger in his daily work and in the hall where he summoned ministers. He was only wearing a purple half-old military uniform. After saying that he would show his military uniforms, saying that he would lie on firewood and taste gall, and wait for the sword to cheer up. However, he had lived a comfortable life over the years and did not exercise much (that is, he climbed mountains and walked on stairs at his home, wandered around 10,000 steps every day). He had already gained weight. When he put on a narrow-body military uniform, he looked even more chubby. No matter how he looked, he was a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

At this time, he had a little bit of "hidden pigs and fighting". He knew that something was wrong, but he was still unwilling to give up. But why did he compete with Zhao Kai, a heroic lord who reopened the Song Dynasty and the first generation of scholars of Confucianism?

After convening the Confucian Party Conference and establishing the Confucian Clan, Zhao Kai already had the tools and the title of great righteousness to win over scholars all over the world.

Not to mention that all the Southeast scholars will surrender to Zhao Kai, but they will definitely be divided into two... and there will definitely be more Confucian scholars who surrender to Zhao Kai's side than those who continue to support Zhao Huan.

Geng Nanzhong, Lu Benzhong, Shao Pu, Li Tong, Cheng Duanzhong, Li Qingzhao and others were all sitting in Chongzheng Hall, just looking at Zhao Huan... They still support Zhao Huan!

Geng Nanzhong is Zhao Huan's teacher. He has "educated" such an incompetent disciple throughout his life. How can he bear to betray him? Besides, the struggle between Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan is not bloody, and generally maintains the warmth and decency of the brotherly dispute.

So when Mr. Geng is so old, he doesn't consider being a traitor.

The situation in Lu Benzhong is similar to that of Mr. Geng. The whole family has received great benefits from Zhao Huan. How can they betray now?

Shao Pu is the grandson of the great scholar Shao Yong and the son of Shao Bowen, the great disciple of Cheng's clan. Before the crisis, Xuanhe had already served as an official and had always been a figure in the prince's party. After Zhao Huan became an official, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Later, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was in charge of Southeast Finance for many years. The children in the family were also valued by Zhao Huan and had been deeply tied with Zhao Huan.

Cheng Duanzhong was Cheng Yi's son, but he was not a great scholar, but a Confucian general in the new army of the Southern Song Dynasty. He has served as a military post since the early years of Jingkang. Now he is appointed as the left deputy of the Privy Council... The reason why he went north to Qufu was because his father was Cheng Yi, and the other was ordered to go north to investigate military information.

Needless to say, how could Li Qingzhao, the wife of Zhao Wenzheng, the pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty, defect to Zhao Kai?

It is surprising and admirable that Mr. Yanping Li Tong did not seek an official position in Qufu. He did not serve in the Southern Song Dynasty, but retired to Yamada to do his own knowledge. Even if he defected to Zhao Kai, he was not a traitor, and he was very at ease with his high official and high salary... Therefore, after Zhao Huan learned that Mr. Yanping was not tempted by Zhao Kai's high official and high salary, he was very moved and issued a special order to recruit him as an official, and promoted him to serve as a storyteller in Chongzheng Hall. But Li Tong refused to accept it. He was really a nobleman who was not confused by fame and fortune!

However, Zhao Huan still did not give up. Today, he ordered people to invite Li Tong, who was about to leave Jinling and return to Yanping Mountain to stay in seclusion, to Chongzheng Hall, and together with Geng Nanzhong, Lu Benzhong, Shao Pu, Cheng Duanzhong, Li Qingzhao and others to give him advice... It can be considered as a dead horse to be a living horse!

But now, what else is there? The king and ministers looked at each other sadly. Later, Zhao Huan couldn't even sit still, so he paced around the hall... But seeing his steps were very steady and fast, and he didn't breathe after walking for almost half an hour. It seemed that this little fat man was in good health.

Everyone was in a heavy mood when they looked at the fat little boy Zhao Huan who was wandering around... To be honest, Zhao Huan was not only good at fighting, but also in other aspects. The southeastern area was thriving under his governance and all industries were prosperous.

Moreover, Zhao Huan's Southern Song Dynasty (Wu State) was not weak in military affairs, the navy was invincible, and the army was invincible, maintaining a 100% winning rate. The new army of the Southern Song Dynasty defeated Wanyan Zongbi who invaded Huainan, followed the navy to defeat Goryeo, Vietnam, Chameng, Zhenla, and Tiansun on Ryukyu Island, and forced the Japanese to launch the Song Dynasty movement.

But why is the Southern Song Dynasty, which is invincible in the world, the army is invincible, the economy is prosperous and strong, and the people are happy and happy, now is about to perish?

Where is the law of nature?

Thinking of this, Geng Nanzhong finally couldn't hold back, and stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Official family! You must cheer up! General Tiance is a military and military... I have seen it in Shandong. It's really a depressed industry and a difficult life. It can't be compared with ours. Where can he have money to maintain it? He has now established a Confucian priest and has to spend a lot of money! Where did he get the money? As long as we can hold on, and if we delay it for a year or two, his money will definitely not be enough. What else will he fight with us at that time?"

What Geng Nanzhong said is not all unfounded. Zhao Kai’s economy is indeed not good... It can be said that the army is coming, and the industry and commerce are in a downturn!

I originally wanted to take over Shandong and manage it well and make more money. But now Shandong is not good at all... In the spring of this spring, there are still many places that have caused spring famine. It seems that the vitality cannot be restored without three to five years of development.

Therefore, Zhao Kai's finances are still very difficult!

Shao Pu, who controlled the financial plan for Zhao Huan, also echoed Geng Nanzhong: "The finances of General Tiance are indeed very difficult... and he must have come down to send troops, so we must not transport wealth to the north, let alone hand over Ezhou!"

It turns out that the money Zhao Huan promised to Zhao Kai has not been paid yet. Moreover, the delivery of Jinghu South Road (including Ezhou) has not been completed... Ezhou, the most important in Jinghu, is still in the hands of Wu.

Cheng Duanzhong also said: "As long as Ezhou is in hand, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River will rest assured. The defense of Huaidong is solid, and the Northern Army cannot get through at all... The key now is to defend Huaixi."

The water network in the Huaidong area is crisscrossing and the wide river surface in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River is relying on, making it difficult for the Northern Army to break through.

Huaixi was blocked by the yellow flood area before, so it was very safe, so it did not have good defense. However, the problem was not big, because the Northern Army that broke into Huaixi would be blocked by the Yangtze River and it would be very difficult to cross the river.

Zhao Huan stood up and slowly turned around. His eyes were filled with sorrow, "Where is the hearts of the people? When the hearts of the people are dispersed, the Huai River, and the dangers of the Yangtze River cannot be relied on... Isn't it? The water in Huaixi is shallow and cannot resist the Northern Army. The Yangtze River is so long that it is impossible to set up defenses everywhere... Once the gentry along the river surrenders to the Northern Army in large numbers, what's the difficulty for them to cross the river?"

Yes, the most difficult thing to guard the Yangtze River is to keep people’s hearts!

Because betrayal is too easy and the harvest is too rich... and Zhao Kai now has a double-choice title! There is no need to worry about being infatuated for thousands of years after surrendering to Zhao Kai.

There was silence in Chongzheng Hall.

I don’t know how long it took to hear a Hu Jian accent: “Officials, it seems that we should also establish a Confucian sect... You might as well be a giant Confucian sect!”
