Chapter 399: The Journey of Argument

The first thing is clan upbringing.

This is what the Queen Mother meant. Nowadays, there are more than 800 descendants of the Zhao and Song Dynasty clan with the title of deputy captain or above, but there are only six clan instructors.

The Queen Mother was deeply worried and made it clear to the Queen: When did the knowledge of the royal family become worse than that of an orphan girl in the southwest border?

As soon as the pillow wind blew, Zhao Shu ordered the appointment of additional professors from the clan, totaling twenty-seven teachers.

He also specially asked the people of Zhongshushe to draft an edict and send it to all clan families: the most fearful thing is that studies will be wasted midway, and education should be sustained. The addition of professors is one aspect, and parents' discipline of their children to study hard is another aspect, which must be paid attention to.

This matter should not have been controversial in the first place. The problem was that science and engineering had become part of royal education, and ministers began to object.

Su You felt speechless. It was really funny that his journey of arguing started from science and engineering, which was closely related to him.

Uncle Cao Guo, Brother-in-law Gao, Si Tianjian, and Ji Si wrote letters one after another, firmly siding with the emperor.

Brother-in-law Gao is especially arrogant. Now he is better at breaking salt than green salt, riding a sword better than Qingfeng, and the crane-shank crossbow can break the warts. I used science and engineering in Shangzhou to make five million arrow shafts out of waste materials, which is enough.

It meets the needs of the entire Shaanxi Province and eliminates the trouble of mobilizing transportation from the southeast, southwest, Tokyo and Xijing. Are you all blind if you dare to say that science and engineering are useless?

The ministers then realized, yes, governing the people is the responsibility of the scholar-bureaucrats. Isn't it a good thing to leave these little things to the clan? According to the routine they opposed, wouldn't cultivating the clan mean stealing their own jobs?

When Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi's memorials arrived, they also mentioned that science and engineering were indeed helpful to the country. In the first game, the emperor won.

In the second round, eunuchs were sent to Shaanxi to supervise the army.

Emperor, are you going crazy? The admonishing officer Lu Hui immediately objected.

Your Majesty, since the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a time when the military was not in a good position, and it was not caused by the supervisory army!

Nowadays, even a small idle horse, with the lowest official status, can cause great harm all the way. Emperor, do you still want to explicitly appoint them as governors, so that they can actually hold half of the power of the comfort envoys?!

"Begging the court to let him go, carefully selecting his commanders, delegating everything to the committee, and making full use of the power that the common people have."

The imperial censors Fu Yaoyu and Zhao Zhan both commented on it, and it became a stalemate.

The reaction from Shaanxi was very strange. Su You and Xue Xiang had a detailed discussion and concluded that the problem of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty was caused by the system rather than the people.

Military chiefs and local officials need to supervise and ensure that there is nothing wrong with the general direction of this policy.

But there is only one thing: the ability and conduct of the supervisors should be consistent with their positions.

Su You gave Xue Xiang advice. If the emperor's opinion cannot stop him, we will say so.

It's easy to arrange people and let them all come to Weizhou.

If the internal officials dare to act recklessly, I will dare to imitate Zhang Guaiya and ask him whether he should play first and then behead, or first behead and then play!

There were no eunuchs in the Song Dynasty. How old was I, Su Mingrun? I was only eighteen.

As long as the land is not abandoned in the face of war, no matter how angry the officials are, they can't kill me. Twenty years later, I will only be thirty-eight, and I will still be a good man!

So I have no objection to the eunuchs, and if you dare to come, feel free to come. Weizhou now wishes he could split one into two and use them as they are short of people!

According to the report, the emperor won the second round.

In the third round, Wang Chou, a Hanlin scholar and minister of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the deputy privy envoy.

This is chaos, and the ministers are determined not to give in.

It turned out that one night, Zhao Shu was working in the small hall and needed someone to draft an edict, and Wang Chou happened to be on duty.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Shu said happily: "I have known you for being a straightforward and studious person. I have known you for a long time, not just today."

The appointment came within a few days.

In fact, Wang Chou's official reputation and knowledge were good, but this appointment was an internal order, and ministers with integrity were unwilling to accept it, so "Chou resigned without paying homage."

Zhao Shu kept him talking for a long time, and Wang Chou had no choice but to agree.

Next, Zhao Shu began to do the work of the ministers and said to Ouyang Xiu: "Chou is good at articles."

Ouyang Xiu replied: "He is also strong and upright, but he does not have a great reputation."

It means that good character and good articles are of no use. The deputy privy minister needs someone who can control the army. Lao Wang is not suitable.

Zhizhigao Qian Gongfu directly returned the prefix and did not issue an edict for Zhao Shu, saying that Wang Chou was too young to be useful because he was a vegetarian in Taiwan.

Zhao Shu was angry. My first employment edict was to impose strict orders. Is this okay?

Demoted! Demoted to Chuzhou as Deputy Tuan Lian envoy. He did not sign the deputy Tuan Lian envoy's letter on the affairs of this state!

This is actually taking away the clean errands and managing the residence.

The imperial edict that demoted Zhi Zhi Gao was still written by Zhi Zhi Gao. Zu Zhi Zhi Gao had no choice but to return it again. The punishment was too heavy and I couldn't write this edict.

Zhao Shu wanted to punish Zu Wuze again, but Han Qi, the chief minister, quit and tried every means to get his ancestor out of trouble. As a result, he was fined thirty kilograms of copper.

The most innocent person to talk about this matter is Wang Chou. The old man is fifty-eight years old, but he was pushed out by the emperor to be used as a gun.

The reason is that he repeatedly wrote letters asking the Queen Mother to return power, and Zhao Shu now wants to "repay" him.

There are actually many ways to repay, and it is really speechless to use the position of deputy privy envoy, which is the most unsuitable position for Wang Chou, to "repay".

The old man is Mei Xun’s son-in-law. Who is Mei Xun? A model of elegance among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty.

It is said that before going out every morning, Mei Xun would burn two burners of incense, unfold his official robe and cover it on the incense burner.

Then he gathered up his long sleeves to prevent the fragrance from dissipating. After sitting down in the office, he unfolded his sleeves and filled the entire office with fragrance.

His incense also changed frequently, and both Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong liked it very much. The two emperors often summoned him just to smell Mei Xun's new incense.

According to "Mengxi Bi Tan", when Mei Xun was in the Hanlin Academy, he was struggling to draft official documents and went for a walk on Kaifeng Mansion Street to relieve his boredom.

Seeing a veteran lying on the street corner basking in the sun, he couldn't help but sigh: "How happy!"

So he stopped and asked the veteran: "Are you literate?"

The veteran replied: "I can't read."

The old man nodded and said, "That would be happier."

It has the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The old man had a poor official career in his life, but his students had a prosperous official career, and many of them were prime ministers involved in politics. Ouyang Xiu wrote his epitaph, and Wang Anshi wrote him a Shinto tablet.

In addition, Old Man Mei also had his son Mei Yaochen, the first-class poet in the Song Dynasty, his son Mei Dingchen, a Hanlin scholar, his son-in-law, and Wang Chou's own reputation.

There will be absolutely no resistance among the courtiers.

But Zhao Shu just did this. Su You could only interpret it as that he was taking advantage of national affairs to get angry with the courtiers.

As long as it is my will, you have to listen even if it is an arbitrary order! I want power, I have power!

Wang Chou died half a year later, which may have something to do with this incident.

In the third game, the emperor still won, but the two Zhizhigao rejected the grass edict in succession, and the victory was not ordinary.

After this incident, Zhao Shu finally had a correct judgment on his own influence. Su You guessed that this is where Zhao Shu began to think about changing the way of fighting.

A few small games between officials and courtiers have affected many people and a wide range of people.

Su Xiaomei held a few notebooks and lowered her head as she walked back to Cishou Palace from the Secretary's Office.

Cishou Palace, Secretariat Department, Taichang Temple, three o'clock and one line of daily life.

"The paintings and calligraphy collected in the secret province are exposed every year, starting from May 1st to August."

In order to prevent moth and mildew, secretarial provinces in various dynasties had the habit of exposing books.

Since there were so many books in the Song Dynasty that needed to be dried, they had to be dried in batches, which usually lasted three to four months.

Sometimes when the emperor was happy, he would invite ministers and scholars to visit, so the activity of exposing books gradually turned into a semi-open gathering and a book exhibition.

The Royal Book Exhibition is naturally extraordinary. In addition to a large collection of books, there are also precious antiques, calligraphy and painting collections, which are a feast for the eyes.

During this period, tea and fruit products were also prepared to entertain the ministers and bachelors who were reading the books. During dinner time, wine was also held at a banquet for the talented ministers to cook wine and discuss the books.

Su Xiaomei is now a teacher at the Imperial Primary School, and her teaching content is science and engineering, so she has been granted permission to visit the Secret Pavilion Library.

Su Xiaomei thought Big Brother Su Song's method was very good, so she followed suit and took her notebook to copy in the Secret Pavilion.

However, the quill pen is much faster than the writing brush and can copy tens of thousands of words a day.

Most of the materials I copied were mathematics materials from ancient times, and this was also for the purpose of making up teaching materials.
