Lu Gao directly talked about facts and figures, which made Mr. Li, who was grasping Wang Lin's output, dumbfounded.
yes.
You said that everyone's life is hard.
But this is not the case.
The fact is, everyone's life is very good.
Better than any time in the past in Wu Dynasty.
Living supplies are sufficient, and I have more spare money than before.
The entire Wu Dynasty's economy and society were full of unlimited vitality and potential.
Such days are miserable.
Then why did you make the emperors before Wu Dynasty so embarrassed?
"People's lives are indeed better than before, but now we have an opportunity to make them better, why not?" An old editor of the Hanlin Academy stood up and asked Lu Gao.
Lu Gao looked at the old editor and sneered: "Then I have a question for Mr. Ouyang.
Tell me about the reason why people now have surplus food in their hands and money in their homes. Who has the greatest contribution?"
The old editor seemed to have expected that Lu Gao would ask such a question, so he didn't panic at all: "The one who deserves the most credit is naturally the champion."
Before Lu Gao could continue to ask the question, the old editor changed the subject and said: "But even if all this is given by the Champion, it does not mean that the Champion can trample and destroy what the people have at will.
everything.
It is true that the champion has made great contributions, but this is also the result of the people's personal labor.
Even if you are a champion, you cannot take it away at will."
The old editor paused for a moment, then spoke again, directly blocking the moral attack Lu Gao was about to launch: "Besides, I think that with the noble character of the champion, he would not be willing to see such a thing happen. Even more unwilling,
To sacrifice what ordinary people already have."
Those in the Hanlin Academy are just different. They have said both pros and cons.
Lu Gao didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Wang Lin saw this and spoke directly: "You are the ones who stand up now and agree.
Don't tell me that you don't know what will happen if the champion is transferred to the Western Regions.
What does that mean to our Wu Dynasty and the human race?
When the time comes, the champion will use what he has learned and turn around to deal with us.
What do you think?
After our Wu Dynasty becomes the largest Buddhist kingdom in the Western Region, how do you think you should deal with yourself?
Do you think that when you die of old age, your descendants will no longer need to be Buddha slaves?"
Since you are telling me the truth, I will simply clarify the matter directly.
Let’s just use the famous brand and see how you refute me.
The old editor of the Hanlin Academy said calmly: "Xiang Wang, if you say this, you are too underestimating the champion.
The reason why we think the folk summation conditions are reasonable is because we think it is beneficial.
It's because we feel that the champion can definitely fight against the transformation of the Western Regions.
At that time, our Wu Dynasty will not suffer any losses in this process.
On the contrary, the Western Regions will directly become a subsidiary of our Wu Dynasty, just like Confucianism and Taoism."
After finishing speaking, the old editor still asked a rhetorical question out of habit: "We all have such confidence in Mr. Champion, is it possible that, Mr. Wang, your confidence in Mr. Champion is so weak?"
When Wang Lin faced this old editor, who had read books about saints and sages all his life, he really wanted to rush up and give him a slap in the face.
This was the first time that Wang Lin hated scholars so much.
For the first time, I felt that it was more enjoyable for Wufu to come.
These scholars are really annoying.
After a moment of silence, Wang Lin simply regarded himself as a martial artist.
Anyway, many people now think that they are in charge of the Ministry of War and are also the Minister of War.
I am someone who wears the same pants as a martial artist.
Many people have classified themselves into the same category as martial artists.
If this is the case, then Wang Lin should consider himself a martial artist.
Wang Lin directly raised his voice much higher, and at the same time, his tone was a bit more brute force: "Don't follow me around here, I'm going to ask you now.
If what I mentioned happened, what would you tell me to do?
Or can you afford this responsibility?
When the time comes, can the people of the Wu Dynasty bulldoze your grave?
Pull you out and whip your corpse directly, pull your corpse out directly and expose it to the sun. Let you never go beyond that."
Wang Lin's sudden passion made the old editor unable to react for a moment.
After all, although they privately put Wang Lin and Wu Fu in the same category, they all know that Wang Lin is still a scholar at heart.
Behaviors and habits are still the way scholars do things and behave.
Now, Wang Lin suddenly changed his temperament, and they really didn't react.
Especially what Wang Lin said was vulgar.
As a scholar, how can I say such vulgar words?
However, Wang Lin's words made the generals present feel particularly cordial.
These generals immediately felt particularly close to Wang Lin.
Although Wang Lin was the Minister of War before, these warriors could not get close to Wang Lin.
At that time, Wang Lin was too upright. At first glance, he looked like someone who couldn't urinate in the same pot as them.
But it's different now. At first glance, Wang Lin is their brother and their buddy.
Since we are brothers, we must help.
"How can we relieve our hatred by dragging him out and exposing his body in the wilderness?
Dozens of wild dogs must be captured and all the bones must be eaten by the wild dogs.
After I was given the light, I still had to watch those wild dogs poop.
After those wild dogs poop, put the shit back into his coffin.
Then bury it back for him again.
Let his children and grandchildren pay homage to the shit in this coffin."
A tall military general stood up and directly supported Wang Lin.
This idea was instantly approved by all the generals.
The old editor opposite almost choked up when he heard these words.
If you really treat yourself like this, it will cause you more pain than being infamy for thousands of years.
Wang Lin also made a last-ditch attack at this time: "Don't forget, we have a historian now.
Everything you say and do now will be recorded by historians.
When the time comes, I will ask historians to engrave everything you said today into history books.
Let the people behind you see whether your name should go down in history or whether you should be infamy for eternity."
This move is cruel enough.
It was a direct blow to the bottom of the pot.
After hearing Wang Lin's words, the old editor subconsciously stepped back.
If everything today is really engraved in the history books.
Then you will be in infamy for eternity.
How could he not know the dangers of such a thing?
It's just that the master behind him needs him to be so persistent.
"Why are you retreating? Didn't you just say it right? Why are you retreating now? Are you afraid that you will turn into shit, or are you afraid that you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Wang Lin was facing the old editor who was retreating, and he was furious.
The generals also started shouting: "What do you think you are afraid of?"
"Do you want to be turned into shit, or do you want to be infamy forever?"
"I still want to turn into shit and remain infamy for eternity."
The old editor was shaken by what the generals said.
If the colleagues nearby had not supported the old editor, I am afraid that the old editor would have fallen headfirst onto the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is the Jinluan Palace. How can these people talk about such vulgar things? Your Majesty, my old minister, please make the decision!" The old editor cried and asked Wu Zhao for help.
Wu Zhao listened to the old editor's words and waited for the general over there to deal with the damage for a while before signaling to Sun Banban.
Sun Banban whipped it down, and the Jinluan Palace suddenly fell silent.
"I asked you all to discuss issues, not to quarrel here."
"Everyone who has just participated in the quarrel, all pull out the court stick for thirty!"
Wu Zhao gave an order, and Qianniuwei came directly in and started pulling people in.
To be honest, Qianniuwei hasn't sent anyone out to play for a long time.
Now I finally got another chance.
"Wang Xiang, as the prime minister of a country, if I drag you out and slap you, it will be my face. Wang Xiang, you will be punished for three years. Do you have any objections?" Wu Zhao said to Wang Lin in a serious tone.
Wang Lin directly handed over his hand: "My lord, accept the punishment!"
This time, except Wang Lin, those who just participated in the discussion.
Except for Lu Gao, everyone was pulled out.
Of course it doesn't matter to the generals, they are rough-skinned and fleshy to begin with.
Thirty boards are just like playing to them.
But those civil servants really have to bear the pain of flesh and blood.
Then when the civil servants were pulled out, they looked at each other.
Only then did I realize that these were the people who had just stood up to support peace.
But they had nothing to say.
Wu Zhao just made it very clear that if we discuss this matter, no one will be punished for their words.
But Wu Zhao wanted to punish them because they were quarreling down there.
Screaming openly in court and getting slapped with thirty sticks is indeed a very light punishment.
At the same time, Wu Zhao also sent a very clear signal to everyone.
That means I, the emperor, do not support the so-called peace.
At this time, Lin Dunxin still needs to come out to smooth things over.
As a mature prime minister, Lin Dunxin not only had to consider his own status in the hearts of civil servants.
At the same time, it also acts as a lubricant.
It needs to be reconciled between Wu Zhao and the ministers.
We can't let everyone be so antagonistic.
"Your Majesty, I believe that since this is the will of the people, we should listen to more people's wishes.
I believe that the people of our Wu Dynasty are all wise people."
Lin Dunxin dared to say this because Lin Dunxin knew Wu Zhao's previous arrangements.
Wu Zhao pretended to be silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, since many ministers think this is what the people want.
Then let’s see where the people’s hearts are headed.
It is up to you, Prime Minister Lin, to take care of the matter of Prime Minister Lin's investigation of people's hearts.
I will give you half a month, and after half a month, I will see the results."
After a pause, Wu Zhao added: "This time, all the officials involved in this matter will not be punished in any way as long as they enforce the law, no matter what the outcome."
Wu Zhao added this sentence to give reassurance to those who objected.
At the same time, it was also to block the mouth of Youyou.
Lin Dunxin bowed again and requested: "Your Majesty, I also hope that this time, all the people under investigation can have their names hidden, and at the same time, all the results before the investigation must be disrupted before the results can be opened."
Lin Dunxin is just patching up Wu Zhao again.
Wu Zhao put a patch on the court, and Lin Dunxin put a patch on Wu Zhao among the people.
Wu Zhao listened to Lin Dunxin's suggestion and nodded directly: "Accurately."
"My Holy Emperor!"
Lin Dunxin said loudly.
Then all the civil and military officials in the audience shouted loudly together.
In this way, the Wu Dynasty's first public opinion survey was officially launched.
Even Ning Chen didn't expect this.
After all, what can I say?
The Wu Dynasty belonged to a feudal dynasty.
In the feudal dynasty, is public opinion important?
It's neither important nor important.
When I rebel, this may be more important.
If I were the emperor now, then this public opinion would not be so important.
Even I, the emperor, have no need to care about your public opinion.
But now for Ning Chen, Wu Zhao and the others have launched the largest public opinion poll in the history of the Wu Dynasty.
Such an investigation will also be launched in Hezhou.
The person in charge of the Hezhou investigation was Cao Xing.
Although Cao Xing is the chief administrator of Hezhou, he also has a relatively harmonious relationship with Ning Chen.
However, because of Cao Xing's past reputation and the fact that Cao Xing followed the Legalist approach.
So on the issue of fairness, everyone is still willing to believe Cao Xing.
After Cao Xing received the news, he immediately went to find Ning Chen.
"Poll, are you planning to make the leap from feudal society to capitalist society?" Ning Chen said to himself with a smile.
Cao Xing couldn't understand what Ning Chen was saying at all.
But Ning Chen's relaxed attitude made Cao Xing very nervous and worried: "Mr. Champion, this matter is no small matter. Mr. Champion, it would be better for you to come up with a charter earlier."
Ning Chen patted Cao Xing on the shoulder and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."
Cao Xing had no choice but to follow Ning Chen and take a sip of tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Cao Xing put down the cup without caring about the taste of the tea.
"The champion has finished his tea, let's get down to business."
Seeing that Cao Xing was so worried about him, Ning Chen couldn't tell the truth to Cao Xing.
After all, such truth might make Cao Xing very disappointed and sad when he heard it.
After a moment of silence, Ning Chen finally said: "Master Cao, this is how I view the matter.
I think there is absolutely no need for us to pay attention to this matter.
I still say the same thing, I believe in the people of our Wu Dynasty.
I believe more in the people of Hezhou and I believe they can make the right choice.
I believe that I am still in line with what the people want."
Cao Xing asked anxiously: "What if they didn't make the right choice? Or were they deceived?"
