My Dachang Dynasty can die standing up, but it will never survive on its knees.
This sentence is very resounding.
Chu Qing believed that Lao Si's words came from the bottom of his heart.
If he doesn't believe it, Yu Tianlun is an example.
Yu Tianlun, who was bloody and bloody, was beaten until he fainted, and he probably didn't even realize what was going on.
On the memorial, it is written exactly that Honglu Temple secretly bribed foreign missions to perform martial arts and deliberately lost.
This is where the king and his ministers are angry.
Dignity is not bought, but earned.
What you buy back is not called dignity, it’s called prayer!
The dignity gained through prayer cannot be preserved.
What makes the monarchs and ministers most angry is that the Dachang Dynasty has not reached this point. It really has not reached this point. Liang Rong is good at bows and horses, and the elites of the Dachang Dynasty are not soft persimmons.
As for the Ying people, they are very tough, but they are also tough against the people of the Three East China Sea Roads, and they are tough against the losers of the Tunbing Guards. They have no chance of winning against the guards who have returned from the battlefield.
Finally, let’s talk about Goguryeo. Dachang Dynasty knows very little about Goguryeo. It has never fought a war, but it should not be weak. It’s just that the envoys are relatively friendly. It may be internal factors or other reasons. Over the years, Goguryeo has been willing to accompany them.
, very low-key.
When I thought that the victories in previous years were all "bought", the emperor and his ministers were so ashamed.
"Everyone deserves to be killed!"
Huang Laosi's chest heaved: "How dare you do such a despicable thing? Where is my face, where is the face of the court, and where is the face of my Dachang!"
Chu Qing was still very pleased.
We are not afraid that the country is weak, but that the people in power are cowards. As long as we are willing to reform, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, the strong men are willing to cut off their wrists, and they are determined and courageous, it is always good.
Huang Laosi suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Qing: "I have arrested all the other Honglu Temple officials!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the detectives from the Thousand Cavalry Battalion have escorted everyone back to the Yamen Prison in the morning."
Nangong Xi's expression moved slightly: "It's so eye-catching, it's inevitable that the news will leak out."
"If it leaks, let it leak."
Huang Laosi revealed his true colors as soon as he opened his mouth: "Tell the outside world that the diplomatic missions of various countries secretly colluded with Honglu Temple. They were defeated year after year and refused to give up. They secretly sent money to Honglu Temple officials and bribed Honglu Temple officials with the intention of buying them to participate in martial arts performances.
The soldiers deliberately gave way to them during martial arts exercises."
Chu Qing's mouth widened again.
This is no longer a slap in the face, but... shameless!
He knew that the fourth child was quite shameless, but he never expected that the fourth child would reach this level.
After taking a deep look at Lao Si, Chu Qing felt that this emperor... was capable of handling him.
Shamelessness is one thing, but the main thing is that it is impeccable.
An official of Honglu Temple was arrested, and the family who knew the inside story would definitely not expose their shortcomings.
And the common people who know this sooner or later will definitely need an explanation.
This explanation is difficult to give.
But if we go by what Huang Laosi said, it cannot be said that it is seamless, at least it is seamless.
The diplomatic missions from various countries bribed the officials of Honglu Temple. It is established. Why is it not established? Because they lose every year. Everyone has to be ashamed. How much do they have to eat... What kind of person can lose every year without feeling blushing?
Since the missions of various countries want to lose face, there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Honglu Temple took the money but failed to accomplish anything. When the incident came to light, the Emperor Long Yan was furious. From the beginning to the end, he not only did not cause public anger, but also made the people's backs straighter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Chu Qing bowed and saluted, feeling sincerely convinced.
"Sage?"
The fourth child sat back on the dragon chair: "If it were a saint, how could there be such a dog in a high position in the court?"
Chu Qing was embarrassed to say anything.
Your father took over someone else's boat, who's to blame?
"The court hall and above the court hall are all filled with wine bags and rice bags. If you hold such wine bags and rice bags, you will lose my great power. There will be one temple and one government office. There are sixty officials, all of whom are servants. The sixty servants are here to replace me."
When neighboring countries look at Chao Yan, they will think that our Dachang Dynasty is just like these sixty servants."
Huang Laosi's anger gradually dissipated, replaced by sadness and disappointment.
Several old ministers sighed.
There are more than 60 officials in a Honglu Temple. More than 60 officials represent the imperial court and officials who contact the missions of neighboring countries on behalf of the courtiers. What they look like is what the Chang Dynasty looks like in neighboring countries.
"Since ancient times, the kings who have been appointed to the Zhongxing Dynasty have never been able to rule the world with virtuous men and gentlemen. With an order to seek talents, the world's talents gather together. Looking at my court, the people recommended are all from aristocratic families and are all members of the clan.
, full of wine and rice bags.”
Huang Laosi sighed deeply, as helpless as the unlucky son who had just inherited his father's huge foreign debt.
Several veterans could also see Huang Laosi's helplessness, even Chu Qing.
Talent, talent, talent.
Talents who assist the emperor in governing the world.
Talents who help the emperor conquer all directions.
There is always new blood joining the imperial court, and ministers come and go, but these fresh blood, seemingly fresh, come from only one place, aristocratic families.
The aristocratic family sent the son of the aristocratic family to the court through recommendation.
The aristocratic family passed the imperial examination and sent the son of the aristocratic family to the court.
Aristocratic family, aristocratic family, aristocratic family. If there was no aristocratic family, Yu Tianlun would not dare to do this even if he had the courage to do so.
Zhai Xiu suddenly glanced at Chu Qing, and then said to Huang Laosi: "Your Majesty, it's time."
"Yes." Zhai Xiu said in a deep voice: "Yuan Day is coming. After Yuan Day, it will be the scientific examination..."
Having said this, Zhai Xiu once again took a deep look at Chu Qing: "There are many problems with the scientific examination. Originally, the Ministry of Etiquette was responsible for this matter, but now there happens to be a vacancy for the left and right ministers, and the aristocratic family has no way to enter. Why not let Qianqiying be responsible for this matter?"
How are things going? In addition, we vigorously open up academies for poor families, conduct scientific examinations, and run academies. Although it is a long-term effort, it is also a long-term achievement."
Huang Laosi did not say a word, but looked at Chu Qing who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"What do the Chu Qing family think?"
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely: "Fourth... No, Your Majesty, opening an academy costs money. It costs a lot of money. It cannot be done overnight. Moreover, we cannot rely on the Thousand Cavalry Camp alone. There is also great resistance..."
General Huang Si, who was wearing a dragon robe, obviously had little patience. He waved his hand and interrupted: "I just ask you whether it can be done or not."
Chu Qing: "It can be done."
"how long."
"Three years, but..."
"How much is needed."
"It's a huge amount of millions, but..."
"Is there any way to make money?"
"Yes, it's just..."
"Okay." Huang Laosi nodded: "Then it's settled, you will take care of it. In three years, poor academies will be spread all over Zhongzhou."
"Ah?" Chu Qing was stunned.
It's just decided, three years, millions, yes, time and money, I've told you about it, but what about the risks and resistance, you can ask me at least, and listen to me explain it to you in detail.
.
Before Chu Qing could continue to speak, Huang Laosi looked at several veterans: "After today, the Chu Qing family will definitely become the target of public criticism. Do you know what to do?"
