The fire in July is when the weather is getting colder, but Kaifeng City is still surrounded by a ball of heat.

The noon sunlight shines in from the open window, making the originally cool study a little hot again.

Mrs. Han brought a cup of cold soup from outside into the house.

She was wearing a moon-white double-breasted skirt, with a red bra inside, which was very cool. The exposed skin was very white and as delicate as the cream, which was what Wu Haowen liked the most. However, her figure and appearance were only average, and she could not compare to the women around Wu Haogu, and she was not as beautiful as Wu Haowen's concubine Su Yinger.

When Wu Haowen thought of Su Ying'er, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The woman who brought him so much happiness when she was in Lantian has been given away... Only by sending Su Ying'er can you invite Miss Han back!

This lady from the Han family in Xiangzhou is much more fierce than Pan Qiaolian beside Wu Haogu.

But it is no wonder that Mrs. Han is a direct descendant from the Han family in Xiangzhou and belongs to the daughter of the first-class scholar-official family.

After all, Pan Qiaolian is a general, a commoner, and she has no prime minister's father...

I was comparing my wife and sister-in-law in my heart, but a flattering smile appeared on my face: "Madam, thank you so much for your hard work."

Mrs. Han came over, put down the cold soup prepared for Feng Erniang for her son, and looked at her lazy husband: "Official, why did you ask for leave again today?"

Wu Haowen smiled bitterly, not saying anything.

He took over the position of Chongzheng Palace storytelling in early July, which is enviable by everyone. But what surprised Mrs. Han was that after taking office as storytelling, Wu Haowen fished for three days and laid the net for two days, so he didn't go to the official to tell the storytelling.

"This is what my father-in-law meant," Wu Haowen smiled bitterly, "It's better to ask for leave if you can't say anything about books... Less say less and make mistakes!"

"Why is it hard to say?" Han Niangzi blinked and sat down opposite Wu Haowen. Although she was a female, she was also a student since she was a child and had a good understanding of Confucianism.

"Officials are Jinshis, and teachers and brothers are both great scholars. How could they not speak the books of Chongzheng Palace?"

"It's not my great Confucian brother..." Wu Haowen shook his head, "When his "Personal Theory" was released, it really shocked Shilin, and everyone was excited. But as soon as the excitement passed, the problem arose."

"Problem?" Han Niangzi also read Wu Haogu's "Personal Theory" and Wu Haogu's revised "Theory of Heavenly Rules", but did not see any problem.

"A credible hypothesis, and the other proved by faith will be distracted." Wu Haowen shook his head, "I can't argue with Su Zhongyu. After all, he is a senior expert, and he is knowledgeable and has a practical knowledge. And the credible hypothesis and proved by faith will be proposed by my elder brother... What can you say? It's really embarrassing!"

It turns out that as the "Theory of Heavenly Rules" and "Theory of Empirical Empirical Epistemology" began to spread these days, the voices of opposition began to arise. Some oppose the "Theory of Heavenly Rules" and some oppose the "Theory of Empirical Epistemology", and more of them oppose it together.

Although "Theory of Heaven and the Theory of Empirical Perspectives" can fulfill the great way of Confucianism, these two theories, especially the "Theory of Empirical Perspectives", lack the strong support of Confucian classics.

Moreover, "Theory of Empirical" also empirical. As for practice, it also proposes the theory of "seeking the great way from the small way", which means that it greatly enhances the status of "skills" in the Confucian system.

The words Su Dongpo said in the Imperial College's Discussion on "practical learning" were contrary to the "minor skills idea" commonly possessed by the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after July, there were more memorials refuting the "Personal Theory". Many scholars and officials also published articles in the newspapers published in Kaifeng Prefecture and Haizhou, criticizing the "Personal Theory" for violating the principles of the saints, and citing the "Book of Rites. King System" as the basis for "everyone who has skills and good deeds in the affairs of the affairs will not change his official duties, and will not move his official positions, and will not leave his hometown without giving his scholars' teeth."

In addition, the reform of the Imperial College and the reform of the Jinshi Left List led by Su Dongpo also caused a lot of controversy. Not only did the new party and new school faction disapprove, but even the old party figures did not support the reform. They all believed that this was Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu's master and apprentice "causing trouble" and following the old path of Wang Anshi.

Even the younger brothers of these two great scholars, Wu Haowen and Su Che, had the same view!

...

"Zizhan, you are causing trouble!"

In the study of Su Dongpo's right-level prime minister's residence, Su Dongpo was sitting with his younger brother Su Che and his nephew Su Shi discussing the ongoing "Su New Policy".

Su Che was summoned to return after Su Dongpo Xuanma, and was waiting to enter the opposite man. It is estimated that he will be sent soon. There is no chance for the Political Affairs Hall, but there is no problem in being an exile as a pacifier or a transshipment envoy.

Su Shi came to Beijing for the purpose of visiting Goryeo. It is July now, and it is only four or five months before the New Year. As usual, the Song Dynasty wanted to send congratulatory envoys to Goryeo.

In addition, the Goryeo Kingdom will use troops to the Holaidian Jurchens next spring, and the Song Dynasty will send military commanders to Guanjun, so this time we will form a mission that will greatly defeat the previous ones.

The candidates for the Chief Envoy were already there. The Chief Envoy was Liu Kui, the son-in-law of Lu Jiawen. He went to Goryeo to get a seat for Su Dongpo's people. Su Dongpo had to preside over the reform of the Imperial College, so naturally he had to have disciples to serve as priests or officials. As for the Deputy Envoy, of course, he was Tong Guan. At the same time, he was also an envoy of military appearance and had to stay in Goryeo for a period of time.

Su Shi was a gift from the delegation and sent Japanese envoys. This was arranged by Wu Haogu. The sending Japanese envoys was a conspiracy, with the purpose of going to the Danluo Kingdom along the way... Of course, this is a secret, and even Su Che could not tell it, otherwise it would be a big trouble!

"Why is it a cause of trouble?" Su Dongpo shook his head, "This is retro! Isn't the source of the Imperial College the Emperor of Zhou Biyong? Isn't the learning taught by Biyong is the six arts of gentlemen? Etiquette, music, shooting, calligraphy, numbers, and reform of Imperial College? Moreover, wearing swords and riding horses are all ancient rituals. The nobles, officials and scholars from the Western Zhou Dynasty also have the same rituals as civil and military affairs."

The reform of the Imperial College is nominally the "Restoration of Zhou Li", which is to carry out reforms through retrospectiveness. However, no matter how retrospective it is, it cannot conceal the essence of reform.

"Zizhan," Su Che shook his head and said, "To be retro, "Theory of Heaven and the Theory of Empirical Studies" should not be added to the courses of the Imperial College. Moreover, this dynasty emphasizes literature and over military affairs, and has been embraced by people's hearts and cannot be changed easily.

You are now going to be a military and military officer in the Imperial College, and the right-hand military officer has become the right-hand military officer, which is equivalent to the left-hand military officer evolution. What would scholars in the world think? They would think that the reform of the Imperial College and the left-hand military officer is just the beginning, and the Jinshi examination may become a military officer in the future!"

"Scholars should respect ancient etiquette and civil and military." Su Dongpo said seriously, "This dynasty is abolishing martial arts, so that the country has no generals to use, and the imperial guards are gradually disintegrating. Now the reform of the government military system is about to succeed. Who will command hundreds of thousands of government soldiers in the future? The best way is to respect ancient etiquette and select generals from Piyong?

Nowadays, the recruitment of soldiers is the Long March. If you have been a few decades, you can naturally promote the officers who lead the army. The current government soldiers have five years of military service. How many levels can they be promoted in five years? Moreover, the government soldiers of this dynasty are not led by wise men. Where do you think the future leaders will come from?”

When Su Dongpo said this, Su Che was speechless for a moment. He would not lead troops, nor would he know what non-commissioned officer system or volunteer soldiers. Judging from the current trial system of the government soldiers system, it is indeed necessary to provide officers with "martial arts".

"Just take the martial arts, just the martial arts," Su Che finally sighed, "What's the point of doing? You still need to reform the Imperial College, aren't you afraid of becoming a public enemy of Shilin?"

"How could it become a public enemy of Shilin?" Su Dongpo laughed, "Ziyou, you are too worried."

"I hope!" Su Che shook his head. He knew that his brother was in a state of excitement and suppressed for so many years. He finally turned over. How could he not make trouble?

Moreover, the current officials are also having trouble. Although they are still using the Jianzhong Jingguo era name, they are already thinking about enriching the country and strengthening the army.

But today's governments have different ways to enrich the country and strengthen the army today than the late emperors...

Seeing that his younger brother stopped talking, Su Dongpo thought he had convinced himself, so he said, "Ziyou, the most important thing in the court now is to promote the system of military service. The next step is to fully promote it in Jingzhao Prefecture, and find a place outside Shaanxi to try it out. I want to try it out at Henan Prefecture (Luoyang) on ​​Jingxi North Road, Daming Prefecture on Hebei East Road, Xiangzhou on Hebei West Road, and Taiyuan Prefecture on Hedong Road. You might as well choose one of the prefectures to preside over it."

"I'll go to Luoyang!" Su Zhe said, "Loyang has many ministers, I still have some face there. Thousands of soldiers from the palace can always be recruited, but this face can only be held for a few years."

Luoyang is Henan Prefecture, now the Xijing of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the first choice for retired officials to live in seclusion. Because retired officials like to buy land and build gardens in Luoyang for a long time, the self-cultivated farmers in Henan Prefecture are basically extinct, and the farmers are all tenants of wealthy families. Whether they can recruit soldiers from Henan Prefecture depends on whether these giant families can cooperate.

Su Dongpo smiled and said, "There is already a solution... Five hundred soldiers from the Imperial College and Yuntai Academy quota. If those ten places come out, five thousand soldiers from the government will be there."

"Wu Hao Gu's method is the best way?" Su Che asked frowned.

"yes."

This bad idea sounds like Wu Haogu!

The Imperial College must recruit at least 200 people a year. If one person can get five hundred soldiers in the palace, there will be one hundred thousand soldiers. According to the five-year service period of the government soldiers, it will be a large army of 500,000. Whether it can be fought is another matter, and people can always get all of them.

Su Che shook his head repeatedly.

"What?" Su Dongpo looked at his brother.
Chapter completed!
