After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he raised his hand respectfully and said to Wei Liaowen: "Qing family, I am leaving the palace this time because I hope to become a disciple of the Qing family and learn martial arts from the Qing family. It is also to show my sincerity by visiting in person."
Last time, Song Ci suggested to Zhao Yun that he should become a martial artist as his teacher to improve his status.
This suggestion really spoke to Zhao Yun's heart, and Zhao Yun immediately accepted it, and then began to look for a suitable candidate. In the end, Zhao Yun chose Wei Liaoweng.
First of all, it was because Wei Liaoweng was the minister of the Ministry of War. If he was selected, if the courtiers opposed the reform, Zhao Yun could use Wei Liaoweng as a breakthrough to destroy the alliance of the courtiers.
Secondly, Wei Liaoweng was a military general and was very capable. He had single-handedly quelled the Huzhou rebellion in the past. He had prestige in the army and status in the court. By worshiping him as a disciple, he could quickly expand his influence and improve his status as a warrior.
Also faster.
When Wei Liaoweng learned about Zhao Yun's intention, he was even more surprised. In the 100 years of our reign, we had never heard of an emperor worshiping a warrior as his disciple. This honor came so suddenly that Wei Liaoweng was so shocked that he could not recover for a while.
Come.
"This, this,,,, how can this happen? Your Majesty, this is too embarrassing for a humble minister."
After reacting, Wei Liaoweng quickly declined, but Zhao Yun sincerely held Wei Liaoweng's wrist and said: "Qing family, I came with full sincerity, do you think the Qing family wants me to leave with disappointment?
?I sincerely admire and admire the Qing family, so I came to visit you. Please don't refuse."
Seeing Zhao Yun's sincere words, Wei Liaoweng opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't refuse, and could only agree excitedly.
Immediately, Zhao Yun ordered Gou Mengyu, the Minister of Rites, to select an auspicious day and hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony three days later. All civil and military officials participated, which was a grand scene.
And the news that Zhao Yun worshiped Wei Weng as his disciple and learned martial arts spread quickly. Many literati shook their heads and sighed, saying that Zhao Yun trusted martial artists, and big troubles would happen in the future.
The warriors and generals were all very pleased and honored, and when they saw those literati, they subconsciously spoke with force.
Just after the apprenticeship ceremony, Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao and Cheng Ju came to Wei Weng's house.
Yuan Shao was the first to say: "Wei Envoy, the official's new law will push the country to a point of no return. Tomorrow is the great dynasty meeting. During the court debate, please envoy you to serve the public good and never be partial to selfish interests."
Qiao Xingjian and Cheng Jue were also admonishing and hoping that Wei Liaoweng would change his stance without becoming Zhao Yun's teacher.
However, what are you afraid of? Wei Liaoweng said: "Three envoys, I am now the teacher of the official family. A teacher is half a father. Due to emotion and reason, I have no reason to oppose the official family. But the new law
I also know that if one of them is powerful and one of them is bad, the dynasty will be overthrown, so I decided not to help both, and you can handle the future matters by yourselves."
"this."
When Yuan Shao came, he felt that Wei Liaoweng might be attracted by Zhao Yun, but he did not expect that Wei Liaoweng would be so unconcealed, and would just ignore him without even saying a polite word. Such an attitude made it impossible for him to persuade him.
Yuan Shao sighed and said: "That's all, since you are neutral and watching with cold eyes, then we old bones can only be roasted on the fire alone."
Wei Liaoweng expressed his helplessness and was unable to help. In the end, Yuan Shao and the others could only leave in disappointment.
On December 25th of the first year of Hengsheng, there was a court meeting in the Imperial Palace and Chui Gong Hall.
The civil and military officials were divided into two groups and stood in awe. Everyone looked solemn and serious in speech.
Zhao Yun looked down at them quietly, his face as expressionless as a sculpture, and his eyes swept over them one by one.
Both the monarch and his ministers were like this, which inexplicably made the atmosphere in the Chui Gong Hall depressing. Everyone's heart seemed to be pressed down by a big stone, making it suffocating.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes. After taking a few breaths, he opened his eyes and said, "I have received a joint petition from the three ministers requesting the abolition of the new law. However, whether the new law is to be adopted or not is related to the fate of the dynasty and the country. How can it be so easy to decide?
Yes, so today’s court meeting has nothing else but to debate the new law. All officials, regardless of their official position, can speak freely and without guilt."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
All the officials raised their hands and called Zhao Yun Shengming.
After the mountain call, Yuan Shao, Qiao Xingjian, and Cheng Ju looked at each other, and then Yuan Shao stepped forward first and came out of the squad and said loudly: "Plowing land is divided into household laws, and each household is divided into thirty acres of fields. This is natural for the people."
It is said that En Tong will be re-established, but it is necessary to deprive the local gentry and wealthy households of their acres out of thin air. This is unreasonable and has no legal basis. The name of Tao is not correct, and the words are inconsistent. It is a new law that is unreasonable and has no legal basis. How can I do it?
Can it be done?"
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Cheng Ju came out and said: "Yes, Yuan Xianggong's every sentence is reasonable and every word is well-founded. If the new law is so unreasonable and unreasonable, how can people in the world be convinced of it?"
Qiao Xingjian was a good man and rarely objected to Zhao Yun's words, but at this time he also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the new law is good for the poor people, but the gentry and wealthy households are also your Majesty's subjects, so don't you care about their interests?"
Yet?"
"The words of the three ministers are indeed good words and justice, and I agree with you." Fan Chu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out of the class to echo.
"I also second the proposal." Zhu Zhu, the Minister of Punishment, said.
"I second the proposal," said Zhende Xiuye, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"I second the proposal." Chen Guiqian, the official of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"I second the proposal," said Deng Guang, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
"I second the proposal.",,,
Immediately, more than 80 officials bowed down and expressed their agreement with the three prime ministers' views. However, there were only more than a hundred officials in the DPRK and China. This shows how unpopular the new law was with the officials.
Zhao Yun looked at Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, Chen Longzhi and other few people who were still standing alone. Zhao Shanxiang, Gou Mengyu and other more than a dozen officials, as far as Zhao Yun knew, seemed to be neutral, and they had not clearly stated their support for the time being. It can be seen that
The new-school officials who advocated reform were alone.
What Zhao Yun found most difficult to figure out was Han Hong. His attitude made Zhao Yun confused for a while.
Ordinarily, he should support Zhao Yun, because he has clearly stated his attitude and support for Zhao Yun's several previous attempts.
But now he does not speak, does not interact with any court officials, and does not even say a word. If his status cannot be ignored, then even if he secretly does not come to attend the court meeting, no one will probably notice.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but hush in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to feel the situation that Emperor Shenzong was in when Wang Anshi reformed.
Loneliness and helplessness can destroy a person's confidence, but it can also inspire a person's resistance. At this time, this is the case for Chen Guiyi and others.
Chen Guiyi looked indignant and went out to talk to Yuan Shao: "I cannot agree with Mr. Yuan's words."
