From Tan Weiyi's words, Song Mu finally understood the entire process of this Chang'an situation.
Prime Minister Feng was originally a veteran of the two dynasties, and the late emperor even left Li Ao alone with Feng Qi and other senior ministers.
Prime Minister Feng also attached great importance to Li Ao. When he tried his best to cultivate him, he helped clear many obstacles. After Li Ao ascended the throne, he stabilized the situation in all directions and made countless suggestions, which benefited the people in every way.
This is obvious to all people and is beyond reproach.
Tan Zhongye, on the other hand, was a new minister. He had followed Li Ao to fight in all directions since he became an official. He was also shrewd and capable, and he also proposed the "Zongguo Law" that made the four armies strong. Since he became the Right Prime Minister, he had also made the Wen Dynasty's military more prosperous and intimidated all directions.
But the conflict between the two lies precisely in the "Zongguo Law". Two years ago, Yushitai asked for an order to abolish the "Zongguo Law" and restore the purity of the Wen Dynasty's border troops. He was punished by Li Ao, but Prime Minister Feng came out and argued hard.
.
He said that although the "Zongguo Law" made the border army strong, it made the situation of the Wen Dynasty even worse. Prime Minister Feng listed the border residents, the losses of the border land for decades, the loss of a huge amount of silver from the national treasury, and the support from the four provincial roads.
Stunning.
Prime Minister Tan also refused to show weakness and often argued in the court, and His Majesty did not make a decision, which made the two factions distinct and often blamed each other.
A few months ago, a nephew of Prime Minister Feng who was a Jinshi, who was originally practicing in the Wang Wei Poetry Sect, was called up by the "Zongguo Law" and died in battle. The disciples of the Wang Shi Sect also suffered heavy casualties. I would like to use this to plead with His Majesty to slow down the batch of disciples of the Poetry Sect.
He was dispatched, but was rejected by Tan Xiang.
This became a trigger and started a fire in the court. His Majesty dismissed more than ten people from their posts in a few days and even vomited blood in the hall, but he still could not suppress it.
This matter came out slowly from Tan Wei's mouth. Everyone had different expressions, but most of them had solemn expressions. Tan Wei looked at Song Mu and sighed.
"Prime Minister Feng and my father were originally His Majesty's loyal ministers, but now the conflict is irreconcilable. Among the officials in Chang'an, there are very few who can take care of themselves."
"Brother Song is so talented that there is no problem in serving in the six departments. But if you do this immediately, it will become the trend. It is the time when the fire is strong. Brother Song will definitely become the target of public criticism."
"Brother Song, what happened before...sigh..."
As soon as Tan Wei said this, his brows also furrowed. At this moment, everyone also looked at Song Mu.
Song Mu also showed a wry smile, knowing that what Tan Weiyi said was about the Chang'an fire, he exhaled slightly at this moment and said in a deep voice.
"Song really doesn't know the inside story, but Song Mu has experienced that kind of confrontation, so he understands what's going on."
Saying this, Song Mu also raised his glass to everyone and said with a smile.
"Everyone, there is no need to worry about Mr. Song. Mr. Song does not want to be an official in the Six Ministries yet."
After saying these words, everyone's expressions changed slightly, but they also raised their glasses. Tan Weiyi looked at Song Mu, seeming to be two parts relaxed, but also two parts puzzled.
The atmosphere relaxed a bit, and everyone naturally changed the topic and talked about him.
On the second day, Song Mu also went to the East Palace to give lectures to the East Palace for the first time. The content of his lectures was just his insights into poetry.
Tao Fengming had already talked about this kind of thing with Professor Song Mu countless times. Song Mu also imitated the cat and the tiger, activated his literary and mental power, and created pieces of poetry and poetry out of thin air, which made everyone exclaim that it was magical, and they also had many insights.
Among them, Li Dong also performed many things, but Song Mu found that His Highness seemed to have the ability to enter the country, but was not familiar with the method of expressing the country. He only studied it for one day, and his poems were still mediocre, even too straight.
Thinking that it might be Li Dong's shortcomings, Song Mu also had concerns in his mind and felt that he needed to figure it out slowly.
After a class, Song Mu chatted with Li Dong for a few words and then went to the Nuan Pavilion. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two people sitting inside.
One is Taifu Qin, and the other is Yan Fu.
Song Mu had not seen Yan Fu for a long time, so he immediately handed over his hand. Yan Fu and Qin Taifu seemed to be exchanging something at the moment. When Song Mu came in, Yan Fu immediately stood up and came forward in surprise.
"The number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, I haven't seen him for many years, he is in the first rank of Hanlin Academy, how wonderful it is!"
Song Mu also held his hands and spoke.
"Old Yan is ridiculous, Mr. Song just made a breakthrough by chance. In the future, there will be many confusions in his realm, but he will have to seek advice from Mr. Yan and Taifu Qin."
Yan Fu stroked his beard and laughed twice, then nodded in response.
"It doesn't matter, you came just in time. I'm discussing things with the Taifu, and I have something to do with you."
Yan Fu said this, and Master Qin also nodded with a smile, and immediately ordered Song Mu to come in and sit aside.
Song Mu looked cautious and sat down next to him. Yan Fu also sat down and discussed with Song Mu for a few words. Then he looked at Taifu Qin and said seriously.
"Master, what should I say?"
Grand Tutor Qin immediately stood up, glanced at Song Mu, then waved out a literary barrier, then sat down again and looked at Song Mu.
Song Mu also looked puzzled, and the other party immediately spoke.
"Song Lecturer, do you still remember the feeling that touched Wenxing during the imperial examination?"
Song Mu had just been a little confused when he saw the other party's cautious movements. Now when he heard it, he quickly stood up and said with his hands in his hands.
"Xiaoguan naturally remembers it, but the feeling of touching literary stars is different in different imperial examinations."
Master Qin nodded and looked at Yan Fu, but Yan Fu just looked at Song Mu with a smile and said.
"There is no need to be overly nervous if you are the champion of the Song Dynasty. The matter we are going to discuss today is related to His Highness's achievement."
After hearing this, Song Mu immediately raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and Yan Fu continued.
"His Highness is now at the pinnacle of the scholarly realm, but he has tried many times in the past three years to induce the Wenxing Realm to no avail. The Grand Tutor invited me here just to think about His Highness's exams in the future."
"His Royal Highness is very talented, but he may have taken too many exams and failed in the imperial examination and the Eastern Palace Examination. We discussed many methods, but we came up with the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty."
Tai Fu Qin said.
"Perhaps His Highness did not know how to arouse Wen Xing's feelings. I thought about it with Master Yan and felt that Song's lectures might be able to clear up His Highness's doubts."
When Song Mu heard this, he finally understood the two people's intentions.
I think Taifu Qin has made it clear to His Highness about the secret of the imperial examination, but he struggled in the imperial examination room, especially Wen Xing, who was shaken, strange phenomena occurred everywhere, and even Wen Xing recognized his master, but it was like no one in a million, and it was incomparable.
.
How to hook up with Wen Xing, and even how that obscure power comes from, I am the most clear and familiar with it, and my perception must be unique.
Knowing this, Song Mu also handed over his hands and said in a deep voice.
"It's understandable that you should serve as a lower official to help His Highness reach the realm, but you don't know how to do it?"
Grand Tutor Qin and Yan Fu looked at each other, and Grand Tutor Qin immediately spoke.
"We have prepared the test questions and will set up the test in the East Palace soon. You and His Highness will take the test together and guide you slowly."
Master Qin said this and added another sentence.
"Song Lecturer will explain it to His Highness in the past few days. It may be of great benefit."
Song Mu naturally nodded and set up an examination in the East Palace. This method was similar to the imperial examination.
The only difference is that there are few literary stars, so all people who want Confucianism and Daoism must take the imperial examinations slowly, but as the prince of the East Palace, he can start the examination at any time, just to stimulate the power of the stars.
In this case, there are no longer the constraints of the imperial examination. Moreover, when the disciples of various poetry sects seek breakthroughs, they also connect with Wenxing after reaching a certain enlightenment, and then successfully break through.
Song Mu was quite concerned about this matter. After all, His Highness's early breakthrough would be beneficial in everything.
But at this time, Grand Tutor Qin said something to Song Mu again.
"Song is giving lectures, but you must keep this matter secret and must not reveal anything about it."
