Looking at the black words on the white paper, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Wang Junmin will be the number one scholar..."
Hu Yandui and Li Xian were both too frightened to answer.
Zhao Zhen looked at the caisson on the top of the palace and suppressed his anger: "You have heard what I said to him, right? I warned him repeatedly, but all of them fell on deaf ears!"
Naturally, the two of them did not dare to respond.
"Alas, Shuzi..." Zhao Zhen sighed, and the hall fell into a long silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke and his party returned from Shaanxi Road and arrived at Luoyang City, Xijing of the Song Dynasty.
Along the way, the anger of the martial arts students continued to rise. When they left, they were worried about their future and traveled day and night without contacting state and county officials along the way. When they returned, they were full of pride in successfully repelling the enemy alone, thinking that they would
Winning fame along the way and returning home with great scenery.
However, as full as the ideal is, the reality is as skinny as it is. Along the way, there were no common people to greet them, and no officials held banquets to entertain them. They were actually treated coldly... Except for Chen Ke, all the local officials along the state and county were of the same year.
Besides, the best thing is to send someone to give you some rewards, but no one is willing to show up and say "thank you for your hard work".
According to Mo Wen, it was "like he was hiding from the god of plague".
Chen Ke naturally knew that welcomes and farewells in the officialdom, and the warmth and warmth of human relations, are just barometers of gains and losses. The news that the officials appointed Zhao Zongshi as the president of Jinke Palace Examination has been interpreted by the officials as a prelude to the establishment of the crown prince. So everyone
I will avoid him, a guy who is destined to be unlucky.
‘The overall situation has been decided?’ The corner of Chen Ke’s mouth was not a bitter smile, but a deep sneer.
Of course, in the eyes of the students, this is definitely the teacher’s anger and disdain!
Therefore, when they saw Luoyang City from a distance, the students suggested that we pass directly through the city and not bother the officials in Xijing.
"Luoyang, Xijing, has been the capital of emperors since ancient times." However, Chen Ke still had a leisurely mind and taught his disciples: "The springs are sweet and the soil is fertile. The wind is gentle and the air is comfortable, and the Qingming Festival is magnificent. At that time, Taizu had intended to move the capital here. However, he was dissuaded by Taizong. But.
In the past hundred years, there has been an endless debate about which one is better, Luoyang or Kaifeng. You think, which one is more suitable for the capital, Tokyo or Xijing?"
The students were already accustomed to his teaching method, not to mention that the question itself was very mouth-watering. So they all spoke up and expressed their opinions.
"The teacher said in the strategy class that there are three conditions for establishing a capital city: maintaining control over the country, convenient supply of materials, and convenient military defense."
"Judging from the first condition, Tokyo is located in the heart of the Song Dynasty. Transportation is well connected in all directions, which is obviously more conducive to control in all directions."
"The second point is that Tokyo has an advantage. The convenience of water transportation and land transportation is unmatched by Luoyang. Luoyang has indeed been glorious in history. But since the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang has been constantly suffering from wars and has gradually declined. Since then, Luoyang has been suffering from wars and disasters.
, the court's materials, officials' salaries, and the country's grain all had to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River via waterways. The transportation conditions in Luoyang were far less convenient than Kaifeng. Even if the water transportation was smooth, it would still take a lot longer than Kaifeng. Therefore, once it became the capital
, material supply will inevitably become a heavy burden."
They are the purpose of Chen Ke coming to Luoyang.
An ordinary person, after being rejected all the way, would not have the courage to break into Luoyang, a dragon and a tiger's den. However, Chen Ke firmly believed that there would be a turning point. Because the officials in the prefectures and counties along the way were of low level, their promotion and disgrace depended on the whims of the big shots in the court.
, so I can only rely on others.
And the old guys in Luoyang who are in the opposition will not look at the faces of those in the court. The saying "the opposition is a natural opposition party" also applies to the Song Dynasty. Whatever the guys in the government support, they will definitely oppose it, as long as
If they still have ambitions...
Chen Ke believes that as long as they still have ambitions, they will definitely take the initiative to contact him. Because the Zhao Zongji he represents is the most promising one besides Zhao Zongshi. They will not gain anything by supporting Zhao Zongshi. Only Zhao Zongji will come to power.
Only then do they have a chance to make a comeback.
After settling down at the post house, Chen Ke announced that he would rest for two days before returning to Beijing. It was the season when peonies were in full bloom, and the martial arts students could take the opportunity to visit the scenery of the divine capital, so naturally no one objected.
The students all went out to play, but Chen Ke stayed in the post house, drinking tea and reading a book. It seemed that he was quietly cultivating himself, but in fact he was fishing with Jiang Taigong, waiting for the 'willing ones' to take the bait.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no human hair. This made him secretly frustrated. Could it be that even the most staunch opposition parties thought that Zhao Zongshi would definitely win, and were worried that they would not be able to fight the fox and would be embarrassed?
Is it possible that none of the scholar-officials in the opposition are knowledgeable enough to see from clues that there are still variables in the situation?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire Wang Yu, how flawless he was in doing things, he was really a shady person...
His heart was as chaotic as grass. How could he still read with a guilty conscience? He raised his head and found that it was already dark outside, so he shouted: "Hold the lamp!"
Chen Yi walked in quickly, lit the lampstand in the room, and said softly: "Sir, it's time to eat."
"Have a meal." Chen Ke said angrily: "Have there been no guests today?"
"No." Chen Yi shook his head and said, "Since your lord wants to see them so much, why don't you go and visit them?" In his opinion, they are all well-known and respected people, and their rank is much higher than his own, even if
You have to sell yourself, and you have to be dignified, and you can't come to your door unsolicited.
"What do you know..." Chen Ke rolled his eyes at him. It was okay to visit him, but he was on an imperial mission and was just passing through Luoyang. How could he visit randomly without a legitimate reason? At the very least, he had to send an invitation.
bring it on?
I didn't even receive an invitation, which was really shameful.
The master and servant were worrying about it, when Chen Xin came in from outside and whispered: "Sir, there is a child who has brought some coins. He said that if you take a look, you will know what is going on."
"What makes money?" Chen Ke asked casually.
Chen Xin spread his hands.
Through the light, Chen Ke saw a bright yellow money.
"Ah!" He is very familiar with this thing. He got a few of them back then and put them to great use. It is the invincible 'Shao Yong Money'!
"How could I forget him!" Chen Ke said excitedly: "Call that kid in quickly."
"The kid put down the money and ran away." Chen Xin said carefully: "The brothers were afraid of causing trouble to the adults, so they didn't dare to stop him."
"I know." Chen Ke smiled nonchalantly and said, "Change your clothes and prepare your gifts. Sir, I want to visit the hermit at night."
