Zhao Xi could imagine the repercussions his article would cause, otherwise he would not have signed it.
Sure enough, the day after the article was published, Zeng Bu and Gao Zunyu requested an audience, bringing with them piles of manuscripts.
Zhao Xi was really speechless.
He was already very cautious. He explained the importance of culture to a nation due to several catastrophes in the Central Plains culture, and also pointed out the development process of national integration... How could these lead to confusion between Huayi and Huayi?
"that's it?"
Zhao Xi was not very angry, which was considered normal, but not having any reaction was abnormal.
"besides······"
Zeng Bu and Gao Zunyu submitted another pile of manuscripts. Gao Zunyu no longer led the troops, or the old commander no longer led the troops, so Gao Zunyu took the title of Taiwei and took charge of the affairs of the Gao family.
Zhao Xi looked at it again and could tell from the style of writing that this was probably written by the cabinet. Fortunately, although his understanding of his article was not his original intention, it was more or less close.
"It is not appropriate to completely ban different opinions... You will think about it carefully and allow different opinions to occur on the premise of guiding the direction of public opinion. I am not a dictator, and my post was made with emotion."
"This is not a criticism of the government, it is just a pure debate. Whether it is a current opinion or an internal reference, as long as it ensures the correct direction of public opinion, you can decide for yourself what kind of article to publish."
They are not novices, how to do it, how to do it to satisfy themselves, I believe they can do a good job. This is the first time Zhao Xi has experienced public opinion, and he does not want to have a reputation that cannot tolerate other voices.
As ministers, shouldn’t they share the king’s worries? In other words, they can take the blame for the king. If the king has done everything, then what’s the use of the ministers?
For example, the cabinet members who wrote articles have performed their duties very well. Learn from others...
Zhao Xi handed over the articles of the cabinet and those of scholars to Zeng Bu and Zeng Bu.
Shilin, Shilin, Zhao Xi thought of those so-called intellectuals and scholars in later generations who had a large number of fans, but often sensationalized and even didn't mind turning the facts upside down to show that their knowledge was superior to others.
To put it bluntly, they are just a group of people who have nothing to do but are looking for trouble. They shout slogans that can stand on a high moral ground, deceive too many people who do not know the truth, and make random noises.
It's impossible to explain how many tasks they have behind them and what interests they have to serve...
Of course, Zhao Xi does not mean that all of them are sanctimonious, there are also those who simply think they have different opinions and shout.
The Song Dynasty was very open-minded. In the early years, Zhao Xi organized official court debates on scriptures, which created an environment where a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended.
It doesn't matter, as long as the court can still influence public opinion, guide public opinion, and even interfere with public opinion, everything doesn't matter.
Sure enough, they all quite understand the king's thoughts.
Both the Current Commentary and the Internal Reference have opened special columns for special issues on Huayi and cultural inheritance. However, every time an article different from Zhao Xi's opinion is published, there will be no less than three articles that are different from this kind of article.
Refute particularly targeted arguments.
This is no longer a group fight, this is a group of experts in the same weight class beating each other up.
The so-called scholars originally included people who failed in the imperial examinations and were so depressed that they had to become scholars in order to gain fame.
What are the ministers in the court? They are the heroes who were created from the so-called thousands of troops and crossed the single-plank bridge! Even when it comes to writing articles, compared to the scholars, the ministers are more than capable.
This is momentum.
When opinion articles begin to be published, people will naturally pay attention and become familiar with the issue.
At this time, when all opposing articles are published, there will be targeted rebuttal articles. Whether it is the writing level of the article, the purpose of the article, or the basis for citations, it will be higher than the opposing articles, which will naturally lead to readers' recognition.
orientation.
Zeng Bu is quite savvy. As for Gao Zunyu, Zhao Xi knows how many bowls of rice he eats.
These royal relatives, especially the generals inherited from the dynasty, seem to have shortcomings in poetry and calligraphy culture.
Naturally, it is also difficult to use military strategy from the strategy of poetry and calligraphy culture.
This is how this round of the Huayi debate began. Most people found it inexplicable. There was no incentive at all and it just started in a confused way.
If you know what Shi Lun and Internal Reference are about, you will be able to understand the direction of the imperial court. Those who do not understand the nature of Shi Lun and Internal Reference will begin to understand the Chinese and the barbarians because of the quality of these articles.
This is not the case at all...Those who understand the original intention of the official article cannot publicize that it is a public opinion preparation for the recovery of Yanyun.
Being so confused, even Zhao Xi had to accept this confusion.
There are always people who understand...
"The official family, Yelu Yixin sent a messenger to Bianliang, and stayed at Dutingyi, and delivered a letter to the court through the Northern Liao envoy, known as the letter of credence..."
After all, this was a matter. Wang Anshi was very shameless, but he did not make a casual decision in the cabinet.
"What do you mean? Yelu Yixin handed over the so-called credentials?"
Zhao Xi was also shocked.
According to reports on the battle situation in Northern Liao from various quarters, Yelu Yixin had already shown obvious signs of defeat at this time.
It can be judged by the fact that the Northern Liao court will quell the civil strife.
At this time, Yelu Yixin actually shamelessly delivered his credentials to the court?
"Back to the official house, it is indeed the case. According to what the visitor said, Yelu Yixin will lead his headquarters and the three large tribes attached to him to restore the Khitan's national title..."
Zhao Xi was speechless. He didn't accomplish anything, but he was very determined to be an emperor.
"Then what?"
"The envoy said that he was entrusted by their Khitan king Yelu Yixin..."
Fortunately, he didn't dare to call himself emperor, but he dared to directly use the title of Khitan to call him king, which was enough to see clearly what Yelu Yixin was thinking.
"Yelu Yixin has two requests. First, Yelu Yixin asks the court to support him. The day he ascends the throne will be the time when Khitan returns to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."
"The so-called support is to allow the imperial army to pass through the area controlled by Yelu Yixin and directly fight against the soldiers and horses of the Northern Liao court..."
"The second request is that if the state is timid and does not dare to send troops, please allow the state to allow Yelu Yixin to lead his troops to annex if it is impossible to do anything."
"You only need to give him the land of Yelu Yixin, and he will lead his troops to guard the northern defense line for the country and the North, and will not allow Bei Liao to step into the country's borders!"
Wang Anshi really didn't want to tell the officials about these things that insulted the intelligence of the Song Dynasty court, but this was a major matter and had to be reported to the court.
"It's over?"
"Well, that's it."
Zhao Xi was really dumbfounded. He really couldn't figure out whether Yelu Yixin was confused by sleep or took the wrong medicine. How could he have such an idea?
"However, the envoy said that their Khitan king very much agrees with the Huayi theory discussed in the state dynasties."
"As long as the Khitan annexes the Song Dynasty, they will be the subjects of the Song Dynasty and will be loyal to the Song Dynasty!"
Alas, how can this article be ordinary? No, someone just borrowed it.
