Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Emperor Wende was also paying attention to the spat between Shengshengxiu and Guozijian.

Chang En knows the heart of an emperor.

He ordered people to buy Dazhou Life Show and Guozijian Daily every issue, and put them in the palace for Emperor Wende to read at any time.

Emperor Wende frowned slightly as he looked at the article about the Imperial College that was published on the life show.

Then he asked casually, Do you know who wrote this article?

Chang En is not the gangsters of the Imperial College.

He bowed and said: Your Majesty, it is understood that Wenqing Bookstore bought Cai Zhongshan and Xu Chengye. The content of the article, no accident, was provided by these two people. Wenqing Bookstore also found someone else to retouch the pen, and then With skinny articles published on life shows.

Emperor Wende frowned, Cai Zhongshan, Xu Chengye?

Exactly!

If I remember correctly, these two were killed by Liu Zhao and his wife back then. Instead of holding grudges, they helped Shengshengxiu deal with the Imperial College? How much benefit did Shengshengxiu give them, and they were able to persuade them to betray the Imperial College?

Chang En said: I don't know the exact amount. The old slave found out that there was an article in the previous issue about picking up ashes from Cai Zhongshan's wall, which was tacitly approved by Cai Zhongshan himself. For this, Life Show paid a sum of thousands of taels of silver. To Cai Zhongshan, the euphemistic name is: Reputation damage fee!

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, For money, reputation, and face can all be sold. This Cai Zhongshan is really shameless. No wonder he can do things like pick up dust from the wall. Hiring such a person for Life Show is not much better. The Guozijian hides filth and evil people, and they don’t know how to check and correct themselves. They only know how to lie to the superior and the inferior. Today’s disaster will happen, and they deserve it.”

What your majesty said is true. The two sides are arguing, does your majesty want to interfere? Chang En asked cautiously.

Emperor Wende threw the newspaper away and said, Don't interfere for now. Let's see what else will be revealed in the life show. Does the Imperial College have countermeasures?

The old slave learned that the Imperial College intends to start with Shanhe Academy. The students of Shanhe Academy have complicated backgrounds, and it is easy to find loopholes.

Emperor Wende laughed, When the two sides fight, as far as I am concerned, I can take this opportunity to see who is loyal and who is traitor. The Guozijian has such a big problem, it is time for a top-down, all-round rectification. Go and invite a few lovers from the Zhengshitang, as well as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.

Old slave obeys!

Emperor Wende took this opportunity to hold a small court meeting.

Starting from the black material exposed by the life show,

Discuss how to rectify the Guozijian.

This matter involves all interests.

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.

Some people say that personnel will be replaced, but the original system and teaching plan will be maintained.

Some people also said that next year will be the year of the imperial examination, and the replacement of personnel at this time is fearful of turmoil. It will affect the performance of Guozijian students in the imperial examination next year.

If Guozijian fails to achieve anything in the imperial examination next year, it will become the biggest shame and crisis in the history of Guozijian. The consequences were even worse than the life show revelations. At that time, I am afraid that a large number of students will be lost to Shanhe Academy.

In the end, Shanhe Academy will be the biggest winner.

Others say that since it is necessary to rectify, it must be completely rectified. Don't change half and keep the other half, it becomes four different things.

Not only will the personnel be replaced, but the teaching system, even teaching materials, and admissions standards will all be changed.

Even though Shanhe Academy has many deficiencies, it also has something worth learning from.

Several parties were so quarrelsome that they almost went into battle shirtless and fought directly.

Emperor Wende had a headache from the noise of his ministers.

He directly named Master Li, Zhongshu Ling, What is Li Aiqing's thoughts on this matter?

Master Li stood up, coughed lightly, and cleared his throat.

He said loudly: Your Majesty, it has been ten years since His Royal Highness the First Prince returned from Beirong. Ten years is enough time for the Beirong royal family to stabilize the situation and recuperate. In the past few years, our Great Zhou was plagued by natural and man-made disasters. The soldiers said that the grasslands were not much better, with frequent droughts and many pastures turned into sandy soil.

Weichen was thinking that Beirong mainly lives on animal husbandry, if the pasture really turns into sand, Beirong will suffer a lot. How can Bei Rong, who has no food or drink and is in great distress, get out of trouble? After much deliberation, there is only one way for Beirong to get out of trouble, and that is to send troops south to plunder the people of our Great Zhou city and make up for their losses. Once Beirong moved, Xiliang couldn't stay still. Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger!

Master Li's words were astonishing, as soon as he uttered it, it was a matter of military and national importance, and the situation was instantly suppressed.

The ministers present were caught off guard.

Everyone gritted their teeth, what a treacherous and ghostly Li Bingming.

Emperor Wende also looked shocked.

He subconsciously sat up straight, Why did Aiqing suddenly mention Beirong? Could it be that Aiqing got some news?

Mr. Li shook his head slightly, Recently, the defense at the border was changed, and I took the time to chat with those soldiers. They all said that the grassland is dry and the water and grass are not abundant. Because of this, the cavalry plan has been delayed. The old man then thinks of Beirong, I am afraid Beirong The current situation is very bad. If this continues, it will soon reach the point where we have to send troops south.”

Emperor Wende frowned, Is there any movement in the northwest?

Mr. Li said: I can't talk to the young man, and the situation in the Northwest this year is not ideal. It is rumored that the Northwest Army has more than doubled the size of the night, and the scope of investigation has even expanded thousands of miles away. There have been many small-scale incidents. bloody contact.

Emperor Wende immediately ordered, Chang En, go and find out all the memorials from the Northwest for the past six months, no, the past year. I want to have a look.

Chang En took the order to retreat.

A small court meeting about how to rectify the Imperial College changed its style of painting in seconds and turned into a discussion of military and state affairs.

Guozijian?

In the face of military and national affairs, that is scum, not worth mentioning.

If you want to fight or quarrel, you can go wherever you want.

Do you want to rectify?

That's what Emperor Wende said.

Emperor Wende was busy with military and state affairs, and his handling of the Imperial College was likely to change from being patient and careful to cutting through the mess with a sharp knife. He stewed all the chaos and directly carried out all-round rectification of the Imperial College.

Someone saw through Mr. Li's treacherous scheme.

After the Xiaochao meeting, Lu Shizhong called Master Li to stop, Who is Master Li looking for?

Master Li laughed, Soon Master Lu will take the old man's position. Why don't Master Lu wait patiently, why bother to kill them all?

Lu Shizhong frowned, Master Li suddenly mentioned Beirong, what is his intention?

Mr. Li was talking nonsense in a serious manner, Naturally, it is paving the way for Mr. Lu to make contributions. Farewell!

Believe in his evil.

Lu Shizhong frowned and watched Master Li leave. Immediately afterwards, he went to Lantai Temple, dug out the materials of Beirong and Xiliang, and studied them carefully.

Zhou Shi'an glanced at Lu Shizhong who was reading the materials before the case.

My lord's information is a little outdated. If you want to know the latest situation of Bei Rong, your lord needs to consult the records of the thirty-sixth year of Kaiyao.

Lu Shizhong looked curiously at Zhou Shi'an, a scruffy old man.

Thank you, can you help me dig up the materials of Kaiyao's thirty-sixth year? Lantai Temple has a lot of books, without your help, I can't do it.

My lord, wait a moment.

Zhou Shi'an is worthy of having worked in Lantai Temple for so many years.

He knows exactly where any information is placed.

Soon, he came to Lu Shizhong with a basket of materials.

These are the records about Beirong Xiliang thirty years after Kaiyao. There are official documents, wild rumors, and secret reports from spies, all here. However, thirty-eight years after Kaiyao, Beirong's news is almost Cut off. I only know that Beirong has changed three kings in a row, and it was not until the second year of Wende that it stabilized.

Lu Shizhong was overjoyed, Thank you! What's your name? What subject?

Zhou Shi'an smiled, It's not worth mentioning! The adults are busy, so the lower officials don't bother.

After speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Shizhong didn't do much to keep him.

In his opinion, the officials of Lantai Temple, the management documents are okay, nothing else.

Lu Shizhong soaked in Lantai Temple for two days and went through all the information he could find.

He rushed back to the mansion excitedly, washed up, and was about to enter the palace to face the saint.

Ren Qiu chatted with him, Is something important happening?

Lu Shizhong laughed, Li Bingming suddenly mentioned Beirong, there is indeed a conspiracy. Shuzi is hateful.

Ren Qiu bit the apple, Bei Rong is about to send troops south, could it be a fake?

Even if it is true, it will be a matter of the next year or two. He deliberately alarmist, just want to reap benefits.

What's the benefit? Didn't you say that he will retire soon? This matter has been decided, so there are still variables.

Of course he won't back down obediently. He clearly wants to cause trouble. I even suspect that he has colluded with His Royal Highness the First Prince. Life Xiu just made an attack on the Imperial College at this time, and he brought up Beirong again at this time. There is no trick, the official twisted his head off and kicked it like a ball.

Ren Qiu clicked and ate an apple in a few bites.

He threw the fruit core, clapped his hands, and opened his mouth and said: Even if Master Li colluded with His Highness the First Prince, this matter may not be bad for you. I heard someone say something a while ago, and I think it makes sense. Any Reforms are easiest to promote during a war, because everything must serve the war.

Dazhou and Beirong will fight sooner or later, no matter what Mr. Li plans, he will not be able to keep the position of Zhongshuling. At this time, he was still tossing, obviously hoping that the situation would become chaotic, and it would be better for Bei Rong and Da Zhou to fight as soon as possible, so that it would be convenient for him to fish in troubled waters. I reckon that he colluded with His Highness the First Prince in order to facilitate the war as soon as possible.

Lu Shi paused, and frowned, Who did you listen to say these words?

Ren Qiu grinned, I didn't hear anyone say it, I figured it out myself.

Lu Shizhong frowned, Then tell me, Lord Li and His Royal Highness the First Prince colluded to facilitate the war. How would this benefit the two of them?

Ren Qiu grinned, The benefits are great. The eldest prince is warlike, if there is a fight, he will definitely call for a fight, and take this opportunity to seize military power and strengthen his influence in the military.

As for Mr. Li, once there is a war, as a veteran, he can naturally continue to shine and share the worries of the court and His Majesty. Even if he doesn't stay in the court, he can go anywhere on the battlefield. With his qualifications and status, if he is a military supervisor, it will be more effective than anyone else's words. Even Lu Hou, who is the most rebellious and unruly, wants to give Mr. Li two points.

As for the benefits of Mrs. Zhao, it is even greater. Her Four Seas Trading Company took the opportunity to intervene in the supply of military supplies, control the logistics of the army, and received a lot of money. If it were me, I would even use the opportunity of war to tie up the Shaofu and make the Shaofu a puppet.

Absurd! Lu Shizhong said it was absurd, but in fact he was already shocked by Ren Qiu's bold words.

Lu Shizhong walked back and forth in the room, They are clearly trying to evade the imperial power and His Majesty by doing this. No, I cannot let their conspiracy come true.

Don't worry about it. Ren Qiu sneered.

Lu Shizhong looked dissatisfied, What do you mean by worrying blindly? As His Majesty's subject, I should share His Majesty's worries.

Ren Qiu picked up another apple and began to eat it.

He asked: Let's put it another way, get rid of His Royal Highness, get rid of the Four Seas Trading Company, and get rid of Master Li. What will happen when Da Zhou and Beirong Xiliang fight? Relying on the traditional military supply, you think you can support it? This national war?

This battle may last for several years. Who do you think can organize such a huge supply of food and grass? In other words, who has the ability to supply military supplies on time without taxation or corvee?

Conversely, increasing taxes and corvée will inevitably cause a large number of ordinary people to go bankrupt. Without the Four Seas Trading Company and Mrs. Zhao, there is no place for so many refugees to settle. The refugees had no food to eat, and soon there were wars everywhere, and the court was distracted to calm the chaos. Internal and external troubles, this is a dead end! No matter when Beirong goes south, it is obvious that Beirong is betting on the war with the national fortune. Isn't Da Zhou betting on the fortune of the country? Gambling is not terrible, but you are afraid of losing!
