"A gentleman and a gentleman regard the same as his friends, and a villain and a villain regard the same profit as his friends. This is a natural principle. However, I say that villain has no friends, but gentlemen have it. I like to be a deceptive saying. What are gentlemen? Fan Gong, Han Gong, Fu Gong, Yang Kai, Guo Quan and others? What are villains? Lu Gong, Xia Gong, Du Gong, Yan Gong, Chen Gong, Jia Gong, etc.?"

This gentleman includes very broad, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Pang Ji, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, the five great gentlemen, and behind them are Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, Yu Jing, Shi Jie, Yin Zhu, Wang Su, Wang Yaochen, Xiao Song, etc. Those who are not familiar with but have great influence include Jiang Tang, Kong Daofu, Guo Quan, Yang Kai, Zheng Jian, Zhang Fengzhi, Sun Fu, Chen Miao and others.

"I will talk about Xia Shu. If it weren't for Xia Duke, how could Han Fan be responsible for the heavy responsibilities of the western border? Xia Duke not only recommended Fan Duke, but also recommended Han Duke. Especially when Han Duke was questioned by the people of Qinzhou, Xia Duke supported Han Duke with one hand, which made Han Duke overcome difficulties. Besides, Xia Duke ridiculed Ding Wei, opposed Zhenzong Xiangrui, promoted Pang Gong, opened warehouses and released grain, and lived more than 400,000 people in Xiangzhou. Hongzhou drove out cults and encouraged agriculture, Shaanxi emphasized border defense, and controlled local soldiers. Isn't this a political achievement? It's good, there are stains in life and extravagant. However, Duke Lu Mengzheng, Duke Kou Lai, Duke Han, and Xiao Song, who is not a luxury? Why did Renzong summon Duke Xia back to procuratorate and was so embarrassed later?"

Xia Su is a bad species, but it was not like that at first.

Song Xia discussed peace, but the northwest border defense became important. Xia Shun made many suggestions very wise and was Zhao Zhen's teacher, so Zhao Zhen promoted Xia Shun to the Privy Councilor.

Having personal feelings, talent, understanding military affairs, and understanding the Northwest, this appointment is correct.

But Xia Shu had not returned yet, Yu Jing, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Gongchen and others all started to act, and eleven impeachment memorials were successively issued, magnifying almost all of Xia Shu's stains.

Zhao Zhen was helpless and sent someone to say to Xia Shuo, "Teacher, you'd better not go to the capital, go to Bozhou first."

Xia Feng was unwilling to give up, so he entered the capital and found a reason. I am old and have walked so far. Can I rest in the capital first?

Then he presented a self-discrimination article of more than 10,000 words.

Even if I have bad character, I will wait for me to be the Prime Minister of Xifu for a few months first. I can’t take it before I take over, and I have created a historical record.

The memorial was presented and the gentlemen received a reply: "There is no need to achieve the best results in the picture, and no need to practice and implement it."

You can talk less nonsense and do more practical things to clear your crimes.

Xia Feng was stunned. This is a gentleman. What is a gentleman? A gentleman is gentle and gentle as jade. It is about loyalty, forgiving, gentle, honest, respectful and kind.

Even if the Master is wrong, how can we be kind to you gentlemen? If you don’t have me and Lu Yijian, how can your gentlemen’s leaders Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi become the leader?

Or if you have a clear distinction between public and private affairs, you are also called a clear distinction between public and private affairs?

When this evil cause is born, the consequences come.

Especially this party.

How harmful is it to form cliques? Look at the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Late Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and later the Ming Dynasty. Why did the Qing Dynasty rule for so long without foreign invasions, it might have been ruled. See what status the Qing Dynasty literati had, and what is the status of the Qing Dynasty literati, and what is the sergeant, and what is the better!

Besides, did the Song Dynasty have a democratic soil, and did these gentlemen put the people first?

"The loss of the late emperor was not in the northwest. There was no war in thirty years, and a war broke out. Who could lead the army? Therefore, the failure was also in the Qingli New Policy. The late emperor was very wise and stopped in time to attack the phenomenon of cliques. The loss of the late emperor was in the maintenance of his soldiers."

"Support a scholar?"

"Yes, when I pointed to the Suzaku Gate on the Suzaku Gate once, I asked Zhao Pu why I added a character behind the Suzaku. Zhao Gong said it was an auxiliary word. Taizu said it was a good idea to write it as Suzaku Gate. Why did I add this character more? Literati only know how to play with the words, and it was full of sourness and was a waste of time."

"ah."

"The reason why Taizu used literati was his words, "Five dynasties have suppressed cruelty and the people suffered the disaster. I have selected more than a hundred people who have done things to divide the great vassals, even if they are all greedy, they are not as good as the military officials. I believe that although civil officials are greedy, they are not as harmful as the military officials, and the court can accept it. But that was the previous dynasty, and the literati did not fully control the power of the state. Once it is like our dynasty, it may not be."

There are cases to be reflected on this. As long as Zhao Xu goes back and checks Taizu's actual records, you can find it out.

"Taizong used literati to consolidate his power. We cannot take it seriously. Let's see how many literati were used by Taizong on the border as the chief generals?"

The reason why it cannot be taken seriously was not said. The situation was very subtle at that time. Zhao Kuangyin died inexplicably. Chai Rong still had some influence. Some ministers and powerful people turned to Chai Rong in their hearts, and more ministers and powerful people turned to Zhao Kuangyin. However, not many heroes of Zhao Kuangyi's vassal residence could be found, so they widely used literati, including Kou Zhun, Zhang Qixian, Lu Mengzheng and others quickly took office.

But if you don’t say it, Zhao Xu should understand that Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to the hands of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Renzong, there was no need to do so, so he had to correct it. But on the contrary, Zhao Zhen did not correct it, but instead fell deeper and deeper.

"Your Highness, the late emperor may have raised scholars, such as Duke Fan, but these scholars are only a few. The others are not raising scholars, but raising Gu mother!"

"Wang Ju, you are also a scholar."

"I am a scholar, and I am also a citizen of the Song Dynasty."

However, Wang Ju obviously did not say in depth. Those people will be very troublesome in the future. Besides, he doesn’t know how many names he can win, and what kind of officials he will be released from abroad. Even if Zhao Xu appreciates him in the future, if he has a low official position and is only in his early twenties, what right to say?

Zhao Xu said again: "You deliberately called me to say this just for the sake of your wish?"

These? If you remember these, you won’t know how many detours you will take in the future.

Why do we need to form a clan? If there are more people and more power, we will have more say. Understand this truth, you and that husband will be able to unite the centrist in the future. Whether it is revolutionary or reformed, we must unite the centrists in order to make those oppositions lose their power.

Look, Wang Ju said in his heart.

Anyway, it's not time to talk about it.

So he said: "There is a strange man in this imperial examination. I want to take you to see you."

"Oh, who is it?"

"One picker, one really has both civil and military skills."

"Take me to see you."

"I ask the palace to come down to let him meet you, but I have to say two things. The first is that you must not disclose your identity."

Zhao Xu was very happy.

"Secondly, once the results are released, your highness is better not to meet everyone."

Gao Taotao said, it’s okay to see each other, it may be a good thing for his son, so Zhao Xu came several times during this period.

But don't take it seriously. Gao Taotao is Gao Taotao, his wife is mother, Zhao Shu is Zhao Shu, his father is also the emperor. Now, including himself, he is just a disciple and an ordinary scholar. It doesn't matter if he meets him, and he will not have any thoughts.

Once the palace examination results are released and the rankings are decided, they will be awarded the official position soon. If Zhao Xu runs diligently again, Zhao Shu may not be able to maintain his current idea.

"You..."

"It is not a word that is punished by the minister, and loyal words are beneficial to the actions. This is the way of the whole father and son, and the way of the king and the minister. Who makes His Highness the Lord be His Highness?"

"Okay, stop talking," Zhao Xu said helplessly.

Others said he would really doubt it, but Wang Ju said he would believe it, because there was a previous example. Wang Ju saved his aunt. What kind of credit was this? But even though he knew it was a great contribution, for the sake of his promise and for the sake of his aunt's reputation, he would rather suffer in Yanzhou, through life and death, and never tell about this experience.

Moreover, Zhao Shu is not old now, and it is normal to think that Zhao Xu has taken office. I don’t know that year will be in the future, maybe twenty or thirty years. Therefore, it can indeed be called a loyal advice.

Wang Ju took Zhao Xu to a teahouse not far away.

This is the most reassuring thing about Gao Taotao.

The Song Dynasty was rich, and the scholars were the richest, so they all spent their time and money, which also affected the vast number of scholars. Among the candidates who came to the capital for the exam, they were not among the poor, but they were not even more likely to be high-ranking families. If they had money in their hands, they were rarely able to enter Beijing, so after the exam, they all started to spend their time and money. Even if some scholars did not have much money in their hands, they also spent their time and money, entering and leaving brothels, including Liu Yong.

However, Wang Ju has been to Beijing for so long and has never been to a brothel once, let alone bringing Zhao Xu to a brothel.

No matter Wang Ju is scheming or ruthless, this one is reassuring.

In fact, he is full of tricks and Gao Taotao is not very repulsive. As a ruler, can he succeed without any tricks? Learn from this child.

In this regard, she had the opposite attitude to some scholars and officials.

So what if this child doesn’t learn well in the future and the court doesn’t use it, what harm can it be?

At this point, she and Liu E were very similar. Liu E used Wang Qinruo. Although Wang Qinruo was charming, she was loyal. She was also an lonely minister. The more lonely minister, the better she was. However, she did not let Zhao Zhen get close to Wang Qinruo, for fear that her adopted son would become her second husband in her later years under the leadership of Wang Qinruo.

Another point is that Gao Taotao is also more at ease.

Maybe Wang Ju was very repulsive to her, but Gao Taotao's life did continue the usual style of the royal family in the Song Dynasty, which was frugality.

Wang Ju was also frugal. He heard that before his younger brother and sister grew up, they worked as fathers and mothers in that small village, cooked and washed and smeared, and arranged the matter together. This was not easy. Gao Taotao even asked about Zhu Jun’s transformation.
