I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 662 Song Mu's Plan

With the fall of the barbarian king and the recovery of Nanwu City, the war in southern Xinjiang has undergone new changes, and the pacification of southern Xinjiang is just around the corner.

At this time, Song Mu had also returned to Jizhou Mansion.

Song Mu didn't mention much about the war in southern Xinjiang during this trip, but only gave Fan Zhengxiong a reasonable answer, and then took out Cui Kexing's body and explained the situation, which can be regarded as eradicating the Jizhou government. disaster.

As for this time, Song Mu personally thinks that Song Liwen sent two demon corpses to test him out when he knew he had returned to Jizhou Mansion, and the demon corpses had to maintain basic operation to cause so many murders.

Now that Song Liwen was seriously injured and didn't know the situation, although he was still worried, he was temporarily stable.

It's just that the embarrassing thing is that Cui Kexing, when everyone learned that he had fallen into the devil's way, especially his family members were terrified of the corpse, and no one claimed it in the end.

In the end, Song Mu had no choice but to cremate him and bury him in a wilderness.

Then Song Mu returned to his home in Shiyang County. After half a month, the relatives at home were relieved.

In the following days, Song Mu's life seemed to return to peace again.

Song Mu walks around his home and private school every day. It just so happens that the books of the Song family have already been printed. Song Mu got some and spread them in Shiyang County. The reputation has also become popular, which has given Song Mu and Li Dong a lot of confidence.

Not long after, the war in the southern border of the Wen Dynasty was finally settled. This one-year war finally cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Guangdong Province almost became a deadly enemy for a while, but it finally saved the face of the Wen Dynasty. Let Li Mo'er, the new king, have a good impression in front of the common people.

On this day, Song Mu was looking at the manuscript of the book that he had sorted out last night in the private school. At this time, there was a hurried footstep outside, and Li Dong's figure was quickly revealed. Excited.

"Master, have you read the latest Tian Tian Wen Kan?"

Li Dong said so, and immediately put the things in his hands on the table. Seeing that it was the latest "Tianxia Wenkan", Song Mu reached out to pick it up, and Li Dong's voice had already come.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too hasty. Even if Shizong wants to abolish the 'Zonguo Law', it will not be accomplished overnight, and it is so thorough."

Li Dong took a sip of his tea and seemed to be coming from the bookstall outside. Song Mu's heart moved immediately, and he probably knew what was written on it. He opened the page and found that it was on the first article of the magazine. , with a big title written on it.

The holy edict abolished the laws of the Zong and the country, and relieved the suffering of the Shi Zong.

Seeing these sentences, even Song Mu couldn't help raising his eyebrows at the moment. He raised his head and glanced at Li Dong who was filled with righteous indignation. Song Mu turned the page of the book silently to check the contents.

The content written above is complicated, but Song Mu can see something in it after reading the whole article.

One is that the children of Shizong will no longer be required to join the army, but will decide whether to join voluntarily.

The second is that in the future only when there is a catastrophe in the Wen Dynasty, the children of Shizong will need to be dispatched by the Wen Dynasty court, but how many troops will be dispatched and how far they will go will be left to Shizong's own decision.

In addition, all kinds of affairs of Shizong in the future, except those directly related to the imperial court, will be decided by Shizong himself.

For this reason, the imperial court also established a new institution under the jurisdiction of Qing Tianwei, responsible for the liaison between Shizong and the imperial court.

The above-mentioned many items are all because the imperial court gave up all kinds of jurisdiction over Shizong, and let Shizong make his own decisions, which can be said to have completely loosened Shizong.

Such a situation is indeed outrageous, at least from the perspective of a scholar, the imperial court and Shizong have become a rather strange enfeoffment relationship.

But apart from these, Song Mu saw a different condition at the bottom of the article.

It is written above that in the future, the selection of the children of Shizong should not be better than that of the Wen Dynasty, and the Wen Dynasty's imperial examinations will select officials, and all the scholars who are among the top scholars will be court literati.

This seems to be a clause that is no different from the current situation, but Song Mu can see the deep meaning in it.

That is, in the future, there will be no talent selection ceremony after the Wen Dynasty Chunwei, and talents will not be diverted. As long as they enter the Wen Dynasty imperial examination, they will be Wen Dynasty literati, and they will not be able to enter the Poetry School.

Seeing this, Song Mu's expression slowed down a little. At this moment, he put down the book and looked at Li Dong.

"Why does Your Highness start to care about this matter again?"

Song Mu asked, and Li Dong sighed with some helplessness on his face at the moment.

"Although I don't want to deal with government affairs, this matter is really too important. The decrees that my father has implemented for decades will be abolished in one day..."

"Even if the war in southern Xinjiang has calmed down a bit, there are still powerful enemies around."

"There are more than thirty Shizongs, and all the children choose to stay or stay independently. Among the four frontier troops, how many people are Shizong's children."

"If you leave it like this, the Wen Dynasty's combat power may suffer losses."

Li Dong said in a rather worried voice, but Song Mu showed a dazed look on his face.

Li Dong looked at this issue from the perspective of a scholar, but at the same time, his feelings for Li Dong made him feel a little uncomfortable about it.

Song Mu was quite calm about this, and even took a sip of water from the teacup at this moment.

Li Dong glanced at Song Mu, and now he put away his previous appearance, but there was still some dissatisfaction on his face.

Song Mu took a sip of tea and said.

"Your Highness, do you know how many Scholars and Scholars there are in the Wen Dynasty now?"

Li Dong paused, and after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"The Ministry of Rites calculated last year that there may be [-] Jinshi, and perhaps [-] Scholars."

Song Mu nodded and looked at the other party at the moment.

"Over the hundreds of years of the Wen Dynasty, the number of scholars and scholars has increased, and the strength of our Wen Dynasty has really grown."

"Perhaps the first emperor wanted to use this method to balance the relationship between the Shizong and the Wen Dynasty, but the situation in the Wen Dynasty is different now. The imperial court has hundreds of thousands of officials, and it is actually difficult for the Shizong to compete."

Having said that, Song Mu talked to the other party about the last article in the "Tianxia Wenkan", and Li Dong was also a little stunned when he heard about the control of talents in the future.

"During the hundreds of years since the founding of the Wen Dynasty, the relationship between Emperor Shizong and the court has not been that pure, and the selection of talents in the past has not favored one over another, but now His Majesty has just solved the calculations in everyone's mind."

"Master, what you mean is that this is... Your Majesty's own plan?"

Li Dong asked with some hesitation, Song Mu looked at the other party, but he thought of Li Mo'er that day in his mind, nodded slightly at this moment, and shook his head immediately.

"Perhaps it is His Majesty's personal preference. She may have a different opinion of Emperor Shizong."

Song Mu said ambiguously, but he was a little clear in his heart. What Li Mo'er did was to completely hold Wen Chao's combat power in his hands.

Li Mo'er is an ambitious person, but she seems to be unable to bear it.

Li Dong didn't speak any more, but at this moment Song Mu changed the topic and asked Li Dong immediately.

"How is your Highness doing now?"

"I've already finished another book, and now Chengming can help out, but Huaitong has no chance because he has to take the Juren examination."

"Your Highness is not worried about resting for two days. The end of the year is approaching, and we will be lively and lively with everyone."

Song Mu nodded and said, but at this moment he suddenly reached out and handed something to Li Dong from his arms.

It was the Wenxing badge that Li Ao gave to Song Mu back then, and now Song Mu gave it to Li Dong.

"This is something His Majesty gave me back then. Now, it should be regarded as returning to the original owner."

Li Dong took the waist card and recognized it immediately, with a moved expression on his face at this moment, while Song Mu said to the other party.

"Your Highness, although we are far away from the court, we are not the free people in this world. The literati in the Wen Dynasty always want to kill demons and demons."

"In the future, Your Highness will not practice together with me, but try to go further."

As Song Mu said, he stood up and looked at the other party, and then at the situation outside.

"There is also this private school, but now it seems that it is a bit small. After the new year, I plan to expand it. It can be regarded as a preparation for the Song Family Academy."
