I am Da Song

Chapter 268
This dispute among the literati was raging, and it was put before Zhao Huan's case in the second half of the first month.

In fact, the emperor, prime minister, court ministers, and local celebrities have all been paying attention to this fierce struggle for a long time.

Theoretically speaking, the students and citizens are the cutting-edge class. Facing the stubborn conservative ministers, it is impossible for them to have such strong fighting and destructive power, disturbing the literati and bureaucrats day and night.

The power and violence controlled by the two parties are completely unequal. Whether it is a top-down reform or a bottom-up revolution, it is very difficult for this new class.

The normal situation should be that the conservative literati took advantage of their privileges to brutally persecute and encircle them.

How can there be a revolution without bloodshed?

However, only a small number of students were imprisoned, and even fewer were beaten to death or persecuted.

The root of everything is that the students have stronger privileges and more violent class support behind them.

And this privilege and class is naturally Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

The violent institutions that the scholar-officials relied on as their pillars, the army was completely out of command.

After Zhao Huan's bloody cleansing, hundreds of officers were executed on the spot, and no soldier dared to help the scholar-bureaucrats persecute the students.

Without the strongest means of violence, scholar-bureaucrats are like paper tigers whose minions have been removed.

As for Daxing unjust prison, no matter how you say it, it is a serious challenge to the court's law in the judiciary.

The emperor's eyes and ears, and the 24-way surveillance censor are always watching the local officials, severely restricting their privileged means.

Arresting hundreds or thousands of people will not have a fundamental impact on the student movement.

But it can directly sentence an official's official career to death.Hundreds of thousands of unjust cases and tragedies were created at one time, and the supervisory censor checked every one accurately.

Even the supervisory censors don't have to deliberately stare at where the conflicts have occurred, and there will be dense reports of snowflakes sent to them when they sit at home, telling them where officials have arrested a large number of students.

The supervisory censor didn't want to care about it, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.Otherwise, they are the ones who are unlucky.

The imperial power didn't even have to end the game in person, and the literati and bureaucrats were forced to tie their hands and feet by secretly pulling sideways.

At the end of the first lunar month, the imperial court formally held a court meeting to discuss the countermeasures against this ideological debate involving the whole country and the world.

Zhao Huan personally presided over this court meeting. After all, if the scholar-bureaucrats are allowed to preside over this court meeting, they will immediately pass the court's law and try their best to suppress the student riots!
From the emperor down to the Wende Hall, all the ministers of the imperial court participated in this meeting, including the prime minister of the political affairs hall, the chief minister of the Privy Council, the chief minister of the third division, the ministerial decree of the Shangshu province, the six ministers, the Zuodu censor of the inspectorate, and the Dali Temple Qing, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion and Chen Dong, the Taixue Siye who represents the students.

After everyone arrived, Zhao Huan reprimanded him with a stern face: "Look at how decent you all are. This trend of material discussion is simply a scandal in my holy dynasty. When it spread, it made the barbarians laugh at it. When the scholar-bureaucrats abused the underachievers Disregarding guidelines, moral corruption, barbarians and beasts. The students mocked the scholar-bureaucrats as beasts and food, and were servile."

"That's what the sages' books taught you? The more you read, the more refined and scumbag you become, not as good as a beast?"

"Since the country is so respectful of Confucianism, scholars and students learn from Confucius and Mencius every day, but in the end they are full of beasts in clothes, and they simply smashed up the Confucian temple. Anyway, in the end, the scholars are not as good as ordinary people, so they simply let the people rule the country. It’s not enough to make the Manchu Dynasty a mess.”

Everyone was silent, watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.I know that the officials are just making use of the problem.

The two parties scolded each other, and it was inevitable that they would be saliva all over.

In the end, if it is not the emperor, it can only be the entire Confucian faction who is responsible.

The scholar-bureaucrats quarreled with the students, and in the end the master of Wanshi Emperor disappeared... If Confucius could survive, he would definitely kill these unworthy disciples on the spot.

After Zhao Huan finished his reprimand, he looked at all the ministers sternly, trying his best to suppress the urge to raise the corners of his mouth.

Since becoming emperor, Zhao Huan's biggest feeling is that his acting skills are really improving by leaps and bounds.

Obviously, my heart is already happy, and my appetite has improved a lot recently. I can eat two bowls of rice every meal, and I have gained nearly ten catties in a first month.

But what was shown was still furious, with a murderous face, as if he was really desperate for both parties.

Zhao Huan deliberately remained silent for a moment, to see if any officials jumped out to protest for the entire scholar-bureaucrat class.For example, collective resignation to show dissatisfaction.

After being glanced at by the emperor, everyone thought they were mud bodhisattvas.

How powerful is the class of scholar-officials, who can manipulate the highest ministers and top ministers in the court at will and make them resign?

Who will compensate these people after they retire from first-rank and second-rank officials?

This is a very practical question.

Are these court prime ministers leaders of scholar-bureaucrats?
Or is the will of the so-called scholar-bureaucrat class the leader of the entire class?

Obviously, the result of this non-mysterious reality plane is self-evident.

Among the scholar-officials, no one can dominate a dignified prime minister.

As long as there is such a possibility or inclination to a person, Zhao Huan will immediately dispatch millions of forbidden troops to exterminate the nine clans of this secret emperor.

As individuals, literati and bureaucrats can treason the country, collude with foreign enemies, secretly obstruct, and deceive others, but as a whole, there must never be a leader who can openly and directly fight against the imperial power.

Generally, this kind of person is called a powerful minister, and the one who dies in the end will be miserable.

Since the leaders of the literati and bureaucrats did not intend to play the trick of resigning collectively, Zhao Huan looked at the prime ministers and said: "This incident has seriously affected the image of our dynasty, and even weakened the people's awe of the authority of the government. Calm down. You are all the ministers of the court, the leaders among the scholar-bureaucrats. Today we must come up with an idea, how to control the situation and calm the disputes?"

"The right minister speaks first."

Mei Zhili got up and said seriously: "I think that the top ten academies of Songyang, Yuelu, Suiyang, Culai, Maoshan, Hualin, Xiangshan, Shigu, Lize and Bailudong should be severely punished. Songyang College should be severely punished. Zhang Jiucheng, the head of the mountain, will punish him for inciting students and complaining about him. Songyang Academy will be closed and all students will be dismissed."

"I think that this time the students are discussing state affairs without a king or a father, and these top ten academies are behind the scenes. As long as this culprit is strictly controlled and students are not allowed to leave the school, most of the raging discussions will immediately subside. The students should Concentrate on studying and not get involved in national affairs."

How cruel.

Zhao Huan looked sideways at him.

This move directly draws the salary from the bottom of the pot and locks all the students in the school, so that the scholar-bureaucrats can free up their hands to easily deal with the lonely citizens.

After all, it is too easy for the feudal landlords to clean up the industrial and commercial pariahs.
