I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 436: Rebel against Tiangang! Xu Huizhi’s plan to leave his name in history

Night, slightly cool.

Su Liang carried a food box to the room where Xu Huizhi lived.

"Xu Jiancheng, it's a long night, let's talk about Zhou Zhengyan!" Su Liang took out the food and wine from the food box and put it on the table.

Xu Huizhi and Su Liang had no friendship, but they knew each other to a certain extent through Zhou Yuan.

him at the moment.

He had no right to refuse Su Liang at all, so he had no choice but to nod and sit opposite Su Liang.

Su Liang filled both of their glasses and said, "Brother Zixiong is a good man! We met in the autumn of the fourth year of Qingli. At that time, the admonishment atmosphere in Taiwan was dirty, and many admonishers in Taiwan wanted to be promoted through impeachment. There was rumors that they were going to do something. , something comes out of nothing, only brother Zixiong does not fight or grab, it seems ordinary, but in fact it contains great wisdom..."

"Over the years, Brother Zixiong has worked hard in Taijian without complaint. He is the only one who can do trivial matters to everyone's satisfaction. Taijian has lost Brother Zixiong, which is really a huge loss for Taijian!"

……

Su Liang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then said: "Some things cannot be hidden."

After Su Liang said almost twenty sentences, Xu Huizhi said: Zixiong is indeed a loyal and kind person.

"You value the past over the present, stick to the old ways, stay in the same old ways, and still feel good about yourself. I thought people like you had been eliminated by the officialdom, but I didn't expect that people like you still exist!"

"Then...is it not good to reform the imperial examination system? Isn't the Three Examinations Method bad? Why do you want to go against the imperial court?" Su Liang looked into Xu Huizhi's eyes and asked.

"In the past three days, Bachelor Bao and I examined some students and masters in the Imperial College and found something strange."

Su Liang was talking to himself, his eyes quickly turning red.

"Of course things have gotten better!" Xu Huizhi said without thinking.

Immediately, Su Liang looked at Xu Huizhi.

"You are so stubborn, probably because you want to get a chance to leave a name in history. Zhou Zhengyan's death must have something to do with you! Have you ever thought that maybe you can't leave a name in history, but you will be infamy for thousands of years!"

"Su Si Jian, what do you mean by this? When did I sing the opposite tune?"

"First of all, the students here still attach great importance to poems and poems. On the surface, poems and poems are not included in the assessment scope, but in fact, submitting poems and poems to the masters in private can improve their grades. This is the students' responsibility. Consensus! I found a lot of poems in front of the writing desks of many masters."

"Xu Jiancheng, do you think the Song Dynasty has changed for the better compared to the whole Song Dynasty before the Reform?"

"Xu Jiancheng, it should be all your fault that these masters and students have become like this!"

"In addition, most of the masters in the Imperial College are your students. From the examination papers they reviewed, I can see that in their eyes, excellent strategies are not unconventional or different, but can follow the themes they teach. Only by thinking and writing can you get good results.”

"Secondly, when the masters here teach policy theory, they emphasize form, traditional Confucianism, and the use of classics, and oppose innovation. Everyone's policy theory articles still quote Confucian articles, and there is no reference to any official of the Reform Department. In a word, this move is extremely abnormal and completely contrary to the teaching policy promoted by the imperial court."

He raised his glass, clinked it with Xu Huizhi, drank it all in one gulp, and then filled it up again.

In order to leave a name in history, they can do anything.

The biggest temptation for literati is not money or beauty, but leaving a name in history.

"If my prediction is correct, the entire Nanjing Imperial College is cultivating students according to your ideas, not according to the imperial court's policies."

There was a murderous look in Su Liang's eyes.

Xu Hui was stunned.

What Su Liang and Bao Zheng guessed was——

Xu Huizhi ignored the new laws of the court and cultivated students in his own way.

After Zhou Yuan found out, he gave him advice, but the other party didn't listen. If Zhou Yuan makes this matter public, the entire Nanjing Imperial College will be implicated, and many innocent people will lose their future.

Xu Huizhi knew that Zhou Yuan was kind-hearted, so he must have said some coaxing words to him. Zhou Yuan did not want to cause too much harm, but he was unable to make a choice, so he chose to commit suicide.

Of course, Su Liang also had some doubts.

For example, why did he target the sons of the poor and why did he not report his thoughts to the court?

Xu Huizhi's lips trembled. After taking a sip of wine, he stood up and suddenly laughed wildly.

And now, outside the door.

Wu Yu, Bao Zheng, Zhang Maoze, Sun Sheng and others were standing outside. As long as Su Liang shouted, they would rush in immediately.

"Hahahaha... Su Liang, you are really smart!" "That's right! I am using my own method to cultivate useful talents for the court. Is what I am doing wrong?"

When Xu Huizhi was studying at the Nanjing Imperial Academy or Yingtianfu Mansion, he served as the Prime Minister.

Most of the masters below were his students, and they did not dare to go against the master's teachings or disobey his orders.

"The abolition of poetry and poetry in the imperial examination means the abolition of tradition and the forgetfulness of ancestors! Only examining policy theory and being unconventional will only make future young people enjoy the limelight and ignore Confucian classics. The reforms throughout the Song Dynasty seemed to make the country strong and the people rich, but But he has tampered with the rules of our Song Dynasty.”

"Nowadays, who dares to mention the laws of the ancestors, who dares to mention the punishment of being a doctor, and even Wang Anshi said that he is not afraid of changes in the sky. How can he be a gentleman if he is not even afraid of the sky? That is a beast! Such a person Being an official is actually a huge loss to our government..."

Su Liang did not expect that Xu Huizhi's resentment towards the Song Dynasty's political reform would be so great.

"Xu Jiancheng, if you have any resentment, you can report it to the court. Why do you keep it in your heart?"

"Reflect? Will you listen to my feedback?"

"Two years ago, I wrote to Zhou Zixiong all my thoughts, telling him that the Reform Department had become a small imperial court, telling him that Taiwan's remonstrance had exceeded its power, and telling him that the identity of scholars in the world had been destroyed by the reform. He called me The idea is a bit dangerous and he can’t accept it. Can you accept it?”

"Su Liang, I don't like you, I especially hate you!"

"How many court rules have you broken? Tai remonstrated not to interact with the prime minister in private. Did you, Su Liang, comply with it? He sent troops without orders and caused 8,000 casualties in Jiaozhi. Is this kind of behavior something that a scholar-bureaucrat can do..."

Xu Huizhi scolded Su Liang.

"You reformers seeking fame and wealth have forgotten the rules and ancestors. It is my duty to pick them up."

"I want to use the Imperial Academy of Nanjing to train officials for the Song Dynasty who are completely different from you. Everyone must be distinguished. I despise the children of the poor because they hope to change the fate of poverty by becoming officials, not for the Song Dynasty. The country is forever solid. This is the wrong starting point. People at the bottom of the society have poor family backgrounds and can only serve the people and not be officials, otherwise they must be corrupt officials!"

"In addition, the duty of a good official is to follow Confucian principles rather than being new and different. Ten years from now, if the students I train become prime ministers, I will tell the world that your methods of reform are all wrong! There are no ancestors The Song Dynasty cannot go far without rules!"

"What I want to do is to save the Song Dynasty from the fire and water. I can see further than all of you. Only by following my method can the life of the Song Dynasty be preserved. However, these reform measures of yours are all short-lived! "

At this moment, Xu Huizhi was in a state of near madness.

"The two nights that Zixiong and I were alone, we talked about this. I told him all my thoughts and ambitions and regarded him as a confidant, but he wanted to report me."

"I told him that he had known about this for a long time and was actually an accomplice. If he sabotaged my plan at this time, at least the Nanjing Imperial College would be demoted, all the masters and students would be severely punished, and at worst, the Song Dynasty would also be at the end of the road! I will implement His policy of selecting officials is the last hope of the Song Dynasty. I hope he will continue to conceal this matter, otherwise he will be an unkind and unjust person! "

"Zhou Zixiong has finally returned from his lost ways. The last thing he said to me was: Let me help him take care of his wife and children. I was puzzled at first, but I realized the next day that he had chosen to drown."

"I feel that although he has not walked on the right path, he still deserves admiration for supporting me with his life!"

"This...this madman who rebelled against Tiangang deserves to die!" Wu Yu said angrily.

Xu Huizhi's fallacy was more destructive than the bandits who robbed homes and homes.

He has harmed generations of people.

At this moment, a crisp voice came.

"Snapped!"

Su Liang slapped Xu Huizhi on the face, and the latter was knocked to the ground.

"People like you deserve to die. It's not worth it for Zixiong to drown himself for you!" Su Liang gritted his teeth and said.

Su Liang felt very regretful.

If he had had time to chat with Zhou Yuan more about Xu Huizhi, Zhou Yuan would not have chosen to drown between his friend's benevolence and his official duties.

Xu Huizhi collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Su Liang, you are a beggar and a sycophant who can only show off your eloquence. You are not qualified to be an official. You are the one who harmed Song Dynasty!"

"Do you dare to make a bet with me? If I lead the Nanjing Imperial College to develop for another ten years, I will definitely be able to cultivate a group of good officials for the court who are familiar with Confucianism and are loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"

By then, you will understand that I am not addicted to wine and sex, and I have never been greedy for ink. I am actually the most perfect person in the world. I deserve to be in the Ancestral Temple, and I can be recorded in the history! "

"I'll fuck you!"

Su Liang stepped on Xu Huizhi's face, and the latter fainted instantly.

Afterwards, Wu Yu, Bao Zheng and others rushed in.

Su Liang sat on a chair nearby, looking depressed. Zhou Yuan's death was so unfair and unworthy.
