The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 274

In fact, it stands to reason that this was all negotiated before, and there is nothing to discuss at all.

But since someone has brought it up, we still have to discuss it. The court of the Great Song Dynasty is relatively democratic.

If you think about it, it was all set up long ago. Since it was set up, there is no need to talk about it, but the emperor actually let these people discuss it here.

Even an emperor like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty who followed his advice like a stream would probably not condone his courtiers.

Zhao Xu saw this and felt that Zhao Kuangyin in history must also be a good emperor.

At least Zhao Xu felt that Zhao Kuangyin was no different than Li Shimin, and his father was really a humble emperor.

While Zhao Xu was thinking here, Zhao Kuangyin had already spoken:

"Guangyi has anything else to say. I will listen to what you want to say."

Zhao Kuangyin also couldn't give face to his younger brother, not to mention that he was his younger brother and his relatives.

This is not important, what is more important is that he is now the king of Jin, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, so I naturally want to give him face.

In the final analysis, this is not to give him face, but to maintain the dignity of the royal family, so sometimes it is not Zhao Guangyi's face but the Song Dynasty's face.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't know this, and he always thought that the eldest brother emperor loved him more, which also caused Zhao Guangyi to be domineering later.

"The emperor's ministers feel that these three adults are reasonable. These students are talents in all aspects of our Song Dynasty in the future. We must pay more attention to them."

"So the imperial court has decided to give some substantial help to these students and candidates. This is to care for them. Just as Master Dou Yi said, it is very correct. The imperial court has already reached a conclusion, so there is no need to discuss this matter again. It’s over, after seeing it, it can be implemented according to the previously established plan.”

As soon as he finished these words, some people who supported preferential treatment for candidates all supported what Zhao Guangyi said.

They also came here after studying hard for ten years. At that time, it was even more difficult for them in troubled times. Now they feel that these scholars should not be allowed to suffer like this again.

"Your Majesty, King Jin is right. The court has already made a decision, so why discuss it?"

"It's the emperor, this must be a final matter, what else can I say."

Those who speak are all supporters, and as for those who do not support, none of them are speaking now.

Even Li Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs who was the first to oppose it just now, did not speak, and he was puzzled in his heart.

Didn’t the king of Jin say this yesterday? We must oppose this matter, just to attack the authority of the emperor. If the emperor’s previous decisions can be overturned, of course it will be a blow to the emperor.

They didn't expect to bring up this matter, but Tao Gu said it yesterday while drunk.

He said that he would bring up this matter to His Majesty tomorrow morning, because many people have already come.

But it seems that the imperial court still has no clear attitude. Isn’t this anxious? Didn’t the imperial decree say that these students who took the scientific examination should be subsidized?
Why is there no sound now? Isn't this making the court lose its trust in the world, so Tao Gu said these words after drinking a few more glasses.

It happened to be heard by Zhao Guangyi, so he felt that he needed to make some noise in the court, so that people would know that he was also a person who should not be underestimated.

So he discussed with some of his loyal supporters, and they were against it anyway, and wanted to fight against the court.

Li Tao is his vanguard, so he stood up first, and besides, he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so it is okay to say that there is no money.

But he couldn't figure out why King Jin had changed his mind at this time. He really didn't understand, not to mention he didn't understand, even the person who discussed with Zhao Guangyi last night didn't understand.

"My lords, my lords, please be quiet, I haven't finished my words yet, why are you in a hurry?" Zhao Guangyi's voice was so loud that everyone could hear it.

Haven't finished talking yet?Speaking of what else to say on this topic, Li Tao and the others knew that the main event was coming.

"Guangyi, why do you have something else to say?" Zhao Kuangyin also felt that Zhao Guangyi was a little weird.

Didn't you say you agreed? Why do you still have something to say at this time? What else can you say?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I haven't finished what I want to say, Your Majesty and all the adults, please listen to what I have to say."

"What this king said just now is from the aspect of the imperial court's majesty, and it is also what the emperor can't break his promise."

"At the same time, it is also for the sake of the students in the world, and this is also for the future of my Song Dynasty."

What Zhao Guangyi said was normal and human, and what he said was approved by everyone.

While everyone was still secretly agreeing with Zhao Guangyi in their hearts, at this time Zhao Guangyi began to turn around.

"However, there are exceptions to everything, even this matter. My king now feels that what Mr. Li from the Ministry of Households said just now is correct. Now that the treasury is short of money, he can suggest canceling this matter."

"No!" He just finished speaking with a thunderous voice, which shocked everyone. This person is Wang Pu.

"Your Majesty lost his composure." Wang Pu immediately apologized to Zhao Kuangyin after reacting.

"It's okay, Prime Minister, please tell me your reasons." Zhao Kuangyin was always very generous to his courtiers, especially to these veterans.

"The old minister thinks this way. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, the students who participated in the scientific examination also know about this situation, so they can't change the decree."

"Otherwise, the hearts of students all over the world will be chilled. It will also make them lose confidence in the imperial court. They are the ones who insist that the imperial court will change from day to day, and they are not worthy of trust."

"If this is the case, if there is any new policy from the imperial court in the future, people in the world will believe that the imperial court does not have it. That will be even more detrimental to us, Your Majesty."

Wang Pu was already out of breath after saying this, and he seemed very tired. Looking at this old Wang Pu from the sidelines, he is really sincere for the country!

"Why didn't this king consider this? This king is also heartbroken. It is needless to say that those students have worked hard for ten years."

Zhao Guangyi can also act, and only a few tears were shed:

"But our treasury has no extra money to give to these students. It is reserved for emergencies. Otherwise, if the court has any urgent matters, it will be over."

What Zhao Guangyi said is that I also agree, but is it a special situation now? If the previous plan is still followed, the court will go bankrupt.

The first thing to say is that the court has no money, otherwise it would not be like this, no, which one is more important, the loss of credibility or the major affairs of the court, you have to choose the same.

Anyway, Zhao Guangyi was against it in the end, although he was against it for the sake of the court, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much here, would he?

Zhao Xu just listened to where they were arguing without saying a word. It's not time for him to speak yet.
