Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 189

Scholars in the south fought with scholars in the north, and the cause was in the Scholars Garden.

This year's examination is about to start, and a large number of scholars have entered Chang'an City. The court agreed to build a scholar's garden. It was originally a good thing, and the scholars also supported it.

But I never thought that the imperial court underestimated the number of scholars who came to Beijing, and the rooms in the Scholars Garden were not repaired enough, so who could live in it?Who can't live in it?That's something to pay attention to.

The scholars almost divided into two factions, the North and the South, and fought directly. At first, it was just a war of words. Although the court paid attention, it didn't care, but never thought that the war of words between the two sides would become more and more intense, and finally they would start a war of words. hand.

The fight was still in a small area yesterday, and there were only seven or eight people who did it, but I didn't expect that these seven or eight people would call their friends and friends at night, and they fought again in the evening. The battle expanded to dozens of people. After one night, the scholars from the north and the south After hearing what happened that night, then... hundreds of people fought directly on the street.

After Zhao Xin, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, learned about it, his head grew big, and he knew that he had exceeded his scope of authority. Without further ado, he hurried to find Zhang Jian, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to face the saint together.

Wang Mang's wisp of consciousness left in the doll can handle some simple affairs, but in the face of such complicated affairs, he is powerless, so he has to ask the deity for help.

After Wang Mang knew what happened in Chang'an, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood angrily.

Wang Mang has high hopes for this selection of scholars. On the one hand, this is a prosperous imperial court, which will help to improve the prestige of the court, or help improve Wang Mang's own prestige. Second, Wang Mang also wants to take this opportunity to select a group of capable officials. .

But now, before the selection of scholars started, all kinds of moths came out, and now there is a large-scale fighting between scholars, which is a shame to the court!
The six ministers, the Secretary of General Administration, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the chief officials of various departments in Dali Temple, the reform minister Shang Central, Zhongshu Lingchang Sun Wuji, Changan Ling Lin Guodong, Law Enforcement Bureau Chu Feng and other ministers have long been waiting outside the palace. As soon as Lan announced, they all ran over.

"The minister deserves to die for his crimes, and the minister begs His Majesty to come down!"

Looking at a group of ministers who kowtowed to plead guilty, Wang Mang said with a cold face: "Do you really think that I dare not commit crimes to you, and that's why you always ask me to commit crimes?"

"I don't dare to wait!" When the ministers heard that the script was wrong, they knew that the emperor was in a fit of anger, so they all lay down on the ground without saying a word.

However, Wang Mang didn't bother with them so much. Strength represents the right to speak. With strength, Wang Mang didn't have the heart to argue with these bastards, so he said directly: "Xin Zhao, tell me, what good things did your Ministry of Rites do? It caused the scholars to fight in Chang'an City."

Xin Zhao's face turned pale, hearing what the emperor meant, did he want the scholars to get into public fights?How can this work? Zhao Xin immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. The Ministry of Rites has long been aware of the fact that the scholars are fighting, and has copied and reported to the Secretary of Military Affairs and the Chang'an Order, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also there. Under the orders of my ministers, pay close attention to the movements of the scholars, what happened to the scholars from yesterday to now was first discovered and reported by the Ministry of Rites."

"Zhao Shangshu, don't talk nonsense. There are too many documents copied and reported to the Bingma Division every day. If your Ministry of Rites really regards this as an important matter, then you should write "urgent" on the document and stamp it with the seal of your Ministry of Rites. , or you, the Minister of Rites, will go to the Bing Ma Si personally." Wang Qinian, the Bing Ma Si, quit at that time, and Zhao Xin wanted to let him take the blame, so how can it be done.

Chang'an Order Lin Guodong also said: "The imperial court has a public opinion on the matter of examiners. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for leading the implementation of this matter. The division of duties of Chang'an County Government is very clear, it is to cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites just copied the matter. It was given to the Chang’an county government, but it didn’t come up with what to do? May I ask Zhao Shangshu, what do you want us to do?”

Xin Zhao was furious: "Do you want me to teach you what to do?"

"I want you to teach us." Wang Qinian and Lin Guodong said in unison.

"Shut up!" Wang Mang's words made the three of them shut up immediately, and then Wang Mang said coldly: "What I want is someone who can solve my problems for me, and someone who doesn't need to shirk responsibility. I'm going to fuck off!"

"Your servant deserves to die!" The three of Xin Zhao said in fright.

Wang Mang snorted, looked at Zhang Jian, and said with some anger: "Zhang Jian, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you are the official of the court, the head of all officials, although you are not the prime minister, you are no different from the prime minister. There are some things I know here It's a bit late, but you should have dealt with the things that I couldn't detect in time, but what are you doing?"

Zhang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, and the surrounding officials looked at Zhang Jian with complex expressions. The emperor's words were silent, and Zhang Jian had the power to be a prime minister.

It doesn't matter where you are, what matters is what power you have!
But after Wang Mang said these words, without waiting for Zhang Jian to open his mouth, he looked at Wang Qinian and said, "Is everyone in the Bingma Division ready?"

"I ordered all the troops early this morning. As long as Your Majesty gives orders, my men can appear anywhere in Chang'an City immediately." Wang Qinian said immediately.

"Very good." Wang Mang nodded, looked at Li Lan again and said, "Have Jin Yiwei found out who is the one who took the lead in making trouble?"

"The southern scholars are headed by Li Hui from Nanyang, and the northern scholars are headed by Chen Shi from Chang'an." Li Lan took out a booklet from his sleeve and said: "When I learned that there was a change in the Chang'an scholars, I immediately I ordered people to inquire about the matter, and after finding out that these two people were instigating behind the scenes, they then let people find out their family history, all of which are here. Please read it, Your Majesty!"

"You don't need Yulan!" Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Since you have inquired about the affairs of these two people clearly, the movements of these two people must be under the control of Jin Yiwei. Catch them!"

All the ministers looked at each other, and Zhao Xin shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't, scholars are role models for the world to learn from, and you can't arrest them randomly. If you arrest them, you may not only be unable to control the situation, but it will also make the situation worse!"

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Wang Mang glanced at Zhao Xin coldly, and hummed: "Scholars are role models for the world to learn from, that's true, and I admit it, but what I need are loyal and patriotic scholars. I don't need these scholars who cause trouble for the court."

All the ministers looked at Wang Mang with frightened expressions, the emperor's words were not only aimed at the scholars, but also at the ministers, even Zhang Jian, who had just revealed some joy in his heart, said solemnly at this moment: "Think twice, Your Majesty! "

"Hehe, since you all have to think twice and make a decision before making a move, then tell me what you plan to do?" Wang Mang looked at the ministers, but they didn't speak. They had a lot of means, but they really didn't dare to say anything. , or not dare to say, but dare not bear the responsibility after speaking.

Wang Mang looked at the ministers and snorted, then looked at Li Lan and said, "Li Lan, what are you still doing? Are you ignoring my words?"

"According to the order!"

Li Lan was shocked, turned around and left.
