Chapter Each has its own opinion
The little emperor did not mean to let everyone take the blame, which made everyone feel relieved, but they still dared not speak out in a rash way of dealing with this matter. After all, the matter was too wide, and Your Majesty did not express his attitude to deal with the "learning chaos", so that they could not take measures based on the matter. If the handling is inappropriate, even if Your Majesty will not pursue the matter, under the raging momentum, no one knows where the result will be.
Zhao Bing looked at everyone silently and knew their thoughts, because every time the study chaos would cause turmoil in the court, and the prime minister was more cautious in dealing with the study chaos. The reason why the Song Dynasty kept learning chaos was also an inevitable result of the right-literature policy. The promotion of learning in the Song Dynasty greatly improved the status of the official students, and the number of students increased unprecedentedly. Official students, especially the Tai students, inevitably became a powerful political force.
However, as Zhao Bing knew, the academic chaos in the Song Dynasty was still very different, and his political discussion style also changed. During the Northern Song Dynasty, most scholars were away from the government, criticized current ills in an independent tone and criticized people. Tai students wrote to me and expressed their political views simply. As the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty continued to aggravate, the young Tai students finally couldn't hold back.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong, when Cai Jing was in charge of the government and expelled Zhang Shangying, the students of the Taixue School wrote to complain about his grievances; when He Zhizhong replaced Cai Jing and became the prime minister, there were also Taixue students who went to the palace to write to write to talk about things. However, the political discussion at this time was mainly achieved through writing to write to write to others, but most of them were not successful and it was difficult to have a real impact. However, the invasion of foreign tribes made Taixue students stand up and began a famous large-scale submission of the palace to write to others in history between China and foreign countries.
When Qinzong ascended the throne, the Tai student wrote a letter to accuse Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, Zhu Xie, Wang Fu and Tong Guan as six thieves, and tried to commit crimes. In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers were in a state of power, and quickly invaded the Central Plains and surrounded Bian Jing. Under this situation, Qinzong listened to the words of Prime Minister Li Bangyan, dismissed Zhong Shidao and Li Gang, and discussed the peace.
When Chen Dong and three hundred Tai students heard about this, they went outside Xuande Gate to submit a petition, demanding the removal of Prime Minister Li Bangyan and the re-appointment of Li Gang and Zhong Shidao. The students' behavior won the sympathy and support of the people in the capital, and then "the military and civilians gathered tens of thousands of people unexpectedly." Tai students interfered in politics through student movements, which quickly led to the political discussion movement.
The angry students and the masses used tiles to knock Li Bangyan, the prime minister who had retreated from the court, and "Bangyan was driven away by a hurry." The emperor sent the inner servants to the emperor were not lucky enough to be "bringed to them". Qinzong swayed in the palace between armed suppression and surrender. After hearing that the imperial guards had contacted the petitioners in the square in front of Xuande Building and retreated, Qinzong urgently summoned Li Gang and Zhong Shidao and granted them official positions, and the petitioners gradually dispersed.
The Tai students led by Chen Dong succeeded in petitioning the letter. He made a precedent for student movement to intervene in politics and became an example admired by later generations. During the two Song dynasties, Tai students continued to write to discuss matters, and most of the Song court adopted a generous attitude. During the Xiaozong period, the Southern Song Dynasty gradually settled down due to the signing of the Longxing Peace Agreement.
Based on the situation, in the second year of Longxing, the court banned Tai students from the Yellow Bill. This was the first time that the court explicitly prohibited Tai students from the Yellow Bill, and Tai students answered the edict with their actions. On the day when the Yellow Bill was announced, 72 students including Tai students Zhang Guan and others buried in the letter, demanding that Prime Minister Tang Situi and others beheaded, and summoned Chen Kangbo and Hu Quan to help the big plan. The students' political discussion activities began to continue to develop under the ban of the court.
However, Zhao Bing believed that this was also a turning point in the chaos of learning. After the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, the economy became increasingly prosperous and the atmosphere of pleasure in society began to become popular. Many Tai students also began to move to subordinates or travel to and from officials. At this time, Tai students had lost their sense of independence, and their tone was getting heavier in the temple. In addition to criticizing people, they also paid attention to abstract political principles and specific political measures. In this kind of conflict, they even participated in party struggles.
The students of Tai students in the Southern Song Dynasty tended to be frequent. Almost every major political turmoil, Tai students intervened, and the number of people interviewed was quite considerable. Their status and changes in social atmosphere made many Tai students no longer interested in saving the nation's peril, and the dream of serving the country and avenging shame gradually disappeared. The Fuque wrote more about the gains and losses of their own small profits, resulting in the lack of rationality in their actions and unreasonable trouble, which ruined the reputation of the Taixue school and was criticized by historians, and their nature turned absent.
Of course, the influence of writing a letter depends on two factors. First, it is the influence of the political ecology, especially in the Gaozong Dynasty, when the monarchy became more dictatorial, the execution of Chen Dong was the first to prevent the literati and officials from the Song Dynasty. He joined forces with Qin Huijun and took two high-pressure measures: one was to expel all the well-known political opposition and the literati and officials suspected of the opposition from the court; the other was to establish a "pre-modern ideological rule method" called by later historians, and they did not let you speak at all.
This high-pressure policy has led to two serious consequences: one is that the vast majority of scholars no longer participate in political discussions; the other is that bureaucratic morality is generally declining within the system. Under this situation, although there are still students who write to talk about the matter, their targetedness is quite limited, and they can only scratch the surface of those minor issues without political sensitivity.
Even so, the effect of "the public opinion is a thunderous sound, the two learnings are thunderous, the emperor is weak to listen to it, and the prime minister bows his head and believes it" also encourages the vanity of Tai students. Some ruling ministers also saw this weakness of Tai students, so they learned to use Tai students' strategies to influence public opinion, making them a tool for the party to fight against differences. Therefore, under the current situation, Zhao Bing believes that Tai students have changed their flavor of interfering in politics, not only pros and cons, but only merits and no mistakes.
Zhao Bing comes from modern times and of course has different interpretations of this mass movement. Fuque's memorials have always been used as a means to resist tyranny and pursue freedom and justice, so he is not disgusted. Moreover, Fuque's advice reflects the scholars' adherence to justice in their minds. The scholars and officials who hold high positions regard rational arguments as their duty, and it is the duty of the ministers to persuade the emperor's faults.
However, sometimes the butt still determines the head, and scholars do not hesitate to fight to fulfill their reputation. However, they also reflect that they believe that etiquette and axioms are higher than the power of the emperor, and do not think that the emperor's authority is absolute. This threatens Zhao Bing's status. Of course, he also understands that Fuque's admonition, as a way of admonition for scholars, will not fundamentally deny the existence of the emperor.
Therefore, the struggle of Fuque and Advice has limited impact on the status of the emperor. However, the active intervention of the scholars in the country's political trends still weakened the emperor's tendency to act arbitrarily to a certain extent and his power was restricted. However, this also made Zhao Bing, who tasted the sweetness of power, feel challenged, and naturally felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it is still a pity that he could not enjoy the pleasure brought by power for two lifetimes, especially this kind of learning chaos that has nothing to do with justice...
Zhao Bing glanced at the prime ministers present. Wen Tianxiang was on his way back from Sichuan and Sichuan. As the prime minister, Lu Xiufu would not easily propose disposal opinions to avoid losing room for maneuver. Liu Fu and Ying Jieyan were already preparing to retire at the end of the year, so naturally they should also consider their reputation and make their integrity unsafe in the evening. Deng Guangjian, as the leader of the Censorate, would be impeached and despised by the scholars. The only ones left were Jiang Qi and Wang Yinglin, and they did not dare to speak out, after all, they would leave room for mediation for future rule.
"I think the advice raised by the Tai students is nonsense and cannot meet their requirements. If you don't listen to the advice, you can use it..." Zhao Bing saw that everyone had difficulties, so he could only be the evil one. At present, three brigades of imperial guards were arranged inside and outside Lin'an City. This was an armed force that was absolutely loyal to itself and could completely control the situation.
"Your Majesty, I think I can dissuade you again, and it is absolutely necessary!" Ying Jieyan interrupted his words without waiting for the emperor to "move troops".
"Your Majesty, what you said is right. Now is the critical moment of our court's peace talks with the Mongol Yuan. Once the court's methods are too aggressive, they may cause changes and be taken advantage of by the enemy." Liu Fu secretly felt a sweat. If His Majesty said the result just now, it would be difficult to deal with it. Fortunately, Ying Jieyan interrupted it and did not let the matter go to extremes.
"The advice raised by the Tai students can be said to be directed at me, criticizing the new policy, obstructing innovation, and even secretly engaging in secret with the enemy country. They respect themselves and wanted to control the government, but they have lost the concept of scholars as the country and the king, and have lost the qualification to become an official. If they do not make a decision today, someone will follow them in the future. If they bow their heads today, I may not be able to lift my head in the future." Zhao Bing said.
"Your Majesty said very well. These scholars have a high opinion of themselves. After reading some classics and history, they thought they could plan and guide the country. But they didn't know that they were full, so they should send them to the army, let them see the sufferings of the people, experience the bloody storms on the battlefield, and no longer talk nonsense!" Jiang Xu snorted coldly, expressing his support for the emperor.
"Don't be upset by Jiang Xiang. The Tai students are either the top scholars of the states in various places, the children of officials in Beijing, or the officials who are about to become officials. The aurora is touching, and not only the government and the country are shocked, but the whole country will be shocked, but people will also be panicked in the court." Liu Fu continued, "At the moment when Your Majesty wins the Northern Expedition, the Mongolian Yuan seeks peace, and the people return to their hearts, Your Majesty also wants to reset the court's structure. The critical moment of rest and recuperation with the people should not lose the good situation because of a moment of enthusiasm."
