Since you are so concerned about how long I can stay here, I will let you take a good look at it."

Zhao Huan glanced at Yan Chengxuan and ordered with a ferocious smile: "Yan Chengxuan was disobedient and disobeyed the emperor's favor. Ling Chi will be punished by the clan. The other nine tribes were sent to Feng Shengzhou to work as laborers, but they were not pardoned. In addition, Yan Chengxuan will be punished after Ling Chi.

His head is placed on top of the palace outside the city, and I will let him see how many days I can still sit there!"

"Hunjun! Hunjun! I, the Song Dynasty, have never sinned against anyone for speaking out, let alone killing a scholar-official!"

Seeing that the guards of the front office had surrounded him, Yan Chengxuan shouted crazily: "Child Zhao Huan! You disrespect the laws of our ancestors. You are a sinner, you are good at killing scholar-bureaucrats, and you are greedy and cruel. You will die soon! You will die soon!"

How can you meet my ancestors of the Song Dynasty!"

Seeing Yan Chengxuan being so crazy and scolding so loudly, all the ministers in the court lowered their heads to count the patterns on their boots. The officials who were standing next to Yan Chengxuan just now also took steps away from each other.

Yan Chengxuan was dragged out by the guards in front of the palace.

No one cares about Yan Chengxuan's life or death anymore.

For the ministers in the court, it is one thing to make a gesture to express their attitude, but it is another thing to threaten the officials with their own heads.

However, Zhao Huan had no intention of letting go of these officials who were standing with Yan Chengxuan. After glancing at these officials, he sneered and said: "Official people also treat public weapons as child's play. If you want to be an official, you can do it. Once you are dissatisfied, you can do it."

So I thought of retiring and returning home, and at the same time cursing the king. Is this the way you should be a minister?

Drag them out. Let them keep company with Yan Chengxuan, and then publish all the evil deeds of these people in the Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper. In addition, build a Pavilion of Exalting Evil in the hometown of these people to tell the world about the evil deeds of these thieves!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan ignored these officials who were either ashen-faced or frantically begging for mercy. Instead, he looked at the ministers in the court hall and said with a ferocious smile: "Who else!?"

The court finally became quiet, and no one jumped out to seek death again.

There are always some people who think that no matter what the scholar-officials are, even the rotten scholar-officials can resist the imperial power. However, in fact, this is just the wishful thinking of some people——

It's okay if you meet a shameless emperor like Song Renzong or an emperor with no real power in his hands, like Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Once you meet an emperor who has soldiers and money, all the officials will do nothing but obey orders and do things honestly.

, in fact, there is no other way!

For specific examples, please refer to Liu Yuan, the last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period——

Liu Yuan believed that as long as officials had families, they would not devote themselves to serving the country, so Liu Yuan stipulated that ministers who wanted to continue to serve as officials must first wave their swords from the palace, and even monks who wanted to become officials had to be cut off in order to respect them.

The results of it?

The result is that reality is even more ridiculous!

Isn’t it just two ounces of meat from the crotch? We, the scholars, don’t want it anymore! There is no such nonsense as saying that the skin and hair of the body are the responsibility of the parents, and that scholars should not be insulted. The scholars of the Southern Han Dynasty were just talking about it.

Cut off and become an official! The entire Southern Han Dynasty, from the prime minister to the county magistrate, are all eunuchs!

If Liu Yuan’s example is not enough as a reference, then you might as well refer to Hongwu Emperor Zhu Chongba——

Classmate Zhu Chongba had done it all, including shelling the Qinggong Building, peeling off straw, and working in shackles. But what did the literati and doctors at that time do?

The answer is that those who should wear shackles to work will still wear shackles to work. Even if they have to say goodbye to their parents, wives and children before going out to court every day, and be mentally prepared to never come back, there are still some people who are officials, and there are not those literati and doctors. Let's resign as a group or make some other stupid mistakes.

In contrast, you can refer to Li Er and Song Renzong——

Li Er can suffocate his own bird to death, and Song Renzong can be sprayed in the face by Bao Heizi, because Li Er and Song Renzong seek a clear name that can be remonstrated!

Therefore, the imperial power and the power of ministers are actually the same thing. If the emperor is hard, the ministers will be soft, and if the emperor is soft, the ministers will be hard. The idea that the entire court unites with one heart to fight against the imperial power can only exist in imagination - —

Didn't someone say that the same rice feeds hundreds of people? There is also a saying that it is difficult to reconcile people with different opinions. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

Zhao Huan has a knife in his hand. He has greatly improved the status of the military and provided sufficient food and salary. Those "Ban'er" who no longer want to return to the past and were scolded as thieves and joined the army naturally know who to follow. .

Zhao Huan still has a pen in his hand. If the entire Yushitai is under the control of Shen Hao of Zhao Huan's group, except for the four grids and eight methods that are constantly eliminating those useless chickens, a big newspaper like "Da Song Royal News" will The killing weapon was enough to give Zhao Huan a certain say.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Huan naturally did not worry about what tricks those literati could come up with.

Of course, giving a sweet date after a slap in the face has been the only method for imperial officials since ancient times. Zhao Huan, who has long been practicing this skill to a high level, immediately expressed that he would not only vigorously expand the social sciences, but also in the five years of Jingkang When the time comes, we will open another Enke program to expand the number of Taipei students admitted.

…

The development of things basically followed Zhao Huan's expectations, but it was far beyond the expectations of the literati -

Faced with the destruction of the statue of Jiang Taigong in Wusheng Temple, and the statues of Mencius, Xunzi, Han Feizi, Mozi and other sages entering the Confucian Temple, the common people did not show much excitement or indignation, and no one shouted that people's hearts are not ancient. Bullshit like the world is declining is like a trivial matter, and no one cares about it at all.

Even the scholars in the court, who were secretly looking forward to it, did not respond much. No one wrote any bloody words to remonstrate, and no one went to the Confucian Temple to cry. Those who should study are still studying, and those who should visit brothels are still visiting. Brothel.

On the contrary, the people, including scholars, applauded Zhao Huan's move loudly. Even a certain family in Shandong smiled and welcomed the statues of Mozi, Han Feizi and other sages into their own Confucian temple to enshrine them——

For those scholars among the people and scholars, Zhao Huan's move to vigorously expand social studies and expand the enrollment of Taipei students is an opportunity for scholars all over the world. Under this premise, it is not up to him who the officials are willing to let into the Confucian Temple and the Wu Temple. Is the old man happy? Even if he wants to enter the Confucian Temple to enjoy the offerings, everyone in the world will raise their hands and feet in approval!

As for a certain company in Shandong...

Yuan came to lower the Yuan, Qing came to lower the Qing. The saint in the family who could still receive electricity when the devils came had already practiced the art of kneeling. As long as he could keep the family's glory and wealth, he would lose it. What about the saint’s face?

So the end result is that everyone is happy.

The common people were happy that their children would have the opportunity to succeed in the future, the literati were happy to have more opportunities to become officials in the future, and Zhao Huan was also happy to have dug a big hole for Confucianism.
