In fact, whether it is promoting literature and suppressing martial arts or jealous of colleagues, people with a little political mind know that it is a need for political struggle, and the root cause is that the boss must be reliable. For example, Zhang Shi from the Emperor's dynasty of Wang Shaozhezong was supported by the emperor, so he was able to show his talents and end up in a good life. Liu Zhixue followed the young emperor for many years and firmly believed that the young emperor would not do anything to remove the mill and kill the donkey, and there was also a time when the donkey was needed to pull the mill.

However, Liu Zhixue was still wary of the civil officials in the court. Although they had restrained themselves under the suppression of the young emperor in recent years, he also understood that the open and secret struggles between civil and military officials had not stopped, but were more obscure and lacked the appropriate opportunity. Once there was an excuse, those people would usually jump out of the group to attack them. They could not do anything to the young emperor, but could attack their own faults.

Of course, everyone understood the truth, so they agreed with Liu Zhixue's proposal. They first reported to Your Majesty truthfully, and they could avoid being deceived by the emperor, and they could also take the opportunity to apologize for the punishment and reduce the punishment. At the same time, they could also prepare the young emperor for the attacks of the ministers and avoid being suddenly caught in a passive state. As for the court's "Shouzhou Victory" later than Your Majesty, there were 10,000 excuses to make excuses.

After reaching a consensus, the generals of the Second Army drafted the Battle Report of the Little Emperor, and reported in detail the difficulties faced by the siege, the preparations for the pre-battle, the formulation of combat plans, and the unexpected consequences caused by the bombing of the city, and a series of aftermath measures taken after the war were all stated. At the same time, they expressed deep guilt for causing major casualties in the people and requested punishment.

The good news to the court should naturally be more simple, and the content should be avoided and the more achievements were made, and the losses caused were mentioned in detail. However, the forgetfulness of the 60,000 people still seemed particularly dazzling. Under Liu Zhixue's insistence, the reports were signed by him and Ma Ying, two military and political leaders. In addition to protecting the generals, he also understood that the joint signature of the generals was "threatening". He was worried that the little emperor would be disgusted, and the matter would not be beautiful.

After staying in Shouzhou for three days, the Second Army continued to advance north as planned, crossed the Wohe River to Suzhou to meet with the vanguard troops, preparing to seize Fuli. The subsequent advance was extremely smooth. Often when the cannon sounded, the enemy fled one after another, and they were extremely afraid of the cannons and rarely fought. After inquiring, they found out that the fire in Shouzhou also had unexpected results. The fleeing crowd spread the tragic situation after the war in Shouzhou to all directions, and in addition to the terrifying fire scene, there were many legendary colors.

Shouzhou was once the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to metaphysics, the place where the capital was established had dragon veins, so that the earth could be outstanding. In the fire, the "fire dragon" appeared in Shouzhou City. In fact, modern people understand that it was because of the whirlwind caused by the flow of hot and cold air after the fire, which is commonly known as the tornado. However, the ancients did not understand that the Song army's artillery can not only open mountains and crack stones, but also kill gods and demons. The dragon protecting Shouzhou was injured by the Song army's artillery fire and flew away, which led to the city being destroyed by the fire...

Although Xuyi City is temporarily far away from the war, it is still filled with a tense atmosphere. Daily official documents and war reports from various battlefields gather here, and they are transformed into decrees and distributed from here to everywhere. Zhao Bing is still very busy. In addition to reviewing memorials, he also needs to coordinate the progress of the army and urge the court to speed up the delivery of food, grass, weapons, and materials to the front line, mobilize troops, and make material reserves for the next battle.

There are naturally disharmonious things in the memorials like snow. Some small reporters have suggestions and some people have reached out to officials in the name of working for the country. Anyway, it is boring that makes Zhao Bing's already heavy work before the case is even worse. He has to spend time to deal with these bullshit matters, otherwise someone will say that you do not value talents and do not like to accept advice.

Zhao Bing also knew that the acceptance of advice had been institutionalized since the Tang Dynasty, and it became a symbol of whether the emperor was stupid and wise. From his heart, he was not disgusted with advice, which was also an important channel for understanding the social situation, listening to public opinion and discovering talents. However, some people regarded this channel as a ladder for promotion, a tool to crack down on dissidents, and took advantage of the emperor's "favorable face" and had to pay attention to his nonsense. And this was all for the "clear talk" that literati had been happy for thousands of years.

Modern people are familiar with the saying "clear talk" by a simple talk. So, what is "clear talk"? Why did ancient intellectuals, especially the bureaucratic and literati class, like "clear talk"?

Qingtan covers a wide range of meanings, and it often changes in the long river of history due to time and place. However, there are two characteristics that remain unchanged. First, Qingtan corresponds to vulgar talk, which it must talk about noble topics. For example, where we usually like to discuss, and which horse Wang Laowu has bought, this kind of vulgar thing must be excluded from Qingtan talk.

Second, people who talk in a simple conversation must be cultural people. Like workers, peasants and soldiers, they care about agriculture and sericulture in the four seasons, land defense, and these are also civil affairs and cannot participate in a simple conversation. The content of the simple conversation mainly talks about academics. Because ancient Chinese academics did not have natural sciences and did not talk about experiments, the improvement of academics mainly depends on communication.

This situation changed during the Jin Dynasty. Because the family monopolized the advancement level at that time, so-called "there are no poor families at the top, and no nobles at the bottom". First, it is not necessary to look at work performance, and second, there is no need to take the imperial examination at that time. As long as the children of the scholars are born with the capital to be a high-ranking official, there is naturally no need to care about practical things. In addition, the children of the family are born with superiority, so they are even more reluctant to talk about secular topics. National economy and people's livelihood, natural physics, military politics, etc. are all regarded as something to reduce their identity. On the contrary, if anyone can "talk" and can make people faint, he will be regarded as having a high level.

So at that time, we were in court and in the wild, and no one cared about serious matters. Some county officials even closed their doors and drank and talked in a closed door when they took office. They didn't know the local population or the taxes for several years. This was regarded as "high and unrestrained" at that time, and they were proud of it. Everyone was rushing to imitate. Even after a long time, there were still people who kept admiring it, and there was a poem that "poor Eastern Jin Dynasty's most romantic". This is the origin of what later generations said, "Quiet talks are the most romantic in the country."

Qingtan also had an inseparable brother, which was Qingtan. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, foreign tribes' sweeping of the Central Plains and warlords' melee destroyed the social foundation of the aristocratic families. The imperial examinations were established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it also broke the monopoly of the scholars' family on personnel affairs. Intellectuals from poor families could participate in politics, and officials had to conduct regular assessments, so Qingtan had to die. The one who replaced it was Qingtan.

Unlike Qingshu, Qingshu is about discussing politics and targeting the politics and people at that time. Qingshu is the twin brother of Qingshu. The fate of ancient intellectuals was always closely related to politics, so as to talk, we naturally inevitably look down on current affairs and evaluate people. As early as the end of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were in power and the officialdom became a shopping mall. The literati in the wild had no way to advance, and they hated the corruption of the political situation, so they "each man was inspiring and the sermons discussed the situation in a vassal manner."

From this we can see that Qingyi was the patent of the opposition at the beginning. Because he was both concerned and unable to get involved, he could only "discuss". Of course, not everyone could discuss Qingyi. These "commons" were all so-called Qingliu, that is, pure cultural people. No matter how rich the wealthy businessman was, he was not qualified to discuss it. Later, military officers who did not rely on the imperial examinations to enter the official career, or who climbed up with one sword and one shot on the battlefield were not considered Qingliu.

Qingbian is obviously a big step forward compared to Qingbian. It is based on the philosophy of worldly affairs. Due to the Qingbian style, they did not fear the powerful and advocated integrity and justice, and exposed corrupt officials. If there were different schools and theories in the Jin Dynasty, then since the Song Dynasty, the moral values ​​and values ​​of scholars have been highly unified. Their Qingbian often speaks in the same voice, and they are able to cut off gold.

At that time, bureaucrats from the literati class who were born in the literati class were all influenced by them, regardless of whether they were in the court or in the opposition. Qing Dynasty had become the direction of political public opinion and the weather vane of current affairs, which made rulers pay attention to it, because behind it was the soil of the entire feudal bureaucracy - the literati class.

Of course, there is a distinction between mainstream culture and non-mainstream culture in any era. On the other hand, Zhao Bing also thought that it was not a bad thing to like to study current affairs, but once it was out of reality and nonsense, it would be a disaster. Because they always treat political affairs and people from a moral perspective. The discussion of government affairs also first seized the highest point of morality without paying attention to quantitative standards. In fact, this is not surprising. Confucianism is originally a moral philosophy and the foundation of their establishment. However, the prevalence of Qing Notice is so prevalent, and Zhao Bing thought it was difficult to say what it would help the country and the people.

Take the emperors of the Song Dynasty as an example. There are many people who want to do something. Anyone who wants to do some reforms always encounter strong resistance from Qingbian. Many reforms to strengthen national defense and improve people's livelihood cannot be implemented. The Southern Song Dynasty has been in peace with the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the Northern Expedition has been difficult to succeed. In addition to the reasons for the corruption of the emperor's incompetent government affairs, it can be said that the Qingliushi had to bear half of the responsibility. It can be said that the Qingbian was in trouble and failed.

In Zhao Bing's memory, when Qingtan reached its peak, it should have been in the Ming Dynasty. But he felt that Qingtan was becoming more and more intense at the moment. He felt that he had not done anything that was angry with the heavens and resentful, and hurt the heavens and the truth, but the opposition continued. He had also reflected on this, and he thought that his series of reforms had moved some scholars' cheese, which was thus resisted openly and secretly.
