Chapter 168

Compared to Cai Jing's high profile, Jin Chongyue and others' reception was much more low-key.

I chose a quiet pavilion in the second-rate restaurant in Bianliang.

When Zhao Hao walked into the pavilion, there were not many people here, only a few three people. When Zhao Hao came in, they all stood up to greet him, with an expression of excitement.

From the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, from the second-rank minister of the Guanwen Hall, from the second-rank minister of the fourth-rank minister of the Wu Min.

These three people are representatives of the Qing sect in the court.

Although the Qingliu School was considered a faction, before the Jin people went south, they were almost uncompetitive in the court, and they could only survive in the cracks between Tong Guan and Cai Jing.

The Qingliu School truly rose strongly, and the Jin people went south. Song Qinzong Zhao Huan ascended the throne. Tai student Chen Dong wrote a letter to kill the six thieves. Li Gang, Zong Ze and others were pushed to the court, and the spring of the Qingliu School came.

However, Zhao Hao knew that the energy of the Qingliu School was more terrifying than that of any party in history.

Qingliu is the name of a political faction within the ruling class during the feudal dynasty of China. They comment on current affairs, submitted memorials, impeached ministers, accused eunuchs, advocated the rectification of discipline and discipline in the outside world.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tai students Guo Tai, Jia Biao, ministers Li Ying, Chen Fan and others joined forces to criticize the government, expose the crimes of the eunuch group, and set the lead in the Qing sect.

After that, the Qingliu Party members almost ran through the entire history. The more famous ones were the Qingliu school headed by the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, the former Qingliu school headed by Li Hongzao in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Houqing school headed by Weng Tongsu.

Although the Qing sects in history regarded themselves as loyal ministers and were also responsible for worrying about the country and the people, there were some who worked hard to save the country, and some also talked about ruining the country.

However, the Qingliu Party in history was basically not liked by the emperor, and most of them had little time to gain power in the court. However, outside the court, they almost occupied the folk mouthpieces for thousands of years, and even had many people who turned black and white.

Anyone who is not happy with the Qingliu Party will inevitably be hacked out by the Qingliu Party members, such as Yan Song; anyone who is with the Qingliu Party, even if they are corrupt and abused by the law, they will be beautified into tall and comprehensive characters, such as Xu Jie who is corrupt and abused by the law even more than Yan Song.

This is because most Qingliu Party members regard themselves as loyal and honest, honest and upright, and are deeply admired by scholars and literati throughout the world, especially poor scholars, and are often famous for their confrontation with the emperor. Therefore, scholars and literati throughout the world, especially those who claim to be talented, will all follow them, respect them, and use them as examples.

The power of the world is in the hands of the emperor and in the hands of powerful ministers, but the mouthpiece of public opinion is in the hands of the Qingliu Party for most of the time.

This is also the reason why Zhao Hao attaches importance to the Qingliu Party.

For Zhao Hao, what he needs most is not power, but reputation.

To put it bluntly, he has the system in his hands and is a royal family. And now the troubled times are about to arise, it is not difficult for him to put on a yellow robe, but it is extremely difficult to erase his reputation of being inauthentic. After all, hundreds of royal families within the three servers, according to the rules, even if Zhao Ji and dozens of his sons die, it is not his turn to Zhao Hao to take over.

The only way is to create momentum and create a wise and powerful light that is worried about the country and the people, and to let the people of the world come to a conclusion that Zhao Hao is not enough to save the Song Dynasty. At that time, as long as the opportunity comes, Zhao Hao can use his identity as a royal family to go to the position naturally without encountering too much resistance.

Otherwise, even if he wears a yellow robe, he will be facing a situation where civil strife and external troubles will be difficult to end.

In the pavilion, the dishes are also extremely simple.

A plate of imperial bone crispy fish, a plate of jerky meat, a bowl of tofu soup, a plate of fried eggs, a plate of fried cabbage, and a jar of daughter red.

Four officials of the fourth rank or above ordered only five dishes and one wine in the Song Dynasty, where the officials had extremely rich salaries. This is a strange thing.

Showing people with the image of thrift and thrift is a typical style of the Qingliu School.

Zhao Hao didn't care, so he greeted the three of them and sat down generously. The four of them occupied one side and talked about it. Although the dishes were simple, the daughter Hong was only five years old, but she also ate it deliciously.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was not visible at all, the three of them became more and more awe-inspiring, and their eyes were full of respect. After all, although the other party's official position was small, he was a royal family born with a golden key in his mouth. He was born in the Zhao Mansion of Jiangning, which was rich enough to rival a country. He has always been pampered. Now this time it is a simple meal, and he eats with relish. He has no pretentious appearance at all, but it is extremely difficult.

After drinking for three rounds, the old man Jin Chongyue's face turned red and his mouth became red, and his voice became louder and louder.

Bang ~

The old man suddenly raised his neck, drank a glass of wine, then slapped the table suddenly, and said excitedly: "Now, our Song Dynasty seems to be peaceful all over the world, but in fact, the administration is corrupt, the people are living in poverty, and there are troubles in the north and the clouds are not restored. However, the treacherous ministers and flatterers are in power in the current dynasty, and since Doctor Zhao is a member of the Song Dynasty, wouldn't he regret it?"

Zhao Hao was stunned and was about to answer, Xu Churen, who was begging him to answer: "Jin Gong is a man. When Doctor Zhao was in Jiangnan, he dispersed money and grain to help the people. When he was in Jiangnan, he heard that Doctor Zhao was good and respected him. Now that Doctor Zhao had just entered Bianliang, he beat Gao Yanei on the street. The people praised him for being proud of him, and sacrificed himself to protect him. He eliminated evil thieves and Gao Qiu in the vegetable market. He should be a model for us and a leader among the royal family. How can he blame him?"

Zhao Hao's face was silent, but he just smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not to hide it. At the end of the day, I went to a banquet for my husband on the Bian River. Prince Yun and his husband were dating in front of the Yuewang Tower..."

The three of them were singing and about to continue talking, but after hearing what Zhao Hao said, his face changed drastically.

Old man Jin Chongyue was impatient, his face became redder and pointed at Zhao Hao and said angrily: "So, I misread Doctor Zhao!"

Zhao Hao laughed loudly, laughing without saying a word.

Xu Churen understood and laughed and said, "Since the young master went to the banquet at Wangyue Tower, if he was a member of the crowd, how could he come here again tonight?"

He did not call him Doctor Zhao Hao, but called him a young master, which seemed extremely intimate.

Jin Chongyue and Wu Min saw that Zhao Hao's expression had already expressed their consent, and they also laughed loudly. The three of them raised their glasses together and toasted Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao did not say too much, the three of them were already in harmony and were free from being restricted when chatting. The three middle-aged and old angry young men had a strong sense of guidance and inspiration for their writing.

Zhao Hao knew that Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen and others were truly loyal ministers, and in history they were both the main war faction with Li Gang, Zongze and others, and they were quite respectful.

What's more, he needs the mouthpiece of Qingliu School to build momentum for himself.

When he talked about the rise, Wu Min smiled bitterly: "Although the young master is loyal and upright, he is dedicated to the country and has gained the trust of the official family, but he is alone and can't support him..."

Xu Churen continued: "I don't know what the head of the three yamen means this time? You must know that the official's intention seems to be all about the young master's words. You must be careful."

Zhao Hao didn't know what the three old foxes meant, and smiled and said, "Although Li Boji is a pillar of the country, the government is not happy about it. Besides, his current rank is too low. If he is the leader of the three yamen, it is difficult to convince the public. I recommend one person and I will take this great responsibility, and the government should also accept it."

The three of them looked stunned and asked in confusion: "I wonder who the young master wants to recommend?"

Zhao Hao smiled, stretched out his finger, dipped it in wine, and wrote three big words on the table.

The three of them stared at the three words tightly. After carefully reading them, they looked relieved on their faces.

Old man Jin Chongyue was even more convinced and sighed: "Although the young master first entered the court, he knew the ministers in the court well. This person is indeed more suitable than Li Boji. I admire him!"

Suddenly, the three of them looked at each other, stood up together, bowed to Zhao Hao: "Now the court is extremely corrupt. Fortunately, the young master is wise and deeply trusted by the official family. I hope the young master will do his best to do the country today. We hope that the young master will follow the leader of the young master, eliminate evil and evil, and return the bright world of the Song Dynasty. Even if we die, we will have no regrets!"

Zhao Hao finally let out a long sigh in his heart.

The Qingliu Party is the party he most wants to win over. Now that he has surrendered to himself, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort for the grand career that will be ahead in a certain period of time.

As for the long run, the policy of emphasizing culture and neglecting military affairs will sooner or later change, and the policy of literati and official sharing with officials will not be able to continue for a long time. He, Zhao Hao, will sooner or later, touch the interests of literati and officials. It is unknown whether the Qingliu Party will still be his steadfast supporter. But by then, he no longer needs to deliberately win over anyone.

...

The next morning court.

Everyone still arrived at the Chuigong Hall on time, arranged in order, waiting for the arrival of the official family.

However, the atmosphere in the court became more strange and solemn.

If nothing unexpected happens, the battle between the three yamen will be announced today and the outcome will be decided.

Cai Jing and others no longer expect Zhao Hao, but they did not sit back and wait for death without any countermeasures. As for Tong Guan's party, they originally listed Zhao Hao as a member of the party, and secretly inquired that Zhao Hao did not give Cai Jing and others no face at all during the banquet at the Moon Tower. They felt even more at ease and were ready to make a last try.

As footsteps sounded, Zhao Ji came up high, surrounded by Liang Shicheng and others and ascended to the dragon throne.

After some etiquette, Liang Shicheng still said that the words that remained unchanged for many years, "You have to report the book and leave the court if you have nothing to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had already stepped forward and took the lead in mentioning the matter of the head of the three yamen, and recommended Liu Yanqing as his post again.

Before Tang Ke finished speaking, Zhao Ji waved his hand and interrupted him. Looking at the third-rank official's sequence, he asked loudly: "Where is Zhao Hao?"

Zhao Hao had already prepared this time, slowly stepped out of the line and said respectfully: "I am here!"

Zhao Ji asked, "The leader of the three yamen, have you ever thought about who to recommend?"

In an instant, hundreds of eyes looked at Zhao Hao in the entire court, and the whole audience was silent.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath, tidied up his official robe, and then held the long wings on the custodial cap. Then he replied solemnly: "I recommend the famous general who pacified Xixia, the deputy commander of the guards' personal army, and the Yingdao Army Chengxuan envoy Zhong Yishu as the leader of the three imperial guards. I hope the official family will be grateful!"

As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.
