At the same time, the emperor was also worried that Liu Zongyuan would turn against him because of his close relationship with Gao Yue, so he asked his daughter Princess Lingxu to send a letter to Gao Yue quickly, asking Gao Yue to keep his promise and not join this public opinion war. No, join and join, but he wants to help me.

In the persimmon forest hall, the prince assured the central official who came to speak out: "Liu Zi is definitely not a person who ruins justice for his own benefit."

After seeing off the official, the prince asked Wang Shuwen and Wang Fu, whether Liu Zongyuan is in Weinan now?

"Yes, after I had entered Shangluo Mountain, I was chased by Mengde, and I temporarily stayed in Weinan to have acquaintance with Mengde and other friends."

"Come on Liu Zi quickly."

But after saying this, the prince obviously had additional eye contact with Wang Yi.

Wang Qi also responded with a "knowing" look full of details.

When the prince's envoy came to Weinan County, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were traveling to Shilou Mountain. Anyway, the position of county magistrate was just a springboard for Liu Yuxi, and there was not much specific and practical matters to work hard.

From the prince's envoy, Liu Zongyuan learned that he was about to be a member of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Jixian Academy, while Liu Yuxi was promoted to the prince's Xima and a bachelor of Chongwenguan.

At this point, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan immediately smelled the aura of war.

In Yanying's Palace, "Want to regain Liu Zongyuan's love to the fifth rank?"

The prime ministers did not expect that the emperor would make this request specifically.

For example, in the past, the emperor promoted Liu and Liu, and asked Hanlin scholars to draft an imperial edict, and even directly met these two people in Yanying Hall and then made a promise.

But now the bachelor's academy has been deposed, so the emperor had to ask the prime minister to discuss. The prime ministers nodded, and then the Zhongshu Sheren in the government made an imperial edict.

The emperor gave the reason that the scholar needed to explain the scriptures to me or the prince.

Although the prime ministers understood the emperor's true thoughts in their hearts, it was difficult to expose them due to the surface. Moreover, everyone reached an agreement to "take action afterwards" in advance, so they did not refuse.

No destruction, no establishment, no establishment, no destruction.

Soon, Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi suddenly became the fifth rank, and the capital was in an uproar. They all knew that these two were future upstarts.

In the Shilin Pavilion of Shaoyang Courtyard of Daming Palace, the emperor specially asked the Zhongguan to send a large number of gifts to Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi who came here. The two had been ordered by the Secretary of the Central Committee to try to create five essays and one poem in front of Youyintai Gate. They "passed smoothly" the test.

The emperor's gifts include: a pair of seal clothes, 30 pieces of fine silk produced in Suzhou, 35,000 yuan in hand, 30 pieces of Shu brocade in Double Ninth Festival, and 100 pieces of Shu brocade in advance on the morning of the first month of the next year, March 3, and September 9 this year's "Three Festivals Tour Rewards" totaling 100 coins. This is just money and silk, and there are also several "mouth fat" (lip balm made of lard) and "red snow bath beans" (ancient soap) obtained in winter.

This surprised Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi.

Meng Guangcheng, who came to give gifts, told them: "If the two scholars have temporary editors, and they also have tea, fruit, wine and dried wine." After that, Meng Guangcheng pointed to the confined gate of the Bachelor's Court and sighed to Liu. Liu said, "These are all the treatments of the Holy Lord to the Hanlin Bachelor's in the past. Who didn't know that Hanyuan was the place to store the prime minister? Unfortunately, it is abandoned now."

When he arrived at the Persimmon Forest Museum, Wang Shuwen asked Liu again, and Liu said: "Zihou will preach more to the Holy Lord from now on, and dreamed of continuing to preach to the prince from now on. Although there are no Hanlin scholars now, I still hope that the two of them can follow the story of "Wen Tree" and "Han Zhu".

"Your Majesty, your highness, treating us like this, is truly glorious from the sky and favoring you." The two of them hurriedly agreed.

The allusion of "Wen Shu" comes from Kong Guang, a censor of the Western Han Dynasty. When Kong Guang returned, his family asked him, and heard that there was a greenhouse in the emperor's palace, but he didn't know what trees were growing in the greenhouse. Kong Guang did not answer silently, saying that "there will never be missed"; and Han Zhu expressed that he asked Gu Zhen to have no party.

This requires Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi to keep the words and situations in the palace absolutely confidential.

When the prince turned out from behind the curtain and the two hurriedly confessed the ceremony, the prince directly raised the topic and asked Liu Zongyuan to write an article, saying that this was also the meaning of the Holy Lord.

It is to refute the view that the world can continue to implement feudal theory, and requires that under the county system, from the nine ranks, all the sage masters must be personally granted.

Then, on the desk, all kinds of precious food and drink were brought in endlessly.

In fact, Liu Zongyuan had been preparing for this for a long time. When he sat down and picked up his pen, his thoughts were like a spring, and his pen was like a dragon and a snake. Soon, a piece of article "The World Is Not to Become Feudal" was completed.

Wang Shuwen took it and looked at it first. He couldn't help but show an extremely respectful expression on his face, "Mr. Talent, Talent, Talent." He praised him. Even after he presented it to the prince sitting in the curtain, the prince exclaimed that it was a pity that there was no Hanlin Academy now. Otherwise, with Liu Zi's talent and knowledge, he would directly be the Hanlin Bachelor with the title of Yuanwailang, and Liu Zi would be the priest in the world in the future.

They are not polite, but they truly admire Liu Zongyuan's knowledge and talent.

Especially Wang Shuwen, he felt that Liu Zongyuan must be promoted to a higher level as soon as possible.

That night, after reading Liu Zongyuan's article, the emperor was very satisfied, "This is the real Jinshi!"

Three days later, Liu Zongyuan's article was copied into large font and hung grandly on the wall of Guangzhaifang. The officials and the people looked like blocked.

The public opinion war has officially begun!

In his article, Liu Zongyuan systematically and in detail refuted the article of "Han Shanzuo" and finally concluded that for the sake of peace and stability in the world, this county system is "unrevolutionary"!

For a time, Liu Zongyuan's articles were circulated by everyone in the capital, and there were even more fun. Of course, many of them were from Jinzouyuan. They copied dozens of copies and printed them overnight by some of the carving machines of the Jinzouyuan. After a few days, thousands of copies were posted all over the capital and even the counties in the capital. In the end, Fengxiang and Tonghuadu were affected.

"It depends on how Han Shanzuo is worth fighting?" People rolled up their sleeves and were most concerned about this issue.

However, Han Shanzuo did not disappoint. It should be known that behind this "virtual idol", there are the support of the three major Jinzou Academy.

Especially Liu Pi, the judge of the Jiannan shogunate who has entered Beijing, was the most active. He immediately presided over the leadership, allowing the pens who are well-off in the Jinzouyuan to gather ideas, splash ink, and call them "Han Shanzuo". He also wrote a counter-refutable article hanging on the wall of Chongrenfang.

As a result, in January, the public opinion circles in Daming Palace and the Zouyuan were coming and going, fighting each other, and fighting with each other.

Then more and more people participated: the candidates who came to Beijing to be selected, the officials waiting for Dongjiquan to be selected, even the literati, monks, and Taoist priests were involved.

The battle between counties and feudalism, the battle between Liu Zongyuan and Han Shanzuo was a big hit and shouting.

Everyone vaguely felt that this debate was actually a great struggle for public opinion and thoughts that the country was concerned.

The court could not hold back, and the prime ministers collectively advised the emperor, so they might as well set up a meeting in Qujiang, Chang'an City. Liu Zongyuan and Han Shanzuo argued in person and could not argue. Both I, Emperor Tang and the prime minister can listen.
