The loud sound of gongs and drums, the sound of anchoring down, and the sound of shouting horns and throwing cables, were also heard in the Lushunkou military port. The dock was full of people coming to welcome the great scholars of the Southern Dynasty. The leader was the future father of the Republic, and Wu Haogu, who was unwilling to be the emperor.

Wu Haogu is wearing Confucian uniform today, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head and a long sword hanging on his belt.

Murong Wangyou, Ma Renwang, Lu Haowen, Lu Benzhong, Zhang Zhifeng, Zhang Zhixing, Lin Lingzhi, Fan Zhiwen and other great scholars from the north surrounded by Wu Haogu, all of whom were Confucian uniforms and swords. They looked very reasonable!

The Southern Dynasty's Hongshu arrived at Lushunkou on a 7,500-stock passenger boat. This passenger boat was from Jingdong Shop City, Haizhou. It is the largest passenger boat operated on the coast of Jingdong Road under the Yuntai Academy on Yuzhou Island.

However, this large passenger boat is still a light boat in the surging East China Sea (Yellow Sea). The bumpy road is really not very good.

Li Gang and Mo Niangzi, who had been to the West, were not very good, but Su Hui, who had been teaching at the Yuntai Academy on Yuzhou Island for a long time, was also used to wandering at the sea and was not very seasick. However, Wu Haowen, who came from Kaifeng Prefecture, was a little bit out of the way, Hou Zhongliang and Yang Shi.

Especially Wu Haowen, who was so seasick that he cried. He stopped doing it before he could bypass the Shandong Peninsula (it should be called Jingdong Peninsula). He cried and wanted to go back to the land. It was only after Mo's guidance that he gritted his teeth and reached Lushunkou.

Now the boat was being helped by the two of them, and they looked like they were seriously ill. The person had lost weight a lot, but he looked much more handsome.

Wu Haogu on the dock saw his brother coming to Lushun, and he looked like he was dying. He was shocked and hurried forward to support him, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you here in Lushun?"

Wu Haogu thought his brother had escaped from Kaifeng Prefecture... Could it be that Zhao Ji, who was going to attack his relatives in Kaifeng Prefecture because he wanted to establish a republic?

Wu Haogu asked nervously: "Second brother, how about my father and third brother?"

"Ah," Wu Haowen was dizzy and didn't understand what Wu Haogu meant, "My father retired at the beginning of the year and was in good health, but he was a little fatter and he had nothing to do with it.

Third brother is good, he is good at studying and is known as a child prodigy in Qingcheng Primary School. He will definitely be a high school Jinshi in the future!"

"It's okay..." Wu Haogu breathed, "Second brother, how did you sneak out?"

slip?

Wu Haowen looked at Wu Haogu angrily, "It was the official who sent me here! He was very happy to learn that you defeated the million Liao soldiers and let Liaodong return to China. He sent me to congratulate you!

In addition, the official family also asked me to persuade you to establish a substitute for Liao, ascend the throne and become emperor in the north as soon as possible, and take away the legal system of the Northern Dynasties from the Khitans..."

"What?" Wu Haogu was shocked by Wu Haowen's words and stared at his younger brother with his eyes, "What did you say? Zhao, the official family wants me to ascend the throne in the north?"

He had known that someone would persuade him to enter, but he never expected that the person who led the way to enter was Zhao Ji, an official from the Song Dynasty!

Wu Haowen nodded with difficulty and said, "Brother, this is what the official family means. If you become emperor and serve as the queen of Liao, the two dynasties in the north and south will be together. Not only will they be brothers and never invade each other, but they will also become in-laws. Princess Qingde is about to go to the camp, and the righteous and brave ones are at the age of getting married. Why not just get married?"

This matter is causing trouble...

Wu Haogu was a little amused and crying for a while.

Li Gang, who was standing beside him, was stunned when he saw Wu Haogu, and also said a few words: "Mr. Yuntai (Wu Haogu's empirical school is also called Yuntai, so he has the title of Mr. Yuntai). For the sake of the people in the world and peace in all directions, you should ascend to the throne as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Li Gang bowed and bowed.

"Mr. Yuntai, please remember that the people of the world should be decreed as the emperor as soon as possible!"

"Mr. Yuntai, today's situation is that even if my father is resurrected, he will advise you to ascend the throne and become emperor..."

Su Dongpo's two sons also persuaded him to come in!

"Mr. Yuntai, you are the one who is responsible for the principles of heaven and righteousness, and rule the Northern Dynasties, which is what people want!"

"Yes, it is not a contradiction between being appointed as the king of heaven and being the king of heaven and being the king of heaven. Why should you give up your food because of choking and not ascend to the throne, so that the hearts of the world will be fluctuated for no reason?"

Well, Wu Haogu doesn't know what to say now. He clearly asked them to discuss the republic, but they all came to persuade them to join...

Why is the feudal monarchy so deeply rooted in people's hearts?

Wu Haogu could only shake his head, "You are here from afar, and you can discuss national affairs later. You should go to the inn to rest first."

...

The so-called Guanshi is actually a villa in Wuhao Ancient Lushun. It is located on a hill in the northwest of Lushunkou. It is almost the location of the 203 Highland. It is directly opposite the harbor. The summer is very cool and the scenery is good. It is indeed a good place to sit and talk about it.

After settled down from Hongru from the north, Wu Haogu did not ask his brother about Zhao Ji's meaning, but first found Li Gang.

"Boji, I didn't expect you to persuade you to come in."

"What? Can't I get the credit for persuading me?"

"You are baking me on the fire!"

"Bak on the fire? Even the officials of the Song Dynasty recognized it. What else should I be afraid of?"

"Why don't you understand? The country I established has sovereignty over the people!"

"How could it be with the people? Wen Lu Gong has a famous saying that it is to govern the world with scholars and officials, not with the people."

"Scholars and officials? In Yan and Liaodong, citizens are scholars and officials!"

"Oh? Does Mr. Yuntai have no ambition to unify the world? To unify the world, it is not enough to rely on samurai alone..."

"Isn't there any Yuntai Bachelor? They don't have to be strong in the Southern Dynasties as officials?"

In a quiet room facing the sea and with banquets, Wu Haogu and Li Gang knelt opposite each other. There were a short table in front of each other, and there were a few foods and drinks on the table, eating and chatting.

When Li Gang heard Wu Haogu mention the ability of the Yuntai Bachelor, he had to smile bitterly.

The ability of the Yuntai bachelor's in charge of affairs is of course far beyond that of traditional Confucian scholars. Even their ability to study is much stronger than that of traditional Confucian scholars.

"The Bachelor of Yuntai is a job," Li Gang shook his head, "The scholar-officials rule the world, this is different."

Li Gang's meaning is probably that the scholars and officials are "government officials" and the Yuntai Bachelor is "government officials". In Wu Haogu's system, there is also a distinction between "government officials" and "government officials". However, the Song Dynasty won government officials by imperial examinations. Wu Haogu's side selected officials by exams, and appointed government officials by Senate (Parliament) and government-led government.

Li Gang said: "The world is so big, where can the government find so many officials who can govern the country? There are so many Yuntai bachelors? And not everyone wants to be an official, right?"

The Bachelor of Yuntai is a general term. It is not only a graduate of Yuntai Academy, but also a graduate of the Knights College, Naval Academy, Police Inspection Academy, and the Yanshan Academy that was recently opened (I don’t know if it is the predecessor of Peking University or Tsinghua University?). They are all considered a Bachelor of Yuntai. As long as you obtain a graduation diploma, you can obtain citizenship.

With citizenship, they can apply for public office. And with the level of a bachelor's degree, isn't it like taking a public office like a fun thing?

However, most of the students who graduated from Yuntai Academy are unwilling to hold public offices because Tianjin's industry and commerce can provide them with a better way out, and after they obtain citizenship, they are not afraid of being bullied by low-level officials. Basically, only graduates from Yuntai Academy Law School are more keen to embark on official careers. However, most of the people they hold are positions related to justice or opportunities to become senior government officials.

For example, Su Luo (Su Dongpo's grandson and Su Guo's eldest son), who recently replaced Wu Zhizhang to study at the Knights Academy, became Wu Haogu's words and written by Guan Gou Jiyi, graduated from Yuzhou Yuntai Academy Law School.

Therefore, most of the officials under the Youzhou government are now held by citizens from the Knights and military families.

If Wu Haogu wanted to expand the Republic's sphere of influence to the entire Chinese world in the short term, he did not have enough officials to use it.

"And the imperial examinations are not for the purpose of selecting scholars," Li Gang drank a sip of wine. "Sir, should you understand? It's just a trick to cage wise men and make heroes in the world take over. Mr. may be disdainful, but the world is too big and it's not easy to govern. If there is no such set of emperor's mind, the law of the republic and citizens is used. I'm afraid that the heroes in the world will rise up and fight. How can the world be peaceful?"

"Bo Ji wouldn't want me to learn from Song Taizu, do you?" Wu Haogu looked at Li Gang and asked.

"It is not possible to learn from Song Taizu," Li Gang shook his head, "Mr. I cannot do without national citizens. Without them working hard, the world cannot be captured. But after taking over the world, the country cannot be stabilized. Mr. should win the world with national citizens, and then open the imperial examination to win the scholars and officials to safeguard the world."

Wu Haogu asked back: "What if I don't do this?"

Li Gang asked: "When will the world be safe?"

Wu Haogu just shook his head. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Song replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was the last time the Han dynasty was replaced in Chinese history.

There must be a reason for this situation! Perhaps the scholar-officials who were attracted by the imperial examination were the main force to prevent the change of the Han Dynasty?

Wu Haogu sighed lightly: "Whether the world can be safe does not depend on whether the Wu family can replace the Zhao family."

He said casually: "It depends on whether the citizens of the Republic can suppress Menggu, Jurchen, Khitan, Tatar, and other barbarians!
