"Brother Zhao, why do I feel strange today?" Chen Ji held it in the carriage for a long time and finally expressed his feelings.

"What does it feel strange?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile when he withdrew his gaze from the scenery along the way.

"You!" Chen Ji stared at Zhao Qi.

"I..." Zhao Qi pinched his chin and looked surprised, "Where did I blame me?"

"I always feel something is wrong when I run to Lingqiaotou to set up a stall today. You seem to be leaving for Duke Chongguo!" Chen Ji said hesitantly.

"Haha, I still saw it by Brother Chen!" Zhao Qi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I asked. Since the Qingyuan Mansion of Chongguo Gong, he would watch the dragon boat race near the Lingqiao Wharf of Sanjiangkou every Dragon Boat Festival. I did come specifically for him."

"Why is this?" Chen Ji opened his mouth wide.

"Because I need an opportunity to meet him, the court is now in chaos, and the Mongols are eyeing him. After Ding Daquan fell, the one who entered the center must be Chongguo Duke. Although Chongguo Duke is upright, the literati have too great temper. Nowadays, the Shilin no longer has the character of worrying about the world before worrying about the world and having fun in the world after the world, the voice and color, and the spirit and form are decadent. If this continues, the Song Dynasty is not far from the destruction of the country. I need to give them some warning and reminder to make them alert. I never expected that today I not only met Chongguo Duke, but also met Ye Mengding, and I am really lucky!"

"As it turns out, I only thought it was my illusion, but Brother Zhao's words just now did scare me. Ji Zi was ashamed of being able to talk so well in front of the two court officials, and even dared not say anything scared when sitting next to him!" Chen Ji said with a look of shame.

"As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. They all have two shoulders and one head. What's the point of being scary!" Zhao Qi curled his lips, and then recalled something and asked, "Mr. Xijian just said that he was the top scorer in the Luling Wentianxiang Palace Examination three years ago. You have seen him before. Are you familiar with him?"

"I'm not very familiar with it, Brother Zhao suddenly asked what this is for?" Chen Ji asked curiously.

"Just just curious!"

"Five years ago, Wen Tianxiang went to Guangzhou to find teachers and friends. At that time, I had just passed the provincial examination. It was the time to be full of ambitions. My mentor loved his talents deeply and invited him to have a discussion and tea taste. Although it was just a chat, my loyalty and courage in the world made me admire him. However, I was just one side. I heard again that he had already passed the first grade in the first grade, which also inspired my fighting spirit. It was the turn of the provincial examination once every three years, so I came with Brother Yao and vowed to be shortlisted for the third grade, but I never expected...ah~" Chen Ji sighed in shame.

"Brother Chen doesn't need to be mindful. Things in the world are unpredictable. Some things cannot be achieved by just learning. Although Wen Tianxiang has talent and ambitions, if he doesn't meet Wang Yinglin, he is afraid that this top scorer will not be his turn. Therefore, the success of any thing is indispensable. As long as Ding Daquan falls this time, and Duke Chong can successfully enter the Shufu, there is still a lot of potential for Brother Chen and Brother Yao in the provincial examination three years later. It is not too late to be named on the gold list!" Zhao Qi smiled and comforted.

"I'll just let Brother Zhao say that, but Brother Zhao is so sure that Ding Daquan will really fall so soon?" Chen Ji nodded a little sadly and asked.

"Don't worry, Ding Daquan will fall next year, because there are signs of this incident, and Brother Chen has also experienced it personally. Although Shilin is now declining, Ding Daquan treats the six gentlemen of the Imperial Academy and arresting and expelling tribute students. This has committed a big taboo. The fate of Han Tuozhou, the power prime minister, is a lesson from the past!"

"Han Tuozhou, is Brother Zhao talking about the six gentlemen of Qingyuan?" Chen Ji asked in surprise.

"Yes, Han Tuozhou is many times better than Ding Daquan. He insisted on the Northern Expedition to resist the Jin Dynasty and recover the Central Plains. He rehabilitated Yue Fei and posthumous titles and titles, and conquered the people's hearts to encourage the Song Dynasty. However, it was because of the suppression and expulsion of the six gentlemen of the Taixue School that many civil and military generals who supported him turned against him. The Shilin has fought since ancient times, and the officialdom has been intensified. However, it is not a wise move to attack the righteous and righteous Tai students. To put it bluntly, it is because he was too domineering and arrogant. Although he had the support of Emperor Ningzong, our Song Dynasty was a ruler and ministers to rule the world together. The emperor could not ignore Shilin's emotions and blindly indulge him. Without the support of civil and military generals, the court was a court that the court was not aware of the support of Emperor Ningzong.

It was just a empty air. Han Tuozhou's later Northern Expedition was very clear. Officials from all walks of life refused to take office, and the army in front of him was unwilling to obey his command. The court was short of generals and treacherous officials colluded with the Jin people, which led to a fierce Northern Expedition. Han Tuozhou naturally could not be spared. In fact, if the court could unite and break through the Jin Kingdom and recover the north, it was a pity that his approach shook the foundation of the Shilin and failed... The literati rebelled for ten years, but the literati had to seize the day. The students were passionate and ambitions. Unfortunately, they were all a group of keyboard warriors and trolls, and there was no hope of planning the country..."

On the bumpy carriage, Zhao Qi looked at the scenery shaking by the roadside, his face full of desolation.

Chen Ji's face was dull, and his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a big duck egg into it.

"Why, Brother Chen thinks what I said is wrong?" Zhao Qi curled his lips gently.

"Brother Zhao, what are keyboard warriors and squirts... squirts?" Chen Ji stammered.

"Keyboard warriors and trolls... Well, just like some poor and poor people who write poems and mock them, they only know how to talk about high-profile discussions, but they never reflect on whether they have done something that benefits the country and the people. On the contrary, no matter what others say and do, they will spit and ridicule and even viciously insult others for doing something wrong and doing something that is not good. Once someone accuses them, these people will attack them, create public opinion and spread rumors, and make many things that are originally beneficial to the country and the people end in vain, and make many people who want to serve the country and the people fearlessly and cannot display their talents. These people cannot do anything well, and will only mess up bad things..."

"Brother Zhao, you...you're so generalized. There are indeed many such villains, but the six gentlemen of Qingyuan are different from those of Chen Yizhong. They are really trying to make trouble for Zhao Ruyu and running for Ding Daquan's rebellion!" Chen Ji's face turned red and stammered.

"Yes, I admit that their starting point is good, and what I said is indeed a bit biased, but you have to admit that there are many people in the court and the folk scholars. Han Tuozhou did too much, but this was the case at that time. The theory advocated by Neo-Confucianists is actually useless to the country. The surrendered faction of the court's peace talks are almost all from Neo-Confucianism. Neo-Confucianism cannot save the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty wants to survive forever, we need to become barbaric.

Come on, it is necessary to be more barbaric than Liao, Jin and Mongolia. Only by using violence to control violence and using barbarians to control barbarians can there be hope. In the Three Hundred Years of the Song Dynasty, many people have not seen this truth clearly and are still advocating the principles of nature, morality, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness. However, will the Mongols tell us this? Now there are only half of the remaining mountains and rivers left in the Song Dynasty, but the Shilin is depressed and intrigue. This situation does not change, even if Ding Daquan falls, the Song Dynasty will be helpless... Have you read the Afang Palace Fu Brother Chen?"

"Natural... I have read it naturally, why did Brother Zhao suddenly mention this?"
