After the generals left, Yelu Dashi called Tong Guan and asked, "King Zheng, how feasible do you think the King of Jin's plan is?"

Tong Guan was a little flattered and hurriedly replied, "The King of Jin's plan is very feasible." He paused for a moment and said, "But it's not urgent." He subconsciously looked at the door of the imperial account. Although King Yelu Kuang of Jin was not favored, for some reason, Tong Guan was a little afraid of him. He was left by Yelu Dashi alone to ask for his opinion on Yelu Kuang's advice. He was both excited and worried.

"I can't hurry? What does it mean?"

Tong Guan said carefully: "I have seen similar things when I was in the Southern Dynasties. If I impeached the ministers from the beginning, the officials would definitely not believe it. However, I always feel a little suspicious. At this time, if the political enemy is anxious to jump out and report the memorial, it is not known who will kill me. At this time, I have to be anxious. I will tell the official one thing today and tell the official another thing tomorrow, which is not related to the original suspicion of the official. Over time, the official’s suspicion becomes more and more serious, and instead hopes that the capable minister will come out to defeat the person. At this time, the official itself will express this meaning. At this time, the more I have to give up the official’s heart, and when the official’s will have decided, it will naturally come true." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and dared not look at it.

Yelu Dashi thought for a moment, was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled, "It seems that it is not easy to be a traitor."

This sentence scared Tong Guan to the point of breaking his heart and hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty clearly sees Wanli, but I dare not deceive him, so I just report it truthfully. Your Majesty, the minister yesterday was dead. Since surrendering to Your Majesty, I feel like I am reborn. The old slave is loyal to the Great Liao and His Majesty. How can I tell you? "

"Okay, okay." Yelu Dashi waved his hand. He looked at Tong Guan with a playful smile in his eyes. "The more treacherous minister of the Southern Dynasty, the more loyal minister of my Great Liao. The oranges in Huainan are citrus in Huainan, maybe this is the destiny of my Great Liao?" Tong Guan absolutely did not believe his joking tone. When it comes to destiny, he dared not argue, but Yelu Dashi said again: "One thing is surrendering to another thing. Zhao Qi is so terrifying in Xiangyang, maybe I have to rely on his royal brother to suppress it. But I heard that Zhao Ke is not very obedient now? Zheng Wang, what can you do to make Zhao Kexin look at me?"

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Before he knew it, Tong Guan's vest was already sweating. It was his job to monitor Zhao Ke and his followers. However, during this southern expedition, Yelu Dashi left Zhao Ke in the Liao army camp outside Bianliang, but took Tong Guan by his side. Whether it was a precaution or a heavy use, this alone made Tong Guan a little scared. He could not guess what Yelu Dashi meant to ask this question, so he could only lower his head and said, "Zhao, Zhao Ke is half-hearted, and most of it was instigated by the people around him.

." He thought about a few people and said, "The Empress Zhu is the daughter of Zhu Bona, the governor of Wuchang Army. His father resisted stubbornly in Zhuxianyi and was killed by the king's army. Maybe there is a bitch Zhu who is provoked by the slut. Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu and others, although they are obedient on the surface, are still quite hostile to our dynasty. The so-called "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. The old slave thinks that if these people are taken away and Zhao Ke is replaced by a group of ministers who are more loyal to our Liao Dynasty, it will probably have some influence on Zhao Ke."

Yelu Dashi thought for a moment and nodded, "The King of Zheng is right. However, the world is not yet determined, and I will use Zhao Zhifu and other old ministers of the Song Dynasty as signs to temporarily restrict him from meeting Zhao Ke. As for the Empress Zhu? Let Zhao Ke depose her by himself. In the future, the Daliao and the Dasong are together. I will instruct the Northern Court to select daughters from the Yelu clan and establish another queen for him."

Zhao Qi suddenly announced that Xiangyang was in office, which put a lot of pressure on Chen Dong. The preparations for the prefectures to elect a fake prime minister had to be accelerated. Recently, Ezhou has been very lively, with sixty or seventy prefectures and counties coming to Ezhou. These people are inevitably visiting each other. According to Huang Zhoushan, in order to get the ministers in the court to work together, the six ministers and other official positions were determined by the prime minister, and the interests of many people were involved. Therefore, the military commander office changed from the prefect's yamen was even more crowded. Chen Dong was caught in these exchanges and could not get rid of these people. After the busy social activities during the day, he handled political affairs at night. At dusk that day, someone suddenly reported that Mr. Huang Zhoushan was visiting. Chen Dong was overjoyed and ordered his servants to go and ask Zhao Xingde to go and talk to the mansion quickly, and then went outside the mansion to welcome Huang Jian in.

"When did Mr. Zhoushan arrive in Ezhou?" After sitting down, Chen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Chen had been interested in visiting Mr. Chen, but because of the complicated matters, he could not separate himself. Now Mr. Laodun is here to visit, which makes me feel ashamed."

Huang Jian looked at the hall arrangement and had a strange feeling about the upcoming election of the prime minister in Ezhou, as if his children suddenly grew up, but felt a little unfamiliar. In fact, he had arrived in Ezhou a few days ago, but he had been observing secretly, wanting to listen more and take a look at the situation in Ezhou. However, when he came to see Chen Dong this time, he was to donate his life.

After a while, the servant had already brewed new tea from Wuyishan, Fujian for guests and hosts. Although Chen Dong's family was wealthy, he used money everywhere after arriving in Ezhou and often paid for it from his pocket. He had no money to make ends meet. In order to be an example for all officials, he deliberately paid attention to frugality and self-serving. Therefore, if it were not for the visit of a noble man like Huang Jian, he would not have brought out such good tea to entertain him. After the two of them exchanged recent greetings, the topic turned to the current situation of the prime minister being elected in full swing.

"Shaoyang," Huang Jian looked clear and drank a sip of tea, frowned slightly, "Wang proposed that the country elects scholars through the imperial examination system, and the school elects the prime ministers of prefectures and counties, and has the right to supervise impeachment. The original intention is to combine the power of the wise men in the world to create a peaceful and prosperous era. However, Huang, who came over here, saw that many prefectures and counties donated students in the school, and even in some places, the number of donated students has exceeded the original number of scholars. In this way, the officials of prefectures, prime ministers, and even the future power to supervise impeachment seems to be something that is not entrusted?"

Huang Jian's words made Chen Dong a little embarrassed. In the prefectures and counties that honored the emperor and did not obey orders, not only did they open a gap for donating their lives, but also broke through the quota of county scholastics set by the imperial court during the Chongning period. The number of students in the rank of 50, 40, and 30, even some people suggested that when electing prime ministers, they should consider the size of the county. Small counties with fewer students can only be elected by one priest, while large counties with many students have three people participated in the election of prime ministers. In Chen Dong's eyes, the election of prime ministers has been extremely messy, and at this time, Huang Jian, a great scholar who advocated the system of public elections, came to him, which made him feel like he was caught on the spot by the victim.

After pondering for a while, Chen Dong decided to report the truth and sighed: "I will not hide it from Mr. Huang, the situation in front of me is easy to know and difficult to do. Now the Liao army is approaching, and the original treasury of the southeast prefectures and counties is extremely empty. To expel the northern barbarians, we have to recruit soldiers and raise soldiers, and to recruit soldiers and raise soldiers, we have to pay money and food. If we don't manage our finances by donating our lives, we are afraid that the people will be even more indifference."

Huang Jian shook his head and said, "In this way, local tyrants control prefectures and counties and implement the system of elections. It is not that wise men govern the world, but that tyrants and wealthy families govern the world. Most of these donations of students donate money to enter county schools are not to understand etiquette and morality, save the world and the people. They elect officials must be more favorable to wealthy families and powerful people, and even to eat fish and meat. They even treat donating their children and selecting officials as business. In this way, they are like selling official positions and titles in the Eastern Han Dynasty." His clear face showed a strong sense of worry.

"What the sir said is." Chen Dong felt guilty, not knowing that Huang Jianxiao did not know that the Li Society was also secretly sponsoring the poor scholars in the society to donate their students to school, explaining, "This is just a temporary solution. After expelling the Beilu and restoring the old mountains and rivers, the court will not lack money and food, so naturally it will cancel the donation system. But the current situation is so necessary. The younger generation thinks that the most urgent task is to expel the Beilu. A county school donating the student treasury can obtain 500 stagnants, which can raise ten soldiers, and a thousand donations can raise ten soldiers.

It doesn't take much money to understand the people..." He said this, and there was a light in his eyes, "I'm not hiding this false prime minister who takes charge of the situation. Chen is determined to take on this road. It's not easy to go, and Chen's personal criticism has been ignored. This move is not for personal fame, but for the world! After the world is peaceful, Chen should leave by himself, or let the knowledgeable people in the world choose another talent. He also hopes that Mr. Zhoushan will support his younger generation." After saying that, Chen Dong stood up and bowed deeply to Huang Jian.

Huang Jian's eyes were complicated and he sighed deeply. The current situation was of great importance with his reputation.

In the Yellow Crane Tower, a group of scholars from various prefectures and counties gathered at a banquet. The center of the discussion was still the candidate for the prime minister. Chen Dong was naturally the first one to be expected. Some people praised and appeased the two routes of Jingdong, and held Hou Huanyin behind the Liao thieves. Some people also felt that the current situation is turbulent and both civil and military, Zhao Xingde, who had just defeated the Liao army, was more suitable to be prime minister.

"Although Mr. Zhao Yuanzhi is good, he is not strict in his control. He is harassed by the prefectures and counties. The local area complains. It is inappropriate, not appropriate." Xu Guodong couldn't help but glar at the same time when someone muttered beside him. Ma Yuan hurriedly pulled his sleeve and advised: "Don't make trouble for this. At the critical moment, what good things can Mr. Zhao say?" Liu Wengu, Jia Yuanzhen and others also nodded and said yes.

At this time, someone else was beside him and said, "Chen Dong himself praised the Qingliu of Neo-Confucianism, but married the Bianliang Songji as his wife. It's really hypocritical. In my opinion, compared with Mr. Jingdong Hou, who is consistent in words and deeds, he is a complete villain." Someone next to him praised him and said, "Brother, he is really wise and has seen through the true face of this hypocrite at first glance."
