I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 141 Don’t mess with both the court and the court, big firecrackers and small firecrackers (please vote for me)
That night.

The news spread that Su Liang was scolding the students in the Imperial College on the street.

The bookshop owners who produced the tabloids ordered copywriters to copy them overnight.

At present, as long as there is news about Su Liang, the tabloids are very popular and there is no shortage of supply.

Liu Changer is even more interesting.

He specifically found Su Liang and handed Su Liang the recorded speech, hoping that Su Liang would correct and polish it to ensure that the expression was accurate.

……

Early the next morning.

Tabloids transcribed with Su Liang's words scolding students spread all over Bianjing like snowflakes.

The students of the Imperial College have never suffered such injustice.

They used to curse people.

But this time, Su Liang's words were not inappropriate at all.

Su Liang is qualified enough to say that the current Imperial College students are not knowledgeable enough.

You have the right to scold them for being greedy for pleasure.

They are more qualified to scold them for being arrogant and arguing with him for the sake of gaining fame.

Public opinion is even more one-sided.

The students of the Imperial Academy often went in and out of Goulan House, often sang on flower boats, and talked loudly in teahouses...

That's a common thing for people.

These students relied solely on their own kindness to become officials even if they were unable to take the imperial examination for high school.

They don't feel it at all.

How important the provincial examination quota they occupy is to other students.

……

Inside the Imperial Prison.

More than 20 students who debated with Su Liang yesterday were all standing in one courtyard.

Everyone lowered their heads.

Ding Du, the supervisor of Hanlin's imperial edict and imperial examination, had a dark face and a pile of tabloids in his hand.

"Trash! A bunch of trash! Su Jingming is not wrong at all when he calls you trash!"

"If you don't study hard, why are you going to cause trouble for Su Jingming? He raises his own funds to run a private school. Whether it will succeed or not is still undecided. What trouble are you going to make!"

"Besides, who in the entire court can argue against Su Jingming? Aren't you just humiliating yourself? Now the reputation of the Imperial College has been completely ruined by you!"

……

Ding Du was so breathless from scolding that he tore the tabloid in his hand into pieces.

At this time.

A student raised his head and said: "Dong Gong, when have we ever been wronged like this? I suggest that each of us write an article to scold Su Jingming and regain his reputation!"

Dingdu looked at this "big smart".

"Everyone writes an article? How do you write it? Then accuse Su Jingming of using tactics to please the people, seeking fame and reputation, and taking shortcuts in official career?"

"Do you believe it yourselves? Su Jingming is a censor who is less than 29 years old! According to his talents, as long as he does not make big mistakes, he will definitely enter two houses before the age of 50. Does he need to take shortcuts?"

At this time, another student raised his head.

"Ding Gong, I...I don't accept it. Then Ouyang Xiu is also a prostitute. Why...why doesn't Su Jingming scold Ouyang Xiu!"

Hearing this, Ding Du, a Confucian scholar who never took action, immediately became angry.

He looked around, picked up a stool not far away, and threw it at the student with all his strength.

"You bastard, if you have Ouyang Xiu's three-point literary talent, you can live in a tile house all day, let alone a prostitute. If you marry ten concubines, I will pay for you!" Ding Du was so angry that he almost fainted.

In a word: lack of talent is the original sin.

In the current Imperial College, there is indeed no one with particularly outstanding talents and learning.

On the other hand, in various prefectures, from time to time, students' articles were introduced to Bianjing City, which made people unforgettable and marveled at their literary talents and strategies, which were outstanding.

Ding Du rested for a while and then said slowly: "From today on, all students in the Imperial College will be banned from leaving home for half a month."

Afterwards, Dingdu rushed to Chui Gong Hall to admit his mistake.

This group of students did not make the mistake of attacking Su Liang's "Hundred Schools of Learning" policy, but the mistake was that their own shortcomings were exposed by Su Liangquan.

Naturally, most of the court officials supported Su Liang.Those ministers who could not understand Su Liang's style did not speak out because they really could not find any point to attack Su Liang.

Su Liang's move once again made his reputation as a little firecracker famous.

There is also a saying once again spread in the court and among the people: There are two things to do in the court: big firecrackers and small firecrackers.

The big firecracker is Bao Xiren, and the small firecracker is Su Liang.

Zhao Zhen did not pursue the matter further, but ordered Ding Du to supervise the students of the Imperial Academy more strictly.

At this time, Zhao Zhen's thoughts were all on Queen Cao.

at the same time.

The Imperial City Department and Kaifeng Mansion also sent additional personnel to protect Su Liang in case of any accidents.

……

On the second day of October, the weather was sunny and cold.

into the night.

Su Liang walked into a private room on the second floor of Fan Building, and at this moment, Cao Yan had been waiting inside for a long time.

When Cao Yi saw Su Liang arriving, he quickly stood up.

"Jing Ming, you scolded those students the day before yesterday. You scolded those students really well. Brother Yu is very impressed, very impressed!"

"Hurry up, sit down, sit down, this is a fine wine that my uncle has collected. Today I and I will drink from a bottle!" Cao Yan said with great enthusiasm.

After that, Cao Yan opened the wine pot and took the initiative to pour wine for Su Liang.

Su Liang smiled and said: "Uncle Guo, you...you...are too polite!"

"Don't call me Uncle Guo. I'm only one year older than you. You can just call me Jingxiu or Brother Jingxiu."

After saying that, Cao Yi motioned to Su Liang to pick up the wine glass.

Su Liang smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about business first, and then have a drink."

Cao Yi was stunned.

"You...how did you know that I have something serious to do with you?"

"You once told me that you didn't like Fan Tower because you thought it was too prosperous, heavy, and smokeless. You and I have been together several times, but we have never been to Fan Tower. Now you have invited me to Fan Tower for only one reason. The advantage of Lou is that no one is monitoring the conversation. Naturally, you have something important to say."

Cao Yan said in surprise: "Brother Jingming, I really admire you. I must be friends with someone like you. If you want to harm me, I will probably die more than ten times!"

immediately.

Cao Yi coughed dryly and became serious.

"My Cao family has decided to fund the construction of hundreds of colleges and let me run them. I will be preparing to resign next month..."

After Cao Yi talked about some details of the cooperation, he added: "Finally, my Cao family has one more important request."

"My Cao family does not seek wealth, only peace." Cao Yan looked at Su Liang very seriously.

Su Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao is not only a smart man, but also a sensible man. I will keep this in mind!"

Immediately, both of them laughed out loud.

As for why Cao Yi suddenly agreed to the matter when Queen Cao was about to give birth.

Su Liang knew it clearly without asking.

First of all, the Cao family knew that it was impossible to achieve anything in military affairs, and they were persuaded by Su Liang's words.

Secondly, if Queen Cao gives birth to a girl and the two parties cooperate again, the Cao family will be in a passive position.

The Cao family agreed in advance, which was actually a smart move.

……

On the third day of October, night falls.

It was freezing cold.

The cool breeze was like a knife, making the trees beside the Bian River rustle and leave yellow leaves all over the ground.

And this time.

The Kunning Hall in the Forbidden City is the residence of Queen Cao.

The chamberlains and maids were in a hurry, and Zhao Zhen was pacing back and forth in the corridor in front of the palace, looking nervous.

Queen Cao, an elderly pregnant woman, is about to give birth...
