Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 390 The battle between orthodoxy and the position of public opinion

Can Shi Xianzhi be called a gentleman, but not a capable minister?

Wang Qi's words made all the princes in the palace remain silent.

Although most scholars in the world look down on Wang Qi's talent and learning, and he was able to reach a high position only because of his unparalleled military exploits and prestige, but with his current identity and status, Wang Qi wants to evaluate anyone in the world. Qualified.

Today's evaluation of Shi Kefa can almost be regarded as a final comment on this world-famous Confucian scholar.

Even the princes in Nanjing could not avoid this comment.

Sun Chengzong sighed silently, took two steps forward, picked up Shi Kefa's crown and hat that he had just thrown on the ground, reached out to wipe off the dust on it, and handed it to the guard on the side: "A gentleman should respect him. Please help him take it with him when he is buried. .”

Ye Xianggao on the side looked at Shi Kefa's body and shook his head. He only felt that a gentleman who does not understand the current affairs and takes action cannot be called a capable minister!

At this time, the queen also walked out from behind the jade curtain with the support of a group of palace maids.

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

Wang Qi was in front, and all the adults bowed.

Everyone knew that Wang Qi did not intend to bully the orphan and widowed mother, so it was normal to show respect.

"The late emperor has passed away, and I don't want to see these bloodshed and struggles again. I now live in the harem with the crown prince, and I don't want to hear too many unprovoked fights in the front and back of the palace. Whether it is Duke Qi or Mr. Shi, I have I would like to ask you all to show your respect and respect to the late Emperor today, that’s all.”

"I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"

The Queen Mother finally looked at Wang Qi: "Chief Sir, please help me take care of everything inside and outside."

"It's your job, please don't worry, Queen Mother." Wang Qi had this attitude from beginning to end.

Shi Kefa's death did not cause any fluctuation in his mentality.

After all, now, the chief minister's gaze has made the rest of the people in the hall dare not speak. This kind of power is enough to make people feel an overwhelming sense of despair.

Not everyone is Han Xu, Liu Yijing, or Shi Kefa.

The three gentlemen all died in the Qing Palace.

They all use their heads to seize the ground and die to clarify their ambitions.

All to bring down Wang Qi.

But what is the current result?

What is the fact?

Wang Qi is like the sun.

Its power becomes stronger day by day, and almost no one in the world can compete with it.

Even those great Confucian scholars in Nanjing who advocate heaven and earth and discuss Tao and Chinese studies dare to say a thing or two in front of Wang Qi?

He was just hiding in Nanjing City and barking wildly.

The funeral of Emperor Daxing has come to an end due to Shi Kefa's death and Wang Qi's suppression.

Shi Kefa's body had been put away and the blood stains had been cleaned. It was as if the bloody incident had never happened.

All the princes in the palace retreated one after another.

Wang Qi and others were the last to leave.

Walking in the square in front of Qianqing Palace, Sun Chengzong and Ye Xianggao were on one side, accompanying Wang Qi.

"Chief Sir, today's incident has also sounded a wake-up call for us," Sun Chengzong walked with Wang Qi for a long time, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and turned towards Wenyuan Pavilion before he spoke slowly. "What do you mean, Mr. Kaiyang?" Wang Qi seemed to be asking knowingly.

"Although the affairs of the world can be decided by the parliament, people's hearts are not easy to change. If we go south brazenly and take over the southern provinces, we will not have time to digest it. I am afraid it will cause turmoil and we will need time."

Wang Qi naturally knew what Sun Chengzong meant. The seven-member council had made a resolution half a month ago: five months later, in February next year, the armies of Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng would encircle and march south to Nanjing City to pacify the southern provinces in one fell swoop. , in order to achieve unification.

Sun Chengzong felt that now was not necessarily a good time to go south to capture the city of Nanjing. After all, the number of scholars in the south was several times that in the north, and the loyalty and filial piety among their people were even more deeply rooted in their hearts.

There is history and law today, but there is no guarantee that there won’t be others tomorrow.

Wang Qi was able to suppress everyone with his unparalleled power today, but what about in the future?

Therefore, Sun Chengzong was a little shaken.

After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Ye Xianggao frowned, Wang Huazhen was surprised, and Xu Guangqi and Wang Tiqian looked at Wang Qi.

Waiting for his answer.

嗒.

Wang Qi stood still.

In the huge square, there is a gentle breeze.

Wang Qi wears a white jade temple on his head and a plain robe. The hem of his clothes moves slightly in the breeze.

The whole person looked like a rising immortal.

"Master Sun's worries are not unreasonable."

He didn't call me by his nickname, let alone his nickname, and just called him Mr. Sun.

It is enough to show that Wang Qi does not like Sun Chengzong's wavering.

But because it was Sun Chengzong, Wang Qi was willing to give him a chance.

"However, after five months of the implementation of the New Deal, through the establishment of societies, through the reform of imperial estates, through land allocation, and through trade alliances, the people's income was more than doubled than before. Now, a Donglin Qingliu has died," Wang Qi turned his head , looked at Sun Chengzong: "Shi Kefa died to express his will. The ones who are shaken by this matter are definitely not us and other councils! It is the old people who cling to the old ancestral family law and the supremacy of imperial power without knowing how to change. Civil servant!"

Wang Qi turned around and looked at Sun Chengzong: "Sir, as the emperor's master, you may have been sad and overly sad these days. I can understand and I am willing to understand, but at this time, you should never say anything at this time. These are the words."

Ugh.

Sun Chengzong nodded: "It's probably just touching the scene and feeling sad."

"But chief, you can rest assured that I believe that the rule of the world by the parliament is the right principle in the world, and it will not be ignored just because of one person."

"That's good." Wang Qi said, and something suddenly occurred to him: "Of course, the high ground of public opinion must be occupied. Those people in Donglin like to use their pens to inspire people, and that article "An Essay on Discussing Wang Qi" did just that. Yes, even if I read it myself, I would say less than say a word of praise!"

"The Society of Science has recently begun to publish journal articles, and I read the articles in the Di newspaper quite well." Wang Qi looked at Xu Guangqi aside: "I would like to trouble you, Mr. Kaiyang, as the vanguard of this public opinion position, to contribute to our parliamentary discussion. Fight."

"The Science Society has a special department dedicated to cultural and educational propaganda, and I have arranged manpower to refute this," Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "However, a few days ago, the chief minister's article "On Whose Country Is the World in Today's China" , it has such a bold and invincible momentum, and the rest of the articles will probably be lackluster when they come out."

"Just imitate the sages," Wang Qi shook his head, looking like he was being modest in the eyes of outsiders: "If you want to discuss an article, you still need to wait for your husband to take action."

At this moment, a little eunuch came running from a distance.

He bowed to Wang Qi and said, "Sir, the Queen Mother has summoned you. Please go quickly."

After hearing this, several adults here also stepped back.

The Queen Mother Zhang Yan can only rely on Wang Qi now. (End of chapter)
