Chapter 818 Uncle and Nephew

Seeing Shi Kuanzhi's expression as if he saw a ghost, Li Yun was stunned for a while, and asked tentatively: "Why, can't you kill the imperial student of your country?"

"How could..." Shi Kuanzhi shouted half a sentence, then lowered his voice: "Of course I can't kill him!"

By this time, the two had almost understood what the other meant, and also realized that something had gone a little wrong with their previous thinking.

Shi Miyuan is naturally a powerful minister, and his power is one of the few since the founding of the Song Dynasty.For any military and political disposal, he can bypass the emperor and directly issue the provincial edict, and then ratify it by playing the imperial decree afterwards.

Therefore, when Guo Ning cut off diplomatic affairs with the Southern Dynasties, he also directly confronted Shi Miyuan, ignoring the empty emperor.He compared Shi Miyuan's authority with his own authority, and felt that Shi Miyuan naturally had the ability to suppress dissatisfaction.

The problem is that Guo Ning's power comes from fighting, but Shi Miyuan's power comes from conspiracy after conspiracy, and from the exchange and weighing of interests within the regime.This has led to great hidden dangers both inside and outside the political group.

Inside, the composition of personnel is uneven, full of impurities.

In the past six months, when Li Yun and others gradually infiltrated and bought off officials under Shi Miyuan's sect from sea to land, the whole process was as easy as pie.And when Guo Ning sent a confidential message from Kaifeng, wanting to confirm the exchange of political interests with Shi Miyuan, the leak of the secret was unstoppable.

On the outside, there are endless political disputes.

In Zhou Guogong Guo Ning's view, the navy needs to stabilize the north and establish a new dynasty. There are too many things to do. Right now, it is best to stabilize the money bag of the Southern Dynasty. What brothers, uncles and nephews' words are cheap, do they take advantage of it? It's all little things.He just used this suggestion to test the political direction of the Southern Dynasty.

But as far as Shi Xiang is concerned, once the news that Zhou Guogong is willing to make a brotherhood with Da Song is leaked out, the Da Song government and the people who are entangled with many political forces will immediately have an extra reason for political strife.

People in the Southern Dynasties read a lot of books, and their verbal and pen skills were more than ten times better than those in the North. They could make sense no matter what the reason.This kind of reasoning is not for the sake of doing the things in front of you, but just for attacking someone who is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of scholars.

God is pitiful, back then Shi Miyuan advocated peace talks, advocated changing uncles and nephews to uncles and nephews, and avoided military confrontation with the Kingdom of Jin; while enjoying the benefits of peace, countless people wrote countless impeachment memorials, saying that Shi Miyuan lost power, humiliated the country and could be killed.

Now relying on the cooperation with Ding Haijun, the North and the South will become brothers, but those people changed their rhetoric, believing that since the Jin Kingdom collapsed, the Song Dynasty has the ability to draw chestnuts from the fire.If you can't get much real benefits and can only be satisfied with the nominal gains... then Shi Miyuan is still dead for losing power and humiliating the country!

The difference from the situation in the past is that Shi Miyuan has been in business for many years, and has filled the capital and Taiwan with sensible and silent people. No matter how many impeachment memorials, none of them will reach the emperor's hands, and there will be no big waves.But who would have thought that those people who feared that the world would not be chaotic would actually encourage Tai student Fu Que to write a letter!
Tai students are the quintessence of young scholars in the Song Dynasty, and they are popular, and because they are young and vigorous, they are easily bewitched by others.Therefore, since the first year of Jianyan, the Tai student Chen Dong wrote a letter and was killed, which caused a huge political upsurge, the court and the ruling officials such as Qin Hui and Han Tuozhou were very taboo about this.

They have issued supervisory orders many times, strictly prohibiting Taixue students from Fuque, and also adjusted the academic regulations of Taixue, and all kinds of out-of-the-line behaviors, such as criminals, tattoos, or capital crimes, are deprived of scholars. Qualifications, imprisonment shall not be an official.

Under the strong suppression, in the past hundred years since traveling to the south, there have been only a few times that Tai students have written petitions.In the past few years, Shi Miyuan has been extremely tolerant to scholars of Neo Confucianism and court veterans, so political battles rarely arouse the Taixue, and the Taixue students themselves are not willing to use their own future to head-to-head with the sophisticated ruler of the court .

Therefore, in the past ten years, Taixue has been stable, with very little turmoil, and only two incidents occurred.

Once, in the second year of Jiading, Zhao Shiwei, the prefect of Lin'an, punished two martial arts students who violated the regulations to manage land for others. There is no father.In order to avoid enmity with the scholars, Shi Xiang dismissed Zhao Shiwei from his post as the magistrate of Lin'an, and the enthusiasm of the Tai students passed.

The other time was after the two points of the Dajin Kingdom, the DPRK and China discussed the matter of the New Year's coin.Many Tai students made a fuss, please behead Qiao Xingjian, who continued to pay the old coins, to thank the world.Qiao Xingjian was originally a sounding board introduced by Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang used him to test it out, and he has a whole set of means to continue paying the old coins. , out of thin air gave birth to the capital of the two cooperation.

That trip, after all, was not directed at Shi Xiang, and there was nothing difficult to deal with.

But this trip in front of him was no small matter. These young scholars suddenly became irritable, and they didn't take the harvest of Shi Xiang and Zhou Guogong's cooperation seriously.Thousands of them thronged around the palace, making many absurd demands!
These Tai students acted recklessly, talking louder than the sky, do they really want to fight a war, really want to provoke the strong neighbors in the north?That's impossible at all, they just want to interfere with the normal political order, and point their finger at the history!

Shi Kuanzhi hated them so much that he was somewhat envious of Ding Haijun's neat way of beheading with a knife.

Zhou Guogong Guo Ning established an out-and-out military regime in the north. Warriors are not only the backbone of the army, but also become the main body of local government affairs through the military household system. They also rely on the army's internal teaching system to cultivate talents trusted by Zhou Guogong.Under this system, civil servants only play the role of assisting in sorting out.

Not to mention that the imperial schools in the capital city are full of Jurchen noble children, it is really different for people who are not of my race.Even if there is nothing wrong, Zhou Guogong will not allow them to act recklessly; once they make trouble, they will naturally cut off their heads, and after the heads roll, the world will be peaceful.

But can this method be used in Song Dynasty?

impossible.What the Song Dynasty pays attention to is clothing, etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality, but it is not as rude and easy to kill as the northern Han children!Shi Kuanzhi thought about this massacre method carefully, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Taixue must not be messed up, but Taixue students can't touch it easily.Behind these young people are countless officials and court ladies, and thousands of amulets.

Therefore, Shi Xiang's top priority is to find out who is behind the instigation of the Tai students who wrote the letter to Fu Que?Who will benefit from the turmoil in the court?Is there any omission in our side's grasp of the court and Lin'an line?

Shi Miyuan naturally had dedicated subordinates to deal with these overwhelming problems, while Shi Kuanzhi came to meet Li Yun, and according to the results of the discussions of the Shi Party's many think tanks last night, he made a request for dredging:

Please don't mention the country of brothers for the time being, and don't sell it.Regarding the relationship between the two countries, Zhou Guogong can have your intentions, but he has to follow the rhythm of the Song Dynasty and step by step according to Shi Xiangye's wishes.

In the final analysis, even if the two countries eventually reach a brotherly covenant, it cannot be proposed by Guo Ning.Compared with Dajin Kingdom's behavior style, that kind of posture was too weak and reasonable, and it immediately caused many fools to look forward to Shu.

Can Shi Xiang really follow their request and force the strong neighbors in the north?Zhao Fang had already tried it once, but it was a mess.If you want to continue to make trouble, what should you do if you really start a war?
Let's continue the relationship between the country of uncle and nephew.If one day uncle and nephew become brothers, it must be the result of Shi Xiangye's manipulation and coercion from the northerners.

The entire process in between can be completed in a year and a half, or in three to five years.As long as Shi Xiangye controls the progress of the negotiations between the two parties, he will have the leeway to advance and retreat freely in the court, and he can take this opportunity to continue to mobilize many cronies and stuff them into official offices.

After finally having the results, Shi Xiangye will rely on this result to subsidize his family, show it off with great fanfare, and use it to suppress those who are foolish in the government and the opposition!

To put it bluntly, everything must be conducive to the ruling of the Prime Minister, and everything must be conducive to the stability of the court.Anything, even if it is beneficial to Song Dynasty, if it can't play such a role, Shi Xiang will not be happy to see it.

"So that's how it is..." Li Yun suddenly realized: "It's because we were abrupt."

Shi Kuan was overjoyed, but a little nervous: "How is it? I have to trouble my virtuous brother to come forward and explain that we are still the country of uncles and nephews, and Zhou Guogong has no intention of changing it, can it be possible?"

Zhou Guogong specially sent a word to Song Guo to show his favor, but Song Guogong's prime minister hoped that Zhou Guogong's envoy would distort it and suppress Zhou Guogong's goodwill. This request is a bit excessive no matter how you look at it.
