Chapter 75 Section fifteen

But the thousands of enthusiastic students in front of Xuande Gate couldn't understand Wang Anshi's mood.Thousands of people knelt quietly on the imperial street, silently waiting for the emperor's answer.The atmosphere in front of Xuande Gate is also one of deep sadness and indignation. Shi Yue with a sick face got off the carriage a few tens of meters away from the students, and slowly walked to the front of the team with the help of Shi Jian. "The voice rang together. I can't see any emotion in Shi Yue's eyes. Under the cover of sickness, Shi Yue looks very tired. In some people's eyes, it can now be known that Shi Yue's "sickness" is not a fake, at least not completely a political gesture.

However, seeing these thousands of students who were similar to his own age, Shi Yue felt a sense of guilt in his heart.It was me and Pan Zhaolin who discussed together, made up a plan, secretly spread rumors in restaurants and teahouses, intentionally or unintentionally led some students who were close to me to provoke the students who had gradually stabilized their emotions in Baishuitan College, and bribed the jailer to release Sang Chong. The tragic situation of being tortured in the country caused Cheng Hao and others to be transferred from Baishuitan at a critical moment... I have a share in everything.

In order to alleviate the political dilemma, he did not hesitate to play with these elites of the Song Dynasty and push them into a dangerous situation-if the emperor decided to suppress, then he would be a sinner through the ages, because the vitality of the Song Dynasty, through This time, there will be no fifty years that cannot be recovered——Shi Yue remembered Pan Zhaolin's promise to himself: "With the character of the emperor, although he is resolute and courageous, he is by no means an innocent lord, and it is absolutely impossible to be like this!" But this kind of singleness Is the guarantee from the outside world really the reason why I can arrange such a conspiracy? "In order to achieve the most noble purpose, the most despicable means can be used." Unexpectedly, I really have the potential of a Machiavelli. When I was plotting in the study, I never had the slightest soft-heartedness.But seeing these sincere eyes, Shi Yue couldn't be so calm.

But the play must go on! "If they are allowed to press forward step by step, the son's political prestige will be wiped out. In the future, at most, he will be a minister of the emperor, a Sima Xiangru, a first-class character in Dongfang Shuo, son, such a future, you Can you be willing?" "Using the power of thousands of students in Baishuitan is the most important bargaining chip in our hands. Only by relying on this power can we finish this game of chess with Wang Anshi, but if this power is used, it can kill Deng Wan. , can seriously injure Wang Anshi, but it will also seriously injure ourselves. Whether it is Baishuitan or the young master, the future situation will become more delicate..."

"However, we have no choice, the lesser of two evils!" "In order to eliminate the negative impact on the son as much as possible, there are more things to do. The emperor's trust in the son is also a key factor for the son to express his ambition." Pan Zhaolin's analysis does have his reasons.Besides, Shi Yue absolutely couldn't stand Wang Anshi sticking his hand into the white water pool! Maybe everything is really a last resort! Shi Yue slowly adjusted his emotions, and finally, the forefront of the petitioning student team had arrived. Outside the Xuande Gate, it was quiet, and everyone's eyes were on Shi Yue.

Shi Yue looked around at the seventeen student leaders, among which Baishuitan accounted for twelve.Shi Yue suddenly felt a burst of pride in his heart, this is a "student movement" after all!My cultivation of Baishuitan scholar-style has not been in vain. His sharp gaze scanned the faces of the seventeen people, and Shi Yue found that the only ones he could name were Zhang Chun, Yuan Jingwen, and a student named Wu Sheng.Although Baishuitan has carried out some of his own spirit, in a sense, it is the school of Sangchong Kingdom, and Shi Yue has to admit this. After a long while, Shi Yue said sharply, "Where do you want to put your father in this way?"

Yuan Jingwen's teacher was Shi Yue, so he didn't dare to make a sound.But Zhang Chun raised his head and replied loudly: "The emperor is a wise king. We will not damage the emperor's wisdom by doing this. If the emperor accepts advice, he will be famous forever. The students don't understand what Shi Shanzhang said. what do you mean?" Shi Yue praised in his heart, but his mouth was not soft: "Then what do you want to do here?" Zhang Chun said solemnly: "Ten thousand words have been written, please release Professor Sang's prison for four, pardon thirteen classmates, dismiss Deng Wan, abolish exemption from military service, and Baojia law!"

Shi Yue sneered and said, "Is this trying to coerce the court with public opinion? How do you want the world to see the court? How do you want future generations to see the present?" "We are only admonishing and upholding justice, and the court can accept it. People in the world should know that the emperor of this dynasty is a wise minister, and people in future generations should also praise the emperor's prime minister for his broad-mindedness and ruling the country with benevolence." Zhang Chun is excellent in eloquence. "Since you have already entered the Wanyan Book, why are you still kneeling here? You should return to school quickly and wait for the emperor and the court to deal with it. Why do you kneel here and not leave?" Shi Yue asked loudly, "Everyone go back to school immediately, Your Majesty. Shengming, you should deal with it yourself, if you kneel here and insist on a result, what is the difference between this and coercing the court?"

The dialogue between Shi Yue and Zhang Chun was heard clearly by thousands of students. Some people were even more resentful, thinking that Shi Yue was not on their side, and the sense of sadness in their hearts was stronger, but more determined; It is inevitable that the idol stands against him and ignores his brother Sang Chongguo. Some people are hesitant, thinking that Shi Yue is right.But no one takes the lead, and everyone is unwilling to move. No one wants to be regarded as a coward, and they will not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. But no matter who it is, for these students who have no sense of opposing the imperial court, Shi Yue's last question is difficult to answer.
