I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 150
After the Minister of the Ministry of Finance finished speaking, many people in the palace cursed secretly in their hearts, “You are so lucky.”
But immediately after the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Privy Council envoys and the Councilors and Political Affairs stood up one by one, and together with the Ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Punishment, they loudly and forcefully stated that this method was feasible and that they would fully support it.
The officials were shocked and confused, and Li Bao was also extremely confused.
Why do these humble ministers do this? Have they never thought about the benefits and risks behind this move?
But in just a moment, Li Bao understood. He had made a raft for the Holy Sage, and these ministers were probably like him, and had been gathered by the Holy Sage in advance.
Li Bao suddenly felt panicked.
His Majesty, the Emperor, is now so majestic that the people’s hearts are at his side. The military attachés in the imperial court have full trust in His Majesty and loyally expressed their support at the first opportunity.
The soldiers are in the hands of the Holy One, and they have the right to speak over the table.
If His Majesty the Emperor succeeds this time, will he go further in the future and test the bottom line of his ministers even more?
Li Bao trembled all over and didn’t dare to think about it again.
Among the ministers, the most flustered was the Minister of Personnel.
The Minister of Libu is a representative figure in the “Shuangcheng School”. He once pleaded with the magistrate of Lizhou and confessed his sins, but the Holy Master spared him. Now he is in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Sentence reading is the foundation for the school to strengthen itself, and it is a natural advantage for officials to unite. If punctuation is really used to standardize sentence reading in the future, what advantage will the school have? So what advantages do you have?
The Minister of Personnel’s lips parted for a long time, and many people from the “Shuangcheng School” secretly gestured to him with their lips, “Master An, Master An.”
Tell me, stop the Holy One quickly!
The Minister of Staff lowered his head and finally said nothing.
“Why,” Gu Yuanbai sneered, “You don’t dare to say it now?”
The noise in the main hall was like a ridiculous dream, and now it was silent, as quiet as if the noise just now had never happened at all.
“Since no one objects, it’s decided.” Gu Yuanbai turned around and went to the dragon throne, “The method used by Taifu Li is excellent. I want all the people of Daheng to benefit from such a good thing.”
“From the Four Books and Five Classics to the Thousand Character Classic that children read, this symbol must be used everywhere,” Gu Yuanbai raised his voice every sentence, “From now on, until three months later, all the great scholars in the world can come Jing, I will let them mark the punctuation marks for each controversial article, and then we will make the final decision during the discussion.”
“I want future Daheng students to be able to use punctuation marks on their articles in next year’s imperial examination.” The Holy Lord had already reached the highest step. He turned around and looked back. All the officials couldn’t believe what the Holy Lord said. When he said that, even when he was kneeling, he raised his head in astonishment. Their faces were different, and the fear and complexity appeared in front of them. The ambition hidden under the anger of the Holy Emperor finally emerged, “In charge of political affairs, listen to orders, From now on, we will work with the Hanlin Academy to find the books in the palace, and mark each book with punctuation marks and re-transcriptions without any mistakes. ”
“yes!”
The Holy Spirit clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the school and didn’t even bother to hide it.
Only then did all the officials come to their senses. Their holy master was not trying to let the saint’s words enter thousands of households, but the holy master wanted to touch all the books and prepare to take away the power in the hands of the school.
The Holy One intends to unify all sentence readings and unify all interpretation rights, so that class monopoly will be broken and imperial rule will stand at a high position.
Isn’t he afraid that the school will break up with him?
The officials looked up in a daze and saw the generals bending down respectfully to obey the orders of the Holy One, and they woke up. Yes, their Emperor is different from the late Emperor. This Emperor has become majestic and majestic since the annexation of Xixia. He is already powerful enough, so powerful that they cannot openly resist him at this time.
Moreover, those ministers and officials looked at Shangshu and Jiuqing with hatred in their eyes. These people actually stood on their opposite side.
They couldn’t wait to open their minds and see what on earth these ministers were thinking. At this time, instead of defending his own interests, he actually stood behind the emperor and pointed the sword at them?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
No matter how powerful His Majesty the Emperor is, if they stand together, it is possible for Him to compromise!
The expressions of the important ministers who were being watched remained unchanged and they were respectful. Gu Yuanbai’s orders were as urgent as raindrops, and before the officials could react, the morning court had already dispersed.
The morning session was a success.
But Gu Yuanbai knew that it was wishful thinking to solve the punctuation problem in one morning meeting.
*
On that day, an article notice with punctuation marks was posted at the city gate. The same is true in Taixue and Guozixue. Students gathered in circles around the notice area, discussing intensely this unprecedented symbol.
Among the students who have not yet become officials, some smart people can also see the meaning behind the punctuation marks, while more people are concerned about the use of these things and complain about why these things should be added to next year’s scientific examination.
But this is something requested by the Emperor of Daheng. With this premise, the students have to accept it even if they don’t want to, not to mention the students from poor families who have experienced difficulty in learning how to read sentences. Most of them have no way to become a disciple or join a faction. , seeing this, his eyes were filled with joy and he was ecstatic.
There is a sentence in the notice: In all future books, punctuation marks will be added to facilitate sentence reading.
The students recited this sentence repeatedly, with either deep thought or ecstasy in their eyes. They vaguely felt that they were experiencing a huge historical change.
And this change is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

At the same time, the imperial court invited the world’s great scholars to Beijing to add punctuation marks to the annotations of books. It only lasts for three months. Naturally, due to the circulation of news, many scholars may have missed the time even when they heard the news.
But Gu Yuanbai didn’t care. He just showed an attitude and shifted everyone’s attention from “whether punctuation marks can be used” to “which method of punctuation should be followed in sentence segmentation?”
After hearing the news, the scholar packed his luggage and ran to the capital in order to insist on the accuracy of his sentence reading. In the capital, some schools of thought began to feel restless.
During the second morning court, many officials excused themselves from illness and did not come to court.
Gu Yuanbai finished the morning court with a calm expression. The next day, more ministers fell ill and were unable to handle court affairs.
They did not dare to do anything to the emperor, so they could only use this method to force the emperor to retreat.
Most of the ministers who fell ill were the mainstays of the middle ranks of the imperial court.
What Gu Yuanbai wants to do is not to force people to force him, nor to lose people’s hearts. As early as the five days before he went to court, he met with the important ministers one by one, and they were moved by emotion and reason. The most important thing was to provide enough benefits.
These important ministers of the Great Heng Dynasty saw the Shengshang’s firm attitude towards the reform of the school. They understood that they could not stop the Shengshang. In this case, it was better to stand on the Shengshang’s side and use the demise of other schools in exchange for their own privileges.
Yes, the Holy One has left them special privileges.
Winning the courtiers to his side, Gu Yuanbai gave them the right to retain five unique copies of the school.
Gu Yuanbai would not allow punctuation marks to be placed on these five books of theirs. If there are students who want to study their five unique books, they can also join their school as before.
Five books, that’s a lot.
Compared to other schools of thought, this is a huge temptation. They chose to accept the hand extended by the Holy One and stood firmly behind the Holy One during the great reform of the school.
But if they don’t move, the court will be as stable as a rock.
But as more and more mid-level officials are sick at home, the operation of various agencies has gradually become difficult. There was a sense of uneasiness in the court, and Xue Yuan was a little worried about him when he went to bed at night.
Gu Yuanbai pulled his head down and kissed him, licking it with his tongue, and said vaguely during the fierce kiss: “It’s okay.”
Xue Yuan responded to him enthusiastically.
The hot breath is like a green fruit gradually becoming mature, and the kiss without passion slowly turns into a watery bright red fruit. With his back tilted back, Gu Yuanbai’s breath gradually becomes faster, and his fair arms reach towards the head of the bed. , covered with light gauze like flying flowers.
The busy government affairs could not allow Gu Yuanbai to cope with Xue Yuan’s repeated advances, because his body was weak after being busy, which delayed things.
But sometimes, like this, when your saliva is almost dry, the strong fragrance bursts out, and the juice is mixed with the clear liquid, you can occasionally indulge yourself and explore the deep itching.
The bed curtains were scattered, covering Xue Yuan’s burning gaze.

“Daheng Guobao” is controlled by the Holy Sage. Articles praising the Holy Sage and Taifu Li are published in turn, making ordinary people convinced that punctuation marks are a good thing. This makes the articles of the great Confucian scholars like a stone falling into the water. Stirring up a little bit of water splash.
The dissemination speed of their articles cannot keep up with that of “Daheng Guo Bao”.
Public opinion was originally controlled by those who held the pen. However, with the popularity and deepening of national newspapers over the years, the voices of the people have gradually been able to influence public opinion and become more and more important.
Seeing that the people were praising the Holy Emperor’s actions, the officials who were reported to be ill at home felt very uneasy.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were so many people complaining about illness, even though they subconsciously felt that the Holy One would not do anything to them, they would still be so nervous in the house that they could not sleep or eat well.
Finally, the Holy One took action.
The eunuchs from the imperial court came to the door one by one and politely asked the sick officials when they would be cured and when they could go to court. After these people dealt with the eunuchs from the palace, they talked with each other and were surprised to find out. Is this a sign that the emperor has taken a step back?
The imperial court really couldn’t do it without them.
The big stone in the hearts of the middle-level officials was relieved, and it was rare for them to have a good sleep. But when they got up together the next day, they heard someone taking their official position.
They were confused, and so were all the government offices in the imperial court.
Each yamen welcomed these officials who appeared out of nowhere early in the morning. These officials took over the government affairs of the sick officials very skillfully and politely got to know their colleagues one by one.
These officials are highly capable, quick to pick up the pieces, hard-working and motivated. Ministers from various yamen offices came to ask the Holy One several times, but the Holy One only smiled and said, “You can use them as you please until the sick officials get better.”
These officials are the officials of the Supervision Office.
This time a large number of officials have excused themselves from going to court, which is a great opportunity for the officials of the Supervision Office. They can move from darkness to light openly. The Holy Father has hinted to them, “Whether you can continue to do this depends on you.” ”
The officials of the Supervision Office who were assigned to various positions were like a shot of chicken blood. Within a few days, ministers came to praise Gu Yuanbai, saying frankly that these officials were extremely easy to use and that the operation efficiency of the various agencies of the imperial court was higher than before. Quite a few.
But the sick official and the school behind him were stunned.
They simply shot themselves in the foot. Some officials were anxious and prepared to return to the Yamen after receiving the news, but the Imperial Army invited them back on the grounds that their condition should not recover so quickly.
The court’s humane expression is that since you are sick, let’s take a good rest and rest for a while.
As soon as this move came out, the capital became a mess. The officials who used the excuse of being ill for the sake of the school fell in love with the school, and the fierce confrontation became more and more serious. When the great scholars from all over the country entered the capital, what they saw was the dispute between the school and the officials.
What’s strange is that they are the two parties to the dispute!
The Confucian scholar who was confused by this scene was invited into the palace. Li Bao followed the sage’s words and told them in tears that they should not forget the sage’s words for their own selfish interests, and forget that the sage Kong had resisted all odds and fought against all odds. The fearlessness of establishing a private school.
Li Baodu made such remarks many times, and it seemed that he believed that he was really serving the country and the people, and his performance touched some great scholars.
Three months passed by in a flash, and when the capital city was on fire, the school finally suffered a decadent defeat. And those officials who used soft means to force the Holy Emperor failed to return to the court.
The most important thing is the punctuation marks. Finally, we can enter the palace of scientific examination openly.
*
Gu Yuanbai never stopped resting during these three months. He continued to lobby or intimidate. Taixue and Guozixue alone received his two visits.
When using punctuation marks for the first time, Gu Yuanbai must pay enough attention to them. Only if he pays attention to it, will all the officials and students in the world pay attention to it.
With the popularity of punctuation marks, students and teachers have seen its huge power. Once these symbols are marked, they completely save their time and effort in learning to read sentences. As time goes by, there is no need for the Holy Spirit to send people to write praise articles. People of insight from all over the world spontaneously use the method of punctuation marks and continue to practice Promote.
When the first snow fell, Gu Yuanbai finally stopped his busy government affairs and took a honeymoon vacation for himself.
Xue Yuan was nameless and statusless, staring at Gu Yuanbai like a pitiful drowned dog every day. When Gu Yuanbai was busy, he couldn’t even say a few words to him in a day. To be honest, it felt a little distressing.
He knew how passionate young men and women who had just fallen in love were, not to mention the leader among them, Xue Yuan. On the day it snowed in the palace, he took Xue Yuan under the plum blossom forest and kissed him quietly with the snow and red plums in his mouth.
Poor Xue Yuan was completely frightened by the Holy Master’s initiative, and was stunned and unable to recover.
In Gu Yuanbai’s eyes, it was just a little… a little cute.
