Chapter 223 The debate before the reform began

——

Subjugation of the country?

Zhao Shi looked at Ouyang Xiu faintly, if what you said was not so exaggerated, maybe...

I believed it.

Ouyang Xiu scratched his butt in embarrassment: "Look, can you see it?"

"Look, I can see it."

Zhao Shi nodded helplessly, then turned to look at a stone not far away and said, "Go sit there?"

"good."

Immediately,

An old man and a young man, who were more or less embarrassed after middle school, sat on the stone one on the left and the other on the right. Zhao Shi had a down jacket, but Ouyang Xiu felt a little cold, and looked at Zhao Shi's body with envy.

The long down jacket, which was considered ugly by countless people in the future, was silent for a moment... and said: "It's not all my alarmist talk. If you continue to have contact with her, there is no guarantee that you will not arouse Yelu Hongji's anger, and then start a bloody battle."

"yes."

Zhao Shi nodded,

He didn't know Yelu Hongji, but if it was his destined wife, even if she changed her identity, if she married someone else, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't start a bloody battle, just... Turning to look at Ouyang Xiu's somewhat aged profile, Zhao

Shi Youyou said: "Sooner or later there will be a battle between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty. In this case, Xiao Guanyin's existence is actually not that important."

Ouyang Xiu shuddered,

Sure enough... this man has great ambitions, he said: "Have you ever thought that Song Kang would not be able to withstand it?"

I definitely can’t bear it,

Zhao Shi looked at the rustling bamboo forest in the distance: "So, before we fight outside, we must first settle down inside. I think Teacher Ouyang went through all this trouble today. Firstly, he was indeed a little angry. Secondly, he probably also wanted to make some changes.

This is the Song Dynasty!"

Ouyang Xiu was silent,

His guess was absolutely correct, and he was no longer hiding it. He said honestly: "Nowadays, the Taixue style is popular, and I want to change this trend."

Zhao Shi nodded,

Taixue style is a very deliberate pursuit of not speaking well. For example, normal people will write I am going to sleep, but they will write... It is difficult for people to live in a world, not to mention Taixue students. Even some officials have recently

In the memorial, he began to subconsciously pursue uncommon and weird words, which made Zhao Shi deeply disgusted, but...

"Teacher Ouyang, do you want me to help?"

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were not clear, and he could not see that Zhao Shi was also annoyed, but pretended not to care. He gritted his teeth and said: "If this style of writing is allowed to prevail, there will be no writing. I want to take advantage of the two months later."

He took the imperial examination and dismissed students with this style of writing in one fell swoop, but..." Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi was a little silent. He didn't have himself in his previous life. Ouyang Xiu also gritted his teeth and dismissed these students. Although it caused a lot of turmoil, he finally changed his writing style bit by bit. In fact, he didn't really need his help.

,but……

"Can."

Zhao Shi was silent for a while and agreed. This reaction made Ouyang Xiu a little grateful. Then when he was about to speak, Zhao Shi continued: "It's just that I also have some small reforms and want to ask the teacher for help."

Ouyang Xiuyi frowned,

It's not that he is unwilling, but he feels that Zhao Shi is still young and has not experienced the failure of the Qingli New Deal that he has experienced, so his reforms may be too radical: "Your Highness, you are ambitious, I am deeply comforted, but...

…Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is in turmoil. It seems to be safe, but in fact, it is handled carefully. If..."

"Don't worry."

Although Zhao Shi was young, he always made decisions before taking action: "If I am not prepared, I will not tear the court apart at once."

Ouyang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried: "Then what does His Highness want me to do?"

"Marriage between close relatives is not allowed."

"Um?"

Ouyang Xiu was startled for a moment, Zhao Shi adjusted his sitting position, moved closer to Ouyang Xiu, and whispered: "I once read an ancient book. It was recorded in that ancient book that not only people of the same sex, but also people of the same bloodline who marry within three generations, there is a huge risk.

The probability is that you will give birth to less healthy offspring.”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Shi faintly: "Do you want to ruin Princess Fukang's marriage?"

"yes."

Zhao Shi nodded honestly: "However, if you just want to break up a marriage, there is no need to go through such a big detour. I still want to change our Song Dynasty's custom of incest marriage."

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, stood up, walked around for a few steps, sat back and said, "Are you sure there are hidden dangers in marriage between close relatives?"

"Absolutely true."

Zhao Shi nodded. He wanted to start trying to change the Song Dynasty bit by bit starting from some small details. As Ouyang Xiu said, the Song Dynasty seemed to be stable, but in fact it was in danger of falling apart at the first touch. Zhao Shi did not feel that he

He can be stronger than Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan, even if he comes from later generations, so his idea is to start with some small details, where it doesn't matter even if he fails, and then slowly accumulate experience and gather strength, and finally achieve a complete victory.

Change Da Song: "Teacher, would you like to help me?"

Ouyang Xiu then... stood up and walked around again, then lowered his head and asked, "Are you sure there is such a hidden danger?"

Zhao Shi was a little helpless: "If the teacher doesn't believe it, you and I might as well go and observe those close relatives and ordinary couples. The results will be known at a glance." Ouyang Xiu stopped talking and started pacing back and forth again, and then

Stopped and turned around: "Nowadays, the vast majority of people cannot leave their homeland throughout their lives, and they all rely on family ties. If you and I implement this method, that's not..."

Zhao Shi nodded,

Ouyang Xiu's question seemed to hit the point, but: "Teacher underestimates the desire of men and women to get married. If there is no such method, it may be difficult for them to leave their homeland. However, if there is such a method, it is impossible to say..."

"impossible."

Ouyang Xiu didn't know what he was thinking of. He was hesitant just now, but now he was a little decisive and even said repulsively: "This method seems to be harmless at first glance, but if it is vigorously implemented, it will definitely bring consequences that are difficult to contain, veteran."

Even if I bear the wrath of thousands of students alone, I will never comply with His Highness's request."

Zhao Shi was startled, and inevitably became a little angry, and asked in a strange way: "Could it be that Teacher Ouyang really wants to marry a close relative?"

Ouyang Xiu shuddered,

Zhao Shi was trying to kill him!

He could barely hold back and pinched Zhao Shi's neck, shouting: "That's just what Jia Changchao said to slander me. Doesn't His Highness know it?"

"Yes..." Zhao Shi leaned on the stone and looked at Ouyang Xiudao faintly: "I once knew it, but now I still don't... I retain my doubts."

Ouyang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Is this how your highness does things?"

"How to do that?"

Zhao Shi also sat up, his voice inevitably rising: "I am changing the world, let alone you. Even I am timid and cautious, for fear of accidentally breaking this broken ship. What about small changes? Small changes?

I have told you clearly. If you don’t believe it, you might as well go and take a look for yourself. There are hidden dangers in marrying close relatives. You can’t understand something so obvious? If you really can’t understand it, then no wonder the students think you are

...Don’t have any other plans.”

"this……"

Sometimes Zhao Shi is too calm. If he is not angry, Ouyang Xiu will yell. When he is angry, Ouyang Xiu calms down again, but says: "If this is the case, the problem is still the same, and the marriage between men and women may be unbalanced."

This is not the hereafter,

Zhao Shi said angrily: "There are more than three times more women than men. We only need to encourage young men and women to move around more. Moreover, the life span of men is much shorter than that of women. A few years ago, there were repeated battles with the scarcity of men. If women can

Remarry..."

"This won't work."

Ouyang Xiu straightened his head again and spat wildly: "Human ethics are fundamental, if a woman is allowed to remarry, the world will be unrest, and the sun and the moon will turn upside down..."

Grass!

Zhao Shi was originally a very peaceful person, at least with a calm expression, but at this moment he couldn't help but stand up, stood on the stone, and shouted condescendingly at Ouyang Xiu: "Your old thoughts are really shocking.

As for vomiting, let alone women’s rights, let’s talk about national interests. Although women are not as capable of fighting on the battlefield as men, which is what you think, but to imprison a woman who loses her husband in her twenties, thirties, or even ten years old for a lifetime,

What will a wasted life do to this country?"

Ouyang Xiu's face turned purple in anger, and just as he was about to retort, Zhao Shi continued: "No, but if we can mobilize their enthusiasm, even if in your eyes, women are useless except for husbands and children, then you can teach them more

How many children!”

Ouyang Xiu was startled...

Ouyang Xiu is not the kind of person who is so rigid that he is completely clueless, nor is he a practitioner of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. He is just arguing with Zhao Shi out of instinct. He was startled at this moment, and his whole person seemed to be confused.

As if the water had washed away, he looked at Zhao Shi blankly: "Yes!"

Regardless of anything, even if a woman is mobilized to lift a brick, it is still...a brick!

but……

Immediately afterwards,

Ouyang Xiu's eyebrows wrinkled again. He was a little moved by Zhao Shi, but he was different from Zhao Shi. He had been a person of this era since he was a child, and he had been an official for more than thirty years. He was too

I knew how difficult it was for Zhao Shi to prepare to do this.

"Old minister, I can ask Mr. Lang to say this, but... what if there is an earthquake in the court?"

"Then let it shake."

Zhao Shi didn't notice that Ouyang Xiu had begun to change his mind slightly. He was still in a very excited state. After hearing this, he stood on the stone and answered harshly, and then said quietly: "We must let them...

Get used to it first.”
