Chapter 43: Devote all your efforts and die

At this moment.

Song Gongwen's tone was very serious.

There was an indomitable momentum in his eyes.

Moreover, he had already planned the reform many years ago.

But before, I didn't have the opportunity or the qualifications, but now it's different. Now that I've reached this position, I have to do what I need to do.

Across the way, Mrs. Song looked at her husband's serious look, and suddenly felt in a trance. She seemed to have seen the high-spirited young man who had the world at his fingertips many years ago.

Yes, when I ignored the opposition of my parents and decided to get married, wasn't it because I was moved by my husband's temperament?

Now, my husband has once again picked up the enthusiasm of the past. Should I still pour cold water on him and not support him?

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Song walked forward and said gently: "Master, have you really decided?"

Song Gongwen nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "When the teacher first became the chief minister of the cabinet and implemented the new laws, he encountered many difficulties and resistance and was regarded as an anomaly by all the courtiers. But even so, the teacher still did not flinch, and

It’s about choosing to go straight forward.”

"Now, since I have become his student, I naturally have to follow the teacher as a benchmark. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I must be fearless!"

"Only in this way can we live up to the teacher's reputation. What's more, the teacher also supports this reform."

When I think of the teacher who was alone in the court, facing countless accusations.

But he still insisted on implementing the new law, and he yearned for it extremely.

Now that it's your turn, how can you back down?

"Does the Grand Tutor also support it?" Mrs. Song was stunned, and then said: "But didn't I say that the Grand Tutor will only give you secret help for your opinions, rather than openly supporting it?"

Between Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen, outsiders thought that one side was fawning over the other, while the other was reprimanded for not speaking out and was even embarrassed.

However, Mrs. Song, as the person beside her, naturally knows the real reason.

I understand that my husband and the Grand Tutor reached an agreement that snowy night.

But doesn’t this kind of agreement mean that they are only helping secretly?

So she was very curious.

What kind of support does my husband mean?

"Madam, you don't know. In fact, the teacher also knows very well what the current crux of the imperial court is, and the teacher helped me determine the memorandum of sharing the family. He said that I could raise it at the imperial meeting and he would object.

Song Gongwen smiled and continued.

"But as long as His Majesty agrees to this memorial, he will give me all the help secretly to remove all obstacles for me, so that I can implement it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song's eyes lit up, and she knew that it would be completely different if this matter had the support of the Grand Tutor.

The other party has great prestige and power in the court. Once he takes action, the reform will be much smoother.

But soon, she frowned and couldn't help but wonder.

"But in this case, can Your Majesty agree?"

Mrs. Song naturally knew in her heart.

The Taifu openly opposed it because he wanted to pave the way for His Majesty and her husband.

But the problem is that the other party's prestige is too high, and other courtiers will definitely join in the opposition.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty may be concerned about the impact and will not choose to agree. The best case scenario may be to postpone the discussion.

So, wouldn't all this effort be in vain?

"Madam, you underestimate your majesty." Song Gongwen heard this and laughed: "Your majesty is a wise king, and his vision is far-sighted than anyone else's. His majesty can naturally discover the benefits of dividing a small family into an entire household, so I will definitely agree.”

"I know what Madam is worried about. She is afraid that His Majesty will not agree because the teachers and courtiers will oppose it."

"But think about it, ever since King Yan took over the feudal vassal and appointed me as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, has His Majesty not always acted decisively against all opinions and made arbitrary decisions? Don't worry, as long as the suggestions are good for the court and the country, Your Majesty will definitely give them advice. Will support it!”

Having said this, he couldn't help but have a look of reverence on his face, knowing that his Majesty was going to be the emperor for eternity.

How could such an emperor be shaken because his courtiers disagreed?

So Song Gongwen can be sure.

His Majesty will definitely agree to the matter of dividing the family into an equal share of land, and will strongly support it!

Next to her, Mrs. Song nodded in understanding, feeling that what her husband said seemed to make sense.

But soon, she came to her senses, and immediately said worriedly: "In that case, wouldn't the Taifu have to confront His Majesty head-on? Moreover, if the implementation of "Tatting Ding into Mu" is successful and the court's taxes increase significantly, then the Taifu, he ..."

"I know what Madam is thinking. Once this is successful, the reputation that Teacher has accumulated over the years will be wasted overnight, and he will begin to be ostracized."

"Furthermore, because you oppose His Majesty in everything, maybe one day Your Majesty will get bored and start alienating the teacher."

At this point, Song Gongwen sighed and continued: "This is the teacher's choice. He will do everything he can to establish prestige for Your Majesty and pave the way for me. Madam, the teacher has such intentions. If I fail to live up to him at this time, How will he have the dignity to stand between heaven and earth in the future?"

At this moment, Mrs. Song already understood that her husband had made a decision, and no matter how he tried to persuade him, he would not look back.

Without hesitation, she walked forward, held the other person's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, sir, as long as you make a decision, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, our family will always support you, just like we have all these years."

Song Gongwen nodded, a little pleased and a little emotional, he still had the support of his wife and children.

But what about the teacher? He has always been alone, but he has come to this day.

Therefore, we must not let down the teacher’s expectations and support in the future.

Nor can I fail His Majesty's kindness.

He must assist His Majesty to build the Wei Dynasty into the most prosperous dynasty in the history.

Just like the motto I wrote when I was young, I will work hard until my death!

Even if you can't do it in this life, don't the Song family still have descendants?

Don’t you have a son?

Hmm? Son?

Suddenly, Song Gongwen's heart moved.

It seems that I haven't seen my son during this period of time.

At that moment, he turned around and said, "Madam, what has Hongzhi been busy with recently? Why haven't I seen him for many days?"

"Hongzhi?" Mrs. Song heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard from the servants at home that he now gets up early every morning and starts practicing martial arts, and then he also asks people to bring the sages' books in the room.

I have cleared everything, and I want to read some military books, learn the art of war, and become a general who can command thousands of troops..."

At this point, Mrs. Song couldn't help but sigh. This son was so far behind her daughter.

I think about it every day, and now I don’t even read the book.

What kind of military books should I read and what tactics should I learn?

What to do next?

"The traitor, the traitor!" When Song Gongwen heard that his son wanted to exchange the sage book for the military book, his expression immediately changed.

Skillfully picking up a ruler, he didn't even care about the memorial, and rushed directly to his son's room. As he walked, he said: "If I don't kill this traitor today, I will have no words to face the ancestors of the Song family."

!”

Mrs. Song was startled and chased after her and said urgently: "Master, please don't hit me in the face. In a few days, he will go to the palace to see his daughter..."
