I want to be a grandson

Chapter 449 The Emperor's Compromise

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never dare to make any mistakes!"

Jiang Yu's heart was lingering, and he had no time to think about it, so he quickly accepted the order and said.

"Go back."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning..."

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. He knew that if he chose to compromise, even if it was a small step, they would definitely take a big step forward.

The voices who are talking now may just say that it is inappropriate for the royal family to choose concubines in this way, and they should also list ladies with bound feet as candidates.

But once a compromise is made, at least a lady with bound feet must be chosen as the side concubine.

Even they would ask the concubine to do the same!
Desires are hard to fill, desires are dissatisfied, and people's hearts are hard to satisfy!

Zhu Yunxi didn't want the person next to his pillow to be scary when he took off his feet, otherwise would he still be interested?
And let Jin Yiwei record the list of people who make trouble, just to know who is ignorant of current affairs!
It is also convenient for oneself to divide and recruit. After all, the gentry class is a large class and an indispensable class, so it is impossible to suppress and eradicate them all.

Just like the rich people in later generations, you can use them and suppress them, but you can't beat them and I will be wiped out.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and then ordered: "Wang Zhong, send people to the mansions of vassal princes in various places, and bring some things from the palace to send there.

Please also, Uncle Wang, abide by the royal rules and speak softly. "

"Yes, the servant understands."

This kind of discussion among Shilin and the majority is also spreading rapidly.

In the Shu Palace in Chengdu, Sichuan, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was continuing his conversation with the princess.

Although Princess Lan is Lan Yu's daughter, she is not as rough-tempered as other people think generals will be after wielding knives and guns.

On the contrary, he is very gentle, and he is very virtuous in housekeeping.

Lan said: "Your Highness, people are talking about whether girls' feet should be bound or not. Our daughter Xiao Ying is five years old this year. What does Your Highness think?"

Hearing this, Zhu Chun put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "Ma'am, do you want to bind your daughter's feet too?"

Sensing that her husband's attitude was different, Lan poured him a bowl of tea from the teapot on the table and said, "I'm thinking about whether feet are bound or not, I have to make up my mind. After all, my daughter is five years old.
Outsiders will bring up this matter, and I, a woman, don't know how to deal with it..."

Zhu Chun frowned, took the tea and said, "Who said this in front of you?"

Mrs. Lan said truthfully: "You know the noble ladies who often come and go with our family. They are also kind-hearted and have no other intentions."

Zhu Chun said: "If people ask again, you can say that royal princesses have the gift of footbinding! Let them get rid of this idea as soon as possible!
I'm worried that someone will use the mouth of these women to influence the royal family. "

Lan said in surprise: "Your Highness, this is not the case, who can influence the royal family? Foot binding is just a trivial matter, there is no need to do it."

"Ugh……"

Zhu Chun sighed and said, "My father doesn't like girls with bound feet, and my mother doesn't have her feet bound. Besides, there has never been such a precedent in the royal family. If we bind our daughter's feet, maybe we will be reprimanded by my father.
Besides, now is the time for the emperor's grandson to choose a concubine, and Yunxi has made it clear that he doesn't like women with bound feet. If we break the rules of the royal family from our house, where will the emperor's grandson be placed?

At that time, those restless people will definitely use our family's affairs as an example to admonish the emperor's grandson, and trouble will arise then!Are you listening or not, Your Highness?According to His Highness's temper..."

After all, Lan is a woman, and she didn't think too much about the twists and turns. Now hearing what Zhu Chun said, I feel a little scared!
She had heard her husband talk about the emperor's grandson's character, and the Shu palace dared to start this matter, but was held back by others, which made it difficult for him to end...

His Highness will definitely punish Shu Palace!
At this time, the waiter came to report that it was Fang Xiaoru who asked to see him, and Zhu Chun frowned again.

He knew that Fang Xiaoru, as a person with profound knowledge, serious demeanor, and dignified conduct, had the most rigid thoughts.

Moreover, he has a great influence among the literati, and such a person will be respected three points even by the emperor.

I definitely want to meet, but he is asking to meet at this time...

Sure enough, Fang Xiaoru met Zhu Chun, and after some pleasantries, he began to talk about the importance of binding feet for women's chastity, for the maintenance of etiquette, for the superiority and inferiority, and the advantages of male and female defense.

As soon as the words are spoken, it is like the endless water of the Yangtze River, and there is no chance for people to breathe!

Zhu Chun's scalp tingled when he heard it, isn't this deliberately finding fault!
If it’s something that’s usually promoted, then that’s all.

But now is the time for the emperor's grandson to choose a concubine, and you clearly disagree with the prince's approach.

Zhu Chun didn't dare to offend the emperor's grandson, nor could he offend Fang Xiaoru, so he could only pretend to be dizzy and ill, unable to support himself at all.

Fang Xiaoru knew that he was pretending, but he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave...

Afterwards, the eunuch in the palace came to the Shu Palace, brought some tonics, and euphemistically mentioned the matter of foot binding.

It was only then that Mrs. Lan admired her husband's conjecture.

And in Yanwang's Mansion far away in Beiping Mansion, the eunuch who delivered the decree also arrived.

After the two parties met the ceremony, the eunuch said: "His Royal Highness remembers King Yan, and specially ordered the servants to send some ginseng, deer antler, and nourishing bird's nest to nourish His Highness."

Zhu Di said politely: "Your Highness has a heart, thank you His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun!"

The eunuch waved his hand, and the people below presented several pairs of women's embroidered shoes.

The eunuch said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, these are embroidered shoes made by the Donggong Shangfu Bureau. His Highness specially ordered his servants to bring them here. He said that autumn is coming, and you should keep warm. Look, His Highness cares about His Highness Yan. The two princesses..."

Zhu Di said calmly, "Your Highness understands your concern for me, and I will definitely live up to your majesty and the court's trust."

After the eunuch left, Yao Guangxiao walked over from the side, glanced at the embroidered shoes and said, "This crown prince really has a heart, he sent a few pairs of shoes from a long way."

Zhu Di turned around, sat on the chair and said, "He's talking about me, don't let him down!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted through his nose, and said with some displeasure: "Some people really underestimate this king, do you really think that this king's situation is that bad?!
In any case, it is impossible for this king to follow that pedantic person and break the bones of his daughter's feet!It is extremely stupid to show one's own character! "

Yao Guangxiao nodded at the side and said: "Actually, the problem of foot binding is not the biggest problem, but the temptation of scholar-bureaucrats and gentry is the biggest problem."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di felt very angry, and cursed: "This king sees that they are impatient! It is really stupid to want to test the imperial power with this!
My nephew has just been established as... Grandson of the Supervisor, and they jumped out impatiently, wanting to test the fundamental temperament of the new master!
If you really put all the power in his hands for the father, you really don't care about the government?Just watch, they definitely won't be able to bargain this time! "

Zhu Di also understands the struggle inside, but according to his personality, he never agrees with it!

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Even if you can't get any cheap, you have nothing to lose. Left and right are just a trial.
It won't work this time, and next time, the hounds will pounce on the food, and they will try again and again, maybe they will succeed at some point. "

Hearing this, Zhu Di immediately frowned.

But he didn't say anything, let alone refute, because what Yao Guangxiao said was the truth.

A temptation like this will never happen once.

In history, why did the imperial power lose sometimes?It was gradually eroded in the game after game and temptation after trial!
"This group of people are just unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!" Zhu Di scolded.

There is no reason to guard against thieves every day.

At some point, let them get a chance!
There are many such examples. Take Zhu Yunqi and Emperor Jianwen in history as examples, there were cases of compromise with the gentry.

During his reign, he presided over an imperial examination, which took place in the second year of Jianwen, that is, in 400 AD.

In this imperial examination, the famous allusion of "Jishui Quanbang" came into being!
Because Hu Guang, a student from Jishui County, won the first prize, Wang Gen, a student from Jishui County, won the second place, and Tao Tanhua Li Guan.

Although Li Guan is from Ji'an County, he is located in the Jishui River Basin in a broad sense, so there is a saying of "the whole list of Jishui".

Even Zhu Di himself, after successfully usurping the throne in history, had to compromise with the gentry because of his weak foundation and too many opponents.

In the first imperial examination held by Zhu Di, Jiangxi students dominated the rankings.

If you count the list in detail, you will find that there are 110 three Jiangxi students in this session of the imperial examination, and the gold list titles are high school Jinshi.

Moreover, the students from the Jishui River Basin have all won the first prize, the second place, and the third prize!
Not only that, the Jiangxi scholars even swept the top seven in the palace examination!
And this was just the beginning of the heyday of the Jiangxi imperial examination.

In the Ming Dynasty, students in Jiangxi always dominated the imperial examinations.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were twelve champions from Ji'an Mansion!

Plus the second place, Tanhua, and thousands of Jinshi.

This made the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty mostly people from Ji'an Prefecture.Ever since, there has been a saying that "Duoji water in Hanlin, half of Jiangxi scholars in court".

It is undeniable that Jiangxi is indeed at the peak of its literary style, the culture of Luling is indeed not to be underestimated, and it is true that there are a large number of talents.

But for the sake of the stability of the world, the emperor sometimes doesn't just look at the results, he must adopt a "balance".

But why is there such a thing as consecutive dominance?

It's nothing more than the emperor's concession and compromise!

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, this old man thinks that Prince Yan's Mansion should be silent at this time, and should not get involved in this matter. They are tempting the grandson of Jian Guo..."

The words "Grandson of the Supervisory Kingdom" made Zhu Di feel very uncomfortable when he heard the words...

He is very clear about what it means to supervise the country.

The emperor's power is in his hands, how can he fight for it...

Although he didn't agree with what the gentry did, Zhu Di also knew that he couldn't get burned, so he didn't speak in silence.

Compared with Chu Jun, he is still too weak.

The prince has the backing of the emperor and the power of the whole world as a support, but what does he have?
It's just a vassal king who is controlled everywhere!

Once you get into trouble, the man in the palace probably won't care about you...

Perhaps, he wished he could set himself on fire?
