Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 259

It is recorded in "Mencius Wanzhang [-]" that in the past there was a feed of raw fish to Zheng Zichan, and Zichan made a pond for schooling humans and animals.

The schoolman cooked it, but ordered him to say: "When you first give it up, it will be squishy, ​​if it is small, it will be elated, and it will pass away."

Zichan said: "It's what you want! It's what you want!"

The schoolman came out and said: "Who said that the child produces wisdom, and I cooked and ate it, saying: 'It's what it is! It's what it is!'"

Therefore, a gentleman can be deceived by his own way, but it is difficult to ignore his wrong way.

Doing this is a bit deceitful, but one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The Supreme Emperor and Mr. Wei have been friends for a lifetime, and the two have long had a tacit understanding.

With a simple movement and a glance, he could understand the other party's plan. After the Supreme Emperor issued the decree, Wei Qinghe immediately bowed to thank him with a smile, and then went to the study to ask his son to write a letter to the disciples from all over the world.

Shake people, you have to shake people.

There are many Confucian families in Qufu, but the old man is not alone.

If he wants to fight against the millennium-old family of the Kong family in Qufu, the old man really doesn't have much confidence if he doesn't call a hundred and eighty people.

On the second day of rest, the Ministry of Rituals drew up an imperial decree to seal and reward, stamped the imperial seal in the palace, attached the name of the cabinet, and soon sent it to Wei Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. , heading south as fast as possible.

Wei Qinghe strongly supported Jia Cong's first innovative sentence reading method, and was granted the title of Fengtian Yiyun, a minister of Linjiang who was a loyal minister of the text, and instantly became the current Wenzong. In the eyes of scholars, the living Wenzong has much higher prestige than the thousand-year-old saint. up.

The Confucian mansion in the capital was wailing, and as soon as Kong Xianglian returned to the mansion, he confined Kong Renjing, who had offended the future prince and the Rongguo mansion, at home and sent a letter to Shandong at the same time.

Of course, Kong Xianglian didn't just write letters to Yan Sheng Gong Kong Renxuan, he wrote a total of more than a dozen letters, most of them were elders who were close to the clan and spokesmen of the Kong family.

"The Kong family has reached the most critical juncture. If there is no change, it will be in danger of being overthrown!"

How to change?The future prince said, it's time for me, Kong Xianglian, to step up to the front desk and take the seat of the speaker of the Kong family.

After the second sage appeared in the Wei Mansion, the emperor's dragon body was in good health. Originally, the officials thought that they would be able to see the holy face at the court meeting the next day, but what they didn't expect was that at the court meeting the next day, Fengtian Hall presided over the court meeting. It is Liu Hong, the fourth son of the emperor.

Grandpa Tian, ​​Lord Emperor, come back quickly, your son is really hard to serve!

Compared with the benevolent emperor and the straight-tempered current emperor, the fourth prince who weighs 99 jin is a nightmare for salty fish like them.

"Ministry of officials, Metropolitan Procuratorate, what do the imperial court support you for? How many times have I told you that every grain distributed must be used on the victims of the disaster. There is news that thousands of shi of grain will be eaten up by corrupt officials.”

"Ministry of Industry, the Xuan Mansion sent four urging memorials in January. When will the craftsmen who repair the city be sent there? Do you have to wait for the Tartars to invade the Xuan Mansion before your people from the Ministry of Industry can prepare?"

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, how dare the Tartar missions rob the people's wealth, and the soldiers and horses of Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng even get along with each other? What a bastard! Leave the words here, and immediately and immediately take down the people who robbed the people's wealth Animals, punish according to the law."

"Er salary, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are hard to bully. The people have worked hard for a year's harvest, and they pay taxes to support the officials. It is not for you to sit in the yamen and drink tea leisurely. From today, the central Draw up inspection teams, stationed in various temples, ministers, inspectors, and state government offices. All officials who are lazy and indolent in government, all get out!"

"The Guhui will invite the emperor to make this policy a routine!"

After the end of the court meeting, the civil and military officials who held their breath and dared not speak, all let out a long sigh of relief after they walked out of Fengtian Hall.

The mourning civil and military officials missed the cold-faced emperor Liu Heng terribly. Compared with the current emperor, the fourth prince is too scary.

For the first time, they felt that the crown prince was too wise and there were disadvantages. It took a while for the wise fourth prince to toss all the officials.

"My lords stay here..."

While the important ministers were whispering, Xia Shouzhong walked out of Fengtian Hall.

I saw Xia Shouzhong flicking the dust in his hands, and said to everyone with a smile: "Your Highness said, the salaries of our officials have not increased for almost a hundred years since the Taizu was here, and the ministers have worked hard on behalf of the herdsmen, how can the court not be sympathetic. It's not easy to live in a big place, His Highness has asked the emperor to re-fix the salary. Starting today, the salary of Chinese and military officials in the court will be increased by [-]%, and the adults who are outstanding in the examination by the Ministry of Officials at the end of the year will be rewarded at the end of the year."

The front of Fengtian Hall erupted instantly, and all the officials cheered together.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

"Your Majesty is holy, Your Highness is holy!"

……

"Fourth brother, the one who gave a sweet date with a stick, is having a good time!"

Jia Cong put down the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand and collapsed on the chair.Daiyu picked up the cat-teasing stick and tapped his head lightly.

"The Fourth Highness is familiar with the classics and history, so you can do it with ease. If you don't study hard, you will not be played around by those adults in the court in the future."

Daiyu has been paying close attention to Jia Cong's studies recently, and wakes him up from bed every morning at dawn. Before breakfast, he has to memorize a passage of classics, and then eat and rest for an hour before teaching classics.

After lunch, rest for half an hour, practice calligraphy for an hour, and then practice martial arts for an hour. It is time to finish eating.

you say play?Practicing martial arts is just playing.

"Brother Cong, you are already ten years old, and you are eleven years old. Now that you have grown up, you have to get rid of vulgar interests. See how interesting it is to read and practice calligraphy..."

This time, with the orders from the Supreme Emperor, Jia Cong was not good at playing tricks, and even complained to Mr. She, who rewarded him with a few tricks.

Hit it, and give Daiyu a ruler...

"Girl, just hit it, if you can't learn it, learn it from the dead!"

hiss!
Did I pick it up in a trash can?
The emperor was rotten, and the four princes were able to toss all the civil and military officials with all their strength. The capital city in winter was rarely full of vitality.

The old cases in the counties under the Shuntian Prefecture disappeared quickly, and the people even sent several Qingtian plaques to the officials of the prefectures and counties.

Master She and the Thirteenth Master Liu Ke guarded the palace gate conscientiously until October [-]th, when the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor drove back to the palace, and at the same time took away the virtuous concubine Yuanchun who had been staying in the relatives' garden for twelve days.

In the early morning of the second day, Shengjia set off from Daxia Gate, went straight to Yongding Gate, left the capital and turned northwest, all the way mighty and mighty.

The emperor specially appointed Wei Qinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to lead the military aircraft, and Qi Bohan and Chu Bangzheng, the cabinet assistants, stayed in Beijing to assist.

The second assistant Zhou Jiong, the assistant minister Xia Lingxing, the Minister of the Household Department Wen Tongxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Cai Quan, and the Zuodu Yushi Lu Yang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate accompanied him.

Most of the clansmen of the royal family in central Beijing and relatives of martial arts nobles were under imperial edicts, and the carriages of the nobles stretched for several miles.

Because there were many female relatives in the accompanying team, the forward speed also slowed down.Traveling more than ten or twenty miles a day is already an incredible speed, and it has just arrived at the foot of Shijing Mountain when night falls.

After another day of running around, I finally arrived at the Xishan camp at sunset.

The Dragon Guard came to report that the princes of Oala and Tatar, the sons of the vassal princes, and the chiefs of the towns on the nine borders all arrived at the Iron Net Mountain camp, waiting for the holy driver.

Sheng Ling camped on the spot and recharged his batteries.

Jia Amnesty was called to the imperial tent, and the Supreme Emperor was full of energy, and he didn't feel tired from the trek at all.

There were only the two sages, the two princes, and his own son in the tent. After Jia She greeted him and greeted him, the emperor said, "Enhou, this time the iron net mountain will be performing martial arts. Could the tiger be deterring the Tartars and the feudal lords?"

With a snap, Jia Amnesty straightened his waist and saluted solemnly.

He hammered the battle armor on his chest with his fist: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, three thousand tigers will surely deter all directions!"

……

Boom, boom, boom...

On October 21st, just after the third quarter of the hour, the warmth of the rising sun spread everywhere, and the grass on Iron Net Mountain had already withered, and the originally bleak winter day became noisy at this time.

The drums and horns rang together, and the relatives of the emperor, the ministers of civil and military affairs, the princes of the Vala Tatars, the sons of the kings and princes of the vassal states, the accompanying missions, and the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army who were in charge of the security of the hunting grounds all bowed down one after another.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Liu Heng helped the Supreme Emperor to get off the carriage, and all the ministers bowed again: "The ministers (foreign ministers) pay homage to the saint (Tian Khan) and your Majesty!"

Although the Taishang Emperor couldn't take care of himself when he beat the Tatars and Oirats back then, the mighty military power of the Celestial Dynasty made the grassland change for three generations of Khans, and the prestige of the Celestial Khans remained undiminished.

The princes and envoys of Tatars and Oirats all knelt down respectfully to pay respects, presented the most precious gifts, and met His Majesty Tian Khan.

As for the lords of the vassal states, several eyes clearly revealed unwillingness and ambition.Especially Goryeo, Gaochang, and the Duohuo Jixi tribe from the Western Regions who came from afar.

Naturally, the so-called emperor of the Wa Kingdom did not come, and the missionaries were thrown by the Ministry of Rites at the end of the vassal kingdom's queue. The missionaries looked around, and they were all horrified and inexplicable after seeing the mighty imperial guards.

"Are Qi Nuer and Si Lin still alive?"

Since the Supreme Emperor beat the two Khans of Wala and Tatars and couldn't take care of themselves, the two Khans have changed three in the past 30 years.

But there are two people who have always been the evergreen trees of Oala and Tatar, that is, Chinur, the teacher of Oara, and the country of Tatar.

But last year, Old Khan Wala died at the hands of his nephew. As the emperor and courtiers, Chinur was locked in the sheepfold. Chinur of the sheepfold disappeared.

In contrast, Silin is much more comfortable. He is still a guest of the Tatar Khan Ten, and has served as the Minister of the Tatar Kingdom for 20 years.

It's just that Si Lin's age is much older than the Supreme Emperor's. Calculated by time, he is estimated to be 73 years old.

Kubale, the prince of the new king of Oara, bowed and replied: "To His Majesty the Great Tian Khan, Chinur's soul has returned to the Longevity Heaven, and he cannot come to see His Majesty the Great Tian Khan."

"His Majesty Tian Khan, the prime minister is seriously ill and cannot travel far. He asked his foreign ministers to pay his respects to His Majesty Tian Khan, and said that after the cold spring in the coming year, he would go to the capital to pay homage to His Majesty Tian Khan."

Suhe, the prince of Tatar, was young, almost the same age as Liu Hong.He respectfully submitted two letters: "This is a letter from the Prime Minister to His Majesty Tian Khan and His Majesty the Emperor. Hope that His Majesty Tian Khan and His Majesty the Emperor will be merciful to the people on your grassland, and open a mutual market as soon as possible."

"Look, this little Tartar prince is not simple!"

Liu Hong whispered in Jia Cong's ear: "The Tatars have a new Khan queen, not only has they stopped intruding on the border of our dynasty, but even once a year, they keep saying that they are the people of Daxia on the grassland. It is estimated that the mutual market this time has already begun to lay out as early as three years ago."

"It's a good thing not to fight, but we can't relax our vigilance. People who are not my race will have a different heart. Unless Tatar becomes a province of my Great Xia and I am stationed in the army, otherwise I will never let go of my vigilance." .”

Jia Cong and Liu Hong murmured for a while, and the tedious process of meeting was finally over.

After entering the gate, Sheng Jia went straight to the imperial tent that had been set up earlier, and the cold air on his body was dispelled by the burning stove.

The Supreme Emperor frowned as soon as he entered the imperial tent, and said to the emperor: "Go pass on Zhou Jiong, Zhang Yue, Jia She, Cao Jiugong..."

"Father, what's the matter?"

Only the Supreme Emperor said in a deep voice: "There must have been a big change in the grassland that we don't know about. It's impossible for Chinur to die so easily. It's related to the overall situation of the mutual market. Silin will not stop coming to see me because of a minor illness. These two people They all stayed on the grassland, there must be something holding them back."

Chinur and Silin are not only the old opponents of the Supreme Emperor, but also one of the latter's followers who deliberately stayed on the grassland.

Even though Tatar and Oala were about to perish, they failed to agree with each other because of the existence of these two people.

How can others sleep on the side of the couch?

Daxia only wanted them to pay tribute, but the other party wanted to annex their own side so as to reproduce the prosperity of the Golden Family back then.

Although the emperor could not understand the rare intuition of the Supreme Emperor, he still ordered the generals to come to the imperial account.

After Zhang Yue read Si Lin's letter, his first instinct was surprisingly consistent with the Supreme Emperor.

"Cai Lin is definitely not too sick to come back, he was held back by someone."

Zhang Yue handed the letter to Zhou Jiong who was sitting on the side: "Mr. Zhou Ge should be aware of Silin, the mutual market and trade is Silin's wish that he has been unable to realize for more than [-] years, and this winter's meeting is the best way to realize his wish." An opportunity close, unreasonably the so-called foot disease blocked his way to the south."

"That's right, wind and cold are more convincing than foot disease. The old man still remembers that he rejected Oara's invitation to form an alliance..."

Ah!
Zhou Jiong chuckled: "It's hard to walk because of the foot disease. These four words made the face of Oara State Master Chinur swollen. The envoys of the two countries live together in the same hall, but they can't form an alliance because of the foot disease. It's interesting!"

"After I saw the word "foot disease" in the letter, I felt that Silin was hinting to me that the grassland has changed!"

After getting the approval of Zhang Yue and Zhou Jiong, the Supreme Emperor's confidence increased greatly.

He snorted coldly and continued: "Qinur is more cunning than Silin, and Silin can survive three kings safely. It makes no sense that after all the little slave sons kill their relatives and seize the throne, they don't immediately throw their power away. The national teacher killed him and put him in the sheepfold, unless he is a fool. Chinur is not dead, I am very sure of this, he must be preparing something, and the people who hold back Silin and cannot go south are most likely he!"
